Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 284 I am Makado
"Asterion Mohr" is merely a title passed down through generations.

Mohr has no personal will; he will completely carry out the orders of the Highlord, and is even regarded by other chapters as "the cold-blooded hound of the Empire".

The task he is now tasked with is to establish his authority, as ordered by the High Lord.

"Checkpoint 789, have people been allowed to pass?"

“The traitors are already at the door, and someone inside is opening the door for them. They should all be killed!” Moore’s expression was serious, as if he were aloof and unapproachable to everyone, as if someone had removed the part of their brain that controls their emotions.

The ruthless order came from his mouth, and those guarding the checkpoint were like ants to him, easily sentenced to death.

The Minotaur Legion's warships approached the checkpoint, while other warships of the lord came to meet them.

As one of the instigating groups, their job is to severely damage Macardo's authority.

The empire does not belong to Makado alone, but is shared by the High Lords.

They also wanted to see just how determined Makado really was.

But no matter what.

Macardo faced an extremely difficult political situation, and the political assets the empire could leave him only to leave him with despair.

The Queen-class battleship Macado has been constantly digesting the current situation of the entire empire.

From the wars facing the empire to the ever-increasing rate of rebellion.

The situation facing the empire left even Makado somewhat at a loss.

The only resource he could utilize was the Astartes chapters he had on hand.

The Astartes Chapters, which the Emperor had originally tried so hard to suppress, have now become the Empire's lifeline. However, even with the support of all the Astartes Chapters, it is still not enough for Macardo.

What the Empire needs most now is to replace its existing 'Astartes' with a new batch of officers capable of handling paperwork. These Astartes are primarily used for military purposes and expeditions to the frontiers; they are simply incapable of administrative management.

Those people in the Gamma world are capable, though.

However, the Gamma World is currently in the shadows of the Empire. Even if he wanted the people of the Gamma World to help them manage the Human Empire, whether they would be willing was another matter, let alone getting them to stop their research and development to engage in these power struggles.

It's quite obvious that the Gamma World doesn't want to get involved in the power struggles within the human empire, so they simply threw him out to deal with this stagnant situation.

Although he had made preparations in advance, seeing the empire in its current state still made him feel uneasy and anxious.

He also knew about the influence of psychic powers on the Emperor.

Before the great battle between the Emperor and Horus, the Emperor had received the power of the future Black King. Although the Emperor eventually defeated Horus in human form after being persuaded by his friend, he saw the injured and defeated Emperor afterwards.

At that moment, he saw in the Emperor's eyes a look of pity and despair for the future of humanity and the galaxy. He seemed to see, through the lens of history, the situation he had been trying to change, which had not changed in the slightest because of his involvement.

He knew how much pain and despair the emperor felt at that time.

Especially the betrayal of his children and the successive departures of his friends at that time.

It was as if he had accepted everything as perfect, only to have it suddenly torn apart, leaving him with a cruel experience of the deepest darkness. If he had abandoned his humanity then, perhaps the Black King would have been born. However, after ten thousand years of worship, even as a mortal, he became a new god in the warp.

The reason he hasn't become a god yet is because he's clinging to his last vestiges of humanity.

"Lord of mankind!"

"This world remains unchanged since you left."

The galaxy is still teeming with enemies, and the galactic divisions have intensified. The human empire is also deeply divided, with enemies not only lurking outside but also lurking within the Terran palaces themselves.

Your Majesty, what exactly are you preparing?
Macado could sense that the Emperor was preparing for the final moments, making final preparations for the future of humanity, preparations that were very likely related to the fate of the entire universe.

So even though the empire is currently in chaos, riddled with infiltration, and with so many warbands constantly experiencing loyalty, betrayal, disappointment, and abandonment, the Emperor is still trying to maintain stability on a large scale and buy as much time as possible.

But now there's clearly not enough time.

A vast number of space undead are gathering, and the Great Devourer, symbolizing the destruction of primordial chaos, has also converged in all regions of the Milky Way. The Milky Way is being torn apart, chaos is invading in large numbers, and the number of awakened psionicists in the Empire is increasing, further accelerating the corruption of the real universe by chaos. All these ominous signs indicate that the Milky Way and the human empire are finally heading towards their final decline, just like other star systems.

"Regent"

While still browsing imperial documents, Makado, hearing the shouts of others, looked up, and his previously aged and hunched appearance instantly disappeared.

Even with the empire in such a state, the emperor still insisted that as his servant and friend, how could he truly show despair in front of others?

Even though everyone knows the truth, they still have the determination to do the impossible and change the future of the empire. The empire may be destroyed, but it must step over my body.

"We've arrived in Terra."

We've arrived in Terra.
Makado's feelings began to become complicated. Once he entered Terra, he would be able to meet the Emperor.

These people were there to escort him back.

His return, fundamentally, involves numerous vested interests. Many people do not want him to return.

However, this return will not be decided according to their wishes.

His return will complete the final task assigned by the Emperor; he must personally meet the Emperor to find out his purpose.

In this way, he can control how the empire operates in the future, maintaining it at its current stage for thousands of years without any problem. However, what he is maintaining is only a declining empire that is being harvested, which has no meaning for the future of humanity.

As Makado pondered, ahead of him, the Father of Steel frowned.

"It's the Minotaur Warband."

"A pack of bloodthirsty hounds kept by those high lords."

"."

Some realized that it seemed inappropriate to speak ill of these people to the Blood Angels, so they changed their tune, saying, "Traitors who obeyed the High Lords! They made the Brotherhood of Astartes a tool in the power struggles of the Empire."

The Minotaur Chapter has a bad reputation among all the chapters.

They are skilled at boarding and raiding.

However, they are better at suppressing enemy fire.

On the battlefield, they would unleash massive firepower without any hesitation. Even teammates from other battle groups who came to support them would be fired at without regard for their own safety, as long as they were within their firing range. They only obeyed the High Lord's orders, and the leader, Mor, was the High Lord's alpha wolf, only knowing how to kill others ruthlessly. Several battle group commanders were killed by Mor.

Although they had participated in the protection of other planets, no chapter had ever been grateful to them. Now that they had just arrived, the High Lords had sent this chapter over. Was it time to start a war?

Many members of the warbands already harbored resentment towards the Minotaur Warband, and now that the other side was blocking their way, they were itching for a fight. With just one order, they would wipe out the pack of hounds kept by the Imperial High Lords.

"Don't attack!"

The eyes of the Steel Father Snowdrifts flickered with the calculation data of the electron beam. If the Minotaur Legion really wanted to go to war with them, they would probably attack their warships directly when the two sides met.

Moreover, they had just left the warp space route and their force field shields were still in place, so they were not afraid to start a war with the other side.

If war really breaks out, they promise to smash the enemy's warships on the spot.

The Minotaur Warband did not make any rash moves, nor did Snowdrifts make any significant actions.

They have arrived in Terra, in the political heart of the Empire. Their mission is more than half complete. In any case, Makado's return is no surprise, and no one can stop him.

Anyone who tries to stop Macado will be protected by these chapters at all costs, ensuring he reaches Terra.

The checkpoint had been occupied by those who had submitted to Makado, and others had already spread Makado's message. Those who believed in the Empire and the Emperor naturally chose to secretly help, and some were even prepared to rebel against these lords and nobles as soon as Makado gave the order. After all, they had long been tired of such a life under the tyranny of the lords.

"Lord Snowdrifts, the Minotaur Legion has boarded the checkpoint!"

At the checkpoint.

The Minotaur chapters did indeed land at the checkpoint. Within the Empire, only these Astartes Minotaur chapters under the Highlords were allowed to move freely and enter and leave Terra.

But now, seeing these people arrive, no one is happy; instead, they feel a sense of fear.

In response to Macado's arrival, they launched a rebellion, during which they killed the oppressors and tyrants who were originally loyal to the High Lords.

But now, something terrible has happened.

The High Lord's minions have arrived.

A member of the Minotaur Warband walked toward a mortal, in front of whom lay an undisposed corpse, clearly that of a high-ranking official.

"It seems you have rebelled!"

The Minotaur regiment company commander's gaze turned icy as he looked at the other side.

Then he raised his grenades and pointed them at the mortals at the Imperial outpost.

"Who gave you permission to betray us!"

How big is Mamaka?

However, before the mortal could finish speaking, the company commander interrupted him, "No matter who it is, a group of enemies cannot be allowed into Imperial Terra. And Makado? Who is that?"

His method was very simple.

They directly defined the arriving warships as illegitimate, which made it easier for them to wrestle and shirk responsibility later.

Under the rule of the High Lords, they also skillfully used various political tactics to try to reduce their own responsibility.

"it's me."
