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

Chapter 289 Major Expansion of the Army [Bonus Chapter Today]

Just like he has been for the past ten thousand years.

He has always regarded himself as a tool for the prosperity of the human race.

He has never abandoned humanity as a whole.

It links the fate of humanity as a whole.

But the repeated failures had already taught him a lesson.

He could neither save humanity nor completely eradicate the power of the warp, not even the space necromancers could do that. Moreover, the warp would only grow stronger as humanity suffered even more, making it impossible to resolve.

The subspace is like a malignant tumor rooted in the real universe. From the moment the real universe was born, it was already deeply embedded in it like a butcher's nail that had merged with it. And as the stimulation increases, the butcher's nail rooted in it exerts more and more power.

"But you"

"Don't worry, old friend, just do what you need to do: destroy chaos, seek revenge."

As the original sound disappeared, the Emperor's spiritual power emitted tens of thousands of voices, each representing the Emperor's will and decision.

Among these tens of thousands of wills, it is always the human will that has been struggling to hold on.

Compared to sitting on it and the pain of having your energy absorbed, it's much better.

What pains the Emperor even more is that tens of thousands of consciousnesses are making it increasingly difficult for his human consciousness to sustain itself.

Macardo already knows the Emperor's will.

They also knew what kind of situation the empire would take.

But this was a situation he couldn't change.

The emperor told him countless solutions.

However, all of these proposals were rejected one by one.

There is no solution that can save humanity from the effects of the warp.

Each of the proposed solutions has significant limitations, making it virtually impossible to accomplish this task.

Macardo saw every possibility for humanity in the Emperor's prophecy.

However, each possibility leads to a despairing future. Humanity always thinks it has won, only to become part of a chaotic game, even though it knows very well that no matter what it does, everything will happen according to predetermined facts.

Even if it doesn't happen now, it will happen later.

Even when Macardo knew of the despair of humanity, he still tried to find new methods, but they were all rejected by the Emperor.

The emperor is not omniscient or omnipotent, nor does he understand everything about the universe.

Perhaps there is a way to save it.

Seeing that Macado was still unwilling to give up, the Emperor talked to him for a long time.

outside.

The ministers who were waiting were now extremely anxious.

They didn't know what fate the Emperor would have in store for them, nor did they know what Macardo would do next.

However, through some documents and materials, they learned about the regent's personality.

This regent was not the kind of benevolent ruler. Although he was human, he always used harsh methods when it came to the emperor, which made many people worried about Macardo's appointment as regent.

The sounds of artillery fire and explosions outside continued to echo.

This was accompanied by the constant anxiety of these people.

Having returned to Terra Palace after his death, Macado finally emerged from the Emperor's palace.

No one knows what they talked about.

No one knows what kind of order the emperor gave him.

However, the first thing Macardo did upon his return was to reclaim control of the Assassin's Court and the Inquisition, giving them full authority.

The Empire was originally designed to maintain a balance and ensure its steady progress even in the absence of the Regent and the Emperor.

But it's no longer useful.

The empire has already become precarious under this system. Admittedly, taking back this power would be extremely dangerous for the entire empire. After all, if the regent were to encounter problems, the empire would inevitably experience riots and intractable power struggles during the period without a regent.

But now there are no other options.

He has to be the one in power.

Furthermore, he must gather those Primarchs who can still return.

The Emperor said that all Primarchs would return in some way.

This was the best he could think of.

Each Primarch is equivalent to a Chaos Demon, capable of undergoing a leap to a real-world cosmic level within the real universe, thus transforming into a true 'demigod' of the real universe.

However, the resources required for such demigods are far too numerous for the empire to handle, but some people do.

Therefore, in Macardo's view, perhaps the future is not so hopeless, and perhaps the emperor can return from the golden throne.

Macardo truly doesn't want the Emperor to simply disappear. Therefore, he will spare no effort to complete his mission and save the Emperor, even if the Emperor himself sees this rescue as completely unnecessary.

Macardo received all the documents he had requested to be organized, and he glanced at them again.

The Empire's resources, the planets it can connect to, its military strike capabilities across the empire, the size of its armies in each region, its population, and its ports.
He discovered that the empire's structure had remained virtually unchanged for millennia.

"Abolish everything that should be abolished!"

After silently scanning the area, Makado made a decision.

One of the greatest expeditions ever.

“Remove parts of the Astartes Codex, expand the number of legions to the original number, and return all fleets to their motherships.”

This was the option that Macardo chose based on a prophecy he received from the Emperor.

The current Astartes is being broken down into too many details.

However, this split was meaningless; the legion's power was too dispersed, making it virtually impossible to mobilize soldiers on a large scale for many wars.

The only solution is to reorganize the existing legions, retaining only the loyal chapters, while merging the remaining unidentified chapters before expansion.

Macardo wanted to control all the power.

We must hold military power in our hands. Only when we hold military power will people obey us. This military power includes not only the Astartes, but also the powerful Space Marines and various mortal support soldiers.

In this war, he needed to balance the power of both sides, and he also needed some people to keep the legions together. He was different from those naive guys in the Custodians, who hated the brotherhood between Astartes because such brotherhood could lead to collusion between armies and cause a great rebellion like Horus.

But after he learned the emperor's meaning...

Then I understood that even if there were another Horus rebellion, it wouldn't matter.

Because by then, the empire had already been destroyed, and humanity, along with the rise of the emperor, was utterly annihilated.

Therefore, he needs to restore the previous system, even though this system will inevitably lead to some unavoidable events.

These factors mean that the Empire needs more and more reliable people to maintain the legions.

Such people only exist on the emperor's side.

Those original parts of the soul were cut off, the most loyal and powerful offspring were severed off.

He arrived before.

They had already communicated with the people of the Gamma world.

He knew that the Gamma World actually possessed the power to change the human empire.

However, they were unwilling to manage the empire because, in their eyes, even if they did manage it, within a thousand years, or even a hundred years, all sorts of greed, corruption, enslavement, and power struggles would recur.

Therefore, the Gamma World was unwilling to get involved in the Empire's corrupting influence. Even the expeditionary forces that eventually followed him only stayed under the guise of protecting him; they would eventually leave because the Empire could not possibly be as united as the Gamma World.

However, the Gamma world is willing to provide them with enough equipment, even powerful capabilities like the gravity slingshot, which allows for faster-than-light intergalactic travel.

Of course, if such a device were actually built, it would indeed allow the empire to move quickly to a certain extent.

However, without star maps, they were unable to navigate accurately.

Macardo looked at the expeditionary force's technical soldiers from the Gamma world. He didn't want to hand over all the resources to the people on Mars, because they would inevitably cause the construction efficiency to be extremely low for various reasons.

However, having the Gamma World help with the construction might cause these power struggles to backfire on the Gamma World.

The Gamma World not only supplies equipment to the human empire, but in fact, their resurrection capabilities are far more powerful.

Even a soul that has been dead for ten thousand years can be resurrected by them, frozen in its most powerful moment in the past.

Therefore, in the Gamma world, it is also possible to resurrect some Primarchs that have long since disappeared.

They even modified some of the originals.

Now, news of the Lion King has been confirmed with the Emperor.

Mortarion was manifested by the Emperor himself during the Plague War. Due to Nurgle's pampering of Mortarion, Mortarion was not consumed by the essence of the Warp, and he was able to return.

In addition, there were people like Killieman.

A loyal Primarch of the Empire can continue to serve as a general of the Empire and continue to carry out the mission of the Great Crusade.

As long as the Gamma World is the cause.

They could upgrade the equipment, but it would likely be stolen and opposed by the Mechanicus. After all, the weaponry and equipment have always been provided by the Mechanicus, and they cannot bypass the Mechanicus to obtain equipment from others. The Mechanicus would consider anything not registered as heretical technology, which is essentially a conflict of interests.

Makado sensed the war breaking out outside.

I quickly made up my mind.

"First, quell the rebellion in Terrane, and send the Imperial Fist company to this place."

Makado's powerful psychic abilities allow him to clearly perceive the battlefield and know exactly where the enemies are.

The stronger the psychic energy in a place, the more likely that these chaotic entities are planning some kind of sacrificial ritual. Attacking these places is almost guaranteed to be a safe bet.

"Then bring those high lords to see me!"
