This Warhammer game is awesome!!

Chapter 185 Let's get a Golden Throne trial card!
After bringing Qin Yun into the public eye and making him the acting regent,
Guilliman then set about pushing forward the Indomitable Expedition.

The Fifth Expeditionary Fleet, which was involved in the accident, was temporarily suspended and handed over to Qin Yun to investigate the cause of the accident and carry out reorganization.

The other expeditionary fleets set off in turn.
The third expeditionary fleet was the first to set off.
The fleet was commanded by Cassandra Verlescus.

The flagship was an Oberon-class battleship named HMS Noble Discipline.

On the eve of the expeditionary fleet's departure
Grand Master of the Grey Knights, Vordis, secretly met with Guilliman.
He compiled the findings of his investigation into the Chosen Ones over this period of time, personally handed them over to the Primarch, and took the opportunity to offer his own suggestions.

"The chosen ones must be included in the expeditionary fleet."

"The qualities they possess may be the greatest gift that emperors have given to mankind."

"With them, the gods will no longer be able to draw power from the chaos of the empire at will."

Guilliman reads the data very quickly.

I finished reading the thick document in just a few minutes and extracted the important key information.
You have to understand that with so many words and data, an average person would probably have to spend several days reading it to figure out exactly what the report was about.

"Your report means that the Chosen Ones can block the resurrection and curse abilities of demons, thereby limiting those warp creatures," Guilliman asked Vordes.

“Yes.” Voddes nodded.

“We have tried many times, and both the curses and blessings of the gods have been neutralized when they encounter the chosen ones.”

“If the enemy performs a blood sacrifice, it will normally affect everyone. However, if the chosen ones intervene and disrupt one of the links, they can block the influence of the gods, or even affect the exercise of power by the evil gods, so that they cannot benefit.”

"Just as excessive killing can bring the blessing of the Blood God, while diligent study of knowledge may bring the curse of Tzeentch, as long as the order to kill or study knowledge is given by the Chosen One, the person who carries out the order will not be harmed."

The difficulty in fighting the warp lies in the unique abilities of those bizarre creatures.
They can draw power from the actions, methods, and motives that kill them.
For example, Lucius the Immortal—if you don't kill him, he'll cause trouble all the time.

If you kill him, you will be cursed and become the vessel for his resurrection.

But if the chosen ones were to take action, the outcome would be entirely different.

The other party cannot parasitize the Chosen Ones, nor can it parasitize those who are happy to hear of Lucius's death from the Chosen Ones.

Lucius must be far removed from the Chosen Ones' influence in order to be reborn.

Furthermore, when facing the Blood God's army,

If you don't fight, the opponent will simply sweep you aside and leave you with nothing.

Go ahead and fight; Blood God can continue to benefit from the war and become stronger and stronger.

In addition, there are examples of researching technology, ancient psionic arts, and secrets involving darkness, which are also examples of this.

Therefore, there is no solution to this situation.
No matter what humans do, they will be affected by the warp.

Humanity's ambition and drive grant power to the gods.

The gods can gain power from their acts of destruction.

No matter what, you win; it's just a matter of whether you win a small, big, or super big win.

The Chosen Ones' traits are specifically designed for this.

The gods and warp demons can no longer guarantee profits as before.
If it fails, you could lose everything.

Guilliman looked at the documents floating in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Alright, I will assign the Chosen Ones to the expeditionary fleet."

"It will also allow Mars to mix the modified lighthouse ships into the fleet's serial numbers."

During this period, Guilliman did much more than just assemble the expeditionary force.

In addition to integrating lighthouse technology into Star Torch, several lighthouse ships were also built, with the intention of using them to establish a communication network that could cover the entire Holy Land of the Empire.

Communication has always been a problem that has plagued the empire.

The minions of the gods can make extensive use of the warp to establish real-time communication.

The Empire's interstellar communication, on the other hand, is much less efficient and is frequently disrupted by warp storms.
A new communication network based on lighthouses will become the key to victory for the indomitable expeditionary force.

To get the chosen ones to cooperate, we need to build an instant messaging network and use Xiling to issue tasks to them.

Guilliman originally planned to first send these lighthouse ships to various locations.
Within the territory of the Imperial Holy Land, establish a massive communication network.

Let those lost worlds connect with Terra.
For now, the only option is to infiltrate the expeditionary fleet and establish a communication network for the Chosen Ones.

Otherwise, if the internet is cut off and people are bored for too long, the hardworking little chosen ones will lose their energy.

Guilliman took out a data panel and began to examine the information on the Chosen Ones.

The primary objective of the Third Expeditionary Fleet was to prevent the massacre of the expeditionary force.
To prevent the subspace crack from expanding further.

This means that the Third Expeditionary Fleet will have to face Khorne's demonic army head-on.
The chosen ones must be skilled at dealing with demons.

"Let the Witcher Chapter follow the Third Expeditionary Fleet."

Guilliman muttered to himself as he edited the task on the data panel, then sent it to Xiling for review.

Xiling polished the mission details and then forwarded it to the Witcher Band.

Mission: Assist the Third Expeditionary Fleet
The Unyielding Expedition is about to begin; a new war to conquer the galaxy is about to commence.

】

The Witcher Legion players are currently residing in the Silent Monastery on the moon—Sonams Castle.
Here they learn from the Silent Sisters how to use their soulless power and how to forge weapons containing soulless energy fields.

Sonam Castle was abandoned after the High Lords Council ousted the Silent Sisters from the Sun Sanctuary.
Some families that had sworn an oath have held this place.

They had no resources and lived in poverty.

For many years, they endured poverty and hunger.

But they never gave up and persevered until the return of the Silent Sisters.

Through Guilliman's efforts, Sister Silent regained the noble status she held during the Great Crusade.
Large amounts of resources were sent to Sonams Monastery, the abandoned halls were rebuilt, and the generators that had stopped running started roaring again.
This ancient black building has been revitalized.

Those servants who remained steadfast received their due reward.
They will once again serve the Sisters of Silence and wield corresponding authority.
Those who had once mocked and scorned their stubbornness and foolishness were now filled with unease because the Sister of Silence had regained the Primarch's favor.
In the Empire, revenge for shame and hatred is a legitimate act, and no one would criticize it.

Aleya gazed at these chosen ones, unsure how to describe them.

They were soulless beings, cursed beings, just like him, but they were far more optimistic.
Furthermore, they did not swear an oath to be soulless, so they could speak loudly and freely.

This made Alea feel both disdain and envy.

She's forgotten what her voice sounds like!

"Your idea is absolutely brilliant."

Sister Asuma, the head of Sonam Castle, quickly gestured, praising their idea of ​​encouraging the soulless to learn the secret language.

Due to their inherent characteristics, Soulless Ones find it difficult to find Imperial troops willing to partner with them.
Therefore, individual combat effectiveness is crucial.

Learning the art of whispering, a skill that requires no psychic powers, can undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of a soulless individual, enabling them to deal with various threats more easily.

“You have shared cryptic messages with us, and we must reciprocate.”

Sister Asuma made a gesture.
Then, a servant with a pale face came forward.
Being among a group of soulless beings, such behavior is not surprising at all.

The servant was carrying a sword case.
Inside, upon opening, was an executioner's greatsword.

The hilt of the sword was wrapped with anti-slip strips of cloth, and the scriptures on them were faintly discernible.
The sword was thick and heavy, engraved with ancient and obscure runes.
"What's this?" Brother Zhong looked surprised and delighted.

Thank goodness, I've finally maxed out these women's favorability; are they finally going to give me equipment?

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
too difficult.

I have no idea how Zhan Shuai's succubus managed to do that!

I have a feeling that this guy can easily gain favor with NPCs.

"This is a weapon infused with the remains of the powerful Sister of Silence, named Annihilation, which deals special damage to psionic or warp demons."

Sister Asuma picked up the sword and placed it in front of Brother Zhong.

"This is a gift from you for sharing your knowledge of cryptic language with us. Please accept it."

Brother Zhong happily accepted it.

Holding it in your hand and turning the blade, you can feel its heavy weight.

"If this thing is taken to the Imperial Shrine for appraisal, it's guaranteed to be an epic-level relic."

"He's incredibly handsome."

"I'm envious, I want one too."

"Is there any mission?!" "Is it just one? Shouldn't it be one for each person?"

"........."

Just as the players were drooling over the 'Annihilation' in Brother Seed's hand,

The mission to assist the Third Expeditionary Fleet has been announced.

"Are they sending us to support the Third Expeditionary Fleet? And the rewards include relics and the Skyhawk Medal!!"

Brother Zhong ordered his men to put away 'Annihilation,' which was a treasure of the battle group and should not be used recklessly unless they encountered a powerful enemy.

After all, the Guild is broke right now and hasn't gotten any artifacts.

If I had known, I would have stayed in the Calithis sector with the alpacas and the others to grind dungeons.
That way, at least you could get some relics, instead of being penniless like you are now.

Having received his mission, Brother Zhong bid farewell to Sister Asuma.
"Have a safe journey," Asuma said, making a gesture of blessing after learning what they were going to do.

"May the Emperor's Light continue to protect you."

Brother Seed also blessed the Silent Sisters, and then led the players of the Warband to leave in a transport ship.

Why should we give them our sacred relics?

After the Chosen One left, Aleya gestured to Sister Asuma.

"They are more suited to that weapon."

Sister Asuma responded to Aleya with a swift hand gesture.

“That was left behind by my sisters,” Aleya continued to question.

“Our sister is loyal to the Emperor, child. Everything she has belongs to the Emperor, and so do we. All we need is to serve the Emperor.”

Aleya was somewhat annoyed, but powerless to change Sister Asuma's decision.

…………

The Witcher Legion reported to the Third Expeditionary Fleet.

They had their own warships, but they all remained in the Baal system.

Modern lighthouses cannot transport warships.
Therefore, for this mission, they could only travel on ships of the Third Expeditionary Fleet.

Fleet Commander Cassandra appeared to be in great distress in front of the Soulless Ones.
However, out of respect for the Emperor and the Primarch, the Witcher Chapter was allowed to remain on the Noble Discipline.

With everything prepared, the Third Expeditionary Fleet set sail.

Amidst meticulously choreographed fireworks and cheers,
The flagship, the Noble Discipline, was the first to set sail.

It departed from Terra Orbit, leaving the orbital dock and sailing into the dark, boundless void.
The ship was enormous, its overall shape resembling a giant blade.
The bow position is comparable to that of a light cruiser.

To better adapt to the Unyielding Expedition, the Noble Discipline underwent multiple rounds of modifications and enhancements.
Belisarius Caul incorporated a great deal of technology into this ship.
This behavior drew criticism from conservatives.

First, they hoarded ancient knowledge; second, they pursued dangerous innovations.
Both constitute the crime of technological heresy.

But Caul was clever; he claimed that some of the technology came from saints and chosen ones.
As the human incarnation of Om Messiah, the saint clearly could not be a technological heretic.
Those who use these technologies cannot be technological heretics.
Those who accuse themselves of being technological heretics are the real technological heretics.

Such rhetoric left conservatives red-faced and speechless, unsure whether to refute or not.

The Imperial Navy also publicly stated its support for Sage Caul.
For them, bigger cannons and better engines trump all debate.

Countless magnificent ships followed the Noble Discipline as it left the solar system and entered subspace, heading towards its destination.

The deployment of the Third Expeditionary Fleet was just the beginning.

In the next time,
Expeditionary fleets set sail one after another, and even Guilliman, along with Sicarius and others, embarked on the journey.
The massive and unyielding expedition has officially begun.

This war was a blow that humanity struck at the Chaos Gods.

Guilliman throws himself into the battle against the gods, while Qin Yun also begins the reform of Terra.
He ordered Inquisitor Galen to investigate the incident involving the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet at all costs.

We're planning to follow the trail and give these people a big surprise.
Before obtaining concrete evidence, Qin Yun did not remain idle.

Instead, he planned to use the Infinite Key to help the Emperor repair the Golden Throne first, and then deal with the rest later.

After finishing his official duties, Qin Yun boarded the Overlord gunboat and went straight to the gate of the Sanctuary.
The imperial guards on duty were dumbfounded.

For thousands of years, no one has ever dared to so openly land a gunboat in front of the sanctuary.

“Sage, haven’t you gone a bit too far with your behavior?”

Heraklion, the tribune on duty guarding the sanctuary, spoke in a somber tone, clearly displeased.

Even if the other party has revealed their identity and purpose,
But how could the Imperial Guards possibly save face by sailing directly in gunboats to the Emperor's sanctuary?

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry," Qin Yun said. "After I finish things here, I still have a lot of government affairs to handle."

"So you just happened to be passing by and wanted to see the Emperor?" Herak gripped his halberd tightly, suppressing his anger and dissatisfaction.

"Otherwise what? We can't just come all the way here to see Him, can we? The Emperor can't speak right now." Qin Yun shrugged. "Besides, we don't need to go to the Sanctuary to talk to Him."

"Alright, stop blocking me. I need to go inside and repair the Golden Throne, then I'll have other things to do."

"You're just going to take them to repair the throne?" Heraklian questioned, looking at the War General, the Veteran, and the other chosen ones.
"Who else should I bring?" Qin Yun countered.

Okay, actually, Qin Yun alone is enough to repair the throne.

The reason why players like Zhan Shuai and Lao Niao came along was...
It's because they exchanged their war merits for the opportunity to visit the Golden Throne, which is equivalent to buying a ticket.
While treating emperors as exhibits is somewhat excessive...

However, considering that it could inspire the players' enthusiasm, Qin Yun readily agreed.

“Only you can go in,” Heraklian said. “No other unauthorized persons are allowed to enter the sanctuary.”

"They are not just ordinary people, but the Emperor's chosen ones. Have you ever seen a chosen one who cannot see the person he serves?"

Qin Yun spoke up in rebuttal,
"In the name of the Emperor, make way and let us in."

"Otherwise, I would consider advising the Emperor that the Imperial Guard has accomplished nothing in the past ten thousand years, wasting imperial resources and making a mess of the empire."

"Now they are even plotting rebellion and defying His Majesty's decrees, trying to use the Emperor to command the empire."

“These are all slanders!” Heraklion said.

"So what? If you're not happy, go complain to the Emperor and see if he'll even listen to you." Qin Yun stared intently at the Imperial Guards in front of him.
These corncobs are just difficult to handle.

They all have terrible tempers.

"saint."

At this moment, Trajan Valloris, the commander of the Imperial Guard, came out in person.

"Are you also going to stop me from entering the Sanctuary?" Qin Yun looked at Trajan.

“No,” Trajan shook his head. “I’m only here to accompany you into the sanctuary. You reported that you can repair the Golden Throne, but frankly, I’m skeptical.”

"To ensure the safety of the Golden Throne, the Mechanical Guild has also sent several sages, and we will jointly supervise the repair of the Golden Throne."

Qin Yun is, after all, the only person in the empire who can currently communicate with the emperor.
Trajan dared not offend him.

Although he was the commander of the Imperial Guards and the head of the Emperor's personal guards,
But after the emperor sat on the golden throne, he never communicated with them.

If the emperor were to truly slander the emperor, the imperial guards would be utterly powerless to stop him.

Trajan remembered the words Sicharius had once spoken.

"I wouldn't be surprised if one day you are replaced by those chosen ones."

“They receive far more favor than we do.”

…………

Trajan appeared, accompanied by the royal guards and wise men.
Only then were players like Zhan Shuai and Jujiro able to successfully enter the Sanctuary.

As soon as they stepped inside, they were deeply shocked by the scene before them.

"Is this the throne room?"

"Isn't it too big? How tall is it?"

"Look at those machines, they're ridiculous, you can't even see the end of them."

"This is simply a great advancement in the history of human technology."

"If this thing is studied further, it might even enable humans to ascend to the heavens, just like the Ether Engine."

"When will the official version release a trial card for the Golden Throne? I want to try it out too."

P.S.: Another day of procrastination.
