This Warhammer game is awesome!!

Chapter 195 Let's go raid Tarasin's old home!

"You're planning to relocate all the residents of Terra?"

Guilliman's eyes widened when he heard Qin Yun's plan.

"Not all residents. The Imperial Guards don't need to be relocated; they have to stay on the surface and continue to protect the palace."

Qin Yun showed Guilliman the future plans and schedule.
He planned to construct enough megastructures in the void.

Examples include the Star Ring, Void Nest, and Space Farm, which are used to solve problems such as housing and food for Terra's inhabitants.

The relevant technology has been transferred to Lasky, the ruler of Mars.

Currently, the other party is mobilizing personnel and supplies.

They are preparing to build the first giant space city and gradually relocate Terra's residents.

Once all the residents have migrated to space, Terra will be rebuilt to restore its former ecology.

Qin Yun also plans that Terra will become an important food resource exporting system in the future.
It does not need to rely excessively on surrounding star systems for supplies.

"Is a sage really necessary?"

After reviewing Qin Yun's plan, Guilliman showed a skeptical expression.
"Now, the empire is besieged on all sides and fraught with crises. The slightest carelessness could lead to its collapse and destruction."

"At this time, spending so much manpower and resources to rebuild Terra is, frankly, utterly meaningless!!"

"What are we fighting for?" Qin Yun did not answer Guilliman directly, but instead asked him a question.

"For the survival of mankind, for the beautiful vision that my father promised to mankind."

Guilliman, aboard the Makurag Glory, spoke calmly.

His gaze was fixed on the saint in the projection.

"Then can you tell me where the beautiful vision promised by the Emperor is?" Qin Yun continued to ask.

"Look at Terra now, do you think this is the beautiful vision the Emperor once promised?"

“This…” Guilliman was speechless.

Terra is now the source of the Empire's decay.
Terra had already come to a standstill before his arrival.
It's like a corpse, slowly rotting away.
They are maintaining their existence by relying on past inertia.

Terra's hive cities are bloated, with populations hundreds, even thousands of times larger than those of other hive worlds.

Unable to be self-sufficient, it is heavily dependent on other worlds for food and water.
Once the air routes are disrupted, food and water supplies will be cut off.
Terra will then be engulfed in riots.

If Terra's current state is the embodiment of the Emperor's grand vision, then...
Guilliman was afraid that he would dream of his father standing in front of him, raising his hand to slap him twice.

"It's time for everything to change. There are many bad battles to fight in the galaxy, but we can't keep leaving unfinished work aside and then saying that we have to do it for a greater cause."

Qin Yun spoke calmly and logically.

"Before we appeared, the inhabitants of one world were suffering. After we appeared, the inhabitants of that world are still suffering. What right do we have to say that we have saved them?"

"We cannot tell them that if they just endure the pain a little longer, we can create a wonderful future for them."

"Redemption cannot be half-hearted. What is right in one place should be right in all places and at all times. Only in this way can more people wholeheartedly support that future."

"Don't think so much about the future. At least let people live better now. War will never end. There will always be a stronger enemy."

"With the improvement of communication networks, the exchange of information will become more and more convenient. Your Majesty, do you want the people of the Empire to see Terra as it is today?"

"If we can't even save Terra, how can anyone else believe we can save them?"

"Rebuilding Terra is also a crucial battle. We must use the beauty of Terra to tell everyone that humanity's hope still exists."

Qin Yun paused for a moment before continuing.

"Moreover, if it were Guilliman from 10,000 years ago, he wouldn't have said that rebuilding Terra was a pointless act."

Guilliman paused, opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't utter a word.
The thousand words in my heart ultimately turned into a heavy sigh.

Yes, Robert Guilliman, ten thousand years ago, would never deny the positive significance of rebuilding Terra.

When did he become this cold and ruthless person who only pursues practicality and efficiency?
Was it when Loka launched the Battle of Kos, betrayed the Ultramarines, and started the Blood War in Alteramar?
He led reinforcements to support Terra, only to find that the siege had already ended.
When he arrived at the palace, he only saw his severely wounded father and the barely recognizable Saint Gilles.
Or perhaps, during the Battle of Thessalon, when Forgrim stabbed him in the neck?
"Thank you for reminding me, sage."

“I’m only now realizing that I’m becoming my father. Always rushing around, and in the end, I end up making a mess of things.”

"Rebuilding Terra is indeed a good way to boost morale, but this project is probably not that simple."

“Building space cities and persuading people to leave Terra are all problems.”

Guilliman sincerely thanked Qin Yun, whose words made the Primarch realize the changes in himself.

Qin Yun turned on the projector, displaying a future vision of numerous space cities surrounding Terra.

"I will find ways to solve any problems I encounter. No matter what difficulties I face, I will do my best to make this a success."

“Since you are so confident, then go ahead and do it.” Guilliman nodded. “I support whatever decision you make.”

After discussing the issue of relocating local residents of Terra,
Qin Yun and Guilliman then discussed the current situation in the galaxy.
The current situation remains far from optimistic.
The primary objective of the Unyielding Expedition is to control the eight subspace hub worlds connecting the Solar System.

Only in this way can the sea routes from Terra to other parts of the Empire remain open.

However, apart from the world of Volles, which is closest to Terra, it remains in the hands of the Empire.

The other seven node worlds have all fallen, occupied by the forces of chaos.

The enemy has deployed a large number of Blackstone artifacts on those Nexus worlds, intending to tear the Great Rift even wider, or even throw the entire galaxy into the warp.

Black stone, also known as nocturnal stone, is a very special mineral.

It can amplify subspace, and it can also suppress subspace.

The thirteen Dark Crusades launched by Abaddon the Great Raider

All of this was to destroy the Black Stone Obelisk that suppressed the warp and release the power of the Chaos Gods.

If the forces of Chaos are allowed to deploy the Black Stone creations and tear the galaxy apart, humanity's future will be bleak.
The evil power of the gods will create a despairing universe filled with suffering, slaughter, and inescapable and unresistable conditions for mortal life, a universe akin to hell.

“Once the situation in Terra is resolved, I will also set off on an expedition,” Qin Yun said. “We will definitely win this war.”

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."

Guilliman wasn't being pretentious; he genuinely couldn't handle the mess that was the Galaxy alone.

It would be best if a sage could lead the expedition.

After discussing in detail the war plans for the coming period and the progress of the reform plan, the two sides disconnected.

Qin Yun became busy again.
After the release of "Terra Spring," Terra's political environment improved significantly.

Under Qin Yun's will,
The Terra government has resumed operations and continues to push forward with reform policies.
Improve the welfare of the underprivileged, perfect the education system, reshape the courts and state religion, and eliminate fanatical schools of thought.

At the same time, Qin Yun also began to promote large-scale infrastructure projects.

The plan is to first build thirteen mega-cities in the void near Terra to accommodate Terra's population.

When the large-scale infrastructure plan was submitted to the rebuilt High Lords Council for review...
Jack, Roscalfler, Ers, and others all thought the plan was too crazy, simply a pipe dream.

But out of trust in the sage, they still voted in favor.

The infrastructure work was handled by Mars.
Forging General Laski accepted the task without complaint.

They led a large number of followers of the God of Myriad Machines into the massive construction project.

You should know that Laski used to be a complete die-hard and conservative.
Now, however, he listens to the reformist leader, the 'Saint,' which even the high lords who know him well find unbelievable.

But Laski did not reveal the reason to anyone.
I can't very well tell others that I, the dignified Lord of Mars, almost broke down in tears and wailed that I was wrong in front of a saint!

Building a space city requires a lot of resources.
Terra is the head of the empire, so in theory it has no shortage of resources. Whatever it needs, someone will send it to it.

However, subspace routes are currently unstable.

The storm in the highest heavens continues, and the delivery of supplies is not going smoothly.

To solve this problem, Qin Yun suggested that the Forging General simply mine resources from the nearby solar system.

As a race capable of space travel,

Even after tens of thousands of years, humanity has only consumed a tiny fraction of the vast resources of the solar system.

To accelerate efficiency on Mars, Qin Yun shared Doraemon Workshop's SVC engineering mechs, modular construction, and other technologies with Mars.
Tell them to speed up the mining of ore and the construction of space cities.

At the same time, they recruited a large number of unemployed people to work with Martian mechanical priests to build a space city.
It effectively reduced the unemployment rate and accelerated the construction progress.

With the support of various innovative technologies from Doraemon Workshop
Mining teams dispatched by Mars are mining at an extremely rapid pace in the asteroid belt, gas giants, and the Oort cloud.

A continuous supply of ore, gas, and water.

Magnificent, colossal engineering arks lay anchored in the void.

Various small ships moved in and out like a swarm of bees, transporting raw ore and carrying away finished metal ingots.

These materials were sent to orbital factories on Mars or Terra for secondary processing to obtain finished products.

Ultimately, these finished materials will be used to build space cities.

The spiral-shaped builder machines, controlled by servants, are exposed in space, using their mechanical appendages to perform welding and assembly work.
The massive number of builder drones are like a diligent ant colony, working tirelessly.

The space city's basic framework is constructed using robust refined gold.

Large plasma reactors are installed underground in cities to power various urban systems.
At the same time, a gravity field device was also installed to ensure that the space city has the same gravity field as a planet.

The construction of the space city was divided into different phases.

But once a phase is completed, people and factories are moved into the newly built urban area.

Those who move in will participate in building the space city and getting the factories running, generating profits and reducing the empire's financial burden.

The migrating residents started from the royal palace and gradually expanded outwards.

In the end, all residents and administrative departments will be relocated to space.

In addition to major infrastructure projects, the construction of instant messaging networks has also been put on the agenda.

With the operation of the Terran government, coupled with Mars's powerful production capabilities,

The worlds surrounding the solar system began to be incorporated into the Empire's communication network.

As communications expanded, the Imperial Bank also began to play a role.
The Throne Coin, issued by it, became the sole official currency of the Empire; no other world was allowed to issue its own currency.

The existing currency is exchanged for Throne Coins at a certain ratio.

Throne coins come in different denominations and are suitable for different scenarios.

This practice has drawn opposition from the rulers of many planets.

Printing money was a key means for them to plunder wealth.

If they lose the right to print money, their wealth and status will shrink significantly.

Qin Yun gave these people two choices.

"Either comply with the bill being pushed through, or be burned at the stake."

"The human empire lacks everything, except servants who want to serve the emperor."

Such a tough stance naturally aroused dissatisfaction among many ruling families.

But faced with saints who possessed terrifying religious appeal, they dared not speak out against them.

During the apostasy era, Van Diehl, a mere mortal, caused immense suffering to many families, which gives an idea of ​​just how powerful the state religion's appeal truly was.

Although the state religion was no longer allowed to possess armed forces, its fanatical followers remained a force that could not be ignored.

Now, the Sage controls Terra and also possesses a large army.

I just objected today.

The next day, the punitive fleet will arrive above the planet.
On the third day, the family is expelled, and everyone on the planet can then enjoy a feast.

"Reform must never be so brutal; it tramples on the dignity of loyal subjects of the empire."

Guilliman spoke again, advocating for the ruling families and the powerful elites whose interests had been harmed.
They were so moved that they wept bitterly.

The original body was better, unlike that damned 'saint' who was purely after them and wanted to take their lives.

Why not let the Primarch reside in Terra?!

"A petition written in the blood of the people: the Primarch is the Emperor's true son and should rightfully reside in Terra."

"Get that 'saint' out of here!"

"How hateful! If the Primarch hadn't been so busy saving the Empire that he couldn't spare the time to govern Terra, that guy wouldn't have been able to do such atrocities."

"........."

Unlike the hatred of the privileged class, Qin Yun was quite popular among the lower and middle classes.
Because the reform policies he promoted were genuinely beneficial to them.
Various welfare and human rights systems have relieved them of their heavy burdens.

So that they don't need faith to numb and comfort themselves.
Rather, they truly and genuinely felt happiness.

…………

While the guides were busy reforming Terra,
The young players weren't idle either; instead, they went on adventures, searching for ancient relics or carrying out missions given by the expeditionary force.

The Terra Spring expansion has ended.

All the warbands that participated in this expansion event have reaped huge rewards and made a fortune.

The players of the Hogwarts Chapter were no exception.

They got a lot of good stuff and also acquired an amazing amount of contribution points.
"Now is not the time to relax. We must continue to work hard, save money to build up the fleet, make it bigger and stronger, and create brilliance."

"Don't think about anything else, just focus on one thing: making money."

Old Thirteen encouraged the players in the battle group, giving them a pep talk.

Soon, they received their assignment from the court.
Go search for an ancient warp artifact.

So they set off in a small barge they had just bought.

However, upon arriving at the galaxy mentioned in the intelligence report,

The barges were attacked as soon as they broke free from the highest heavens.

A small fleet of undead was already waiting for them at the warp exit.

Before their barges could even raise their void shields, they were attacked in quick succession.
Its engine was destroyed first, rendering it immobile and turning it into easy prey for the enemy.

The weapon system was damaged in many places, making it unable to even retaliate.

On the bridge of the barge, piercing alarms blared incessantly.

"Damn, is this some kind of targeted attack by a bot?"

Old Thirteen stared blankly at the scarlet notification that appeared on the console screen.

You can't be this unlucky!

This is a boat he just bought!
After another urgent alarm sounded, a worker on the bridge shouted in a desperate voice.

"The enemy is boarding."

"Damn it!!" the Blind Monk couldn't help but curse. "Face the enemy, face the enemy immediately."

The Hogwarts players reacted very quickly.
They immediately assembled and rushed to the location where the enemy boarded the ship.

They are all seasoned veterans.

The thirteenth prince also rushed over.

Those boarding the ship are space necromancers.

These aliens remained silent, wielding Gauss rifles, and fired at the players.
Beams of green light swept across the corridor, landing on the crew members and turning them into dust along with the green light.

"Block these iron ribs."

While directing the battle, Lao Shisan sought help in the player chat channel.

"Brothers, we need help!!"

As soon as the message was sent, the previously sparse chat channel was suddenly flooded with a bunch of veteran players.

Zhan Shuai: "Thirteenth Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Little Alpaca: "I'm just guessing, maybe someone got lost in the pleasure maze and was having so much fun that they lost contact with others."

Bald monk: "Haha, I don't have money to pay the bill, so I don't dare to pull it out."

Jujiro: "@Bald Donkey, you're so knowledgeable, do you do this all the time?"

Old Thirteen: “…………”

"How terrible must my image be in your eyes?!"

"Get to the point, I've been attacked by a fleet of undead."

"For the sake of the Emperor, everyone, lend a hand to your brother!"

War Master: "Necromancer? You went to dig someone's grave?"

Thirteenth Brother: "No, I don't know how I ran into a fleet of undead. Today is just one of all my bad luck."

"........."

The fighting prowess of the players in the Hogwarts Chapter should not be underestimated.

But the space necromancers were no ordinary beings either.

After a period of fighting, Old Thirteen and other players were at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, he was captured alive by the swarming undead army.

Only after they were disarmed and put in magic-suppressing shackles did the mastermind appear before them.

It was only at this point that the players realized that the one who ambushed them was the galaxy's famous collector—Tarasin the Endless.

Because they were trapped in a static field, they couldn't communicate in the game and could only communicate in a group chat after logging off.

"Damn it, they're treating us like collectibles!!"

"Won't I be in jail forever?"

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Am I going to spend the rest of my gaming career in that guy's museum?"

"........."

Hogwarts players are furious.
Their characters are now trapped in a static field, unable to even commit suicide to revive.

Damn it!
Such a ridiculous thing can happen.

…………

Meanwhile, in Terra,

Qin Yun is still pushing forward with his reform policies.
The human empire's development was severely hampered by rampant corruption and bureaucratic drain, coupled with inefficiencies in communications and administration.

Once these problems were solved, the solar system developed at a rocket-like pace.

At the same time, the emergence of various innovative technologies has also unleashed productivity and significantly increased manufacturing efficiency.

Thanks to General Zhuge's efforts, the basic framework of the first space city has been completed.

The first area will be completed in half a month and will be able to accommodate 1.3 million people.

At that time, these people will be transported up and sent to their new homes.

The places where these people originally lived will be sealed off, and no one will be allowed to enter.

Qin Yun relocated those residents not to make room for others.

If one group moves out, the vacated space will be occupied by others. When will the immigration process even begin?!
Just as Qin Yun was pondering how to proceed, Xi Ling's voice rang out.

"Owner."

Qin Yun replied casually,
"what happened?"

"The players at Hogwarts seem to be in trouble."

"They should be fine, their fighting strength is not weak."

Qin Yun frowned slightly, but still didn't take it to heart.

With the eleventh batch of beta testers entering the battlefield, Qin Yun was no longer able to look after every single player.

His job is simply to set the rules and let the players operate within them.

He couldn't possibly handle the troubles of individual players, nor did he care.
The entire five star sectors of the empire, and countless citizens of the empire, rest on his shoulders!
There's no time to bother with those petty players who are getting things done.

Xiling's projection scratched its head, "But the Hogwarts Warband was captured by the Endless Tarazyn and is going to be displayed in their museum."

"Huh! What the hell? Tarachin came to steal my people to take back as exhibits?"

Qin Yun, who had been nonchalant, widened his eyes. "Where are they?"

“They have been captured and are being transported back to the museum,” Xiling said. “The Imperial Bull and Horse Corps has already gone there.”

"You can keep track of the Hogwarts Team players' locations, right?" Qin Yun asked Xiling.

Xiling nodded. "Sure, the technology of the undead race is like an undefended backyard to me."

Qin Yun paced back and forth, preparing to counterattack Tarasin.

"This guy dares to steal my people! He's really lawless. Does he think no one in the Galaxy can mess with him?"

"We need to teach that guy a lesson."

"What should we do?" Xiling asked.

"Tell the players in the Emperor Bull and Horse Battle Group to be careful not to expose themselves. Also, immediately assemble an elite player squad to provide support."

"Once we find their museum planet, there's only one word: rob it."

"We need to find a way to rob that guy's entire museum."

Qin Yun never suffers a loss.

Tarashin the Endless One has really bitten off more than he can chew this time.
If we don't make that guy scream in pain, we'll be letting down the name of the Fourth Calamity.

P.S.: 6,000 words. There will be another update tonight. Thank you all for your support.
