This Warhammer game is awesome!!

Chapter 247 Meeting of the Empire's Three Giants

The sage had repeatedly warned and instructed that they must keep a close eye on these chosen ones.

When it comes to important matters, tasks should be issued to regulate their behavior.

Otherwise, they really would dare to perform the giant bird spinning in public to grab the attention of the imperial people.

Dante found this behavior incomprehensible.
It seems like these chosen ones don't care about face or anything like that at all.

Sometimes, putting on a mask is the same as taking it off.

The saint explained it to Dante in this way.

Dante didn't understand the meaning of that sentence, but he kept doing it anyway.

This time, I was so focused on meeting the original that I forgot about this matter.

Dante quickly took out the data panel, edited the task rapidly, and then clicked publish.

[Task: Be cautious in your words and actions]

Primarch of the First Legion, Ryan Johnson, has just returned and is filled with confusion about the current state of the Imperium. Note the image before him...

In order to make these chosen ones behave,
Dante also awarded several precious artifacts as prizes to the best-performing players.

Players saw the mission immediately.

"I told you to behave, but you won't listen. You're so unruly, even the NPCs can't stand it anymore."

"The realism of this game is astonishing; we were actually rejected."

"They dare to complain about the Fourth Calamity, they've turned against the Heavenly Generals."

"I also want to challenge the big cat in the name of Ruth."

You should have drawn your sword and attacked immediately.

"........."

Players complained incessantly, but still obediently accepted the mission.

Dante and Ryan are both important NPCs, and maintaining a good relationship with them is crucial.

This relates to the distribution of important relics in some major battles that will follow.

As long as you maintain good relationships, you won't lack funding for equipment.

Look at that chubby boy, he's making Caul so happy by licking him!
You can buy all sorts of cutting-edge technologies at a discount, or even use them for free, but they occasionally explode or something.

(Karl: "I don't understand this world either. People are eager to be my guinea pigs and even give me money!!")
"Who are they?" Ryan asked Dante, looking at the obedient players.

"They are the Chosen Ones created by your Father, who came to earth to save humanity..." Dante explained the identity of the Chosen Ones to the Primarch.

“My father!” Ryan had only been awake for a short time when he learned of the current state of the empire from his followers.

The empire of today has deviated from his father's original vision.

The brilliance of science and reason has vanished.
Only ignorance and superstition have turned it into a lifeless, rotting, bloated corpse.

His father was also worshipped as a god, and there were temples dedicated to him everywhere.

Ryan was initially very angry about this.

The existence of a state religion is seen as the greatest mockery of the emperors' past dreams.
If the emperor were to awaken, the first thing he would do is destroy the state religion.

But now, what the heck is this "Chosen One"?
We learned from Dante that

These chosen ones can not only be resurrected, but also ignore the corruption of the Chaos Gods.

Father, you have displayed such great power; how are you any different from God?!

Damn it, are you starting to give up too? Are you ready to admit you're a god?

Now that I'm back, I'm determined to get everything back on track.

Many thoughts raced through Ryan's mind.
But after a moment, he suppressed those thoughts.

“Let’s go see your brother,” Dante said.

“My brother?” Ryan frowned, a look of surprise on his face.

“Yes, you already have a brother walking in the world.” Dante nodded.

“Saint-Gilles?” Ryan asked.

Dante's smile faltered. "I'm sorry, my father is still lingering on the other side of death, and I don't know when he will be able to embark on his journey home."

"Sorry." Ryan realized he had spoken inappropriately and sincerely apologized to Dante. "By the way, who is my brother who has returned?"

"It's Lord Guilliman. He has awakened from the stasis field, returned to Terra, and launched the Unyielding Expedition, which is currently sweeping away many Chaos forces in the galaxy."

"He would be very happy to see you."

Dante's words excited Ryan.
Upon waking and seeing the state of the empire, he felt utterly desperate.
Dante's arrival reminded him that the Empire still existed, that the human Empire was still resisting the Chaos Gods, and most importantly...

Guilliman is back too; he's not alone.

Please ignore the earlier curses directed at Guilliman.
Ryan didn't really want Guilliman to die; he simply wanted to find a scapegoat for the current state of the Empire.

Guilliman was the regent, and he was the one who created the Astartes. What's wrong with criticizing him a bit?!

Guilliman wasn't liked by his brothers, but his management skills were so good that even Horus would give him a thumbs up.

He even publicly stated that given enough time, Guilliman could defeat any enemy with an endless supply of Ultra Warriors.

At that time, Guilliman will be stationed in Terra, in charge of logistics and operations.

He personally led the expedition and swept across the galaxy.

A powerful alliance, creating new glories.

As for going on the expedition with Guilliman, that's unnecessary.

Ryan still can't forget how he single-handedly beat up the Midnight Ghost Coz back in Macurag.
After bringing Guilliman along, they almost got double-killed by the opponent.

It's not that Guilliman is weak,

It's simply that the two of them don't like each other.
It's easy to lose your temper and act rashly.

"Is he on the ship too? Why didn't he come to see me?" Ryan asked excitedly.

“He is not here; he is fighting a war tens of thousands of light-years away from us,” Dante explained.

Ryan was stunned. Tens of thousands of light-years away?!

How will they meet?

Or has Guilliman mastered psychic powers comparable to Magnus, enabling him to communicate with him regardless of spatial distance?

"Let's go," Dante urged.

“No.” Ryan shook his head. “I can’t leave here to go tens of thousands of light-years away to find Guilliman, Kargath, and the neighboring worlds. They need my help.”

“You don’t need to leave Kamas,” Dante explained. “My lord, you just need to go to the Imperial Glory, where you can contact your brothers.”

"No need to leave?? Guilliman has mastered extraordinary psionic abilities?"

Ryan asked.

“No…” Dante shook his head. “The Primarch does not possess any psionic power. It’s just that the Imperial Glory has a real-time communication device that allows you to talk to Lord Guilliman, who is tens of thousands of light-years away.”

Ryan's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"You mean you've mastered the technology to communicate instantly across the entire galaxy without using psionic energy?"

The fallen angels, including Zabril, exchanged bewildered glances.

Dante's words are even more shocking than the Pleasure Prince's forced kiss on the God of Plague!
Dante nodded with pride, “All this is thanks to the wisdom of the saint, who is the human incarnation of your father, a pure and spotless angel.”

“A saint?” Ryan frowned. “Yes, a saint.” Dante nodded. “The chosen ones also came with the saint.”

The information Dante revealed stirred up a storm within Ryan.
He looked at the metal wings on Dante's back.

According to Zabril, over the past ten thousand years, the Empire's technology has not only failed to advance, but has actually fallen behind considerably.
By observing the current state of the Kamas world, Ryan agreed with this statement.

However, judging from Dante's life, this claim seems to be unfounded.
"Let's go, my lord. The empire has changed a lot, but you have plenty of time to understand."

Dante invites Ryan to board the Imperial Glory.

Even if you are mentally prepared,

However, when Ryan and the others boarded the Imperial Glory, they were still amazed by the various technologies on board.

The interior of the Imperial Glory is entirely made of high-strength nano-active metal, possessing powerful deformability and the ability to change shape as needed.

Looking at the moving metal corridors and staircases, Ryan and the others stared wide-eyed, feeling as if they had entered a magical world.

"This is what you call a lack of technological progress?"

Ryan looked at Zabril with a questioning gaze.

Such technology didn't exist in the 30k era!
Even the Imperial Dream, which his father rode on, never had one.

Zabril expressed his grievance, saying he had no idea how this could have happened!
Besides the shock of the new technology, Ryan also noticed the crew's eyes.

Each pair was bright and full of hope and anticipation.

They are completely different from the people of the Kamas world.

There was a gloom in the eyes of the people of Kamas, filled with uncertainty and unease about the future.

Ryan and the others were led by Dante to a spacious communications room.

As the quantum device roared, electrostatic beams of light danced in the air, outlining a screen that emitted a faint glow.

A giant wearing a weeping mask and with pure white wings on its back appeared in the light screen.

"Saint-Gilles??"

The moment I saw the saint,

Ryan, who had been trying so hard to remain calm, suddenly screamed.

Wasn't Saint Gilles already dead?
When Horus' rebellion ended and I arrived in Terra, I saw his body with my own eyes.

Zabril and the other fallen angels also widened their eyes.

I couldn't believe what I saw.

"I'm sorry, I'm not Saint Gilles." The giant removed his mask, revealing a face that was equally handsome, but completely different from Saint Gilles'.

It was Qin Yun who had received the news and was waiting for communication to be activated.

“This is the Saint, the human incarnation and representative of your father,” Dante explained, seizing the opportunity. “Currently, the Saint and Lord Guilliman are ruling the Empire together.”

"They joined forces to launch the Unyielding Expedition, solely to bring the empire back on track."

“A saint?” Ryan’s tone was full of doubt.

He didn't quite believe in this so-called 'sage,' thinking it might be the work of the chaotic gods.

However, considering his current position, the Lion King did not publicly express this doubt.

"It seems that Kamas's news is true, and the Lion King has indeed returned to the Empire."

Qin Yun looked Ryan Johnson up and down; he was already old and had grown white hair.

The once spirited First Primarch is now all white-haired, and Qin Yun felt a pang of sadness.

“A sage.” The Lion King also sized up the sage, pondering the other’s special identity.

"Xiling, contact Guilliman and tell him to go online as soon as possible. There's something very important that we need to discuss and decide with him."

After confirming that it was indeed the Lion King, Qin Yun wasted no time and immediately ordered Xiling to contact Guilliman.

A moment later, Guilliman appeared in the projection.

"Sage, is there something important you need? I'm busy fighting here!"

Guilliman came up and shouted,

After he finished shouting, he noticed that there was an extra white-haired old man in the communication.

Who is this old man?!
Guilliman looked at the old man in front of him and felt that he was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who he was.

Ryan, seeing that Guilliman looked no different from his 30k days, except perhaps a little more tired, felt a pang of jealousy.

Okay, putting aside his earlier thoughts of brotherly love, he now wanted to beat this guy up again.

“Ryan?” Guilliman looked surprised and doubtful. He recognized some familiar features, but he was not sure.

“It’s been a long time, Guilliman,” Ryan said.

Guilliman's eyes widened. "You really are Ryan? My God, how have you gotten so old?"

“People always get old,” Ryan said.

Guilliman was speechless; he couldn't accept it.

His memory of Ryan was still that of the handsome man with short blond hair from ten thousand years ago.

“So many things have changed,” Guilliman said with a touch of sadness. “Even you have changed.”

“Yes.” Ryan also felt a little sentimental.

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and everything has changed.

Qin Yun remained silent.
The two Primarchs hadn't seen each other for millennia, and they had so much to say to each other.

Half an hour later, the two Primarchs finally emerged from the joy of their long-awaited reunion and the sadness of things having changed.

Taking the opportunity, Qin Yun got down to business and shared all his gains over the past period with the two Primarchs.

Upon learning that the mysterious organizations, including the Sawtooth Question Mark, were helping the Greenskinned Orcs with the intention of restoring them to their former power, the two Primarchs frowned.

"The appearance of the Great Rift has changed many things." Qin Yun looked around at the two Primarchs. "It is an unprecedented test for humanity. We must cooperate sincerely to overcome the difficulties."

"Sometimes, being open and honest is the best way to work together more closely."

“That’s very true. Father concealed everything and took the blame alone, which gave the Chaos Gods an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.” Guilliman nodded in agreement with Qin Yun’s words.

After ending the call, a smile appeared on Qin Yun's face.
A golden light curtain appeared.
[Quest: The Lion King Returns - Completed. Rewards have been issued; please go to the shrine to claim them.]

The mission to bring back the Primarchs was announced a long time ago.
But Qin Yun only completed one, and that was Guilliman's mission.
Now that the Lion King has returned, another one has been completed.

As for the other Primarchs, apart from Saint Gilles, which might be a bit more difficult, the others should all be a matter of patience and gradual progress.

Chagatai, racing on the internet; the wolf king searching for the fruit of life; Vulcan, forging iron somewhere unknown; and the crow king lurking in the shadows of Loka.

All we need to do is find them.

At this moment, a voice interrupted Qin Yun's thoughts.

"saint."

Qin Yun looked over and saw a soldier in military uniform standing at the door, saluting.

"Is there something you need?" Qin Yun asked.

“We have arrived in Holkenvede. The Night Lords have taken control of this world and are attacking us.”

"These traitors not only refuse to surrender, but they dare to fight back!!" Qin Yun smiled. "Then let them disappear completely. Order all units to launch an attack and eradicate them completely."

P.S.: Another one; I can't find a picture of the Big Three anymore.
