Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim.

Chapter 240 Hero Kasgar, This Way
"set sail!"

With the sound of explosions behind Comoros City, Everene's Eldar pirate ships began their voyage into the depths of the net tunnel.

The entire ship was now being piloted by the witch spirits under Lyris's command. Some of them had experience traveling to and from Comoros many times, so navigating the complex network of tunnels was not a problem for them.

From the moment their spaceship took off from the port to soaring through the towering skies of the Comoros, their every action was carried out without the slightest hindrance from the Dark Eldar.

At this juncture, the Dark Eldar, positioned at the center of the massive chaotic battlefield, are clearly struggling to keep up.

If Kasgar had only opened the portal to the warp, the Blackheart Conspiracy would have had the time to spare.

Unfortunately, now it's Smurfs, demons, and green-skinned creatures all swarming in and causing a huge mess.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the Ribs and the Zerg don't rely on the web and warp for movement, it would be hard to imagine what a spectacular mega-battleground the Comoros would become.

"According to our detection equipment, Victor didn't even have time to send anyone to chase us. It's really pitiful."

The pirate ship from Evelynn successfully traversed the chaotic Dark City and headed towards the entrance to the Webway.

Entering the net passage meant escaping Victor's pursuers.

Although the Eldar's detection instruments don't have it, it's always good to be wary of a cunning and treacherous dark Eldar like Viktor.

"It's time to gather the warriors rescued from Comoros and have a good talk."

Casca breathed a sigh of relief.

Since entering Comoros, he has finally had a chance to have some peace and quiet.

"Melushin, you..."

Looking at the Grand Apothecary Melusin, who was calmly looking back at him, Casca greeted her with a smile.

"have you eaten?"

He was finally able to meet his comrade-in-arms from ten thousand years ago, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.

"."

"No, but there's been some progress on Yuan Zhu's matter."

Previously, it was because Casca needed to pass through, and Melusin...
Although Melusin learned from the Bloodlinkers that Casca had awakened and arrived in Comoros, time was of the essence, and she had to take advantage of this crucial moment of cooperation with the Bloodlinkers to absorb as much knowledge as possible from this place.

—She recently absorbed the knowledge collected by the Bloodlings from the ancient Spirit Clan Empire, as well as the experience and knowledge these freaks had accumulated over ten thousand years.

This was an opportunity she had obtained from the Bloodlust by exchanging a large number of potion formulas. Even if there were rumors of Casca's return, they were just rumors, and it was impossible for her to leave this library even for a moment.

Only now can she successfully reunite with Casca.

"You haven't changed a bit since ten thousand years ago."

Seeing that the other person still had the same feeling as before, Meilushin sighed and a faint helpless smile appeared on her lips.

Melusin remembered that she had asked the Primarch himself the same question.

As for Fugrim's answer, it was simple: "That's right!"

Don't you think he's cute like this?

cute?

Is this a term used to describe Space Marines?

At the time, Melissa found it hard to associate this brat who was always making her angry with the word "cute".

Well, neither of these two is normal.

However, having endured the trials of those fallen princes over the course of ten thousand years, Melusin found herself somewhat nostalgic for Casca, who possessed a slightly foolish charm.

Ten thousand years later, perhaps because the blight was cured, her appearance did not seem to have changed much.

Her eyes were sharper than before, like a scalpel that could see right through a person's heart.

Over the millennia, the great apothecary Melusin has experienced too much and has essentially lost faith in the current state of the Emperor's Son's decline.

Besides research, Melusin wasn't good at anything else. Even if she wanted to discipline the remaining imperial princes, she could only get superficial compliance. Soon, Melusin lost interest in it.

Only by establishing a pharmacist academy on Chemos could we widely recruit pharmacists from all of humanity's Space Marines to study there.

The prince's title has been ruined.

Then go create other alt accounts.

Although there were considerable obstacles to its establishment, under the research of the great pharmacist Melusin, her pharmacist academy gradually gained a reputation similar to that of Martian exchange students who were technical sergeants.

Only pharmacists who have studied at Chemos College for several years can be considered the best pharmacists.

Chemos International Student.

As for the apothecary academy, Casca had visited it before, when she was in Chemos, at the apothecary academy Melousin had left.

The slogans outside the college were also very simple and clear—

The 40th millennium is the millennium of biology.

However, the sign for "forty" appears to have been altered many times.

It seems that the career of rewriting began around the 30th millennium.

"So what do you think of the current human empire?"

"What else can we do?"

Casca's answer also contained a hint of helplessness.

Neither he, nor Regent Guilliman, nor the Emperor could save this already rotten human empire. And in the endless internal strife, the human empire once again squandered the little foundation and hope they had painstakingly built.

Like an old man in his twilight years, he will inevitably face his fate no matter what.

death.

But this will not be a spectacular event, nor will it be a fitting end.

Instead, like any human being or any species, it quietly collapsed on a deserted morning and never rose again.

"It seems you're rather pessimistic."

"Maybe, but now is not the time for me to give up."

“Bring all the Space Marines behind you here.”

What conclusions have you drawn from your research on these soldiers?

Melusin and his dozens of apothecary apprentices, along with the hundreds of Space Marines rescued by Casca from the Comoros, will all join the Phoenix Sons of Casca according to the agreement.

"Their quality is indeed quite good."

Pharmacist Melusin nodded in agreement.

With the careful selection of the Conspiracy Council's governors, these prisoners of war captured by the Dark Eldar as gladiators are all experienced veterans in their respective chapters.

Although they weren't the kind of super soldiers who could take on a hundred men, they were definitely an elite force for Space Marines.

"But according to you, the Sons of Phoenix still have thousands of new recruits waiting to join."

"Would our organization exceed the requirements of the Astartes Codex?"

As a pharmacist, Melusin was very perceptive about this.

"It's alright. We, the Sons of the Phoenix, have always been an expeditionary force. Our entire warband is constantly on expeditions."

Like Sigismund of the Black Templar, the Phoenix's expedition against humanity's enemies will never cease.

This also gave them the leeway to expand beyond the size of the Holy Order.

The Black Templar Chapter currently has a total of five to six thousand members on its expedition, far exceeding the size of a typical chapter.

Of course, such a large scale will also attract the attention of the court and the Ministry of the Interior.

Even though the high command of the Imperium knew that the Black Templars were extremely fanatical and the Imperium's "dark-skinned orcs," their vigilance towards the Space Marines never diminished in the slightest.

To avoid being monitored by so many forces, the Phoenix Child needs to develop secretly, without the knowledge of those damned judges and the Ministry of the Interior.

Kaul has already applied to the Imperial authorities for assistance regarding the return of the Phoenix Son.

"Based on the current written documents, the Phoenix Children are still a Space Marine Chapter in dire need of resources to complete the initial reconstruction."

I, the Son of Phoenix, am sending money.

".All right."

Despite the somewhat chaotic nature of the group, these veterans were still brought together by the name of the legendary hero Casca.

Three thousand years have passed since Guilliman fell into slumber.

Even among the Ultra Warriors, few of the legendary warriors who had fought alongside the Emperor's offspring remain.

—Except for Dante.

For these veteran Space Marines, the ability to rise from being a gladiator to a subordinate of the legendary hero who saved the Empire was an achievement worthy of immense joy.

Under the reorganization of Casgar, these four hundred-plus Space Marine veterans officially joined the Phoenix Sons and became members of the chapter.

Shortly after, the internet exited. "Ah!"

"Finally, I can leave that damn city!"

The former arena queen, now Lyris, stood excitedly on the surface of this Eldar girl's world, breathing in the air from outside the Comoros.

She had previously tried to leave the deep web of the Comoros and roam freely in the world.

But that gaze from the abyss kept eyeing her unprotected soul, making her feel terrified as she walked through the real universe.

Slaanesh was so enamored with her that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

However, thanks to Casca's help, she and her spirits no longer need to worry about the lurking Lady of Thirst in the abyss.

"Demi god."

"What should we do?"

When Casca arrived at her residence, the two engaged in a fierce battle without exchanging a single word.

Lyris does possess immense strength and skill, but compared to Casca, her level is still somewhat lacking.

Even without using his spiritual power, Kaska's current swordsmanship and strength, though somewhat strained, would still be enough to defeat Lyris.

After that, Kasgar removed the Slaanesh mark from her and then worked with her to collect the captured Space Marines in the Comoros.

"The relationship between humans and Eldar is currently tense, so you'd better not follow me."

"If possible, take us to the vicinity of the Emperor's territory and leave us a transport ship."

"As for you, Lylis, and Evelynn."

Kasgar glanced at the two Eldar sisters: "Eriel. Go find her and her pirate fleet."

Ten thousand years later, the greatest power he could rely on was Princess Yrel, the unparalleled overlord among the Eldar pirates.

For some reason, she and her fleet, who were originally very active in the Milky Way, suddenly disappeared during this period.

Even Casca's extensive inquiries in the Comoros have yielded no valuable leads.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's very likely because of her hometown."

"The Ark of Iyndon is under attack by the Hive Fleet—if there is no news from Yrel, it is very likely that it is being surrounded by the Hive Fleet."

"That would be dangerous."

Upon hearing Lylis's information, Kasgar frowned.

“Tsk, my Phoenix Child is not yet fully formed. Lyris, Evelynn, you two should find out if Yrel has really been attacked by the Hive Fleet.”

"If this is true, I will go to provide support as soon as possible after I have reorganized my Phoenix Fleet."

"If there are no objections, let's part ways here."

Kaska looked at the two of them and said.

Oh right, there seems to be something I haven't finished saying.

"Also, I'm not God."

Casca and the veterans' return journey went very smoothly.

Shortly after being transported to the Mechanic Guild's encampment near the Imperial Prince, he was swiftly greeted by the flagship of the Great Sage Caul himself.

Casca's journey was so swift that even Caul's own ship hadn't gone far.

"well."

Although his face had been replaced with mechanical parts, one could still see the joy and excitement on his face through these steel creations.

“I have received the original design. As expected of the modification plan designed by the great apothecary Melousin, I, Belisarius Caul, am amazed.”

"I will go and study the standardized surgical procedures of the original casting."

"If all goes well, the entire Space Marine Chapters of the Imperium of Man will soon be completely transformed!"

"In that case, wouldn't we, the Sons of the Phoenix, be able to get ahead of others?"

"Of course, of course. Ancient hero."

"If your Phoenix Sons wish to be among the first Prototype Space Marines, I will make preparations for you."

Kaul happily agreed.

Kasgar planned to take this opportunity to properly reorganize the warband.

The entire Phoenix Sage is currently awaiting the Primforging of the entire chapter—a total of one thousand Phoenix Sage recruits will undergo a faster Primforging procedure before the Space Marines' conversion is completed.

You can become a Proto-Forged Space Marine in one step.

Although Caul was indeed a great sage of the Mechanicus, in terms of bio-genetic technology, Melusin's design was superior.

After Merusin's improvements, the current Protocasting procedure is not only faster than the decades-long modifications of the past, but the newly added organ, the "Merusin Furnace," also allows Space Marines to unleash extremely powerful combat capabilities when they are near death—even more powerful than Belisarius's furnace design.

Even the surgeries were standardized—new recruits who hadn't finished their remaining modifications could go directly to the Protocasting platform and complete the Protocasting process in one step, becoming Protocast Space Marines in one go.

Nowadays, newcomers are immediately put to the role of a caster, without ever experiencing hardship.

As for the veterans, after seeing the new recruit Yuan Zhu's strength increase and his height increase by half a head compared to ordinary people, they were impressed.
I simply couldn't stand it and joined immediately.

Everything else can be tolerated, but the Space Marine's height must be addressed!
During this stopover, the Phoenix Force gained a significant boost in strength.

The thousand new recruits from Kaul have all been equipped, and the upgrades for the veteran recruits have also been completed during this period.

Normally, such a major move would have attracted the attention of the court.

However, because the Crown Prince was so reassuring, the Court of Justice clearly did not pay much attention to the Crown Prince's sphere of influence.

Furthermore, the Imperial Prince's warband leader concealed the news of Kasgar's return according to the agreement, so the Inquisition was unaware of the hero Kasgar's return.

They simply believed that the missing Phoenix Child had returned to the Empire, and the Inquisitor had no time to concern himself with the question of who his Chapter Master was.

Even though the emperor's son has fallen from grace, he can still bring peace of mind.

"However, although our original cast recruits were able to successfully complete the surgery, the problem lies in the armor—how can we supply so many of our original cast troops with power armor without being detected?"

Original Forging was not just a simple human body adjustment; it also involved the supply of corresponding armor, weapons, and equipment—but unfortunately, the current Phoenix Sage has nothing.

Even Caul himself had just received the data from the original Castor modification, and the design of the new power armor was still in the sketch stage.
"Wouldn't all of our current power armors need fine-tuning to achieve the original effect?"

The prepared power armor needs to be modified again before it can be used.

How could I have forgotten about that?

Looking at the Phoenix Son recruit who had suddenly grown a head taller, Kasgar slapped his forehead in frustration.

".commander."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the shouts, Kaska hesitated and looked at the other person.

Oh, that's right.

Kaska had a good impression of Iron Warrior, who had been teaming up with Tytus in the arena.

His strength is considerable; if Kasga's estimate is correct, he is probably at the level of a company commander in a newly formed regiment.

After successfully escaping Comoros, he accepted an invitation from Casgar to join the Phoenix Chapter.

According to him, this place is ten times, or even nine times, better than Iron Warriors.

He refused to return to Peturabo's steel empire no matter what.

It's unknown what kind of treatment he received from the Iron Lord.

Most importantly, his mechanical manufacturing skills are also quite good, making him a technical sergeant that the entire battle group is currently lacking.

In the field of mechanics, they are indeed extremely rare talents among the Phoenix Sons.
What are your thoughts?

"Here."

Following the star map pointed to by the other party and opening it, a forging world of a mechanical heresy (not the Dark Mechanicus, but a Mechanicus that does not belong to the human empire) appeared before Casgar's eyes.

"This is the steel forging factory that our steel empire is proud of."

Hero Kasgar, this way.

The production pipelines here have been modified and improved by Primarch Peturabo himself. As long as one has the blueprints for the Primarch armor, this forging world can produce finished products using its stored minerals.

It is said that this incredible computing power and design originated from the existence of powerful ancient mechanical artifacts that were once discovered on one of the planets.
If we can figure out how to "borrow" the entire production capacity of the Forge World, producing a warband-sized amount of Prototype armor will not be a problem at all.

"Petulaboma"

A sinister smile appeared on Casca's face.
