Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

According to the data sent back by the advance probe, they have discovered more than twenty-three alien races in the remote and desolate eastern part of the galaxy, but most of the alien races have not even left their home planet.

Among these planets where life has been discovered, one planet stands out in particular.

Because this is a planet that is suspected to have advanced intelligent life, and it is also a habitable planet with a natural environment that reaches the level of a garden world.

The probe discovered oceans and a large amount of green plants, which undoubtedly have most of the conditions required for life.

Roxi decided to wait until Guilliman finished his work and then lead the team to the planet to check out the situation.

"Would you rather Ruth came?" Ryan focused on this question. He raised his eyebrows slightly and a few wrinkles appeared between his eyebrows.

"Of course not. I certainly hope it's you who comes. That barbarian Russ will only make things worse. He will cause havoc in my Macragge.

You are different. You are rational and wise. Before Horus chose to betray, you and Horus were both people I am ashamed of. "

"I actually always thought you were more suitable for the position of Warmaster."

Guilliman's words of praise completely hit Lion's soft spot. The ice on his face instantly melted into spring water, and the Lion King revealed a sincere smile.

"Robot, I find you have a very good taste."

"I feel sorry for Horus. He could have continued to perform the valuable duties given to him by the Emperor and continued to work hard for humanity, but he chose the most shameless betrayal. He failed to live up to the honor of being the Warmaster."

He turned the topic to Roche beside Roboute and continued, "Where is your mortal advisor? Why do you bring him with you when you meet me?"

There was a natural arrogance and confusion in the lion's tone. In such an occasion, what qualifications did a mortal have to join in?

But since Roboute did this, it proves that the other party is indeed worthy of him, and no Primarch would be a fool.

Guilliman, however, pointed out the error in his brother's words.

"My brother, Luo Xi is indeed my mortal advisor, but he is more of an ally of mine. You may not know where he came from." Roboute's solemn tone made Ryan change his attitude.

"I will not hide anything from you. Luo Xi is a survivor of the Golden Age. He is also an inheritor of human civilization. He came to the Five Hundred Worlds by chance. We share the same ideals and goals."

"Over the past few years, I have always been in the open, and he has been in the dark. Together, we defeated the traitor Lorgar and the Shadow Crusade launched by Angron, and protected the fire of mankind in the Ultramarine. Please treat him the same way you treat me."

Luo Xi felt touched that his contributions and efforts were remembered, which meant they were not in vain.

"Nice to meet you."

After listening to Guilliman's introduction, Lion stopped, held the sword with his left hand, crossed his chest with his right hand, and nodded slightly in salute.

"I've heard of your great name for a long time." Luo Xi responded quickly. He didn't expect that this seemingly inhuman lion king would pay tribute to him.

Everyone has entered the magnificent Hera Castle. Under the guidance of Guilliman, a room in the hall on the first floor appears before them.

"It's here. I rarely come here because the time is not right."

The Ever-Victorious Army stationed here opened the heavy door for the Primarch, and an unusually large and bright room revealed its presence.

"The time is not right yet?" Ryan was a little confused, and then he saw the furnishings in the room.

The commander of the Ever-Victorious Army, Glod, was ordered to wait outside the door, and Ryan also ordered Hou Guin and Red Ross to retreat.

Guilliman gave him a look and Roche followed him in.

The Ever-Victorious Army at the door closed the door again, leaving only the projections of Guilliman, Lion and Roche in the room.

The lion placed his palm on the back of a huge chair, on which was engraved the symbol [Ⅰ].

Lion glanced at his brother, "I have never doubted your abilities. This castle, Macragge, and the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar astound me."

"We were all born for this, Lion," said Guilliman.

"Among us, only Rogal Dorn and you have this ability. You are both calm and rational, and act based on objective data rather than feelings and intuition. Therefore, only the two of you have your own interstellar empire."

"But what surprises me most, Roboute, is that you can still be so emotional. You don't think logically, but rely on your inner thoughts."

Ryan was referring to the long table in the room that was carved from a complete boulder. The afternoon sun shone through the window lattice onto the milky white marble tabletop, and the perfect carving marks on it could be clearly seen.

Twenty-one chairs were neatly arranged on the outer edge of the table. They were all tailor-made for the Primarch's body. The chairs marked [XV] and [XVIII] were even one size larger.

That was for Magnus and Vulkan, two Primarchs who were exceptionally large among their brothers.

The backrest of each chair was covered with the flag of the corresponding legion, and the first chair was draped with the flag of Terra. The second and eleventh chairs were covered with undyed white cloth.

"So you have reserved a seat for all your brothers in your Hera Castle? Roboute," Ryan said, "It is this thing that really touched me, not your fancy war weapons."

"It means you have a soul, a feeling soul, not an absolutely rational, contemplative computer."

The lion pointed at Roxi again.

"You told me that he was a remnant of the Golden Age. I observed carefully and found that people in the Golden Age were just like us. We have the same soul."

Chapter 191 Each other's little secrets

Before this, Roche had never known that Guilliman had such a room.

He reserved seats for all the brothers, even the two brothers who could not be mentioned and the brothers who had rebelled.

This is Roboute's secret base, and he is the only one who knows of its existence.

Not only Lion, when Roche saw those neatly arranged chairs, he also deeply felt the humanity contained in Guilliman's character. He was not only the wise and brave Primarch, but also a living person with brotherhood.

Even among mortals there were many cases of brothers fighting against each other and killing each other, but Guilliman did better than most of them.

"You believe that there will be a day when all of us, including father, can sit at this table on an equal footing and discuss the affairs of the empire together. You built this room for that day." Ryan sighed. This is almost impossible.

"Yes, I believe it." The Primarch's words did not waver in the slightest, he still firmly believed it.

The lion pointed to the positions of Horus, Magnus, Perturabo and others who had betrayed their brothers, and he asked Guilliman what he thought of those traitors.

"They are unforgivable, but their place will not be erased, just as their presence will not be erased in the empire, even if it is shame and pain we still need to remember."

"We will preserve all traces, and let future generations judge the merits and demerits. The noble deeds of the loyal will be remembered, and the despicable deeds of the betrayers will be nailed to the pillar of shame by the world."

Guilliman suddenly sighed, "Now that you and I have come together, I wonder when I will be able to see the other brothers again."

This was a completely subconscious sigh, but as the words came out, Guilliman's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He looked at Luo Xi with a guilty conscience, and the latter understood what he meant.

Technically, he had indeed met the other brother before Ryan arrived.

The Lord of Fire Dragons fell from the atmosphere, with all his flesh and blood burned to charcoal.

This secret information remains sealed, and Guilliman is not yet ready to make it public.

The death of a Primarch is a huge matter no matter what. His relationship with the Lion has just warmed up a little, and Guilliman doesn't want to make this Caliban big cat angry again.

The Lion King is a classic example of someone who responds to soft words rather than hard ones. He just had to spend a lot of time and effort to appease Ryan before he could calm this Caliban man down.

But when Guilliman turned his head and avoided Lion's gaze, he didn't notice that the serious and dull Lion King also turned his eyes away with a guilty look.

He pretended to look at the distant mountains through the glass window under the window frame, but in fact he was hiding his embarrassment.

The Great Lion chose to keep some things secret for the time being, for Guilliman's own good, and he believed that it was nothing, and that he could deal with the damned monster on the Indomitable Truth.

As long as Konrad was captured before Guilliman knew, no one would know the secret of the Dark Angels.

Emperor, the entire Macragge is indeed not just populated by two Primarchs, him and Guilliman. The Midnight Haunter is also imprisoned on his flagship, the Indomitable Truth.

In response, Lion decided to block the news and never let Guilliman know that a rebellious Primarch was still at large on his flagship.

Was he going to tell Guilliman that his brother couldn't take down Konrad Curze on his own flagship, with the help of twenty thousand Dark Angels? That damned midnight monster.

The pride of a lion must not be trampled upon, especially by someone as malicious as Guilliman.

No one knew whether this damned Macragge man would enthusiastically and innocently offer to help capture Curze. Lion dared to swear that if he said that Konrad Curze was here, Guilliman would immediately turn against him.

If the wandering soul in the middle of the night starts to cause trouble, such as dropping the four hundred drop pods from the Indomitable Truth, or directly controlling the weapons room to release the extermination order weapons...

The more Ryan thought about it, the more he felt that this was not impossible.

His beastly instincts, honed in the jungles of Caliban, were warning him that something unpleasant was about to happen.

Thinking of this, the Lion didn't want to have any more roundabout verbal exchanges with Guilliman. He wanted to end the conversation as quickly as possible and return to his flagship to resolve the trouble.

Guilliman detected a flash of impatience in his brother, which was unusual.

"Lion, I know you don't trust me. Since you arrived, you have suspected that I would commit the same ugly act as Horus. Do you think I am also on the path of betrayal?"

The Lion was already seated in the chair Guilliman had prepared for him, his hands spread out on the table, his eyes fixed on his brother.

It's like a strict examiner is conducting an interview.

"I know some of your little secrets, Roboute, and you haven't hidden them very well. You want to build a second empire, and what's happening in the entire galaxy proves this."

"If the Emperor and Malcador wanted to, they could psychically tell what you were doing here."

The Lord of Macragge responded equally without showing any weakness.

"No, I'm just trying to keep a flame alive, you see, I have no interest in starting a new empire.

Because the 500 worlds of Ultramar are my kingdom, and what I do is only to continue the future of mankind if Terra has already fallen to Horus's army. "

What Guilliman said was true, and Lion could not rule out this possibility, which made him even more anxious.

On the one hand, there is the potential threat of the Night Haunter, and on the other hand, he cannot cross the storm to support Terra, the throne world of mankind.

His loyalty was suffering.

"I want to trust you, Guilliman, but how can I trust you?" The lion's eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing through all disguises and defenses.

Roboute said: "Lion, you know, if I had the intention of rebellion, I would have ascended the throne when the Warp Storm monopolized everything. But I don't want to be the emperor. I just want to protect my territory and my people, and protect the last spark of mankind so that it will not be cut off."

The lion king was already moved, even Luo Xi could see it.

The mortal advisor added at the right time: "Lord Lion, you stand on high and observe Guilliman's loyalty, but what about you?

I have learned about you. You are full of secrets. No one can see through your thoughts and intentions. How can you prove your loyalty? "

Luo Xi's words made the Lion King's face instantly gloomy, and a look of anger flashed across his face.

"Admit it, great Lion El'Jonson, we are now forced to gather together on Macragge as traitors are about to extinguish the light of Terra.

Speak out all your heart, break apart your suspicions and doubts, we don't have the time and energy to play games again and again." Luo Xi has walked in front of the lion king.

Guilliman felt greatly relieved by the words of his mortal advisor, as if he had eaten a bucket of ice on a hot summer day.

But he was also afraid of completely angering this Caliban cat, so he immediately added:
