Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

If we only rely on the defense of the solar system, not to mention the terrible consequences this epic war will have on the human solar system, the extremely low tolerance rate alone is unacceptable to everyone.

In the past, when the loyal legions had not yet assembled, they could only rely on the strategic approach of trading space for time to delay the enemy's advance.

But now, Ryan believes that the gap between the two sides' war power is no longer obvious.

"Yes, you are telling the truth." Dorn was not angry at all for Ryan's denial of his strategic plan. He was as calm as ever. In fact, he preferred this straightforward way of communication.

"But Ryan, have you ever considered the consequences of defeat?" Dorn asked in return, "Taking the initiative will indeed expand our strategic space, but do you know that once we are defeated, the enemy will immediately pursue us, and the hard-earned reinforcements from the Extreme Star Region will also be gone."

Luo Xi heard some of the tricks. Ryan hoped to seize the enemy's opening period to take the initiative to attack, use superior military strength, replace defense with offense, and directly defeat the traitors.

Rogal Dorn, on the other hand, prefers to look at things from the perspective of extreme pessimism and adversity. What he thinks about is how to defend Terra and the Emperor in the most dangerous situation.

The two Primarchs, each holding a different opinion, confronted each other, and Prime Minister Malcador acquiesced to their dispute.

In addition to assigning tasks among the primarchs, the second most important point of this meeting is to get them to reach a consensus.

If we don't reach a consensus and resolve all internal conflicts during meetings, are we going to have to wait until wartime to start arguing?

If one incompetent general is the cause of the death of thousands of soldiers, and if an army has multiple generals and multiple brains, the consequences will also be dire.

Each Primarch is a unique general and king. They are all descendants of the Lord of Mankind and are equal in status.

Since we are all equal, why should we obey one person's orders?

Even with the Emperor's order, not all Primarchs would be completely convinced of him, just like when Horus was promoted to the position of Warmaster and had the power to control other Primarchs, not all Primarchs would fully give Horus face.

A typical example is Lion's Dark Angels, who are no match for Horus.

"Then let's raise our hands and vote." said the seal holder.

Rogal Dorn held the strategic conservatism, while Lion Johnson held the proactive offensive. All the remaining Primarchs had to choose a side according to their own wishes.

If Lion's Jonson did not receive as much support as Dorn, then despite the Emperor's orders, the Sigillite would have to reconsider whether an unpopular Primarch was capable of commanding the war.

This is the first test for Lion. Can he defeat his Stone brothers and gain the support of other Primarchs?

The lion looked around, waiting expectantly for his brothers' response.

Chagatai Khan did not hesitate too much. The Fifth Legion was not good at defensive battles. Their predecessor, the Star Hunters, had always been scouts and guerrilla forces in the Great Crusade. It would be too difficult for the White Scars to trap them in Terra and fight a fierce battle with the enemy.

"I support Ryan." Khan was the first to express his opinion.

The Lion King smiled. His dear brother Chogoris still supported him as always, just like the close relationship between them.

Ryan always believed that he had a good relationship with Chagatai. Although the other party acted closer to Horus, it was definitely a pretense.

Caliban is very confident in his interpersonal skills and is very popular among his brothers.

Leman Russ thought longer, and finally he made his choice.

"The best defense is a good offense, I agree with Ryan."

The Wolf King glanced at the Khan next to him. His face had a slightly ferocious expression, and his huge canine teeth were almost bared. Leman Russ was very angry at his brother for abandoning him in the Araxes Nebula.

He still hasn't forgotten the words Khan said when he had to choose between him and the Alpha Legion.

The Khan responded to Leman Russ with the Fenris slang "See you in the winter", which in Fenrisian culture is almost equivalent to saying goodbye to the dead.

The people of Fenris never knew whether they could survive the next cold winter and meet again in the brief spring.

But despite this, Leman Russ made the same choice as Chagatai and supported Llane.

Jagatai Khan and Leman Russ made their choice, and this meeting had already produced the answer, with three of the five Primarchs preferring to take the initiative.

The Lion turned his gaze to the face of Sanguinius, hoping to gain the support of his angelic brother, just as he had in Macragge.

However, a trace of worry flashed across the Archangel's face, and he actually preferred Dorn.

"I prefer Dorn's choice, brothers. The longer this war drags on, the greater the advantage we will have. The forces accumulated by the traitors cannot be effectively replenished, and the legion with the largest number of legions, the Ultramarines, are launching an attack from behind the traitors."

"Guilliman is still behind, and he is still rushing to help."

"If we hold on to Terra and wait to reunite with Guilliman, our overall casualties will be much lower."

Sanguinius voted for Dorn, although this could not change the outcome of Llane's victory.

Realizing that more brothers supported Ryan, Dorn did not hesitate and said that he would completely obey Ryan's command.

Donne is Donne, and although he may disagree with everyone, once a decision is made, he can completely obey the result from the bottom of his heart.

As Lion completely took control of the command, the meeting between the Primarchs came to an end.

Next, Ryan will completely reorganize the defense forces within the solar system, select several elite divisions to attack the solar system, and engage in combat with the enemy outside the solar system.

The primarchs left one after another, and Luo Xi was also planning to leave, but at this moment, the seal holder, who had been silent all the time, suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

"Luo Xi, you stay."

Chapter 355 The Emperor Wants to See You (Please Subscribe)

Rohitton was a little surprised when he was stopped by the Sigillite. In the previous meeting of the Primarchs, he was actually just a listener. The real participants were the five Primarchs and the Sigillite Malcador.

After all, the Solar System is not Macragge. He is the Vice-Governor of the Second Empire, not the Vice-Governor of the Human Empire.

Here, he is just a mortal with a somewhat special status. Dorn and others treat him differently for the sake of Llane and Sanguinius.

What's more, since arriving in the solar system, Roche, Ryan and Sanguinius have reached a tacit understanding.

There has never been a Second Empire, nor any Lord Protector, Prince Regent, or Viceroy.

If Rogal Dorn, Jaghatai Khan and Leman Russ knew what the three Primarchs of the Ultima Segmentum had done, I'm afraid even greater conflicts would immediately break out among the Primarchs.

At that time, will we argue with them for the sake of the greater good, for the sake of preserving fire for mankind?

At that time, we will have to see whether Leman Russ's knife is sharp.

The mere question of future strategic direction had caused the Primarchs to take sides and express their opinions, and if it came to issues of stance and loyalty towards the [Second Empire], I'm afraid everyone would immediately skip the verbal criticism and go straight to a real-life brawl.

Even in the eyes of Dorn and the other two, Llane and the others might be equated with Horus.

The previous Warmaster just betrayed the Emperor, and you, the Commander of the Empire, are found to have a tainted past before you even take office?

Loyalty that is not absolute is absolutely disloyalty, and this is especially important in today's chaotic war times.

What is more important than ability is loyalty and stance.

All the Primarchs except Dorn left the table. Sanguinius looked at Roche, who was left behind, with some surprise. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked thoughtful.

The Space Marines also followed their Gene-Father away, and even Roshi's personal guard Sharokin was ordered to wait outside.

Only Malcador, Rogal Dorn and Roche were left in the room.

Dorn stood like a silent wall, waiting for Malcador to speak.

"Don't be nervous, Luo Xi." The seal holder lifted his hood, revealing his neat long silver hair.

There were a few wrinkles on his face, but they could not hide his piercing eyes.

The look in the seal bearer's eyes truly conveys power in the literal sense, and there is a faint flow of psychic energy between their gazes, which makes people feel awe.

"I know you, I've always known you." Malcador said meaningfully.

"I know everything about Macragge, about Isstvan, and about the past beyond that."

These words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky. Luo Xi's heart suddenly felt like it was being pinched by a big hand, and his breathing became rapid.

"Seal Master, what do you mean?" Luo Xi was puzzled. He had never seen Malcador and had never dealt with him before. How could the other party say something like "I know you"?

"Regarding the [Future Reinforcement Plan], there should be no need for me to repeat it to you." The Seal Holder laughed, and his expression suddenly became very interesting when he looked at Luo Xi.

"Are you also an immortal? A seal bearer?" Luo Xi asked. This was the only answer he could think of.

This Malcador is probably a being that survived from the distant past.

"Yes, I am an immortal." The Sigillite nodded and said, "But I am not as old as you. I was born 6,700 years ago, when mankind had already entered the Dark Age of Technology."

Any information about the Seal Bearer is strictly confidential. Even Luo Xi has no way to know more detailed information about him, only some.

In the official records of the Empire, there is only some crude information that Malcador is the Emperor's close comrade-in-arms and serves as the Imperial Seal.

Judging from the data on paper, Roxi is even 20,000 years older than Malcador. After all, he is a human being from the Earth Age, while when this Sigillite was born, humans had already entered the Dark Age of Technology.

"Let's talk slowly. I have been looking forward to this private meeting for a long time."

"It took you longer to arrive in Terra than we expected, but fortunately you were not late."

Malcador looked like a scholar with a refined temperament, not much different from the thousands of imperial officials. In fact, compared to them, the prime minister looked thinner and more decrepit.

"Master Seal Bearer..." Luo Xi was shocked by the attitude shown by Malcador. Although theoretically he was much older than Malcador, their life experiences were completely different.

Luo Xi believes that he is no different from other ordinary humans, except that he has lived longer.

And what about this Imperial Chancellor? According to some extremely obscure lost information from the early days of the Empire, Malcador was one of the founders of the Human Empire. Even when the Emperor was just a Terran warlord, it was Malcador who persuaded him to take on the great responsibility of "Lord of Mankind".

Malcador assisted the Emperor of Mankind in transforming the Terran warlord into the Lord of Mankind, completing the great cause of unification and pushing the dream of human rejuvenation forward.

Although they are both immortals, the gap between them is truly embarrassing.

"Bram al-Khadur, you may call me that," Malcador introduced himself, revealing his real name.

It is impossible that this seal holder has only one name in his 6,700 years of life.

And the name he has revealed now undoubtedly represents his essence better than "Malcador".

Malcador's statement undoubtedly made Roxi feel closer to him. It seemed that the rumored imperial regent was more humble than he had imagined and was not difficult to deal with.

"It's not complicated to explain how I know you." Malcador said as they walked. "We can talk on the way. You will get answers to many of your questions."

He seemed to be leading Roche towards a room on the Phalanx, while the Primarch of the Imperial Fists followed silently behind.

Malcador led Roche into a dark corridor, dimly illuminated only by the flaming Imperial double-headed eagle scepter in his hand.

Luo Xi didn't know how far he had walked, but when he walked out of a door at the end, he was surprised to find that he seemed to have arrived at some unknown place.

This is not the Phalanx. Although that relic ship has an advanced gravity-generating system, man-made things are subtly different from natural stars after all.

And this familiar feeling...seems to come from deep in the blood, and the familiar feeling that has been dormant for thousands of years awakens from the bones.

He suddenly shuddered all over, and a noun emerged in his mind.

Earth, he returned to Earth, which is the hometown of every human being. Even though some humans may have never been here, Earth or Terra is the root.
