Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

"You're overpraised. In fact, I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for the emergency change of gear before the battle, we wouldn't have been able to survive. I asked Lord Guilliman, and he said that all this was your masterpiece."

Orfeo thanked him with a smile. Since the end of the Battle of Amatra, he was taken back to the home planet of the Ultramarines for treatment and recuperation. Only recently did he recover with the help of pharmacists and technical priests.

Hearing that the creator of the Adamantite Battle Armor and the Strong Interaction Force Battle Armor had returned to Macragge, he came specially to thank him in person.

"After this period of production, more than 10% of the Space Marines of the Ultramarines Legion have changed their equipment. I believe that soon all the Astartes will be able to wear the armor you designed."

Roxi and Orfeo left first through a secret passage that led directly to the inner area of ​​the Primarch's palace. Orfeo came not only to express his gratitude, but also to accept someone's request.

After passing through a historic courtyard garden, Roche arrived at his destination under the guidance of Orfeo.

"Ms. Euden, long time no see." The mysterious person who invited Roche here was Guilliman's adoptive mother, Tarasa Euden, the Lord of Palace Affairs.

Seeing Lady Euton's face even paler than last time, Roche immediately realized that she might have known about what Guilliman had done on the battlefield.

"I have to thank you. Hill told me about Roboute's reckless advance on the battlefield. His rebellious demon brother almost injured or even killed him."

Ms. Euden's words were low, filled with fear and sorrow about what might happen.

"You came to my aid at the last moment and thwarted Angron and Lorgar's deadly plan. Words cannot express my gratitude, sir."

Roxi was a little overwhelmed: "Guilliman is a natural commander. He can escape from the battlefield even without me. No need to thank me."

"Yes, but what if that happens? Connor and I taught him that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, but he easily loses his mind when he is on the battlefield, and his sons can't control him."

Euden sighed, full of complaints about his son's disobedience as he grew up, and his dissatisfaction with the Ultramarines' inability to persuade Guilliman.

Orfeo was fidgeting a little, just as horrified by Guilliman's distress, even more so than when he himself was facing Angron.

Even if he died, there were too many heroes among the Ultramarines who could take his place, but what about the Primarch? Who else could replace him?

"He is the Lord of Five Hundred Worlds and the only loyal Primarch at present. The comfort of the entire Far Eastern Frontier rests on his shoulders. How can he be so reckless and not cherish himself?"

"If I were there, I would persuade him." Luo Xi had no choice but to agree.

After getting Luo Xi's promise, Ms. Yuton's face immediately looked much better.

"You come from before the dark night. Roboute is unwilling to listen to me, but he will seriously consider your persuasion. Fortunately, we still have someone who can persuade him."

Only a few people knew Roshi's identity, and Tarasha Yutun was naturally one of them.

The young-looking man in front of him might actually be the oldest human in the entire Eastern Galaxy.

"In fact, in addition to my request, I have something else to discuss with you."

Lady Euton invited Rosie to sit in a reception room in the inner court. Orfeo brought tea and stood beside her like a statue.

Roche noticed that Regent Orfeo seemed to have a good relationship with Lady Euden, while Auguston, the last Ultramarines he saw, had an average relationship with his adoptive mother.

It seems that there are different attitudes towards mortals among the Ultramarines, he thought.

"The situation is turbulent, and we must do something: Roboute is the leader of the Five Hundred Worlds, the Lord of the Thirteenth Legion, and may also be the last loyal heir of the Emperor of Mankind. With the Destruction Storm isolating the eastern part of the galaxy, we have no idea what is happening on Terra, or what is happening to the Emperor—"

"So in this case, whether Roboute agrees or not, whether he is willing or not, he has essentially become the regent of the empire. He will rule the people of the Far Eastern Frontier on behalf of the Emperor."

"Orfeo and I both believe that Roboute should use a more radical approach to change the current situation. The people of the Five Hundred Worlds need a new totem to gather strength, a new leader who can be seen and touched. He needs to separate himself from the commander and warrior identities, and he should become the successor of the Emperor."

Ms. Yuton explained the pros and cons, and finally Luo Xi understood.

Chapter 101: Mechanicus: You are loyal

Ms. Yuton's invitation this time was to test Luo Xi's opinion.

"So, you want Guilliman to establish a political entity called the Second Empire and use this totem to better unite the people of the Five Hundred Worlds?"

As the Lord of Five Hundred Worlds, he is no longer able to control the power of so many empires. If he wants to mobilize the power better, he can only go further.

As he said this, Roxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Lady Euden is worthy of being Guilliman's adoptive mother, the two of them have very similar ideas, and Lady Euden's ideas are even more radical than the Primarch's.

Guilliman only had a general idea, but Lady Euden had already implemented it to the point where it could be put forward immediately.

While the Primarch was still wondering whether his actions would constitute treason in some sense, Lady Euden was already planning to fast-forward her adopted son into the role of Second Emperor.

Ms. Euton has always represented the native forces of the Five Hundred Worlds, led by Macragge. Many of these deep-rooted forces have continued from the Age of Strife to the present day.

Compared to the Imperial forces that entered the scene after the Emperor's arrival, their political views have always been conservative, and they have always been walking on the tightrope between gaining benefits from the Empire and maintaining their own independence.

Now Roxi's eyes were opened. It turned out that these conservatives meant that the radicals led by Guilliman were too conservative.

He tasted the meaning behind Ms. Euton's words. She actually did not have much loyalty to the almighty Human Emperor. She cared more about her son and the interests of the five hundred worlds.

In his eyes, Guilliman was first his son, then the King of Ultramar, and finally the Primarch of the Imperium.

"Excuse me, ma'am, but Guilliman will certainly be very angry. You are trying to push him down a path that is not much different from that of the Wolf God."

"No matter how just your reasons are, at a time when the situation in the human throne world is unclear, such behavior is not much different from treason."

Luo Xi looked into Ms. Yuton's eyes. Time had left more fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but it did not diminish her intellectual and noble temperament.

Lady Euton's eyes showed no evasion or hesitation. She continued, "No matter what, Guilliman is the monarch of the Five Hundred Worlds. He must naturally consider the interests of the Five Hundred Worlds first. He can go to the throne world to help, but he cannot harm the interests of the Five Hundred Worlds."

"It won't be too late to judge the merits and demerits before the Emperor after this rebellion is over."

"Is that what you mean, Orfeo?" Roche turned her head and looked at Orfeo Cassandra.

Although this commander who won the Battle of Amatra is not one of the Four Heroes, his current prestige is even higher than that of the First Chapter Master Marius Gage, and he has a great influence among the Ultramarines.

The somewhat aged warrior nodded and said, "I am a warrior of the Emperor and the Primarch. Lord Guilliman is the Thirteenth Son of the Emperor. He must assume his responsibilities in the event that the Emperor may not be around."

"He should become regent of the empire, ruling over all remaining loyalists."

Luo Xi rubbed his temples with a headache. In the vast five hundred worlds, the monarch of Ultramar was actually the one with the lowest loyalty to Ultramar.

No wonder Guilliman was always regarded as ambitious by his brothers.

His relatives, descendants, subjects and vassals, everyone hopes that he can go one step further and better safeguard the interests of the Five Hundred Worlds.

"But what's the point of you telling me this? I admit that the Primarch will seriously consider my suggestions, but it will definitely not include my suggestion that he establish a second empire to better deal with the rebels."

Roche didn't understand why they didn't go directly to Guilliman and explain the pros and cons. What was the point of talking to him for so long?

Luo Xi's expression and movements were all under Ms. Yuton's sight. She was testing her attitude towards the empire, and now she got a satisfactory answer.

Roche did not have much identification with the Human Emperor, so he would not object to Guilliman making the Five Hundred Worlds into a more independent political entity.

Not opposing is essentially a form of tacit support.

Even Roshi himself did not realize that he had actually become a part of Macragge's political power.

The technological creations from Mustafar are constantly improving the technological strength of the Five Hundred Worlds. Even the forging director of the Mechanicus has devoted himself to the battle planet Amatra. He has his own influence.

The battle planet renamed Amaterra is now undergoing further transformation. The Mechanicus of Ultramar have decided to invest their forces, and they simply cannot refuse those unknown technologies.

This formidable war fortress ascended to the throne on the remains of the Blessed Lady, and now many people want to know its origins.

That's enough. This matter cannot be carried out overnight. Guilliman needs time to think about it.

When those troublesome things forced him to cross the bottom line of his heart, everything fell into place.

Even if he is the monarch of the Five Hundred Worlds, he does not have much choice when faced with the wishes of everyone.

After finishing the conversation with Ms. Euton, Luo Xi immediately left Macragge and returned to Mustafar's production base on the Red Alert.

He had a rare bitter look on his face. This was clearly the Five Hundred Worlds' own business, so how could it have anything to do with him?

Time passed quickly, and the political turmoil on Macragge soon subsided.

But Rohi knew very well that the sudden calm in the sea was more likely a preparation for a tsunami.

The current situation can still maintain a balance temporarily, but once the entire Five Hundred Worlds are pushing Guilliman forward, even if he is the Lord of Ultramar, he will not be able to stop this chariot.

In the past two years, Luo Xi has spent most of his time in Mustafa.

This place has long become the most important production base in the Macragge galaxy, and nearly 95% of the equipment and machinery are manufactured by Mustafar.

Thanks to the huge usage sample, Roche was able to collect enough data from the huge number of mortal auxiliary forces and space marines. After these data were processed by the intelligent computer, Mustafar's equipment was constantly iterating and upgrading.

The equipment that was originally produced for emergency purposes has long been outdated. The power armor produced on Mustafar has a serial number that is separate from the mainstream Mark series of the Empire. The soldiers of the Thirteenth Legion generally call it the Star-type power armor.

In two years, the Star-type power armor has been upgraded to the fourth generation, and variant models have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, thanks to the joint efforts of Macragge's engineers and the Mechanicus's technical priests.

Yes, there is also a temple of the Mechanicus on Mustafar, a planet full of heretical technology.

When Guilliman introduced the forge director named Barker Dylan to Roche, he even suspected that the Primarch had been overwhelmed by the busy official duties of more than 22 hours a day.

What would happen if you bring a technical priest who believes in the God of All Machines and has risen to the highest position in the Mechanicum below the Forge General to a planet full of forbidden technology, abomination intelligence is widely used, and the Scarlet Accords of Mars are used as butt tissue?

Luo Xi even suspected that the moment he landed, he would send a series of red warnings to the Mechanicus, asking them to bring mechanical arks to destroy the planet.

But his expectation did not come true. This casting director, who looked like a nondescript person, was unexpectedly - kind.

Luo Xi could only be described as kind. It seemed that all the hundreds of sensors on Father Dylan's body were damaged. He turned a blind eye to the automatic robots running everywhere and the intelligent computers that coordinated their operations. Instead, he brought a lot of research data from the Mechanicus on power armor and war vehicles.

The level of detail of the information even made him wonder whether this strange oil man had moved his forging world in the Far East star field here.

"Lord Guilliman introduced you to me. He said you were a staunch Imperial loyalist." Sage Dylan said in a smiling tone.

His voice is transmitted by electronic devices, and his physical vocal cords have long been iterated and updated during the transformation.

"After my personal inspection, it is true that you are very loyal."

As soon as they met, the leading figure of the Mechanicus in the Far East gave Roche a "loyalty" certification, the meaning of which is also thought-provoking.

Only then did Luo Xi realize how flexible the moral bottom line of these engine oil guys was.

Technology that is no longer under your control is heretical technology, but what is within your reach?

That is of course the treasure of Om Messiah.

He also readily accepted the offer, and the Mechanicus then offered him permission to allow its priests to be stationed on Mustafar.

The Forge Master and his fellow Tech-Priests were free to study the heretical technology on Mustafar to their heart's content; for them, this was like entering the Temple of Om Messiah before he had even summoned them.

Chapter 102 Anti-Psychic Research

With the cooperation of many parties, the jointly developed Star-type power armor not only adopts a modular design, but is also more diverse than the previous old version.

It can be appropriately adjusted according to a variety of tactical environments, enabling it to meet the vast majority of battlefield environments.

According to the feedback from the battlefield data, these new types of power armor are roughly divided into the most balanced Star Type I, the Star Type II that emphasizes defense and heavy firepower, the Star Type III that emphasizes flexibility and penetration, and the Star Type IV that is equipped with an additional power backpack and has the ability to respond quickly within the atmosphere.
