Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Titus was talking about the wild wolves, but implicitly he was referring to the think tanks like them.

"I have nothing to hide, Prieto," said Guilliman.

Titus asked in return: "My Lord, how will you explain to the Space Wolves the reappearance of our Librarian psykers? Magnus the Red broke the Nikaean Prohibition, so the Emperor sent his Executioners to destroy Prospero."

"What about us? You also broke the restrictions of Nikea's ban in order to fight the enemy. To be honest, your actions are no different from those of Magnus the Red."

Guilliman took a deep breath. He had to admit that Titus was right.

Two years ago, in order to deal with the Warp Daemons that appeared in the Battle of Calth, and then in order to fight against the Shadow Crusade launched by Lorgar and Angron, he had already violated the Edict of Nikea.

"My lord, Faffnar is tracking down the slightest trace of rebellion. Never underestimate the sense of smell of wild wolves. Sooner or later, they will find out that we are using what they call [Warp Magic]."

Titus did not argue for himself in his words. The will of the Gene-Father was their will. If Guilliman ordered the Librarians to give up their psychic powers again, they would obey the order without hesitation.

What they are worried about is whether those outsiders who still adhere to the original creed will do something dangerous to the Ultramarines.

It's not just the Space Wolves. After the betrayal of Calth, a large number of factions emerged within the Ultramarines that were wary of or even hostile to their brother legions.

They believed that these legionnaires who were summoned and attracted to Macragge were more likely to become air mines that could explode at any time than to be helpful.

Once betrayal happens, everyone fears it happening again.

"I will take your advice into consideration, Prieto. But I am confident that I can tame those wild wolves. They are just stubborn, but not obstinate. I will make them understand how critical the current situation is, and I will keep them by my side."

The Librarian bowed and accepted the order. Guilliman's meaning had been conveyed and he did not need to argue again.

But Lady Euton couldn't help it. She stood in front of Guilliman, blocking the Primarch's way back to the office.

"You are playing with your own safety! Roboute!" Ms. Euton's voice became very sharp, completely abandoning her usual manners and dignity.

"You are everything to us, my lord, but you can't do everything. You are a human being, not a god. Human power has its limits. Why do you always have to do things that are beyond your limits?"

"Everything is under my control, lady." Guilliman grabbed his adoptive mother's arm, and with a slight lift of his arm, Lady Euden was held in the arms of her giant son.

Facing his mother, Guilliman seemed particularly powerless.

Luo Xi watched the argument between mother and son with great joy. He understood that the argument was not a conflict between the two, but that Ms. Yuton was just too worried about her son.

It was hard for him to miss these scenes full of family affection, which is an important part of human nature.

Lady Euton was still chattering, counting on her fingers, listing them one by one: "You are the only living loyal Primarch in front of you. You are the Lord of Ultramar, the King of Five Hundred Worlds, the leader of the Ultramarines, the agent of the Emperor, and the defender of human civilization."

"How long are you going to evade your responsibilities? You have actually become the regent of the empire. You rule over the territory of the Ultramarine on behalf of the emperor. Whether you like it or not, all this is a done deal."

Lady Euton said what Guilliman had been subconsciously unwilling to believe.

"If the Emperor has fallen at this moment, then as his most legitimate successor, you will inherit the title that belongs to the Emperor!"

"Ms. Euton... you are so bold. The truth is sometimes harsh, so harsh that even though we know it exists, we are unwilling to admit it."

Luo Xi couldn't help but sigh. Even the director of the think tank chose to avoid talking about this topic, but Ms. Yuton did not hide it at all and directly raised the issue in full view of everyone.

Lady Euden was still protesting: "Lord Macragge, admit that you are not omnipotent. You cannot take on all the responsibilities. Let go and give up those roles that will bring great risks."

The mortal woman with a powerful aura pointed at the four heroes who were walking from the office and said, "Then let the four heroes command the troops. They are the most outstanding military strategists among the Ultramarines. You are not so strong as to make up for the gap."

She pointed at Roche and said, "Leave the scientific research to Roche and the Mechanicus sages. Why do you worry so much about these things? You should just be a leader and lead everyone. You need to protect yourself, because if you are finished, the empire will be finished."

Guilliman first looked at the director of the think tank with a helpless look, but Titus chose to watch and calmly discuss the problem with his colleagues beside him.

He shifted his gaze to Roche again. Roche's scalp was tingling. Guilliman promised him in his eyes: he would no longer object to Roche making some tasteless ancient jokes on him.

As one of the few people with whom he could communicate on an equal footing, Roche often liked to tell Guilliman some ancient memes and jokes that he didn't understand at all, but the Lord of the Limits was not very interested in these things that he didn't quite understand.

This was the biggest concession Guilliman could think of.

"Madam, let me say a few words on behalf of Roboute." Roche successfully attracted Eudon's attention on behalf of Guilliman, giving the Primarch some space to breathe and escape.

"What Roboute means is that even if he were to create a temporary Imperial political entity in the eastern part of the galaxy, he would never call himself regent, nor would he sit on the throne." Roche pointed out what Guilliman had always insisted on.

Lady Euton spread her hands and said helplessly: "Tell my twisted son, if there are no other loyal primarchs, he has no choice. Is he going to play dumb and try to find a legal basis for his actions?"

"Or, could you take his place and become the second emperor?"

Luo Xi felt his whole body numb. He knew that Yuton's words were just a joke, but any normal person would understand that the location was an extremely torturous fire pit.

The mother and son were clearly right next to each other, but they insisted on communicating through him as a messenger.

He suddenly felt that his trip to Macragge seemed to be a mistake.

Chapter 144 Falling Meteor

The group was arguing as they walked, and Titus cleverly left himself behind and mixed in with his brothers in the Ever-Victorious Army.

As sons of Guilliman, they did not want to get involved in the conflict between their father and his adoptive mother.

Luo Xi had no choice but to be sandwiched between the two men. Although he was just a projection, he still felt a terrifying feeling of sitting on pins and needles.

While the two of them were convincing each other with their own arguments, they also pulled Luo Xi to ask him to choose one side to support.

No matter which side he supports, the other half will express dissatisfaction.

It is very pleasant to watch other people's family ethics dramas, but when you mix it in, it is not as joyful as you imagined.

Guilliman and Lady Euton were both rare masters of debate. Every word and every point they made had a completely self-consistent internal logic. Roche was confused by them and her ears were buzzing.

The siege was not resolved until the arrival of Valentus d'Orlo, one of the four heroes.

Dorlo is one of the four heroes. He is second only to the Primarch and has a higher status than the Chapter Master. Roshi knew that the territory of this hero in front of him was Okruda, an extremely important key world.

Dorlo Yingjie's armor is a little different from that of others. The color of his armor is completely opposite to that of his colleagues, with blue and white alternating, giving people a refreshing feeling.

"Valentus, I believe you must have something important to discuss with me. Come to my office and let's have a good chat." Guilliman enthusiastically held his son's hands and pulled him to his office.

Roche looked at Guilliman who seemed to be fleeing in silence, and said that he was powerless to do anything to Lady Euden.

"Dorlo is a good boy. He must be here on official business. Luo Xi, please, please persuade Roboute. He must always be cautious."

Lady Euton also knew that Guilliman was tired of arguing with her. He was always so stubborn, and he had very firm principles in his heart. Once his principles were touched, the Primarch would no longer be an easy person to talk to.

Loyalty to the Emperor, and hatred of the traitor Horus, is undoubtedly one of the most important principles.

Guilliman feared that he would become like Horus, and that his loyalty would be misunderstood as covert treason.

Ms. Youton will take her leave for now as she also has a lot of heavy work to deal with.

Luo Xi went straight through the door of the Primarch's office and entered the room where important matters were being discussed.

"Just chat casually, don't worry about me." He waved his hand and lay down on the visiting chair beside him.

Although Doro felt strange, he did not say much. The Extreme Warriors already knew that their genetic father was a very good friend of a mortal genius inventor.

"I have good news for you, sir." Dorlo's face was full of joy. "It's news from Causs. Captain Ventanus has arrived in Macragge with a warship. There are many wounded on his ship. I have arranged for pharmacists and doctors to treat them."

"How is it, is Ventanus okay?" Guilliman was a little emotional. He had never forgotten Calth. That nightmarish betrayal would occasionally strike him when he closed his eyes, making him break out in a cold sweat.

"Captain Ventanus is fine. He wants to see you. I told him you were meeting with representatives from various legions, so he said we can have the meeting after you finish the agenda."

Guilliman mentally praised Ventanus for his humility. He seemed reluctant to show up in front of his cousin. If Ventanus had been present when he was meeting the other legionnaires just now, Guilliman would have been generous in his praise and commendation of him.

Now that Ventanus has returned, the long war under Calth should also come to an end.

What happened on Calth has always been a knot in Guilliman's heart. It would be best if it could be resolved.

"Go and inform him. Ask him to go to the hydroponic garden in the inner court. I will talk to him privately. We fought side by side in Cowes. I hope we won't become strangers."

Yingjie bowed and prepared to go down to inform Ventanus.

suddenly.

Titus Prieto, who was waiting outside the door, pushed it open. He looked very anxious, and Roshi saw that the black belt on his forehead that bound his own psychic energy was glowing.

"My Lord, something has happened, and the spirit can give me revelation."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room heard an extremely harsh ultrasonic vibration, and the window glass buzzed due to resonance. Luo Xi instantly recalled the scenes he had experienced on Cowes.

Guilliman's reaction was even stronger. He rushed to the window, opened it and looked for the direction of the loud noise.

His sharp eyesight immediately discovered the narrow fire streak across the sky. Something had actually broken through Macragge's numerous space defenses and crashed into the capital.

The Primarch inevitably recalled the accelerated Campanile, although post-war replays had made it clear that the Campanile was controlled by the enemy from the beginning and became a suicide bomb that destroyed the Ultramarines fleet.

"Doro, answer me! How could a meteor pass through our defenses and not be discovered until it crashed into Macragge City!"

Guilliman's voice rose, and the hero immediately knelt on one knee. This didn't make sense. Every move in the entire Macragge system was under the surveillance of the Central Thinker. It was absolutely impossible for a meteor to appear here.

But it did appear, what does that mean? It means that the defense they worked so hard to build even has such a low-level loophole that allows a meteor to appear silently.

The fireball fell at an extremely fast speed. Luo Xi saw it streak across the sky and disappear behind a series of tall towers.

There was no loud explosion, no mushroom cloud of strong energy reaction, it seemed to be just an ordinary meteor.

Doro did not continue kneeling to reflect. Instead, he took a data tablet from the servitor beside him.

He understood that what the Father of Genes needed was not an emotional reflection and review. What he needed was to understand the situation as soon as possible and review the cause and effect of the meteor from beginning to end.

"The report has been uploaded. The meteor hit the southern industrial area, in the area north of the Octagonal Castle, the Annomi District."

"I have notified the guards and mortal duty personnel to rush to the scene, my lord."

Guilliman did not pursue Dolro's possible mistake. He just waved his hand and asked Dolro to rush to the scene.

"You will be in charge of this matter. Find out where it came from, how it went undetected until the atmosphere, and how it managed to get past our orbital defenses and the Orion radar detection network."

A meteor cannot cause much damage, but the key lies in how it appears. Since a meteor can hit Macragge, can the enemy's drop pod and Extermination Order weapon hit Guilliman's head?

Guilliman's good mood was completely ruined by the sudden visit of the meteor. He paced back and forth in the room, picking up the data tablet from time to time to check the situation.

"Don't be nervous. If you can't figure it out, just blame it on the warp storm. That thing might have appeared directly from the warp in Macragge's atmosphere, so those defense lines didn't react."

Luo Xi said, he mentioned a possibility.

Guilliman also believed that this conjecture was very likely, and he should not use his usual thinking to measure this matter.

The inertia of thinking means that there will inevitably be loopholes, and loopholes will lead to failure.

"You are right, I was too nervous." Guilliman chuckled.

"Let's go and meet Ventanus. It's been a while since I last saw this old friend."
