The Astartes Family's Notebook

Here we have to mention that damned thing called the Path of the Dao.

Finding solace in flowers and plants, and immersing oneself in them wholeheartedly, can indeed suppress sensory stimulation.

However, as any veteran online gamer knows, once a character reaches max level and acquires fully geared equipment, the game naturally becomes boring. Players either switch to a different path or experience a burst of stress and indulge in a bit of fun.

For a warrior like Ysera, who is proficient in multiple paths, piston-like movements are a simple and inexpensive way to relax. It's inappropriate to impose human morality on the Eldar.

Are there any star-crossed lovers among the Spirit Race who are deeply in love and destined to stay together forever?

Have.

However, individual choices do not represent racial commonality.

In any case, Ysera's guards did not feel any envy or jealousy towards Kars, especially the female members.

I had long heard that the Astartes were extremely powerful warriors and sought-after targets by the Comoros. If it weren't for their strong resistance to drugs and difficulty in taming them, the Dark Eldar would have fought to the death against the more than a thousand warbands of the human Empire for them.

Don't be naive. Do you really think that Astartes being captured and taken to Comoros is just a simple matter of playing matches?

Alas, every race that can persist in swimming in the cesspools of the purgatory galaxy has its own serious ailments.

But then again, what Ysera thinks has something to do with Kars, who owns half a Throne Coin.

When Astartes is out working, he needs to know how to protect himself.

Oh, Your Majesty, was this also part of your plan?

From the perspective of Holy Terra, or rather, from the perspective of mortal rulers represented by the High Lords, Astartes may be useful, but a pitifully thick barrier has already separated Astartes from mortals.

Although the root of the limitations on Astartes was sown during the Horus Rebellion, given the size and strength of the Empire, ignoring all other factors, simply increasing the number of Astartes from one million to two million would eliminate many of the problems.

But they wouldn't dare do that on Holy Terra.

Not only are they higher and stronger, but they are also smarter and have more leadership qualities.

If the Imperial faction really grows too big, don't even wait for Abaddon in the Eye of Fear to be unleashed. The Imperial Fist's tradition of purging corrupt officials has already made the Highlords uneasy.

It's not that I can't, it's that I dare not.

The only good news is that the Royal Guards are also bound by the so-called "Restraint Act," meaning they are theoretically not allowed to leave Terra Palace.

Is this good news?

This is certainly good news for Astartes. Those damned corn-eating devils didn't speak up when the High Lords and the Inquisition were messing with the Astartes, so don't expect Astartes to speak up for them either.

I'm in a good mood.

Therefore, Astartes's apathy did indeed alleviate the tension between the superhumans and mortals of the Empire to a great extent.

The High Lord has sons, the Great Sage of the Mechanic has disciples and grand-disciples, but only the Emperor's angels truly come from the people and return to the people.

The difference in quality is immediately apparent.

The waning of desires did, objectively speaking, increase Astartes' mental resistance.

What evil intentions could the loyal Astartes have? All we ever think about is to meet the Emperor with an open and honest heart, and return to the Golden Throne in glory.

Right, right? You understand? Let's give them a round of applause!

With the sound of a bomb being chambered, the three Mechanicus sages reluctantly clapped a few times.

Damn it, is the Blood Duck Legion crazy? Is this something we Mechanicus monks should be listening to? You can say whatever you want behind closed doors, but why are you telling us? Do you even want to pass censorship?

Motor enthusiasts don't want to hear it, but the chaotic Astartes do.

Brother Samar, well said! You truly are worthy of being called the Light of Chaos! Let's rebel against that human empire!

Nonsense! How can anyone turn against themselves? We are the staunchest loyalists.

Ah yes, yes, yes, Modo Modo, this is exactly what we want to see, carrying the Eagle Flag against the Eagle Flag, it has to be you, Brother Samar.

Open communication and physical intimacy are the quickest and most effective ways to deepen feelings in interpersonal relationships.

Since Kaz is unwilling to engage in sexual activity, then we'll have to talk about our feelings.

Those old-timers who have already established themselves after traversing the Warhammer universe probably don't think running a Chaos Warband is an easy task.

Before taking over Tiger Mountain, Zuo Shandiao (Master Diao) first worked as a construction foreman under the alias Zhou Chaoxian for a period of time to accumulate experience.

Astartes doesn't have the bad habit of fearing power but not morality. If Katz only relies on force to suppress them, the brothers won't openly rebel, but they will desert every now and then. The Ishimura only stopped three or five times and all the men ran away.

Where would we find the scene of people flocking to us from all directions, a scene of "a multitude of people filling the court"?

Talking about ideals alone can lead to poverty, but not talking about beliefs can easily result in a bunch of good-for-nothings.

This level of control is something that only someone who has served as an Astartes company commander for decades can master.

Wait, after this analysis, the blind student has discovered another key point.

No wonder the Eye of Fear couldn't defeat the Human Empire in thirteen Black Expeditions.

Ezekiel Abaddon is nothing special; he's just a company commander.

If the Four Chaos Gods could recruit more warband leaders, their great cause would surely be accomplished.

Kars' shamelessness is truly the Emperor's good grandson; it even made the warp destruction powerhouse laugh.

Regardless of whether it's the Emperor or the God Emperor, although they are severely paralyzed, the Empire only has less than a thousand battle commanders in total, which the Lord of Humanity can manage.

Is it because the Four Gods do not want to corrupt the leader of the loyalist Astartes faction?

The defection work has been ongoing, but no sooner had the bribes and transfer fees been paid than the emperor's iron fist came crashing down.

Do you really think being an HR person at Supreme Heaven Group is so easy? We've already given Kars an offer to become a Demon Lord, why don't you just click "accept"?

"Alas, that's not right. How can they be the same? I'm a loyalist."

Ah yes, yes, yes, analyzing frame by frame, studying repeatedly, just that tone, that expression, that natural and matter-of-fact aura, Brother Samar truly deserves to be called the light of the Legion, we respect and love you.

It's not that Kaz has become obsessed with showing off and bragging in front of others, but rather that there have been a lot of wild Astartes joining us lately out of nowhere.

Avoiding small meetings with close associates could easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings, so taking advantage of the Astartes University study session, we'll first talk about things that everyone knows but no one dares to say, causing the close associates to leave voluntarily. Only then can we talk about topics that unite our will to protect the leader.

Katz wasn't talking nonsense. To the three academic spies, or rather, to the three sages of the Cult of Machines who were sent by the Forge World, the place where their academic records were located, his words were full of substance and sincerity.

If Astartes had an internal open course, it would look like this!

Although the oil guy never worked at Astartes, how different is the internal condition of the mechanical teaching valve from that of the Astartes? They are similar in appearance and spirit.

I really wanted to applaud and cheer, but we're not part of the same system after all. Oh well, I'll just go tighten some screws.

After openly and honestly watching the motor enthusiast leave, the atmosphere inside the meeting hall suddenly changed.

By the way, on a side note, Kaz had actually seriously considered how to explain the decorative style of the "Silver Skull Throne" in the Hall of Righteousness to outsiders.

As a result, the other guy didn't even ask.

In the human empire, not only is XP free, but home decoration styles are also incredibly diverse.

Kaz thought the luxurious silver skull design was a bit bizarre, but in the end, the Wings of Desolation had protected him too well.

What's so strange about this? It's a breath of fresh air! There are tons of people with much more extreme tastes. It's common for the number of machine servants on the ships of the "Machine Oil Guy" and the Dark Angels to be ten or even dozens of times more than the number of living people. The Blood Duck Legion is nothing compared to this. The Cherubim from the State Religion also sourced their supplies from the Machine Oil Guy, literally sitting at the children's table.

Kaz is overthinking it.

The empire used phrenology to distinguish the purity of human beings.

The motorist looked at the Silver Skull Throne and saw it as nothing more than a pile of spoils from the heads of Chaos traitors.

But to those traitors and Chaos Astartes who came to join them, that was the head of a Chaos traitor!

"I know there are moles in the team. Some people say they admire me, but who knows what they really think?"

"But it doesn't matter, I don't care, the company doesn't care, the Empire doesn't care!"

"If you do a good job, take your share. When you're about to leave, just let us know so we can part ways amicably."

"If you don't do a good job, don't blame me, Samar, for being ruthless. You can't even do your job properly, you deserve to die."

Abaddon?

Just a little Katz.

Should we turn away Astartes just because their loyalty isn't absolute?

Loyalists have their uses, traitors have theirs, and as for Chaos Astartes, at worst you can just cut off their heads and have Choon turn them into silver skulls.

Scattered Astartes continued to board the ship, and the excuses were quite easy to find.

After all, the Imperial Branch needs to patrol a very large area of ​​territory. Before boarding the Ishimura, we asked the liaison to take two buckets of quick-drying paint with them. Do we need someone to teach us how to put on a disguise?

Even the Red Viper team has "sent" people to join in the grand event.

Kaz is really hard to keep up with. Okay, okay, you are Alpharex, I am Alpharex, and our human empire is a big Alpharex.

In other words, all of Lord Shosen's rebellious sons on the Ishimura are fallen angels. If a black knight or a legitimate dark angel were to infiltrate the ship, that would be truly hilarious.

Hehe, this is what you asked for, so don't say I'm causing trouble later.

So, on the last border planet of the Imperial Star Map, Trois solemnly told Kaz.

"Boss, I suspect that some Dark Angels have infiltrated the ship."

Heavenly Venerable One, please stop this!

whee.

"sure?"

“There is no direct evidence, but there are three guys who, although disguised as having the bloodline of other Primarchs, both Ovisa and Taliman felt that something was off about them.”

"Isn't this direct evidence?"

Boss, why are you doing this? Don't interrupt me, I'm reporting to you very seriously...

"You believe me!"

Why don't you believe it?

"That......"

"This is a rare opportunity, so practice hard and have some fun with them."

"But......"

"Lack of confidence?"

"I'm not that obsessed."

Hahahaha, serves you right for being chased all over the galaxy like chickens and dogs! Kid, this is the M41 era. You can't survive without being crazy. Go and adapt to the environment.

So what if you infiltrated the Dark Angels? It's not a big deal. Since you're not confident you can "infiltrate" the Dark Angels, I'll help you out. I'll tell Afa and the others about it and let Afa go play with the Dark Angels.

"Alright, since you know what I'm doing, I'll get back to my other tasks."

The Mechanical Cult is diligently processing the exploration supplies, while the Blood Duck Battle Group is actively seeking support from like-minded individuals.

Although this temporary alliance was made of paper, everyone was earnestly making final preparations for this deep space expedition.

Once the merchant fleet we contacted earlier arrives, we can all set off.

With that kind of efficiency, Kaz's warband completely crushed the Empire's insectoid forces.

Chapter 454 The Stars Are About to Return to Their Positions

The earliest dwarf jokes were actually made up by the dwarves themselves, so that other races would see them and say, "You're taller than I expected."

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

How should we interpret the phrase "what the superiors do, the inferiors follow"?

Xiao Tong Xiao is a kind of filial piety. The big shots above are personified, and we grassroots workers are naturally filial sons and virtuous grandsons. If the higher-ups can't do it, hehe.

If one's superiors are disobedient, one's inferiors will be unfilial; isn't that a matter of course?

When the human empire is mentioned, other civilizations that have ventured into the Milky Way naturally think of racism and the extinction of civilizations.

But can you guess where UnionPay's headquarters are located?

Holy Terra!

What, which UnionPay are you asking about?

Of course it's the Galactic Civilizations Level 7 and Below Mutual Aid Association, it can't be the Bankers' Alliance, can it?

Does the term "Level 7 civilization" sound a bit awkward? The Empire only classifies alien races into three levels: those that are killed outright, those that are specifically sent to be killed by expeditionary fleets, and those that haven't been killed yet.
