The Astartes Family's Notebook

But the gang leader's fist is really big; those who harbor ill intentions can't afford to mess with him.

"The Imperial Maxims, written by Lord Luojia... Is there a problem with having you explain that lord's work?"

Brother Samar, stop messing around. The thing that Lord Luojia hates most in his life is writing that book, "The Emperor's Sacred Words." Everyone in the Eye of Fear knows that. Aren't you being a scoundrel?

However, how should I put it, after reading the "Imperial Maxims" that Kaz threw at them, the Word Bearers suddenly discovered that the human empire was incredibly powerful.

First, we need to understand one thing.

Luo Jia wrote "The Record of the Emperor's Sacred Words," which, like the Bible and the Analects, is essentially a biographical masterpiece that records the emperor's words with annotations.

In Guilliman’s study are the handwritten copies that Luo Jia personally delivered back then.

The current "Imperial Proverbs" is a creation of the "Hermit" who lived in seclusion in Terra, the Holy and Dauntless creation of the Legion of Word Bearers, the "Imperial Proverbs (Version 2.0)". The State Church further modified this creation based on it.

There was no deliberate distortion, only a lot of deletions, with a little bit of subtle embellishment added as a spice.

Even those Chaos Astartes who had read the original "Imperial Proverbs" had to admit that the contents recorded in the "Imperial Proverbs" were 99% true, and that Lord Luojia really did say those words back then.

So it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with Kaz asking the Word Bearers to preach the "Imperial Maxims" to the humans in the Pocket Empire who don't believe in the Emperor. During the Great Expedition, Lord Luo Jia himself did the same thing.

That's called paying tribute.

But Samar, what does it mean that the first sentence cannot be skipped?

Of course, this is because the opening statement of the "Imperial Maxims" is that "The Emperor is God."

It is because of this opening statement that emperors were given the title God-Emperor, that is, divine emperors.

It can be said that the existence of the God Emperor is built on the foundation laid by the "Imperial Maxims".

Kars had long since accepted the reality of the Warhammer universe; when in doubt, he would simply rely on God-Emperor's protection.

Despite the impressive appearance and impressive stats of this deep space exploration fleet, it destroyed a pocket empire in just over ten days.

However, killing is easy, but reforming is difficult. If you want to snowball your criminal behavior, mere violence won't do the trick.

Just because Astartes couldn't do something doesn't mean the Emperor couldn't.

The Human Empire, a makeshift organization, would have fallen apart long ago without the faith in the God Emperor.

Since the "Imperial Maxims" is useful, let's use it. Whether the Emperor is a god or not is not up to him to decide.

Aside from Chaos Astartes feeling awkward, uncomfortable, and out of place, the other members of the fleet felt that Katz's decision was perfectly reasonable and that this was the way things should be done.

So when the Word Bearers were broken up into several preaching groups and began to preach intensively in major cities, the resistance forces of the Pocket Empire were quickly disintegrated.

After all, the butcher who confiscated and exterminated families suddenly turned out to be a brother of the same clan, and the ordinary people of the Pocket Empire suddenly discovered that there was a great god, the God Emperor, above humanity...

What's the point of resisting then?

I can love the God Emperor, I can love the Empire, my lord, I am loyal, loyal!

What millions of Star Guardians might not be able to do, the Imperial Maxims accomplished.

Although the language of this Pocket Empire should be classified as a Low Gothic dialect, the Word Bearers are still Astartes, and their superhuman brains are naturally suited for this kind of thing.

Later on, the believers became engrossed.

Look at that preaching hall, a sea of ​​dark, completely absorbed listeners and believers.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, Brother Samar, may you be blessed! Is this what the veterans of the Legion went through back then?

This kind of spiritual satisfaction is just too...

Ding! A word-holder has taken refuge in the Golden Throne.

Kaz is really good at creating drama; the four gods in the VIP room of the High Heaven were speechless.

But we're still hoping Kaz will fight the Tyranid vanguard. Any action that strengthens the expeditionary fleet is permissible at the moment. He's just a mindless, undifferentiated man. Oh well, let's just watch the game.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Katz did not respond to the false emperor's request for a duel.

Because what the Grand Secretary wanted to see was a trial of the people.

Without the help of locals to end the life of the false emperor, this conquest ultimately fell short.

There must be such a ceremonial event to mark the completion of this conquest.

The motorist didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

The False Emperor's last fortress has been isolated. Whether it's orbital bombardment or manually crafting the Great General Cannon to breach the gate, it's not a difficult task for the Mechanicus Sages.

On the contrary, Kaz's restrained killing preserved most of the planet's human-made structures, which greatly facilitated the archaeological excavation work of the oil enthusiasts.

And then the positive feedback came.

The three academic spies, who had been forced to board the ship, briefly and selectively forgot their espionage identities and actually began to engage in academic pursuits.

Since Kars wasn't going to play games, the Mechanicus then showed their true colors.

Ten sets of power armor were handcrafted within a month. Although a forged ship close to cruiser specifications is already very versatile, this efficiency and production capacity, upon closer reflection, make those unscrupulous merchants in the forging world really deserve to die!

Ysera repeatedly checked the calculations and finally recalculated the new psionic coordinates a month later.

"This time it's definitely right, no, it wasn't wrong last time either. It's just that the parameters of the universe and the constant parameters of the sea of ​​souls have changed. My algorithm is flawless!"

"Oh right, right, let me show you something nice first, then we'll go."

Katz said he focused his energy on politics and never interfered in the specific battle arrangements of the expeditionary fleet again.

At least the Astronomical Army lieutenant general selected by the district government was truly capable. With authorization from Astartes and without any other generals holding him back, he managed the deployment and mobilization of the entire mortal army in an orderly manner.

Kaz wasn't stingy; he had Qiongn forge five life-size golden statues of the general and then arranged for Ovisa to deliver them directly.

Meanwhile, Katz himself was compiling statistics on the Pocket Empire's resource reserves and population composition.

The preaching and sermons of the Word-Bearer were a great success, and a fervent atmosphere of conversion has been created.

It is our honor to serve as His Majesty the Divine Emperor's currency.

Long live the human empire!

Long live the Divine Emperor!

Loyalty needs no reward, but it needs to be proven.

How to prove it?

Burning... cough cough, I got the words mixed up, sorry, let's start over.

Kill the false emperor!

When the loyal subjects who had pledged allegiance to the empire began to raise torches and march from the darkness toward the last stronghold of the false emperor, the prairie fire spread like a blazing starry sky, irresistible and unstoppable.

There are plenty of powerful war guild leaders out there, and Chaos Astartes, who had only heard of the reputation of the "Destroyer of Halls," initially didn't take it seriously.

However, the Astartes, with its members like the Samar brothers who were adept at understanding human nature and playing political games...

Some of the spies who had infiltrated the Ishimura began to regret their actions. Could their own faction really reap the rewards from Blood Duck?

The Dark Angels, on the other hand, were driven to a state of mental disorder.

What is Samar thinking?

Is he really a traitor to Chaos?

What his subordinates think is unimportant; Kaz's original intention has never changed.

Murder and arson are just waiting for amnesty!

The false emperor felt betrayed; everything he had upheld and all his efforts had lost their meaning the moment the people he had protected collectively turned against him.

The desperate defenders, seeing that guns and cannons could not stop the surging crowd, finally gave up.

Even if officers were shot repeatedly to empty their pistol magazines, it wouldn't make a difference.

Because the next moment, he was stabbed in the back and died by suicide.

The tide has turned; the tide has truly turned.

Katz was not interested in anything that was happening inside the fortress.

"Trois, make a note of this. Go and let the Star Army know that whoever gets the false emperor's head will be the new governor of the planet."

"Boss, doing this..."

"That's why I wanted to let you know in advance."

"......Understood."

"In addition, notify the Star Language Choir, send a wide-area interstellar message, and inform the Imperial Government of nearby star sectors that the planet has been liberated."

Oh, now Troys really understands.

This lucky planetary governor is simply a target.

Looting assets, seizing land, rebuilding the central authority, and restoring production—Kaz, a ruthless document machine trained by Motor Sich, is no challenge for the legendary Astartes [Destroyer of Annihilation].

Soon, a local Star Guardian army of 200,000 was formed.

Kaz left two initial Astral Legions to oversee planetary defenses and a destroyer from the Subsector Fleet to keep watch. He then sent Trois to bring back the missing scoundrels.

"Two hundred thousand newly formed Star Guardians, half of them will be taken away, and the other half will be left to the Governor's Office for riot control."

"Seize the supplies that need to be looted as soon as possible, and load the items that have already been counted onto the ships immediately. As for the issues of crew members, sailors, and indentured laborers, let the naval captains discuss them among themselves. There is only one principle: no exceptions."

"As for you esteemed wise men, calm down, it's time to set sail."

There was absolutely no self-satisfaction or complacency after expanding the empire's territory.

Katz was unusually calm, unlike a normal Astartes.

He didn't even add any new carvings to his power armor.

The reason is simple: it's wide area communication. The satellite signal was sent out, but there wasn't even a response.

Is the achievement of conquering a star system not enough to warrant the Empire sending someone to negotiate with him?

Okay, okay, okay, good, good, good.

It seems the scale of the expedition isn't large enough, so let's carry it on to the end!

Chapter 458 The Great Sugar in the East

Why can't Tang Sanzang become a Holy Warrior?

Because the Oath of Redemption forbids paladins from abortion.

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

The new-era dark angels who think they can board the old ship Ishimura after watching a few Caliban movies are dreaming.

Trois realized that he had learned the essence of a scumbag from the big boss Samar.

Do not take initiative, do not refute, do not resist, and do not take responsibility.

Grand Elder Ka was busy sculpting and polishing his body, showing no interest in the fleet's work during the voyage.

The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, Qiong En, lacked seniority and mingled with oil enthusiasts, which raised questions about his conduct.

Minister of Revenue Taliman was busy training new recruits and was unable to spare any time for other tasks.

Trois held the positions of Minister of Personnel, Minister of Rites, and Minister of Justice, so he was very busy.

But Trois still makes time to play with the Dark Angels.

Do I look like a dark angel to you?

Like.

I think so too. So, are there any areas that can be improved?

No, it's already perfect.

The Hunter Path and the Witch Path can be interchanged, as can the Dark Angel and Alpharis Path.

Under Katz's tutelage, Troys has perfectly mastered the core essence of disguising Alpharis—half-sweetness.

As long as they insist on being a Dark Angel, and then deliberately reveal some imperfect but barely acceptable flaws while working, the Dark Angel undercover agent will start to question their existence.

Is the second-in-command really a fallen angel?

The more I look at it, the more it resembles AlphaGo.

It is important to know that the First Legion has had a strict mental termination protocol since ancient times.
