"The Raven Guard will stand firmly with you, my lord." Verano replied, "In addition to strangling Chaos and destroying the aliens, the Raven Guard has no desire."

"Apart from what you said, I have nothing else to ask of you, Verano. I'm glad that you can stand firmly on my side." Guilliman responded with a smile, and he looked at the other warriors.

The leader of the group had expectations in his eyes.

"Salamanders have always been the most loyal defenders of mankind. Anyone who fights against the enemies of mankind is our friend. I am willing to join your team, as long as you don't dislike it." He has dark skin, a cold face, and is wearing green clothes.

Said the Power Armored Salamander Warrior.

"Loyalty is rare and valuable, and there is no reason to be picky." Guilliman said.

"The Space Wolves never miss every battle involving Chaos and Aliens. Lord Regent, the wolves will become the sharpest sword in your hand."

The representative of the Space Wolves Chapter, who was wearing a wolf head decoration, said in a firm tone.

"I am eager to wield this sword and win victory." Guilliman looked humorously at the representative of the Space Wolves.

All Chapter representatives stated that their Chapters will obey the orders of the Imperial Regent, cooperate with him to eliminate the Chaos forces in Ultramar, and use Ultramar as a base to attack other areas of the Empire to prevent the destruction of the Human Empire.

.

After confirming the attitude of these war groups, Guilliman asked them to have a good rest and wait for the day when the fleet would assemble and set off for the expedition.

A new war will begin, and mankind will wield its sword against chaos and aliens.

Saying goodbye to his last visitors, Guilliman pondered for a moment in the reception hall before walking out.

The Honor Guard wearing Iron Cavalry Terminator armor followed closely behind.

Calgar, Sicarius, and Phicles were all waiting for him outside.

These are the top players of the Ultramarines Chapter, heroes of the Empire with supreme honor, who have shattered countless wars waged by Chaos and aliens against humanity.

Calgar saluted Guilliman, "My lord."

"No need to be polite, Calgar." Guilliman shook his head, "Come with me to visit Macragge City and see how the reconstruction work is going. We can also talk about some things about the future while taking a look.

"

The hovercraft quickly landed in front of Guilliman. It was a tourist aircraft used for sightseeing.

As the home of the Ultramarines and the capital planet of the Five Hundred Worlds, Macragge naturally has a very special significance. Every year, a large number of tourists come to pay homage to the home of the Ultramarines.

There are many such tourist-type floating boats in Macragge, and they are civilian equipment.

With the arrival of the Chaos army, these hovercrafts underwent militarized transformation.

The same is true for the boat in front of me. It can be clearly seen that the floating boat has been armed and transformed.

The outer shell is inlaid with thick steel plates, and there are still some traces left by electric welding. The weapon bracket has not had time to be removed.

Guilliman was not picky about the hovercraft, he just wanted to see the current situation of Macragge City.

The traces left by the war are still shocking.

Those who survived the devastating onslaught of Chaos rebuilt their homes with the help of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

A large number of Knight Titans had to dismantle their weapons and replace them with construction tools to help people return to normal life as soon as possible.

Mechanicus servants with six mechanical legs carried supplies back and forth and repaired the dilapidated buildings.

The whole of Macragge looked prosperous.

Of course, behind all this, there are also some discordant voices.

While Guilliman was inspecting Macragge City, a loud explosion suddenly sounded.

Several Thunderhawk gunships flew through the air, flew towards the explosion site, and carried out a fire coverage strike on the enemy who planned the explosion.

According to Calgar, it is the remaining cultists who are causing trouble.

The power of Chaos has been eliminated, but the traitors have not yet been captured. They are hiding in the dark, and will launch attacks from time to time, trying to destroy Macragge's reconstruction work.

There were smiles on people's faces, not only because they had driven away the Chaos army and defended their homeland, but more importantly, Guilliman's awakening had allowed them to see that there was still the possibility of redemption in the endless darkness.

Guilliman stood silently on the hovercraft and did not express any opinions on those emergencies. He just silently looked around this ancient, hidden, giant city that had undergone several reconstructions.

He easily defeated the Chaos army, which is true and worthy of people's joy.

The memory of setting foot on the battlefield for the first time kept echoing in his mind, telling him how tragic the war between humans and Chaos was.

After the war, all that was left of Macragge was the charred and fragile ruins, with quagmire formed by the remains of the dead everywhere.

Space is full of suspended wreckage, and countless Imperial soldiers have sacrificed their lives in order to win.

That scene is definitely unforgettable.

After looking around, Guilliman looked at Calgar, "You are my most trustworthy subordinate, Calgar."

"I am very grateful to receive your praise." Kalga replied with a happy face.

"I have an extremely important task for you, Calgar, and it's hard for me to imagine anyone else who can take on this task besides you."

Guilliman then said, and Sicarius and Phicles on the side looked envious.

It is definitely a supreme honor to receive such unstinting praise from the father of genes.

"Soon after, I will gather my troops to launch a cleansing war on the entire Ultramar, completely cleaning out the enemies of the five hundred worlds. But Macragge makes me uneasy. It has just experienced the baptism of war. If it goes through it again,

The blow of Chaos will be an unimaginable blow to the morale of the empire. I need someone absolutely trustworthy to stay in Macragge to protect this world from being attacked again."

Guilliman looked at Calgar with anticipation and hope in his eyes.

A trace of shock appeared on Calgar's face. He originally thought that he would be awarded the vanguard duty in this war by Guilliman and become an indestructible and terrifying blade in the hands of the original body.

Unexpectedly, he was asked by the original body to stay in Macragge and guard against Chaos attacks.

"My lord, I hope so."

Before Calgar could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Guilliman.

"In this chaotic universe, I do not deny the power of Celestine and Amalric. They have led the armies of the Human Empire to attack many times, fighting against Chaos and aliens, and have won again and again. These imperial heroes have

They have their own unique shining points, but they don’t have enough strategic awareness, Calgar. I don’t trust the important Macragge in their hands. I must hand it over to someone who is rich in strategy and strength and can 100% ensure victory.

in the hands of people."

"Macragge is not only a capital star, but also a key place for the future salvation of mankind. The Mechanical Sage has several vital technologies in his hands. With my authorization, he is trying to promote them.

That will be enough to determine the balance of the future battlefield, Calgar, once something goes wrong, all efforts will be in vain."

Guilliman knew what Calgar was going to say. War was what every Space Marine longed for most.

But now, Guilliman must ensure that his rear will not be stolen by Chaos.

The various technologies in Caul's hands are vital and can effectively enhance the military power of the human empire, sweep away the decadence of the past, and have the power to confront demons and traitors head-on.

Letting Calgar stay in Macragge to guard the home is the best option.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations." Hearing this, Calga could only nod and obey.

But he felt a little disappointed in his heart. He had fought bloody battles for the Empire and won countless honors for the Ultramarines, but now he was excluded from the indomitable war led by the original body.

Guilliman seemed to see through his heart, and continued: "You can also prepare a suitable army during this period, and then command it after Ultramar has been cleared and Macragge is no longer a threat.

This army became the vanguard, taking the lead in the Indomitus Crusade, opening the way for subsequent troops to go to various parts of the Empire to kill Chaos and Xenos. You also don't want to see a Primarch who doesn't even have a personal guard chapter, and is reduced to needing the help of other troops.

Troops."

"Sir, do you mean that I can raise an army?"

"Yes, Calgar, a brand-new army, brand-new warriors, brand-new ships, and brand-new ideas. This expedition is not only about expelling Chaos, it is as simple as clearing out enemies. Cleaning up the empire's chronic diseases is even more important.

The people who reform the Parliament will set out with you to spread the new imperial ideas and systems to various places, urge local reforms, and when necessary, those stubborn conservatives can be dealt with as enemies."

Guilliman said in a deep voice, "I can't leave this matter to anyone else. Calgar, you are the only one worthy of my peace of mind."

"I will do my best to do it well, my lord." Calgar's tone wiped away the disappointment just now, and Guilliman's trust made his face look happy.

"Don't let me down, Calgar." Guilliman said solemnly, "You are guarding not only Macragge, but also the future of mankind. Any mistake is the greatest betrayal and harm to mankind."

"I understand, sir, you will not be disappointed."

for the rest of the day.

Guilliman receives visitors from all walks of life, listens to their thoughts and opinions, and makes his own decisions.

A week later, an army composed of the Imperial Navy, Mechanical Skitarii, Battle Sisters, Knight Families, Titan Legions, Inquisition and other forces was assembled by Guilliman.

The problem of Ultramar must be resolved as soon as possible before we can send our troops to all parts of space to wipe out the forces of chaos, quell the rebellion, and reshape the human empire.

Standing on the bridge of the Glory Queen-class battleship Macragge's Glory, Guilliman opened the communication channel for the entire army.

His voice resounded through every battleship and echoed in everyone's ears.

"I am very happy to fight side by side with you, my brothers and sisters, my flesh and blood relatives. The Chaos Gods thought that we humans would become playthings in their hands and would never be able to escape. They destroyed our home and hunted us.

brothers and sisters, but want us to succumb to their dark and terrifying rule, that can only be wishful thinking. From today on, mankind will fully fight back against those damn chaos and aliens, and we will tell them with the sharp sword in our hands that mankind

Never give in."

Guilliman raised his voice, shaking everyone's heart like a huge thunder, resounding in every corner.

"Mankind will never surrender, long live mankind, long live the Emperor."
