When Luojia conveyed the good news of [Perfect City] to Terra.
The first person to receive the message was not the Emperor himself.
It was a Primarch named Horus.
He and the Space Marine legion he led, the Sons of Horus, were basically of a highly regarded type, unlike Lorgar and the Word Bearers, who were treated as soybeans, and Angron and the World Eaters, who were treated as garbage to be recycled.
He was even elected to the position of [Warmaster], second only to the Emperor!
This means that when necessary, Horus can make important decisions on behalf of the Emperor to a certain extent.
Just like the so-called prince in ancient times!
Therefore, sometimes, Horus would stay in the central area of Terra to handle some chores for the Emperor that he had no time to deal with.
And after seeing the message sent back by his brother.
Horus smacked his lips instantly and scratched his hair in a rather speechless manner.
As the Primarch who had spent the longest time with the Emperor, he knew very well that one of the things the Emperor hated most was feudal superstition.
In this case, although Luo Jia's original intention of building [Perfect City] would be good, there is a 99.9% chance that he will be punished.
This is a very thankless behavior!
Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Horus did not pass the message directly to the Emperor, but tried to explain the stakes to Lorgar first.
But because the distance between the two is too long, there is some delay in communication, so it goes back and forth.
It's another five or six days.
Horus, who had received a reply from Lorga Aurelion again, saw that the other party was still determined to report to the Emperor.
In the end, he could only rub his head and sighed helplessly.
'This is really hard to persuade...'
At this time, a figure wearing red armor with white wings on his back slowly walked into the room.
He looked at Horus who was sighing, and felt a little doubt in his heart, so he asked: "What happened?"
He is Sanguinius, the Primarch of the Ninth Space Marine Legion - the Blood Angels.
There is a peculiar quality in him.
It's a sense of perfection.
Perfect appearance, perfect temperament.
Although it is sacred, it is not aloof.
No one will feel disgusted when they see him for the first time.
Moreover, with his gentle look and tone, even the most vicious person will feel a sense of shame.
With this trait, even among the many Primarchs, Sanguinius has the best popularity.
When the [Warmaster] was selected, if Sanguinius had not withdrawn voluntarily due to some concerns, I am afraid that he would have been the one with the greatest probability of winning.
At this moment, with the appearance of the other party, Horus, who was originally frowning, also looked relaxed.
He had no intention of hiding anything and answered directly: "Luo Jia and his Word Bearers Legion built a special city called [Perfect City] for Your Majesty, and then they wanted to dedicate that city to Your Majesty...
"
After hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Sanguinius' originally peaceful and calm face.
Just like Horus, he didn't think the Emperor would like this kind of thing.
He knew very well that their father, the co-owner of all mankind, hated religious belief very much and thought it was a kind of dross!

And a city built in the name of religion will only make him particularly disgusted.
Especially when your name is hanging behind that city, it will be even more so...
After thinking for a while, Sanguinius, who was a little worried, suggested to Horus:
"Let's give Luo Jia some advice..."
Shaking his head, Horus replied speechlessly: "It's useless. I have already tried to persuade him, but he insists on doing that."
At this moment, Sanguinius was speechless.
He knew very well that many of his brothers had extremely extreme personalities and would not listen to anyone's advice once they made up their mind.
Therefore, he could only give up delving into this issue and asked Horus another question:
"Are you going to the front line in a few years?"
Although he didn't understand why the other party asked this question, Horus still nodded and said bluntly:
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor wants to return to Terra to do something important, so he plans to let me go to the front line to take charge of the overall situation."
After hearing this, Sanguinius said with a somewhat regretful expression: "It seems that I will be transferred to other places to fight. I originally thought I would have the opportunity to fight alongside you again."
Horus was the first Primarch found by the Emperor. In many cases, the newly found Primarch would learn interstellar combat knowledge from him for a period of time, and Sanguinius was one of them.
So the personal relationship between the two of them has always been very good!
Hearing this, Horus smiled and said: "There will definitely be opportunities in the future..."
------
Soon after.
The Emperor, who was dealing with affairs, received information about the "Perfect City" and also learned about Luo Jia and the others' intention to identify themselves with the "Perfect City".
At this moment, I think of the recent expedition progress of the Word Bearers Legion, which was like an old lady taking a walk.
The emperor's fanatical belief in Lorgar and the others had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, and all of it immediately enveloped his heart.
Without any extra thought, in anger, the emperor directly ordered:
"Let Robert Guilliman lead the Ultramarines Legion to the [Perfect City], completely destroy it, and let Lorgar Aurelion and all the Word Bearers kneel down and repent!"
After saying that, in order to make sure nothing went wrong, he looked at the commander of the Forbidden Army beside him and added: "You will lead a legion of Forbidden Army to assist the Ultramarines Legion, and Malcador and I will also be present in person!"
"yes!"
After listening to the emperor's words.
On the side, Horus, who originally thought that the emperor would only punish Lorgar a little, gasped slightly and hurriedly tried to persuade:
"Your Majesty, is this punishment too severe..."
As far as he knew, the [Perfect City] was built on the home planet of Luo Jia and most of the Word Bearers, and its area was almost equal to the surface area of Luo Jia's home planet.
Therefore, burning down [Perfect City] is no different from burning down their entire home planet.
Just thinking about it, Horus felt that this incident would definitely have a huge psychological impact on the loyal Word Bearers Legion and even Lorja!
Faced with his dissuasion.
The emperor denied without hesitation: "I have warned Lorgar many times that the human empire does not seek blind and crazy worship, but every time it is useless!
This time, I have to let him know the seriousness of the matter!"
The attitude is extremely firm!
Seeing that things had come to this, after Horus opened his mouth, he could only sigh slightly and said nothing.
In my heart, I felt a little confused about the future of my brother, Luojia Aurelion...
He didn't understand why Luo Jia was punished to this extent for his behavior...
Over the years.
Even though the progress of their expedition was a little slower, even if there was no credit, it was still a bit of hard work...
