You will select the ten most elite battalions from your respective legions to form an elite expeditionary force, and I will also send half of the Imperial Army and the Solar Auxiliary Army to accompany you.
Russ, you will be the commander of this war."
"Yes, father."
The nine primarchs who were called agreed in unison.
And among these nine primarchs, five are new primarchs and three are "older generations".
As for Conrad Coates, or Conrad who has changed his surname to Sui, he is a bit strange. After all, this midnight ghost is the eldest, more than four hundred years old, and will soon be five hundred years old.
The main reason is that Conrad never rebelled from beginning to end, so there was no need to "purify" the physical body and spiritual soul.
However, in terms of prestige and status, it is impossible to hand over the position of Warmaster to Conrad, but Midnight Ghost and Midnight Lord can obtain enough merits through this expedition, and can also promote with the other eight legions and the original body.
relation.
And Davalic…
This "young" person, who has already started to grow a beard with the same shape as Russ, and whose body is similar to Russ, is the first person who, like Sui Meng, disappeared in the history of the Zero Three Empire.
Primarch of the Second Legion.
Although Davalic and Sui Meng are both good at charging into battle, the difference is that the original body and the Second Legion, who are full of "Russian" accents, are more upright and accepting of death than any of the original bodies and legions.
Much more.
In the early days of the Great Crusade of the Zero Three Empire, except for the Ultramarines and Salamanders who were willing to maintain good relations with the Second Legion, all the other legions had considerable contradictions and conflicts with the Second Legion.
Moreover, among all the legions, the Word Bearers and the Second Legion were the most at odds with each other. If Emperor Zero III had not suppressed them and other legions had not dissuaded them, a violent conflict might have broken out during the expedition, and a civil war would have very likely been staged.
Because every time the Second Legion occupies a planet or galaxy, it will promote values such as "equality for all", "rule of law", "integrity", and "friendliness".
Doing so would greatly affect the efficiency of the expedition, just like the Word Bearers building temples and praising the achievements of the Emperor, the Primarch and the Astartes every time they conquered a place.
However, instead of having any intention to blame, Emperor Zero Three strongly supported the actions of the Second Legion and hoped that all Primarchs could learn from the Second Legion.
As a result, before the Perfect City was destroyed by the Ultramarines, the Second Legion was actually at the top of the Word Bearers' "hate list."
In the end, when the Second Legion attacked one of the alien mother planets, they could not and could not imagine that the alien race was deeply blessed by the power of chaos and was extremely resistant to live ammunition and energy weapons. It could only be used in close combat.
Only in this way can he cause harm and fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
The Second Corps issued a rescue request.
But the nearest Word Bearers, World Eaters, and Emperor's Children Legions, instead of responding to support, ignored and ignored them.
When the Ultramarines and Salamanders, who are the furthest away, or across half the galaxy, receive requests for support, the Second Legion, including the Primarch, has already been threatened by the chaotic alien race that lurks the Chosen Champion of the Gods, and even needs to
Facing three great demons who set foot in the physical universe, they were completely annihilated.
By the time Robert Guilliman and Fire Dragon Lord Vulkan arrived at the planet with their respective Honor Guards, the traces of Chaos had long faded, and there was nothing but corpses on the ground.
When the two primarchs unearthed the broken body of their brother from the sea of blood and corpses, Robert and Vulcan, who would not be easily swayed by emotions, were immediately furious and immediately ignored the second legion's request for help from the three legions, leading to the second legion's request for help.
Reported to the Emperor about the Legion's downfall.
Although Emperor Zero III chose to downplay this matter for the sake of the stability of the empire and the smooth deployment of various plans, the rift between the legions also became wider and wider. Until the Horus Heresy broke out, the rift had already
It has reached the point of no return.
This is the past before Davarich was reborn.
However, Davaric, who learned all this from his father (Sui Bian), had a more open-minded temperament and did not care at all about Lorgar, Angron and Fulgrim's neglect of asking for help.
And Davaric also used his own G gland to gradually develop and expand the "Sickle and Hammer" army, and its scale was even slightly larger than that of the Trappers at the same time.
In addition, in terms of team combat capabilities, the Sickle Hammers are also the best among all new legions, ranking among the best.
"besides."
At this time, Sui Bian continued to order: "Before the expeditionary force is formed and ready, I will first send half of the Imperial Army and the Sun Auxiliary Army to Sanosche to provide support to the task force of Constantine, Leon Kennedy and others.
support.
The expeditionary force also needs to assemble in Sanosche first, and after all the personnel are assembled, I will directly open the psychic portal for you, allowing the expeditionary force to go straight to the Eye of Terror."
As he spoke, Sui Bian turned his attention to Magnus, who still had neat short red hair and a clean shaven beard, and warned:
"You and your Glory Guards are also moving forward with the Forbidden Army. The affairs of the assembly camp are left to the deputy to take care of. To deal with the Wokan and Salamanders who have been transformed by the aliens from other spaces, you need Thutmose's psychic assistance.
"
"Good father."
Magnus had no objections. Besides, even if he liked to study psychic powers, spells and the origin of the universe no matter how much he liked to study in the library, he could not avoid the fact that he was a Primarch. Naturally, he wanted to meet him in person and had already fallen.
The "cousin" of chaos whose body expanded to nine meters.
"Yes." Sui Bian also responded lightly, "Robert, during the expedition, you will have the power to mobilize all resources and soldiers in the empire, and do your best to cooperate with the expedition led by Russ.
Ferus and the Forge Sector must also provide the expeditionary force with a sufficient amount of weapons, ammunition and equipment, as well as provide the expeditionary force with strategic weapons that can implement the Extermination Order.
Alpharius, Omega, you two and your Hydra, assist the Imperial Intelligence Department, Supervision Department, Legal Department and other agencies to strengthen the surveillance and control within the Empire.
According to my speculation, after the expedition officially begins, a large number of so-called "reincarnations" will surely emerge within the empire, and these things that are bewitched by evil gods must not be allowed to harm society.
Also, I will let Nova and the ghost agents cooperate with your Hydra operations, after all... I don't like "cockroaches" wandering around."
"Yes, father."
The primarchs whose names were named by Sui Bian all had a hint of regret in their eyes because they could not participate in the expedition to gain merit, but they all immediately agreed.
"Rogg, Sanguinius, and Sui Meng, you three will continue to be responsible for the expedition against the Tyros and find their origin.
John, Leon, Angron, Jaghatai, Lorgar, your task is the simplest, but also the heaviest, which is to strengthen the alert for all star regions and space domains, and to ensure that the multiverse our empire has set foot on
Territory security.
In addition to the more annoying reincarnations, we cannot rule out the possibility that evil gods and demons will once again set off a storm in another space."
"Yes, father."
The remaining Primarchs also responded in unison.
Finish the instructions.
Sui Bian's expression softened a little, and he said with a smile: "Children, if everything goes well with this expedition, then nothing can easily shake the foundation of our human empire, and...
I have absolute confidence in you, so go ahead and get busy, especially Constantine, Lyon and the others still need support."
"yes!"
At the end of the words, all the original bodies raised their chests and stood upright, and then their holographic images dissipated one by one.
soon.
Tranquility was restored in the meditation hall.
The Imperial Guards stationed everywhere have remained silent from beginning to end. No matter what the original body and their father said, they will be buried deep in their hearts and will never be revealed to the outside world.
At this time, Sui Bian also sat back on the golden throne, closed his eyes slightly, and prepared to rest for a while, and the two artificial intelligence secretaries did not bother their boss.
a long time.
Sui Bian opened his eyes as if remembering something, looked at the roof of the palace inlaid with gold square tiles, and said: "By the way, reveal the news of the expedition to the different space to Artemis, and ask her to choose from all the Gray Knights.
Select the most elite thousand people and merge them into the main force of Russ and others' expeditionary force, and then rush to Universe Zero-3 together."
"OK."
Empress Bai directly conveyed Sui Bian's intentions to Artemis, who had recently returned to Earth and was enjoying a vacation due to the establishment of the empire.
Only a few seconds passed.
Queen Bai's eyes flashed with blue light, and then she said: "Your Majesty, Ms. Artemis is the same as Sanguinius before, but she holds more fierce objections. She is currently rushing to the Meditation Hall. May I ask?
Do you want to accept her audience?"
"Accept it." Sui Bian raised his right hand and waved.
"OK."
After talking to Empress Bai, Sui Bian was no longer in the "lazy" and "relaxed" state he had just been in.
As for Artemis's strong opposition, it is actually common sense. After all, most of the close relatives of this hunting goddess fell and died because they went to other dimensions.
Therefore, the expedition using the Eye of Terror to break into another space must be "repeating the same mistakes" in Artemis's eyes.
It didn't take long.
The solid wood door, plated with a layer of gold and inlaid with jade and gemstones of various colors, is open.
"Tap! Tread!"
The low-heeled shoes stepped on the floor tiles outside the door, and the rhythmic sound was also transmitted into the meditation hall.
When the visitor walked into the meditation hall and stepped on the red noise-reducing carpet, the noise suddenly stopped.
Artemis was seen wearing a black slim-fitting dress, which perfectly outlined her curves and contrasted sharply with her blond and white waist-length hair.
It seemed that even though Artemis was very unhappy and sulky because she was notified of the expedition, she still dressed up carefully before rushing to the Meditation Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Walk to the platform of the Golden Throne.
It stops not far from the front of the Golden Throne.
"Your Majesty." Artemis suppressed her emotions and stopped playing around like before. She directly advised: "I have asked Ran Min to select a thousand elites, but I personally do not agree to step into another space. My father
, brothers and sisters are a lesson learned from the past.
Although I would not regret my death, those children cannot be sacrificed. Once we lose those elites, the foundation of our human empire will be shaken...
Therefore, I still beg your Majesty to take back your order."
Artemis now regards herself as a member of the human race, and even thinks that she was a god in the past. Deep down in her heart, she always has a kind of contempt for humans and all living things, which is quite childish and low-level.
Of course, not only her, but also Hephaestus, the Servants of God, Hera, Persephone and Hades all thought they were "gods" because they were in the human empire.
I feel a little uncomfortable and want to integrate into society as a human being as much as possible.
at this time.
Artemis finished her words of advice very quickly, but after seeing that Sui Bian still had a calm face, she gradually came to her senses...
Yes, this emperor who was forced to become the emperor never fought an unprepared battle.
Moreover, Artemis cannot detect Sui Bian's current strength at all. Perhaps Sui Bian's soul projection in another space can compete with all the evil gods?
The reason why she was so excited just now was because the scene of leading an army into a different space was too similar to her father Zeus.
When Artemis realized that she had lost her composure, she immediately raised her right hand and put it on her chest, bowed down and saluted Sui Bian, and said:
"Please forgive my extreme words just now. Once Ran Min completes the selection, we Gray Knights will accompany the expeditionary force to Universe 03."
Sui Bian saw Artemis coming to him to give him some advice, but after he relieved himself, he didn't take it too seriously and nodded lightly, "Is there anything else?"
"No, I'll go get busy first."
Artemis turned around and left, and within a moment, her figure disappeared into the Meditation Hall.
The main reason is that the two have known each other for two hundred years and have a tacit understanding. In addition, Artemis hates the evil gods and demons very much. After confirming that Sui Bian is "defensive", he naturally hopes to be fully prepared to enter the different space.
Come to avenge her father, relatives and friends.
The door to the meditation hall is closed.
Sui Bian also closed his eyes and used psychic gaze to observe the earth and the low-Earth orbit of the Terra Shield.
"Meet" the Lord of Glory, the Imperial Guard fleet composed of the Moon Goddess class, using warp engines to sail to the Shield of Terra.
After "seeing" Magnus leading the Honor Guard to board the Imperial Fleet, Sui Bian opened a psychic space gate at the edge of the Terra Shield's gravitational range so that the fleet could arrive at Sanosche immediately.

…
The surface of Sanosche.
After Hades's continuous consumption of divine power (spiritual energy), Leon, Lin Hong, and Rom, who were trapped under the surface, were finally brought to the surface.
However, due to the surprise attack launched by Salamanders and the interference of Chaos psychic energy, the task force still suffered some losses.
The fallen primarch Vulcan was dissatisfied with his prey escaping, and led tens of thousands of his descendants, as well as countless Chaos Demons, to the surface...
