Three Earth days have passed since the expeditionary force led by Russ entered the alien space.
At this moment, inside the meditation hall.
"The cloned Fulgrim, as well as the Emperor's Children's apothecary Fabius, and the great demon under Slaanesh were dissected and analyzed by doctors, saying they could help improve the vaccine.
Um…"
Sui Bian, who was sitting on the golden throne, was browsing the detailed report compiled by Empress Bai through the holographic screen, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
During this time, he has been watching the expedition in another space.
For example, when the Blood Armored Guards of the Night Lords competed with the Phoenix Guards of the New Emperor's Children, he had already provided certain assistance.
Although the Blood Armor Guards belong to the Astartes created using gene seeds, after undergoing G gland implantation and transformation surgery, Sui Bian also regards them as his own children, without any selfish motives or being closer to the pure ones.
The Astartes of the G gland.
This allowed the Blood Armored Guards, who were initially regarded as madmen by the Zero Three Empire, and the older batch of Night Lords to experience attention for the first time, and then gradually integrated into the human society of the main universe.
Moreover, whether it is the older batch or the Night Lords who joined the legion through reserve service, the "neurosis" revealed when they fought, sneaked and infiltrated against aliens in various universes, as well as the "cruelty" and "cold-bloodedness" that were different from other legions.
"...
These should be "negative" characteristics, but in the society of the Human Empire, especially the military forums on the Internet, and social media that tend to be "middle-class", they are particularly popular with the people and netizens.
This made the Night Lord feel flattered at first.
You must know that their style was either criticized or despised during the Zero Three Empire, and they never experienced such treatment.
In fact, the society in the main universe is relatively martial. In addition, not long ago, a group of non-humans or humanoid aliens in the 05 universe went crazy and acted like monsters, which made the general public extremely repulsive to foreign races.
The Night Lords just like to use the most cruel and cold-blooded way to deal with aliens, but they have a strong "appetite" for the human society in the main universe.
Coupled with the official revelation that the original body Konrad, intentionally or unintentionally, had to submit to the rule of the New Human Empire in order to protect the safety of mankind in the Dark Sector, and his deeds of enduring humiliation and hardship for more than two hundred years made the Night Lords more and more popular with the public.
Not only Konrad, but also Horus, Fulgrim and other new Primarchs all have their own "background deeds".
Although the content is different, the core is that all the rebellions of the original bodies were caused by various "coincidences", "misunderstandings" and other conditions, and they were "went astray" by being corrupted by evil gods and demons in different spaces.
Moreover, all the background deeds end with tragic and "difficult to let go" scenes. In this way, the public will also resonate with the new Primarch, and it will be better for the New Primarch to integrate into society.
Of course, these background deeds were all informed by Sui Bian, and then the real past was processed and "appropriately" fabricated by the Red Queen and the White Queen.
Most of the time, the public does not need to know so many dark truths that have become history in order to welcome a bright future.
After such operations and deployment, the popularity of the Night Lords, as a new legion that joined the Human Empire, soared to tenth place in just half a century, suppressing the Iron Hands who had long been responsible for casting.
You must know that the Iron Hands are a veteran-level legion in the autonomous universe since humans entered the interstellar era.
The Astartes and the military know that the Iron Hands are hardworking and meritorious, and their internal comprehensive rankings compete with the Ultramarines for the top spot all year round.
But the public doesn’t know this. People, or netizens, prefer it to be “cooler”.
A legion like the Midnight Lords, with their own tragedy and depressive overtones, is naturally better in image than the Iron Hands, who are always "at home" and have a "straight man of steel" image.
As a result, military expenditures, achievements, soldiers and sponsorships began to flow into the Night Lords continuously.
As for sponsorship.
Although the empire's state-owned enterprise Umbrella is a giant, private enterprises also rely on Umbrella to develop rapidly under the arrangement of Empress Bai.
There is no shortage of money, funding and resources.
And the vast majority of enterprises are engaged in services, catering, entertainment and other projects.
Don't underestimate these. For example, a company that specializes in film, television, comics, games and other entertainment industries may have more annual income than some small mining companies or small colonial companies.
Therefore, some entertainment companies that want to earn more traffic and more audience users must set their sights on Umbrella's twenty legions.
Night Lords is very relevant to stealth, assassination, and horror movies and games, so it not only earns a lot of extra money, but also attracts the support of many netizens.
However, Conrad, who only checked social media almost once a year, when he learned that his legion was more famous than the Iron Hands, he quickly put down everything he was doing, led only his guards and flagship, and personally crossed tens of thousands of light years to arrive.
Reach, the capital of the Forge Sector.
In doing so, Conrad was only able to negotiate with Ferus as soon as possible and express his willingness to provide orders for weapons, equipment and ships at excessive prices.
After all, Conrad was already frightened by the Horus Heresy.
Just because of some small things and misunderstandings between the original body and the original body, it can actually rise to the survival of a planet or even a galaxy.
In the end, it escalated to the endless flames of war across the galaxy.
After receiving treatment from the Plague Doctor and Sui Bian's spiritual blessing, Conrad was finally able to independently control the ability to foresee the future, which also directly cured his "neurosis".
As a result, Conrad, whose emotional intelligence has increased to a certain extent, hopes to use as much money as possible, or various scarce resources and metals, to ensure that Ferus will not cause a gap between the two legions due to his social reputation.
However…
Ferus, who was two hundred years younger than Conrad but much more mature mentally than Conrad, immediately controlled his strength, swung his right hand and hit Conrad's left shoulder, and said angrily:
"You and I are brothers. It's too late for me to be happy that you can integrate into this society and get support from the people. How could I be jealous??
Besides, we Iron Hands are also very busy every year! We don’t even have time to pay attention to the legion rankings.”
Hearing this answer, Conrad was a little confused.
Are brothers from the main universe really so easy to talk to??
In the past, just because a brother accidentally did something or said something, it was enough to cause the two legions to fall out.
Now, when encountering such an incident that can easily cause "jealousy" and misunderstanding, it is not worth mentioning to Ferus??
Seemingly sensing Conrad's concerns, Ferus's expression softened and he added: "However, if you want to close the deal between our legions, that's not impossible.
How about this, whenever your Night Lords slaughter an alien home planet, you send the rarest or most unique metal samples from that home star to Reach as soon as possible?"
Hearing Ferus's small request, Conrad felt comfortable, and then he agreed with peace of mind.
Therefore, when the Blood Armored Guard remained silent, but secretly shouted "For the father!", "For the Emperor!" and other words of absolute loyalty, they could be transmitted to Sui Bian's ears very clearly.
The rest of the information, such as how many big demons and how many "little" evil gods the expeditionary force had eliminated, was no longer worthy of Sui Bian's interest.
Two hundred years ago, Sui Bian became the strongest psyker in mankind after plundering the psychic power of a blood demon named Griffin.
Two hundred years later, low-level demons like the Blood Demon were already small fish and shrimps, and even lower-level evil gods could not enter Sui Bian's "eyes of law".
The most important thing is that evil gods like Slaanesh and Tzeentch who like to cause trouble and have higher status also choose to avoid it.
Among them, Slaanesh negotiated with Sui Bian's projection in another space not long ago, saying that as long as the expeditionary force led by Russ did not go too far, it would not take the initiative.
Just imagine, the original evil gods were so arrogant that they caused the main universe to lose hundreds of millions of compatriots by making some random noises.
But after Emperor Zero Three "ascended", the evil gods were in a state where they both wanted to return to their past, but they also thought they could not die in the true sense.
It’s frustrating.
But they had to compromise.
Just like a player who likes to play in the free world, killing passers-by at will in the game, and finally being besieged and killed by NPCs who maintain order in the game, there is no sense of fear at all.
Because it regenerated after a few seconds.
But if the player learns that death in the game means real death, and that the game cannot be exited, they will definitely be cautious and extremely frightened.
The evil gods are in this state.
But the evil gods were unwilling to give in, so they secretly planned and secretly planned to form and clone new primarchs and Astartes in an attempt to destroy the "vaccine" and the human empire.
Unexpectedly, Sui Bian's decision to send Lyon caused all plans to collapse.
In fact, Sui Bian had long ago determined what the evil gods were up to, and asked A-1999 and the Supervision Department to investigate as much as possible.
It can only be said that the evil gods cannot win in the physical universe no matter what, and they dare not really attack Russ and the expeditionary force.
Because the name "Calf Protector" has long been spread in the evil god's "circle".
You might dare to take action if you are sneaky, but you, the human emperor, are watching, who the hell would seek death?
Fortunately, Sui Bian knew that nothing could be overdone.
If you push them too hard, it might lead to life and death, so Sui Bian unintentionally revealed to the evil gods:
"As long as the expeditionary force kills dozens of big demons and adds a few minor characters (lesser evil gods), they may be able to retreat satisfactorily."
As soon as this news came out, the expeditionary force immediately "opened up" after Conrad killed the clone master.
It was obvious that the evil gods were deceiving the demons under their command to commit suicide.
Otherwise, the Cursed Legion (the heroic souls on the Island of Heroes) in the alien space would have been quite noisy. Now, the evil gods just want to send away a bunch of "plague gods" including Russ and Magnus.
In fact, some evil gods are beginning to consider whether to fight with humans and whether to promote some kind of "win-win" form with the human empire.
Presumably, after this warning, the alien space will be more honest in a longer period of time...
Except Khorne.
However, that fellow Khorne does not need to be included in the calculation.
There is no need to worry too much about the expeditionary force. You can just pay more attention to it, but that Fabius is worthy of Sui Bian's attention.
A little silence.
Sui Bian waved away the holographic screen in front of him, closed his eyes again and began to gaze with psychic energy, and then told the two secretaries standing on his left and right hands:
"Tell the plague doctor to pry out all the techniques and theories he understands and knows from Fabius Bayer's mouth. I believe he can do it."
"Yes." The Red Queen nodded in response.
"Actually..." Queen Bai's expression was a little strange, "Your Majesty, the doctor has already started to do this."
Just by looking at his expression, he knew the Plague Doctor's interrogation methods, which once again refreshed Queen Bai's understanding.
"That's good."
Sui Bian didn't care much. As long as the plague doctor could get the results, he was too lazy to care about the process.
"Your Majesty." At this time, the Red Queen's pupils flashed with a faint red light and asked: "The new batch of adapters in each sector have been selected.
Moreover, there are still at most six Earth months before another trial session on a prehistoric planet, so Your Majesty, would you please start preparations now to add a new trial session for Astartes recruits?"
"Add a new link..." After hearing the inquiry, Sui Bian thought for a moment and said:
"It's a good idea to send this news and confidential matters to the private mailboxes of all legions' original bodies and battalion commanders, so that they can prepare in advance.
As for six months later, I will personally arrange trials for those reserves, but... not everyone.
Red Queen, White Queen, during this period, you two are selecting children whose grades are not outstanding. For the time being, please select two thousand people. Do you understand?"
"Yes (ok)." The two secretaries agreed in unison.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Sui Bian habitually ended the conversation with some comforting words.
Upon hearing this, the red queen's pupils continued to glow, obviously improving work efficiency, while the white queen's prosthetic face revealed a smile.
It seems that the two of them are very fond of the word "hard work".
Although artificial intelligence does not feel tired, Sui Bian maintains this habit regardless of whether they have emotions or have self-awareness.
Emperor Lingsan used the technology he found to lock their loyalty, and Sui Bian strengthened it on this basis.
How could Sui Bian, who was prudent and detail-oriented, really treat the red and white queens as "tool men" because of his loyalty?

…
In the spacious, brightly lit, Umbrella-style waiting hall, there are more than two thousand Astartes recruits wearing black training uniforms, all about three meters tall.
"All recruits are asked to undergo inspection and remain standing still."
Following the broadcast reminder, the recruits walked to the platform in front of them one by one, preparing to accept a series of inspection items.
This group of recruits have completed the final transformation surgery and become quasi-reserves. After they complete the next trial, they can join the reserves of their respective G-gland legions and kill heretics and aliens for the human empire.
