"Now let's talk briefly about the expedition."
Seeing that the original bodies no longer "roared", Sui Bian began to order:
"Russ, Corax, Magnus, Konrad, Horus, Fulgrim, Perturabo, Mortarion, Davaric.
You will select the ten most elite battalions from your respective legions to form an elite expeditionary force. 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 battle. "
"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 thing 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 this Primarch and the Second Legion, who are full of "Russian" accents, are more upright and accepting of death than any of the Primarchs 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 other legions had considerable contradictions and conflicts with the Second Legion.
And among all the legions, the Word Bearers and the Second Legion were the most at odds with each other. If not for the pressure from the Zero Three Emperors and the dissuasion from other legions, 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 as the Word Bearers built temples and eulogized the achievements of the Emperor, Primarch, and Astartes every time they conquered a place.
However, instead of having any intention of blaming, 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. In order to cause harm, he fell into an extremely dangerous situation.
The Second Corps issued a rescue application.
But the closest legions of the Word Bearers, World Eaters, and Emperor's Children, instead of responding to support, ignored and ignored them.
When the Ultramarines and Salamanders, who were the furthest away, or across half the galaxy, received requests for support, the Second Legion, including the Primarch, had already been threatened by the chaotic alien race that lurked the Chosen and Champions of the Gods, and even had to Facing three giant demons who set foot in the physical universe, they were completely annihilated.
By the time Robert Guilliman and Lord of the Fire Dragons Vulcan led their respective Honor Guards to the planet, 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, Robert and Vulkan, who would not be easily influenced by their emotions, were furious and immediately ignored the second legion's request for help from the three legions, leading to the second legion's request for help. Complained 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 became wider and wider. Until the Horus Heresy broke out, the rift had already To the point of no return.
This was the past before Davarich was reborn.
However, Davalic, who learned all this from his father (Sui Bian),
He has a more open-minded temperament and doesn't care at all about Lorgar, Angron and Fulgrim's neglect of asking for help.
Davaric also used his own G gland to gradually develop and expand the "Sickle 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 completed and ready, I will first send half of the Imperial Army and the Sun Auxiliary Army to Sanosche to deal with the special missions of Constantine, Leon Kennedy and others. team provides support.
The expeditionary force also needs to gather in Sanosche first. 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 said that, 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 Wokan and Salamanders who have been transformed by the alien bastards, you need Thutmose's psychic assistance. "
"Okay 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, 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 Affairs Department and other agencies to strengthen the surveillance and control of the Empire.
According to my speculation, after the expedition officially begins, there will definitely be a large number of so-called "reincarnations" emerging 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 Ghost agents cooperate with your Hydra operations. After all... I don't like "cockroaches" wandering around. "
"Yes, father."
All the Primarchs whose names were named by Sui Bian, although there was a trace of regret in their eyes because they could not participate in the expedition to gain merit, they all immediately agreed.
"Roger, 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, the possibility that evil gods and demons will once again set off a storm in another space cannot be ruled out. "
"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. Okay, let's get to work. Especially Constantine and Leon 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. Whatever the original body and their father said 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 disturb 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 join the expedition of Russ and others
The main force of the army rushed 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.
The white queen'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 Palace. May I ask? Do you want to accept her audience?"
"Accept it." Sui Bian raised his right hand and waved.
"OK."
After talking to Queen Bai, Sui Bian was no longer in the "lazy" and "relaxed" state just now.
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 gold and inlaid with jade and precious stones 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.
Not far from the front of the Golden Throne.
"Your Majesty." Artemis suppressed her emotions, no longer playing around like before, and 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 my death is not a pity, 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 human beings, and even thinks that she was a god in the past. Deep down in her heart, she always has a kind of contempt for human beings and all living creatures, 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. Somewhat uncomfortable, wanting to fit into society as humanly possible 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, the 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 evil gods and demons extremely. After confirming that Sui Bian is "defensive", he naturally hopes to be fully prepared to enter the different space. To avenge her father, relatives and friends.
The door of the overlooking meditation hall is closed.
Sui Bian also closed his eyes and used his spiritual energy to observe the ground.
Sphere and Terra Shield's low Earth orbit.
"Meet" the Forbidden Fleet composed of the Lord of Glory and the Moonlight Goddess, 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, allowing the fleet to 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 and countless Chaos Demons to the surface...
