The silence in the command room continued, as did the often heated discussions that filled the room.
However, no matter what... during these times, the Fourth Army and the Twelfth Army were indeed busy with each other.
Under the high-intensity computing power and allocation of resources by the Primarchs of both sides, almost no small unit was wasted, and even the maintenance time of the servitors was compressed to the limit.
These two legions, which seemed to be good at fighting and killing, at this moment both showed the essence of what each other is good at.
In every outpost world, you can see the busy figures of Iron Warriors building fortresses, and you can also see the sons of the mountains rushing back and forth to the logistics stronghold.
The two superhuman legions with a clear division of labor accelerated the usually long outpost construction cycle to within a few days. Countless macro-cannon arrays and void shields were also installed with the support of the forge world of the Mechanical Pagans.
Whenever they leave a world, it means that countless impregnable fortresses are built.
During this period, the highly tolerant gene-seeds of the Iron Warriors, aided by the medical equipment of the Children of the Mountains, even recruited tens of thousands of new recruits - although they could usually recruit to this extent in relatively wealthy worlds. The source of troops, but in such a barren star area, it is not an unimaginable miracle.
Of course, if blind space pirates attack, these Astartes don't mind using the sapper shovels and scalpels at hand to pry open their heads.

"I always thought work was light."
Looking at the document in her hand that had been marked with a lot of modifications, Elaine complained slightly tiredly.
Ever since her steely brother came to assist her in her work, she has never been able to relax for a moment.
"Now...I see a mountain of documents. Can you explain it? Brother."
Elaine sighed.
The day-to-day grading took up most of her time and energy. If Perturabo's work efficiency was not far superior to hers, she would not even know whether her brother was here to help or to cause trouble.
——It even reminded Elaine a little of the bitter social animal life in his previous life.
Especially Perturabo, who is as cunning and harsh as Party A's boss.
After hearing Elaine's complaint, the Lord of Steel just snorted coldly.
"...Hmph. Efficiency is an attitude, and you just lack it."
Perturabo had long been familiar with Elaine's cumbersome and wasteful planning habits during this period.
"I have seen too many people who have great talents but waste them. They are blinded by a little glory in their pitiful and short lives, but they don't know that there are more magnificent mountains ahead of them waiting to be climbed."
Perturabo's indifferent words showed a little bit of the elder's spare time, and he uploaded hundreds of bills that needed to be modified, not caring at all how much workload this would add to his sister.
In his eyes... Elaine has talents that are very similar to his own, and her personality is by no means as annoying and rigid as Dorn. It is different from Magnus who is only satisfied with the pride of immediate achievements, and she is also different from Kiri The mediocrity like Mann's difficulty in controlling the overall situation is obvious, and their weakness hidden under the surface is obvious.
And this sister who is in desperate need of growth...her actions of participating in the Great Expedition immediately after her return were also noticed by Perturabo.
It was obvious that her enthusiasm for her father's great cause needed no emphasis, and Horus had spoken to him of the excellence of his newly returned compatriot.
“You still have to weed out unnecessary habits and weaknesses – only then will the real steel be forged.”
Although Perturabo was still strict with his words, he already regarded teaching Elaine as his duty in his heart.
After all, she needs to become as good as herself. Only in this way can she shoulder the corresponding heavy responsibilities in the Great Crusade.
Therefore, Perturabo always fulfilled the teaching duty entrusted to him by his father - to lead his sister, who was not yet familiar with the importance of efficiency in the Great Expedition, on the right path.
At the very least, don’t waste your precious computing power and talent on pity for your heirs.
"Yes, yes, it's that 'waste' thing again... I never feel like I'm wasting anything. This is what I'm good at."
"Brother, not everyone is like you."
Elaine felt a little headache about this rigid-minded [Iron Lord].
Although in Perturabo's eyes, this teaching like a stern elder brother is quite meaningful... but in the eyes of outsiders.
I can only say that it's a bit 'hard'?
Although she knew that the complex and awkward heart of the Hammer of Olympia contained some softness that was difficult for others to know, but judging from Perturabo's usual cold and harsh behavior... it was really difficult to understand.
It was clear that a topic that could be solved just by calming down and talking about it, Perturabo decided to use fierce and sharp debate to solve it.
And in his unruly and indifferent words, he always reveals stereotyped views that make people hypertensive.
Since he was like this, he had no choice but to obey.
That’s what Elaine thought anyway.
Fortunately, there is no doubt about Perturabo's ability to work. The infrastructure and defense problems that originally gave her a headache immediately improved after the arrival of the Iron Warriors. Apart from being made things difficult for her by a strict brother every day...there is nothing wrong with it. Other questions.
"You are still too naive, Elaine. Although this battle can be won easily with your talent, you must also think about the grand expedition you will face next - not every battlefield will have the support of the Iron Warriors, so you The building materials part of [Σ-179 plan]..."
"...Yes, yes, I understand. I will deal with it immediately, brother."
Elaine stretched her beautiful plump figure slightly lazily, selectively ignored Perturabo's earnest teachings again, and redirected her energy to the work in front of her.
At some point, in the discussion between the two, the smell of gunpowder and tension gradually dissipated.
Because the original body guards had already left the command room, Elaine no longer had to maintain the majesty of a mother in front of her children, and she was more relaxed and natural when facing Perturabo.
And Perturabo also focused part of his energy on teaching this fellow Primarch, in accordance with what he believed to be the 'responsibility his father entrusted to him as an elder brother'.
Of course, regarding the departure of the original body guards, Perturabo certainly didn't care about the confusion of his descendants. The person who made this order and proposal was naturally concerned about his descendants, Elaine.
Although she missed the lightness of working alone, Elaine naturally paid more attention to this delicate and awkward brother.
Elaine's pale golden eyes slightly swept across Perturabo's stern face.
At this moment, his tragedy has not yet begun.
The opportunity to change the future is not yet gone.
