Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 116 The gradually recovering legion

It didn't take long for the news of Elaine's return to spread quickly.

The Son of the Mountain, who had been silent before, quickly regained its vitality. Greer, who had been busy all day long, gradually relaxed as the backlog of various complicated affairs after Kahn left was quickly resolved. Immediately, Elaine dealt with Under this circumstance, even the internal affairs that the legion commander was responsible for were all resolved.

The air routes around Nuceria are constantly being opened up, and many agricultural worlds and mineral worlds that once belonged to them have also been transformed into hive worlds under Elaine's will. Although no one knows what the meaning of her actions is, However, the almost astronomical order of raw materials still made many logistics worlds in the limit star field feel excited.

So many eyes are fixed on Nuceria, they are either directly belonging to the empire, or wandering merchants from certain ancient worlds, the caravans of these giants have come to Nuceria in an endless stream, just to explore It shows the future intentions of the Lord of the No.12 Legion.

……

"Ah... what a perfect agreement. After seeing this, those pedantic old guys will no longer obstruct the plan to open up the air route—you know, Mr. Kahn. There are always many things that you will be involved in. Helpless resistance... Of course, it is very closely related to your identity, after all, this is in the Limit Star Field, and those old guys absolutely don't want to see it..."

"...the second Ultramarine? I can understand that this is an inherent stereotype. Before I actually came into contact with those Ultramarines, I also thought that their Legion leader was an ambitious existence. Like the Night Lords The appalling military discipline, the blood of the Holy Blood Angels hidden under the nobility, I think, as the progress of the Great Crusade continues to advance, it seems that the misunderstanding is not far away."

"Hehe... I didn't expect to hear so many legion anecdotes from you, Mr. Kahn. However, like many business leaders waiting here, we are really curious why your legion transforms so many hive cities World——According to the data in the Terra archives, a hive world of such a scale will increase the output of the empire's basic industries by one-tenth. "

"I have nothing to say on this question."

"Sorry, I was the one who overstepped."

Watching the businessman leave the castle, Kahn sighed.

He looked out the window at the blizzard all day long, as if his heart was being cooled by many complicated affairs.

This is the tallest mountain in Nuceria, a sacred place called the Throne of the Mountains by the Nucerians.Here, apart from the brutal cold that would kill any life quickly, there is only one castle that symbolizes the identity of the lord of Nuceria.

Conqueror, Snow Peak Saint, Lord of the Red Sand, these were all the great achievements left by her mother on this planet. Kahn has been living here temporarily since returning from the Chaos Expedition, and he and Greer share the responsibility. With the responsibility of the Revival Corps.

After his mother returned, although he no longer had to deal with the busy government affairs and field work as usual, he still had to face the responsibility of communicating with the imperial caravan...

Now, representatives of the major caravans from the Extreme Star Territory are waiting outside the door. For the technological level of the Human Empire, the severe cold on the Nuceria Holy Peak will naturally not affect it. This is where Elaine wants to choose the location for the negotiations. The reason for being here.

To be honest, Kahn would rather go to the front line of the Great Crusade to fight against the aliens than to negotiate with these scheming businessmen.

When Kahn was preparing to deal with various treaty documents for the next businessman, Elaine's slightly joking voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Pfft... the ambitious Lord of Ultramar, it seems that my brother's reputation in the empire is indeed not very good. 】

"...This is a fact, mother. No one would think that a Primarch who has inherited the identity of a planetary governor has no selfish motives for 'opening up territories'. Before we returned, there was no such thing as five hundred worlds. "

Kahn said helplessly that he knew his mother was eavesdropping on his conversations with the merchants, and he was mentally prepared for being teased.

Before his mother returned, Kahn had clearly seen the strange trend of an empire within an empire in the five hundred worlds under their command.

Although his character doesn't like to use this kind of words as an auxiliary material in negotiations, after all, Nuceria is indeed within the limit star field, and even within the five hundred worlds of Ultramar - when negotiating with merchants In the process, it is very important to appear to be distinct from the Ultramarines. 【uh-huh.So I take it that you're accusing Guilliman, Kahn? 】

Suddenly, Elaine's voice suddenly became serious, and Kahn even felt that his mother's expression of examining him appeared in front of his eyes.

"No... I didn't mean that, Mother. Of course I dare not accuse a Legion Master..."

Kahn immediately panicked and began to defend himself.

【Hahaha!Look to scare you. 】

And as if anticipating that Kahn would show such a flustered look, Elaine let out a hearty laugh.

[Looking at the complicated expression on your face every time you mention the Ultramarines, it can’t be because of Guilliman and his ‘Second Empire’ in the future, right? 】

Before Kahn was completely relieved, Elaine's casual voice came into his ears again.

"Don't tease me, mother... There are still several caravan representatives waiting for me."

Kahn couldn't help showing a wry smile.

[Okay - I'm just a little bored.After all, those jobs are really nothing, and now we are waiting for Onomamos to be free...]

"Is there something about recruits?"

[Yes.After all, the Legion can't just be just a few hundred of you all the time. Although we are still in the recovery period - the matter of military expansion is still on the agenda. 】

"It seems that you have thought about how to deal with the new recruits."

[Strictly speaking, it’s actually not a big problem, because the genetic defects of our legion have been repaired long after the Chaos Expedition.But your prudence did help me a lot, and made me realize that even my psychic link has limits-now, as long as the recruits are incorporated into your link, there is no need to worry about any problems. 】

"...Did you already pay the price?"

Kahn couldn't help but feel a little worried when he recalled his mother's empty right arm.

[As long as it is for you, it is definitely not a 'price'. 】
