Chapter 916: The st Legion Loses Its Primarch
The huge warp storm continued to rage in this star field. It looked like another Eye of Terror. The terrible warp storm continued to rage here, isolating the Milky Way from everything outside the Milky Way. The good news was that the Tyranids could not enter the Milky Way on a large scale. The bad news was that the warp storm dragged the Tyranids directly into the warp. Although some of them were killed directly in the warp storm by the concept of the warp god, some were swept away by the warp storm and thrown into various corners of the Milky Way.

Although there are still some Tyranids who have entered the Milky Way, at least the main force of the Tyranids has been temporarily blocked. Unless these Tyranids take a detour into the Milky Way, they will not be able to enter the Milky Way from this direction at all. The detour also takes time, and this time has been dragged on long enough.

"Where are we?"

In an unknown star field, a huge fleet suddenly returned to the real universe from the subspace. When this huge fleet came out of the subspace, on the Light of Humanity in this huge fleet, Zhou Heng stared at the star map of this galaxy scanned on the screen in front of him, and immediately thought of the navigators and the artificial intelligence and asked them where they were now.

Just when Zhou Heng asked this question, before the navigators could respond, the fleet's artificial intelligence used the data in its own system to compare the starlight in the currently observed cosmic background within one second, and used the positioning method of some equipment to immediately locate their current relative position in the Milky Way.

Their current location is in an area of ​​the Taiping star field close to the edge of the Milky Way. To be honest, the subspace storm really threw them a bit far, almost from one end of the Milky Way to the other. Zhou Heng was silent about this situation. When the subspace storm broke out, he had already thought of the worst outcome, that is, Wang Ming had fallen into an evil god in the subspace, and this huge subspace storm was the first scream when the evil god was born, which made Zhou Heng feel very uncomfortable.

Wang Ming's transformation into an evil god means that humanity has a new great enemy, and it also means that the 21st Legion has lost its original leader, and he has also lost his friends.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Heng began to think about a question. Without Wang Ming, what position does the 21st Legion occupy in the empire now? When Wang Ming was there, the 21st Legion was relatively independent in the empire. They had several industrial world clusters. In addition to the Morse industrial world cluster, they also had a large number of worlds in the Kronos Expansion Zone. At the same time, there were also a large number of worlds loyal to them at the edge of the galaxy.

The 21st Legion has the allegiance of countless wandering merchants and knight families, as well as the allegiance of many Forge Worlds. This is almost equivalent to an independent small empire within the system of the empire. It can be said that as long as the 21st Legion and Wang Ming want, the Second Empire can be established on the spot. Of course, these things are all based on the existence of Wang Ming. If Wang Ming is really lost, the status of the 21st Legion in the empire will be a bit embarrassing. The 21st Legion can still retain a relatively independent position in the empire, but as before, it should be impossible to regard all the rules of the empire and all those political games as nothing.

At least the Empire today is no longer the bloated and corrupt Empire of the past. After various major reforms and the return of the Primarchs, the Empire today is almost the same as the Empire in the Great Crusade era. Although there are still some diehards who stick to the practices of previous eras, under previous deliberate guidance, most of the officials in the Empire now support the reform of the 21st Legion, and the reform will continue at the suggestion of other Primarchs. This makes the so-called high-level officials of the Empire very close to the 21st Legion, but this is all based on the faction that the 21st Legion has its own Primarchs, and the other Primarchs are not actually too sensitive to the management of the Empire. Except for Guilliman, the other Primarchs are currently fighting in the galaxy. With the support of some old factions of the Empire, it is very likely that those mortal officials will put pressure on Guilliman to suppress those high-level officials who support the reform plan of the 21st Legion, and at the same time, let the Empire embark on the same desperate path as before.

Zhou Heng kept thinking, the more he thought, the more he felt that this matter was very troublesome. He was not a genetic Primarch like Wang Ming, he was just a soldier. Even if he was forced to command an entire fleet, he could not rely on his personal strength and personal resources that were completely unrestrained by the empire like Wang Ming to confront those old imperial high-ranking officials.

"What are you thinking?"

Just as Zhou Heng was thinking, Wang Xiaofa's voice suddenly appeared in his ears. He immediately turned around and looked at Wang Xiaofa who had appeared beside him at some point.

"I'm thinking, if Wang Ming really has..., then how should we face the current situation of the empire, how should we continue the reform plans set by Wang Ming, and at the same time fight against the existence in the warp. And I think, according to the nature of the warp storm and the size of the main force of the Tyranids, the warp storm set off by Wang Ming must have allowed a lot of Tyranids to enter the warp. This guy will definitely follow the warp storm into the galaxy, which is also something that needs to be dealt with..., I am not a qualified commander, nor am I a qualified leader. I am just a soldier. I don't know what I should do next."

Zhou Heng looked at Wang Xiaofa beside him. He looked at this Astartes who had followed Wang Ming for hundreds of years. He directly told Wang Xiaofa what he was thinking. He felt that he did not have the ability to lead an entire legion of the same age, nor did he have the ability to play political games with those high-ranking officials of the empire. He could not be like Wang Ming, completely ignoring the system of the entire empire, completely ignoring everything in the entire empire and only following his own plan. He could ignore everything outside his plan. This was something he could not do at all. After the 21st Legion no longer had Wang Ming's unlimited supplies, it could only be supplied by those industrial worlds that were loyal to it. Moreover, after losing Wang Ming, Zhou Heng did not know whether those industrial worlds would still be loyal to them as before.

Zhou Heng felt that he did not have the ability. Moreover, now, because of the huge subspace storm, many Tyranids have entered the Milky Way. Although the number of these Tyranid biological fleets is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of Tyranid main forces, according to the huge main force of the Tyranids, the number of Tyranids entering the Milky Way now will not be much less than before. It is even possible that the Tyranids thrown into the Milky Way by the subspace storm will be larger than before. Zhou Heng did not think that he had the ability to lead the traversers to confront the high-level officials of the empire, nor did he think that he had the ability to lead the traversers to deal with the Zerg that entered the Milky Way. He also did not think that he had the ability to lead the 21st Legion to continue to complete the tasks left by Wang Ming. "What is there to worry about? What's the difficulty?"

Wang Xiaofa looked at Zhou Heng in front of him with a puzzled expression, as if the difficulties and things that Zhou Heng mentioned had nothing to do with them, as if they could easily accomplish those things that Zhou Heng thought he could not do, as if losing Wang Ming was not a big deal.

"The boss will definitely come back, just like before. No matter how long it takes, he will come back. He is not a high and mighty god in the subspace. He is just a human being. He is just a human being who wants to revive humanity and return humanity to that bright era. As for the difficulties you mentioned, those so-called difficulties are not difficulties at all. They are very easy to solve."

Wang Xiaofa looked at Zhou Heng in front of him, smiled at him, and then spoke to him in a flat tone.

"what should I do?"

Zhou Heng stared at Wang Xiaofa in front of him. He asked Wang Xiaofa anxiously, as if he had found a life-saving straw. Just as he asked Wang Xiaofa this question, Wang Xiaofa suddenly grinned at him, and then he only said one word, answering Zhou Heng's question with that one word.

"kill!"

Wang Xiaofa grinned and looked at Zhou Heng in front of him. He uttered these words, and then before Zhou Heng asked any questions, Wang Xiaofa continued to talk to himself.

"Do what you are most familiar with. No matter what dares to stand in our way, no matter what difficulties we face, just destroy them all and kill them all. We have just tested it. We cannot find the boss through resurrection teleportation, but our resurrection ability has not disappeared. We can be resurrected at the place of death. We have endless troops, a complete industrial system, and a self-contained command system. Whether the boss is here or not, we don't have to pay attention to the so-called difficulties or problems. We just need to move forward and continue the plan to revive mankind. Whether it is Chaos, Aliens, or those guys who want to make the current human empire go back to the old path, we will destroy them. The revival of mankind is unstoppable, and no one can stop the plan of human revival."

Wang Xiaofa looked at Zhou Heng in front of him and said these words in a calm tone. The tone of his voice was as if he was explaining what he had eaten for lunch today. It was so calm and relaxed. It represented a kind of self-confidence, a belief in the 21st Legion, a belief in his fighting brothers, and a belief in their Primarch.

In the 21st Legion, there is nothing that is not planned in advance. Maybe some small plans are not well planned, but according to their tradition, behind any big plan, there are countless response plans around this big plan. All possibilities that may cause the failure of this big plan, all possibilities that may cause errors in this big plan will be calculated. Wang Ming has not considered the current situation, so they have started to arrange this plan since they first set foot on Mors a hundred years ago, and when Wang Ming officially decided to embark on the path of becoming a god, various preparations for this plan have been going on.

Whether it is the industrial world clusters, or the Forge Worlds loyal to the 21st Legion, or the human worlds existing at the edge of the galaxy or in the Chronos Expansion, they will unconditionally support anything the 21st Legion does. This is a force controlled by the Astartes Legion that is even larger than the five hundred worlds of the past. Whether Wang Ming is there or not, as long as they want, they can create another Second Empire. Moreover, they also have the confidence to be independent of the Empire. Those Primarchs cannot do anything to them. If after the Empire learns of Wang Ming's disappearance, they want to have some inappropriate ideas about the 21st Legion, such as using a roll of toilet paper to forcibly split their legion, they can even directly attack Terra. No legion in the Empire can withstand the endless terror of the Astartes.

In this universe, no one can stop them from completing their plan for human rejuvenation. They just need to continue Wang Ming's plan and wait for Wang Ming to return.

After confirming all this, Wang Xiaofa and Zhou Heng began to formulate the next plan. First, they dispersed the fleet's troops and began to head to various areas in the galaxy to search for the Tyranid fleets that entered the galaxy and then destroy them. At the same time, they also needed to look for the traces of Wang Ming and the Second Regiment in the galaxy. When the subspace storm broke out, the Second Regiment and Wang Ming disappeared together. No one knew where they went, and now they could only try to find their traces in the galaxy.
