I'm definitely not Warhammer Evil God

Chapter 231 The Second Empire was established?

Guilliman led Lady Euton slowly towards the audience hall.

As for what Ms. Euton said just now about the mortals in the audience hall recognizing the wrong person, he didn't take it to heart.

"It's normal for people to make wrong judgments when they're nervous."

These mortals had never seen the Primarch, and mistaking Liu Haodong for the Primarch was not offensive to Guilliman.

Not to mention the Space Marines, Liu Haodong has a body type that no one can achieve, not even among the Forbidden Army.

Although it was a bit offensive to think so, Guilliman believed that among his brothers, Alpharius, the shortest, was probably only about ten centimeters taller than Liu Haodong.

Under the huge status difference, those mortals who can control their emotions and communicate normally with the emperor's heirs are already in a good state of mind.

After the Primarch left his office, the Invincible Iron Guard, wearing heavy Terminator power armor, immediately followed the Primarch.

But because the original body had to take care of Ms. Euton's walking speed, the group of them did not move quickly.

Therefore, it took much longer than Liu Haodong expected from when he heard their footsteps to when the door behind him was opened.

"Crack!"

The door was opened, and Guilliman, who had blond hair and a handsome face, walked into the audience hall. The eyes of everyone in the audience hall instantly focused on the original body.

Liu Haodong led Andre and Odlais to make way for Guilliman. When the original body passed by Liu Haodong, Liu Haodong naturally followed the outside of the original body's guards, as if they were also the original body's guards.

Because they had mistakenly admitted someone before, the mortals were a little more cautious this time. Although the person who came was very similar to the original body, no one wanted to admit that the mistake happened again.

They hesitated and did not kneel down to salute immediately. Instead, they watched the movements of the Space Marines around them.

After seeing the Space Marines saluting, these mortals immediately knelt down and saluted.

But before they could kneel, the Primarch's steady voice echoed through the vast audience hall.

"No need to kneel, no one needs to kneel."

Guilliman's words made many mortals who had just knelt down urgently hesitate for a while, wondering whether they should kneel down or not.

"When you come to Macragge, I should be the one to welcome you."

Surrounded by the Invincible Iron Guards wearing cavalry-style Terminators, Guilliman walked towards the crowd in the audience hall.

One by one, these loyal Space Marines introduced themselves to the Primarch.

"Say your name." Guilliman asked as he walked towards the Space Marine in the Raven Guard's painting. The Raven Guard's face was pale and he exuded a sense of loneliness.

"Verano Eb, Captain, Silent Squad, Raven Guard," the pale Raven Guard replied.

"Don't be sad, Captain, my brother Corax is still alive." Guilliman patted Ebb's shoulder armor and said.

Villanor Eb's expression suddenly lost control. He stared at Guilliman with wide eyes in shock, "My lord?"

Not only him, but the other Raven Guards following him also lost their status of standing quietly like statues.

Based on their experience on Istvan V and the way the rebels besieged Istvan V, Eb did not think that the original Corax could survive.

If others said this, Ebb would take it as a mockery of them, a mockery of their failure to protect their Primarch.

But Guilliman is different. He is the brother of Corax. In public, Guilliman will not talk about such things.

Therefore, Villano Eb's mood at this time is hard to describe. They all thought that the original body Corax was dead, but now he suddenly knew that the father of genes was still alive, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"According to the information I received, Corax successfully withdrew from the battle on Istvaan V." When Guilliman spoke, he looked at Liu Haodong.

Ebu followed the original body's gaze and looked at Liu Haodong. Liu Haodong met his hopeful gaze and nodded seriously.

Although Eb does not know who Liu Haodong is, if he can be affirmed by the original body, it is definitely an endorsement with huge credibility.

"I asked the World Eaters who besieged Istvaan V. Some of them participated in the pursuit of Lord Corax, but failed. Lord Corax successfully withdrew from the battle." Liu Haodong said bluntly.

"Damn World Eaters?" Eb frowned. Eb obviously hated the World Eaters legion very much. "Can the words of those traitors be trusted?"

After Ebb came to Macragge, he also learned a lot of information about the Ultramar star field. He also knew that the Word Bearers and the World Eaters were now ravaging the world of Ultramar 500.

Therefore, he believed that Liu Haodong should have captured the information from the prisoners of the World Eaters Legion, but Eb obviously did not believe the World Eaters, so he also questioned Liu Haodong's words. "Believable!" Liu Haodong nodded.

It was related to the accuracy of the source of information, especially the information obtained from the rebels, so Eb looked at Guilliman. The Primarch must have investigated the news.

Guilliman obviously knew what Eb meant. He affirmed: "Lewis was a warrior loyal to my father in the World Eaters Legion before. I believe him."

These people's eyes focused on Liu Haodong again.

Veins suddenly popped out on Ebb's neck, and other Loyalist Space Marines also started to stir.

"Don't believe him, my lord." Eb pointed at Liu Haodong and roared: "The World Eater, who was loyal to the Emperor, has long been buried in the betrayal of Istvaan III. He is deceiving Lord Yin!"

Other Loyalist Space Marines echoed.

Facing the restless crowd, Guilliman solemnly said: "Lewis' loyalty is unquestionable. He did not participate in Istvaan III. He only entered the World Eaters Legion as a supplementary recruit after the end of Istvaan V. "

"When he was assigned to the branch fleet that attacked Ultramar, he single-handedly united with the recruits loyal to my father, found an opportunity to successfully assassinate the commander of the fleet, and then united with the planet garrison that the rebels were preparing to attack. Killed all the rebels in the branch fleet in one fell swoop.”

All the loyal Space Marines present believed that Guilliman was a fantasy.

What the original body said seemed easy to hear, but every single thing in the words was not easy to complete.

Unite the recruits who are loyal to the Emperor. They are already in the rebel fleet at the time. Who can guarantee that these recruits are loyal to the Emperor? As long as one person betrays, everything is over.

As for assassinating the fleet commander, is the fleet commander so easy to assassinate? Do you really think that the commander’s guards are all just doing nothing? Leading a group of new recruits to assassinate the commander's experienced escort?

It is easy to garrison the United Planets, but how to kill all the rebels in one fell swoop?

Without the success of the first two things, killing all the rebels in one fell swoop would be funnier than a joke.

Anyone with a little military experience could guess this kind of thing, but because it was the Primarch Guilliman who spoke, no one else said it.

"I know this is difficult." Guilliman glanced at everyone and took in their expressions. "I also understand your doubts. This matter has already happened. There are many details in it, but now it is obvious that Not the place to go into detail.”

The Primarch's words silenced all the loyalists.

Guilliman said to Eb again: "I will not joke with my brother's life. I can tell you this only because it has been confirmed repeatedly. Do you understand?"

"...I understand, sir." Eb lowered his head and said solemnly: "Before returning to Lord Corax, my troops will be loyal to you. I have no other choice but to fight side by side with Ultramar and destroy the rebels. What you want.”

"Welcome, Veranor Ebb." Guilliman patted Veranor Ebb's shoulder armor again, and then walked towards the next warrior wearing the Iron Hands livery.

And Ebu's eyes were focused on Liu Haodong for a long time.

Guilliman expressed his grief to the Space Marines of the Iron Hands, who had lost their genetic father and Guilliman had lost his brother.

The Salamanders firmly believed that Volkan was still alive, but like the Iron Hands, they chose to be loyal to Guilliman and fight against the rebels.

When Guilliman came to the Imperial Fists, the content of the conversation had also changed.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind Guilliman's words made many people understand what the original body wanted to express.

"Polux, until men of higher rank than me arrive at Macragge, command is in my hands, and I intend to make the most of it. We must allow the Empire to survive. Suspicion and hesitation are very inappropriate at this time. "

Pollax is the captain of the Imperial Fists Legion. His height completely surpasses Auguston, the tallest First Chapter Master of the Ultramarines Legion.

"What have you done, my lord?" Polux stared straight at Guilliman and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I am defending the Five Hundred Worlds, Pollax." Guilliman did not avoid Pollax's gaze, and said frankly: "If Terra is gone, I will anchor the remains of the Empire in Macragge. , we have a beacon, a relatively safe navigation channel, and an opportunity to regroup properly."

"This is the Empire in every sense of the word."

"Then what have you become?" Pollax asked: "Our Emperor?"

"I have no intention of inheriting any title," Guilliman said with a hint of shock: "Until we get the exact information, all this is just a hypothesis, but if my father dies and I am the last loyalist alive, Primarch, then yes, I am the Empire."

"Under these conditions, I will be loyal to you, sir." Pollax said.

After a few more words, Guilliman moved on to the next person.

Pollacks obviously had something to say, but for some reason he restrained his desire to continue speaking.

Liu Haodong's eyes were full of brilliance, and at the same time he thought in his heart: Did the Second Empire start from here?

No, this is just Guilliman officially proposing the idea of ​​a Second Empire.

The true establishment of the Second Empire should have been determined only after the arrival of the Archangel Sanguinius. After all, neither Guilliman nor Lion were suitable to be the emperors of the Second Empire, but Sanguinius had no such concerns. .

Although Liu Haodong didn't understand why Sanguinius didn't have this concern?
