Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 572: Lion King: The Divine Emperor? He is just a fool!

Kamaz.

The forest was silent.

The sickly, withered giant trees reached straight into the sky, much taller than the skyscrapers, almost blocking out all the sunlight.

bang~
The lion king Leon used a jumping backpack to jump between the giant branches, climbing up continuously, standing firmly on the highest branch and looking into the distance.

However, within his field of vision, there was still an endless sea of ​​forest, and the sky was also obscured by unknown fog.

Even the air was strange, without the smell of the jungle.

It was a foul smell, as if everything was gradually falling into decay, rotting and stinking.

It's so disgusting that it's unbearable.

"Something went wrong in the world and things changed."

The Lion King thought so.

In his remaining memories, he had never seen such a strange world.

After looking for a while, the lion king came to no conclusion and jumped down from the high branch.

He fell from mid-air like a cannonball, and only activated the backpack's buffer when he was close to the ground.

Landed successfully.

The whole set of movements is so gorgeous and imposing, like a mighty and majestic angel descending to the earth.

This great warrior knows how to present himself and impress others.

Make them surrender.

Sutiko, the elder of the jungle tribe, looked at it nervously until he saw the guardian's figure reappear, and then he finally felt relieved.

He was somewhat worried that the guardian would leave and no longer protect the tribe.

"Great and merciful God-Emperor, loyal believers are grateful for your gift and have granted us a new guardian.

Save us lost lambs."

Sutiko prayed in broken High Gothic with an extremely pious expression.

He is a loyal follower of the Emperor.

It is said that before the blood moon and the disaster, his family was the nobles on this planet and held the power of sacrifice.

Sadly, all of this has vanished into thin air.

Everyone became a refugee in the forest. Cities were swallowed up, civilizations were destroyed, and many people born in the forest were not even literate.

This elder also learned some of the remnants of the past from the remaining scriptures.

"What is the God Emperor?"

The lion king seemed to have heard the elder's prayer and suddenly asked.

"He is the Emperor, the Divine Immortal Lord of Mankind, the Great Deity, the Father Almighty.

He is the eternally burning sun, whose golden rays penetrate the fog, and whose divine will illuminates the darkness of the world..."

Sutiko's expression became enthusiastic, as if he was reciting:
“We, humble and feeble souls, are made to stand by His grace and to breathe by His sacrifice.

He protects us all!"

However, the elder's piety brought dissatisfaction from the guardian.

"Humph, you are just a playboy. There is no so-called God in this world."

The Lion King listened to the name that seemed familiar and sneered:

“What’s more, he doesn’t seem to be able to protect this world, otherwise how could you have fallen into such a situation?
An incompetent fellow who does not deserve any admiration."

He never believed in the existence of gods. It was just some stupid superstition, like some stupid religion created by some bastards.

"Master Guardian, you must not..."

Sutiko was a little anxious and tried to stop the tall warrior from blaspheming the omniscient and omnipotent being.

But before he could finish his words, he was stopped by a lion-like, majestic gaze, and he dared not say another word.

"I don't want to hear that name again."

The Lion King's tone was irrefutable, as if he was issuing an order that could not be disobeyed:

“Instead of begging for mercy from the gods, you should hold your weapons tightly. I did promise to save you.

But I only save those brave men who dare to fight for their own destiny—not the cowards who sit and wait for charity!"

This great warrior has no fear of the so-called God-Emperor or gods.

Even if those guys who are good at fooling life really exist, if they dare to appear in this world and dare to come before me.

He will use his fists to let his opponent know what a real warrior is!

After the Lion King finished speaking, he crushed the poisonous insect that was lurking and trying to attack him secretly, and walked straight towards the tribe.

Sutiko hurriedly followed with his head down. The elder could not think of any rebuttal in front of the guardian.

The other person is a natural leader.

"By the way, who exactly is the guardian you are talking about?"

The Lion King did not look back.

He thought of something and continued to ask. From what he had just heard from the elder's prayer, he knew that there were more than one so-called guardian.

Sutiq introduced the information of the guardian:

A powerful being from the stars, wearing black armor with silver edges, and a holy sword engraved on his chest and left shoulder.

Before the Lion King came, Kamath had only one guardian.

Now there are two.

Because they all have tall bodies, hard, winged armor, and can easily kill mutated abominations.

"That guardian has saved many tribes since the end of the world. He is also God's... ahem, angel."

Sutiko subconsciously wanted to say the name again and pray, but fortunately he controlled himself.

If the guardian is around, he should say less. At worst, he can just pray secretly in his heart.

"There's no way this world is going to end."

The lion king shook his head and said firmly: "We are on this planet, aren't we?"

He recalled the jungle he had just woken up in. It was completely different from the mutated forests around it, but full of reality and vitality.

Although I don’t believe in God, my previous experience was still a bit strange. Perhaps it was a confused dream.

"That's just a way of describing it, Lord Guardian." Sutiko was a little embarrassed: "Our world is cracked in the sky and...

It wasn't like this before those illegitimate children arrived.

Once upon a time, Kamath was so beautiful and rich, until they distorted the entire world, including animals, plants, and even the sky.

I believe you have seen it too.”

"Whatever they are, I will destroy them. Destroy everything that poses a threat."

The Lion King's tone contained strong confidence and deterrence.

He was not afraid of any battle, and even found himself becoming stronger after waking up.

There is a repressed force stirring within my body, as if it is some kind of innate nature.

Afterwards, he learned more about the current situation of this world, such as the deformed abominations and the strange energy that could drive humans crazy.

Also, a few weeks ago, there were bursts of violent roars coming from outside the forest, and even the earth was shaking violently.

Everyone is scared.

"Perhaps, the world is about to undergo more changes, and I must take action!"

The lion king was keenly aware of the impending danger and prepared to take further action.

But it is difficult to achieve all this with the force of one person alone.

Next, he will organize all the humans in the forest, build a larger gathering place, and then train an army to eliminate the dangers in this world.

"I...seem to have done something like this."

Some incomplete images flashed through the Lion King’s vague memory.

He led many knights to fight in the jungle of a planet and eliminated all dangers in the forest.

There are also scenes where more people are kneeling down to worship themselves.

"Perhaps, I was once a commander or an emperor?"

The Lion King thought so.

He had no doubt about this, he was born with a strong will and a talent for leading people.

He will also become the king of this planet and save the human beings in this world.

Nothing can stop him!

Soon, the Lion King and the elders returned to the camp along the remaining road.

The trees here grow very fast, almost swallowing up all traces of civilization, including large buildings made of quick-drying cement and metal castings.

The scattered rusty parts occasionally seen on the ground today are proof that there was once civilization in this world.

What kind of world is there outside the forest?

The majestic warrior had some expectations, because that was where the enemies or prey were, and they were the culprits who destroyed this world.

The Lion King and his companions bypassed the majestic giant trees, passed through a narrow rock passage, and finally arrived at the gate of the tribe.

There are probably nearly a thousand people in this tribe.

Various tents made of hay and bark were crowded together in a mess.

There were so many people gathered in the tribe, but there was no singing or laughter, and all necessary communication was compressed. Even if they wanted to talk, they spoke in whispers.

Even the children did not dare to make any sound. They just sat with their heads down or paced cautiously in the camp.

Everyone was afraid of making too much noise and attracting terrible mutant predators.

This brought a devastating disaster to this tribe.

The lion king frowned.

His instinct told him that if the situation did not improve, those people's souls and bodies would slowly die.

Although these tribesmen survived, they had no hope for the future.

It's just waiting to die.

"What are you all doing here?!"

The lion's eyes swept over the group of adults huddled in the tent.

Sutiko lowered his voice and whispered:
"Master Guardian, there are more and more mutant beasts recently. No one dares to go out, and even food cannot be collected."

Now there are only a few hunters in the tribe who dare to go out to collect food.

Suddenly, the lion king's voice exploded like thunder in the deadly silent tribe. His words were heavy and hot, like a burning oath:

"Do you think you can survive by being silent? No - no one can survive in this state.

It's just a slow death."

He strode to the center of the tribe, his black armor dotted with green gleaming slightly under the campfire, like a sharp sword piercing the darkness.

The lion king's eyes slowly swept across every numb face, his voice low and majestic:
"Cowards, you keep your heads down and keep silent, curling up in the shadows and trembling like prey. Is this the way you choose to live?
Is this the future you leave for your children? "

He raised his finger and pointed at the pale and thin children in the tribe who were keeping their heads down and keeping silent: "Look at your children!

Children should be running, laughing, and fighting, not cowering like lambs to the slaughter, slowly dying of hunger.

You live in fear, but fear never lets you go. It eats away at your soul bit by bit.

Until even the last glimmer of resistance and hope for survival is completely extinguished!"

The lion king's voice suddenly rose, shaking people's hearts like a war cry:
"But today, that ends here!"

He knelt on one knee, the sword in his hand stuck into the soil, and looked at every tribesman at eye level, his eyes burning with unshakable faith:
"I...your guardian swear here that I will not lead the lambs to the slaughter. I will save you and forge you into a sharp blade to pierce the enemy!
You can remain silent, cower and die, or—"

The great warrior suddenly stood up, pointed his sword at the sky, and erupted with thunderous rage:
"stand up!

Stand up, hold your weapon tightly, fight your way out with me, and let those monsters know that humans...will never surrender!
We must either fight to victory or die in glory, but not live in fear as we do now!"

The lion king looked at all the tribesmen and made a final inquiry: "Now - who is willing to fight alongside me?!"

After he finished speaking, the entire tribe fell into silence, and still no sound was heard.

However, a glimmer of light appeared in people's numb eyes.

The flame of hope is burning.

Gradually, more and more people stood up.

They clenched the wooden spears in their hands and looked firmly at the guardian, at the leader!
When the Lion King saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.

He knew it would be like this, only humans like this were worth saving.
-
Soon after.

This tribe has undergone tremendous changes. More barriers have been built and there are many more skeletons of mutant predators around.

More and more people were rescued and joined here.

Today the tribe has a population of nearly three thousand.

In the tribe, the children shared the sour and smelly dried animal meat and played happily under the big tree.

Older children practiced chopping with heavy wooden sticks.

And from the weapons workshop deep in the tribe came the sound of clanging hammers.

They were using the iron they found to make weapons and armor.

The Guardian led them deeper into the jungle, where they found steel and tools left over from before the world was shattered.

He taught people how to forge weapons and armor and taught them the skills of knights.

Now there are nearly three hundred strong armored knights and more auxiliary troops in the tribe, who can use various weapons and traps to cooperate in hunting mutated beasts.

They even found a way to process the foul-smelling animal meat. Although the meat was still difficult to eat after processing, at least it would not be poisonous enough to kill people.

It can provide a lot of protein and energy.

"God Emperor, you sent us a true angel, and he blessed us all."

After Sutiko dealt with the affairs of the tribe and distributed food resources, he walked to the balcony of the tree house.

He looked at the Lion King who was teaching the children the art of knighthood, his eyes full of admiration.

This elder has more wisdom.

He could clearly see that the hunters of the tribe had become stronger both physically and mentally since following the angel.

That is undoubtedly a divine blessing.

Under the rule of this angel, the tribe became increasingly powerful. People no longer had to go hungry and had more weapons to protect themselves.

He believed that this leader would lead everyone to the final victory and liberate the planet.

The Lion King walked up the stairs to the balcony and accepted the elder's greeting.

He folded his arms across his chest as he looked at his newly rebuilt, vibrant territory, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

No one could build up territory and raise an army as quickly as he did.

But the next moment, he frowned and said, "Elder, the tribe needs to expand further. We must speed up and save more people."

The Lion King is not satisfied with the current stability. He must expand his territory and form more troops as soon as possible to deal with the enemies outside the forest.

Rebuild the civilization of the entire planet!
"As you wish, my Lord."

Sutiko bowed slightly.

He flipped through a booklet made of wood pulp paper, which contained a lot of information and maps found by the reconnaissance team.

"According to the news we received earlier, another guardian has also established a territory deep in the forest and is rescuing refugees from all over."

The lion king raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "That guy is quite good. I wonder how big his territory is?"

Lions always have a sense of competition. They do not allow themselves to lose to anyone and they push themselves to do things to the best of their ability.

"Perhaps the situation in their territory is not very good."

Suti Ke shook his head and said, “I heard that there is a shortage of food there, and many people are still hungry and struggling to survive.

There were also some unknown objects falling from the sky onto them, and those who escaped said that a lot of things were broken.

IMHO.

Under your guidance, we may be the most beautiful area on this miserable planet."

The Lion King nodded.

That is something that cannot be doubted.

"In two days, I will bring troops and food to aid the guardian's tribe."

The great warrior and commander of the tribe left these words and left.

Of course, the Lion King still had some things to say.

That is, he will conquer the powerful guardian and his territory, and make them submit to his own side.

The power of this planet needs to be gathered in his hands to have more chances of winning the final victory.

The Lion King has absolute confidence and no one can do better than him.

……

Two days later.

The tribe's giant wooden gate burst open, and an army of two hundred knights covered in iron armor and more auxiliary troops marched out in neat steps.

Very majestic.

The Lion King sat on the steel chariot, rumbling forward under the awe-inspiring gazes of the tribesmen.

Every time they see this several-meter-tall steel behemoth, they are amazed.

It was an agricultural vehicle from the old era, which he modified into a light tank.

Behind the Lion King and the knight army was the supply transport team. Large amounts of slightly smelly dried animal meat and edible plant roots were piled high on the wooden trailers.

That was the food they provided to the other side, nearly a hundred carts full.

"Those guys will be shocked when they see our army and abundant food, right?"

Hada, the Iron Knight who was in charge of guarding the rear of the team, looked at the army and transport team in front of him with great pride.

He learned exquisite skills from the angel, knew the horror of this knight army, and also knew how the people in this world lacked food.

Another Iron Knight nodded: "That guardian will definitely bow down before the angel!"

There is no doubt that times have changed in the jungle.

As long as these warriors in iron armor follow the angel to that territory, they will surely be able to convince everyone.

Welcome their worship.

They would be even more grateful for the rich food given to them by their own tribe, especially the sour animal meat.

The army of this tribe was full of high spirits and headed towards the territory of another guardian, killing many mutant beasts along the way.

But we are only halfway there.

They heard the explosions of unknown guns and the howling of mutant predators, and the big trees fell down with a loud bang.

The lion king looked at this scene and frowned suddenly. Those mutant predators... were running away? !
