Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 575 Lion King: Not bad, let the savior come out to see me!

"Ron Grant... the savior, the emperor of the empire?!"

Leon looked at the words on the flag of honor and his eyes suddenly became stern.

He knew what the words with the Imperial Eagle and seal on the flag of honor meant.

The guy called the Savior may have won the political struggle on Terra, occupied the authority of the throne world, and grasped the power of the empire.

If this is the case, the situation is not too bad. The empire still has a beating central heart that can maintain the dilapidated situation to a certain extent.

At least it's better than getting into chaos.

Of course, there is another possibility, that guy betrayed the empire and created another imperial regime, and the Third Reich rose in a period of darkness and chaos.

The Third Reich?!
When Leon thought of this term, his eyes became more serious.

His tone was a little bad: "Zabriel, have you heard about Ron Grant's deeds? When did our empire have a new emperor?"

"Your Highness, I have never heard of this name."

Zabril stared at the flag of honor, also somewhat dissatisfied:

"At least I had never heard of him before I fell into the profane space. Maybe he is an ambitious person who has risen in recent years, or a daring traitor."

After the fall of Caliban, a warp storm quickly swept through the space they were in, confusing time.

Zabril and other fallen angels only returned to the galactic reality four hundred years ago, and then kept fleeing to avoid the pursuit of the Dark Angels until he was caught in turbulence again and fell on this planet.

During this time, he had never heard of the savior Ron Grant.

The heir of the Lion King did not have much affection for the so-called savior.

That guy is too arrogant. He even dares to call himself the savior and the emperor of the empire.

Within the territory of the Empire, almost no one dares to do this. There is only one emperor recognized by the Empire, and that is the father of the Primarchs, the Lord of Mankind - the Emperor!
Not only the heir of the Lion King, but also the First Primarch, the Lion, disliked the guy he had never met, and even found him a little annoying.

Even when he started the Second Empire with Guilliman, Sanguinius and others, he only dared to call himself regent and did not dare to touch that title.

As long as the emperor is still on the golden throne, who dares to call himself "emperor" and wear the crown?
Now, that person actually dared to crown himself openly, which was obviously beyond common sense.

"Could it be that Father...really had some kind of problem, or is he completely dead?!"

Such a thought suddenly popped up in Leon's mind, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and there were tears in his eyes.

His desire to go to Terra became stronger.

"…To see my father, I must go to see my father!"

The First Primarch thought to himself, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and did not show his vulnerability in front of others.

Now he is the only hope of the empire and cannot tolerate any weakness!
"Your Highness, maybe that's just some madman's self-entertainment. We don't need to worry about it."

Zabriel seemed to notice that the Gene Father was in a bad mood and said so.

"Well, there is a possibility."

Leon nodded, he also thought of this possibility.

After all, there are such words in the title of the Banner of Honor - Primarch of Hope, Primarch of Invincibility, etc.

The invincible Primarch, the invincible one among the Primarchs? !

He didn't remember that he had such a Primarch brother, whether it was the well-known Primarch or the two obscure and unmentionable brothers.

There was no one named Ron, let alone any hope for a Primarch.

Leon thought of something and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Perhaps the guy named Ron Grant saw the legendary deeds of himself and his brother in some forbidden books, so he made up an identity to deceive people.

During the Great Crusade, he led his army to fight among the stars, and he had also seen those fools and lunatics who lived in seclusion in a corner and called themselves emperors.

But they were soon pulled off the throne and made to kneel before him and swear allegiance, not daring to show any resistance.

What Leon didn't say was that he inexplicably felt cautious about the guy on the flag of honor.

Not sure if it was because of the other party's arrogant behavior of calling himself emperor, or the golden lion badge that was similar to his own, but Leon subtly labeled Ron Grant a "nasty guy" in his heart.

Second only to that self-righteous guy Robert Guilliman in terms of annoyingness.

Ever since learning the news of the Ultimate Primarch's death, the First Primarch has been secretly criticizing him from time to time. It is unknown whether it is because he missed his brother or for some other reason.

"Let's go, let's go meet the so-called savior, the emperor of the empire, if that guy is still here."

Leon smiled.

He planned to meet the savior, have a good chat with him, and let him know the rules of the empire.

Of course, if the savior did not betray the empire or commit an unforgivable crime, but was just an ignorant guy, he would not kill him or anything.

The most we can do is to order the other party to be stripped of his arrogant title and get back on the right track.

That guy is lucky to have met himself today. If it were his former self or other primarch brothers with bad temper.

He would have rushed in and chopped off the head of this guy who dared to offend his father and called himself emperor.

Over the years, the First Primarch had committed too many killings out of anger and misunderstanding. Now he had become much calmer and more patient.

Unless necessary, he would not kill any of the empire's existence, but would try his best to unite them to save this empire that was on the verge of collapse.

"My father, the Emperor, was a ruthless conqueror, so I followed him and became a conqueror, but that is not my nature."

Leon thought so.

He will hunt down any enemy of humanity, but will not use force to demand allegiance or worship from the people of Kamas or any other world.

At most, he would deal with the existence that oppressed them. As for whether the people of the empire would follow him, it all depends on them.

This is the confidence of the First Primarch, the Lion. It does not require any harsh threats or demands. People will follow him naturally. It has always been like this.

To put it simply, it means relying on personal charm and domineering aura to attract people to follow, rather than being like the emperors of the past who prospered when they obeyed and perished when they disobeyed.

There are too many examples that prove the leadership ability of the lion.

Soon, it will also include the so-called "Primarch" savior of hope.

"Tell those inside that the First Primarch of the Imperium, the Lion of the First Legion, has arrived."

Lion strode towards the area of ​​the fortress walls, without the slightest worry that this little defense would not be able to stop a Primarch.

The people of this tribe are not crazy enough to open fire on the Primarch of the Empire, their guardian.

Zabriel quickened his pace and tried to communicate with the tribesmen on the city wall to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

However, before he could say anything, he suddenly stopped.

Because the mechanical heavy artillery defense on the fortress wall has been fully activated, and the muzzle is aimed at the Lion King and the support team behind him.

This made the situation tense, and the Iron Knights drew their swords and prepared to fight, but it was of no avail.

"Master Lion, can you destroy those strange things?"

Hada and other Iron Knights looked up at the long mechanical monster on the city wall and swallowed.

Even if they are strong-willed, they still feel nervous and afraid when faced with unknown and unfamiliar things.

???

"What's wrong with those guys? Do they really want to attack us, or is this some kind of deterrent?"

Leon frowned when he saw this scene.

He glanced at the knights behind him, drew his sword slightly, and prepared to rush to the fortress wall to destroy the mechanical heavy artillery on it.

At that time, the Knights will be able to cooperate and rush in to control the situation.

So as to avoid too much killing.

Fortunately, the mechanical heavy artillery on the fortress wall was only on alert and showed no signs of attack, and soon stopped warming up after intervention.

Then the wooden and concrete gate on the other side of the fortress wall opened, as if to welcome them in.

"It seems that guy is intimidating me."

Leon thought so.

He didn't have much anger, it wasn't worth a Primarch's anger.

Leon ordered the knights to reorganize their ranks and escort him to the city wall, which was the attitude that a legion commander should have.

If conditions permit, he will also arrange for personal guards and ceremonial teams wearing gorgeous armor to demonstrate the commander's majesty.

This is crucial for commanding the army and is also a sign of respect for the person you are meeting.

But this is obviously impossible in the current environment, and we can only use the Iron Knights as personal guards.

Leon felt a little curious.

The savior built a fortress wall at an extremely fast speed.

He wanted to see what the other party was capable of and whether he could organize the tribesmen and train them into an army.

According to the search of instruments inside the armor, there are no signs of large vehicles or ships nearby.

Perhaps the other person was also stranded on this planet like himself.

If the savior is capable, you can consider giving him more glory and let him follow you to fight.

However, the next moment, Leon saw an unexpected scene, and his pupils trembled slightly:
"Those are... Space Marines, no, they are more like Solar Auxilia?!"

I saw an army slowly walking out of the city gate, with an amazing momentum. At the front of the army were two bipedal sentinel mechas, which were considered to be quite good ground vehicles in the Imperial Guard, responsible for reconnaissance, search or annihilation missions.

The two Sentinel mechas were taller and heavier than regular Imperial Sentinels. Every step they took made a heavy muffled sound. They had a dark blue coating on the outside and were equipped with hot-melt weapons.

Showing their power and extraordinaryness.

What surprised Leon even more was that the twenty soldiers in full-armor, blue coating behind the Sentinel mecha had an appearance similar to that of power armor, but more rounded.

And it has a powerful power system.

They are slightly shorter than the Space Marines, but more imposing than the armored Solar Auxiliaries.

Everyone holds a bolter and looks very capable in combat.

As for the back of the fully armored warriors, there were more than a hundred ordinary Imperial Guard soldiers, but they were also wearing full sets of armor and equipped with a variety of weapons.

Even hot melt has it.

Even among the Imperial Guard, this army is considered to be very luxurious, except that the formation is a bit irregular.

Roar--

As soon as the army marched out, something strange happened to the pile of corpses at the base of the fortress wall.

More than twenty distorted predators that had been playing dead and hiding rushed out and pounced on the army.

However, that army reacted faster. Two Sentinel mechas stepped forward to block the attack, sweeping several distorted predators with molten flames.

The high temperature flames instantly burned the distorted predator into charred residue, without even having time to let out a wail.

The formation of the twenty fully armored warriors was a little messy, but they calmly stepped forward to kill the deformed predators with bolters and chainswords.

Flesh and blood splattered.

Even the claws and stingers of the deformed predators could hardly penetrate their thick armor.

It's simply a scaled-down version of the Space Marine, with amazing combat power!
"Your Highness, what exactly are those combat units?"

Zabriel looked at the twenty armored warriors with a serious look.

He could feel that if these warriors united, they could cause serious harm to him.

"Don't you know either?"

Leon shook his head, becoming even more curious: “That should be the empire’s newest combat unit, perhaps the work of the savior.

I am becoming more and more interested in him.”

He was somewhat happy in his heart. The empire had new power, which was commendable.

Unfortunately, judging from the appearance of these armors, they should be very expensive and cannot be used on the battlefield on a large scale.

Perhaps that was the private army that the Savior had built for himself, imitating the Space Marines.

The number should not be large.

Soon, the army dealt with the distorted predators and headed towards this side again.

Leon looked at the powerful and luxurious army belonging to the Savior, then looked back at the disheveled and dirty Iron Knights behind him.

I suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

The Savior's powerful imperial army formed a sharp contrast with his primitive feudal knights, making the Lion's side look somewhat miserable.

Their knight army was too dirty and ragged, and they were dragging a large pile of steel parts, like they were picking up scraps.

Although both of them were stranded on a primitive planet, the gap between them is quite big!
We have just started communicating and I have already lost the game in terms of momentum. I am afraid it will be difficult to continue the communication later.

Leon looked at the city gate in the distance again, but still did not see the savior. Normally, in this situation, the coaches of both sides should come out to meet.

To show respect.

The First Primarch still handles things in the style of the previous Knights of Caliban and does not ignore etiquette.

But now, the savior has not appeared. How arrogant!

"Soldier, let your savior come out to me."

Leon took a deep breath and held himself back from taking another step forward.

Although I have lost a game so far, I will definitely be able to turn the situation around later.

He hadn't felt this frustrated in a long time.

"Savior?"

"Oh, praise the Savior!"

"Your Majesty the Savior is omnipotent. He has given us weapons and armor so that we can resist monsters!"

The words of the First Primarch were like triggering a key word.

The savior army composed of tribal people began to pray and even thanked the savior for his kindness and generosity.

Leon's eyelids twitched when he heard the words "Your Majesty" and "Praise".

What shocked him even more was that the applicability of the Savior's equipment allowed the tribesmen to learn and adapt to these weapons, armor and vehicles in just one month.

It can also be used for coordinated combat.

“Is the savior among our tribe?”

Zabriel came out to ask, the heir of the Lion King was more familiar with these tribesmen, so communication was easier.

"Master Guardian, the Savior is in heaven, how could he be in our tribe?"

One tribesman said so.

The other tribesmen nodded and started a new round of praise.

According to them.

These weapons and equipment suddenly fell from the sky a month ago, hitting the tribe and scaring many people.

Then they picked it up and used it.

"Heh, it seems that guy is not on this planet. Maybe his ship encountered space turbulence, causing the equipment in the ship's warehouse to fall here."

Leon felt a little gloating, but also a little regretful. The other party must have suffered heavy losses, and he didn't know whether he was still alive.

"No, this... new guardian, those equipment and supplies were specially given to us by His Majesty the Savior. He said that we are all his people and he will protect us."

However, the tribesmen's statements overturned the First Primarch's prediction.

However, the facts described by these tribesmen are somewhat fragmented and full of religious worship and fantasy.

There was no way to piece together the truth of the matter, except that those things fell from the sky and were easy to use.

For example, for that big machine, they studied the operation from the booklet and listened to the instructions, and soon they were able to spray out a lot of gray mud and water, and build the city wall.

Anyway, it can't have grown in the jungle.

"We can only investigate slowly."

Leon thought so after patiently listening to the tribesmen's confusing narration.

"New Guardian, what are you doing here with your army?"

The tribesman, who was wearing universal combat armor for mortals, looked at the unusually tall warrior with awe and curiosity.

Due to the existence of the previous guardian, they also respect Leon.

So when the tribesmen saw Leon and others, they immediately hurriedly turned off their cannons and ran out to support them.

These words choked Leon.

He felt embarrassed as he looked at the Iron Knights behind him who seemed to have just entered the city and were a little nervous and curious.

You can't say you're here to rescue people, right?

Their city walls, fortresses, weapons and equipment do not require any support at all, and they are able to defeat the Iron Knights of his own organization.

Even during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, it was a very good military configuration.

Although the savior has not yet appeared, he has inexplicably overshadowed the lion's fame and momentum.

It made him feel like he had power but nowhere to use it.

Leon was silent for a few seconds, then squeezed out a sentence: "We came here to deliver food. Let's go into the tribe first..."

He mentioned it casually, ended the topic, and became aloof.

In fact, Leon was a little tired and didn't want to talk anymore.

Food is extremely scarce in this world.

Fortunately, he successfully transported more than a hundred truckloads of precious food here, and was able to provide the necessary help to the tribesmen so that they would not be in such an embarrassing situation.

Otherwise, if they don't want military support and don't have anything else to help with, you would come here with empty hands and a thick face to ask them to follow you.

How embarrassing is that?

The tribesmen were thinking of something and wanted to say something, but when they saw that the guardian ignored them, they didn't say anything.

Soon, they led Leon and others into the interior of the fortress wall...
