Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 596 Lion King: Damn it, let’s have a fight between men!
Silent forest.

The heavy footsteps of Leon and others as well as the Extinction Mechas echoed in the forest and spread to a farther direction.

All the creatures in the forest, including the brutal beasts, dared not approach this death-like army that brought vicious killings.

"Zabriel, what is the greatest threat to the Empire? I mean the enemies from the galaxy."

Leon suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something.

After he took control of a powerful legion, he had the energy to think about more problems, such as dealing with the enemies that invaded Vostronia, or dealing with the hidden dangers of the empire in the galaxy.

Zabril thought for a moment and said cautiously:
"The greatest external threat to the Empire right now is probably the Great Plunderer, Chaos Warmaster Abaddon.

Over the past ten thousand years, he has repeatedly plundered the empire, launched numerous expeditions and massacres, and caused great damage to the empire."

The heir of the Lion had heard of the terrible deeds of the Chaos Warmaster before the Great Rift, and few could resist him.

Even the occurrence of the big rift is inseparable from the other party.

"Abaddon?"

Leon looked at his offspring with some confusion: "Ezekiel Abaddon, the captain of Horus's company, has he survived until now?"

If he understood correctly, Abaddon had lived from ten thousand years ago to the present, which was an unimaginable lifespan for a Space Marine.

Even as the original body, the lion himself could not say that he could live for more than ten thousand years, and he was also aging in his sleep.

"Yes, Abaddon lived for ten thousand years. The evil god of the warp gave him abominable power, allowing him to live in an ugly way."

Zabril nodded. "Even if we exclude all the rumors and exaggerations, from what I know, he gained the power of a Primarch and destroyed Cadia, an extremely important Imperial fortress."

"The power of the Primarch?"

Hearing this, Leon did not have too many worries, but just sneered: "Let's wait until we finish dealing with the things at hand, and then we will take care of Horus's good son."

The power of blasphemy was certainly alarming, but it wasn't enough to scare him.

As the primarch, the lion could not possibly be afraid of a brother's son, let alone think that the other party could be his rival.

His primarch brothers are no longer here, some are dead, some have disappeared, and some have already rebelled.

After he accepted his nature, he vaguely felt that no one in the empire or even in the galaxy could defeat him.

Including the savior.

He always felt that the original identity of the Savior was questionable.

The real enemy that the Lion envisioned was the fallen brother in his dream, a Primarch who was transformed into an ugly demon by the blasphemous power.

But he never saw the other person clearly.

"Horus, is that you, my former brother..."

There was a hint of sharpness in Leon's eyes, and a faint expectation arose in his heart.

The Lion hoped that the Primarch who appeared in the dream warning was the Luna Wolf, the former Imperial Warmaster.

In this way, he could fight him again and defeat him severely to make up for the regret of missing the siege of Terra and failing to show loyalty ten thousand years ago.

He wanted to let his father, the emperor, see his true abilities.

When Leon was thinking about this, he thought of his original dream again -

On the planet on the verge of destruction, the Fallen Primarch destroyed the huge space fortress, tore apart the ships, and even smashed the giant meteorite with a single punch.

The realistic scene and its extremely intimidating power made him worry.

According to the images that appeared in the dream, that guy's power far exceeded that of the original body, almost to the point of being incomprehensible.

"Even my former father couldn't do such a thing, right?" Leon thought to himself.

If even the emperor couldn't do it, there was no way he could do it.

A top-level psyker could tear apart a Titan or a ship, and he might be able to do the same with his weapons and equipment.

But directly destroying and tearing apart a space fortress is still too exaggerated.

He was more inclined to believe that it was just an exaggeration of the dream and a mere warning.

Rather than the real facts.

"That guy can't be that powerful, even if he is Horus."

Leon smiled self-deprecatingly.

To make a fuss over a mere dream was not the character of a Caliban knight.

All he had to do was find his enemy and draw his sword.

Gradually, the lion noticed the changes in the Caliban Forest, from a dense jungle to towering giant redwoods.

That means they have arrived at a new destination.

But he also noticed something was wrong: "Isn't Vostronia a heavy industrial area? How could there be such a tall forest area?"

According to the latest information, Vostroya itself is a barren world, and its natural and mineral resources have long been exhausted.

Coupled with thousands of years of industrial pollution, large areas have become desolate places where even animals and plants no longer exist.

Apart from industrial areas, most humans can only live in a lightly polluted area in the equatorial zone, and even their food and water depend on the supply of surrounding planets.

That is the norm in the imperial industrial world.

Judging from these data, it is impossible for him and his companions to have arrived in Vostronia, but in another area.

"Zabriel, check the data to see what this place is. I don't think it's Vostronia, absolutely not."

Leon said slowly.

Today, the empire's detection equipment is much more advanced than it was ten thousand years ago, and the database is more complete, so it can determine the planet where the army is located through some data comparison.

He somewhat suspected that it was the Savior's strange drilling machine that affected the original road in Caliban Forest.

Thus, an error occurred.

Drop drop-

"Okay, Your Highness. I'll be able to give you the results soon."

Zabril took out a large auspicious instrument and began to detect relevant data, which would be compared with the planets in the database.

Thus getting the answer.

Generally the error will not be too large, but it is limited to the main star regions in the Hazy Star Region that are controlled by the Empire.

"Emperor, I hope this is an industrial world, at least with an orbital port."

Leon looked at the giant redwoods and the auspicious instrument around him, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After waking up, the lion was stranded in a wilderness area to survive and almost suffered mental trauma.

He didn't want to be stranded in the barbaric world again, and he didn't want to accept supplies from the savior in distress again.

That's a bad feeling.

And that would mean that I would have made a wasted trip and would have to start all over again.

The best outcome is that this is a planet belonging to the Vostronia Pan-Stellar region, rather than some other unknown place.

“Your Highness, this planet is a jungle world in the Ocassidy sector—Urla.

It was once destroyed in the Second Tyrannic War. After the war, the Empire relocated a group of people back to settle down and resume construction.

Unfortunately, this world has never been able to develop, and was even punished by the Empire because of the tithe.

This will cause the population to decline further.”

Zabril briefly introduced the situation on the planet, and then gave the answer the lion needed:

"There is a small skyport in orbit around Urla.

More importantly, the planet is only two star regions away from the Vostronia Pan-Star Region, which should be considered good news."

However, before he could finish his words, there was a violent tremor and roar from the ground, and more explosions occurred one after another.

The accumulated leaf debris on the crown of the giant sequoia fell down with a rustling sound.

That was obviously not an ordinary movement, but the vibration caused by large machinery.

This made everyone a little surprised and confused.

"Titan, that's the sound made by the Imperial Titan Divine Machine."

Leon gave the answer with a serious look on his face.

He had commanded the deployment of Titans and coordinated operations many times, so he was naturally able to keenly perceive the impact caused by the activities of Titans.

That also means a large-scale war on the planet.

According to past experience, the Empire would only deploy its precious Titans when the war reached a fever pitch and encountered insurmountable obstacles.

"Warriors, prepare for battle!"

Leon took a deep breath, fortunately they arrived in time.

The extermination robots under his command can clear out the enemies of humanity on the planet better than the Titan machines.

Afterwards, the lion rushed out of the jungle at the fastest speed, and the Extinction Mechas followed closely behind and also entered combat mode.

They are even faster than other Space Marines!

bang——

The lion's huge body leaped out from the forest of giant trees and fell to the ground from a height of more than 20 meters, forming huge cracks under its feet.

Possessing immense power.

He also saw the four or five warlord-level Titan machines that were making the noise, as well as the red banners floating in the air:

Keep safety in mind, for yourself, your family and your savior!

Careful organization, scientific construction, high quality and high efficiency, building quality products!
Safety depends on you and me, happiness depends on everyone!
and many more.

Not only that, even the Titan machines had similar banners hanging on them, with various slogan-like phrases written on them.

??? Leon and his bloodline descendants who came over felt a little numb when they saw this scene.

My head is buzzing.

What’s going on? Where are the honor flags and burqas on the Titan? Why were they replaced with these things?

And what are these holy machines doing, standing in the mud and digging holes?!

"Emperor's warriors, no outsiders are allowed to enter the construction site. Please take your machines and leave in an orderly manner. We will have special personnel to communicate with you."

At this time, a human voice came from the sound generator in the air, and it seemed quite worried.

“This is… a construction site?!”

Hearing this, Leon looked up and saw a large sign erected in front of him - a civilized construction notice board.

The construction unit marked above is: Savior Engineering Department 134th Construction Group Urla Project Department, and the person in charge of the construction area is Pickel McCa.

In addition, there is some other related information.

The lion and his offspring looked at the Titan machines that were humming and working around them, feeling incomprehensible and shocked.

What happened to this world? !

They couldn't imagine what kind of existence would be willing to invest the Titan machine in the construction site.

Such a huge and sacred mechanical creation should not be kept in a hangar, anointed with holy oil, chanted with hymns, and carefully maintained.

Then, when the empire is most in need, will it be sent to the battlefield to destroy the enemies of humanity with its unstoppable and deadly firepower?
Why are these sacred creatures sent to a construction site to do the plastering?!
"Savior, you, you bastard..."

Leon's heart was trembling, and a feeling of heartache arose spontaneously.

That guy was so extravagant and wasteful that he even squandered the empire's precious war resources.

He even suspected that if the savior obtained the Extermination Machine Corps, he would use them as workers.

It’s simply unreasonable!
"Warriors of the Emperor, please stay where you are!"

A transport vehicle stopped not far away, and Pickle McCa ran over, sweating profusely.

His face was full of worry.

I have finally got the position of engineering supervisor in the construction group. If any safety accident or special accident happens, I will be too embarrassed to go back to see my grandfather.

His grandfather, the first miner of the planet Ers and the worker representative who had been received by the Savior, would surely scold him bitterly.

Said he was destroying the long-standing honor of the Macka family.

When the Construction Group resumes construction on the target planet, it always encounters various unexpected situations.

For example, they encountered attacks or dug up dangerous objects. The neighboring group even dug up a tomb of undead, which almost caused serious casualties.

This time, he encountered unknown Imperial Space Marines that suddenly appeared, as well as a bunch of machines that looked very old.

If it is not handled properly, it may cause an accident.

Fortunately, these Imperial Space Marines seemed to have no ill intentions.

"Are you the engineering director of the Savior's Territory?"

Leon looked at the mortal official in front of him and introduced himself: "I am the Dark Angel, the descendant of the lion, and I am performing a special mission on this planet.

We have no ill intentions.”

The lion did not reveal his original identity and related information.

He didn't know what attitude the Savior and the forces under his command would have towards a Primarch, or whether they would prepare countermeasures in advance.

Perhaps it would be better to meet him in person as a Dark Angel and communicate in detail.

It was like a surprise meeting.

“I’m Little McCa, and my grandfather is Old McCa, but people don’t make that clear distinction, so you can just call me McCa.

God forbid, I have any right to interfere with your mission.

But considering the current situation, perhaps you should go meet the person in charge of this planet, the Primarch..."

Before the engineering director could finish his words, the lion said as if giving an order: "McKa, then take me to see your highest leader, a Primarch."

He was also somewhat impatient to meet the savior.

After that, Leon fell silent and no longer revealed any information.

He asked his bloodline descendants and the extinction mechas to return to the jungle and wait, while he took Zabriel to see the savior.

Since the savior is here, the planet must be safe, and he is not worried about facing any danger.

Or maybe it's the savior we should worry about.

There's a high probability that the guy will meet me under heavy siege, right?

Leon thought about it, and under the guidance of engineering supervisor Maca, he walked towards the small shuttle parked outside the construction site.

"Your Excellency the Dark Angel."

At this time, Maika spoke with some embarrassment, pointing to the white helmet on his head:

“We are about to pass through a construction area and everyone needs to wear hard hats, otherwise it will be against regulations.

According to the safety production regulations issued by the Engineering Department, anyone who is not wearing a safety helmet cannot enter the core construction area. If I am found, I will be in trouble. "

???

Leon looked at the engineering supervisor, somewhat puzzled: "Are you saying that even the Emperor Angels must enforce this rule when they enter the construction site?"

The Space Marine's helmet can withstand high-intensity impacts, which is simply incomparable to the so-called safety helmet.

"Yes, the Emperor's Angels must also wear safety helmets when entering the construction site."

Macka said with great conviction as he pointed to a safety regulations diagram not far away, which happened to be a diagram of a Space Marine wearing a helmet.

It's basically just putting a hat on the helmet, and it also has special markings on related matters.

Then he added: "Even if His Majesty the Savior comes in, it will be the same."

Behind any weird regulation, there are lessons learned from blood and tears.

In the past, when Space Marines came in, there was no need for security measures.

The reason why the Construction Group under the Engineering Department added this rule is because a Space Marine was patrolling the construction site without a helmet or a hard hat.

Then the unlucky guy had his head smashed by the parts that broke out of the Titan Machine, and his soul returned to the throne on the spot.

This major accident caused quite a stir, and the Construction Group was also held responsible to a certain extent if the Space Marine had worn a helmet or a safety helmet.

Maybe he wouldn't have died.

Because the disposable force field on the helmet can protect the wearer's safety when a crisis comes.

After the construction group was criticized, it added these regulations to avoid greater liability.

Soon, Lion and Zabriel put on the red hard hats used by safety officers and followed the white-hatted engineering supervisor across the construction site.

They then boarded the shuttle and headed to the city area to meet the Primarch.

Inside the cabin.

The lion and Zabriel looked at the scene outside in silence.

Because when they passed the area where the workers were resting, they found that the food for these workers was better than that for the Caliban Knights.

And the accommodation conditions are much better than those of the people of Caliban.

Of course, the reason for this is mainly because the empire’s bottom line is too low. As long as a planet can be fed with corpse starch, it is considered a harmonious and beautiful planet.

But this discovery still makes the lion feel frustrated.

"Did father really allow that guy to do this?"

Suddenly, Leon saw the statue of the Savior erected in the center of the city, and said with gritted teeth.

That is not imitation, but a one-to-one copy of the emperor, and the savior's face and body curves have been especially beautified.

More sacred and majestic than the previous imperial statues.

This made him somewhat dissatisfied.

The shuttle did not go to the apron, but drove directly to a large square.

Afterwards, Lion met the tall Primarch with a hint of dissatisfaction and expectation.

The Primarch came forward, surrounded by the Guards.

He had a golden iron halo on his head, his whole body was filled with light, and he was wearing a blue primarch armor, looking so majestic.

"Robert?"

Lion looked at the familiar Primarch approaching, and was stunned for a moment, lost in confusion.

Wasn't this annoying guy dead? Why is he jumping around in front of me again? !

After he learned that Guilliman was dead, he was sad for a while, but after seeing the real person, the hatred he once had surged into his heart again.

Some of it ruined the joy of the brothers' reunion.

Guilliman also discovered the presence of the Lion.

He stopped and said in a teasing voice: "Long time no see, Leon, it seems that you are not doing well..."

Leon clenched his fists as he looked at this self-righteous jerk.

He thought of the feud between the two, especially that damned Codex Astartes and the dismantled First Legion.

and the subsequent fall of the empire.

The anger within this being began to burn.

"You self-righteous... bastard!"

The lion roared and pounced towards Guilliman.
