Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 155: Secret Meeting of Imperial High Lords, Golden Age Scientists

"My Lord High Lord, this is what happened." The wandering merchant Kania came to the High Lord and briefly explained the matter.

"I understand. Please follow us, both of you! We have prepared a good guest room.

You two should take a rest today. Tomorrow we will disguise you as members of the Martian Mechanicus and enter the palace of Holy Terra." A high lord nodded to Rhodes and Helodia and led them into the city of Terra.

The size of the Terra Palace is very large, occupying all the areas around the Himalayas. (There are a few sensitive words, so I won’t type them out, but the specific size of the Terra Palace is that of a large province.)
Rhodes and Helotia were arranged in a luxurious room with a special servant at the door. The high lords were very busy and returned to their jobs immediately after receiving Rhodes and others.

The servants brought a delicious dinner and entertained Rhodes and Helotia. Since they were not the real guests but just scientists and bodyguards, the high lords did not personally host a banquet for them.

Rhodes was happy to be free. To be honest, he didn't really want to deal with these high lords!

After Guilliman woke up and returned to Terra to become the Regent, more than half of these guys were going to be killed!
"Master! What exactly are we going to do tomorrow?
Should we just do a quick inspection or repair the Golden Throne directly?" Helotia looked at Rhodes and asked.

She was absolutely confident in her level of science and technology, and had no doubt that she could repair the Golden Throne. Even without the help of the other two guys, she could repair the Golden Throne by herself.

“If it can be repaired directly tomorrow, you can help a little and restore some of the Golden Throne’s performance.

Then we have bargaining chips. Just in case, I'll give you this teleportation bracelet and captain's armor." Rhodes took out a golden teleportation bracelet and a set of captain's uniform and handed them to Helotia.

After upgrading to a medium-level mothership, Rhodes once again refreshed a set of captain equipment.

There was also a set of deputy captain's equipment, and two golden teleportation bracelets and two high-level armors for free. The old model of captain's armor was just enough for Helotia to wear.

Rhodes himself was wearing the latest mid-level mothership captain armor, which had even stronger defensive capabilities.

"I understand, Master!" Helotia nodded and said.

"Okay, go to bed early! We may be busy tomorrow."

The two looked at each other and nodded, then returned to their own rooms to rest. After traveling for several months, they finally returned to Earth to sleep. This could be considered a disguised return home for them!
In the study on the other side, the wandering merchant Kania, the imperial inquisitor Lacino, and three high lords gathered together.

"My Lords, after we arrive at Comoros City..."

Imperial Inquisitor Lacino began to tell the story of what happened after he and his companions arrived in Comoros City.

After learning how to choose a suitable repairer, I visited the competition in the arena and met the extremely powerful monster warrior.

He met this person from the Ancient Spirit Empire, tested his ability, and confirmed that he could repair the Golden Throne.

Negotiate the repair price and reach a cooperation.

The wandering trader Kania made some supplementary remarks on the side.

After arriving at Holy Terra through the Webway, he knew everything in detail. The only thing he had forgotten was that he suspected the other party's family had imprisoned the Primarch.

He would never say anything about this matter if there was no definite evidence.

Several high lords nodded. Judging from the conversation, this person from the ancient Eldar Empire was very trustworthy.

He demonstrated his family's advanced technological level by carrying them through the Webway World without asking for payment first.

"How strong are those monster warriors? How do they compare to the Astartes?" asked a high lord.

This is a serious issue. If the combat power of these monster warriors is too strong, it will create military pressure.

The Empire's military level has not improved in ten thousand years, and is even regressing. The Empire's Titans can only be manufactured by the most advanced forging worlds.

Moreover, some powerful Titan models can no longer be cast.

“My Lords, those monster warriors possess extremely powerful strength.

Even without wearing any equipment, relying solely on their own physical fitness after transformation, they are not inferior to any Astartes wearing power armor.

Moreover, after they transform, they possess extremely strong defensive power. Without wearing armor, the grenade launcher can only scratch their skin.

They can also use elemental attacks and can send out ice ray attacks.

It only takes a moment to freeze some Chaos Space Marine traitors and then smash them to pieces." Imperial Inquisitor Rashino said.

The meaning is already very clear, these monster warriors have combat power that exceeds that of ordinary Astartes.

He still had a deep memory of these monster warriors! Ever since he saw them.

He went to watch several more matches of these monster warriors and saw many new types of monster warriors.

However, the biggest threat is still the ice monster warriors, because they are too stable and can be used as mass-produced soldiers.

In his opinion, the other types of monster warriors were not much different from the flesh-and-blood monsters of the Blood Orcs, and could not pose a substantial threat to the empire.

"If that's the case, then we must be careful! But I believe that the Empire's Astartes Regiment can defeat those alien creations." A high lord said.

The other two high lords also nodded, and all the enemies of the empire could be handed over to the Astartes.

Kania, the wandering merchant standing nearby, said nothing when he heard this. These high lords really don't understand the arms race at all!

The Astartes have had this for ten thousand years, they are already obsolete.

If we still maintain this conservative thinking, we will not adapt and develop new weapons of war.

Then the empire will be destroyed sooner or later. Do these high lords still think that the empire's old stuff from ten thousand years ago can really cope with the future disaster?

“In addition to this type of monster warrior, there is also a biochemical monster mother, which is a super monster of enormous size.

Their size is no smaller than that of a Warmaster-level Titan, and some are even larger than that of a Warmaster-level Titan. "The business wanderer Kania added about these giant monsters.

He personally went to watch the first big monster fight.

With that kind of long-range ray attack, coupled with terrifying melee combat ability and defense, the Empire's Titans may not be able to deal with these big guys.

"Titan-level biological weapons! Could it be that these fallen aliens have copied the things of the Tyranids?" asked a high lord with a frown.

“My Lords, I don’t think this Titan monster will pose much of a threat.

Among the monsters that appeared, only one had the ability to fly, and they did not have any protective means such as void shields.

Facing the powerful firepower of the Imperial Titan, I don't think they are a match for the Imperial Titan." Rasino said.

That kind of ice monster warrior can be mass-produced and form a standardized army, which is the real threat.

As for those big monsters, in his opinion they were nothing more than deformed creatures of flesh and blood.

In terms of long-range firepower, it may not be stronger than Titan.

“In general, the target is indeed capable of repairing the Golden Throne and has a good attitude, which is good news.

As for the conditions proposed by the other party, they will have to wait until they have actually repaired the Golden Throne.

We will hold a meeting of high lords to discuss this matter." A high lord said.

They have no power to mobilize the Custodes, but as for the Astartes Chapters, more than 10 Astartes Chapters can be mobilized.

All high lords need to attend the meeting, and it can only be implemented if more than half of them vote in favor.

If the other party can really repair the Golden Throne, they can guarantee everything except the Imperial Guards.

“I think we might be able to try to win over the human female scientist next to this Eldar.

After all, the other party is a human being, and is likely from the Golden Age." The wandering trader Kania said.

During this period of time, he had been in contact with Lord Shafulin, and he had been asking about Helotia indirectly, and learned that this was a human from the Golden Age.

During the Golden Age of Humanity, he fell into a kind of hibernation and slept for more than 15000 years before waking up. Because of the life-saving grace, he was temporarily employed by this ancient Eldar family.

The other party may possess the top technology of the Golden Age, so it would be perfect if he could be lured to the Empire's camp.

"The Empire's technology has always been monopolized by the Martian Mechanicus, and these guys are very xenophobic and like to attack other scientific researchers." The High Lord said.

On the surface, the Martian Mechanicum belongs to the Empire, but in reality, the Martian Mechanicum and the Empire are in a completely cooperative relationship.

All the empire's weapons, from battle barges to bolters, new military laser guns, and power armor.

All kinds of weapons and vehicles are monopolized by the Martian Mechanicum, and the Empire can only place orders with them in the form of purchases.

But they cannot directly order these Martian Mechanicus people to produce.

During the ten thousand years, the Empire had also produced some top scientific research talents, but these talents were suppressed and disposed of by the Martian Mechanicus.

"We'll talk about this female human scientist who seems to be from the Golden Age later. Let's see how good she is tomorrow."

"Then this meeting is over!"

The high lords ended this small meeting and left one after another.

Kania shook her head helplessly. These high lords were really speechless! They had no sense of crisis at all.
