Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 225: The Return of the Ultimates, Guilliman's Decision
For the next period of time, Robert Guilliman became busy. The news of the Primarch's return spread throughout the world of Macragge within a day.

Everyone knows that the descendants of the former Divine Emperor have awakened from ten thousand years of slumber.

And in just a few days, it spread to the entire Ultramar 500 world through astropathic messaging.

Robouti Guilliman first underwent a brief return ceremony among his gene-offspring.

The Ultramarines Chapter, and the 300 members of the Ultramarines Legion who had returned from ten thousand years ago, all came to pay homage to Robert Guilliman.

Robert Guilliman seemed extremely enthusiastic about these more than 300 Ultramarines from the Legion era ten thousand years ago.

Because he knew who this company commander was, and he was even someone he promoted himself. This company commander was someone he was familiar with.

After the two had a brief exchange, the company commander from ten thousand years ago and the Extreme Marines he led returned to the Extreme Marines.

And he continued to serve as company commander, and he did not disband the thousand-year-old veteran Robert Guilliman under his command.

In addition, there are 10 Ultramarines sub-regiments permanently stationed on the world of Ultramar 500.

The Ultramarines, who had rushed back to support the Primarch after learning that his hometown had been attacked, also sent representatives to Macragge to pay homage to the great Gene-Father.

The representatives sent by these sub-groups are all heavyweight figures, either company commanders or group think tanks.

Even the Chapter Master came in person, only the Chapter Masters of some regions with sporadic world wars or the Chapter Masters of those who were far away did not come in person.

"My genetic descendants, I am very happy that you can come here to participate in my return ceremony. Ultramar 500th century is still as prosperous as before." Robert Guilliman looked at the genetic descendants below and nodded.

First of all, it is affirmed that the prosperity of the five hundred worlds of Ultramar in recent years. During the ten thousand years of slumber, the world of Ultramar did not decline and can even be said to have become more prosperous.

After waking up, he also took a good look at the situation of his former hometown. He was still very pleased with his own world of Ultramar 500.

"Salute to you, great gene source!
Your awakening has inspired the entire Ultramar 500 world. We are all inspired, and the news of your awakening is spreading throughout the galaxy. All the worlds of the human empire will know this news. "said a sub-group leader.

"Thank you for coming back to support Ultramar 500. As the true master of Ultramar 500, I want to thank you." Robert Guilliman said with a smile.

"You are too kind, Primarch. We are all members of the Ultramarines. We are also your genetic descendants, the homeland of the first Primarch. It is our duty to do our part." Some chapter commanders spoke up.

"I am very pleased about this. I have been awake for a few days, and during this time I have also learned about the situation inside the empire.

Ten thousand years have passed, and the Codex Astartes compiled previously may have many inapplicable parts. These ten thousand years have caused you a lot of suffering." Guilliman slowly stated his purpose.

This set of holy codes was no longer applicable. As for the Empire, abolishing it would require him to return to Terra. But if it was in the world of Ultramar 500, among his own genetic descendants, Robert Guilliman felt that just one word from him would be enough.

"This! Primarch, you, do you want to modify the Codex Astartes?" a chapter commander asked carefully.

"Yes, my genetic descendants, there is also a very important reason why I summoned you back this time.

I intend to abolish the Chapter system and re-incorporate you into the Ultramarines Legion. From now on, my genetic offspring will no longer need to be divided.

The main reason for doing this is that humanity is now facing an unprecedented crisis. If we do not restore the legion system, we will not be able to effectively resist the attacks of the aliens and the forces of chaos. "Robert Guilliman said.

Inside the entire hall, everyone was silent. None of the returning descendants of Robert Guilliman had expected that the first thing the Primarch wanted to discuss with them after meeting him would be to abolish the Codex Astartes that he himself had compiled.

If someone else said this, they would curse him as a heretic, then pick up their bolt weapons, raise their chainswords, and chop and hit without hesitation.

Because this is a blasphemy against their gene-father, but if the person who modified the holy code is his own gene-father, Robert Guilliman would be a different matter.

After all, this set of classics was compiled by the person in front of him, and he has the final right of interpretation. If he wants to modify or even abolish it, it doesn't seem to be a big problem!

"Great Gene Father, if you yourself wish to modify this set of Astartes Codex that has been in trial use for ten thousand years.

As your genetic descendants, we naturally have no objection, and we are all willing to follow your orders, but if it is the entire empire, there may be some problems. "A sub-group leader said.

The other captains, captains, and think tanks all nodded. Robert Guilliman's gene descendants basically agreed, but it was hard to say for some other chapters. "I understand that this is a huge obstacle, but it is imperative. I will first promote it among my own gene descendants, so from now on, you are no longer members of the Ultramarines.

All of you are members of my Ultramarines, and all of you will return to the Ultramarines." Robert Guilliman dropped another bombshell.

In the past few days, he learned about the number of sub-groups that had split off from the Ultramarines over the years, as well as the number of Space Marine chapters recorded by the Empire and their parent groups.

It is a good thing to find that his genetic offspring account for more than 7% of the population. After the Extreme Marines are reorganized, the number should be at least 75 or even 80.

With the addition of the 20 recruits Rhode provided, it should only take a month or two to gather a million-strong army. By then, coupled with Rhode's 500-plus troops and the estimated number of mortal troops from the worlds of Ultramar, the two of them would have no problem sweeping Holy Terra.

Robert Guilliman showed Rhode the speed of rapid expansion. Is 50 troops a lot for you? I have 100 million.

This time he didn't plan to play any political games. This time he went to Holy Terra to subdue everyone and eliminate those who were unwilling to obey his orders.

"This is such great news! All of us are eager to return to the Ultramarines, and all of us are eager to gather around you again, the great Gene-Father." A chapter commander immediately stood up and patted his chest to show his loyalty to his Gene-Father.

"We salute you, the great Father of Genes. We are willing to return to the ranks of the Ultramarines." Many leaders of the sub-groups immediately expressed that they would follow the orders of the Father of Genes.

"Great Gene Father, I am willing to give up my position as Chapter Master and return to the Ultramarines.

I want to be a company commander under your command. If the position of company commander is not enough for you, let me be a non-commissioned officer or an ordinary soldier.

It is enough to be able to follow the Gene Father." A sub-group leader said.

This sentence seems to express his loyalty, but the subtext is actually asking Guilliman what positions we, the chapter leaders, will hold after we return?
After all, even in the Legion Era ten thousand years ago, the highest title below the Primarch was Company Commander, and there were nearly 700 chapters of these Ultramarines all together.

Most of them have not come yet. Does that mean that more than 700 company commanders will be born after the return?
"My genetic descendants, don't worry! No one's position will change. Although I will restore the legion system, I will also retain the title of the war group within the legion!

The legion system will be restored, but it does not mean that your regiments will be disbanded.

I will re-plan all the positions in the legion and add the position of Chapter Master above the Captain." Robert Guilliman smiled and nodded.

Some people find it hard to accept that the chapter master is suddenly demoted to company commander, so the chapter master will be retained, and the chapter will serve as a title of the legion, a combat unit within a legion.

When the entire legion is not needed, these regiments are still a very good choice to deal with some small-scale battles.

After all, not every place requires an entire legion to go there, but he needs to discuss the specific military ranks with Rhodes.

After hearing Robert Guilliman's assurance, most of the Chapter Masters of the Successor Chapters smiled with satisfaction and bowed to their Gene-Father.

“Once I return to Holy Terra, I will have several other big announcements!

By then, the impact of these major events will even overshadow the impact of the revision of the Astartes Codex." Robert Guilliman said.

He has not yet announced the identities of Rhodes and Elena, because according to Rhodes.

If it were announced in advance, Holy Terra would know that three Primarchs were about to return, and they would bring back at least 3 million Space Marines.

Then Holy Terra might be on guard, and their mutiny plan might fail for some reason!
Therefore, the Ultramarines' internal modifications to the Astartes Codex and their return to the legion system were all carried out in secret, and everything had to wait until they returned to Holy Terra.

This time he will become the regent of the human empire.

Among those present, only Calgar and the Chapter Librarian Digris knew what the big deal was, but it was not an act of betrayal.

Because his genetic father had already communicated with the Emperor, those high lords were heretics.

They are the army of loyalty to the king and the army of justice.
