Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 324: The Legion Returns, I Agree! I Oppose the Wolf Group!
In addition to the Imperial Navy, there is also the Astra Militarum. All numbers will be cancelled and reorganized into the Imperial Army of Mankind.

Basically, all the worlds in the human empire that could still be contacted had received the news.

In addition to the news of the Legion’s reconstruction, there is also a transformation plan for the Primaris Super Space Marines!
According to the introduction, this new transformation surgery for Space Marines will make them stronger and taller!

The Space Marine Chapters that received the news were all in a state of panic. Except for the Blood Angels Chapter that knew the news in advance, the other chapters were in a state of confusion.

The Space Wolves, the White Scars, the Dark Angels, the Iron Hands, these founding chapters were all in a state of confusion.

Not to mention the sub-groups that have already split off, now all the Space Marines are discussing two things.

In the star field of the Empire, on a Space Marine home planet, a heated discussion is taking place among an ordinary chapter stationed there.

“The Emperor has awakened and the Primarch has returned. This is a good thing for the Imperium, but we have believed in the Codex Astartes for ten thousand years.

And the thousand-man chapter system that has been in place for ten thousand years, do we really have to completely abolish it and let us return to the legion? But many chapters can't even trace the origins of their parent group. "A Space Marine said.

Just like their Space Marine Chapter, it is now impossible to trace back to its parent chapter. It is very likely that part of their gene seed came from the Ultramarines and part from the Salamanders.

There are countless cases of this kind. In order to ensure that the gene seeds of many chapters are not corrupted by the forces of Chaos and to ensure stability, they actually introduce some gene seeds of the Extreme Marines.

"It's an order from the Emperor himself! We just need to obey it. The Emperor has ordered the legions to return, and even the Imperial Navy and the Astra Militarum will be merged into the Imperial Army." said a chapter captain.

"But has the Emperor really awakened? Could this be false news released by those high lords?" asked a chapter priest.

“It shouldn’t happen. We have already contacted some surrounding star regions, and now the news has spread throughout the entire imperial world. Nothing will happen to Holy Terra.

Moreover, all the navigators and astropaths have said that the light of the Astronomican is now stronger than before. If it were not for the Great Rift, the territory of the Empire would have expanded by at least 1/4." The Chapter Master said.

Naturally, he confirmed this matter after making inquiries from many sources. Now, the entire empire has received this news. This cannot be a conspiracy of the Chaos forces.

The power of the Emperor himself has indeed increased. The Emperor has successfully awakened and can indirectly rule the human empire.

"And when the legion system is restored, our chapter masters will also be retained. Above the chapter masters, there will even be positions of brigade commander and deputy legion commander." said a Space Marine adjutant.

The new military rank setting is obviously intended to take care of all chapter masters. Everyone is a chapter master, but on the surface, the military ranks in the empire are actually the same.

Now the Chapter Masters of some of the newly founded Chapters will be promoted to Deputy Chapter Masters, and the Chapter Masters of these split-off Chapters will also retain this title and continue to command a Space Marine army of thousands of people.

"So which legion are we going to return to? The Salamanders or the Ultramarines?" asked a chapter captain.

This is a crucial issue.

"I personally suggest a return to the Ultramarines, because the Ultramarines have a Primarch, and Lord Robert Guilliman has already returned," the Chapter Master began.

The Empire seemed to have considered this matter as well, allowing all chapters to trace their gene seeds. If there were seeds of two primarchs in the body, one legion could be chosen to return.

"Let's go back to the Ultramarines! It is said that the Ultramarines are now undergoing a new type of space marine surgery to transform these Primaris Super Space Marines. They are much more powerful than ordinary Primal Space Marines."

After a vote, this unknown chapter chose to return to the Ultramarines.

And within the vast territory of the Empire, countless Space Marine Chapters are making their choices.

But some Space Marine chapters choose to wait and see, wanting to see how these founding chapters make their choices?
The first of the founding Chapter Masters to make their choice were the Blood Angels.

Despite Rhodes's deliberate care, the Blood Angels' home planet Baal was still covered by the light of the upgraded Astronomican.

After the Emperor's Golden Throne was upgraded, one-third of the Empire's dark lands were also illuminated, after losing contact with the Empire for several months.

Baal, the mother of the Blood Angels, and some surrounding galaxies finally returned to the embrace of the Empire.

After the communication signal was restored, Dante, the commander of the Blood Angels, was the first to express his attitude.

The Space Marine Chapter is an army created by the Emperor, and the Space Marines must be loyal to the Emperor himself!
Therefore, the Blood Angels chose to be unconditionally loyal to the Emperor, and they would obey any orders from the Emperor.

Chapter Master of the Blood Angels Dante officially renamed the Blood Angels Chapter the Blood Angels Legion and called on all the descendants of Sanguinius to return.

All Chapter Masters will retain their positions and become part of the Legion.

This was a decision agreed upon by all the descendants of Sanguinius after the Battle of Baal, so there were no unexpected situations. The Blood Angels were the first legion to complete the reconstruction of the legion. For some reason, Robert Guilliman did not let the Ultramarines take the lead, because some things were difficult to say, and many imperial forces were eyeing the Ultramarines.

After the Blood Angels Chapter announced its legionization, it did cause a stir, followed by the White Scars of Jaghatai Khan, a founding chapter that also announced its return to the Empire.

And obey all the Emperor's orders, officially establish the White Scars Legion, and recall all of Chagatai's descendants.

The Empire also gave many preferential treatments to the White Scars, a founding chapter, such as their Khan and the position of Great Khan would be retained to replace the positions of Chapter Master and Brigade Master.

After the White Scars announced their acceptance of legionization, the Salamanders also announced their attitude, accepting the leadership of the Emperor, the leadership of the Primarch, and the teachings of their great gene-father.

Regroup under the Emperor's command to form the Salamanders Legion, and call on all Salamanders to return to the Legion.

The Imperial Fists also made their own statement. They were originally stationed on Holy Terra, so they naturally knew that the Emperor had truly awakened.

So without any question, it was announced that all members would return to the legion. The Imperial Fists had a sub-group that was even more powerful than the parent group, and that was the Black Templars.

The Black Templars were contacted personally by Marshal Avarrich, and Rhodes, Guilliman and others tried to persuade them.

The Black Templars, with a total number of more than 5000, also chose to return to the Imperial Fists, but because of some things that Rhodes showed.

In particular, the violent transformation ability of his gene seed and the ability to survive in the universe allowed Avarrich to successfully win over several expeditionary marshals.

He led some of the Black Templar members under his command to join Rhodes' legion and replace their gene-seed with Rhodes' gene-seed. The Supreme Marshal of the Black Templar did not say anything about this, after all, their numbers were a bit too many.

More than 3000 people were able to return to the parent group, which was already a terrifying number. It might even turn the Imperial Fists into the Black Templars.

The remaining 2000 people joined Rhodes' legion and were able to carry forward the great spirit of Sigismund.

And it is undeniable that Lord Rhodes' gene seed is actually more suitable for the violent warfare tactics of their Black Templar.

Rhodes promised these members of the Black Templar that they would form a Black Templar Brigade with a size of 10,000 people.

There were founding chapters that supported it, and naturally there were also founding chapters that raised doubts and objections. The most radical of them were the Space Wolves and the Dark Angels.

The Space Wolves directly refused, even claiming that the Emperor's awakening was nothing more than a conspiracy of Robouti Guilliman.

Robouti Guilliman had broken up the legions in disgusting ways ten thousand years ago.

The Space Wolves will return to the Legion, as they don't have many successors.

But he was skeptical about the Emperor's awakening, and chose not to accept the new Primaris Super Space Marines.

As for the Dark Angels, there was no statement at all. The Dark Angels' home planet was blown up. These Dark Angels existed on the dark side of the Empire, and many of them had not received any news yet.

The Iron Hands' attitude is also ambiguous and they are still waiting and watching, but their attitude is not as tough as that of the Space Wolves.

Rhodes' own legion, the Space Guard, and Elena's legion of combat nuns, the Ice Queen Legion, also received official appointments from the empire.

The most excited among them was the Battle Sister. They were so proud of this female Primarch. She was born a nun and was adopted as a daughter by the Emperor.

He was elevated to become a true Primarch and defeated the Empire's greatest enemy, the Dark Warmaster Abaddon.

The Imperial State Religion immediately sent people to Holy Terra to pay homage to the Emperor and expressed unconditional support for all of the Emperor's decisions.

From today on, all battle sisters will be assigned to the Ice Queen's team. The battle sisters will come to Holy Terra in batches and complete the transformation of Space Marines.

"Rhode, tomorrow you and Elena will meet with the people from the state religion and be more polite.

Those state religions are still very important to the Imperium, especially in maintaining the Emperor's rule and in training the Sisters of Battle."

"I understand. What are you going to do with the Space Wolves?" Rhodes asked.

"How about you go there yourself?"
