Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 440: Imperial Guards, Dark Angels, Executioners

"I agree with Guilliman and my father's plan!" Horus, who was standing aside, nodded and said.

As a former warmaster of the empire, he naturally has some understanding of the situation in the empire. The Martian Mechanicus is indeed a huge cancer.

Even these people are not like other citizens of the empire. They do not believe in the emperor, but in the legendary Omnissiah, the god of all things.

However, this God of All Machines does not exist in the Warp at all, so what they believe in is actually something else. As the first Primarch to follow the Emperor, Horus knows many secrets that others do not know.

The so-called God of Machines believed in by the Martian Mechanicus was most likely a fragment of the Void Dragon, because this Void Dragon mastered the machines and laws of creation in the universe.

When Mars was first established, the earliest beliefs and knowledge probably came from it, until its father, the Human Emperor, emerged and defeated the other.

But even so, the Emperor could not change the Martians' belief in the God of All Machines. Even the state religion simply packaged the God of All Machines as an incarnation of the Emperor.

"But it would be too inhumane for us to do this. The Mechanicus has been loyal to the Empire for ten thousand years.

We can't just wipe them out like this, there's no reason, no basis." Vulkan still sticks to his principles.

As the kindest of the Primarchs, he could not accept the reasonless and unfounded massacre of a group of technicians loyal to the Empire.

"Lion King! Sanguinius, and Rodelena, you also have something to say.

We can't do this, we represent the orthodoxy of mankind, we can't slaughter the people of the Mechanicus without reason." Vulkan tried to win over Rhodes, the Lion King, Elena, Sanguinius and others!
Elena, who was standing next to Rhodes, opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Rhodes. The Lion King and Saint Gilles beside her remained silent.

"The duty of us Primarchs is to obey the Emperor's orders. No matter what orders our father the Emperor gives, we don't need to worry about anything else, we just need to obey. Vulkan, do you understand?" said the Lion King Lion.

The Primarchs were created by the Emperor. When they first met the Emperor, they were all conquered by his powerful charisma and terrifying power.

Vulkan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his mind recalled the story that happened in Nocturne Heart. Back then, the Emperor disguised himself as a passerby and challenged him to a competition.

Two people compete in hunting to see who can catch the biggest salamander. The bet is that whoever loses will have to obey the other's orders forever.

He captured the largest salamander he had ever seen, and just as he was about to leave, he encountered a volcanic eruption.

He can’t leave without dropping his salamander prey, and he will obey all commands from a stranger.

Vulkan didn't know the Emperor, a stranger, at the time, so naturally he was unwilling to give up the Salamander he had obtained.

As a result, he was trapped on the volcanic cliff. At this time, the Emperor appeared carrying a larger fire lizard and saw himself trapped.

The Emperor threw away the larger Salamander without hesitation, then rescued himself.

Vulkan kept his prey, while the Emperor lost his larger Salamander. According to the agreement, the Emperor lost the game.

But Vulkan knew that the one with the bigger or thinner prey was the Emperor, and that he threw away the bigger prey in order to save himself.

So he swore allegiance to the Emperor without hesitation, and named his legion after the Salamander, the animal from Nocturne that the two of them were connected to.

The other Primarchs also lost to the Emperor for various reasons and willingly recognized this father. At that time, all of their Primarchs swore allegiance. If they now do not obey the Emperor's orders, then what is the difference between them and those rebellious Primarchs?

At this time, a hand was placed on the shoulder of the Fire Lizard Lord.

“First, the Mechanicum of Mars has never submitted to the Emperor, and its relationship with the Empire has always been cooperative.

All the weapons needed by the Empire, from a battle barge and heavy Titan to a bolt rifle, some laser guns, and power armor, all have to be ordered from the Martian Mechanicus and then purchased.

The Martian Mechanicus has never helped the Empire unconditionally; all of its help has been conditionally purchased.

The Second Martian Mechanicus has its own Crusader Army and its own regime promotion system. All Forge Worlds are under the management of the Martian Mechanicus, which is an extremely powerful force.

The industrial power of the entire empire is controlled by the Martian Mechanicus, and the Martian Mechanicus is now very corrupt. You only need to look at the various secret materials of the empire to understand. "Rhode said.

In fact, Rhodes also supported the Emperor's Great Purge. The problem of the Mechanicus on Mars could no longer be ignored.

Why would Rhodes secretly build a scientific research base? Why not put it on Mars? The Mechanicus did it for a reason. Even Herodia Rhodes sent monster bodyguards.

Because since Helotia joined the Martian machinery, she has been assassinated no less than a hundred times!
Therefore, the Martian machinery must be cleaned up. If the Emperor does not propose the cleanup, Rhodes will have to find a way to deal with these oil guys in the future.

Now that the emperor has made up his mind, Rhodes is naturally willing to help.

"This will cause great losses to the human empire. Any accidents at the Mars Mechanicus headquarters will have an impact on future wars, and may even cause problems for this expedition." Sanguinius said with a sigh.

In fact, he wanted to fight Vulkan, Lord of the Salamanders, and although he was fierce in a fight, he really cared for the people of the Empire.

However, Rhodes' words made him change his mind. The Martian Mechanicus should indeed be cleaned out.

“There will be losses, but this is inevitable. As a ruler, you need to consider all aspects of the problem. A little loss in exchange for greater benefits is worth it.

Previously, Rhodes and Guilliman discussed this expedition in order to subjugate the power of the Empire, but now the Eldar have opened the Webway to us, and connections have been restored to various parts of the World Empire.

The Imperial Saints are being reintegrated together. After the legion is formed, all that needs to be done is to eliminate the enemies that invaded the Imperial Saints to complete the battle on the front line of the empire.

So we can accept the loss of half of the Martian machinery being destroyed," the Emperor said.

This was something he had considered carefully, otherwise he would not have proposed it. He had the confidence to do so because of the scientists under Rhodes.

“If necessary, I can let Tartarus use his spatial ability immediately.

Teleport the Void Dragon and us to another safe battlefield and minimize the losses." Rhode said. His original plan was to let Tartarus take action and transfer the Void Dragon and them to another remote battlefield, preferably a place with a red giant star.

After getting rid of the Void Dragon fragments, they could immediately start absorbing all the energy of a red giant star, but who could have imagined that the Emperor actually wanted to use this to clean up the Martian Mechanicus.

In this case, let's plan this plan more precisely!
"Rod! You can use your special ability to teleport the Void Dragon away, right?" Guilliman asked with his eyes lighting up.

In this way, the losses can indeed be minimized.

"Yes! So we can discuss the specific plan. Since we need to carry out a major cleansing of the Martian machinery, then after the Sky Devouring Dragon is released from its seal.

I can let him cause some trouble, but I can't let him destroy Titan's construction facilities and some important military-industrial enterprises. After he causes panic on Mars, I will transfer him away.

Then, we can take advantage of this turmoil to send out some of our troops to carry out targeted strikes against the Martian Mechanicus." Rhodes said.

"Do you mean to send out the Imperial Guards?" asked the emperor.

"Well! In addition to the Imperial Guards, my genetic offspring can also join the battle and kill all those old conservatives, leaving only Belisarius Kaur and Helotia's men.

As for the members of the Martian Mechanicus in other regions, we can slowly clean them up in the future." Rhodes said.

Aren't the Emperor's Guards the best at doing this kind of thing? When the Thunder Warriors were purged, it was the Emperor's Guards who led the charge.

"In fact, my dark angels can also perform this kind of mission. They are very good at it." Lion King Leon said.

It would be most appropriate to let the Dark Angels handle this kind of thing. Some Dark Angels have been sent to serve in the Death Watch and will not be able to return for at least 100 years.

But those imprisoned fallen angels have now obtained his forgiveness. These people are veterans with thousands of years of experience and can definitely keep secrets.

"You can also use my army! My genetic offspring can cooperate with the Imperial Guards in the cleansing." Rhodes said.

"No! Rhodes, your army is too large, and they were established not long ago, although they are very loyal to you.

But there is no guarantee that he will not let it slip. This matter is the darkest secret hidden in the empire. Once it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. It is better to let the Imperial Guards complete it!" After thinking for a moment, the emperor rejected Rhode's proposal.

Rhodes's army now has more than 70 soldiers, and will soon exceed 80. Among these people, more than % are new recruits, and new recruits often represent unreliability.

The other Primarchs also nodded.

Rhodes gave a bitter smile when he heard that. Are you kidding me? My soldiers are the most loyal. The special brain core installed in their heads is their greatest guarantee.

It is absolutely impossible for Rhodes' own genetic offspring to leak the news after completing the mission.

Rhodes can use a special brain core to completely erase their memories of this time, leaving no trace at all.

However, this special brain core is a core secret. No one knows about it except the scientists under Rhodes himself. It is only claimed to be used to control voice changing.

This special brain core was even modified and installed in the Space Wolves and Blood Angels to help them control their own power.

“It has been decided. Let 4,000 guardsmen and some of Lion King Lion’s dark angels carry out this mission.

These fallen angels were once members of the First Legion and are veterans. They can still be trusted." The Emperor said.

The troops under his command that carry out secret missions and serve as executioners are generally the Space Wolves and the Dark Angels. The Space Wolves are of no use now, but the Dark Angels have a group of veteran soldiers who can be of great use now.

"No problem, father, I will let those fallen angels join the battle." Lion King Leon nodded.

Next, the Primarch and the Emperor began to discuss the specific details of this plan to ensure that it was foolproof.

Before the plan started, Rhodes first informed Belisariukauer and his own scientist Helotia about this matter.

Helotia didn't care about this matter. She had only joined the Mechanicus for more than two years and had less than 1000 apprentices under her.

Moreover, he didn't have a very good relationship with these members of the Mechanicus, who had launched hundreds of assassination attempts against him. Naturally, he was very happy to see these members of the Martian Mechanicus being purged.

But Belisariukauer felt a little sad, even though they were all old conservatives and often even held him back.

But to be honest, with the support of Guilliman Rod and the Emperor, he has already firmly established himself as the head of the Mechanicus on Mars.

In terms of seniority, he has lived for more than 1 years and is considered the oldest member of the Martian Mechanic Church. In terms of strength, he is also well-deserved.

In fact, his original plan was to slowly change the situation within the Mechanicus after he came to power, but it seems the Emperor can no longer wait.

"I understand. Lord Rhodes, everything you do is for the Empire and the Emperor. In that case, then execute this order!

I will temporarily transfer some members of the Mechanicus who are open to new ideas and concepts away from Mars. Please avoid the production lines of several new Titans, and there will be no other problems. " Belisariucaur said.

"Don't worry, there won't be too much loss on Mars this time, especially in terms of mechanical buildings." Rhodes said.

Time passed quickly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye. During these three days, the Emperor issued various orders and dispatches. A large number of people in the Martian Mechanicus were transferred away, and a large number of people were transferred back.

At the same time, 4000 imperial guards and more than 6000 dark angels, totaling 1 people, have also completed their assembly!
In the core of the Martian Mechanicus, a seal suddenly loosened, and a huge monster suddenly emerged from the surface of Mars.

"Roar!"
