I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 333 Makado II

Terra Palace.

The next second after Li Nuo closed the system backdoor.

The figure on the throne slowly awoke, letting out a soft sigh:
"That damned Eldar Death God's Chosen! He actually seduced Kirob during the End Times! Luckily, I discovered it in time, otherwise those scheming aliens would have succeeded. And that kid Li Nuo is such a worry; how did he know I left a backdoor in his system…?"

The figure opened its eyes, saw the corpse beneath the throne, and was momentarily stunned:
"Makado?"

The imperial guards stepped forward and knelt on one knee:

"Your Majesty, Lord Macado died a worthy death. He earned your attention through his self-sacrifice. I think he would be gratified."

Did you sacrifice yourself just to get my attention?
The Emperor was speechless.

He shifted his focus to the End Era simply because he sensed that Li Nuo had closed the system backdoor.

The God-Emperor projected a beam of psionic energy onto the steps, condensing an avatar which slowly descended the steps, his voice low and deep:

“Macado, my old friend, why did you do this? What happened while I was gone?”

The imperial guard lowered his head, took out a data tablet from his waist, and presented it to them:
"Your Majesty, Lord Macado's last words and report are on the data panel. Please take a look."

The God-Emperor brushed his palm across the data panel, and beams of psionic energy transformed into threads that directly extracted the digital signals from the panel.

In just a few seconds, the God Emperor grasped the whole story.

"Macado has fallen for the trap."

"Your Majesty, Li Nuo's treachery is obvious to all, and his conspiracy will not succeed."

The Emperor looked down at the Imperial Guard kneeling on one knee:
"Navarralando, do you believe Macado's death was a conspiracy by Lino?"

The Imperial Guards nodded:
“Yes, Your Majesty. Lino not only drove Makado to his death, but also attempted to become the true god of the orcs, betraying humanity and the empire. I have no doubt that he will lead the orc army to invade the empire’s territory.”

"Raise your head and stand up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor looked at the Imperial Guards:

“From today onwards, you will go to Karata to guard the Web Path and will no longer serve as my personal bodyguard.”

The Imperial Guards were astonished:

"His Majesty?!"

"Get down, your stupidity disappoints me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Imperial Guards marched with heavy steps toward the Golden Gate.

The God Emperor stood with his hands behind his back:

"Valdo, come to me."

A figure rushed through the golden gate and stopped in front of the God Emperor; it was none other than Constantine Waldo, the commander of the Imperial Guards.

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"What do you think of Makado's death?" The Emperor pointed to the corpse on the ground.

Waldo's mind raced.

Considering that Navarralando was stripped of his position as a bodyguard, Macado's death was probably not Li Nuo's fault.

If it's not Li Nuo, then could it be...?

"Your Majesty, is this a conspiracy by the Spirit Race?"

The Divine Emperor nodded slightly:

“That’s right. Not just the Eldar, but also the Cult. I saw remnants of Eldar and Cult psychic energy in Makado, very subtle, but also deadly. He was bewitched during the time I was away. The Eldar and the Cult reached a brilliant conspiracy. However, this doesn’t mean that Li Nuo can escape punishment.”

The God-Emperor turned around and slowly walked towards the throne:
"The foolish Makado fell for the Eldar and the Cult's conspiracy, actually using only mortal troops to stop Li Nuo from becoming a god. Did he pin his hopes on some vague sense of guilt?"

The divine emperor ascended the throne, merging with the gaunt body on it, and his voice became majestic and awe-inspiring:

"Pass on my orders. Raven Guard, Space Wolf, Dark Angel, Blood Angel, immediately cease all military operations and proceed to the designated location outside the galaxy to eliminate the Palu Orcs and kill Lino. Also, open the laboratory I used to create the Primarchs and retrieve the Legion enhancement blueprints belonging to the four Primarchs, and hand them over. I think they should know how to use these valuable technological materials."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Waldo knelt on one knee, showing his submission, and said with concern:

“Your Majesty, the four legions you just mentioned have undertaken extremely important military tasks in the Corridor of Pain. After they leave, the lines there will likely collapse.”

"I know." The Divine Emperor lowered his gaze, looking at the commander of the Imperial Guards below:
"I will use a warp storm to seal off the Corridor of Pain indefinitely. The demons and chaos orcs will be unable to leave. Once Li Nuo's matter is settled, the Legion will then go and eliminate the demons and chaos orcs."

“Your Majesty is wise.” Waldo lowered his head. “This is to have the War Council convey your decree. Now, what do you think? Should we punish the Eldar?”

The Emperor's gaze fell upon Macado's corpse, showing neither sorrow nor joy:
"The Eldar will be punished, but not now. We still need to use their network technology to transport the Legion. Once Li Nuo's matter is settled, I will settle accounts with the Eldar, the demons, and the Chaos Orcs all at once."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It's embarrassing to say.

The interstellar navigation methods employed by the human empire are truly underwhelming.

Even the God Emperor cannot drastically shorten the time required for subspace travel; at most, he can reduce a journey that would normally take two or three years to just a few months.

The situation is urgent. If the four Space Marine legions were to travel to Lino's location via warp, Lino would probably have already returned with the Palu Orcs before they even got there.

Besides...

The light from the starlight is limited and cannot reach beyond the Milky Way.

Faced with these two limiting factors, the God Emperor could only swallow his bitterness and continue to rely on the Spirit Race's network technology.

The commander of the Imperial Guards, Waldo, went to convey His Majesty's decree.

A few days later, the Primarch of the Raven Guard, Corvos Clarkes, who was closest to Terra, was the first to arrive at the Royal Palace.

Accompanied by Waldo, this Warhammer-wielding "Batman" with long, straight black hair entered the place where he was born.

It was a genetic laboratory located beneath the palace.

It was here that the Emperor and Amal Astartes jointly developed the Primarch and the Space Marines.

"Lord Ecovacs."

Waldo opened the adamantite safe and took out a huge jar and a piece of technological data marked "Top Secret":

"Please keep these two items safe. This technological document contains a genetic modification plan to enhance the Raven Guard. His Majesty will only allow the Legion to use this document when the Empire faces a major external threat. In this jar next to me, there is a sample of the finished product corresponding to the technological document."

Waldo pressed the switch on the tank.

"Pfft—" A hissing sound.

The side cover of the canister flipped open, revealing a body of similar height and shoulder width to Corvacs, standing before the Primarch of the Raven Guard.

At first glance, this body is simply taller and stronger than that of a typical Raven Guard.

But Ecovacs' keen intuition and observation told him that this body, while ensuring unimaginable muscle strength, also possessed extremely strong resistance to blows and a lighter weight.

It can not only withstand heavy explosive projectiles with its body, but also carry more tactical equipment on power armor and Terminator armor without being overweight.

Kovacs immediately thought of several brilliant combinations that were impossible to achieve because the total weight of the tactical armament exceeded the load.

Now, these ideas have become feasible because of the significant reduction in physical weight.

Kevors' eyes lit up, and his face lit up with joy. Waldo lightly patted the tank:
"You are free to observe and study the samples and scientific data here. After the other three Primarchs arrive in Terra, Terra will hold a state funeral for Chancellor Macado."

"Macado is dead?!" Kovacs exclaimed in surprise and astonishment. "When did this happen? Why would he be dead?"

Waldo sighed:
"It was the Palu Orcs who did this. Their leader betrayed the Empire and assassinated Macado. They are gathering forces outside the galaxy, attempting to destroy the human Empire. His Majesty will explain the details to the four of you once Lords Sanguiles, Leman Russ, and Ryan Johnson arrive."

"Damn it, those greenskins were definitely unreliable. I'll make the Paru orcs pay the price." Kovacs gritted his teeth in hatred. Throughout the entire country, everyone admired Makado, yet this imperial prime minister had been sacrificed just like that.

Waldo found an excuse to leave, allowing Kovacs's resentment towards the Palu orcs to continue to fester.

Waldo knew that Macado was driven to his death by the Eldar and the Cult, but…

With a formidable enemy at hand—the God-Emperor's foe on one side and the Empire's indispensable ally on the other—Waldo had no choice but to pin the blame for Macardo's death on Lino.

If we don't do this, how can we quickly incite the Primarchs and the Legion to hate the Palu Orcs?

"Judging by the time, Saint Gilles and Ryan Johnson should be arriving this afternoon. I wonder how these two Primarchs will react when they hear the news of Macado's death."

Waldo felt a surge of anticipation, but then realized that such speculation was unfair to Macado, so he suppressed his thoughts and prepared to go and meet the approaching Primarch.

the other side.

The ascension scene outside the Milky Way.

Li Nuo had no idea that he had taken the blame for the Spirit Clan and the Secret Cult.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Now, he only cares about two things.

One thing is the progress of the condensation of subspace projection.

The other thing is the unique orc in front of us.

This orc possesses genetic fragments of both the ancient orc boy and Makado. It can grow by activating a psionic field, just like a normal Paru boy, and is also as calm, wise, and loyal as Makado.

His demeanor was more reserved than that of the average Palu boy, and his slightly flickering eyes revealed a depth that other Palu boys did not possess.

Li Nuo commanded the beast, who led the Mad Doctor and Pain Boy to conduct a series of tests on this unique Palu Boy.

Their intelligence level is comparable to that of wild animals, and their emotional intelligence is higher than that of wild animals, but their emotional changes and emotional richness are not as high as those of wild animals.

They do not possess psychic abilities.

Their obedience to shamanic rituals and their worship of Brother Gao Mao were significantly greater than that of wild beasts.

The orc, whom Li Nuo called "Makado the Kid," would bow and worship the high priest whenever he had the chance.

Such loyalty would put even wild beasts to shame.

Most importantly, although Makado does not possess the real memories of Maka, he has unparalleled talent in sand table simulations, national policy formulation, and plan design.

That's right, it's talent, not experience.

Makado was a natural-born kid. After listening to the test questions given by Li Nuo, he could analyze them logically and eloquently after only a little thought.

From the essence of the problem to the methodology, to the risks and benefits of the proposed solutions, to the backup plans, and the trade-offs between different solutions, Makado's performance left Beast in awe, and even Li Nuo had to admit in his heart:
Makado, awesome!
"Beast."

"Boss."

Li Nuo activated the internal communication system and gave the following instructions:

“Take out all the situations we’ve encountered and the decisions we’ve made over the past two years. Test his abilities with the situations we’ve faced, compare his answers with our decisions, and finally summarize the comparison results into a report and submit it to me.”

"Okay, boss."

The beast took Makado away.

Later that day, Li Nuo received the experimental results on his data board.

The contents caused Li Nuo's hands to tremble slightly; shock, excitement, and joy welled up uncontrollably from his heart.

The Paru Empire has struck gold.

From this day forward, the empire will have its first prime minister.

There is no other reason.

The solution proposed by Makado was more prudent and efficient than the decision made by Lino himself.

“Beast, bring that kid to me.”

"Good drop."

A moment later, the Beast led Makado into the room.

Sitting in the center of the magic circle, Li Nuo gazed at Palu, whose face bore a resemblance to Makado, and solemnly said:
"From today onwards, your name is Pakado. Your position within the Paru Empire is..."

Li Nuo originally intended to address the other party as "Prime Minister," but then felt that the name did not quite fit the temperament of the orc.

Then, as his thoughts shifted, he had an idea.

"Your position within the Paru Empire is that of the Chief Think Tank! You can assemble a think tank to formulate national policies for the Paru Empire, and when necessary, you can also serve as a diplomatic ambassador or chief strategist. Remember, your name is no longer Makado, but Pakado, Pa as in Paru, understand?"

Paccado leaped from the spot, and with a graceful and elegant movement, knelt down on the ground with a thud:
"Yes, High Priest!"

"Get up! We Palu orcs never kneel unless we have my permission."

“Yes, High Priest!” Paccado stood up.

Li Nuo gestured to the beast:
"Once things are settled here, take Pakado to meet the important members of the Palu Empire, and then take him to select some suitable young men and scoundrels to serve as his assistants."

"Alright, boss." The beast chuckled.

At this moment, the data board in Li Nuo's hand emitted a beeping sound.

The system's archived briefing pops up synchronously.

A single glance sent a jolt through Li Nuo's heart.

[Archived file: Blood Raven Boss - Kron.]

[Briefing: Kron is keeping an eye on Pointy Ears and Shrimp's movements in both the Palu Homeworld and the real universe. Just now, he heard some astonishing news.]

[Terra is holding a state funeral for Imperial Chancellor Macado!]

[Commander of the Imperial Guard, Waldo, declares that the culprit behind Makado's death was an assassin from the Paru Empire!]

Effective immediately, the Paru Empire has been placed on the list of hostile powers of the human empires.

The four legions—Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Raven Guards, and Space Wolves—have converged on Terra. They are expected to arrive at the Ascension Ceremony site via the web portal within three days.

Makado is dead!
The real Makado is dead!

Moreover, a full four Space Marine legions were coming to cause trouble for him!
Li Nuo's heart was racing.

It's time to deploy the elite forces of the Paru Empire.

Let the ordinary Palu kids fight the ordinary shrimp and pointy ears, and let the elite fight the elite, to avoid being caught in a Tian Ji horse racing strategy.

He glanced at Paccado, who was still there.

Perhaps I could listen to what this chief strategist has to say.

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint in them.
