Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 81 Luojia's Movement
"After you make a copy of it, can you please leave the original with me? I don't think there is a better place in the galaxy to keep this precious book."

Roche hesitated for a moment, but still hoped that Guilliman would give him the original copy of the Book of Lowell for safekeeping.

"I have traveled through time from 10,000 years ago to the present, and have been given the mission of continuing human civilization."

"I've been wondering what could represent our civilization."

"I used to think that those precious works of art passed down from ancient times, those technological creations that are the crystallization of human wisdom, and those testimonies of human civilization and rationality are worthy of being treasured. But until now——"

"Until now I have seen the embodiment of our civilization. This book is a projection of our civilization: strong and unyielding, sacrificial and fearless."

Guilliman did not hesitate, he handed the heavy book to Roche's hands.

"I hope you can collect more evidence of civilization."

"But now we should do other things, like...find out where Lorgar and that damn ship have gone."

Although the large forces of the Word Bearers and the World Eaters had been defeated and annihilated, no one dared to let down their guard because the powerful Triumvirate had not yet been found.

Even with only one ship left, the Trinitarian could still overwhelm an entire heavily armed world. All the ships defending the galaxy together would probably be no match for it. It could obliterate all orbital defenses, then use orbital bombardment to reduce a thriving human world to ashes.

Even Macragge, the capital of the Five Hundred Worlds, might not survive the clutches of the Trinita while Guilliman and the fleet were away on campaign.

Guilliman could not rest truly at ease until this thorn in his flesh was removed.

To this end, the Ultramarines who were airdropped to Amatra continued to clean out the traitors who had no time to escape and were still stranded on the surface of the planet.

But now the situation has reversed. The tens of thousands of fully armed Ultramarines brought by Guilliman are enough to completely drown these remnants of the defeated army.

This task was given to the First Chapter Master Marius Gage, who would take over Orfeo's duties and completely eliminate the enemies on this heroic planet, providing a clean planet for future rebuilders.

In the end, after half a month of thorough encirclement and suppression, the Ultramarines successfully captured 621 World Eaters and 859 Word Bearers, and the number of enemies killed in the process was ten times that number.

The enraged Ultramarines annihilated the enemy with absolute superiority, just as they claimed: drowning the enemy in their own blood.

On this planet soaked in the blood of the loyalists, the traitors once again shed rivers of blood.

"I allow you to use all means to find out where Lorgar is and whether Angron is really dead." Guilliman said to Marius Gage.

"I need solid evidence. No probably, maybe, or possibility. Only certainty. I just want the result." Guilliman gave a rare death order.

Although the Ultramarines are known for their rationality and civilization, it does not mean that they will not use all kinds of terrible means. Trying to torture information out of the Astartes is even more difficult than killing these hateful traitors.

Fear and pain are suppressed in the Astartes from birth, and the training they receive also makes them almost infinitely resistant to punishment and torture.

What's more, the target this time is the World Eaters who have been struck by the Butcher's Nails, and those Word Bearers who have fanatical beliefs.

The former are few and far between, even capable of maintaining a clear mind, while the latter, fueled by religious faith, are even more stubborn. "Although the genetic detection system can acquire memories by consuming the opponent's flesh and blood, there's a potential for error. We must employ a dual approach, first attempting to extract some intelligence through torture."

Marius Gage ordered his adjutant to bring over those outliers in the legion.

The outliers mentioned by the Chapter Master are those Ultramarines veterans from Terra, who belong to the 13nd Chapter within the 22th Legion.

Unlike the Ultramarines formed after Guilliman's return, these Terran veterans are extremely skilled at delivering devastating blows and creating fear.

They are best at using phosphide and chemical weapons in war, and will use extremely cruel means to destroy the enemy. It is precisely for this reason that they are not favored by Guilliman and are always required to stay away from the front line of the main force.

However, the 22nd Regiment performed far better than any other regiment in this cleanup operation. The Destroyer Squadrons, equipped with a large amount of heavy firepower, used heavy bolters, plasma, melta and laser cannons to destroy a large number of enemies who tried to resist.

The World Eaters and Word Bearers who died from the phosphide weapons all had their ceramsite armor burned through, their emblems melted, and even their flesh and bones dissolved.

Gage believed that having the most brutal and fierce veterans in the legion conduct the interrogation would be most likely to pry some intelligence out of the traitors.

The 22nd Chapter Master Lon Lasus soon came in front of Marius Gage. He was an ordinary-looking man, no different from those Terra veterans.

When the First Chapter Captain informed Lasus of the current situation, the Terran veteran simply smiled and then let Gage leave everything to him.

The 22nd Chapter Master and his personal guards then entered the cells holding the World Eaters and Word Bearers prisoners, bringing with them the captured traitor mortal auxiliaries.

No one except these Terran veterans knew what happened, only the painful howls of the Astartes could be heard from the prison.

When they came out, most of the captives were dead, and the rest had horrific wounds all over their bodies. It seemed that they had used their signature phosphide weapons during the interrogation.

Lasus had a hideous smile on his face, and there were still stains of solidified blood on his power armor.

"Marius, the most likely place for the traitors to go is Nuceria, the home planet of the deceased traitor leader Angron."

"Another rebel leader, Lorgar Aurelion of the Word Bearers, is planning to do something to resurrect his brother."

This information was quickly reported to Guilliman. The Lord of Five Hundred Worlds frowned, somewhat confused about Lorgar's thoughts.

Angron's home planet is located in Nuceria in the Ultima Segmentum, a planet left over from the ancient Old Night Era. A special gladiator culture prevails on this planet, and it was here that Angron was found by the Emperor.

"Order the fleet to head towards Nuceria. We must sink that battleship completely. Let's end this in Nuceria."

Guilliman's order was quickly issued. Except for a part of the Ultramarines who continued to stay in Amatra to carry out reconstruction work and guard against roaming traitors, the rest of the Ultramarines all followed the troops to Nuceria.

The Primarch returned to his flagship, and the battle planet Amatra, renamed in honor of this great battle, followed at the rear of the fleet. This huge fleet jumped into the sea of ​​​​Warp again, heading directly for Nuceria.
