Warhammer 40 Unorthodox Primarch

Many of the Midnight Lords were killed, and only a few escaped. It's not surprising that Conrad Coz really had the heart to abandon his own offspring.

Li Taiji took over the defense of this territory and reorganized the defense of this star sector. In reality, the nobles' defense capabilities were very low. They paid more attention to culture and so-called art, and were even very good at political intrigue.

The closer you get to Terra, the stronger this trend becomes. The siege of Terra happened a long time ago, long enough for people to forget the pain.

In reality, these outside lords are not at all the same as the high lords. They do not have a long-standing lineage, while many of the guys in the High Lord Council were originally established by the Emperor to assist in managing the Empire and have a long history.

In response to this, Li Taiji spared no effort in winning over these people. On one hand, there was the infamous butcher's knife, and on the other hand, there was a peaceful and stable life. Li Taiji concentrated the lords in one world, while the other worlds underwent fundamental transformation.

This greatly violated the fundamental principles of the Highlords Council, and was even an open attempt to undermine them.

"Initiate the plan! This Primarch has violated the rules of the Empire and should be eliminated..." a high lord shrouded in shadow said in a low voice.

"We can't kill him, he's immortal..." someone nearby said.

"If you can't kill him, just banish him and let him get lost in the Warp. The Chaos Gods would be happy to see that. You don't want Guilliman to come to Terra, do you? Our power and everything should not be taken away. It is our existence that stabilizes the Empire. Our authority should not be weakened. The Primarch is not a true human..." The High Lord got more and more carried away as he spoke.

Such words would be considered the most blasphemous elsewhere, but when they come from their mouths, they are considered authoritative.

This is the root of the empire's darkness: an ancient, corrupt, and two-faced ambitious figure who would even cooperate with an evil god to protect himself...

Li Taiji strengthened the defenses of the worlds controlled by these lords, trained the army and improved defensive weapons, and vigorously developed agricultural planets. No one wanted to eat corpse starch and canned ant-cow food. Li Taiji knew all too well the importance of logistics. Although the empire had a large population, it was the foundation for suppressing the galaxy.

If people are truly treated as firewood and currency, then the empire will eventually destroy itself...

The Ultramarines are making a huge splash, with Guilliman expanding his army without any regard for the consequences. The Ultramarines' target is 250,000, not including reinforcements...

In other words, the number of Ultramarines can be replenished at any time, which is enough to show that there are far more than 250,000 Ultramarines.

Belisarius Caul integrated all the forging worlds to frantically produce weapons and equipment. At this point in time, all the Empire's troops were in a state of lethargy, and the production of those once powerful equipment had ceased.

Many pieces of equipment are no longer available, and the Empire no longer has the capacity to produce them. The Empire has been ravaged, so its weaponry is extremely outdated.

As the operations mastermind, Guilliman desperately wanted to restore the Legion era, where Astartes were just the most basic units and the Empire's most powerful forces were still those war machines.

Even the production of Leman Rustank in the Empire has encountered great problems. The warbands have indeed prevented mutiny, but this system has lasted for thousands of years and cannot be abolished overnight.

This also effectively crippled the empire's fighting power. The forces of chaos do not follow any holy scriptures; on the contrary, their strength only grows stronger with each battle.

Taking advantage of this crushing defeat, Guilliman bared his fangs, and the foundation of the Forged World began to emerge, with a large number of warships and equipment entering the Ultramarines Legion.

The Astartes' attacks were not like the ancient soldiers' charge. On the contrary, during the Legion era, Ultramarines, like soldiers, also had tanks and various war machines.

The value of Astartes lies not in their power armor, but in their speed, reaction time, and adaptability to the interstellar world.

Take siege warfare as an example. Whether you use Astartes or People's Guardians, it's foolish to charge in with a single soldier.

The firepower of a complete fortress is terrifying. Even landing on a planet would involve a battle for orbital defenses, as well as a war between ground forces and warships. You can't land without destroying the giant plasma defense cannons on the planet's surface...

Even if they manage to land, they'll face extremely heavy firepower—laser guns and cannons? Not at all!

A hive city's defenses include numerous tactical nuclear weapons and even terrifying volcanic artillery; trying to breach them with Astartes would be a joke.

Therefore, during the Legion era, the Astartes relied on coordination and heavy weapons to conquer cities and strongholds during the Great Expedition. However, these resources later disappeared, and the losses outweighed the replenishment. Coupled with the rigidity of the Mechanicus, their war-making capabilities deteriorated drastically.

If Belisarius Caul hadn't been relatively enlightened, forging the Armor of Fate for Guilliman and having the Death Army perform a resurrection ritual, Guilliman would still be sleeping in the Stasis Field!

Macurag might be trapped in the burning flames of the galaxy.

"Dad, shouldn't we also get some tanks or something for our Astartes to use? It'll give us a resounding name if we start World War I..." Lin Dafa said, looking at the intelligence summary sent by Calga.

"Son of the People, what a awesome name! It also fits the definition of Astartes. To be honest, I'm not very interested in the garbage designed by the Empire. The rigid STC template is no longer suitable for war. Chaos monsters can be used as footballs, and they're still clinging to bomb guns and rapid-fire cannons..." Li Taiji sneered.

"Then we can modify it! Don't we have our own forging world?" Lin Dafa looked at the massive number of tanks with some envy. Although they weren't particularly strong, they were still much more powerful than ordinary Astartes! At least the terracotta armor was thick enough, and the larger tanks could carry more equipment. Perhaps they could really create a different kind of combat force...

"You can tell them about this yourself, there's no need to tell me. I didn't expect the Astartes Legion to be at the forefront. In the Legion's strangulation, they're no different from fuel. However, I can exchange for some tanks that you can use to increase the People's Guardians' frontal offensive capabilities. Our siege warfare capabilities are not strong. Apart from the Titans, our capabilities are worrying. Even the firepower company is not capable of handling siege warfare..." Li Taiji said.

"We've never actually launched a proper siege, not even once. It seems like we've always used infiltration attacks..." Lin Dafa said after thinking for a moment.

"Stop blindly following me. You should start thinking about tactics and deployment. We are different from the Extreme Warriors. We don't have as many resources and manpower. Our pace is different from theirs..." Li Taiji said.

Lin Dafa nodded, and began to think about it seriously...
