Warhammer 40 Unorthodox Primarch

The Imperial Guards' departure was a significant improvement, as Li Taiji's act of paying taxes was the greatest respect he could show them, and the Imperial Guards recognized the actions and loyalty of the people's protectors.

Therefore, the Imperial Guard showed sufficient respect for the Primarch's request. The active Imperial Guard would not leave Terra to follow Li Taiji, as protecting the Emperor was their only and eternal mission.

The only ones who can guide Li Taiji and the guardians of the people are retired veterans...

A month later, a tall old man in black robes appeared in the monastery fortress of Aurelia. Although he did not have the golden armor of the Imperial Guards or make a majestic appearance, even Li Taiji felt the danger!

This was a feeling I'd never had even when facing Angron; this man was no ordinary member of the Imperial Guard…

"The Twenty-One Gene Primarch! I am the one you want. I can feel your purity, and the gaze of the Emperor..." The hood was lifted, and a resolute man with a weathered air appeared in front of Li Taiji.

This person was significantly taller than the average Imperial Guard. At least the People's Guardians did not have an absolute height advantage in front of him. It should be noted that, to some extent, height and physique represent strength in this world and the universe...

"I can also sense that you are no ordinary Imperial Guard. Can you tell me your name?" Li Taiji stood up from his chair and walked towards the wanderer.

The Wanderers are retired members of the Imperial Guard, though it's not really a matter of true retirement. They are the intelligence and scouts within the Imperial Guard, not the group that stayed within the Terra Palace. In the eyes of the Wanderers, those people are just naive children, except for Constantinevaldo, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard.

"You can call me Longinus, there's no need to mention my real name..." This man in black robes, Longinus, didn't say much, nor was he arrogant; he simply had a sense of having seen through the ages.

"You are the first generation of Imperial Guards!" Li Taiji was somewhat shocked.

The first batch of the Imperial Guard was small, only ten men! Among them was the famous Constantine Waldo. These ten men were the template for all the Imperial Guards, and they could be said to be legends. Their experiences spanned almost the entire process of the Empire's rise and fall. Even the Thunder Warriors were once eliminated by the Imperial Guards. Only that batch of Imperial Guards was created by the Emperor himself!

Although the Imperial Guards have slowly recovered in number, they are still far fewer than the original 10,000-man regiment, let alone the original Imperial Guards...

"Yes! But it's meaningless now. The Imperial Guard failed in their duty, and that is a crime! The Wanderers don't deserve names..." Longinus said calmly.

Li Taiji was secretly delighted: He had struck gold! Li Taiji knew that none of the original Imperial Guards had survived. Of the ten, only the Grand Marshal was known to have survived; the rest had vanished without a trace. Furthermore, the original Imperial Guards were basically immortals! Or immortal beings, so Longinus becoming a Wanderer wasn't due to a decline in his reflexes or anything like that; there were definitely other reasons!

But no matter what, coming to the People's Guardians is a treasure! This is a true elder, the kind of person who has matured with age! The Imperial Guards are not brutes; they are masters in every field! Whether it's combat, governance, art, or creation…

"No! The Imperial Guards are still glorious, the Imperial Guards are not wrong! Everything is the Emperor's arrangement, no one can see through the fate arranged by the Emperor! Perhaps the Guardians of the People are your best home and place! Look how good these guys are! Once they are trained, they will definitely be powerful..." Li Taiji quickly offered his advice and respect.

"Primarch, forgive my bluntness, but these people are utterly weak. No one could survive in a true battle..." Longinus spoke calmly, but it was practically a direct attack aimed at everyone. His emotional intelligence was off the charts...

"Old man! What are you saying! If you're not convinced, let's fight! What do you mean you're weak? I am the champion handpicked by Emperor Lin Dafa!" Lin Dafa stepped forward, wielding a large stun gun.

"One move!" Longinus said calmly.

"Huh?" Lin Dafa was a little incredulous.

"Alright! I want to see too! Mr. Longinus! You'll be the head coach of the People's Guardians from now on! Their weakness before was due to their nature, but if they're still weak in the future, it'll be because you didn't teach them well! Come on! Let's try it! Let's try it! Duel pit! Let's get this going!" Li Taiji quickly said.

At this moment, several Astartes from the Blood Ravens, who had been watching the spectacle, came running over carrying an exceptionally large Imperial Guard halberd. Upon seeing this, Longinus was taken aback, and a change appeared in his eyes, which were no longer calm and composed.

"Where did you get this?" Longinus asked the Blood Ravens, picking up the halberd.

"My lord, we found these on an ancient battlefield, and we also collected the bodies of several Imperial Guards..." Gabriel said respectfully.

"Ah..." Longinus sighed almost inaudibly.

He then walked down into the duel pit dressed in ordinary clothes.

Lin Dafa jumped into the duel pit. He immediately used psionic control. Before the blue and white lightning could be released, in that brief moment, the Imperial Guard's halberd had already pierced through his head...

With a flash of white light, Lin Dafa appeared next to Li Taiji, looking completely bewildered.

"Holy crap! Dad! Have I died once already?" Lin Dafa asked incredulously.

He hadn't even seen when his opponent attacked; this was the first time he'd died so inexplicably! He was starting to lose his composure…

"Hmm!" Li Taiji grunted, which enraged Lin Dafa, who charged back into the dueling pit, only to be beheaded the next instant...

And so, Lin Dafa was always taken down in a single, simple move, without even having a chance to unleash his spiritual energy...

The psionicists were so vulnerable in front of the Imperial Guard, and Longinus wasn't wearing power armor! Li Taiji suddenly realized that the connection between the Imperial Guard and the Silent Sisters was a complete misconception!

It's not that they lack defenses against psionic energy; it's just that the opponent they're dealing with is of a much higher level! Ordinary people have no chance against that kind of speed and skill…

Not only Lin Dafa broke through his defenses, but all the people in the People's Guardians who were known for their fighting skills broke through their defenses. He could defeat anyone with a single move!

Li Taiji could track the trajectory of the power halberd, but even he wouldn't dare say he could kill the veteran of the Imperial Guard without taking any damage. Li Taiji's biggest weakness was his lack of skill and technique; the other soldier had only used one hand to wield the power halberd from beginning to end! There was hardly any skill involved…

Lin Dafa finally cried after being beaten...

"Old man! You're bullying me! You're bad! Grandpa! What are you doing! What is this...?" Lin Dafa revived after the power halberd pierced his mouth, and then sat on the ground crying.

"Fighting is an art. Want to learn?" Longinus stepped forward and asked.

"I want to! Hehe! Master! Teach me..." Lin Dafa immediately changed his tune. If he couldn't beat them, he'd join them. Lin Dafa had no qualms whatsoever. Everyone gained a new understanding of this guy's shamelessness. One second he was sitting on the ground wailing, the next he was clinging to someone's leg. Lin Dafa was the epitome of the moral bottom line for the people's guardians...

"Hmm! I can teach you, but your bodies are still far from up to par. You simply cannot reach the physical fitness of the Imperial Guard. But this is already quite an achievement..." Longinus said, putting down his halberd.
