Warhammer: Empire Reboot

Thump————

The bells tolled for a long time.

This represents the emperor.

This time, even the nobles standing on the outermost edge lowered their heads, and the million-strong honor guard straightened their bodies at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the flagship cabin door slowly opened.

Two rows of Imperial Dark Side Guards stepped out first and took their fixed positions on either side of the connecting bridge.

Then, a tall figure appeared inside the hatch.

The entire holographic landscape of Terra simultaneously focuses the viewpoint on the past at this moment.

Lawson stepped out of the flagship.

He wore imperial gold armor, with shoulder armor extending outwards along his body and a cloak hanging down to his knees.

To his left is Ryan Aljonsen.

The Lion King was also dressed in full armor, with a long sword hanging at his waist.

He remained calm, only glancing at the distant palace as he stepped out of the cabin.

That was where his father once ruled the galaxy.

Ten thousand years later, he finally stood on Terra once again.

To the right of Lawson is Dante.

Based on his rank, he could have been ranked alongside any high lord.

But today, he deliberately lagged behind Lawson by half a step.

This is a public expression of the order of power.

Further behind were eighteen Primal-level Guardians.

The ceremony at Lionsgate Airport officially began.

Trajan Valoris was the first to raise the Watcher's Axe.

The next moment, all the Imperial Guards simultaneously slammed their Guardian Spears to the ground.

boom!

Thousands of spears struck the platform simultaneously.

The battle nuns raised their power swords, the Astral Army flag was lowered to their chests, and the Imperial Navy's ceremonial gunboats began firing.

Round after round.

The sound of artillery fire from the upper levels of the airport could be heard for dozens of kilometers.

The mechanical sage simultaneously activated the sound generator.

Deep, complex binary hymns emanated from their mechanical throats.

The National Education Choir followed closely behind.

The voices of thousands of people began to echo.

Ode to the Emperor.

The Terrans have been listening to those lyrics for ten thousand years.

Today, however, it was used for the first time to welcome an imperial ruler other than the emperor to the palace.

All the regular military flags were lowered towards Losen.

The nobles bowed, the military and political officials saluted, and the high lords also performed formal etiquette according to their respective status.

Laskian's mechanical body lowered its altitude, Frank bowed, and Danda saluted.

Lacillo's gaze briefly swept over the guards behind Lawson.

She knew that Kirill 9 was the very thing this man had snatched back from Comoros with just a few words, and then she lowered her head.

Lawson walked down the connecting bridge.

Guilliman went to meet him, and the two stopped a few steps apart.

Countless holographic cameras were focused on this scene.

On one side are the thirteen Primarchs who have regained control of the Empire, and on the other side is the current Emperor of the Empire who controls the dark side of the Empire.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Terra, their hands clasped together.

Guilliman solemnly said, "Welcome to Terra, Your Majesty."

Lawson nodded. "This is quite a problem."

Guilliman understood. "That's why I asked you to come."

Guilliman then looked at Lane.

The two simply nodded to each other.

Dante bowed to Guilliman, and Guilliman returned the bow.

Then, Dante took a half step back.

Lawson is in the center, Lane is on the left, and Guilliman is on the right.

The three walked side by side toward the main passageway of Lionsgate Airport.

This single scene caused a frenzy among the crowds watching the holographic livestream across Terra.

One Sealholder, two living Primarchs, and the three of them walked together toward the Imperial Palace.

Humanity has not seen such a scene for far too long since the Age of Expeditions.

But what truly shocked the Terrans was yet to come.

After the three of them, four living saints appeared.

Katarina and three others led three thousand combat nuns out of the flagship and the subsequent shuttle ships.

Three thousand people advanced in formation.

The reaction from the top echelons of the national education system was the most obvious.

When they saw that the four figures, regarded as imperial miracles by countless believers in the empire, were actually following in Lawson's group, their expressions completely changed.

These are four living saints.

Any one of them appearing alone in Terra would be enough to trigger a pilgrimage of hundreds of millions of people.

Now, however, they are both following behind the one who holds the seal.

Further back, heavy footsteps began to sound.

Thirty thousand heavily armed Xiongwei soldiers marched out in formation.

Covered in heavy armor and armed with weapons far exceeding those of ordinary Astartes, their ranks stretched across the entire main avenue.

The soldiers of the outer Star Realm Army couldn't help but turn their gazes over.

Many people were seeing Xiong Wei for the first time, and the pressure from this five-meter-tall behemoth was immense.

However, what truly captivates the eye is what lies behind Xiong Wei.

Thirty thousand Flying Bear motorcycles rose from the upper level of the airport, their anti-gravity propulsion systems maintaining minimum power, and the motorcycle formation slowly moved forward at a height of tens of meters above the ground.

Maintaining precise distances between the front and rear, the entire formation resembled a steel array suspended in the air.

Later, 300,000 Wolverine and Sabretooth robots appeared.

It was impossible for everyone of this size to squeeze onto the main road leading to the palace.

Lionsgate Airport had already completed the passenger diversion process ahead of schedule.

Different units deployed simultaneously via dozens of main roads, high-rise transport bridges, and air routes.

Only the leading, representative contingent continued to follow Lawson toward the palace.

The remaining troops moved into their designated encampment along the perimeter of Lions Gate Airport.

However, the holographic broadcast image is raised.

The entire Terran population could see the unfolding mechanical legion.

The Wolverine armored platforms were arranged in a column, while the Sabretooth heavy-duty hunting platforms moved slowly along the high-rise road.

The mechanical legs stepped over the metal platform, and each time they landed, they gently shook the nearby dust.

But this is still not the end of the line.

Finally, the Million Cornerstones appeared, all clad in power armor. Different formations entered the assembly area from various large passageways of the airport, their end invisible at a glance.

The holographic system constantly switches perspectives.

When viewed from the air, the entire outer platform of Lionsgate Airport is almost covered by neat human-shaped formations.

Terra's Astral Army officers fell silent, while the Mechanicus Sage's computing unit flickered incessantly.

For the first time, the high lords truly saw just how far the so-called "armies of the dark side of the empire" had expanded.

This was just the entourage and guards that Lawson brought to Terra; it was not a total mobilization for war, nor the main force of the Empire's dark side.

A Terran nobleman couldn't help but whisper to the person next to him, "Are these all his troops?"

The military officer next to him also didn't know how many men Lawson had.

The situation is even simpler for ordinary residents.

The ruler of the empire's dark side has arrived.

He brought with him the Lion King, Dante, four living saints, and hundreds of thousands of war machines.

And the Imperial Regent Guilliman stood personally on his right.

The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards led his troops to salute him.

The High Lord bowed his head.

The state religion sang his praises.
