"Oh, Malcador, oh." Aurora sighed repeatedly in a pretentious manner. She clearly had only a vague understanding of the situation, but she insisted on pretending to know everything, which really made Hui Le speechless.

Huile rolled his eyes and decided not to pay attention to Aurora's pretentious appearance, and turned his attention back to the duel.

At this moment, the two warriors on the field were fighting fiercely. The giant swords in their hands emitted loud roars and collided with each other to create brilliant sparks. Every attack and defense was accompanied by a contest of strength and skill.

"I have to say, their fighting skills have improved a lot." Hui Le broke the brief silence and tried to divert the topic away from those frustrating political orders.

"Well, of course. Our rigorous training is not in vain." Aurora raised her chin, a hint of pride in her eyes.

Although she had just been complaining about being recalled, she was still quite satisfied with the training results of the soldiers.

"Stop raising your chin so much, with your nose pointing upwards, and you can't even see the duel arena! Look, your two sons are getting really angry." Hui Le urged.

Aurora quickly straightened her posture and refocused her attention on the duel arena.

The two fighters seemed to be really angry at this moment, their attacks became more and more fierce, completely losing the restraint they had just shown in their fight.

"What's wrong with them? It's just an ordinary competition, why are they so impulsive?" Aurora frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.

Huile shook his head slightly, also expressing his incomprehension.

As he spoke, one of the warriors suddenly exerted force, forcing his opponent into a corner, raising his weapon high, and was about to chop down with all his strength.

"Stop!" Aurora shouted, her voice echoing in the duel arena.

The soldier holding the weapon paused, as if suddenly coming to his senses, and slowly put down the weapon.

The other soldier was also breathing slightly, with an expression of unwillingness and regret on his face.

Aurora walked forward and glanced over the two of them.

"As warriors, you should vent your anger on your enemies, not lose your temper during a sparring match. I don't want to hear who's right or wrong in this fight. All of you, go to the confinement room."

Aurora looked serious, and her tone was filled with unquestionable authority.

The two warriors bowed their heads and said in unison, "Yes, sir."

Huile also stepped forward and patted the two men on the shoulders. "You must always remain calm and rational to be a qualified warrior. Now, both of you go and receive your punishment."

The two soldiers lowered their heads and headed towards the confinement room like children who had made a mistake.

"Go on." Aurora turned around and returned to her original position.

Carl shouted from the side: "Next game, Einkar vs. Lasert!"

Hui Le turned to Aurora and said, "Your men think too highly of you. Because you kept your eyes fixed on the arena, they almost fought to the death."

Aurora said with a puzzled look on her face: "Is my charm really that great?"

Before this, she always boasted about her beauty, saying that she was so beautiful that the moon could hide and the flowers could shame them. But in fact, even she herself did not quite believe it, after all, all her brothers and sisters were outstanding in appearance.

She's just a little narcissistic.

Hui Le explained, "This is worship and obedience that comes from a genetic level, and it's unconditional. To get even a second of your attention in the arena, they're willing to trade injuries, even their lives, just to get a little scolding or punishment from you. That's all."

At this moment, Aurora reached up and gently stroked her chin, lost in thought. After a moment, her eyes lit up, and she said, "I think I could send them the selfies in my room. This way, I can avoid being called narcissistic and more people can see my stunning beauty."

When Hui Le heard this, he looked helpless. He raised his hand and gently patted his forehead, sighing: "...It's really hopeless."

At this moment, Einkar and Raslt in the arena were fighting extremely restrainedly.

The reason is simple: the two of them only want to get praise from their "mother" Aurora, not a scolding.

Therefore, they tried hard to suppress the desire and anger in their hearts, and even deliberately controlled the strength of each attack.

After all, Primarch Aurora was watching them intently. This invisible pressure forced them to remain restrained at all times even though they were eager to release their lust and anger.

Every move they made was cautious and careful, and they would occasionally glance at Aurora, trying to catch even a hint of approval from her expression.

Aurora narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully observed the performance of the two people on the field.

She could see the restraint of the two men. She was pleased that they cared about her, but she also felt that such a competition seemed to lack the intensity and edge it should have.

"You two, fight as hard as you can. Don't worry about your lives because I'm here."

Aurora shouted, her voice echoing throughout the arena.

Hearing Aurora's call, Einkar and Raslt looked at each other, with a spark of excitement in their eyes.

They got permission and finally didn't have to be so restrained anymore.

Einkar was the first to attack. His body was as fast as lightning and as fast as the speed of sound. He rushed towards Raslt, and the weapon in his hand chopped down fiercely with a whistling sound.

Raslt was not to be outdone. He quickly dodged to the side and stabbed Einkar in the waist with his backhand.

The two of them immediately launched a fierce attack, hitting each other with fierce moves.

The fighters outside the field cheered for the two of them, Come on!

Sparks flew from the collision of weapons as the two figures moved swiftly across the arena, each attack and defense filled with power and violence.

They released all the suppressed emotions, giving their all in every move, all eager to show their strongest side in this battle and win Aurora's praise.

Hui Le watched the change in the battle situation from the side and nodded slightly, "That's more like it. A true warrior should have such passion and fighting spirit."

Aurora's mouth corners curled up slightly.

And so the Primarch watched from the arena, more than a dozen rounds of fighting, until the Solar Glory docked on the planet Terra.

……

The iron boots stepped firmly on the palace floor paved with carefully polished marble, making a crisp sound.

Hui Le looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't realize it, and it has been decades since I came back. This place is still the same." His words were full of sighs for the passage of time and nostalgia for the past.

A servant came hurriedly, knelt respectfully before them, and said, "Your Highnesses, please follow me. The two Prime Ministers have been waiting for a long time." After that, the servant lowered his head, quickly stood up, and walked forward with small steps.

His figure appeared extremely timid and his attitude was extremely respectful.

Even if he was just leading the way in front of the Primarch, one could clearly feel that he was under tremendous pressure from the Primarch. He took every step carefully and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Huile and Aurora looked at each other and followed the servants.

Along the way, the gorgeous decorations of the palace passed by them, but neither of them had the heart to appreciate them.

The attendants led them through a long corridor, and it was so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

Finally, in front of a huge gilded door, the attendant stopped, respectfully pushed it open, and whispered, "Your Highnesses, please come in."

Stepping into the room, Huile and Aurora saw the two prime ministers standing in front of a huge star map and talking.

It was Malcador and Yuanming.

Seeing them come in, the two prime ministers turned around and smiled.

"Welcome back, two Primarchs. We have urgently summoned you back to discuss important matters." The gray-haired Malcador spoke first.

Aurora raised her eyebrows slightly and said bluntly, "What's so important that you have to recall us from the battlefield? I hope it's not some insignificant matter."

The other Prime Minister, Yuanming, coughed lightly and said, "Of course, this is a matter of great importance to the safety of the empire, and we need your help."

Aurora walked over carelessly, picked up the fruit plate on Malcador's table without hesitation, reached out and grabbed a piece of fruit at random, and put it into her mouth to chew.

Hui Le looked puzzled and asked, "But for something like this, summoning one Primarch should be enough. Why do you have to recall Aurora and me together?"

Her eyes moved between the two prime ministers' faces, trying to find the answer from their expressions.

Malcador looked at the young man helplessly, only to see that he actually handed the fruit plate on his table to Aurora, who was already unrestrained. Aurora still accepted it and continued to eat with relish.

Malcador thought to himself, it seems that this kid is not going to speak anymore, and he has to let an old guy like me break the silence.

He coughed lightly, his eyes sweeping over Aurora and Huile, and he slowly said, "This situation is complex, involving multifaceted strategic deployments and response strategies. You two Primarchs have strengths in different fields. Aurora is experienced in tactical execution and frontline command, and can quickly perceive the battlefield situation; and Huile, your understanding of machinery and technology, and your unique insights into the deployment of weapons and equipment and the planning of defensive fortifications. The predicament facing the Empire today requires your collective wisdom and strength, so I have summoned you all back.

"Can you focus on the key points and speak properly, Malcador?" Hui Le interrupted without any hesitation.

"Okay, let me be frank. I just want you to recruit soldiers, recruit soldiers, and recruit more soldiers." Macador said helplessly.

"Why?" Aurora asked with a puzzled look on her face, with fruit still stuffed in her mouth. The flesh burst in her mouth, and the tip of her tongue was covered with fine pieces of flesh.

"Because Terra is implementing reforms. In short, they are going to conduct a comprehensive cleanup of places like low nests and hive cities. The people cleared out will be incorporated into your two legions and auxiliary forces."

Malcador explained, while keeping the deeper reasons buried deep in his heart.

How could he possibly say something like "You Primarchs will rebel"? That was undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to sow discord between the Primarchs' brothers and sisters.

It would be better to find a way to improve the combat effectiveness of all legions. In this way, everyone becomes stronger, which is equivalent to no one becoming stronger.

Yuanming, who was standing aside, looked at the old man and muttered to himself, "He's really cunning and calculating."

"!Ah, you called us back just for this? Can't you recruit soldiers in Terra and then send them to us?" Hui Le was furious and couldn't help but question.

Aurora also stared at Malcador and the young man with dissatisfaction.

Malcador quickly raised his hand in a soothing gesture, saying, "Please calm down, both of you. There is one more thing I would like to ask of you. I would like to ask you to step forward for a few days. The Emperor has been away from Terra for far too long, as has the Regent. The people are in urgent need of comfort, and those in charge are also in a state of panic..."

"What does this have to do with us? This is something you should worry about!" Hui Le interrupted Malcador again without mercy.

"But we are, after all, nothing more than servants of your parents. We have only been managing this empire for them." Malcador retorted, looking at Huile and Aurora calmly.

"We have never exercised the power of masters, but you are different."

He paused slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of depth, as if hinting at the special mission and responsibility shouldered by the Primarchs.

Hui Le frowned and snorted coldly, "Don't use this excuse to pressure us. We fought for the empire on the front lines, fighting for our lives, only to come back and support you and handle these trivial matters that should have been your responsibility?"

Aurora tossed the remaining fruit core in her hand and crossed her arms. "Malcador, you know how important our Primarchs are to the Legion. If you recall us to do this, what will happen to the Legion? If the situation changes, who will bear the consequences?"

Malcador's expression was solemn as he spoke slowly, "I understand your concerns, but Terra's stability is crucial to the very foundation of the Imperium. However, I promise that upon completion, I will provide each of you with a full set of Void Armor worth 2. Please do not refuse. The Emperor has been absent for a long time."

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want us to do?" Aurora relaxed a little and her tone softened a little.

A flicker of relief flashed in Malcador's eyes, and he spoke hastily, "It's simple. Over the next few days, there will be a series of rallies for the people and officials at all levels. All you need to do is attend and speak a few words, expressing your loyalty to the Emperor's will and your faith in the Imperium's future. Let everyone know that even though the Emperor has not yet returned, the Imperium still has a powerful force to protect it and a clear direction to move forward."

Chapter 352: Increase troops, increase troops or increase troops?

Aurora curled her lips: "Is it that simple? Why do I feel it's not that easy?"

Malcador smiled wryly and shook his head. "The matter itself isn't difficult, but it's of great significance. Your presence will be like a stabilizing force, calming people's hearts."

The two Primarchs strolled around the office of Malcador and Yuanming for a long time, and without any hesitation, they collected all the snacks there, and also picked up a lot of good things in their eyes, and then left in a swagger.

Yuanming watched them leave, then turned to Malcador and said, "You still haven't told the truth. To justify your rather lame excuse, you even gave away 6 sets of Void Armor. This Void Armor is incredibly valuable; it's the top-tier armor the Human Empire can currently mass-produce."

Malcador sighed slightly and said, "Some things can only be buried deep in the heart. They must never be spoken out loud, and they must never be made aware of them."

"Beings like them are not suitable for knowing, whether it involves matters like possible betrayal by siblings or deeper secrets."

“Although they are Primarchs, they are too sensitive to these sensitive issues and their minds are still immature.

To me, the Emperor, and the other Eternals, who have seen the passage of time, the Primarchs are like teenagers, their minds far from being able to properly deal with these complexities."

"So this secret must be kept strictly," Malcador said with a serious expression and a determined gaze. "This is not only for the stability of the Imperium, but also for their protection. If the truth is revealed, the unrest caused by the Primarch will be difficult to prevent..."

The two fell into a brief silence, each thinking about the various situations that might follow from this incident.

After a moment, Malcador broke the silence. "Next, we will closely monitor the situation at the two Primarchs' stations, ensuring that everything proceeds smoothly and reassuring the people and officials at all levels."

"Understood." Yuanming responded, "I will arrange people to keep an eye on it, and report to you immediately if there is any disturbance." After that, the two began to discuss the specific details of the platform activities and the contingency plan for dealing with emergencies.

Just as Malcador and Yuanming were busy discussing the follow-up matters, the people in Terra had already heard the news that the two Primarchs would be attending the rally.

There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, and the people had complicated emotions, full of anticipation but also a hint of uneasiness.

At the site, workers are racing against time to make the final arrangements.

The huge holographic projection equipment was debugged to the best condition, and the stage was surrounded by flags symbolizing the glory of the empire.

After Aurora and Huile returned to their residence, they each fell into deep thought. Aurora played with the little gadget she had taken from Malcador, thinking about Malcador's evasive attitude, and always felt that things were not that simple.

Huile sat by the window, looking at the night view of Terra, thinking about the balance between the Legion and this platform mission.

"There must be something else behind this." Aurora broke the silence and looked at Hui Le. "That old fox Malcador definitely didn't tell the whole truth."

Hui Le nodded. "I think so too. But now we can only follow his arrangements and take it one step at a time. Let's deal with the platform issue first, and then find a chance to figure out what's going on."

……

Beside Aurora, her honor guard stood ready.

As the most powerful existence in the Second Legion, they acted quickly like loyal bodyguards, blocking the crowd trying to rush forward from under the platform.

The Primarch spoke from above.

It will all be over soon!

The Primarchs all wanted to leave quickly.

After all, who could like such a scene?
