Warhammer, from Gothic Fleet to Azur Lane

But Salmin was willing to "help" them. He wanted to help Dame, but the other way around was also possible - Ron, who had been dealing with government affairs with him for a month, could no longer suppress his violent killing urge. Two great demon-level fighters with anti-psychic powers, what do you think? This "gift" is heavy enough, right?

The battlecruiser formation in a round array of anti-aircraft formations quickly dispersed under his control, blocking the Eldar from covering the boarding fleet while allowing the Flame Storm Dragon Ship "Black Erosion" that was guarded by layers of guards to come in. The array quickly closed in again, and the bombardment from both sides dispersed the Eldar force while completely blocking the Black Erosion's retreat.

At this moment, the Black Invader, who was charging too fast and too easily, realized something was wrong. It seemed that I was not the one who broke through the layers of blockades under the cover of my companions, but was let in by this group of wild monkeys... on their own initiative?

The single ship was located between the enemy's main battle fleet and the battlecruiser formation without a single shot fired at them. Such a weird scene, even the two radical bishops could not say without a brain that it was because humans were afraid of them that they easily broke through the blockade, and even they wanted to find a glimmer of hope.

But it was too late. The human fleet was in chaos due to the sudden attack and they had no chance of boarding. The enemy fleet that had encircled them turned these noble Eldar into turtles in a jar. As long as there was the slightest movement, the dense spears of light would destroy the entire warship in an instant.

This warship, full of history and honor, had played tricks on the fleet of Scarus many times, plundering the monkeys like the god of death and selling them to their disgusting cousins. But now it was "fixed" in this sea of ​​stars like a bug in amber, motionless.

Ah, how sad it is, how much this warship looks like the Eldar now! The bishop wailed twistedly and ordered to abandon the ship. This was a trap, but fortunately they still had the webway to evacuate, rather than being buried with this warship full of history and honor.

They still have a chance to atone for their sins - those wild monkeys in the agricultural world, the holy shrine world, and the barren world are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the noble elves. He will use the blood of billions of wild monkeys to wash away this shame!

Just as they were regrouping and preparing to return to Ostara to seek revenge, the surprised shouts of their men interrupted the images in his mind that could only please Kane and even make Old K unhappy. "The Barbarian Monkeys are jumping to help us!"

Chapter 16 Ron's Solo Show

The surprised shouts of his men were like a bolt of lightning that shattered the haze in his heart, and a glimmer of hope suddenly emerged in the despair. Although he failed to board the ship successfully, if humans boarded the ship with us, it would still be considered a boarding ship. He even had a delusion in his mind - if he could capture an important member of the enemy, could he save his Black Invader?

Even though he knew that it was impossible based on the human's past performance, but this time the human was actually going to capture him. Even if the probability was one in ten thousand, he still wanted to try to save his beloved ship!

As for the outcome of the boarding, wasn't victory inevitable? Without the help of those canned foods, ordinary wild monkeys would only be slaughtered one-sidedly when facing these noble true elves. What he needed to consider was that it was very difficult to control the force of stepping over the ants without crushing them to death.

As it happens, Ron doesn't have to think about this. Salmin is deciding to use the tragic state of this ship as an example, and the order he issued is "It is best to accept surrender." And with Ron's twisted personality that is absolutely the most suitable for Warhammer 40k, he can basically take that sentence as "Kill at will."

There is no doubt that Salmin favors Roan. Not only because Roan's appearance and figure appeal to him, but also because her absolute, scorching, twisted love wraps him tightly, which is outrageous even among the ship girls who lick each other's boots.

He naturally enjoyed and indulged in this absolutely tolerant love. How could Salmin, who grew up in a loveless environment in modern society, resist this kind of lover who treats you as his whole self and serves you. Therefore, even if Roan has psychological defects, Salmin is willing to tolerate and even support her desire for killing that leans towards the realm of Slaanesh.

When Khorne, who was eager for him, only gave him a name and had no power to drag him into the illusory desert like Rogal Dorn for hundreds of years, Salmin couldn't help but relax his vigilance - the Untouchables were awesome, and if they didn't take the initiative to enter the Chaos Realm, the Four Gods really couldn't do anything to them.

In other words, as long as they don't enter the Chaos Realm, they won't be corrupted. In this way, some of the originally extreme behaviors become acceptable, and this is exactly why Salmin dares to openly "declare war" on the Four Gods and forcefully intervene in the 13th Black Crusade. Since he will not be retaliated easily, he dares to intervene in many things to completely rewrite the original ending.

It is also because of this layer of protection that after the Battle of the Hive City, Salmin was more and more inclined to spread out the ship girls to play their powerful role independently. Either to handle government affairs or to lead an army alone, or like Roan now, to be launched as a decisive weapon.

The boarding of the decisive weapon is naturally different. As a ship girl, Roan naturally boarded with a ship suit, or to be more precise, her mechanical dragon. I don't know if it's because the Imperial German flavor is too strong or because of the major upgrade of the ship, in short, everyone has a ship suit dragon. No need to work in a coffee shop, it's free when you come (Bismarck clicked a thumbs-up).

When the mere 40-meter-long mechanical dragon half-folded its wings and hid in the 60-70-meter-long furious group of machines, no one actually noticed the gray wolf hiding in the group of huskies. But the moment it stopped pulling away from the group of machines, this warlord-class Titan-sized behemoth could no longer hide in the shadows.

The Titan dragon with the traditional iron-blooded black and red paint suddenly spread its wings, announcing its arrival to the Eldar warships that were close at hand! The dazzling aurora was flashing under the steel wings that were over 100 meters long - the four Glory Queen Light Lance turrets were not just for show, they opened fire without even charging!

It was just a flash of light, and under the terrifying power of the Queen of Glory's Light Spear, the fragile holographic shield of the Black Corruptor, along with the Wraithbone hull, turned into a huge hole that penetrated the entire warship. However, this was only part of the boarding process, and no one had ever said that Titans could not board.

However, the might of the Titan Dragon was far from being comparable to that of the World Devourer's dog tank. With a flap of its wings, the Titan Dragon burst out with its true speed, cutting through the anti-aircraft barrage that had just reacted like a thunderbolt, and fiercely slammed into the delicate body of the Eldar warship in the shining blue light of the void shield!

——! The violent impact almost shook the entire battleship. Two Titan dragons landed on the isolated island in the most brutal way. A unique battle royale began, but the privateer group that had been players before was now reduced to "players". However, they are all players, right?

As a dragon ship, the Black Corroder is a standard cruiser with a length of 6.7 km and a weight of 62 million tons (62000000 tons). Although the Eldar waste tonnage far more than the Empire, which inherited the British naval tradition of not treating people as human beings, the interior of the Black Corroder can be regarded as a small city with a population of to .

Now, there were only about 1,600 Eldar in this underworld Eldar city that looked like the Eldar map. Logically, there was no chance that a hunter with only two people would have much gaming experience. However, Ron didn't care whether the buildings could be destroyed or not. The exquisite buildings carved by the Eldar over millions of years only increased their desire for destruction.

As soon as it appeared, the scorching light spear destroyed the simulated atmosphere inside the starship. The ship girl had never used the light spear weapon in the atmosphere before, all for the sake of the planetary environment. The first person to be ignited by the light spear was definitely not the enemy, just like now, the scene played out in the Eldar city was a complete hell.

The sky was on fire.

The air was the first object ignited by the light spear. Under the burning heat brought by the light spear, the empty atmosphere became a solid entity that could be hit. Expansion! Endless expansion, followed by the most extreme explosion and flames! Almost in an instant, before anyone could react, the entire city was ravaged by repeated explosions, shocks, and flames.

When the dragon's wings swept over the originally gorgeous and luxurious city, it became a hell on earth, the ruins of Sodom, and even the largest ruins were covered with a layer of charred war by repeated flames. The only traces of the Eldar were the broken bones, and even the whimpering of the wind disappeared.

Lost its atmosphere, lost any traces of civilization, lost the last breath of life. There was no doubt that the city had turned into a true dead zone within ten seconds - the Empire had one more extermination order that could be executed.

The surrender of the Eldar, whose radical main forces were wiped out by the Emperor's Earth-shattering Fist, was inevitable - no matter how powerful the Eldar warriors were, it was impossible for them to survive such a blow. No, the dragon seemed to have discovered something wrong in the wreckage. Could anyone really survive such a disaster?

The void shield that came with the ship tore apart large pieces of wreckage when it landed. The soul stones that were either scattered or pushed into the air and spinning and floating indicated that this was not an ordinary open space, but an important place where the main force of the Eldar had gathered before. It was a pity that all that remained in front of Ron was half a broken red body - the incarnation of Kane.

The black and red power claws steadily took on The Wailing Doom. Although the Empire abandoned this ominous weapon after the Horus Heresy (the first old man to use the power claws: Huh?), this did not affect the power of the weapon itself. The flashing decomposition field crushed the bright giant sword into a ball of scrap metal under the powerful wrist strength of the ship girl.

The dim giant sword fragments just slipped quietly from the gap of the power claws, and merged into the dead ruins together with the equally dim wreckage of Kane's incarnation. Unlike what Salmin thought, Ron didn't care much about the pleasure of killing, or everything else was not worth mentioning compared to the commander.

In their eyes, this was just a task to separate themselves from their favorite commander. "Ahaha, the annoying bugs were dealt with as quickly as possible. Every second away from the commander is absolutely, absolutely unacceptable!" Although they also knew that Salmin's real intention was to let them vent and relax.

But Ron didn't want to. She didn't want her beloved commander to accommodate her preferences. She knew that the commander didn't like the guys who were tortured and killed, but he kept accommodating them because he loved them. But what if she had to hurt the commander's heart to satisfy her own desires? When she thought of this, Ron wanted to tear her heart out.

Ron has been changing for the commander, changing her bad nature! From fighting for favor, tearing flesh and blood to restraining the blade and leaving her own scent with an embrace that embraces all rivers... The ultimate love is one-sided, she has always adhered to this concept. What makes her sweet and distressed is that the commander does not seem to think so.

After finally confirming that there were no more survivors, a sweet smile appeared on his face again, and Ron opened his overly full arms to the floating screen in front of him, "Commander, the evening government time must be exchanged for rewards, we are a little unsatisfied~"

Chapter 17: The Skarus-Ostara Treaty of Friendship

After the radicals were crushed without resistance, the old prophet of the surrender faction (prophecy faction) quickly took control of the situation and signed an unequal treaty with Salmin under the pretext of saving the glorious Black Corroder. Although there was no formal surrender, Salmin did not want that in the first place.

As the sole ruler of Scarus, he did not need to be accountable to anyone. It was fine for the war to be neither good nor bad. Anyway, the most important interests were not lost at all. He even sold the Eldar's face, the Black Eroder and the soul bones on it for a good price.

The two sides finally signed the "Skarus-Ostara Treaty of Friendship" on the Agamemnon-class high-speed battleship Missouri. Salmin also played a joke, but unfortunately no one understood it.

The treaty stipulates that the Ostara Eldar agree to open the two webway hubs of Shimoda and Hakodate, and ships registered in the Skarrus sector can freely navigate the webway connecting these two webway hubs, but have the obligation to defend the webway when necessary. The treaty also allows the Skarrus sector government to station consuls in the two ports and enjoy most-favored-nation treatment.

The Webway is the foundation of the Eldar, but perhaps because his was the only Craft World still alive and well near the Eye of Terror, after the Chaos invasion, faced with the tragic future of his entire family and ancestors being sent to the Silver Palace of Slaanesh and the threat of force from Thalmin, he finally surrendered and was even willing to provide some maps of the Webway and navigators, with only one request.

The old prophet wanted to build a bridge between Salmin and the Death Army. It was said that there was an event that had a great impact on the Empire and the Death Army and needed his help. Salmin probably knew what the Death Army was going to do, so he smiled strangely and agreed, which frightened the old prophet.

But this reminded Salmin that before the Death God completely appeared on the historical stage, he had to go to Belia IV to get a good thing, the fourth of the Crone's Swords, the Sword of Ten Thousand Souls! After he got this sword first, wouldn't the Death God Army that couldn't defeat him be at his mercy? He had always been curious about one thing. The Eldar Ark could use psychic energy, so could the Eldar Ark Ship Girl use psychic energy?

Apart from the treaty, the provisions on technological and cultural reciprocity in people's livelihood were not signed - the Empire and the Eldar had completely different worldviews and values, and even their definitions of beauty might be different. In terms of military affairs, the cooperation between the two sides was even greater.

At the end of the 41st Millennium, the Eldar and the Empire had the same enemy, and after determining that both sides were fighting to prevent the opening of the Great Rift, the Old Prophet even agreed to send two teams of war wizards proficient in prophecy and counter-prophecy to assist him in solving some troubles in the Immaterial Realm.

Although the Eldar's prophecy has many problems, there is no doubt that they are far more proficient in this area than humans. Even if they don't predict, focusing on executing the counter-prophecy is a great help. Salmin also naturally released the Eldar captives he had captured before, which was considered a return of favor.

These are all minor matters. There is not much for the Eldar to pay attention to right now. After renting the webway, he only needs three days to jump from Skarrus to Cadia with his army. There is still forty days, so there is no need to rush. All he has to do now is wait until the army is in place. He will sit in the Crown of Thrace and assign tasks to his subordinates like a real governor.

Saratoga is not only stable enough, but also a Beta-type Queen of Glory-class battleship. It is a natural material for field work. The Chaos Fleet has been holding back on its fleet and has only increased its fleet, so they took this opportunity to let it lead the army, with one Beta-type Queen of Glory, two Shana-class mechanical arks, two Styx-class battlecruisers, five Hellbringer-class light cruisers, and seventeen Destroyer-class destroyers.

The Chaos Fleet has had a vacancy of 500 points after adding four non-retirable ship girls. During this period, Salmin did not waste these 500 points. Anyway, the Chaos Fleet is really very cheap, and the Astartes really save money in non-combat situations. After he picked out the normal Astartes as middle and senior management personnel, the remaining CSM only cost some slaves.

Coincidentally, the purge of Scarus had no shortage of prisoners. The original death penalty in the Empire was to turn them into servitors, but Salmin added another hidden clause, sending them to the Chaos Astartes ship. This not only punished those insects whose crimes were too outrageous, but also allowed them to show their last value, a win-win situation. It means that Salmin won twice.

As for the Black Oiler, no, Salmin did not build a Shana-class mechanical ark with personnel. It was an empty ship without a demon engine or a Black Oiler. If the Alpha Legion was still useful, the Black Oiler immersed in the evil power of chaos was absolutely untrustworthy.

Anyway, the technical sergeant's technology alone is at the sage level. The mechanical Ark can be used as long as there are sages and mechanical servants. It doesn't matter whether it is useful or not. But the current Chaos Fleet is indeed the advance fleet and even the most important high-end factory in the entire Skarus. There are five Arks, and although there are only three Arks of finished products available due to personnel and Chaos issues, this is enough to meet the total output of a medium-sized foundry planet.

Moreover, the Chaos fleet has also contributed to the Mechanicus's obedience. Three Shana-class mechanical arks, carrying a large number of Chaos battlecruisers and light cruisers, circled the two forge planets for a few days, and they immediately knelt down and asked for protection. What the Thalmin wanted was only the technology of the Mechanicus, but what the Black Oilers wanted was their brains.

After clearing the house, Skarus will enter its real development period. External threats have not yet arrived, and the internal chaos has been cleared. Skarus is now the star region with the greatest development prospects in the entire empire. The empire is a backward agricultural country, where the means of production are highly monopolized, and the production method is mainly manpower assisted by machinery.

If a backward agricultural country wants to industrialize quickly, there are only two ways: external plunder and the gap between industry and agriculture. But Scarus is different in one way. His military strength is far stronger than the industrialized Scarus Mechanicus, so he can do both.

While demanding that the Skarrus Mechanicum fulfill its duties as an imperial order and export a large amount of weapons in exchange for protection, Salmin used agricultural surpluses and natural resources in exchange for the Mechanicum to open a large number of information temples and branch factories throughout the territory. This also generated a foreign trade surplus, accumulated capital, and laid the foundation for the development of industry.

Then comes the big one, the planned economy.

Due to his busy government affairs, Salmin had never really implemented it, but had mainly focused on the rationing system to ensure food and clothing for all the people. Although he had no intention of developing any thoughts in this terrible world - the class contradictions in the empire were not the main contradictions, he was also willing to show how a truly excellent political system develops a country.

Chapter 18: Planned Economy and Toilets

When you think of the Soviet planned economy, do you first think of rigid and stereotyped orders and strong bureaucracy? The Soviet Union did have similar problems, but the Soviet planned economy was by no means a product of random ideas, but had a rigorous mathematical foundation. Among them, we have to mention the soul of the planned economy - the great Soviet mathematician Leonid Kantorovich.

In his book "THE BEST USE OF ECONOMIC RESOURCES" published in 1959, Kantorovich further elaborated on the problem and proposed a complete set of methods for optimizing production plans under different constraints - building topological relationships between production nodes, building input-output matrices and intermediate matrices, and searching for the best solution.

As you can imagine, when the problem is expanded to the entire Soviet Union's production plan, the complexity of the problem immediately rises by several orders of magnitude. Here you need to collect production efficiency information for hundreds of thousands of production units, then construct more than 6 raw material vectors and hundreds of thousands of final product vectors, and then construct intermediate production matrices for different departments. The results are organized into a production plan containing more than titles and distributed to subordinate units.

For example, if you don't have a graphics card to play games, you can find a million test-takers, ask each of them to calculate a pixel, and then synthesize a 4090K smooth game picture that can only be calculated by a 4.

But in the Soviet Union, a country that could produce the anti-human "Dimitovich Exercise Book", relying on its abnormal mathematical and chemical strength, it actually made this production plan work. Of course, the price was an average of 150 million production index documents and endless discussions in the later period, which turned the Soviet State Planning Commission into the administrative department of the human empire.

At the same time, he also had a shortcoming. Kantorovich's linear planning was based on the "Soviet central planning economy" that completely excluded individual owners, commodity exchange and profit orientation, and relied entirely on command-type enterprises. But this was nothing in front of the empire.

Now the only thing missing is a supercomputer with enough computing power to control thirteen major galaxies, twenty-four desolate galaxies, and trillions of imperial citizens who will not rebel. No one exists, but it doesn't matter, Salmin is it. The computing power of the ship Emperor Fantasy is nothing, she can act as this supercomputer while sitting on the toilet.

Of course, this toilet is not right - she can get off as long as she finishes writing the five-year plan. The rest of the daily control will be replaced by three extinction machines connected to a mountain of computers. All she has to do is sit on the toilet once every few years.

There is an Extinction Machine in each of the twelve major galaxies as a secondary hub. The network composed of fifteen Extinction Machines is also compatible with superluminal communications. Although the distance is limited and the delay is extremely high, this is indeed the only superluminal communication system in the empire, and the improvement it brings to Scarus is visible to the naked eye.

The Empire has no diplomacy, no foreign trade (if the Mechanicum is also considered part of the Empire), so Skarrus only needs to do one thing - produce under the control of the Salmin. Production is carried out under the centralized and unified resource control of the Salmin government. The rationing system does not require commodity exchange and profit orientation. The sum of economic activities formed by any optimal plan is zero profit.

Skarus is an extension of her hands and feet. Every citizen of the empire and every machine is a gear in the giant construct called Skarus. Information, endless information is the pulse of this machine god, and endless resources are swallowed by this machine god from the vast territory of thirty-seven star systems...

Each throughput of raw materials and industrial products is enough to destroy the market of a galaxy, but there is no market under the absolute planned economy. Everyone must make way to stop the 13th Black Crusade and save the empire from the abyss. Even the nobles or Salmin himself must accept the rationing honestly.

With the steady advancement of industrialization, a large number of labor forces bound by primitive means of production were liberated, and billions of large troops began training and exercises. The so-called large troops were truly modern combined forces, unlike most of the Star Army that separated infantry, artillery and armored troops.

Every soldier in the new large army is a top intellectual who has studied for an elementary school degree in the first month of night school! Don't laugh, do you know what this means in an empire where the average education level is only a dropout? Every soldier is a firm believer in the Messiah of Ohm. These two items are the basis of synthesis and mechanization.

A modern army that she had always dreamed of, one that was truly cultured and had faith, and an industrial system that could support a modern military system worth billions to fight a star-level fleet for at least three years.

Two months was still too short. All she could do was lay a solid foundation before the arrival of the main fleet. The completion rate of the main transportation network exceeded 20%, and the total railway mileage increased by 8789% compared with the previous period; the industrialization process was promoted by 14%, and the total industrial output value increased by 1343% compared with the previous period; the agricultural center was changed but no results were seen, and the rationing system achieved food and clothing for all the people; the literacy rate increased from 0% to 0.02%; in addition, the crime rate decreased by 98%; and the trade volume decreased by 76%.

But she believed that with the advancement of industrialization, Scarus would eventually achieve a total industrial output value comparable to that of an entire star region with the size of a mere star region. Although it was not today, this dazzling achievement also spoke of her contribution. Even after the arrival of the main fleet, she did not need to collect materials to pay for military expenses as originally expected.

When she got down from the toilet (the core of the very large integrated computing network), Salmin actually felt unusually weak. Although she was now in the most powerful form of a ship girl, when she was connected with Scarus, she was simply a god - the psychedelic void of the immaterial world slowly unfolded below her, and the Mecha God looked down at the dazzling galaxy. Everything fascinated her.

She was in a trance for a moment, as if she was still the machine god itself, the Skarus star region was her body, the flowing route was her scorching blood, and her thoughts seemed to be enough to stir up waves in the galaxy. Below was a vague cheering sound, they called out two names, one after another, it was a wave of praise.

Finally, there was a star. She could vaguely see a newly born star falling in a corner of the Milky Way. "Is that the Extreme Star Region?" Salmin thought of something - that was the Son of the Star. This far-reaching information came so suddenly that she didn't even notice a string of unimportant data.

[The proportion of state religion beliefs decreased by 45%, and the proportion of Ohm Messiah beliefs increased by 13487445%]

But the birth of the Child of the Stars or the Plague War in which she will participate is still too far away. Salmin is not even sure whether this disaster will happen. What she has to do now is to integrate the troops and then march towards Cadia!

Salmin took off his ship suit after a long absence. He couldn't help but tighten his coat because he was weak when he returned to his original form. "Now that the main fleet has arrived, call the Grand Marshal and the Marshal of the Crusade to come to a meeting. Replenish the fleet supplies and personnel at the airport as soon as possible. At the same time, contact the Eldar to prepare the webway. All work must be completed within a week."

Chapter 19 Meeting

A week would pass, and the Feast of the Ascension of Sanguinius would be here in a week. What they had to do was to complete the strategic deployment, gather supplies and troops, and repair the damaged ships during the warp voyage before the Feast of the Ascension of Sanguinius.

Of course, it was not realistic to repair the damaged ships in a week. Salmin meant to restore most ships to a combat-ready level by replacing parts or repairing them, while ships that were too seriously damaged would be directly replaced.

有着工业化中的斯卡如斯星区作为倚靠，他和两支分舰队总计每周三艘阿伽门农级战列舰（185*3）加两艘眼镜蛇寡妇制造者级护卫舰（7*2）的产量可是没停过，从10.24到12.18足足七次建造。

Even when the construction starts tomorrow, the Chaos Fleet alone will have 4 Beta-type Queen of Glory-class battleships, 10 Shana-class mechanical arks, 10 Styx-class battlecruisers, 200 Hellbringer-class light cruisers, and 85 Destroyer-class destroyers. 21000+ Alphas are one-tenth of the legion, and this is truly the choice of the two gods.

Abaddon: Where are you? Why don't you become the Warmaster of Chaos, chosen by the Four Gods?

Of course, having said that, he had transferred as many as 5754 Alphas who were not contaminated by Chaos to serve as clerical staff. These well-educated traditional Warhammer Supermen served as secretaries or supervisors of various hive cities and important industrial parks. Any budding danger was nothing in front of several Astartes and several teams of Legal Department agents.

While maintaining stability in Asia, they are also an elite mobile strike force. They are mentally castrated and are born workaholics with low desires and low consumption. Whenever this happens, Salmin feels that the Emperor is out of his mind. Why didn't he use the Astartes as a ruling force? He didn't even give them the right to participate in politics at the end of the Great Crusade.

What a good tool man, but he can only end up retired after patching. I can only say that 30k Huang Laohan is not like a king. It's good to be his wife, child or friend, but don't be his subordinate. This guy is 30k British version of Zhu Yuanzhang pro, an ultimate boss with all the shortcomings of the British and Zhu Yuanzhang!

You think that you are from the old Terran Golden Banner who fought with the Emperor to conquer the world, and the Emperor should trust you more and be closer to you. But to the Emperor, all people are human beings, equal human beings. From an objective point of view, he is absolutely great, but from the perspective of one of his subordinates, it is not right.

For individuals, the emperor loves everyone and loves no one. Even if he had a little emotional intelligence and political sense, his nine sons would not have raised the banner of rebellion against him with half of the army.

At the end of the Great Crusade, the Emperor himself thought that he was done, and retired after defeating the orcs, and went home to do research. But have you ever considered this: for a militaristic, god-like, feudal empire to change from a military regent led by princes to a parliamentary system, from extreme right to left, it is not a one-size-fits-all thing.

The stupidest thing is that you cut it cleanly with one stroke. Except for the 500 worlds, the Astartes are not allowed to interfere in politics. Why, the 500 worlds are to contrast how poor the mortal regents are, right? The Astartes during the Great Crusade were not monks. If joining the army can only bring honor and discrimination, it is no wonder that so many people are willing to follow Horus, who holds high the banner of Grand Astartesism, to rebel.

but--

Perhaps these Chaos Astartes had various reasons before, but after sinking in the evil power of Chaos for ten thousand years, they have become a group of utter beasts. The peaceful days in Scarus do not mean peace in the Dreadshield sector. With the summons of Chaos Warmaster Abaddon and the news that the Ascended Primarchs are about to arrive in the physical universe, countless Chaos warbands and pirates are endlessly poisoning a corner of the troubled Empire.

Even Scarus relied on the escort of a large fleet and patrols by battleships to curb the harassment tactics of Chaos, but there were only a few star regions with such a fleet after all. The poor star regions could not say "I will definitely defeat them if I am strong" when facing the Chaos warbands and pirates who were like piranhas.

The Xinchar sector, Nemisister Sera, and Belia IV were completely engulfed in flames of war. Only the fleet strike force of the Astartes Governor's Regiment could still sail within the empire's territory. The local imperial navy could barely defend the planet. The dense astropathic communications filled the Cadia Military Affairs Department like waste code.

If this is a group of stars, the three star regions that have lost space have all fallen.

But this is Warhammer, and as long as there is a planet or a hive resisting, both the Imperial Guard and the Astartes will demonstrate the resilience and strength of the Empire!

However, now that the main force has finally arrived, Salmin finally has enough power to deploy a counterattack. Facing the high-ranking commanders sitting below, it would be better to introduce the current situation before discussing it. This valuable information was brought to him by the Alphas who had returned to their duties after he was dispersed.

"First of all, the enemies we have to face have been confirmed to be the Black Legion Fleet of the Great Plunderer Abaddon, the Pirate Fleet of the Red Corsair Huron, the World Eater Fleet of the Oathbreaker Kothorax, and the Plague Fleet of Typhus. However, there is news that Typhus and his Plague Fleet were annihilated by the Imperial Fleet in the Agrippina Sector."

But Salmin was reserved about this news. Typhus and his plague fleet were gone just like that, was that a joke?

"The bad news is not over yet. A large number of independent warbands and pirates of various races are emerging from all corners. The logistics routes of the Dread Shield have been essentially destroyed. Only the Skarus, Agrippina, Cadian, and Beliscorona sectors still retain the supply capabilities."

Before the support of the main fleet arrived, all Salmin could do was to send a small fleet led by the ship girl to guard Medusa, the hometown of Iron Hand, or Scelus, which was close to it. Fortunately, the capitals of the two star regions next to him had stable subspace routes with Scelus.

Even though stable logistics expanded his influence a little, it was still a drop in the bucket. The empire was too large, which was the main reason why the largest empire always fell into a double disadvantage of quality and quantity and was beaten into a small country. Fortunately, the Alphas who had dispersed and returned to their original duties brought him some intelligence advantages, otherwise the guards would have beaten him to death without vision.

"We are now facing this disadvantageous situation. Although only the Xinchar sector has fallen among the main star sectors, we must gather our troops and recapture the lost territory as soon as possible. Otherwise, the three-pronged attack of Chaos Blood Sacrifice, summoning of demon armies, and summoning of warp storms will be enough to make us dizzy."

"Finally, it is said that there is a high probability that multiple ascended primarchs will participate in the battle..."

"The Ascended Primarch..." As soon as Salmin said this, the Grand Marshal and others who had remained relatively calm before were moved. The Ascended Primarch was by no means just an individual combat force. His appearance usually represented tens of thousands of Chaos Astartes and a fleet that covered the sky.

A reader sent me a private message asking me to talk about the current setting of the Emperor. So I will briefly talk about the new setting between the release of Death and the End and the duel between the Emperor and Horus.

First up is the Emperor and the Dark Lord - the only one who can ascend to godhood in the Spirit of Vengeance is the Emperor. As long as the Emperor absorbs enough Warp energy, he can naturally ascend to godhood. However, this process is irreversible, unlike some people's rumors that "the Emperor himself is a god" and "the Emperor became a god and then changed back". In the original text, the Emperor absorbed Warp energy and almost became a god, and then was awakened by Old O'Neal and found that he was not in the right state. Next is Loken, our last Luna Wolf told the Emperor to fight like a human, so the Emperor refused to ascend to godhood.

The Grand Marshal looked at the somewhat tired young man on the first seat, his medium-length black hair draped over his shoulders without being groomed, and his still bright golden eyes could not hide his decadence. He really couldn't ask Salmin, who had been 007 for two months, how many ascended Primarchs he could withstand at most.
