Man in Warhammer, starting Primarch

"What? The four gods resurrected Horus?" In the original body's office, Duker held the sword of the mind, with visible surprise on his face.

His sword contained the power of the Emperor. When Horus returned to the real universe, the Emperor informed him of this information.

Soon, Duker's expression gradually calmed down.

The dark gods resurrecting Horus seemed to him to be unexpected and reasonable.

Fabius cloned the original body, paving the way for the original body's return.

A strong body, coupled with some subspace essence, the birth of the original body is a double miracle of science and metaphysics.

With the return of the Imperial Primarchs one after another, the victorious Warmaster Abaddon was obviously unable to guard the last face of Chaos.

More importantly, Duker's virtual realm plan stimulated those dark entities to a certain extent and made the Chaos Gods feel a real threat.

They urgently need to support a powerful enough puppet to contain Chaos' increasingly difficult situation.

In such a situation, Horus is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Apart from him, even the gods would find it difficult to find anyone else.

Even though Duker was an extremely proud Primarch, he had to admit that the Lord of the Luna Wolves was a rare all-rounder.

And he was even less surprised that Horus was successfully deceived.

This must be Tzeentch's trick.

The most incomprehensible part of the Lord of Destiny's tricks is that everything he says is the truth.

And when these truths are pieced together, they turn into vicious lies.

Just like ten thousand years ago, Tzeentch gave Horus the truth about the Emperor's ascension, the Dark Lord, and the future dark age of the human empire.

Every piece of information He presented was true, and every bit of it was cleverly concealed.

These hidden vacancies are all left to Horus' own imagination.

The same is true today. Tzeentch informed Horus of the future of the destruction of the universe, but concealed the fact that the empire had already ascended collectively at that time.

Give Horus a chance to think things over, and he'll always be able to figure things out.

"But this is what makes it interesting, isn't it?" Duker looked at the stars and smiled, the fighting spirit in his eyes burning like a raging fire.

In this fighting spirit, Duker almost wanted to meet his brother among the stars immediately and fight with each other until the final winner was determined.

But he also knew very well that this was impossible.

Horus may have had many faults, but stupidity was certainly not among them.

He knew very well that he would never be able to defeat Duker now.

"Now you must be looking for reliable allies and unite all the forces that can be united."

Duker guessed the opponent's actions in his heart, and he continued with fighting spirit,

"Then come on, unite all your forces closely, bring all your dark allies in front of me, and spare no effort to stop me!"

"Unite the darkness that is too loose to be found, and then I will catch you all, so that the rise of the empire will once again erect a great monument." He said,

"Don't let me down, my brother."

Duker is never afraid of his enemies, let alone thinking that he will be the losing party.

The Lord of Destruction is as proud as ever, and what he is looking for in his eyes filled with strong fighting spirit is the fruits of victory.

Afterwards, Duker suppressed his full mood and walked out of the office.

Although he was looking forward to Horus' actions, at the moment, he had more important things to do.

The second great expedition is being prepared. The empire's huge machinery is operating with unprecedented efficiency, and mankind's greatest fleet is being assembled.

A new journey is about to begin, but before that, he must solve a small problem within the empire.

After several days of meetings with top politicians such as Lev and Guilliman, the empire's new operating system has been officially finalized.

The biggest difference between this system and the past is that it is based on the virtual realm technology system.

Technology is the primary productive force, and only the improvement of productivity can bring about huge changes.

In the past, many major internal flaws in empires were not caused by unwillingness to make up for it, but by a lack of willpower.

When a new imperial bill is released based on the imperial virtual realm technology.

Duker convened the highest level meeting of the empire in the name of the Supreme Council.

It is related to the transformation of the empire. The members of this meeting are distinguished and large. Not only all the original bodies are invited, but also the top leaders of the imperial command structure, the governors of the core world, and the high lords.

Of course, there are also those cores of power that have fixed seats in the Supreme Council - the Tribunal, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Military Affairs, among which are the three pillars of the empire.

Even the Assassin's Court, which walks in darkness, was appointed by the Lion King to send representatives.

Chief Forger Gris appeared in the meeting with a group of great sages.

The Grand Pontiff of the State Church and the living saints Efilal and Celestine of the Sisters also sat at the front of the parliament.

Almost all the Adeptus Astartes and the commanders of the founding Chapters were present, and some interstellar Chapters stationed in remote worlds sent their representatives to participate in this meeting.

It can be said that in this circular conference room that contains hundreds of thousands of people, even the person sitting in the most inconspicuous position in the corner has a pivotal position in the millions of worlds of the empire.

Even if the dark gods want to completely paralyze the operation of the empire, they only need to bloodbath everyone in this meeting.

Of course, that's assuming it can be done.

Because the empire's most powerful security force is also gathered here.

Wait until all the members of the parliament have arrived,

Several figures, like mythical giants, walked to the center of this circular conference room.

Their appearance made everyone hold their breath involuntarily. Gods on earth, who were rarely seen in ordinary times, were gathered here at this moment, and the halo of glory swept through the hearts of every mortal.

Focus, glory, holiness, and indispensable courage.

Just under the halo of the Son of God, some noble people with firm faith could not stop crying tears of excitement from their eyes.

Duker stood at the head. He was the initiator and host of this meeting, and it was he who announced the beginning of a new change in the empire.

An era full of hope begins,

"Comrades, soldiers, and ascetics."

Every time he pronounces a word, Duker will look at the corresponding force at the right time. His eyes grasp the precise scale, making people feel flattered without offending their boundaries.

Under the radiation of the power of the soul, even without the use of a loudspeaker, Dukel's voice can ensure that it rings clearly and powerfully in the ears of every mortal.

To everyone in attendance, it was as if the Primarch was talking to him face to face.

And when his eyes saw familiar faces, Duker's eyes also showed a hint of satisfaction.

Thanks to his previous purge of Terra, the current high-ranking officials in the empire can be said to be full of loyalty and uprightness.

This will undoubtedly greatly weaken the difficulty for the Primarch to implement changes.

At this moment, Dukel attracts more attention than ever. Every word he speaks is enough to be remembered by every mortal, and his words will not attract any criticism.

He stands proudly in the world, his majestic figure is imprinted in people's hearts, and he uses his inexhaustible courage to promise everyone a better future.

Everyone's hearts were touched by his words. With the courage to pioneer, the great vision of breaking the old rules and ushering in a new era seemed to be just around the corner.

In the face of this supreme courage, ordinary people truly feel that an era full of hope is calling them and is within reach.

Just let down your guard, let go of the shackles of ancient times, and support the Primarch's transformation.

All good things will come as expected.

Some of the most powerful people in the empire were also very moved, but the will accumulated over the years allowed them to retain their last rationality.

It was also in this rationality that they looked at this original body with supreme appeal in awe.

Don't even think about the bravery and strategy of this human god at this moment.

The appeal of this speech alone made these people in power truly feel the gap between mortals and demigods.

A great ideal, driven by a great commander, can bring about effects that are enough to make the most timid mortals risk their lives for this ideal.

This scene happened right in front of them, how could they not be in awe.

"I summon you all to come here to discuss how to restore the glory of the empire and assume our clan's manifest destiny to rule the galaxy!"

"Humanity is far greater than any divine creation. It is our race's unshirkable destiny to include every star and every world in the galaxy within the empire's territory."

"All these glorious crowns need to be crowned by you and me together." Duker continued,

"The first phase of the Empire's revival has been completed. Many worlds such as the Ophelia Star Domain, the Baal Star Domain, the Byro Star Domain, and the Ghoul Star Domain have been basically recovered and are once again closely linked to the glory of the Empire. But at the moment, the Empire We still face many enemies and the danger has not yet been resolved. If I said at this time that the war is over and we can enjoy the hard-won peace, I would be deceiving myself.”

"Those eyes full of malice are still staring at us. This is an extremely sad time. In order to preserve the survival of the empire, we still need to send a large number of soldiers every day to maintain the territory of the empire."

"Glory is built on the cornerstone of sacrifice. The price of survival is still so heavy. At such a difficult time of survival, we cannot continue the mistakes of the past."

During Dukel's speech, everyone's blood boiled and their hearts surged.

Some young generals and dignitaries even unconsciously grasped their weapons. Their palms trembled slightly due to excessive force, and veins popped out.

At this moment, they are extremely looking forward to a heretic appearing in front of them immediately so that their sword blades can drink blood.

Even the Primarchs were immersed in this beautiful vision.

Guilliman's heart was also surging. He imagined a golden future, indulging in great ideals and pictures of a beautiful future.

But just when he was fully immersed in this beautiful wish, he suddenly heard Duker's tone suddenly change.

All the people who were swimming in the beautiful vision once again fell into the sad reality.

Then Guilliman heard again——

"Gentlemen, we will promote new changes in the Empire so that we can better fulfill our shared ideals - I would like to ask the Imperial Regent, Lord of the Ultramarines, Robert Guilliman, to promulgate a new Imperial Code for us."

Guilliman suddenly came back to his senses, and then he saw hundreds of thousands of eyes in the seats of the meeting, staring at him with burning eyes.

Guilliman: "."

Enacting substantive bills is different from inspiring speeches, which are not only boring but also require offending people.

If in the war, Duker represents the positive and bright side, Leon represents the hidden dark side.

Politically speaking, then, the Regent is the dark side of the Warmaster.

Of course, it was the regent's duty to enact new legislation, and he had no reason to decline.

And as early as in the process of purging Terra's powerful people, he had already made up his mind to bear all the infamy for the common ideal.

But Duker's speech was well prepared, and his courageous qualities were like a divine aid in his speech, and he could easily inspire people.

This made Guilliman look very embarrassed.

As the original body, it took him a few seconds to adjust back to his own state in such a scene, and he slowly said,

"In the near future, we will promote the new imperial code and abolish the previous state of autonomy of each world. The Star Language Court will assist in the implementation of virtual communication. More efficient communication methods will allow the empire to easily control every world."

"The state religion will establish the Void Realm Order and build a network of Void Realm beacons. The new Supreme Council has also been established. We need more officials to solve the plight of millions of worlds in the empire."

"On behalf of the Ministry of Military Affairs, I announce that the Legion Astartes will face a new reorganization so that it can operate more efficiently during the war. The power of the interstellar chapter will be decentralized and centralized and mobilized by the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Don't worry about the lag problem. Virtual Realm communication will appear on your boss's processor without any delay after your request is sent."

Guilliman read out the new Imperial Code one by one.

Many high-level officials participating in the parliament could not help but destroy the calm of the meeting and whispered to each other.

In fact, putting Guilliman in charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs was an extremely correct decision. During the Indomitus Crusade, he was recognized by almost all military organizations.

But even so, some people still look unnatural, and the implementation of such a policy will inevitably greatly weaken their rights.

The reason why they were able to hold back was not to burst out their dissatisfaction at this moment.

It was entirely due to the majesty of the Primarchs.

Some Astartes commanders, especially those of the founding legion, also looked displeased.

Because tens of thousands of years ago, when Guilliman promulgated the "Code Astartes", he had already split the Space Marine Legion once. It was that split that resulted in the subsequent legions having about a thousand members. scale.

This also indirectly caused the noble Astartes monks to be unable to unite together and suffered persecution from the mortal nobles for thousands of years.

"Our family has served the empire for thousands of years. We are recuperating in our own world. This is the honor given to us by the empire. The medals passed down from generation to generation are also publicly awarded by the Senate."

A knight king of the knight dynasty could not help but stand up and express his opinion at this moment,

"Does your implementation of a new administrative system mean that the world controlled by the dynasty no longer belongs to us?"

"I cannot accept it, Your Majesty the Regent. Those lands are the sacred and inviolable property of our family that has been passed down from generation to generation."

Unless war comes, the knight family rarely leaves the world where they live.

Even though everyone present knew that the King of Knights was new to the world, his public refutation of the original body still made many powerful people sweat.

Many Terran nobles were always looking at Dukel's expression.

After all, no one wants to see bloodshed happen on an occasion like today.

But to their surprise, none of the Primarchs showed any displeasure.

Power can bend the will, but it cannot win the hearts of the people.

The Primarchs openly promoted the new bill, and naturally took into account the rebuttal.

Before Guilliman spoke, Dukel took the lead in answering the Knight King's question,

"Your title and power were granted by the Senate? So now, I take back their appointment." He continued, "I think I have such power."

King of Knights: "."

The knight's character is mostly rigid and stubborn. He naturally thinks along Duke's line of thinking, and the result is a closed logical loop!

He originally wanted to use the Senate's letter of appointment to refute the Regent's bill, which was reasonable.

It is also reasonable for Duker to withdraw his appointment to their family with higher power!

In other words, this time he left the planet and went to Terra to attend the parliament. Not only did he not retain his power, but he also lost his family's title? !

It was hard for the King of Knights to imagine how he would face his own people after returning to his home planet.

"But, Lord Warmaster," the King of Knights reluctantly held it in for a long time until his cheeks turned red from holding it in. Then he stepped out of Dukel's logical loop and said this sentence,

"But my lord, my father delivered the dynasty into my hands, and when he was crowned, he swore to lead my people to a bright future. I have no intention of resisting your will, but I beg you to answer me. We, the knight family, , where should we go in the new era of empire?”

After thinking rapidly, the King of Knights finally came up with what he thought was a good idea.

Many representatives of the knight family nodded thoughtfully after hearing his words.

This was exactly what he wanted, as he tied together the interests of all the Knight dynasties and put pressure on the Primarch.

A knight is weak, but when weak knights unite together.

As long as they unite as one force, can the Warmaster kill them all?

He knew that doing so would displease his Primarch, not that he was reckless or stupid, but that he had to act in his position.

Displease the Warmaster and he may be executed on the spot.

But after losing his power and his lordship, what he will face when he returns to his home planet will be thousands of times more miserable than death.

Sitting on a seat not far from the King of Knights, Living Saint Efilar unconsciously moved her fingers when she heard these words. It was precisely because of this move that the girl suddenly realized that she was attending the meeting on behalf of the Sisters today and did not bring a bolt gun.

"Stupid!" Faced with his question, Duker scolded him mercilessly.

"Knights, the new administrative system officials will give priority to selecting local talents. Are the knights who always value honor afraid of competition?"

"In the new administrative system, all the power of the empire will only be directed to those with talents. As long as your talents are good enough, you will no longer be restricted by your origin."

"Whether they are civilians, nobles, or knights, the empire will treat them all equally. In the competition, you can not only protect the power on the home planet, but also obtain high positions on Terra."

As he spoke, Duker's expression gradually became colder.

"Or are you just worms who are relying on the glory of your fathers and are worthless? If you admit this to me, then I will be sorry to tell you that for the sake of the empire and the ideals we share, I will never allow incompetence. They hold great power!"

Words as cold as a knife swept through the entire parliament like a cold wind.

Some people lowered their heads in deep contemplation, while some people's eyes burst out with endless ambition, higher status, and higher power.

While depriving them of their power, the Primarchs opened a path to the sky.

The mediocre are content with being mediocre, but that doesn’t mean everyone is content with the status quo.

The people present in the parliament today are not short of heroes who stand out among millions of people in the world.

Seeing those burning ambitions, Duker nodded with satisfaction.

This aggressiveness that dares to compete is exactly what the original bodies hope to see, and the vitality that the empire should have.

Even the King of Knights sat down thoughtfully.

For the knights, this rule seems to be more beneficial to them. Their world is mostly in the uncivilized medieval era, and there is almost no one to compete with them.

But one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.

A representative of the Interstellar Chapter asked Guilliman,

"Your Majesty the Regent, out of honor, I have to ask, do you still not trust our loyalty when you have reorganized the Astartes monks again?"
