Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

…

One month later.

Macragge's Glory.

The Primarch, who entered the flagship on a transport plane from Terra, sat on the throne as everyone watched.

Mathieu, who had already reported to the Primarch to become the War Apostle, was also on the command deck.

The two Eldar advisors, the Death Army's Prophet Everene and the Uthvi Ark's Prophet Uslan Eldrad, are also there.

Kaul's body cannot be absent.

Except for Greyfax and Celestine, the people who resurrected Guilliman were all in the command deck.

Greyfax didn't know what he was doing.

Additionally, Guilliman heard that Celestine died on the battlefield.

However, the absence of these two people is not a problem, and the big trouble in the Five Hundred World does not require these two people.

"Father, the war has begun." Chapter Master Calgar reported to Guilliman.

Just as Guilliman thought, a big trouble was coming.

The plague that was prevalent in the Five Hundred Worlds was indeed a precursor to war, and the plague warriors plundered the borders of the Five Hundred Worlds not for supplies, but for reconnaissance.

The war seemed to start in an instant.

The Plague Fleet invades the Five Hundred Worlds.

The Death Guard inexplicably bypassed their strategic goals predicted by the Four Heroes and went directly to attack an agricultural world called Espandor.

The entire agricultural world is now overrun with the walking dead and disease, as plague armies and the mortal auxiliaries of Ultramar wage war on the planet.

No matter what the purpose of the Death Guard's attack on Espandor was, after they took over the Eastern Hemisphere, the plague situation in the entire Five Hundred Worlds suddenly became dozens of times worse.

Not just disease.

There are also plague walkers.

Plague zombies, plague zombies... They are found wherever there is plague, and they can inexplicably emerge from some dark corners.

This is still a relatively high level of management in the Five Hundred Worlds. If it were replaced by an ordinary empire world, it is estimated that after the governor discovers the plague zombies, 60% of the entire world will already be the territory of the plague zombies.

The raging diseases and plague zombies are not the most troublesome. What is even more troublesome is that rebels have appeared everywhere in the five hundred worlds.

Rebels, diseases, zombies... they appeared at the beginning of the war and launched a massive battle.

"This is the situation now," Calgary reported. "On Espandor, a bunch of zombies emerge from the forest or farm every seven hours."

"Seven." Guilliman looked at Prophet Uthlan.

The latter nodded: "The holy number of the God of Plague."

"I must return to the Five Hundred Worlds." Guilliman said the decision he had already thought about.

He has decided to return to the Five Hundred Worlds to handle this war personally.

As for Terra's affairs, leave them to Ryan.

Lion is not good at management and rule, but he is a ruthless character in the eyes of others. Having him in charge of Terra makes Guilliman feel very relieved.

"Activate the communication ship system, and then we will begin to discuss countermeasures." Guilliman ordered Calgar.

The so-called communication ship system is to use stupid methods to communicate at super-light speed.

Guilliman wanted to directly use the communication method of the dimensional communication station, but the Ultramarines, including Calgar and the Four Heroes, were extremely opposed.

They trust the Tyrone people, but they are unwilling to put the lifeblood of communication in the hands of others.

So Guilliman could only compromise and use communication ships.

Small fast ships equipped with dimension engines, they are called shuttles. These shuttles will send documents full of documents to where they need to be sent.

What's outrageous is that judging from the results of several previous tests conducted within Five Hundred Worlds, this method looks as stupid as a primitive but is extremely easy to use, surpassing Star Language in terms of stability and speed.

The only problem is that the astropaths in the five hundred worlds are wrangling over the communication ship.

They claimed that if the communication ship system was activated, all astropaths would commit suicide because they would be disqualified from dedicating their lives to the Primarch.

"What if the Astropaths..."

Calgar knew why the Gene Father did not activate the communication ship before. He wanted to remind the Gene Father to prevent the Gene Father from losing his most important "balance" ability in anxiety.

"Activate comm ship! Now!"

"I don't care whether the Astropaths want to commit suicide or make trouble. I want to activate the communication ship. If they want to die, let them die. If they make trouble, let the Four Heroes show them some color! So enable it!"

Guilliman looked down at Calgar, his eyes wide with anger, and he reiterated his decision in a snarl.

"Yes...yes." Calgar nodded repeatedly. He was not on the side of the Astropath.

Guilliman was obviously anxious and angry now.

This kind of emotion does not need to be felt by someone with a sensitive mind.

When Guilliman is angry, a resonance seems to be formed. The Ultramarines in the bridge are inexplicably filled with unknown anger, and they wish they could go back to the Five Hundred Worlds to brutally slaughter the rebels and invaders.

The prophets of the Death Army and the Ark of Uswe subconsciously controlled their breathing to avoid breathing too loudly.

Kaul, who had never spoken, was thinking in his heart.

Fortunately, the Emperor found a pair of good adoptive parents for Guilliman, otherwise the character of this primarch who was designed to carry out war would definitely not be what everyone is familiar with now...

The violent Angron was known as "Little Guilliman".

And it was difficult for Guilliman not to feel anxious and angry at this time.

The previous affairs of Terra accumulated from the 41st millennium to the 42nd millennium had already made him overwhelmed. He also had to deal with the forces of the Forbidden Army, the High Lords, and the National Church.

At the same time, we have to deal with the reintegration of the five hundred worlds and give the power once given to mortals back to the Ultramarines.

It is also necessary to balance the two huge intertwined forces of the Navigators and Astropaths, who are now restless after the emergence of the Dimension Engine, and they have become stronger and deeper because of the 10,000 years of the Empire.

There was even Ryan to deal with.

Now the five hundred worlds that Guilliman cares about most are under attack again, and the war has ignited almost instantly. Those people who still have a trace of sanity that he is proud of are now suffering from diseases and the walking dead.

These things pile up and weigh on the imperial regent. If it were a mortal to bear these, the normal one would collapse, and the abnormal one would directly become a tyrant executioner.

"I swear."

Guilliman, who was writing and drawing on the holographic projection star map of the Five Hundred Worlds, suddenly spoke.

He held two laser pointers at the same time, and every time he moved his hand, he drew battle lines or defensive lines on the star map, fleet insertion lines, patrol lines, and logistics supply lines.

The area around Espando was designated a war zone.

A beautiful planet named Yax was designated as a hospital world to treat soldiers infected by the plague. This was a necessary step in fighting the forces of Nurgle.

"I swear," Guilliman gritted his teeth, "When I see Mortarion, I will rush up and break his spine!"
