Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 167: Alliance with Kaul
"The empire is about to face its greatest calamity. The millennium of darkness is about to pass, and the age of indomitable will begin with the return of the Son of God. The galaxy will be torn apart, and the empire will usher in a new era." Chen Xi answered Kaul's question, but his eyes were full of scrutiny and amusement.

In fact, whether it is the opening of the Great Rift, the return of the Primarch, the subsequent launch of the Indomitus Crusade, or even the story of the Dead Realm, they are all closely related to Dora Kaur.

Cadia was destroyed because Cawl activated the Black Stone Array with the help of the Figure King and tried to close the Eye of Terror, which resulted in the entire planet being in a state of energy overload and was smashed to pieces by Abad's brother's Black Stone Fortress.

Guilliman was able to return because Dorakol took out the Armor of Destiny and healed the Thirteenth Prince's minor injuries.

The smooth progress of the Indomitus Crusade was also due to the support of Archsage Cawl for 800,000 Primaris Astartes.

As for the Necrons, although the expeditionary fleet fought fiercely, if Cawl had not restrained the Silent King, the expeditionary fleet would not have been enough to be destroyed by the Necrons.

When the two sides were fighting, all kinds of star-destroying weapons were taken out and the physical constants were modified. This was really not something that a regular fleet could withstand.

During the Dark Tech Age, human civilization had reached a level that the beings of the 40k era could not even imagine. Time was nothing more than a physical constant that could be modified in the hands of humans of that era.

Judging from these things, Dora Kaur's importance to the empire is self-evident.

It can even be said that it is precisely because of the existence of Dora Kaur that the Empire has been able to maintain the current situation even after the Thirteenth Black Crusade opened the Great Rift.

As a result, the empire was able to steadily move forward and launch an unyielding expedition to recover lost territory during the Unyielding Era. All of this was inseparable from Kaul's efforts.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi has always hoped to communicate and cooperate with Kaul.

This has extraordinary significance for both Chen Xi and the empire.

Faced with Chen Xi's prophecy, Cawl seemed to be slightly relieved. Then he asked with some anticipation, "Does the prophecy really say that the Primarch is about to return?"

"Yes, and there is more than one Primarch who has returned." Chen Xi smiled when he heard Kaul ask this, and then asked tentatively: "Sir Belisarius, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating?
In order to better cope with the new era of the Primarch's imminent return, both you and I need allies, don't we?"

Kaul looked at Chen Xi, seemingly considering the pros and cons of what Chen Xi said.

Chen Xi did not urge or say anything else, just waiting for Kohl to make a decision.

Although he jokingly called himself the High Lord of the Cursed, from the perspective of the Empire, he was just a planetary governor and might not be qualified to form an alliance with a great sage of the Mechanicum like Cawl.

But after a brief thought, Kaul said, "What kind of alliance do you hope to reach?"

Hearing what Kohl said, Chen Xi knew that his plan had succeeded.
-
"It's unbelievable! The teacher actually agreed to form an alliance with you!" Olivia showed an expression of 'I don't understand but I am shocked', and she couldn't understand how Chen Xi persuaded her teacher to form an alliance with him.

It was as if she couldn't understand why the teacher thought the operation that seemed simple to her was difficult.

"Although I wasn't entirely sure at first, it seems things are going better than I expected." Chen Xi was excited about the possibility of collaborating with Kaul. After all, he initially only wanted to reap some benefits, but he never expected to actually reach an alliance with Kaul. Although Chen Xi knew clearly that the alliance wasn't with Kaul's real body, even if it was just a clone, it was still in Kaul's name, which was enough for Chen Xi right now.

As for Kohl's true form, he didn't have such extravagant hopes.

In the discussion just now, Kohl agreed to Chen Xi's proposal of an alliance, and the two sides reached a cooperation intention.

Kaul provided Chen Xi with the original casting technology and the technical templates of supporting weapons and equipment, and provided the necessary technical support, while Chen Xi was responsible for actively expanding the military and preparing for war in the imperial world under his jurisdiction in order to cope with the upcoming great changes.

So it can be said to be an alliance, and from a certain perspective it can also be seen as an investment by Kohl in Chen Xi.

After all, in today's empire, there are only a few people who can clearly realize that the empire is about to undergo great changes, so it is always good to make more preparations.

Unlike the High Lord's insects who believed that the empire was as stable as a rock and nothing was a problem, in fact, there were a large number of knowledgeable people within the empire who realized that the empire was already in turmoil and was about to face a very dangerous moment.

There were many people preparing for this, but their size was not big enough after all, and the empire's territory was too vast, and there were too many problems to face. This made it seem that the empire was not aware of the coming crisis at all.

It would be a good thing for Cawl to meet a planetary governor who realized that the empire was about to face danger and invest in it.

After all, what Kohl gave him was nothing to him. It was just some weapons and equipment that were planned to be promoted on a large scale in the future and the original casting technology that Chen Xi had already mastered, plus some technical support and his own forge that he didn't use much.

Although these things are not a drop in the bucket for Kohl, they are really not worth mentioning.

For a great sage of the Mechanicum who had lived for ten thousand years, the knowledge he had forgotten and the various things he had buried in these ten thousand years far exceeded what he gave to Chen Xi this time.

The richest man in the galaxy, that reputation is truly well-deserved.

The only thing that was worthy of Kaul's attention was that Chen Xi took out a Titan's STC template and hoped that Kaul would help produce a few Titans.

Even though he was the richest man in the Empire and the oldest great sage of the Mechanicus, the Titan's STC template was a very rare thing for Cawl, something that was enough to make him come and grab it in person.

So after Chen Xi took out this thing, Kohl not only promised to send him at least six Dread Wolf-type reconnaissance Titans, but also promised to get him a forging ark.

Although an STC template is much more valuable than a casting ark, it is not something that Chen Xi really values.

After all, they can directly redeem points for various STCs.

This is because he hadn't found a reliable oil man before and had spent too many STCs, which would scare the Mechanicus. Otherwise, Chen Xi could have exchanged a bunch of STCs and gotten himself a lot of things.
