Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

"Father, you might want to take a look at this."

The Lion King looked extremely unhappy as he handed a data pad to the Emperor.

Other primitives open links and wait for data transmission.

"Don't wait, come over and take a look, this thing can't be shared.

It was recorded by a special high-speed reconnaissance ship."

Lion was speechless. If Guilliman hadn't been in seclusion and not communicating with the essence of psychic energy, why would they have to go through so much trouble?

A non-artificial creature with an outer armor made of human teeth, a large eye on each of the membrane wings on its back, a T-shaped head with three split mouths, and a dead creature with pale skin and a thin mouse tail-like braid behind its head.

Those non-man-made creatures were extremely powerful, emitting blasphemous and twisted psychic pollution, and they could easily tear the dead creatures apart.

Judging from the background, it seems like the battle is taking place on a planet.

"This group of aliens is also related to the subspace? Brother Mao, how did your army stop them?"

After saying this casually, the wolf king felt a chill in his heart. Oh no, his nickname has been leaked...

“After the Heavenly Army was reorganized into six wings, it was separated into internal orders, and professional personnel could be sent out according to the type of enemy.

This intelligence was brought back by members of the Broken Claw Order."

In front of the emperor, Ryan showed his magnanimity and did not care about his younger brother's mischief.

"These aliens have colluded with the guys in the subspace. They must be dealt with quickly, otherwise they will cause great casualties to the people."

Corax whispered to Vulkan and decided to evacuate the mortal residents near the war zone.

"No, we can't move in densely populated areas. We'll just stay there."

The Emperor could naturally hear the conversation between the two Primarchs and put a stop to it.

Seeing that his brother wanted to say something, but the Emperor didn't want to say anything, Fulgrim quickly explained:

"The densely populated area is a bait, the battle area cannot be changed at will..."

"That's a trillion people! We can't just throw the people out there and use them as cannon fodder! Isn't the purpose of establishing the empire to preserve humanity?"

Corax's tone was a little agitated, and as a man who was not good at speaking, he had few ways to express his anger.

On the Rescue Planet, he was raised by countless workers at great risk of their own lives, and he really survived the early days by relying on food from various families.

So, even though he knew what was going on, he couldn't accept it.

His experience would not allow him to watch people die like this.

Wokan's experience was similar. He would rather bleed himself than sacrifice innocent people.

The Emperor glanced at the Primarchs and led them to the bottom floor of the Palace.

"Old Nineteen, I know your past.

I want to ask you: Why are the people important? "

Everyone has their own answer to this question, and the other Primarchs are also thinking about it.

“Because they are the foundation of the Empire and the future of mankind.

They gave everything for the Empire and did not deserve this."

"Oh."

The Emperor smiled.

“If we talk about sacrifice and suffering, the animals have a harder life. They don’t have any rights, and even when they die, their bodies are eaten.

According to your theory, enduring hardship and making contributions are important, so livestock are more important than the people?"

The whole place was silent. The Primarchs knew that the Emperor would not idle away and belittle his own people, let alone mock the Primarchs. It was obvious that they had something to say.

So the Primarchs listened quietly, waiting for the Emperor's explanation.

“What is important is productivity. It is important for the people to master productivity, provide value, and be able to participate in and promote the operation of society.

Livestock are nothing more than means of production, purely consumables, and therefore less valuable than the people.

Old Nineteen, you don't have to question anything. Yes, you and Wokan are relatively gentle in treating mortals.

What about others?

How many of them truly recognize mortals?

I won’t name a few of them.”

Perturabo looked calm. In fact, he knew that the Emperor was giving instructions to him and to Horus and his party.

These Primarchs are willing to give mortals a little face. It’s not that they really appreciate mortals, but that the Emperor appreciates mortals. They admire the Emperor and don’t want to cause trouble for him.

However, having said that, Horus did not want to pretend anymore. Except for the twelfth and thirteenth Primarchs, the rest of his brothers were present, and he also wanted to ask the Emperor.

“Father, you said that productivity is more important.

We have some understanding of your great cause, and we know that you do not produce female Astartes.

So why not reactivate the intelligent system and continue using... ordinary humans instead?"

The words were said politely, but were actually quite sharp.

Because it involves the promotion of the Imperial Truth - do you think the Emperor is a god? Which good person can kick a star like a ball?

With such power, the Emperor still denies that he is a god, isn't it?

It is true that the empire still needs a large number of mortals to do things, right?

The time for the Great Expedition is running out, and we need to seize the window of opportunity to expand. Is that ok?

It is also a fact that the Mechanicus, which possesses a vast amount of technology, has been suppressed and not allowed to expand on a large scale.

So this is all very twisted: you want productivity, but you don’t develop new technologies to improve productivity.

He says that he is not a god, but he also makes it clear that there are gods in the world.

What does the emperor want to do?

"You've had contact with the blue-skinned demon, haven't you?"

The Emperor's gaze swept over Horus and Magnus, especially over Magnus's lost eye.

The Emperor acquiesced to the deal with Tzeentch. It seems that Tzeentch has indeed planted the seeds of conflict.

Fortunately, the Primarchs still trusted the Emperor, so they disclosed the news in advance and communicated with him as much as possible to avoid further expansion of distrust.

The two primarchs remained silent, which was a disguised acknowledgement.

"That's definitely Tzeentch...

Well, the official reason for not using the intelligent system is indeed the Iron Man Rebellion, but that is just an excuse, not the reason. "

The Emperor did not say anything to belittle Tzeentch. Since the child had a clear inclination towards someone, it might have a counterproductive effect. He chose to tell the objective facts and let the Primarchs distinguish between truth and falsehood and right and wrong for themselves.

The Primarchs were cheered up, it seemed that the Emperor was going to tell them some secrets!

Yes, the reason why the Empire is now announcing the use of intelligent systems is: the Iron Man Rebellion, the war has caused huge spiritual and material damage to mankind, which cannot be controlled, so restrictions are imposed.

This sounds reasonable. After all, it is not uncommon for taxes to be deferred for ninety years, resulting in no taxes to be collected from future generations.

Before the Zhao Song Dynasty, the feudal lords were divided and the military generals crossed the bottom line, killing people everywhere, even killing the people in their own towns.

The later emphasis on culture over military power was a manifestation of PTSD caused by being beaten.

The same goes for Iron Man. He has put stress on humans, and they no longer dare to believe in it or play it.

If the aliens come to kill you, you might be able to resist them for a while and escape with your life, and wait for the Iron Man to come...

Give yourself a shot and have a good time.

"Everything started more than 22,000 years ago..."

The Emperor recalled the past and told the story of the arrival of the Star God, the confrontation with the three empires and the three main gods, the killing of the three gods after ten thousand years of confrontation, the destruction of the Pantheon, the defeat of the three empires, and the evacuation of the entire country.
