Sea of ​​Despair? But I have the Legiones Astartes

Machado's success gave Li Jia more ideas.

Because decades have passed, the military camp that Li Jia most wanted to see has never appeared in his mind.

Like Corn on the Cob and the Grey Knights.

Of course, any Space Marine with strong psychic powers can participate in the Grey Knight selection as long as they are determined (the will to resist Chaos), absolutely loyal (will not be corrupted by Chaos).

To put it simply, anyone with psychic powers has the opportunity to become a Grey Knight.

Even if the chance is one in ten million.

As long as you pass 666 tests, you can join the Eighth Brotherhood of the Grey Knights and become a Grey Knight recruit.

Li Jia once again looked at Makado who had been successfully transformed.

At this time, Malcador has been reborn.

Not only does he possess imposing spiritual powers, he also finally possesses a powerful physical body.

Li Jia thought about it.

The first eight members of the Warhammer Empire's Grey Knights Grand Masters seemed to have been selected by Malcador himself.

If Li Jia wants to rally the Grey Knights again, it won't be difficult with Malcador here.

The other barracks that Li Jia most wanted to see was none other than the Golden Corn Cob, which was the Emperor's Guards, the Emperor's exclusive bodyguards, and the nightmare of all enemies in the material universe.

It would be extremely difficult for Li Jia to build this team with the resources he has now.

Not to mention the countless complicated procedures for training the Imperial Guards, even if they can be raised, their combat effectiveness may be far behind.

Even if it was just a little bit short, Li Jia still wanted it very much.

The success of Makado's genetic modification finally gave Li Jia a new way to find a way out.

If you can't get purebred Imperial Guards, you can get mixed-blood Imperial Guards.

Of course, you should try it immediately when you think of it.

Li Jia immediately found the chief pharmacist of the Nova Warriors again.

Li Jia shared his ideas with the powerful pharmacist who was in charge of Makado's genetic modification.

Maloney, Chief Apothecary of the Nova Marines Chapter, was somewhat surprised to hear the Emperor's idea.

But soon I was excited and ready to take on this job.

Li Jia found Luther, the chief pharmacist of the Star Knights.

and Kasaska, the Chief Apothecary of the War Beasts Chapter.

The three of them will create the first batch of Imperial Guards that belong exclusively to Li Jia.

The three of them began to prepare.

After all, the resources needed to create the Imperial Guard are still huge, so this really needs to be well prepared.

This process may be even longer than transforming Malcador.

Looking back at the earliest batch of the Emperor's Guards, the resources spent on each guard required an entire planet to support them.

And the time it takes to create them is unimaginable.

It can be as short as a few decades or as long as a hundred years.

However, Li Jia was still excited to be able to create his own imperial guards.

To create Li Jia’s own imperial army, the first step is to find some suitable humans.

This time, age is no longer a threshold for selection. As long as the genetic match is appropriate, all humans have the opportunity to become the Emperor's exclusive Royal Guard.

The three pharmacists, Maloney, Luther and Casaska, once again extracted Li Jia's genes as a blueprint.

Start cultivating the genetic seeds that belong exclusively to Emperor Li Jia.

With the successful example of Makado, the process has been much faster.

The Emperor's genetic blueprint was successfully created in less than a month.

The three pharmacists then began to cultivate organs containing the Emperor's genes.

This step did not make Li Jia wait too long.

The next step is to select suitable humans for transplantation and transformation.

First of all, you have to be absolutely loyal to Li Jia, which is easy to satisfy.

After so many years of development, and with the guidance of the chapter priests, the humans who migrated to Holy Terra have now devoted their whole body and mind to Li Jia.

After several months of screening, 100,000 people were selected from the 1.3 billion humans of Holy Terra.

They will be the first humans to receive the blessing of Emperor Li Jia.

It is another long transformation process.

Sixteen years have passed.

The first batch of "Imperial Guards" belonging to Li Jia has been completed.

One hundred thousand people joined the Imperial Guards reform program, but only thirty succeeded.

The rest either died during the fusion of Li Jia's genetic blueprint or never even got off the operating table. There was also a large number of people whose organ transformation was successful, but their mental state became extremely abnormal.

The experimental subjects who died during the transformation naturally could not be wasted. The three pharmacists extracted their genes as reserves. The genes of those with abnormal mental states were also extracted. Then their memories were erased and they were transformed again.

They were assigned to thirty "Imperial Guards" to become servants responsible for their daily life, and some were directly integrated into the vehicles to become humanoid machine spirits.

Chief Technical Sergeant Mozaffiri of the Astral Knights Chapter, Forge Master Falvo of the War Beasts Chapter, and Chief Technical Sergeant Constantin of the Minotaur Chapter.

Under Li Jia's authorization, the three technical sergeants of the regiment created unique power armor for these thirty "Imperial Guards".

The appearance of the power armor is somewhat similar to the armor of the Chinese Royal Guards.

The material is naturally the metal with the highest density brought back from other planets.

A gilded gold.

Although its hardness is slightly lower than that of refined gold, it is also considered the best one discovered so far.

The chapter priests also carved various blessing runes on it.

Take the defense of this power armor to the next level.

Li Jia changed the name of these "forbidden troops" from the Forbidden Army to the Imperial Guard.

He felt that this was domineering and in line with his own temperament.

Li Jia looked up at the thirty imperial guards standing in the palace hall.

Uniform power armor and a loyal aura that keeps strangers away.

Li Jia was still very satisfied.

He specially summoned the Captain of the Astral Knights, the Captain of the War Beasts, and the Captain of the Minotaur, three powerful captains, to test the strength of these thirty Royal Guards.

After this test, Li Jia was a little disappointed.

A fake is a fake after all.

The strength is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary Space Marines.

But compared with the three powerful chapter leaders, it is far inferior.

But what is there for Li Jia to be dissatisfied with? This is an Astartes created using his own genetic blueprint.

Moreover, it seemed that Li Jia and these thirty royal guards had some kind of connection.

Li Jia tried to direct their actions in her mind.

What surprised him again was that it actually worked, and the thirty people actually acted according to his wishes.

These thirty royal guards were like his clones.

Fantastic.

It took 16 years for 100,000 people to successfully select 30 people.

This success rate is still very high.

Li Jia immediately gave an order that the humans of Holy Terra would first be recruited by the Star Knights and War Behemoths.

As long as the rest of the human race is absolutely loyal to the Emperor and is willing to dedicate their entire lives, even their lives, to Holy Terra, they can participate in the selection of the Royal Guard and undergo transformation.

In addition, Li Jia also agreed to Malcador's reorganization of the Grey Knights.

The newly formed Grey Knights will serve as a Space Marine Chapter to deal with the Source of Terror in the future.

Malcador immediately began preparations after receiving the order.

The war machine of Holy Terra is in motion again.
