Chapter 470 Iron Man Template

After concluding the pre-war meeting held in the Terra Imperial Palace, Robert Guilliman returned to his office.

The Primarch's desk was piled high with government affairs. The blessed sacred parchment was filled with logistical gaps in the Indomitus Crusade, the assimilation process of the newly conquered world, the movements of Chaos forces, the increasingly rampant aliens, the dissent within the Adeptus Mechanicus against Terra, and the increasingly serious population loss... big troubles, small troubles, and medium-sized troubles. All kinds of troubles piled up like a mountain, overwhelming the multi-core brain of the Lord of Ultramarine.

If it weren't for the status of the Lord of War and the increasingly fierce war that supported Guilliman's spirit, he might have gone crazy long ago.

Guilliman flipped open the parchment scroll at hand, and saw the following content: "The Eye of Terror star field has once again erupted in a Chaos counterattack. The Great Plunderer Abaddon attempted to abduct the population of the Imperial world Krumus for some kind of blasphemous experiment. The Dark Angels stationed nearby repelled the Black Legion, but the environment of Krumus was severely damaged in this war, and the planetary population lost more than half."

Krumus is not a prosperous planet. The total world population is less than 4 billion, of which the hundreds of thousands of adult males abducted by Abaddon can be said to be insignificant. The reason why more than half of the population was lost was that the Dark Angels used the Extermination Order weapon - atmospheric incineration torpedoes in the process of attacking the Black Legion.

Nearly 2 billion innocent people died under the sacred flame that was supposed to burn heretics. The explanation given by the Dark Angels was that the Chaos wizards under Abaddon held a Chaos ritual on Krumus. The planet has been corrupted and cannot be saved. The Extermination Order is the final salvation.

In the lower right corner of the report is a note from the Intelligence Department of the Inquisition:

[We have reason to believe that the Dark Angels deliberately allowed Abaddon's Chaos Ritual to be held, causing the planet to be corrupted, so as to provide themselves with a reason to use the Extermination Order. The Dark Angels attempted to cover up some secrets that they did not want outsiders to know by destroying the planet. ]

"Cover up the secret..." Guilliman raised his head and took a deep breath, sighing slightly.

More than two hundred years ago, the Star Bullet publicly broadcast some "little secrets" about the Dark Angels and the Fallen Angels to the entire Ultramarine. These secrets were brought out of Faya by the Terra Expeditionary Fleet and spread wantonly throughout the galaxy.

However, due to their absolute worship of the Emperor of Mankind and their trust in the Astartes, many people did not take these words seriously, and only thought that it was the evil Federation pseudo-regime that was deliberately discrediting the Emperor's angels.

However, as time passed, the power of the Human Federation gradually rose, and the relationship between the Star Bullet and the Emperor became ambiguous. Some of the little secrets that were once regarded as rumors at the time also needed to be re-examined.

Therefore, the Inquisitor would reasonably guess that the Dark Angels issued a ruthless extermination order to cover up the existence of the Fallen Angels, which could have been saved, on the planet of Krims.

...

In the past, Guilliman would definitely hold such behavior accountable and investigate thoroughly, but now is different from the past. The situation of the Empire is getting worse and worse. With a powerful enemy at hand, every bit of power to resist the enemy is extremely precious, not to mention a founding chapter with a Primarch sitting in front of it, which is an indispensable backbone of the human empire.

You can't investigate everything, what if you really find something... What if you investigate the Dark Angels the wrong way?

Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity, and you can't say it.

Guilliman sighed and severely criticized the Dark Angels for their poor defense. At the same time, he temporarily put aside the mystery of the destruction of Krims. As for the 2 billion people crowded in the underground fortifications of the planet who were about to be bloodily cleansed... Guilliman was powerless.

This was the most moderate way he could deal with it.

And troublesome incidents of this magnitude have piled up like a mountain on Guilliman's desk.

"Internal disturbances, external threats, the star-bombing swarms, the coming swarms..." Guilliman's headache increased as he thought about it, and he simply lay on the table and wished he could give up right there:

"Sometimes I really hope that a so-called 'miracle' will come, or that a magical artifact will suddenly appear to solve all the problems of the empire with ease..."

"Success, next, as long as I activate this magical artifact, I, Favonis, will definitely solve the problems the empire is facing now!"

While Guilliman was in a state of daily anxiety, on the west side of the Solar Sector, in the Sabat Sector of the Pacific Sector, a high-ranking Inquisitor from Ultramar looked eager.

This person was Favonis Ebolon Civitas, an Inquisitor from Ultramar, who was once famous for his cold cleansing of his cousin Wagner Ebolon Civitas.

Favonis is now located underground on a planet called Azod Epsilon, traveling through the holy relics left over from the Dark Age of Technology.

Azod Epsilon was once an ancient military-industrial world. After the Iron Man Rebellion, it became a land of death. Heavy chaos lingered here. Even with the help of senior sages of the Mechanicus and the human federation expedition team, Inquisitor Favonis took a lot of effort to enter this ruins.

The crowd walked through a wide corridor paved with pure white hexagonal tiles and came to a wide underground chamber. In the center of the chamber sat a huge spherical machine, assembled from tightly fitted independent cells, and dense production lines were wrapped around the spherical machine like a spider web.

There was no doubt that this was an [STC], a standard construction template.

"Incredible, incredible! This STC is actually well preserved!" The mechanical sage in the team was ecstatic, and wanted to kneel down and lick the exquisite porcelain plate from the ancient times: "Except for the shell that has been eroded by time and is somewhat decayed, the core components of this STC are actually completely intact! Even the production line connected to it is still relatively intact, which is amazing..."

By the way, what is hanging on the production line is...

The human-linked scientist in the team turned his artificial eyes, and the zoomed vision locked on the humanoid machines hanging on the spider-web-like production line. The precise structure, the tight joints, the super expandability brought by the weapon slots all over the body, and...

The hideous and ferocious skull face on his face.

"Iron Man." Judge Favonis made a judgment: "What is sealed here is... the standard manufacturing template of the Iron Man Army."

In an instant, he thought of a lot of things. The current human empire is devastated, and the current galaxy is in danger. His Majesty the Regent urgently needs a powerful force to fight for him among the stars, clear the aliens, cleanse the chaos, and protect mankind from the crisis of extinction.

And at this critical moment, he found an ancient weapon from the Dark Ages of Technology.

——The Iron Army.

“This must be the Emperor’s will.” Favonis was convinced.
