Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Gray Feng sat across his body on Russell's lap, holding a steaming cup of tea in his palm, sipping it in small sips.

Russell organized his thoughts and said: "Of all the 20 Astartes Legions, the First Legion is the most special one."

"Many people have heard of the illustrious name of the Space Wolves Executioner Legion, but almost no one knows that in fact, the Dark Angels, the First Legion, the Children of the Lion King... are the Executioners in the true sense. ', this Legion has been doing all kinds of shady things for the Emperor since its birth."

Russell said, casually picking up the Technical Exchange Agreement of the Adeptus Mechanicus on the table, rubbing it gently with his fingertips, and then said: "Grey Feng, what is your impression of the Adeptus Mechanicus?"

Gray Wind opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of hot air, thought for a while, and said: "If you want to talk about it, it should be a group of conservative technical warlords who cherish their broom. They monopolize almost all the military industries in the human empire in the name of the servants of the Mecha. Manufacturing, even massive private industries and a large number of mineral planets are under the full control of the oil guys."

"A very accurate summary." Russell nodded with satisfaction and changed the topic: "The Mechanicus Order is so important and so powerful. The influence of the technical priests is deeply bound to all aspects of the human empire. So have you ever thought about it, if the Mechanical Order The Order rebelled one day... What will happen to the Human Empire?"

"It will destroy the country." Gray Wind answered without any hesitation: "Mars is as important as Terra to the human empire. No matter which head the two-headed eagle loses, it will only die."

"Exactly." Russell nodded in approval of Gray Wind's answer, took a sip of tea to moisten his lips, and continued: "The existence of the Dark Angel is a strong insurance for the Adeptus Mechanicus."

"This insurance is called the Icarus Agreement."

"The Great Crusade launched by the Emperor of Mankind is also known as the 'Reconquest Movement' among some people. Under the leadership of the Emperor, 20 Astartes legions and a massive Imperial fleet set out for the star sea and across the galaxy. Searching for the lost Human colonies, killing all the aliens we see, crusading against feudal warlords on one side, and... discovering those lost golden age technologies, mainly STC."

"According to the 'Treaty of Olympus' signed between the Emperor and Mars, Mars will provide armaments for the Empire's Great Crusade, and all STCs and ancient technological relics discovered by the Emperor's armies during the Great Crusade should in principle be handed over to the Machinery The Order... was called the Adeptus Mechanicus at that time. This was the basis of their cooperation."

"But there is one legion that is outside the Treaty of Olympus. I believe you have guessed it." Russell touched Gray Wind's head: "That is the First Legion, the Dark Angels."

"There is a top-secret 'Icarus Agreement' between the Dark Angels and the Emperor. The Icarus Agreement gives the Dark Angels the power not to hand over the STC they recovered during the Great Crusade to the Mechanicus, but to keep it for themselves. To enhance our own military strength."

"At the same time, the Emperor also secretly gave the Dark Angels a large number of black technology weapons from the Golden Age, as well as some extremely taboo horrific creations."

For example, the Orb of True Knowledge on the Eumenides... The Emperor was willing to give anything to the First Legion.

"The Icarus Agreement gave the Dark Angels Legion powerful autonomous powers and a strong military strength that arrogantly surpassed all brother legions before the Battle of Randan. It is well-deserved to be the first legion."

"As for the Dark Angels who possess such powerful power, their mission is to activate the purge protocol in the Icarus Protocol when there are signs of rebellion in the Mechanicus, and completely obliterate all unstable factors - completely obliterate them."

"The Icarus Agreement has been activated a total of 8 times since it was signed. At least 8 forge worlds with disobedient hearts were suppressed by the First Legion and their existence was wiped out. Not even a trace of their existence was left. To this day Almost no one knew that the Icarus Accord existed, let alone that it had ever been launched."

"And this is the 'shady thing' that Dark Sky does."

Russell said, putting his hand into Hui Feng's clothes and touching her belly. It was hot: "You need to blow the tea to cool it down before drinking it. It will be hot to your hands."

"Oh..." Gray Feng lowered his head, pouted his mouth and blew air into the tea cup.

Russell then continued: "The Mechanicus has an equal status as the Empire and controls almost all the advanced technology and productivity of the Empire. Once such an organization goes into trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, the Emperor himself cannot openly suppress the Mechanicus. Even if the oil man rebels, he cannot take action to put an end to the rebellion, because this will inevitably cause the originally loyal Forge World to feel dissatisfied and become disloyal. "

“—The Icarus Protocol was designed to deal with this situation.”

"To brutally eliminate all risks of betrayal by the Adeptus Mechanicus with bloody massacres in the secret, and to keep this strictly confidential so that no one other than the Emperor knows what they have done. This is the Dark Angels, the First Legion, the emperor's son-in-law. hand."

Gray Feng pricked up his ears and listened to Russell's words. He kept pouting and didn't take a breath. He blew the tea to the standard human body temperature in one breath, and then brought the teacup to his lips: "Marshal, drink tea~"

"Thank you." Russell took a sip of tea and continued: "Then based on the positioning of the First Legion, I believe you can also think of it - the Dark Angels are the only ones who do not have to rely on the equipment supply of the Adeptus Mechanicus to forge the world. The real Independent Chapter of the Astartes.

The Dark Angels have sworn to protect thousands of worlds and have dozens of complete military industrial chains. They are self-sufficient in supplying all equipment and are completely free from any constraints from the Adeptus Mechanicus. This is the basis for their launch of the Icarus Protocol. "

"At the same time, this is also the reason why I chose to cooperate with the Dark Angels and ignored the Adeptus Mechanicus." Russell breathed out.

Gray Feng nodded and stood up from Russell's lap, picked up the teapot from the table and poured tea into the empty cup, while saying: "I probably understand your considerations, Marshal."

The Adeptus Mechanicus has a lot of power within the human empire, or it is too big. After getting the fragments of the technology tree that she brought from the home universe, its power has increased, and the most important thing is to build a galaxy-level L-star. The gate network can only rely on the Adeptus Mechanicus.

This will lead to the Oil Man's control over the Imperium of Man further deepening.

If Russell does not exercise restraint in this regard and frequently exchanges technology with the Adeptus Mechanicus just for the sake of convenience, the power of the Adeptus Mechanicus will eventually expand to a very terrifying level. Although it will not threaten the human federation, it will be enough to disintegrate the human race. empire.

Therefore, even if Russell wants to breastfeed the Human Empire, he must balance the amount of milk. He wanted to build the Human Empire into an anti-injury human shield between the Human Federation and the demons and monsters, but what happened when the human shield milk exploded with a mouthful of milk?

"We cannot allow the Adeptus Mechanicus to dominate, we must support a powerful armed force within the empire to check and balance Mars." Russell finally concluded: "In terms of checking and balancing the Adeptus Mechanicus, there is no more suitable option than the Dark Angels. "

After all, the Dark Angel has been an executioner for ten thousand years.
