Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

After consulting the files at the time, Guilliman learned.

When the ether giant Jormungandr first appeared in the Ultramar star field, and as it pounced on Macragge, the Chief Secretary of the Order of Truth took the initiative to ask the Macragge government about them. Do you need your own help?

However, the then Grand Admiral of Ultramar, Wagner Eberon Civitas, sternly rejected Gray Wind's attempt to extend a helping hand, and also scolded her on the communication channel. The previous Ultramarines chapter leader Hatin's attempt to privately seek help from the Order of Truth was also criticized by the political faction headed by Marshal Wagner in the name of weakness.

At that time, Marshal Wagner delivered a very high-level pre-war mobilization speech on Macragge's public broadcast channel. He impassionedly declared that if the warriors of Ultramar had to rely on the power of the Federation pseudo-regime to protect them, Macragge, then what qualifications do they have to return to the Golden Throne to meet the Emperor of Mankind?

As a result, everyone's fighting spirit was ignited. In order to prove that their strength and consciousness were enough to protect the hometown of the Gene Father, the Ultramarines fought against the Ether Giant Worm until the last moment. The entire battle group evacuated to Konno except for the body of the original body. All but one of the star's recruit squads were killed.

The previous commander, Hattin, who was criticized by Wagner's political faction as a coward for trying to ask for help from the federal puppet regime, died trying to cover the departure of the transport plane carrying Guilliman's body. Not even a fragment of the power armor has been found.

However, Marshal Wagner himself is still alive. He even participated in the battle to annihilate the ether giant insects in the Darnak system and made considerable military exploits.

"..." Guilliman's brows twitched slightly, and hideous veins crawled up his forehead.

If possible, Guilliman now wanted to call Marshal Wagner to his office and hit him with an ultimate explosive punch on the head, but his reason told him that was not possible, that was not possible...

Although Wagner's thoughts were pedantic and he was extremely hostile to the Order of Truth and the Star Destroyer himself, his personal ability and loyalty to the empire were undoubtedly strong. He made outstanding contributions in the battle against the Insect Swarm and the Eldar on the battlefield of the Nak system. Every broad tactical goal set by Guilliman was achieved with force and efficiency. Every Eldar floating in the rubble The corpse and the Tyranid biological ship were his illustrious military exploits.

"Why can't you be a little more incompetent, even a little mediocre?" Guilliman gritted his teeth as he looked at the dazzling array of medals of honor on Marshal Wagner's chest.

As long as Wagner was an incompetent general who only knew how to talk empty words, Guilliman would be able to use the authority of the original body to eliminate him without any doubt, but this guy was still a fucking thief and had a lot of dazzling military exploits.

"The Star Bomber's unwillingness to see me and Ryan should be hinting at this. He needs me to kill those political factions in the empire, represented by Marshal Wagner, that are hostile to his human federation, in order to show his sincerity in cooperation. ” Guilliman thought he finally saw the hint of the Star-Buster.

He sighed in distress, put on the helmet of command, and while thinking about how to minimize the bad political impact of killing the distinguished Marshal Wagner, walked out of his office.

"Where is Belisarius Cawl?" Guilliman asked the veteran swordsman of the Honor Guard guarding the door.

The veteran sword guard bowed slightly and replied: "The Great Sage is currently studying the corpse of the ether giant worm in the Darnak galaxy. He boasted in public, claiming that he could unlock the reason why the ether giant worm can make super-light jumps with its physical body. It’s a secret. Since there are previous deeds of breaking through the core firewall of Blackstone Fortress, many people are looking forward to the great sage’s boast.”

...It’s really Kaur’s style.

Guilliman knew that the 13 Valkyrie-class flagships of the Terra Expedition Fleet all used warp navigation powered by biological engines. It was a kind of super-light travel in the physical universe that did not rely on subspace like the L-Stargate. Way. For many years, the biological magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus have never given up on researching and deciphering the biological warp drive, but they have not made any progress until today.

Technology is not a rigid knowledge that solves problems one by one, but is a product that makes civilization extraordinary. The sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus simply cannot understand the principles of warp drive. That's too complicated for them.

The biological jump engine of the ether giant and the warp engine carried by the Valkyrie are obviously two completely different directions. Can the research of the Great Sage Caul really make progress?

Guilliman trusted Caul, but he had reservations about the matter.

After confirming the Archmagos' movements, Guilliman secretly summoned a high-ranking Inquisitor of the Inquisition in private.

This judge is a middle-aged man with a cold face. He has curly brown hair, a hooked nose, and deep blue eyes like a pair of clear sapphires. One look at him makes people involuntarily wary.

Unlike Russell, Guilliman would not do anything casually. The original body's decision had its own considerations. The inquisitor who was summoned was from Macragge and could be said to be his hometown.

Like all living Macraggeans, Inquisitor Favonius Artura Aurisis was quite prejudiced against Marshal Wagner, who caused the destruction of his home world by the Zerg.

Inquisitor Favonis had deep dark circles on his pale face. He was wearing a traditional Macragge double-breasted dress and sat on the sofa opposite Guilliman, looking directly at the original man without fear. Looking into the body's eyes, "Lord Guilliman, why did you suddenly summon me?"

It would be unnecessary if they were just chatting. He has been busy torturing those Dark Eldar captives recently...

As a radical among the radical faction of the Inquisition, Inquisitor Favonius's methods against aliens are so extreme that even the Haemonculi would call them too cruel.

"I know that you are from Macragge's traditional noble family, Judge Favonis. Your bloodline is quite close to the Civitas family. Some fragmentary genealogies even say that... Wagner of the Ultramar Navy The Marshal is actually your cousin." Guilliman said: "But the relationship between your brothers is not very good."

Inquisitor Favonis's pale face was expressionless. He was not surprised that the original body could find out the details of his family background. After all, he was the original body, the son of the emperor's god. It would be strange if he couldn't.

"Does the original body also take advantage of such inferior tactics as conflicts between brothers?" Favonis suddenly said with a smile: "But your judgment is right. I hate this cousin of mine, so - do you want to what do you know?"

Guilliman did not mince words: "I need some incriminating evidence that can bring down Marshal Wagner."

There are no clean nobles in the empire. Anyone who cares can find something that can be called blasphemy. It depends on whether the Inquisition is more serious or not.

To put it more seriously, if a mortal couple changed positions at night, they would be classified as Slaanesh elements and be shot immediately. To put it more lightly, no one would care if the imperial nobles took pleasure in killing civilians every day. Of course, just a routine operation like killing civilians for fun cannot bring down a powerful military noble with outstanding military achievements.

Guilliman needs a bigger bargaining chip.

"I'm sorry. Although my cousin is sour and pedantic, and his style is the traditional bad example of an imperial noble, his loyalty to the Emperor is unswerving. What you want is evidence of heresy that can punish him with death. …That’s really not the case.”

When the conversation changed, Judge Favonis suddenly showed a sinister smile: "Although there is no such thing, there can be one."
