Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

Encircled by a team of [Blade Champions], the Imperial Regent slowly pushed open the platinum door branded with the Emperor's holy image and complex patterns.

What appeared in front of the Imperial Regent was not a study room decorated luxuriously like the nobles of the Hive City... but an office space flooded with various books and paper documents.

Robert Guilliman, wearing [Armor of Destiny], was holding a fountain pen and sitting on the throne branded with the Ultramarines emblem.

The desk in front of Guilliman was filled with emergency documents like snowflakes.

The arrival of the Imperial Regent was not enough to shake Robert Guilliman's will.

[Lord of Ultramar] was still lying on the mahogany long table, handling documents from all over the star region with an extremely serious attitude.

After breaking away from the shackles of the title of [Primarch], Robert Guilliman's work efficiency was once again improved.

The Imperial Regent did not care about Guilliman's disregard. Gawain found a relatively empty spot on the other side of the mahogany table and began to assist the [Lord of Ultramar] in handling the task.

The air was filled with silence!

Except for the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, there was no other sound in this space...

After a few Terra hours, the Imperial Regent and Guilliman put down their pens almost at the same time.

The piles of urgent documents had been processed, and the [Lord of Ultramar] finally had time to have a brief meeting with the Imperial Regent.

"Imperial Regent, you have once again brought great benefits to the Empire!" Guilliman stood up from the throne and saluted the Imperial Regent very solemnly.

"This victory is not the result of my efforts alone!" The Imperial Regent shook his head calmly, "Astartes, mortals, Imperial Guards, Imperial Navy... You should thank every soldier who shed blood for this war."

"They are all heroes of the Empire!" Guilliman said firmly.

After a brief greeting, the two sons of the Emperor quickly got to the point.

"Regarding the two [STC templates] from the Tau Empire, the Imperial Guards team should have sent them to Terra two Terran moons ago." The Imperial Regent cast a look at Guilliman.

"Yes." Guilliman nodded slightly, "I have handed the two templates to the [Imperial Research Institute] for deciphering..."

Guilliman placed a neat stack of paper documents in front of the Imperial Regent.

In front of the Imperial Regent was a strange emblem composed of a double-headed eagle and a gear.

And this emblem belongs to the Imperial Research Institute established by the Imperial Regent and Guilliman.

The elites of the Imperial Research Institute spent several Terra days to completely decipher the data contained in the [STC Template].

As the Imperial Regent guessed, all the technology contained in these two [STC Templates] came from the Golden Age.

Unlike other [STC Templates] discovered by the Empire during the dark years, these two STC templates that fell into the hands of the Randan aliens... should actually be called [Mechanical Think Tanks]!

The function of the [Mechanical Think Tanks] is very similar to that of the [STC Templates], but the data stored in them is much larger than that of the STC Templates.

These two [Mechanical Think Tanks] seem to be the fire that an organization called the [Scientists' Union] kept for mankind at the end of the [Iron Man Rebellion].

As the fire of mankind, the [Mechanical Think Tanks] record nearly 90% of the technology of the [Golden Age].

Although most of them are about the research of [Hate Intelligence], even if only a small part of the remaining... is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the existing technology of the Empire.

Before these two [Mechanical Think Tanks] were completely deciphered, [Terminator Power Armor] and [Titan Mech] were both great miracles that the [Mechanicus] could never replicate.

But through the study of the Mechanical Think Tanks, the researchers of the Imperial Research Institute are fully capable of replicating these two great miracles.

The value of these two [Mechanical Think Tanks] to the Empire has reached an amazing level that cannot be surpassed! !

...

After the Imperial Regent dealt with various matters regarding the [Mechanical Think Tanks], Gawain was not in a hurry to leave Guilliman's office.

In addition to various matters regarding the [Mechanical Think Tanks], the Imperial Regent had another more important purpose for this trip...

That was to discuss the conspiracy from Chaos with other Emperor's children.

In the following Terra days, the [Emperor's children] who were on expeditions to other star regions also led their fleets one after another and arrived at the [Solar Star Region] where the Throne World was located.

From the [Star Voice Communication] sent by the Imperial Regent, the Emperor's children had basically understood the seriousness of the situation.

The Primarchs did not waste time in other parts of the solar system!

The moment they arrived in the Solar Segmentum, the Emperor's children boarded their own vehicles to meet the throne world.

...

Outside the Terra Palace, in the office hall of the Lord of Ultramar.

After thousands of years, the loyal Primarchs with the blood of the Emperor once again gathered in this magnificent palace.

Although they had already learned about the return of the Primarch brothers to the Empire, when Guilliman and the other Primarchs saw their brothers in person... an indescribable sense of vicissitudes still arose.

Even the [Lion King] and [Wolf King], who had always been at odds with each other, showed a long-lost smile to their brothers who had been separated for ten thousand years.

But the Emperor's children are not ordinary mortal brothers after all. The [Emperor's Blood] flowing in their bodies... destined them not to waste too much time on feelings like ordinary people.

The Emperor's children sat in the conference hall of the Terra Palace and held a meeting on the unusual movements of the traitors and Chaos Demons in recent years.

"Is there anything worth paying attention to about the movements of the demon primarchs?" The Imperial Regent cast his eyes on the Emperor's children present.

Although the demon primarchs have been silent in this galaxy for a century, the Emperor's children have never forgotten their betrayal.

Anyone who betrays the glory of the throne will receive the destined death bestowed by the Emperor! !

Even during the [Glorious Expedition], the Emperor's children have been paying attention to the movements of the traitors and Chaos Demons.

The Primarchs placed their intelligence on the conference table.

Although each of the Emperor's children had more or less information about Chaos, the only thing that really concerned the Imperial Regent was the document that the [Lord of Ultramar] took out.

It was a paper document wrapped in a brown paper bag! The silver-gray [666] logo was imprinted on the lower right corner of the brown paper bag, and the lead seal with skulls and angels intertwined shone brightly under the light...

The Primarchs knew very well what this logo represented!

[Grey Knights]!!!

Since the Imperial Regent and the Primarchs initiated the reform of the reorganization of the legions, thousands of large and small war groups in the Empire have been completely incorporated into their respective [parent groups].

But there is an exception...

That is the [Grey Knights]!!!

When the [Horus Heresy] that swept the entire galaxy came to an end, the seriously injured and dying Emperor was forced to step onto the [Golden Throne].

Before the fall of Malcador the Magical Strife and the body of the Lord of Mankind was about to fall into complete silence, the Emperor gave the Grey Knights as the last gift to mankind.

No one knows where the Grey Knights' gene seed came from!!

But every member who is qualified to join the Grey Knights is a powerful psychic and exorcist hunter...

The projection of the psychic in the warp is brighter than that of ordinary people. While being able to freely drive the psychic power... the psychic is also more susceptible to the pollution from Chaos.

Even the Chief Priests of each war group occasionally have been bewitched and corrupted by Chaos Demons.

But since the birth of the Grey Knights for ten thousand years, no Astartes has ever been polluted by Chaos Demons!!

They are not only the sharp blade given by the Emperor to mankind, but also the strong shield that protects the Empire from Chaos Demons.

The Imperial Guards and the Grey Knights are both creations of the Emperor, but these two creations represent the Emperor's completely different mentality in two periods.

The [Admirals] have bodies far superior to those of ordinary Astartes, but their projections in the warp are as dim as those of [Soulless].

This means that the Admirals will never be able to use the power of psychic energy in their entire lives.

The [Golden Legion] represents purity, and the great Emperor sincerely hopes that every citizen of the Empire can be like the Admirals... free from the erosion and pollution of Chaos Demons.

It can be said that the [Admirals] represent the Emperor's original vision.

But as the Emperor's last creation, the Lord of Mankind, who has always hated psychic energy, actually created a pure psychic unit like the [Grey Knights].

And this also means that the Lord of Mankind has extinguished his original ideal... and began to face up to the madness and despair in this galaxy.

The [Grey Knights] have always been a unique existence in the battle sequence of the Empire.

Thanks to the contract that the [Emperor] had made with the [Mechanicus], the oil men who believe in [Om Messiah] will provide weapons for the Grey Knights for free!

In most chapters, even the richest [Founding Chapters], [Power Armor] is an extremely valuable existence.

Whenever a new recruit passes the assessment, the old soldiers of the chapter will only give him a set of ordinary power armor inherited from the predecessors of the chapter.

As for the higher-specification [Terminator Power Armor], it is a privilege that only veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles can enjoy.

But in the [Grey Knights] Chapter, once a new recruit successfully passes the assessment... then he will get a set of [Sacred Shield] Terminator Power Armor equipped with various psychic devices.

The [Grey Knights] Chapter is the richest in the Empire.

Looking at thousands of chapters, large and small, only the [Grey Knights] have far fewer Astartes than weapons...

This shows the importance of the [Grey Knights] to the Empire and even the entire human race.

There is no doubt that the report presented by the [Grey Knights] will affect the future of the entire galaxy.

The Imperial Regent took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the lead seal imprinted on the brown paper bag.

What came into view was a secret investigation report from the Grey Knights.

The report was submitted by [Grey Knight Mentor] Ivan August. Today, when the position of [Supreme Grand Master] has not yet been determined... [Grey Knight Mentor] can already be regarded as an important figure in the entire chapter.

According to the description in this report, in the past two Terran years, the followers of the Chaos Gods have been active in various remote star regions of the Empire in various secret ways.

Now that the Empire is extremely rich because of the [Glorious Expedition], the Chaos Cult has lost the soil to take root in the Empire.

But where there are people, there are desires! ! !

There are always some people who will succumb to their inner desires and choose to embrace the blasphemous power of Chaos for power, beauty, money and even immortality.

These traitors who have betrayed the glory of the throne have created countless bloody sacrifices on the information-blocked world of the Empire!

The [Eight-pointed Star Rune] and the blazing flames that exude a foul smell can be clearly seen even thousands of kilometers above the planetary orbit! !

Trillions of Imperial citizens died in the conspiracy of Chaos believers.

The flesh and blood of the Imperial citizens satisfied the hungry Chaos Demons, and their souls became the food of the Chaos Gods...

Pain, death, despair and unwillingness...

The intense emotions of the Imperial citizens before their death echoed in every corner of the planet!

The painful wail aroused a long-lasting echo in the cold [Sea of ​​Soul]...

Intense emotions have weakened the curtain of reality and illusion to a great extent.

Even if the [Grey Knights] and [Golden Legion] have responded at the fastest speed, they still cannot stop the Chaos believers blessed by the gods...

The filthy and blasphemous power of Chaos is quietly invading the physical universe.

The malice from [The High Heaven] is subtly eroding the human soul! In just two Terran years, legends of bloodthirsty demons began to spread on some remote worlds of the Empire.

Although the worlds controlled by the Empire have legends of [Chaos Demons], when the people of the Empire witnessed the existence of these blasphemous creatures with their own eyes...this legend has become an erosion in the sense of facts.

[Astartes] and [Guardians of the Imperial Army] can still resist the erosion of Chaos with unparalleled loyalty and will.

But for fragile mortals, [knowing the existence of demons] itself is a kind of horrible pollution that is difficult to reverse.

In order to prevent the spread of Chaos pollution to the critical Imperial world, the battle barge led by the Grey Knight Grand Master issued an Extermination Order to three worlds.

Hundreds of millions of Chaos followers, plus countless mortals who were polluted by Chaos, all died in the horrific explosion that covered the entire planet.

But even though the Empire has paid such a painful sacrifice, Zed still cannot stop the spread of Chaos pollution...
