Chapter 567 My brother, who is too sick to take care of himself, cannot live without me
-
"What?" Lamizane asked in surprise, "Why is the proportion of labor costs in next year's fiscal budget so low? I thought we had to prepare a large portion of salary expenses?"
"That's right. My lord, because we now have a large number of newly joined war serfs (*the original word is this translation, I haven't found a better translation yet) to work in our newly reclaimed areas and forged worlds."
Sitting opposite him was a surprise that his darling, Perturabo BC, accidentally let slip to the boss - the Zamyrax - an improved Jade Dragon mech that he had been eyeing for a long time under the pseudonym "Whitereath" - - No wonder Sage Decima has always said that "it is impossible to find the same good materials" - Sigismund, nicknamed "Western Sword Fairy", is being looked at by him with a smile, and at the same time reporting the progress of the work to him.
As for why the Chapter Master, Archon, and Half-Primarch asked Sigismund, who didn’t feel sore legs at all, to sit down—it wasn’t because he had seen too many standing chess pieces, and this one was holding a seat while sitting. The report looks like it has a unique flavor. [Gutella's foul language] You can't make money even if you don't lie down! He actually didn’t turn the ratio of Xi Jian Xian into a plastic one!
Of course, the first supreme marshal of the Black Templar, who has been transformed into a cybernetic body here, is very accustomed to this kind of crazy look or fanatical admiration.
After all, no matter whether he was alive or dead, Sigismund has always been the center of attention - not to mention, back then he was a poor boy who could not protect others and could only watch his companions being killed. When he was drafted, The Night Lord also said to him, "We are here for you"!
Yes, the hellish fact is that Sigismund was actually a talent discovered by the Night Lords from the gang slums when they went to recruit soldiers.
Later, Ms. Astartes identified him and determined that although he also possessed the talents of the Twelfth, Sixteenth and a very small part of the Nineteenth Legion, he was more suitable for the genes of the Imperial Fists, and he was eventually assigned to the Seventh Legion. Under his command.
After that, he arrived on the moon again, and Heliosa-37, the female leader of the Lunar Gene Sect, took her daughter to perform further biochemical implant surgery on him. After that, he met Fafnir Lan. Well, the latter later became one of the Ryan Court Masters of the Seventh Legion, and then became the first Chapter Master of the Executioners Chapter.
In general, a poor boy with excellent talent survived from a desperate situation, was manually modeled by a genetic master, and met outstanding friends. In his fighting career, he has achieved brilliant results from dueling pits to fighting aliens to fighting rebel factions. The fallen Fulgrim survived him, was favored by the Emperor, and was ignored by the Primarch. In the end, he took a piece of the 7th Legion's property and started his own sect, eventually becoming a grand master.
Except for the old Phalanx, the Black Templars have become far richer in all aspects in subsequent development than the Imperial Fists of which he was born. It is indeed a throwaway model that a certain old man on the throne loves very much. The Champion Mass Production Organization - I'm going too far, and the death of Sigismund came from the duel with Abaddon who became the Warmaster in the First Black Crusade. All these extraordinary things have made a real non-mass production type. Hero role.
Of course, thousands of years have passed since all the events here. I am afraid that only Sigismund himself remembers the details of these events. But he does not know that the person in front of him who knows this is also smiling and staring at him. His Highness La Perturabo.
Although I don’t know why His Highness Lamizane stared at him with a face that was not very suitable for such a smile and smiled so kindly and joyfully, it did not affect Sigismund’s continued reporting to him dutifully - why If the former leader of the Black Templars after the Imperial Fist came to take over, there would be another explanation.
1. The Black Templars and the Imperial Fists are now well-organized and well-organized organizations in Wandering Harbor and the Iron-Blooded. The Black Templars in particular are very obedient. Sigismund will not refute anything he says. , and the average combat power is also high, and it also brings its own ships, which is very useful;
2. The batch of Iron Warriors brought back by the Maelstrom can only fight and kill. Their transformation program is very crude and lacks a large number of original brainwashing files. It is difficult to use for administrative purposes. The real ones are line-fillers and Iron Warriors. The veterans only have two or three kittens, not to mention the veterans who have not yet come back and are lying in the infirmary waiting for Hong Suo to come back...
3. Hong Suo deceived...captured...most of the half of the fifth company of the Ultramarines brought back were seriously injured. They had to consider fearless, mecha or rebuilding a large number of limbs. There was no time for biological cultivation. They are all in the water tank now. , at most you can use a few useful brain gadgets as a thinker, but when it comes to some work that requires personal communication or inspection, there is no way;
4. The Emperor's Children's strengths are not here, not to mention that they are still in withdrawal and are not suitable for work. Although the Iron Hands have Magi of Calculation and Calculation Council, their body structure cannot be used in common with other people, and they cannot increase their speed. Besides, The haze where Medusa is The Star Territory is not a peaceful place. Fulgrim Ishtar and Ferus have to work remotely now and may leave at any time. At the same time, they will not interfere with Perturabo's actions. Management of block areas;
5. Magna Dorn... Magna was rich in theoretical knowledge under the tutelage of a certain furry teacher, but now she is sent back to focus on the planet itself that receives the refugees from Cadia - it needs to be done The transformation of the world requires major changes, including the construction of orbital platforms, star rings, etc., major construction! Even those who were lying in the infirmary had to be rescued by Hong Suo before it was too late to send them as helpers.
To sum up, in the end, the management of the roaming port was initiated by Lamizane, Perturabo made the decision, and the Thirteen A... Thirteen Primarchs associate director, Sigismund, sponsored it.
As mentioned above, after screening and quarantine of the group of Iron Warriors brought back by Hong Suo, it was discovered that most of them actually became Iron Warriors after M32. Therefore, in fact, none of them had the most important practical skills of the Iron Warriors. After learning, Hongsuo had to reopen the medical laboratory of the Iron... Destiny Steel. In addition to treating diseases and saving lives, he also had to seize the time to re-brainwash and instill in them a complete set of practical knowledge of the Fourth Legion.
Since he is the only pharmacist here now, Hong Suo is as busy as a spinning centrifuge. Even the people who came to arrest him and hang him on the bridge were repelled by his anger: "What? The bridge?! I'm too busy now. No time to go to the bridge of Macragge! Not even the Destiny Steel!"
Not to mention how long it took Honsuo to read the actual genetic test reports of these Iron Warriors and cursed behind closed doors - a certain Moon Wolf and a certain Emperor's Son who passed by curiously but did not intentionally eavesdrop could only hear the Potion Master leaving the room. He muttered something like "Don't let me find you, Calcato, right?"
"War serf..." Sigismund saw the other person put a hand on his face. "I beg you, please do some capitalism... the feudal dependency system is too long..."
"You mean...?"
"It's nothing." The other party sat up straight, "You always have to eat one bite at a time. Let's first re-discuss why more newcomers choose to become serfs instead of accepting the employment system and then target it..."

Robert Guilliman was astonished at what he saw when he found a part of his brother in his workshop.
"What?" A certain part of his brother, or body, was sitting at a workbench inside, looking at the visitor who had just been allowed in. "Hello, Photographer... Guilliman, what can I do for you? Looking for me?”
No, it was not because I was surprised to see Perturabo's body leisurely drinking coffee and reading a book in Perturabo's workshop, but...
The Thirteenth Primarch's gaze took in every detail of this place.
There is a wonderful harmony in the fullness and clutter of this room and a vague sense of purpose...
By the way, it's the armrest.
Everything shows that this is for a room owner who has difficulty walking or has problems with waist or lower limb joints.
The tools and things that need to be taken are all at a convenient height. The tabletop, cabinets and other furniture form a series of support points just at elbow height.
...It is true that Perturabo's body has balance problems when walking, which the original body should not have, but is his condition actually that bad? The soul split and body separation caused by forced escape... The situation is indeed not optimistic no matter how you think about it.
Guilliman cleared his throat.
"It's nothing, but I think I need to talk to you."
"Oh? What's it about?"
"Related... how do you view the Empire and our enemies now? - Now that you have escaped from the Empire, but you are here to rule in the name of the Empire, but if you want to say that you are enemies of the Empire, compared to Chaos, you But it’s more like doing both. In the end, you didn’t launch an expedition, and you didn’t focus on recruiting troops and arms production. So how do you plan to fight back and defend?” Well..."
Lamizane put his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and began to patiently explain some ideas to the Thirteenth Primarch.
Lamizane pointed out that whether it is the original imperial truth or the current state religion, in terms of belief, in a sense, this is probably where Chaos is far inferior to the empire.
No matter how hypocritical, decadent, and expert in civil war the empire is, at least it can still pretend to have some ideals and beliefs even if it is just pretending, let alone be truly pious.
Facts have proved that even pretended ideals and beliefs are much stronger than naked and undisguised primitive desire drives.
The state religion and the emperor believed in by the empire naturally have the belief to suppress other forces, so it is basically not that difficult for the people of the empire to agree on a general direction and the implementation of major events; on the other hand, Chaos is essentially a mess of warlords and bandits, and it is very difficult for the people of the empire to agree on a general direction and the implementation of major events. It is difficult to reach a consensus on the general direction.
Therefore, it is natural that the Black Legion is considered by some Chaos traitors to be their new hope.
However, after the tree falls and the hozen disperse, it is always more difficult for chaos to come back, which is equally natural.
Moreover, if Chaos is defeated or is close to being eliminated, it will only be enough if it can cause a new change in the galaxy and beyond; if the ecological niche they vacate cannot be filled in time (such as the population and the number of space warriors, in fact, it is not enough anyway), then filling If the empty slots are a group of more harmful, vicious and difficult-to-remove creatures, then it would be better to leave them as they are and put them aside for processing.
Besides, you can’t just look at what’s in front of you, you have to look at the long term.
When you see the Chaos Demon being so brutal and evil, you think it is already the downline of darkness and fear in this universe; but have you ever considered that only when you see inhumans in the future will you understand that there is an abyss beneath this downline.

Similarly, if you see that the empire is dying of corruption and incompetence, at least there is still a shell that can be used in a name. It is better to be famous than unknown, but don't take it seriously.
This is the reason why Lamizane and Perturabo prefer to stay mainly outside the imperial power system and do not want to seriously associate with Chaos.
But even so, there must be someone who understands this and is willing to work together to do it big, fast, and hard.
Now that the Milky Way is in chaos, they can take the path of the fringe star area and surround the sun star area!
So Lamizane looked at the Thirteenth Primarch opposite, and his expression could not be more obvious.
Obviously, a galactic-level super internal affairs thinker like Robert Guilliman is definitely not ignorant or unclear.
But even with his mind, he was still sluggish for a long time before he finally nodded slowly.
"...I know, regarding this matter, I will stay here for the time being..."
"We also need to communicate in a timely manner. Both I and I can do it."
"...Okay."
Then the Thirteenth Primarch saw his fourth brother's body visibly relieved. The unattainable and mysterious temperament quickly went away, and the feeling of tiredness and wanting to lie down crept up on him again. tip of brow.
Guilliman also slowly frowned: It seems that Perturabo's health is indeed very bad. The process of escaping from the Terran cage was by no means as smooth as he had made it. Also, if it was that simple, how could he have done it back then? Will not be able to arrive in time...
But what the person opposite him with drooped eyelids is actually thinking is:
Although they finally reached a preliminary alliance face to face and were still far from unbreakable, it was still better than nothing.
Moreover, in a short period of time, there may be space-time turbulence in such a large area up and down the galaxy. In fact, in a short period of time, we can't just rely on the hands of these people to do anything - it's all full, if you don't count Angron... The Iron Heart Chapter fleet that Petra took away, their own current strength They can barely manage to gather a relatively full Holy Scripture Regiment; this may also be one of the reasons why some departments of the empire acquiesce to the development here - let alone the anthill and dam, everyone understands the reason, but the dispatch of troops is always too delayed. Kuwa waited until it was obvious that he could no longer suppress it before sending troops. This is a characteristic of the empire and must be tried.
Everything is lacking now, except for the Queen of Glory and the fortress.
It's a pity, except for the 30 million soldiers and civilians that Cadia has obtained, there are more than 10 million more people who meet the recruitment standards in Wandering Port.
These numbers are all mortals. Even if qualified Space Marine candidates can be screened and recruited from them, not only will it require enough time and pharmacists, but this number of people will be a drop in the bucket on a galactic scale - just one rupee where they are now. From the Kong 2 galaxy to the outer dust cloud, it is about 2 light-years in diameter.
The number seems small, but when converted into kilometers, it is 26.4908 trillion kilometers. What's more, there is no plane defense in the void. You need to consider the up, down, left and right.
Didn’t you see that the distance from the solar system to the Oort cloud is only about 3 light years? The Imperial Army has deployed many fortresses and combat groups inside and outside. They are said to be impregnable, but they have been evaded under the eyes of others. Not only is a certain sage there Mars has worked hard for ten thousand years to create hundreds of thousands of new varieties of Astartes and equipment. Even the cult in the Holy Terra Bottom Hive still cannot be wiped out, let alone the genes of the next brood that have grown to this day. Stealer!
Well, when you think about it, there are so many things... While Guilliman is being deceived and has not yet decided to rush back to Macragge immediately, he must quickly assign more affairs to him...
————————
The capital of Macragge, Magna City
Diglis dragged his exhausted body and sat cross-legged in the private meditation room of Hera Fortress.
In front of him were scattered tarots, animal bones, sand, grass stalks, coins or other common divination props.
Everything presented him with a revelation, a revelation that indicated that great changes were about to take place, and that an army of the dead, the non-existent, aliens and demons were about to appear on Macragge.
The chief think tank frowned tightly.
But why is there also a "four" in every omen?
Four?
What does this mean?
