Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor

Chapter 208 Repelling Wa Banxian and Reforming Mechanicism

While confronting the Inquisitorial fleet, the Ark of Omens sent out several warships to launch an orbital airborne drop on the Forge World.

The rebels on the ground had reinforcements, and the battle line began to advance. The demon engine broke out with powerful combat power, not only crushing the skitarii servants, but also spreading subspace corrosion, turning more machines into demon engines.

Many servants turned against each other, grew more limbs and weapons, and even fused together to become a huge cohesive body like a titan.

Although the cathars were large in scale, they were also quickly defeated, and the front line advanced towards the burial site of the holy relic.

Under such circumstances, the Said puppet took over the command and gave an order to the casting general:

"Let all troops retreat here and hold on to resistance until reinforcements arrive!"

This location is exactly where the holy relic is buried, and the Giant God Soldiers of the Overseer Group occupied it first, and built tight fortifications as the last resistance.

General Casting was surprised: "If everything goes where, what about other areas? Chaos will loot everything!"

If Said did this, it would be tantamount to giving up valuable industrial equipment and research materials, and concentrating his forces on strongholds of several square kilometers. Of course, General Foundry was not happy.

Said complained in his heart: "The robbing of Nima, the scale of Wa Banxian's soul melting furnace is much larger than here!"

But he didn't bother to explain, and said coldly: "Execute the order, or do you plan to take responsibility for the defeat!"

The Skitarii rebelled, and the founding general didn't have much say. Whether he would be liquidated after the war was still a matter of opinion. He didn't dare to disobey Said at this time, so he could only issue orders resentfully.

Soon, the rebels and the Vashtor invasion force encountered strong resistance, the speed of advance slowed down, and the density of loyalist troops increased, making defense easier.

General Foundry was surprised to find that after the Skitarii retreated, the enemy did not attack the rear, but smashed the Skitarius front. He asked suspiciously:
"His Royal Highness, is there something buried in the fixed location?"

Said nodded and said: "That's right, the enemy invaded this time to snatch the treasure inside. At present, the treasure has been controlled and contained. We will wait for the reinforcements to arrive and take the enemy away!"

The Foundry General was curious about what the treasure was, but Saeed kept silent and refused to answer.

At this time, the battle became fierce. Both the attacker and the defender suffered heavy losses. Every inch of land had to be fought over and over again, leaving corpses everywhere.

Time passed little by little. At this time, the golden sun hanging high in the subspace was shining brightly, calming down the subspace storm, and the legion fleet immediately leaped through the subspace and reached the outer reaches of the galaxy.

Five thousand warships Chen Bing on the edge of the galaxy, carrying a huge army, pressed against the rebel fleet with only three hundred in number.

The rebel fleet was evenly matched with the Judgment Court fleet, so naturally they couldn't resist the main force of the legion, and were killed in an instant.

The Nova Cannon fired a volley, and the Void Claws output all their strength, destroying a large number of enemy ships in an instant.

However, Said keenly discovered the anomaly. Those who were slaughtered were the Mechanicus rebels, but the Ark of Ominous Omen was blocked by a psionic shield to resist the suction of the black hole.

Psionic energy, as idealistic energy, can transform gravity according to the Grand Unified Theory.

As the god of invention and creation in the warp, Vashtor can naturally simulate the Grand Unified Theory.

However, the imperial warships had the advantage in numbers, and massive nova cannons focused their fire. Under the pressure of Mount Tai, the psychic shields were quickly overloaded, and the Ominous Ark was massacred.

The Legion fleet broke into the interior of the galaxy, launched an orbital bombing of the Forge World, supported ground operations, cleared the landing field, and launched an orbital airborne.

Soon the auxiliaries scattered all over the equator and pushed towards the poles. The invaders and rebels were attacked by the enemy, their morale plummeted, and they fled one after another.

The legion fleet increased its bombing efforts, continuously airdropped space fighters to the defensive circle, strengthened the loyalist front, and repelled wave after wave of attacks.

In the end, the invaders and rebels retreated, and the defenders and legions would join together to cleanse the entire planet and transfer the holy relics at the same time.

In the melting pot of subspace souls, Vashtor was extremely furious. Its long-planned offensive was thwarted, and the second holy relic was snatched away.

This means that even if all the remaining fragments are found, they must fight a tough battle with the empire to regain the fragments of the holy relic in order to become a god.

According to the performance of the empire, it is obvious that they have known about the attack for a long time, and even know the function of the holy relic, so they have made targeted arrangements.

Being so targeted by the powerful forces, Vashtor is extremely uncomfortable. It urgently needs to plan a campaign to divert the attention of the empire and reduce the resistance to collecting holy relics.

So, he turned his attention to Abaddon again, and decided to increase cooperation and give the Black Legion more royal aid.

When the holy relic arrived at the palace of Terra, Said heaved a sigh of relief. If Vashtor wanted to become a god, he could only attack Terra by force.

The solar system is the most heavily defended place in the galaxy, and a strong attack on weekdays is tantamount to cannibalism, so Vashtor only has one chance—the No. 13 Black Crusade.

Only when Abaddon restrains the main force of the empire can Vashtor fish in troubled waters and weaken the forces of the solar system.

For this reason, Vashtor must strengthen the combat power of the Black Legion, and the most direct way is military assistance, just like what Yingjiang did to Ermao.

Moreover, the battle between the Black Legion and the Greenskins is bound to speed up, and the No. 13 Black Crusade is not far away.

But this is an overt conspiracy. Even if Said knows what the enemy is doing, he can't stop it. He simply forgets it and concentrates on the internal affairs of the empire's farming and accumulating strength.

In addition, the Mechanicus rebellion must be resolved. After the war, Said issued an extinction order on the Forge World, and at the same time strengthened the control measures against the Mechanician.

Said also served as the foundry general of Mars, directly controlled Mars through puppets, and then launched reforms within the Mechanicus.

Compared with Terra, Mars has much weaker control over the various forging worlds. If a certain forging world masters unique technology, it is basically an independent kingdom, and it can completely ignore Mars' orders.

After Said took control of Mars, the first thing was to strengthen the centralization, imitate the Terra system, directly control the star base and the galaxy fleet, send more inspectors to the foundry world, and bring them into the scope of law enforcement by the Tribunal.

If the Forge World encounters an invasion or rebellion, it will first be attacked by the galaxy fleet, and the Tribunal will also maintain infiltration monitoring on weekdays to ensure the Forge World's loyalty to the Empire.

In the past, forge world loyalty was completely self-conscious, the Inquisition could not enforce the law of the forge world, and reforms weakened the independence of the forge world.Opposition was soon encountered.

The teachings of the Mechanicus are different from those of the State Religion. The Forge World was worried that the Inquisitorial Tribunal would be bewildered to enforce the law. In panic, some Forge Worlds rebelled.

Said had been prepared for a long time, and immediately sent the prince's army to suppress it with all his strength.

In the face of the original power, the cathars were vulnerable, and the rebellion was easily suppressed. In order to deter them, Said used the extermination order on the rebellious forge world.

During this period, many Primarchs came to Said, such as Fenus the Iron Hand, Vulcan the Salamander, etc. The Mechanicus was happy to cooperate, and they were worried about the second civil war in the Empire.

However, Said's identity as the foundry general and the original power of the Mechanicus is naturally legal, and he dismissed the concerns.

Under the storm of iron and blood, the Mechanicum quickly succumbed, accepting Terra's supervision and cutting power, and the reform was successfully completed.

At the same time, in the Eye of Terror, the Black Legion defeated the Greenskins, which was like a signal, marking the beginning of the No.13 Black Expedition.
