Warhammer 40k: Collector of Terra

Chapter 46 Arriving at the Throne World
Suddenly, the entire [Throne World] was shrouded in a thick layer of haze.

But before the panic and panic spread further to other areas of the empire, the then [Marshal of the Imperial Guard] Trajan Valoris issued a notice in the name of the [Emperor]:

[In the name of the great Emperor, I am here to announce to the entire empire the return of an Emperor's son! 】

[By the Emperor's grace, the returned Primarch will be crowned Imperial Regent!In this way, the ancient empire will emerge from the long night and regain its supreme glory during the Great Crusade! 】

It was just a brief announcement of less than a hundred words, but in a very short period of time, the entire Terra and even several nearby imperial worlds fell into a carnival.

Since the Horus Heresy, the ancient Primarch has disappeared from the galaxy for thousands of years.

The long time has erased mortal memories of the original body!Even most of the Astartes can only admire the glory of the Gene Father from the accounts within the Chapter.

This is an extremely dark and crazy ten thousand years! ! !
Death and sacrifice have become the norm in the empire, and decay and decline have long been deeply rooted in the bones of the empire.

Every moment the empire exists in this icy galaxy is filled with the souls and blood of countless loyalists.

The short-sighted and narrow-minded [Supreme Lords Council] cannot lead the empire to regain its past glory; the corrupt and ignorant [State Religion] will only drag the empire into the abyss.

In this desperate time, the return of a son of the Emperor will inject new vitality into the declining empire.

……

A few hours later, the [Gold Fleet] carrying the glory of the empire was anchored in the Terra Star Port.

The Primarch deliberately concealed his itinerary!

Until certain matters are completely resolved, he is not suitable to appear in the eyes of the people of the empire as the [Emperor's son].

Accompanied by the hissing sound of compressed air, the hatch with complicated patterns on the [Emperor's Song] suddenly opened.

Surrounded by a squad of Blade Champions, the Primarch set foot on the sacred territory of the Throne World for the first time.

When the original body arrived, [Marshal of the Imperial Guard] Trajan and [Grand Master of the Court of Assassins] Fadis were already waiting here.

Although they were mentally prepared, the two high lords were inevitably shocked when they saw the original body.

Wearing the [Holy Armor] and holding the [Emperor's Sword], coupled with the golden spiritual energy that is as warm and blazing as the sun!In a daze, the Marshal of the Custodes and the Grand Master seemed to see the great Emperor returning to the world.

But now is obviously not the time to admire the glory of the Emperor!

Even though the betrayers had paid the price of death, the storm of the attack on the Primarch was far from over.

The Imperial Navy troops responsible for cleaning up the wreckage of the battleship discovered a battleship belonging to the [Inquisition] on the edge of the battlefield.

There was no one inside the battleship, but judging from the remaining communication records within the [Thinker] system, this battleship also participated in the plan to attack the original body.

[Mechanicum], [State Religion] and [Inquisition], three influential forces were involved in this conspiracy against the original body.

If this matter cannot be handled properly, then... the empire will surely fall into greater turmoil.

Among the three forces, the first to express its stance was Mars [Mechanicum].

Long before the original body arrived on Terra, the messenger from the Adeptus Mechanicus had already expressed its attitude to the Admiral of the Adeptus Custodes.Chaos is the enemy of all humans, and [Mechanicum] has been the empire’s staunchest ally from beginning to end!
As for General Casting's betrayal, it was entirely due to his personal factors.

The attitude of the Adeptus Mechanicus makes the Marshal of the Imperial Guard very satisfied, but such a big thing as attacking the Imperial Regent... cannot be fooled by such a simple few words!
The [Marshal of the Forbidden Forces] personally drove the Orion gunboat and escorted the original body to the [Terra Palace].

[Terra Palace]——The well-deserved heart of the empire! ! !

As a great symbol of the Lord of Mankind, this magnificent architectural complex spans across Eurasia!Even from Terra's low-Earth orbit, the flickering lights in the [Throne Courtyard] can be clearly observed.

The Terran Palace was once extremely prosperous!
But since the Lord of Mankind ascended the [Golden Throne], the Forbidden Army has blocked all connections between the palace and the outside world.

Tens of thousands of years of time erosion have left most areas inside the Terra Palace in a semi-abandoned state.

Even the [Audience Hall] used by the original body to negotiate with the Mechanicus envoys was an area that had been hastily repaired by the Imperial Army.

[Audience Hall] is located outside the Terra Palace!While the Great Master of Mankind was still alive, this building was often used for meetings between the Emperor and the Primarch.

The Primarch pushed open the door and entered.

What catches the eye is a rickety figure wrapped in various colored pipelines!More than a hundred kinds of medicines flowed through the pipelines, and then a certain delicate balance was reached in this body.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely noble [Biological Great Sage]!In terms of status alone, this envoy's identity is even higher than that of the Mars Forged General.

"Honorable Primarch, may the great Ohm Messiah bless you!" The Mechanicus messenger folded his hands on his chest and paid the highest respect to the Primarch.

This etiquette is called [Gear Ceremony].

Within the Cult of Mechanicus, the status of the [Gear Rite] is even more noble than the [Aquila Rite] in the imperial battle sequence.

Since the envoy chose to use this noble courtesy to meet the original body, it means that the [Mechanicum] is willing to pay for the fault of the founding general.

In this way, this negotiation will have a basis to continue.

The original body was not interested in talking nonsense with this oil guy who exuded an iron smell.

The moment he sat down at the negotiating table, the original body directly stated his demands to the envoy.

"I can forgive the Forge General's offense against me!" The original body looked at the envoy with an inexplicable look, "But as a price, within the next five centuries, the armaments provided by the Mechanicum to the empire must be based on the original basis. An increase of [-]%!”

This request doesn’t sound like too much!But for the Cult of Mechanicus, this is an unacceptably huge number.

The weapons and equipment provided by the Mechanicum to the Empire's battle order every year are astronomical figures!
Even if thousands of [Forge Worlds] are produced at full capacity, they can only barely meet the needs of the empire for years of war.

And an increase of [-]% on this basis... has far exceeded the limit that the Mechanicus can bear.

The emissary of the Mechanicus decisively rejected the Primarch's request.

"Twenty percent, up to [-]%!" The [Medicine Pump] hidden behind the messenger began to inject sedatives into the internal circulation.
