The First Large-Scale Campaign

"The Redemption of the Imperium, the Guide of civilization, the Living Saint of the Emperor, the savior of mankind has arrived here. Rejoice, servants of the God-Emperor!"

Qin Yun's First Company of titles was read out for nearly a minute.

From the moment those powerful and influential people saw Qin Yun, they bowed to him and only dared to straighten their backs after his name was read out.

Qin Yun spoke first before they could ask any questions.

"Lord of Ultramar, the great Emperor's son, Regent of the Imperial Regent, and Supreme Lord of the Senatorum Imperialis, Roboute Guilliman has been resurrected in Macragge and is currently leading the Imperial Army to expel the traitors of Ultramar. He will soon be making a pilgrimage to Terra."

"This is an authorization document personally signed by him. The entire Calixis Sector, the Koronus Expanse, and even all areas that I can influence and save, all human armies and government departments must unconditionally obey my orders."

Qin Yun took out a document and handed it to a servant beside him, asking him to deliver it to the group for review.

A gasp of surprise rose from the crowd.

Has a Primarch returned?

"Is this true?" a man asked excitedly.

Qin Yun's gaze pierced the man like a sharp blade, and he nodded slightly, "It's true."

Subsequently, a Servo-skull played footage related to the Macragge Festival.

The impressive army and Guilliman's appearance corroborated Qin Yun's words.

"We have hope."

"A Primarch has returned; those traitors are doomed."

The nobles were incredibly excited; they could almost see the Primarch leading a massive army to suppress the enemy.

"You're overthinking it. The entire Milky Way is in chaos. When the Primarch returns, he'll go to save the important areas first. The Calixis Sector is nothing compared to places like the Segmentum Solar."

"Yes, we still have to save ourselves."

Some poured cold water on the Primarch, pointing out that there was only one Primarch, but the Milky Way was calling for help everywhere.

It's hard to say where the Calixis Sector ranks, but it's certainly not as valuable as the Imperium's long-established sectors.

"Alright, quiet down, listen to me now," Qin Yun said, silencing the powerful and influential.

"I know you are full of confusion about me, and some of you even want to question my loyalty and even plan to play power games right under my nose, but I don't have time to play with you and I don't want to hear any of your questions."

"Now, you have a choice: relinquish your power and leave, and I will not hold you accountable. If you choose to stay, you must obey my orders absolutely."

"If you think you can challenge my authority, then go ahead and try. Whether you belong to the Inquisition or the Ecclesiarchy, I will crush you without mercy."

"I will declare war on the rebels. You have one day to gather all the information you have and report back to me at the meeting. Now you may leave."

"A day later, a military conference was convened to discuss the battle plan, and then war was declared against the rebels."

Qin Yun's conversation with the powerful and influential people lasted only half an hour.

He showed them no mercy or patience, but simply demanded that they give him everything.

Qin Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with his attitude.

The fact that they didn't order their arrest on the spot, even though they've managed to get the situation to what it is now, is already a sign of restraint.

After giving a brief speech to the public, Qin Yun left the stage.

As soon as he returned to his room, Xi Ling reported to him that the expansion pack was finished.

"Send it to me so I can take a look."

"Yes, Master."

The projection interface unfolded in front of Qin Yun.

[Expansion Pack: "Wrath of the Emperor" Officially Launched!]

[Synopsis: Chaos is spreading in the Calixis Sector. The Colin Family, in league with the forces of Chaos, is threatening the people of the Imperium. Countless worlds have been destroyed and slaughtered. The enemies of the Imperium are so rampant that they have angered the Emperor. It is time to punish them.]

[Illustrate:

1. All 'Chapter' must register with the two NPCs, Aing and Lothar, before the deadline. The official team will assign different tasks based on the characteristics of the Chapter.

2: The 'scores' earned during the war will determine the player's rewards at the end of the campaign. The Merit System will be officially launched after the expansion ends.

3: 'Farming-type players' can earn points in addition to Contribution Points and Sky Eagle Coins by completing military orders or assisting in the construction of military buildings.

4: The Chapter opens up the recruitment of Auxilia. Players can recruit NPC soldiers to assist the Chapter in battle, but they need to provide the soldiers with standard combat equipment.

5. When accepting a mission, please assess whether you can complete it. Chapter missions have time limits. If you miss the time limit, it will be considered a failure and the corresponding Warfare Score will be deducted.

6:...

+++ Thought for the Day: In the name of the Emperor, punish those shameful traitors!+++

Qin Yun checked the contents of the expansion pack.

After confirming that there were no problems, Xi Ling immediately uploaded it to the official website and pinned it to the top.

One second the players on the forum were talking about the Macragge trip and the return celebration,

The next second, the focus of the conversation shifted to the newly updated expansion pack.

Ten-Time Slaanesh Damage Dealer: "Is this considered the first large-scale battle? After forming the Chapter for so long, it's finally going to have a chance to be used."

The Khorne-Sucking Fanatic, "My great axe is itching for a fight!"

To Wrestler with Khorne: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Chop, chop, chop."

Second Empire Warmaster: "Warriors of the Emperor's Cattle Regiment, assemble! Fight for the Emperor! (Puts on sunglasses)"

The Nurgle-Kissing Fatty: "Hammer and Sickle Warband, assemble! Divine Machines set out to incinerate the Milky Way! (Puts on helmet)"

Holy Blood Pigeon: "Ace pilots, get on board! It's time to show the results of our training."

A Bowl of Lobster Soup: "For the Emperor, we have no choice but to do our duty. Thirteenth Regiment, charge!"

"."

Qin Yun saw the replies to the expansion pack announcement and a smile unconsciously crept onto his face.

"The morale of the cattle and horses is high."

This is the first time the players have participated in a battle as a whole, so we must not let him down.

"Enthusiasm alone is not enough; players must be able to benefit from the game."

Qin Yun knew that most players were currently maintaining such a high online rate because of their enthusiasm for Warhammer Online, coupled with the game's mechanics that made playing games feel like sleeping.

However, as large-scale wars begin and the fighting intensifies, players may need to be online for several consecutive days.

Enabling players to profit from the game and thus turning them into professional gamers is an imperative.

This revenue must be carefully controlled, allowing some players to take time off work to play the game without causing any negative impact on society.

"When I have time, I need to solve this problem first."

The military conference was held in a large warehouse on the Lycade Station.

Because so many people attended, including military commanders at all levels and high-level players, the meeting was also attended.

Ordinary meeting rooms were insufficient, so meetings had to be held in the warehouse.

The exhaust system operates at full power, removing the carbon dioxide emitted by the meeting participants and replacing it with fresh air.

The makeshift projection device hummed, projecting a star map of the entire Calixis Sector.

Most of the area has been dyed red, signifying that it has been captured by the rebels.

A few blues are still struggling, but it's a desperate fight and they won't last much longer.

After several military commanders finished introducing the battle situation in the Calixis Sector,

Qin Yun walked up to the group of people at the meeting and delivered a speech.

"I'm sure you all already know the situation in the Calixis Sector. We must declare war on the rebels and save the suffering world."

"In order to unleash the full potential of the war and defeat the rebels, from this day forward, any family that has lost its territory will no longer be qualified to rule that region, and it will be handed over to someone more capable."

Upon hearing this, the players immediately became excited.

"It looks like this is paving the way for the Merit System."

"Hehehe, I want to be the Planetary Governor."

"Haha, the governor of a planet, even if it's just in a game, is still pretty awesome."

"..."

Representatives from some of the fleeing families looked extremely uncomfortable.

In order to preserve their strength and maintain their voice, they did not offer much resistance.

If what was said at today's meeting is true, then they have completely lost their rule.

The rules of the game shouldn't be like this.

Qin Yun ignored them and continued speaking.

"The political structure of the Calixis Sector will be restructured, in Guilliman's name, and he has authorized me to do so."

"Your official positions will all be adjusted to adapt to the new political structure."

"Regardless of background, from now on, only ability and loyalty will matter. Don't try to play political games with me. I don't mind tying any fools who cross that line to the front of the warship."

The participants whispered, which then turned into audible protests.

"Sir, are you trying to overthrow the Terra government?" a woman questioned.

"Our family is recognized by the Senatorum Imperialis, and you have no right to dismiss us."

"Sir, this approach is too radical."

"Our family is loyal; how can you strip us of our rule with just a word?"

"..."

Qin Yun let the doubts fester until they all spoke before he spoke.

Are you going to disobey the Emperor's decree?

"You've lost the Calixis Sector, what right do you have to talk about rule now? A monarch enjoys power but also bears responsibility. You've failed so miserably, how dare you bargain?"

His voice was strong and clear, leaving the angry men speechless and dejected, their heads hanging low.

"I hope that everything announced at today's meeting will be resolutely implemented. We must unite to defeat the enemy."

"The war mobilization meeting will begin tomorrow. All units and departments must give way to the war."

"The traitors think we are powerless to fight back, so let's show them how wrong they are."

The day after the meeting ended, the war mobilization order was issued to all departments.

Military orders poured in, and all factories switched to producing military supplies, with machines running at full capacity 24 hours a day.

A large army was assembled, swore an oath of war, and then sent to warships in the port.

Players' enthusiasm was also aroused, preparing them for their first large-scale battle.

Once everything is ready,

Qin Yun didn't waste any words and directly announced the start of the war.

Their first target was Scintilla.

As the capital planet of the Calixis Sector, it holds a certain symbolic significance. Recapturing it would boost the morale of the Loyalists throughout the Calixis Sector.
