A Golden Throne Trial Card

After bringing Qin Yun into the public eye and making him the Regent,

Guilliman then set about pushing forward the Indomitus Crusade Expedition.

The Fifth Expeditionary Fleet was involved in the accident, was temporarily suspended and handed over to Qin Yun to investigate the cause of the accident and carry out reorganization.

The other expeditionary fleets set off in turn.

The Third Expeditionary Fleet was the first to set off.

The fleet was Fleet Commander by Cassandra Verlescus.

The flagship was an Oberon-class battleship named Noble Precept.

On the eve of the expeditionary fleet's departure

Grand Master of the Grey Knights, Voldus, secretly met with Guilliman.

He compiled the findings of his investigation into the God Chosen over this period of time, personally handed them over to the Primarch, and took the opportunity to offer his own suggestions.

"The God Chosen must be included in the expeditionary fleet."

"The qualities they possess may be the greatest gift that Emperor have given to mankind."

"With them, the gods will no longer be able to draw power from the chaos of the Imperium at will."

Guilliman reads documents very quickly.

I finished reading the thick document in just a few minutes and extracted the important key information.

You have to understand that with so many words and data, an average person would probably have to spend several days reading it to figure out exactly what the report was about.

"Your report means that the God Chosen can block the resurrection and curse abilities of demons, thereby limiting those Warp creatures," Guilliman asked Voldus.

"Yes." Voldus nodded.

"We have tried many times, and both the curses and blessings of the gods have been neutralized when they encounter the God Chosen."

"If the enemy performs a blood sacrifice, it will normally affect everyone. However, if the God Chosen intervene and disrupt one of the links, they can block the influence of the gods, or even affect the exercise of power by the evil gods, so that they cannot benefit."

"Just as excessive killing can bring the blessing of the Blood God, while diligent study of knowledge may bring the curse of Tzeentch, as long as the order to kill or study knowledge is given by the God Chosen, the person who carries out the order will not be harmed."

The difficulty in fighting the Warp lies in the unique abilities of those bizarre creatures.

They can draw power from the actions, methods, and motives that kill them.

For example, Lucius the Eternal —if you don't kill him, he'll cause trouble all the time.

If you kill him, you will be cursed and become the vessel for his resurrection.

But if the God Chosen were to take action, the outcome would be entirely different.

The other party cannot parasitize the God Chosen, nor can it parasitize those who are happy to hear of Lucius's death from the God Chosen.

Lucius must be far removed from the God Chosen's influence in order to be reborn.

Furthermore, when facing the Blood God's army,

If you don't fight, the opponent will simply sweep you aside and leave you with nothing.

Go ahead and fight; Blood God can continue to benefit from the war and become stronger and stronger.

In addition, there are examples of researching technology, ancient psionic arts, and secrets involving darkness, which are also examples of this.

Therefore, there is no solution to this situation.

No matter what humans do, they will be affected by the Warp.

Humanity's ambition and drive grant power to the gods.

The gods can gain power from their acts of destruction.

No matter what, you win; it's just a matter of whether you win a small, big, or super big win.

The God Chosen's traits are specifically designed for this.

The gods and Warp Daemon can no longer guarantee profits as before.

If it fails, you could lose everything.

Guilliman looked at the documents floating in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Alright, I will assign the God Chosen to the expeditionary fleet."

"It will also allow Mars to mix the modified Beacon Ship into the fleet's serial numbers."

During this period, Guilliman did much more than just assemble the Expeditionary Force.

In addition to integrating Beacon technology into Astronomican, several Beacon Ships were also built, with the intention of using them to establish a communication network that could cover the entire Imperium Sanctus.

Communication has always been a problem that has plagued the Imperium.

The minions of the gods can make extensive use of the Warp to establish real-time communication.

The Imperium's Astropathic Communication, on the other hand, is much less efficient and is frequently disrupted by Warp Storm.

A new communication network based on Beacon will become the key to victory for the Indomitus Crusade force.

To get the God Chosen to cooperate, we need to build Instant Communication Network and use the Xi Ling to issue tasks to them.

Guilliman originally planned to first send these Beacon Ships to various locations.

Within the territory of the Imperium Sanctus, establish a massive communication network.

Let those lost worlds connect with Terra.

For now, the only option is to infiltrate the expeditionary fleet and establish a communication network for the God Chosen.

Otherwise, if the internet is cut off and people are bored for too long, the hardworking little Chosen ones will lose their energy.

Guilliman took out a Data Slate and began to examine the information on the God Chosen.

The primary objective of the Third Expeditionary Fleet was to prevent the Slaughter Crusade.

To prevent the Warp Rift from expanding further.

This means that the Third Expeditionary Fleet will have to face Khorne army head-on.

The God Chosen must be skilled at dealing with demons.

"Let the Demon Hunter Warband follow the Third Expeditionary Fleet."

Guilliman muttered to himself as he edited the task on the Data Slate, then sent it to Xi Ling for review.

Xi Ling polished the mission details and then forwarded it to the Demon Hunter Warband.

Mission: Assist the Third Expeditionary Fleet

The Indomitus Crusade Expedition is about to begin; a new war to conquer the Milky Way is about to commence.

Do you want power that is second only to the emperor and above all others?

Do you want the honor of being worshipped by hundreds of millions of people?

Do you want sacred and ancient relic equipment?

By joining the Indomitus Crusade, you'll have a chance to win. Go to the recruiter and sign up; your epic legend will begin in the Indomitus Crusade.

Basic rewards: 160,000 Contribution Points, 78,000 Honor Points, and 120,000 Faith Points.

Commission rewards: awarded based on war contributions, with a certain probability of obtaining the Aquila Medal.

The Demon Hunter Warband players are currently residing in the Silent Monastery on the Luna — Castle Sonam.

Here they learn from the Silent Sisterhood how to use their Soulless Power and how to forge weapons containing Null Field.

Castle Sonam was abandoned after the High Lords of Terra ousted the Silent Sisterhood from the Solar Sanctum.

Some families that had sworn an oath have held this place.

They had no resources and lived in poverty.

For many years, they endured poverty and Hunger.

But they never gave up and persevered until the return of the Silent Sisterhood.

Through Guilliman's efforts, Silent Sisterhood regained the noble status she held during the Great Crusade.

Large amounts of resources were sent to Sonam Monastery, the abandoned halls were rebuilt, and the generators that had stopped running started roaring again.

This ancient black building has been revitalized.

Those servants who remained steadfast received their due reward.

They will once again serve the Silent Sisterhood and wield corresponding authority.

Those who had mocked and scorned their stubbornness and foolishness were now filled with unease because the Silent Sisterhood had regained the Primarch's favor.

In the Imperium, revenge for shame and hatred is a legitimate act, and no one would criticize it.

Aleya gazed at these God Chosen, unsure how to describe them.

They were Blank, cursed beings, just like him, but they were far more optimistic.

Furthermore, they did not swear an oath to be soulless, so they could speak loudly and freely.

This made Aleya feel both disdain and envy.

She's forgotten what her voice sounds like!

"Your idea is absolutely brilliant."

Sisters Asuma, the head of Castle Sonam, quickly gestured, praising their idea of encouraging the Blank to learn the Word of Darkness.

Due to their inherent characteristics, Blank find it difficult to find Imperium troops willing to partner with them.

Therefore, individual combat effectiveness is crucial.

Learning the art of Word of Darkness, a skill that requires no psychic powers, can undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of Blank, enabling them to deal with various threats more easily.

"You have shared Word of Darkness with us, and we must reciprocate."

Sisters Asuma made a gesture.

Then, a servant with a pale face came forward.

Being among a group of Blank, such behavior is not surprising at all.

The servant was carrying a sword case.

Inside, upon opening, was an Executioner Greatsword.

The hilt of the sword was wrapped with anti-slip strips of cloth, and the scriptures on them were faintly discernible.

The sword was thick and heavy, engraved with ancient and obscure runes.

"What's this?" Brother Zhong looked surprised and delighted.

Thank goodness, I've finally maxed out these women's favorability; are they finally going to give me equipment?

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

It's too difficult.

I have no idea how Warmaster's Succubus managed to do that!

I have a feeling that this guy can easily gain favor with NPCs.

"This is a weapon infused with the remains of the powerful Silent Sisterhood, named Annihilation, which deals special damage to psionic or Warp Daemon."

Sisters Asuma picked up the sword and placed it in front of Brother Zhong.

"This is a gift from you for sharing your knowledge of Word of Darkness with us. Please accept it."

Brother Zhong happily accepted it.

Holding it in your hand and turning the blade, you can feel its heavy weight.

"If this thing is taken to the Emperor's Shrine for appraisal, it's guaranteed to be an epic-level Relic."

"He's incredibly handsome."

"I'm envious, I want one too."

"Are there any missions?!"

"Just one? Shouldn't it be one for each person?"

"..."

Just as the players were drooling over the 'Annihilation' in Brother Zhong's hand,

The mission to assist the Third Expeditionary Fleet has been announced.

"Are they sending us to support the Third Expeditionary Fleet? And the rewards include Relic and the Aquila Medal!!"

Brother Zhong ordered his men to put away 'Annihilation,' which was a treasure of the Chapter and should not be used recklessly unless they encountered a powerful enemy.

After all, the Chapter is broke right now and hasn't gotten any Relic.

If I had known, I would have stayed in the Calixis Sector with the Little Alpaca and the others to grind dungeons.

That way, at least you could get Relic, instead of being penniless like you are now.

Having received his mission, Brother Zhong bid farewell to Sisters Asuma.

"Have a safe journey," Asuma said, making a gesture of blessing after learning what they were going to do.

"May the Emperor's Light continue to Aegis you."

Brother Zhong also blessed the Silent Sisterhood, and then led the players of the Chapter to leave in a transport ship.

Why should we give them our Relic?

After the God Chosen left, Aleya gestured to Sisters Asuma.

"They are more suited to that weapon."

Sisters Asuma responded to Aleya with a swift hand gesture.

"That was left behind by my sisters," Aleya continued to question.

"Our sister is loyal to the Emperor, child. Everything she has belongs to the Emperor, and so do we. All we need is to serve the Emperor."

Aleya was somewhat annoyed, but powerless to change Sisters Asuma's decision.

The Demon Hunter Warband reported to the Third Expeditionary Fleet.

They had their own warships, but they all remained in the Baal System.

Modern Beacon cannot transport warships.

Therefore, for this mission, they could only travel on ships of the Third Expeditionary Fleet.

Fleet Commander Cassandra appeared to be in great distress in front of the Blank.

However, out of respect for the Emperor and the Primarch, the Demon Hunter Warband was allowed to remain on the Noble Precept.

With everything prepared, the Third Expeditionary Fleet set sail.

Amidst meticulously choreographed fireworks and cheers,

The flagship, the Noble Precept, was the first to set sail.

It departed from Terra Orbit, leaving the orbital dock and sailing into the dark, boundless Void.

The ship was enormous, its overall shape resembling a giant blade.

The bow position is comparable to that of a light cruiser.

To better adapt to the Indomitus Crusade, the Noble Precept underwent multiple rounds of modifications and enhancements.

Belisarius Cawl incorporated a great deal of technology into this ship.

This behavior drew criticism from Conservatives.

First, they hoarded ancient knowledge; second, they pursued dangerous innovations.

Both constitute the crime of technological heresy.

But Cawl was clever; he claimed that some of the technology came from Living Saint and God Chosen.

As the human incarnation of Omnissiah, the Living Saint clearly could not be a technological heretic.

Those who use these technologies cannot be technological heretics.

Those who accuse themselves of being technological heretics are the real technological heretics.

Such rhetoric left Conservatives red-faced and speechless, unsure whether to refute or not.

The Imperial Navy also publicly stated its support for Magos Cawl.

For them, bigger cannons and better engines trump all debate.

Countless magnificent ships followed the Noble Precept as it left the Sol System and entered Warp, heading towards its destination.

The deployment of the Third Expeditionary Fleet was just the beginning.

In the time that follows,

Expeditionary fleets set sail Second Company, and even Guilliman, along with Sicarius and others, embarked on the journey.

The massive Indomitus Crusade has officially the Veil.

This war was a blow that humanity struck at the Chaos Gods.

Guilliman throws himself into the battle against the gods, while Qin Yun also the Veil the Terra Reformation.

He ordered Inquisitor Galen to investigate the incident involving the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet at all costs.

We're planning to follow the trail and give these people a big surprise.

Before obtaining concrete evidence, Qin Yun did not remain idle.

Instead, he planned to use the Infinity Key to help the Emperor repair the Golden Throne first, and then deal with the rest later.

After finishing his official duties, Qin Yun boarded the Overlord Gunship and went straight to the gate of the Sanctum.

The Adeptus Custodes on duty were dumbfounded.

For thousands of years, no one has ever dared to so openly land a gunboat in front of the Sanctum.

"Living Saint, haven't you gone a bit too far with your behavior?"

Heracleon, the Tribune on duty guarding the Sanctum, spoke in a somber tone, clearly displeased.

Even if the other party has revealed their identity and purpose,

But how could the Adeptus Custodes Guards possibly save face by sailing directly in gunboats to the Emperor's Sanctum?

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry," Qin Yun said. "After I finish things here, I still have a lot of government affairs to handle."

"So you just happened to be passing by and wanted to see the Emperor?" Heracleon gripped his halberd tightly, suppressing his anger and dissatisfaction.

"Otherwise what? We can't just come all the way here to see Him, can we? The Emperor can't speak right now." Qin Yun shrugged. "Besides, we don't need to go to the Sanctum to talk to Him."

"Alright, stop blocking me. I need to go inside and repair the Golden Throne, then I'll have other things to do."

"You're just going to take them to repair the throne?" Heracleon questioned, looking at the Warmaster, the Old Bird, and the God Chosen.

"Who else should I bring?" Qin Yun countered.

Okay, actually, Qin Yun alone is enough to repair the throne.

The reason why players like Warmaster and Old Bird came along was...

It's because they exchanged their war merits for the opportunity to visit the Golden Throne, which is equivalent to buying a ticket.

While treating Emperor as exhibits is somewhat excessive...

However, considering that it could inspire the players' enthusiasm, Qin Yun readily agreed.

"Only you can go in," Heracleon said. "No other unauthorized persons are allowed to enter the Sanctum."

"They are not just ordinary people, but the Emperor's Chosen. Have you ever seen Chosen who cannot see the person he serves?"

Qin Yun spoke up in rebuttal,

"In the name of the Emperor, make way and let us in."

"Otherwise, I would consider advising the Emperor that the Adeptus Custodes has accomplished nothing in the past ten thousand years, wasting Imperium resources and making a mess of the Imperium."

"Now they are even plotting rebellion and defying His Majesty's decrees, trying to use the Emperor to command the Imperium."

"These are all slanders!" Heracleon said.

"So what? If you're not happy, go complain to the Emperor and see if he'll even listen to you." Qin Yun stared intently at the Adeptus Custodes in front of him.

These corncobs are just difficult to handle.

They all have terrible tempers.

"Living Saint."

At this moment, Trajan Valoris, the Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes, came out in person.

"Are you also going to stop me from entering the Sanctum?" Qin Yun looked at Trajan.

"No," Trajan shook his head. "I'm only here to accompany you into the Sanctum. You reported that you can repair the Golden Throne, but frankly, I'm skeptical."

"To ensure the safety of the Golden Throne, the Adeptus Mechanicus has also sent several Magos, and we will jointly supervise the repair of the Golden Throne."

Qin Yun is, after all, the only person in the Imperium who can currently communicate with the Emperor.

Trajan dared not offend him.

Although he was the Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes and the head of the Emperor's personal guards,

But after the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, he never communicated with them.

If the Living Saint were to truly slander the Emperor, the Adeptus Custodes would be utterly powerless to stop him.

Trajan remembered the words Sicarius had once spoken.

"I wouldn't be surprised if one day you are replaced by those God Chosen."

"They receive far more favor than we do."

Trajan appeared, accompanied by the Adeptus Custodes and Magos.

Only then were players like Warmaster Ten-Timer able to successfully enter the Sanctum.

As soon as they stepped inside, they were deeply shocked by the scene before them.

"Is this the Throne Room?"

"Isn't it too big? How tall is it?"

"Look at those machines, they're ridiculous, you can't even see the end of them."

"This is simply a great advancement in the history of human technology."

"If this thing is studied further, it might even enable humans to ascend to the heavens, just like the Aetheric Phase Engine."

"When will the official version release a trial card for the Golden Throne? I want to try it out too."

P. S.: Another day of procrastination.
