After Dantioch saw the unspeakable scene at Olympia, he came to the construction site of Blackwatch again and started dusting business.

That day, he was attacking a Xenos fortress under the command of Perturabo, when he heard his own Gene-Father yelling, which seemed to be very unpleasant.

Dantioch heard who the voice on the other side was - Hogg·Menethil, Primarch of Blackwatch, a name that could not be mentioned in front of his father.

But because Hogg helped them recover the legion's Primarch, everyone in the Fourth Legion respects him very much. Privately, the veterans of Iron Warriors call him "The One Above".

And according to their observation, the father does not really hate the One Above. After all, if he really hated it, it would be impossible to connect to the communication.

In addition, his father always carried the Adamantium Bracelet with him, and everyone understood one thing, that is, Blackwatch should be their ally.

And when a few days later, Blackwatch's ship suddenly came to the rear of the legion, and Perturabo ordered him to go to Barbarus to clear the ashes, the idea became even more firm within the legion.

Along with Blackwatch comes a warehouse full of supplies, and even the magical Flesh Reshaping Chamber, which allows Iron Warriors to not have to worry about the few remaining ammunition and the wounded.

In this way, Dantioch brought his Dalian to Barbarus, and began their nearly 10,000-year journey of dust removal.

Seeing the construction site covered in green poisonous mist, Dantioch could only put on his own helmet to block out the poisonous gas, which deprived him of one of the great pleasures of swearing at the construction site.

With his excellent craftsmanship, Hogg directly appointed him as the chief engineer of Barbarus construction, making all Iron Warriors who came here feel respected.

Maybe it's because Blackwatch's food is so delicious. He feels that he has gained a lot of weight recently and his helmet is a bit crowded.

Putting the work of increasing Power Armor into the memo, Dantioch started his own inspection work. He wanted to ensure the quality of the project.

Then he found "The One Above" in the corner of the construction site, looking at the excavator in a daze, and quickly stepped forward and made a standard Aquila Salute.

"Hello, distinguished Lord Primarch"

After reacting, Hogg waved his hand and looked at the round Space Marine in front of him. From his logo, it could be seen that he was the company commander of the Fourth Legion.

"Hey! Isn't this my nephew Dantioch?"

"Sir, what are you doing? Are you not satisfied with the speed of construction? As long as you give the order, we can double the speed of construction."

"Then what? Dantioch, Servitor The death rate of workers will also double, right?"

I don't understand why Hogg said such a thing. Dantioch thinks it is reasonable to exchange some lives for progress.

Iron Warriors, who believes in "being strong both internally and externally", is not afraid of death. A team was once executed for failing to complete a task on time. He doesn't see anything wrong with killing some workers Servitor.

Even with the shield of the helmet, Hogg could see his doubts.

"'Steel Inside and Out' Perturabo taught you this, but I don't like it."

"First of all, if all these workers die, there won't be enough labor here when we leave.

Secondly, the Alicia under my rule cannot consume the life of Servitor at will. Every Servitor has the protection of <Hospice Care Ordinance>, because it is the property of Imperium.

And what's interesting is that after the announcement of <Hospice Care Ordinance>, the production efficiency of Servitor increased by 8% without any orders."

Dantioch, who seemed to understand something, asked Hogg a question.

"Dantioch, have you ever thought about a question."

To show respect, Dantioch took off his helmet, revealing his round head.

"?, Why have you gained so much weight? Are you too tired from work and become bloated? I will give you a day off to rest later."

Dantioch, who has been misunderstood, does not want to say that he just gained weight. This reason is too embarrassing and can only be said to be tiring. After all, Iron Warriors "Steel Inside and Out".

"Thank you for your approval. Maybe it's time for me to take a short break. What's your question, sir?"

"I've been thinking about one thing, what should we do when Great Crusade is over."

"What to do after it's over?"

"Yes! I have thought about it. Don't you like to build houses? Then it will be like this for post-disaster reconstruction and restoration of human homes.

Thousand Sons will be a scholar, Death Guard will grow food, Ultramarines will go into management, Blackwatch will continue to engage in transportation, Angron's War Hounds can continue to look after the door, but I don't know if that kind of life will come.

But the project is almost completed, and we can have a big dinner party in the evening. There will be fresh food for everyone to enjoy, and you can all come over in the evening."

"Ah this! Master Primarch, we will come."

For the sake of his own face, Dantioch hurried back to the station. He must now start to increase his armor immediately.

With the construction of the construction site, the current situation of Barbarus is changing rapidly, but the biggest problem of poisonous fog has not been completely solved.

According to the detection of Candice, the poisonous mist on Barbarus can be said to be a kind of spiritual pollution. Unless every inch of soil here is completely replaced, the poisonous mist will still be there.

After communicating with Mortarion, Hogg decided to implement plan B.

Since the poisonous mist cannot be eradicated, its scale must be curbed, and Blackwatch happens to have the technology to suppress psychic energy.

Batches of Blackstone materials were transported to Barbarus, and Hogg began his experiments on the former castle of Necare.

The dark red Psionic Energy turns into an electric surge and changes the form of Blackstone. The huge Obelisk rises from the ground, and Plasma Reactor provides the energy it needs.

Emerald green waves unfolded on the top of the mountain, and the gold content of Necron Technology was reflected at this moment.

The poisonous mist that was supposed to be diffuse began to condense, and the dirty spiritual energy in it was discharged into Warp. Without the interference of spiritual energy, the mist turned into snowflakes in the low temperature.

But this green snow still contains fatal toxicity, so I hope no one will eat it.

After the continuous work of Blackstone Obelisk, the surrounding air became tolerable to humans, and the experiment was a complete success.

Now that you have found a method, you must start executing it.

The Death Guards who knew nothing but could only move bricks at the construction site took on this job. Maybe it was because of Mortarions that these large cans ate more than anyone else.

According to the plan, Death Guard will build Blackstone Obelisk on each mountain peak.

Hogg did not hide anything, and directly shared part of Blackstone's technology. After all, the biggest enemy of mankind in the future will still be Chaos.

And Blackstone technology is indeed a more physical method of confrontation, which is much stronger than Warp evil methods.

Finally, after consuming a large amount of materials and taking 78 days, Barbarus was rebuilt.

Everyone attended the final celebration. After the celebration, Hogg took Mortarion into Blacklight's secret room.

"Brother! Could it be that?"

"That's right! Brother, it's time to officially join Imperium Secundus."
