"Great, at least you're not just rigidly completing tasks anymore. That's a good thing. Half a month it is."

"I'll have a proper talk with them in two weeks."

"Uncle, won't this cause you any trouble?"

Perturabo did this simply to wait for his brothers to arrive.

However, this will undoubtedly put pressure on Han Mingxuan.

"Haha, have you forgotten, kid? Your Uncle here came from Gang Planet. There's no need for me to keep my word with those nobles."

"Besides, do you think those Huangpizi gave me so many titles just for show? If you really think about it, besides Malcador, I'm the most powerful."

"They're trying to Investigation me, so inviting them to this meeting is already a favor. Let them wait and see. Don't rush things, take your time. If half a month isn't enough, try a month."

"Please rest assured, Uncle, I guarantee the task will be completed within two weeks."

Watching Han Mingxuan leave, Perturabo felt for the first time that he saw a different side of his Uncle.

It was an undisguised pride, flamboyance, and iron will.

After finishing his conversation with Perturabo, Han Mingxuan went to the Department of Justice.

"How do you do things?!"

"I told you guys to be quick! Now look what's happened, your Dad has to clean up this mess!"

Han Mingxuan hadn't even entered the room when he heard Curze's voice.

"What, isn't it my duty to clean up my son's mess?"

"Dad?!"

"Uncle?!"

"Dad, you're back! Why didn't you tell us? We could have come to pick you up, especially given the current situation..."

"Hey, hold on, things outside are pretty much sorted out, so I'm coming back."

"This situation isn't your fault. You did nothing wrong; it's just that these Terra nobles made the same mistake as the nobles of Nostramo in the past."

Same problem?

Hiss.

Yes, yes!

"So, Dad, you mean to give it all to...?"

Curze made a throat-slitting gesture.

"You learn very quickly, let's do it that way."

"A Fa!"

"Exist!"

"This is Noble Petition. Within half a month, find evidence of their crimes based on this List. You don't need many, just one is enough, understand?"

"Yes!"

After arranging the work, Han Mingxuan gave everyone in the Department of Justice a holiday so they could all rest.

As for the Eighth Legion...

Curze gave them an order.

Two weeks later, everyone will be executing many criminals; they need to be mentally prepared.

Slaughtering millions of pigs at once would make people numb, let alone millions of nobles.

Meanwhile, Perturabo arrived at the Administratum.

This is a very rare occurrence.

Aside from the first time he brought people who failed the Eleven-Choice Examination, Perturabo had never been here before.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to come here."

"Don't be too surprised, Roboute, I'm here to recall my Scions."

"That's certainly not a problem, it's just that their exam results weren't very satisfactory."

According to the resolution, those who fail to meet the performance standards cannot be released.

He was simply following the rules.

Although these craftsmen of the IV Legion lacked cultural knowledge, they were far more useful than the average person.

"Don't be afraid, Thirteenth Brother, I'm not taking them away, they're just being temporarily conscripted."

"As you know, Uncle is facing a tough situation. Many nobles are looking to cause him trouble, so he needs a large enough venue."

"I see, then that's fine."

Perturabo nodded, then took out something.

It was a very exquisite model of the Macragge's Honour.

"This is?"

"A gift for you."

"Thank you, brother, this will be the most unforgettable gift I've ever received."

Roboute gladly accepted the gift; he was delighted by the changes in his Fourth Brother.

At the same time, his gratitude and respect for his Uncle deepened.

But those damned nobles still wanted to harm my Uncle; they were truly despicable.

Perturabo then went to see his Scions.

"Kodomō!"

Father?

Is that my father's voice?

Am I hallucinating while processing the documents?

I really miss the days when I could Decimation.

"Kodomō!!"

It's my father!

"Warsmith Kodomō awaits your command, Father!"

"Your reaction time is too slow. It seems you'll have to stay here a while longer."

No!

Father!

You can't do that!

"Report!"

"Speak!"

"Father! You should still Decimation!"

Upon hearing Kodomō's suggestion, the other Iron Warriors' eyes lit up as well.

"That's right, Father. We were the weak, eliminated from the front lines. We deserved to die under the Decimation!"

Um?

Wow, that's a bit too extreme.

Nonsense.

"This is utter nonsense! According to the Imperium Resolution, the Decimation is no longer applicable. If you want to go to the battlefield, you must pass the assessment; this is your only chance."

"And this time, I'm not sending you to die; I want you to build."

Put up?

What can you build in a place like Terra?

"I request that two identical buildings, one-to-one replicas, be constructed in Terra's Senate Grand Chamber within half a month. Is that possible?"

Should we build Senate Grand Chamber?

So, does that mean I can clean it now?

Finally!

Finally, I can leave this damn Administratum and give it a good beating!

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission, Father!"

Kodomō's eyes even felt a little sore.

But he forced himself not to cry; if he did, he might not even have the chance to build it.

"Very good, we only have half a month, let's start now, take action immediately!"

"Yes!"

Over the next two weeks, the entire Terra witnessed what Miracle truly was.

Primarch Perturabo of the Iron Warriors led his Scions on a massive infrastructure project across Terra.

These Iron Warriors, temporarily freed from the Administratum, vented all the pent-up frustration and resentment they had accumulated during this period.

Their drive was terrifying, and their passion for architecture was insane.

Perturabo felt gratified looking at his Scions had passed away so quickly.

The Imperium Bureaucratic System is indeed a training ground for people.

Currently, the overall project is progressing twice as fast as expected.

It seems we can negotiate with Roboute to switch to the second batch.

Thanks to the efforts of the Iron Warriors, two identical Senate Grand Chambers were replicated in ten days.

From the outside to the inside, it's perfect.

Upon seeing this result, Perturabo announced some major news in front of the construction site.

"My Scions, your actions prove your excellence. I declare that you, as the First Batch members to Implement the Resolution, have completed your mission."

"Meanwhile, your work here will be taken over by the second batch of people who failed the random test. This is also a reward for your exceeding the task requirements."

"You will be among the first to receive the Builder Medal!"

Separate from the Administratum!

Builder Medal!
