Building at Breakneck Speed

In the very end, the Wolf King Leman Russ was carried out by his brothers.

"Can he even go to the front lines like this?" Curze asked.

"I don't think he'll be able to go," the Lion said.

"What should we do then?" Roboute asked.

"Since his troops are on the front lines anyway, why don't we let him rest for a couple of days?" Curze suggested.

"I think it's a good idea." Lion El'Jonson nodded.

Finally, the group led the Wolf King to his palace.

Before leaving, Curze and Corax suddenly hit it off.

At the same time, the other Primarch present, along with Chancellor Malcador, also began to seriously and carefully examine the Primarch before them.

"Are you two twins?"

"Sanguinius, don't talk nonsense. We're obviously a dozen or so twins."

"Curze, what I mean is you and Corax look so alike."

"Sanguinius is right, you two do look very alike."

"Don't make a fuss, the Boss. At least I'm healthier than him, aren't I?"

"Haha, my brother, before I came here, my Uncle did tell me to ask you for advice on how to get a tan."

"Your skin is unnaturally pale; it doesn't look very healthy."

You could say they're truly father and son.

They said exactly the same thing.

"So, do you have any suggestions, bro?"

Suggestion?

Since this is what my Dad said, I really have to think of a way. But Corax's skin is so white, even whiter than mine was back then.

Terra doesn't have the necessary resources for labor.

Etc.

Labor?

Yes, labor!

Terra may lack the necessary conditions, but other places certainly do.

"I've got it! Since the goal is for you to get more sun exposure, then working on a construction site is the best option."

Construction site plastering?

Corax looked around in surprise. In Terra, a Living Hell made of reinforced concrete, where would he find a place to put ash?

"Fourth Brother, I'm entrusting Corax to you. Let him go with you to build up Lycaeus."

Hey, yeah!

Why didn't he think of building Lycaeus?

"Fourth Brother, thank you for your trouble. Also, this is a letter Uncle asked me to give you."

Corax then remembered that Han Mingxuan had asked him to deliver a letter to Perturabo.

"Since your Uncle asked you to do this, then you should come with me. It's perfect, since you're more familiar with the environment and social situation there, and you can offer me a lot of advice."

Perturabo didn't read the contents of the letter, because he had already communicated the general framework with Han Mingxuan in their correspondence.

His only responsibility was to verify that the handwriting on the envelope was indeed Han Mingxuan's.

After settling Russ in, Perturabo and Corax returned together to Lycaeus.

Then the entire IV Legion went into "killing the ash" mode.

Of course, this is because the current IV Legion has a policy of random Eleven-Choice Examination.

Therefore, among all the Legions in the entire Imperium, the IV Legion had the largest number of Eleven-Choice Examination.

This means that nearly half of the entire IV Legion had visited the Imperium Administratum.

In this way, the newly returned Lord of Ravens witnessed firsthand what the speed of the Imperium, or rather, the speed of the Iron Warriors, truly meant.

Whether they were ordinary combat brothers, Terra veterans, or Olympia soldiers.

Whether it's a battalion commander or a renowned combat hero.

When they set foot on the land of Lycaeus and began mixing the first bucket of cement, their overall atmosphere and the aura they exuded underwent a dramatic transformation.

On the way back, Corax's feelings were very pronounced.

The entire IV Legion, whether it was Perturabo or his Scions, was a group of steel plates when not in combat—a group of standing, breathing steel plates.

They were as calm, rational, and taciturn as steel.

But when they started setting foot on the construction site, things were different.

Everything changed, and the IV Legion was completely transformed.

The once cold and hard steel has now turned into molten iron.

They intend to use the high-temperature molten metal to completely reforge the entire Lycaeus into a fine steel billet.

Then, with the unparalleled architectural skills of the Warsmith, the entire Lycaeus was transformed into a work of art, a work of art in the history of construction.

It is precise, efficient, and deadly, yet miraculously also has civilian applicability.

What surprised the Lord of Ravens even more was the enthusiasm of the IV Legion during its construction period; they began to become talkative, rugged, and like living people.

They have their own unique insights and methods for using every brick, every shovel of cement, and every steel nail on the construction site.

"Brothers, for the great Father of Night, for the great Primarch, for the mission we were born to fulfill!"

"Quality and quantity guaranteed!"

"Build quickly!"

"Rolling Death Imperial Fists!!"

"Screw the Administratum!!"

The first two lines of the work chant were normal, but the next two lines were filled with immense competitiveness and resentment.

"Corax, I hope you can keep up with the pace of our Legion's development."

"I will, Fourth Brother."

Then...

The great Lord of Ravens has been ripped apart.

Can he keep up with the IV Legion's speed?

In fact, he could keep up with the IV Legion's speed, but he couldn't keep up with Perturabo's speed.

The Lord of Ravens simply couldn't imagine how his Fourth Brother could maintain the quality and precision of the construction at such a rapid pace.

"Huff! Huff! Huff! Fourth Brother, I feel like you're not building anything, you're fighting a war."

"My brother, for Iron Warriors, the construction site is their battlefield; construction must be done against the clock."

"I... I can't go on, I need to rest."

"Everyone has it!"

"Boom!"

The entire Iron Warriors Legion assembled at top speed.

"Slow down Planet construction and enter rest mode."

"Clear!"

Corax initially thought the IV Legion was really going to rest.

But he soon realized he was wrong; he had greatly underestimated the IV Legion's enthusiasm for construction.

Has the IV Legion's pace slowed down?

It has indeed been postponed, but to what extent?

When the IV Legion was first being built, Mortals couldn't see their movements at all; they could only see blurry images.

The IV Legion is still under construction, but their movements are now visible to Mortals.

Construction has indeed been suspended.

"Fourth Brother, has your Legion always been this powerful?"

"No, my brother, before we met Uncle, we weren't even considered Wrenches."

"After meeting my Uncle, as you saw, we became his Craftsmen."

"Fourth Brother, aren't you an Imperium Craftsman?"

"The Huangpizi will only use you and me as bullets, but Uncle will let each of us bring out our strengths, and I became his Wrench."

"And... Dorn?"
