The Chancellor's Control (1)

In the 41st Millennium, following that Horus Heresy, humanity's Emperor ascended the Golden Throne.

To this day, whoever sits on the throne is nothing but a corpse, awaiting the arrival of the next turning point in their destiny.

"For The Emperor!"

On the frontier of the Imperium of Man, outside the ruins of a dying Industrial World's Hive City.

Han Mingxuan arrived here.

"It seems we really have a knack for being connected to industrial-type Hive World. Hopefully, there won't be a next time."

Unfortunately, Han Mingxuan saw the Power Armour paint scheme of the Lamenters here when he landed.

Mustard yellow, with a chessboard pattern on the left shoulder and a heart bleeding with tears in the center.

"Sigh, it seems I rested for too long and wasn't vigilant enough. I should have asked what time it was beforehand."

However... based on my last encounter with Dante, it must be at least nine hundred years into the 41st Millennium now.

Dante became Chapter Master after the Macharius Horus Heresy.

At that time, only about two hundred members remained in the entire Blood Angels Chapter, Dante was the only surviving high-ranking commander.

Of course, the Macharius Horus Heresy refers to the Horus Heresy that occurred in the world Macharius conquered after his death, not Horus Heresy by Macharius himself.

Then there's Mephiston, who's already Grand Master in the Chapter's Librarian.

In other words, the Second War of Armageddon was over.

If we calculate it that way, it would be at least 923 years after the 41st Millennium.

Looks like we've arrived a bit too early. I should have waited until the Battle of Cadia.

But since we're already here, let's prepare early.

Perfect timing, the things the Emperor gave me will come in handy.

Data for each Legion's Gene-seed.

He needed the Primarch at the Luna base, but the Emperor, to be on the safe side, gave him everything he could.

That's good, it saves me the trouble.

But... how do I join in?

Direct descent of the gods?

No, no, that won't do.

Although his Military Uniform bore traces of what the Primarch had left behind.

But in this era, that would be considered an antique.

Regardless of whether anyone recognizes them, the first thing they'll be summoned is the Inquisition.

Han Mingxuan had absolutely no desire to deal with those crazy bastards.

How about... we start with the very basics?

OK.

As soon as Han Mingxuan thought of this, the armor that the God of War had given him appeared and then transformed into Astra Militarum Military Uniform that fit him perfectly.

The War God Weapon then became the standard weapon of the Astra Militarum.

"Great, great, now we don't have to loot the dead's equipment."

The War God Weapon is ever-changing and can transform into any weapon used in war.

It doesn't matter whether it's a cold weapon or a firearm.

After becoming familiar with the equipment, Han Mingxuan found the main force.

This place has just been through a battle, so it is currently in a period of rest and recuperation.

This was also the time Han Mingxuan chose.

Because at this time, a large number of the Astra Militarum had died, and given the incompetence of the Departmento Munitorum and the Department of Internal Affairs, no one would care if a big guy suddenly appeared.

Han Mingxuan successfully infiltrated the team and followed them to the field hospital.

There they need to receive basic treatment, faith review, and simple stress relief.

These tasks were all performed by the Hospitaller.

Hospitaller are non-combat personnel and are not equipped with main combat equipment.

This is also what makes the Lamenters so memorable.

They were notoriously unlucky, but their loyalty and bravery earned them the respect of other combat units.

Therefore, even now during the Penitent Crusade, many combat units are willing to cooperate with them in some remote worlds or undocumented places.

So it's normal for there to be nuns.

However, Han Mingxuan never expected that in a world where the political system was so chaotic that just one glance could make someone faint, he would still be exposed.

"Name."

"Neoth."

"Age."

30.

What did you do before?

"He's a thief."

"Thief?"

"Yes, a sheep thief."

Homeworld?

"Tenebor II."

After a brief inquiry, Han Mingxuan was left standing aside.

Huh?

This... this isn't right, is it?

Logically, shouldn't the next step be for the Hospitaller to begin preaching about the Great God-Emperor and so on, to ensure the faith is sound?

How come they left themselves out in the cold?

"Um... Sister, do I not need treatment?"

"Your arms and legs are fine, what kind of treatment do you need?"

"Forehead..."

That's correct.

You can't just directly mention faith, can you?

Directly addressing faith-based guidance will most likely result in censorship and purification by fire.

"Soldier, come with me."

Han Mingxuan was wondering about this when suddenly a Hospitaller walked up to him.

"Yes."

"Don't be so formal, soldier. You can call me Miranda."

"Yes, Sister Miranda."

"By the way, my nun sisters just shared some of your information with me, and I need to verify it again."

"Neoth, 30 years old, from Tenebor II, used to be a sheep thief."

The nun in front simply nodded and didn't say anything more, as if it really was just a routine check.

But soon, Miranda took him to a place.

It was a makeshift command post.

Two soldiers stood outside the door.

He is Ultramarines.

Guilliman's descendants are too authoritative; they are all over the galaxy now.

However, to his surprise, these Ultramarines would briefly cooperate with the Lamenters.

But upon closer reflection, if it weren't for the help of friendly forces, the Lamenters would have been wiped out long ago.

The Penitent Crusade, which lasted for a century, began in 912, the 41st Millennium.

It could be said that they were expected to fight until the 42nd Millennium without any supplies.

If no one had helped them, they would have all died long ago.

"Commander of the Malakim Chapter Master."

"Oh? Sister Miranda, what brings you here?"

Malakim Phoros.

He began serving as the Chapter Lamenters during the Penitent Crusade, and by the time the Kraken Hive Fleet invaded Malvolion, almost all of the Lamenters had perished.

The Chapter Master is also missing.

As children of the Blood Angels, they suffer greatly from the Black Rage in this era.

In addition to the Penitent Crusade, this Chapter Master maintained his respect and gratitude towards those who provided assistance to them.

Do you still remember that Imperium- wide proclamation from the Department of Internal Affairs?

Announcement to the entire Imperium?

You mean that time?

Shortly after the Second War of Armageddon, the God-Emperor's power was once again manifested in the Imperium.

A man named Sinleech became the Imperium Chancellor.

As it turned out, this Chancellor was extremely capable.

At the very least, he can get the Imperium's entire system running.

Even Chapter on Penitent Crusade could receive inquiries from the Imperium from time to time.

Although most of the time it was questioning in Inquisition, at least the information was still being disseminated.

Moreover, this Chancellor was not only a Chancellor, but also a Living Saint!

The most powerful Living Saint in the history of the Imperium!
