Chapter 14: The Beginning of Transformation

His Majesty the Emperor communicated with his Forbidden Army Commander for a long time, and during this time, Lu Mingfei stood aside and listened quietly;

Until the Emperor's Claws reluctantly bid farewell to the boy on the bronze throne, the tall and majestic figure was engulfed by the golden light of the teleportation matrix, and returned to the universe where the future would be even more difficult and terrifying.

"What is your impression of these warriors?" The boy's gaze then looked at Lu Mingfei again.

"Strong, calm, wise, determined...... Even if I were ten Astartes, I would have been defeated in a second if I met any of them." Lu Mingfei said truthfully.

Whether it was Trajan, the commander of the Praetorian Army. Valoris, or those mysterious forbidden soldiers wearing black and gold power armor, he is not confident that he can match the other party; Coupled with the unnamed golden armor and advanced weapons on their bodies, I am afraid that one person can match twenty Astarte warriors.

"Well, the Praetorian Army is indeed ahead of Astarte in every way," the boy nodded lightly, "They are the most perfect warriors I have ever created in the Old Night, transforming their bodies and spirits with the most advanced biotechnology of the Dark Age; And in addition to fighting, each of them was the best scholar of all time, possessing a myriad of knowledge, from military affairs, command, and politics to history, and art, and diplomacy, and management, to philosophy, and craftsmanship."

"They are my ideal human form, and I imagined that one day the entire human race would be able to ascend to this perfect form......" The boy sighed faintly.

Lu Mingfei was silent - the "Horus Rebellion" that completely shattered it all must be an eternal scar for His Majesty.

"But you don't need to be discouraged," the boy took the initiative to comfort Lu Mingfei as if comforting a wounded child, and stroked his shoulder, "Although you are inferior to them in terms of combat effectiveness and knowledge, you have the same quality that they lack now—that is, the compassion of sacrificing oneself to protect the weak."

"The Forbidden Army is not perfect, although they have extraordinary force and wisdom, they have been closed in the palace for 10,000 years because of their obsession with me and the sins imposed on them, and even the field of thinking has been dulled to the point that they can fall into a brief chaos after the commander is killed, until Valoris becomes the new commander;"

The boy said, sighing as if he was a little helpless or with a headache.

"And you, once a cowardly soul who needed the protection and guidance of others, have grown into a warrior to protect others, just like your weeper brother, even if you are riddled with bad luck, not being understood or even ostracized because of your origin, you are still determined to sacrifice your life in my name to protect humanity."

"It's the most precious quality, shining like a star in the darkness of that universe."

It was a supreme honor to be personally appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, but Lu Mingfei still calmly suppressed the joy in his heart, compared to him, the brothers of the weeping man needed this honor more.

"Now it's time to begin preparations for you and your legion's transformation surgery. Alchemy Sergeant."

"Come on, come on!"

A new teleportation blue light appeared in the Hall of the Stars, and Ronald . Tang's figure appeared from the blue light, and a smile on his face seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After saluting the boy, he immediately set his eyes on the two extra black metal boxes, and he looked a little impatient.

The boy raised his palm, and the thin threads of golden light flowing from his fingertips floated towards one of the long metal boxes, as if they were imprinted on the body, and the black metal surface lit up with simple golden patterns, and the boy lifted some kind of mysterious blockade of the box.

The moment the box was opened, Lu Mingfei clearly felt that the speed of time here seemed to have changed somewhat.

The most conspicuous thing is the hourglass device that stands in the center of four silver-white metal pillars and is always in an upside-down and flipping motion, through its visible transparent glass, you can peek into the fine sand inside the hourglass that keeps fluttering with the movement, and after the box is opened, each grain of fine sand lights up, giving people the feeling of floating in the hourglass

It is the stars of the universe that dance.

"'Xenochronous Clock', a time-tech relic from the Dark Tech Age;" He told Lu Mingfei and Old Tang about its origin and function, "After it is fully activated, the time that it divides into its own realm will be directly independent of the outside world and will increase at a high rate, and one and five terra years in the realm are equivalent to one day of normal time flow outside the realm."

Lu Mingfei immediately knew what this mysterious technological relic was going to do: to speed up the formation of the Sword of Revelation Legion!

From the efficiency of the human empire's Astarte army, it took nearly a hundred years from the formation of the order of the Council of Lords of Terragao to the Cult of the Mechanicus using a mortal farm to cultivate a thousand sets of Astartes (the number of people of a holy warband);

Except for special cases such as the Holy Blood Angel, the normal time required for the transformation operation of other Astarte warbands is five to ten years (from childhood), plus not thousands of people undergo surgery at the same time, the loss caused by the failure rate of surgery, and the weapons and equipment warships manufactured by the Mechanic God Casting World have not had time to be supplied (some warbands will have a special budget for the parent group, such as the Emperor's Scythe Wargroup when it was established, there were several casting worlds to supply equipment) and a series of complicated factors......

It would take at least two to three hundred years for an Astarte-sized warband to officially set sail to fight for the Emperor.

And today's sword of revelation wants genetic seeds without genetic seeds, equipment without equipment, casting the world without casting the world, and recruiting without recruits...... And it has to be a legion size of more than 10,000 people, and Lu Mingfei feels that the speed of this formation will be quite long.

However, they have none of the other Astarte warbands...... They have the will of His Majesty the Emperor to preside over the overall situation!

"Put the Xenoclock at the heart of the City of Wonders, and it will bring it directly into its realm."

The metal deformed and closed on its own, and the boy handed over the technological relic to Old Tang, while the alchemy sergeant carried the box and ran away to another place in the teleportation matrix. Just when Lu Mingfei was curious about what kind of magical scientific and technological relics were contained in the other metal box, he heard the boy change the topic:

"The technological relics just now are used for the legion building process, and you also have your own preparation process before you start the transformation operation."

"My preparation...... The process?" Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled.

"You need to supplement your knowledge and secrets of the more authentic history of the Human Empire, not just one-sided records and oral legends, including the details of the Great Horus Rebellion and the stories and secrets of the other seventeen founding groups and their genetic prototypes except for the Holy Blood Angels, the foundation of the establishment of the Empire's state religion, and the Grey Knights of Wargroup 666...... Wait."

"As the Lord of the Legion, you are nominally the exact equivalent of your father, Holy Celes, and you are entitled to access this sealed knowledge;" There was a little more helplessness on the boy's calm face, "And I don't want my new heir to be stupid and bullied by the Inquisition when I go back."
