The Kiliman in front of him had no red nose and no swollen eyes, and he didn't look any different from usual, except for a deep tiredness between his eyebrows. In contrast, Duanmu Huai looked refreshed and comfortable.

"Thanks to the Tribunal's assistance, I would like to thank you here."

"You're welcome, you look tired."

"No, I just......... Forget it, it's the Grand Inquisitor you look relaxed. ”

"Of course."

Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Your father came to me before, we had a big fight, I scolded him and ran away, naturally very comfortable."

"Uh..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, even if Killiman didn't know what to say for a while, he directly ignored the topic.

"I'm currently replanning the Ultramarines to meet the challenges ahead."

Erebus is only a vanguard, everyone knows this, in fact, Erebus's original role was only to launch a surprise attack on the Ultramarines in Coos, and it is best to succeed, not to succeed......... Don't forget, among the Imperial Legions, the number of Ultramarines is the first, and the second is the Whisperer. In addition, there are also legions such as the Son of Horus, the One of the World, and the Son of the Emperor to join, and the Ultramarines do not have an absolute advantage in the number of people on both sides.

Now the main force of the Wai Yan has not reached the Five Hundred Worlds, but it is only a matter of time before they invade the Five Hundred Worlds, so all Kiriman has to do now is to explode troops, explode troops, explode troops.

It's like a real-time strategy game, you know that the opponent is going to come in a wave of A's, so what you have to do is naturally send troops and strengthen the defense.

And Killiman approached Duanmu Huai in the hope that he could make some suggestions on this. After all, for now, the Inquisition is the most familiar with the subspace demons.

"What do you need to look out for?"

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

"That's very simple, Luo Jia has three Abyss-class warships under his command, and that's what you need to pay attention to the most."

"Abyss-level? Sorry, I've never heard of ........."

"Of course you haven't heard of it, this is the most terrifying warship built by Horus in the late stage of the Great Expedition, their defense is perfect, their firepower is fierce, and your railgun is afraid that even the opponent's skin can't be broken."

"So powerful?"

"Of course, you know the Mountain Formation, just think of the Abyss-level as a dark version of the Mountain Formation."

Hearing this, Kiliman understood in seconds that the Mountain Formation was the home of his good brother Dorne, how could he not know.

But wait...............

"Horus has rebelled, and the Cult of the Machine God is still following his orders?"

"How fresh."

Faced with Kiliman's question, Duanmu Huai scoffed.

"Both Genoplasm and Astarte have defected, what makes you think that Martian oil guys can still remain loyal?"

"So what do you mean......... Mars also mutinied?? ”

Duanmu Huai didn't speak, just spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

It's all in plain sight.

Kiliman's face became more and more serious, he now deeply felt that Horus's rebellion was not just a genetic prototype, a problem between Astarte and the emperor, on the contrary, this rebellion had extended to all aspects of the empire, every organization, every force, I am afraid that it would change because of this.

The Cult of the Machine God is no exception.

"It seems that the problem we face is very serious."

Killiman took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"I have one more question I'd like to ask the Inquisition for help, and now we know that Loga and his Bearers are already in the subspace......... The demons have made a pact of evil and uncleanness, but we don't know what to do with them. In fact, although we were very prepared on the ground, we still lost a lot of men when we were attacked by the Whisperers, and they ......... It is completely different from the combat methods of Astarte as we know them, and we need to study them thoroughly, find their weaknesses, and carry out targeted improvement attacks. But time is limited, and the Trial Chamber is experienced in this area, so ........."

"I see what you mean, Mr. Killiman."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then rolled his eyes.

"In that case, then I just have an idea."

"What thoughts?"

"I hope that you will be able to select a group of warriors who are loyal to the Empire and possess powerful psionic powers to train in the Inquisition, and who will have the weapons and armor that the Inquisition blesses, which will ensure that they will be able to protect their hearts and minds in the face of demons and the corruption of the subspace. They will be an indestructible shield in the face of incoming darkness, a blade forged in defiance of fate, and they will be the vanguard of judgment and purification of demons......... They will be a new existence, the Grey Knights. ”

That's right, this is Duanmu Huai's plan, originally the Gray Knight was thought of by the emperor after defeating Horus, but now he directly cut off his beard. Not only that, but he also planned to use the power of the Inquisition to restrain the other party——— and now the hoe of Duanmu Huai finally swung towards the corner of the emperor's wall.

Seeing that you are not pleasing to the eye, what is wrong with loosening the soil for you?

"I see."

Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that Killiman would hesitate, but he didn't expect him to give a very happy answer.

"Is it really okay? You know, purifying demons or anything goes against your so-called Imperial Truth. If you do this, be careful of being removed from the list like your two brothers. ”

"The Nikaia Conference is a mistake, we, no, the entire empire are already facing an unprecedented threat, and in this case we must study the enemy and look for ways to destroy them. The empire has changed completely......... I was able to see that this was not the end, but the beginning. Humanity has to find a way to survive it before talking about anything else. ”

"Well, since you said so, then I wouldn't object to it either."

Duanmu Huai was not surprised by Kiriman's answer, this is the reaction of a normal person with a normal IQ and a happy life without any psychological shadow since childhood. To put it mildly, in Killiman's heart, the most important thing he values is the Five Hundred Worlds, followed by the Empire. The reason is simple, Kiliman spent his childhood here, he has a deep affection for the people of this land and is willing to give everything for them.

Unlike other genetic protogens, they are either brainwashed, abused, or toyed with, and even want to blow their homes to pieces——— so the effects of childhood will indeed last a lifetime.

It's better to find a normal person than a psychotic with psychological trauma, and the biggest reason for Horus's defeat is that he has a bunch of narcissists, masochists, and sadists......... Basically, I can't find half a normal person.

This is also the reason why Chaos has always been unable to defeat the Human Empire, and a group of madmen still expect to rule the world?

"So how many people can you find?"

"Since the Nikaia Conference, all the Astarte Legions have disbanded the Think Tank, so I can't recruit many psionic warriors in a short period of time........."

Killiman frowned, took the data board, looked at the information on it, and then he looked up at Duanmu Locust.

"Is 5,000 enough?"

“………………………”

MMP, you're amazing, aren't you?

It is worthy of being the Smurf with the largest number of people in Astarte, and Nima's other warbands can take out one or two hundred people, but as a result, Kiliman will take out five thousand people, and he thinks it's too little, right?

"You have so many people, and the Inquisition doesn't have so many resources to rebuild armor and weapons."

There was only one fleet from the Inquisition, where were there so many manufacturing units.

"Coos' factory is open 24 hours a day, and as long as you give us the blueprints and materials for manufacturing, we can cast them in the shortest possible time."

“…………… Well, I'll leave it to you. ”

Damn, there are a lot of productive people with deep pockets, this is really awesome.

Duanmu Huai silently gave a thumbs up.

[Time: -40.35.16]

Luo Jia stood on the flagship's stargazing platform, staring at the subspace lightning flashing in the dome in front of her. Around the Lord of the Whisperers, his children were screaming, reveling, praying. But Loga didn't care about that, he just stared at the unpredictable subspace beyond the dome, and then closed his eyes.

"Erebus has failed, and the fire of his soul has been extinguished."

"That's how your arrogance ends, brother."

Standing beside Loga was a reddened cyclops, his skin redder than blood, and the bronze helmet he wore on his head made him look more like an ancient Roman gladiator.

"You invited me to come here and enjoy a victory, but what did I see? A complete defeat, blinded by their own hatred, what are you going to do now? ”

“…………………”

Faced with his brother's questioning, Luo Jia was silent for a while. Of course, he understood that this was a failure, as Erebas's plan was to use a planet as a sacrifice to set off a subspace storm that would sweep across the empire's borders, completely cutting off the connection between the various systems and Terra.

Of course, it doesn't have to be Couss, they can choose any planet. But they chose Cowes, for the simple reason that the Whisperer and the Ultramarines had a bitter enmity with the Ultramarines, and that the Ultramarines had destroyed the Perfect City of the Whisperers on the orders of the Emperor, which had left them with a knife in their hearts, and this hatred could only be washed away by blood. So they chose Cowes, using the Warlord's orders as bait, and the Whisperers tried to launch a surprise attack on Cowes, so that they could not only inflict heavy damage on the Ultramarines to take revenge, but also achieve their goals.

Originally, in Erebus's opinion, this was a move to kill two birds with one stone.

Now it's okay, the old hatred has not been settled, and a new hatred has been added.

Coos is the gateway to the Five Hundred Worlds, and if it has not fallen, it means that the Bearers will not be able to enter the Five Hundred Worlds as planned.

But...............

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small failure."

Loga shook her head.

"Everything is planned, Killiman can't stand up to the gods, and he will eventually understand what he's fighting against."

"What about the Inquisition."

The word that came out of the mouth of the one-eyed, red-skinned giant made Luo Jia's expression change slightly.

"They routed the Sixty-second Expeditionary Fleet and drove Horus mad, isn't that why you came here for me? Show your strength and draw me in, but now it seems that your plan and Horus's plan is not as smooth as you thought. ”

"Just a small offset, a small mistake."

Lorgar stared ahead, where the fleets of the Whisperers and the Whisperers were heading forward, with only one goal.

"I heard the whispers of the gods, and now, I'm going to deal with this mistake."

The storm of subspace turned into waves whizzing in front of the fleet, tearing through the frenzied air currents and energy, and Luo Jia turned his hands behind his back and looked ahead. He was waiting, thinking, praying.

And war is already at hand.
