The silence in the command room continued, as did the heated discussions that often rang out in the room.

Anyway... During these times, the Fourth and Twelfth Legions were indeed caught up in each other's busyness.

Under the allocation of resources under the high-intensity computing power of the two genetic prototypes, almost no small units are wasted, and even the maintenance time of the machine servants is compressed to the limit.

These two legions, which seem to be good at fighting and slaughtering, both show the essence of each other's strengths at this moment.

In every outpost world, you can see the Iron Warriors building fortresses, and the Children of the Mountains rushing back and forth to the logistical strongholds.

The two Incredibles have accelerated the construction of the usually lengthy outpost to less than a few days, and countless cannon arrays and void shields have been placed with the support of the forged world of the Mechanical Pagan.

Every time they leave a world, it means that countless impregnable fortresses are built.

During this time, the Iron Warriors' highly tolerant genetic seeds, aided by the medical equipment of the Children of the Mountains, even recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers—although they were usually able to collect such a level of troops in a relatively rich world, it was not an unimaginable miracle in such a barren sector.

Of course, if a space pirate doesn't have a long eye, the Astartes don't mind prying open their skulls with sapper shovels and scalpels.

"I always thought that work was brisk."

Looking at the document in her hand that had been corrected with a large number of revisions, Elaine grumbled a little tiredly.

Ever since her steely brother came to help her work, she hadn't had a moment to spare.

"Now... I saw a mountain of papers, can you explain that? Brother. ”

Elaine sighed.

The day-to-day corrections took up most of her time and energy, and if it weren't for Perturabo's far more efficient work than herself, she wouldn't even know if the brother was here to help or to make trouble.

- even reminded Elaine a little of the bitter life of social animals in his previous life.

Especially Peturabo, which seems to be the tricky and strict of Party A's boss.

And after hearing Elaine's complaints, the Iron Lord just snorted coldly.

“… Hum. Efficiency is an attitude, and you are lacking. ”

Perturabo had been familiar with Elaine's cumbersome and wasteful planning habits during this time.

"I have seen too many people who have been gifted and wasted, who have been blinded by a little glory in their pitiful and short lives, and who have no idea that there are even greater mountains to climb ahead."

Perturabo's indifferent words revealed a little of the elder's leeway, and he casually uploaded hundreds of bills that needed to be revised, not caring at all how much work this would add to his sister's workload.

In his eyes... Elaine has a talent that is very similar to her own, and her personality is by no means the obnoxious stiffness of Dorne, unlike the pride of Magnus who is only satisfied with what she has achieved in front of her, and unlike the mediocrity of Killiman, whose weakness is evident beneath the surface.

And this sister who needs to grow up urgently... The fact that she had participated in the Great Expedition for the first time since her return was also seen by Perturabo.

It was clear that her devotion to her father's great work needed no emphasis, and Horus had spoken to him about the goodness of this new compatriot.

"You still have to get rid of unnecessary habits and weaknesses – only then will the real steel be forged."

Despite his strict words, Perturabo has made it his duty to teach Elaine in his heart.

After all, she needs to be as good as herself, and only then can she carry the corresponding responsibilities in the Great Expedition.

Therefore, Perturabo has always fulfilled the teaching duties entrusted to him by his father—to bring his sister, who is not yet familiar with the importance of the efficiency of the Great Expedition, on the right path.

At the very least, don't waste that precious computing power and talent on mercy for your offspring.

"Yes, yes, it's that set of 'waste'... I never felt like I was wasting anything, that's what I'm good at. ”

"Brother, not everyone is like you."

Elaine had a slight headache for the rigid-minded Iron Lord.

Although in the eyes of Perturabo this teaching, which is like a stern elder brother, has a deep meaning... But in the eyes of outsiders.

Can I only say, a little 'blunt'?

Although she knew that the complex and awkward heart of this hammer of Olympia stored some softness that others could not know, but from the cold and harsh behavior of Perturabo... It's just too hard to understand.

Topics that can be solved simply by calming down and talking about them, Peturabo is trying to solve them with a fierce and sharp debate.

And in his unruly and indifferent words, there are even more stereotypical views that make people have high blood pressure all the time.

Since he is like this, he has no choice but to obey.

That's what Elaine thinks anyway.

But fortunately, Peturabo's ability to work is unquestionable, and the infrastructure and defense problems that were a headache for her were immediately improved after the arrival of the Iron Warriors, except for being harassed by a strict brother every day... There are no other problems.

"You're still too naïve, Elaine. While this battle will be easily won by your talent, you'll also have to think about the grand expedition you'll face next - not every battlefield will be supported by Iron Warriors, so the building materials part of your [Σ-179 Plan]..."

“… Yes, yes, I see. I'll take care of it right away, brother. ”

Elaine stretched her plump body a little lazily, selectively ignoring the serious teachings that Perturabo had begun to talk about again, and redirected her energy to the task at hand.

At some point, in the discussion between the two, the smell of gunpowder and tension have gradually dissipated.

Because the original body guards had long since left the command room, Elaine no longer had to maintain her majesty as a mother in front of her children, and she was more relaxed and natural when facing Perturabo.

And Perturabo also devoted part of his energy to teaching this fellow protodi, in accordance with what he considered 'the duties of his father to be his brother'.

Of course, regarding the departure of the original body guards, Perturabo certainly didn't care about the confusion of his heirs, and the person who made this order and proposal was naturally Elaine, who took care of his own heirs.

Although she misses the lightness of working alone, there is a story about this delicate and extremely awkward brother... Elaine naturally still takes it relatively seriously.

Elaine's pale golden eyes swept slightly over Perturabo's grim face.

At this moment, his tragedy has not yet begun.

The opportunity to change the future is not yet gone.
