[After the Fall]

As early as the eve of the rebellion, Fogrem arrived in Nostramona with a purpose, and even as early as the beginning of Fujimaru Rika's collaborative research with Roger Dorn, she may have foreseen the rebellion.

No one knew exactly when she had begun her plans for this, not even the sons closest to her among the Midnight Lords. But after the fall of the Primordial and the ignition of the entire galaxy by the flames of rebellion, they realized that many of the decisions and orders that the Primordials had made and executed on the whims of the Primordials had shown their usefulness in this chaotic and desperate era.

For example, the subspace navigation technology that Rika Fujimaru tried to develop in cooperation with Roger Dorn was exposed to the eyes of the rebels - in fact, the corresponding navigator "Paper Moon" had already been tested and successfully put into production in the Casting World Ulan Huda, and was installed in the navigation rooms of most Midnight Lord flagships as an auxiliary device that could increase the safety and accuracy of navigators when observing subspace.

Rika Fujimaru and Roger Dorn engaged in further collaborative research only because the device involved psionic components that could not be ignored in the process of achieving its functions, and the original body hoped that in the future it would be able to function in a way that was completely in line with the truth of the Empire. Even though they hadn't succeeded in completing this step at the beginning of the rebellion, the popularity of the original "Paper Moon" navigation device among the Midnight Lord Legion kept the Legion from being completely lost in the subspace waves set off by the rebels.

Before the first blast of the evil guns in the Istavan system, with the exception of some legionnaires who were Nao-subordai of the Primordials, the vast majority of the Midnight Lords had been scattered throughout the Empire under the pretext that Rika Fujimaru was "at the invitation of other Primordials to inspect the stability of the world in the Empire under their rule", and a small number were stationed in the primordial home planet of Nostramo to complete the finishing work of counterinsurgency and oversee the establishment of a new government.

As a result, the ships of the Eighth Legion are scattered around the shipping route between the Istavan system and Holy Terra. As for the rebels, Rika Fujimaru explained to them that this was a pre-arrangement that would allow them to quickly control the Imperial world that they needed to pass through and ensure the smooth flow of shipping routes after the war broke out. In fact, as soon as the Midnight Lord approached those worlds without suspicion, he quickly strengthened the local defenses and laid out the corresponding countermeasures: the "Rengominiade" defensive fortress.

At the time of the Great Expedition, this kind of defensive fortress, which could be dropped directly onto the surface by ships and quickly deployed, did not even seem to have much to praise about it, except for the small footprint and scale of the buildings required. Anyone with even a modicum of engineering knowledge can see that there are so many redundant parts in its internal structure that it is far inferior to its counterparts in terms of defense, firepower, and even internal space. Many other primordial bodies have suggested improvements to this kind of battlefield fortifications after seeing them, and Fujimaru Ritsuka accepted these suggestions, but only used them to redesign more reasonable portable fortifications, and still ordered Ulan Huda to mass produce this seemingly useless device.

It was not until the beginning of the Horus Rebellion that the rebels obtained evil from the subspace from the contemptible Chaos Gods that they realized for the first time that the main function of this "defensive fortress" was to stabilize the curtain of reality and defend against invasions from subspace. Within the invisible energy defense circle that this kind of fortress can form, any ritual evil spell, and even the spiritual energy of ordinary think tanks, will be greatly limited, as if this fortress is some kind of embodiment of "imperial truth". But what is very peculiar is that, perhaps due to the backdoor left by Fujimaru Rika herself, the Ortenus warrior can still exert his subspace power unhindered under the cover of the defensive fortress of "Rengominiade".

Whenever the Midnight Lord successfully projects the "Rengominiade" defensive fortress onto the surface and leads his loyal cousins to attack on such fortifications, the evil blessings possessed by the rebels will immediately fade, the subspace entities that exist in all forms will invariably scream and retreat, and the evil ritual or spell effects will be blocked from the fortress's unorthodox defensive circle. With both sides equally Astarte, more disciplined and convicted loyalists tend to achieve greater success, which can be quite tricky for the rebels - not to mention the fact that Ferus Manus, who escaped from the cover of the Midnight Lord in Istavan V., is leading the Iron Hand Legion and some of the Midnight Lords in a fierce battle with the rebels in a frontal battle with a fiery rage, making it almost impossible for the Warlord's team to advance even a single step in the direction of Holy Terra.

One of Horus's efforts to solve this problem was to send Perturabo and his Iron Warriors to attempt to capture the only forged world capable of making such a heretical fortress fortification, Ulan Huda. When the Iron Lord and his troops arrived in the target system, they found that the Foundry World had long since been emptied, leaving only meaningless forges that had been sealed or destroyed because they could not be removed, as well as buildings and warehouses that were not only empty, but also destroyed to the point that they could barely be recycled. At this time, the entire planet, the Mechonkorder, or Techno-Heretics, had already been relocated to the Nostramo system as a whole, along with all production equipment and instruments, in accordance with the requirements of the Midnight Treaty, and the Midnight Lord Legion would provide them with protection as long as they were able to resume production as soon as possible.

Perturabo led the Legion to Nostramo's system, where the defenses of the galaxy's periphery had become impregnable thanks to the cooperation of the Legion and the Forge World. But for the Iron Warrior's primordial body, there is no defense that he absolutely cannot breach. The Fourth Legion spent a lot of money in the void, trying to gradually break through the defenses while eating away at the Eighth Legion's already small garrison on the original home planet.

But what no one expected was that when Fujimaru Rika was preparing to leave Nostramo in the early stage of the rebellion, he had already assigned a company commander, Yago Sevitalyon, to personally supervise the new round of legion recruitment after the rebellion on the home planet was put down. At the time of Perturabo's attack, some 100,000 recruits were ready to take on the rebels – a number that was even increasing as the number of modifications progressed.

Eventually, in the Ghoul Sector on the edge of the galaxy, in the Supposedly unnoticed Nostramo system, a bitter war of attrition broke out between the Iron Warriors and the Midnight Lords that lasted for five years. The Iron Warrior side is undoubtedly more superior in terms of soldier quality, weapons and equipment, strategy and tactics, and there is also the original body in charge; The Midnight Lords, on the other hand, managed to rely on their familiarity with the battlefield to carry out a large number of long-term and continuous attacks on the enemy, as well as occasional surprises and devastating blows to important facilities, and thus survived the bloody battle. It wasn't until five years after the start of the war that Leon El Johnson, who had rushed to hear the news, led the army of dark angels to come to support, and Perturabo, who had been "falling short" in front of the long-standing Nostramo, knew that he could not compete with the latter with his current forces, so he left in a huff.

After this battle, Nostramo was in ruins, and the Eighth Legion, which had been greatly damaged in the war of attrition, even if it could immediately replenish its troops with its back to its home planet, fell into the dilemma of incomplete formation. However, instead of accepting the First Primitive's suggestion to "stay where they are while gradually reinforcing their forces to restore the formation", the commander of the Midnight Lord's First Company, Yago Sevitalyon, succeeded in convincing them to join the First Legion in leading the remaining remnants of the Midnight Lords to take Holy Terra to support the most important war that would soon determine the fate of humanity.

Some settings that can't be plugged in:

Huang Laohan opened this illusion not only to be used as fuel to resurrect Coetzes, but also to adapt Gollum to the Empire's psionic environment and technology tree as soon as possible (in terms of time in the real universe), and to try to reproduce some lunar magic with Imperial technology in this fully realistic fantasy. The technical prototypes of the Chaldean Lighthouse were all made by her (borrowed from Coz's original brain) in the illusion, and many of them are deteriorated versions compared to the original version of the moon, and then they need to be taken over by iron hands to continue to optimize.

By the way, the original actor in the fantasy realm is indeed only an angel, and he was stuffed by Huang Laohan to re-experience the Great Expedition because his soul was broken and he couldn't remember a lot of things. Iron Hand did often collect a wave of Gollum's papers on his own account after passing through Yi 5 in the fantasy world, but he just came to collect the papers, not acting, and Gollum also knew that he did it from the beginning, so he is not an actor (but there are indeed quite a lot of canned actors).

As for the one that whispered to the heir in a non-psionic way, it was actually the application of the base contract. The private setting is theoretically possible for every primordial as long as they are willing to work hard (Coz is almost done in this article), but this thing is like walking with your hands after a handstand, okay, it's okay, but it's really weird to do it just like that, so others haven't taken the initiative to think about it, and of course they haven't tried it, only Gollum, the moon man, thinks "I use the contract to talk to the contract object isn't it a matter of course", so he successfully developed this ability.
