Guilliman looked around at these people and smiled as well.
The Great Rift tore apart the entire galaxy, and humanity also faced the most terrifying dark invasion.
Monsters and demons from the ancient night continue to emerge and wreak havoc on the human world.
Humanity's fear, anxiety and despair echo throughout the Warp.
Humanity is heading towards destruction, and the empire is dying and about to collapse.
It was these people who maintained the final existence of the empire.
At this time when bureaucracy is corrupt and people are confused and fearful, they stepped forward and took up the responsibility of protecting humanity.
“I’m glad that we can gather here.”
The Primarch's voice did not require any amplification device and could be heard in every corner of the hall by all commanders.
"Our race is facing an unprecedented disaster. The fall of Cadia Fortress is only the beginning. Unprecedented darkness is gathering. Humanity is only one step away from extinction. The Great Rift has torn the entire galaxy apart, and countless planets are in deep disaster. Our responsibilities are extremely important, especially at this moment, everyone."
"In order to save the empire and to save humanity from destruction, reform is imminent. The reform in the Ultramar star field has won us the support of the people and also enabled us to obtain more troops and materials, which has proved the necessity of reform."
"But there will always be people who covet the power in their hands, try to resist change, and put their own interests above the interests of the empire and the race. By then, the pressure you face will be unprecedentedly heavy, and the Chaos Gods will not let us succeed so easily. They will deceive you and lead you down the wrong path. I just want to advise you here that when you are confused, you need to calm down and ask yourself why you are fighting in your heart."
"Is it for the honor of being praised by others? Is it for the cheers of victory? Or is it to protect my people, to protect the glory of my father, and to fulfill his unfulfilled great dream?"
Guilliman was silent for a moment, then skillfully paused for a moment to arouse people's emotions before continuing.
"No matter what the reason is, you embarked on this path. This time, I hope you will fight for humanity, for the Holy Empire, and to protect the glory of my father and fulfill the great dream that has never been completed."
"I, Imperial Regent, Lord of Ultramar, am with you."
As Guilliman spoke his last words, the crowd cheered loudly.
The thunderous shouts of the Space Marines also merged into the sound of the rustling loudspeakers.
The Primarch's speech stirred people's emotions and made them excited.
In the following meeting, Guilliman briefly explained the mission.
Promote the reforms currently underway in Ultramar and reshape the political and economic environment of the Empire.
The most important point is to conquer the alien forces of Charadon.
Charadon is currently a mixed force of humans, undead, and orcs, and small-scale conflicts have continued for years.
If the threat can be completely eliminated, the Charadon sector will become a powerful aid to the expedition.
A huge holographic projection was suspended above the heads of many participants.
The projection listed in detail the various star systems in the Charadon sector, the Imperial Army, the merchant families, and the garrisoned warbands.
Guilliman assigned tasks to everyone so that they could kill with one blow and completely end the alien forces in the Charadon sector.
The War Council did not last long.
The main purpose of convening this meeting was not to discuss, but just to encourage these imperial loyalists.
As for the planning of the battle, Guilliman had already conducted many simulated confrontations with the help of Sicarius, Fikris, Amarich and others.
With the help of the Primaris Space Marines, it is not difficult to win this war.
When the meeting was over, Guilliman asked Amalric, Celestine and Clovis to stay.
The strengths of these three people are not in fighting against aliens.
Guilliman had no intention of involving them in the battle for the Charadon Sector.
To keep his plans secret and to say things that might sound disrespectful.
Guilliman dismissed everyone and left the three of them alone to talk.
This made Celestine and others confused.
What kind of mission would make a Primarch so cautious
"I have a brand new mission for you." Guilliman said in a deep voice, looking at the three people who were left behind with confused expressions.
"What is it, sir?" Amaritch looked at the Primarch in confusion.
"We have made some progress, but greater danger is approaching. You should all know that the light of the Emperor's Astronomican can no longer cross the Great Rift to illuminate the Dark Realm of the Empire?" Guilliman looked at the three people, "Without the Emperor's Astronomican, human space travel has become more difficult, and it is also extremely dangerous for each chapter. My rebellious brother is also in the Dark Realm, trying to establish his twisted psychic empire."
The three of them nodded.
The news Clovis brought was not top secret, and they were all qualified to know it.
"We cannot be led by the enemy, but that doesn't mean we do nothing." Guilliman looked at the three people, his eyes blurred for a moment, and then he continued, "I need you to help me defend a place."
"Where, my Lord?" Celestine asked.
"Pharos, there lies our hope of reclaiming the Dark Realm and defeating Magnus."
Guilliman stretched out his hand, and a holographic projection appeared in the air as he moved.
A green planet was outlined in the projection, rotating slowly.
Judging from the data, this is a colonial world with a low level of development.
"What's here?" Amaritch asked in confusion.
Guilliman pondered for a moment, and finally decided to be honest.
"Here is a device similar to a lighthouse. It can help us complete our navigation in the subspace."
"This isn't human technology, is it?" Clovis asked solemnly.
"This is a xenos technology. I used it ten thousand years ago. At that time, the situation in the galaxy was even worse than it is now. The gods set off terrible warp storms, trying to make humans their slaves and playthings. My father took on the responsibility of fighting against the gods."
"When the light of the Astronomican faded, I activated this mysterious technological device, which helped me connect with Sanguinius and Lion, so that we could face the shocking rebellion together."
Guilliman has hidden some information.
The existence of the Second Empire is not suitable for telling.
The Second Empire was established simply to take into account the possibility that the Emperor would be killed by Horus.
He must prepare humanity to continue the fight against Horus.
Others would not see it that way, they would feel that they were trying to replace the Emperor.
"A new research team has set out. They will analyze the technological devices on Pharos, absorb their principles and apply them. In this way, we can provide some help to the Imperial Dark Domain and help them build some lighthouses so that the Imperial fleet can escape the warp storm."
"Using alien technology?" Clovis looked solemn.
"We have no choice, and we cannot simply think that this is alien technology. Knowledge does not belong to just one person. It's just that the aliens were the first to use this knowledge. Are we going to give up? For some unnecessary persistence, let the people of the empire suffer?"
"The one most likely to stop us from applying these technologies is Chaos, and you are all the strongest beings against Chaos. Therefore, I need your help to protect Pharos until the research team obtains enough data to fully understand and replicate the alien technologies."
Guilliman looked at Clovis, who still had a look of hesitation on his face.
"And to defeat Magnus, Clovis. Without the Pharos' beacon technology, how can we stop Magnus? The warp storm alone can kill half of the Imperial army."
After hearing Magnus and thinking about the other party's crazy plan, Clovis finally nodded.
"Very good, it's decided. Let's prepare to set off."
Guilliman smiled.
... ... ... ... ... ...
Three days later, the imperial army assembled in the Konor galaxy was divided into several teams.
For the Battle of Charadon, the Primarch assigned them different tasks.
Celestine, Amaritch, and Clovis also headed to the planet Pharos with their own secret missions.
