SWNOVELXO Chapter 123: 222
Chapter 222 Arrival at Macragge
Enter Macragge.
The Ultramarines did not neglect the arrival of the Imperial Guard and the famous Grand Sage of the Mechanicus, and immediately sent troops to greet them.
In the core area of Ultramar, in the galaxy directly controlled by the Ultramarines, the wealthy Ultramarines have their own navy, which is as large as any fleet in the Empire.
Accompanied by the Thunderhawk gunships provided by the Ultramarines, everyone headed towards the landing site of Macragge.
However, the entire planet exudes a murderous aura, and the planet has entered a state of alert.
Transport ships were constantly traveling back and forth to the warships in orbit at a frequency far beyond normal levels, delivering various supplies.
When Gao Yi arrived, he also found that the Extreme Marines' warships had left the starport and were ready for battle. The fixed star fortresses and orbital defense platforms were also operating at full power.
Gao Yi looked through the glass of the cockpit at the home planet of the Ultramarines beneath his feet. The continuous towering buildings represented the richness of this world, while the fertile farmlands, magnificent natural landscapes, manufacturing centers, and industrial military complexes all existed in this world, demonstrating that Guilliman's descendants had also inherited his operational wisdom.
He really wants everything, including politics, economy, culture, and industry.
They have successfully allowed industry and ecology to coexist on this planet.
Macragge is supplied by a vast array of surrounding worlds.
Macragge is one of the only two planets Gao Yi has seen that can compare with Agathos under his current command.
The Primarch's home planet also allows it to enjoy the Empire's special tax exemption, which is one of the important reasons why it can develop so well.
The orthodox empire is in Ultramar, and the capital of the Second Empire is in Macragge. I think this joke is really not just talk.
It is estimated that it would be difficult to find a place in the entire empire that is more suitable for ordinary mortals to live than Ultramar.
If Gao Yi was really allowed to choose, he would not choose the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on Terra that was rumored to be worth an entire planet. If you are in the Terra volume, it will be difficult for you to make a breakthrough in your life, but in the Ultramar volume, you really have the possibility of achieving class transition.
The Ultramarines limited the number of members of their chapter according to the Templars Astartes compiled by the Gene-Father, which also resulted in the Ultramarines handing over much of the control of the 500 worlds to mortals, and the Ultramarines' control was limited to a few planets around Macragge.
However, the Ultramarines still maintain their influence within the 500 worlds. It can be said that every planet in Ultramar is a recruiting planet for the Ultramarines.
There are a large number of military academies on these planets that train reserve forces for the Ultramarines.
In the world under the direct control of the Ultramarines, the social operation of the entire planet is relatively stable, and the stable social environment also makes large-scale rebellions rarely occur on these planets.
The Ultramarines believe that mortals are worthy of protection and respect.
So people also believe in the Ultramarines, and believe that their lives will get better under the leadership of the Ultramarines. The habits of the Ultramarines also influence ordinary humans on these planets. They believe in the importance of honest work, and they believe that power should be handed over to capable people.
If a family has an Ultramarines, the family will regard it as an eternal honor, and the whole family will benefit from it. Many planets will even erect statues for those who successfully join the Ultramarines.
Countless families send their best offspring to the Ultramarines for assessment. Unlike many chapters' extremely high mortality and cruel selections, although the selection of the Ultramarines is also very dangerous, the chapter's pharmacists will still treat the injured and those with potential during the assessment, even if they fail the assessment.
After returning to the planet, they can still stand out from ordinary people with their own experience and previous learning. They can choose to become a squire of the regiment, or become a member of the glorious Otarama auxiliary army.
These losers are not not good enough, it's just that there are people who are better than them. Each person is the top scorer in liberal arts, science, and physical examinations on the planet.
A stable method of conscription and a stable gene seed have also become important factors in enabling the Extreme Marines to produce large numbers of troops.
As soon as Gao Yi walked out of Thunder Eagle, he saw the well-equipped Ultramar auxiliary troops near the landing site. Some of them were even almost as tall as Astartes. Gao Yi suspected that the Extreme Warriors would lower their requirements.
These people can also be transformed into the Smurfs of the Astartes Legion period. Not only are there 25w of them, but there will always be 25w of them. They are all confused by Horus, so why can't they be killed?
Blue sons and blue grandchildren, endless.
Gao Yi looked in front of him and saw an Astartes dressed as a think tank and two other veteran Ultramarines waiting for them not far away.
Gao Yi even saw laurel wreaths and the iconic visors on their bodies.
Their weapons are a huge and exquisite storm shield and a power sword.
"Shall I go... the Ultramarines' honorary stretcher-bearer team?"
Without these Smurfs called the Honor Guard, both Guilliman and the ICU God of War Calgar would have died long ago.
As for the think tank that could be protected by two honor guards, Gao Yi felt that he had guessed the identity of the other party.
The huge metal box containing the Armor of Destiny was also transported down from the Thunderhawk by Cawl.
It not only includes the artifact Armor of Destiny, but also a full set of wearable equipment.
"Lord Digris, it is really the Custodians."
The one who went to greet Gao Yi and others at this time was not Calga, but Digris, the director of the think tank of the Extreme Warriors.
Looking at the six imperial guards and the great sage Kaul in front of him, Digris's face was solemn.
"The Imperial Guards have come out of Terra? What exactly has happened in the Empire? The Archsage of the Adeptus Mechanicus and a Rogue Trader who is a Living Saint, what exactly do they want to do by suddenly visiting Macragge?"
Diglis pondered in his mind.
Combined with the recent cult unrest that has suddenly emerged in various parts of Ultramar and even on Macragge, Digris always has a bad feeling.
A huge Chaos fleet accompanied by alien pirates suddenly appeared near Ultramar and attacked some resource planets and small settlements.
They also discovered the identities of these invaders, and the name of the Red Corsairs made the Extreme Marines nervous.
They knew that the enemies invading Ultramar were not some unknown forces, but rather came from a massive Chaos warband.
The sudden attack almost broke through some planets with weak defenses.
Vashtor's Dark Mechanicus seemed a bit weak in the face of Gao Yi's priests, but when facing the Empire's conventional fleet, the Chaos Code can still play a powerful role.
Not to mention that this time Vashtor took action personally.
The Chaos Code he personally created was enough to disable the firepower systems and defense platforms of the Empire's warships.
Conventional means are almost impossible to counter.
This made the breakthrough of chaos seem like an unmanned area for a moment.
The emergence of the Renegade Astartes and the existence of this lesser evil god of the Warp forced the Ultramarines to mobilize the power of the chapter to protect these worlds.
The oaths the Ultramarines swore to these worlds prevented them from standing idly by.
The astropathic reports sent back from various places also let the Extreme Marines know that this invasion was unusual.
The report of Vashtor's appearance even prompted Calgar to leave Macragge and personally try to exile this lesser evil god
