"You will see the evidence," He prophesied.

Chapter 1032 Imperial Guard Thousand-Man Corps

"I have come here with the Emperor's decree to summon Robert Guilliman and the Imperial army to launch an expedition that will determine the fate of mankind."

As for the evidence

'Snapped! '

Jiang Bingxing walked to a cabin, snapped his fingers, and the sturdy cabin door opened automatically.

Behind the door was an incredibly spacious cabin.

A gate a hundred meters high stood in the center, from which a large number of Astronauts poured out and stood in silent ranks.

These are the elite troops of the Solar Defense Force, and behind them are a large number of mechanical priests queuing up to enter the portal.

If the military strength of the human empire were divided into ten parts, the military power of the solar system would account for at least forty percent of it.

A massive fleet, elite astral legions, and even dozens of Astartes chapters are stationed year-round in the heart of the Imperium of Man, all for the sake of protecting the safety of Holy Terra.

But now, Terra is occupied by an Emperor who is already at full power, and Mars is occupied by an Om Messiah who has been overpowered. To be honest, the solar system no longer needs their protection.

If these troops stay in the solar system, they will be protected by the Emperor and Jiang Bing.

Therefore, apart from the most basic stability maintenance and administrative personnel, the solar system fleet, consisting of the Jupiter fleet, the Saturn fleet, the Neptune and Pluto garrison fleets, and even the core Terra fleet, will all be transferred to outside the solar system in the coming period.

Meanwhile, the Mechanicus's Guardians, the various Titan legions, the Knight families, the Terra Defense Forces (the Sun Astral Army), the three Inquisitions, the Battle Sisters, and even the Grey Knights will all be mobilized in the coming days.

The emperor of Soha held nothing back, even sending out the imperial guards stationed in the palace.

And these super soldiers, whom he had nurtured as the core of humanity, finally reached the day when they could fully realize their value.

These all-around talents, who are proficient in combat, strategy, and warfare, and whose physiology and psychology have reached the pinnacle of humanity, possessing all the knowledge of human history, philosophy, science, art, and politics, are simply wasting their talents as a guard. Commanding troops and leading them into battle is the best way to unleash their full potential.

Old Man Huang handed over nearly 60% of the Imperial Guards to Jiang Bing, while Jiang Bing assigned a Thousand-Man Imperial Guard Regiment to the Limit Star Region.

They will serve as the core backbone of the Empire's inevitably growing military power in the coming period, laying a solid foundation for the Human Empire's 'Great Leap Forward' achieved by sacrificing the future.

Around the gate stood thousands of Golden Guards, their ranks neatly arranged, armed and guarding, as if awaiting Jiang Bing's inspection.

Upon witnessing the scene before him, the fourth company commander almost forgot to breathe for a moment.

He had never seen such a number of Imperial Guards outside of Holy Terra.

Former Imperial Guard Valerius emerged like a ghost from some corner, showing the loyal Fourth Company Commander the complete set of documents issued by the High Lords Council.

These ritualistic things are optional, and most people don't really believe in them anyway, but it's best to have them.

"Now that you have no more questions, go back and immediately reorganize the fleet. We need to set off for Macurag."

"Holy Om Messiah, what about the Tyranids ravaging this sector?" the Fourth Company Commander asked in astonishment.

If he leads the Extreme Chapter back, it will undoubtedly hand over this star system to the Zerg and Chaos, and trillions of humans in this star system will face the Zerg's blade.

"You'll find out," Jiang Bing gave a mysterious answer.

After confirming that the fourth company commander of this Ultra Warrior had accepted his identity as Om Messiah and would choose to cooperate, Boss Jiang didn't waste a second and directly transformed into a rainbow and disappeared in front of everyone.

He has so many things to do that even now he's finding it a bit overwhelming.

………………

Despite the great fame of Astartes, the foundation of the human empire was still made up of ordinary mortals.

Take, for example, the fourth Ultramarines company currently fighting the Tyranids at the 'Eastern Gate' of the Extreme Starfield. The entire Ultramarines company is equipped with one strike cruiser (flagship), three escort and reconnaissance ships, two fast attack ships for mobile strikes, and one armed transport ship for logistics and heavy equipment.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Navy in the Extreme Starfield dispatched a massive Imperial Navy fleet consisting of two battleships, five cruisers, and fourteen destroyers to assist in the operation.

In conjunction with this were 18 regiments of the Astral Army, totaling nearly 50 men.

This data does not include slave laborers, machine servants, religious guards, and other personnel.

The entire Ultramarines Fourth Company theoretically has only about 100 Ultramarines as its core fighting force. This is the number of personnel explicitly stipulated in the Astartes Codex and is a red line set by the Empire.

Therefore, the main force in this war, or rather, in most of the empire's wars, consisted of ordinary people.

However, just as Germany, which was not allowed to have an army after its defeat in World War II, still had millions of police and countless flying clubs, the various major battle groups of the Reich had policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom when it came to troop organization.

There are currently far more Ultra Warriors in the skies above Paramas than the Codex stipulates.

Robert Guilliman's Code of Astartes clearly defines the detailed organization of a battle chapter.

A battle group can have a maximum of ten companies, and each company can have a maximum of about 100 Astartes, thus limiting the number of people in each battle group to about 1000.

Battle groups exceeding the limit in number will need to be split up and reorganized into two new battle groups.

Robert Guilliman's initial idea was to use this system of aggregation to prevent another organized Astartes rebellion, but most Astartes were unwilling to accept such a policy.

As a result, the various battle groups began to use their unique abilities to fight the epidemic.

The Dark Angels split into multiple "Successor Chapters," but the Dark Angels mother chapter retained most of the precious relics, advanced technology equipment, and the giant fortress monastery "The Stone" from the Legion era. At the same time, the relationship between the Dark Angels and the sub-chambers is more like that of "headquarters" and "branch," rather than the equal brother chapters advocated by the Astartes Codex.

In this way, the various split-up battle groups remain closely united under the banner of the parent group, so that it seems as if they have not been split up at all.

Space Wolf, leveraging its unique political and historical position, directly refused to be split up.

The specific method involved Wolf King Leman Russ directly reneging on the agreement when the holy code was promulgated.

Because the Space Wolves suffered heavy losses in the Siege of Terra, their forces were already below the standard size of the Legion stipulated in the Codex. Therefore, Wolf King Leman Nus directly claimed that he was now "a large chapter" rather than a Legion that needed to be split up, and that there was no need to change the structure. He chose to actively refuse to accept or violate the strategy and shamelessly retained the original Legion structure.

When questioned about the subsequent court proceedings, Wolf King and Space Wolf continued to simply listen and make excuses when asked to admit their mistakes, but they resolutely refused to change their shameless strategy. To this day, they have not broken up the battle group and have maintained the original structure of 12 "Dalian" groups.

The Black Templar exploited a clause in the holy code that stated, "If a battle has already begun, the splitting process should be postponed depending on the actual situation," and directly exploited this bug.

Since the Black Sanctuary did not have a fixed homeworld, it directly formed dozens of "expeditionary fleets" of varying sizes and launched an eternal expedition that would last for ten thousand years in the galaxy.

Even the most rule-abiding Imperial Fist has its own set of countermeasures.

Although they strictly followed the instructions of the Holy Scripture to carry out the split, Roger Dorn had clearly established an emergency response mechanism before his disappearance, stipulating that the Descendant Chapter could secretly reorganize the Legion in extreme circumstances.

What's most intriguing is which Astartes chapter is the most brazen in "exploiting loopholes" among all the chapters?

That's right, that's the famous Ultra Warrior!

Chapter 1033 Spectacularity Does Not Neglect the Country

Even after the 'Hammer of Wrath' striker leaped out of the warp, Charon Victor, the second company commander of the Novamarien Regiment, still felt somewhat incredulous.

Throughout his long service, he had undertaken numerous subspace voyages, but none had ever been as successful as this one.

According to the navigator, who kept kowtowing like a chicken running through rice, the ecology of the warp has undergone a dramatic change. The treacherous and vicious warp entities of the past now avoid the Empire's main warp routes like the plague.

As for the reason...

The reason the navigator gave with a devout expression was unforgettable for him.

"The great emperor has spread his light across the vast ocean; he is so benevolent and loving, his gaze is upon our prayers, and his power protects all the people of the empire."

As he said these words, the golden light in the navigator's third eye on his forehead almost overflowed.

As a Muggle, Charon Victor naturally couldn't fully grasp the true state of the warp, but he did find evidence to support his claims.

This subspace voyage was free of inexplicable murmurs, cold, darkness, stickiness, or any other unusual sensations; the entire journey was simply smooth and pleasant.

Despite the relatively dark visibility inside the cabin due to subspace navigation restrictions, the overall atmosphere of the ship felt strangely bright to him.

His feeling was correct. The Emperor was indeed "watching over" the entire human empire from within the Star Torch. Not to mention, all the empire's major warp channels were on his first "warning" list. Any entity that dared to approach would be met with a barrage of bombardment from the Emperor's "rocket cannons".

In the current state of the Warp, no one dares to challenge the Emperor in his 'Demon Disintegration' state, not even Tzeentch.

Charon Victor leaped out of the channel with a sense of awe and astonishment, along with contemplation and a vague sense of unease, thinking that everything would return to normal. However, he soon witnessed a scene that left him almost speechless.

The 'Hammer of Wrath' was ordered to support the 4th Company of the Ultramarines Mother Company, with its main mission being to assist the enemy in defending the 'Eastern Gate' of the Ultramarines.

He had been to Paramas before, but it wasn't like this.

A massive satellite suddenly appeared in the enormous orbit of Paramas, constantly orbiting it.

The 'Hammer of Wrath' continued to move forward, and the suddenly appearing satellite soon revealed its true form.

This is a massive steel fortress, on the scale of a satellite.

In the space age, on an astronomical scale, there are very few 'military fortresses' that can truly be called fortresses.

But Charon Victor was now standing before a genuine 'steel fortress'.

Charon Victor had the privilege of witnessing the Ork's Battle Moon. These crazed green-skinned orcs, when their numbers gathered to a certain extent and their stance became active to a certain threshold, would inexplicably construct such planetary-level weapons.

They would transform mountains directly into weapons, hollow out an asteroid, and then modify and arm it into an enormous combat moon.

But those massive and ferocious weapons of war were not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the steel fortress in front of them.

There were no rocks or soil; the entire fortress was made entirely of metal. There were no haphazardly piled-up armor pieces, yet the massive fortress was remarkably 'exquisite'.

While he was still in a daze, 'Hammer of Wrath' had already completed identity verification and followed the instructions to dock at 'Iron Fortress'.

When the Hammer of Wrath truly drew near, Charon Vick was astonished at just how enormous it was.

The 'Hammer of Wrath' Moon-class cruiser is the Imperial standard heavy cruiser, approximately 5 kilometers in length, equipped with both light spears and large cannons, and is the most common type of capital warship in the Empire.

But compared to the magnificent steel fortress, it is like the difference between a sesame seed and a watermelon.

"Chief Oracle, have the data for this space fortress been measured yet?"

"Of course, sir."

With an incredulous expression, Bird Diviner reported, "According to the data from the reconnaissance array scan, the radius of this giant fortress in front of us is 600 kilometers."

The bridge fell silent as everyone stared in awe at this 'astronomical spectacle'.

It's worth noting that the Moon, the companion satellite of Holy Terra, has a radius of only 1738 kilometers.

The fortress was so enormous that when the Hammer of Wrath approached, it was caught by the gravity of its massive weight and had to activate its engines to correct its course.

Unlike typical spaceports built in orbit around planets, the 'Hammer of Wrath' sailed directly into the inner 'port' through a gate as majestic as a mountain.

Charon Victor was still dizzy even after disembarking.

But what happened next surprised him even more.

The handover process went very smoothly. The Novamalian Chapter itself is the "standard template" of Ultramarines. The Astartes of this chapter are highly consistent with the parent chapter in terms of chapter culture, combat style, equipment system, and personnel structure.

Therefore, their integration was quick and harmonious.

Command was smoothly handed over. After handing over command, Second Company Commander Charon Victor thought he would immediately receive orders to go to a nearby planet to intervene in the battle. However, he did not expect that Fourth Company Commander Astas Seto's order was for his entire company to go through the basic 'equipment and resupply' process before coming to him to serve the Emperor and Om Messiah.

Their purpose in coming here was to provide support, and since there had been no battles along the way, their logistical supplies were naturally plentiful.

To support the parent company, the battle group commander specially allocated two more Stormhawk gunboats and four Land Raiders, plus several Terminator armored vehicles, to the Second Company before they set off. They were armed to the teeth, so there was no need for 'supplies' at all.

However, the fourth company commander, who was known for his efficiency, unusually kept him in suspense this time, only instructing him to do as he was told.

Therefore, Charon Victor had no choice but to comply with the order.

But soon, strange things began to happen one after another.

The mechanical priests who came to take over the maintenance of the warship changed his rigid impression of these mechanical workers. There were no bulky modified mechanical parts, no floating servo skulls. The mechanical priests changed their previous 'inhuman' appearance and all looked 'human'. Even if they had limb modifications, they tried to be as close to human form as possible.

This puzzled Charon greatly.

During the handover of the ship for maintenance, there were no complicated and tedious prayers, no mystical cryptic pronouncements, and no rigid, inflexible procedures. The responsible mechanical priest communicated with exceptional simplicity and efficiency, without any unnecessary delays, which left the second company commander somewhat unaccustomed to.

These mechanical priests, who are not usually very human, have surprisingly started acting like human beings.

The reason for the current situation is quite simple.

The superiors set an example for the subordinates.

Jiang Bing, this Om Messiah descended to earth, frantically performing 'miracles,' and the mechanical priests below him naturally flocked to him in a frenzy.

While studying Jiang Bingchuan's "Theory of Machine Soul" and other knowledge, they also spontaneously imitated his way of doing things, his outward appearance, and his aesthetic style...

After all, they had undergone numerous transformations in the past in order to bring themselves closer to the divine Om Messiah. Now, this 'god of all machines' has descended to earth, and the homework is laid out before them. If they can't even understand how to copy it, they really shouldn't be playing around.

Chapter 1034 Liberating Productive Forces

Charon heard the most about the descent of Om Messiah the whole way.

An atmosphere of fervent religious worship permeated the entire 'Steel Fortress'.

However, there was still a thick barrier between him and the ship. He was not a priest of the Cult of Mechanisms, and he had just disembarked. He had not experienced the miraculous scene of Jiang Bing hand-crafting the 'Iron Fortress' a few days ago, so his experience was not truly real.
