"What did you say? I must marry an Eldar prophet? Why didn't anyone tell me this in advance?" Robert Guilliman was caught off guard by the news that he was getting married. He even asked Morven angrily.
Val and Trajan: "What is going on? Do the conservatives on Holy Terra want to use this to influence my reforms and this war?"
For Robert Guilliman, the first feeling this incident gave him was that those conservatives intended to interfere with his governance and reform of the empire in this way.
As for whether this matter could affect the war, Robert Guilliman didn't have much idea.
If his personal political marriage can provide humanity with a reliable reinforcement force to reinforce the battlefield, then Robert Guilliman does not care about personal marital relationships and emotional issues.
After all, no matter which primarch has been single for ten thousand years, no one except Fulgrim, the demon prince of Slaanesh, has even had any contact with men and women.
However, there is no doubt that the impression left by the Eldar on humans is that of a capricious alien race with no credibility at all. They may be fighting side by side one moment, but choose to stab in the back the next.
This kind of thing has happened countless times to humans. Even within the empire, there are still people who think that the Eldar are valuable allies, but in the general direction of the entire empire, the Eldar are still marked.
Unreliable tags.
And from the perspective of Robert Guilliman, marrying such a capricious alien race, allowing the Primarch and Archon of the Human Empire to marry an Eldar prophet, can be regarded as a
A humiliation.
However, Marshal Trajan gave Guilliman an unexpected answer: "This is an order from His Majesty the Emperor himself, one of the three Necron Saints who awakened you and resurrected Sanguinius.
The Saint and His Majesty the Emperor reached an agreement, the specific contents of which I have no right to know.
But one of them is that Robert Guilliman, as the Archon of the Empire, Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds of Macragge, and the Primarch of the Ultramarines, needs to meet with the leader of the Eldar Death Army, the Eldar God of Death, the Chosen One of Yenid, the Eldar God of Death.
The race prophet Evereni entered into a marriage relationship and became husband and wife in exchange for the alliance between the Death Army and the Ark Eldar to the Human Empire."
As the Marshal of the Forbidden Army said, he also took a treasured scroll in a box made of pure gold from a clerical nun who had been following him, and handed it to Robert Geary.
Man's hand: "This marriage has been confirmed by His Majesty the Emperor. This is an imperial order written by His Majesty the Emperor. Your Highness the Consul, you can confirm it."
Robert Guilliman was stunned when he received the scroll. He did not expect that this would be an order from the Emperor himself.
The Lord of the Ultramarines did not doubt the authenticity of the edict in his hand, because the Emperor's own psychic powers could not be faked, and he did not believe that the conservatives on Holy Terra could allow the Advocate Marshal to join them in forging the Emperor.
Imperial order.
Especially since there is a Supreme Superior of the Imperial Sisters nearby. If someone forges the Emperor's order, it would be tantamount to blasphemy for this nun who believes in the Emperor as a god.
As long as Robert Guilliman can prove that the Royal Order is forged, the High Lord will stand unequivocally on his side.
At this point Roboute Guilliman had no doubts about Morwen Var's loyalty and steadfastness of faith.
But this only deepened the doubts of the Lord of the Ultramarines, because this was really unbelievable. According to his knowledge and understanding of the Emperor, the Lord of Humanity was a complete human supremacist, and no alien could
Getting preferential treatment from him, let alone allowing a Primarch to marry an alien.
Even though Robert Guilliman clearly knew that in the Emperor's mind, both he and the other Primarchs were just tools to save humanity, tools specially created to carry out the Great Crusade and manage the Empire, he still could not understand it.
Why did the Emperor want him to marry an alien?
However, it was obvious that the Emperor was still the same as in the past, neither wanting to explain why he did this nor letting Guilliman understand the meaning of doing so.
After seeing that Robert Guilliman accepted the imperial decree and did not question the authenticity of the imperial decree, Trajan continued: "According to the resolution of the High Lords Council, your wedding, Your Highness the Archon, will be held in the near future.
The Prophet Everene of the Eldar Tribe will also arrive in Macragge in the near future, and Chief Dean Morven Val will preside over the relevant ceremonies for your wedding on behalf of the Council of High Lords of the Empire and the Imperial State Church."
"Your Highness the Archon, I have brought the best Sisters of Words and Songs from the Sisters. The Procession Sisters, the Colored Window Sisters and the Servant Sisters have also sent a large number of people. Together, they will ensure that the wedding is grand and grand.
Grand, and responsible for all matters related to the wedding." Morven Vaal explained to Guilliman that although the Holy Mother Superior of the Sisters was a battle nun, she did not seem to know anything about these matters.
On the contrary, after receiving the relevant orders, she had already ordered the various religious orders under the Sisters to prepare, and was determined to present a grand and grand wedding to the imperial consul, so that the human empire would never
Losing face in front of aliens like the Eldar.
Faced with the fact that Morwen Var and Trajan, the two members of the High Lords Council of the Empire, had already arranged all the actions, Robert Guilliman still wanted to fight for it even though he knew that he could no longer change this fact: "
Is there no room for negotiation on this matter? Why did Father make such a decision? I need to go to Terra to meet Father in person and ask what is going on!"
Under normal circumstances, Robert Guilliman would never be able to say that he would leave the battle behind just to question his father.
But considering that there are now three Space Marine legions of Ultramarines, Salamanders and Space Wolves in the Ultramarine Star Territory, with three Primarchs taking command, Robert Guilliman can let his brothers temporarily take over the military affairs and return to the Holy Land himself.
A trip to Terra isn't something that's out of the question.
Perhaps the Lord of the Fire Dragon and the Wolf King are not as good at internal affairs as the Lord of the Ultramarines and can manage everything in an orderly manner, but with the military command ability of the Primarch, it is completely sufficient to command the entire army.
But in the face of Robert Guilliman's doubts, Trajan said firmly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Consul, this marriage is an order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor. You have no room for bargaining. This order
It cannot be changed or questioned.”
At this point, it seems that in order to enhance the credibility of his remarks, Trajan also emphasized: "The three hundred imperial troops I brought were prepared to ensure the smooth progress of the wedding. If you refuse to accept the imperial army,
If so, I will regretfully have to order them to complete this wedding."
Obviously, the Emperor blocked all other possible options for Robert Guilliman and directly sent his own confidant Custodes to ensure the smooth progress of the marriage.
Robert Guilliman obviously had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Looking at Trajan and the three hundred imperial troops he brought with him, the Lord of Macragge hesitated and hesitated.
Although if he wanted to resist, the force of the Ultramarines assembled on Macragge could indeed deal with the three hundred Imperial Guards and the Battle Sisters brought by Morven Vale, but now it was the time for the Empire to use its troops, how could he
What about such a waste of precious combat power?
What's more, for Robert Guilliman, he just couldn't accept the reality before him and wanted to find out what happened. He had no intention of betraying the empire.
Therefore, after reconfirming that the matter was not going away, Robert Guilliman could only agree to the marriage just like he agreed to the construction of the Emperor's statue in the Black Templars, and allowed the servile nuns brought by Morwen Vaal to
They started to tell him off.
The most skilled servitors from the Order of the Sisters made many gorgeous and expensive gowns tailor-made for the Primarch to replace the power armor worn by Robert Guilliman.
They even tried to make the original handsome face of the Primarch more masculine and more majestic.
To this end, they did not hesitate to do some tricks on the Primarch's face, allowing him to grow thick mustaches, which immediately added a bit of majesty to Robert Guilliman.
If it were just like this, it would be nothing to the gene source, but this level was still within Guilliman's tolerance range.
However, a wedding between an imperial consul and the god of death of the Eldar race cannot be just a small show.
The nuns of the Order of the Stained Window have replaced the windows of almost all Anglican churches throughout Macragge with stained glass windows, and the scenes depicted in them are basically the glorious past history of the empire.
The processional order was not idle either, and began to prepare the grandest wedding procession for the regent's wedding.
On the other hand, at Robert Guilliman's request, Vulkan and Leman Russ also agreed to reduce Guilliman's workload during the wedding.
Although Vulkan and Leman Russ are not as detailed as Robert Guilliman, they also have different ways of dealing with it.
Among them, the Fire Dragon Lord was better at forging, so he asked his Salamander Legion to start building fortresses and fortresses to support strategic nodes, giving full play to the advantages of human technology to fight defensive battles.
The father of the Space Wolves prefers to charge forward and be a sharp knife that tears apart the enemy.
After the two joined forces, the Salamanders were responsible for the defense, and the Space Wolves quickly agitated and counterattacked, which really made the defense line somewhat impregnable.
This also gave them the opportunity to free up their hands and watch with their own eyes how their brothers got married.
