After hearing this, Chief Priest Erebus first exclaimed, then hurriedly flattered him, trying his best to express his admiration for the foresight and quick wit of Warmaster Horus at this moment.

"Okay!"

After waving his hand to signal Erebus not to say such boring words, Horus frowned and continued his analysis:

"However, this time it can be considered as a wake-up call for us..."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, we must quickly make some preparations and at the same time push away or eliminate some threats as much as possible?"

As he said that, Horus began to lower his head, frown and ponder, and quickly walked to the huge Milky Way star map in his Lupekar meeting hall, and then began to look at the names of the star clusters and the locations of the legions and fleets above.

I don't know what I am thinking about.

"..."

After waiting for a long time and finding that Warmaster Horus still had no response, Erebus finally couldn't help but walk behind him and asked carefully:

"Warmaster!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Do you want to continue to pass on fake orders and let those legions kill each other?"

Yes, that's what Erebus thought.

Since Horus is still the Warmaster, since the Warp Storm prevents information from being conveyed smoothly, since the Emperor's orders sometimes cannot reach each legion directly, and since the Wolf King's orders can be changed, then this naturally gives them enough

Lots of operating space.

"idiot!"

"Do you think we were exposed quickly enough?"

However, it would have been better if Erebus didn't say anything. As soon as he said that, he was scolded by Horus who suddenly turned his head.

"..."

Seeing this, although he felt a little dissatisfied and aggrieved, Erebus still had to retreat in embarrassment and some resentment.

After all, he himself knew that he, the chief priest of the Word Bearers, was really good at spreading chaos and engaging in conspiracy, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Sixteenth Legion and successfully instigated rebellion and corrupted the war in front of him.

Horus is very handsome, but if it comes to strategic arrangements and arrangements, it is indeed not what he is good at.

"Listen!"

"No matter whether our affairs are suspected by the Emperor, or whether other legions have received the news, whatever we can do now must be in line with my character and identity as a loyal 'Warmaster'!"

"so……"

"Please record it!"

"Order: Sanguinius of the Blood Angels and his entire Ninth Legion immediately proceed to the Signus Cluster of the Northern Cross to liberate the area from the claws of the Nephilim; let the Dark Angels Chapter

Llane El'Jonson and his First Order head to the Shield World!"

"Other!"

"Have Robert Guilliman and his XIII Legion 'Ultramarines' take the fleet from Saturn to the Viridian system to prepare for battle with the invading Green Orcs!"

"besides!"

"..."

In this way, Warmaster Horus began to issue vicious orders one after another in the Luperkar Chamber of his flagship Vengeful Spirit, under the flattering and excited gaze of the Word Bearers' chief priest Erebus.

An order designed to distract or weaken the power of the Loyalist Astartes Legions loyal to the Emperor.

"Huh huh huh..."

After a long time, Horus couldn't help but sneered a little proudly.

That’s right!

He just wants those loyal Astartes legions to either be transferred to distant wild worlds, or have them have to follow his orders as the Warmaster to fight against the extremely powerful, even the Asta

Special Space Marines may also be consumed by the enemy in combat at great cost.

In this way, when they are ready and go to Terra, those legions will either be too far away to come back, or they will be completely unaware and unable to receive the news, or they will suffer heavy losses and be unable to return reinforcements, etc.

By then, it would be much easier for them to capture Terra and capture the Emperor.

And when they occupied Terra, when Horus ascended the throne of the Lord of Humanity, when everything was settled, he believed that his brothers would be forced by reality to admit and obey.

his.

"Right!"

"How are things going in the Oretian Technological State?"

"No problem?"

After issuing a series of vicious orders, Horus paused and suddenly asked Erebus about the progress of another matter.

"Report to the Warmaster!"

"I've already arranged it!"

"In a few days, I will invite their foundry consul to the Vengeful Spirit. If we cannot 'persuade' him to join us, we will kill him directly!"

"When the time comes..."

"Let's just start a war against that technological country on the pretext that he wants to assassinate you, and then seize the opponent's STC in one fell swoop!"

"Then we won't have to worry about our future equipment."

Faced with the question from Warmaster Horus, Erebus was obviously well prepared and immediately revealed his evil idea.

The STC he refers to as the 'Standard Construction Template' system is a complex analysis and processing program, a type of artificial intelligence created in the dark age of technology.

It is said that it contains all human technology?

After the end of the Dark Ages, complete STCs became increasingly rare until they disappeared completely, and in the current empire, some ancient technologies are only possible by relying on certain hard copies of found STC data.

It can be said that the "Dark Age of Technology" witnessed the initial development of the technology that the current empire relies on, and those complete and vast technologies are preserved in the STC system.

With the emergence of the subspace engine and the human mutant 'Navigator', the reason why humans have been able to expand beyond the solar system and conquer various planets, those STC systems can be said to have played a major role!

Under normal circumstances, STC can provide colonists with various construction details, allowing them to use all available local materials to build efficient shelters, generators, and transportation vehicles without any relevant knowledge. For example, the user only needs to

Simply ask how houses and tractors are built, and STC will provide all the necessary plans and solutions.

Moreover, STC can also allow different human colonists to maintain a standard technological level.

But unfortunately, most of the ancient STCs have been damaged or lost. A complete and fully functional STC system is almost a high-tech computer and is hard to come by. This is why the technological level of various worlds and colonies varies.

In short, STC is equivalent to the carrier of all scientific and technological knowledge. With it, Horus, who launched the rebellion, and the various rebel legions under his command will be able to continuously produce various advanced weapons and equipment, and even warships?

Therefore, the Oretian Technology Nation, which possesses that kind of thing, naturally became one of the targets of their planning. This is the case where a common man is guilty of carrying a treasure.

"very good!"

"Remember, this must be done as soon as possible!"

"That Oritian Technology Nation is probably not going to be easy to deal with, plus we need to get that thing intact, so it can be expected that a war is inevitable..."

"But I don't care about that. I just want you to capture them as soon as possible and then get their STC. Do you understand?"

After speaking and seeing that there was nothing else that needed special explanation or attention, Horus slowly walked back to his desk and sat down.

"Please rest assured!"

"Everything is within my subordinate's plan..."

"It won't be any problem."

It can be seen that Erebus really doesn't pay much attention to the mere technological nation of Oretian.

To be honest, if it weren't for the purpose of seizing the opponent's STC, it would be enough for their fleet to directly launch an orbital bombardment. Why would they need to go to all the trouble to plan?

"very good!"

"By the way, how is the culture of brotherhood and association among soldiers promoted?"

Then, after sitting down for a while, Horus suddenly asked.

Associations and the like are actually copied from Lorgar's Word Bearers Legion. It is nothing more than encouraging the Astartes Space Marines in the legion to form small groups in small groups, and then as long as one of them is Chaos

Believers, the entire association will soon be incited, distorted, contaminated and corrupted, and then small groups will cross-infect each other, which can spread to the entire legion in a very short period of time like a fission reaction.

That is an excellent plan that has been proven effective by the Word Bearers Legion. It can be spread quietly within the legion. It is much easier to use than the little tricks Erebus did on the bottom of the Vengeful Spirit. Therefore, now

Horus also used it and paid close attention to its progress.

"Don't worry, War Commander, everything is going well!"

"The progress should be about ten percent now, right?"

"but……"

"There are still many staunch supporters of the Imperial Truth in the Sixty-third Fleet. Many of them are Terran veterans who followed the Emperor in the Great Crusade two hundred years ago. It is not easy to corrupt them."

"We need more time to slowly instil and instigate them without alerting them..."

"Besides, there's no guarantee of success?"
