Chapter 11 11. Planning before the expedition

"Your Highness Dukel, what are your orders?"

Sister Efilar came to the room and asked.

In the past few days, she has been busy mobilizing the legions of the state religion.

When she was asked to come here at this moment, Efilar thought that another war was about to start, so she seemed very motivated.

"You go around and comfort the injured people and soldiers."

In his eyes, this nun also had a firm belief in human beings. Similar to Gris, she was just a little short of being able to join the Heart Network.

Ophelia No. 7 is the home of the Battle Sisters and the second holiest place in the state religion.

Among the tens of billions of residents, there are countless people who have such fanatical beliefs.

All it takes is for the senior officials of the state religion to go out and catalyze it, and the number of members in the Heart Network will increase rapidly.

"Ah I?"

At first, Efilar thought that Duker wanted her to drag the injured people all over the map and have a bloody massacre.

Only later did I understand that she was really asked to comfort the wounded.

But as a battle nun, in addition to praying and fighting every day, there is no way to comfort others.

It is much easier for her to kill demons than to comfort people.

Seeing her like this, Duker naturally knew what she was thinking.

But there is really no one available. After the Dukel War, he has been living in seclusion. The other senior officials of the State Church are not very familiar with it. Only Efilar can use it smoothly.

"Efilar, this matter is very important. If I don't need to talk to other planetary governors next, I will do it myself."

"Those people have gone through so much grief and need someone to guide them and strengthen their faith."

The original body looked directly at the nun in front of her, with a soft tone and sincerity in her eyes.

"You're going to help me, right?"

Efilar looked at Duker's bright eyes. This resolute female warrior suddenly lowered her head shyly.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Dukel nodded,

"The Emperor's eyes look at all people equally. As his children, we should not lose our love for the people."

"okay, I get it."

Efilar walked out of the room with a slightly red face.

For some unknown reason, she felt that her heartbeat was extremely fast when she stood in front of the original body today. This was something she had never felt before.

After Efilar left.

Duker began to calculate how much progress was still left before the real Great Expedition.

Brand new battleships are being built.

The strengthening of one's own mind and will has been completed.

The seeds (heart web) of the Second Legion have been sown.

In the Warhammer world, it has never been easy to launch a real Great Crusade.

Even with these enhancements to the legion's strength.

In order to ensure the success of the expedition, we also need to have a stable rear area.

Ophelia Seven is located in the Storm Star Field in the remote south of the Milky Way, a long way from Terra.

But as the second holy land, its richness is second only to Terra.

And after the fall of Cartier Fortress, Ophelia Seven was trapped in the newly formed Great Rift.

There is always the risk of being attacked by Chaos. Basically, if you defeat a Khorne Daemon, there will be another Blue Flame Tyrant of Tzeentch.

In the original plot, when the planet was finally saved by the resurrected Guilliman, the one who was attacking the world at that time was the Blue Flame Tyrant, the Lord of Change under Tzeentch.

The entire galaxy is in chaos. Humanity and Chaos, Chaos and Aliens, Chaos and Chaos, all races have started a chaotic battle mode. An attack from either side is not surprising.

Therefore, in a rare period of peace, Duker will unite all nearby living planets, including Ophelia Seven, to create a base camp that can provide him with a stable source of troops.

At Duker's call.

Soon, more than half of the nearby planetary governors had arrived, and the rest who had not come would not come again.

This doesn't surprise Dukel.

Thousands of years have passed since the time when the Primarch and the Emperor appeared in the world.

Such a long history is enough to bury a lot of things.

The once glorious interstellar battle group has now been reduced to auxiliary status.

The glory of the empire has also been swept into the dust of history.

It is normal for these planetary governors to be wavering. After all, no one wants their rights to be suddenly taken away by a person who originally only existed in legends.

Duker doesn't have time to deal with these people for the time being. What he has to do now is to maintain the world that is still willing to provide allegiance to him.

In order to build the nearby star system centered on Ophelia 7 into its own resource base.

In the short term, Dukel plans to develop the Heart Network only in the direction of elite soldiers.

And win over the people, streamline the administrative department, and provide more military power and replacement personnel for his upcoming expedition with high efficiency.

All this requires the help of planetary governors.

In order to effectively expand the territory of the human empire, each planet has autonomy.

These planetary governors are no different from emperors on their own planets.

It is unimaginably complicated to integrate all these forces to work for yourself.

Even with the psychological network built by the system and the unimaginable abilities of the original body, he will not be able to completely control every world in the short term.

Many planetary governors, headed by the Oracle Priest of Tallan Star, expressed their loyalty to Dukel.

But Duker just stared at each of them in turn, and then slowly said,

"I need to form an independent parliament. This parliament can allow my will to spread smoothly in the Storm Star Territory. Which of you is willing to support me?"

After finishing speaking, Duker looked at everyone quietly, waiting for their decision.

As the second Primarch who was previously removed from the Empire, he does not have as deep a reputation as Guilliman, and it is basically impossible to gain the support of the Supreme Council of Terra.

Therefore, before his wings are full, Duker needs to establish an independent parliament to ensure that his will and beliefs can be spread smoothly.

He is not like Guilliman, who can compromise and give in, and even tolerate the emergence of rebellion as long as he can unite everyone.

When Duker launches an expedition to conquer each world, all conquered worlds will be transformed to his will.

He understands that such behavior will attract a large number of enemies to him.

Even most of the galaxy will fight against him.

But it doesn't matter. Dukel is confident that he has enough power to suppress all resistance and kill all those who try to resist. If the latecomers still choose to resist, then they will be killed again.

After countless efforts to remove impurities, what remains will be absolute loyalty.

In this dark age when the power of the four gods has expanded infinitely, the emperor has fallen into slumber.

Only by doing this can you have no worries, and only with enough pure loyalty can you save the human empire that is on the verge of collapse.

Anyway, Duker will not accompany those who have been corrupted by power and move towards sustainable destruction with the human empire.

This approach seemed extremely normal to Duker.

But to the ears of the oracle priest and others, they felt extremely bold.

Even strictly speaking, the idea of ​​establishing an independent parliament has crossed the line.

Could it be that the Primarch wanted to rebel against the Emperor's rule like his brother?

For a moment, they couldn't even figure out whether Duker was telling the truth or was trying to test their fishing behavior.
