Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 284 Mars’ Birthday Celebration?
Mars.

The outer space of the atmosphere.

swoosh~
The huge red and black mechanical ship suddenly jumped out of the subspace.

That is the mechanical ark of the Mechanicus. As part of the Mechanicus's plan to explore knowledge, it will explore the starry sea endlessly.

The mechanical ark is so huge that it is far larger than the battleships of the Imperial Navy.

Its extreme mass creates its own gravitational field, acting like an unstable satellite.

Even more terrifying is that the Ark is loaded with the best technology the Mechanicus can offer.

The weapons it carries are even more powerful than those of Imperial battleships, it has a longer range, and its defensive capabilities are significantly stronger.

The Ark Machine is so valuable that entire Forge Worlds are destroyed just to awaken the Machine Spirit aboard.

would all be considered a negligible cost.

The red-black mechanical ark "Udia" ignored the Imperial Solar Fleet stationed in the outer orbit of the Ring of Steel and recklessly crossed its defense line.

Approaching the Martian atmosphere.

The gravity field of the mechanical ark caused climate change on Mars, and a sudden sandstorm swept across several hive cities.

Demonstrating its unparalleled military power.

This is just the beginning.

Along with the fluctuations in space, more Mechanicus fleets jumped out of the warp and gathered in the airspace near Mars.

That's a fleet of over thirty Conservative Forge Worlds.

They brazenly displayed their military might to Imperial garrisons, Holy Terra, and numerous Forge Worlds.

The Temple of the God of All Things.

"see it?"

Udia looked wildly into space, looking at his mechanical Ark flagship and the huge fleet behind it.

He was very proud: "This is the will of the Mars Casting General!"

Moreover, this is just the vanguard, and dozens of Forge World fleets are on the way.

The force he assembled this time was no less powerful than any fleet of any imperial force, and was even more powerful.

This is the foundation of the Mechanicus!
These days, Udiya is very annoyed.

Many forging worlds dared to protest, questioning him as the Forging General in harsh words.

Some even demanded that he abdicate.

How arrogant!
It may be that the Mars Headquarters has always been peaceful, which makes people no longer so afraid of the Mars Headquarters and the Casting General.

So much so that he forgot that he, the Forge General, was one of the most powerful people in the empire.

Possessing unimaginable and terrifying military power.

This was unbearable for Udiya, and he had to impose severe punishment on those who attempted to resist.

To maintain his dignity.

Udiya searched through a growing list of Forge Worlds that had sent in their protests.

This is a dangerous sign.

If he doesn't fight back strongly, the attacks will only intensify.

There may even be some daring enough people who ignore the majesty of Mars and come to us.

This further expands the trend.

At this point, he can no longer afford to back down.

You must use thunderous wrath to deter the villains!

Like a supreme king, Udia inspected the forge worlds on the list and picked out some unlucky ones.

To impose punishment.

"Go, in the name of the Mechanical God, make these rebels submit to my will!"

Udia threw a list of several Forge Worlds to his subordinates and ordered his fleet to go and suppress them violently.

As the Forging General, he wants to let those Forging Worlds know that their resistance is so powerless and ridiculous!

Following Udia's command, the Mechanicus fleet that had just gathered dispersed and headed towards its target.

Soon, many warships landed on those Forge Worlds that protested fiercely, in the name of clearing out the rebellion of the Mechanicus.

Attack it.

After they destroyed the local orbital defenses, they sent Titans, Imperial Knights, Divine Guards and other troops to land on the surface.

With unstoppable advantage, it overwhelmed the local defense forces.

Then the rebels, led by the foundry director, were arrested and sent to the Mars headquarters for trial.

As for the industries that forged the world, they were divided up by the conservatives.

……

"Urdiya, you have killed members of the church. You are the cancer of the Mechanicus!"

"You can't kill our spirit of seeking knowledge!"

"O Mechanical God, I beg you to punish Udia..."

"Your end is coming!"

Mars, Arsia Mons.

A tower of atonement rises high into the sky, covered with countless mechanical cages.

The rebels were imprisoned in cages and exposed to the scorching sun of Mars.

To punish them for their disrespect and betrayal to the Martian Headquarters and the Forge General.

The rebels raged day and night.

However, their voices could not reach Udia's ears.

The casting general shrugged it off.

After the situation stabilizes.

He will hold a grand trial ceremony and execute these ridiculous rebels personally.

After Udia violently suppressed a group of Forge Worlds, he issued a new decree.

Declare the fate of those traitors.

To show the majesty of the Martian headquarters and the casting general.

At the same time, he warned the other Forging Worlds to obey the orders of the Martian headquarters and not to commit apostasy like those traitors.

Otherwise, there will be a severe blow from Mars!
The Temple of Frictionless Pistons.

Oil sump.

Udia soaked comfortably in the motor oil, maintaining the mechanical implants in his body.

The subordinate came to report:
"Sir, our fleet requests to set out again to suppress the rebellion!"

For the conservative fleets, this is a good opportunity to carve up other factions' forge worlds and expand their power.

They are ready to make a move, eager to suppress more Forge Worlds.

"is it?"

As if he had expected this, Udia handed over another list:
"Let them go, and let the majesty of Mars and the Forging General be implemented!"

This is a good thing for him.

This incident will allow the conservative forces to further expand and seize more territory and mechanical facilities.

"Perhaps, we can get more..."

Udiya was in a good mood.

With his thundering rage, the situation was brought under control and the voices of protest became fewer and fewer.

When the situation gradually stabilizes, he will come forward to appease some of the Forging Worlds.

Appropriately grant them some of the valuable knowledge in the Martian secret library.

To completely eliminate the impact of this incident.

At the same time, the power of the conservatives will increase further, giving him more power in the empire.

Now, he just needs to stay on Mars and wait patiently.

This is one of the safest places in the Empire, safer even than Holy Terra.

As the headquarters of the Mechanicum, Mars possesses a planetary defense system that is no less powerful than that of Holy Terra.

Over the past ten thousand years, it has defeated all enemies that dared to invade.

Even the powerful Necrons once suffered a crushing defeat in an attack, enriching Mars' defense system.

Perhaps some radical forge worlds would take the risk and launch a rebellion to attack him, the Martian Forge General.

But in any case, Mars is not something that the armies of the Forge World can shake.

As long as he stays on Mars, he will be invincible!

What's more, most worlds have succumbed to the will of Mars Headquarters and the Forge General.

No longer dare to protest.

Udiya sank into the oil, enjoying it all.

Those opponents are doomed to lose!

……

The edge of the solar system.

airspace.

A ship of the Urs Mechanicus was operating at a low frequency, hidden under the cover of the Veil of the Empyrean.

"Ah, when will the Mechanical Forum be restored?"

Kaul was a little irritable: “Savior, why don’t we mobilize the army and blow up Mars?
I feel like we have a great chance of winning!"

Ron replied faintly:
"We can't take action, otherwise we will probably face a joint attack from the Empire and the Mechanicus..."

"But if we keep waiting like this, that bastard Udia will win!"

Ron took a sip of Coke comfortably and glanced at Kaul: "Who said he was going to win?"

"Is not it?"

Kaul felt a little uncomfortable: "We have waited for so long, but we didn't see a single ship coming to attack Mars.

Those guys from the Mechanicus don't dare to attack Mars.

It’s even better now, they don’t even dare to protest, everything is quiet…”

"It's better to be quiet. This is the situation we hope for. It proves that the struggle has entered a deeper level..."

Ron put forward a different view: "Have you ever heard of a saying, either explode in silence or perish in silence!"

Based on relevant intelligence information.

The voices of those forging worlds gradually died down, and fewer and fewer forging worlds protested and rebuked Mars.

Many people thought that Udia had the situation under control.

However, Ron's conclusion was exactly the opposite. The situation could no longer be suppressed!

He could no longer feel the oil men's rising anger, but instead, there was a dead silence.

But that's not surrender.

In this situation, silence is the most terrifying.

Perhaps high-ranking politicians like Udia, who hold high positions and play power games at the top, are not aware of this.

But Ron has a deep understanding of this.

Many years ago, the planet Ers went through a period of material scarcity and extreme chaos.

At that time, rebellion was a daily occurrence.

As the planetary governor, Ron has personally and for a long time dealt with some demonstrations and protests.

I have also read too many frontline reports.

He felt complicated when he saw the conclusions of those reports.

When crowds gather to protest, the louder the slogans they shout, the less threatening they appear.

Even if they want to die, they are just trying to do it through some self-harming behavior.

To get what they deserve.

In this case, if you can just slightly satisfy the demands of the crowd, you can immediately appease them.

You may even get their thanks.

Because people just want those in power, those who have hurt them, to hear their demands and beg them to resolve the issue.

Once the purpose is achieved, it will naturally disperse.

Even if someone comes out to appease them verbally, it will not cause too much unrest.

However, when the crowd begins to fall silent, that is the truly dangerous moment.

At that time, you could clearly feel that rage and murderous intent were brewing in that silence.

Spreading silently among the crowd.

That means that the people have become completely desperate, they have given up on those in power and have no hope of solving the problem through any normal means.

Don't even want to solve the problem anymore.

At this time, they silently clenched their fists, sharpened their knives, and loaded their guns.

They only think about one question.

That is to kill the person who hurt them and the culprit!
When things develop to this point.

No matter what those responsible say, what promises they make, or even their willingness to solve the problem.

It's all useless.

All they got was the silence and cold gazes of the crowd.

Those leaders with rich front-line experience will most likely mobilize all the troops they can at the first opportunity.

To meet the impact of the rebel crowd.

If you are running out of time, then run quickly. If you still have a chance to run.

Otherwise, he will be torn to pieces by the angry crowd!

Now, those Forge Worlds have gradually begun to fall silent.

This proves that the anger of those in the Forge World has been ignited, and their murderous intentions are brewing.

The majesty that Mars has accumulated over tens of thousands of years can no longer be suppressed.

After all, for the oil man, knowledge is above all else, and Udia banned the mechanical forum.

It's more infuriating than just killing.

At this time, if someone came out and said something.

The murderous intent that gathered together and surged in was enough to overwhelm any existence.

Even if he is the Martian Forging General and the Supreme Lord of the Empire!

After listening to the explanation of the Savior.

Colmore rubbed his fists.

He plans to go to Mars when the time comes to test the strength of his body's armor.

Cole touched his father's head, an ultra-heavy servoskull equipped with many deadly weapons.

"Father, when the time comes we'll go to Mars and blow away those old conservatives.

Let them see how powerful our Sali family is!"

After all, their Sali family has some grudges against the conservatives.

Suddenly, Cawl asked a very important question: "How long will it take for those armies from the Forge World to reach Mars?"

Ron smiled slightly:
"Let the bullets fly for a while..."

……

Huangquan No. 8 Forging World.

The entire Forge World fell into silence.

Everything is pretty much the same as usual.

The technical priests did not demonstrate or protest, but continued to do their work.

Just occasionally glance at the closed mechanical forum.

His eyes were cold.

In addition to their work, the technical priests silently strengthened their prosthetic weapons and added more weapons and equipment to the heavy firepower and vehicles in the laboratory.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

Foundry Palace.

In the hall.

The top executives are holding a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Master Director, we must unite with other Forge Worlds to protest and drive Udia out of power!"

"Yes, we must make a statement!"

The two deputy supervisors were resolute.

Since the mechanical forum was closed, the casting director of Huangquan No. 8 has not made any statement.

Nor did they oppose or attack the Edict and Udia like other Forge Worlds did.

This made the top management feel a little impatient.

"Protest, is protest useful?"

The casting director asked in return, “No matter how much we curse and oppose, will that old bastard Udiya step down on his own initiative?

Don't you guys understand? That bastard Udiya has completely taken control of the Mechanicus Elder Council.

Now, he has the final say in the Mechanicus.

No matter how much we in the Forge World object, it is useless. We have no right to drive him out of office!"

An old mechanical sage sighed and said, "What should we do? Can't we do anything to him?"

"Your thinking has been constrained by the power of the Mars headquarters for a long time."

The casting director shook his head:
"Do we have to use normal means to solve the problem?"

"O Mechanical God, do you mean that we should start a rebellion and kill Udia?"

The old mechanical sage looked frightened.

The Martian headquarters has been as stable as a rock for tens of thousands of years, and almost no one inside the Mechanicus dares to have such a terrible idea.

After all, that is where the Mechanicus' firepower is the strongest, and it is also located at the core of the empire, with many imperial troops guarding it.

"What rebellion, and who rebelled?"

The foundry director said as if he was not talking nonsense: "We are going to support and defend Mars and eliminate the evil heretics hidden in the upper echelons of the headquarters.

This is a just act, and no one is more loyal than us!"

Dull footsteps sounded.

The casting director stood up and moved outside, and everyone followed him to the terrace in the hall.

"Everyone, I'm ready. I'm leaving today to support Mars!"

The casting director raised his head slightly.

Everyone followed the director's gaze and saw a huge mechanical ark slowly approaching Huangquan No. 8.

Almost blocking out the sun.

The casting director arranged all this in secret and only revealed it to the public now.

Only by reaching Mars at the fastest and most rapid speed can we reach Mars.

This will prevent Udia from responding and allow them to achieve the desired results.

"Director's order, have our men bring enough firepower and board the ship to Mars!"

The casting director's tone was extremely firm.

"Yes!"

The red-robed deputy supervisor could not wait to issue orders to the entire forging world.

hum-

The moment the order is given.

The cheers of the crowd spread like waves onto the terrace of the Foundry Palace.

Various locations in Huangquan No. 8.

The technical priests excitedly took out their most powerful firepower and pulled out the big guys in the laboratory.

Under the guidance of the instructions, they went to the designated location in an orderly manner and boarded the ship.

On the terrace.

The old mechanical sage was still a little worried: "Director, are we the only ones going to Mars?"

"No, it's not just us. Huangquan No. 8 is just one of the original initiators..."

The casting director said slowly:
"From what I've heard, there are many more Forge Worlds going there, more than you can imagine!"
-
Mars.

Frictionless piston temple, oil sump.

"It seems that those idiots in Holy Terra are very afraid of the will of Mars..."

Udia stretched out several mechanical arms and sneered.

Since he gathered his fleet to launch a massive crusade against his opponents, letters from Holy Terra have arrived one after another.

Inquire about the status of the Mechanicus.

At the same time, he reminded the casting general not to be too radical so as not to cause more unrest.

And pleaded with him implicitly.

Ask him to stop attacking those Forge Worlds.

After all, the Indomitable Crusade that the Empire had been fully preparing for had just begun, and that was when those Forge Worlds were needed.

They could not afford any more Forge Worlds to be attacked and destroyed.

Udiya could imagine it.

How those arrogant supreme lords who were at odds with him wrote to him in anger and humility.

They fear the will of the Mechanicus.

Moreover, they cannot do without their own forging general.

Udia looked at his subordinates and said proudly:
"Reply all those letters for me, and tell them that the Mechanicus is under the power of the Fabricator-General.

Return to calm.

The Mechanicus does not need their false concern!"

"Sir, there is another letter that needs your personal inspection..."

The subordinate respectfully presented a letter, the owner of which was the Regent of the Empire, Primarch Guilliman.

"Oh, the letter from the Primarch. I must take a good look at it..."

Udia languidly took the letter, which had been sent via astropathic communication and written by an unconscious servitor in the shrine's secret chamber.

As expected, the Primarch reprimanded him in a stern tone and warned him not to let the situation continue to develop.

"The Primarch is very angry..."

Udia sighed, but there was not much panic in his tone.

After all, he deeply understood that the Primarch cared very much about the Empire and his Great Crusade.

Moreover, the Primarch was a typical politician who always followed the rules and order of the Empire.

Rather than a madman who kills indiscriminately.

In this situation, as long as the other party is still sane, you can't do anything to him.

Could it be possible that the Primarch could break the alliance and attack Mars, or assassinate a Supreme Lord of the Empire in the street?

Such a thing is almost impossible to happen. No one can withstand the wrath of the Martian Casting General after the assassination failed!

Udiya threw the parchment away and went back to enjoying his motor oil spa.

He was not going to reply to this letter so quickly.

At least, he had to wait until he had the situation under complete control, and then find some free time to slowly recover.

Let the Primarch be more anxious and angry for a while.

This will show the importance of casting generals to the empire.

Moreover, he liked to see the great Primarch Demigod being frustrated in front of him.

This gave him an indescribable sense of control and happiness.

After this incident, the voices of opposition within the Mechanicus will disappear, and the conservative forces will become stronger.

And the Empire will also see the importance of the Mechanicus.

By then, no one will be able to shake his position as the Martian Casting General.

Even if you are the Primarch, you have to be careful with yourself!

Udia was immersed in beautiful imagination, as if he had already dominated the empire.

Suddenly, a shrill cry was heard.

"Sir, it's not good!"

A messenger waiter stumbled in and fell into the pool of engine oil.

Udia grabbed the messenger and lifted him up: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Traitors...traitors are attacking Mars!"

"what?!"

Udia was shocked and climbed out of the oil pool with difficulty and stood on the conveyor belt.

Soon, the conveyor belt transported it to a terrace.

Suddenly, he remembered something and opened the communication channel that he had closed to avoid being disturbed.

Suddenly, dozens of communication messages came.

"The traitors, led by Huangquan No. 8, drove their fleet into the airspace of Mars!"

Udia looked up and saw a mechanical ark leading a huge fleet.

Approaching Mars.

He suddenly looked at his subordinates: "Quick, reinforcement order, let all fleets return to Mars!"

Although this traitor army is large in number, it is not to the point where it cannot be dealt with.

As long as the conservative fleet left behind on Mars can hold out for a while, more forces will come to support.

Then they can be wiped out completely!

"My Lord, my God..."

The subordinates' electronic voices trembled, and they were terrified beyond words: "Maybe we won't be able to wait for help..."

"What do you mean!"

Udia was instantly furious, and then he followed his subordinates' gaze and looked up at the starry sky.

"This...how is this possible?"

He screamed, and his mechanical body lost balance and fell onto the conveyor belt in an ugly posture.

In just a short while, more rebel fleets arrived on Mars.

Whoosh whoosh—

With the naked eye, countless warships can be seen flashing like stars and leaping out of the warp space.

Densely packed and layered.

It almost fills the vast airspace around Mars!
