The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"The Imperium of the Great Crusade era was ruled by the Emperor and his efficient and wise servants. The Astartes, as mere weapons, posed no problem because the rear lines could resolve all issues. But the current Imperium is managed by the High Lords of Terra and their increasingly bloated and inefficient bureaucracy. Even small and fragmented Chapters encounter numerous troubles when executing special operations. Imagine the disaster when a larger Legion relies on a sluggish bureaucracy for assistance. The Great Maelstrom Crusade proved this point. Therefore, the future Unbowed Legion will not be a simple Astartes Legion; it will become an armed force defending the interests of humanity, formed to face the grim wars that may come. Its mission will not be solely about fighting, about war for the sake of war. Besides completing military tasks, it must also fulfill civil and even political missions!"

As he finished speaking, Sosiun clenched his fist. When his gaze swept across the crowd, he saw lingering confusion on some faces.

"No doubt some warriors are curious as to why such urgency? Why not slowly restore the Legion's strength and convert more soldiers of the Eleventh Legion's bloodline? This leads to the second matter I want to discuss: the Legion's core mission!"

"In the past, our goal has been to restore the Legion's presence in the Imperium, to cleanse the shame of our ancestors, and to resolve a hidden threat on Terra dating back to the Great Crusade. But the situation is constantly changing. First, there are the traitors hiding in the Realm of Chaos. On Purgatory, we taught the so-called Great Despoiler and his rabble-filled Black Legion a lesson. But this fell far short of crippling them. The Black Legion is still brewing their plans, still yearning to break free from the Eye of Terror and continue their cursed rebellion, which they call the Black Crusades, and have supposedly launched twelve of them."

"Although no one will admit it, everyone knows that the current Imperium is as sluggish as a decaying corpse. Abaddon's thirteenth assault will surely aim to utterly end the Imperium! This will be an unprecedented attack. Whether the Imperium is prepared, I cannot say, but we must be prepared! Prepared for what? Prepared to turn the tide before things develop to the worst possible scenario, in the event that all Imperial institutions, departments, and even decision-making bodies are completely paralyzed! This will be an extremely heavy task, potentially concerning the survival of the Imperium. Therefore, we must gather the most strength in the shortest amount of time, no matter where that strength comes from!"

"In addition to the enemies in the Realm of Chaos, we must also face the challenge of two other major enemies in the material universe. One is called the Necrons. This alien race is also highly likely to be the culprit behind the Legion's destruction. They are not only our mortal enemies but also the mortal enemies of humanity, because this race, due to their greedy ignorance, sought eternal life by resorting to uncontrollable power, ultimately bringing boundless disaster to the galaxy and deservedly losing their souls. This is their due end, but these undead remnants are not resigned to their fate. They妄图to restore their flesh and souls and bring disaster to the galaxy once again."

"But unfortunately, the Imperium has almost no awareness of this threat. Even the Inquisitors of the Ordo Xenos are mostly chasing after the Dark Eldar raiders, who are but a minor nuisance. None of them realize where the real threat lies. Then we must shoulder this responsibility, to contain and even eliminate this group of scourges that have plagued the galaxy for tens of millions of years and should have been buried long ago, these metal revenants. But they were, after all, a great race of millennia past. Both their technology and strength are extremely formidable. Not long ago, I had the honor of leading the warriors of the White Templars to fight them. As you all may recall, that was merely an ordinary dynasty among the Necron, just the tip of the iceberg of this evil race. They are a great enemy not inferior to, or even stronger than, the Black Legion. Their claws have already reached out, and the threat of war is imminent."

"The second threat in the material universe is the Tyranids. This is a completely new and unfamiliar enemy. You have all dealt with Genestealers, and these are just the most insignificant vanguards of the endless Tyranid swarms. Each Hive Fleet represents endless destruction and disaster. The Tyranids have no plans or conspiracies; their existence is solely for consumption, driven entirely by biological instinct. They seem very foolish, but it is precisely this foolishness, combined with their vast numbers and brute force, that makes them a very troublesome thing to deal with. And to deal with them, there is no 'magic bullet,' only hard strength. And now, Genestealer uprisings are springing up one after another in the Storm Worlds, which is already a signal of Hive Fleet invasion."

"Therefore, the Legion's core mission is to contain the Black Legion, eliminate the Necrons, and resist the Tyranids. None of these three tasks are easy. It can be said that each is nearly impossible. But the current state of the Imperium, whether new recruits or veterans, should be able to see it. Above the court, rotten wood governs. Between the palace steps, beasts devour the Emperor's grace. Wolves and dogs act in droves, and slaves and concubines swagger through the world. The Astra Militarum and Chapters are exhausted, rushing around to put out fires everywhere, but still cannot block the leaky windows one by one. Unless those lost Primarchs stand up again, the Imperium will inevitably totter under these triple strikes. At this time, we must stand up and become the pillars of the Imperium. And this requires strength, very powerful strength, and the ability to unite those forces that are determined to save the Imperium. That is why the Legion must put aside the boundaries and distinctions of bloodlines. In the future, we may accept more warriors of non-Eleventh Legion bloodlines. As long as they are loyal to humanity and loyal to the Imperium, nothing is unacceptable. At the moment of life and death, we must let go of many habits and traditions. I also hope that everyone can have a sense of urgency! Our actions, our strength, may very well determine the survival of the Imperium! Do you all have the confidence to shoulder such a heavy responsibility? We are not just a Legion; we are the Imperium's Savior Army!"

Everyone straightened up and shouted loudly:

"We have confidence!"

Sosiun nodded.

"I also believe that everyone has the determination and the strength. In the future, the Legion's development will increase its speed to a new level, at least adding 1000 new recruits every 5 years. In addition, all company commanders must not only know how to command battles but also know how to coordinate logistics, diplomacy, and even administration, learning everything that a theater commander should learn. And the Legion's fleet construction will also enter the fast lane. The Nayshun system and the Brakato system will expand their dockyard scale, and warships will also be customized from the forge worlds of Ulan-Uda, Zhao-Akada, Ryza, and Gryphonne IV. Before the coming of the forty-second millennium, the Legion is expected to obtain 250 warships!"
