Chapter 36 - Proud

After seeing the orks also wiped out, Grisha simultaneously began contacting the House's Astropaths, telling them to inform the system's fleet not to come.

He also notified the other space marine chapters, telling them not to come either.

The battle had reached its end; it only required the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition to come and finish up.

Of course, the Adeptus Arbites should also come.

The things on this hive world must be thoroughly investigated; these orks actually dug through the entire planet, which is a very terrifying matter. This planet must be dealt with.

For some reason, Grisha suddenly felt that his ancestors were truly amazing.

He did not want control of this hive world, but rather returned it directly to the Department of the Interior of the Imperium.

As a result, the House does not need to manage the aftermath of this hive world now.

This was truly excellent for the House, after all, this wave could be said to have saved a large sum of expenses. Although House Yaeger is indeed wealthy, being wealthy does not mean spending so casually.

On the battlefield, a large number of knight titans and soldiers remained in place —

When the situation is not so urgent, knight house will not casually use their Warp drives, as using them once causes considerable damage to the titan.

Therefore, half of the House's knights still remained on the battlefield, and their gazes were all directed towards Zeke.

Or rather, their attention was actually on Zeke's personal guard unit; those 10,000 'cans' and 500 Emperor's Custodes were truly too dazzling.

However, because they also connected to the combat channel during the battle, they also clearly knew that Zeke's troops, which looked like Emperor's Custodes, were not Emperor's Custodes, but rather Assault Teams.

As for those Space Marines, Zeke referred to them as reserves.

That's right, in their eyes, warriors who were already indistinguishable from Space Marines were referred to by Zeke as reserve warriors; they were used to supplement these 500 personal guards.

Or, once Zeke has sufficient resources, he will also elevate those 10,000 soldiers to become human Assault Teams, just like these 500 personal guards.

Tens of thousands of Space Marines and 500 warriors similar to the Emperor's Custodes, this is undoubtedly a powerful force, at least in the eyes of House Yaeger, it is a powerful force.

Space Marines might not be much, but the Emperor's Custodes are different.

Warriors of the Emperor's Custodes' caliber, each one is a top elite of the Imperium of Man. Now their own House also possesses 500 of them, which is different and made everyone feel shocked.

Just as they stood in place, ready to hear what Zeke had to say, Grisha's voice rang out from the communication channel.

"Everyone, don't be curious, return to the House first for discussion!"

Grisha's command was very clear in the House's communication channel; all knight titans immediately stopped their whispering.

Although filled with questions, House Yaeger's discipline was unquestionable — the knights quickly began to form up, preparing to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Ezekiel," Grisha's titan walked up to his son, his voice very low, "we need to have a good talk. About these... troops."

Zeke nodded, he had long anticipated this question: "Father, once we return to the House's Royal Court, I will explain everything."

"Mm." The father and son's conversation ended with this word. After all, they were still outside here. Although they were only conversing in the communication channel, who could guarantee that no one was eavesdropping?

The House's fleet began to enter orbit, then slowly descended, allowing the House's knights to return to the transport ships.

Zeke's personal guard unit also began to board the transport ships. It wasn't until the knights and Space Marines had all boarded the transport ships that the planetary Governor of this planet came before Grisha.

"Greetings, Your Excellency, high king, thank you for leading your House's knights to rescue Eldia planet. Eldia planet will forever remember your and your House's knights' benevolence, and your glory will shine upon the planet."

Grisha responded to him appropriately, but Zeke did not participate in these conversations.

Although he also had excellent diplomatic skills, he honestly didn't like such things.

Moreover, he didn't need to have too many conversations with a planetary Governor of the Imperium; there was no need.

After the Warp and the Emperor jointly beat Nurgle and learned that his Terran Dominion was on its way, Zeke's mindset had undergone a huge change.

Although his Terran Dominion hadn't arrived yet and his combat power hadn't changed much, his 40k fleet had indeed appeared.

This also meant that the message was true.

At the same time, he had also fought alongside the Emperor, so at this moment, Zeke's mindset was definitely no longer like before, where he saw himself as merely the heir of a knight house.

It could be said that compared to conversing with the planetary Governor, Zeke had no interest in it. He'd rather leave quickly and go to welcome the arrival of his fleet.

Nothing was more important than this.

A 40k fleet in the Warhammer world could truly do too many things.

At the very least, the stellar fortress he had always wanted to build should now be possible.

Grisha and the planetary Governor were conversing, while Zeke performed an Aquila Salute to both of them and then chose to leave; he had to go now.

The planetary Governor had no objection to Zeke's departure; after all, His Excellency, the high king, was already here, so what was there to be dissatisfied with?

As for Grisha, he looked at his son with a helpless gaze.

His son was good in every way, but sometimes he liked to suddenly do things like this. However, it was nothing; he doted on his son, after all.

Even if he closed his eyes and thought with his toes, he knew where Zeke was going now; he was clearly rushing back to his asteroid base.

However, after seeing the guards around Zeke, he no longer had any resistance to this matter.

Space Marines and Emperor's Custodes absolutely could not be from the Imperium; this could only be an incredibly powerful army created by his son alone.

House Yaeger was completely different from the various knight house of the Imperium; they were a family that had existed since the Golden Age, so they knew what was most important to humanity, and what kind of power humanity possessed at its peak.

The House's ancestors recorded the might of the Terran Dominion era and the chaos of the Dark Age.

At the same time, the House still possessed many STC templates; for example, the knight titans that the House currently builds cannot be built by other knight house, but they can.

Another example is the power armour equipped by the private army unit he configured for Zeke; this is also part of the House's heritage.

House Yaeger has the STC template for power armour; they can completely build these power armour themselves!

And even for what the Imperium now calls Space Marines, House Yaeger also has some genetic modification projects that can develop warriors within the House to that level.

However, this technology is considered forbidden. Without the joint authorization of the House Head and several House elders, the House cannot activate this technology.

Technology is the secret to this House's enduring prosperity to this day.

He believed his son would know what to do and what not to do.

This was his proud son!
