Chapter 49 - Son

After entering the monastery, the old Sergeant of the Ultramarines led them into a very spacious hall.

Upon entering the hall, Noah did not speak. He was observing the art and aesthetics of the Ultramarines, evaluating the aesthetic sense of this civilization.

Therefore, it was Cawl who first expressed his intentions.

When Cawl stated that he was there to fulfill a ten-thousand-year agreement with the Lord of Ultramar, the current Lord of Ultramar, Calgar, said that he had never made any agreement with the Archmagos.

He did not understand Cawl's purpose for this trip.

"Archmagos, I don't understand your purpose. I have never made any agreement with you."

"And I can guarantee that I haven't forgotten; it's because I genuinely haven't made any agreement with you in any sense."

These were Calgar's words, and Drakoar merely shook his head, stating:

"The agreement was not made with you, but with the true Lord of Ultramar, the 13th Primarch Roboute Guilliman."

"The one who made the agreement with me is the true Lord of Ultramar."

"The specific content of the mission I am currently undertaking can only be officially announced after I transport the precious cargo behind me to the unconscious Primarch."

These words spread like a thunderclap among the crowd, astonishing even the Black Templars and Inquisitors who had followed the Archmagos all the way.

Such shock even far exceeded their awe after seeing Noah.

Although Noah was disrespectful to the Emperor, he was not so blasphemous.

Instead, he even took action to resolve the chaos, though his attitude was quite thought-provoking.

But as long as he did not openly rebel against the Imperium.

The Imperial Inquisitor would still make a choice when faced with such powerful combat pressure.

This was not like the Mournival of the Eldar; those Eldar Mournival were the true heretics and must be guarded against.

Of course, Living Saint Celestin must also be guarded against, as her power looked like that of a heretic.

He must defend against the power of these heretics.

Even if they all called him the Emperor's messenger.

As a qualified Inquisitor, he felt it necessary to do so.

However, all of these combined were not as shocking as the current news.

Because Cawl had only ever stated that he was fulfilling an agreement made with the Lord of Ultramar.

And no one had thought that this Lord of Ultramar referred to the 13th Primarch Roboute Guilliman.

Such a result was truly astonishing, and among everyone present, only Noah, the Living Saint, and the two Eldar representatives showed no surprise.

Noah had already received the Living Saint's answer, so he knew exactly who they were looking for on this trip.

Furthermore, he didn't understand what this 13th Primarch represented.

In previous scans, he had already discovered that someone had been placed in a forbidden field, barely alive, by these people.

Perhaps that was the 13th Primarch.

However, from an intrinsic point of view, Noah did not consider a Primarch to be a rare thing.

In Noah's opinion, a Primarch was equivalent to a peculiar unit created by combining some bioengineering and a large amount of psionics.

Noah only needed to glance at such a unit to see through it completely.

He was a Terran Federation three-system research scientist, and knowledge of this level was very simple for him.

What does it mean to be a level 10 max-level scientist?

This is it—

He was a true Federal level 10 max-level scientist.

If he had all the necessary materials, he could now begin to manufacture a legion of genes warriors.

Even if he couldn't use military technology, by only using old techniques, he could still create genes legions superior to these units.

Of course, Noah's own thoughts were unknown to outsiders.

Now, the situation outside became even more tense.

Because Cawl stated that his contracting party was Roboute Guilliman, the Ultramarines had already aimed their weapons at this audacious force.

At the same time, their actions were met with retaliation from the Psionic Legion and PDF brought by Noah. The Psionic Legion and PDF also raised their weapons.

gauss rifles were aimed directly at the Ultramarines, and the psionics lightning in the hands of the Psionic Legion had already begun to gather. If the Ultramarines made any untoward move.

Then a fatal blow awaited them.

The situation became extremely critical.

The Ultramarines also realized how powerful their opponents were, but they did not make any concessions and still maintained their posture for war.

Matters related to Guilliman were their bottom line; some things could not be discussed under any circumstances.

Aggeman, the Captain of the First Company, had already prepared to die for their Primarch.

The standoff continued until Noah waved his hand.

"Put down your weapons. Let them continue their conversation. This matter has nothing to do with us."

Upon hearing this, the Psionic Legion and PDF put down their weapons again, but the Ultramarines did not do so.

Just as the Ultramarines remained stubborn and were about to provoke Noah's wrath, Tigurius, the Chief Librarian of the Ultramarines, spoke.

He approached Chapter Master Calgar and then recounted the visions he had experienced a few days prior.

"Chapter Master, you should be aware that those visions foretold the arrival of the Chaos army, and these visions also indicate that some hope will reach Macragge."

"I believe these travelers who have come from afar are probably related to this hope. This might be related to the Emperor's will; the galaxy is about to undergo drastic changes."

"I am willing to vouch for them, to allow the Archmagos to continue his mission.

And also this mysterious traveler; at least he has ordered his troops to put down their weapons and not to confront us, hasn't he?"

As he spoke, he kept winking at Calgar, his meaning clear.

"That big shot over there could crush all of us with a flick of his hand, and the entire Hera Fortress would be destroyed by him.

We can't win, so why not compromise?

Besides, this is the Emperor's will. It's always right to follow the Emperor's will, better than all of us being wiped out."

"It doesn't matter if we die, but the Primarch is still here. If that big shot makes a move, the Primarch will also be utterly annihilated along with the destruction of Hera Fortress."

Well, whether it was a compromise due to the Chief Librarian's reasonable words.

Or under the powerful military deterrence of Noah himself, Chapter Master Calgar of the Ultramarines finally compromised.

"Alright, you may enter, but you must be respectful enough and ensure that you will do nothing ill to the Primarch."

Calgar compromised, and his words even included the two lords and the cargo.

After all, the Chief Librarian was right; that big shot could destroy the entire Hera Fortress with a casual wave of his hand.

With the destruction of the fortress, the Primarch would also be doomed. It was better to take a chance, after all, this was the Emperor's will.

The Emperor, at least, wouldn't betray his own son, would he?
