Noah finished speaking and then turned and left.
He left behind a group of High Lords who were confused and didn't know what had happened, and Guilliman was also a bit bewildered by Noah's words.
However, having spent a considerable amount of time with Noah, he had gained some understanding of Noah's conduct and various statements.
Guilliman turned to the High Lords in front of him and said,
"Today's matters end here."
Whether it was the data Noah would transmit to him, the farm he was to produce, or Noah's recent reminder for him to go to Lion's Gate to gain some prestige in battle.
In Guilliman's view, all of these needed to be done.
Noah was right; instead of continuing to argue with these High Lords here, it would be better to lead the Imperial Army to repel the Daemon invasion first.
Moreover, he could use his arrival as a Primarch to boost the morale of the Imperial Army and deal with these Daemons more effectively.
Ultimately, although Noah was now the Sun Lord of the Imperium and the Imperial Warmaster personally appointed by the Emperor,
he knew very well that Noah was a scientist.
Although he couldn't understand why a scientist would possess such immense power, Noah had introduced himself as a scientist when they first met.
Therefore, from this identity, it could be inferred that Noah definitely did not have much talent in warfare.
As a primarch, he felt it necessary to go and check the situation on the battlefield.
He also planned to carefully review the technical data Noah would send him and the farm he was instructed to build.
This person was a top-tier heaven-defying scientist; the facilities he asked him to build would certainly not be ordinary, but extremely effective.
So, Guilliman now not only wanted to go to the battlefield to confirm the situation but also was eager to understand the technical data Noah had transmitted to him.
The High Lords, who had been sitting dumbfounded, watched as this 13th Primarch of the Imperium, now the imperial regent, left after dropping that statement.
He left quietly, just as he had arrived quietly. The High Lords sat there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
They suddenly felt that the two current high-ranking Imperial officials seemed somewhat inscrutable. The Sun Lord was one thing; they hadn't formally interacted with him yet.
But from their brief encounter, they could also sense that he seemed difficult to approach.
After all, the Sun Lord hadn't spoken a single word to them, only conversing with Guilliman throughout, and this 13th Primarch seemed even more erratic in their eyes.
Their meeting had only just reached its halfway point when he directly left, preparing to go fight at Lion's Gate.
Isn't the Sun Lord already at Lion's Gate? Where would a Primarch be needed?
Harboring great doubts, the High Lords resumed their daily affairs.
Having time for a meeting was already a rare luxury for them; they still needed to handle many more matters, as the tasks that had accumulated during the meeting also needed to be addressed.
The High Lords had no time to concern themselves with what Guilliman was doing, nor did they have time to think about Noah's matters; they returned to handling the various state affairs of the Imperium.
Even though the Imperium of Man was now in peril, their tasks remained numerous.
After all, many things from decades ago still hadn't been dealt with, and they needed to proceed step by step.
Guilliman, along with his honor guard and Ultramarines, left the Department of the Interior hall of the Imperial Palace and proceeded towards Lion's Gate.
As he walked, he received a large amount of data from Noah through his personal terminal.
It detailed various specifications, construction methods, and required materials for the ork farm.
For ordinary materials, the Imperium's ceramite could suffice; materials from stellaris were not strictly necessary.
Although Guilliman felt a slight sense of heresy and blasphemy about directly using orks, creatures closely related to Chaos, as a primarch, he was pragmatic.
If he weren't pragmatic, he wouldn't have established the Five Hundred Worlds of the Ultramarines.
It was precisely because of this that, despite finding the concept somewhat blasphemous and heretical, Guilliman silently accepted it.
Compared to the immense quantity of food this technology could provide, Guilliman felt the risk was worth taking, even without Noah's rapid growth agent.
If a standardized ork farm could be established according to the specifications, that farm alone could solve the monthly food problem for at least 600 billion people on Terra.
Noah used the Terran Federation's standard when calculating food consumption. According to the Terran Federation's standard, the food produced by a ork farm each month could only supply 30 billion people.
The Terran Federation's standard was very simple: it ensured that everyone could eat 8 dishes per meal, half meat and half vegetable, and eat their fill with top-quality, exquisite food.
Three meals a day could all meet this standard; this was the standard for basic living security.
However, the Imperial food supply was clearly not like this; the Imperium emphasized the proper use of all food.
Therefore, according to the Imperial standard, this could satisfy the food problem for 600 billion people.
After all, when the Terran Federation used these foods, they would discard and remove some messy parts.
The food produced by the Terran Federation was the finest of the fine; those unpalatable parts would all be directly discarded, re-converted into nutrients, and then returned to the farmland.
However, the Imperium clearly would not discard and remove things in this manner.
Ordinary Imperium of Man civilians ate corpse starch.
These things were formed by recycling and reprocessing human or animal corpses.
Some were by-products of promethium refinement.
Besides the above two, there were also plants, fungi, or other dead biomass.
This food was usually tasteless, sticky in texture, distributed in the form of "nutritional paste" and "ration bars," and was the daily allotment for the Astra Militarum and civilians.
So, for these ordinary civilians, having a meal was enough; how could they possibly show any disdain or dissatisfaction?
Some delicious foods were inherently not for these commoners; those were foods enjoyed by nobles.
For ordinary Imperial people, even the parts of orks that were edible but not tasty would not be wasted.
And don't assume that just because ork farms had ork meat, they would get to eat meat.
More often, the Imperium would still directly process them into corpse starch and distribute it to the people below.
So, in the face of such a massive food supply, Guilliman compromised. He felt he could set up some factories and quietly produce them.
This would be enough to solve a portion of the food shortage problem on Terra. As for rolling this out publicly, that would require more consideration.
Noah had many things to do, such as connecting the Webway between Terra and his colony planet.
The Imperium of Man was currently facing troubles far more complex than a simple war, and it couldn't be solved by merely setting up a ork farm to provide food.
He needed large-scale backup support.
Looking at the entire universe, if the capital of the Imperium of Man was in such a dilapidated state, could other planets be relied upon?
Naturally not, so Noah could only place his hopes on his own planet.
During Noah's absence, food production on the colony planet became even more frantic.
Now, his colony planet could produce 480 units of food, 200 units of energy credits, 200 units of minerals, and 100 units of alloys each month.
This supply of resources would be insignificant in the Terran Federation, but within the Imperium of Man, it was an extremely valuable batch of supplies.
Furthermore, and more importantly, there were too many cultists and rebels on Terra. Noah did not believe that the current Terra defenders could suppress this rebellion.
He needed more troops.
If he could connect to his colony planet and deploy 20 million PDF, he could quickly suppress the rebellion.
Therefore, after leaving Guilliman, Noah had already returned to his office and began constructing the Webway.
Large quantities of resources were continuously drawn from Noah's spatial backpack and injected into the Webway construction system before him. At the same time, some resources stored by the Imperium of Man were also constantly being sent to Noah.
Connecting directly from the Segmentum Tempestus to the Imperial capital, this Webway was quite long. Even with Noah's technology and abilities, it would take a full 60 days to complete its construction.
While Noah was constructing his Webway, when Guilliman arrived at Lion's Gate, the Primarch's appearance further boosted the morale of the Imperial Army.
A figure from myth appeared before them, a primarch appeared before them, ready to lead them, which naturally greatly invigorated the Imperial Army's morale.
Guilliman's arrival coincided with the triumphant return of Noah's troops, as the PDF marched back to Lion's Gate.
When the Chaos attack was repelled, the triumphant return and the arrival of the Sons of amazingly pushed this morale to its peak.
Astra Militarum Commander Trajan came before Guilliman.
His gaze towards Guilliman softened even further.
If it weren't for Guilliman, if he hadn't brought Noah, perhaps the Imperium of Man would have faced a great catastrophe, and they wouldn't have known if they could protect the Emperor.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Trajan finally said nothing, but knelt on one knee.
The meaning represented by this was self-evident, and Guilliman quickly stepped forward to help him up.
After completing his exchange with the Commander of the Custodes, Guilliman stood at the highest point of Lion's Gate, holding the imperial eagle banner firmly in his hand.
Guilliman always remembered Noah once saying he was a scientist.
What he had to do now was simple: command the troops to cooperate with the Custodes to defeat these Chaos Daemon Army.
In his opinion, Noah had left him with enough power. He had seen those engineering robots, bodyguard robots, and military robots.
He was very clear about the combat power these units possessed, so what he had to do now was to defeat those Chaos Daemon Army.
Holding the imperial eagle banner, Guilliman did not utter any earth-shattering or inspiring words. He merely drew the Emperor's sword from his waist and pointed it towards the Chaos Daemon Army!
"Attack!"
"Attack!" Astra Militarum Commander Trajan also shouted in response, and then 2,000 Custodes stepped forward, forming the spearhead of the army.
To their left and right were the forces of the Grey Knights and Sisters of Silence. The Grey Knights were performing anti-daemon rituals to weaken the Khorne Daemons.
These anti-daemon experts were, one might say, specially created by the Emperor to deal with Daemons, and they were quite familiar with how to handle these Daemons.
Besides them, Noah's PDF had also arrived on the left and right flanks of the Imperial Army. 20,000 PDF stood alongside them.
The Ultramarines and a series of Imperial Space Marines stood together with these PDF.
Judging solely from their armor, no one would mistake these PDF for mere PDF; they should be considered true Space Marines.
Since Guilliman promulgated the Astartes Codex, it has been rare for Space Marines to gather in such large numbers for combat.
Currently, the number of Space Marines present reached over 22,000.
Emperor-class titan and warlord-class titan stood behind them, ready to launch an attack with them.
The Old Hundred Regiments and other mortal auxiliary forces, although they did not take up melee weapons and stand around these armies, still raised their weapons, ready to launch a joint attack.
And at their forefront were the engineering robots left by Noah. These robots were undoubtedly the most powerful existences in this battle.
Aside from the bodyguard robots and military combat robots Noah left behind, they were the most powerful.
Any single engineering robot could effortlessly lift an Emperor-class titan with one hand and then throw it, such powerful physical attacks would be the strongest aid in eliminating Khorne Daemons.
This was a powerful force.
Even during the Great Crusade, it was not easy for the Imperium of Man to assemble such a force, because these robotic combat units could not be manufactured by the Imperium of Man.
"Commence battle!" As Guilliman's sword fell, the Emperor-class titan and warlord-class titan were the first to open fire.
These most powerful existences in ground warfare began to unleash their wrath upon the Daemons.
Even if the Khorne Daemons denied the existence of firearms on a fundamental level,
the immense power could still make them pay a price.
And after these units opened fire, the Mechanical Legion once again charged towards these Chaos Daemons.
Bloody slaughter was imminent. No one was a match for these Mechanical Legion. Any Daemon that dared to try and stop them would be easily crushed, becoming a speck of dust in the Warp.
The Psionic Legion did not participate in this attack; they were with the Grey Knights performing anti-daemon rituals, preparing to weaken the combat power of the Warp Daemons.
The counterattack from the Imperium of Man began at Lion's Gate and spread throughout Terra.
Terra, the sacred capital of humanity, once again faced the fires of war after such a long time. This was a war that would burn across all of Terra.
All cultists, all genestealers, all presences that affected and threatened the Imperium of Man, would be eliminated in this war.
Guilliman intended to use this opportunity to cleanse all of Terra.
