Chapter 1249: The Weepers

Xiuluo Holy Star, Yingzhou's study.

The night breeze gently brushed against the sheer curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, bringing with it the faint fragrance of flowers from the garden.

Yingzhou sat before the desk, signing his name on the final document.

It was a supplementary clause regarding the resource planet allocation plan for the Feng Qi Xing Alliance, sent over by Lu Zhenda that afternoon, who said it required his personal review.

He put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long breath.

The desk was piled high with various documents.

Military deployments, administrative appointments, resource allocations, diplomatic notes... each one required his personal review, and each one was related to the operation of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance.

Ever since the Feng Qi Xing Alliance surrendered, this workload had continued for a full month.

"Your Majesty, you should rest."

Selina's holographic projection appeared in the corner of the room.

"You have been working for twelve consecutive hours, exceeding the limit of health recommendations."

Yingzhou rubbed his temples.

"How much is left?"

"Tonight's work is already complete. But on tomorrow's schedule, there are still seventeen pending items."

Yingzhou gave a bitter smile.

"Pending items. There are always pending items."

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night scene outside.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out in his mind.

【Detected that the host has completed the total occupation of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance. All major planets of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance have been incorporated into the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance's governing system, and the Feng Qi Xing Alliance as an independent political entity no longer exists.】

【Reward: Three Random Draws, effective immediately.】

Yingzhou's pupils contracted slightly.

He glanced at Selina without changing his expression.

"Selina, I need to be alone for a while. Shut down all surveillance and forbid anyone from entering the study until I restore permissions."

Selina was slightly stunned, but she nodded quickly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Do you need me to notify Lord Lu Zhenda?"

"No need. I will see him tomorrow."

"Understood. I wish you a good night."

Selina's holographic projection dissipated, and the study lights automatically dimmed, leaving only a desk lamp and the starlight outside the window.

Yingzhou walked back to the desk and closed his eyes.

Deep within his consciousness, that familiar interface appeared once again.

【Three Random Draw opportunities】

【Use immediately?】

"Yes."

【First draw... in progress...】

【Obtained: Blood Angels Chapter, Weepers Chapter】

Yingzhou's eyebrows arched slightly.

The Weepers Chapter.

He knew this Chapter.

In the original history of Warhammer, the Lamenters were a successor chapter of the Blood Angels, famous for their tragic fate and unyielding perseverance.

They had experienced heavy losses time and time again, yet they always held fast to their Loyalty to the Emperor, even when fate was so unfair to them.

【Description: Weepers Chapter, Blood Angels successor chapter. Strength: Full strength, approximately one thousand Space Marines. Equipment: Standard Space Marine equipment, including three Cruisers, six Destroyers, and twelve fast strike craft.】

【Characteristics: Unyielding, loyal and reliable, but ill-fated.】

The corner of Yingzhou's mouth twitched; what was this characteristic trying to express? Could it be that the Lamenters' luck wouldn't improve even after coming here?

【Proceed with the second draw?】

"Continue."

The wheel spun again.

This time, Yingzhou's state of mind was a bit more relaxed than the first.

After all, the first reward was already quite good, and no matter what he drew the second time, it wouldn't be too bad.

The wheel stopped.

【Obtained: Gene Primarch (Infant), Night Lords Curze】

Yingzhou's fingers paused slightly.

Kangla De Kezi.

The master of the Night Lords, the Gene Primarch of the Eighth Legion.

In the original history, he was a figure full of contradictions and tragedy, cruel yet just, insane yet clear-headed, eventually betraying the Emperor and dying at the hands of an assassin.

But now, what appeared here was an infant Kangla De Kezi.

A Kangla De Kezi who had not yet been corrupted by the darkness of Nuositelamo.

A Kangla De Kezi who could be correctly guided and correctly educated.

【Description: Kangla De Kezi, Eighth Gene Primarch. Current status: Infant. Cultivation suggestion: Requires correct guidance and care to avoid falling into loneliness and paranoia.】

Yingzhou was silent for a few seconds.

Another Primarch.

Adding the Alpharius and Omegon he drew earlier, he already had two infant Primarchs that needed nurturing.

Alpharius was the twenty-first Primarch, Omegon, Master of the Hydra. Kangla De Kezi was the eighth Primarch, the Night Lord.

These two children, if nurtured well, would become powerful assets. If not nurtured well...

Yingzhou shook his head.

That would not happen.

This time they would become true followers of Loyalty, rather than tragic victims.

【Perform the third draw?】

"Yes."

The roulette wheel spun for the final time.

Yingzhou no longer held high expectations.

The rewards from the first two draws were already good enough; even if the third was just to make up the numbers, he could fully accept it.

The roulette wheel stopped.

【Obtained: Summoning authorization for the Vantine Aerial Guard and the Lucifer Black Guard Legion】

【Vantine Aerial Guard: The most elite airborne assault force of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance. Number: Full strength, approximately five thousand men. Equipment: Standard】

Yingzhou's eyes lit up.

The Vantine Aerial Guard.

With it, his planetary aerial combat strength had improved another step.

The Lucifer Black Guard Legion. Their strength was beyond doubt.

Adding the one thousand Lamenters Space Marines from before, plus the two infant Primarchs...

The rewards this time could be called quite generous.

Yingzhou opened his eyes and leaned back against the chair.

The study was very quiet, with only the sound of the wind outside the window and the occasional cry of a night bird in the distance.

He pondered.

The Weepers Chapter.

They could be incorporated into the Blood Angels sequence, or deployed independently at a strategic location.

Their Loyalty was beyond doubt, and their combat effectiveness was also trustworthy.

Kangla De Kezi.

He needed a safe environment, needed correct guidance, needed... care.

"Not bad."

He said in a low voice, his voice echoing in the empty study.

"Indeed not bad."

He stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the night sky of the Xiuluo Holy Star remained tranquil.

The distant city was brightly lit, and countless Humans were sleeping peacefully.

"The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance has just stepped onto the interstellar stage; everything has only just begun."

He turned around and walked back to the desk.

The documents on the table had all been processed and were stacked neatly together.

Tomorrow, Lu Zhenda would come to collect them and then begin a new day of busyness.
