"As the supreme ruler of the empire, I grant you the title of War Marshal!"
War... War Marshal?
This...this, this, this is a taboo word!
Not only were all the people present stunned, even Chang Wei was also surprised by this.
Because it was the rebellion of his favorite son, Warmaster Horus, that led to the Emperor being seriously injured and near death, and ultimately sitting on the Golden Throne for more than 10,000 years! As well as the development of the Empire, it gradually deviated from its original intention!
Chang Wei didn't know the price the Emperor had paid to perform this miracle, nor what kind of mentality he had in mind when he mentioned this word that caused him so much pain. But Chang Wei knew that at this moment, he was carrying the Emperor's expectations for tens of thousands of years and shouldering the responsibility of saving the universe and all mankind.
Even without the promise of the system and the emperor, Chang Wei would not let them down!
Immediately, a raging fire seemed to ignite in Chang Wei's heart, and with the help of "high-tech" auxiliary amplification, he issued a loud declaration.
"I, Chang Wei, will live up to the title of Warmaster! I will become the sharp blade in the Emperor's hands, slaying all enemies of humanity!"
"I will lead my army to conquer all directions, clear the world, drive out the enemy, and quell the chaos."
"No matter how fierce and brutal the enemy is, I will crush all who stand in my way with the force of thunder!"
"I swear to maintain the prosperity and peace of the human empire and prevent the people of the empire from being invaded by aliens!"
"I will be loyal to humanity, loyal to the Empire, and accomplish great things! I will establish a heart for heaven and earth, a destiny for the people, promote science for civilization, and bring peace to Wansheng!"
"Spill blood and sweat, forge courage and determination! Listen to the roars and shouts, witness glory and legend!"
"Let tragedy become history, and let songs of praise write the eternal spirit!"
"I! Will definitely fulfill my mission!!!"
I speak boldly and with true ambition. I sharpen my wings to ride the wind, and the path of the stars will shine upon me. I forge ahead with determination, and my dreams will come true. I chase the light and gallop towards success, and the Emperor has bestowed upon me greatness! (Author's fabrication)
Crash! Boom! As soon as the words fell, a golden sword fell from the sky and landed steadily in front of Chang Wei.
Before everyone could recover from the passionate words just now, they heard the emperor once again issue an extremely majestic and grand decree.
"I am deeply gratified by your resolve. I now bestow upon you my precious sword, which you can use to slay the enemy in battle, or to command my ministers. Wield this sword as if I were present in person. Slay traitors, treacherous villains, enemies, and bandits alike! I hope you will make good use of it and swiftly fulfill our great aspirations! I will be with you!!!"
This...this is...the "Emperor's Sword"?
Chang Wei's pupils widened, his face full of disbelief, and his mind instantly recalled the introduction of the "Emperor's Sword".
The Emperor's Sword is a divine weapon engulfed in psychic flames, forged by the Emperor using the science and technology of the Warp. This weapon is the nemesis of all Chaos forces, and only the mightiest of daemons can withstand its power, lest they be reduced to ash by its deadly flames.
Under the Emperor's expert control, this divine weapon incinerated thousands of Daemon creatures during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. At the end of the Heresy, the Emperor used it to claim Horus' life. However, the Emperor was mortally wounded in the final battle with his traitorous son and was forced to sit on the Golden Throne. As for the divine weapon itself, it was sheathed and rested on the Emperor's lap, silently guarding Humanity alongside its master.
It was not until Guilliman was reborn that he obtained the Emperor's weapon and used its power to save the human empire once again, staging a return of the Primarch and the rise of the king.
In other words, Chang Wei intercepted Guilliman's opportunity and took away the "Sword of the Emperor" that should have belonged to him while he was seriously injured by the Chaos Demon and was still in a deep sleep in Matrag!
Chang Wei knew what this sword represented. In the original world of Warhammer 40K, the "Emperor's Sword" represented: the last hope of mankind!
The Emperor was supposed to have placed his last hope in Guilliman's hands, but now he had given it to himself. This trust and kindness truly exceeded Chang Wei's expectations and deeply touched him.
Chang Wei's eyes were as sharp as torches. He slowly stood up and pulled out the "Emperor's Sword" from the steps in front of him.
The moment he drew out the "Emperor's Sword", his whole body instantly emanated brilliant golden light, like a saint, so dazzling that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Chang Wei himself also felt a powerful force permeating his body, as if he had endless strength.
[Is this the extraordinary? Is this the power that comes with being blessed by the Emperor?]
Chang Wei closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then quickly came back to his senses. Because he was still in the square, countless eyes were watching him.
Under the blessing of the golden light and the flaming giant sword, his figure was as majestic as a star. The aura he exuded was like a mountain rising from the ground, reaching the sky!
He looked at everything around him, his eyes sweeping across the faces of countless people. Then he pointed his sword at the sky and issued another resounding declaration!
"I am Warmaster Chang Wei! Obeying the Emperor's will, I have come here to wield my weapons and command the armies!"
"The universe's landscape changes from this moment on! The empire's vision is written by you and me together!"
"A new expedition is about to begin! I will personally lead the army and conquer the entire galaxy!"
"Holding the Emperor's sword, I am like the Emperor himself. You follow me as if you were following the Emperor!"
"Let me ask you! What are you going to do?"
The next second, countless imperial soldiers, cans, and combat nuns burst into loud shouts.
"Serve the Emperor till death, and dare to seek a peaceful and cowardly life."
"Only the emperor is the guide, and we should follow his example."
“Even if I have nothing, I can still sacrifice my life.”
"The torch illuminates the emperor's will and destroys the monsters."
Their voices, loud and solemn, resounded like thunder across the Forum, and their actions were so impassioned and monumental that it seemed as if the very world itself trembled at the Emperor's will.
Especially Chang Wei's words, which made them feel a strong sense of belonging, and they were willing to immediately sacrifice their lives for the empire and contribute their own strength to the future of mankind.
Even the Light Chasers crew members who were always paying attention to the developments here were all staring at the live broadcast screen, looking at the tall and majestic figure, their hearts filled with immense excitement.
This is the supreme commander of the fleet they serve, a great idealist full of charisma and humanity!
I am very lucky to meet such a system host...
May the glory of mankind last forever!
