Chapter 279: The First Millennium of Hogg's Humiliation (3k+)
120.M31,

Renewing the Glory: With Guilliman's concession, the nobles agreed to suspend the expedition, and due to disagreements on political orders, Archon Emilia announced her resignation.

But after nearly a hundred years of recuperation, the Human Empire has recovered to the level of the middle of the Great Crusade, and everyone believes that this is an era of revival.

121.M31,

A rebellion broke out on the Dark Angels' home planet Caliban. A large number of Chaos Daemons descended on the planet and forcibly abducted nearly 723 Dark Angels.

According to the written report of Primarch Lion Sang-Sen, all the above missing Space Marines are confirmed as missing.

122.M31,

The only remaining Archon, Lady Euton, fell ill due to overwork in government affairs, ending her century-long political career. After a night of conversation with her adopted son Guilliman, she chose to return to Macragge.

But according to Blackwatch gossip, when Lady Euden returned, some veteran Ultramarines chose to leave the Legion and follow her back to Macragge.

203.M31,

Assassination of the God-Emperor: The Dark Eldar raid Terra via the Lunar Webway and storm the Imperial Palace.

When they were about to assassinate the Emperor, Malphite led the fel orcs out of the abandoned Webway and joined forces with the Ultramarines and the Imperial Fists to destroy the aliens.

After the battle, after Malcador interrogated the Eldar prophet, he learned that the Dark Eldar did this because they predicted that the Emperor would destroy the Dark Eldar in the future and they were preparing to assassinate them first.

In order to deal with the counterattack of the Dark Eldar, the evil orc leader Malphite was appointed as the sub-human warmaster and stationed inside the Webway.

234.M31,

With the permission of Guilliman, the Space Wolves were stationed on Holy Terra, but as the Sixth Legion moved in, a large number of human nobles were shot in the back and died.

As everyone was in danger, Leman Russ was held responsible, but the Wolf King insisted that these "Imperial heroes" committed suicide and the Space Wolves were not responsible.

After a large number of nobles were forced to commit suicide, Guilliman, who could no longer tolerate it, repatriated the Space Wolves and chose the most stable First Legion to take turns on defense.

After receiving the appointment, the Lion King was overjoyed. It took him less than three Terran days to arrive in person with all the Dark Angels.

He rebuked Leman Russ on the spot for not being worthy of a demigod, which led to the wholehearted welcome of the High Lords, who held a month-long welcome celebration for the Dark Angels.

244.M31,

Doomsday: After ten years of running-in with the First Legion, Guilliman personally led the Ultramarines on the Second Expedition, gradually heading towards the hazy star region that had been lost for many years.

He handed over the affairs of the empire to Leon Jonson, and asked two leaders of the state religion to assist him.

But when the Ultramarines left Terra, a sudden and short-lived Warp storm swept across the Solar Segmentum.

After a full year of uncertainty about life and death, the warp storm dissipated and the Solar Sector returned to the Empire's sight.

The war-torn Jonson was hugged by Guilliman, who rushed to Terra, and burst into tears under the live broadcast of the Kara network, crying:
"Brother, I am incompetent! I failed to protect the legacy you entrusted to me, but fortunately, the Council helped me.

Although they all died, with everyone's joint efforts, we still defeated the rebels and waited for your support. "

At this time, the demigod's painful and sad face had been broadcast throughout the galaxy. Guilliman had no choice but to let the First Legion rest and begin to rebuild the solar system.

245.M31,

After confirmation by Sanguinius and Lorgar, the incident was classified as a Chaos invasion, and a large number of documents considered to be "contaminated" were destroyed.

In the same year, Malcador the Scepter fell into a deep sleep.

However, according to the exploration of the Ultramarines, there is no chaos left in the Solar Sector, only a large amount of traces of psionic use. When the Legion's think tank was preparing to summon the souls of the nobles, they found that the souls had disappeared.

All of the above were organized into documents and submitted to the Regent in written form, but they were intercepted by the Assassin's Court on the way and secretly destroyed.

Those who were aware of the situation were also assassinated by some suspicious individuals wearing hoods and who looked like Space Marines.

289.M31,

Perturabo, the Primarch of the Iron Warriors, discovered the suspected traces of the missing Primarch Magnus in the Nebulous Segmentum, and personally took half of his descendants into the Warp, and then disappeared.

Only a faint psychic transmission was intercepted, and after translation, it was vaguely heard as the roar of the demigod:

"My name is Perturabo, and I am made of steel, both inside and out."

In order to find the missing brothers, a cleansing of the dark side of the empire began, and the various legions began a counterattack that lasted nearly fifty years.

Among them, Blackwatch returned to its old business and accumulated a huge amount of supplies again over the past fifty years.

350.M31,

The Dark Side Crusade ended, and several legions successfully joined together. After conquering the remaining planets, the Empire still found no trace of the missing Primarch Perturabo.

The Primarchs returned empty-handed and could only gather in Alicia again. Lady Euden also came here specially and was regarded as a mother by many demigods.

During the years in Alicia, the Primarchs had a rare period of leisure time.

467.M31,

There was peace in the empire, and most of the legions had finally returned to their size before the Great Crusade. People respected these imperial angels more and more.

And as the state religion became prevalent, the original title of Space Marine was gradually replaced by Astartes.

And because this year is the Black Watch's guard over Terra, the formerly closed palace is allowed to open for the first time, and any citizen of the empire, by paying 1314 throne coins, will have the opportunity to see the true face of the God-Emperor.

However, due to the citizens' fanatical belief, tickets are hard to come by, so most people can only choose to try their luck with the White Scars Legion who scalp tickets.

(According to gossip, this White Scar ticket scalper named Ulanbarsi Narisong is in cahoots with Captain Karis of the Blackwatch 7th Company.)
503.M31,

Day of Destruction: A huge explosion occurred on the Blackwatch home planet Alicia, and a huge psionic flash swept across the galaxy, severely affecting nearby star regions.

The veil within the star sector was completely shattered, countless Warp creatures were corrupted by psionic energy, and the Burning Legion came into the sight of the Empire.

Robert Guilliman led the Ultramarines to investigate, but was expelled from the Black Watch. The Primarch himself was seriously injured by Shafrin and had to be placed in the Dreadnought for recuperation. Since the day of destruction, some Black Light believers have claimed to have seen miracles, but they did not attract much attention.

However, the originally blood-red psionic energy began to fade gradually and turned towards purple-red.

In the same year, a Chaos force called the Black Legion emerged, led by Abaddon, a member of the rebellious Luna Wolves.

This rebel leader, together with the former Council of Four Kings, raised a large number of Chaos Demon Army, and launched the slogan of "Burn the Galaxy, Slaughter the False Emperor" on the Kara network.

504.M31,

Second Founding: To ensure that the tragedy of the Heresy would not happen again, at Guilliman's instruction, the original Legion was split into Chapters.

Among them, the parent group can retain a size of 50,000 people, and the remaining battle groups must not exceed 1,000 people.

Guilliman also promulgated the Codex Astartes, which detailed a series of indicators for the chapter and tactical methods for dealing with different situations.

506.M31,

The Primarchs met again and a fierce argument broke out over the Second Founding of the Army. Even the Imperial Guards on duty outside could hear the curses of these descendants of the Emperor.

But in the end, Guilliman's decree was forcibly passed. Starting with the Ultramarines, the originally huge legion was split up, and the era of the large legion ended.

Only the initial group led by the Primarch himself still retains a size of 50,000 people, but a initial group of 50,000 people no longer has the ability to make the final decision.

507.M31,

Under Guilliman's personal supervision, the second-largest group, Blackwatch, was split up, bringing an end to the original 11-strong group of Cloaked Roaches.

Since then, Black Watch broke with the Ultramarines, and Legion Commander Lynn even declared that Guilliman was a traitor and it was his evil ambition that led to the disappearance of the Primarch.

542.M31,

Legitimacy Struggle: The Forge World of Reza breaks with Mars, and a physical exchange takes place over the Om Messiah itself, which turns into civil strife.

In the end, they gave up after Riza ceded land, paid compensation, and handed over their proud plasma technology.

But after the war, Reza's Forge World fell directly into Alicia's arms.

566.M31,

Re-establish the Parliament; Guilliman once again formed the Council of High Lords, and the government affairs that were originally completely controlled by the Ultramarines began to be gradually delegated to mortals.

At the same time, he prepared for the third expedition to the Ultramarine, but this time Guilliman did not station the First Legion there, but chose the Death Guard instead.

577.M31,

First Crusade: Seeing that the High Lords' Council was on the right track, Guilliman and Rogal Dorn led the two founding groups to assemble and leave the Solar Segmentum.

But at Guilliman's request, Black Watch refused to undertake the transport mission again, and only sent a sub-group called "Black Crows" to participate.

And the Black Crow Regiment has exactly 1001 members.

600.M31,

Malcador awakens in secret.

601.M31,

Second invasion: The Solar Segment, which had been peaceful before, suffered another brief baptism of the Warp Storm. The expeditionary force began to return to defend Terra.

But after waiting outside the storm for another year, when Guilliman returned to Terra, Mortarion, who had stayed behind in Terra, hugged him with flames all over his body.

Under Alpha's live commentary, Lord Barbarus said with a look of regret:

"Brother, I'm sorry! I didn't expect this Chaos Demon to be so powerful that it actually conquered Mars. If it weren't for the help of the Forge General, Terra would have been doomed.

Although only one in ten of the Martian Mechanicus survived, I finally managed to survive."

Looking at Alpha who was broadcasting live in front of him, Mortarion also took the opportunity to promote his own legion, promising that as long as they joined the Death Guard, the food would be much better.

In desperation, Guilliman had to let his brothers go down to recuperate, and let the Imperial Fists rebuild the solar system.

That same year, Malcador once again fell into secret sleep.

602.M31,

Fallen Angels: During the Imperial Fists' reconstruction, they discovered that Mars had extensive traces of plasma residue and no Chaos contamination at all.

And because of the high temperature properties of plasma, it was impossible for the think tank to search the soul and extract intelligence, so they had to summarize the information and report it to the original body in written form.

However, this report was secretly intercepted by the Assassin's Court. A group of hooded men with double guns and swords on their backs attacked and assassinated those who knew the truth.

After the war, a piece of flesh and blood was tested and compared, and it was discovered that this group of rebellious Astartes were the descendants of Jonson.

For this reason, Guilliman and Rogal Dorn began a four-century-long accusation, strongly demanding that Jonson hand over the murderer.

But the lion king insisted that he knew nothing about it.

999.M31,

The Golden Age: The human empire finally recovered all its lost territory, and under the guidance of the two gods, people's livelihood and technology were improved.

Everyone believed that under the leadership of the great demigod, mankind would enter a new golden age.

001.M32,

Green Tide: The Imperial Fist mother group guarding the hazy star field disappeared, and only a three-second audio clip was transmitted to the Kara network:
"Waaaagh!!!!"
