"The Second Empire? What is that?" Laine was not familiar with it, he furrowed his brow and cast an inquiring glance at Angerong. "Brother?"
"The Second Empire?" Angerong stroked his chin. "Seems like during the Horus Heresy, Kiliman teamed up with Zhuangsen and Saint Gile, intending to preserve the fire of civilization for humanity. They proposed Saint Gile as the new Emperor, Zhuangsen as the Warmaster, Kiliman himself as the Regent, and even prepared the Star Torch... However, many things happened afterwards that led to the Second Empire not being established and dying before birth, Saint Gile died in battle, Zhuangsen fell into slumber... I am not very clear about what happened in between."
