At this time, Zeke was with Roboute Guilliman, preparing to go to Terra to fulfill his duties.
He didn't want to disappoint the elders of his family, but while on the battleship, he received this battle report.
Guilliman was also present, sitting opposite Zeke, but just as they were about to speak of something else, a Custodian Guard pushed the door open.
Seeing the golden-armored Custodian Guard, Guilliman didn't say anything, but then he witnessed a scene that shocked him.
The Custodian Guard knelt on one knee and said, "An urgent message has come from the Cadia Sector; a large number of demon fleets have appeared there."
Upon hearing it was just a demon fleet, Zeke didn't take the matter to heart. Instead, he waved his hand and casually said, "Just destroy them. Do I need to be informed of such news? What kind of urgent intelligence is this?"
Not only was Zeke calm, but so was Guilliman.
The Yaeger family was located in the Murky Sector, and now that the family had sent out their heir, it was clear they wouldn't stand idly by. What kind of trouble could demons stir up?
He also sat calmly, enjoying the delicious food from Zeke's side, but the Custodian Guard's next words made Zeke's jaw drop.
"Your Majesty, it's not those chaos Demons, but rather chaos Demons. A small-scale fleet of chaos Demons has appeared in the Cadia Sector."
"What did you say!?" Zeke exclaimed.
"Say it again, what appeared there? chaos Demons? The ones we encountered at Macragge!?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is those demons. A small-scale demon fleet has appeared in our universe. This might be a prelude to their invasion."
Such news couldn't help but make Zeke highly vigilant. He quickly asked, "Have any dimensional rifts been discovered? Have any extra-dimensional anchor points been found?"
Zeke eagerly wanted to verify the presence of these two things. If not, then the situation would still be within controllable limits.
After all, a small fleet of chaos Demons without reinforcements should be manageable for him now. The development of the Terran Dominion had never stopped.
With the vast resources of his family as backing, Zeke now possessed four Celestial Fortresses.
Each of these four Celestial Fortresses had four shipyards.
Due to the existence of these shipyards, Zeke's fleet production speed was incredibly fast. To date, he commanded six Titan battleships, sixty battleships, one hundred and twenty cruisers, and two hundred and forty destroyers, forming a small-scale fleet group.
This main fleet was divided into six sub-fleets by Zeke.
If measured by the combat power in Stellaris, each fleet had a combat power of over 380k.
It could be said that each fleet alone was sufficient to defeat any entire Imperial Navy from a sector. The Imperial Navy was like ants before the Dominion fleet.
The family's heritage far exceeded Zeke's expectations.
Such a heritage made Zeke exceptionally happy. Because of the family's support, Zeke's development speed was astonishing.
Without regard for cost, he already possessed fleets measured in units of 100k.
These six fleets were what Zeke planned to rely on for his upcoming Great Crusade. At the same time, battleships within the family were also being continuously produced.
Zeke had already sent the FTL engine to his family, so the family fleet had also begun producing FTL battleships of this level.
Zeke was not aware of the exact situation of the family's fleet, but he indeed had a usable fleet at his disposal.
In response to Zeke's urgent inquiry, the Custodian Guard provided an answer.
"No dimensional rifts have been discovered, nor any extra-dimensional anchor points. According to our scientists' estimations, it should be the same situation as at Macragge: they appeared in our real universe unintentionally."
The Custodian Guard's words reassured Zeke. If it was just a small demon fleet, then it was a different matter.
Zeke's continuous changes in expression caught the attention of Guilliman, who was beside him.
As the 13th Primarch of the Imperium, the true master of Macragge, and the Lord of Five Hundred worlds, he possessed extremely strong observational skills and political acumen.
After seeing Zeke's continually changing expression, he clearly understood that something had appeared.
Moreover, the enemy seemed to be causing trouble for the heir of the Yaeger family, who was before him. For the powerful Yaeger family to feel troubled, it must be a formidable enemy.
After all, Guilliman knew full well how powerful the Yaeger family once was.
Even the ork Empire, which required the Emperor himself to lead a Great Crusade to defeat, was insignificant in front of the former Yaeger family.
During that Great Crusade, the Yaeger family dispatched two expeditionary fleets to assist the Emperor in battle.
The ork legions were like weak chickens to be slaughtered in front of the Yaeger family.
Now, who could be the enemy that made even this powerful family feel a bit troubled?
Guilliman was inclined to ask Zeke what kind of opponent he had encountered, but at this moment, Zeke spoke first, asking again,
"Have our probes determined the combat power of that demon fleet?"
Combat power isn't everything, but in many cases, it can provide a reference value.
At least it prevents using a weak fleet to directly confront an enemy dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times stronger.
"According to the patrol fleet you dispatched, the combat power of this Warp Demon fleet should be around 1.6M."
...The Custodian Guard's answer made Zeke even more displeased.
"Sigh... Where did these demons come from? If I knew who was behind this, I would never let that guy off."
"Transmit the message to all fleet commanders. Order our expeditionary fleets to return immediately. The six expeditionary fleets are to proceed to Cadia at once. Also, send a message to the family, asking them to dispatch fleets to prepare to meet the enemy. We must use the strongest force to annihilate those demons in one fell swoop."
"They must be annihilated! We absolutely cannot allow them to build extra-dimensional anchor points in our world and summon more demons. Destroy them all, wipe them out completely!"
Zeke's killing intent erupted, making everyone on the battleship feel a hellish cold, and the Custodian Guard immediately withdrew to relay Zeke's orders.
A murderous aura, truly murderous. How did the demons appear in this universe? This matter must be clarified.
It wasn't until Zeke had reined in his aura that Guilliman returned from the furthest corner of the room to the table where he was with Zeke.
When Zeke had just unconsciously emanated that killing intent, the 13th Primarch of the Imperium had also struggled to withstand it, being forced to retreat to the furthest corner of the room.
An unawakened Primarch clearly couldn't handle such a thing.
