Chapter 108 - Stellaris daemons

It was clear that Guilliman at this moment very much wanted to know why Zeke had been so furious just now, what kind of enemy he had encountered to make him so intensely angry.

So he asked,

"What are these daemons you were just discussing?

Are they those daemons of the Warp? Why would they make you so angry?

Given the military strength of House Yaeger, they shouldn't be afraid of Warp daemon, should they?"

In Guilliman's mind, the only beings called daemons were those from the Warp.

But he couldn't understand why the heir of House Yaeger would react this way to Warp daemon.

Hearing the Primarch's question, Zeke raised his head and glanced at Guilliman.

He was considering whether to tell Guilliman about the extra-dimensional daemon, so he could mobilize the Imperium of Man to prepare for battle.

Guilliman naturally saw that Zeke was thinking, so he didn't interrupt him again, but waited for Zeke to finish his thoughts.

Zeke didn't ponder for too long; just a few minutes later, he made his decision.

Let Guilliman know. This kind of thing can't be hidden forever.

When extra-dimensional daemons truly appear in this universe, the Imperium of Man won't fare well either.

Although from the current situation, it's almost impossible for the Imperium of Man to play any significant role in such a war.

But they still have the right to know, so Zeke chose to share this news with Guilliman.

Zeke began to share the news of the extra-dimensional daemons with Guilliman, while at the same time, House Yaeger also received news that their family fleet had been attacked by a mysterious force, and they also received a message from Zeke's fleet.

Grisha stared intently at the Custodes, his son's Custodes, who had come to deliver the message.

A regiment of Custodes, totaling 5,000 men, was directly stationed on House Yaeger's knight planet. These were left by Zeke to protect his parents.

The Ten Thousand Strong Custodes Regiment was no longer just the initial 10,000 men; they had undergone some minor expansion.

10,000 men followed Zeke, while 5,000 were stationed on House Yaeger's knight planet, responsible for guarding the safety of Grisha and his wife, as well as Zeke's other relatives and friends in House Yaeger.

Under normal circumstances, these Custodes would not leave their station arbitrarily.

However, when Zeke had a message to convey but couldn't contact his parents himself, these Custodes would act as messengers.

"Repeat what you just said. Are you saying my son wants you to tell me that the family fleet needs to be dispatched to fight alongside his fleet to eliminate the daemons that have appeared in the Cadia Sector?"

"What are extra-dimensional daemons? Are they those Warp daemons?

No.

Impossible.

Since my son said extra-dimensional daemons, it absolutely can't be those guys. Those guys.

My son always seems to refer to those Warp daemon with just two words: 'Scum.'"

Although Grisha was questioning the Custodes, he directly answered his own question in a soliloquy.

"Are you sure my son wants you to return and inform me to dispatch all of the family's fleets!?"

Facing Grisha, the Custodes remained respectful, because this was not just anyone; this was the Emperor's father, and the respect due to a Grand Emperor must be maintained.

"Yes, Your Majesty's meaning is such. He sent me to inform you."

The Custodes did not directly refer to Zeke as Emperor in front of Grisha, nor did he refer to Grisha as Grand Emperor, because this was Zeke's order; he did not want to expose his identity as the Emperor.

So, in front of anyone other than those from the Dominion, the Dominion army generally referred to Zeke as 'Your Majesty.'

Grisha didn't mind the Custodes in front of him calling his son 'Your Majesty'; after all, he knew his own son.

If he could create the Custodes, what was wrong with being called 'Your Majesty'?

He's my son, isn't it fine for him to let his subordinates call him whatever he wants?

It doesn't matter, that's not the point. The biggest point was his son's command to dispatch all of the family's fleets.

"Are you sure Xiao Ezekiel said that? The family's fleet isn't so easy to dispatch.

Can you contact my son? If so, I need to contact him now to confirm the urgency of the matter, otherwise, arbitrarily dispatching the family fleet could lead to disaster."

Although Grisha really wanted to directly order House Yaeger's fleet to act according to his son's instructions.

But once House Yaeger began to move, those necrons, whose brains had been ruined by sleep, would definitely have an overreaction.

House Yaeger did not want to start a major war with the necrons in the Segmentum Obscurus so early, at least not before repelling the threat of the tyranids.

"Yes, we have equipment to contact the Emperor. Please wait a moment; I will contact the Emperor now."

Regarding Grisha's command, the Custodes didn't even think, choosing directly to obey the order, after all, this was the Emperor's father.

A communication was sent directly from House Yaeger's knight planet to Zeke, who was almost arriving at Terra.

Zeke, who was currently explaining what extra-dimensional daemons were to Guilliman, received a communication from his father.

"Wait a moment, my father needs me for something. I need to talk to him first.

As for the extra-dimensional daemons, it's what I just told you. Digest it for now, and I'll give a comprehensive explanation later."

Zeke said this to Guilliman, who was beside him.

At this moment, Guilliman was still immersed in the content Zeke had told him. What are extra-dimensional daemons?

These daemons are extra-dimensional beings; they possess advanced technology and powerful fleets.

They view the sentient beings in the galaxy as mere prey. Zeke had just told him these things. As for other details, Zeke hadn't had time to say; he had only told him that the daemons were powerful.

So powerful that they must be met with full vigilance.

Although the information was only this much, this small amount of information was already enough for Guilliman to calmly and thoroughly consider how great the threat of the extra-dimensional daemons truly was.

Now that Zeke was about to talk to his father, Guilliman naturally couldn't continue to interrupt.

Instead, he spoke politely,

"Since your father wishes to speak with you, please speak with your father first. I can wait."

House Yaeger had sent warships shortly after his revival; this was a favor, and Guilliman acknowledged it.

Moreover, every House Head of House Yaeger held a position higher than that of a Primarch.

During the Great Crusade, only Malcador, the Sigillite, and his father, the Emperor, could speak with House Yaeger Head on equal terms.

Seeing Guilliman's understanding, Zeke said nothing more, but immediately connected the communication with his father.

What appeared in the communication was Grisha's serious and stern face.
