Guilliman's Terra expeditionary fleet and the fleet summoned by Zeke finally left the Warp lane and arrived at the location of Holy Terra.
The days spent in the Warp lane were, for Guilliman, incredibly stimulating, and yet, at the same time, he felt an unprecedented warmth.
His father, the Primarch, had finally started acting like a person in the Warp; he hadn't even returned to Terra yet he had already met his father and found his brother.
His brother, Rogal Dorn, had returned; now, instead of one Primarch returning, there were two.
At the same time, the Imperium of Man once again had hope, because House Yaeger had risen again.
This ancient House had once more demonstrated its power.
Now the Primarchs were no longer fighting alone; they had a powerful ally, and this ally was Zeke, who stood beside him.
This was an existence comparable to the Emperor.
In other words, with Zeke's presence, the Imperium of Man could once again launch a campaign reminiscent of the Great Crusade era.
Though we lost an Emperor, an Emperor who can only sit upon the golden throne, we have now regained a new Emperor.
This Emperor can also command the Imperium of Man to launch a Great Crusade.
This time, the Imperium of Man can finally incorporate the entire galaxy into humanity's dominion.
This was what Guilliman was thinking at the moment, but contrary to his imagination, Zeke looked distressed.
He had received new messages from scientists of the Dominion and House Yaeger.
The Tyranid Swarm's scale had grown even larger!
The entire Leviathan Tyranid Swarm was now advancing towards Zeke's colonies.
The reason was simple: the more colonies Zeke had under his control, the more food production facilities he would have to build, and the more food production facilities, the more food he would have.
Currently, Zeke had accumulated 100,000 units of food during this period.
The allure of this food was fatal to the Tyranid Swarm at this moment, so the Tyranid Swarm had now abandoned its invasion of other Imperial worlds, gathered all its main fleets, and headed towards Zeke's colonial system.
Although it would still take two years for the Tyranid Swarm to arrive, its scale had become even larger.
At this moment, Zeke was incredibly vexed.
Zeke arrived at Holy Terra under these circumstances.
When Zeke's fleet appeared at Holy Terra, the Emperor's Custodes did not react in any other way.
They uncharacteristically sent only a single communication to Zeke's battleship.
Zeke connected to this communication, and appearing in the communication was Trajan, the Captain-General of the Emperor's Custodes.
"Respected heir of House Yaeger, we have received the communication sent to us by your House's representative.
They have informed us that you are about to arrive at Holy Terra; please now proceed into the starport under our guidance."
Trajan completely ignored the two Primarchs, Guilliman and Rogal Dorn, standing beside Zeke.
These two Primarchs were simply too insignificant compared to Zeke.
At most, they were the commanders of a legion, while Zeke represented the hope of the Imperium of Man.
They were already aware of the situation on Cadia, where House Yaeger had mobilized a large-scale fleet and a mysterious legion to engage in battle.
The current galaxy's fate in war could not be decided by individual strength alone.
The involvement of House Yaeger in this war carried a much deeper significance than anything the arrival of a Primarch could accomplish.
Zeke nodded slightly, not surprised by Trajan's attitude.
Over this period, he had grown accustomed to the secrets hidden within his family.
Therefore, regarding the Emperor's Custodes' attitude towards him, he merely adjusted after an initial moment of surprise.
The fleet slowly entered the colossal starport in Terra's orbit; this space structure, having endured ten millennia of vicissitudes, still maintained an astonishing grandeur.
When Zeke's flagship docked at the central berth, a squad of gleaming Emperor's Custodes was already lined up, waiting.
Besides this squad of Emperor's Custodes, Zeke also saw a very familiar unit, a legion similar to his own father's high king's Guard.
Their decorations seemed similar to the Emperor's Custodes, except the Emperor's Custodes wore golden armor, while House Yaeger's armor was not golden.
The armor of this special unit of the House, the high king's Guard, was silver-white; the silver-white guard also stood before Zeke alongside the Emperor's Custodes.
Upon seeing Zeke, they too uniformly knelt on one knee.
These were the high lord' Guard of House Yaeger stationed on Holy Terra.
This unit was specifically responsible for protecting the high lord representatives of House Yaeger arranged on Holy Terra; their numbers, like the Emperor's Custodes, were ten thousand.
This was specially dispatched to Terra by House Yaeger after the Great Pilgrimage to prevent another incident like the Great Pilgrimage from occurring, which could lead to the unfortunate demise of the representatives sent by House Yaeger.
They would guard Terra alongside the Emperor's Custodes.
The commander of this guard was Shino Yaeger.
"Greetings, Young House Leader."
"Rise," Zeke gestured with a raised hand, his voice steady and powerful.
His noble upbringing still allowed him to maintain the demeanor expected of a great noble of the Imperium.
Shino Yaeger rose, and House Yaeger's guard following him also rose.
"Young House Leader, the High Lords Council has learned of your arrival and wishes to meet with you as soon as possible."
"Tell them to wait; I don't have time to see them right now."
At this moment, Zeke seemed to have understood the true situation of his House; after all, how could a member of the High Lords Council deploy a guard on Terra?
His House was not merely a member of the High Lords Council, but could even deploy a guard on Terra; the meaning this represented was self-evident.
"Understood, we will inform those high lord to wait."
Shino Yaeger naturally prepared to carry out Zeke's order; House Yaeger's guard stood behind Zeke, while the Emperor's Custodes, still led by Trajan, stood before Zeke.
After Zeke finished speaking with House Yaeger's guard, Trajan then spoke again.
"May I ask if you are available now? The Emperor has given us a divine oracle to bring you into the Terra Throne Room upon your arrival at Terra."
Trajan was well aware of House Yaeger's status, so he had remained silent while House Yaeger's guard and Zeke conversed.
However, now he had to fulfill his duty.
"Of course, just lead the way."
After saying this to Trajan, Zeke also turned to House Yaeger's guard behind him and said,
"You may also return to your duties for now; I will summon you when I need you."
"Understood," Shino Yaeger performed an Aquila Salute and then departed.
