Chapter 1012 The Inevitable Battle

Guilliman entered his private bedroom in the Stone Fortress, and he saw Qin Mo standing in front of the window of the bedroom with his back to him.

Although he knew that this figure was just a virtual image and the real person was thousands of light years away, Guilliman still greeted him enthusiastically as always.

But when Guilliman tried to hug this projection, Qin Mo turned around with a deep look and a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Guilliman asked after a pause.

"It's inevitable." Qin Mo said, "The war between us and the dead."

Guilliman was stunned again, wondering why Qin Mo suddenly said this to him so confidently.

Then Qin Mo told him all his previous experiences.

From the time he led the Star Gods to find the fragments, to the war with Menak after awakening the Kasa Dynasty, to the conversation with the Silent King Szalak, and Szalak's overall plan.

After listening, Guilliman sat on the steps with his hand on his forehead.

Then the Primarch put his legs together, wrapped his arms around his legs, and sat there with his back bent.

He looked well-behaved, but this was actually a manifestation of his heavy mood and sudden lack of security.

For anyone, the upcoming war with the Necrons of this level would not be something that would leave a sense of security, even for the Primarch.

"I was thinking, maybe I have a little chance to avoid the war between humans and Necrons." Qin Mo's projection sat next to Guilliman, "But I was thinking, maybe I killed the possibility of avoiding war with my own hands."

"No, that's not right. I'm too blindly optimistic, the Empire is too optimistic, how can we have the idea that the war may not necessarily start?" Guilliman thought, "Your rejection of Szahrak does not mean you have given up the possibility of avoiding war. Your idea is not wrong. It is not advisable to seek the skin of a tiger."

As he said, Guilliman stood up and paced back and forth in the bedroom, talking about his thoughts after listening to all Qin Mo's stories.

"Instead of watching the Kasa Dynasty being destroyed by Szalak and then waiting for humans to become the next target of the Kasa Dynasty, it is better for us to join forces with the Kasa Dynasty. At least we can have one more powerful ally."

"In front of Szalak, you are not wrong to stand firmly on the side of the Kasa Dynasty."

Listening to Guilliman's words, Qin Mo nodded in approval and said thankfully: "You really understand me."

"Don't mention these things to anyone else except me." Guilliman stopped and looked at Qin Mo's eyes very seriously, "Don't tell Lion, don't tell Sanguinius, don't tell Chagatai. Chagatai may be able to guess these things, but he will also be wise not to say it."

"That's why I'm talking to you about this on a private line." Qin Mo and Guilliman have the same idea.

The reason for keeping it secret is not to keep such a thing secret: the leader of another human force almost went along with the King of Silence.

What really needs to be kept secret is: if Qin Mo gives in or compromises, war between humans and the dead souls can be avoided, even if there is a high probability that this behavior of seeking the skin of a tiger can only avoid war for a very short time.

Humans have a fluke mentality and are good at compromise.

The reason why it was uncertain whether humans and the dead souls would go to war before Qin Mo contacted Guilliman was because of the fluke mentality.

Perhaps the dead souls are just awakening and will not go to war with the empire.

For most of the Supreme Lords of the High Lords Council, if there is a possibility of not going to war, they will not choose to face such a powerful opponent as the Space Necrons.

In the eyes of Qin Mo and Guilliman, compromising in front of Szalak is equivalent to seeking the skin of a tiger, but in the eyes of those people, agreeing to Szalak's conditions may really avoid a full-scale war between the two races.

If what Qin Mo said is known to others, then the High Lords Council will suspect that Qin Mo is standing on the side of the Kasa Dynasty, making war inevitable.

Then there is suspicion and the spread of gossip.

Even if Talon still wants to fight the Undead together with the Human Empire in the end, the suspicions and the dissatisfaction between the two sides will lead to cracks in the cooperation.

Guilliman will not allow such a thing to happen.

"I will hold a new round of Supreme Lords meeting in the name of making the worst plan, and openly discuss the matter of all-out war with the Undead." Guilliman directly stated his plan, without treating Qin Mo as another leader of human forces. "I will try my best to promote unity across the Empire, that is, the Supreme Lords have unanimously stated publicly that once a full-scale war breaks out, the Empire will win at all costs."

Qin Mo nodded, thinking that Guilliman directly confessed all the next decisions to him, and he got the intelligence that Talon's intelligence department might have to work hard to obtain, which means that Guilliman is not sure now and needs another person to help him with his advice.

There is no need to know anything about the terrible things such as the World Engine and the Death Mark Killer.

There is no need to have a clear understanding of the various witchcraft-level technologies of the Undead.

It only takes one person to know that the Necrons once exterminated the Old Ones, the dominant race of the universe that shaped the Orcs and the Eldar, and then shattered almost all the Star Gods. Now, if we want to go to war with such a race, even if the Emperor makes the decision, I am afraid he will not be sure.

"What is the probability that the Supreme Lords will unite as you said?" Qin Mo asked.

"When they don't know what you told me, they can't have any luck in their hearts, and I try my best to create an atmosphere that is bound to go to war..." Guilliman raised his head and thought for a while, then gave a definite probability value, "Nine out of ten."

"Where is the remaining 10%?" Qin Mo asked again.

"The Forge General." Guilliman lowered his head and recalled the recent situation of the Mechanicus he had seen. "The previous Forge General died eight years ago, and the new Forge General has only recently begun to be elected. I am not sure what kind of person this new Forge General will be, so I can't judge whether he supports me or not, so the difference lies in the Forge General."

"Is it possible that the new Forge General is Belisarius Kaur?" Qin Mo asked again.

Guilliman shook his head without thinking: "You know how bad Cawl's reputation is in the Mechanicus. Even if I force Cawl to be the Forge General, I can't do it."

Speaking of this, Qin Mo closed his eyes and pondered for a while. In the end, out of absolute trust in Guilliman, he decided not to ask about the new Forge General of the Mechanicus.

Even if the new Forge General opposes Guilliman, Guilliman has a way to mediate. If he can't do this, I'm afraid the regent position and power have been hollowed out long ago.

"I will go back to Terra immediately and hold a meeting." Guilliman walked to the side of the armor stand, "Wait for my good news, trust me, leave it to me."

"As long as you do anything, I won't worry at all." Qin Mo smiled and nodded, "The communication is over."
