In the World of Sword and Magic as Space Marine

The Legellan war for unification is over and William is declared a winner and sole ruler of the country once known as Legellan. After a certain victory over every noble, warlord, and previous ruler, William secured the entire nation and its territory for himself to establish a new land and order.

"I will not place myself as a king of this nation. Under the guidance of the Emperor's vision, I will establish law and order until all of us are ready to embark on a crusade back to our home. I'm William Nullinanis (Which means Null Void), Chapter Master of the Blacksouls Space Marines and Lord Imperator Fratrum (Commander of the Brothers). This country will be known as Terranovis (Land of the New) and I will be the torch that guides all of us back into Emperor's golden light" William's speech of declaration spread like wildfire as news of the newly risen nation with unstoppable military power and technologically advanced power took over the entire kingdom.

The first thing William did after returning back to the capital city was to take a long bath and take a single day off so he can spend time with Rana. Mentally exhausted, William and Rana took great comfort with each other and spend the day not as warriors but as a simple couple who recently got engaged.

They talked about what to expect from their brothers and sisters (Space Marines and Sisters of Battle) as they have a basic expectation of how each would react. For this reason, Rana proposed that they should allow a small group of people to know the truth as it will be a huge problem when the more opposing and zealous group will fight the very idea of marriage between Chapter Master of the Space Marine and Living Saint (Yes, I know and we all know how Inquisition would react).

The next day, William and Rana went back to work as there is much work to be done in a short period of time. While William focuses on the establishment of the rule and new order, Rana focused on tending to former Legellans citizens as well as helping the war orphans and victims of the war to settle down with new homes. This, of course, expanded the recruitment process for the Sisters of Battle as there were countless orphan girls who require their 'help'.

As for the boys, William didn't recruit them to the Space Marines or Astra Militarum as he wanted them to protect the land once he and his forces leave the New World. Also, since he can summon more men and women of the Imperium there was no need for an additional number of soldiers who have no idea what lasgun is or how to operate the war machine.

As for the criminals and prisoners of the war, they were given few choices. The soldiers of the old nobles and warlords were given labor jobs to rebuild or repair the cities within Terranovis with proper payment for their services. This also meant certain benefits such as health checks, medical services, proper food and nutrition, and even the option to join the new country or exile to a neighboring country.

For the officers and minor nobles prisoners, all their ranks and status of power are removed as Terranovis doesn't recognize them. Instead of throwing them away or putting them into a prison cell, William decided to test their capability and filter out who is useful and who isn't as some of the officers or nobles bought their way up with the money. After a careful process of evaluation and tests, William managed to obtain a decent number of talented people with the character of proper leadership and humanity still attached. They were given the opportunity to work as newly formed local defense officers and administrators as well as recognition from William to be one of the members of the local council.

The rejects of the screening on the other hand had a different faith. They join the war criminals, corrupted individuals who seek power and wealth as well as leaders who oppose William's truce when they were given the chance. After making sure no person cracks to slip into the cesspool of criminals, William gave them to Magos Valadus Callias of the Metalica. Close to two thousand bodies went to where Mechanicus workshop to be processed as construction servitors and other types for Mechanicus's needs. William asked Magos Callias why he requested all the death penalty prisoners and Magos simply smiled and replied back that even William felt chill in his back.

[Omnissiah teaches us not to waste resources and I have great use for them.] Said Magos Callias with excitement in his voice as he and his priests are about to get busy.

2 Weeks Later,

It took endless nights and mornings for William to establish a proper system for his people to run the nation he founded. Thanks to his enhanced body and intelligence, William managed to process all the information that his administrators and investigators gathered during his absence in the war. With additional counseling from his advisors such as honorable Brother Raduriel (Dreadnought), the 1st company captain Bolic Firehammer and the rest of the captains provided their insights and options for how to handle the structure of the foundation.

Unsurprisingly, Captain Dioricus (Formerly Ultramarines Sergeant) gave a wide range of advice and opinions as his knowledge of the Ultramar political system became a great help. One of the critical issues was how to handle visitors from the New World especially races of Elf and half Orc.

Until now, William gave orders to avoid any conflict with the Elf but their existence is something he can't push to the side. For one, there is a delegation of Elf from the great forest with messages of peace talk while William is certain that they have something up in their sleeves as Elf tend to always have a few schemes in their head. Considering that Imperium did work with Eldar during the dire situation, William decided to accept the peace talk and maintain the neutral position unless he is provoked to start a war.

Races such as Dwarf, Gnome, and Halflings are welcome as their skills for art and craftsmanship will greatly benefit the economy and trade among other countries. Considering that Imperium would see them as subhuman within the 40k universe, William had no problem when it comes to his men accepting their presence in the capital city.

Other races such as half Orc, Dragonborn, and Tiefling are not welcome inside of the city wall but they are accepted in the villages and towns that is if they follow the rules. This is because most of the adventurers are mixed race within the group and adventurers are one of the critical cogs of the economy and information. William and his Space Marines understood the basic necessities and value of the adventurers as long as they are useful to William's cause. The problem became a huge issue when the Sisters of Battle learned of this and refuse their very existence as they intend to burn everything for the sanity of purity of the human race. It took both Rana and William to convince them not to start purging with the reasoning that all the other races have some blood of humanity within them.

"Even if they are, they are nothing but a mutant and deserving of holy fire for their crime." The newly elected Sister Superior of the Our Martyred Lady stood her ground against the very idea that other races are even allowed to live on the same planet. Considering where she and her sisters are coming from, William is surprised that she didn't start the day with the daily burning of hundreds of people.

"They are not mutants but a… Abhumans. Yes, they are technically Abhumans and they are sanctioned by me to assist on our crusade back to our homeworld. Of course, they will not be allowed to enter the city wall without permission." William made an excuse at that moment to prevent mass genocide as he doesn't have time for the zealot's nonsense about killing everything in sight. He literally has a country to rebuild and find a way to mobilize a fleet of ships to leave this world once and for all.

"I understand my lord. But what about those Eldars? We must keep our eyes on them no matter what as they will turn against us." The Sister Superior points out to William in he kinda agrees with her.

"We have common ground on that subject. I will maintain the peaceful ways with the Elves but once they show any sign of betrayal or aggression, I will personally send you and your sisters to handle the matter once and for all." William's answer satisfied the Sister Superior and the matter was resolved with a few additional problems William had to go over with administrators the next day.

At the end of the second week, William assigned each company captain to rule the major cities as head representatives of the Terranovis with rules and regulations that William placed in order to have overall unity of laws. Unlike how Emperor assembled the Lords of Terra with regular humans, William made sure his battle brothers are given regions to rule the land under his name. This way, William can secure the entire country without worrying about sending reinforcement to secure the borders as it will require massive forces to fight against the company of Null Marines.

For example, the North-Eastern legion that Commissar Cain liberated and lost Necron artifact to an Alpha Legion were given to Wolf Seer and his company as their preference for the icy cold mountain is perfect for their trait as most were former Space Wolves.

[Note: Each company has battle brothers from other different chapters as William intended but to his disappointment, it is still a working progress as the majority of the companies are assembled with the same chapter.]

While this is going on, Ciaphas Cain, the Hero of the Imperium saw an opportunity to finally find a peaceful life in the Terranovis. Given the huge amounts of rewards for his service during the Legellan unification, Lord Commissar Cain finally have enough capital to build something for himself and Jurgen.

After Ciaphas Cain learned of the new policy of certain Abhman aren't allowed inside of the city wall, he bought a large land outside of the capital city and commissioned a new building for the purpose of starting a new tavern/inn for the travelers of all races. With help from the former Imperial Fist and engineers from the Astra Militarum, the 'Cain's Finest' was completed within a matter of one week and ready for business.
