Chapter 359 348. Who came first?
Fulgen was fully prepared for Horus' promotion to Warmaster.
The Phoenix of Chemos naturally hopes that his best friend Manus will become the Warmaster - but that is a story in the past. Now Fernus does not seem to want to become the Warmaster, so as his best friend, Fulgrim understands and respects him. s Choice.
He was also very happy to see Horus become the Warmaster. No one was more suitable than Horus. Horus was good enough, able to take into account the overall situation, and had good relations with most of the Primarchs. (Except Lion King, Curze and Corax)
Phoenix carefully prepared gifts for the Warmaster, and also thought about countless comments and countermeasures in his mind about Horus becoming the Warmaster.
Of course he knew that some primarchs would not be satisfied with this matter, and as a friend of Horus, Fulgrim would share Horus's sorrows.
After all, Phoenix thoughtfully thought that compared to the bystanders who had different reactions, Horus at the center of the incident was the one who was under the greatest pressure - he was about to bear the weight of the empire.
And Horus liked to put pressure on himself. He was always worried that he was not doing well enough to meet everyone's expectations, especially the Emperor's.
Horus still has a strong sense of responsibility, but Fulgrim appreciates this, which is why he chose to solve some of the gossip for Horus.
But...
the current situation is obviously not one of Fulgen's thousands of plans.
[Calm down, everyone, I mean calm down. ]
The silver-haired master turned his head suddenly, his hair flying,
[Today is Horus's promotion day, what are you doing? ! 】
Why does the topic deviate from Horus? And will it cause conflict? !
But obviously the slightly crazy Phoenix was not enough to suppress the two freaks. They both responded with a certain amount of contempt for the tall existence.
[I just need an explanation. ]
Mortarion's tone was calm, but the eyes under his hood revealed his burning heart.
Luo Jia opened her eyes slightly and said,
"Do you know him?" Do you recognize the being I describe? ]
[Of course I know him. I can pick out his ashes from the ashes when he turns to ashes. ]
Mortarion said impatiently,
[Then why do you know him, Lorgar? ]
[Hey, don't any of you listen to me? ! 】
Fenghuang yelled out of control, but no one paid attention to him.
The archangel shook the wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet liquid flashed. He raised the glass and drank the wine in silence.
Horus would not have wanted this to happen on this day, and Sanguinius would not allow it to ruin his best friend's mood.
Even the angel could predict what would be revealed in the words of Mortarion and Lorgar - topics that interested him enough.
Khan was still sitting, and he casually watched the archangel stand up and flutter his wings.
[I think Fulgrim is right. ]
The angel said briefly, but everyone looked at him,
[This is the day of Horus, Mortarion, Lorgar. 】
Mortarion stared closely at the angel, and he realized that his tactics were wrong.
After a long time, Mortarion's figure shook, and the Lord of Death took a small step back, his eyes sparkling,
[I'm getting impatient. 】
The Lord of Death spread his hands and sat down again, but this time, he sat next to Luojia.
Fulgrim sighed loudly in relief and exaggeration, but in a moment he would be depressed that his own light was not as bright as Sanguinius's.
Lorgar blinked in confusion. He didn't understand Mortarion's sudden malice. At the same time, Mortarion's words shocked him. Did his brother know something?
The angel looked at Mortarion thoughtfully, and
Mortarion reluctantly pulled on his hood. The cloth covered the eyes of his "brothers" looking at him.
He opened his mouth, and his hoarse voice was like a poisonous snake crossing a tombstone,
[Yes, today is the day of Horus, and other topics are not appropriate. ]
Mortarion did not look at anyone. He hid himself in the shadows and poisonous gas.
[Soon we will no longer be shouting in the name of the Emperor. Under the leadership of the great Warmaster, I think The Emperor would return to his Terra in peace. ] Everyone's blood ran cold, and the angel's face looked like a poor-quality mask.
Fulgrim took an exaggerated breath, and just when Phoenix was about to ask Mortarion what he meant, Mortarion interrupted him mercilessly, as if he had just tried to interrupt Mortarion. Same,
Mortarion said briskly, as if he was happy to say these words,
[Do you really think this is a good thing? None of us know why he suddenly went back, and this isn't a game over who is his favorite child - I don't think the liar is in the mood to play that with us. ]
Fulgen's shouting sounded together with Luojia's roar——
[Stop! Mortarion! You should know what you are talking about? ! ]
[You must not be disrespectful to God! ]
Mortarion spread his hands quite innocently. He turned to look at the silent angel and Khan. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes proved that Mortarion was smiling.
The angel and Khan had calm expressions on the contrary - rather, they were pretending, because they felt that what Mortarion said had at least some truth.
Khan does not believe in the Empire, nor does he trust the Emperor; the Angel is also extremely wary of the Emperor, and he is always worried about his legions.
Mortarion continued to speak easily. The indifferent Lord of Death had no sense of guilt for Horus at all,
[So I think it is not appropriate to talk about the Warmaster today. At least we should let Horus immerse himself in the fact that he is the Emperor. The fact that he is a good boy and those boundless powers rejoice for a while. ]
Khan took a sip of the wine, stretched out his hand, and pulled Luojia, who had just stood up and roared, to sit down.
Luojia struggled and finally sat down. He looked at Mortarion low and earnestly and said,
[He is our father, the god of mankind - you need to fear Him. I hope you take back what you just said, Mortar. Ryan. ]
Fulgrim, who was further away, shouted angrily in a low voice after hearing Luojia's words [So no one cares about Horus? ! ], and then was interrupted by an angel who handed him a glass of wine.
[Why should I fear him? ]
Mortarion said casually,
[He is our father, and then he throws us around as babies? 】
Khan took another sip of wine, and the angel silently looked away.
Luojia took a deep breath. Mortarion felt that if Luojia really believed in the emperor's words, then he was either too weak or he liked to preach too much. Otherwise, how could Luojia not rush forward and punch him?
[You can't be so short-sighted. He is the god of all mankind. This is not what you realize. Every move he makes has a more profound impact. ]
Mortarion took a sip of wine and responded sarcastically,
[What's the deep meaning? So why did he dump me on a poisonous death planet where he wanted to see his offspring suffer? Or does he really think there is something on Barbarus——]
Mortarion suddenly fell silent.
He suddenly realized with horror that the Emperor had only met two people when he first descended on Barbarus, one was him and the other was Hades.
This terrifying thought immediately extinguished all the anger, sarcasm, and joy that Mortarion had just felt. He was suspended in this terrifying thought as if he was weightless.
So... was Hades noticed by the Emperor from the very beginning? It's just that he was immersed in anger at the time and didn't realize it.
Mortarion began to dig into his memories, and he realized that the Emperor had been in contact with Hades long before Hades became a Space Marine, and told Hades that even Mortarion didn't know Information.
So, before Hades became the commander of the Death Guard,
Mortarion didn't dare to think about it anymore. For the first time, he expected the Emperor to be a liar, rather than some omniscient and omnipotent existence.
Luojia watched in astonishment as Mortarion withered like a withered grass. He hadn't even begun to formally comfort him,
"You know your fault against him, brother?" ]
[No,]
Mortarion said dullly,
[tell me about him you saw - and his "extension of consciousness." 】
He heard the sound of angels or Fulgen tasting wine behind him.
