Chapter 196 188. No one can refuse Horus
an order from Terra, letting Horus know that he will lead his legion to fight together with the Death Guard of the Fourteenth Legion.
Horus didn't care much about this world that was about to be captured. This planet colonized by humans had issued a surrender application to the Empire a while ago, but since the spacecraft sent by the Empire to this planet had lost contact, so Will choose to let the legion come over.
According to the last information transmitted from the Empire's spacecraft, the planet seemed to be disturbed by some kind of psychic alien, and the reason given by the Empire for sending troops was that the Death Guard existed to "target" this situation.
The summons came directly from Malcador, making the terms in this area very vague. Horus could not judge from these few lines what kind of situation the Death Guard could "target".
But just like Horus thought before, he didn't care about this. The warriors of the two legions were enough to easily wipe out all of this. Compared with this planet, Horus obviously cared more about this brother who had just joined the empire. .
Generally, the returning Primarch brothers will be led by Horus to integrate into the Empire. Regarding Mortarion, Horus learned that he would be the one to lead him, but for some reason, Regent Malcador was among the brothers. He had a foot in the friendship between them and took away the power that originally belonged to him.
This was not a good start, and cunning mortal psykers had no place in their affairs.
Horus should have been the one to welcome their brothers into the Imperium, and as the first Primarch to be recovered, it was hoped that he would be the one to welcome his brothers.
From the few words spoken by the other brothers before, Horus had already pieced together a broken image of his new brother.
Coming from an inaccessible death planet, he is not good at words, does not care about his appearance, values his children, and has a different kind of passion for death.
The Wolf Shepherd, who was experienced in diplomacy, certainly knew how to welcome such a brother, so he stood here, standing where he could first see his brother after the shuttle door opened. The light hit him perfectly, for Horus' The armor was plated with gold.
"Brother, welcome!"
Horus stepped forward to welcome Mortarion and looked at his brother.
Mortarion looked tall and haggard, his bone-white and moss-green armor was dull, and the only outlines of his copper-gold armor were blurred by the poisonous gas. His only decorations were those that were pouring out. Poisonous incense burners, and the poisonous gas in those incense burners, combined with the respirator, covered his brother's face.
He should be present at the funeral, Horus thought inopportunely.
Perhaps the poisonous gas floating around Mortarion made the other brothers have a bad impression of him, but Horus ignored those unpleasant episodes. He walked over and naturally gave Mortarion a welcoming hug. , and shook Mortarion's hand in a friendly way.
Horus happily ignored Mortarion's stiffness when Horus hugged him. Perhaps the distance just now was too close for this less social brother, which made Mortarion stiff as if A piece of dead wood.
"I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time, brother."
Horus said warmly, while holding Mortarion's right hand that he wanted to withdraw subconsciously,
"Introduce yourself, Horus Luperkar. , the Wolf Shepherd of the Sixteenth Legion, the Luna Wolves."
His tall brother paused, and then said in an almost whispering voice,
"Mortarion, Lord of Barbarus, Death of the Fourteenth Legion The Pale King of Guards."
Horus patted Mortarion's shoulder armor in a friendly manner,
"I heard about the two battles you led the Death Guard. From my own perspective, I am happy to let you The Silver Moon Wolf cooperates with the Death Guard, and the next battle will be a pleasant cooperation."
Mortarion nodded slowly, and just as he hesitated to speak, Horus continued.
"Before we wait for the advance team to come back, we can get more familiar with each other. I'm glad that no Malcador will bother us this time."
Even through the poisonous mist, Horus could feel Mortarion's doubts, but To be honest, the poisonous mist on this brother's body made even Horus, the original body, feel a little unable to withstand it.
".What do you mean?"
"Originally, the empire asked me to welcome you, but Malcador intervened in the process. None of our brothers was led by Malcador, which makes me a little curious." Then
Horus Smiling slyly, as if he was asking about his brother's little secret,
"How does it feel to be led by Malcador, brother?"
Mortarion chewed on the days when he was under the control of psykers and spoke slowly. ,
".It sucks."
Hearing Mortarion's words, Horus laughed and patted Mortarion hard,
"I'm glad we have a common topic about this."
Horus As he spoke, Si pulled Mortarion out of the shuttle ship. Mortarion's Deathshrouds followed their original body closely after seeing this.
Horus glanced inadvertently and saw the Space Marine who was obviously larger than the other death shrouds.
"This is your escort? What are their names, brother?"
"Death Shroud."
"A very good name. It seems that we have the same interest in the topic of death." "
Then I think this should be Hades, right?"
Mortarion blinked in surprise, waking up from the rhythm of being led by Horus just now. He looked at Horus,
"Haha, my brother, your heir. But he is quite famous. Whether it is among the technical sergeants of Mars or among the brothers who have been in contact with you."
For the legion he wants to cooperate with, Horus will certainly not just collect information about Mortarion. He will also collect information about Mortarion from many places. In the information, the death guard named Hades appears very frequently.
And Hades, who was mentioned by Horus, has been down. Just now, Horus's fluent combination of words and body language made Hades stunned. Coupled with Horus' perfect amiable smile, After a set of operations, not to mention Mortarion, even Hades who was watching was confused.
Horus, with the bonus of the light of the original body, was simply glowing outside. For the first time, Hades knew that the smile had its own dizzy special effect. Coupled with Horus's eyes that looked quite sincere,
Horus Already like this, Hades could no longer imagine seeing the angel Sanguinius.
Compared to the Faenus, Vulcan and Perturabo that Hades had seen before, the current Horus was simply awesome in appearance and treatment.
It is also the existence of primarchs such as Horus and the Wolf Shepherd that makes the people of the empire have great respect and awe for the leaders of these legions.
Hades was still impressed by Horus' conversational skills, and then he was horrified to discover that the topic suddenly turned to him now? !
Since Mortarion and Hades didn't have much contact with other legions, they didn't know much about it. In fact, in addition to the original body, each legion also had one or two extremely outstanding soldiers. These people were also friends of the original body. Good object.
"Of course, I also have excellent warriors here."
Horus was chatting about home affairs while leading the Death Guard through the welcoming corridor composed of Luna Wolves.
"Abaddon."
Horus turned and called a tall black-armored warrior over. Abaddon trotted out like a arrogant gray wolf, his braid swaying like a sleek wolf tail.
"My chief captain, Ezekiel Abaddon, I think the two of you may have something in common."
Horus looked at Hades friendly. This was the first time Hades faced a normal handsome man. With a smile that was full of physical charm, Hades felt as if he had eaten a flash bomb, and his thinking was obviously stagnant for a moment - it is
not impossible to be a Luna Wolf.
Abaddon, who came over, also shouted. Dis smiled friendly. In the Luna Wolves, warriors with faces similar to those of the original body are called the Sons of Horus. Abaddon and Horus have similar faces and similar smiles, which successfully put Hades into a trance. One millisecond.
Due to the height difference, from Hades's perspective, what was facing him was Abaddon's dangling braid.
Hades was forced into trance again for a millisecond.
Since Hades's social ability is slow-burning and late-strike, Hades said he couldn't resist the Luna Wolf's fast-attack style.
So Horus dragged Mortarion, and Abaddon dragged Hades. The unarticulate Death Guard was dealt a heavy blow by the Luna Wolves with full diplomacy points, and was successfully defeated today.
Trivia: Before Horus became the Warmaster, the only person who clearly opposed Horus in the original work was Crow King Krax, and that was after Horus asked him to send a wave of Crow Guards.
