Emperor's Bane

Chapter 112
[So, where are we going next, Johnson? 】

【The front line, that's where we should exist. What happened to Duran is just an episode, an extra event that I had to go for my brother. 】

[Everyone is saying that this war is coming to an end. 】

[I don't care what they say, no matter what they say, at least for now, this war is not over yet. 】

------

[Warmaster] Lying lazily in its special blanket-covered box, it looks fatter than when it was just adopted. Like a pampered king, in fact, it is indeed a king, and the [Indomitable Truth] is its natural territory.

In just a few days, the strong brain cat lady easily discerned the world it is in now: there is no doubt that the woman who exudes its favorite smell is the only owner it needs to please. Granted this territory to itself, although there is neither prey for it to hunt nor fresh water source, but its master's people, that is, its people, will send food and water to it on time every day Let it enjoy slowly.

As for the other guys, they are just some wandering people in the master's territory, except for one who looks taller and more terrifying. His status seems to be higher than the master, but he always looks serious. Exuding a breath that makes it fearful, but its owner likes to go to him very much, and hugs it almost every time.

Oh, it really breaks the cat.

But he wasn't afraid of him, he wasn't afraid of any tall, dark guys, he thought he could beat them: he just didn't want to.

In addition, there are other things in its clever head: the owner is not always with it, her territory seems to be much larger than its own, and whenever she goes to inspect the territory, there is always It will take many days to leave in one breath, during which time she will leave it in the care of her people.

It remembered two of the names: Coswayne and... Zahariel, it seemed?
Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, they are all its subjects, after all, this extremely strange, cold, hard place is already its kingdom, so everything in this kingdom should belong to it.

It lay on its own territory, watching the light constantly shining outside that strange transparent stone, watching huge spheres passing by before its eyes, and on the other side of it, its owner was talking with that Terrible guys are constantly discussing something, they always like to discuss something, and they rarely stop.

It seems that it has gradually gotten used to such days.

... boring.

[Other brothers? 】

Johnson was leaning on his chair, a few documents and star maps were randomly placed in front of him, some were important, and some were outdated, and on the other side, it was only an arm's length away from him Morgan also crossed his legs and sat on his seat.

【Yes, other brothers. 】

Her hair was a bit too long, so she simply separated them and tied them into two braids, each hanging on one side, with neat bangs connecting them. The covered blue pupils.

She stretched out her hand, embraced her Braincat, stroked it in her arms, and waited quietly for her brother's answer. She was not worried that Zhuang Sen would refuse this question, why would he refuse?
Zhuang Sen seemed to be hesitating, and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head and looked at his blood relatives.

[Which one do you want to know? 】

Morgan thought about it.

【Just from...】

[Just start with the one you know or are closest to, Zhuang Sen. 】

She spat out light words, and then...

Then the atmosphere fell into a rather strange silence.

【……except you? 】

【certainly. 】

Morgan raised her eyebrows, and she suddenly found that her unintentional words seemed to have really baffled the Primarch in front of her: Jonson's brows were tightly knit together, his pupils were constantly flickering with light, and they were constantly vetoed.

Morgan thought of a rather absurd, rather weird, but very reasonable explanation for Jonson.

【...Have you never learned about our brother, Zhuang Sen? 】

【Why do I want to know them? 】

Morgan's question made the Lion King of Caliban frown even more.

【They should understand me. After all, I am on the right path, and they are just rolling in the quagmire of their own selfish desires, wasting their talent and strength. 】

[All this time, I have tolerated all this, you know, Morgan, many Primarchs are wasting their power, which can even be regarded as a kind of disloyalty, and I have been tolerating their waste, in Caliban My experience has given me such a broad mind. 】

Morgan's lips quivered, but she didn't say anything in the end, and after being silenced by Jonson's words for a while, Morgan smiled silently.

[Perhaps you should get to know our brother, Zhuang Sen, even if it is for your personal popularity, just imagine, if you had a good relationship with Leman Russ before, Duran's incident could also be avoided. 】

The Lion King just snorted softly.

【You made the same mistake as Leman Russ, Morgan. 】

[Although my popularity is not the best among all people, after all Horus and Sanguinius are very talented in this area, but apart from them, no one's popularity can match mine. 】

【……real? 】

[As I said just now, I have always tolerated their incompetence and inefficiency generously. As long as these guys know how correct the path I am taking and how wasteful they are, those of me Brothers will understand how generous I have been all these years. 】

[I can't imagine why they hate me. 】

【…】

【…】

【……Maybe. 】

It was the first time Morgan was silent for such a long time.

------

The conversation is still going on.

Jonson reluctantly recalled his brothers. He hadn't seen all the Primarchs, at least he probably hadn't seen Magnus, and Mortarion and Lorgar had only seen them through electronic screens. hasty meeting.

In fact, completely different from what the world imagines, the emperor's heirs don't actually meet often, especially the situation where multiple primarchs are present at the same time is even rarer. After all, except for the emperor or Apart from the call of Horus, the only situation where multiple Primarchs can be gathered is when a Primarch encounters a powerful enemy that their Legion cannot solve, and has to seek the help of their brothers.

For the arrogant Primarch and Astartes fighters, it is undoubtedly a scandal to admit that they are powerless against an opponent. Therefore, few Legions will rashly ask for help, and the vastness of the galaxy does not allow the Astartes Legions always come together.

Under such circumstances, most Primarchs' impressions of their brothers are always full of prejudice and illusions, not to mention the inexplicable arrogance of these emperor's children, and their affection for blood relatives is often overwhelmed by this unconsciousness. When this expression is accepted by other Primarchs, it will carry the arrogance of other Primarchs, and eventually evolve into some extremely bad situations.

But even so, there was a certain consensus among the Emperor's children: a consensus that even Jonson recognized.

The lion of Caliban paid tribute to the archangel of Baal in the presence of his own blood, succinctly admiring his prowess but dismissing his mediocre command.

[However, although Sanguinius' command is indeed not very good, his power is the kind that can create miracles. 】

Speaking of this, Zhuang Sen's pupils shone with light.

[The war in the void is not a matter of one person. It is difficult for an individual's bravery to cause an overall change in a war of millions of people, but Sanguinius is different. He is the kind of person who can rely on him A character who turns the tide of battle with his own strength, courage and anger, it is a kind of luck to be his friend, but it is a great bad news and challenge to be his enemy. 】

Then, Jonson talked about the other brothers, emphasizing those who played a pivotal role in the great war: Horus, Guilliman, Ferrus and Dorne.

[Horus possesses a magical charm. It is hard for you to say how good his command ability is, because his real strength is not in pure command, but in always being able to win more allies with him: But this is a wrong way after all, he cares too much about what he looks like in the eyes of others, he shouldn't be like this. 】

[Horus is always obsessed with things other than the battlefield, which more or less delayed his performance in command. Although his legion seems to have a good reputation, in general: it is not as good as Ran Dan's elite. 】

[As for Guilliman, this ambitious guy is the complete opposite. Among the emperor's heirs, he is the only one who is so arrogant, dares to stick to his own country, and plots one big conspiracy after another. As ambitious as Liman was, he was waiting for the right, damn good opportunity. 】

【However, I have to admit his wisdom and ability. Just relying on his so-called five hundred worlds, he can gain the upper hand in the most tragic war. Although his command is not outstanding, it has no vital points... 】

[No, you can't say that. 】

A mysterious smile appeared on the Lion King's face.

[As for Ferrus, he is indeed an out-and-out war artist. Compared with Ferus, Perturabo is too rough and reckless, while Guilliman seems a bit petty. Horus may I can fight against him, but if the battlefield is limited to the fighting between the two legions, I don't like the Shadow Moon Wolf. 】

【Except for his own anger, I can't find Ferus's shortcomings, but in fact, even anger is his weapon. He is also an artist in fighting and fighting. Only a few people in the Primarch can compete with him. Comparable, especially when he wears his multipurpose backpack, I have seen the power of that thing, as long as he remembers to use it in battle, he is invincible. 】

【Finally, there is Dawn...】

The Lion King snorted coldly.

[I don't like him, he is like a rock, if he serves in my regiment, I will send him to guard those deadly weapons, he is suitable for this. 】

[In terms of offense, Donne is indeed very talented. He can always seize the best opportunities and weaknesses, and go into battle like the most experienced boxer: Imperial Fist, which is where the name of this legion comes from. . 】

[But this can't change his shortcomings. He is an egomaniac, a guy who is willing to ridicule all his brothers and please his father. No one likes him, and everyone thinks he is a weird person who succeeded in testing. 】

[However, I have to admit that he has outstanding abilities. He is an underappreciated master in many fields. If a war across the star field and the galaxy breaks out, Dawn is a very suitable candidate. 】

The lion king's words skipped over these best brothers, and then stayed on those brothers who were not so good or obvious.

[Fulgrim?Oh, and his legion is really good. 】

[Vulcan, I don't know him and his heirs well. He may be very suitable for fighting, but he should not be suitable for war. 】

【Magnus, not only is he not suitable for war, he is not even suitable for anything. 】

[Perturabo, his abilities are among the best among his brothers, but that's all. I don't know why, but his abilities have not been brought into play at all. 】

[Mortarion, he is very powerful, and his legion is also very powerful, but he is not worth being afraid of, but we do need to beware of him. 】

[Don't overestimate his danger, don't underestimate his malice, that's all. 】

【Luo Jia...】

【...Luo Jia】

【Ah……】

Jonson let out a sneer, and he remained silent for a while before moving on to the next topic.

Until the end of the conversation, he didn't talk about his brother, but at the end, he seemed to say something with emotion.

[Word bearers are worthy of pity. 】

[They deserve better. 】

------

For Jonson and Morgan, this kind of conversation has become a kind of daily chat unintentionally. In those times when there is no war or work, the lion of Caliban is even willing to spend such time with his blood relatives. .

He could clearly feel that his trust in Morgan was rising, but Jonson also knew clearly that he could not fully trust him.

No one deserved his complete trust but the Emperor.

No, even the Emperor...

Jonson would never tell Morgan that in his chambers was a secret chamber that contained the strangest longsword: one designed to drink the blood of psykers.

However, he didn't wish he could use it, although he was always ready.

Prepared for the day Morgan would leave him, leave his regiment.

But he never thought that that day would come like this.

------

【storm? 】

When he knew that Morgan was taking Zahariel to a wild world to explore an ancient site, Jonson didn't stop him.

But when he heard that at some point that galaxy was consumed by a warp storm.

His brow wrinkled.

　Axi, I feel completely out of shape today...

　　who am i where am i what the hell am i writing...

　　cough cough.

　　Well, here, I recommend a small seedling.

　　(The last book and my py friend have already soared into the sky, sad)

　　Titled "The Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands"

　　It's really a seedling, a story about the female primarch Angron. Although the words are not many, both the plot and the writing are online.

　　You can go and have a look, or you can add it to the bookshelf to raise it. Warhammer is not easy to have colleagues, so be kind~

　　what……

　　I feel like I'm going to be the front wave of being photographed to death.

　　sad.
