Man in Warhammer, starting Primarch.

Chapter 246 53, Alliance

The Harlequin was born after the fall of the gods. The God of Laughter, Silogod, hid in the Webway to escape the hunting and corruption of Slaanesh.

After that, more Eldar also sought refuge on the Webway, where they were protected by the Laughing God Silogo, which is how the Harlequin came to be.

The first clown of the Eldar was Silogo himself, and the Eldar under his protection followed his example and began to wear clown masks.

According to legend, the Harlequin is tasked with guarding the Black Library, a library that even Tzeentch is fascinated by.

This library contains the knowledge of the entire universe. All kinds of incredible secrets and horrifying secrets can be found here.

It is said that books about the future are also collected here.

Legend has it that the Emperor once entered the Black Library, where he obtained a vast amount of knowledge that had never appeared in the galaxy before.

With the information advantage brought by this knowledge, the Emperor successfully teased the gods. The man who was about to become a god made a contract with the gods and obtained enough wealth to create twenty demigods.

However, when the gods realized that they had been tricked, they turned around and made the emperor half paralyzed, forcing him to sit on the Golden Throne.

But the importance of the Black Library is still evident.

As a high-ranking member of the Harlequins, why did Curtain Walker Sinlander come to see me instead of staying in the webway?

What Dukel said was not empty talk. If the Eldar alien in front of him could not give a convincing reason, then he should consider cutting it into several pieces.

An Eldar alien dares to meet an Imperial Primarch openly. It can only be said that the current galaxy is really crazy.

Do you really think that every Primarch is called Roboute Guilliman?

Even Guilliman would be absolutely hostile when facing a strange alien.

"You may continue speaking now. The survival or destruction of you and your companions will be determined by your next two sentences." Dukel sat on a ruby-encrusted chair and looked at the other party. Although his sitting posture was casual, his words revealed a murderous intent.

Even when he was sitting there, his tall body was much taller than the elves in front of him.

Every Eldar present felt a heavy sense of oppression at this moment, which made them hold their breath and look at their leader Xinland with worried eyes.

"My lord, your men are now engulfed by the darkness of the warp. They are so crazy that they do not hide their existence at all. They are united by the iron fist of a powerful commander, and the fluctuations they emit can be felt from a long distance. The enemy is so powerful that blindly being tough will only put you in prison. The Harlequins know a webway. With the help of this hidden passage, you can easily rescue your men without having to confront the enemy head-on."

Veilwalker's tone was urgent, and there was genuine emotion in her voice, as if she really was thinking about the Empire.

But Duke was not moved at all.
"You have one more thing to say." He gave the Curtain Walker an ultimatum, but it was obvious that the other party's words did not impress him.

The murderous intent lingering around him almost became a substance at this moment, and one could vaguely hear the wailing of wronged souls.

The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point. Under this heavy atmosphere, some timid elves even began to tremble uncontrollably.

Only Curtain Walker Sinland had a decent expression.

"I've finished." Xin Land shook his head. "My suggestion is undoubtedly the best choice for you at the moment. If you can avoid bloodshed, why don't you do it? You can choose to trust us. I know that the lives of the Eldar are in your hands. If you want to destroy us, you can do so anytime and anywhere."

"But please listen to our advice carefully before you destroy us, and do not make the wrong decision because of your momentary anger. You sit on the supreme throne of the Imperial Warmaster, and every decision you make will affect the fate of the entire galaxy."

After saying this, Xinland stopped talking. She raised her swan-like neck, closed her eyes, and let Dukel decide her future fate.

The so-called life of the Eldar refers to Aisha, the Eldar goddess of life.

If Dukel really wanted to destroy the lives of the elves, he only needed to destroy the goddess of life.

Xin Lande knew very well that her life had always been in the other party's hands, which made her seem very lonely.

Dukel didn't answer him immediately. He was thinking, tapping his fingers on the surface of his desk.

In this quiet atmosphere, the elves present felt that time had slowed down more than ever before. Every tap of Dukel's fingers on the table seemed to be a tap on their hearts, making them feel uneasy.

"It's still a reason to trust." Dukel finally spoke, and the elves felt a little relieved.

"But that's only half of it." The Warmaster continued, "You can continue to survive, but I won't let you go. I want you to do something for me."

"Please give your orders." Xin Lande said humbly.

"The best hunters in the galaxy often appear as prey." Duke first quoted a proverb,
"Since the enemies hiding in the darkness think they have everything under control, why not use the webway you mentioned to give them another gift?"

Duke said with a hint of amusement.

His words stunned everyone present.

Now that the blasphemers of the Warp have joined forces to set a trap, the Imperial Warmaster is not thinking about how to escape, but instead wants to capture the enemy in one fell swoop.

This attitude is too arrogant. If other people have such thoughts, they will definitely be laughed at.

You can say Chaos is evil, but no one can deny the power of Chaos. The dark existence of the Warp has caused countless races to pay a heavy price.

Over the long years, countless civilizations were destroyed by the claws of the gods, and races were wiped out.

Faced with the powerful force of chaos, let alone defeating them, even being able to fight against them for a short period of time is already a rare victory.

Amid the shocked and confused gazes of the crowd.

The fighting spirit in Dukel's eyes burned as fiercely as fire.

"In the face of the chaos of the Warp, escape is the most useless option. They are so eager for destruction and war." He continued,

"But it happens that I also desire it. Civilization and reason cannot fight against chaos, and we should respond to them in the same way."

“That’s the way I like it, too.”

Everyone present, whether they were Eldar or the Primarch's guards, were inevitably infected by the Primarch's emotions. Everyone unconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons. The pain that the Chaos Demons had brought upon them in the past now turned into a flame that burned everything, burning more and more fiercely in their hearts, making them want to immediately throw themselves into the battle with the demons.

And Duker's voice continued to ring out,
"These cowards don't even have the courage to confront me head-on. They only dare to use such cunning tricks. Facing such an enemy, why should I be afraid to fight them head-on? I see their inferiority complex. They themselves don't believe that they are qualified to fight me head-on."

"No matter how many times the war continues, I will be invincible!"

Dukel's impassioned speech made everyone lower their heads unconsciously.

"That's right, father. All victories are your due!"

However, Doom, who had been standing silently behind the Primarch, shouted excitedly at this moment.

This was his genetic father, the Primarch that the Second Legion had sworn to follow.

Duke waved his hand, signaling him to calm down, and then glanced at everyone.
"Gods and demons have ravaged the galaxy for countless years. It is time for them to pay the price. We forge divine weapons with ideals and beliefs. My warriors repay blood with blood and tooth for tooth. When we cut off the demon's head and make the last god on the last throne beg for mercy under our sword, only then will our manifest destiny begin."

Everyone in the room was silent as they digested the Primarch's bold words. Even several Eldar were speechless at this moment. They were shocked by the ambition of the Imperial Warmaster.

Dukel's words hit their hearts like a hammer.

"Since we started our great crusade against darkness, we have won incredible wars."

"The elusive enemies set a trap for us, but I think they dug a grave for themselves. They thought they would destroy our hopes with tricks as before, but they were wrong. This time we will chop off their heads, destroy their souls, and completely destroy the kingdom of heaven on which they live."

Dukel stopped talking and looked at the elves.

"If you are willing to complete the mission I assign, I will sign an alliance with you. You will become an unbreakable ally between me and the Second Legion, just like the 13th Legion of the Imperial Regent and the Death Army. If you are unwilling, I will dig out your hearts, throw your bodies into the Sea of ​​Profanity, and send your souls to the Argent Factory."

"Although I am a general in war, I always have a kind heart. Now I give you the right to freely choose your own destiny."

Curtain Walker Xinland: "."

This is so free, does she have a choice?

There have long been rumors that the current Imperial Warmaster is a hypocritical dictator. Now it seems that this is probably not a rumor.
Although Xinlande was complaining in her heart, after a brief conversation, she also understood the attitude of the imperial warmaster - after all, the other party had openly revealed his ambitions, and she would be a fool if she didn't understand.

Dukel was different from everyone she had ever met. Instead of putting himself in the position of a passive victim, he took on the notoriety of an abuser.

In the presence of this Warmaster, whether Chaos wants war or not, the Warmaster will personally ignite the flames of war.

After a quick and brief thought in his mind, Xin Lande responded quickly,

"Everene and her Death God Army are just the puppies of the Imperial Regent. Their power is nothing compared to ours." Xin Lander first expressed his disdain for Everene, and then continued,
"We are here to help you. If the Warmaster has a specific plan, please let me know the details."

Dukel was not surprised that Sinland despised the Death Army.

Because Evelyne is too close to Guilliman, most of the Eldar are very disdainful of her and call her the little puppy of the Imperial Regent.

Most of the time, the Eldar appear in the human vision as an arrogant image.

But in fact, they are not that proud. Most of the Eldar forces are not opposed to finding a powerful human army as a backer.

There are countless such examples.

The reason why they particularly despise Evelyne is probably because they were not the ones who clung to the imperial regent.

Dukel nodded. With the addition of this group of clowns and the webway information, his attack on the forces of chaos would become smoother and more thorough.

Dukor decided to give Horus and the gods a great gift.

Maybe he should also shout out a slogan, such as - the era of gods is over.

On the planet Belia IV, the Eldar still have several intact webways.

After all, that world is where Asuryan's temple is located, and the Goddess of Life also knows of the existence of those webways. It's just that the goddess has been away from the physical universe for too long, so she can't accurately point out which webway is still intact like the Veil Walker can.

Long ago, Belia IV was the cultural center of the Eldar. This prosperous planet was also a transit point for the Webway.

Densely packed webway entrances are hidden in that world, but with the fall of the Eldar civilization, most of the webways have either been destroyed or infested with large numbers of demons.

After discussing the plan, Curtain Walker left in a hurry.

She left with a brisk pace, showing her joyful heart.

In order to make her serve him wholeheartedly, Dukel promised her that she could meet the goddess of life, Aisha.

At the same time, Dukel also temporarily lent them a warship that could jump into the virtual realm.

As long as he gains Duke's trust, he will never treat his people unfairly.

It took days to formulate the plan, but that was not enough to tire the Primarch.

When he walked out of the conference room, Duke was still full of energy.

When he stepped out of the door of the conference room, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the dark corner. There, an assassin from the Assassin's Court felt his gaze at the same time, and hurriedly shrank back, trying to hide himself.

Duke ignored him because the assassin was sent by the Lion King, nominally to protect his safety, but actually as a messenger for secret communication between the two.

This assassin is quite useful. The fact that the human empire has survived thousands of years and is still standing today is largely due to the contribution of the Assassin's Court.

When there are tyrannical planetary governors, traitors who incite riots, or other factors that affect the stability of the empire, the Assassin's Court will take action to eliminate them.

In a sense, the functions of the Assassin's Court are very similar to those of the Dark Angels, which is why Duke temporarily handed the Assassin's Court over to the Lion King.
