Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 224: Regent and Warmaster, Rhodes's Plan
Rhodes stood aside with an expression of enjoying the show. Now that Horus was possessed by his own dark giant, it would not be so easy for him to die.

Let our Regent Guilliman fight for a while! Vent out his anger. Guilliman will not really kill Horus anyway.

No matter which Primarch of the loyal side, they would beat Horus without hesitation. Even the Lion King and the Wolf King with a more irritable temper might kill him directly. The Emperor's words would be useless, but Guilliman would not do that.

It was for this reason that Horus dared to appear before Robert Guilliman.

Horus was beaten badly. Robert Guilliman swung his fists mercilessly, hitting the Son of the First Return again and again, with no intention of showing mercy.

The force of each punch was enough to kill a Guardian, injure a Great Demon, or even blow up a Chaos Chosen One. The entire floor of the temple was dented.

It even rumbled like an earthquake, causing the Ultramarines, Emperor's Guards, Black Templars, and Grey Knights outside to become nervous for a while.

Rhodes went out temporarily to comfort everyone, saying that Guilliman was a little grumpy and was practicing boxing, so they don't have to worry, it's just a small matter.

"Do you think I don't dare to kill you? Do you think it will be over if you don't fight back?

You traitor, you betrayed us all. If it weren't for your father, he wouldn't be sitting on the golden throne, and if it weren't for you, the empire wouldn't be in such a mess now." Robert Guilliman said excitedly.

Oh Horus! Oh Horus! Do you know how big a mistake you have made? Do you know how much disaster you have brought to this empire?

"I know, but what could I do at the time? It was a conspiracy against me, no matter who it was.

As long as he is in the position of Warmaster, if this person is Lion the Lion, if it is you, it can even be Sanguinius.

Your fate will not be any better than mine, you will all be corrupted by the Four Chaos Gods." Horus spat out a mouthful of blood and said.

During this time, he also figured out one thing: a big part of the reason why he was corrupted was because he was the imperial war commander at the time.

If you ask yourself, Horus's loyalty is definitely not much less than Robert Guilliman, Sanguinius, Lemanus and others!
He was the first of the Emperor's sons to return, and when all his brothers were missing, he fought alongside the Emperor for a full 30 years.

They faced the enemy back to back together, entrusted their lives to each other countless times, and were the people they trusted most.

When the Emperor returned to Holy Terra, he handed over the position of Warmaster to himself and put him in charge of the Great Crusade.

But the Emperor at that time also ignored his own feelings and completely erased the affairs of the two brothers. He even established the High Lords Society without even a single Primarch!

But this was only a little dissatisfaction, and the Chaos God took advantage of this dissatisfaction to turn his inner dissatisfaction with the Emperor into hatred.

"Bah! You mean you're still innocent? How dare you say such a thing?"

"If you were the Warmaster at that time! Then I guarantee that Robert Guilliman, you will not be able to escape the fate of being corrupted by the Four Gods, and you will even be worse off than me." Horus said.

With Robouti Guilliman's wisdom and political ability, Horus couldn't imagine what would have happened if it was him who was corrupted at the time.

"Hey, you two, have you had enough fighting?
If you haven't fought enough, I'll go back and take a nap. I'll come back when you've fought enough." Rhodes said.

The two brothers simply ignored Rhodes. Robert Guilliman lifted up the corner of Horus's clothes, pulled Horus in front of him, and spit in his face.

"Hmph! Horus, I won't acknowledge you.

You can never come back to the Empire. Even if your father asks you to come back, I will not let you come back, and the people of the entire Empire will not let you come back." Robert Guilliman snorted coldly.

“I have no intention of coming back. I don’t have the face to face all the people of this empire again, let alone my father and other brothers. But I will atone for my sins in my own way.

I will make the four Chaos Gods who corrupted me pay the price, and I will make all the rebellious Primarchs pay the price. I promise you, Guilliman, please believe me for the last time! Please!" Horus said.

Of all the rebel Primarchs, the only one that was a bit unfortunate was Magurus.

But this was his own fault. His father had long ago reminded him not to explore the chaotic power in the real price space.

But he still didn't listen, and before he deceived the Wolf King Lemanus to clean up his home planet, he had actually made many deals with Tzeentch, and even exchanged one of his eyes for some forbidden knowledge and psychic magic.

He was self-righteous and thought he could deceive the Chaos God, but in the end he was used by him.

As for Mortarion and Angron, it can only be said that the tragedy they encountered was caused by their growing environment.

There's nothing much to say about Fugen, and as for Luo Jia, that bastard, these two people deserve to die the most!
Lorgar was the first Primarch to betray, and it was he who designed to corrupt him. "Then prove it to me, Horus. Go hunt down a rebellious Primarch and bring him back to me. If you can't do it, I will not forgive you." Robert Guilliman said.

Horus nodded and a burst of black energy flashed through his body, completely healing his severely injured head. After merging with the Dark Giant, his strength had far surpassed that of the Primarch.

This minor flesh wound healed in just a few seconds, which made Robert Guilliman speechless. If he had known earlier, he would have hit him harder. This bastard has become much stronger!
It seems that I also need to have a good talk with this new brother. Can you make me stronger too?
My intelligence and politics are fine, but my combat power is far behind! I, Guilliman, am the one who lacks combat power the most.

Without saying anything more, Horus nodded to Rhodes and Guilliman and left the temple of the Ultramarines.

He planned to leave here completely, to complete his revenge on Chaos and to wash away his betrayal.

"Rods, I'll be leaving first. I'll leave my brother to you in your care." Horus used the Dark Giant's telepathic ability to communicate with Rods. There were some things he didn't want Robert Guilliman to hear.

“Wait a minute Horus, maybe you don’t have to leave in such a hurry.

Soon, Guilliman and I will travel to Holy Terra, once word of Guilliman's resurrection has spread.

Those fallen Chaos Primarchs will definitely not sit idly by. Fulgrim and Magurus will definitely take action again.

That will be a good opportunity to deal with them, what do you think?" Rhodes said.

Just kidding, Guilliman's journey back to Terra was not smooth, and the Primarch was subjected to various schemes by Magnus along the way.

He was even captured by a certain red pirate named Blackheart Huron. Our Guilliman was either being rescued or on his way to be rescued.

"You mean, I should hide in the dark and deal with the two of them." Horus' eyes lit up, and he communicated with Rhodes through his divine thoughts.

"Well! You use the power of the Dark Giants to disguise yourself as an ordinary human Astra Militarum, and then hide in the team. I believe I will be of use to you, and we can..." Rhodes conveyed his thoughts to Horus with his mind.

"You have a good idea. This is indeed a good opportunity. I understand. I will hide secretly and try not to let Robert Guilliman find me." The two communicated with each other through their minds, and Robert Guilliman did not notice anything unusual at all.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, brother. To be honest, this is the only thing I think my father's behavior was inconsiderate.

Horus really shouldn't be resurrected, and his death would be better for everyone, but I'm still willing to give him one last chance." Robert Guilliman took a deep breath and said.

Only when facing the great sinner Horus, he would lose all his composure and his usual gentleman-politician demeanor.

"I can understand you. No one in the entire empire has a positive opinion of Horus. Even I didn't have a very good opinion of him at the beginning. But the Emperor did this for his own purpose.

The current situation is too bad for humans. I think you can understand your father. I need this warmaster to deal with Chaos and the enemies of humanity. "Rhode said.

"I understand, I will give him some time to prove himself.

Now I will make some changes to the Legion and unify all forces in the 500 worlds of Ultramar. Then we will go to Holy Terra together and completely eliminate this corrupt empire.

I estimate it will take several months to reach Holy Terra." Robert Guilliman said.

A few months would be enough time for him to recruit some more sub-groups and transform them all into new Astartes monks.

With the addition of 20 new soldiers, the number of interstellar warriors that he and Rhodes brought back to Terra this time was as high as one million.

This is an extremely terrifying force that requires a large fleet. He will also need some time to gather the fleet from the world of Ultramar.

"Don't worry! We can take the Eldar's Webway world, which is safe and fast. We can return to Holy Terra in a month at most." Rhodes said.

"The Eldar Webway is indeed very fast, but my brother, how did you gain access to the Eldar Webway?" Robert Guilliman asked.

If we can take the webway to Holy Terra, it is indeed the safest and fastest way. My brother is very capable.

"I did a small favor to the Eldar's Laughing God by attracting Slaanesh's attention in exchange for the right to use the Webway." Rhodes shrugged and said.

You jerk of Laughing God, I helped you attract the attention of Slaanesh. I will not be polite to you in the Webworld anymore.
