Warhammer: I, the Wizard of a Thousand Sons, Reorganize the Legion

Chapter 101 Debate

However, there are advantages as well. Even if some Primarchs rebel, it won't escalate into a large-scale rebellion.

After all, without the guidance of the Starlight, warp navigation would become problematic, and given the vastness of the galaxy, the scale of the Primarch's rebellion would be pitifully small.

However, this was also a dark period for human empires. Without communication and navigation, humanity would once again enter a long dark age, with civilization regressing and people becoming isolated from one another.

"Horus, should we announce the news of the Emperor's slumber in advance? Otherwise, we might not have the chance to inform him."

""

Makado, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, because this proposal had long deviated from the secrecy plan set by Horus. However, these words were spoken by the emperor's trusted advisor and the true political leader of the empire.

Of course, this statement may not be part of Makado's pre-arranged plan against Horus, which may have aroused his suspicion.

It is highly likely that the reality is constantly changing, and Makado also feels that Horus's plan cannot be carried out.

"No, that might not be the reason. It's more that Macardo feels sorry for the emperor's offspring."

Li Wei gazed at Macardo's solemn and aged face, and thought to himself that he knew what was going on.

Macardo was worried about the Emperor's offspring, fearing that after the communication was cut off, those Primarchs who did not understand the truth about the Empire would take it upon themselves to declare themselves kings, amass armies, or be instigated and misled by those with ulterior motives, and truly turn to the opposite side of the Empire.

This is completely different from Horus's original, well-thought-out plan.

After all, Horus's previous plan was simply to conceal the news of the Emperor's slumber, return to Terra, gradually win over the Primarchs of the other Legions, and finally accumulate enough strength to reveal the truth about the Emperor's slumber to the public.

By then, even if the Primarchs harbored rebellious intentions, they would have nothing to fear, and it would also have eliminated a potential threat to the Empire.

Although such a plan has its risks and uncertainties, it is still a safe and sound strategy, at least it will not needlessly harm other Primarchs.

After a moment of contemplation, Horus tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Makado, the situation has changed, but the plan will proceed as scheduled. Because the situation has worsened, all the problems should be exposed now. Otherwise, if it drags on, the empire will be in even greater chaos."

As he finished speaking, his expression grew increasingly solemn, appearing even more cold and resolute under the pale blue light of the holographic screen.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the other three, and said decisively, "The plan remains unchanged. We will return to Terra along the original route. However, the number of Primarchs we recruit must be increased. In addition to Loka, we must also bring Vograim into our ranks. While the warp storm has not yet fully erupted and the message can still be transmitted, immediately extend an invitation to the Primarchs of the Emperor's Sons to return to Terra! Order them to set off at full speed. Even if the warp routes may be cut off at any time, even if they cannot directly jump, they can still gradually approach Terra in the real universe."

Horus, fearing the situation would worsen, added the Primarch Vorgrim, the son of the Emperor, to his side.

As for other Primarchs, he absolutely could not invite any more, fearing that if too many Primarchs returned to Terra, the situation would spiral out of control.

At that point, it won't be about winning over allies; it will be about inviting trouble upon ourselves.

Moreover, he believed that with the Thousand Sons Legion, the Word Bearers Legion, the Emperor's Sons Legion, and his own Shadowmoon Wolf Primal Form, he would be able to face most crises.

After a long silence, Horus's gaze swept over the three people in the room as usual, but he focused more on Magnus and Macado.

Horus didn't pay much attention to Livi, after all, he was just the chief of the Thousand Sons, and since Magnus had agreed, Livi naturally had no objections.

Livy was indifferent to Horus's disdain and indifference, and he was also indifferent to the suggestions of Horus or Macardo.

Makado's idea is correct, and Horus's idea is correct.

These are just different approaches to doing things, but the results may be the same.

After all, the situation has already deteriorated rapidly, and it doesn't matter whether or not we are informed that the emperor has fallen into a deep sleep.

Because ambitious and powerful Primarchs, once they learn that the Emperor is in a deep sleep and warp communications and travel are cut off, will inevitably carve out their own territory and break away from the Empire's control.

But he never expected that Horus, the most steady and composed of all the Primarchs and the eldest among them, would take the initiative to shatter the illusion of the Empire's stability and fight to the death.

Without seeking any stability, is Horus not afraid to fulfill the Emperor's mandate?

However, after glancing at Horus's battle-hardened profile, he knew what was going on!

Horus, after all, was a Primarch who had emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood during the Great Crusade. How could he truly be as gentle and approachable as he appeared, without any guile or sharpness? Li Wei was simply too naive.

Moreover, Horus did this in order to gain more merit and to prove to the emperor that he was the most loyal pillar of the empire.

Whether Horus used this opportunity to eliminate the other Primarchs and gain more of the Emperor's favor alone, only Horus knows.

"Alright..." Magnus nodded upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, "I agree with my brother Horus's suggestion. After all, there can be no new beginning without destruction. For a better future for the empire, some thorns must be removed."

Magnus finished speaking with a menacing and undisguised tone.

"Hmm..." Li Wei, who was listening quietly to the side, was secretly surprised.

He really hadn't expected Magnus to be so ruthless, but he glanced at Magnus's cold expression at that moment.

I roughly know what happened.

Magnus was eager to teach the emperor's sons and his own brothers a lesson when they harbored resentment.

As for why it wasn't the other Primarchs who were killed, Levi, looking at Magnus's vengeful expression, didn't sense the slightest malice.

Magnus, being a true scholar, never even considered the ultimate consequences of Horus's actions.

Magnus's words prompted the previously silent Macado to speak up. He tightened his grip on his cane and said in a deep voice, "I still disagree."

He looked up at Horus and said in a heavy tone, "The emperor's offspring should not be needlessly drawn into the vortex of rebellious intentions simply because of news that the emperor has fallen into a deep sleep."

At this point, he turned to look at Levi and said solemnly, "Horus, this was your suggestion, and you have no right to make this decision unilaterally. Now, Magnus and I each have one vote, and our opinions are completely opposite. It is now up to Levi to decide whether to carry out the previous plan."

"I..." Li Wei, who was standing aside quietly watching the show, never expected that he would be making such an important decision.
