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

Chapter 121 Space Necromancer

Li Wei felt that the Spirit Race's Laughing God was secretly setting a trap for the Thousand Sons Legion and the Shadowmoon Wolf Legion, or perhaps eliminating their old rival, the Space Undead.

The Necromancers of Space are an immortal mechanical civilization that dominated the galaxy in ancient times. They once joined forces with the Star Gods to launch the War of Heaven and are the ancient nemesis of the Eldar for sixty million years.

However, sixty million years have passed since the War of Heaven.

The deep-seated hatred between the Necromancers and the Eldar has long since faded, as time heals all wounds.

But for the God of Laughter, it was a different story. He was one of the oldest gods in the Pantheon, and time meant nothing to him. Moreover, he was born during the War of Heaven, and naturally hated his mortal enemy, the Necromancers of the cosmos.

The fact that Laughing God sent the Thousand Sons Legion and the Shadow Moon Wolf Legion to search for the web passage on Planet Thor, only to find the underground tomb of the space necromancers, is definitely not normal.

It didn't really matter anyway; we could just ignore it.

But ten Shadowmoon Wolf Legion warriors have already been lost here, and there is absolutely no way to leave them unattended.

But this seems too much like a trap set by the Spirit Race's Laughing God, luring Thousand Sons and Shadow Moon Wolf to search the Web Path, eventually finding this place where the slumbering space necromancers have been, thus causing a conflict between the two sides, so that the Empire can be used to eliminate their nemesis.

Thinking of this, Li Wei narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Laughing God, if you're so capable, just say that this Net Path is hidden deep in the Necropolis of Space."

He hadn't actually seen through the depths of the Necromancer's tomb; his all-seeing eyes were completely blocked by the Necromancer's black stone barrier.

Once you're inside, you can only see a few dozen meters ahead; beyond that, you can only see blurry outlines.

Li Wei is now worried that there might be a web tunnel deep within the space undead, which would be a huge problem. Given the space undead's hatred for living beings, a large-scale entry into the possible web tunnels in this area would inevitably lead to conflict.

It's not that the Thousand Sons Legion and the Shadow Moon Wolf Legion can't deal with this Space Necromancer Dynasty, but rather that there's absolutely no need to provoke such an undeserved disaster.

As for the Shadow Moon Wolf Warriors who mistakenly entered the Necromancer Kingdom of Space, they didn't go too far. If they are rescued immediately, there is a high probability that the sleeping Necromancer Kingdom of Space will not be awakened.

He composed himself, turned to look at Horus who was still pondering, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Horus, we must immediately begin the rescue."

"Hmm..." Horus, whose thoughts had been interrupted, nodded as he came to his senses. "We do need to save them, but the Necromancers are too dangerous. We must be careful. There's no need to forcibly awaken the sleeping army of the Necromancer dynasty."

Horus's words reassured Livy somewhat, as he had been worried that Horus, in accordance with the Empire's mission to eradicate aliens, would launch a forceful attack to wipe out the space undead in the area.

However, from Horus's wary expression, Li Wei knew that Horus already knew about the existence of the Necromancers and their terrifying combat power, so there was no need to increase casualties unnecessarily.

Although the Necromancers are mysterious, the Empire is not to be underestimated and definitely knows some information about them.

It would be truly strange if the original genetic material of Shadowmoon Wolf, a descendant of the Emperor, didn't even know about such a former galactic overlord.

As for persuading Horus to abandon the rescue of the warriors and wait until the web of Thor is truly lost before exploring the place, Levi couldn't bring himself to say it.

After all, ten warriors of the Shadowmoon Wolves were among them, and Horus, their Primarch, could not possibly give up so easily.

Even if he really gives up, it's not up to Li Wei, an outsider, to comment; he's not that confused.

With his mind racing, Li Wei, following Horus's concerns, suggested, "Primarch Horus, let's send over a hundred elite Thousand Sons and Shadowmoon Wolves to go in together and rescue those lost Shadowmoon Wolves."

He paused, then continued, "However, we have deployed a large army to defend the area outside the Necromancer's Cave in space, just in case."

Li Wei actually wanted to suggest that it was best not to go too deep, but Horus remained resolute at this point, so he had better come up with a safe and comprehensive solution.

"Hmm..." Horus agreed to Levi's prudent suggestion. He didn't find Levi's plan particularly amazing, but it was the most practical and reliable solution at the moment.

He immediately gave the order through the communicator to summon all the elite Shadowmoon Wolves that had landed on Thor.

Li Wei also simultaneously issued an order to summon all the Thousand Warriors on this planet.

At the same time, Li Wei kept a close eye on the warriors exploring inside the Necromancer Kingdom in space, using his eyes with psionic vision, to monitor their condition in case anything happened.

"Unfortunately, the Archmage cannot come."

Li Wei sighed inwardly and said in a low voice.

Magnus is now the supreme commander of the fleet, and he must now sit firmly on the Emperor's flagship, the Imperial Dream, while Macado, whose psionic abilities are equally unfathomable, is handling the fleet affairs after his departure.

Although Macardo did not participate in the Council of Four later, the Imperial Guard fleet directly under the Emperor's command was actually under his control.

Currently, there are only Horus and himself as the two powerful forces on this planet, but this force is basically sufficient to deal with ordinary space necromantic dynasties.

Of course, this only applies to infiltrating to rescue people. As for directly confronting the army of space undead, Levi and Horus were simply out of their minds, asking for trouble.

But he feared something unexpected might happen; otherwise, Li Wei and Horus, who had already awakened the nature of warp, would have already ventured alone into the underground catacombs of the space undead to rescue those lost Astartes warriors.

After Levi and Magnus finished communicating, Stormhawk and Thunderhawk transport planes took off and landed continuously in the airspace of Planet Thor, gathering more than 100,000 Astartes warriors of the Thousand Sons and Shadowmoon Wolves in front of the cave entrance of the Space Necromancer.

After Levi and Horus settled the arriving warriors, they selected one hundred powerful Astartes warriors to enter the tomb of the Necromancers.

At the entrance to the tomb of the space necromancer.

Li Wei glanced up and looked at the hundred elite warriors in front of him, thinking to himself, "Actually, every warrior in the Thousand Sons Legion is stronger than the warriors of the Shadow Moon Wolf Legion, but it's only about half the strength."

He knew that the Thousand Sons' spiritual power was strong, so he chose warriors from the Thousand Sons Legion to infiltrate, which was the safest option.

But as I said before, the missing Astartes warriors are warriors of the Shadowmoon Wolves, and Li Wei has no right to make decisions on his own.

His gaze swept over the hundred elite soldiers before him, and then he saw two ranks of warriors—one composed of hundreds of thousands of warriors and the other of the Shadow Moon Wolf warriors—standing solemnly in the distance.

"It's truly magnificent, but who knows how many warriors will fall on the battlefield amidst this inevitable rebellion."

Li Wei withdrew his gaze and sighed softly.

He told himself that even if they returned to Terra, Thousand Sons and Shadowmoon Wolf would inevitably face the Empire's rebellion.
