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

Chapter 122 Sudden Event

After Horus finished his oath, he came to Livy's side and said in a deep voice, "Livy, do you see any problems? I will enter the cemetery of the Necromancer's dynasty with you."

"Hmm..." Li Wei, who was lost in thought, came back to his senses and nodded, "Commander, preparations are complete, and we are ready to fight immediately."

"That's good, let's set off together."

Horus nodded and led the fifty warriors of the Shadowmoon Wolves into the arena first, while Li Wei led the psionic warriors of the Thousand Sons to follow behind.

As Li Wei had predicted, the entrance to the Necromancer's tomb was indeed problematic. As soon as Horus, the leader, entered the cave, he seemed to step into an illusory barrier and instantly disappeared.

However, the Shadowmoon Wolf warriors present were not panicked. Instead, they gripped their weapons tightly, remained on guard, and accelerated their advance.

As Li Wei had already explained beforehand, this was normal; the cave, which appeared to be an unclear and bottomless deep cave, was actually a spatial teleportation array.

Before long, the Shadow Moon Wolf warriors who were bringing up the rear all went inside, and Li Wei followed closely behind, leading the elite Thousand Sons warriors he had selected, and stepped into the room.

A wave of intense dizziness and nausea washed over him, and Li Wei swayed, almost vomiting.

He was somewhat dazed, but before he could gather his thoughts, he heard the sounds of explosions and fighting.

"Open fire! Kill all these aliens!"

"Hold on, don't back down!"

"Protect General Horus!"

"What?" Coming to his senses, Li Wei suppressed the nausea and immediately looked up.

In the dimly lit corridor, glowing with an eerie green light and inscribed with strange necromantic runes, space necromancers, skeletal in appearance, were firing their green-glowing Gauss weapons. Every now and then, Shadowmoon Wolf warriors would be shot and fall to the ground.

The Shadowmoon Wolf warriors, leading the charge, continued to fight back, bombs exploding and chainsaws slashing, but their effects on the enemies were minimal, often requiring several heavy blows to dismantle a single enemy.

The battlefield situation was one of Shadowmoon Wolves being forced into a retreat. However, Li Wei saw hope amidst the chaos: the Primarch of Shadowmoon Wolves, Warmaster Horus.

He wielded his power sword, which glowed with a white light, and slashed repeatedly, each strike taking down a low-level space necromancer warrior swiftly and decisively.

Horus, amidst the chaos of battle, was like a god of war descended to earth, invincible and unparalleled.

"It seems there's not much of a problem. Horus's warp nature, although he doesn't control the source power, greatly enhances his physical abilities and nerve reflexes. He faces these low-level space undead warriors without any pressure."

Li Wei said this, but his expression did not relax in the slightest. Purple patterns unconsciously appeared before his eyes as he began to investigate where these space undead warriors in front of him came from.

Before entering, Li Wei had already scouted the area once. He dared not act rashly without preparation and had to ensure that nothing went wrong.

In particular, Horus was the leader. Li Wei had confirmed with him several times before letting Horus lead the way, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard by the warriors of the space necromancers as soon as he stepped in.

His heart sank. He needed to find out everything as soon as possible so he could decide whether to continue fighting or retreat.

Li Wei was worried that they had already been discovered by the Necromancer Dynasty of Space, or that it was just an accident that he hadn't detected before.

The scenery of the corridor before him gradually changed in Li Wei's eyes, which were tinged with purple patterns. The thick black stone walls became transparent, and the scene deep inside was fully revealed.

"Huh..." Li Wei, who was focused, was surprised to find that the space necromancers who were constantly coming to provide support were simply running out one after another from a secret door in a secret passage.

Moreover, there weren't that many, only a hundred or so. It was just a small hiding place, separated by thick black stone walls, which is why Li Wei hadn't been able to see through it before.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Relieved, Li Wei snapped back to reality and relaxed. He didn't try to steal Horus's thunder, but instead directed the Thousand Sons warriors who were constantly entering the Necromancer Dynasty's graveyard in space to organize a front and support the Shadowmoon Wolves warriors who were struggling in the battle.

While directing the manpower, Li Wei used his purple eyes to probe the distance. He needed to keep a close watch on the depths of the Necromancer Dynasty in space to see if the core of the dynasty had been disturbed.

"At present, it seems that the entire dynasty has not been activated."

Li Wei pondered to himself and said in a low voice.

Their purpose was simply to rescue the ten Shadowmoon Wolf warriors, not to wage a full-scale war against the sleeping Undead Dynasty. There was no need to create unnecessary complications and increase casualties.

He frowned, puzzled. "But how did those Shadowmoon Wolf warriors disappear?"

Thinking this, he continued to gaze into the depths of the cemetery, hoping to find traces of the missing warrior, but as soon as he glanced at one corner, he heard Horus's loud shout.

"Lord Li Wei, come and see which way to go, and find my offspring."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei abandoned the large-scale search and turned to look at Horus, who was wearing Terminator power armor and had an excited expression on his face.

With a face covered in dust, he said in a deep voice, "Warmaster Horus, the situation is unclear. I have also lost track of those Shadowmoon Wolf warriors, your offspring."

"Hmm...what?" Horus, wiping the dust from his face, paused, frowning. "Can't you even find that little bit of direction?"

Seeing Horus's anxious gaze, Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, which was covered by power armor, and pointed to a fork in the road not far away.

"This direction is the direction of the missing Astark, but I don't know the exact location."

Then, he changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "General Horus, the situation is now more complicated. The space necromancers have been awakened by our disturbance, and your offspring do not know the exact direction. I suggest we withdraw our troops now."

As Li Wei finished speaking, Horus in front of him froze, revealing a look of struggle.

He should have given up on his ten offspring earlier, but he was unwilling to do so. So he sought help from his brother Magnus and from Levi, who could see through everything. After learning that there was an opportunity to rescue them, even though he knew it would awaken the sleeping Necromancer dynasty, as a Primarch of the Legion, he could not sit idly by.

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Lord Li Wei, it is impossible for me to abandon my offspring. I hope you will continue to guide the search and rescue efforts. Please refrain from saying anything about withdrawing the troops."

"Hmm..." Levi sighed inwardly and could only nod helplessly. Horus had said so, and he could not refuse. He could only be more careful about the route ahead.

He was merely the chief strategist of the Thousand Sons, unable to influence Horus, the war commander of Shadowmoon Wolf. He could only lead the Thousand Sons warriors to continue following up.

As for the danger, Li Wei stared at the shattered space necromancer at his feet, examined it closely, and concluded that the threat was not as great as he had imagined.
