Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

"Ever heard of the High Lord Commander of the Space Wolves?" asked Sejanus.

"Space Wolves? The former Sixth Legion?" Akurduna stroked his chin, his expression somewhat unnatural. It was clear that he disliked this legion of prisoners. "As for that so-called Supreme Lord Commander, I've never heard of him. What's wrong with him? Is he very powerful?"

"He was considered a brother by the Primarch of the VI Legion, and even after the Emperor's coming, he still considered himself an ally of the Primarch, not an Astartes," said Cyjanus.

In reality, his impression of Balder wasn't very favorable. It wasn't that Balder wasn't talented enough. On the contrary, through the Luna Wolves' own channels, Sejanus had learned a great deal about him. He was an exceptional leader, a wise man, skilled in many things, and a master of psionics. He also had a good temper, and even the stern members of the First Legion admired him highly. If that were all, he still had high hopes for Balder and was willing to meet and become friends.

But the only thing that made Sejanus uncomfortable was Baldur's arrogance. Even after the Legion was reorganized, he still considered himself the Primarch's brother, which made Sejanus very dissatisfied. After all, he knew very well how powerful a Primarch could be. Even if they were born in a barbaric world, they still couldn't overshadow their brilliance. So, after Horus gave the order, Sejanus also wanted to give this fellow Legionnaire a friendly reminder.

And Akultuna was the perfect candidate! Serjanus swore he had never seen anyone so gifted in swordsmanship! His swordsmanship and fighting abilities were unmatched in the Legion! On the battlefield, Akultuna was a trustworthy and powerful companion.

But in his free time, if you can tolerate his foul mouth, Akurduna is also a very good companion. He is a good person at heart, and although he has a hint of pride, he is very friendly and willing to teach others how to fight. He is also very sincere and has his own opinions.

"He's an arrogant fellow, but perhaps his arrogance is justified?" After hearing Sejanus' words, Akurduna fell into deep thought. His previous arrogance and conceit seemed to recede instantly, leaving Sejanus wondering if this fellow had become a completely different person...

"What do you mean?" asked Sejanus.

"First of all, if he wants to become the second-in-command of the legion among a group of barbarians and criminals, then he must have the strength to suppress others, rather than simply relying on the trust of the Primarch. He must have good skills." Akurduna said, eager to try.

"So, you want to fight him?" Sejanus slapped his forehead and said helplessly. He understood that Akurduna's concern wasn't about the person's actual qualities, but whether this person was powerful enough to be his opponent... He was truly a martial arts fanatic!

"He probably doesn't intend to waste time on you and imprison you with magical sorcery," Sejanus said, deftly pouring cold water on Akurduna. Simply tolerating someone's foul mouth wasn't Sejanus' style; he found satisfaction in inflicting pain on them.

"Psychic power? Well, if he uses psychic power, then he is a guy who doesn't know honor." Akurduna said somewhat discouraged.

"In compliance with the Primarch's orders, I am going to meet the Supreme Lord Commander. And I think he should show enough respect to the Primarch, not only to Lord Russ of the Space Wolves Legion, but also to the other Primarchs," said Sejanus.

"So, you hope to have a good swordsman who can make him realize his shortcomings?" asked Akurduna.

"Yeah, so I think you can get the job done."

"Okay, no problem. If he doesn't use psychic powers and is willing to fight, I will complete the task." Akurduna said.

"Remember, keep your words to a point and don't talk nonsense. No matter what, the Supreme Lord Commander is the second-in-command of the Legion. We are just reminding him to respect the Primarch, that's all." Sejanus said seriously.

"I see. Is there anything else? If not, I'll go get busy first." Akurduna once again returned to his usual frivolous expression.

"Go ahead, and stop talking so foul, or you might anger everyone." Sejanus tried in vain to persuade him.

After meeting with Akurduna, Sejanus set out again to find another key figure in his operation: Tarik Torgaddon, Captain of the Luna Wolves' Second Company! This optimistic, playful, and exceptionally capable man was also the Primarch's most trusted son. He also frequently mingled with warrior societies and had excellent relationships with his brothers from other chapters.

————————————————————

"Brother, to be honest, you chose to carry out a very difficult mission." After listening to what Sejanus said, Togarton frowned and said.

"It's not easy. After all, on the one hand, we have to show the goodwill of the Luna Wolves, and on the other hand, we have to remind this somewhat arrogant colleague." Saijanus said.

"No, no, I'm saying you underestimated the difficulty of completing the mission." Torgadon shook his head and said, "For example, what if we're not capable enough to warn this colleague?"

"How is that possible...?" Sejanus exclaimed in surprise. He considered the man he had found to be the strongest force in the Legion. Both Sejanus and Torgaddon were battle-hardened veterans, both commanding and capable. Akurduna, on the other hand, was the pinnacle of the Legion's swordsmanship. From any perspective, he should be able to subtly convey his Primarch's thoughts to his colleague.

"Have you ever been with Dukain?" asked Torgatun.

"Ducain? He was a true genius in tactics and command in the original Tenth Legion," Sejanus praised. "I've met him a few times, but we haven't interacted much."

"I've spent some time with him and conducted several tactical simulations with him. I have to admit that he is the best legion commander I have ever met. His understanding of armored assault and frontal combat can simply be described as amazing. He is a very good commander, really very good." said Torgaddon.

"And it is said that Du Kain and the Supreme Lord Commander of the Sixth Legion acted together, which means that the relationship between them is very good, and Du Kain also recognized the commander's ability." Torgathon analyzed.

"Secondly, I don't know if you've noticed that throughout the High Lord Commander's service, he never seemed to have any clearly recorded sparring or fighting with other legionnaires. And you and I both know that in all legions, duels and sparring in leisure time are very common. If a person has no record of sparring, then either he is too weak and no one is willing to challenge him, or another reason is that the opponent is too powerful, and even just a glance at him is enough to scare off most challengers." After saying this, Torgathon glanced at Sejanus.

"So, my friend, do you think this Supreme Lord Commander is the former or the latter?" Togarton said with a serious face.

"This... can't be so exaggerated, right?" Sejanus said after a moment of surprise.

"He is the disciple of the Seal Master. You should know that the Seal Master has many subordinates and staff, but when has he ever accepted a disciple?" said Togarton.

"This seems to be just a rumor, right? The seal holder never said it himself, nor did he announce it." Sejanus remembered the rumors he had heard before.

"For some sensitive matters, rumors may be the truth. What do you think?" Togaton took a deep breath and said. After spending a long time in the Warrior Society, Togaton was very experienced in extracting useful information from rumors.

"If this is true, what a powerful being he must be," Sejanus sighed. "But we still have to carry out the Primarch's orders. Our father believes it's an act of usurpation for the Supreme Lord Commander to call the Primarch his brother. You and I both know how great the Primarch is. While he won't directly interfere in the affairs of the VI Legion, I should remind this colleague."

"I know. I will do my best to complete the mission. Let's gather more information and then make a plan," Torgaddon said. Torgaddon had mixed feelings about his father's order. On the one hand, he did think the Supreme Commander, whom he had never met, was a bit arrogant. But on the other hand, Torgaddon believed that the emergence of beings similar to the Primarchs among humans was understandable. After all, besides the Emperor's uniqueness, there were also beings like the Sigillites. They were powerful and wise, earning the Primarch's respect.

"Okay, let's perfect the plan and be sure to pay attention to the means." Saijanus said.

------------

"Guests are arriving. Bringing the will of Horus." In the throne room of the Endless Journey, Balder's eyes snapped open. Just now, in a hazy vision, he'd seen a fragment of the future: a delegation from the Luna Wolves and the Third Legion, led by several exceptional Space Marines, was visiting. He had never met these people before, but he knew them.

"Horus's most admired son, Sejanus? And Torgathon? Haha, this captain who loves to joke and has a strong sense of justice, a member of the Council of Four Kings. And Akurduna, the legendary swordsman of the Emperor's Children." Balder smiled.

"Horus, you are truly scheming." Balder's eyes gleamed, and in an instant, he understood the whole story. He found it truly amusing that the other party was so openly plotting against him.

"It seems that, in the end, Chaos chose you for a reason." Balder sighed, his face changed and he fell into deep thought. In Sejanus's opinion, one of the reasons why Horus asked them to visit Balder was that Balder and Rus were brothers and had equal status. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was an act of usurpation.

But in reality, this was only the superficial reason, or one of the reasons. The fundamental reason was that Horus felt he had jumped too fast! He certainly knew more information than Cejanus and the others. The special relationship he established with the Iron Hands and the incorporation of the Fourth Legion and the War Dog Legion were all Balder's doing. Obviously, Horus wanted to teach Balder a lesson and make him less aggressive.

"Looking for trouble." Balder snorted coldly.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate." Balder originally really didn't want to pay attention to Horus at present. After all, he still had a lot of things to do. But now, the Primarch's obviously hostile behavior made Balder very unhappy.

Of course, revenge also requires means. At least now, everyone is playing within the same rules. Horus sent his strongest offspring to beat Balder, and Balder also needs to consider how to respond to Horus's challenge.

"Horus has clearly applied Cthonia's gang theory to the Legion," Balder pondered. At that moment, he thought of many things, such as the Warrior Society, the people surrounding Horus, and other things. Perhaps because Horus had targeted him, Balder's opinion of Horus plummeted.

"Actually, I don't think it's a good idea to have the entire 19th Legion always follow Horus," Balder muttered to himself, gazing at the star map nearby. Although many legions were split up before the Primarch's return during the Great Crusade to support other expeditionary fleets, one exception was the Raven Guard. This smaller legion had remained with Horus almost entirely until Klax's return, and remained a complete legion.

Let's not talk about the Emperor's Children for now, because at this point, they were even worse off than the Thousand Sons. The Thousand Sons seemed to have four-digit strength, while these legions, first plundered by the Figure King and then having their gene-seed destroyed by the Lunar Gene Cult, were in such a miserable state that by the time Fulgrim returned, they only had a few hundred men (some say 200 or 300). It was hard to even call them a company!

And honestly, while it's true that the Raven Guard is the newest legion, it's not as small as people imagine. After all, at the Battle of Isstvan V, Clarks led 5 men. Furthermore, the Raven Guard had previously exiled many members of the Warrior Society and suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Gate 8. If these forces hadn't been exiled, their combined strength would have been considerable. Remember, legions like the Death Guard only had 9.5 men at their peak.

"If possible, let the Emperor find Klax as soon as possible and remove the 19th Legion from Horus's control." Balder smiled. "Farstrider Star Map, help me find a planet..." Balder ordered after making up his mind.

"Yes, my master." The projection of a middle-aged man flashed by.

For Balder, finding the planet to save him wasn't a problem, but conveying the news of the planet's existence to the Emperor or the Sigillite without making a sound was a challenge. He had to do this well without arousing Horus's jealousy. The ultimate level of shady dealing was to act without the other party being aware of the situation.

After arranging this matter, Balder finally had his mind sorted out. As for whether he had any ideas about bringing the other Primarchs back early, Balder was still quite cautious. Or rather, if Horus hadn't gone too far this time, he wouldn't have wanted to do so.

As for whether he would try to pull down King Slash? Balder wasn't currently prepared to attack the Primarchs targeted by the Four Gods. And even if he tried to save someone, saving Magnus would surely be more beneficial than King Slash. As for trying to kill multiple people simultaneously? Wasn't that just a matter of life and death?

Chapter 112 Corax

"My lord, I have locked onto that planet, and several imperial fleets are sailing nearby. Three of them may reach this planet." A moment later, the Traveler Star Map found the place Balder wanted to find.

"Well, very good. Leave the rest to me." Baldur nodded. Looking at the relevant information on the projection, Baldur began to consider how to handle Corax's return. Baldur couldn't be so foolish as to directly tell the Emperor and the Sigillite that there was a child here for you, so you should go find it quickly.

Is this feasible? Of course it is. After all, the Emperor desires the swift return of his heir. However, this could easily lead to discontent. The Emperor would undoubtedly learn of Horus's displeasure with Baldur, yet Baldur would retaliate by recovering the Primarch of the 19th Legion, thus taking away Horus' greatest asset. It's a capable move, but it's difficult to articulate...

After all, Horus was the Emperor's favorite son, and would have been his favorite son before his rebellion. The Emperor was somewhat displeased with his scheme against Horus. And if the Emperor was displeased, it would be difficult for him to get things done.

Don't say it was Horus who started it, that he was disrespectful to me. It's useless to say that. Is the Emperor reasonable? He certainly isn't! Balder knew it well. If the Emperor hadn't been unable to control him, he might have already tied himself to the Golden Throne and used him as a powerful navigation light! Horus was the Emperor's son, and his most beloved son. The Emperor would certainly favor his relatives over his own.

The Emperor might even have tried to persuade Balder to let it go. "You've been reincarnated hundreds of times and lived for tens of thousands of years, why are you arguing with a child?" He was trying to smooth things over. So, Balder didn't even bother discussing this matter with the Emperor. He just went ahead and did it!

And how should I put it? On the surface, Balder's men were indeed quite ruthless, directly expelling tens of thousands of Space Marines from Horus's control forever. Of course, if we consider the future Horus Heresy and the conflict between Horus and the Corvus King, the future Emperor would also give himself a thumbs up.

"An Imperial fleet, a Mechanicus fleet, and a Rogue Trader fleet." Balder surveyed the star map, pondering which fleet to choose. Balder was already aware of his status as a god-ascended. Over tens of thousands of years, he had indeed gained the authority and godhood of travel. This authority and godhood went beyond simply absorbing the faith of travelers and gaining power through the advancement of human travel.

This also reflects the fact that Balder can, through his authority, influence human travel to a limited extent. The extent of this influence depends on how many of these fleets utilize Balder's technology, how many people revere Balder's historical identity or incarnation, and, most importantly, whether there is interference from other higher powers.

This authority is truly powerful and important! For example, right now, if Balder is willing and pays a certain price, then without any external interference, Balder can make one of the fleets "accidentally" enter the rescue planet!

So, a question arises: after the Horus Heresy, could Balder still exercise this power over the Chaos fleet? Well, it's possible, but the probability of success is very low! This is because the Four Gods have already intervened! The Chaos God's power could interfere with and override Balder's use of the Human Power of Travel. The Chaos God's current status is higher, his power is even greater. Furthermore, the Chaos God's influence has already been established, making it more difficult for Balder to exercise this power. Furthermore, Balder hasn't yet taken the final step to godhood, which is quite awkward.

What could Balder's power do during the Heresy? Presumably, it would simply allow the Imperial fleet to navigate more smoothly through the Warp Storms ignited by the Cthulhu. Gods are powerful, but not invincible. The Cthulhu couldn't permanently block the fleet's passage in the 30th century, and after Balder's authority and divine power were depleted, the blocking effect would be much smaller.

"The Imperial Navy? That's not a good option." Balder shook his head. If the Imperial Navy went, the system containing the Savage Star would have only two options: fight or surrender. If it was the former, that was fine; it would be a favor to Corax. After all, Corax wasn't as stubborn as Mortarion, who, after being pinned down by the xenos, still believed he could fight back, believing that the Emperor had robbed him of his glory.

But if it is the latter, then this will be troublesome. Corax resisted the oppression of the local ruler, and the ruler surrendered. According to imperial conventions, as long as you admit that you are part of the empire, as long as you are willing to pay tithes and serve the Great Far Certificate, you can continue to maintain your rule in the local area.

If Corax knew about this, wouldn't that completely break him? Before the Emperor came, it was these vampires who oppressed me. Now that my father is here, the Emperor is here, these vampires are still oppressing me! Wouldn't the Emperor's coming be in vain?

No, it's even worse than that! It's the Emperor's arrival that has made these tyrants even more oppressive! Because besides satisfying their own selfish desires, they also have to provide for the Great Crusade. Expecting those tyrants to donate their own blood to support the Great Crusade is unrealistic, so what else can be done? Naturally, the only option is to make the people suffer, and then let the blame fall on the Empire and Corax! That's right, Corax will bear the blame, after all, the Emperor is his father!

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to let the Imperial Fleet go, and Balder is really worried that because of the Empire's operations, Corax will be directly turned evil.

Well, if the Imperial Fleet doesn't work, then what about the Mechanicus? That won't work either! Tyrant rule is inhumane to the lower classes. But many of the Mechanicus aren't even human! They're even more powerful when it comes to exploiting them! And you can't resist, because the Mechanicus are really good at fighting.

In truth, the Emperor's decision to allow the Adeptus Mechanicus to intervene after the return of the Raven King was a mistake. What kind of people are they? They're a group obsessed with technology, willing to do anything for it! Even the Emperor has no solution! When they transform a planet into a Forge World, it means that, aside from the Adeptus Mechanicus, it's no longer suitable for normal human life...

Therefore, the Raven King's wish to give his subjects a better life was dashed. In fact, after the Great Rebellion, a rebellion broke out in the galaxy to which the Savior Star belonged, which was also resolved by the Raven King. Many people from the original Savior Star also complained about the Raven King, but the Raven King was truly loyal and did not rebel.

"What the Emperor has done? You're truly clueless in some respects. Or perhaps you simply don't care?" Balder complained. "Brutal methods only lead to brutal results. Disregarding humanity only earns the wrath and betrayal of others. Why don't you understand, Neos?"

After Balder finished complaining, he looked at the last fleet. This fleet was very small, just a medium-sized merchant and wanderer fleet. The largest ship was just a large cruiser.

The Rogue Traders of this era are nothing compared to those of the 40K era, who were thrilled to have a single Moon-class cruiser. The capital and wealth of the 30K era were relatively substantial. Unfortunately, pocket empires have become quite powerful in this era! Powerful pocket empires can even be a challenge for legions!

Obviously, such a fleet that had "strayed" would be no match for the enemy and would be treated as "chicken" by the tyrants of the system where the Savior Star resided. However, that didn't matter; at least they were indirectly supporting Corax's operation. And Balder would ensure the successful escape of some of the warships and relay this news back to Terra.

The Empire would most likely forgive the tyrants who surrendered, but for the tyrants who took the first step, there was nothing to say. Those who followed would still have a chance to surrender and atone for their sins. However, those tyrants would probably be crushed to ashes!

"Then, the Raven King's homeland cannot be handed over to the Mechanicus. At the same time, the Raven King must be trained. How should I put it..." Balder touched his chin and muttered to himself, "I feel like he's a bit weak..."

That's right, Balder's assessment of the Raven King was that he was a bit weak... If Russ's VI Legion at least fought against the Randan xenos and participated in the destruction of other legions, then the performance of the Raven Guard, or rather, the performance of the Raven Guard after Corax's return, was somewhat mediocre. Of course, in the 40K era, a guy who was called the strongest stalker besides the Primarch was even more embarrassing!

The Raven King is a good character, but his work is pretty average. Tactically, the Raven Guard favors stealth and asymmetric combat, but what about the Raven King? He's the type of character who can lead a small group, one tactic, and then lead an entire army, and it's still a tactic! Stealth isn't bad, but it's not enough if you only play Assassin's Creed. After all, small-group combat and large-scale combat are two completely different things.

Honestly, the Corvus King was often a background figure in various events. At the Battle of Gate 42, I was tricked by Horus. That's hard to explain. Then, playing an RTS game with Guilliman, I lost dozens of games except for the first one where I won by decapitation. Guilliman got so carried away that he admittedly found the game incredibly tempting.

Holy crap, this is Guilliman! Guilliman's battlefield command abilities are anything but impressive, but Baldur doesn't seem to be very good. For example, after killing the suspected Alpha Primarch, the U-Regiment, led by Guilliman himself, was driven out by Alpha's forces and forced to board the remnants of the Imperial Children's forces before being knocked out by Fulgrim.

Guilliman's command was already terrible, but the Corvus King was even worse... This was embarrassing. Then there was the Super Raven Guard, only to be sabotaged by the Alpha Legion. Another setback. Leman Russ at least had his moments of brilliance, but Corax had none...

Well, considering Corax had come to the rescue of the Wolves, who had been severely damaged by the Sons of Horus in the background, Balder would give him some face. You did a good job rescuing Russ. Balder thought the Raven King beating up Lorgar was pretty cool. So, Balder decided to help the Raven King.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Raven King will return soon, and upon his return, he will undoubtedly take control of the Legion. Currently, with so few Primarchs, the Raven King will likely not be very close to Horus. This is partly because, while the Raven Guard was small, it wasn't like the Emperor's Children, which were small. With more than five figures, there wouldn't be a problem, so he would likely act alone. Another reason is that the Raven King and Horus don't have a good relationship.

Simply put, it was that he and Horus didn't get along! The Raven King, for one, was truly a good person. He couldn't get along with a Primarch like Horus, who was naturally aloof and acted like a prince. Furthermore, the Raven King was deeply averse to the Warrior Society. Under these circumstances, the two were destined to clash. The Gate 42 Incident was the final culmination of a conflict that had already been building up.

As it stands, there are only three returning Primarchs. Horus isn't up to par, and Leman Russ isn't quite right either. Rus's own command skills are, well, just average, and Balder has plenty of other things to do. However, he could talk to Ferrus about letting him lead the Coronet King. Ferrus is a truly kind and capable person. Combining the Iron Hands' frontal assault with the Coronet King's infiltration and outflanking tactics would be quite effective. Thinking of this, Balder gave himself a thumbs-up.

"Some Primarchs need to come back early, while some are better left behind to reduce their influence on the Legion," Balder said in his heart.

It was impossible to postpone Fulgrim's return, as Balder, through the Sigillite, knew that the Imperium had discovered the planet called Chemos. As for the King of Killing, his return was already late. Magnus had already spoken with the Emperor in the Warp. The only other person was Mortarion, but we'll discuss that later.

The loyalist Primarchs needed to return sooner rather than later. Especially the Lions and Angels, Guilliman was in no hurry, for the Emperor knew where they were. Baldur calculated, thinking about when to help the Emperor and speed up the Primarchs' recovery.

"Alright, let's focus on the present, Corax. I've given you this opportunity, so don't let me down." Balder said, his humanity gradually fading. The Traveler regained control of his body. Within the Endless Journey's core cabin, an invisible barrier opened, completely isolating it from the outside world. A barely perceptible divine force emanated from it.

Then a fleet of Rogue Traders deviated from their planned route in the Warp and headed towards the system where the Salvation Star was located. Corax would soon be exposed to the Emperor because of Balder's calculations.

Chapter 113 Primarch Meeting (8K Chapter)

"My Lord, are you not going to intervene in the initial exchange between the two heirs?" The Sigillite asked curiously, looking at the Emperor beside him. "Horus and Russ are both very proud people. Their first meeting may not be harmonious."

"However, learning to get along with other brothers is also part of their growth. Horus is as proud as a prince. He has followed me the longest. In the future, he will also need to coordinate himself and the other Primarchs, as well as the relationship between other Primarchs." The Emperor said, looking at the ceremony in the distance that had entered the countdown.

"Don't worry, I will intervene if a stalemate occurs. I hope my children can leave a good impression from their first meeting." said the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Horus, along with his most distinguished sons and the Legion's honor guard, was already awaiting the arrival of Wolf Lord Leman Russ. In the square, the officers and soldiers of the Luna Wolves Legion formed massive phalanxes, their mighty warriors and swarms of war machines deployed around the central passage.

On the periphery of the Legion, on one side were the Titan Legion of the Mechanicus, and on the other side were a large number of human auxiliary troops. They and the Legion officers and soldiers formed two circles.

At the far end of the plaza stood Horus and his entourage, along with a throng of Terran bureaucrats, representatives from various planets, and even the Governor himself. They surrounded the Wolf-Shepherd God like stars surrounding the moon. Beside Horus stood a large number of officers and soldiers from other legions, also serving as spectators.

"Have you heard? The Space Wolves killed a noble family from a surrendered planet." An official from Terra whispered to the person next to him.

"This is a true story. It was a slave world. When the Space Wolves arrived, they surrendered after resisting. However, the Space Wolves refused the surrender of those nobles on the grounds that they had harshly oppressed their own kind, and carried out a purge of the nobles and rulers of that planet." said another official.

"This is against the rules."

"Doing this may set a very bad precedent." A group of people were discussing this at a distance from Horus, and their voices, which they thought were very small, could not be hidden from the Wolf Shepherd God and his descendants.

"Sejanus, what do you think about this matter?" The Wolf God looked at his offspring.

"The Legion is simply adapting to the situation," Sejanus replied immediately. "I understand the Space Wolves' approach. I also don't like those former vampires who, after surrendering, changed their skins and continued to lord it over their world."

"What you said makes sense, but my brother is still too rough in handling things, which has caused dissatisfaction among those mortal bureaucrats. We are the descendants of the Emperor, and we wage wars for the welfare and future of mankind, but many mortal bureaucrats are not like this. And my brother is obviously not suitable for handling these things." A smile appeared at the corner of Horus' mouth.

"Eichmander, you have contacted the Space Wolves before. What is your impression of them?" Horus said, looking at his offspring on the other side.

"At least they seem like a normal legion now. If you ignore Fenris's baffling and often inexplicable customs and practices, they've reached the average level of a legion. They're disciplined, swift, and tactically sound. They also seem to have a bit of an obsession with technology, which surprises me." Eichmander, known as Little Horus, thought for a moment and said, "By the way, there seems to be a lot of wizards in their legion. Of course, they call them rune priests."
