Chapter 189 Qingshan Nayanhan

Somewhere in the warp.

A huge 26-kilometer-long warship is sailing quietly.

The Glorious Queen-class battleship, Macragge's Glory.

It is difficult to describe the magnificence and beauty of this giant ship. It organically combines ferocious weapons with gorgeous decorations, making anyone who witnesses this giant ship feel awe.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the calm subspace, and the battleship shook gently twice, like a giant beast shaking its body, trying to drive away the fleas on its body.

This journey through the Warp was the most peaceful that Robert Guilliman had experienced in some time.

The raging storm is subsiding.

The power of Chaos is fading.

At this moment, the Primarch suddenly realized.

Even in the Warp, the Four Chaos Gods are not omnipotent.

They do not yet dominate the entire Warp.

Creating an energy storm in the subspace and blocking communications and transportation in an area of ​​the star system still comes at a price, even for those beings.

They...are not invincible.

Roboute Guilliman clenched his fists tightly.

The majestic giant stood in his room, wearing the famous Armor of Reason. The azure armor seemed to be emitting light. He wore the Hand of Domination glove on his left hand and a blazing dagger on his belt. His every move revealed the style of strength and will.

Pulling his mind away from thoughts about Chaos and Darkness, Robert Guilliman raised his head and looked at the thick stack of manuscripts on the desk.

Those unfinished manuscripts embody the Primarch's lifelong military wisdom and war concepts.

On the top biochemical parchment, the title is written:

The Codex Astartes.

…

Fu Qinghai is conducting experiments step by step in the research vessel.

The advantage of Tony Stark's electronic soul backup is that many calculations, deductions, and logical verification processes can be completed directly in the brain without the assistance of instruments and equipment.

Master Quinto is the person in charge of this research vessel, which is a reflection of the status of a high-ranking priest of the Mechanicus. Even if he is not on Mars at the moment, the resources that Master Quinto can mobilize are far beyond Fu Qinghai's imagination.

Fu Qinghai was working hard when Master Quinto, who usually appeared and disappeared like a ghost in the laboratory, suddenly appeared behind Fu Qinghai. The mechanical tentacles extending from under his robe were like octopus, holding various bottles and jars at the end. One of the mechanical tentacles handed an electronic tablet to Fu Qinghai.

"Ogedei is looking for you."

Fu Qinghai took it and saw that it was Ogedei notifying him to return to the surface.

Fu Qinghai removed the mechanical eye stuck on half of his face, took off his silicone gloves, and got out of the densely packed mechanical servo arms and precision welding guns on the operating table. He said to Master Quinto:

"Okay, Master, I'll go down and see what's going on."

…

Fu Qinghai had just returned to the temporary base of the legion in the Judgment Hall when Talal came up to him and told him,

"Put on some clothes and pay attention to your appearance."

Fu Qinghai was wiping the dust off his helmet. He looked up when he heard this:

"The Khan wants to summon me?"

Talal shook his head.

"No, it's Sizu, Ilia Lavallee. According to the latest rank awarded to her by the Military Affairs Department, you should call her Lieutenant General Lavallee, or according to the custom of us Chogris people, call her Sizu."

Sizu means "saint" in Khorchin language.

He is not the "living saint" of the Imperial State Religion. There is no such institution as the Imperial State Religion and no title of "living saint" now.

But it is also a highly respected title.

For the Chogris.

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"I see."

Talal seemed to be worried that Fu Qinghai would look down on that person, so he reminded him,

"Although she is a mortal, you should speak with respect. She is very important to the Khan and the Legion."

Fu Qinghai said with a smile:

"Don't you know me? I'm known for being polite."

Talal laughed and scolded:

"screw you."

Fu Qinghai held his helmet and walked along the winding corridor towards the depths of the Judgment Hall.

In a room full of documents and data modules, Fu Qinghai saw the middle-aged woman in a general's uniform.

She turned around, her short gray hair, neat and meticulous uniform, and wrinkles all over her cheeks.

Her voice was flat:

"Hello, Captain Qingshan."

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"Hello, Si Zu."

Fu Qinghai did not choose to call her "Lieutenant General Lavallee", but instead called her "Sizu" in accordance with the custom within the legion.

The old woman looked at Fu Qinghai with interest and said:

"You speak standard Low Gothic. Are you not from Chogris?"

Fu Qinghai replied:

"Yes, I am from the Levant Hive, you may not have heard of this place."

Elia Lavallee says:

"I've heard of it. If I remember correctly, the Levantine Hive World is located in the La Spezia sector of the Segmentum Obscurus."

Fu Qinghai was slightly surprised and said,

"You are just as the rumors say, you are well-informed and have a good memory."

The Levant Hive is an ordinary hive world. Among the two million worlds within the empire, there is nothing worth remembering. However, Ilia Lavallee can remember it, and this is her extraordinary feature.

Elia Lavallee said:

"Have you heard of me?"

Fu Qinghai nodded and said:

"Ilia Lavarre, advisor, organizer, observer, and usher to the Great Khan."

Ilia Lavallee was not at all complacent, perhaps because she had heard too much similar praise in the past. She crossed her arms and said:

"I am even more curious about you because you were chosen by the traditional and conservative Chogris to join the ranks of the White Scars and were promoted to captain in just two years and five months."

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my record, Sizu."

"No, I'm not referring to your record. I've read the post-war report submitted by Ogedei, the post-war report handed over to us by the Ultramarines, and the post-war report you wrote yourself."

Elia Lavallee says:

"Compared to those battle records, compared to those cold statistics of enemy kills, I am more curious about their evaluation of you."

"In the battle of the Space Hulk, Captain Aoyama displayed astute resourcefulness, fearless courage, and admirable sacrifice."

Ilia Lavallee casually repeated a passage from the post-war summary report and said,

"This is Captain Set Vlahos's evaluation of you. He also said: In the battle on Loswell Planet 7, Sergeant Aoyama's speed, swiftness, and lethality left a deep impression on everyone."

Fu Qinghai said:

"He is too kind."

Although he said so, there was no trace of modesty on his face.

Ilia Lavare looked quietly into Fu Qinghai's eyes. Although Fu Qinghai was half a body taller than her, she did not show any sign of timidity. Perhaps she was already used to dealing with these little giants.

She said:

"You seem to be full of confidence in the position and responsibilities you are about to take on."

"Yes."

Fu Qinghai answered calmly and firmly, but did not explain where his confidence came from.

Ilia Lavalle suddenly stopped questioning Fu Qinghai. She smiled and said directly,

"The Khan is waiting for you inside. Go in and see him."

Fu Qinghai was slightly stunned. He thought that Ilia Lavallee was going to question him in detail about his past experiences, but after a nonsensical conversation, he was directly asked to meet the original master.

Fu Qinghai didn't stay for long. He nodded to Ilia Lavare and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Be careful, he's in a bad mood recently."

Ilia Lavallee's instructions came from behind.

Fu Qinghai paused to indicate that he had heard it, and then left the room filled with files and data modules.

Walking on the road, Fu Qinghai recalled the conversation just now.

Ilia Lavallee was a well-known mortal officer among the White Scars. Fu Qinghai had heard Ogedei mention her before.

At that time, Ogedei's original words were: "You are quite similar to Sizu in some aspects."

It refers to Fu Qinghai's obsessive-compulsive behavior of having to put everything in order.

Ilia Lavallee is a Terran, a woman, a logistics officer sent to the White Scars by the Ministry of Military Affairs. She is responsible for statistics, coordination, planning... and most importantly, for holding on to the White Scars, a group of prodigals who go deep into the void, far away from the world, and are elusive and unruly.

It was really too much to expect a mortal woman to hold the reins of the Primarch and the entire Legion, but Ilia Lavallee did it to some extent, at least she won the respect of Jaghatai Khan and the White Scars.

According to Ogedei's description, Ilia could remember thousands of transport ships, hundreds of millions of troops, trillions of laser guns, and quadrillions of battery packs clearly in her mind. She built a complex and precise logistics network for the Fifth Legion's Great Crusade, put statistical tags on every White Scars bomb, and marked the deployment and supply type for every White Scars fleet.

Fu Qinghai knew that if he could really become a powerful company commander, he would inevitably have to deal with Ilia Lavallee in the future.

"Independence" sounds free and easy, but if there is no logistical support from the Ministry of Military Affairs, do we have to learn from those poor bastards like the Man-eating Shark and collect gray tax and blood tax?

As Fu Qinghai was thinking, he walked into the large conference room at the innermost part.

Apparently, this was once the highest court of the Ministry of Justice, but now it was occupied by various military facilities and equipment. The White Scars did not cover the place with Chocorean-style furs, flags, and carpets, but instead maintained its simple and messy original state.

A tall and majestic giant stood in front of the former jury podium, with his back to himself, facing the glass floor-to-ceiling window. The dim white light shone in front of him, and his broad back cast a large shadow on the floor.

"The Khan."

Fu Qinghai knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.

"Lift your head up so I can see your face."

The Primarch's low and majestic voice was like a muffled thunder coming from the sky. Fu Qinghai raised his head as he was told and looked into his eyes.

His long black hair was tied up high, with sharp upturned eyebrows, tightly pursed thin lips, a red lightning scar on his forehead, a high nose bridge, and a thick moustache like a spear. His eyes were like stars in the dark night, and also like the deep, dark sea.

The Khan was not wearing power armor, but instead an old-fashioned Khitan hunter costume consisting of furs, long boots, and a dark red cloak.

Fu Qinghai could feel his gaze lingering on the scar on his nose for a moment, and then the Primarch turned around and faced away from Fu Qinghai.

"Stand up."

He ordered calmly.

Fu Qinghai stood up straight, with his chest and head held high.

"You are an orphan that Ogedei picked up in a pioneering colony."

"Yes, Khan."

"It was the transformation surgery Quinto Anastasio performed on you."

"Yes, Khan."

"I can see the murderous intent in your eyes, and I can also feel the strong body under your armor..."

At this point, Chagatai Khan paused for a moment and chuckled,

"Humph, that old guy's craftsmanship is pretty good."

Fu Qinghai knew who the "old thing" he was talking about was. It should be Master Quinto.

"Qingshan, Qingshan...what a good name."

The Khan was muttering something. From this angle, Fu Qinghai could see his profile, high cheekbones, and thin cheeks. His eyes were looking out the window with a somewhat absent-minded expression.

"Have Ogedei and Ilia told you that I have been in a bad mood recently?"

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"I have heard that, Khan."

"Do you know why?"

"I..." Fu Qinghai hesitated for a moment and said:

"I can probably guess."

"oh?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chagatai Khan turned around and looked at Fu Qinghai:

"Tell me your guess."

Fu Qinghai glanced at the original body's expression, carefully considered his words in his mind, and said tentatively:

"Is it because of the matter of Lord Qinxia, ​​Lord Yesugei and Juba Khan?"

"snort!"

Chagatai Khan let out a heavy and angry snort from his nose, and the fierce light in his eyes suddenly made Fu Qinghai's heart shudder. He stared at Fu Qinghai and said slowly:

"You are right."

"Qin Xia is dead, Yesugei is dead, and Zhuba is also dead..."

Having said this, the Primarch sighed deeply.

"They were my friends, my mentors, and my loyal subordinates, but now they are all gone."

A look of pain and reminiscence flashed across the Khan's face, and Fu Qinghai realized that the Primarch could also have sad moments.

Qin Xia, Lord of Qiexue, leader of the White Scars Primarch's personal guards, and the most powerful man under the Primarch of the Fifth Legion.

During the Horus Heresy, in the Warp rift called Catareus, one third of the Emperor's Children and the entire Death Guard were mobilized, vowing to encircle and kill the White Scars here. Qin Xia put on the armor of Jaghatai Khan, pretended to be a Primarch and fought against the Emperor's Children's Lord Commander Eidolon, but was tricked by the old man with a specially modified throat using sonic attacks. Qin Xia was killed by Eidolon, but it bought time for the White Scars to escape and transfer.

Talihutai Yesugei, director of the think tank, the legion's chief storm prophet, the Fifth Legion's top psychic, as well as the legion's second-in-command, and Chagatai Khan's staff advisor.

Also on Catarus, Yesugei sacrificed himself to forcibly activate the relic device "Black Glaze". His psychic energy was drained and he turned into a mummy. The Black Glaze led the White Scars main fleet into the Webway and returned to Terra.

The black glass is said to be the prototype of the Golden Throne. After the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, he could not maintain the Astronomican. The Astronomican had to rely on a thousand psychics as firewood every day to survive. You can imagine how terrifying this thing is.

Juba Khan, Captain of the White Scars' 1st Company and a master hunter, fought Abaddon in single combat during the Solar War and was killed by the Braided Dreadlocks.

The First Company is the Veteran Company. The Captain of the First Company is an extremely honorable position in every legion and chapter, second only to the Lord of the Keshig. Ezekiel Abaddon is the Captain of the First Company of the Luna Wolves, and Azak Ahriman is also the Captain of the First Company of the Thousand Sons.

The above three people were Chagatai Khan's most trusted people. Once they died, Chagatai Khan basically had few powerful subordinates who were trustworthy and worthy of his entrustment.

It is understandable that the Primarch was resentful, sad and angry.

Fu Qinghai understood that it was time for him to show off. He stepped forward, pounded his chest with his fist, and said loudly:

"I am willing to share your worries, my Lord!"

Chagatai Khan did not laugh at Fu Qinghai's courage to overestimate his own capabilities. His eyes were as calm as water, and he said,

"I have read your post-war summary report, and I personally approved your promotion. I recognize all the qualifications you should have as a company commander, whether you die or not."

The Primarch looked up and down at Fu Qinghai's power armor and said:

"I heard that you are good at making weapons and equipment?"

"Yes, Khan."

When answering this question, Fu Qinghai was even more confident.

"Very good." The Khan nodded. "The organization of each brotherhood of the Legion is incomplete, but I will not revoke the titles they have earned with honor and blood. From this moment on, Qingshan, you will serve as the captain of the 11th Company of the White Scars, and the Nayan Khan of the Brotherhood of God."

Brotherhood of the God Machine?

Fu Qinghai was still pondering the name when the Primarch shouted,

"Qingshan Nayan Khan!"

"exist!"

Fu Qinghai was startled and stood at attention and answered loudly.

"Do you have any questions?"

Chagatai Khan's eagle eyes stared straight into Fu Qinghai's eyes.

"...Yes, Khan."

"explain."

"Excuse me, Great Khan, where is my Orudo?"

Although he was a little afraid to look Chagatai Khan in the eye, Fu Qinghai still straightened his chest and asked loudly.

This is a crucial issue. Although the brotherhood has its name, we can't always be a lone commander.

"Um..."

Hearing this question, Khan fell silent.

Both of them were well aware of the current situation of the White Scars.

After fighting one intense battle after another, how many people are left in the already small number of White Scars?

None of the ten Dalian companies is fully staffed.

The key Primarchs also made it clear that they were unwilling to split up the organization and reassemble it.

So, where did the troops come from?

Chagatai Khan withdrew his gaze from Fu Qinghai's face, turned slowly, and looked out the window.

The Primarch did not directly answer Fu Qinghai's question, but looked into the distance and slowly said:

"Qingshan, Yesugei once told me a story. Now I want to share this story with you. Are you willing to listen?"

"Of course, my Lord."

Fu Qinghai answered immediately.

When it comes to matters of commanding troops and holding power, he is willing to listen to whatever the Primarch has to say.

"That is an old Dalkan legend..."

Chagatai Khan turned his back to Fu Qinghai and narrated in a calm tone:

"Once there was a Khan who was marching in the enemy's territory. He was accompanied by his three brothers, all of whom were trustworthy brothers and sisters. But on the eve of the battle, he discovered that his brothers were colluding with the enemy and hoped to reach a private reconciliation with the enemy."

"The Khan was furious and summoned them to his tent. The brothers told him that they had been deceived and regretted their actions, but this did not dispel the Khan's anger. The three brothers knew the laws of the tribe very well and were all ready to be killed."

"As usual, the Khan asked for the advice of the Storm Prophet. The first five Storm Prophets all suggested beheading them, but the sixth Storm Prophet expressed the opposite opinion. The Khan asked for the reason for letting them go, and the Storm Prophet replied like this—"

"He said: 'Khan, our enemies are very cunning: if their lies succeed, they will succeed in dividing us; if their lies are exposed, your brothers will be killed. In any case, your tribe will be weakened, and they will win the battle.'"

Having said that, Chagatai Khan turned around, looked at Fu Qinghai, and asked:

"Do you know how the Dark Angels treat traitors?"

Fu Qinghai nodded: "I've heard a little bit about it."

Khan said:

"The descendants of the Lion, they call themselves the Unforgiven, they vow to chase the fallen angels to the ends of the earth, to the corners of the galaxy, to the end of the universe."

After that, the Khan shook his head and said:

"Then do you know how I deal with the traitors in the Legion?"

Fu Qinghai replied:

"You let them wear the black Terminator armor that symbolizes atonement, and form them into the Black Qiexue Squad to launch a desperate charge towards the place where the enemy's artillery fire is the most intense and the resistance is the most stubborn."

Khan nodded: "That's right."

"In the old story, the Storm Prophet said: 'To a warrior, honor is everything. Your brothers have been dishonored by betrayal, and they will stop at nothing to wash away their shame. They will fight bravely until they die in battle to restore their honor. Khan, if you follow my advice, victory will be yours.'"

"What was the final result?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

Chagatai Khan smiled slightly:

"History is written by the victors, what do you think?"

Fu Qinghai nodded, as if thinking about something, not quite understanding it.

I understand the logic, but what does this have to do with the fact that I have no soldiers under my command?

Chagatai Khan's gaze drifted out the window again, and he said in a leisurely tone:

"Dorn, Vulkan, Guilliman, Russ, Corax... Soon, all the loyal Primarchs will gather on Terra. Today, I held a brief meeting with the Primarchs who have arrived on Terra. Everyone's chest is filled with the rage of revenge. As expected, a baptism that will sweep across the Empire is about to come. In a sense, this will also be another catastrophe after the Great Heresy..."

Chagatai Khan looked at Fu Qinghai:

"After listening to my story, Qingshan, do you know what to do?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep, and nodded slowly:

"I understand, Khan."

…

Fu Qinghai was on his way out of the conference room.

He lowered his head, looking very worried.

The Primarch gave me a general idea but did not provide any specific methods. What should I do?

In the empty and deserted passage, Fu Qinghai's magnetic shoes stepped on the marble floor, and the footsteps echoed muffledly.

Suddenly, a long-lost voice sounded from the deepest part of Fu Qinghai's mind:

[Prepare to enter the next reincarnation world, please quickly select the items within your control or the abilities you have already acquired to start assimilating]

[Available options]

…

Fu Qinghai was stunned.

Is it time to start a new cycle?

But some of my experiments are not finished yet!

[About to enter the next reincarnation world, countdown, 10, 9, 8...]

Shit!

Fu Qinghai hurriedly took a step and ran to the army's armory. Although the remaining assimilation points were few and far between, before entering the next reincarnation world, every bit of assimilation counted. One more weapon meant one more guarantee.

However, before Fu Qinghai could run to the armory, the countdown was over, and a white light flashed... but Fu Qinghai was still standing in the passage of the judgment hall and did not leave.

Fu Qinghai was in a daze when a reminder sounded:

[Welcome to the main world of reincarnation, Warhammer 40K universe-SSS level]

[Since you have won the last major event of the plot line, your camp is automatically locked - Emperor Camp Plot Line]

[Please start your reincarnation adventure! ]

Returning to the Warhammer 40K universe?

Fu Qinghai stopped and stood still, thinking in his mind.

Where there is a world of reincarnation, there must be major plot events.

Combined with what Chagatai Khan had just said to him, the name of the major event of this plot line is about to come out -

The Great Purge!

......

　Thanks to the Sky Wings of the Sun God, Mo Supreme, who is as aggressive as fire and as powerful as thunder, neither an immortal nor a demon, and several book friends for their rewards.
