Traveling through the Warhammer world, but I didn’t cry.

The Primarchs communicated for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of ​​theoretically expanding on the Nine Angels and Nine Demons. This theory being strengthened time and time again can only lead human beings to go further and further down the irrational path. No one wants to be worshiped by mortals as gods.

The Primarchs resorted to the next best thing to justify the return of the Heresy's original theme in terms of a mission given by the Emperor.

"The Emperor has given me a difficult task, which is to find the children who betrayed him one by one, and make them kneel before the Golden Throne to repent. Only the Emperor can judge their guilt, and only the Emperor. "

Jaghatai answered to Stunus, but he did not mention Lin Fan's existence in his words. After all, to the countless Astra Militarum, Battle Sisters, Space Marines and other organizations in the vast empire, the name Lin Fan is both unfamiliar and ordinary. Even if it were replaced by the bandit number used by Lin Fan in the empire's operations in his early years - Holy Soap, it would only occupy a secret position in the huge archives of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Inquisition.

And who would believe what Lin Fan did if he told her about it? His case is really not suitable for propaganda to the people of the Empire. You must know that some people of the Empire don't even have the concept of gravity. They regard the physical effects of the gravity of different planets on them as a supernatural curse.

If it comes time to explain Lin Fan's origin, it's not impossible to explain. Just say "Emperor's Chosen" lightly, and then use a serious and dangerous tone to warn the inquirer not to talk too much. A smart person will know what to do.

"Retrieve all the Emperor's children...and then judge..." Stunus bowed his head to Jaghatai to thank him for his explanation. "Then can he really be trusted? After so many years, Corruption and depravity..."

"Do you doubt my judgment? Or do you doubt the Emperor's will?"

"Don't dare..."

Jaghatai looked at Stunus's unconvinced look and had nothing to say. He glanced at Fulgrim and said that this exchange event was held at his request. As a result, until now, Fulgrim is like a dull gourd, all occupied by Jaghatai Khan.

"Stunus, my brother's child." Fulgrim smiled and tried to suppress the sadness in his heart with this forced smile.

Stunus looked at Fulgrim with only doubt and disgust in his eyes.

"I do not seek your forgiveness for having done many ridiculous things...I only appear in front of you in the hope of conveying Ferus's will to you..."

Seeing that Stunus was about to curse his arrogant words, Fulgrim also expressed his thoughts in more sincere and concise words before he cursed.

"It is true that I killed my brother, your father. But you must also admit that among all the Primarchs, Ferus and I are brothers. I know him and I know what he hopes for the Iron Hand. and wishes.”

Fulgrim's words hit Stunus's weakness exactly - how the Iron Hands will develop in the future.

In a daze, Stunus seemed to see the scene of Ferus smashing the Iron Hands crest with a hammer in despair again.

"I..." Stunus wanted to say that he had no interest in Fulgrim's nonsense, but his slightly forward body betrayed his heart.

Flesh is bitter and weak, machinery is eternal.

This sentence is regarded as an unquestionable truth in the hands of steel. Hard steel is far better than fragile flesh and blood. The Iron Hands of all generations have viewed the flesh and blood on his body as a drag, and their irritation with the flesh has prompted them to inflict constant scars and punishment on it.

Hate weakness and reject the weak.

All Space Marines hate weakness, but the Iron Hands take this attitude to the extreme. They will seek to eliminate any perceived weakness, to the point of viewing allies such as the Imperial Guard and the Planetary Defense Force as weaknesses and refusing to fight alongside them.

Without heroes, there is no glory.

Among the Space Marines, a venerable elder and veteran is revered and admired by the Chapter. But here in Iron Hands, this rule doesn't work.

When a battle monk is qualified to become the Iron Father, he will gain huge voice and influence commensurate with his status. Other commanders in the Chapter take note of the Iron Father's opinions and treat them with the utmost respect. However, the Iron Hands were unimpressed with the respectful treatment and heroic titles given to them by Imperial forces.

They believe that the Space Marines are essentially the Emperor's tools of war, and that the function of the tool and its mission are the best rewards. All unnecessary activities beyond this are a failure and desecration of the mission of the tool. As long as a hammer can break stones, it is a good hammer. As for carving patterns on the rough hammer head or wrapping beautiful ribbons around the hammer handle, it is not necessary.

The Iron Hands had seen the splendid statues of Baal and Ultramar, and the shamans of Fenris covered in fur and bright feathers of various colors. They won't criticize the quirks of friendly forces, but they will still fight with friendly forces with dissatisfaction.

In difficult times, conflicts arose between the Space Marines. Then there were the Iron Hands' sarcastic remarks to their allies, comparing them to the fallen Emperor's Children.

These ideas have been operating within the Iron Hands for a long time, and there have been no obvious flaws until they entered the trap of the Sapphire King. These paranoid ideas became the trigger for the fall of the Iron Hands.

As Slaanesh often said: Thoughts come from a wide range of sources. You can think about them yourself, or you can get them by observing the behavior of other things. But no matter where the thought comes from, as long as it leaves a shallow impression in the mind, it will always appear. The only thing a living being can do is browse thoughts and practice them with the body. Dislike and hatred of an idea are essentially reinforcing them.

The Sapphire King died, taking with it a third of the Iron Hands. Not only did it severely damage the Iron Hands' military strength, it also shook the cold creed that the Iron Hands had always adhered to.

Now the Iron Hands only appear to be united, but privately there are also various undercurrents of thought.

Some clan elders sided with Stunus, believing that the humanity of the Iron Hands Chapter should outweigh the ruthlessness of the machines.

There are also some clan leaders who stand against Stunus, believing that the warband should be strong both internally and externally, with reason above all else.

As a Chapter Master, Stunus should act promptly and resolve the differences within the Iron Hands as quickly as possible. However, the unique organizational form of the Iron Hands Chapter resulted in Stunus only enjoying great power during the war, and after the battle, he was just a high-quality screw qualified to take over the position of 'Chapter Master'.
