Man in Warhammer, starting Primarch

Chapter 271 78, Horus and the Necrons

Among the dark stars, there is a world called Sotaan.

Horus stood on the land of this planet. He ignored the poison and radiation of this dark world. He stood there and took a deep breath once, and then again.

Blood surged through his majestic body, bringing strength to every cell.

The air traveled back and forth between his lungs at several times the speed of ordinary people. The original body used his astonishing will to forcefully control every cell in the body. In the microscopic friction of these cells, the invisible electromagnetic force field gradually covered His whole body.

His breath was as powerful as a tsunami.

Horus is digesting the treasure brought out from the mysterious place where all directions meet.

After breathing for a period of time, he relaxed his body and felt a majestic force flowing through his body.

Horus exhaled slowly, raised his head and focused his gaze on the two purple-red stars that were about to rise in the distance.

The movement of stars symbolizes the passage of time.

After noticing this, the short-term joy in Horus's heart disappeared, and the sense of urgency came to him again.

Even if he brought out a pleasant treasure from the intersection of all directions, he no longer had to go to the Gate of Moroch, which saved him a lot of time.

However, the growth of the original clone takes time, and what he lacks most is time.

Dukel may come to the door at any time, and the advancing front line of the Imperial Army is approaching.

How to stop the empire's offensive now has become Horus' most important consideration at this time.

Sota'an is a dark world. There are no resources here, only poisonous swamp gas and radiation left over from past wars. In such a world, even the dark creatures in the subspace do not want to live here.

According to common sense, no one would notice such a world. It is as inconspicuous as a rock on the vast ocean.

But if you can't stand it, the imperial fleet will occasionally pass by this world and throw a few torpedoes down for fun.

Don't ask why the Empire would do such a thing.

Even Horus, who was once the Warmaster of the Empire, could not understand this behavior, but in recent times, such things have been common.

Ever since the empire's army entered the subspace, this human army led by Dukel has completely let itself go.

They don't care whether the dark world is valuable, or even whether there are enemies on it. Whenever they encounter one, they will first throw two torpedoes to say hello.

The behavior of the army was exactly the same as that of their masters, who were equally arrogant and overbearing.

The world of Sotaan exists in a binary star system.

These two planets are already in their twilight years, but due to their low mass, they will not undergo violent evolution easily.

But their weak light spectrum has changed, becoming dim and without heat under the refraction of Sotaan's world's atmosphere.

The slight coldness was not taken seriously by Horus.

A small storm gathered around him.

Horus looked at the rolling sand and stones, thinking silently.

The war on Beria IV made him see many things clearly.

This battle undoubtedly ended with the victory of the human empire.

But Horus was not at a loss, he also got what he wanted.

It's just that the demons under the Chaos Gods suffered heavy casualties. In the short term, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to reassemble such a large-scale legion to buy myself time.

The imperial army led by Dukel was so powerful that the demons were routed and were easily and ruthlessly crushed.

In Dulquer, Horus saw the Emperor's brave side.

The devil was the most powerful card in Horus's hand, but this card has lost its effectiveness now.

This gave him a sense of helplessness.

Suddenly, Horus tilted his head and made a listening gesture, as if he had received some kind of message.

Then he took steps and quickly came to Sota'an, a temple that was built recently.

In the hall, a golden giant has been waiting there for a long time.

"Luojia, have you really found an ally for us?" Horus paused before continuing to ask,

"Do they really have enough power to fight Dukel?"

"Of course you can." Luo Jia answered him with her chin raised slightly, looking confident, "Come with me, brother."

A teleportation gate that had already been built lit up at this moment.

The two original bodies stepped into it one after another, and things in Horus's eyes changed. After being briefly dizzy due to the teleportation, they stepped onto a sand dune.

"We could find an ancient lost being here. Their power is unquestionable, and I'm sure they would be interested in helping us."

Luojia and Horus walked side by side on the yellow sand. As they walked, he explained to each other.

As he finished speaking, the sand dunes suddenly shook, and a group of humanoid creatures came out from beneath the ground buried in the yellow sand.

What they held in their hands was a Gauss ray gun that emitted a faint green light.

"Drop your weapons before we open fire."

Horus followed the dull mechanical sound and looked over, but to his surprise, it turned out to be a human face.

The other person's face was no different from that of a human being, but after careful observation, he found that there seemed to be a slightly invisible arc flashing in the other person's eyes.

Horus was not sure for a while whether these guys were human beings, mechanical creations, or both.

"Intruders, you are sentenced to death." These people surrounded the two original bodies.

"Luojia, is this the ally you mentioned?" Horus ignored them and tilted his head, "An alien species?"

Luo Jia opened her mouth, but didn't wait for his answer.

"F**K, Y...\u0026" A burst of angry curses rang out first, "You humble idiot, how dare you assume our race!"

The other party was extremely angry and dancing, but if you listen carefully, you can clearly detect that there is no biological emotion in the other party's voice.

The other party stared closely at Horus's face, spitting insults in various galactic dialects and slang.

But suddenly, there seemed to be a flow of information flashing in the other party's eyes, and the insults stopped abruptly.

"I recognize you, intruder." The man continued, "Son of betrayal, you have betrayed His Majesty's glory, extinguished the hope of the empire, and reduced the shared ideals of mankind to nothing. Your crimes are as numerous as the stars, you He deserves to be sentenced to death!”

The man loudly accused Horus of his crimes thousands of years ago.

But suddenly, because his movements were too large, half of his face drooped.

Although in the next moment, this half of the face was put back on.

But Horus still saw clearly, the true appearance behind the disguise - it was a steel skeleton shaped like a skeleton.

This man was still accusing Horus of his sins.

Every accusation was made from a human perspective, and the other person's words were impassioned, as if he was truly a loyal soldier of the Human Empire.

Then here comes the problem.

If you are a human being, who am I?

Frankly speaking, he had heard such accusations many times, but he had never been as speechless as he was at this moment.

Not only did the other party's insults not bring any anger to Horus, but it actually made him feel a little funny.

He looked at Luo Jia beside him,

Horus was not averse to forming alliances with alien races. In the past, he even imagined the coexistence of multiple races and made efforts to achieve this.

His tolerance for the alien race even made Sanguinius feel that he was too extreme.

But no matter how tolerant he is of the alien race,

Nor can we find a group of mentally ill aliens as allies.

Luo Jia shook his head slightly, then took a step forward and said, "We come with good intentions and ask for an alliance to fight against our common enemy. I believe that the master of the dynasty will be willing to listen to our words, so don't stop us, Soldier."

"You are also a sinner." The man directed his scolding words at Luo Jia, "The words of a traitor are meaningless. There is no betrayal small enough to be tolerated!"

After finishing speaking, the man raised the Gauss ray gun in his hand, and the green light flashed.

But Horus exploded faster at this moment, and the treasure brought out from the intersection made his power and speed even more unpredictable.

Press the activation rune of the war hammer in your hand, and a faint blue power field lingers on the surface of the weapon.

The spikes on the hammer's head were larger than the man's head.

With just a casual wave, a harsh sound of wind erupted in the air.

With a loud bang, the man was hit and his head flew up. The skin on his face was completely torn to pieces, and silver-white active metal debris flew everywhere.

The light in the man's eyes quickly disappeared, and the energy circuit had obviously been destroyed.

Another immortal's gauss weapon fired a pulse of dark green energy, but Horus effortlessly dodged it.

The Gaussian pulse hit a boulder, instantly leaving a perfectly round hole on the boulder, with a hissing sound coming from the edge of the hole.

The power of the enemy's weapons made Horus frown slightly, but in the next moment, he rushed forward.

When the opponent's weapon was charging, he struck it with a hammer, knocking off the opponent's active metal skull.

The remaining Necrons who tried to besiege Horus were easily knocked to the ground by the original.

Huge war hammers were placed on their active metal heads. As long as there was the slightest movement, they would be smashed down without hesitation.

At this moment, three space undead that looked completely different appeared here.

Their mechanical bodies are masterpieces of craftsmanship that can be called art. Even Horus couldn't help but marvel at the sophistication of these masterpieces.

They no longer look like skeletons, as if there is flesh and blood inside the metal body.

Every movement has impeccable energy, and the costumes are simple yet incredibly elegant.

Holding a spear, he exuded nobility and pride.

"Stop your stupid behavior."

One of the three Necrons made a sound, tapping the war spear in his hand on the ground, and a magical technological force field spread.

"Our affairs have nothing to do with you. We are not your vassals. Do the Three Holy Guards even want to intervene in this?"

The Necron, who was still fighting Horus, responded.

"We are not trying to prevent you from taking any revenge against this person, but this person is indispensable to our lord. According to predictions, our lord is facing an unprecedented threat. If no measures are taken, tens of millions of people will be killed. The stars will turn into ashes and everything will pass away.”

There was communication between them that was difficult for humans to understand, and the thinking matrix jumped millions of times in ten thousandths of a second.

Eventually, the Necron besieging Horus laid down their weapons and they compromised.

The words of the Three Holy Guards are correct.

"You're lucky." Following his words, a green halo of light appeared behind him.

These Necrons looked at Horus deeply, as if they wanted to remember his face forever, and then walked into the circle of light.

The strange aperture closed and they disappeared.

"I am the chief justice of the Three Holy Guards. I am here to ensure cooperation with you. Who among you is the leader?"

A member of the Three Holy Guards spoke up.

Luojia looked at Horus beside him.

He knew that the proud Warmaster would not put his status below his own.

If he stood up now, the relationship between them would definitely deteriorate.

"He is the leader." Luojia pointed at Horus and said.

Horus said nothing, acquiescing.

"We came with friendship, but you seem to be very rude." Horus said.

"The previous conflict was just a mistake. We did not expect that you would suddenly appear on this land." The Grand Justice explained.

Horus frowned slightly, but for the sake of his longer-term plan, he suppressed the anger in his heart and stopped pursuing the matter.

"In this case, let's put aside the past. I need to talk to your lord to discuss the conclusion of the alliance."

"We have the right to represent the Three Saints Conference and sign an alliance with you. You can make requests to me."

When the Necron said these words, the atmosphere in the field suddenly solidified.

The Necron's continuous arrogance and disrespect completely ignited the suppressed anger in Horus's heart.

With the raging fire of anger burning on his majestic body, he looked at the members of the Three Holy Guards.

"We come with friendship. This is not to beg you, but we have a common enemy. You can continue to be arrogant, and I will turn around and leave. Just wait for my brother to kill me, and then I will kill you all The alien race that claims to be noble will be trampled under your feet, and you will regret your arrogance today."

Horus's angry voice evolved into almost substantial thunder, and dark lightning echoed over the empty desert.

"Let them come over and confront me."

A message appeared on the Grand Inquisitor's communications system, from none other than the titular ruler of the Necrons, the great Silent King.

"Your request is granted, and you will speak directly with the last and greatest King of Silence, and you will be impressed by his greatness."

The Grand Inquisitor made a mechanical sound.

The arrogance of the Necron once again angered Horus, but for the sake of a greater goal, he once again forced himself to calm down.

But he swore that as long as he successfully stopped Dukel and changed the fate of the End Day, the Necron would be his next enemy.

Horus vowed to make these self-proclaimed ancient alien races pay the price and let them understand that the galaxy no longer belongs to their world.

The stars belong to mankind, and the glory belongs to the empire. In the era of brilliance like gold, these ancients are destined to be buried in the sand.
