Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 68: The High-profile Return of Old Thirteen
"Alpharius?" Ryan frowned. "You are our brother, why have I never seen you or heard of you?"

Angron's face showed the same confusion.

"I haven't heard of any new Primarch returning in this period of time!!"

Alpharius stood up, holding onto the wall.

"I was the first Primarch to return to my father. Terra was not yet unified at that time."

"For my safety and to paralyze the enemy, my father blocked all my information."

"It's normal that you haven't seen me or heard of me."

Angron and Lion stared at each other.

My father hid it quite deeply.

He returned so early on the 20th, but I never heard him mention it.

And let Horus occupy the title of the Son of the First Return.

Thinking of the First Returning Son, Ryan suddenly laughed.

The appearance of Alpharius must have made Horus look very happy.

"It is a good day, isn't it, Angron?"

Angron looked confused and didn't react for a moment.

"Ah, a good day?? What good day?"

“But Horus certainly doesn’t like this day,” Lion added, and Angron realized what he was talking about.

Horus has always been known as the Son of the First Return.

The appearance of Alpharius was definitely a huge blow to him.

Ryan asked again, just to be safe.

"You really returned before your father unified Terra."

Alpharius nodded, "Yes."

Ryan laughed.

"In other words, you are the first son to return?"

"In a sense, I am indeed the first son to return."

"Come on, let me take you to meet our brothers."

Lion took Alpharius and left.

At this time, the other Primarchs should be heading to the restaurant to prepare to have dinner together.

In order not to disappoint their father, the primarchs would basically eat together despite their conflicts, reflecting the brotherhood between them.

The Emperor's Grand Plan's dining room.

The appearance of Alpharius, the first Primarch to return, shocked the other Primarchs.

Horus was first conquered, then came unspeakable loss.

During this time, he was competing with Ryan for the honor of being the eldest son.

However, after Ryan gained the support of the First Legion, his reputation suddenly surpassed his.

The First Legion was the first legion created by the Emperor and the one that achieved the most feats.

After his return, the Sixteenth Legion performed very well, but its achievements were always inferior to those of the First Legion.

But now, even the title of the First Returning Son was about to be taken away.

This left him with a deep sense of depression and powerlessness.

"No need to be so depressed, Horus."

Sanguinius saw Horus's frustration and gently comforted him.

"The Great Crusade has only just begun. A short-term lag is nothing. The one who perseveres to the end is the real winner."

Horus gave Sanguinius a grateful look.

"Thank you, Sanguinius, you are so kind."

Russ pointed to the Astartes armor on Alpharius.

"Since you are our brother, why don't you come to see us first? Instead, you disguise yourself as someone else."

"Black wing emblem, green paint, this should be the armor of the First Legion. Can I ask you, who is the original owner of the armor?"

"I knocked the owner of the armor unconscious and stuffed him into a sleeping cabin," Alpharius explained.

"As for why I didn't come to see you right away, but disguised myself as an Astartes warrior."

"It's mainly to observe you and see if there are any traces of the enemy left on you."

"Traces left by the enemy?" Koz, who was staying in the shadows, spoke in a gloomy voice.

"Father once said the same thing. Do you know who the enemy is?" Dorn looked curious.

"A little, but not much," Alpharius said. "But I cannot tell you, not even a little."

When the Primarchs heard this, they looked disappointed.

They wondered who had stolen them and scattered them across the galaxy.

"Hey, why did you serve so many French fries?"

Alpharius noticed a problem.

In addition to the food and wine, there were also French fries and ketchup that took up one-third of the table. "It's always been a habit to serve French fries, but I forget why."

Ryan scratched his head and tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember.

"I only vaguely remember someone saying that if you can find the most delicious French fries, you can get important positions such as Warmaster and Regent."

Sanguinius added: "Not only can you obtain a high position, but you can also see all the secrets."

Alpharius: “.”

That's crazy, who chooses the warlord and regent based on the most delicious French fries and ketchup?

The appearance of Alpharius filled the hearts of the Primarchs with confusion.

They were eager to see the Emperor and get answers.

At this time, the Emperor was conducting experiments in the laboratory.

Examine the technologies obtained from the Eternal Universe and see what needs to be improved to adapt to this universe.

After learning that Alpharius was caught by Angron and Lion.

The raven laughed at Waldo.

"That's it, Valdo. You have to go back to Terra to guard the pond."

"Alpharius was lurking on the Emperor's Grand Mission, but you knew nothing about it. You are remiss in your duty."

Waldo had a black line on his forehead.

How obsessed is this guy with being exiled to guard the pond?

"I'm sorry, but with the increase in population and the development of infrastructure, there are no more ponds in Terra."

"It's okay. I can ask Malcador to build one for you."

Raven's words almost made Waldo vomit blood.

Waldo suppressed his speechlessness and explained, "Number 20 has just infiltrated, and is disguised as an Astartes."

"Astartes warriors often move between different ships and have certain privileges, so it's not difficult for them to deceive searches."

"The Imperial Guards don't have the ability to predict the future, so it's impossible for them to lock onto him from the beginning."

The raven laughed twice again.

"I don't care about that. I only care about when you will go back to guard the pond. Such a serious dereliction of duty cannot be forgiven."

Waldo: "."

"Raven, are you seeking revenge just because I said you deserved a beating when I was in the Eternal Universe?"

"I didn't." The raven turned its head away. "I'm not the kind of raven that likes revenge."

"I am just looking at the mistakes you made from a fair and impartial perspective."

"Is it really fair and just?" Waldo looked at Raven and continued.

"Terra has developed a new potato variety that tastes like ice cubes. If it's made into French fries, it will be icy and crispy."

After Waldo's words, Raven's tone suddenly changed.

"Waldo is indeed the pillar of the empire. Without Waldo, I don't know how bad the situation of the empire would become."

"How can I go back to guard the pond?! I need a promotion, and I need a promotion immediately."

"I immediately proposed to Big Guy that Waldo be appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Empire's Army and control all the Empire's troops."

".."

The Emperor paid no attention to the fight between Raven and Valdor, and concentrated on conducting experiments on technologies such as mass-energy conversion and large-scale replication.

Once these technologies are successfully applied to this universe, the empire will be able to increase its troops and equipment immediately.

By then, the Great Crusade would be a piece of cake.

A few days passed like this, and the Primarchs still failed to see the Emperor, but welcomed the return of another Primarch.

The sent-out squad of Custodians found the Thirteenth Primarch in a system called Macragge.

When No. 13 was found, he was building warships, recruiting troops, and planning to launch an expedition to make mankind glorious again.

After learning about his life experience and the existence of the human empire, No. 13 bid farewell to his adoptive mother and came with the Imperial Guards to meet his real father.

There were also more than a dozen Macragge warships accompanying them.

Thirteen has a high reputation in Macragge.

The local army was not at ease with their monarch leaving with a group of strangers.

They selected their elite troops to escort and follow along the way.

Without a doubt, Thirteen's return is the most high-profile among all the Primarchs.

After all, the previous Primarch who returned did not have a fleet accompanying him.

"Is this guy a king? Why is he coming here with an army?"

When Horus saw the fleet of No. 13, he felt that a more powerful competitor than Ryan had appeared.

Angron complained: "He doesn't look like he's here to see his father. He looks more like he's here to bring his troops to force the emperor to abdicate."

Ryan also added leisurely, "Perhaps, he came to see his father just to become the emperor of the empire."

PS: The Ultramarines Legion only has 200,000 Astartes, the rest are Ogryn
