Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 373: Sober People and Savage People

Chapter 373: Sober People and Savage People (Editor-in-Chief Addition!)
Inside the White Scar Khan's military tent, the air was filled with a faint and distant scent of sandalwood.

There seemed to be mortal musicians outside the military tent, playing some kind of orchestral instrument, which made the atmosphere inside the tent particularly elegant and transcendent.

"Many people think that the White Scars are barbarians from remote areas, and that they leave horrible scars on their bodies according to ancient barbaric customs. But in this 31st millennium, how many people can still understand music, appreciate sandalwood, and play chess with each other?"

Who is the barbarian?

Luo Xi smiled in his heart. The more he dealt with the White Scar Khan, the more he would find that he was actually a wonderful person, completely different from most people in the empire.

This Khan is a rare sober person.

The two Primarchs were fighting each other on a small chessboard. Their movements were extremely fast, and their Primarch-level brains meant that they hardly needed any time to think or deduce. Roche had to concentrate fully to barely keep up with their thinking.

The chess pieces moved constantly, the two sides fought back and forth, the Wolf King's chess pieces were like trapped beasts fighting desperately, but were suppressed by the Khan's agile and graceful army formation.

The Chogorians had mastered the essence of guerrilla warfare: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue; they soon forced their brothers into a desperate situation.

Chagatai Khan took a sip of tea, and everyone could see that the Wolf King was upset.

In war, if your mind is confused, you have undoubtedly lost half the battle.

"Are you still angry about what happened in the Araxes Nebula? My brother.

People cannot imagine the development of things without considering the original situation and circumstances. When we look back at history from the perspective of the future, when the enemy and ourselves were not yet distinguished, my behavior was the safest and most reliable choice. "

"If I am deceived by Alpha and help them to encircle and kill the wild wolves, that will undoubtedly be the worst outcome. There is no chance that you will escape."

Russ bared his teeth and took a swig of White Scar's milk wine, muttering something like "too soft, completely powerless" and "not as good as Fenris mead".

“It’s boring without a titanium can to go with the drink.”

The Khan suddenly laughed in silence. The Chogorians did drink strong liquor, but to be honest, Fenris's mead was more like the fuel for super heavy tanks. If the tank was filled with this, the machine spirit would probably get drunk immediately.

Only people with a hole in their brains would drink that stuff. It probably can't even be called alcohol.

Although he thought so in his heart, the Khan would not say it to his brother's face and embarrass him. This would only intensify the conflict between the two legions and would be of no use at all.

He just smiled and looked at his wolf brother, his face full of respect and blessing.

If someone really doesn't know him, they might think that Khan really agrees with your point of view, but in Luo Xi's eyes, this is clearly a top-level sarcasm.

It has to be said that Chagatai Khan had an extremely handsome long beard, and his wild and unruly long hair was tied together and casually thrown behind his head.

The lightning lines on his profile and between his eyebrows added a bit of wildness to his heroic face, as well as a bit of primitive beauty.

While strolling in the garden, the Khan pursued the victory and soon killed the king of Rus completely. The Fenris people immediately waved their hands to indicate defeat.

"You are not playing chess seriously, Russ. You are the second Primarch among us to return, and you have been with the Sigillite for a long time. From what I know, the Chancellor is very good at this."

"Why don't you use the skills you learned from the Sigillite?"

"What are you hesitating about, what are you worried about?"

The Khan leaned back slightly in his chair, narrowing his eyes slightly as he stared at his brother.

Originally, he thought that Russ was here to settle a score, so he hosted a banquet for him in an attempt to eliminate the hatred between the two legions.

The White Scars are not afraid of hatred, but they are not obsessed with it either. If there is a chance to turn hostility into friendship, that would be great.

But now it seems that this is not the case, Ruth seems to have deeper ideas.

A whirring sound came from the wolf king's throat, as if a real wild beast was growling threateningly.

He asked Khan a question that he had been thinking about for a long time, a rather sensitive topic.

"Jaghatai, I have always been curious about why you and Horus have such a good relationship. Among us, only Ferrus and Fulgrim can surpass your close relationship, but you did not follow in his footsteps. After all, you have always been loyal to the Empire and the Empire..."

Russ searched his muscle brain for a gentler word to describe it, and Roxie helped him come up with the word.

"There's a sense of distance." Luo Xi smiled.

"The White Scars are different from all the Astartes Legions. They don't seem to be a force under the Empire. Instead, they have a relatively equal cooperative relationship with the Empire."

Chagatai nodded with a slight smile at Luo Xi's evaluation. Dealing with smart people saves time and effort.

Ruth was unusually quiet, as if he wanted to hear how they were evaluated from an objective perspective.

Roshi, who had a close relationship with the Sigillite, held particular importance. "I've collected information on all the Legions and Primarchs, but I've struggled with the White Scars and their Khan," Roshi said sincerely, reflecting on his inner thoughts.

"I can't find much information about Khan. If the data didn't show that the Empire had 18 Primarchs, I would have really thought that the Empire had only 17 Primarchs. Khan seems to have a skill that always makes people unaware of his existence."

"He can make himself invisible, unlike Corax, who is physically invisible. He is invisible in the crowd."

Chagatai Khan couldn't help but stroke his beard and burst into laughter.

“Interesting review.”

"Later, I looked for more information in detail and found something interesting."

Luo Xi took a glass of milk wine from the table and said while drinking, "The low presence of the White Scars Legion and the Primarch comes from their alienated attitude. However, it is not the Empire that alienated the Khan, but the Khan that alienated the Empire."

"According to my understanding, when the Emperor first found Chagatai Khan, his attitude was actually quite good, even flattering. This treatment was completely different from that of Angron and Conrad."

At this moment, even Russ couldn't help laughing. He recalled the scene when the Allfather first came to Fenris. At that time, he had already ascended the throne as king, but one day he suddenly met a mysterious man shrouded in a burqa.

He fought with Quanfather three times and won two of them. Even the emperor couldn't eat and drink as much as him.

"Me!" Ruth stood up, holding his head high with pride, "I won two games against Allfather! Everyone saw it!"

"The reason you were able to defeat the emperor is because you had eaten all the wine and meat, isn't it? How can he defeat you if he has nothing left?" Luo Xi choked him.

"No wonder he knocked you down with one punch. You were really cheating."

Ruth's expression didn't change at all. So what? He won anyway.

Having defeated the Emperor twice, this matter can be boasted about until he dies on the battlefield.

"The reason why Khan distanced himself from the Empire is because he saw it too clearly. He realized that the Empire and the Emperor were not good things, so he kept his distance."

Chagatai stood up from his seat and applauded Roshi's opinion.

The Chogoris didn't mind Roche's comments at all, and he even took the initiative to add his opinions.

"That's right, it is true." Khan affirmed.

"After I conquered Chogoris and sat on the throne of the Supreme Ruler, I realized that I actually hated rulers. Fixed rule would only make society solidified and corrupt. I didn't want to be such a person. The Emperor was undoubtedly the greatest ruler in the entire galaxy."

"When that guy came before me, shining with golden light and emitting spiritual energy that was enough to make my Storm Prophet tremble, do you know what he said to me?"

The Khan's face was full of sarcasm and even ridicule. He had never been blindly loyal to the emperor.

"The Emperor told me, Chagatai, my son, you must believe in the Imperial Truth and not get involved in those superstitious things. Reason is everything."

Imperial Truth? What the hell is this big golden thing in front of me?
"I knew from the beginning that this was an absolute lie. The Emperor used lies to deceive everyone. Even if the starting point of this lie was good, it was still a lie."

Even Russ could not refute it, because what Chagatai said was indeed right, but he was dissatisfied with Chagatai's contemptuous attitude.

No matter how much embellishment there is, a lie is still a lie. Now everyone has seen the true appearance of the subspace. Those vicious subspace demons are always coveting the real universe. These are things beyond the truth of the empire.

"It is precisely because of their deception and lies that I cannot trust this Empire. As for me, Horus and Magnus, we are indeed close brothers, but they chose the damned Chaos."

Khan closed his eyes to hide his rising and falling emotions.

"I don't like the Empire, nor do I like the Emperor. They are full of falsehood and ignorance, and neither of them is a good thing. But I dislike Chaos even more. Chaos and the Warp are not even a thing at all."

"The Emperor does not look like a ruler, and Chaos does not look like a human being."

"If I have to choose between two rotten fruits, I choose the Empire."

Although Chagatai's words were extremely vicious, they were indeed incisive and to the point, and even Ruth thought that he was right.

The Fenrisian grinned, then overturned the decided regicide chess piece to the ground.

He simply grabbed the king from the Khan's desk and crushed him into powder in his hands.

"You are a sober person, Chagatai, but I am different."

There was a fierce light and a hint of determination in Ruth's eyes.

"I am a barbarian, and barbarians are best at being unreasonable."
