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

Chapter 378: Horus's Movements (Please Subscribe)

This Astartes named Gaviel Loken has rough features, short golden hair that reveals a toughness and indomitable spirit, grey eyes and a pale face with freckles that outlines a loyal face.

Shadow Moon Wolf?

Roxi knew this name. The Luna Wolves was the former name of the 16th Legion, the Sons of Horus. In the past, in order to commend Horus's achievements and loyalty, the Emperor specially allowed him to change the name of the Luna Wolves to the Sons of Horus.

The fact that the person in front of him could use the name Shadow Moon Wolf naturally indicated his loyalty.

The silent knight bowed his head in salute to the Sigillite and Leman Russ, but his back remained straight and never bent.

Malcador motioned for Loken to come forward and he introduced him to Russ and Roxie.

"Loken is one of the loyal warriors I recruited. He is now a member of an Astartes squad I organized called the Knights-Errant. You should have heard of the captain of the Knights-Errant."

"Nathaniel Garro, Captain of the Seventh Company of Death Guard, loyal to the Emperor?" Roxi replied immediately.

Many people know the name of Captain Garro. It was this loyal warrior who crossed half the galaxy and brought back the news of the purge on Isstvan III and the legion's betrayal to Terra.

It can be said that if Captain Garro had not reported the news, it might have taken the Empire a long time to realize that half of the Astartes Legion had already betrayed.

"Gavier, tell Leman Russ everything you know about Horus. The Wolf King intends to assassinate Horus alone to turn the tide of the war."

"He needs your intelligence support."

Hearing Malcador's words, the loyal Luna Wolf took two steps back and stared at Leman Russ with confused eyes. Doubt and astonishment flashed across his face, as if he was horrified by what he heard.

he asked tentatively.

"You want to assassinate Horus? Allow me to double-check, my lord."

"Yes." Leman Russ nodded solemnly, without any joking tone.

"I'm sorry, sir. Please allow me to offend you. This is a completely stupid thing. You can't be a match for Horus. He is no longer the wolf shepherd god he once was. His once noble body is now soaked in the evil of the warp."

"When he abandoned his former glory, I was no longer the Son of Horus. I am Gaviel Loken, the last of the Luna Wolf."

Loken's answer was heartfelt. He really believed that Leman Russ was seeking death. He had to stop the Wolf King's recklessness. The importance of a Primarch was self-evident, and there must be no more unnecessary sacrifices.

If it was the Horus of the past, facing Leman Russ who was willing to fight for his life, Loken also believed that the other party would have a certain chance of winning, but the Horus of today is completely different from before, he is no longer a human being.

Faced with Loken's rude answer, Leman Russ did not show the slightest sign of anger.

"I understand that what you said is right. I have fought against all the other brothers, and I really cannot defeat Horus. I cannot imagine myself defeating Horus, so I need you, Gavial."

The Wolf King placed his big hand on Loken's shoulder, and the Moon Wolf felt the strength and determination in it.

"I need you to tell me Horus's weaknesses, his defenses, and where he is now."

After Locke confirmed again and again that the Wolf King was serious, he had no choice but to tell him what he knew.

Since Leman Russ's decision could not be reversed, he could only hope that sufficient intelligence could increase the Wolf King's chances of survival.

Perhaps the Wolf King could escape after the assassination.

"The Master of the Seal once gave me a mission. I went to Morro with the Knights-Ranger, where we infiltrated and marked the Spirit of Vengeance."

Loken recounts a thrilling action on the planet Morro where he and his Knights Errant were captured by the enemy and brought before the fallen Horus, confronting Abaddon and Horus Eichmand the Younger.

Horus longed for his son's return. He still cared about Loken and hoped for his son's support, but Loken ultimately refused to yield to Horus, who had lost both his honor and his humanity. He severed the last ties between him and his Primarch and vowed to never give up the fight against Horus. "Lord Russ, my Gene-Father has reached a deeper level of cooperation with Moloch and the Four Chaos Gods. He has become a demonic being. He is no longer himself, no longer the radiant Wolf-God."

The Wolf King's heart suddenly moved. Was it not what he wanted for Horus to become what he is now? His brother might have been bewitched and corrupted by the evil power of the Warp, but his essence was still good.

A naive fantasy arose in his heart that perhaps he could save his brother, Horus, who had once been as warm and dazzling as the sun.

No one noticed the fantasy in Rus's mind. He just kept it deep in his heart and kept it as his own secret.

Loken then relayed everything he knew about Horus to the Wolf King. He only hoped that his help would allow Leman Russ to at least come back alive.

An Astartes who helped other Primarchs to assassinate his own Primarch. The intense tearing feeling twisted Gaviel Loken's heart, but he still hardened his heart. Horus was no longer his father.

The Wolf King silently memorized all the information in his mind. He had to make every possible effort to seize that one in a million chance.

"By the way, if you really want to go, then take that thing with you, the weapon that belongs to you."

Just as Leman Russ was about to turn around and leave, the Sigillite called out to him, and then a golden-armored giant walked out from the shadows.

Luo Xi didn't even notice that there was someone in the room, but the Wolf King didn't seem surprised. In front of his amazing sense of smell, even Corax, who was famous for his stealth among his brothers, might not be able to be completely invisible.

The man who came was somewhat similar to the tribune Diocletian, whom Roche had met once before. He was also wearing beautiful golden armor, and his tall figure was even as tall as Leman Russ.

"In the name of the Emperor, you must bring the Spear of Dionysus. This is an order."

Then, the strange guard handed the weapon called Spear of Dionysus to the Wolf King, and then immediately disappeared.

Luo Xi noticed that the other person looked at him strangely, with an indescribable complex emotion.

"That's the Marshal of the Imperial Guards and the All-Father's most loyal guard, Constantine Waldo." Russ explained to Roshi. He took a deep breath and then held the Spear of Dionysus in his hand.

Valdor should still be fighting demons in the Webway, and his arrival is obviously the will of the Emperor.

Russ held his Spear of Dionysus, his rugged face full of ferocious blood vessels. The Wolf King seemed to hate and despise this weapon bestowed by the Emperor, but he still suppressed his disgust and carried it with him.

The Wolf King's gaze stayed on Malcador and Roxi for a second each, then he turned and left.

Leman Russ did not stay any longer. He left eagerly with his Wolf Guards, leaving Roxi alone in Malcador's office.

Roche knew that Leman Russ would not stop for a moment after obtaining the intelligence and the Spear of Dionysus. He would take his descendants and fleet to the location of Horus and try his best.

"You don't seem surprised, Kadur." Roche could only wish Leman Russ good luck. He didn't have a particularly close relationship with the Wolf King, so naturally he wouldn't try to persuade him.

After all, even the seal holder couldn't persuade him.

"Some things are destined to happen, and they don't even need to be predicted," Malcador said. "Then why did you come to me?"

Looking at Kadul's calm face, Luo Xi couldn't connect him with the savior that Neos mentioned. After all, when Kadul was gathering the resistance to fight against the Golden Alliance, he was still sleeping in some corner.

"I am here for Magnus. After the Burning of Prospero, his soul was forced to shatter. Do you know where the other fragments of his soul are?"

"If we can bring Magnus back to the Empire and take the Emperor's place on the Golden Throne, we might be able to free the Emperor trapped on the Golden Throne."

The seal bearer showed an expression of understanding. Luo Xi had been investigating the matter about Magnus, probably for this reason.

"If it is a fragment of Magnus' soul, I actually know some clues."
