Warhammer: My Biological Father Emperor and My Demigod Brother

Dorne stood still, waiting for Perturabo to arrive. At this point, he should wait for his brother to look around first and then come to him with questions.

Dorn isn't the type to take the initiative to introduce things to people.

"Haha, it seems you're not very talkative. I understand. Our warriors should make a name for themselves in the galaxy, not build palaces for their fathers."

Little Pei saw many things along the way, and walked up to Dorn, introducing him to her sister:

“This is Katherine, my sister.”

Dorn's expression softened, or rather, his completely expressionless face began to show some emotion:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness."

He had privately inquired about the family backgrounds of the returning brothers, but he wouldn't say anything unless asked.

Katherine, head held high and smiling, returned the greeting:

“You seem much more composed than Xiao Pei. He either looks at people with a gloomy expression, or like now, he's smugly trying to strike up a conversation with everyone, like a proud bull.”

Xiao Pei was happy with his sister's assessment. Ever since meeting Aaron and even being beaten by his own father, his thinking had been completely changed.

Being conflicted only makes you feel bad, but it feels great to say everything out loud, and let others suffer instead.

This is probably a trait that I developed from my father.

"Haha, alright, Dorn, my brother, let's find a guide to take Katherine around. She's bound to feel a little uncomfortable staying with us."

Little Pei diligently learns how Aaron speaks and organizes things, and begins practicing in order to take the lead in this large family.

He is destined to compete for the throne of the empire, and must demonstrate the same convincing charisma as Horus!

That is, if Ruth or Forgrim were here, they would definitely find Little Peet, this clumsy idiot who is just beginning to try to become a social terrorist from Jade Syndrome, quite adorable.

Dorn nodded and summoned men to show Katherine around Terra.

The two brothers walked to a high platform on the outskirts of the construction site and sat down. From here, they could overlook the construction site and the endless Terra high walls.

"Tea or coffee? Terra has a lot of drinks that have been passed down."

Dorn offered his opinion, saying that he would have treated even an ordinary security guard from an artificial site the same way.

But in Xiao Pei's eyes, this was just his good brother trying to get closer to him!

He was already confident that he could win over Dorne as his partner in the struggle for the throne!

"Tea will do, but fruit wine would be even better. Dorn, what's with those crosses?"

Xiao Pei took the initiative to ask, as this was his first time on Terra and he didn't know much about the development of civilization on this so-called mother planet of human civilization.

He pointed to the transport trucks, which were not loaded with valuable industrial materials, but instead crammed with these decorative items that looked like religious objects.

Are there that many crosses on Terra?

Dorn frowned, sensing something was off about his brother's problem; Little Pei might be missing some crucial information.

But he didn't know what was missing, so he could only explain:

"Terra is the planet where human civilization first evolved. Many characteristics of other civilized planets are basically a convergence of certain eras of Terran civilization, and some even retain their names intact. For example, the planet you grew up on, Olympia, is called Mount Olympus on Terra. It was the location of the celestial palace during the polytheistic stage of the civilization."

Little Pei laughed and took the large teacup that Dorn handed her: "Haha, it seems that what my brother said is true. Our old father played the role of a god in mythology, and we are those Greek demigod heroes."

"However, I don't recall Olympia having any cross elements; we just like building magnificent halls supported by pillars."

Dorn neither confirmed nor denied this, saying:

"That was during the period when polytheism developed into monotheism. The specific historical data is still being compiled. People considered the cross a sacred symbol. Therefore, it was built on many churches. When Father was rejecting Terra's past beliefs and vowed to let the last brick of the collapsing church kill the last priest, he was able to proclaim that a new era had arrived. The truth of the Empire will guide humanity to a better future."

Xiao Pei finished her tea in one gulp, then waved her hand under Dorn's somewhat awkward gaze:

"No way, the fact that my father can speak clearly already means he's recovered from a mental illness to the point where he can take care of himself. When he beat me, he asked me, 'What am I going to do?'"

"What else can I do? What exactly happened to us that led to us being thrown out?"

"By the way, I noticed there are human figures on those crosses. Who are they? The people Father hates the most? Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered all the crosses to be removed, would he?"

Dorn's gaze grew increasingly strange. The first thing that bothered him was that Little Pete was drinking tea as if it were wine, without appreciating any of the meaning behind it.

The second thing is this cross, how exactly should we interpret this cross!

He tried to speak, organizing his thoughts:

"Perhaps it was something that made my father feel nostalgic when he saw these objects, or a sadness he was reluctant to recall. In the course of religious development, there are always some tragic stories, and he may have been a witness to them."

Peturabo burst into laughter, pointing at the transport trucks:

"What eyewitness? He was bound to a cross?"

Dorn corrected, "To be precise, it was nailed up. It was a form of punishment that extended to the early Middle Ages in Terra, where there was also the punishment of impalement."

Xiao Pei said maliciously, "Then we should really nail our father up there."

"By the way, Dorn, do you know where our brother is?"

Dorn finally sat up straight, his face wary.

“Ryan? He has a lot entrusted to him by his father. If the Dark Angels appear among us without any clear orders, then we should be careful.”

Xiao Pei shook her head: "No, no, no, it's not Ryan, not that big cat who only knows how to go to the Cult of Mechanics to research power forks and has a clear interest in hunting fish and aliens. His lion has a limp in one leg. But that doesn't stop the cat from loving to eat fish."

"It's Aaron Weir, Aaron, our brother! Tell me, where was Aaron last seen up to this point, and what was his fate?"

Dorn pondered deeply, then breathed a sigh of relief; so he was asking about the final outcome.

He gave an answer:

"Oh, my brother has gone to heaven. According to the last stories of Terra, he was mainly active during the dawn of the complete transformation of human civilization into monotheism."

Xiao Pei became suspicious. "That sounds so mysterious," she said. "Enough! Just tell me, where can I see him?"

Dorn said solemnly, “According to the records, a great cataclysmic disaster will occur on Judgment Day. It is called Judgment Day. My brother will appear at that time to reward the good and punish the evil. The good will enter heaven with him, and the wicked will fall into hell.”

Xiao Pei suppressed her anger and threw the cup on the ground. Why was Dorn talking so strangely?

No wonder not many of the Brotherhood interact with him much; they prefer the Ninth and Horus.

“Speak like a human being, brother,” he warned finally.

Dorn could only casually reply, "Fine, he's dead."

Bang!

The cup in Xiao Pei's hand was crushed, and she became furious. The neural signal cables connected to her head exploded, and the Primarch overloaded these metal lines with just his own bioelectricity.

Dorn added, "The records say he was resurrected again, Volkan, one of our brothers, who too can be resurrected after death."

Xiao Pei began to squat down and pick up the broken pieces of the cup from the ground, a smile returning to her face:

"I knew it! How could my brother be dead? My sister can't be a widow either."

Dorn: "Huh? Katherine and Aaron are a couple?"

Xiao Pei waved her hand and said, "That's not important, Dorn. Next time you speak, you must make sure you state the topic clearly. The way you say things in that flat tone is too scary."

Dorn became even more puzzled: "My brother, I've always answered whatever you asked. Besides, I don't know where my brother is now, or when that day of judgment will come. Perhaps only Father knows this secret."

"Clearly, based on the lifestyle we met with the older brother, he still prefers the social environment of more than 30,000 years ago."

Xiao Pei picked up all the broken pieces from the ground and held them in her hands:

"That's fine. Once my research yields some results, I'll try to contact Aaron. This cup is on me; I'll return it to you after I fix it."

Dorn shook his head and said, "Whatever you want, it's just a cup. By the way, this afternoon I'll take you to see the current construction work on the Terra walls. Can you help me see if there's anything I need to be careful about? In terms of structural strength, it's hard for heavy artillery to destroy the walls."

"But my wisdom is always limited. Perhaps you can help me find the problems I've overlooked."

Xiao Pei carefully packed away the fragments in her hand before saying:

“Of course, Dorn, you have to try this method. If you want to find the weaknesses in the fortress you built, you have to simulate it and find different attack intensities to attack the walls.”

Chapter 134: On the Question of Who Retires via Ostracism (3K)

Dorn nodded and said, "I understand, brother. Thank you for your advice."

Peturabo stood up and pointed to the entire area of ​​the city wall:

"No, you haven't understood. Your understanding is very shallow. Please forgive my offense, Dorn. You and your legion are only obsessed with the strength of the fortifications you have built. Have you ever thought about Mars' weapons, or what I just mentioned about being wary of the suddenly appearing Dark Angels? Do you know what secret weapons the First Legion has?"

“You don’t understand anything, you’re just doing your job step by step.”

Dorn didn't feel offended; the last brother to speak to him like that was Guilliman.

He began, “I’ve only heard about it vaguely, but obviously I don’t have many opportunities to be proactive and learn anything. The main deployment of the Great Crusade is decided by Horus, and the Imperial Fist rarely undertakes large-scale battles. I can only follow the established procedures, and all I can do is follow the established procedures.”

"At least this makes me feel secure."

Perturabo approached Dorne, put his arm around his shoulder, and grinned wickedly:

“Then, let’s exchange ideas. Let my Iron Warriors take charge of part of the wall construction, and Imperial Fists will simulate the attack. Let’s put on a show.”

"If everyone changes their mindset, and eventually discovers flaws they can't see themselves, that's something to celebrate."

Dorn pondered: "This will probably require Father's permission. The construction of Terra's defenses also involves the Custodians, who have never been friendly to Astartes. They are also wary of us."

Perturabo grinned mischievously and patted Dorn on the shoulder:

"So what? We're his sons, not tools to be used and discarded. Anyway, I remember your construction specifications included simulated attack drills. That's for the safety of Terra's defenses."

"In this way, I'll attack and you'll defend. Then we'll switch roles."

“I will write a letter to my father. If he is going back to Terra soon, I will talk to him in person, even if I get beaten up by him again.”

Dorn still felt something was amiss and was about to speak when Little Pei silenced him with her words:

"Dorn! Look at your other brothers, do you think they obey Father one hundred percent?"

"I think my brother must have told us that we should teach our father a lesson he would suffer! For a son to grow up, he must start by rebelling against his father!"

"Anyway, it will take me several months to take the Astartes production line from Luna and set it up in Olympia. During this time, I will have to stay in Terra and be prepared for that old man to come back and scold me at any time."

"In that case, it's just another scolding."

Seeing that Peturabo had said all he could, Dorn could only nod and say, "Then we can only conduct the exercise in the area of ​​the city wall that I have designated."

Xiao Pei laughed heartily: "Hahaha, my brother, as you wish. You can even freely deploy my legion's weapons. Let's see what these walls can actually hold up!"

I, Peturabo, hereby prepare to attack the walls of Terra! Taking down Dorne's defenses is not the point.
