Warhammer: I, the Wizard of a Thousand Sons, Reorganize the Legion

Chapter 109 Mystery

"Brother Magnus, I have something important to discuss with you."

Perturabo, now wearing a smile, immediately softened his tone and strode towards Magnus. He walked straight into the circle surrounded by the Iron Warriors, roughly shoved aside his own sons who were blocking his way, and waved for them to lay down their weapons.

"Hey, what are you all standing there for? Senko is our brother, don't be rude."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Clang!

The steel warriors, having received their orders, laid down their weapons and silently retreated to the side amidst heavy footsteps.

Perturabo, watching his offspring walk away, stepped forward, lowered his posture, and spoke to Magnus, who remained silent, "Brother Magnus, you see, it really was a misunderstanding. These colossi should rightfully belong to the Thousand Sons Legion. However, the resources used to make the colossi need to be calculated carefully. I can give you a 20% discount."

Peturabo, with a shrewd expression, waited for Magnus to respond.

"Oh..." Magnus, who had been silent all along, raised his eyes and slowly spoke, "Okay, but... we need to discuss the specifics carefully."

"Sure... Let's go over there and talk in detail."

As soon as he finished speaking, Peturabola pulled Magnus straight to a corner of the platform, a spot far away from Levi. He was truly traumatized by Levi.

He imagined Mortalian jumping up and down in anger at Levi, and understood Mortalian's frustration and speechlessness.

Li Wei, who was observing everything with a cold eye, secretly shook his head, feeling that Perturabo's acting was too fake.

He remembered that Peturabo was an absolute vindictive and capricious warmonger. He wouldn't admit defeat so easily; he probably had other plans and schemes.

However, none of that matters now. What matters is where Peturabo got the news of the Emperor's injury.

What's most outrageous about this news is that it falsely accused the Thousand Sons and the Shadow Moon Wolf Legion—two legions that were loyal to the Empire and received the Emperor's last instructions before he fell into a deep sleep.

Without figuring out who was pulling the strings behind the scenes, Horus's plan would never be able to proceed. In fact, Levi knew that the original plan had completely deviated from its course the moment the long-distance communication in the warp was interrupted.

Next, it is highly likely that the Thousand Sons and the Horus Legion will face a massive influx of rebellious armies from the various imperial sons.

In truth, the moment the Emperor fell into slumber, regardless of Horus's plan, the empire would have only descended into chaos and endless war.

While Li Wei was lost in thought, he also failed to take the opportunity to free the giant statue controlled by the Iron Warrior.

However, the machine spirit controlling the colossus granted access to the communication array, because if the pilot inside the colossus wasn't calmed down, the steel warriors in the cockpit would forcibly dismantle the colossus.

He could feel the painful howls emanating from the restless machine spirits of the colossi. These hundreds of colossi were the Thousand Sons Legion's precious assets, and they couldn't afford to lose them here.

Before long, Li Wei, who was concentrating on his senses, heard Peturabo's voice, which was quite loud.

"Brother Magnus, our Iron Warriors Legion will not be returning to Terra with your Thousand Sons Legion. We need to rest here."

"Hmm..." Magnus, who walked back to the center of the platform with Perturab, nodded slightly and said slowly, "Brother Perturab, I hope you don't hold a grudge against Horus. After all, it was just a mistake on the battlefield."

"No problem, no problem..."

97

Perturabo's hearty voice rang out again, and the perceptive Magnus could tell he was being perfunctory. He sighed and said, "I hope that next time we meet, the Iron Warrior Legion and the Thousand Sons Legion will not clash and turn against each other like brothers."

Magnus's words were extremely heavy; he was truly afraid of what choice Peturabo would make when they faced each other again in the distant future.

"As for those colossi, I will arrange for their transport by fleet immediately."

With a generous expression, Perturabo pointed to the colossi around him, whose cockpits had been opened and whose Iron Warrior pilots were disembarking one after another, and casually said, "As for the resources for subsequent compensation, the Thousand Sons Legion can decide based on the situation."

Peturabo knew that with warp travel not being guaranteed, asking the Thousand Sons for these colossus manufacturing resources was tantamount to empty talk, but he couldn't bear to suffer this loss for nothing.

His eyes darted around, and he looked up at Li Wei, changing the subject: "Lord Li Wei, is there anything you'd like to add?"

"Hmm..." Li Wei, with a calm expression, glanced at Magnus's gesturing look beside him, knowing that he would have to play the villain again, and said helplessly.

"Lord Peturabo, where did you get that news that the Emperor was seriously injured and that the Thousand Sons and the Shadowmoon Wolf Legion were working together to persecute him?"

"This..." Peturabo hesitated, remaining silent, but his gaze swept towards the Iron Warrior and the Thousand Sons confronting each other on the platform not far away, clearly fearing that the news would leak out.

"Hmm?" Looking at Perturabo's cryptic expression, Levi became a little suspicious. After all, their previous conversation hadn't been very secretive, and the Chizuru and the Iron Warriors present had heard most of it.

Even the news of the Emperor's serious injury was already known to most of the Astartes warriors present, but he refused to reveal the contents of the secret letter sent to Perturabo. Could this be some incredible, earth-shattering secret?

With a quick thought, Li Wei snapped his fingers, and a complex golden psionic shield suddenly unfolded, enveloping himself, Magnus, and Perturabo.

After doing all this, he said calmly, "This is the Sosmes Mark, which can block all warp spying and technological detection methods."

"Hmm..." Perturabo, half-believing and half-doubting, heard Levi's explanation and curiously stepped forward to examine the golden psionic shield in front of him, but couldn't figure out what it was.

However, he was relieved. Li Wei, though arrogant, never lied. He said that the shield could block outside prying eyes, so it was probably true.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "It's not that I'm deliberately hiding it, but I can't explain that strange communication either."

"What do you mean, my brother? Can you explain?"

Magnus, his brows furrowed, could not contain his curiosity and pressed for an answer in a deep voice.

As for Li Wei, he stood quietly to the side, wanting to hear what Peturabo had to say next, to find out what was going on. Peturabo's cryptic manner had only aroused suspicion.
