In order to gain the trust of the mortal monarch named Cao Cao, a general named Zhou Yu of the Eastern Wu Kingdom used a strategy called the "self-torture strategy".

And this story was summarized by later generations as: Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten.

If he really succeeded, wouldn't future generations have to draw a conclusion: It was a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten?

A playful smile appeared on Koz's face. He no longer cared whether the plan would succeed or not. At least it sounded interesting, and that was enough.

The 30k limited edition of "The Self-Torture Plan" alone is already very exciting.

"Listen, it's unrealistic to rely on you alone to escape from prison. I will communicate with Ryan and ask him to quietly release the Night Lords from the prison, especially your Captain Sevatar. They will be led to the cage where you are imprisoned, and then rescue you after a series of adventures and hardships."

"You have to act convincingly, even to the point of fooling yourself, before you can truly fool your enemy. This is a real test of your acting skills..."

Before Luo Xi finished speaking, Koz had already agreed. He rubbed his hands excitedly, and couldn't wait to start the plan.

"Hey, don't be anxious. There's no point in being anxious now. It will only expose you easily." Luo Xi stopped Conrad's thoughts. This was just a prototype of a plan. He must obtain more useful information to perfect this opportunity.

The most important point is the level of understanding of Magnus.

He had never seen the one-eyed red devil, and didn't even know his true character and behavior. Such a plan would involve too much change and would most likely fail.

The plan, the key is the plan, it must be complete and comprehensive.

"I'll go look for the Wolf King Leman Russ. He is undoubtedly the one who has the deepest entanglement with Magnus. It was him and Magnus who fought in the Battle of Prospero. The Wolf King had one of his hearts destroyed by the Red Devil, and the Red Devil had his back broken by the Lord of Fenris's knee."

Roche told Curze not to run around on the ship. He just ordered Veronica to keep an eye on the prodigal Primarch, and then went to find Leman Russ who was still on Terra.

When the Emperor announced his orders to the Primarch through Malcador, he did not mention the orders to Leman Russ.

This is very strange. Combined with Roche's observation of the Wolf King at that time, it can be confirmed that Leman Russ wants to do something big, something that can instantly turn the tide of the battle.

But when Roxi arrived at the surface of Terra, the Sigillite who had the best relationship with the Wolf King told Roxi that Leman Russ had gone to find Chagatai Khan.

Luo Xi's mind was suddenly filled with question marks. It was strange. How did Leman Russ get in touch with Chagatai?

Logically speaking, among the many legions on Terra at present, the relationship between the Space Wolves and the White Scars is the most strained.

Because when Leman Russ was facing a desperate situation in the Araxes Nebula, the White Scars chose not to help either side and abandoned the Sixth Legion because they could not understand the specific situation.

In the desperate situation at the time, the Wolf King even admitted his failure. He confided to the Wolf Guard Bjorn that it was a mistake to blindly act as the Emperor's executioner, and he vowed to go his own way from now on.

And in the subsequent desperate battle of the Alpha Legion, Leman Russ even exchanged fire with Alpharius, who was disguised as a Lerna Terminator. If it were not for the rescue of a detachment of the Dark Angels Legion, Russ might never have returned to Terra.

It is precisely because of these disputes that the Fenrisians, who have always been generous and clear about grudges, feel resentful about the White Scars' failure to help them.

Although reason told them that the White Scars' actions might not be right, they were not wrong either. If they had made a rash choice and stood on the side of the Alpha Legion, the Space Wolves would probably have been destroyed long ago.

However, rational understanding is not the same as emotional understanding, and the relationship between the two legions is still tense. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly very strange that Leman Russ took the initiative to find Chagatai Khan.

Out of curiosity, Luo Xi took a spaceship to the Victory Laurel where Chagatai Khan was currently located.

Chapter 372 The Wolf and the Khan

When the barge landed on the Victory Laurel, looking at the scene in front of him, Luo Xi couldn't help but sigh at the lightning speed of the White Scar.

A large number of decorations and cultural traditions belonging to the White Scars Legion have been moved to this ship that originally belonged to the Ultramarines, and the entire Victory Crown has been transformed into the shape of the White Scars Legion.

Almost all the White Scars Astartes in the solar system have been summoned to this Thundercloud-class planetary battleship, or it can be said that there is no need to summon them at all. The soldiers of the Fifth Legion who discovered this battleship could not suppress their desire and impulse at all.

They were eager to board the battleship and find out what was going on, even though the battleship nominally belonged to the Ultramarines Legion.

Compared to the Ultramarines, the White Scars have become true Ultramarines.

Then the order from Chagatai Khan brought all the White Scars to a climax. The Khan ordered that all the White Scars could board the battleship, which had been renamed the "Sky Eagle".

Luo Xi suddenly felt ashamed. He originally just wanted to stabilize his position as the Primarch of the Fifth Legion, but now it seems that Chagatai Khan is not easy to fool. Or he was just pretending to be fooled and actually had no intention of spitting out the meat in his stomach.

The Victory Laurel was like a meat bun thrown at a dog, it had gone there and there was no way it could be returned now that it had fallen into the hands of the White Scars.

The White Scars celebrated their Khan's wisdom. It was an honor for the Khan of Chogoris to have once again given the Legion a warship that was faster, stronger, and more powerful than the Bladestorm.

From the beginning of the war, the White Scars Legion had been waging guerrilla warfare to support Terra, at a heavy cost in terms of casualties. Even their flagship, the Bladestorm, was used as a trap in an attempt to trap Mortarion on this doomed battleship and bury him together.

But now, the White Scar warriors on this battleship looked jubilant. They installed old items dismantled from many small warships on the Sky Eagle. Just as Roche saw, there were countless shining jet skis placed on the deck.

In addition, there are many Chogoris-style decorations embellishing the Sky Eagle.

What caught Luo Xi's eye was a renovated corridor. The walls on both sides were hung with the heads of enemies beheaded by the White Scars after the war began. They had all been cleaned, painted with silver metal and hung for display.

There were heads of traitors, aliens, green-skinned orcs, and even the Eldar, and some mortal auxiliaries of the White Scars Legion were playing melodious bamboo flutes and some special instruments made of clay to celebrate this moment.

"I heard that the Chogoris people have a unique view of life and death. They never think that death is the end, but the beginning of another journey. All life is like the grasslands on Chogoris, withering and flourishing every year with spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Luo Xi was very familiar with the White Scars' ideas that were rich in oriental philosophical thoughts. Walking on this battleship that was a mixture of the Ultramarines style and the White Scars style, he suddenly felt like he was back home.

Soon, the news of his arrival was known to the White Scars, and immediately a group of White Scar warriors that Luo Xi knew rushed to greet him.

"Lord Luo Xi, you came here without even telling us in advance so that we can have a welcoming ceremony for you."

Gangtura Nayan Khan squeezed through the dense crowd. Beside him were Qin Xin and several other warriors that Luo Xi was familiar with.

The White Scars didn't like wearing helmets, so these Astartes with their hair tied up in high buns stood out particularly in the crowd.

Back in Macragge, Guntura and his White Scar warriors had a blast following Roxi. They followed Roxi across most of the eastern galaxy, slaughtering several alien civilizations and killing the traitors of the Emperor's Children who had an irreconcilable feud with them.

Following Luo Xi, they can drive the powerful and fast Tengu mecha and travel freely across the universe. Those days will be so beautiful.

In their eyes, Luo Xi has long been one of their own.

What's more, later on, Luo Xi led them through many hardships, allowing them to reunite with Chagatai Khan after a long separation.

Not to mention that Roche ordered the Laurel of Victory to be delivered to the White Scars Legion for use first, which undoubtedly gave Gantula a lot of face in front of his few remaining old brothers.

The Guntura unanimously declared that it was their excellent relationship with Roche that enabled the Legion to acquire an unprecedented Thundercloud-class planetary battleship.

"Gantura, congratulations on your wealth."

"So, are you not satisfied with this battleship?"

Luo Xi asked deliberately, and when Guntula heard him speak, he suddenly felt an instinctive tingling on his scalp, as if being congratulated would be a bad thing.

He didn't know why this happened, but it didn't affect the cheerful atmosphere at the scene.

"I heard that Wolf King Leman Russ is on your ship? Take me to see him quickly. I have something important to discuss with him."

Luo Xi refused Gangtura's invitation to take him to attend the grand event among the Chogoris people. He came here for serious business, not to have fun.

Gantula already knew Roxi's temper very well. Although Roxi looked easy to talk to, once he made up his mind, the eight Space Wolves could not pull him back.

"Lord Russ is indeed on board. He is drinking with the Khan. I will take you there now."

Accompanied by Gangtula and others, Luo Xi soon arrived at the door of a military tent that had been converted into a "yurt" similar to the nomadic people of the grassland.

A faint smell of mutton hit me in the face, but it was not fishy at all. Instead, it was a fragrance mixed with grass and lotion.

When Gangtula brought Luo Xi to the door, a team of white-scarred Qiexue wearing Terminator armor blocked their way.

"Namashi, this is a distinguished guest of our legion. He wants to meet the Khan and the Wolf King."

Gangtula shouted to the leading Qiexue Terminator, and Luo Xi looked closely at the White Scar Qiexue Guards. The Terminators of these elite troops guarding the Khan were mainly milky white in armor, with brown waistcoats on their shoulders and strides, and were equipped with huge power Guandao.

On the shoulder of the Qiexue lord named Namashi stood a huge eagle, its sharp eagle eyes staring at the newcomer, as if ready to fly over and attack at any time.

"The previous leader of Qiexue was Qin Xia, but unfortunately he died due to Eidolon's conspiracy. It seems that this Namashi is the new leader of Qiexue chosen by Chagatai Khan." Luo Xi thought to himself.

Unlike other legions, the White Scars generally dislike heavy Terminator armor. They prefer lightweight Mark-type armor to gain faster speed on the battlefield.

"Step back, Namashi, this is an honored guest." The Khan's voice came from the military tent, and the leader of Qiexue, who was as still as a mountain, slowly made way.

When Luo Xi lifted the tassels in front of his eyes, two primarchs appeared in front of him.

The carpet woven from the fur of some kind of beast is extremely soft and comfortable, and feels smoother and more delicate than silk. The head of a huge beast is decorated on the wall, and its huge mouth, which is as big as half a Land Raider, is still lifelike.

A bronze incense burner was burning some kind of incense, which slowly diffused in the room. Jagatai Khan and Leman Russ were sitting cross-legged, with a game of regicide chess in front of them. Mortal servants were making tea and milk wine for the two noble adults to drink.

"Please help yourself. Ruth and I are still playing chess."

The Khan was not in a hurry to entertain Luo Xi. He hated these red tapes the most. Luo Xi walked up very casually and watched the game from a third-party perspective.

Although he was not very familiar with this game of regicide which was particularly popular in the human world, he could still see that the game had completely tilted towards Chagatai Khan's side.

The Khan's army was approaching and had complete advantage.

The lord of Leman Russ is already in danger, with only a few soldiers still guarding him, but he is already putting up a desperate resistance and the outcome is set.

The two emperors' descendants seemed to be using the game of regicide to test each other and express their intentions.

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.”
