Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

So far, no one has ever seen this somewhat old and frail seal holder fully unleash his psychic power, even though he looks like just an ordinary civil servant.

Russ was very quiet in front of the seal holder, without any trace of his previous carefree look.

His expression was solemn and his demeanor was calm, making him look like a serious general.

"I don't want you to make such a decision, Russ. You have to understand that you are facing Horus, who was chosen by the four gods. I can feel that he is very different now than he was in the past. He has obtained too much power that does not belong to him, and this undoubtedly surpasses any Primarch."

The Sigillite did not seem to be talking to a Primarch, but rather to persuading a descendant.

"Your greatest possibility is to die in vain. Horus is among the rebels, and the other Primarchs are accompanying him, while you are alone."

"You have no chance of winning."

Leman Russ stood up, his majestic figure casting a shadow. The Fenrisians proved their determination with their actions.

"Master, there are some things that must be done by someone, and only I can do it."

"Children grow up and are out of our control, alas."

Malcador suddenly sighed. He regretted educating Russ to be too persistent. Although firmness and persistence are good qualities, they may backfire if used in the wrong place.

After all, there is sometimes no obvious difference between determination and stubbornness.

"Since you have made your plans, I will do my best to help you. You know nothing about Horus, so perhaps you need some more detailed intelligence support."

"It just so happens that I have a warrior here who knows Horus very well."

The Sigillite turned sideways and whispered to the air. Not long after, an extremely special Astartes walked out of the office door.

He was wearing an extreme power armor with milky white and silver-gray colors. The blood-red cloak was connected by a golden medal with a giant wolf's head imprinted on it. The shoulder armor on his left shoulder was painted with a vivid pattern of a giant wolf under the moon, and the mark [ⅩⅥ] was imprinted in the middle of the breastplate.

Luo Xi's pupils shrank slightly. That was the symbol of the former Luna Wolves. Was this a son of Horus?

There are still living Sons of Horus on Terra? How is that possible?

As if noticing Roche's confusion, Malcador began to explain.

"There are no Sons of Horus on Terra, but there are Luna Wolves. The betrayal was done by the former, not the latter."

"Let me introduce you to the last of the Luna Wolf - one of the members of the Council of Four Kings of the Sixteenth Legion, Gavial Loken," Malcador said.

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 hoped that his son could return again. He still cared about Loken and hoped to get his son's support, but Loken was ultimately unwilling to succumb to Horus who had lost his honor and humanity. He severed the last connection with the Primarch and vowed to never give up the fight with Horus.

"Lord Russ, my gene father has reached a deeper level of cooperation with Morro and the Four Chaos Gods. He has become like a demon. He is no longer himself, no longer the brilliant Wolf Shepherd 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."

"I have convinced Conrad that the rebels do not know that he has returned to the Empire. As long as we use the fragments of the Red King's soul as bait and make some manipulations by Curze, we are not afraid that Magnus will not take the bait."

Roche explained his plan to Malcador. He did not tell the Primarchs about it because he was worried that their possible brotherhood might cause trouble at a critical moment.

Personal friendships could often ruin things at critical moments, and Roche only hoped that Leman Russ wouldn't do that.

Chagatai Khan and Magnus had a close relationship. Although the two parted ways due to their different attitudes towards the Warp, if he knew that Roche was plotting against him and wanted to capture Magnus and use him as fuel on the Golden Throne, it was inevitable that the Primarch would feel resentful.

No one can fathom the Khan's mind, no one.

This was even more true for Leman Russ, who was now immersed in the regret of accidentally injuring Magnus and the pain of the other party's betrayal of the empire. If he knew about this, it would probably cause more trouble.

But Malcador was different. He was the Emperor's close comrade-in-arms and was now in the same boat with Roche. From the moment he stepped onto the Golden Throne to meet the Emperor, the three of them had actually been tightly bound together.

One sat on the Golden Throne and held up the Warp tightly, the other worked hard to prolong the life of the empire, and Roche was also trying his best to break this deadlock.

Roche even took on the mission of the final escape. In front of the Golden Throne, the Emperor confessed his plan for Roche for thousands of years, but that was a choice that would be activated at the last moment.

No one wants the situation to deteriorate to that extent. Although the Emperor said that he could use the power of the Golden Throne to bring Roche to an unknown universe, who knows what the outcome will be?

Crossing the universe is an unknown territory even for humans in the Golden Age.

Luo Xi doesn't want to die inexplicably on the way across the universe. It would be better for him to fight with mankind in this universe until the moment of destruction.

Malcador listened very carefully. Luo Xi's plan did have the possibility of success, and the possibility was even higher than his plan.

Yes, Malcador was also planning how to persuade Magnus to return to the Imperium. In fact, as early as when the Emperor began the Primarch Plan, the Fifteenth Primarch, as a powerful psychic individual, was conceived to maintain the Golden Throne on behalf of the Emperor when necessary.

Magnus's betrayal was the heaviest loss, and even to the Imperium today, Magnus is even more important than Horus.
