From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 449

On the platform, neatly arranged Honor Guards wearing exclusive Terminator power armor were neatly and solemnly waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests.

The official name of this Honor Guard is “Gastarin”, which belongs to the Luna Wolves, and they are responsible for welcoming guests from Universe Zero-6——

The glorious guard of the Thousand Sons, namely Sekhmet, and the Primarch Magnus of the Thousand Sons came with them.

In addition to the Honor Guard, officials at all levels responsible for the security, management and construction of Pandora also gathered here to show their grand welcome to Magnus.

The 2nd Company of the Luna Wolves stationed in Pandora, its company commander and many company elites, such as the company champion and other core figures, are also on the list.

The welcoming ceremony for this procession not only demonstrated that the Luna Wolves attach great importance to this cooperation between the two parties, but also sent a signal of the close relationship between the two legions.

After all, the two Primarchs had lived, grown up, and been “trained” together since their youth, and they had a deep friendship.

At this moment, clear and eager laughter came from the welcoming array:

“Hahaha! Long time no see, my brother!”

Horus, who was also dressed in formal attire, opened his arms, walked forward quickly, and enthusiastically greeted his brother who had just stepped off the train.

There was a sincere smile on this original body’s face, and his eyes revealed incomparable kindness and relief.

“Haha, long time no see, brother.”

Magnus also rarely relaxed the serious expression on his face and showed a rare smile.

Faced with Horus’s enthusiasm, he did not hesitate for a moment and also stepped forward, responding to his brother’s embrace.

The two primarchs stood on the platform, and the brotherhood they had not seen for a long time burst out through this silent movement. The surrounding Honor Guards and officials could not help but stand in awe, witnessing this moment that symbolized cooperation and family affection.

In fact, Horus couldn’t help but want to joke, “Finally you are here! Nerd!”.

However, he knew very well that even if he lowered his voice, with the keen hearing of the Astartes, the surrounding Honor Guards could still hear clearly.

In order to maintain the image of a brother and prevent the nickname “nerd” from spreading among the various legions, Horus endured and did not say anything.

Then, when Horus loosened his arms, he raised his right hand and put it on Magnus’s shoulder, leading his brother out of the station.

Magnus glanced at Magnus, whose brows were furrowed again, and his face was a little more sad. He couldn’t help but asked with a smile:

“My brother, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Why do you seem to be getting more and more silent?”

After saying that, Horus patted Magnus on the shoulder, “Have you been studying some heavenly book recently? Is it giving you such a headache?”

After hearing this, Magnus couldn’t help but chuckle again and replied: “It’s just sorting out the entries of the “Human Code” for my father, and writing some notes for the convenience of the legion and the people of the empire. It’s nothing profound. , it’s just easy.”

When the conversation changed, Magnus’ tone became more helpless, “The reason why I frown is because of the evil gods and demons hiding in subspace.

I can feel that their whispers and shadows never stop. Many people who have just joined the empire may be affected by Chaos.

Even if you read the “Human Codex” in time, you can’t escape their temptation and corruption. “

“It’s just a bastard.” After hearing Magnus’s answer, Horus was full of confidence, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, and said:

“Since our brothers have joined forces this time, don’t worry! I will go all out, not only to eliminate those troubles for you, but also to gain rich military exploits for you and the Thousand Sons Legion.

Lest someone always teases you sons of Thousands of Scars for not having fought any battles. “

Horus is not simply conceited, but stems from a deep understanding of his own strength. He has enough confidence to despise the demons and evil gods entrenched in the subspace.

This confidence is not groundless, but is based on countless battles and victories.

You know, Horus once teamed up with Sanguinius and raided Mount Olympus on Mars in the main universe.

Among the fallen gods who were corrupted by subspace and took refuge in the forces of chaos, which one is not the most powerful being?

Even under the “nourishing” of subspace, the fallen gods have mastered more powerful spiritual powers, and even the power to influence the rules of the physical universe.

In the end, wasn’t he unable to survive ten rounds at the hands of Horus and Sanguinius, and was easily defeated, beheaded, and had the origin of his soul taken away by his father?

In that raid, the desperation and fear of the fallen gods were nowhere to be seen.

What is even more dramatic is that even Slaanesh, who has a charming figure and an indistinguishable gender, seems to have recognized the terrifying strength of the two primarchs and has to “keep a distance” from them.

Of course, it could also be that Slaanesh didn’t want to come into direct conflict with their father.

For this reason, Horus never feared the threat of Chaos.

It is right to be vigilant, but if those demons and monsters dare to invade the physical universe, it means that they will have a head-on confrontation with the empire that has the “home field advantage”.

In a head-on confrontation, the Empire has never been able to defeat anyone.

In the original Earth of the main universe, only seven frigates dared to “bomb” the mothership of the Reaper civilization. What’s more, the empire now has millions of Astartes and ten thousand warships of various types.

Therefore, in the eyes of Horus, as long as he followed his father Sui Yang’s orders and strengthened his defenses in advance, he could easily neutralize the threat of the Chaos Evil God.

He even believed that this operation was a good opportunity to clean up the corruption of Chaos, and to uncover the heretics and traitors who were hiding among the people of the empire and pretending to be loyal to the empire.

As long as these hidden dangers are completely eradicated, not only can the stability of the empire be guaranteed, but also the foundation for victory in the upcoming battle can be laid.

No matter how cunning the Chaos forces are, they are destined to be unable to shake the empire’s rule, let alone attempt to erode this pure land.

Moreover, Horus was well aware of his father Sui Yang’s grand plan.

Especially in the context of the heaven and hell in the universe of “Trench Crusaders”, which gradually became the father’s exclusive plane under the influence of the Flower of Purity, and the establishment of the Empire’s national religion.

He was keenly aware that his father was using the “power of faith” to fight against the shadow of the forces of chaos.

Father is not only strengthening the physical combat power of the Legion and the Empire, but also gradually establishing suppression of the Chaos Evil God by manipulating another aspect of spiritual energy and using the power of faith.

This idea made Horus feel extremely shocked and excited, because this was not only a war at the physical level, but also a battle between the spirit and the soul.

Horus speculated that with the in-depth development of the empire’s belief system, the military exploits, honors and prestige of the legion and the original body will no longer just be the accumulation of achievements in the secular sense. These will be transformed into invisible sources of power, strengthening the legion in heaven. and influence in the hell plane.

Every victory they win will become a new pillar of faith, and these pillars can provide continuous “energy” to the empire.

When the power of faith gradually becomes the backbone of the original body and the legion, at that time, they will no longer be simple warriors, but will become real “gods”.

Each of their orders and every battle will be filled with “divine” brilliance, and the residents of the empire will also receive shelter from it and feel the grace and guidance like gods.

Under the protection of this power of faith, the empire will be more invulnerable. Even if the Chaos Evil God tries to spy, he will not be able to shake the foundation of the empire.

That’s why Horus wanted to take advantage of this cooperation opportunity to help the Thousand Sons, who were at the bottom of the legion, gain more military exploits and prestige.

“Brother, please don’t take it lightly.” Magnus, who left the station side by side with Horus, reminded him solemnly:

“The empire’s blueprint and future seem to be infinitely brilliant, but any slight flaw may cause disaster and even drag the empire into an abyss of eternal destruction.

Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence can lead to disaster. “

He paused slightly and looked at Horus with a steady and firm gaze, “Brother, there is no doubt about your strength and achievements, but I hope you will remember that there is only a thin line between confidence and arrogance.

What you are at now is this delicate tipping point. “

“.”

Hearing this, Horus’s expression finally calmed down, and the joyful expression of the brothers’ reunion after a long separation gradually faded away, and he fell into a rare silence.

Indeed, the recent Lunar Wolf can be described as “unlimited scenery”.

With the “World War Z” and “Avatar” universes, the population under the control of the Luna Wolves has reached nearly 50 billion, and there is no shortage of resources. The size of the legion ranks second among the major legions in the empire.

Coupled with the fact that the space gate opened by his father and those new universes were no match for the Empire, Horus’ self-confidence grew over time.

Even Chaos, those evil gods entrenched in the subspace that even his father was extremely afraid of, were nothing to him.

After the New Mombasa incident, the noise of the Chaos forces suddenly subsided, and both the activities of heretics and the signs of subspace erosion were significantly weakened.

This made Horus more determined, and the current empire was almost invincible.

However, Magnus’ words made him alert that maybe

perhaps

It is this invincible belief that makes him gradually lost between self-confidence and arrogance.

Unconsciously, the glory and huge military power of the Moon Wolf also made him feel proud.

He believes that both the alien civilization and the chaos hiding in the darkness are just trash.

In fact, according to the original plan, Horus planned to take Magnus to take a good look at Pandora, which was already suitable for human habitation and life, and then treat his brother and a group of Sekhmet to a banquet.

After reminiscing about old times, he and Magnus will personally inspect the major colonies in the “Avatar” universe to find out those heretics who have fallen to the plane of chaos and “keep out” any invasion in advance.

Now it seems that Horus is indeed a little too confident and proud, and even “impatient”.

At this moment, Horus looked at Magnus with his peripheral vision.

Magnus stayed with his father for a long time. After the space gate to Universe 06 was opened and the integration was completed, he was appointed as the governor of Universe 06 and left his father’s side.

Horus did not expect that Magnus was now a calm and wise being.

And Magnus was both a brother and a close friend to him, always able to give him important reminders in the most selfless way.

Then Horus nodded slightly, and he and Magnus entered the exclusive aerospace craft specially built for the height and “size” of the original body.

He took a deep breath, his eyes became clear, and he said:

“Brother, what you said is absolutely true. Let’s go to the 2nd Company’s surface base first and discuss the specific inspection plan together.”

“It’s good if you realize it, brother, let’s go.”

Seeing that Horus had heard his advice, Magnus responded with a relieved smile.

——

Next.

Gastalin and Sekhmet, who belonged to the Honor Guard, boarded the Thunderhawk gunships of the Luna Wolves, guarding the airships carrying the two Primarchs, and flew over the city in an orderly manner, heading straight for the 2nd Company’s surface base stationed in the suburbs.

Inside the airship, Magnus sat by the window, looking through the sealed window and taking in the bustling scene of the city.

Below, there were rows of giant buildings and well-arranged city parks. Each piece of green space was carefully designed, like a piece of emerald embedded in the steel jungle; and outside the city, there was an endless natural scenery dotted with mountains and lakes.

Magnus cast his eyes over the forest in the distance, and couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

More than a dozen four-winged dragons were seen flying in the sky, ignoring the patrolling drones, as if they were completely accustomed to the existence of humans, and they were flying above the forest and flying towards the lake in the distance.

It seems that under the careful management of brother Horus, Pandora has successfully preserved its original ecological environment and coexisted harmoniously with human buildings.

At the same time, Magnus secretly sighed in his heart that Pandora is worthy of being one of the few naturally habitable planets under the Empire.

If this harmonious symbiosis can be maintained for a long time, Pandora can even develop into a “garden world” in the future.

It can attract residents from different universes to come for sightseeing, develop tourism, promote the economy, and even set it as one of the symbols of imperial civilization, making this land not only a source of resources, but also a demonstration of harmonious coexistence of all races.

Moreover, without Eva, the “planetary will”, Pandora’s development will be smoother.

“Brother, I am indeed a little too confident and proud.”

At this moment, Horus, who was also looking at the scenery outside the window, said to Magnus with an apologetic and grateful tone:

“Perhaps the smoothness during this period made me a little impatient. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise I might not have realized my state.”

“Hehe, this is what I should do, brother.” Magnus waved his hand lightly, indicating that it didn’t matter, and said:

“No matter when and where, we need to stay awake and vigilant, by the way.”

At this point, Magnus seemed to remember something, and asked Horus in a serious voice with a stern look:

“What about those Na’vi? Will they cause trouble for the Empire again?”
