PS: There is one more update tonight.
Within the throne room, Magnus and the Emperor's conversation was still ongoing.
"Her power seems to be very helpful in creating Grey Knight." The king's voice sounded confused. "That Xenomorph God's power is very special. I suspect … you know about the fall of the Spirit."
"You mean?" When Magnus heard the words "fall of the Spirit," his eyes opened wide.
The Child of a Thousand Sores geno prototype was stupid in many ways, but it was undeniable that he was very knowledgeable. He was like a professor. He suddenly realized something. "It looks like you have found a treasure."
"Not necessarily, but at least there is no harm in it. My conversation with Xi Legao was based on this." The king did not say anything more. Magnus did not say anything either. Some things were enough for him to say.
"… But it is still an Xenomorph God. Grey Knight is the last gift you have left for humanity. It will not be touched by the Xenomorph God." Magnus thought for a while and decided to give the king a warning. "How can you tolerate this? If you can tolerate this, why can't you tolerate me and the Thousand Sons? "
"What makes you think you are purer than her? She is more like a human than you are. She has been a human god for over a thousand years. Magnus, do not use your low intelligence to judge my plan. " The Emperor raised his head. His holy face, which was covered in endless miracles and light, revealed a hint of anger. "Magnus, use your brain. Why didn't I kill her? It's been ten thousand years. Apart from screwing things up, you don't know anything else."
"Yes, very good." Speaking of this matter, Magnus was also filled with anger. "Yes, you can have Kirman go on the Unyielding Expedition, you can have Vulcan immerse himself in recasting the Storm Warriors, you can have Zhuang Sen go on an expedition to the Titanium Planet, you can rest assured that Leon, Fogen, and Anglo will fight on that special planet. But me? You tricked me to come here and let me sit on the Golden Throne. I can only move freely for a dozen days a year. Okay, for you, I endured it. Now you despise me?! "
"This is the only thing you can do for humanity, Magnus." The king's voice was cold and emotionless. "I don't want to repeat what you screwed up."
"Tsk! You only know how to talk about that! " Magnus, rather annoyed, stopped complaining about the Imperial Emperor. That's right. He was the one who had screwed everything up.
The entire throne room was silent again. Only the sound of the Golden Throne operating and the mechanical clergy repairing and adjusting the machines could be heard. Magnus wanted to ask something, but he remembered that he had already used up all the opportunities given to him by the Emperor. If he asked again, his wise and mighty father might not even answer.
He hated this feeling.
After thinking carefully, Magnus tried to ask, "Zhuang Sen should be back by now, right, Father?"
Just a while ago, the dark angel gene prototype, Leon El Zhuang Sen, had received an order from the king. He had to lead the dark angels to attack a very important home world of the Titanium Empire. In addition to the dark angel squad led by Zhuang Sen, there was also an entire army of the Machinery Faith's foundry world involved in this operation.
Zhuang Sen was unhappy that he was always sent to deal with weaklings like the Titanium race, but he still completed his mission very well. He formed an alliance with the Machinery Faith's army and broke into the home world. They ruthlessly attacked the countless reinforcements sent by the Titanium Empire. Countless fire warriors were slaughtered in fear and despair. After the dark angels wiped out almost all the surface creatures like wiping glass, the biggest secret of the Titanium Empire's home world was exposed to Zhuang Sen.
This home world stored the highest technological achievements of the Titanium Empire in the past few hundred years. The mechanical clergy started digging in ecstasy, and Zhuang Sen collected a lot of alien technology. He was satisfied with the results of the battle, and the little dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
Now, Zhuang Sen and his dark angel squad were on the Caliban ship, leading more than ten giant interstellar cargo ships of the Machinery Faith. They were filled with the latest war machines and technological research results of the Titanium Empire. They were on their way back to Mars.
Since the king's return, the king of humans had greatly improved the treatment of the Machinery Faith. The Machinery Faith was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Tara Supreme Lord Council. Instead, it was directly under the king's will.
Even so, the Machinery Faith was not very grateful. To these machine geeks, the Machinery Faith had never been a part of the human Empire. The king had only restored their rightful position.
Yes, from the beginning to the end, many humans had superficially thought that the Machinery Faith was the blind head of the two-headed eagle of the human Empire. This was completely wrong. From the foundry generals to the gearhead kids, they all thought that according to the agreement between the king and the Machinery Faith, the human Empire was one head of the two-headed eagle, and the Machinery Faith was the other head. Both sides were in an equal partnership.
However, the return of the king with a large number of STC modules made the machine geeks very happy. Now, in addition to Great Sage Cole of Mars, Yellow Spring 8, Lucius, Rizza, and other key foundry generals of the foundry world had come to Tara to meet the king one after another. They had made their requests and suggestions, and they had taken away many new technologies that they 'deserved'.
"They have arrived on Mars." As if it was because of the wine, the king said a few more words. "If this is your wish, then you will be able to meet Zhuang Sen very soon."
"Who wants to meet him …" Magnus muttered. He obviously did not like Zhuang Sen either.
"… Sometimes, I miss the time when I played chess with three other people in the subspace," the king added. He raised his glass of wine. "Although as long as there is a chance, we all want to immediately end each other's existence."
"Three people? Play chess? "Magnus, hearing this, was completely confused.
"Me, Tzeentch, Xi Legao, and Tarasin the Infinite." The king put down his glass. "We will play a kind of military chess game."
"Military chess? I didn't know you liked this. "Magnus was very curious.
"With the Star Field as the chessboard, with the original body and countless soldiers as the chess pieces," the king said calmly. The Supreme Emperor said calmly, "You don't even have the right to be a chess piece in this game. Magnus, if you want to have a chance to perform, it's best that you learn more about the nature of the subspace and the origin of the universe. Sometimes, sitting on a golden throne isn't pure torture. Let's see how much you can learn."
A feeling of excitement filled Magnus's heart. The child of a thousand wounds suddenly had an excitement that he had not felt in a long time. His father had not given up on him. He had allowed him to sit on the golden throne not only to atone for his sins, but also to teach him something.
"I understand, Father." Magnus's voice could not help but sound excited. "Please look forward to my performance."
"Very good." The Emperor's expression was as cold as ever. His rest was over, and he began to work once more. Magnus closed his eyes, carefully controlling the operation of the golden throne.
The throne room was quiet again.
… I am the section line that quietly draws water …
Old World, east of the Roof of the World Mountain Range, Dark Land.
Tarim Khan and his army had arrived at the Dark Land. This was a famous, corrupted land.
The Khan of Kurgan was no longer the slender Lustful God champion. He had abandoned that body. Now, he possessed the body of a giant ogre called Mountain Breaker.
It all started with the long journey that had taken place over the past year.
After preparing to go south, Tarim Khan clearly realized that, based on past experience, it was impossible to defeat the Empire's army with just a large army and the bravery of warriors. This was a country guarded by steel, magic, guns, and cold, solid castles. It had stood strong for a long time in an environment surrounded by strong enemies.
In order to repay Nurgle's kindness and blessings and the supreme glory of Chaos, Tarim Khan decided to put his pride and arrogance aside for the time being. The failure of Isaac Kuval, the Eternal God of Chaos, in the second Chaos invasion proved that attacking from Kislöw was a foolish idea. The most tenacious Mrs. Kiesler, the strongest line of defense, and the Empire's most elite reinforcements were stationed there. At that time, Isaac Kuval led an army of 500,000 Chaos and died in the end. Tarim Khan learned a lesson. So he planned to attack Charlemagne's Empire from the south, from the weak point of the Empire.
Tarim Khan soon faced the predicament of his military strength. He had less than 50,000 men. Obviously, there was not much hope for him to take down the legendary country. So when Tarim Khan crossed the Artayan Mountains, a tribe called Doegan immediately caught his attention. This was a Kurgan tribe, one of the largest and most powerful tribes in the entire Kurgan race. The Doegan marauders had always been known for their irritable and stubborn character. They were hated by the other reclusive and conservative northern tribes.
Tarim Khan really hoped to take these powerful warriors under his banner. Especially the Doegan warriors' War Mammoth Unit, which was famous for its strength. These War Mammoths that the Doegan warriors rode were like living siege tanks. If needed, they could directly trample and crush small enemy troops.
So, after a short encounter, Tarim Khan immediately extended an olive branch to the Doegan Army. The leader of the Doegan Army, the Grand Warlock who possessed peak legendary strength, 'Faithless' Sayel, was extremely cunning. He immediately saw an opportunity to expand his power and influence through Tarim Khan. After considering the gains and losses, Sayel accepted the request for an alliance. However, he requested that he and Tarim Khan had to be on equal footing. They were allies and not superior and subordinate.
Tarim Khan immediately accepted this condition. So, his military strength quickly increased from less than 50,000 to over 100,000. The two armies converged. Tarim Khan immediately decided to cross the Sorrowful Mountains. He would find the path filled with blood and glory according to the evil god's prophecy. They would attack the Empire from the south of the Empire. It was like a dagger that pierced from the abdomen to the heart, avoiding the hard bones and piercing the soft flesh that couldn't withstand a single blow.
It was destined to be a long journey, but Tarim Khan firmly believed that Nurgle would bless him and his army.
But reality wasn't as easy as Tarim Khan imagined.
There were many Human tribes in the Kurgan Plains, but in the long history, due to the worsening corruption of Chaos, most of the Human tribes crossed the Roof of the World and settled in the northern region of the Empire. Now, the Orcs, Green Dwarves, Ogres, and Chaos Dwarves lived there.
In the first battle after crossing the Sorrowful Mountains, Tarim Khan faced an Orc army. He didn't disappoint and easily won. The Orc King was easily captured by Tarim Khan's Toad Dragon and thrown to the ground. The Orc army of tens of thousands collapsed and was successfully absorbed by Tarim Khan.
But that was the end of his good luck.
Tarim Khan's army soon faced a major obstacle on their way south.
The Aurora Empire built a huge fortress on the Silk Road — the Protectorate of the Western Region.
The Doegan army led by Sayl the Faithless suffered a crushing defeat in the war against the Protectorate of the Western Region. The Doegan army lost more than 30,000 men. The Aurora Empire's Protectorate of the Western Region had a large number of elite troops and Wizards stationed there. The fortified walls and cannons made it impossible to attack again unless Tarim Khan wanted to pay a heavy price for a Pyrrhic victory.
Sayl's crushing defeat proved that the Silk Road was impassable. The army had to give up their original plan and change their route to the Ogre Kingdom. They had to find a way to cross the Ogre Kingdom, enter the Dark Realm, and attempt to cross the Roof of the World.
After entering the Ogre Kingdom, the army encountered a true test.
A tribe of ogres called 'Red Fist' blocked the army's path. With no other choice, Tarim Khan could only lead his army and engage in a direct confrontation with the ogre tribe.
There was no need to elaborate on the strength of the ogres. Tarim Khan's army struggled against the ogres and giants of the ogre tribe. In the end, with no other choice, Tarim Khan personally rode the Toad Dragon and charged forward, engaging in a sacred showdown with the ogre leader, Mountainbreaker.
Tam Khagan's body was still that of the Champion of Sin, Sargas. He displayed astonishing agility and used his rapier to blind one of the eyes of the ogre leader, Mountain Breaker. Mountain Breaker seized the opportunity and grabbed Tam Khagan's body, tearing it into pieces on the spot.
It seemed that the ogres had won.
The Mountain Breaker raised its hands triumphantly, declaring its victory.
It was a pity that the intelligence of the ogres was too low. They didn't know that hesitation would lead to defeat.
Just as Mountainbreaker let down his guard, Tarim Khan used his ultimate skill. The torn corpse of the champion of sin, Sargas, spat out a white maggot that burrowed into Mountainbreaker's mouth. It followed the esophagus into Mountainbreaker's chest and swallowed the ogre!
A new Tarim Khan was reborn in the body of the Ogre Tyrant.
Just like that, Tarim Khan transformed from a slender champion of sin who used a thin sword to a three-meter tall giant ogre who used a large club. Under his victorious roar, the ogres and giants of the red fist tribe finally chose to surrender. More ogres and orcs joined Tarim Khan's army.
The entire winter witnessed how the minions of Chaos advanced dauntlessly across the Graywater River. From the desolate mountain path in the north to the uninhabited Ghostly Forest in the south, the unclean army was everywhere. Whether it was the numerous ogres, the black scorpions that were as large as watchtowers, or even the cruel and warlike ogres, they only had three choices in the face of the Chaos army: death, surrender, or escape.
Now, the army of the King of Maggots was obstructed by a murky Blackwater River.
Tarim Khan suddenly realized that the Blackwater River was the border that separated the Dark Realm and the Ogre Kingdom!
The castle of the Chaos Dwarves was across the river!
