In near-Earth orbit, the two legions were neatly lined up on either side of the starport, while inside the Abomination, two large men sat side by side with Mordred.

"How can they be so similar?"

"You two are so alike, you're practically identical! But Corvus Corax, your hair is a bit oily, remember to wash it with my 13-in-1 shampoo when you get back."

That's right, the good brother Mordred found for Corvus Corax was Koz.

Of all the Primarchs, only Koz was found by Mordred shortly after birth and raised by her from childhood. Although he was called her younger brother, Mordred treated him like her own son.

Not to mention, Lady Yuton, a parenting expert, dedicated herself to giving Bat Boy, who was originally unloved, a relatively happy childhood.

Upon learning that he had a younger brother, Koz immediately agreed to mentor him.

"Don't worry, Nineteenth Brother, from now on, you'll follow Brother Eight and live a life of luxury. You said you like soaking in hot springs, what a coincidence, Brother Eight likes them too."

Corvus Corax had heard Koz's story before, and from the Legion elders, he knew that before his brother returned to the Legion, the Night Lords were a bunch of criminals, thugs, and villains.

After returning, the Night Lords gradually reformed. Although he still enjoyed skinning people for fun, he had clearly improved a lot.

Most importantly, although bloodthirsty, the Night Lords value fairness and justice. If you are innocent and not some kind of Xenos, then there will be no trouble.

This gave Corvus Corax a pretty good first impression of Koz, especially since he was just as handsome as himself; they were a perfect match.

Watching his two younger brothers chatting happily and exploring the laws and regulations in depth, Mordred couldn't help but sigh. A bad childhood really does require a lifetime to heal, Lady Yuton's value is still rising.

Seeing that everything was going in a good direction, Mordred felt it was time for him to leave; he hadn't been home in a long time.

However, before leaving, Mordred called the two brothers, who had already discussed where to spend the night, over and gave them some instructions:

"Corvus Corax, don't rush the Great Crusade. Take care of your home base first, or you'll be in trouble when things get out of hand."

You might not like that Fal, he is indeed a bit slick, but after all, he served acting Legion Commander for over a century, so he's got some skills.

Pay special attention to the factional balance within the legion. If you don't understand anything, ask Koz; after all, he studied in Macragge, and Guilliman is a golden brand.

The Raven King nodded. Even he, who had only recently returned to the empire, could tell that Guilliman was an Ambition man, and he had also heard that Guilliman was particularly fond of being late.

It's no wonder everyone thinks that way; after all, Guilliman has a big butt and is good at having children. Other legions only have so many people, but Guilliman has so many offspring, and yet he calls himself the Duchy of Ultramar.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. The existence of a country within a country like the Ultramar 500 Worlds would raise suspicions in any era.

If it were Li Er Emperor Taizong of Tang) with such a wonderful start, let alone Xuanwu Gate confrontation Holy Terra Gate Incident, he would have staged a coup the very next day, proclaiming "I, I, I! Even dogs bark at me, I am the true Son of true son of heaven!"

Even the old man Malcador joked that if the Ultramarines betrayed the Empire, then the Empire would be truly finished, and in a few years, an endless stream of Smurfs would drown everyone.

As for the passive habit of always being late, that's a complete rumor, and even Mordred doesn't believe it.

Take the last Beast Wars as an example. Did Guilliman deliberately arrive late? Of course not. They faced the main force of the Orks and wiped out 80,000 Ultramarines.

Joking aside, they still distinguished between important and trivial matters. After understanding the whole story, even Magnus forgave Guilliman and they even got together to play games.

Seeing that Corvus Corax had taken it to heart, Mordred turned to Koz and, to the bat's bewildered look, gave him a sharp flick on the forehead.

"Second Brother, what are you doing?"

"What? I'd like to ask you that! I told you to be careful with the legion's vetting process, and now look what's happened. Your subordinates are lying to their superiors and subordinates. If I hadn't discovered it early, they might have shoved a bunch of thugs and criminals into the Night Lords."

A stack of intelligence reports was slammed onto the table, clearly recording the various actions of the 45th Claw Lord of the Night Lords, Skalvorok. This guy even called himself the Tattooed Count because of the tattoos on his face.

Koz remained silent, but his face darkened. It was better to discover it early than to be exposed later. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the Tattooed Count's face would be peeled off and used as an ornament.

Having said what needed to be said, Mordred made a clean getaway. However, before leaving, he made a data prototype of the abstract inventions in his lab and handed it over to Corvus Corax and Koz.

Although Mordred claimed not to believe in prophecies, Horus's prophecy still took Mordred to heart; better safe than sorry.

Perhaps the appearance of Corvus Corax triggered some kind of chain reaction, as Horus, on the other side of the galaxy, also discovered a new Primarch.

To be precise, this Primarch was not discovered by Horus, but rather captured by him.

Since repairing the Eye of Horus, Horus, who has Warmaster Position, has gained greater power. He directly united 15 main fleets and plunged into the Ghoul Sector, intending to launch a pincer attack.

But as the fighting went on, Horus realized something was wrong. The Ghoul Sector was indeed living up to its reputation; it was full of all sorts of monsters and demons. A bunch of Black Sprouts pirates were following him around, sneaking in and taking advantage of the chaos.

Damn it, I, Horus, a dignified Imperial Warmaster, have been taken advantage of by others! I just conquered this world, the war isn't even over yet, and you're already looting it. You're completely disregarding us!

Since Atlas started its scrap metal recycling business, the space junk that was previously reduced to scrap metal has become a treasure. Dragging it back and selling it as scrap metal can earn a lot of ammunition, which is damn money!

War is all about economics. The Moon Wolves, whose tastes have been spoiled and who has gradually embarked on the evil path of heavy firepower Carpet Bombing, was instantly enraged.

"You dare steal my spoils? You're so arrogant, you're asking for death!"

Each Primarch inherited some of the Emperor's traits, and Horus clearly inherited his Ambition and conquest.

Without any hesitation, Horus, in a fit of rage, personally led Gasterin to join the attack, beating the group of Black sprouts until they questioned their very existence.

Perhaps the Emperor was right; anyone who has had too much contact with Mordred will become an idiot. If we're really talking about time, Horus might be the one who has had the longest contact with Mordred, after all, he has a 13-year round-the-world trip to prove it.

Because the Human Federation Dark Age of Technology was so insane that it didn't even consider its own people as human, it even went so far as to use the death echoes of infants' wails as a Blasphemous Artifact for energy.

Not to mention the Xenos races, who were treated as livestock to be slaughtered at will, to the point that now that they are an alien race, they harbor a deep-seated hatred for humans.

Daemon feel no pain, Xenos cannot be tamed, and each legion has its own little secrets.

Atlas has grown into Galactic Mega-corporation by only being able to use a portion of the Webway branches, making other forces extremely envious, including Horus, who has just been promoted to Warmaster and is eager to prove himself.

Without any hesitation, upon discovering that the enemy was actually Black sprouts, who could use the Webway, Moon Wolves chased after them like a mad dog.

Even hiding in the Webway, they weren't afraid. A full 15 main fleets plunged into the Webway and managed to catch up with Commorragh!

As everyone knows, Commorragh is a sacred place in the Milky Way, a place that can stop children from crying at night, but the problem is that the Imperials don't know that.

Upon seeing this indescribably super ancient Webway nexus, Horus's first reaction was not to retreat, but to exclaim, "So beautiful, Commorragh!"

Races across much of the galaxy know that a group of insane, terrifying upright apes called the Empire are launching Great Crusade.

Seeing that things were not going well, Black sprouts tried to negotiate, saying that they were just a Kabal and that the other party should leave quickly if they knew what was good for them, otherwise they would call for help and it would not look good for anyone.

"Ah, the Boxers? You fucking dare not!"

Everything I see is imperial territory. I am the Imperial Warmaster, my power is limitless, the ancestral laws are immutable, and Commorragh is a sacred and inseparable part of the Empire. Now I ask you, why are you staying in my house? Ah! Answer me!"

Clearly, Horus had mastered Mordred's shamelessness to the fullest extent, and even learned the Emperor's sacred profanities.

Seeing that these Xenos not only didn't surrender but were even thinking of doing something else, Horus suddenly became superhuman and destroyed the Kabal's base in just five hours.

Then, Moon Wolves discovered Omega, who had been bound like a dumpling and used as Star Slaves, in the bedroom of the leader of that Kabal deep in this other-dimensional space!

"Waaaaah (; A)"

The moment Horus saw Omega, he knew that this was definitely his brother. Now that things had come to this, the most important task was to bring his good brother back to the Kiya!

Horus was enraged to see Omega covered in gadgets, rolling his eyes like a roast goose, and so tormented that he couldn't even speak. And so began their escape.

After all, there are probably more monsters and demons in the Webway than in the real world. The leader of that Kabal wasn't lying; she really did call in people.

The good news is that the Moon Wolves did not get lost in the Webway, and Horus did not become the first Puma Wolf. They returned the way they came and plunged directly into the Warp.

The bad news is that some chilling changes have occurred in my brother:

"Bro, why are your ears so pointy?"
