Three Fools Wreak Havoc in Commorragh

To be honest, when the Ulthwé seer questioned Guilliman about whether his three brothers were causing trouble in the Webway, the Lord of Ultramar had wanted to flatly deny it.

It was simply too embarrassing.

After all, nominally speaking, the several Aeldari craftworlds represented by Ulthwé were now humanity's allies.

This was a promise the Emperor had personally made, formally recognized by the Emperor's Blood Pact.

To humanity, the Emperor's Blood Pact was more reliable than any agreement or contract.

And forcibly attacking the Aeldari Webway would undoubtedly violate the alliance the Emperor and the Laughing God had forged.

If Ulthwé truly pursued the matter, Guilliman, as humanity's leader, would have to give his ally an explanation.

Even if the old seer spared Guilliman's dignity and did not press the matter, it was still a political incident involving the relationship between both sides.

But when Guilliman thought of those who had entered the Webway—Lion El'Jonson, that Exterminatus fanatic and xenos butcher, along with Leman Russ, a complete brute and barbarian—his scalp went numb.

Only heaven knew what Lion and Russ might do.

The one thing that gave him a little reassurance was that Jaghatai Khan was with them.

Guilliman knew that Jaghatai Khan was the clearest-sighted and most level-headed of all his brothers.

Back then, everyone had believed he would rebel alongside Horus, yet even when half the White Scars turned traitor, Jaghatai Khan had remained loyal.

"I'm not sure. Until I receive more detailed information, I cannot give you a definite answer."

Hearing Guilliman's thoroughly official response, Ulthwé became certain of it. Who besides Primarchs could have such capabilities?

And this time, it was not one Primarch,
