Poaching

"Uncle, could you please stop joining in the commotion?"

"Haha, these are the growing pains, Lorgar."

In the end, even the Legion of the Seventeenth Legion could not escape the pursuit of the Luna Wolves.

Of course, in Han Mingxuan's opinion, this wasn't funny enough.

So he gave Russ a wink.

If I can't deal with the Huangpizi, can't I at least deal with Lorgar?

Russ understood what her Uncle meant.

Sorry, bro, it's not that I want to mess with you, it's that your Uncle wants to mess with you too.

I don't know what Allfather did to make him hold you accountable, but that's not important, since there are still two matches left.

"Alright, alright, you all should take your seats now, Horus. And while you're at it, introduce me to your lads."

"Haha! No problem, Uncle."

Horus's eyes shone with pride when he spoke of his Scions.

"This is Ezekyle Abaddon, my eldest son, the strongest of my Scions, he is my Lupercal."

"Hello Mr. Han. Han."

Still that Abaddon, still that spiky ponytail.

However, Han Mingxuan wouldn't openly call him Abaddon, as that would damage his image.

"This is Sejanus, my Second Company, and he's my Guilliman."

"Mr. Han, I've long admired your name."

"This is Sedirae, he's my Dorn."

"Homage to you, Father of Night."

"This is Aximand, the Scions most resembles me."

Hello, Mr. Han.

"This is Torgaddon, he can be considered my Ferrus Manus."

Hello, Mr. Han.

"And, Loken."

Horus remained calm, or rather indifferent, towards Loken, the Scions least like himself, unlike his other Scions.

However, Han Mingxuan knew very well that Horus valued Garviel Loken highly.

The last Luna Wolves, Garviel Loken, is Sanguinius of Horus.

Horus, have you ever heard of the Imperium Anti-Corruption campaign?

Imperium Anti-Corruption?

"Uncle, you're joking. How could I not have heard of such a thing?"

"If you ask me, Uncle, you're really something. You got right to the Imperium Anti-Corruption campaign."

"So, would you like to join them?"

So direct?

Horus originally planned to have a good talk with Han Mingxuan when he had some free time during the Great Crusade, and ask Han Mingxuan to include his Scions in the Anti-Corruption plan.

Seeing Han Mingxuan in the Space Wolves fleet today was both unexpected and a pleasant surprise for him.

After all, this would finally give him the opportunity to bring up the matter, but he didn't expect that it would be Han Mingxuan who brought it up first.

Horus had always been Great Astartes Supremacy, and he had been seeking a place for the Space Marines at the core of the Imperium of Man's power.

His Uncle's teachings to Curze enabled the Eighth Legion to immediately enter the core of the Imperium power structure after Curze's return.

In fact, it was this incident that made Horus treat his Uncle with even greater respect than before.

Moreover, as the First-Returned Son of the Emperor, Horus viewed his relationship with his Uncle as deeper and more far-reaching.

In his view, his relationship with his Uncle was more than just that of uncle and nephew.

Within the entire Imperium Bureaucratic System,

His Uncle could very well become the representative figure of all the Legiones Astartes within the Imperium power structure.

Although his Uncle appeared to be Mortals, Horus was well aware of his extraordinary nature.

"Uncle, the XVI Legion —take whatever you fancy."

"Then I'll really choose, and you can't back out later."

"Haha, of course I won't go back on my word, Uncle."

"That's good. To put it simply, I want Sejanus and Garviel Loken."

"Uncle, didn't you plan this all along?"

"You're quite clever, kid. I already mentioned it to the Emperor at the very beginning of the Anti-Corruption campaign."

"I will recruit relevant talent from various Legions, and their abilities will all reach the level of the Four Kings Council within your Legion."

Hearing Han Mingxuan say this, Horus had to admire his Uncle's sharp eye.

The reason was simple: in his mind, Garviel Loken was also fully capable of becoming a core member of the Four Kings Council.

This Scions, so unlike himself, was his own Sanguinius, his own Great Angel.

"No problem, since it's someone Uncle asked for, I naturally won't stop him."

"Then there's no problem. Sejanus, Loken, you two come here."

The reason Han Mingxuan transferred the master and apprentice away was entirely because he had a deep impression of them from the Original Canon story.

Especially Loken.

It was a great pity he died.

He was betrayed and stabbed to death by that troublemaker, Erebus.

Mr. Han.

"Don't be too nervous, guys, today is the Space Wolves' feast!"

"Haha! That's right! Uncle helped us solve the problem of Gene-seed mutation, so this will be the grandest banquet ever held by the Sixth Legion!"

They actually solved the Sixth Legion's Gene-seed mutation problem?!

"Horus, we both underestimated Han Uncle. He not only solved the Gene-seed problem of the Space Wolves, but also the Flesh Change problem of the Thousand Sons."

"All resolved?!"

"Don't be so surprised, Horus. You know Old ginger is spicier, and your Uncle is still your Uncle."

"Uncle, let me toast you!"

"Okay, let's drink!"

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Lorgar was already dizzy with exhaustion.

Without a doubt, the Space Wolves's Primarch, Leman Russ Russ, has the upper hand once again.

Russ was overjoyed at the victory, while Horus felt somewhat awkward.

For Russ, his unhappiness gradually disappeared with each victory, while for Horus, his heart was filled with complex emotions.

Firstly, Lorgar, being treated this way by another brother, was somewhat both amusing and exasperating.

Secondly, seeing his brother, who most resembles his father, now in such a state of shock and disarray.

Horus was somewhat angry, and also felt a bit strange.

Lorgar looks so much like his father that Lorgar's current appearance causes him to hallucinate that he is seeing his father.

Would a father do the same?

I guess so.

He wasn't sure either, but looking at Lorgar's condition, Horus had to convince himself that his father would indeed do this.

"Russ, I'll take Lorgar downstairs to rest first."

"Go ahead, but don't let my warships wail and howl in the middle of the night."

"Howling like a wolf is something only you and your Scions would do."

"Hard to say," Trazyn said with a smile.

"Haha! Yes, yes! Trazyn is right, it is indeed hard to say!"

"You guys are really something else."

Horus muttered a helpless complaint and left the banquet with Lorgar.

"Alright Old Han, they're all gone now, stop holding it in."

"Pfft."
