Impetus
"My purpose in visiting these various Legion this time is to see how these young men from the Thirteen-Person Group are performing while stationed in your Legion."
What is the performance of the garrison?
"That's wonderful, Uncle! You must see these. Please come with me."
Horus then led Han Mingxuan to a Private Display Room.
"Wow, a room full of honors?"
"Yes, a room full of honors, all because of Impetus alone."
"Real?"
"Of course it's true, Uncle. I have no reason to lie to you. In Impetus, I see the most perfect future form of Luna Wolves."
"And that's the only Medals I ever awarded him."
Horus became more and more excited as he spoke, and then took out a Medals that was placed in the very center of the room full of honors.
"This Medals isn't a common design in the Imperium."
"That's right, Uncle. This is Medals specially customized according to the Legion's culture; basically every Legion has one."
"So what does this Medals mean?"
"This Medals signifies that Impetus has received the highest, and indeed the only, honor within the Luna Wolves, second only to me."
Oh?
What's the name of this Medals?
"The Perfect Wolf."
???
If Han Mingxuan hadn't known that this world wouldn't have many cultural remnants from his previous life, he would have thought Horus was a time traveler.
What do you mean by Perfect Wolf? That sounds really strange.
"Look at this, Uncle. This is Terminator Armour that I had specially commissioned from Vulkan to be custom-made for him."
Horus opened a door to the showroom, where a Terminator Armour set sat quietly inside.
The Luna Wolves's classic color scheme, however, features the Eighth Legion's bat-scale emblem on the left shoulder and the XVI Legion's Omniscient Eye on the right shoulder.
At the same time, in the very center of the chest of the entire armor.
It depicts a snow wolf howling at the moon.
"Did you just build this recently?"
This armor set is too new.
Upon hearing Han Mingxuan's question, Horus's eyes were filled with disappointment and regret.
"I made this three years ago, but unfortunately Impetus never wears it."
"I am the Judge of the Planet of Eternal Night, I am a member of the Evernight Legion, this is my loyalty, Primarch."
Sometimes I really wish you weren't so loyal.
Horus admired Impetus's loyalty, but he also envied the Assault Master's loyalty.
Horus was well aware of his Legion's place within the entire Imperial Army: the undisputed spearhead of the Imperium's offensive.
And what is Impetus?
He is a sharp knife.
A sharp knife that is always sharp, never dulls, never breaks, and never cracks.
"You admire him. Can you tell me why?"
"Of course, Uncle."
"You know what, Uncle? I can say with absolute certainty that Impetus is the sharpest Fang of the Luna Wolves."
"You're not wrong. In the entire Thirteen-Person Group, even Sevatar's individual assault ability is inferior to Impetus '."
If we're talking about the combat strength ranking within the entire Legion, Curze is number one.
Then came Sevatar, Aequus, and Talos.
But if you were to ask who has the strongest assault capability within the entire Legion?
It was undoubtedly Impetus himself.
His Warp abilities are unique, or rather, his abilities are a kind of belief in the Warp.
Similar to Orks Psychic Power.
However, unlike the Orks' Psychic Powers, the Orks believe that whatever they believe will come true.
Impetus's ability was that the more focused he was, the sharper his blade became.
Therefore, among the entire Thirteen-Person Group, Impetus was the most focused, because his focus was his fighting power.
"However, Impetus's abilities have a limit, so you'd better be careful."
"Oh, Uncle, you really know him very well. That's exactly what I wanted to say, Impetus's best quality."
"When he first arrived at the XVI Legion, his individual combat capabilities were exceptional."
"Usually, in a team where he's present, the other members become mere background figures."
"Initially, because his abilities were so overwhelming, the Luna Wolves members who fought alongside him had many complaints about him, so I talked to him about it."
"But the answer I received was that he still had room to spare, which shocked me greatly."
"So I started a test."
"Test?"
"Yes, Uncle, it's a test of war; I want to know where his limits are."
Horus is really something, coming up with this idea, but he's going to be disappointed.
As expected, Horus's next words completely confirmed Han Mingxuan's guess.
"But Uncle, do you know what I saw?"
"During that battle, I tested Impetus's individual combat capabilities to their limits, but then he actually asked the team to cooperate."
"Then, he actually deployed the Evernight Network, and subsequently incorporated the entire combat squad into his operational system. As a result, both the squad's combat capabilities and his own individual assault capabilities experienced an exponential leap!"
"Uncle, can you imagine? Under such harsh conditions, Impetus and his four teammates conquered an entire Planet in just three hours!"
"It was on that same day three years ago that I awarded him the Perfect Wolf Badge."
"That is the highest honor of the entire XVI Legion, an honor born from him, unprecedented and unparalleled!"
It was also on that day that this Judge from the Eighth Legion,
With his undeniable individual combat skills and unparalleled teamwork abilities,
They completely conquered everyone in the XVI Legions, including Horus.
Watching Horus deliver his impassioned speech, it was as if he were reciting an epic poem.
"You are excellent, Impetus, I've always known you are excellent."
"Your approval is my greatest honor, Uncle."
"Not modest at all?" Han Mingxuan asked with a smile.
"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy, you taught me that, Uncle."
That kid's really cunning.
"Uncle, before I met Impetus, I always believed that there was a power gap between Primarch and Space Marines within the Imperium military system."
"But after meeting him, I realized that the gap in combat power between us had been completely bridged—a perfect transition, a perfect connection!"
In Horus's evaluation system, an ordinary Space Marine's combat strength is ten.
Elite units, then, can have a combat strength of fifty to one hundred.
As for people like the Four Kings Council, their combat strength can range from five hundred to one thousand.
However, the Primarch's combat power is between 80,000 and 100,000.
The emergence of the Evernight Legion undoubtedly filled this gap.
In Horus's combat power evaluation system, the average combat ability of all members of the Evernight Legion reached a terrifying four thousand.
The Thirteen-Person Group Council of the Long Night has an average combat strength of eight thousand.
In an individual's specialty area, their combat strength can easily reach 10,000.
As for Curze's first second-in-command, Sevatar, Horus believed his average combat ability was 10,000.
The gap in combat capabilities between the Primarch and the Space Marines has been perfectly bridged.
These people from the Evernight Legion are not Space Marines at all; they are Primarch in smaller form!
