The Rite of War and the Teddy Bear

"Mission accomplished!"

Khârn is very excited now.

Because of him, Khârn, he finally became a cultured man!

I'm an educated person, and I can persuade people with reason!

"Did you learn the tune you just heard?"

Song?

"Report: I've learned it!"

"Very good, I hope you'll be the one to beat the drum in future battles."

"I?"

"Yes, you are Angron's Honor Guard. As the Primarch, Angron often cannot attend to everything, and that's when you must become a qualified commander."

"In times of hardship, you must be the Rite of War, just as this piece of music symbolizes."

The Qin King Breaking the Battle Formation Music.

Rite of War!

Khârn, the Rite of War!

"For the glory of the Emperor and the Father of Night, for the great Gene-Father! I, the Rite of War, Khârn, will never fail in my mission!"

"Very good, very energetic. Well then, these Drumsticks are yours to use well."

"Yes! Father of Night!"

Han Mingxuan looked at Khârn with satisfaction.

Very good, Khârn is really good now.

Passionate and talented, skilled in both literature and martial arts.

"Angron, you have a very outstanding Scions."

Thank you for your compliment, Uncle.

"Haha, it's nothing, just telling the truth. By the way, come with me for a moment."

Angron was somewhat confused, but he still followed Han Mingxuan to a secluded corner on the Flagship.

"Uncle, is there something important you want to tell me?"

"It's not anything too important on official business; it's a personal matter."

"Personal matters?"

"Yes, I brought you a gift on this trip."

"Another gift? Uncle, you've given me and my Legion more than enough."

My own rationality, and the future of the Legion, are all thanks to my Uncle; that's more than enough.

"Hey, I can't refuse a gift from an elder, so don't you dare refuse me."

As Han Mingxuan spoke, he took out a large red gift box.

"This is?"

"Open it and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Angron opened the door, and then his expression became somewhat strange.

"Uncle, this... I'm not a child anymore, nor am I some noble lady."

"Angron, this is my first impression of you, and also my gift to you. Please accept it."

Angron found it even stranger.

Because he never expected that his Uncle's first impression of him would be... a Red Plush Teddy Bear?

Angron picked up the doll with a strange feeling.

This doll is big enough for Mortals, but just right for the Primarch.

And strangely enough, this little bear can generate heat.

"A very peculiar first impression, Uncle."

"Haha, then I'll take that as acceptance."

"Of course, Uncle, but..."

"What's wrong?"

"Don't tell the other brothers about this, okay?"

"Haha! Of course, no problem."

After their secret meeting, the uncle and nephew led Angron Han Mingxuan to the Flagship's reception room.

A grand welcome ceremony was held for him.

"Uncle, where are you planning to go next?"

"Next, I plan to go to Salamanders and see Vulkan."

Of all his nephews, who do he trust the most?

Without a doubt, it's Vulkan.

As for the reason?

Lion El'Jonson is already in his eighties, Russ is a husky.

The Great Angel was a bit cunning; Guilliman was someone he brought into the Administratum. Although he had Holiday, the kid was having a tough time, which made Han Mingxuan feel a little awkward.

Perturabo was busy dusting, Dorn couldn't speak, and Ferrus Manus spent his time discussing various issues with Fulgrim, so he didn't want to spoil the fun.

After much thought, the Salamanders is the most worry-free option.

Most importantly, Talos is in the Salamanders Legion.

That kid is incredibly shrewd.

I chose to stay in the Legion that was the most humane.

It is said that they often return home with the Salamanders warriors.

What are you going to do?

Of course, it's about getting free food and drinks.

"That's perfect. We'll be heading to a new battleground soon, where we'll meet up with the Salamanders fleet. I'll take you there then."

After several days of sailing, the World Eaters met up with the Salamanders fleet.

Han Mingxuan also successfully arrived on their Flagship.

"Long time no see, Vulkan. How have you been?"

"Everything is fine, Uncle. Why did you come to the front lines?"

Knowing the safety of one's Uncle is of paramount importance to the entire Imperium.

In addition, his Uncle's profession was that of a Schoolteacher was completely powerless.

What is he doing at the front lines? What if he encounters any danger?

"That's right. The Imperium's Anti-Corruption campaign in government affairs has now concluded. I'm here to conduct research."

"Research?"

"Yes, let's listen to the soldiers' voices, hear their opinions, and see if there's anything that needs improvement."

"Why not let Curze come? He's more suitable."

"He only established the Inquisition a few years ago, so there are some procedural aspects that he still needs to oversee. Also, now that the Inquisition has been established, the recruitment of Inquisitor needs to begin."

He's a very busy man now.

Is that how it is?

"By the way, Vulkan, where is Talos?"

Upon hearing Han Mingxuan's question, Vulkan's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Could he not be in the fleet?"

"Uh... yes, Uncle, Talos just finished his shift."

"Shift work? Is he visiting relatives? I haven't heard anything about him going back to Nostramo."

"It wasn't that he went home to visit his family; it was that the Salamanders warriors went home to visit their families and insisted on taking him along. I must say, Uncle, Talos is really popular."

"This kid just knows how to freeload," Han Mingxuan said with a smile.

"Being popular is a good thing, Uncle, but I have a request regarding the recruitment for the Inquisition."

Upon hearing the Lord of Drakes's question, Han Mingxuan already had a guess in his mind.

"Let me guess, you've got your eye on those who didn't make it to the Inquisition, haven't you?"

"Um... yes, Uncle. As things stand, the quality of Nostramo's troops is the highest in the entire Imperium of Man. Moreover, the environment and culture in which the Nostramo people live have shaped their absolute humanity, which is very important, both for the Imperium and for humanity."

"Okay, okay, I promise you, 13%, right?"

What's wrong?

"How would I know, right? You'll have to ask Horus about that," Han Mingxuan said with a smile.

It seems these brothers have all made arrangements.

"Uncle, I don't need 13%, 3% is fine. If I recruit too many, the other brothers' Legions won't have enough people."

"You finally told the truth, kid. Tell me, besides you and Horus, who else is there?"

Um... you can even get information out of this?

Well, Old ginger is spicier, there's no way around it.

"Actually, Uncle, it was an idea that all the brothers came up with together."

"So you all want Mostramo's troops?"

"Uncle, we know this is excessive, but the quality of Nostramo's troops is simply too high. However, rest assured, the supply of troops to the Eighth Legion will be given priority."

"That's not a problem. After my research is finished, you should all come to Nostramo."
