The Wolf of Fenris's Ambition (2)
"Next, I will bring a portion of the Astartes warriors from the Luna Wolves into the Imperium Civil Servant System. Meanwhile, Sejanus..."
"Exist!"
"I need you to lead the Four Kings Council, guide the remaining Astartes warriors, and bring more victories to the Imperium, conquering more worlds!"
"Yes!"
Luna Wolves's work style was concise and efficient, and Horus quickly finalized the List of those who would join him in the Civil Servant system.
Moreover, within 10 minutes of finalizing the List, Horus had already begun arranging for the fleet to return to Terra.
Once Horus's fleet left the defensive zone, Sejanus could no longer contain himself.
Is what you're doing appropriate?
"Cunning Sejanus, if we don't do this, our only option is to expose the truth about that Living Hell."
"Then the vacant positions will have to be filled by the four of us. Do you really enjoy doing government work?"
Upon hearing this, Sejanus and Loken's eyes involuntarily became bloodshot.
They even had a near-death experience, and Suan Membrane almost activated.
"And have you considered that sending Father directly into the Civil Servant System would be a salvation for our entire Legion?"
"Redemption?"
"Yes, it is salvation. Have you forgotten? Father was a staunch Great Astartes Supremacy."
"As long as his views don't change, we'll have to work day and night to serve the Imperium Civil Servant System."
"You are indeed wise, Abaddon."
After a long and arduous journey, Horus finally returned to the Imperium.
Then he saw his four brothers.
Originally, only Lion El'Jonson and Curze came to greet Horus, but when they saw that both of them had arrived, Sanguinius and Roboute couldn't resist their curiosity and followed along.
Then they saw the Wolf of Fenris.
When they saw Horus, they instantly felt that their Holiday could be longer.
Everyone's here.
"Yes, after all, we need to prepare for the next batch of members to be randomly selected for the Eleven-Choice Examination."
"Then it seems my Scions and I are among the First Batch to report," Horus said with a smile.
"You and your Scions? You're going to join the Administratum too?"
"No, Curze, to be precise, my Scions and I are to enter the Imperium's Civil Servant system."
Entering the Imperium's Civil Servant system?
Upon hearing Horus's words, Roboute and Sanguinius both thought they were dreaming.
But looking at Horus's current state, they felt it wasn't a joke.
Are you serious?
"Of course, my brothers. As the First-Returned Son, it is my duty to share the burden with our father and to lighten your load as well."
Upon hearing Horus's words, the other four were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
What are you laughing at?
Lion El'Jonson stepped forward and patted Horus on the shoulder.
"My dear brother, you are absolutely right. As the First-Returned Son, you should indeed do this!"
When Horus heard Lion El'Jonson say that, he thought he was hallucinating.
To his utter surprise, at this moment, the eldest son of the Imperium actually acknowledged his status as the First-Returned Son of the empire. Although his status First-Returned Son had always been a fact, this was the first time Lion El'Jonson had publicly acknowledged it.
Thank you for your recognition, elder brother.
"Everything is fine, Horus. The reins of the Departmento Munitorum are now in your hands."
"Of course, Horus, besides the Departmento Munitorum, there's also the Ministry of Administratum. If you want to enter the Civil Servant system, the Administratum is a link you can never bypass."
"Of course, dear Great Angel, in fact, my primary target is the Administratum."
"Don't forget my Department of Justice. The smooth operation of the Imperium Civil Servant system requires extremely strong, serious, and impartial oversight."
As he spoke, Curze handed the seal, symbolizing the authority of the Department of Justice, to Horus.
"Brothers, I..."
"Don't get excited, Horus."
"Is there anything else you need to tell me, Eight Brother?"
"It's like this, regarding the Department of General Affairs."
Are there any issues I should be aware of?
"No, Horus. I just meant that once you have control over these three departments, the Department of General Affairs will naturally fall under your jurisdiction. At that time, I hope you will treat Mortals better."
Upon hearing Curze's words, Horus laughed heartily.
"Haha! My dear brother, as great Astartes warriors, we don't bother with Mortals. Don't worry, once I enter the Imperium's Civil Servant System, I'll make sure your juniors get leave."
"Thank you very much, Old Sixteen."
"Haha! No problem, everything is negotiable!"
"Then I'll lead my Legion to the front lines first."
Sanguinius was already preparing to leave when he finished speaking, and then Lion El'Jonson, Roboute, and Curze also prepared to leave.
They took all their troops with them when they left Terra.
To others, this might seem like a stepping stone for the newcomer, but to Horus, it was a sign that his brothers completely trusted him and recognized his abilities, making room for him.
"My glorious Scions, from now on, we will bring the Imperium to its most efficient operation!"
"Yes!"
Imperium Spaceport.
The four Primarch gathered aboard the Red Tear and let out a long-suppressed, hearty laugh.
"Haha! That's great, that's really great!" Curze said with a laugh.
"Yes, yes, who would have thought Horus was such an honest man!" Roboute chimed in.
"Isn't what we're doing a little unethical?"
"You Black Sesame Tangyuan, how dare you say that's not fair? Have you lost your mind when it comes to handling government affairs?" Curze said.
"Don't worry, Sanguinius, as your brother, I will keep your secret."
"Um... thank you."
"No need for such formalities, let's set off then, first stop, Nostramo!"
"Okay!"
"Set off!"
The wonderful Holiday is finally about to begin!
Just as the brothers were preparing for their leave, their troops immediately marched to the front lines.
At this moment, none of the Xenos and Heretics clashing on the front lines of the Great Crusade could have imagined this.
The next few years will be the most painful and Despair time for them.
Because they were facing a group of incredibly powerful, Dreadnought, and fearless Space Marine who knew nothing of death or fear.
Of course, the four brothers who left Terra were very happy, but Mortarion, who was in the XIV Legion's territory, was now somewhat reluctant to see anyone.
Or rather, it's not that he doesn't want to see people, but rather that he's a little afraid to see them, mainly because his current state is rather embarrassing.
"Xiao Mo, stop being so girly and come out quickly. I've been waiting for you here for half an hour."
"Ahem, Uncle, as you know, I'm Barbarus's stinky canned food, and I need time to cleanse myself of my smell."
