Warmaster (1)

"Of course I'm sure!"

What guarantees do you have?

"I'm the most waaagh-worthy Gretchin of the Blood Axes! Isn't that enough?!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Steeltoof stepped forward.

"That Gretchin is right, those canned goods are really waaagh!"

Um?

Ulg initially thought it was just a Gretchin exaggerating, but with the appearance of this Orks the Boss, everything changed.

First of all, this guy who suddenly appeared is Orks.

Strong and powerful!

Most importantly, it has many large teeth, and in addition, the two largest teeth in its mouth are inlaid with metal.

What's your name?

"I have Steeltoof!"

Steeltoof?

Looks like he's an Orks the Boss.

Generally, only the strongest and most powerful Orks will have their underlings give them a prestigious nickname.

As for Ulg himself, he is the Overlord of Ullanor!

Then, Ulg fell into deep thought.

But after thinking for a second, Ulg immediately decided to start a big Waaaagh!

What is the purpose of the Orks's existence?

Of course, it's for Waaaagh!

Why is the Orks Waaaagh!?

Because we need to live!

This is what Orks looks like!

Even without those two guys, the Orks would still be Waaaagh.

However, this is now a huge Waaagh!

At the same time that the Orks were organizing this Great Waaagh, a fierce dispute was also taking place in Nostramo.

Nostramo, the Sleepless Night Tavern.

"Ollanius Persson."

"Neoth, you're here again. If I remember correctly, it's been less than ten years since we last sat here drinking and chatting together."

This time is different.

"It's definitely different. Compared to the time we parted ways because of our differing views, your humanity is much more abundant."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor fell silent for a moment, or rather, he found it difficult to remain composed.

Only he himself knows best where his humanity came from.

"I want to see Old Han one last time."

"At last?"

Ollanius Persson's expression turned strange; he didn't understand what those words meant.

"Yes, regarding the next steps..."

"Are you trying to push Old Han into the abyss again? You reckless bastard!"

"Old Han agreed."

Oll Persson didn't say anything; he just drank glass after glass.

"You... Old Han is always like this. He's an idealist, a messianic idealist at that. You took advantage of him."

"Ollanius Persson, I have no other choice. Humanity only has one chance to revive."

Silence, a long silence.

Not only was Oll Persson silent, but the entire tavern fell silent.

What do you want?

"I will become his Warmaster."

Bang!

The tray fell to the ground.

Wine glasses and wine were spilled everywhere.

"You're a thief," Xiulikas said.

He is Fate’s Assassin; whenever he draws his knife, he can see the subtle flow of destiny.

When the Emperor uttered those words, his eyes changed.

That was a change in the Humanity's Fate.

From the moment the Emperor made that decision, the part of Han Mingxuan that represented the hope for Humanity's Fate began to diverge.

"You and I both know what the Warmaster means. You're trying to kill him by doing this," Oll Persson said.

"That person won't allow anything to happen to him."

"Oll Persson, don't agree to him. If we do, we'll have no idea what will happen next."

"I..."

Swish...

Before Oll Persson could finish speaking, Xiulikas's dagger was already pressed against the carotid artery of both men.

"Don't take any chances; this is Ritual Dagger specifically designed for Perpetual."

"I have a plan," the Emperor said.

"Neoth, your plan is to push Mr. Han into the abyss, which is not a good thing for either us or humanity."

"No, Licas, we don't have much time left, so I have to do this."

"You'd better explain yourself, or I'll kill you right now."

The Emperor pondered for a moment and then gave his answer.

"Since Old Han appeared, humanity's fate has taken an incredibly bright turn. However, his lifespan is limited, and due to reasons we all know, Old Han's ultimate fate is simply to die of old age."

"But Old Han is just a Mortals. Even with the technology of the Dark Age of Technology, without affecting his genes, the best-case scenario is that he can live for ten thousand years."

"Then what."

"Regarding Old Han, we absolutely cannot take any risks; we need to plan conservatively."

"Your so-called conservative plan is to throw him into the abyss, and then, using the title of Warmaster, steal his Power of Fate?"

"It wasn't stealing, it was borrowing."

"Is there a difference?!"

The Emperor fell silent.

"Alright, Licas, the plan has begun. For the sake of Earth, for the fate of humanity, we must do this."

Um?

This sound is...

"Klein? You've finally decided to show yourself?" Xiulikas looked at him.

"Did He send you?" the Emperor asked.

"He was prepared, so I was released, our plan proceeded as scheduled, and then, prepare to face Despair."

You're gambling!

"Licas, for the sake of our shared planet, we must do this."

"Snort!"

Licas didn't say anything, he just sat to the side and kept drinking in silence.

Ultimately, Oll Persson agreed to the Emperor's request and planned to go with him to see Han Mingxuan one last time.

Meanwhile, Klein and Xiulikas also went along.

No one knows what Xiulikas went to do.

This Assassin, standing beside fate, is the most mysterious person besides Klein; even Oll Persson knows very little about him.

Their arrival sent shockwaves through the entire Great Crusade front.

Putting aside other matters, the Father of Night mobilized six Legions in preparation for the war against Ullanor.

This isn't about defeating the Orks; it's about wiping them out completely.

To my utter surprise, the Emperor himself has now arrived.

This is truly unbelievable.

Almost at that moment, all the top executives realized one thing.

If this battle can be won, then the Great Crusade will enter a new phase, and the Imperium of Man will reach a new level.

"That's strange, what brings you two together? And who is this person next to you?"

"Klein, leader of the Human Mystery Cult, pays homage to the great Father of Night."

Human Mystery Cult?

How much contact have you had with the Alpha Legion?

In the Original Canon, A Fa was involved with Human Mystery Cult.

"We did have that idea at first, but after seeing the New Nostramo, all of that vanished."

Is that so?

"Okay, then, welcome home."

"..."

Silence fell over everyone when Han Mingxuan's name was mentioned.

Even Klein felt a lump in his throat.

Thank you, sir, thank you very much.

You're too kind.

"By the way, is there something important you need here?"

"Regarding the Ullanor Crusade, Old Han."

"What's wrong?"

"I will become your Warmaster."
