The Dark Angels Hit the Jackpot

Upon hearing Lion El'Jonson's words, the Night Haunter was instantly displeased. This damned old Lion, he still wouldn't behave after being beaten up.

"The Night Haunter is an excellent person; he just needs some guidance and an opportunity to reform himself."

"He's doing well now, isn't he?"

Lion El'Jonson remained silent, waiting for Han Mingxuan to continue, but Han Mingxuan did not.

It was obvious that the father and son were trying to leave themselves hanging there.

And so, the father and son remained in a silent standoff with Lion El'Jonson for five minutes.

"Father of Night, with a formidable enemy at hand, let's put aside personal grudges for now."

Han Mingxuan smiled and shook his head.

"Lion, you misunderstand. We have no personal grudges between us. If there's any personal grudge, it's just a disagreement between you two brothers."

"The reason I haven't spoken for so long is simply because I'm quite old and my memory isn't very good."

"Don't let my youthful appearance fool you; it's because the Emperor performed the Perpetual surgery on me."

Artificial Perpetual.

Lion El'Jonson never expected the Father of Night to suffer such a fate.

"Alright, I remember now. I have a detailed plan here regarding the First Legion's combat mission arrangements. You can take a look, and we can continue to discuss any questions."

As he spoke, Han Mingxuan took out a battle plan.

The description above looks complicated, but it can actually be summed up in one sentence.

"You want me to lead my Scions in a suicide attack using the Rock?"

"No, no, no, Lion, you're mistaken again. It's not a suicidal attack, but a reckless charge."

"Is there a difference between the two, Father of Night?"

Caliban is down to its last piece; if another suicide attack is launched, Caliban will truly be wiped out.

"Therefore, the Punishment Star will provide you with firepower support."

"Accepting support from a traitor is against my principles."

"If it were truly unreasonable, you wouldn't have come here in the first place, Lion. It's clear you've witnessed the changes in the Imperium of Man, and you want to know the root cause of those changes."

"Since you've come here, that's enough proof that you've accepted this change, am I right?"

Lion El'Jonson felt helpless listening to Han Mingxuan's words.

He didn't want to accept it, but he had to.

Just like he had told Sanguinius back in Terra.

If the affairs of the Imperium of Man have to be handled by Daemon, then the Imperium of Man is doomed.

And that is indeed the case.

The Daemon leader has become the Imperium Chancellor; to say that humanity's future is bleak is an auspicious statement.

"So what kind of support can the Punishment Star provide to the First Legion?"

"It depends on your determination, Lion. Your determination is of utmost importance."

"From the Age of Great Crusade onward, I am willing to dedicate everything to humanity."

"Even in these Despair and dark times, it is my responsibility as the Primarch."

Han Mingxuan nodded in satisfaction. Although the old man was old, he was still an old man, and possessing the abilities of a madman was enough.

Do you know what Supernova explosion is?

Supernova explosion?

"Of course I know, but is there any necessary connection between this and the support that Punishment Star will provide to the First Legion next?"

"Of course, Lion, because Punishment Star can provide you is an impending Supernova."

???

"What?"

"An impending Supernova, which is the sun that's about to explode. I don't know if you understand what I mean by that?"

"Are you crazy?"

"The actual situation is this: I have already sent Corvus and his men to the T'au Empire with a portion of the Supernova weapons."

"But we have limited manpower right now."

"Corvus is responsible for the T'au Empire, Sanguinius is responsible for guarding against the main Tyranids fleet."

"The Eighth Legion is currently preparing for battle, keeping an eye not only on the Warp but also on any Aeldari have escaped."

"So after much deliberation, I've finally decided that the Orks Front should be handled by the First Legion."

"However, the Orks have their own unique characteristics, so simple Supernova weapons are not enough."

"To effectively kill the Orks, both the weapons and the terrain need to be large and powerful enough."

"The Rock loaded with a certain number of Supernova weapons would be just right."

"I have only one operational instruction for the First Legion: have the relevant Imperium of Man forces fight and retreat, while the First Legion completely takes over the Orks battlefield."

"If it's Planet already under Orks control, send the Rock over there and blow Planet up."

Lion El'Jonson was silent for a moment, then turned and looked around.

"Urtana, find a chair for the Lion."

The Lion sat down and rested for a while.

He finally understood why the Night Haunter seemed so normal; the so-called father the Night Haunter spoke of was far more insane than the Night Haunter himself.

"Father of Night, this isn't a battle plan; you're going to blow the entire Imperium of Man to smithereens."

"If the Inquisitors can burn the planetary belts they pass through to glass to prevent the Tyranids from doing so, so can I."

"Besides, I'm only asking you to blow up Planet that the Orks taken over. How much value do you think Planet Orks has to us?"

"What good would it do us if we blew up that Planet?"

"Mineral resources, extremely abundant mineral resources, especially various non-renewable minerals found on the Planet."

"As an aside, I have the complete production technology for the Gloriana-class Battleship. With enough resources, it's not impossible to recreate the glory of the Great Crusade era."

"The First Legion will have priority in rationing."

After Han Mingxuan finished speaking, he began drinking tea and chatting with the Night Haunter.

The Lion himself was pondering the feasibility of this approach.

The Lion now feels that compared to his younger self, the Father of Night, he was simply a Recruits, a pure and simple mild-mannered type.

Bombing planets with Stars is purely for the purpose of obtaining mineral resources.

This is no longer a fight; this is a crime.

But on second thought, given the current complex situation, a swift and decisive approach might be the best solution.

Moreover, after the Horus Heresy, the Imperium of Man indeed had very few resources at its disposal.

The production method for the Gloriana-class Battleships has been completely lost.

That's the Gloriana-class Battleship.

Moreover, if this job goes through, the First Legion will have priority in receiving supplies.

That's it.

Anyway, it was the Father of Night who gave the order; I'm just a tool, all I need to do is carry it out.

"Leave the Orks to the First Legion. Now I need to see what kind of firepower support the Punishment Stars can provide."

"No problem, just go with Urtana to collect it. By the way, when your Legion sets off, a group of young people will travel with you, so don't be xenophobic."

Lion El'Jonson said nothing about this, because in his view it was just normal supervision.

Compared to the Decimation rate, this method is already considered very mild, even merciful.

As for xenophobia...

Let those young people figure out the Inner Circle first.

However, when Lion El'Jonson actually met that group of young people...

He will then realize just how miserable his past life truly was.
