Extreme Warfare

"It's been a long time, Corvus. How have you been all these years?"

"It's been a long time, Vulkan. These past years have been complicated, but it feels so good to see you again."

In comparison, their current way of getting along is much more relaxed than when they were with the Night Haunter.

The Night Haunter has a history of misconduct in this universe; both of them are loyalist brothers.

Even if they met again after ten thousand years, there would be little distance between them.

"You've met the Night Haunter, haven't you?" Corvus asked.

"Yes, I woke up on Punishment Star. He looks much more normal than before."

As he said these words, even the Lord of Drakes felt like he was dreaming; the former Night Haunter had now become normal again.

It just doesn't seem right.

"I probably know more about the Night Haunter than you do."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing what Corvus said, Vulkan's immediate reaction was that the Night Haunter was indeed faking it in front of him.

That damned traitor, he actually deceived himself with lies.

There was no way around it; the Imperium couldn't tolerate traitors, especially those who had participated in the Horus Heresy.

"It was the Resurrection Konrad who found me, and it was he who restored my sanity and my current appearance."

"What?"

Vulkan even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his hearing.

Corvus' current recovery is entirely thanks to the Night Haunter.

"Yes, I fully unleashed my Warp Essence back then, and during that time, I hunted down all traitors within the Warp."

"It wasn't until Konrad found me that I regained my senses and returned to my original self."

"And then what?"

"After that, the Night Haunter, his Prince of Crows, and I wiped out all the traitors and Chaos faction members of the Eighth Legion."

"I witnessed him eliminate all his Scions one by one, and most importantly, his father was not Emperor, but a gentleman surnamed Han."

Vulkan nodded. "I met that gentleman not long ago. If it weren't for the fact that he tore open Warp Rift with his bare hands, I would have thought he was just a Mortals."

Corvus paused, considering his wording.

"That gentleman is similar to the Emperor in some ways, yet completely different from Emperor."

What do you mean by that?

Have you ever seen Mortals can tear Warp Rift with their bare hands?

Upon Corvus this, Vulkan realized that the Emperor had indeed always claimed to be human, yet his power was evident to all.

"You mean he looks a lot like the Emperor?"

"Yes, in this respect he is very similar to the Emperor, but in his style of doing things, he is more ruthless and more extreme than the Emperor himself."

"How is this possible?"

Vulkan admitted that he was wary of the man when he first met him.

However, based solely on first impressions, when the Lord of Drakes first met Han Mingxuan, his assessment of him was that he was gentle.

"Vulkan, do you know what my first mission after recovery was?"

What is it?

"It's a war against the T'au Empire."

"T'au Empire? That's a bit of an overkill."

"No, once you know what my mission entails, you'll realize it's not a waste of your talents."

So what are your tasks?

Corvus' face paled slightly at the mention of this.

Vulkan could clearly sense the inner struggle in the other person, and even a hint of fear.

"Brother, if this is difficult for you, you can hold off on talking about it for now."

"No, Vulkan, there's still some free time at this stage. You must learn as much as possible about that gentleman."

"Once the Tyranids main fleet reaches its designated Battle Station, the Imperium of Man will be thrown into chaos, and you won't even have a chance to adapt."

"The mission that gentleman assigned me to fight against the Tai Imperium was not a conventional operation; it was to annihilate the entire T'au Empire."

"Extinction?"

Vulkan frowned, trying to make sure the other person had said something wrong.

"Yes, Vulkan, means extinction."

"Is it Exterminatus?"

It seems that this Mr. Han is not as gentle as he appears on the surface; deep down, he is just like Lion El'Jonson.

"No, it's the sun."

"Sun?"

"Yes, with Supernova explosion."

Buzz!

The Lord of Drakes never expected that the weapon his opponent would use would be this.

What exactly happened?

"At the time, I received orders to fight against the T'au Empire, the reason being to prevent the T'au Empire from harassing the human borders in the ensuing large-scale war."

"At the time, Mr. Han granted me special permission to purchase a batch of weapons, specifically a kind of Staff."

"If you've seen that gentleman, you'll know he always carries one of those Staff."

"You mean those Staff that seal an entire sun that's about to explode inside?"

"Yes." Corvus took a few deep breaths. "Do you know what that gentleman planned for all the destroyed planets?"

What is it?

Mineral resources.

"Is he insane? This is a crime!"

The Lord of Drakes does not object to the use of high-powered weapons against the Xenos.

Using Supernova directly as weapons of war is a first for the entire Imperium of Man.

The key issue isn't the use of Supernova weapons, but rather the consequences of using them.

If, after this, all relevant forces begin to use this weapon, it will be a catastrophe for the entire universe.

They want to defend the Imperium of Man and fight for more territory for Imperium of Man, but they also need to consider the future of the Imperium of Man.

It is clear that if Supernova weapons are used on a large scale, then not only will the Imperium of Man be doomed, but the entire universe will have no future.

The Lord of Drakes always believed that destruction was happening far faster than reconstruction.

This concept also makes sense in the context of the universe.

Do you know how many of these weapons that gentleman has?

How many?

A rough estimate is ten thousand.

Ten thousand!

Ten thousand suns!

"Is he planning to wipe out all civilizations that are not respectable?"

"I don't know, Vulkan. The only thing I can tell you is that the man is dangerous."

A fine layer of cold sweat had unknowingly seeped out from behind the Lord of Drakes.

"Perhaps we should keep him in check?"

What Vulkan said was not a statement, but rather a question.

"It's impossible now, Vulkan. The Necrons is his strongest ally. Believe me, if you stop that man..."

"Next, the Imperium of Man will face the Necrons."

Toothache.

Vulkan only feels a toothache right now.

"What are you planning to do next?" Corvus asked.

"I plan to meet with that gentleman again. We need a reasonable action plan for this matter; we must be responsible for the future of humanity."

"I'll go with you."

And so, the two Primarch once again embarked on their journey to the Punishment Star.

Vulkan didn't even have time to plan his own reorganization of the Legion.

Even Han Mingxuan himself didn't expect that he would be able to meet those two Primarch so soon.

However, Han Mingxuan was still very happy that the two of them could arrive so quickly.

"It seems you've mostly taken care of your own affairs. Not bad, as expected of the Primarch of the Imperium, you handle things much faster than I expected."

"Mr. Han, we need to talk." Vulkan tried to calm himself down.

"What do you intend to discuss, Lord of Drakes?"

"Regarding Corvus's execution of the T'au Empire's extermination plan, and the Supernova weapons you approved for him."

Han Mingxuan smiled and nodded. It seemed that the Lord of Drakes already knew everything. However, this was not bad.

"No problem, this is perfect timing, we can have a good talk about this topic right before the big battle begins."
