Picking on the Middle-Aged and Elderly
In contrast, Angron didn't bother arguing with Lion El'Jonson; he had more important things to do now.
"Night Haunter, don't get angry with him yet. Where is Uncle now?"
"Father is currently near the Eye of Terror, but we cannot go there yet."
Are there any other tasks here?
According to the agreement reached by the Primarch 30K era, their first task upon arrival was to find Han Mingxuan.
Han Mingxuan then took unified leadership over them.
As for the Emperor sitting on the Golden Throne, let's forget about that.
Primarch who have read 40,000 years of history simply cannot imagine it.
What would happen if the leadership of the Legion were handed over to the Emperor?
"Yes, we haven't found the key figure who won the Tyranids War yet."
"Who?"
Um... um... a younger sister?
"Younger sister?"
Angron instantly regained consciousness.
What does "sister" mean?
And why did the Night Haunter use a questioning tone when saying this?
"The specific situation is as follows..."
The Night Haunter told Angron about Xiao Ning's origins in detail, and then Angron fell silent.
"Night Haunter, do you think there's a possibility?"
What kind of possibility?
"You're too eager to bring such an unstable creation into the realm of human ethics."
"Because this creation is so similar to our origins, you've overlooked its Tyranids nature."
It would have been better if Angron hadn't said that; the moment Angron did, the Night Haunter felt a chill run down his spine.
"And what do you mean?"
"How did your Uncle solve it?"
"To be honest, Angron, Father's handling of this matter is very strange."
"Based on his way of doing things and his personality..."
"If Xiao Ning were in this state, he would definitely eliminate the other party immediately."
"The problem is that my father's attitude towards him is still acceptable, which is the main reason why I'm hesitant about Xiao Ning."
After hearing all this, Angron already knew the truth.
"She is a tool, the Night Haunter."
"From the moment Xiao Ning, whom you mentioned, displayed the Tyranids's thought process, she was merely a tool."
"This tool is extremely dangerous; it seems only your Uncle can control it."
So everything Uncle did was simply to make better use of this tool.
"So, what do you mean Angron?"
"Remain normal, pretend nothing happened. This is something only Uncle can handle."
Because of today's conversation, the Night Haunter's attitude towards Xiao Ning has changed.
Given Xiao Ning's Tyranids -like logic, she would be able to identify the possible factors in the shortest amount of time.
This would be a major blow to Uncle's plans.
"Also, we must be prepared at any time."
"You mean..." The Night Haunter made a decapitation gesture.
"Yes, but we don't have enough strength right now. We'll discuss it again after the other brothers arrive."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
The Imperial Fists, responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, has located Xiao Ning.
"Imperial Fists Phalanx reports: The vast majority of the Tyranids's high-tier units have been eliminated."
"The human individual mentioned in the mission briefing has been located. Please provide further instructions."
It's like speaking of the Cao Cao Cao appears.
He had just finished discussing Xiao Ning's solution with Angron when Imperial Fists already had news.
"Take her to the Nightfall, and I'll handle the rest."
However, Imperial Fists did not respond to the order to take people to the Nightfall until Lion's voice came through the communication channel.
"Listen to him."
The Night Haunter turned to look at Angron, and waved his hand helplessly.
Angron patted the other person on the shoulder, indicating his understanding.
In the original history, neither of them had a good reputation.
Even if they were just fighting side by side, given the extent of the Imperium's obsession in this era...
The fact that the two of them are even standing here now is already a testament to each other's generosity.
But the Night Haunter is no pushover.
Although he had a notorious past, it doesn't mean he's become mild-mannered after turning over a new leaf.
Whether the Night Haunter betrays or returns, he is the same in essence.
There won't be any melodramatic plot points like someone becoming ten times stronger after turning evil and then becoming three times weaker after turning good.
Whether it's temperament, personality, or ability, they're all the same.
"What an air of importance, Warmaster- Chief."
"That's enough, Konrad!"
"You old Lion, you just called me a traitor, and now you're giving me orders?"
"You truly live up to your reputation as the Emperor's eldest son, Lion El'Jonson."
"This practice of summoning and dismissing people at will is like how the Emperor treated Horus."
"Poor Imperium Warmaster, he's been completely fooled by that bastard, the Huangpizi."
"But I'm not someone you, Warmaster of the Imperium Secundus, can fool."
"Come out here, let's fight!"
Konrad was a madman; his madness was never cured!
Imperium Secundus.
Is this something that can be talked about?
Fortunately, when communicating with Konrad, Lion El'Jonson chose to cut off other communications.
Otherwise, he would be the first to be Investigation by the Inquisition at this point.
"Oh, oh, oh, why are you in such a hurry? As Warmaster of the Imperium, you have no composure at all."
Night Haunter, keep your mouth shut.
"Go to hell, Horus's hand-pounded meat sauce!"
"I just finished fighting the Tyranids with your men, and you weren't the ones who called me a traitor when he did!"
"Trying to play the good guy now? Too late!"
"I haven't even mentioned you, the emperor of the Imperium Secundus."
"This damned world, you don't even trust your own allies who have just risked their lives for you."
"They deserve to die!"
Seeing the Night Haunter's reaction, and recalling his own experiences in the Webway...
Angron didn't try to stop him, because he empathized with him.
"You think you have the right to insult me? Let me tell you El'Jonson!"
"Without my father, the Imperium of Man of today is nothing!"
"You dare to talk to me like that? What right do you have?!"
After Angron arrived, the Night Haunter also let loose.
Unfortunately, before the Primarch from the 30K era arrived, the Night Haunter had virtually no reinforcements here.
Because all his reinforcements were traitors to the Imperium.
But things are different now.
Angron arrived; at least he had some help.
Moreover, the Eighth Legion's performance in the Tyranids Wars was already evident to all.
It's impossible for Vulkan to make a move, and it's impossible for Corvus to either.
Because of his own transformation within the Warp, Corvus saw it most clearly.
So Corvus also understands that he is currently angry with Lion El'Jonson.
As for Sanguinius?
The phrase "Emperor of the Imperium Secundus" was enough to put him in his place.
Swish!
"Careful!"
Just as the Night Haunter was plotting how to teach Lion El'Jonson a lesson...
A thick fog suddenly rose aboard the Nightfall.
"You foul-mouthed lunatic, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
In the thick fog, only Lion El'Jonson's voice could reach their ears, but where was Lion El'Jonson himself? They couldn't see him.
Normally, this tactic of Lion El'Jonson's would definitely work, but it didn't work now.
"So what if you've awakened to the Warp Essence? Look behind you."
Lion El'Jonson whirled around in the thick fog and saw the Night Haunter standing there with a half-smile on his face.
"Calm down, Lion El'Jonson. Even back in your 30K era, you were still rational, despite your fiery temper."
He wouldn't act as impulsively as you are now.
When?
Lion El'Jonson didn't even notice when Angron appeared beside him.
"You come from that world; you haven't experienced the devastating betrayal of this world."
You simply don't understand...
Boom!
Before Lion El'Jonson could finish his sentence, he was sent flying by Angron's impact.
"I'm actually starting to understand Khârn a little better now. You really deserved to be hit!"
"You..."
Bang!
The Night Haunter kicks a soccer ball, resulting in physical silence.
"Looks like your temper needs some physical correction, old Lion."
