Chapter 356: Meeting on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
If Lion's Jonson is a barbarian masquerading as a civilized man, then Leman Russ is a clever little guy who is willing to be a barbarian.
Since returning to the Legion, Leman Russ has been aware of the problems within the Empire and has always been outside the center of the Empire, completely obeying the orders of the Emperor and ignoring those mortal politicians.
A veritable military police corps, the Space Wolves have been doing all kinds of dirty work for the Emperor and completing their tasks perfectly every time.
Unlike the First Legion which is full of little secrets, when a rebellion breaks out on your planet, you might be able to survive if you encounter the Dark Angels, but if they are the Space Wolves, you'd better pray to be more careful in your next life!
Similarly, the character of its Primarch can be slowly revealed from the Legion's style of doing things. Leman Russ is such a true loyal dog who doesn't care at all about the outside world's evaluation of him.
Looking at the strange creature sitting at the dining table, looking at the plate with a confused look on its face, Leman Russ' heart trembled. He always felt like he was looking in the mirror and had an inexplicable liking for it.
But after seeing the layer of living skin that was like oil on the person in front of him, Leman Russ still became alert and did not let her out of his sight. Instead, he and Mortarion kept a close eye on her.
"What's your name? Where are you from? What are you doing here?" Like interrogating a prisoner, Leman Russ directly threw out three questions and began his not-so-strict interrogation.
Hearing the Wolf King's question, Gloria had a blank expression on her face. She looked at the sloppily painted Leman Russ in front of her with a look of idiocy and said sarcastically:
"Are you blind? Didn't you see my name printed on that culture tank? My name is Gloria, and I am a legitimate descendant of a god.
God knows how I got here. Do you think I wanted to come to this damn place? I opened my eyes and saw a thing like you. I can't tell you how unlucky it is.
If you know what's best for you, hurry up and treat me with something good, or else when my father comes, you'll be in big trouble!"
"Ah this!"
Without asking, Leman Russ knew who this man's father was. With such a unique painting style, there was probably no one else except his dwarf brother.
And that was indeed the case. Mortarion brought over the culture tank that had nearly ripped him apart, pointed to the small words under the Blackwatch logo and read:
"To my powerful and soon-to-be-born offspring, Gloria, father will love you forever! - Hogmenethil."
"Did you see it? Such ugly handwriting is definitely my brother's. No one else can forge it. Why are you still worried?
As long as we can contact Big Brother, that fat guy behind us won't be a problem. Why don't you quickly get your group of Storm Prophets to work? Isn't psychic power the most magical thing?"
Before Leman Russ could retort that his own psyker was called Rune Priest, not the Khan's Storm Prophet, Mortarion was knocked down by Gloria with a punch, and the culture tank with Hogg's blessing was taken back from him.
Mortarion was very confused after being punched in vain, thinking that he didn't provoke you, why did you hit me when you could just beat Russ, and he did ask:
"Why did you hit me?"
"What are you doing?" Gloria clenched her fists while wiping the culture tank. The living skin on her body moved upwards and merged into a biological cannon, aiming at the stinky boy and yelling:
"It is rude to insult a son's father. How dare you say my father's handwriting is ugly? You are lucky that I didn't collapse in one blow. You even dare to ask me why I beat you up. I am so unlucky to have an uncle like you."
After hearing this, the two of them finally understood that Gloria was a naughty child, and just like Bald Ogryn, she was completely obsessed with her father. In her eyes, everything about Hogg was good, the only thing missing was a centaur ring.
When Leman Russ thought about how Hogg, a father who was kind to his son, could produce such a filial offspring, he blamed God for being unfair. He was really blind. It would be great if he had such an offspring. Through the resource package that Hogg had instilled into her mind, combined with the information from her two uncles, Gloria had already understood their current situation. They were basically a group of thieves who were caught stealing and were hunted down.
The one chasing them might be one of the most terrifying people in the world. Facing such a dangerous situation right after birth, Goliath was panicking inside, but she still pretended to be calm and asked:
"What Ogryn said is right. You stupid dog Ogryn, why don't you let the Storm Prophet contact my father? With my father here, we will be safe!"
Putting aside why Gloria called herself "Silly Dog Ogryn" as soon as she was born, Leman Russ also knew that calling for help was the best option, but if he could have called, he would have called earlier. The problem now was that the psychic message could not be transmitted at all.
With the evil god as a powerful source of pollution, as soon as the psychic uses his psychic power, he will be immediately corrupted by the evil god on the spot, and there is no way to save him. And most importantly:
"You two bastards, how many times have I told you that the Space Wolves' psychic think tank is called a Rune Priest, not some damn Storm Prophet!"
"Tsk, I knew psychic magic was unreliable" x2
Since psychics are unreliable, Goliath, as a descendant of Hogg, immediately thought of psionic powers, but she was interrupted by Mortarion before she could finish:
"Don't even think about it. The Kara network must transmit signals via base stations. Although I don't know how many years have passed since you came here, I can tell you clearly that there are no Nila base stations in the subspace."
After being reminded by Mortarion, Gloria felt hopeless, thinking to herself, am I going to be buried in this cesspool when I haven't even met my father?
Just like Warmaster Horus and the Emperor, in order to return to her father, Goliath immediately started using her little brain to find a way out of the situation from the information that Hogg had instilled in her.
Perhaps it was the first time that a Primarch was created. Hogg did not stop when instilling information, and stuffed all kinds of random things into it, even some tricks for getting points in games.
【Playing games, yes! 】
Gloria, who discovered the blind spot, slapped the table and said to Mortarion:
"No, there is still a Niraki station in the subspace. Through the information instilled by my father, I found that he often played games with a subspace creature called a dog-headed man. Since this dog-headed man is in the subspace, there must be a Kara network signal around him.
As long as we find that dog-headed man, we can pass the message through Kara and ask father to bring enough troops to rescue us!"
Gloria, who was feeling proud of her idea, discovered that Leman Russ and Mortarion were not excited about finding a way out, but were instead troubled. In the end, the Wolf King explained the reason:
"Goliath, there's no need to look for that dog-headed man. We all know who he is and where he is now."
"Him?"
"That's right!" Mortarion took over the conversation and ordered through the internal communication: "All fleets turn around, engines at full power, target Khorne."
Gloria stood up immediately after hearing the order. Now she finally knew who the Kobold was, but she still didn't understand why Mortarion wanted to die. She said in panic:
"No, we can still think of another way! What's the difference between going there and committing suicide?"
Looking at the young man in front of him who was finally no longer strong and calm, Mortarion did not blame her for her recklessness. He comforted her with panda eyes:
"Little guy, since Hogg has given you the power, let us two elders fill in the gap for you! Facing the enemy, we only have one choice."
Leman Russ laughed: "When two meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!"
