Chapter 59: Nakre, you don’t have much time left.

There is no doubt that every legion longs for its own gene-father. Only the legion with the return of the Primarch can be called a complete legion.

But for the Death Guard, the return of the Primarch can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.

Don't think that the Dusk Raiders were transformed into Death Guard during the grand ceremony just now. This was all because of the presence of the Emperor and Hogg.

After all, this group of veterans from Terra have experienced countless wars and have followed the Emperor in his conquests during the Great Crusade. They can often see the Lord of Humanity for whom they are fighting.

As a Space Marine Legion frequently commanded by the Emperor, the Dusk Raiders have an outstanding record and have won too many honors. Some of their warriors have even experienced nearly a hundred years of war and had already followed in the Emperor's footsteps when he recaptured Terra.

Therefore, they who have always been bathed in the glory of the Emperor, feel that it doesn't matter if they don't have a Primarch. Some extreme warriors even think that they can be better without a Primarch.

And the Primarch is just their genetic father to them. Even if the desire they feel is real, it doesn't mean they can accept him. He is just a small-time rogue boss.

Only when Mortarion truly subdues them will the Dusk Raiders truly become Death Guard and become the sharp scythe in his hand.

This was a reaction of some of the Legion's veterans to the return of their Primarch.

The other is like Perturabo's Iron Warriors and Angron's War Hounds, who have unconditional trust in the Primarch of their Legion.

This is also the reason why, even if Mr. Krabs kills his own offspring with eleven draws and War Dog volunteers to be nailed with the Butcher's Nails, such strange operations still occur.

Of course, Blackwatch is special. This group of slackers has been slacking off during the Great Crusade. Although they are not weak due to Hogg's "Outlander Wanderer", they have fought many tough battles.

With such excellent combat talents as rapid regeneration and subspace resistance, they are instead interested in picking up trash and transporting supplies.

Therefore, even though most of the legions are familiar with them, for the legionnaires who live for achievements and glory, these little cousins ​​who like to run around everywhere and have dirty hands are not popular.

This made Hogg doubt whether they were his own cubs. After all, he considered himself to be extremely brave, gentle and easy-going.

Therefore, when the Black Watch welcomed the return of their Primarch, they did not show any dissatisfaction and rolled smoothly to Hogg's feet, but at the same time they were afraid that Hogg would not want them.

And now the newly returned Mortarion is facing this problem, but he is not fighting alone.

Hogg had anticipated this situation and had given him a heads-up in advance, asking the Black Watch soldiers to play the role of the 14th Legion, so that Mortarion could get familiar with the operation in a hands-on way.

The Blackwatch soldiers lived up to expectations and made things difficult for him, which gave Mortarion ample contingency plans.

At the same time, Hogg also helped the little brother who had little social experience to improve his acting skills. If his performance was not up to standard, he would not be allowed to eat. He successfully allowed Mortarion to pretend to be a qualified Primarch.

After all, without the experience of building a team in Barbarus and fighting his alien adoptive father for several years, the young Mortarion really could not subdue those Terra veterans.

Feeling that his brother was really helpful and had prepared everything for him, Mortarion began his performance in the next few days.

"Father? Father! Are you listening?"

"Yeah, I heard it, but I was just thinking, well done Galo."

On the first day of returning to the Legion, Mortarion redistributed the Space Marines within the Legion, dividing the entire Legion into seven large companies, and was selecting new company commanders in the past few days. He could clearly feel that most of the veterans were watching him, but so was he.

Mortarion looked at the legion report in his hand. It was full of the names of Terran veterans, and the seven company commander candidates were all the names of former company commanders.

This is a test for themselves, they just want to see if they can control the Death Guard.

Mortarion directly picked up the feather pen and crossed out five names, keeping only two relatively honest people, and the rest were directly assigned to the assault company.

As the saying goes, a kind person cannot command an army. Mortarion is not a pedantic person. He gave these troublemakers a chance. As long as they bow to him, they can still become company captains.

If they do not cherish this opportunity, they will have to enter the most brutal battlefield and make their final contribution to the legion.

At the same time, Mortarion also found several young men within the legion to serve as new captains, and gathered the best of them to form his own Primarch Guard, which he had already named the Death Shroud.

Faced with the return of the Primarch, Garro, the youngest and least experienced, was chosen to contact Mortarion. The good news was that from what he had observed the Primarch was very capable, the bad news was that he was a bit too skilled.

In this regard, Garro believes that this must be the power of the Emperor. According to the information, Mortarion had been imprisoned by the aliens and had just escaped.

It was impossible for him to have access to so much information during this period, nor was it possible for him to know so much about the Legion's tricks, so this must have been taught to him by the Emperor.

At the ceremony, the Emperor fully demonstrated how much he valued his offspring. In addition, the Black Watch that had been gathering next to the Endurance in the past few days also showed Hogg's support for his brothers.

Garro felt that it was time to let Mortarion know his purpose. He did not want the Primarch to be suspicious of him in the future. After all, Mortarion had just eliminated all the candidates.

Tagalo can be sacrificed for the empire, but he should not be treated as a filler and become a meaningless consumable.

"Father, I have something to tell you, I..."

Mortarion interrupted Garro and handed him the signed form, among which the captain of the Seventh Company had not yet been determined.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Garo realized that his previous attempts were meaningless, as the Primarch had already seen through their little moves.

Just when he was about to sweat from nervousness, Mortarion handed him a quill. Then came the Primarch's sincere words:
"Sign your name, Jialuo. You are a loyal person, but I hope your loyalty is to me. I am very satisfied to have you by my side these days.

I don't care about their little tricks, it's meaningless, I just want to control my legion as soon as possible, after all, I still have a revenge to solve, make your choice my heir. "

A feeling of shame surged in Garo's heart. He understood that the tricks of others were meaningless. Even though they had become superhumans after the transformation, they were still just playful children in front of the original body.

Picking up the feather pen, Jialuo signed his name on the document and became the company commander of the 7th Company.

He respectfully called Mortarion "Father."

Having taken complete control of the Legion, Mortarion was unwilling to wait any longer; today he was going to launch his revenge.

　A girl asked me to go hiking, but she was so slow! Oh, I hope we can reach the top of the mountain before noon.
