"The Horus sisters... brothers?"
Chapter 273 He rose from the throne
Horus sisters... brothers...
Horus sisters... brothers...
Horus sisters... brothers...
Upon hearing the call from Vaucan, San Giuliano froze, seemingly at a loss for what to do.
Ahhhhh!
Even though he was just standing there, the Horus soul within San Gileno had already begun to howl wildly.
How could this be?!
Enraged, his gaze swiftly shifted from Vokhan to Kasgar, who was battling a beast.
Didn't we agree that no one would break in?
Kasgar also expressed his innocence in this matter—who knew that Volkan would actually be able to lead his legions to the battlefield within the time frame after the start of the war?
Who could have predicted this?
【but】
This stroke of luck vanished without a trace when Casca's gaze once again drifted toward Vokan's side.
It wasn't just Wokan who knew his pseudonym.
When he pushed open the door and came in, he was accompanied by the Primarch's personal guard dressed as Saturn Terminator!
The Saturn Terminators exchanged bewildered glances, seemingly puzzled as to why the Primarch, returning after ten thousand years, addressed Saint Gillenor with the words "Horus."
Of course, Horus still harbored a glimmer of hope.
Maybe, maybe they didn't hear it?
They...did they all hear that too?
Could it be that these fire lizards will pass this news on to the Holy Blood Angels after they find out about it?
What if... what if those Blood Angels found out that Saint Gillenor, who had been playing the role of their mother all along, was actually Horus...
It’s over.
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
"Greetings, Primarch Vokhan of the Salamanders, I am Saint Gilles, the Guardian of the Holy Blood Angels."
A calm expression returned to her face. She glanced at the orc corpse lying in front of her and smiled as she spoke to Volkan.
No!
Even if it's a difficult cover-up, we must persist in keeping it hidden!
However, it was clear that there were still four orcs fighting fiercely inside the orc hall, and they would not easily let Horus seize the position of Warmaster of Digo.
"Waaaaagh! Big brother!!!"
"Winged Shrimp!! You actually killed Big Brother!! Waaaaagh!"
Upon seeing another beast fall, the other orc boy, who was fiercely fighting Horus on the field, rose again and roared!
Do not!
We absolutely cannot allow this androgynous, half-beast Skull to become the most Waaaaagh, most golden, and most half-beast Skull kid in the Emperor's world!
Only they, the beasts, can receive this honor, and only they, the beasts!
"Brother Di! Give me even greater and stronger power!!! I want to prove that I'm your best kid!!!"
After his teammate died, the orc emitted an even stronger golden light—he desperately wanted to use all his strength to crush the inexplicably powerful winged golden shrimp.
With such immense power, if San Giuliano were truly just impersonating San Giuliano, she would have absolutely no chance of blocking this attack!
"careful!"
"Casca, who was fighting on the sidelines, is fanning the flames," he said, "no, I mean, reminding you."
"Holy San Gigliotti, now is not the time to hesitate!"
“Every second we hold out here will result in the deaths of countless Imperial Navy soldiers. You must make a decision!”
The pressure was once again on Horus's head.
"......good!"
Without further hesitation, and without further ado, San Giuliano has now been completely thrown away!
Since it's already been leaked, let the storm rage on!
Teeth!!!
San Giuliano even abandoned the golden spear in her hand, and her voice became deep and resonant, almost like a man's.
"Thoughts of the Emperor's Fist, thoughts flowing like a spring!"
"The Emperor's Sword, I will never forget it!"
"May the Emperor's Palm grant you eternal life!"
"Emperor! Emperor Emperor Emperor! Emperor Emperor Emperor Emperor!"
Bang! Crack! Bang! Boom!
"Ugh—I didn't win..."
"Brother Di... how could Brother Di possibly care about a kid like you..."
“I acknowledge it… your affection for Brother Di surpasses ours….”
"Brother Di..."
The golden light that filled the sky swallowed everything in everyone's eyes.
......
Vokhan was thrown into chaos.
What is he here for?
Support, perhaps it's support.
He wasn't quite sure that what he had seen and heard just now was far beyond human comprehension.
If the Primarch is also considered human.
"My lord, the orcs are in chaos; they are attacking each other."
The naval crisis has been averted; our warships are methodically crushing all remaining orc remnants in the area.
A joyful voice came from the Salamander Chapter Leader, who was stationed on the flagship, through the communication system of Volkan.
【grown ups......? 】
"Huh? The orcs have all fallen?"
Wokan, realizing what was happening, looked in front of him.
There, the five golden orcs, whose armor was originally as large as small mountains, were shattered by Saint Gileno alone.
Not only were their armor shattered... but even these invulnerable, incredibly resilient beasts actually lost their breath under the opponent's strange attack.
Even as these beastmen died, they all wore smiles of approval and satisfaction.
"Is it over? Okay."
"Notify the Salamander Fleet to merge with the Human Expeditionary Fleet. I'll be there right away."
"It's so good to see you all again, Kasgar, Fugrim, Mortalian, my brothers and sisters—and of course—"
No more.
When Volkan looked at the pile of beast carcasses in the arena, apart from the lingering golden light and the five orc corpses, only the sunlight filtering through the gap created when the angel descended from the sky shone on the beast corpses.
As for the golden angel—
They've already slipped away.
Why aren't you running away? Are you waiting for Wokan to expose your true identity to your face?
San Gileno, of course, the San Gileno that Volkan could recognize as Horus at a glance, had already vanished without a trace before they could even react.
Have they won?
This is a victory, right?
Yes, that should be correct.
As an honest man, Wokan was once again deeply shocked.
......
The war of beasts came to an end with everyone remaining silent about the outcome.
No one knows what happened behind that patched door hastily pieced together by the orcs, nor is anyone able to recount what they saw and heard behind that door to the curious mortal warriors and reporters.
Even those who were able to enter the orc palace as salamander guards alongside Volkan remained tight-lipped about what exactly happened there, how the Sun Lord, the Imperial Warmaster, and Mortarian, who had returned as a loyalist, dealt with those five enormous beasts...
But no matter what, the final result is always good.
With the help of Volkan and his provisional salamander legion and the Space Wolves Chapter, the orc offensive, which had initially been overwhelming, was held back by fresh reinforcements until the beasts were finally annihilated.
After losing the Waaaaagh! Force Field, the orcs suffered a morale collapse, scattered and fled, and began fighting amongst themselves.
The orcs, now reduced to scattered, disorganized troops, were clearly no match for the well-trained human imperial forces. Under the combined attack of numerous human fleets, the orc ships, which had initially held the upper hand in the battle, now became easy targets for the human fleet.
While the Mountain Array was still radiating countless lights and torpedoes overhead, clearing out the scattered and fleeing orc fleet was already garbage time in this war of beasts.
In particular, clearing away the environment left behind by the orcs is no easy task.
Fortunately, this is exactly what the fire salamanders excel at—their extensive fire-breathing weapons can quickly melt down the mountains of orc corpses and also eliminate all the spores they release after death.
In addition, their experience fighting orc aliens in battles proved useful in the post-battle cleanup against these fearless spore creatures.
“Amagidon (Ulanor) will take much longer to recover and become a habitable planet. The number of orc spores on it is so great that it terrifies me.”
Vokan's takeover of the post-disaster work greatly relieved the current workload in Casca.
Loriman is currently imprisoned in Holy Terra by the Imperial Guard. The Sisters of Silent and the Ultramarines are responsible for guarding her—as the Emperor's doorstep, it's unlikely that anything foolish enough to dare to cause trouble for Guilliman.
She was indeed able to help Casca with domestic affairs.
But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst—while they were on their expedition to Ulanor, the interstellar communications system continued to report on the survival status of humans in the surrounding star systems, and the Sun Lord and the Warmaster of the Fugrim Empire continued to work on resolving the issue.
Especially in the surrounding star systems, most of them were paralyzed or even wiped out due to the invasion of the orcs—the reconstruction work of each world needed to be arranged and coordinated by Casgar.
Meanwhile, according to interstellar communications from other star sectors, after the beast was slain, the orcs, who had previously roamed the world, split into large and small groups due to the beast's death.
However, among the orcs who manage to escape, some qualified orc warbosses will reappear, leading their remaining forces to quietly develop in some unexplored world, until they launch another "Great Waaaaagh!"...
We must press our advantage and continue to wipe out the remaining orc forces throughout the entire galaxy.
In the future universe, there may be more enemies of humanity. If we become careless and think that humanity has occupied the entire galaxy and has no rivals, and that those barbaric and incompetent orcs can no longer compare to humans, our minds will be filled with arrogance.
The Holy Terra, now marked by the Orcish War Moon, serves as the best example of what not to do.
"I will continue to deal with the remaining orcs."
Vokan volunteered: "The Salamanders will hunt these green-skinned aliens down to the ends of the earth."
"Leave the task of dealing with the remaining orcs to me. You all return to Holy Terra and continue to reorganize this suffering human empire."
He was determined to leave.
Even though Kasgar and Fugrim insisted on keeping him, Volkan remained unmoved.
However, the departing figure looked somewhat like someone running away.
In his view, the Khan's decision to lead his legions to the empire's frontier star system ahead of schedule was an extremely wise one.
If he continued to stay with these divine beings, Vokhan feared he would become one of them—especially since he possessed the characteristics of an immortal, which made it even more unacceptable.
"Farewell!"
