Chapter 366 A Long Letter
Perturabo's finger pressed an invisible button on the iron table, causing the desktop baffle that contained several pen knives to move to the side, and casually moved it from He took out a penknife and opened the letter from Morse along the edges.
At this time, it was 846 years. The battle with the Hrud people was completely over. The lost warrior was able to return to the fleet. After several blood relatives who came to assist in the battle said goodbye to him, the Lord of Iron could finally say goodbye. The author got a real short rest.
He left the Iron Blood command room where he had been for several months, returned to his much more comfortable office in the core ring of the Iron Blood, and found a thick letter with golden runes remaining on the table. If you have a long letter, open it and read it slowly.
During the second half of the Battle of Satrada Abyss, considering the intensity of military operations and his unusually busy personal life, Perturabo had to write to him from time to time at the beginning of a letter. Morse, who shared his travel experiences, directly stated that if there is no urgent matter, do not send too many letters.
Morse sent a short note indicating that his voyage was going well and he was about to arrive at his next destination.
Then, he said a few words in a pretentious manner, claiming that he did not expect that not long after he left the Iron Warriors Fleet, Perturabo began to feel that the frequent exchange of letters between the two made him very unhappy, so he The next long letter describing the experience will not be sent until everything at the next target is settled.
“By the time this letter is delivered to you, your war should have ended long ago, so I won’t say anything more. After all, I was not present during the whole process. Let’s get straight to the point.
< br>“I applied to the Eighth Fleet for a drop capsule so that I could enter Chogolis’s atmosphere in a more normal way. Although landing in Baal is simpler, it is relatively difficult to understand. I don't want to be like your father and do something unusual every day.
“Chagoris is different from any other place you have ever seen. The people here use a phonetic script, but the spelling rules are more complicated, and different consonants need to be added to show the tone. There are also some special symbols for the beginning of the chapter, the end of the sentence, the end of the chapter, etc. This letter will probably be very thick, because after I finish the text, I will copy it again in the local language for your reference.

"After landing, I found the Primarch's forces. His name was Jaghatai Khan - which is essentially a title, as much as you take it as a name.
"He was born in Among the nomads on the grassland, their stance is naturally opposed to the local ruler Paladin. They have successfully established prestige among the grassland tribes. They are currently recruiting warriors from the grassland as light cavalry, and a few psychics as zadyinarga. , writing Stormseer in Gothic, assisting in psychic warfare.
"I have recently told the stories of other Primarchs in the form of oral legends to the local people. They are very interested in these galactic legends, and I think they have great reverence for the Primarchs. The level is likely to be maintained at a level that is not excessive.
“As for Chagatai Khan, he spoke highly of you in the story and said he was willing to hear more relevant anecdotes.
“I don’t need to worry about the war in Chogoris. The army trained by Jaghatai himself is enough to destroy all obstacles. I temporarily acted as one of Malcador’s duties in the Palace of Terra. That is to explain the scale, structure, military strength, principles and policies of the empire to the newly returned Primarch
"It is worth mentioning that he asked me directly which type of god or man the emperor was. I told him that at least it is still the latter.
"After I shared with the Great Khan After the story of the lost Primarch, he immediately suspected that I was joking on him, because he could not understand why a special project with high hopes could be so carelessly sabotaged. "I only have suspicions about what Erda did, but no evidence, so I just hinted that someone must be causing trouble. This earned you a sneer from your brother, which is also interesting.
“I followed the Empire’s standard propaganda method and shared with him the secrets of the Empire’s truth, emphasizing the importance of realistic physics. He warmly invited me to watch the wonders at the battlefield the next time the shaman summoned wind and thunder to destroy the city.
"With the exception of Mortarion, many of our Primarchs are convinced that the Emperor's truth is nothing more than a stopgap measure, but with reactions as violent as Jaghatai's and words as sharp as his, I'm afraid There is no second one - Conrad does not count, he is one level above the level of believing that the truth of the empire is false
"I quote the Markbearer, ignorance is harmless. Imperial truth is merely a protective lie, and humanity cannot be ready to face the truth while the afterglow of the old night is still lingering.
" The Khan scoffed. This, he said, was a variation of what the Paladin Empire did to its slaves. In Chogoris, the Paladin Empire similarly told its slaves that when the time came, they would be free; but the time was never too early. A lie remains a lie until it is set aflame with anger.
“I told him that I thought he was right, but I am not the emperor or the regent. Speaking these words to me would have the same effect as speaking to the air. This made him laugh. , turned around and asked me if there was really no more blood wine to drink. I am afraid that one-third of his curiosity about the empire came from the glass of wine that he was not allowed to taste.
"The Human Emperor. Now that the envoys have arrived in Chogolis, the Emperor's personal visit is just around the corner. Jaghatai Khan accelerated the pace of his conquests, most likely out of concern that he would be ordered by the Emperor to return to Terra before the Chogoris crisis was over. Objectively speaking, with the surrender of Lord Death Mortarion as an example, the Emperor is probably unlikely to do such a stupid thing again. But everything is just a matter of chance.
“There is no need to list the following battles one by one. In addition, the psychic dispatch here is affected by the natural environment of the planet. The emphasis on the power of nature is also a characteristic of the battlefield. I don’t know What does Magnus think of this level of psychic use?
"While I have nothing to do now, I will simply write about the customs and customs of Chogoris with you, and you can read it as a travelogue..."
After reading this, Perturabo raised his head for the time being and took the time to read. A glance at the environmental detection values displayed on the Contemplator. There is still the familiar contradiction and chaos. This means that the Iron Warriors fleet is continuing through the warp, following the guidance of the Star Torch, and returning to Terra.
According to the news sent by Magnus - the smaller Magnus, Mortarion has never known his existence: this time more than one army of the Fourth Legion was killed by the Emperor Secret order to recall and return to Terra.
To describe it more accurately, the Emperor's edict sent to Perturabo's desk was not actually a mandatory task, but a letter of advice, first asking the Iron Warriors for help in Hrud. The overall situation after the First World War, and then asked if you have the energy to devote yourself to new tasks in the near future. In short, there is no need to force it.
It was this rare attitude that made Perturabo determined to return to Terra immediately to meet the Emperor in person and understand the situation.
