Chapter 367 Travel Notes of Chogoris
Perturabo originally planned to sort out Chogoris’s customs and geographical descriptions a second time, and store them in the Iron Warriors’ database as data that conforms to the format. , and even in the alternative model of the Court of Narni.
But after he flipped through the first ten pages of this thick stack of manuscripts, he confirmed that when Morse was narrating, his starting point of view was completely on the basis of travel notes and anecdotes, and the finished product was also a complete book. Records of experiences.
Although it has great reading value and interest, and can broaden the knowledge of others, if you want to extract effective information from it and use it to compile a clear data collection, it is full of gaps and cannot be used.
In desperation, the Lord of Iron had no choice but to put aside the idea of conscientious work, regard the long letter as a leisure opportunity after official duties, and no longer think about collecting information about the home planet that the fifth legion's star hunters will possess.
"The royal name of the Great Khan is Chagatai Khan. Khan is what the grassland herders of Chogoris call their ruler. Chagatai once mentioned that when he took over the Fifth Army in the future and adjusted the system within the Army, , he should also use the title of 'Khan' to replace the method of addressing the company commander.
"When I wrote this letter, the Paladin prince of Chogoris was gone, and Chagatai Khan was interested. Borrowing celestial phenomena, using weather spells to amplify the weather influence, he also trapped the last few generals in a corner, and then sent light cavalry straight into the royal capital in order to hang the heads of the leaders of the Paladin family on the top of the tent. As for the remaining defeated generals in the future, most of them are nothing to fear.
“In the eyes of the Chogoris, the number of people ruled by the Great Khan, the vastness of the territory under his rule, the sincere submission of each tribe, and the benefits brought by the trade flow between tribes in recent years are the world’s greatest Unparalleled in the past and future, they deserve the title of the Khan of Khans.
“Their civilization has not fallen far enough to regard any extraordinary thing as a miracle, nor has it yet come into contact with the true. With its aerospace capabilities, when the Emperor's expedition fleet actually arrives at Chogoris, even just a few exploration ships will most likely have a huge impact on Chogoris' existing cultural system.
“All of this must be controlled personally by Chagatai Khan.
"Recently, he appointed the officers who had the most merit in the campaign, promoted their positions, and gave them silverware plundered from Paladin, along with medals he ordered to be engraved. The medals were often engraved with different inscriptions. Patterns, such as lions, falcons, horses and other animals
"Chagatai himself did not explain these patterns. I concluded in private that he was using his own method to segment the administration. personnel, mortal military personnel, and future Astartes candidates. After I obtained the Star Hunter legion battle report from Malcador and relayed it to Khan, he secretly paid attention to his future military strength.
“Now that we have seized power, we cannot always maintain our original living customs. Although the Khan’s command is based on grassland nomadicism, there are also people who are accustomed to living in city-states.
“ Going west from the Atek Plain, after half a day's riding, you can reach another surrendered city. You can see houses, gardens, and towns. It is mainly based on handicrafts and commerce. It is densely populated, and there are also birds and animals around. Thanks to the natural The conditions and daily necessities are more abundant than those on the grassland.
“Follow a river and continue to the southwest, crossing some valleys, where a wide range of pigs and cattle are raised, and the taste is delicious, worth tasting. There are also large orchards with juicy and sweet fruits. Low, I love it.
“In addition, there are some state capitals that are either good at cotton spinning and can turn raw silk into silk and satin, which even the grassland people inevitably like; or they have pillar industries of sugar or salt production, and the goods are shipped everywhere, and they are centers of trade. These were places where life was originally relatively prosperous. After Chagatai's troops took over, they either destroyed them from scratch and rebuilt the grassland culture on the ruins, or integrated them with them.
"Chogoris. Although not significant, the handling of these political affairs can be regarded as a preview of the conflicts between the central and local governments in the future empire. Last time, the Khan reluctantly and his subjects took care of government affairs in the big tent. After only three days of boredom, he couldn't help but rush out of the room and breathe the fresh air of the grassland.
“I really want to know how long Chagatai Khan can endure when the Star Hunters have to deal with regional politics in the future. I believe there must be a step-by-step process here.
” Chagatai Khan intended to build a Jasper Palace in Quanzhou as a place of rule in the future. By the time this letter reaches you, the dust will probably have settled, so it doesn't matter whether 3,600 palace design drawings suddenly pop up in your mind. Besides, there is a huge cultural gap between Olympia and Chagoris. I think the local people’s designs are more in line with their own tastes.
“It is worth mentioning that some people suggested that since the Great Khan was about to become the lord of the world, he should send people to various ministries to gather women with beautiful faces and suitable status to serve the Great Khan and consolidate them. The relationship between the Great Khan and various tribes. I heard that Fulgrim had several wives in marriage. In any case, Chagatai Khan decisively rejected the matter."
Later, there were several portraits that Morse had rubbed at unknown times and attached to the letter. They must be examples of women submitted by those tribes. Regardless of their true appearance, the painting techniques used in these portraits emphasize the spirit over the form, which is indeed not consistent with the aesthetic habits developed by Perturabo in Olympia. He rubbed his eyes, calculated the time, and decided to wash his hair.
For Perturabo, washing hair is a unique hassle - those data cables, although certified for sealing when installed, are best removed periodically Clean to ensure no dust and impurities interfere with data transmission.
In addition, due to the precision and complexity of these lines, only Perturabo himself knows which interface each line should be reconnected to after they are removed, and whether additional repairs and maintenance are needed. Work. This meant that he could not roughly punch his short hair at the water outlet like Rogal Dorn, or imitate Sanguinius and hand over this trouble to the mortal attendants who were waiting for him.
The tiny Magnus told him that in the Palace of Terra, he would have the opportunity to meet several of his Primarch brothers whom he had never met. Even before Mortarion met him, he was stimulated by Sanguinius to clean himself up. Taking advantage of the time, Perturabo decided to occasionally do some useless things.
As for being like Fulgrim's Emperor's Children, applying pearl powder on the armor and carving patterns on the sides of the sky eagle... there is no need to go to that extent.
Magnus also told him mysteriously that what he encountered in Lycaeus must be shared with Perturabo face to face. Perturabo could only comfort himself. Seeing that the fifteenth Primarch was not emotionally frustrated, it probably meant that he had not caused new troubles, so he was worthy of praise.
While he was thinking, the war blacksmith sent a request outside the door. Perturabo controlled the iron door to slide open silently.
"Dantioch," he said calmly, examining the warsmith's physical condition with his eyes.
Various data show that after the recent period of recuperation, the veteran's physiological condition has already turned around. If necessary, he can also leave his armor for a short period of time to maintain his vital signs.
Perturabo would not mention the past glory and difficulties face to face. His attitude clearly showed that he only regarded the other party as a trustworthy and reliable deputy. The Warsmith was grateful for this.
“The fleet has entered the Sun Star Domain, and Throne World has sent a request for identity verification.” Dantioch said.
Throne World. Perturabo silently savored the word and the meaning behind it.
Due to work demands, Perturabo often returned to Terra. It was a gray planet that was always restless. Heat was always floating in the sky above the hive. The eternal roar of traffic rails and mechanical engines was almost cold. Through the glass surface of each large vehicle, it could be seen as cloudy eyes. You can see countless people crowded inside the vehicles. As the cheapest currency and resources of the human empire, they are driven away by their livelihood.
On the towering mountain plateau, the Royal Palace of Terra, which was personally supervised by Rogal Dorn, was resplendent and magnificent. The towers chased the stars and the moon, reaching into the clouds, announcing that the Emperor of Mankind would give The eternal glory and beautiful promises of the Milky Way.
And this is where the throne is. Where the ideal of empire took root. The star torches illuminate the foundations of the Milky Way.
The more he got to know Terra, the more Perturabo could confirm that it was a blessing for him that the Emperor had entrusted them with the responsibility of the Praetorians of Terra.
"In response to them," said Perturabo, "the Iron Warriors fleet requested entry into the Defense Arc of Terra."
