Chapter 49 - Chapter 49: Would You Like One Too?

Fulgrim and Kasjia had spent thirty years together.

And he, Horus, and the Emperor had also spent thirty years together on Holy Terra!

Fulgrim said in the play that Kasjia had once given her a Sagittarius golden ring and had promised that she would always be his Sagittarius.

And in his long talks with the Emperor in those years, the other had also told him that he would be his Centaur!

Heavens!

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

"Sagittarius, Golden Ring..."

"Heh heh."

Horus's smile was a little unnatural.

He looked at the final subtitle, It is love! The power of love that allows us to save this world!, lost in thought.

"Perhaps Fulgrim is reminding us not to forget the beautiful qualities of being human because of the cruelty of war."

This was a problem that was easy to have after he became the commander of the expeditionary fleet.

Indifference.

As the war continued, he became more and more numb, and his sense of the value of human life became lower and lower.

Everything was just the cold casualty figures inevitably caused by war.

The Luna Wolves of his own legion were fine.

But for the Space Marines of other legions (such as a certain Nineteenth Legion) and the mortal auxiliaries, he had unconsciously begun to take them less seriously.

He had even used them as the vanguard cannon fodder to open up the situation for the Luna Wolves.

And looking at the mortal auxiliaries under Kasjia.

They were well-coordinated and well-trained, clearly having undergone long-term training.

And, to reduce the casualties of the attack, Kasjia had even used a large number of precious automated servitors to provide cover for them.

The one thing the Imperium of Man did not lack was people.

But Kasjia valued their lives more than the precious automated servitors.

And the mortals who had joined the crusade under Horus...

...didn't they also have their own Sagittarius whom they had been with for thirty years in their hearts, just like him, Horus?

In the hands of those dead mortals, could there also be a Sagittarius golden ring?

"I understand."

Horus suddenly had a world-shaking epiphany.

He said something shocking.

"We will bring love and the Sagittarius golden ring back to the Luna Wolves and the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet!"

He had made a shocking statement.

Still here in the strategy room of the Vengeful Spirit.

If the machine spirit of the Vengeful Spirit could really speak...

The Vengeful Spirit: "I was there."

"When Horus was muttering about the Sagittarius golden ring, I was always present."

And so the order was given.

Most of the captains did not quite understand Lord Horus's intention.

The atmosphere in the Luna Wolves was already very harmonious.

To think that they needed to improve their relationships was undoubtedly a bit杞人忧天.

Or was Lord Horus so sure of the Warmaster position that he was in a good mood and was just joking with them today?

"Lord Horus, I have another question."

The always-silent Fourth Captain Loken suddenly stepped forward and said.

"What is it, Fourth Captain?"

Horus still remembered that when almost everyone thought Kasjia was a nepotism case, it was this Fourth Captain who had the insight to see that the other was unusual.

For his question, Horus would naturally listen attentively.

"I want to know, if we really met face to face, how long could their guerrilla tactics hold us off?"

"In a situation where both sides are Space Marines, how long do you think they could last under the offensive of the Luna Wolves?"

As soon as the question was asked, Loken inwardly cursed himself for his slip of the tongue.

He felt that he had asked an extremely... heretical question.

After all, every Space Marine was a soldier of the Emperor.

The scene of Space Marines fighting Space Marines would be unimaginable.

"In actual combat..."

Horus rubbed his chin for a while, analyzing the answer in his mind.

"At least three months."

"As for if they could get extra supplies and support... then it's even harder to say."

"Maybe even a Primarch like me would fall at their hands," Horus replied with a smile.

Of course, these were just assumptions.

They were all Space Marines of the Imperium of Man.

They were the spreaders of the Imperial Truth, the sweepers of all superstition and foolishness.

They would fight alongside the Space Marines of other legions.

Apart from training exercises, no Space Marine would ever point his gun at his battle-brother.

"Alright, thank you for your answer, Lord Horus."

Loken silently retreated.

The first Great Luna Wolf Study Session ended here.

The captains left, talking and laughing.

Horus's order was also very simple.

From now on, the tactic of using other legions or mortal auxiliaries as meat shields and cannon fodder would no longer be used.

Every member of the expeditionary force was their battle-brother, and every person was a precious citizen of the Imperium.

From now on, the tactics of the Luna Wolves would take their own casualties as an important combat indicator.

None of the captains had any objections.

Except for one last point—that the Luna Wolves should also increase their emotional communication and promote a harmonious battle-brother atmosphere.

Thus, the culture of warrior lodges spread earlier in the Luna Wolves legion.

"Brother."

"Brother!"

The group walked out of the strategy room, and walked past the high corridor carved with the names of the fallen soldiers. Their boots made heavy clanking sounds on the white marble tiles.

Even now, there were still a few mortal artisans carving gilded characters on the ebony purlins.

Those were the names of the newly fallen in the Dalinite xenos purge.

The sacrificed would remain there forever.

And everyone still had their own path to walk.

"Brother, I love you so much!"

"I want to give you a Sagittarius golden ring too!"

Torgaddon laughed, and hugged First Captain Abaddon from behind.

"Get off, get off. Tarik, I don't have that kind of hobby."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Abaddon helplessly broke free from the embrace of the jester.

"Then you are still my Cen↑taur↓! I will still give you a Sag↑ittarius↓ golden ring↑!"

"Hahahaha—"

The cadenced tone, like Fulgrim's, caused another burst of laughter among the already lively captains.

"What are you laughing at, Drecarth? Would you like one too?"

The Sol System, Jupiter Shipyards.

"Yaaawn—"

In an exquisite room on this forge world, covered with giant steel machinery and flowing with Promethium as its blood.

A woman over three meters tall stretched tiredly.

She gathered the half-man-high parchment scrolls in front of her and looked at the results of her hard work.

The construction of their own legion's flagship, the Pride of the Emperor, was nearing its end.

The final blueprints had been completed by her. All that was left was a few weeks of supervision, and the entire ship would be completed!

Phew!

Such high-intensity work had made even her, a Primarch, a little tired.

It's time to admire my own glorious figure!

Thinking of this, she rummaged in the cabinet by her bed for the precious recording of the play on Chemos from back then.

To supplement the Sagittarius golden ring energy she was lacking!

Eh?

But she didn't seem to find the recording device.

Why is it A Detailed Explanation of New Information Guerrilla Warfare Tactics for Great Crusade Space Marines and Mortal Auxiliaries (Produced by Kasjia)?

Fulgrim's little head tilted to one side in confusion.

Huh?

Did I take the wrong one?
