Chapter 173 [Fake Lex] The biography of the original body - "The Star of the Night" Fujimaru Ritsuka ([-])
[Emperor Arrives]
As Fujimaru Ritsuka saw in her vision, not long after her rule over the entire planet began, the Great Crusade launched by the Emperor of Mankind advanced to the edge of the Nostramo system.

Soon, Fulgrim, Ferrus Manus, Rogal Dorn and Lorgar Aurelion, together with the Emperor, led a negotiating team and arrived at Noster in the brilliant golden light. The surface of Lamoyon at night.The inhabitants of this planet had lived in darkness for a long time and were unable to look directly at the golden light shining around the Emperor.Many people cried because of the light reflected between the walls and the rain, and those who dared to look directly at its source were blinded by the too strong light.

In this way, the negotiation team walked directly in front of the palace of the current ruler of the planet in the golden light. Fujimaru Ritsuka had already expected this and stood alone in front of the palace waiting.And the moment she saw the delegation arriving, she uncontrollably foresaw a large number of real, perhaps the most violent and painful prophetic visions in her life.Fujimaru Ritsuka never talked about what kind of future she saw at that time, but judging from her behavior since then, perhaps at that time, she had foreseen that the Great Crusade, a great cause of the emperor, would have consequences in the end. What a tragic ending.

The Emperor leaned down and comforted his only daughter as she was tortured by this painful vision of prophecy.He said: "Fujimaru Ritsuka, calm down, don't worry, I will take you home." But after struggling out of the pain, Fujimaru Ritsuka responded: "My current home is here here, but I will go with you. Not because you ask me to, but because I will meet my own destiny."

This response made the other Primarchs present at the time have some different views on her, but Fujimaru Ritsuka himself did not care much.The Emperor and others soon realized that they did not actually need to bring the team behind them just for negotiation: the master of Nostramo seemed to have made the decision to leave very early and would All subsequent affairs have been arranged.Rather than negotiating, what the empire needs here more is government officials who can directly take over management and handle practical matters.

[The Great Expedition]
Under Fulgrim's tutelage, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly accepted the guiding ideology of the "Imperial Truth" - at least on the surface.During this process, both Fulgrim and Fujimaru Ritsuka deeply realized that they were almost completely different in personality, preferences, and persistent goals.But even with such a huge gap between them, the two Primarchs still forged a deep friendship.

After completing a series of studies, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally obtained the leadership of the Eighth Legion and renamed it "Midnight Lords".Before the return of the Primarch, the earliest members of the Eighth Legion came from the infamous ancient prisons of Terra, and frequently fought at the Emperor's behest - often not simply to conquer, but to exact cruel punishment.After getting to know the other party deeply, Fulgrim once suggested that Fujimaru Ritsuka write to the Emperor to free his legion from this cruel responsibility, so as to obtain some more glorious and upright achievements. But the latter refused.Because "The Empire not only needs the Emperor's Children, but also the Night Lords. And don't forget, under what circumstances I successfully ruled my home planet. I believe that my soldiers and I can do the job." "

Over the next few years, the Night Lords quickly embraced the philosophies of their returning Primarch.During the expedition, when they had to face the pocket empire ruled by humans, "negotiation" was also put on the plan as a necessary means.If there is a failure at this stage and the entire legion has to shift to a war posture, the enemy will find that the Eighth Legion's combat method still does not pay attention to honor.But compared with the reckless brutality of the past, they gradually began to use a variety of flexible strategies and tactics that were even despised by other primarchs, just to improve efficiency in the war and reduce any unnecessary risks that the primarchs considered. loss, whether it is one's own or the enemy's.After successfully incorporating these planets into the empire's territory, Fujimaru Ritsuka always tends to spend a lot of time tailoring appropriate laws to local conditions to help them smoothly integrate into the empire while maintaining as stable a life as possible.

But if the enemy is an alien race, or if the Emperor needs them to suppress some planets that once surrendered but raised the flag of rebellion, the Night Lords will show their ferocious side under the instructions of the original body.The sons of the Eighth Legion often have a cold paranoia about "justice", and the Nostramo soldiers who joined the returning original body gave the entire Legion a better way to punish and warn for justice. Many "many ingenuities".The Night Lords can also make similar wars end efficiently and neatly, which can be said to be fruitful, but even for the friends who fight alongside them, this process is far from pleasant and even avoidable.

After repeating similar actions many times, the Legion's infamy began to spread across the galaxy.Just the rumor of the Night Lords' imminent arrival will make the governor of the galaxy pay more taxes out of fear. Even the criminal activities of civilians will be stopped instantly. Mutants and suspected heretics who are not allowed to exist under the laws of the Empire will be punished. He immediately dug three feet into the ground from his hiding place and immediately executed him.Even some brothers who had never met the original body of the Eighth Legion had some bad impressions of her.

This made the legion's reputation in the empire become embarrassing, but for Fujimaru Ritsuka, who also did not value honor or reputation, this was a completely acceptable negative effect: fear is not an appropriate means of rule. But when it is necessary to destroy the enemy's will to fight, there is no more convenient tool than this. It is also perfect to use it as a punishment for "betraying the empire".We need to constantly remind our enemies of the price they pay when they decide to stand in the way of the Empire.

Although the Night Lord's combat methods often seem too cruel, other Primarchs have listened to Fujimaru Ritsuka's explanations on this and can patiently understand from the Legion's combat records that such horrific and cruel battlefields are only among the few. After a few moments, I was able to reluctantly agree with her opinion.The most surprising one is Rogal Dorn: when they first met, Dorn made very fierce accusations to Fujimaru Ritsuka about this matter, but the latter just calmly and calmly responded to every accusation made by the former. A question was explained and thanked for pointing out the errors and inaccuracies in her plan.After that, the relationship between the two primarchs could not be said to be very close, but no one would say that their relationship was not good - Rogal Dorn even allocated thirty people at the request of Fujimaru Ritsuka to complete the project. Recruits of the Imperial Fists Astartes' transformation surgery, permanently joining the Night Lords' legions.Among them was Sigismund, the future Chief Executioner of the Night Lords.

But similar things do not go so smoothly every time. Vulkan, the Lord of Fire Dragons, has never been able to agree with the fear tactics instructed by Fujimaru Ritsuka.The two had many fruitless conversations on this issue. In the end, after both thoroughly realized that they could not convince the other, they regretfully said goodbye to each other and tried their best to avoid appearing in the same situation at the same time.The Lord of the Crows, Corvus Corax, also criticized this, but in view of the similarities in their origins and tactics, after several exchanges, both parties felt that they had benefited a lot.Fujimaru Ritsuka has praised Corax's tactics in public, and the latter has publicly stated that he does not dislike the former himself, but as of the Great Rebellion, they and their legions have indeed never joined forces to fight again.

Compared with other legions, the Night Lords' expedition speed is "very unremarkable" - that is to say, it is neither commendable nor slow enough to need urging.This may be related to the original body's own philosophy of "pursuing the golden mean", but it cannot be said that such an expedition speed has not been hindered by the original body's home star.During the course of the centuries-long expedition, the incorrigible evil star Nostramo had experienced several uprisings, restorations, corruptions, rebellions and other incidents. However, due to the speed of information dissemination in the galaxy, when Fujimaru Ritsuka was By the time they learn of this, things have often become out of control, and on two occasions it has even affected the legion's supply of troops.Time and again the Primarch had to withdraw from the Great Crusade and return to his home world to put down the rebellion on Nostramo.
