"The first, when the stars aligned in the wrong place, the evil and filthy rats were preparing to bring their plague and destruction to Lustria, hiding in the rainforest near the eternal city of Ox'o in the south. Within, I will send an army to assist you in destroying those Skaven, and the great prophet Tehenhoin of Sotek and his army of snake gods will also join the battle."

"Second, recently there was a hot-blooded species with a group of subordinates who often robbed our transport teams on Sotigo's Ridge to expel or eliminate these hot-blooded species. If possible, it doesn't matter if we recruit them."

"Go, son of the Ancient Saint, may the light of Potek envelope you." Croc closed his eyes after saying these words. It signaled Fulgrim to go out, and the temple guards and Skink Priests immediately came up. , preparing to take Fulgen out.

"One last question." Fulgrim ignored the temple guards and Skink Priests. He looked at Crocker: "I have one more question to ask."

"Say it." Crocker opened his eyes again, and the temple guards and Skink Priest took a few steps back.

"Is there hope for the future?"

"Hope is always there."

Ten minutes later, Fulgrim came out of the Great Pyramid. He slowly walked down the Great Pyramid alone. He looked at the hundreds of lasers shooting into the sky throughout Itaza and remained silent. No matter whether it was Julius It was Master Jin who tried to ask about Fulgen's situation, but Fulgen waved his hand to let him think about it first.

Seeing the legion leader like this, the entire army knew that Fulgrim must have learned some important news. Everyone left time and space to Fulgrim and followed the lizardmen to camp within Itaza.

From a human perspective, Lord Crocker's attitude towards Fulgrim is a bit like "taking the tea away". The Emperor used his own power to help Crocker resurrect, and he shouldered a lot of responsibility for this. Attrition, he also helped the lizardmen purify all contaminated hatching pools, and even left Fulgrim to assist the lizardmen.

Crocker's attitude was surprisingly indifferent. He first told Fulgrim that the Emperor was never as invincible and powerful as you imagined, and then clearly told him that you were not qualified to know the big plan, and then made it clear that this was just a plan. Make a deal, and then tell Fulgan that I have a task for you, please do it quickly.

Very cold, right?

But Fulgen understands deeply, what is the logic of cold-blooded species? This is cold-blooded logic. For the Slann Demon Toads, the big plan is the only thing worthy of their attention and efforts. In order to protect this world shaped by the ancient saint, the Slann Demon Toads are willing to do anything. Including life, they don't know what gratitude is. As long as it is beneficial to the big plan, they will do it. If it is harmful to the big plan, they will destroy the creatures that hinder the big plan. This is cold-blooded logic. Favorability is not a good thing for lizard people. It means nothing.

Don't use human logic to confuse the lizard people's thoughts, just like mortals can never understand the thoughts and power of gods.

But Fulgrim can still extract a lot of information from it. He doesn't know what the "Grand Plan" is, but he knows that Crocker's understanding of the Grand Plan is undoubtedly deeper, and he also shared part of it with the Emperor. Knowing that the Emperor approved of the grand plan, or at least part of the grand plan, the two sides had the basis for an alliance, thus promoting the alliance between Fulgrim and the Lizardmen.

So the question is, what exactly is the “big plan” going to do?

Fulgrim gets a headache every time he thinks about this problem. He always feels that he has been close to the end of speculation countless times, but these insignificant results will soon be overturned. What is the truth and core of the big plan? Today he finally overcomes it. Rock got the answer here, which is "unknowable".

Very good, so I am a complete tool person, Fulgrim smiled to himself after thinking everything through.

Father's tool man.

The Primarch of the Emperor's Children did not feel sorry for himself. He knew that he owed it to the Emperor, if he had not fallen at an extremely fast rate during the Horus Heresy and killed Ferrus with his own hands, and then seriously injured Guilliman. , maybe the situation will not become so bad at all, he owes a lot, at least he now has a chance to atone.

In the ancient building not far from the Great Pyramid of Itaza, the soldiers of the Ash Legion are stationed here, and the Skink Priest sent a detailed map.

Since Fulgrim was away, Golden Mage Karim, Julius, Deputy Legion Commander Fernando Pirazzo and others gathered together. They spread the map on the table and pointed their fingers to the west of the great forest sea. On the "Sotigo Ridge" mountain range, Fernando Pirazzo said in a muffled voice: "According to the information from the lizard people, there is a group of short hot-blooded people who have taken over the mountain and become kings on the Sotigo Ridge Mountain Range. Robbery and plundering, but currently because the main force of the lizardmen is trying to regain more temple cities and fighting the Skaven army in the south, there is no way to ignore this group of hot-blooded species for the time being."

"A short... hot-blooded one?" Julius frowned.

The expedition knight suddenly felt that he was too insignificant. In the magnificent temple city of the Lizardmen, Julius truly realized the power of the legendary ancient race, the laser that penetrated the sky, the tyrannosaurus several meters high, and the There are tens of thousands of Lizardmen troops, all telling the story of the ancient and glorious history of the Old Saints.

His faith was strengthened by this, and he firmly believed that his lady would not put him here for no reason.

"Speaking of short hot-blooded people, there are only..." Master Jin touched his beard, and several generals turned their heads and looked in a certain direction of the camp.

"?" The halfling Habi was wearing a tall white chef's hat, applying spices and salt to the thigh meat of a dinosaur. The two halflings were struggling to shake the grill, and there were bursts of noise coming from the grill. The aroma, the halfling's cooking skills were recognized by everyone. When Habi saw several people looking at him, he put on a smile: "Gentlemen, there is still some time before dinner starts, don't worry, delicious food will not be lost because of Urgent and cooked faster.”

"I don't think they're halflings." Pedro, captain of the first company of the Ash Legion, shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not impossible for halflings to appear in Lustria, but they prefer stealing rather than robbing."

"I also think that halflings don't have such ambitions. Protesting unreasonable taxes and demanding citizenship rights are the limit of what they can do." Pirazzo also nodded: "Then, since they are not halflings, the only possibility is …”

"They are dwarves, and they are a group of high-tech dwarves!" Fulgan appeared.

"Legion Commander!" Everyone stood at attention and saluted, making way for Fulgrim. The Ash Legion Commander calmly walked to the map: "They are dwarves, and they are an elite dwarf squad. This group of dwarves is not only equipped with many Advanced war machines and even a squadron of Dwarf rotorcraft helicopters!”

"The legion commander means..." Master Jin has already thought of Fulgen's idea.

"The Holy Alliance between the Empire and the Dwarves has gone through more than two thousand years. No matter what, the long-bearded ones will at least give humans a chance to communicate." Fulgrim said with a smile. The handsome and extraordinary legion commander was in the eyes of the soldiers. He is as dazzling as a god, and even his words and every expression can impress the soldiers: "As long as we find a way to find these dwarves, I will have a way to make them join us willingly, I promise .”

"But... Legion commander, we are not an empire." Julius hesitated to speak. Apparently Ryan's uncle had doubts about whether he could convince the dwarves. Britannia's relationship with the dwarves in history was only It was okay, and there were conflicts. Historically, whenever there was friction between Britannia and the Empire, the dwarves of the Gray Mountains and the Black Mountains would definitely side with the Empire.

"Who said we are not the Empire?" Fulgrim stood up, with absolute confidence in his voice: "What is the symbol of the Empire? Golden double-headed eagle, skull, emperor? After the emperor is obviously Guilliman, Guilliman After that, it’s me Fulgen!”

"In this world, I am the empire!"

.........I am the dividing line between the true empire and the false brother's country......

The Ash Legion will be stationed in Itaza for a short period of time, and then immediately break camp and head to the Sotek Ridge Mountains. As for the south, the Snake Legion led by the Snake God Prophet Tehenhoin has already fought with the Skaven in Ox'o. For several months, there have been casualties on both sides. It seems that the Skaven want to create something underground. Fulgrim finally decided to get rid of the group of dwarves first. He and his legion are in great need of the dwarves' technology and weapons and equipment. , he cannot always rely on importing advanced firearms and war machines from the old world.

After nightfall, the camp where the Ember Legion was stationed also fell into silence. The light from the Ancient Saint's Pyramid pierced the sky and lit up the dark night sky. Both the stars and the moon were trembling under the original power of the Ancient Saint.

Because Karona stayed on her own along the way and followed the Ash Legion obediently. After Itaza completed the task of delivering the stone slab, Fulgrim's Phoenix Guards inevitably thought that the task had been completed, so they also relaxed their vigilance. , the wood elf princess finally found an opportunity and secretly slipped out of the camp relying on her concealment ability and super night vision.

It's time for this princess to show off her skills! Karona couldn't help but feel excited. She secretly took back her dagger and left the camp along the planned path.

"Princess Carona, where do you want to go so late?" Just when Carona was about to succeed, a gentle voice suddenly sounded next to her. Fulgrim was carrying Sotek's war spear on his back and a golden belt on his waist. Power Sword Glory looked at Aralos' daughter with a playful look on his face: "Didn't we agree on the terms? You want to follow us and you can't leave?"

"Ah, it's you, strange uncle!" The wood elf princess felt her heart beating uncontrollably when she saw Fulgrim. Fulgrim was so handsome and beautiful, and the strange uncle's face was as clear-cut and ridged as a jade carving. The angular face is extremely handsome, and the sparkle in his eyes is something that people dare not look down upon. She has silver-white, silky long hair parted in the middle, and a pair of slender eyes under the sword-shaped eyebrows that seem to be able to talk, making people fall into her if they are not careful. Karona's face turned red: "I... I'm going for a walk, can't I?"

"Okay, Your Highness Princess, it is too dangerous for you to go for a walk alone. I suggest you need a companion." Fulgen was very calm: "Otherwise, if there is an accident, it will be inconvenient for me to ask my brother Ryan and your father Ala Ross explains."

"Hmph! You are such a weirdo. I want to take a walk. What does it have to do with you? Your proposal is clearly just to take advantage of others' danger!" The wood elf princess looked at Fulgen fiercely: "Eslay will not accept your threat. I wouldn’t walk with a man!”

"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, I have naturally considered this situation." Fulgen clapped his hands, and more than twenty Ash Legion soldiers immediately appeared around him. They all looked at Karona with green eyes: "So it's okay to go for a walk with twenty or so men, right?"

"You, you...perverted uncle, what do you want to do?!" Karona took two steps back in fright.

"I have always respected you, Miss Karona. Now you have a choice. Do you want to walk with more than twenty men? Or do you just want me to follow you?"

Karona's face turned pale, and she could feel the wolf-like eyes examining her back and forth, as if she had a real feeling. The wood elf princess gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and finally could only say: "... Then...just forget it, you perverted uncle! Are you happy?"

"Very good." Everyone dispersed, leaving Fulgen and Karona behind. They walked along the avenue of Itaza under the bright night sky. Karona knew that her thoughts could not be hidden from Fulgen. Just walk quickly towards the emerald pool.

"You have always cared about this pool." Fulgan followed Karona and asked softly: "Is this related to your coming to Lustria?"

"..." Karona was silent.

"It seems that I guessed it right. Let me guess again. It is no coincidence that we met you. Your goal from the beginning was to enter Itaza, right?" Fulgan then asked: "Why? Why do you, a wood elf, appear here? And you also find ways to enter Itaza? For the emerald pool?"

Karona still didn't speak, and her pace became faster and faster until both of them were close to the emerald pool. It was hundreds of meters wide and covered an extremely large area. The sparkling pool was filled with lotus leaves and aquatic plants. There are also some amphibians, and the pool contains huge life energy. But when Karona wanted to get closer, a powerful magic barrier stopped in front of her: "Damn it, uncle, hurry up and let them go." Open the barrier, I have something important to do."

Fulgrim looked at the wood elf princess with an expression that looked like an idiot.

"Please, weird uncle, I really need the power of this pool! Please, help me once, I will do anything!" Seeing Fulgen disagreeing, Karona immediately changed her attitude , she repeatedly begged: "Only in this way can I be saved. I swear, everything I do is not for myself!"

Fulgrim still shook his head: "No, unless you tell me everything."

The wood elf princess's expression kept changing. She looked anxiously at the emerald pool that was not far away but out of reach. She looked at the determined Fulgen with angry eyes, secretly put her hand into her arms, and held it. The handle of the dagger seems to be a choice between a desperate fight and a helpless compromise.

Fulgrim also stared at her, waiting for her choice.

Finally, Karona let out a long sigh and let go of the dagger: "Okay, I'll tell you everything, weird uncle."

"I came to Lustria because of the oracle of the mother goddess Isa. Only the power of the emerald pool can save me. And the reason why I seek salvation is because of the hunting god Kunos. anger."

"Very well, continue. Why did you incur the wrath of the Hunting God?" Fulgen remained calm.

"I fell in love with a Wild Rider who belonged to Orion, a Wild Rider named Athelin."

"Asselin broke his oath. The Wild Rider was supposed to renounce all worldly ties with the mortal world, but he not only fell in love with me and held on to this love, but he also told me about the Wild Rider. secret."

"The angry hunting god turned Asselin into a stag. Due to my father's intercession, Kunos did not punish me. He used a more terrifying way to retaliate against me. During a hunting, he guided I personally hunted my lover, and that’s not enough. Kunos will continue to resurrect Aselin, letting him repeat the pain of being hunted and reborn forever in reincarnation.”

Fulgan was not surprised at all after hearing this. From the legends and stories he had read about the elves and gods, it could be seen that most of the elves and gods took pleasure in torturing and toying with their own believers. Only the moon goddess Lily A few gods such as Si and the god of wisdom Hes are relatively reliable, but they are not the main gods: "So, you want to borrow the power of the emerald pool?"

"No, Isa gave me a dream. She said that she could not stop Kunos's anger, but she could free Asselin's soul. All she needed was to perform an Isa ritual next to the emerald pool of the ancient saint. , so that Asselin's soul can find peace forever." Karona simply finished the story: "Uncle Wei, can you do me this favor? Please."

"I can help you, but why should I help you?" Fulgen was indifferent.

"I, I will repay you!" Karona was very unhappy, she pouted: "I said, I will do anything."

"Well, I have a condition." Fulgen said: "If you agree, I will help you."

"explain."

"I need you……"
