"Fulgrim, I have no intention of criticizing your private life," Ferris said with a smile, perhaps seeing the jealous fire shining in her eyes.
"But do not let the fear of not being loved by others become your weakness, my friend."
"Weakness?"
Fulgrim snorted with disdain.
"Hmph, in this world, who can be more magnificent, more radiant than me?"
"No one!"
"It is impossible, and there will never be anyone more deserving of all the love in this world than me."
She was very confident.
"...Even... the beautiful angel of the Ninth Legion that the Emperor just mentioned?" Kasjia asked in a low voice.
"Of course."
Fulgrim leaned close to Kasjia and whispered in his ear, "She's the Primarch of the ghoul legion..."
She couldn't imagine how beautiful the Primarch of such a cruel and ferocious legion like the ghouls could be.
The question Kasjia had asked was really inexplicable.
An angel?
Hmph, an angel wouldn't be as beautiful as me!
She didn't think this sister of hers could possibly surpass her in beauty.
And Kasjia, who knew the outcome of everything...
"Yes."
"That's right, that's it."
He couldn't just refute her on the spot.
Kasjia chose to go along with her.
Apart from the one empty chair, the whole banquet was not as unbearable as Kasjia had expected.
He could feel that the Emperor was trying his best to maintain his relationship with the Primarchs, but most of the time he just sat there, saying nothing.
He gave off a strong aura of "don't talk to me."
It seemed that apart from the progress of the Great Crusade, he didn't have much to contribute to the Primarchs' discussion.
As the one in charge of everything, he was not in a good position to judge the right and wrong of the arguing parties.
He just listened quietly.
And just when Kasjia thought the banquet would end like this, a Custodian in full golden armor pushed open the gilded door of the banquet hall.
"My Lord, Number Two, he has arrived."
The Custodian took a step to the left to make way, and following behind him was a tall Primarch.
He was tall and slender, with a long, thin face.
The master of the Second Legion.
It was Kasjia's first time meeting him, but he had a sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that the person he had been waiting for had finally arrived, the Emperor nodded slightly at him.
Kasjia straightened up at the sight.
And this would be his first time seeing the mysterious master of the Second Legion.
"Please, be seated."
"Alright."
The taciturn man still had a frown on his face after taking his seat. He did not sit down, but stood in his original position and said.
"Father, my discovery this time is very unusual."
The Emperor waved his hand with great tacit understanding, dismissing the many servants waiting at the side.
He was the most respected by the Emperor for his strength.
The master of the Second Legion.
He had not been back for long, and the Second Legion was not the strongest Astartes in the Great Crusade.
However, he was able to conquer one seemingly invincible, powerful enemy after another for the Imperium of Man with his own powerful combat strength and skills.
"The problem lies on Fenris."
As he spoke, his sharp eyes stared at the still-dazed Leman Russ.
"Huh?"
"In these past few days, I have investigated the genes of the giant, ancient sea krakens on Fenris. They are very similar to the xenos creatures our army is currently encountering."
"Based on reasonable speculation, they are very likely the vanguard of a certain species that once invaded the galaxy."
"If this is true... it is very likely that the biggest enemy we are facing is not the xenos in the Great Crusade."
"But a terrifying existence from outside the galaxy."
"Then what you mean is—?"
"That unknown tyranid xenos could return to our world at any time."
"Father, I understand the meaning of the Great Crusade," he paused, as if organizing his words.
"But when facing a more dangerous enemy, we should first focus more of our energy on them."
"I believe we need to temporarily halt the progress of the Great Crusade and first ally with the Rangdan Empire—"
"No, my child."
The Emperor almost immediately rejected his proposal.
"What we lack most is time."
"The Great Crusade must absolutely not be slowed down."
"Perhaps the enemy from outside the galaxy is also terrifying, but I do not want any legion to slow down the pace of the Great Crusade for any excuse."
"...Yes."
The master of the Second Legion, seeing this, fell silent again.
"Do not be discouraged."
"We have all witnessed your merits in the Great Crusade."
The Emperor, perhaps seeing the master of the Second Legion's dejection, wanted to comfort him and liven up the atmosphere a little.
"Your powerful military talent and combat quality will be a model for all Primarchs."
"And here, I will, in the name of the entire Council of Terra, bestow upon you the title of Warmaster of the Great Crusade!"
Clap, clap, clap.
Everyone stood up and applauded to celebrate.
Although there were also unconvinced Primarchs like Horus and Ferris, most of them agreed with the Emperor's appointment.
The master of the Second Legion, although taciturn, his talent and achievements were a bit ridiculously good.
At the same time, this Warmaster was not that Warmaster.
Currently, the Emperor was still presiding over the Great Crusade, and related matters were still controlled by the Council of Terra.
The title of Warmaster was more of a recognition of his merits.
It also gave him more say in the War Council.
"Father is right. Our main task is to restore order to the galaxy and make it perfect again."
"And the Emperor's Children are ready for the crusade."
The glory of the newly conferred title made even Fulgrim a little eager to try.
As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, since the masters of other legions could achieve so much in the Great Crusade...
...then why couldn't she?
"No, that's too reckless, Fulgrim."
Eight Primarchs, seven siblings.
Including the always-silent master of the Second Legion.
Everyone was against Fulgrim participating in the Great Crusade as an independent expeditionary fleet.
"Tsk, the pot calling the kettle black."
Fulgrim pouted with displeasure.
Clearly, when he had started his campaign, the Second Legion was not much more numerous than hers.
But he just had to cast the key dissenting vote against her at this time.
"You think we, the Emperor's Children, don't have enough manpower, is that it?"
"Then, Leman Russ, how many men do you need to conquer a world?"
Using the Space Wolves as a benchmark.
The first battle of the Emperor's Children would amaze everyone.
"Me?"
"Haha, give me eight hundred wolves from Fenris, and I can conquer a world, sister," he said, slightly drunk, his voice as loud as thunder.
The Space Wolves had always been brave.
But of course, no one would take the nonsense of a drunkard who had had too much mead seriously.
Except for Fulgrim, who was ready to accept his challenge.
"Then that's a pity. Because I only need—"
"—six blades."
Her fingers formed a number.
Six.
"To conquer the first world of the 28th Expeditionary Fleet, I only need six blades."
