Chapter 633 An Observation Station
Chapter 312: The Khuriltai Conference and the Golden Horde Agreement
Qiaogris, Horqin Prairie.
More than a month has passed.
Fu Qinghai and Xiban Khan stood side by side on a high platform made of rammed earth. Danzhuer, Ogedei and Ilya stood behind them. Everyone was waiting quietly for the other four sons of White Scar. The group arrived at Chogris.
Although Elijah Lavare is a mortal woman, she does have great prestige within the White Scars and their sub-groups. After all, she is a woman revered as "Szu". With her convening various sub-groups to assemble, the chapter leaders will Give me some face.
"Do they know that the Great Khan is missing?"
Fu Qinghai looked into the distance and asked.
"Maybe you don't know yet."
Xiban said calmly with no expression on his face.
Fu Qinghai turned his head and glanced at Xiban:
"These prosthetic limbs on your body, I have a way to change them back to their original form, if you need them."
Xiban paused after hearing this. He turned his neck uncomfortably, and finally declined politely:
"No, I'm used to it."
Shaiban Khan was a taciturn and gloomy man, although it is said that he was not like this at first. The original one was like every White Scars Space Marine, bold and uninhibited in his actions and fond of laughing.
During the Horus Heresy, he was the Nayan Khan of the Brotherhood of the Storm. His close friend and fellow comrade Torqu'ulhun participated in the rebellion when Hasik Nayan Khan plotted to seize the flagship of the White Scar Fleet and join the Warmaster's camp. Xiban led the team to stop them. During the war, his forearms, calves, thighs and neck were severely damaged and had to be replaced with mechanical prostheses.
The betrayal of his best friend, physical disability, and double physical and psychological trauma caused Xiban's temperament to change drastically. He was no longer the laughing warrior he once was, but became depressed and irritable. Despite this, he performed impeccably during the Siege of Terra, with Shaiban Khan using all his strength to defend every mortal soldier and commoner who fought alongside him.
Jaghatai successfully banished the demonic primarch Mortarion, but fell into a coma due to the Nurgle virus. It was Shaiban Khan and Ilya Lavare who re-established the command structure of the White Scars and gathered the legions. Get back on your feet.
Fu Qinghai knew Xiban Khan.
Of course Xiban also knew about Fu Qinghai.
Saiban knew that Aoyama was a rising star in the legion, and was particularly good at mechanical casting. At a young age, he had defeated all the masters of the legion in the training cage without losing. Shaiban himself had never fought against him, because at that time, Shaiban had already carried out a large-scale training. After body replacement, his body was somewhat resistant to mechanical prosthetics, and there was always a sense of sluggishness during the battle, so Xiban has never entered the training cage ring since then.
Although Qingshan Khan was unknown during the Great Rebellion, he performed well during the Great Purge. He brought back the heads of the Legion Archons of three traitorous legions: Nakred of the Night Lords and the Thousand Sons of the Thousand Sons. Ctesias and Eidolon of the Emperor's Children. The legion consul was equivalent to the chapter leader in the chapter era, and his record was equally impeccable.
Xiban heard that the Great Khan once wanted Qingshan to succeed Qin Xia as the new Lord of Qinxue. Even Ilya Lavare agreed with this decision. However, Qingshan did not want to be the captain of the Primarch's personal guard but wanted to establish his own company. He established a new war group, so the Great Khan allowed him to hunt freely in the galaxy to prove that he was capable enough to control a war group.
Now it seems……
His ambitions may not stop there.
Xiban glanced at Qingshan's profile.
Danzhuer stood behind the Chapter Leader and stared at the Chapter Leader's back. He once thought that Qingshan Khan came specially to pick him up, but now it seems that picking him up is just one of the purposes of his coming to Chogris. Qingshan Khan seems to have many plans hidden in his heart that need to be implemented urgently. Danzhuer actually wanted to tell his chapter leader: He is very strong now, one of the strongest. But Khan seemed a little distracted by this.
For Fu Qinghai, the discovery that the think tank director of the war group he had booked many years ago had strong psychic talents was a surprise, but he himself had exiled four great demons of chaos, so he would not be overjoyed by this. , it can only be regarded as an unexpected surprise, and my mentality is relatively dull.
"They're coming."
Elijah Lavare suddenly spoke.
Several black spots in the sky gradually expanded.
Accompanied by the roar of the engine and the whirlwind hitting the face.
Four Thunderhawk gunships landed on the prairie.
…
A strong wind swept across the grassland.
The green grass blades undulate like the waves of the ocean.
The setting sun gradually sets into the mountains.
The blood-stained dark red sunset penetrated the clouds on the horizon.
The White Scars and their descendants lost their Primarch father, but left little to commemorate their memory - unlike Rogal Dorn who left behind at least a severed arm before his disappearance. Jaghatai Khan disappeared with a fleet. His battle armor, his sword, and his mount were all on the flagship. In the end, only the Storm Seer passed through before finding the Primarch in his palace. Several sets of casual clothes.
Several sets of vintage Khitan hunter robes.
The night completely enveloped the earth, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but the sound of the wind was still there. Several bonfires rose in the middle of the vast grassland. Many space warriors sat silently around the fire pond. There were also many set-up braziers and white flags standing around. The flames and white flags were floating in the night wind. swing.
A group of Storm Seers were walking around the firepit, their steps seemed to follow a certain rhythm. The oldest Storm Prophet at the head was singing loudly while jumping and walking. His voice was desolate, heroic and impassioned, penetrating the night and spreading in all directions on the grassland.
"When I think back to returning home in the seven-foot snowstorm, it seems that the months are so far away that there is no end in sight."
"The blood-stained cherry blossoms are like a silent foreshadowing."
"Everyone is united and the beacon is rising, if the soul of the deceased is going to return home!"
"I miss the bright moon and fall to the bottom of the water. My heroes and heroines are my confidants."
The desolation of the song contains tragedy.
Fu Qinghai didn't know what ritual these storm prophets were performing. To express my longing for the Primarch? Or maybe he wants to call the original body back through some spiritual means? He didn't know, he just watched them quietly, like the other Space Marines, singing and dancing around the fire pit under the moonlight.
Fu Qinghai sat cross-legged on the ground.
He silently recalled his original body.
Recall some details of your time with him.
The Primarch was pretty good to him, giving him swords, weapons, BMW mounts, an Enforcer-class system control light cruiser as initial capital, an Emperor-class battleship as a battle barge, and more than 300 and 600 gene seeds. New recruits... However, the above are not the most critical.
The most critical thing is that Chagatai chartered Fu Qinghai to recruit the traitor legion space warriors as a means to supplement his troops. This method has been used to this day. Today, it has evolved into an all-out collection of traitor legion gene seeds, and has even become an expansion of the war. The main way to group size.
In other words, if some Terran bureaucracy really wants to pursue this matter, Fu Qinghai also has the endorsement of the Primarch - he is carrying out such actions under the instruction of the Primarch White Scar, rather than acting on his own initiative. Act independently.
The Storm Prophet prayer ceremony ends.
The night fell into silence again.
"Everyone, this is the situation."
Fu Qinghai, as the actual initiator of this gathering, slowly glanced at Xiban Khan and the chapter leaders of several other chapters, and said in a deep voice. He told everyone present that he came from the future and that he had entered the Emperor's Sanctuary to see the Emperor.
Although they have been scattered all over the galaxy, they are all sub-groups that were separated only during the Second Founding of the Army. They were fighting brothers under the same primarch more than ten years ago. Everyone here is familiar with each other, and there is no such thing as that of later generations. The seed group then breaks up the sub-groups, resulting in a situation where no one knows each other.
"The Great Khan is missing, but the battle has not stopped. Seven hundred years later, the Chaos traitors will launch the Black Crusade, and that is just the beginning of what they call the 'Eternal War.' The aliens are also watching, and the Dark Eldar, Orks, they have never given up their greed for human beings, regardless of territory or life, and there are even the upcoming overlords of the previous generation of universe and the terrifying unknown tentacles outside the galaxy."
Fu Qinghai said in a deep and serious voice:
"The high lords of Terra, they only care about the petty profits in front of them. They are a group of insects addicted to power. They are short-sighted and lack strategy. Now that the Great Khan has disappeared, we cannot allow the White Scar to continue to gradually split and scatter everywhere. , we must unite again! Gather under one flag when necessary, and let the traitors and aliens who have forgotten the horror of the White Scar remember the storm on the horizon again!"
"You want to reorganize the Fifth Legion?"
Shaiban Khan asked in surprise.
"I want to, but I can't."
Fu Qinghai shook his head and denied:
"The Second Founding of the Army and the splitting of the Legions is the decision of the Imperial Regent Robert Guilliman, and none of us can defy it. However, all regulations only apply to the general situation - the situation when that regulation was made. We should not be rigid and dogmatic If we stick to the rules, sooner or later the Empire will discover that the military organization structure of the Chapter Astartes cannot cope with all enemies of mankind, and one day the Empire will be in desperate need of a Legion."
"What's your plan?"
Ilya Lavare asked with a frown.
Fu Qinghai glanced at everyone with sharp eyes:
"We are all sons of the Great Khan, we are all sons of the storm, and we are united by the common ground in our blood. While everyone here is still familiar with each other, and while we have not completely forgotten our identity and mission, we are here today. We swear by blood: No matter how far apart we are, if one day in the future, mankind faces a critical moment of life and death, all our battle groups will reorganize into a legion to fight against the enemy together!"
"hiss……"
Everyone by the fire pit immediately held their breath.
Yes, this is Fu Qinghai's plan.
The White Scars version of the "Final High Wall" protocol.
As we all know, Rogal Dorn has always been opposed to the second establishment of the army and the splitting of the Legion and the "Code of Astartes", and even almost fell out with the Ultramarines, but in the end he compromised. However, after the compromise, Rogal Dorn still retained a hand and took two very important insurance measures:
1. The final high-wall agreement.
2. Blade Feast Conference.
The Ultimate Wall was a secret pact between the Imperial Fists and their sub-chapters, forged behind Rogal Dorn's back. The agreement called for the Imperial Fists and their sub-chapters to regroup as the Seventh Legion in the event of a major threat to Terra. The six groups participating in the signing of the agreement include: Imperial Fists, Black Templars, Crimson Fists, Paragon Fists, Soul Drinkers, and the Blamer. According to the agreement, they will meet and reorganize in the Phare system.
The final High Wall Agreement was completely contrary to the Codex Astartes, and was likely to result in the Imperial Fists and their sub-chapters being declared traitors. But it should be noted that there is still another legion, the Sixth Legion Space Wolves. There is no intention to split the legion at all, but just change the "Legion" to "War Group". Perhaps because there were less than a thousand Space Wolves at the time of the Second Founding, Robert Guilliman ignored them.
As for the Feast of Blades, it is a century-old honorary competition held between the Imperial Fists and its sub-chapters. After the legion was split, many war groups had great differences in temperament, style and culture, and had few opportunities to meet each other. In order to maintain some connections with his descendants, Rogal Dorn established the Feast of Blades to encourage Space Marines to continuously study combat skills and deepen their brotherhood in competition with each other.
According to the process, each war group first conducts internal selection to select a war group champion, and then sends this champion to participate in the Feast of Blades competition. Combat in this tournament is usually highly ritualized and non-lethal, with Space Marines fighting according to ancient dueling traditions. This continues for several days until one of the champions is declared the winner based on results and recognition by his peers. The winning team will serve as the next host.
The first Blade Feast was organized by Rogal Dorn himself. Later it was said that the Blade Feast had been held continuously for more than 8,000 standard years. At least twelve Imperial Fist groups regularly participated in the Blade Feast. Although the Imperial Fists tradition requires that the event be held once every hundred years, the host chapter may hold it earlier or later depending on the actual situation, and some chapters may occasionally give up participating due to conflicting combat missions.
The White Scars also have their own blade feast.
This was Fu Qinghai's decision after careful consideration.
The Fifth Legion is really scattered, probably because of the position of the "Star Hunters" scouts of the legion's predecessor. Before the legion was split, the White Scars were scattered around the galaxy in the form of tribes or hunting groups, and they had no contact after the split. , and some sub-groups are even not convinced by the parent group.
The Ultramarines, Blood Angels and Dark Angels do not have the Final Wall Agreement or the Feast of Blades. However, whenever the parent group encounters a major crisis, such as the Black Legion approaching Macragge, or the Hive Fleet threatening Baal, all sub-groups will be ordered to issue an order. The regiment will return to the legion's home planet to participate in the battle.
But white scars can’t do that.
In the 42K era, the Black-Hearted King Huron led the Red Pirates War Gang to invade Chogoris. The White Scars fought hard to resist alone. Even the leader of the Chapter, Juba Khan, was sent to the intensive care unit. Finally, Robert Guilliman waited. Bringing the Primaris Space Marines to support them was a terrible thing.
"Every one hundred standard Terran years, all our chapters will reunite in Chogris. First, they will send out the champion warriors from each chapter to hold a tournament, and then gather all the forces of the chapters to find the Primarch together."
Fu Qinghai suggested to everyone:
"How about... just calling it the Khuliltai Conference?"
Fu Qinghai thought of a Horqin name.
Including Shaiban Khan, several Khan kings nodded in agreement. Even without the foreshadowing and exaggeration of the empire being in crisis, they all felt that this proposal was very good and would help the White Scars remain united.
Fu Qinghai has deeper considerations.
In his vision, the Kuriltai Conference was a combination of the Imperial Fists' Blade Feast and the Great Hunt of the Space Wolves - a joust and a hunt for the Primarch. Not only that, he also wants to showcase his latest weaponry inventions at the Khuliltai Conference, turning this event into an arms expo. Each sub-group can use excess gene seeds to exchange for new weapons, including traitor gene seeds. also.
"As for that secret agreement I was talking about."
Fu Qinghai lowered his voice and warned:
"No one can admit it outside this grassland."
Several Khan kings looked at each other and nodded to express understanding.
"The agreement must have a name, Qingshan."
One of the chapter leaders reminded.
"Well, indeed..."
Fu Qinghai's eyes drifted into the distance.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the white light shone down on the vast grassland. The spiers of the herdsmen's tents in the distance were also gleaming in the moonlight.
"How about... just calling it the 'Golden Account Agreement'?"
Fu Qinghai suggested a name.
