Choglis, Korqin steppe.

More than a month has passed.

Fu Qinghai and Shaban Khan stood side by side on a high platform made of earth, and the others of Tengur, Ogedei, and Ilya stood behind them, and everyone waited quietly for the other four sub-regiments of White Scar to arrive at Chogris.

Although Ilya Lavare is a mortal woman, she does have a lot of prestige within the White Scar and her sub-groups, after all, she is a woman who is revered as "Sizu", and she summons all the sub-groups to assemble, and the leaders of the war groups will give face.

"Do they know that the Great Khan is missing?"

Fu Qinghai looked into the distance and asked.

"I guess I don't know yet."

Xi Ban said lightly with an expressionless face.

Fu Qinghai turned his head and glanced at Xi Ban:

"These prosthetics on you, I have a way to turn them back into their original form, if you need them."

Hearing this, Xiban paused for a moment, he turned his neck a little uncomfortably, and finally politely declined:

"No, I'm used to it."

Shabban Khan was a taciturn and gloomy man, and it is said that he was not like that at first. The original Cyban was like every White Scar Space Marine, bold and uninhibited, and loved to laugh.

During the Horus Rebellion, he was Nayan Khan of the Storm Brotherhood, and his close friend Togulhun participated in the rebellion of Hasik Nayan Khan in his plot to seize the flagship of the White Scar fleet and join the Warlord's side, and it was Shabban who led the team to stop them. During the war, his forearms, calves, thighs, and neck were so badly injured that he had to be replaced with mechanical prostheses.

The betrayal of his best friend, his physical disability, and the double trauma of his physical and psychological trauma have greatly changed his temperament, and he is no longer the laughing warrior he once was, but has become depressed and irritable. Despite this, he remained impeccable during the siege of Terra, and Shabban Khan did everything in his power to defend every mortal soldier and common man who fought with him.

Chagatai successfully banished the demonic Primordial Motarian, but was unconscious due to the Nurgle virus, and it was Shaban Khan and Ilya Ravareh who re-established the White Scar command system and gathered the legions back to strength.

Fu Qinghai knew about Shaban Khan.

Of course, Xiban also knew about Fu Qinghai.

Chaban knew that Aoyama was a rising star of the legion, especially good at mechanical casting, and he beat all the masters of the legion in the training cage at a young age without tasting defeat - Chaban himself had never fought against him, because at that time Chaban had already undergone a large prosthetic replacement, his body was a little repulsive to mechanical prosthetics, and there was always a sense of sluggishness during the battle, so Siban never entered the ring of the training cage since then.

Although unknown during the Great Rebellion, Aoyama Khan was a prominent performer during the Great Purge, bringing back the heads of the Legion Consuls of three traitor legions: Nacred, Lord of Midnight, Ketesias, son of a thousand sores, and Eldoron, son of the Emperor. The Legion Archon was equivalent to the Warband Commander in the Warband era, and his record was equally impeccable.

Xiban heard that the Great Khan had wanted Qingshan to succeed Qin Xia as the new Lord of Cowardice, including Ilya Lavalre, who also agreed with this decision, but Qingshan did not want to be the captain of the pro-genetic guard but wanted to set up a new warband on his own, so the Great Khan let him go hunting freely in the galaxy to prove that he was capable of controlling a warband.

Now it seems......

His ambitions may have been more than that.

Xiban glanced at Aoyama's side face.

Danjur stood behind the Commander, looking at the Leader's back. He once thought that Aoyama Khan had come to pick him up, but now it seems that picking him up was only one of the purposes of his visit. Aoyama Khan seems to have a lot of plans hidden in his heart that need to be implemented. Danjur actually wanted to tell his own war commander that he was very strong now, and he was a group stronger. But the khan seems to be somewhat absent-minded about this.

For Fu Qinghai, the spiritual energy of the director of the war group think tank that he booked many years ago is very talented, and this discovery is certainly surprising, but he himself has exiled the four chaos demons, so he will not be overjoyed because of this, it can only be regarded as an unexpected joy, and his mentality is relatively flat.

"Here they are."

Ilya Lavare spoke suddenly.

A few black dots in the sky gradually expanded.

With the roar of the engine and the whirlwind in the face.

Four Thunderhawk gunboats landed on the prairie.

……

A strong wind swept across the grassland.

The green grass blades undulate like the waves of the sea.

The remnant sun gradually fell into the mountains.

A dark red sunset stained with blood pierced the clouds on the horizon.

White Scar and his children lost their Genetic Father, but left few items to remember - unlike Rog Dorn, who had at least one severed arm left before he disappeared, Chagatai Khan disappeared with a fleet, his armor, his sword, his mount all on the flagship, and the only vest for the Storm Prophet to wear before he found it in his palace.

Several sets of old-fashioned Khitan hunter robes.

The night completely covered the earth, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the sound of the wind was still there. Several bonfires rose in the middle of the vast grassland, and many space marines sat silently around the firepit, surrounded by many braziers and nine white flags, and the flames and white flags were fluttering and swaying in the night wind.

A group of Storm Prophets were walking around the firepit, their steps neatly moving along a certain rhythm. The oldest of the Storm Prophets, at the head, sang loudly as he walked, his voice desolate and impassioned, spreading through the night towards the prairie in all directions.

"Thinking back to returning in the seven-foot snowstorm, it seems like there is no end in sight for several months."

"In the blood-stained cherry blossom smoke clouds, it is just like a silent foreshadowing."

"All the people are united in the smoke, if the soul of the pawn wants to return to his hometown!"

"I miss the bright moon and fall to the bottom of the water, and the heroes of my children are confidants."

There is tragedy in the desolation of the song.

Fu Qinghai didn't know what ritual this group of Storm Prophets was going on. Expressing longing for the original genotype? Or maybe it's trying to summon the original body back through some kind of psionic means? Little did he know, he was just like the other Space Marines, watching them sing and dance in the moonlight around the fire.

Fu Qinghai sat cross-legged on the ground.

I silently recalled his original body in my heart.

Reminiscing about some of the details of the time I spent with him.

The gene prototype is still quite good to him, giving him a treasure sword and a BMW mount, a compulsor-class system control light cruiser as the initial capital, an Emperor-class battleship as a battle barge, more than 300 gene seeds and more than 600 recruits...... However, none of the above is the most critical.

The most important thing is that Chagatai authorized Fu Qinghai to recruit the traitor legion of space marines as a means of supplementing the army, and this method has been used to this day, and has evolved into a full effort to collect the genetic seeds of the traitor legion, and even become the main way to expand the size of the warband.

In other words, if some bureaucracy in Terra really wants to pursue this, Fu Qinghai also has the endorsement of the genetic protogen, and he is doing so at the behest of the white scar, rather than acting on his own.

The Storm Prophet prayer service ends.

The night fell silent again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's the case."

Fu Qinghai, as the actual initiator of this gathering, slowly swept his gaze over the battle leaders of Xiban Khan and several other battle groups, and said in a deep voice. He told everyone present that he was from the future and that he had already entered the Emperor's Sanctuary to meet the Emperor.

Although it has been scattered all over the galaxy, it is a sub-group that was split during the second army period, and more than ten years ago, it was still a battle brother under the command of the same original body, and everyone here is very familiar with each other, and there is no situation where the sub-group is dismantled again and then dismantled in later generations and does not know each other.

"The Great Khan is missing, but the fighting has not stopped, and in seven hundred years the Chaos Traitors will launch the Black Crusade, and that is only the beginning of what they call the 'Great War of the Ages'. Aliens are also eyeing the Dark Eldars, Orcs, who have never given up their greedy coveting of humanity, whether it is territory or life, and even the overlords of the universe who are about to awaken and the terrifying unknown tentacles of the galaxy. ”

Fu Qinghai said in a deep and serious voice:

"The high lords of Terra, they only care about the small profits in front of them, a group of insects addicted to power, short-sighted and inadequate. Now that the Great Khan is gone, we cannot allow the white scars to continue to divide and scatter everywhere, we must unite again! Reunite under a banner when necessary, and remind traitors and aliens who have forgotten the horrors of White Scars the storm on the horizon! ”

"You're reorganizing the Fifth Legion?"

Shaban Khan asked, exclaimed.

"I want to, but I can't."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and denied:

"The second establishment of the army to split the legions, this is the decision of the imperial regent Robert Killman, and none of us can disobey it. But all provisions apply only to the general situation — the situation at the time of the enactment of that provision. We should not be rigid and dogmatic, sooner or later the Empire will find that the military structure of the Astarte Warbands is not capable of dealing with all human enemies, and that one day the Empire will desperately need a legion. ”

"What's the plan?"

Ilya Lavalé asked, frowning.

Fu Qinghai's eyes swept sharply towards everyone:

"We are all sons of the Great Khan, we are all children of the storm, the commonalities in the blood connect us to each other, while everyone here is still familiar with each other, while we have not completely forgotten our identity and mission, we swear by blood today: no matter how far apart, if one day in the future, mankind faces a critical moment of life and death, all our warbands will be reorganized into a legion to fight the enemy together!"

"Hiss......"

The crowd at the fire pit suddenly held their breath.

That's right, this is Fu Qinghai's plan.

White Scar Edition of the "Final High Wall" protocol.

As we all know, Roger Dorn has always been very opposed to the Second Army, the Split Legion and the Astarte Codex, and even almost turned out with the Ultramarines, but in the end he still compromised. However, after the compromise, Roger Dorn still kept his hand and took two very important insurance measures:

1. Final High Wall Agreement.

2. Blade Feast Conference.

The final wall is a secret agreement between the Imperial Fist and its sub-groups, made behind the scenes of Roger Dorn. The agreement requires that the Imperial Fist and its sub-regiments be regrouped into the Seventh Legion in the event of a major threat to Terra. The six major groups involved in the signing of the agreement include: the Imperial Fist, the Black Sanctuary, the Crimson Fist, the Exemplar Fist, the Soul Drinker, and the Accrual, and they will meet and reorganize in the Farr system according to the agreement.

In the end, the High Wall Protocol was a complete violation of the Astarte Codex, and it was likely to result in the Imperial Fist and its sub-groups being convicted of traitors. But it should be noted that there is also a legion, the Sixth Legion Space Wolves, which has no intention of splitting the legion at all, just changing the "legion" to the "warband". Perhaps because there were less than a thousand space wolves at the time of the second army, Robert Killiman ignored them.

As for the Blade Feast, it is a Centennial Honor Contest between the Fist of the Empire and its sub-groups. After the division of the clans, many warbands were very different in temperament, style, and culture, and there were few opportunities to meet. In order to keep his descendants connected, Rog Dorn established the Feast of the Blades to encourage Space Marines to hone their fighting skills and deepen their brotherhood in competition with each other.

According to the process, each clan first conducts an internal selection to select a clan champion, and then sends this champion to participate in the Blade Feast competition. The fights in this arena are usually highly ritualistic and non-lethal, with Space Marines fighting according to ancient dueling traditions. This lasts for several days until one of the champions is declared the winner based on the results and the recognition of their peers. The winning team will be the next organizer.

The first Feast of the Blades was organized by Roger Dorn himself, and it is said that the Feast of Blades has been held for more than 8,000 consecutive years, and at least twelve Emperor Fist regiments regularly participate in the Feast of Blades. Although the Fist of the Empire tradition requires it to be held once every 100 years, it may be held earlier or later depending on the situation, and some warbands may occasionally abandon the competition due to combat mission conflicts.

White scars also have their own blade feast.

This is also Fu Qinghai's decision after careful consideration.

The Fifth Legion is really scattered, probably because of the scout positioning of the predecessor of the legion, the "Star Hunter", before the legion was split, the white scars were scattered all over the galaxy in the form of tribes or hunting groups, and there was no connection after the split, and even some of the sub-regiments were not convinced by the parent group.

The Ultramarines, Blood Angels, and Black Angels do not have a Final Wall Agreement or a Blade Feast, but whenever the Mother Regiment encounters a major crisis, such as the Black Legion advancing on Macurag, or the Hive Fleet threatening Baal, all the sub-regiments 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 Blackheart King Huron led the Red Pirate Warband to attack Chogris, and the White Scar Warband struggled to resist alone, and even the wargroup leader Juba Khan was sent to the intensive care unit, and finally waited until Robert Killiman came to support with the original cast Space Marines, which was a tragic word.

"Every hundred standard Terra years, all of our warbands will reunite in Chogris, first send the champion warriors in each warband to hold a jousting tournament, and then gather all the warbands to find the genetic protogen."

Fu Qinghai proposed to everyone:

"It's called...... How was the Kuriltai Conference? ”

Fu Qinghai thought of a Horqin name.

Several Khan kings, including Shaban Khan, nodded their heads in agreement, even without the foreshadowing and rendering of the previous empires in crisis, they all felt that this proposal was very good, and it was conducive to the white scar to always maintain unity.

Fu Qinghai has deeper considerations.

In his plan, the Kuriltai Conference is a combination of the Fist of the Empire's Blade Feast and the Great Hunt of Space Wolves - holding jousting competitions while searching for the original body. Not only that, but he also wants to show off his latest weapons and equipment inventions at the Kuriltai Conference, which will turn the event into an arms fair, where each sub-group can exchange surplus genetic seeds for new weapons, including traitor genetic seeds.

"As for the secret protocol I was talking about."

Fu Qinghai lowered his voice and admonished:

"No one can admit it out of this grassland."

Several Khan kings looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

"The agreement has to have a name, Aoyama."

One of the warband commanders reminded.

"Well, it does......"

Fu Qinghai's gaze drifted into the distance.

The bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the white glow reflected on the vast grassland, and the spires of the herdsmen's tents in the distance were also dyed a little sparkling by the moonlight.

"How about ...... call it the 'Golden Horde'?"

Fu Qinghai came up with a name.
