348. Who came first?

Regarding Horus's promotion to the rank of commander, Fooken was fully prepared.

Naturally, the Phoenix of Chemos wanted his best friend Manus to be the commander - but that was a story of the past, and now Fernus doesn't seem to want to be the commander, so as his best friend, Fogen understands and respects his choice.

He was also very happy to see Horus become the battle commander, no one was more suitable than Horus, Horus was good enough, enough to take care of the overall situation, and had a good relationship with most of the primordials. (except Lion King, Coetze, and Corax)

Phoenix carefully prepared gifts for the commander, and also thought about countless evaluations and countermeasures in his mind about Horus becoming the commander.

Of course, he knew that some of the primordials would not be satisfied with this, and as a friend of Horus, Fogen would share a share of Horus's sorrows.

After all, Phoenix thought intimately that Horus at the center of the event would be the most stressed one than the bystanders with different reactions—he was about to take on the weight of the empire.

Horus, on the other hand, was fond of putting pressure on himself, and he was always worried that he was not good enough to meet the expectations of everyone, especially the Emperor.

Horus is still too responsible, but Fogen appreciates this, which is why he chooses to settle some of the gossip for Horus.

But......

The current situation is clearly not one of the scenarios in Fogen's thousands of plans.

[Calm down, guys, I mean calm down. 】

The silver-haired owner turned his head sharply, and his hair flew,

[Today is Horus's promotion day, what are you doing?] 】

Why did the topic deviate from Horus? And it will cause conflict?!

But apparently the slightly mad phoenix was not enough to suppress the two freaks, who both showed a certain amount of contempt for the tall presence.

[I just need an explanation.] 】

Motarian spoke calmly, but the eyes under the hood betrayed his burning heart.

Luojia opened her eyes slightly,

[Do you know him?] Do you know the being I'm described? 】

[Of course I know, I can pick out his ashes from the ash heap when he turns to ashes.] 】

Motarian said impatiently,

Then why do you know him, Luojia? 】

[Hey, didn't any of you listen to me?!] 】

Phoenix shouted in a faux puff, and sure enough, no one paid attention to him.

The archangel shook the wine glass in his hand, the scarlet liquid flickered, and he silently drank the wine in the glass.

Horus would not have wanted such a thing to happen on this day, and Saint Giles would not have allowed such a thing to ruin the mood of his best friend.

Even the angel had a hunch of what Motarian and Luojia's words would reveal - a topic that interested him enough.

The Khan was still sitting, and he casually watched as the archangel stood up and shook his wings.

[I think Fugen is right.] 】

The angel spoke briefly, but all eyes looked at him,

[This is the day of Horus, Motarian, Luojia.] 】

Motarian stared at the angel tightly, and he realized that his tactics had gone wrong.

After a long time, Motarian's figure shook, and the Lord of Death took a small step back, his eyes shining,

[I'm impatient.] 】

The Lord of Death spread out his hands and sat down again, but this time, he sat next to Luojia.

Fogen sighed aloud with relief and magnificence, but in a moment he would be depressed that his light was not as bright as that of St. Giles.

Luojia blinked inexplicably, he didn't understand Motarian's sudden malice - and Motarian's words shocked him, did his brother know anything too?

The angel looked thoughtfully at Motarian,

Motarian reluctantly tugged at his hood, the fabric obscuring the gaze of his "brothers" from looking at him.

He opened his mouth, and his hoarse voice was like a poisonous snake cutting across a tombstone,

[Yes, today is the day of Horus, and other topics are not timely. 】

Motarian did not look at anyone, he hid himself under shadow and poison gas,

[Soon we should not be shouting in the name of the Emperor, under the leadership of the Great Commander, I think the Emperor will return his Terra with peace of mind.] 】

Everyone's blood was cold, and the angel's face was like an inferior mask.

Fogan took an exaggerated breath, and just as Phoenix was about to open his mouth to ask what Motarian meant, Motarian interrupted him mercilessly, as if he had just tried to interrupt Motarian,

Motarian spoke briskly, as if he were happy to say these words,

[Do you really think this is a good thing?] None of us knew why he went back suddenly, and it wasn't a game of competition over who was his most favored kid - I don't think the liar had the heart to play that with us. 】

Fugan's shouts rang out along with Luojia's roar—

[Stop! Motarian! You should know what you're talking about?! 】

Thou shalt not be disrespectful to God! 】

Innocently spreading his hands, Motarian turned his head to look at the silent Angel and the Khan, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes proving that Mortarian was smiling.

The angel and the khan were calm, on the other hand—rather in disguise, because they felt that there was at least some truth in what Motarian had said.

The khan did not believe in the empire, nor in the emperor; The angel was also very wary of the Emperor, and he was always worried about his legions.

Motarian continued to speak lightly, the indifferent Lord of Death had no guilt at all for Horus,

[So I don't think it's appropriate to talk about the commander today, at least we should let Horus bask in the fact that he is a good boy of the emperor, and rejoice in the immense power of the immensity for a while.] 】

Khan took a sip of wine, and he reached out and pulled Luojia, who had just stood up and roared, to sit down.

Luojia struggled and finally sat down, and he looked down at Motarian and said,

He is our Father, the god of mankind—you need to fear Him, and I want you to take back what you said, Motarian. 】

Forgan, who was farther away, whispered in annoyance after hearing Luojia's words, "So no one cares about Horus?!" Then he was interrupted by an angel and handed over a glass of wine.

Why should I fear him? 】

Motarian said nonchalantly,

[With him being our father, and then throwing us around as babies?] 】

The Khan took another sip of wine, and the angel silently looked away.

Luojia took a deep breath, Motarian felt that how Luojia really believed the emperor's words, then he was either too weak, or too fond of preaching, otherwise how could Luojia resist not rushing up and swinging his fist?

[You can't be so short-sighted, He is the god of all mankind, this is not what you are aware of, every action of Him has a more far-reaching impact. 】

Motarian took a sip of wine and sneered at the answer,

[Profound meaning? Then why did he throw me on a dead planet full of poison, and he wanted to see his offspring suffer? Or does he really think that Barbaros has -]

Mortarian suddenly stopped squeaking.

He was suddenly horrified to realize that the Emperor had only met two people when he first landed on Barbarus, one was him and the other was Hades.

The horrible thought immediately extinguished all the anger, sarcasm, and pleasure that Mortarian had just had, and he floated in the terrible thought as if weightless.

So...... Was Hades under the emperor's eye in the first place? It's just that he was immersed in anger at the time and didn't realize it.

As Motarian began digging into his memories, he realized that the Emperor had been in contact with Hades long before he became a Space Marine, and had told him information that even Motarian did not know.

Well, before Hades became the commander of the Death Guard, he was already ......

Motarian didn't dare to think about it anymore, for the first time he had expected the Emperor to be a liar rather than some kind of omniscient being.

Luojia watched in amazement as Motarian wilted like withered grass, and he hadn't even begun his formal consolation,

Do you know what you have done wrong to Him, brother? 】

[No,]

Motarian said sullenly,

[Tell me about him you saw—and his "extension of consciousness.] 】

He heard the sound of an angel behind him, or a wine tasting from Fugen.
