【……】

[Are you okay?] 】

【……】

【…… Not good. 】

Chagatai was silent, and on the other end of the channel, Corax was tired, and the whispers of blood almost rang in the ears of the Great Khan.

"Horus is here, I'm here with him briefly—thank you to Sage Tarasin, otherwise you wouldn't be able to talk to me by now," Corax said word for word, "Horus is a bastard, the most arrogant trash in the galaxy. 】

Khan moved his mouth, and he pretended to be relaxed and said,

[I thought you wouldn't say this to me, it seems that you still trust me? 】

[No,] the Lord of Shadows said dryly, "I know your relationship with Horus, but I want to say that even if you stand in front of me, I will still say this, and if you come to stop me, then you are the second bastard in this galaxy. 】

Khan chuckled under his breath, he laughed dryly a few times, and then stopped,

He leaned in silence in front of the podium, a rustling sound could be heard in the channel, and Corax was silent but it sounded like he was cursing and bandaging his wounds,

[I'm sorry,]

The Khan said, "Attacking our brothers, this is not what I wanted, my warriors have made a mistake, they have relied too much on the commander, and the commander has given them some kind of unrealistic illusion. 】

[Haha,] Corax smiled mockingly, "I have nothing to laugh at you on this - my own sons obey the orders of the commander, and even betray us. 】

Khan scratched his head, he stared at the fresh bullet marks on the podium, which were the marks left by Juba Khan's bullets,

What are you going to do now? 】

Chagatai asked,

[You can go anywhere," Corax's voice sounded wearily, "I can't beat him, my legion can't beat his legion, damn it, anywhere, I just want to find a place to fix the legion instead of being drawn into an inexplicable war again and again." 】

There Corax cursed under his breath again.

[Horus invited me to sit on his ship.] 】

Khan said that he listened to the gloomy voice of Koraks, and his voice was almost cursing Khan,

[Are you going?] I mean—do you want me to take back what I just thought you were saved? 】

Chagatai pursed his lips,

What was Horus like at that time? 】

[Maniac,]

"Megalomaniac, bastard, dumbfounded by the title—far more evil and arrogant than the last time I saw him. 】

[He hates me, he hates his brother, Horus is absolutely insane, he no longer hides his hatred for me, he wants to kill me, Khan, you must know that before this, Horus will still pretend to say hello to me for his damn title. 】

Khan listened carefully, and at the other end of the channel, Koraks laughed and coughed a few times,

[I could see that he was crazy, and he kept talking nonsense, and he knew that I couldn't win me over, so he didn't hesitate to try to get rid of me,]

[Thanks to Tarasin for helping me blow up the corridor where we were fighting - I was able to retreat in time.] 】

Khan looked away from the crater,

[Horus is crazy.] 】

He repeated Colacs' words, as if asking,

It doesn't matter," said Colax, "to me, it doesn't make much difference whether Horus is crazy or not. 】

[So, do you still want to visit that madman?] Even after I said all this? 】

Khan was silent, he needed to take a look, he knew about Corax's prejudice against Horus, could he trust Corax? What's more, Horus took out the card "Magnus".

The truth can only be seen with one's own eyes.

[I need to go and see,]

Chagatai said succinctly,

[I will make my own judgment then.] 】

Even if Horus is really crazy, as a friend of Horus, Chagatai will see the crazy Horus in person.

【Good,】

The other end of the channel said, "There's nothing more to talk about, Chagatai, good luck, we're retreating. 】

Khan blinked in dismay, "Where are you going, Koraks?" 】

Corax laughed, "Wherever, could it be that I will not retreat until White Scar and the Children of Horus come and attack me?" 】

[In the name of Chagatai Khan, White Scar will never attack the Raven Guards.] 】

Corax took a deep breath, clutching his belly, which had been torn open by the claws of Horus, which was still red,

[Okay, but I'm not going to help you either, to help someone who is trying to find Horus.] 】

[No,] Khan said, "No, I mean, if you really want to find someone who can oppose Horus......]

He stopped,

【…… If Horus is really crazy......]

You should go to St. Giles. 】

The Khan said, "St. Giles, if Horus is really insane, only St. Giles can stop him. 】

Corax quipped, "St. Giles? Hopefully, St. Giles won't tear me apart along with Horus. 】

【……】

Khan suddenly asked,

[Corax, has Horus really become evil as you say?] 】

I swear," said Corax, "there is no more evil being in this galaxy than him. 】

[Then,] Khan frowned, "Then we need St. Giles, or the Lord of Mankind. 】

Corax was silent, "Where shall we go to find them?" 】

Khan pondered,

[Horus, Horus knows where to find them, and the answer lies in the Spirit of Vengeance, whose navigator knows the way out of here - his subordinate Abaddon has told my warriors that they have a way to get out of here. 】

[Koraks, I need an invitation to go to Horus, you can follow me.] 】

【…… And then? 】

Corax asked softly,

I'll take Horus, and you'll go to his ship to find his navigators. 】

[I can indeed infiltrate the Spirit of Vengeance...... But ......]

Colax said, "I'm not going. 】

Can you get out of here? 】

Khan asked dryly.

Colaxton paused, but then he gritted his teeth and asked Khan,

【…… Can you make sure you hold Horus? I mean, are you sure you'll get out of it? You're going to die, Chagatai, and when you ascend to the Spirit of Vengeance, the end is already set, either you take refuge in him, or he kills you and then takes your army. 】

Khan laughed,

[Hongmen Banquet," he said softly, "I know. 】

[Dan...... It's not that there is no other way,]

"We're not the only ones here, Koraks. 】

The Khan told Koraks everything about the vision that the Storm Prophet had discovered.

[Strange...... Corax said, "That's weird, is this really possible?" 】

[I'm sure. 】

Khan said, his eyes raised and stared at his Storm Prophets.

[Accompany me on a trip to the vengeful spirit, brother, we need to at least know how to get out of here, or Horus can trap us here.] 】

Merry Christmas!
