May 2515 of the Imperial Calendar, New World, Lustria, Isthmus of Lustria, Costantiniya (formerly Plunderer Port), the luxurious stables of the Ember Legion (elf warhorse only).
The Kingdom of Britannia Knights, the first heir to the Duchy of Winford, the eldest son of Duke Francois and the biological brother of Queen Sulia, Julius Cumani-Antry-de-
Winford got up.
This expeditionary knight is now the commander of the Chasseurs of the Ash Legion, responsible for commanding most of the cavalry of the Ash Legion. He himself has great military exploits. In the rainforest of Lustria, which is full of dangers and mysteries, Julius
Relying on his incomparable bravery and perseverance, tenacious style, excellent commanding ability and tactical ability, he got a title recognized by everyone as "Julius the Holy War Knight".
Similarly, Fulgrim also took great care of this relative. He took him with him to participate in several war opportunities. He also talked to him in peacetime and taught him his rich knowledge and experience. However, he had not yet agreed to Julius joining him.
Phoenix Guards, Fulgrim's reason for this was "it's not time yet" (actually Fulgrim no longer has the gene seed in his hand).
This made Julius very depressed.
However, more depressing things are yet to come.
Julius originally thought to himself that he had made so many contributions and accomplished so many feats. He could count the number of Skaven warlords and engineering warlocks who died in his own hands on one hand, plus many greenskins.
Shamans and undead pirate captains, when there is no war, they should be assigned to a more important position, right?
No, when he returned from the external battle, Ryan's brother-in-law worked as a groom in the Ashes Legion, responsible for serving those hot-tempered and extremely proud pure-blood elf war horses.
After Julius's efforts, the two pure-blooded elf war horses Fulgrim obtained from the Arab King Master finally reluctantly gave birth to several foals (Julius had to help from behind during mating).
Push hard), and what's even more terrible is that from then on, this pure-blooded elf warhorse family identified Julius, and only
Let him serve, other grooms will be chased as soon as they enter the stable, and it is very likely to eat a hoof. A hoof from a pure-blood elf war horse is not comfortable, although the proud pure-blood elf war horse will not be as uncontrollable as if it has no IQ.
It is as powerful as a wild horse and can directly kick someone to death, but being kicked like this is really painful.
A pure-blooded elf war horse would kick someone so painfully that they wouldn't be kicked to death on the spot or become disabled.
So in the end, after much back and forth, Fulgrim continued to ask Julius to be the groom, and Julius had no choice but to agree.
After getting up, washing up and having breakfast, Julius once again put on a pair of stain-resistant groom's clothes, carried two buckets of water and fresh milk, and went into the stable to work.
When several pure-blood elf horses saw Julius coming in, they neighed excitedly, came over to lick his face and rub his neck, and began to enjoy breakfast. Two of the pure-blood elf horses even came up to them.
He placed his hoof in front of Julius.
Hey, breeder, it's time to fix my horse's hooves!
Although Julius felt helpless, the Holy War Knight had always been a very dedicated person. He immediately expressed his understanding, then took the iron pliers and removed the fine iron horseshoe from the hoof of the pure-blood elf war horse, and then used the iron pliers
It was thrown to the ground, and a small iron hook was skillfully held in Julius's hand. His movements were very quick to help the war horse quickly clean up a lot of mud, weeds and attachments accumulated inside the horse's hooves.
"Eh~~~" the war horse neighed excitedly. It felt so good to have its hooves cleaned!
After cleaning the horseshoes, Julius's forehead was already sweating, but he kept moving. The small iron hook was thrown to the ground again, and the iron pliers were picked up again. This time Julius would
All the blackened and aged cuticles on the horse's hooves were cut off with iron pliers, and then a small brush was taken out and a new horseshoe was taken out and nailed to the horse.
"咴咴咴~" After changing a round of horseshoes, the pure-blood elf war horses all screamed happily. Julius's SPA was still so comfortable.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning when he finished this round of work. Julius was so hot that he was sweating. His brother-in-law had just sat down to rest for a while when he noticed a person standing outside the stable.
"I have to say, Yuri, you are already a qualified groom." Fulgrim, who had just returned from Hesiota, smiled meaningfully and said to his brother-in-law: "I announce that I will award you the annual award of the Ashes Legion.
The title of advanced groom."
"..." Julius has been following Fulgrim for a long time, and he is becoming more and more taciturn now (because after following Fulgrim for a long time, he feels that many of his ideas are childish and many of his actions are stupid), although he regards Fulgrim as a leader in his heart.
, his mentor and brother came to see him, Julius exhaled a breath subconsciously, and just made a gesture, indicating that he could just say if he had anything to do.
"Why, not satisfied?" Fulgrim was still teasing his relatives. He smiled sincerely and showed his teeth. The handsome star-like eyes of the Emperor's Son were full of endless pride, wildness, and extraordinaryness.
With such charm, even the sun of Lustria lost its light in Fulgrim's smile: "Or, if I give you a title, what do you think of 'Avoid Horse Plague'?"
Julius still can't look directly at Fulgen's bright smile. He always feels that his heart will speed up involuntarily and the blood circulation on his face will increase: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, Legion Commander."
"Hurry up and finish things here. I've brought you new news." Fulgen's expression became serious: "We will meet at my villa at noon."
Julius nodded.
There's a war again!
At noon, in Fulgrim's seaside villa, all the senior leaders of the Ash Legion sat down to discuss the new war threat.
Attending the meeting were: Legion Commander Fulgen, Deputy Legion Commander and Phoenix Guard Captain Pirazzo, Chasseur Commander Julius, Chief Magical Advisor Golden Wizard, Chief Engineer Jerrick Grimm, Wood Elf Princess Carlo
Na, General Political Commissar Harlan Sanders (formerly known as Lev-
Davidovich), former Estalia General Pedro, former Imperial General Weidenfeller, former Kislev Marshal Egorov, Hussar Cheka Special Forces Commander Iron Felix, Hunter
Demon Master Hertwig, Halfling Expedition Captain Hapi, etc.
The Ash Legion now has 40,000 troops. Through his charm, strong personal ability, and prestige, Fulgrim has gathered these humans (?) from all over the world and firmly united them together.
However, what they are about to face now is a huge crisis.
"According to the information received from Mazda Moody, the leader of the lizardmen in Hethiota, the Demon Toad Lord Mazda Moody, there are three evil armies that are rapidly approaching us." Fulgrim explained the situation to everyone, the Ash Legion
The legion commander really felt in trouble this time.
A huge map was hung behind Fulgrim. He pulled out a baton and pointed to the north: "In the north, a large group of Chaos troops are gathering, forming an army of tens of thousands. They come from
In the northern wasteland, a bloody road was carved out in Nagaros until
The dark elves reached a reconciliation with them - the dark elves made way for them to continue to attack us south, and these cunning dark elves also announced an alliance with Chaos, serving as the guide, scout and backbone of this legion. Every dark elf
Was promised a hundred slaves."
"The leader of this wandering army is named Vaishna - the World Destroyer. He rides a black dragon - Midnight Shadow. Their only goal is to burn the entire Lustria to ashes."
After everyone heard the news, they cursed, cursing the dark elves and the Chaos army for their unlucky deaths. The dwarf great engineer Jerrick Grim of Haimen Pass even went crazy after saying "Grimnir is here!"
He spoke in dwarf language so fast that no one could understand what he was saying.
"The lizardmen promised to help us deal with this army, and the second army is our old opponent, that is Skok, the great warlord of the Skaven Plague Clan. After the last failure, he is back."
Fulgrim calmly said to everyone: "They will come from the south and attack me.
They launched an attack, and we still don’t know how many enemies there will be. Tehenhuoyin, the snake god of the lizardmen, promised to try his best to help us stop most of the Skaven. However, we still have to face a considerable number of Skaven.
Carven army, be prepared, the Skaven won't even take any prisoners."
"Why do bad things always appear together?" Pirazzo said with dark humor: "Is my beard not shaped right today?"
"All rats deserve to die." Chief Political Commissar Lev stroked his beard: "I will use the New Orleans barbecue method I recently invented to roast these rats into dried rats."
"In addition to these two groups, I got news that there is another army that will also participate in this siege, and that is Luther Haken, the undead pirate king we have fought against before." Fulgan pointed directly to the ocean: "Obviously he is still
Will try to recover the stone slab that was stolen from us."
"Very good, very good. Now, all our enemies have gathered together, let us solve all threats once and for all." Julius felt the blood surging throughout his body, and he couldn't wait.
"If this is the case, our 40,000 people may not be enough to defend Kostantiniya." Master Jin is not optimistic about this battle: "If the opponent attacks at the same time, we will inevitably divide into three lines of defense. Then,
Our 40,000 troops will be dispersed in large numbers, and facing a three-pronged attack will also subject our defense line to the most severe test."
"Yes, that's right." Fulgen nodded lightly: "Therefore, we must have a plan."
"Legion Commander, what wonderful plan do you have? Tell Habib, Habib wants to hear it!" The halfling jumped up and down excitedly: "Can you tell Habib?"
"There are no concrete plans yet, I only have a few rough ideas." Forgan shook his head: "But Karim is right, we can't sit in Kostantiniya and wait for the three armies to come. My opinion
Yes, we must act in advance."
"Operation? You mean, Army Commander, let's deal with the enemies along the way first?" General Political Commissar Harlan Sanders looked at the map carefully: "But if we send troops in advance, how can we ensure the defense of Kostantiniya?
?”
"It depends on the speed of the three armies and some of our methods." Fulgen focused his attention on the map: "It seems that the three parties have reached an agreement to jointly launch an attack, but assuming that our small army and the lizards
We can make allies and temporarily help us hold down some of the enemies, so we can focus our energy first and solve the problem along the way."
"How we choose our enemies will be the key to our victory." Fulgan suddenly laughed: "ies!"
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately began to discuss who should be dealt with first. Most of them thought of Chaos or the Undead Pirates. It seemed that everyone was troubled by the Skaven plague.
"Don't make a decision in a hurry now." Fulgen shook his head: "We still have time. What we should do now is collect more information. The existing information is too little."
After arranging for everyone to send out their own manpower to strengthen the reconnaissance, start to strengthen the outer fortifications of the stronghold and prepare for war, everyone temporarily dispersed the meeting.
The wood elf princess Karona seemed to want to stay. After everyone left one after another, she stayed in Fulgan's villa as if she had something to say. However, Fulgan smiled and shook his head: "No, at least not now, I have something else to do.
Karona, you first take people to the south to conduct reconnaissance, meet with the Serpent God Legion of Sotek God Chosen Tehenhoin, and learn about the movements of the Skaven."
"Okay." Karona also knew that now was not the time to be willful, so she snorted aggrievedly and stepped out.
Fulgrim was the only one left in the villa, and the Primarch of the Emperor's Son stood there looking at the map without saying a word.
Fulgrim knew very well that the situation he was facing was very serious.
The deal between the Emperor and the Toad did not include the protection of Sanguinius... The Lizardmen would only assist in this battle and would not fight to the death for the survival of Costantiniya. The real battle must be ashes.
The army resisted.
What's worse is that Fulgen has a vague feeling in his heart, that is, outside of these three forces, there must be a group of enemies hidden deeper, and they are secretly leading everything. But Fulgen is in the open, and they are secretly. This
This is doomed to Fulgen's passivity.
How do we first concentrate our forces to gain an advantage? How do we turn passivity into initiative?
Fulgrim frowned because he still had too little information on hand.
At this moment, golden light lit up in the room, a pair of holy wings spread out, pointing straight to the ceiling, and the golden virtual image of Sanguinius was revealed. He looked at his brother with a smile: "You seem to be troubled.
,Brother, I may have to apologize to you because I caused you trouble."
"It's not your problem, Sanguinius." Fulgrim then noticed that the Sunfire Talisman hanging on his waist lit up. Seeing Sanguinius's smile, Fulgrim forced out a smile: "This is
It’s destined, if it doesn’t come now, it will come sooner or later.”
"It's really amazing that you can manage these chaotic people with different races and cultural beliefs." Sanguinius's expression was sincere and sincere: "At least I can't do it. It was Guilliman who was managing these in the first place."
"It's actually not difficult." Fulgrim shook his head slightly: "It just requires some skills. Just wait, Sanguinius, and I will celebrate your resurrection with the most beautiful battle."
However, it was Sanguinius's turn to shake his head: "Don't think about solving the problem by fighting a beautiful and perfect battle. Brother, you have to be prepared for this battle to be very difficult. I have a hunch that it will be very difficult.
Are you ready to take the Ashes to fight for your life?"
"Premonition?" Fulgen's heart suddenly moved: "What premonition? Can you explain everything clearly? Brother?"
"I saw a blurry image. In the image, he was dueling with you..."
