Chapter 1039 Iron Horses and Ice Rivers Come into Dreams: Chagatai Khan (IV)

[Prospero, located in the Extreme Star Region, was once a human world as precious as a ruby. ]

[In the past, under the careful maintenance of Magnus the Red and the Thousand Sons Legion, it not only collected the vast knowledge from countless worlds and even alien races in the entire galaxy, but also was the only holy place in the minds of countless psychics. ]

[However, when the orbital bombardment like a blazing fire covered the entire earth, the pyramids and magnificent libraries that stored countless precious knowledge also collapsed and destroyed. What remained here was only the charred and hot surface of the horror, and the endless lightning and psychic fluctuations covered countless building wreckage. ]

[In fact, even if you deeply understand how serious a mistake Magnus the Red made, and even because of this irreparable mistake, the other party had to step into the path of chaos. ]

[But only in the matter of destroying Prospero. ]

[You will still choose to stand on the side of Magnus and the Thousand Sons, rather than Wolf King Leman Russ and his Space Wolves. ]

[Because in your opinion, what was destroyed on Prospero was never just a Primarch who made a big mistake or even an Astartes Legion. ]

[It was the root of the human empire's soul that completely burned out the enterprising spirit of pursuing endless knowledge and the curiosity to explore all strange things! ]

[From this moment on, the human race fell into an irreversible chronic death, but this death process was forcibly delayed for tens of thousands of years by the Emperor on the Golden Throne. ]

[As time slowly passed, when a large number of White Scar ships successfully arrived at the planet Prospero. ]

[The first thing that appeared in your and the Khan's field of vision was a desolate world filled with chaotic psychic fluctuations, countless flames, smoke and charred ruins. ]

[At this moment, under your gaze, the Khan, who seemed to have no expression on his face, quickly issued a series of orders to other ships. ]

[A large number of White Scar fleets were immediately mobilized to surround the entire Prospero's near-Earth orbit. Countless light spear arrays and laser arrays were already aimed at the terrifying surface that was almost empty. ]

[And due to the repeated interference of countless broken terrains and even chaotic psychic energy, the detection equipment on any ship could not peek into the more real Prospero. ]

[So, after Khan had a discussion with you, the two of you decided to take the risk and set foot on the surface of Prospero that had not yet cooled down. ]

[Buzz buzz buzz——]

[Soon after, as a transmission beacon penetrated deep into the surface of the earth where countless smoke and sparks rose, you and Khan led twelve members of the Keshig Terminator Guard to Prospero. ]

[Looking around, you can only see countless smoldering charred building wreckage and huge smoke columns that stretch into the dark sky like tentacles through the eyepiece of the skull helmet. ]

[You lower your sight slightly, and you immediately see countless miserable mortal remains that have turned into charcoal, with their entire bodies curled up together, as well as the Thousand Sons Astartes who are still standing on the surface and have not fallen. ]

[Most of them are maintaining a certain rigid posture of casting spells, and some of the Thousand Sons seem to be undergoing flesh and blood mutations. Even after being roasted at high temperatures, you can still see their terrifying appearance of merging with Chaos Demons. ]

[There are also a few Thousand Sons Astartes who seem to be covering and directing countless mortal psykers to evacuate, but the large-scale orbital bombardment from the Space Wolves did not give these innocent lives any chance of survival. 】

【"I have detected a large number of nuclear explosions, some virus bombs that have been successfully dropped, and continuous orbital bombardment. It seems that Wolf King Leman Russ and his Space Wolves are worthy of the title of Emperor's executioner. They really have no humanity and mercy!"】

【At this moment, the Khan, whose huge body was illuminated by the lightning between countless dark clouds, said to you in a calm tone. 】

【You are driving the Vibranium Power Armor and stepping forward. You did not hear any yin and yang in the other party's tone, as if the other party was not mocking the Wolf King, but stating a simple and straightforward fact. 】

【And you, who know all the inside stories and the truth far better than the Khan now, did not say much. 】

【After all, pale words and truths often cannot replace the strong impact brought to you by the cruel reality in front of you. 】

【To some extent, is the practice of Wolf King Leman Russ and the Space Wolves wrong? Most likely, it is not wrong. 】

【The only mistake was that the Wolf King Leman Russ, who was always rough but meticulous in his work, did not doubt the series of orders issued by Horus. 】

【Even if the other party could ask the Horse Prime Minister or the Emperor in advance, or listen to Valdor's advice, many subsequent difficulties and problems could undoubtedly be avoided. 】

【From another perspective, from the perspective of Magnus and the Thousand Sons Legion, did they do anything wrong? 】

【From a practical perspective, they must have made many wrong choices. 】

【But even if Magnus accidentally caused the Emperor and the entire future of mankind to fail due to Tzeentch's misleading, as long as the other party can muster up the courage to take all responsibilities, and even take the initiative to admit his mistakes when the Wolf King Leman Russ arrives, will the Wolf King Leman Russ continue to execute the order to kill Magnus in front of countless descendants and even the commander of the Imperial Guards, Valdor? 】

【Maybe, maybe not, but if all of the above happened, then everything can still be saved anyway. 】

【But now it seems that everything is destined. 】

【Especially under the careful planning of the Four Chaos Gods, the Wolf King's overly wild and unrestrained personality traits and Magnus's spineless and cowardly character are simply incompatible, and under a series of coincidences and even secret catalysis, it eventually led to the tragic outbreak of the Burning of Prospero. 】

【At this moment, the low words from the Khan temporarily interrupted your slightly scattered thoughts. 】

【The other party ordered twelve Keshig Terminators to search for the underground passages throughout the city to see if they could find some survivors. 】

【After you and the Khan exchanged glances, you drew out your Azure Dragon Guandao and White Tiger Dadao respectively, and immediately activated your power armor, searching back and forth for any remaining traces of the battlefield in the countless smoldering ruins of buildings and the depths of layers of smoke. 】

【It was at this moment that you and the Khan actually saw the shattered souls of the Thousand Sons Astartes, which were extremely illusory and even vague, slowly wandering among the ruins of this destroyed city. They were either moving mechanically in a daze, or couldn't help but let out waves of ethereal crying sounds. 】

【This undoubtedly made the entire Prospero, where flames and smoke were rising endlessly, seem like a terrifying purgatory that had descended on the earth. 】
