Chapter 651: For Ruth and Allfather
Above Fenris, the Hrafinkle, belonging to the Space Wolves of the 6th Legion of the Imperial Space Marines, was quietly docked in the planet's orbit.
This huge battleship is like a steel fortress, exuding majesty and power.
The Hrafinkel was a highly modified Glorious Queen-class battleship, the pride of the Space Wolves and their flagship during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.
This warship has witnessed countless fierce battles and glorious victories, and its name has become a symbol of glory for the Space Wolves Legion.
The Hrafinkel dates back to the distant past, being one of the first and largest of the Queen Glorious-class battleships built.
Ancient documents recorded by the scribes of the Sixth Legion give incredible descriptions of the Hrafinkel's enormous size.
Its existence is like a mobile city, with powerful firepower and solid defense system, which can easily destroy any enemy.
The decor and furnishings of the Hrafinkel's interior strongly reflect the culture of the Space Wolves.
Leman Russ had his own room on the ship, a dark and gloomy place called "Wolf Hall".
It is full of primitive atmosphere, and the walls are hung with various trophies and souvenirs, showing his glory and achievements.
However, despite the Hrafinkel's great power, Russ rarely commanded it himself.
Only in extremely dire situations or when involved in a vital operation would he board the ship and lead his wolf pack into battle.
As a gray-white monster ship, the Hrafinkel left a deep impression on people.
It was huge and powerful, and every time it appeared, it shocked people. In the operation to destroy Prospero, the Hrafinkel showed its unparalleled power and completely crushed the Thousand Sons Legion led by Magnus.
During the Horus Heresy, the Hrafinkel was severely damaged during the Battle of the Alexis Nebula.
She later engaged the Vengeful Spirit in the Battle of Trisolian, and although she was badly damaged she managed to escape.
"The Codex Astartes? Damn the Codex."
Gunnar Gunhilt, captain of the First Company of the Space Wolves, had a red face and a strong smell of alcohol. He stood staggering in front of the banquet table and roared loudly.
"Let us welcome! The arrival of our Primarch Father!"
"For Ruth and the All-Father!"
Gunnar raised his wine glass high and shouted drunkenly at the ten Space Wolves Space Marines around him.
The Space Marines of the Space Wolves Legion around them also seemed a little drunk. They couldn't wait to pick up their glasses and then shouted at the same time as if responding to Gunnar: "For Russ and the All-Father!"
"Welcome back our Gene Father!"
After saying this, Gunnar raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. There was more than a liter of wine in the glass, and it was the strong-flavored Fenris honey wine.
The other Space Wolves Legion's Space Marines followed suit, gulping down the wine in their glasses and shouting with excitement.
The entire banquet hall was filled with noise and chaos, as if it was a carnival party.
Gunnar Gunhilt is a legendary figure among the Space Wolves Chapter, known as "The Hilt of Russ" or "Lord Gunn".
He possesses strong fighting power and excellent leadership skills, and is deeply respected by the legion members.
As Lord of the First Company, Gunnar Gunhilt holds an important position within the Legion and is renowned for his fearless courage and unwavering faith.
Despite his unfriendly relationship with Russ, Gunnar Gunhilt accompanied him during the meeting out of loyalty to his Primarch.
During the Battle of the Araxes Nebula, Gunnar Gunhilt fought alongside his Primarch, demonstrating unparalleled courage and determination.
However, this battle made Russ feel discouraged and he even stayed indoors.
Faced with this dilemma, Gunnar Gunhilt was entrusted with the responsibility of leading the legion.
As time went on, Gunnar Gunhilt gradually lost faith in his Primarch.
He began to question the decisions and actions of the Primarchs, believing that their strategies and tactics no longer adapted to changes on the battlefield.
This disappointment caused Gunnar Gunhilt to worry about the future of the Chapter.
However, when the Primarch reappeared to lead the Legion, Gunnar Gunhilt's confidence was restored.
In the final breakout attempt, Gunnar Gunhilt made a heroic decision.
He chose to sacrifice himself and his ship Ragnarok to use them to destroy the Alpha Legion ship Delta, buying the fleet more time.
"Hahahahaha! Let our gene father feel our enthusiasm!"
"Try these! Eat as much as you want at today's banquet!"
Countless Space Wolves Legion warriors were eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking happily with their wine glasses raised high.
"Click..."
With a crisp sound, the huge metal door slowly opened, and a tall figure slowly stepped into the huge banquet hall.
He was none other than Leman Russ. As the Primarch of the Space Wolves Legion, his arrival instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Hail our Father Primarch! Hail our Great Emperor!"
The Space Marines of the surrounding Space Wolves Legion stopped what they were doing, looked at Leman Russ who walked into the banquet hall, and then shouted at the same time while raising their glasses.
Their voices were deafening, filled with reverence for the Primarch and devotion to the Emperor.
"This is your Legion, the 6th Legion, the Space Wolves."
Yang Cheng pointed to the many Space Marines in front of him, then turned and spoke to Leman Russ.
"Father, they have the flavor of Fenris. Also, the decoration of this warship is similar to the culture of Fenris."
Leman Russ looked at the Space Marines, and then at the decorations on the walls of the surrounding banquet hall.
"Because I built it according to your genes, so you will naturally feel familiar with it." Yang Cheng evaded the question.
"That's it..."
Leman Russ smiled a barely perceptible smile, but it was quickly hidden beneath his savage appearance.
"Then tonight! Let me see how powerful my offspring are!"
"To Fenris! To the Space Wolves!"
Leman Russ picked up a two-meter-high wine barrel, then held it high and shouted to everyone.
"Cheers to Fenris! Cheers to our Legion!"
Countless Space Wolves Legion Marines, dressed like Viking warriors, shouted at the same time.
Then, Leman Russ picked up the barrel of wine like a barbarian and poured it into his mouth.
