Chapter 221: Chapter 220: Permission to Warp, May Fortune Favor You (Part 1)
Inside the Iron Guard Fortress.
Even though Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian had comforted themselves in their hearts more than once.
And had tried every possible way to find excuses for themselves more than once.
But when a few ‘Krorks’ also appeared before their eyes, the two could no longer deceive themselves.
This Sith Legion could be anything, but it damn well shouldn’t be the Imperial Army!
Here to offer birthday greetings?
Since the God-Emperor and Guilliman haven’t said anything, fine! I accept it!
But greenskins?!
And dozens of greenskins that looked more like ‘Krorks’ the more they looked at them, and you’re telling me this damn thing is also the Imperial Army?!
It’s not?
If that’s the case, then all this time we’ve been fighting the greenskins, it’s been a damn ‘civil war’?!
Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian really couldn’t understand it, and their faces turned completely dead after seeing the ‘Krorks’ on the other side.
Of course, the ones on the other side weren’t Krorks yet, they were still far from it.
But when they actually started to move beyond the scope of conventional greenskins and approached the Krorks.
Even if it was just the first step of a long evolution, the implications of this first step alone were enough to send shivers down the spines of Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian.
Even the moment these rudimentary ‘Sith Krorks’ appeared, those two pairs of eyes that had recently lost interest in Sith, after Slaanesh and the God-Emperor had just forcibly pierced the hive mind, had also expended great effort to pierce the Shadow in the Warp.
Just to catch a glimpse of the ‘Siths Boyz’ who hadn’t appeared for a long time, had been carefully kept in the back by Sith, and had finally cooked up something big!
And then…
Upon confirming that their greenskins had truly embarked on the ‘Path of the Krorks’ once again, Gork and Mork forcibly tore open the Shadow in the Warp while frantically bestowing blessings upon Sith.
What?
You say Sith is a human?
Would it be bad for Gork and Mork to do this?
They’ve already got the greenskins back on the ‘Path of the Krorks’, would Gork and Mork care about that?!
And just because you say Sith is a human, he’s a human?
Then I say he has always been the most Waaagh! Gork and Mork chosen one in my greenskin family!
It’s just that the shameless God-Emperor saw that he looked more ‘gentle’ than other greenskins and forcibly kidnapped him from the greenskin family!
It took so many years for Gork and Mork to find their long-lost, unrelated, yet dear child!
This perfect family reunion of the greenskins—anyone who dares to come out and talk nonsense at this time, even the God-Emperor would get two slaps!
Only when they were sure that the green light on Sith had overwhelmed Slaanesh’s pink light did Gork and Mork satisfy themselves and retreat.
Leaving the hive mind to ‘angrily’ repair the Shadow in the Warp that had just been pierced by the God-Emperor and Slaanesh.
I guess it can be considered angry…
Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian thought silently; after all, from the time Sith arrived at Sanctuary Star until now, it had only been a day, and the Tyranid Swarm had already collectively shrieked for the second time.
Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian were even wondering if, if Sith fought the Tyranids a bit more, would he really beat the Tyranids into evolving ’emotions’?
Seeing Gork and Mork retreat, and their hard-woven Shadow in the Warp being pierced repeatedly for fun by these evil gods, the Tyranid Swarm became even more detached from instinct and inclined towards emotional attacks.
Even after confirming that the Gork and Mork blessing was on Sanctuary Star, the Tyranid Swarm actually started to charge in, ignoring the bombardment from the Imperial Fleet and disregarding casualties.
As for how the Tyranids discovered the Gork and Mork blessing was on Sanctuary Star…
Perhaps the Imperial Guardsmen outside the Iron Guard Fortress, who were watching the mountains behind them start to faintly turn green, could help explain it to the Tyranids.
This Gork and Mork forcibly pouring blessings into Sith had actually turned the mountain above Sith’s head green!
Sith hadn’t expected Gork and Mork’s reaction to be so intense, so he could only smile awkwardly in front of Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian, whose eyes were darting around, refusing to look at him…
After all, there was so much blessing that even Sith couldn’t hide it quickly.
Then, deep inside the Iron Guard Fortress, amidst the embarrassment of all the humans, including Sith himself, a group of people with faces full of green light and expressions as ugly as could be forced themselves to focus only on the current battle.
“I will deploy this batch of… human subspecies… among the greenskins.”
Lorgar Aurelian and Leontus lowered their heads, but their eyelids couldn’t help but twitch.
Then, not knowing whether they were responding to Sith or themselves, they just nodded gently.
“Fine, if you say they are human subspecies, they are human subspecies.”
“After all, at this point, even if you insisted on pointing at them and calling them humans, we would have to accept it!”
Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian didn’t speak, just complained in their hearts.
Then Sith, covered in green light, continued to speak in an atmosphere where everyone pretended to be blind:
“Although there are only a few dozen of them, these few dozen ‘people’ will be evenly distributed among the various scattered greenskin tribes.”
“And after becoming the bosses of these tribes, they will consolidate the greenskin forces near Sanctuary Star.”
“During this period, I need the Imperial Army to stop attacking the greenskins and directly deploy a large number of old, damaged warships into the greenskin tribes.”
“If conditions permit, it would be best if these warships were filled with all kinds of industrial waste and discarded machinery.”
Sith spoke without feeling there was any problem, while Lorgar Aurelian and Leontus opposite him didn’t even dare to look at Sith.
The two even tilted their heads and closed their eyes, nodding continuously as they listened to Sith switching between ‘people’ and ‘greenskins’.
“So, I will eventually leave half of the old warships from the fleet, and combined with the green friendly forces, the Sanctuary Star defense line shouldn’t be broken in one blow.”
“And I don’t ask for absolute certainty, I only ask that you hold back the Tyranids for three months!”
“After three months, I will completely crush the third tentacle invading Terra!”
When Sith said this, Leontus and Lorgar Aurelian in front finally withdrew their gazes.
On the star map at this moment, as Sith continued to explain his plan, the original layout of the star map changed drastically.
Sanctuary Star received support from a large-scale old fleet, and at the same time, in front of their flank, an area of green friendly forces appeared to help Sanctuary Star share the pressure.
Coupled with Leontus’s Sunblade Fleet harassment tactics, at least based on the current data on paper, Sanctuary Star was no longer in a one-sided desperate situation.
At this time, Leontus couldn’t care about why those friendly forces were green; after looking carefully for a while, to the astonishment of Lorgar Aurelian, he pointed very seriously at the greenskin tribe that was about to be renamed ‘Sith’.
“Then can I mobilize this batch of green… friendly forces?”
Lorgar Aurelian was completely speechless, while Sith saw Leontus’s reaction and chuckled with approval.
Then he turned to look at the Black Gold Custodes beside him and randomly pointed out twenty people.
“The situation in Terra is complex, I will take Lorgar Aurelian with me.”
“During this time, I will dispatch twenty 101s to be responsible for your safety.”
“I will also make arrangements for the green friendly forces before I leave, and before I return, you will temporarily have command of these friendly forces.”
Receiving Sith’s assurance, although Leontus was surprised that the greenskins could be so obedient for once, he also let out a sigh of relief on the surface.
Finally, after confirming that there were no omissions in the specific combat plan, Sith finally stood up straight.
At the same time, looking at the twenty 101s left facing him and the Siths Boyz in the greenskin local area network, Sith paused for a moment and spoke solemnly to everyone:
“Three months later…”
“I will definitely return!”
