Warhammer: I don’t want to be a can of worms! ! !

Chapter 489 4.7 Unlucky Corax

【……】

【How are you? 】

【……】

【……not good. 】

Jaghatai was silent, and on the other end of the channel, Corax's tired, bloody whisper almost rang in the Khan's ears.

[Horus came, and I had a brief fight with him - thanks to Sage Trazyn, otherwise you would not be able to talk to me now,] Corax said word by word, [Horus Russ is an asshole, the most arrogant piece of trash in the galaxy. 】

Khan moved his mouth and said calmly,

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

[No,] the Lord of Shadows said simply, [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. If you come to stop me, then you are The second biggest bastard in the galaxy. 】

The Khan laughed quietly. He laughed dryly a few times, then stopped.

He leaned silently in front of the command podium. There was a rustling sound in the channel. Corax was also silent, but it sounded like the other end was cursing and bandaging the wound.

【I'm very sorry,】

The Khan said [attacking our brothers, this is not what I wanted, my warriors made a mistake, they relied too much on the Warmaster, the Warmaster gave them some unrealistic illusions. 】

[Haha,] Corax smiled mockingly, [At this point, I have nothing to laugh at you - my own heirs obey the Warmaster's orders and even betray us. 】

Khan scratched his head and stared at the fresh bullet marks on the command platform, which were the marks left by Juba Khan's bullets.

[What are you going to do now? 】

Jaghatai asked,

[Anywhere will do,] Corax's voice sounded tiredly, [I can't beat him, my legion can't beat his legion, damn, anywhere will do, I just want to find a place to repair the legion, not Being involved in inexplicable wars again and again. 】

Corax cursed again under his breath.

[Horus invited me to sit on his ship. 】

said the Khan, listening to the gloomy voice of Corax, which almost cursed the Khan,

【are you going? I mean - do you want me to take back what I just said about you being saved? 】

Chagatai pursed his lips and said,

[What was Horus like at that time? 】

【madman,】

Corax said, [Arrogant, bastard, title-dazzled man - far more evil and arrogant than the last time I saw him. 】

[He hates me and his brother. Horus is absolutely crazy. He no longer hides his hatred for me. He hopes to kill me. Khan, you must understand that before this, Horus Russ would still pretend to say hello to me for his damn title. 】

Khan listened carefully. On the other end of the channel, Corax smiled and coughed a few times.

[I could see that he was crazy and kept talking nonsense. He knew that I couldn't be won over, so he tried to get rid of me without hesitation.]

[Thanks to Trazin, he helped 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 Corax's words as if asking,

"It doesn't matter," said Corax, "it makes little difference to me whether Horus is mad or not. 】

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

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

The truth can only be seen clearly with your own eyes.

【I need to go and see,】

Chagatai said succinctly,

[I will make my own judgment at that time. 】

Even if Horus is really crazy, as a friend of Horus, Jaghatai must see the crazy Horus himself.

【good,】

The other end of the channel said, [There is nothing to talk about, Chagatai, I wish you good luck, we are about to retreat. 】

The Khan blinked in shock, "Where are you going, Corax?" 】

Corax laughed, "Anywhere, do I have to wait until White Scar and the Sons of Horus come to attack me before retreating?" 】

[In the name of Jaghatai Khan, White Scar will never attack the Raven Guard. 】

Corax took a deep breath, and he held his abdomen that was torn apart by the claws of Horus, which was still bright red.

[Okay, but I won't help you, help someone trying to find Horus. 】

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

He stopped,

[...If Horus is really crazy...]

[You should go find Sanguinius. 】

The Khan said, [Sanguinius, if Horus does go mad, only Sanguinius can stop him. 】

Corax joked, [Sanguinius? Hopefully Sanguinius won't tear me apart along with Horus. 】

【……】

Khan suddenly asked seriously,

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

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

[Then,] Khan frowned, [Then we need Sanguinius, or the Lord of Mankind. 】

Corax was silent, [Where should we find them? 】

Khan mused,

[Horus, Horus knows where to find them. The answer lies on the Spirit of Vengeance. The pilot of the Spirit of Vengeance definitely knows the way out of here - his subordinate Abaddon once told my warriors that they have the ability to leave. Here's the approach. 】

[Corax, I need to go to Horus for an invitation, you can follow me. 】

【……Then? 】

Corax asked softly,

[I will hold Horus while you go to his ship to find his pilots. 】

[I can indeed sneak into the Spirit of Vengeance...but...]

Corax said, "I won't go. 】

[Can you leave here? 】

Khan asked simply.

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

[...Then can you make sure to hold Horus? I mean, are you really sure you'll escape unscathed? You are going to die, Jaghatai. When you board the Spirit of Vengeance, the outcome has been decided. Either you surrender to him, or he kills you and seizes your army. 】

The Khan laughed;

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

[But...there is no other way,]

[We are not the only ones here, Corax. 】

The Khan told Corax exactly what the Stormseer had discovered.

[Strange...] Corax said, [This is so strange. Is this really possible? 】

【I am sure. 】

The Khan said, raising his eyes and staring at his Stormseers.

[Accompany me to visit the Spirit of Vengeance - Brother, we at least need to know how to get out of here, otherwise Horus can trap us here. 】

Nope, Merry Christmas!
