Warhammer: Start with a dog

The morning star rises, the evening star hangs low, the nightingale sleeps, and the flowers bloom. The sky was gradually dimmed by the rosy dawn again, and the blood-red cracks were temporarily obscured by the bright light in the planet's atmosphere.

Ultimately, no one knows what the black-and-white border collie and his noble eldest brother talked about that day in the twilight gardens of Silver Moon Palace in Avalons.

But what was later known from a handful of top-secret documents was that the Lion was not alone when Leon El'Jonson left the ancient glass and wood arch of Twilight Gardens.

Only the black and white animal with a long white mane advanced alongside him. Although the lion princes roared again, the lion himself told his sons and his honor guard an order that was even more difficult for them to accept.

"There is no need to worry about his reliability or my safety, because from this moment on, you must regard him as myself." The lion's green eyes stared at everyone's eyes or eyepieces to ensure the meaning of his words. and a completely clear and autonomous will that can be conveyed into the heart and mind of the listener. “Without disrespect and without doubt, obey his instructions as you would obey my words.”

"With all due respect, Your Highness," Knight Commander Kai was still the first to speak. He stared at the back of the shepherd's head and moved his fingers back and forth on the hilt of his sword. Apparently, he was stunned by the glare of the black and white dog. Being so frightened that he stood frozen in place has since become an indelible stain on the service career of this proud peacock-like member of the Heavenly Army - mainly because there were three colleagues, two mortals and the master of the First Army present at the time. Witnessed the whole process. "How do we understand a... dog? I think this should be a dog. Your Highness, how do we follow his instructions? Maybe you can teach your sons with your wisdom accumulated over thousands of years?"

The others did not echo Kai's slightly deliberately exaggerated question, but the different subtle expressions on their faces also explained their attitudes.

"First of all, it seems that you are now as good-tempered as a kind grandfather, so that your descendants can talk like this in front of you without worrying about their heads; secondly, I don't know if there are any other descendants among your descendants. Only so suitable for a peacock who dyes his hair completely white.”

A majestic voice that rumbled like a summer ocean thunderstorm echoed teasingly under the sandstone dome of the corridor. The lion's face showed an indescribable "Didn't we agree that you should stop talking?" look.

The knight commander jumped back half a step with an agility that was far out of proportion to his huge body. His toes were pointed at his target with a precise posture. At the same time, he drew out his power sword, and the sound of breaking up the position was heard. .

"Who the hell are you!!!" he shouted alertly, "How on earth did you confuse the Lion of Caliban? Let him vouch for his honor for an alien like you? No, I don't want to know. , I think we should knock you down first——"

Scarlet Whisper's plasma gun charging sound also sounded "timely" from the side, indicating that he didn't mind repeating a proper side shot.

Among the four Dark Angels, only Zabriel still keeps his weapon in its sheath, but his behavior seems to be more due to his trust in the Lion King and his natural cautious character.

"Watch your words, boy." The dog curled up his big fluffy tail with a white tip, "Leon, you don't mind if I warm up with your lovely sons?"

"...I can find very few sons these days."

The four-legged canine creature's overly familiar, casual, and egalitarian address to the Lord of the First Army left the others stunned, and Avoca placed a hand on Lohawk's gun arm.

"Aha, okay, I understand," the dog bared one of his canines, which seemed to be a bloodthirsty smile, "dare to challenge me, boy, there has been no one as reckless as you in many years, why can't you do it today?" It would be an honor to fight with me!"

Then everyone present was once again fortunate to witness the whole process of how an unarmed and pampered black and white pet dog used his snow-white paws to beat up a knight commander of the Heavenly Army who had fought in the Ran Dan War.

The big sword cannot brush the dog's body at all. Some people may say that it is normal to brush the tip of the hair, but the problem is that this dog seems to be able to completely predict the opponent's movements and appear in impossible positions. Kai's superb steps and His skillful sword moves were so rhythmic that he was practicing with this dog for a quick show jumping contest.

When the pads of the dog's hind paws hit Kai's back hard again, his armored reactor groaned under strain, and then - that thing - the ancient thing that had worked well during hundreds of years of wandering. The reactor - finally coughing up a bit of flame and ozone - shut down.

Due to the shutdown of his power armor's energy source, the Knight Commander's movements inevitably lag at the level of a few microseconds, which may be undetectable to both the Space Marines themselves and their enemies. This is already very impressive, but Petula The expo said——

"Too slow! Knight Commander Kai!" The shepherd's dog-smelling meat pad kicked him in the face. The rich and thick smell of the rough plush meat pad warmly covered the unlucky man. The strong dog smell from the ghost's mouth and nose directly impacted the enhanced taste detection nerves of Astartes. Later, Kai described it to others, "I really felt like I saw all the brothers I knew turned into The dog even stepped on my face" - and then the huge impact made his reinforced cervical vertebrae make a terrible clicking sound. Kai was kicked out with his body armor, and he stopped until he hit the wall. Coming down, the weathered sandstone fragments from the top fell rustlingly on his black armor.

Avoca rushed over, while Scarlet Whisper stood vigilantly with a gun between the upright dog and his brother whose life or death was uncertain. It could be seen that the cooperation between the three of them had gone through a long period of tacit understanding.

The male lion turned his attention directly to the brother who sat down, opened his long mouth, stuck out his red tongue and began to pant.

Oh my God, Leon El'Jonson once again thought about the ultimate end of the universe and the meaning of life. Father, why do you allow us to have so many possibilities and such... brothers? Even the shortcomings you left us with and the remnants of an old empire filled with ignorance and god-worship now seem less depressing in comparison.

"First of all, I saved his life. Secondly, I was able to blow his head and spine out with the first blow. Finally, this is how dogs sweat. Leon, you'd better get used to it. If you can't see If you are used to it, you can arrange for two servants to follow me and clean the floor for me anytime and anywhere. I am happy to see this happen - even more so if you can arrange two Dark Watchers - "

"Ahem, why, you just beat one of my heirs and you are already sweating? P——Kaidomo."

"Then how many times can you hit at one time if you are so mature?" The dog responded mercilessly.

Then he immediately said, "Okay, if you want to chat while drinking coffee, you can do it after that. We have to catch the shuttle now."

"That's it." Leon turned to his sons. Although Kai's life signal showed that he was comatose but stable, the lion also slightly lowered his guard against Perturabo. "Come on, we still have a naval battle to fight. Woolen cloth."

Gua.

Strange rule: It is a good thing for a black and white dog to ignore you, and you can even take the opportunity to pet him. But if you insist on arousing the black and white dog's interest...
