Under the not-too-effective scrutiny of Inquisitor Greyfax and her Deathwatch bodyguards, Lord Trazyn has departed for the world of has been finalized, for the most part. Who else?" the Dark Angel asked in a low growl.
"Orks, Necrons, Tyranids, maybe a C'tan or two. Not all voluntary, of course. So Eldar gods and Avatars might want revenge too, and the yet-living pantheons of dead races might join as well. The Rashan and the Jokaero also have nice tech, while the Hrud make excellent cannon fodder. It's going to be a bloodbath anyways, might as well reduce competition for humanity, right?" I proposed with a shrug.
Khan just gazed at with his deadly eyes, while the Lion focused entirely on the strategy itself, frowns deepening on his face as he went over potential allies and the obvious difficulties in managing a concerted attack.
"Such an attack will be noticed before we even depart. They'll be ready for us, no matter where we erge. And then... they will react with infiltrators, disinformation, subterfuge, starting conflicts and spreading mistrust, not that it would even be possible to create trust. We'd need multiple fronts to separate the armies, and lose timing and organization." The Lion concluded after a minute of rapid analysis.
Well, he wasn't wrong, of course. Logistics was the bane of every war, and enemy armies could not be expected to work and march together. Except in special cases.
I snapped my fingers and moved us from the main spire to my Black Lant, inside the lee practice arena. Standing straight and unmoving, a hundred Ork Bosses glared at us with hate and scorn in their eyes, yet kept locked inside their bodies by the Necron mind-shackles. "Bow!" I commanded out loud.
A hundred green and toothy faces bowed low, to prove my point to the two Primarchs.
"Mind control. I expect it works on Tyranids as well?" Khan asked in a curious voice, while examining the captured Orks with a wide grin.
"Nothing complex, and nothing in large numbers. But the synaptic controllers do direct the others, much like these Orks do. As for multiple fronts, there will be a helpful Necron to provide dinsional pockets to store and release these armies in the right place.
He is a backstabbing insane robot, but he did kill Khorne not long ago. Just need to point him at our common enemy, and watch our backs. Not that different from the Eldar, after all." I answered with a level voice, just as Inquisitor Ramaeus teleported beside us.
"The Black Templars are coming too. And a dozen other of Dorn's Chapters." she announced in a calm voice, while nodding politely at the two brothers and kinda ignoring . What did I do?
The two Primarchs glanced at each other again. "This might work after all." Khan mused to himself, while his brother nodded.
"Just don't ask to fight side by side with the xenos." Lion El'Johnson concluded in a sad voice.
I personally would feel much safer surrounded by Orks than by his Dark Angels, so I generously agreed.
Now, recruiting all the other races would be more delicate, so I smiled at the Ordo Xenos Inquisitor. She could handle the Eldar again.
