 Bitterest Hate

What could have caused a Primarch, especially one as renowned for his single-minded loyalty as Leman Russ, to act in less than full accord with the orders of the Emperor? Much has been made in past treatise of the persuasiveness of the newly anointed Warmaster, seeking to place the blame for this corruption of the fleets orders on his shoulders alone. Such revisionist theories ignore a number of other potential causes, seeking favour with the courts of Terra by idealising those Primarchs who would later fight on the Loyalist side, and are a dangerous conceit for a scholar. It is well recorded in the records of those nearforgotten years that Leman Russ bore little love for his learned brother, whose 'sorceries' he saw as a potential threat to the Imperium. Indeed, the two had quarrelled on a number of occasions, and at the Council of Nikaea Russ been one of Magnus' most vehement detractors. Not only this, but it was an open secret within the ranks of the Divisio Militaris that the Space Wolves had served many times not just as one of the vanguards of the Great Crusade, but also as one of the Emperor's preferred weapons against traitors and turncoats. It was a task for which they were eminently suited as they stood apart in many ways from their fellow Legions and the hosts of the Imperium alike, courting neither comradeship nor ties of direct fealty save to the Emperor Himself. Building no nations and garrisoning few worlds, they were not the ones to raise fortresses or offer martial example to others, directing armies or standing proudly in the heart of the fires of battle. Instead they remained —as their common name implied— a predator prowling the outer darkness, beholden to but one master. The Space Wolves Legion was truly a force that had been moulded for a single purpose—to destroy utterly any threat deemed dangerous enough to warrant their attention.

是什么导致一位原体——尤其是像黎曼 鲁斯这样一位因一心一意的忠诚而著称的原体没有完全按照帝皇的命令行动?在过去的许多关于被新任命的战帅(荷鲁斯)的说服力的论述中,人们试图将(惩戒)舰队命令的腐化变质归咎于荷鲁斯一人。这些修正主义的理论忽视了很多其他的潜在原因,它们试图通过理想化那些后来成为忠诚派的基因原体来帮助泰拉议会,对于一位学者而言,这是种危险的狂妄。来自那些近乎被遗忘的岁月中的记录文件清楚地记载着:黎曼 鲁斯对于他那位博学的兄弟几乎毫无友爱,两者在很多场合都争吵过,而且在尼凯亚会议中,鲁斯也是马格努斯最为言辞激烈的毁谤者之一。不仅如此,太空野狼很多时候不仅充当着大远征的先锋,也是帝皇对付叛徒逆贼时最偏好的武器之一,这在军务厅的部队中是个公开的秘密。太空野狼们也非常适合这项任务,因为他们以很多方式疏远自己的兄弟军团和类似的帝国部队,野狼们既不会设法获取手足之谊,也不会希冀效忠于帝皇之外的任何人。他们不列封土,也几乎不在(其他)世界上驻军,他们不起要塞,也不会以指导军队或高傲地屹立在战火中心的方式来为其他人树立尚武的榜样。相反,就像他们通常的名字所暗示的那样,他们仍然是一群在外界黑暗中徘徊的捕食者,而且只效忠于一位主人。太空野狼军团事实上就是为了一个单独的目标而铸就的——彻底毁灭任何让他们觉得危险到足以引起他们注意的威胁。

The deliberate selection of Leman Russ and his Space Wolves as the core force of the censure might be seen by some as tacit approval from the Emperor for the destruction of Prospero, a means to remove a threat while remaining outwardly benevolent, despite the wording of His official order. To others it seems simply the prudence of selecting a force that would not baulk for a moment at any order, however bloody or unthinkable, even one to slay brother Legiones Astartes. The fact remains in any case that having commanded a number of expeditions to remove threats from within the Imperium whose details yet remain hidden to this day, the implications of the Space Wolves' selection for the Censure force is something that Leman Russ cannot fail to have understood.

将黎曼 鲁斯和他的太空野狼军团作为惩戒核心部队这一有意的选择可能被某些人视为帝皇对于毁灭普罗斯佩罗的默认,这是一种在保持外表仁慈的同时消除威胁的手段,尽管带有帝皇官方命令的措辞。对其他人而言,帝皇似乎仅仅是谨慎地选择一支在任何面对任何命令时都不会有片刻犹豫的部队,尽管这条命令可能血腥或难以置信,哪怕是要让他们去屠杀兄弟阿斯塔特军团。无论如何,事实依旧存在:黎曼 鲁斯曾经指挥过多次旨在消除帝国内部威胁的远征,而且其细节至今都被隐藏着;黎曼 鲁斯也明白帝皇选择将太空野狼军团编入惩戒部队的暗示。


机仆:这是给《普罗斯佩罗之焚》和《千子》打广告啊…😂

荷秃子表示自己虽然是战帅也是大哥,但普星这口黑锅得二狗子自己背。

看了hh7,只觉得鲁斯在谐星道路上如喝多了蜜酒的蛮牛般一路狂奔
