>>5159340"I knew. I knew that my true father, would be looking for me. That he would be intelligent enough and capable of finding me, and understanding me! I knew it when you talked that it was you, and not some imposter!" Perturabo says holding back tears.
"Where are my manners! You are my sons and I haven't even asked your names, all I know are call signs!" He says
"My own name is Perturabo, but I suspect you knew that." Perturabo says and this intrigues you that it seems that would have been his name.
"Ah! There is much we will need to talk about my son! And code name Rho: what is yours?" And the way he says my son cuts into you like a knife, but you show no tears. You remember what your father read to you as a child. And they sound so similar.
"Roboute Guilliman of Maccrage. 'Kappa' has been teaching me quite a bit about being a captain and managing a star ship." Roboute says. and you pause.
"Kappa: what is your name?" He asks.
"My name, is Kolinaisi Kaiko Wahthiri, Commandant of the Something Fierce of De'lormosa." You say.
"Commandant, that's better than captain." He says with a bit of humor.
"It comes with a nicer hat too." You say
"Ah yes. Some traditions are still held on to I see! And your other brother?"
"His name is Angron. The Undefeated of Nuceria"

"ONWARD!" You yell as your Palantini cavalry charges forward dealing with some of the advanced party.
Some, because if this is 'just' the advanced party then Kolinaisi had better had truly fixed cities defense.
The amount of people were astonishing. Sure your troops were better armed, better trained, and all around better men.
But this scouting party-
Had your men at 50 to 1.
A scouting party..
You had no time for one of the "doozies" as they had been come to be called as you could run most places fast enough on foot, running into their line and soaking the axe you were given in blood was enough to send most men back. Even this scouting party. And many did flee, but their sheer numbers and dedication was-- inhuman.
You looked past the troops. Their armor.
The way they were moving.
Something was in control of them, and wasn't bothering to take the time to fight your men that well. Of course they would die in droves if they had not free will! This was outrageous! If Kolinaisi where here he would be howling with rage as you were now.
Whatever was controlling them had to be nearby.
You pull out the tech scanner that your brother gave to you, and something is lightning it up like nothing you had ever seen.
"MEN ON ME! RIDE! RIDE WITH ME!" You shout and several of your best men line up with you as you hop on your incredibly modified pattern bike, which you are almost certain was meant to be meant to be a light cargo hauler, and your men charge.
