I've heard rumor that even rescue swimmers are told to knock panicky mofos out if it makes it easier to save them from themselves and also to keep them from getting you killed too
Hell i doubt konrad would even speak to them but he'd definitely just attack immediately then torture people for a while before just exterminatusing the entire planet

Those fools were lucky it was Corvus. I highly admire and respect the man. Both he and Vulcan are the very few that embodies "Do not take my kindness for weakness". If it was the Lion who was there, those idiots would've been dust by now
When one of the rulers would still be on his "He is bluffing" monologue the Lion would already be "And boom goes the Exterminatus" and I love both the Lion and Corax's characters haha
One of the main gimmicks of the Corax is the utmost despise of any form of dictatorship and deep understanding of the "few must be sacrificed for many to thrive" principle, so his reaction here is nothing of surprise
@@kogorunI mean, back during the Crusade the Imperium was actually a pretty nice place to live in comparison to the rest of the galaxy, it’s only after the Heresy when the Emperor could no longer directly affect the course of humanity and Malcador was dead did the Imperium turn into a bloated dictatorship driven hell hole
His books are a delight. Dogfights Lighting Fighters at mach 3 with his jump-pack. Taking down multiple Defilers, with only his Claws, and preventing the Traitors from acquiring them for the Heresy. Making himself appear as a flock of Ravens, distracting Iron warriors and traitor Raven-guard, picking them up one by one with his Claws and dropping them from great heights. How he consistently ignores the forces and ONLY kills the Dictator/King/Governor/Ruling Council/Tyrant Using his gift to appear more or less threatening, appearing as a simple man, or a terrifying force of nature like Lightning, or Flocks of Ravens using his gift of Illusion. His "Respect" towards his loyalist brothers sons... He makes personal Threats, not his forces against his enemies. He commands his legion using Whispers and sighs, putting his Legionaries in positions to allow them to act independently of himself so he can go for the leader personally while preserving his forces.
@@codysing1223Also how he respects the lifes of the common folk, he, along with khan, Vulkan, Guillyman, Sanguinius, and (believe it or not) Ferrus, Pre heresy horus and fulgrim had great respect for the baseline human. If I'm not mistaken Corvus had no qualms about killing innocents if it was necessary to save more, but it always had the distinction of NECESSARY,, unlike Konrad who did it regardless and was always brutal
I hate him because his whole character is just be a massive hypocrite. It's almost as bad as Lemon Russ if not worse in some ways because at least most people understand why Lemon sucks.
@@toobig7150 He constantly portrays himself as a liberator while working for a Dictatorship who's main method of diplomacy is join us or die and only considers actual diplomacy if the cost of conquest is too high.

he's saying that while there are hundreds of Raven Guard already on the planet is the funniest thing every command bunker, general head quarters, leadership palaces are already been infiltrated, the leaders are gonna wake up the next day with the war already being over
"Have a care for we are closer than you think and our blades are sharp." -Kayvann Shrike, Master of Shadows former first captain of the ravenguard chapter in M42
It can be easy to forget, amidst all the stories of heroism and brotherhood by both the Primarchs and their sons, that the Grand Crusade was brutal and horrific with millions of worlds being told to surrender their freedoms to an immortal space dictator.
A primarch could absolutely take on a planet solo, 17/18 times that's what they did. But corvus isn't there to an unbeatable monster tearing down a system, hes there trying to convert them to the imperial system. And that means armies, marines, ships, shows of force, battles and warfare.
Ain’t really ruthless but Corvus is pretty brooding and serious as he’s known as the Liberator and only takes out those that require death in this case he told them to surrender and they didn’t
Angron,for all the damage caused by the butcher's nails,was the only one who saw right through it all: "Compliance or death is not liberation,,, it is slavery." Liberator indeed,,,
@@omegamark9178 It's either that. Or be enslaved by Chaos or Orks, Corax saw the Imperium as a lesser necessary evil at the time of 30K. He learned that lesson well when he nuked Kiavhar to win his war of liberation.
@@gamechanger8908 They literally kill multiple other option during the great crusade. Also even if that weren't that (case which it is) that doesn't explain how their cruelty is necessary.
@@shadowrobot7708 it’s not necessary. Some people have a hardon for the Imps so big it pierced their brain like a warthog’s tusks. The Emperor was never anything but a conqueror. His “unification” of Earth demonstrated that. Actually, come to think of it, he was a hypocrite, too; violating his own “Imperial Truth” by allowing the Mechanicus to worship him. Wiped out billions of human lives for the sake of annihilating superstition and worship, only to bow to superstition and accept worship when it was more convenient than butchery. As least orks are honest about what they’re about; Emperor trumps Tzeench in Xanatos bastardry.
It gets even better. Towards the end of the book, when Corvus lost severl of his sons to zombies and hearing theirs, a mass murderer on his home planet, he just basically takes control of the none compliant space station where one of the leaders is on and just tosses it to the sun and broadcasts their beggings and screams of pain for everyone to hear.
Corax has done the same as Sanguinius always gives a chance for compliance to imperial rule but if refuse the imperial rule will be enforce by military means
I find it so tragically comical how Corax, the "liberator", is in fact here essentially giving a bunch of humans here the ultimatum of "submit to rule of my fathers imperium or I will force you to submit with my army" and twists the words to make it sound like he's giving them a beneficent offer
Corax knew that there was no stopping the Crusade, that if it wasn't him it would be one of his brothers and he hoped that at the end of this road, after the Crusade, he could start fixing things. Better it be him, taking out the planetary leadership and leaving the common man alone, than say Angron or Kurze causing a bloodbath. To Corvus, the iron rule of the Crusade Era Imperium was ever just a stopgap measure, to be replaced once the fighting was done (which incidentally, seems to have been Big E's idea aswell, considering the reforms he had started to implement before the Heresy kicked off).
“My father wants everyone to enjoy the new age of enlightenment and that no human is left alone in this horrible galaxy :( “ “Thanks mate but we good” “I see you have chosen death” “What was that?” “Nothing :)” I love warhammer
Corax is one of few people the emperor talk about the dangers of the warp. this is what fuels him to make sure humanity joins with the imperium against it
I imagine, being that Corvie the last primarch to show up (assuming you trust Alpharius's account, (which you shouldn't)), Big E had learned his lessons and finally became a marginally competent dad.
I mean let's be fair here, the fact that corvus essentially said "you wont live to see tomorrow" is pretty damn cold and ruthless when most leaders of today would have been like "ok, have a good one" then set up a blockade or tried reasoning with them again, in a different way
@@MDMDMDMDMDMDMDMDMD I have always found Corax to look most like E in artwork. I think Lorgar has that divine aura that E has and that is often why people thought he looked the most like E in the lore.
Corax resembles the Emperor most, the Emperor worked through the shadows for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Lorgar when he actually has hair, looks very much like the Master of Mankind, Corax would be the spitting image of his father but he has completely Black eyes, where Lorgar's are a golden yellow resembling his father.
Corax was one of the most trusted by the emperor, even when both meet they have a one to one conversation in which you can see both bonding over as this happens when Corax is about to liberate Deliverance. The emperor saw a part of him from the early days in Corax and Corax found reassurance in his campaign against the tyrants of Deliverance. Adding some things up Lorgar is the emps face, Guilliman is the emperor's heart and soul as stated by Kor Phaeron but Corax might well just be his ideals and the dream he fought so hard to achieve.
The ONLY Primarch entrusted with the how to make Primarchs and given the location within the catacombs to find his lab. Had not the alpha legion infected the samples, the RG would not have stayed low of SM after Istavaan V.
I wonder what would have happened if a system went like: "Ah, THE Emperor, thats something completely different. Get over here, the beer is getting warm. We're in, mate"
Ironically enough in this very book Deliverance his homeworld he liberated became another government of oppression and one of his old child solder buddies from back in the day did a bunch of domestic terrorist attack on the planet to get Corvus's attention and point out he's allowing the very thing he destroyed on his own homeworld! Shit was crazy i kinda feel like out of all Primarchs he's the one that got shafted pretty hard book wise because this was fertile ground for all kinds of future conflicts
@@MagnusTheBlue there’s a good short on UA-cam that summarizes it but basically a planet refuses to surrendered, they get annihilated, they call Morty to surrender and he refuses, they say they don’t want to fight anymore and he basically tells them he doesn’t care what they do but they’re all going to die. Rough summary but it’s a cold exchange
Well when Emperor met Corvus first time, he want to see did his son had what it took. So Emperor told Corvus there is other choice to end his war against the ruling class. And he didn't even hesiteted to use the Nukes. So yes i do know that he was utterly cold and ruthles.
Defy the Primarch and Legion known for their stealth. Its safe to assume that the defying world's armies were crippled by the time the Imperial Army arrives for a proper siege(might aswell be just for occupation duties) aswell as the military leadership dead.
If i remember right, this situation is not about planet, but very big ammount of space stations, which were in some sort of confederation. RG boys conquered some of the stations and after that one of the rulers unleashed some sort of zombie virus on his own people. So Imperial Army was really usefull to contain this plague
They should be thankful it was Corvus Corax who showed up because he actually tried to negotiate...Motarian would have made the talk even more brief and Angron would already be in a drop pod screaming through the atmosphere.
I find it interesting that part of the overall threat is that it's not just the Astartes, but the follow on forces as well. A subtle difference between Corax and his brothers is that he is reminding his opponent that even if the Astartes is somehow resisted the follow on hammer is going to flatten them. A nod to the incredible might of the empire.
@@draochvar9646 a single Men of Iron can destroy a squad of Astartes, they were produced by trillions and were defeated by "mere mortals". Stop simping for smurfs, you're missing a whole awesome setting because of your tunnel vision.
60,000 is pretty low. But 30,000 Astartes? That's insane. If they showed up on earth today, they'd annihilate all armies and governments in a matter of week, leaving only underground cells and civilian insurgents. Sure, if they had to pacify the entire world themselves, it would take a while. But that was never the purpose of the Legions. They utterly crush any form of resistance, and leave the grunt work to the regular humans.
@@alricmalicorne321 yeah I can kinda understand the astartes numbers, although I still think they should add a zero to that. But for the guardsmen there should be at least 6 million
The 30k legionaires are the conquering force, the 60k ocupation. But yeah 40k writers have no understanding of scale and use very inconsitent numbers if they choose to use any at all. Sabbat crusade and Vraks are good examples. But stuff like that happens when the writers have zero military experience.
@@Jaegerrantsi have 0 military experience but i can use google. the US military is in the hundreds of thousands, as is russia. theres no excuse for the writers to not google some declassified basic numbers, do some basic addition, and use that as a ballpark minimum lol

Oooooooh, he's gonna take out the leadership, personally. Not combat the whole planet, immediately.
Humble of Corvus to think they would see his face, or any part of him at all, in the coming days.
I find it interesting that part of the overall threat is that it's not just the Astartes, but the follow on forces as well. A subtle difference between Corax and his brothers is that he is reminding his opponent that even if the Astartes is somehow resisted the follow on hammer is going to flatten them. A nod to the incredible might of the empire.
Did you know that Corvus Corax is a scientific name for a raven?
"We're from the government. We're here to help."
Get out of my room dad im playing the crusade😂
Corax literally went: "we are from the government and we are here to help"
Then Corax opened his eyes and reveals that he has been behind them the whole time like that one royal marine ad 😂
Seeing Abelard and the High Factotum felt like a mental flashbang because I literally just finished Rogue Trader today. Good short tho
Damnnn😭
I want to be in the 40k universe
Just like trazynth. An observer of the history and the present🥹
Corvax: *we're here to help-*
Planet government: *we're not interested*
Corvax: *-you surrender and die*
You know what, I'm not saying I support chaos but... I get it
But what if I prefer being alone? Come on Big E, you're just scared of being alone.
Corax is maybe my favourite Primarch for stealth killing an entire Word Bearers battleship. Classy 😎
60,000 imperial soldiers isn't that much 🤔
You sure there isn't a 0 or two missing?
Typical GW math.
Corvus: ALL SHOULD LIVE FREE FROM THE YOKE OF TYRANNY
Also Corvus:
This conversation tells us that:
1)this world didn't believe that FTL was still possible;
2)Corax forgot to load troops onto his ships😅
With 30000 spec ops specialists at hand, regular troops just get in the way
@@draochvar9646 a single Men of Iron can destroy a squad of Astartes, they were produced by trillions and were defeated by "mere mortals". Stop simping for smurfs, you're missing a whole awesome setting because of your tunnel vision.
I swear Corax acts all tough but he's the primarch that's cried the most XD
You must be a Tough Man by using a loli anime picture as avatar saying shit about other man crying.
The great primach of emo legion himself
He was not crying when he was cutting through Word bearers during istvaan v
@@infernalskepandaen2127 No he was just crying beforehand
@@TheWarrekit's probably get wamgry at women who don't fight like men in anime 😊
I like the part when he let the one SoB melt from the suns heat :)
Much Sable. Very Brand.
Corvus had the chance to eradicate them all. He probably left them to make them think again. 💀
Corvus corax means "the common raven" in Latin.Just found out about this recently.
...."YOU SAID WHAT TO A PRIMARCH!, ARE YOU INSANE"
Ah yes you will be enlightened whether you like it or not.
First to land on this video! Go my Salamanders
Are these 30,000 astartes in the room with us now?
**Sounds of teleportation** They are now.
Sounds like thats not too brutal, he gave them a chance
I really like his no bullshit attitude.
Wait, only 30,000 legionnaires and 60,000 guardsmen? GW has some pretty low numbers
60,000 is pretty low.
But 30,000 Astartes? That's insane.
If they showed up on earth today, they'd annihilate all armies and governments in a matter of week, leaving only underground cells and civilian insurgents.
Sure, if they had to pacify the entire world themselves, it would take a while. But that was never the purpose of the Legions. They utterly crush any form of resistance, and leave the grunt work to the regular humans.
@@alricmalicorne321 yeah I can kinda understand the astartes numbers, although I still think they should add a zero to that. But for the guardsmen there should be at least 6 million
The 30k legionaires are the conquering force, the 60k ocupation.
But yeah 40k writers have no understanding of scale and use very inconsitent numbers if they choose to use any at all. Sabbat crusade and Vraks are good examples. But stuff like that happens when the writers have zero military experience.
@@Jaegerrantsi have 0 military experience but i can use google. the US military is in the hundreds of thousands, as is russia. theres no excuse for the writers to not google some declassified basic numbers, do some basic addition, and use that as a ballpark minimum lol
@@marsar1775 You'd think so, you'd blody think so, but no. Only thing more incompetent than the guys at Black Library are the monkeys at rule writing department.
As the Spaniard said after smoking that British sailor in Pirates of the Caribbean 4, "Someone make a note of that man's bravery"
In any other setting, those rulers would be heroes, all united in defence against some transhuman monstrocity and his tyrant father. Any one of them could've sold out for political benefit or just to spare their own life.
Because they are not suffering like the rest, he has come in the emperor's name. That is cold
Corvus is my favorite class traitor fr
