Warhammer: I don't want to be a stinky can! ! !

Chapter 274. 266. Shouldn't be an Ultimate Warrior

[My father specified a vision for the empire and granted it unbreakable power.This vision, when applied to all social, cultural, and military organizations, must inspire a cohesion that transcends individual aspirations. 】

[——Guilliman, "On Loyalty", 45.22.xiv]

Hades stared silently at the lines, which were properly placed on the paper, lying quietly in the gold-rimmed display book, overlooking him from the wall, overlooking a death guard.

Everything here was the same as the Ultramarines in Hades' imagination. But his mood couldn't be called so wonderful.

Hades stepped onto the Glory of Macragge with a heavy heart. Mortarion still didn't know what happened, and the Lord of Death was unwilling to set foot on the motherships of other legions, but Hades It was much more painful before, and——

Mortarion realized that Hades seemed to want to communicate with the Ultramarines. Did he find anything?Is it a rift in the Ultramarines' glorious exterior, or is there something else on this planet, or both?
After careful consideration, and after ensuring that the Ultramarines would not suddenly attack them, the Lord of Death was willing to ask his commander to go to the Glory of Macragge for more information,

Whether it is the information of Abster or the information of the Ultramarines.

Compared with the dim Endurance, everything on Macragge's Glory was immersed in sparkling light, neat and glorious, pure blue and white were everywhere, and bright gold adorned them, symbolizing victory.

Led by Ultimate Warrior Gage, Hades and the Death Guards walked through the hall carved with many figures, through the exhibition room displaying Guilliman's works, through the blue and white ocean, and finally arrived at the living room .

The living room continued the style of the Glory of Macragge. Large pieces of tapestries hung down, and the sapphire blue was woven with the glory of the Ultramarines. Quotations from Guilliman's works were also extracted and hung on the pure white walls. on display.

The light poured down, and everything in the living room was soaked in that transparent magnificence.

Robert Guilliman, there he was, with an almost flawless genial smile.

Hades' eyes moved from Robert's quotations to Robert Guilliman's body, well, he was a little guilty now, after realizing the planet they were facing, he looked at Guilliman as a matter of course, and fell into Markkula's The phantom of grid has become a difficult thing.

All is well, but not the planet—not the planet! ! !
No, no, maybe this planet is not the one in Hades' memory. In fact, events have begun to shift, from the absence of the White Scar in the Battle of Druen, to the sudden appearance of Absdu's extinction The Ultramarines, it's starting to look different from what Hades knew.

Hades swallowed silently, he can't make a rash decision, he still needs to observe further, whether it's for Absidu or the Ultramarines.

Do not rh line!Or other weird lines!Hades yelled silently, at least don't be false gods and evil sons!

Hades suddenly felt a chill on his neck, quack!Don't be a hypocrite!Don't look at him!

Robert Guilliman didn't hear Hades' inner madness. Of course, he couldn't hear other people's voices with zero magic power.

He was sitting there, with well-cut short golden hair shining under the light, emerald green olive leaves symbolizing the status of the Lord of Macragge, royal blue armor smooth and meticulous, a golden U-shaped badge embellished On the sapphire blue, it seems to be smiling and looking at Hades.

Suppressing the crazy and divergent thinking in his heart, although he didn't know why the reality was going this way, Hades still pulled a perfect, politician-like smile on his face.

"Good day, Lord Guilliman, I am Hades, the commander of the Death Guard. The Lord of Death sent me to represent the No.14 Legion to negotiate with the No.13 Legion."

As soon as Hades finished speaking, Guilliman seemed surprised, but his smile became more natural and kind.

"I didn't expect that my brother would send you to negotiate with the Ultramarines. I remember you. At the banquet, your behavior... impressed me deeply."

Guilliman thought of the figure standing in the pile of thousands of sons, the commander of the Death Guard obviously had extremely strong combat power.

But Guilliman originally thought that this death guard would have the same bad temper as his brother Mortarion, but judging from Hades' performance just now, it seems that this is not the case?

Hades made Guilliman feel more like a politician, or a diplomat with ease, and such traits made Guilliman feel slightly familiar.

Guilliman mused that Mortarion and his Legion had yet to experience a non-violent conquest, and the Lord of Macragge wanted his brother to experience such a return, without violence, There is no bloodshed, but mutual understanding and concessions between the two civilizations.

The conquest of the empire is not always accompanied by blood and tears. According to the preference of the Primarch, quite a few legions will choose civilization to make peace at the moment before throwing the war spear. Melt into the beat of Empire.

Guilliman from Macragge obviously prefers this way. Unlike most brothers, Guilliman doesn't get satisfaction or honor from war. He only gets from the execution of plans and the achievement of goals. Feel your own joy.

Of course, Guilliman also hopes to share this joy, so that more people can see the content behind this joy, and civilization can be preserved instead of being burned by the fire of war.

The No.14 Legion has not experienced this kind of thing. Most of the worlds they are sent to are not human worlds, so they rarely feel or are familiar with this process.

According to Guilliman's knowledge, the only human world where the Death Guard was sent, Galaspa. Scattered rumors prove that unimaginable massacres took place there.

Maybe they should feel the joy of being welcomed, not just surrender under the scythe, Guilliman thought, let the Death Guard feel the charm of civilization once, they belong to the great race of human beings, understanding and tolerance are obviously important better choice.

But so far, the Lord of Death has shown little interest in what the Ultramarines have achieved in Abus, and Guilliman feels uncomfortably that this brother, like most Primarchs, has something unique about war of paranoia.

Guilliman recalled everything that had happened at the feast, Mortarion had a disturbing quality, but the Lord of Death also showed hints of a desire to talk - which meant things could still turn.

While Guilliman was not sure why Mortarion retained considerable malice towards psykers, the Lord of Macragge tried to understand this behavior, and in the end Guilliman concluded that Mortarion abhorred using A wizard who blasphemed witchcraft, his brother also stood firm for the Imperial truth.

And to Guilliman's relief, although Abster's rulers also used psionic spells, their queen was willing to give up witchcraft, altars, and Things forbidden by other Imperial truths.

Guilliman seldom encountered a civilization that was so compatible with submission. In his analysis and classification, the more human civilizations were different from the empire, the greater the resistance to submission, and the truth of the empire subverted these things even more. The logical foundation of the civilization that originally used psionic energy——

But they are still willing to submit, and vowed to act in accordance with the dogma of Imperial truth.

The surrender plan was successfully completed. Although Guilliman was lost for a while without starting the backup plan, it was a miracle that was hard to reproduce. It took the Ultramarines less than a week to complete the surrender of a human world, and Let them follow Imperial truth.

Guilliman was also worried about the undercurrent under the surface calm, maybe this planet was just a false surrender, but after surrendering, Absidul's army did not do anything else, they stayed there quietly, obeying the orders of the Ultramarines command.

All went well, and nine days later, the Ultramarines would represent the Empire and receive the civilization's formal allegiance in Abster's Square.

Surely Guilliman wanted the Death Guard to attend and witness the ceremony.

The Lord of Macragge was calculating precisely in his mind. At the same time, he was also talking with Hades, the representative of the Death Guard. The image of the Death Guard commander was quickly established in the Primarch's mind. up.

Compared to Mortarion, this commander obviously understands and understands some rules in the social field, has amazing control over the art of language, is logical, and has a sense of proportion.

Conversing with Hades is obviously a gratifying and pleasant experience for Guilliman. Both parties are familiar enough with the rules of interpersonal communication, and there is a tacit understanding between the dialogues. Probing, and maintaining rational restraint.

Guilliman even had hallucinations for a moment, the death guard named Hades. Maybe not, he suppressed the slightly absurd and wicked conjecture in time.

On the opposite side of Guilliman, Hades held a rather cautious attitude compared to Guilliman who praised Hades in his heart.

The two were still in the long greeting session, introducing each other to the customs of the two legions, some were not, and there was a lot of information, but very little, and it was irrelevant.

Hades would like to call it [Markula-style Greetings], just chatting with grandpas and aunts, and the first sentence [Have you eaten? 】Same.

Compared with what the Ultramarines ate, Hades is still more concerned about what is going on with Absdu and the Ultramarines now.

Although he has been doing Tai Chi back and forth with Guilliman reflexively.

Finally, Guilliman finished his lengthy hello and got down to business.

"The Queen of Absidur warmly welcomes the Ultramarines, who are willing to submit to the Empire and strictly abide by the Imperial Truth."

Guilliman said proudly,

"A fairly rare act, willing to give up most of one's own civilization in favor of the dogma of the Empire, which is worthy of encouragement and publicity."

This civilization has made a remarkable concession, which needs encouragement, and the testimony of the two legions is obviously appropriate.

Guilliman continued his impassioned speech, and the olive laurel crown on his head shone from different angles under the lights following the movement of the Primarch.

"Hades, I know my brother hates psykers, but the psykers on this planet are willing to abandon their psychic traditions and follow the truth of the empire. I think he would be more happy to see this Such behavior, psykers are not completely incorrigible, they also radiate the light of human reason."

Guilliman was impassioned, and the statesman's oratorical talent was fully reflected in the Primarch at this moment.

The other Ultramarines and Death Guard who were on the sidelines were already caught in the speech of Lord Macragge. Their trust in human beings and the beautiful hope that human beings could finally understand each other filled up like balloons in their chests.

Except for Hades, of course.

The more Guilliman talked, the more flustered Hades became. The smile on the corner of his mouth was already twitching, but he still had to maintain an image of [inspired by Guilliman's speech].

To be honest, Hades is panicking now.

In fact, in the original book, Absdu also surrendered, and Mortarion, who was criticized and tyrannical in Galaspa, accepted the surrender of these psykers with his nose, and told them to abide by the truth of the empire——

Just like now, those psykers chose to prostrate and promised the truth of the empire in front of the Lord of Death.

But
Because of Barbarus's childhood life, under the influence of his adoptive father Nacre, Mortarion has always been extremely sensitive to psionic witchcraft, coupled with the suspicious character of the Primarch itself, so after accepting Arbus After the capital surrendered, the death guards did not leave immediately.

Instead, Mortarion chose to wander the streets of Absidul himself.

If you don't go shopping, you don't know. If you go shopping, you will be shocked.

In fact, regardless of whether the management of this planet is a psyker, the influence of psychic energy has begun to permeate every corner of this civilization, and ominous spells are disguised as nursery rhymes when mothers coax their babies, and they are trivially crawling on the ground.

After meeting a half-crazy old woman with signs of corrosion, Mortarion immediately fell into ptsd. At this time, the death lord's extremely sensitive ability to psionic energy began to attack, and he was keenly aware of the previous ordinary In everything lies the flickering shadow of psionic power.

This planet is hopeless, this is no ordinary spiritual kingdom, they are on the verge of corruption, crumbling.

So, what more is there to say, the Death Guard dropped the first Cyclone torpedo of Extermination.

Of course, all of this is based on one foundation, that is, Mortarion has seen through the docile lies on the surface of this civilization. For think tanks, this is not something that can be easily done.

but now.
Hades stared at Guilliman, who was still continuing to speak. He had already begun to imagine the future expedition and how to deal with the returning human civilization.

Hades felt his scalp tingle for the first time.

Guilliman has no problem. He is very good. He is the best Hades has ever seen. He is sympathetic and merciful. He tries to avoid wars. He has a very high opinion of human civilization and the bottom line. Extinction weapons, radiation weapons and phosphating weapons.

For human civilization, negotiating peace is correct, and human beings should not fight each other. To a certain extent, Hades fully agrees with Guilliman's point of view.

But the problem is - not this planet, Guilliman is fine, but not here, not Abstul!

Hades realized absurdly that all the good qualities that Guilliman had, which he had praised so much before, would all become a high wall to stop the death guard at this moment.

md, why.

Hades thought bitterly, even if it was Perturabo, even if it was Leon Johnson, they would allow, or even not care about, the death guards to issue an extermination order in Absdu.

Why, it happened to be nmd Ultimate Warrior.

How should he explain psionics to Guilliman, or break through Guilliman's bottom line that was thicker than the Imperial Fist fortress, and let Guilliman understand the necessity of going to war?

Hades felt that fate seemed to be playing a joke on him. He met the right person at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

Maybe he should be more cautious.

　This one is 4.4k words, ahaha.

　　Don't wait after 10:30, just get up early to see if there is any ()
　　The references to Guilliman and the Ultramarines are from Lords of Macragge, which is interestingly written by the same author of Mortarion's The Pale King, and David was responsible for Mortarion and Guilliman's 30k story.
