Chapter 282 274. Go, Hades!

[Concern should be sincere, not artificial. 】

【——Guilliman, notes, 73.44.liv】

This is a small reception room on the Glory of Macragge. Compared with the one Hades went to before, this small room is obviously more private, but it also has a little casualness just right.

Guilliman stood, pulled out a thick notebook from the bookshelf, turned around, and sat behind his desk.

Then he looked up and looked at Mortarion who was sitting across from him, and at the only door of this room, Hades was sitting on the sofa next to the door, wearing a cloak, and the black scythe in his hand blocked Door.

A feeling permeated the room that was slightly off-putting to Guilliman, but according to Hades, it was an inherent quality of his untouchable domain—distasteful to creatures with warp projections.

He was ready, Guilliman pulled out his pen, and said calmly,
【My brother, I have a lot of doubts now. 】

Mortarion's deep voice answered him,

[You also have a lot of time to ask questions. In the field of how to guard against psykers, we have gone far enough to answer most of your confusion. 】

Guilliman stared into Mortarion's eyes, hoping to see something in the Lord of Death's eyes, but unfortunately, Mortarion was also very calm.

[Then, please explain to me again in detail how the Death Guard found out about Absidul's betrayal and learned that they would act on the Day of Peace. 】

[And, the specific truth of those two phantoms.My Librarian told me that the first blue phantom was an extremely powerful psionic malevolent entity, but he couldn't tell me anything else, including the second entity that nearly knocked him unconscious. 】

Mortarion's gas mask hissed,
[Next time, let your chief think tank stay away from the death guard. 】

A mocking smile was mixed in Mortarion's words,
[The Death Guard has some anti-spiritual weapons, maybe ordinary fighters will only feel uncomfortable, but for psychics, they are deadly. 】

[I don't think you would be happy to see your think tanks being accidentally injured. 】

Guilliman spoke, wondering where Mortarion's inexplicable rejection came from,

[Then you should tell me in advance. 】

Under the mask, Mortarion showed a mocking smile. He had already reminded him, but this brother was obviously not sensitive to all kinds of cryptic topics about psychics, and he was about to-

There was a rustling sound at the door, and Hades changed his posture to hold the sickle.

The taunting words turned a corner in an instant,

【. If there is another time, I will let you know directly. 】

The remark managed to get Guilliman to smile kindly at Mortarion, who seemed to think there was a thaw between them.

Mortarion decided to ignore Guilliman's feelings.

【Why the Death Guard can detect Absidu's abnormality. This civilization was established by wizards. Its rulers and its people are all wizards, and wizards are best at deception. 】

[Never trust a wizard's words, ever. 】

[Guilliman, my brother. 】

Mortarion looked at the Lord of Ultramar sarcastically, many wrinkles appeared around his eyes,
[You ask a wizard civilization to give up their foundation, just like you ask a person who breathes the air to stop breathing, and there is no resistance on the other side, don't you realize the problem? 】

The tip of the quill made a small black dot on the paper, and Guilliman stared at Mortarion without changing his expression.

[Before this, I had never been in contact with a civilization full of psykers, nor did I understand their main means of attack. They disbanded all their armies and removed all threatening forces. 】

[And when they make concessions and compromises, they are also competing for interests. When negotiating terms, they are indeed trying to seek the best interests for their own planet, and they are also trying to maintain cooperation with the legion. 】

[From the perspective of this civilization, war is obviously unnecessary. Even if they really want to start a war, it will not be the layout on the day of peace talks, and they will be more cautious. 】

Guilliman stared at Mortarion seriously, and he could feel that Mortarion, who was still sarcastic just now, started to flinch,

Because what Guilliman said is right, even now, the logic of this civilization's sudden betrayal has not been sorted out.

Then Guilliman said in a sincere voice,
[Now are you willing to answer my question sincerely, my brother? 】

Mortarion mumbled back, suddenly aware that he had been cornered by Guilliman's words.

Because this civilization really does not want to rebel, they want to integrate into the empire, and continue to corrupt the empire as a wound.

The Death Guard detonated them in advance, forcing them to defect.

But if Guilliman's problem is explained clearly, it means that Mortarion needs to admit that the Death Guard's deliberate actions, and that this civilization really does not want to rebel on Peace Day.

Although Mortarion seemed to be indifferent to all brothers on the surface, but in contact with Guilliman, he realized that this blue brother valued [people] and [hope] more than anyone he had ever met, Pay attention to all positive and aboveboard things.

Mortarion hesitated.

[My commander first discovered the anomaly, maybe you can ask him about these details. 】

In the end, Mortarion chose to say this, as if worried, he quickly added the next sentence,
[Hades is also the master of the Silent Order. His research on anti-psychic power is deeper than anyone else. He is absolutely sensitive on the topic of psykers. 】

Without waiting for Guilliman to react, Mortarion stood up, then strode to the door, beckoning Hades to go.

So Guilliman saw the autistic Mortarion sitting at the door, and Hades standing beside Mortarion's chair with an expressionless face.

Guilliman fell silent.

At the bottom of his heart, he silently raised Hades' status by one notch again. It seems that the status of [Lord of the Silent Order] is greater than he imagined, and Hades may be responsible for dealing with Terra's affairs .

"Sorry, can I sit?"

Hades smiled awkwardly but politely. He remembered that before boarding the Macragge's Glory, he had agreed that Mortarion would come and explain everything to his brother.

He probably shouldn't have trusted Mortarion's eloquence.

Guilliman immediately made a "please" gesture.

【sure. 】

Hades sat down, and when he turned his head to face Guilliman, he seemed to put on the mask of a politician in an instant, Guilliman couldn't help but let out a small sigh in his heart,

"Lord Guilliman, in fact, we cannot use normal thinking to think about the actions of these wizards."

Hades said solemnly,

"The layout of the army and the construction of the defensive front should not be considered in front of spiritual energy, or in other words, it is not a point that needs to be considered."

"For wizards, they pay more attention to special [meaning], and pay more attention to those vague [characteristics]."

"For example, Peace Day, this is a meaning. Compared with other dates, [Peace Day] is more likely to cause waves in the subspace."

"Any special date, special place, even special things and people, can have special meaning in the warp, and these special will bring them power."

"An altar and a special date can give them the ability to call the wind and rain. It is possible to cut off the enemy's communication, block the fleet's signal, make the enemy's soldiers unconscious, and even attack their own side."

"Lord Guilliman, that's why the Death Guard are very vigilant about Peace Day, because it itself is a signal for war."

Hades' words made Guilliman fall into deep thought. He had indeed heard vague and similar descriptions from the think tank, but the think tank was not sure of his language, nor could he draw common conclusions.

[In other words, the Absidu people hope to launch some kind of psionic spell on Peace Day, a special date, to fight against the empire? 】

Hades nodded.

[But even so, their spells did not work]

Guilliman's voice trailed off,

[Because the death guard went to stop them? 】

Hades smiled.

"It's like this, my lord, I led the Death Guard to stop their plot, but I was also ambushed."

[Thank you for your hard work. 】

"It's just a matter of duty."

Guilliman and Hades were locked in a round of polite conversation, while Mortarion at the door was brooding.

It turns out that can still be said.

Under the shadow of the hood, Mortarion took a deep look at Hades, who was chatting with Guilliman about Tai Chi.

How many lies did this guy tell before Mortarion didn't know it?

"...and then those two figures."

Hades swallowed, and became serious again,

"As the [Master of the Silent Order], I hope that the Ultramarines will forget about them, or downplay them."

Guilliman opened his eyes slightly in surprise. He was about to say something, but Hades raised his hand, signaling for Hades to finish.
"Lord Guilliman, I want to know, what was your first reaction when you saw that blue figure?"

The light shone brightly on the room, but Guilliman felt the swaying oppression intensify,

[What is that, this is my first reaction. 】

He was astonished to see Hades,
"Only these? Are there any other emotions?"

Guilliman began to think, and he let his vision sink into the memory of the moment of the great blue phantom.
[Seriously, I was shocked and wished to know what happened, and wished to order the Ultramarines into defensive formation number 5. 】

"Gone?"

【Gone. 】

Hades opened his mouth, can he really be called Robert Guilliman?
[But for the second black phantom, I felt a sense of discomfort, and I didn't want to look directly at it, this was my first reaction. 】

Hades waved his hand feebly,

"The first phantom is some kind of large-scale witchcraft of the enemy, which has the effect of shaking people's hearts and arousing the most evil desires in people's hearts. Only people with a firm mind will not be affected by it, and even if it is recalled in memory, This kind of witchcraft also has the potential to pollute people's hearts."

[So you want me to pay attention to whether there are some thoughts that should not appear in the Ultramarines? 】

Hades nodded, talking to Guilliman was a peace of mind.

Guilliman thought for a moment,
[Okay, I will pay attention to the Ultramarines participating in the battle this time. 】

"As for the second figure, it is an anti-psychic weapon of the Death Guard, and the Death Guard does not wish to make it public at present."

Mortarion at the door coughed twice, which managed to make the smile on the corner of Hades's mouth almost twitch, but he stopped.

But fortunately, Guilliman didn't pay attention to these, he just agreed to Hades solemnly.

 I coded 6.8k today, great!
