Chapter 132 124. We stand on this homeland again
. "This is not good."
Hades whispered to himself. After briefly dealing with the matters at the gene seed bank, he was now standing in the old From the observation deck of the stronghold, looking towards the mountains in the distance, it was dim and dark, like a solid wall of clouds hanging above the ground.
From time to time, some small dots crash into the thick clouds - they are the strange creatures on Barbarus.
Rolling muffled thunder came from the horizon from time to time, and flashes of light gathered from the highest mountains.
After confirming the situation in the distance, Hades turned around and jumped off the observation tower. Below, four hundred Death Guards were standing neatly in front of the original body, waiting for further arrangements.
Mortarion, on the other hand, was not looking at his warriors. He was staring thoughtfully at the three short figures in front of him -
that was the white-haired Lysa and her. of grandchildren.
Lysa, the sister of Herrera who was originally short and thin in Hades' memory, has now become so old but full of wisdom. The poisonous environment of Barbarus has left indelible marks on her body. , even though the arrival of the empire provided better medical care here, unlike the rapidly increasing life span, the appearance of the Barbarus people still aged extremely quickly.
Hades walked over and squatted down as carefully and gently as possible, staring into Lesa's familiar eyes. He always wanted to call his mother-in-law or grandma, but he suddenly realized that he was older than Lesa, "
Lesa "Sa. Did your granddaughter, little Herrera, see Calastiphon walking towards the Nakle Mountains?"
Lysa nodded, and the little girl standing on her right also nodded, her dark brown eyes moving quickly. He raised his head and glanced at Hades, then quickly lowered his head. Half-long black hair was piled messily on little Herrera's shoulders -
Barbarus people are accustomed to naming their children after respectable relatives and friends. This The little girl inherited Herrera's name.
Moreover, this little girl is untouchable.
She is immune to Hades' black domain.
Hades thought of this and unconsciously wanted to smile bitterly, but then he swallowed the smile.
"Sister was following that adult. She will never be mistaken."
Another voice sounded crisply. It was Little Herrera's twin brother Hader.
Her short brown hair was curled up, and her black eyes were staring at Hades at the moment.
Even more surprising is that Harder is a psyker.
All psykers originally on Barbarus will gradually turn into creatures like alien lords. The special psychic environment of Barbarus will gradually distort the psionic abilities of the psykers, causing them to begin to mutate.
So the psykers on Barbarus will be killed by the villagers immediately.
The first psyker exception on Barbarus may be Calastyphon, but since he is the product of an alien lord and a human, the usual rules summarized through countless psyker mutations may not apply to him.
Then
Hades had actually noticed that Mortarion's eyes had been lingering on the little boy, and the original body's hand unconsciously rested on the pistol and lantern on his waist.
"Who is this child?"
Hades asked more, although he should immediately go after Calastyphon.
Lysa smiled and said,
"This is Hader. I originally wanted to send him to the star ring, maybe this way he could survive."
"Don't kill my brother."
Little Herrera suddenly said,
" I have been watching him next to him, he will not lose control."
Hades blinked in surprise, and behind him, Mortarion did the same.
Use untouchables to suppress the growth of psykers to avoid the process of psykers on Barbarus being twisted into alien shapes?
Weird coincidence.
Hades turned his head and motioned to a death shroud, who came out of the queue.
"Keep an eye on them."
Hades said in the private communication channel.
He stood up and signaled to Lysa that they could go back first, and thanked them for their information.
Lysa smiled kindly at Hades,
"The field where Herrera slept has produced the twenty-sixth crop of white corn this year. Remember to look back at her."
Hades stopped. For a moment, he watched Lysa and the others go back naturally.
Next, he turned his head and prepared to continue discussing the next arrangements.
Mortarion glanced at Hades but said nothing.
He still remembered Hades standing in front of the tombstone.
Hades took a deep breath and forced his thoughts to focus.
It is now certain that Karastiphon went to the territory of Nakre alone and did not bring any troops. The Death Guard who came back with Karas to recruit troops have been controlled.
According to them, Karas, who was actively planning to recruit soldiers, suddenly left alone.
But what Hades was not sure about was whether the pharmacist Laton who the biological sage met would also appear.
But even if he is added, there are only two Death Guards, and the balance of combat power is obviously tilted towards Hades's side.
Barbarus' poisonous gas, under the precise circulation system of the power armor, has long lost its previous lethality.
Hades lowered his eyes. The most likely change would still be Nurgle's witchcraft, but he was already prepared for this.
This time he specially brought over ten male untouchables, from among the people Machado promised to give him.
Malcador has only given fifty untouchables to the Death Guard so far, and the quality is obviously uneven. Hades has not yet gone to meet them, but judging from the data compiled by the tomb keeper, it is true that Malcador did
not He was assured of the quality of this group of untouchables,
but the Death Guard did not conduct targeted training for this group of untouchables. Only the tombkeepers occasionally asked them to do some physical training.
So this time Hades decisively selected the ten people with the weakest physical fitness among the ten reports. There is a high probability that they are not suitable for fierce frontal battles, so they are very suitable for such emergency situations.
Each untouchable wears simple armor provided by the Adeptus Mechanicus, which contains the necessary life cycle system, but it is useless for combat.
Each Untouchable is guarded by three dedicated Death Guards.
If there is a psychic attack, they will play their role as beings to calm the waves of the warp.
The muffled thunder in the sky interrupted Hades's thoughts. He turned back and glanced at Mortarion.
"Let's go now?"
The dense clouds made it unrealistic for aircraft such as Storm Bird to enter, and the steep mountainous terrain of Barbarus was not suitable for the release of heavy weapons vehicles.
Instead, orbital bombing can be considered. The ring of stars above Barbarus is already ready.
But still go check it out. If the situation is really weird, then retreat immediately and start bombing.
And the thick poisonous fog.
Both Hades and Mortarion realized that before they went there, the fog would never dissipate.
