Chapter 275 267. The
first test, Hades felt the goodness of Malcador.
Facing a person who didn't understand psychic powers but believed in the empire, the title of [Lord of the Silent Order] that Malcador threw at him was put to its proper use for the first time.
Macado, you are not a bad person!
Hades blinked and spoke. He wanted to communicate with Guilliman alone.
Of course, Guilliman agreed to this request. Among the countless backup plans of the Lord Macragge, this was naturally the case.
Soon, the Ultramarines led the Death Guards who followed Hades to the side room to wait.
Hades watched people file away, thinking about his next words.
First of all, he couldn't say keywords. Hades didn't want to repeat his behavior of engulfing the entire Death Guard with just one word, although this might allow him to successfully stay behind the Ultramarines.
Secondly, he couldn't forcefully persuade him. Without absolute evidence, he couldn't convince Guilliman completely.
He could indeed walk away, but Hades was afraid that this wound would continue to contaminate the Ultramarines, which was not what Hades wanted to see.
Hades planned to warn Guilliman first, and then go to Absdu to see what was going on. If this planet was really that evil, then he would show Guilliman the subspace specialties.
Now that everyone was gone, Guilliman sat opposite Hades, his previous impassioned mood gone, and he smiled with some curiosity, hoping to know what the representative of the Fourteenth Legion meant when he suddenly asked to talk alone.
Hades said slowly and logically,
"My lord, do you know why I am here?"
Guilliman was silent for a brief moment. Hades knew that the supercomputer's computing power was fully loaded,
"In the Empire's During the detection, the civilization level of this planet is very high, and one legion cannot recover it very well."
Guilliman smiled, as if to ease the embarrassment that would come next,
"But if you mean why are you here? Here, I think it's my brother who still doesn't want to meet me."
To a certain extent, that's true, Hades thought.
But Hades didn't let him think that way! Hades said with a serious expression,
"Lord Guilliman, your guess is correct, but it is far more than that - the empire appointed me as the [Lord of the Silent Order], and this is what I will do in the two legions." functions in cooperation."
Guilliman looked slightly surprised,
"Will the Sisters of Silence also participate in this recovery?"
During the Great Crusade, if some special psychic species are encountered, then the Sisters of Silence will follow Legions fight together.
But what Hades was thinking about was why Guilliman equated him with Sister Silence!
Hades continued to be serious on the surface,
"If necessary, they will naturally join this recovery. Absdu still needs to be evaluated, and the empire will not relax its vigilance against psionic species at any time."
Guiliman was stuck. Card, he was thinking, and then he cautiously raised his question,
"People here do use psychic powers, but they have sworn not to use them anymore. After I read out the truth of the empire, the Queen of Absdu smashed it with her own hands. Destroyed the largest altar in the kingdom and took the oath with her people." "
The army was disbanded and pamphlets promoting the truth of the Empire were distributed. They are indeed actively trying to integrate into the Empire."
Hades looked at Guilliman .
"Lord Guilliman, forgive me for the offence, but... what type of army did they disband?" "A
small number of companies equipped with heavy vehicles and a large number of light infantry can cover the entire capital . air force."
"So."
Hades said slowly,
"Such an army, does the empire need to send two legions?"
Guilliman's eyes suddenly became sharp. He had indeed thought about this issue, but after After many reconnaissances by the Ultramarines, they did not find other hidden troops. Queen Absdu’s explanation for this was that they were
a rebuilt civilization. The previous civilization was lost in civil strife, but that civilization brought them A relatively stable star field came, and Absdu was able to continue.
After seeing enough evidence, Guilliman accepted this explanation.
Guilliman opened his mouth, ready to explain to Hades, but Hades spoke first,
"You may not be familiar with psykers. They are good at rhetoric, deception and concealment. I'm afraid that is not their real army at all.
" But we did not find other armies," Guilliman said seriously. "The Ultramarines carefully checked every corner, and there was no other suspicious presence." "My lord, don't think about psykers with ordinary
legion combat thinking. Tactics, their conditions for victory are different from ours."
"Wizards don't need equipment that can be detected, a book, a bone sacrifice, they can unleash their maximum combat power."
Hades said slowly He said,
"Perhaps you should let me try to check. The Death Guard and I are still good at dealing with psykers."
Guilliman nodded. Faced with Hades's reasonable request, he naturally could not do it. Refuse, after all, Hades's warning was reasonable, and the words of the Lord of the Silent Order did arouse a certain amount of worry in Robert Guilliman,
but Guilliman changed his tone again,
"Okay, but I also have my own Demand."
"We are now in a critical period of peace negotiations. If there is no absolute evidence, you cannot take actions that disrupt civilian life or kill innocent people indiscriminately. This is a civilization with a good attitude, even if there is a small number of rebellions among them. Molecules, that is also a variable that can be expected."
Guilliman has his own considerations. The Lord of Macragge clearly realizes that his brothers are not ordinary people, and some prejudices can make them do terrible things. , he has witnessed the atrocities committed by the Night Lords.
He did not allow his brother to bring unbearable disaster to a civilization because of some vague prejudices and clues.
He accepts and supports reasonable, just behavior, and will not condone atrocities.
Hades stood up calmly and saluted,
"Okay, Lord Guilliman, please allow me to discuss further with our legion commander, but before that, please keep your army on necessary vigilance." "Facing
the A psychic can never be too vigilant."
Then he left and strode out of this splendid living room.
The dim command room of the Endurance.
Hades silently gave orders and checked the map sent by the Ultramarines, while Mortarion walked around and cursed from time to time.
"This is a country ruled by psychics! Doesn't Guilliman know what this means?!"
"Calm down, Mortarion, we also need to do more investigation before we can make a conclusion."
Hades spoke slowly,
"Look how rotten this civilization is, so that the Death Guard can give them death." "
From their cunning negotiation, I know that this planet is worth an extermination order! "
Well, you are a bit too extreme, but we will know later whether this civilization is worth this extreme."
Hades suddenly said,
"By the way, Mortarion, if Guilliman comes back to negotiate with you, , don't be so extreme, otherwise it will be difficult for the Death Guard to act." "
He does not really understand the terror of psykers, words cannot describe them, and he still treats humans equally with hope."
Hades He muttered something under his breath, although this was not bad.
Mortarion let out a mocking laugh,
"I will! If lies can make me chop off the heads of wizards, then I will be better at playing with language than any wizard!" Hades
clapped his hands and watched. Here is the transfer order list, okay,
"Guilliman asked us not to alarm the people there too much, and there is no need for the entire Zero Company to be exposed in a reconnaissance mission. For this operation, we will bring part of the Seventh Company and part of the Soulless." , and me, that's enough."
"I'll go too."
Hades glanced at Mortarion helplessly,
"Then we'll have to trouble Gallo and Vox to temporarily replace the legion."
"That would have been the case. It is one of their responsibilities."
