Chapter 284 276. That Blue Man + Interlude Video Game
Hades decided to put the Ultramarines at the top of the list of "legions Hades wants to work with".
Not only Robert Guilliman, most of the Ultramarines are filled with a strong aura of "normal people". They can interact and communicate normally, and there are no inexplicable bottom lines and emotional explosion points.
And you can say what you need to say without being suddenly silenced. There is no need for Hades to ask step by step for fear of missing some key information.
And they will help you as much as they can.
For example, now, Hades has silently copied several daily report formats of the Ultramarines, and has also taken many books written by Guilliman.
It has to be said that Guilliman has written many books, and when negotiating with the Ultramarines, they will more or less quote the words from Guilliman's works.
This gave Hades a more intuitive impression of the descendants in the original book who liked to quote holy scriptures.
But this did not prevent him from continuing to copy information crazily in the Ultramarines' data room.
On the other side, Guilliman was looking at the information given by Hades. The bright and open library exuded the fragrance of books and knowledge.
【Breathtaking masterpiece. ]
Guilliman looked at Barbarus' three-dimensional map again and again and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Building a dead world into a semi-hub world that now handles nearby star field fleets is an idea that ordinary people cannot imagine, and it is also a feat that is difficult to achieve.
In fact, Guilliman has always had a slight regret in his heart. His brothers are all very good, but when it comes to building their home planet, they seem to uphold different ideas from Guilliman.
Few people even pay attention to the construction after the war. Horus is just to gain more prestige for himself, Dorn is paranoid about the construction itself, Perturabo has extreme tendencies, and others People don't even care.
But now, in a legion whose style is far different from that of the Ultramarines, Guilliman sees the sparkling possibility, a person with similar ideas to his - [
Hades, who is the one in the Death Guard legion? Who proposed the transformation of the Barbarus Plan and was ultimately responsible for its implementation? ]
Guilliman was eagerly waiting for the answer, but he seemed to have already sketched out the figure of the warrior in his mind.
"Ah," Hades raised his head and was scanning the bookshelf of the Ultramarines. He was thinking about which books to get. He replied casually, "It's me." For a moment, Hades felt a chill on his back, and he
suddenly He turned around and saw a huge blue man blocking behind him.
Hades was so frightened that he almost thrust his bolter into Guilliman's face.
He swore that Guilliman had teleported over just now, without any sound, just in an instant! It's like he appeared out of thin air!
Hades forced out a smile and said shakily,
"Lord Guilliman?"
The blue man showed the brightest smile Hades had ever seen,
[Hades, commander of the Death Guard Officer, I think you can mark out the range of information you want to find, and the Ultramarines will help you find them. ]
[But now, I want to ask you some questions, about Barbarus, about you. 】
Hades wiped his sweat silently in his heart, he was scared to death, he thought Guilliman was going to ask some shocking questions.
"Yes, of course."
——————————
".I think war is not the goal, development, and the ultimate life of mankind is the goal. So since the legion has the strength and leisure, then you can choose a region to develop."
Guilliman smiled and nodded,
[Yes, everything now is for the ultimate peace. After the Great Crusade, the legions of their own wars can devote themselves to the construction of mankind, and high-quality space warriors can Take on the responsibility of being a guide for human civilization. 】
Guilliman, who was immersed in the bright future, did not realize the special color that flashed in Hades's eyes after he said these words.
Hades smiled,
"With the cohesion and appeal of the legion, we can achieve many miracles that are simply impossible in the eyes of others. The legion is a tool, and its functions go far beyond war." [Forgive me for being curious,
Hades , I think you will be someone who thinks seriously about the future, so in your thinking, where will the Death Guard Legion go after the Great Crusade? 】
Hades's Inner Pain Mask, no, this is not possible.
In the galaxy, there is only war.
"Perhaps you can ask our Legion Commander Lord Mortarion. It is not suitable for me to answer this question."
Hades laughed, and Guilliman also realized Hades' reluctance to answer. With a mutual understanding, the two quickly changed the topic.
They talked about how to deal with the mortal bureaucracy, and how the Legion's oppression made treating mortals an art unto itself.
They talked about how to negotiate peace, how to fool the empire's tax agencies, avoid taxes reasonably, and how to make the Legion's logistics line more hidden and reasonable.
They talked about how to deal with the Mechanicus, if you want to build and develop, you can never avoid the Mechanicus.
Hades marveled that the Primarch's charismatic aura could also be used on the Greaser, while Guilliman was amazed that Hades knew so much Mechanicus slang and slang.
[I remembered that my heir in the foundry department once mentioned you. ]
Guilliman suddenly said,
[Your signature is "H", right? Quite innovative and sharing spirit. ]
Hades waved his hand and said that it was time for the first group of people to go to Mars to come back.
"The study life on Mars is boring. This is just fun that I find for myself. There is nothing to mention."
But Guilliman didn't think so. He looked at Hades thoughtfully, such an outstanding talent. .But
he is the commander of the Death Guard. For people with this kind of position, the Legion generally does not allow them to go out to study diplomacy.
So Guilliman began to bring the topic to Macragge.
He first asked tactfully about the scenery of Barbarus, and Hades described to him a picture of plain farmland, an empty and fertile land, with corn stalks rustling in the wind.
[This reminds me of the outskirts of Macragge. 】
Lush forests, towering ancient castles in the forests, noisy downtowns, blue skies, and white streets.
【If you want to understand and be exposed to real and complete administrative management, then you should go to Macragge, she It will not let you down. ]
[Although Macragge lacks mineral resources.]
Guilliman began to subconsciously add information about Macragge, but Hades in front of him was so excited that his eyes were shining with gold.
No, Hades thought, no!
Macragge is in the Extreme Star Territory, which is literally thousands of miles away from them now, and in the future, the Death Guard's march route will not shift there.
If he went to Macragge, it would be difficult to follow the Death Guard in a spaceship.
But in that quiet scene of time,
Hades took a deep breath and said,
"Thank you for the invitation. If the war subsides, I will go to visit Macragge. Macragge is indeed a shining pearl in human civilization." ."
He finally refused, and Hades' heart was bleeding.
Mixing in Macragge and becoming a foundry sergeant seems to be a good choice, very suitable for retirement, and only needs to worry about the Battle of Calth later.
Seeing Hades' refusal, Guilliman stopped mentioning it, but he already remembered the Death Guard in his heart, just like he remembered Dantioch of the Iron Warriors.
As long as he could
continue, Guilliman and Hades had an in-depth exchange of views on the topic of star field construction. The two sides fully exchanged views, and the conversation achieved a major constructive breakthrough.
Until the end, Guilliman was still trying to get the Death Guard to stay with the Ultramarines for a while.
Without exception, they were all declined, although Guilliman also saw Hades' pain and confusion.
————————
Interlude [Video game, but real person fighting]
(Slightly strengthens Mortarion.)
As we all know, Guilliman has a game console that can fight virtually. Today, he invited Mortarion An came over and tried a few tricks.
Originally Mortarion would have scorned this kind of game and laughed loudly, but because Hades wanted to have fun, no, he wanted to watch the original body fight, so he reached an agreement with Guilliman.
"Mortarion, I lost the bet with Guilliman. I have to go to Macragge to stay for a few years and learn from the Ultramarines."
Hades informed Mortarion regretfully in a heavy tone . Ann, this is good news, no, bad news.
I added a few words by the way and performed a simple fire ceremony.
What a joke, couldn't Hades see Guilliman's thoughts?
Of course, Mortarion went to beat Guilliman with his scythe.
Guilliman's request for this is to play three games with him and win two out of three games. If Mortarion wins, then he is willing to withdraw his bet with Hades.
So now, Mortarion is lying in the simulation warehouse wearing a giant fool's hat and looking like he wants to kill people.
[Guilliman vs. Mortarion, commentator: Hades]
[Okay, the first game has begun! We see that the two original bodies obviously want to fight in close combat first! Guilliman and Mortarion both gave up deploying their troops and rushed toward each other with their swords in hand! ]
[ Guilliman is coming with force! The Sincere Dagger and the Hand of Control are outputting like crazy! And Mortarion is passively resisting. Will Mortarion be defeated in the first round? -]
[No! As we all know, Mortarion is a defensive latecomer. The longer the battle lasts, the more obvious his advantages will be! After Mortarion deliberately extended the time, Guilliman was already starting to look a little tired! ]
Guilliman took a deep breath. Although Mortarion's eyes were full of anger, he was very restrained and never took the initiative to attack. The Lord of Death would only launch a counterattack in the gap after Guilliman made his move.
He was even deliberately exchanging injuries for injuries!
Guilliman's eyes flashed as he calculated Mortarion's every move.
【good! We can see that after the battle with Mortarion reaches a certain value, Robert Guilliman activates his passive skill "Observation". In this state, Guilliman will actively learn to analyze the enemy's information and target it. The enemy's style of play gives the answer. 】
【That's not good! Guilliman seemed to have seen through Mortarion's tactics. Guilliman's offensive became more and more fierce. Guilliman also began to exchange injuries for injuries. He wanted a quick victory! ]
[Is Mortarion going to fail in the first battle? Then in the subsequent confrontation between the commanding legions, can the Lord of Death defeat Guilliman, who is known for his "command"? ]
[Looking at the health bars of both sides, Guilliman still has a quarter of his health left, while Mortarion - Mortarion only has a little blood left! ]
[ Guilliman also realized it! He ignored Mortarion's rushing scythe and swung the decisive sword directly at Mortarion——]
[ohhhhhh! Mortarion, Mortarion revealed his second health bar! ]
[ Guilliman made a confused sound, but Mortarion didn't give him time to react! Mortarion triggered his passive "residual health". In the residual health state, for every point of blood lost, Mortarion's defense value, attack value, and critical hit rate will increase a little! 】
Under the mask, Mortarion sneered. Guilliman did not dodge the scythe he just struck. The Lord of Death successfully used the scythe to tear through Guilliman's defense. Then he held Guilliman down, Pour some of his homemade poison into his mouth.
[Guilliman is in a poisoned state! Guilliman is out of health! The last bit of Guilliman's blood is gone! The first winner, Mortarion! ! ! ]
Mortarion laughed with satisfaction and helped Guilliman up from the ground.
Guilliman showed a puzzled expression, but he seemed to understand Mortarion's characteristics. For the second time, Guilliman signaled to open the second one.
【The second game begins! After the first severe beating, Guilliman chose to call on the Ultramarines! He wants to compete with Mortarion for his ability to command and dispatch. ]
[Guilliman triggers the passive "Master of Troop Scheduling". Compared with other legions, when Guilliman is present, the Ultramarines' combat power is +15%, unity +100%, recovery +15%, and the number of soldiers +20%! ]
[This is such a buggy skill! ]
[On the other side, Mortarion's Death Guard is slightly inferior. 】
After a while, Mortarion's position was surrounded by the Ultramarines. At the same time, Guilliman, who triggered the passive [Observation], commanded the Ultramarines to tear apart the Death Guard's defense bit by bit.
As expected of Guilliman!
And Mortarion was not a vegetarian. Under the persistence of the Death Guard, the Ultramarines were also being rapidly consumed.
Finally, Guilliman stood in front of Mortarion again. This time, the two originals Nearby were the corpses of countless Space Marines.
Guilliman was at half health, and Mortarion, after being knocked out of six and a half health, revealed his last half health.
Based on his analysis, Guilliman concluded that it was impossible for the crumbling Mortarion to show any more blood.
[Guilliman waves the Sword of Akagi again and charges forward! And Mortarion responded with his heavy scythe! 】
【After studying and analyzing Mortarion's personal behavior before, Guilliman's battle this time has become much smoother! He gave up the big opening and closing, and chose speed and thrust instead! 】
【Due to the difference in the length of the weapons and the effective attack range of the two sides, Guilliman has always been close to Mortarion. Mortarion had to use a sickle to fight with him, while trying to distance the two sides as much as possible. ]
[But Guilliman didn't give him this chance! He's attacking like crazy! Mortarion's health bar is in danger——】
【ohhhhhh! Mortarion triggers the passive "blood lock"! You can never reach the reality of the last seven drops of blood! Except for fatal injuries such as decapitation and heart-breaking, all other injuries do not cause real harm to the Lord of Death! ]
Guilliman looked at Mortarion in disbelief. Mortarion was already quite broken. He was like a scarecrow in the strong wind, as if he would fall apart at the next moment.
This gave Guilliman the illusion that even if he didn't attack, Mortarion would fall apart directly under the influence of gravity -
but, what does it mean that non-fatal injuries do not cause damage!
[Guilliman began to try to change his strategy, but obviously, Mortarion would not give Guilliman any more time to find a countermeasure! Taking advantage of Guilliman's fatigue from the long battle, the Lord of Death began to take the initiative to attack! ]
[In the second round, Mortarion wins! ]
Guilliman suddenly sat up from the virtual cabin. He turned his head and looked at Mortarion in horror with an indescribable expression.
Mortarion stood up slowly and took off that silly hat immediately.
"You failed, my brother."
Mortarion said flatly, and then he stood up without any regrets and left the Flair of Macragge with his commander.
Great! Today I wrote 7.5k words! The final interlude on
3/14 has slightly strengthened Mortarion. According to common sense, Guilliman will win in the third game, or even the countless games that follow. (End of chapter)
