Chapter 43 41. If you can skip work, of course you have to skip work.
Endurance.
Now.

"This is the personal viewing room."
Mortarion's voice echoed in the empty space.
A whole piece of tempered glass is embedded in the dark gray wall, and starlight slowly shines in from the other side of the universe.
Several dark green flags with the Death Guard logo hung slowly from the wall, and two rows of black sofas were placed casually in the center of the room.
Mortarion stood by the window, looking at the vast and infinite universe outside.
Hades looked at countless stars, and the deep space seemed to swallow everything.
In the center of the viewing window, the planet shrouded in green mist was slowly rotating, with a hazy moss-green embrace surrounding it.
A huge star ring shimmering with mechanical luster hovered above it, and spacecraft flew out from the star ring from time to time.
Barbarus's
dim yellow light shone on Hades' face, and fine dust floated in the faint light.
"It's beautiful, right."
Mortarion's hoarse voice sounded,
"But I didn't expect such a beautiful planet to be so ugly under the fog." "
Will the Empire help improve Barbarus' poisonous gas environment?"
Hades To put it bluntly,
in the original plot, the Emperor used the environment of transforming Barbarus as bait in the hope that Mortarion would join the Empire, but this was naturally rejected by Mortarion.
Hades hoped that since Mortarion had killed Naklay, he would not refuse the Empire's proposal to transform the environment of Barbarus.
As the home planet of the Primarch, wouldn't it be a good idea to allow construction to flourish after the tithe tax is reduced?
"They did make this suggestion."
"But I'm wondering, will the Barbarians who have lost their poisonous environment become weak?"
Hades was speechless.
But in fact, Mortarion is not the only one who has this kind of Thoughts, Leman Russ, the primarch of the Sixth Legion, thought so too.
Leman Russ's home planet is Fenris, a dead world covered in ice and snow. When the empire used Fenris as a new recruiting point for the Sixth Legion, Leman Russ asked not to inform the Fenrisians of the existence of the empire. .
He believes that only those who have overcome the severe cold of ice and snow alone can become soldiers of the Sixth Legion.
Hades cannot directly deny this view, but in his simple values, since it can make the whole life better, there is no need to deliberately use difficulties to temper others.
After all, not everyone wants to become a war machine like a Space Marine. Some people may just want to live their lives smoothly.
Hades thought for a while and then said,
"Tenacity is an innate quality of the Barbarians. It flows in the blood of every Barbarus and will not change due to changes in the environment." "
Moreover, I believe that an environment without poisonous gas will allow the new generation of Barbarus to grow stronger."
Mortarion was silent.
He thought of the children whose skin turned purple and died young due to excessive inhalation of poisonous gas.
Are they weak? If they were given a chance to grow up, would they become good warriors?
He hesitated.
"Perhaps I should agree to the empire's proposal."
Hades smiled,
"I think you will not regret this decision."
"The Barbarians will be grateful to you."
Motari An shrugged,
"I hope they won't become cowards because of this decision."
At the same time, Mortarion reached out and touched the glass. In an instant, a picture appeared on the glass -
like the outside of the glass. , in the universe, it is really like a huge battleship floating slowly.
The huge and cold dark green and silvery metallic luster shimmered mercilessly. The smooth hull was like a dagger, with slender spikes protruding from the bow of the ship and piercing the void.
It has a streamlined dark gray metal frame and a large imperial double-headed eagle emblem on the plow-shaped bow. The shining golden double-headed eagle is inexplicably inconsistent with the style of this giant ship.
Next to the double-headed eagle emblem is an iron-gray skull emblem of the same size - the emblem of the Death Guard.
Next to her, those exquisite little battleships pale in comparison to mere ants.
This giant ship is like a scythe in the hand of death, silently cutting through the universe.
Of course Hades knows what it is - the mothership of the Death Guard, the Glory Queen-class battleship, the Endurance!
This is so beautiful.
Different from Hades's imagination of adding thrusters to the church, the low-key and cold Endurance is completely the space battleship in anyone's dream.
This beautiful flagship was given to Mortarion by the Emperor for nothing.
Hades admitted that at that moment, he was indeed jealous.
Mortarion smiled,
"This is the Endurance, the battleship we are on now." "It's
so beautiful."
"I decorated her. This girl has never been so beautiful before."
Indeed, the gray-green one The main color is Mortarion's work; before that, the Twilight Raiders used crimson.
"Too much decoration will always obscure her own beauty." "
In the future, I plan to engrave on her bow all the battles the Death Guard has experienced."
Mortarion rarely smiled with some pride,
you The boy is just here to show off!
Hades felt his teeth itching.
After that
, Mortarion told Hades to start training with the company tomorrow. These few Terran standard months happened to be small training.
Hades recently had to follow the company to familiarize himself with how a Space Marine fought.
Even though Mortarion very much hopes to place Barbarus descendants in the management positions of the company as soon as possible, the Barbarus warriors who have just undergone transformation surgery and whose average training time does not exceed six standard Terran months are still not qualified for any position. .
They haven't even reached the standard of being a proper Space Marine yet.
If Mortarion wanted to arrange for Barbarians to be in management positions, he would have to have a shortage of qualified veterans. Only after the new generation of Barbarians had made military exploits could they start to do this.
So currently, all affairs of the legion are still in charge of Terran veterans.
Mortarion can't provide help to Hades on the surface. After all, as the original body, he also needs to establish his prestige in the military. He promoted a "new recruit" in the eyes of the Terrans just after he took office. He is obviously a A reckless move.
Following Mortarion, Hades basically visited the places he might have frequented after boarding the Endurance, and by the way, he visited some places with beautiful scenery, high technology, dazzling and ornamental places . Take a look.
They began to return. Mortarion and Hades took the elevator inside the Endurance and slowly climbed toward the Space Marine resting area.
Looking at the densely packed floor numbers on the elevator, Hades suddenly remembered something while waiting for the long elevator.
Wait, Mortarion came to him alone?
The Death Guard also has a very distinctive unit, which is the Death Shroud, the original bodyguard of the original body Mortarion.
These warriors wearing heavy Terminator power armor would silently follow the original body Mortarion forty-nine steps away to protect the safety of the original body.
Soldiers who become death shrouds will be marked as "killed" in their own company.
Maybe it's because it's still in the running-in period, so Mortarion hasn't built the Death Shroud yet, Hades thought.
But this isn’t right either?
When Grandma Liu visited the Grand View Garden just now, except for some mortal crew members and servants, Hades did not see any other Death Guards.
Hades looked at Mortarion a little cautiously,
"Mortarion, you are now the leader of the Death Guard, right?"
"Yeah."
Mortarion snorted happily.
".Aren't you very busy now?"
As if he realized what Hades was insinuating, Mortarion's calm voice sounded as before,
"It's rest time now."
Hades silently glanced at the elevator. Time floats on the elevator wall,
[21:36 Standard Terran Time]
Considering that all Space Marines are macho men who only sleep four hours a day, at this point in time, it is far from rest time.
Hades looked at Mortarion again.
Mortarion fell silent.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Eventually, Mortarion couldn't take it anymore.
