Chapter 68 64. Meeting (Part 1)
Endurance, hidden conference room.
Now.
.This
is not a big space.
In a simple conference room, an outdated and rare mechanical clock hung on the white wall, ticking boringly. A flag hangs from another wall, but it has no decoration, just a plain color with some yellowing on the edges.
There was a long table in the center of the room. The six company commanders were separated and sat on both sides of the long table. On the short side facing the door, sat the chief commander of the Death Guard and the commander of the first company - Ba
. Racine.
There was a small lamp placed in front of each person, which was the only light source in the room. The yellow light hummed feebly, barely illuminating the already dark room.
"Please take a seat."
Balazin spoke from the opposite side. The Barbarian language spoken in a high Gothic tone was particularly weird. The light pronunciation was emphasized, which caused the phrase to stutter one after another.
He motioned for Hades to sit on the other side of the long table, facing him.
[Thanks. ]
Fluent High Gothic.
Hades sat down.
There was a brief silence, and the clock on the wall ticked.
[You don't look surprised. ]
Barasin looked at Hades and spoke calmly.
[I am more or less aware of such a special training method. ]
Hades answered fluently.
[.It was because we were abrupt and did not make arrangements properly. ]
Hades blinked, he didn't expect the other party to be so polite.
[No, no, no, I really enjoy training with everyone from Terra. I also learned a lot of different tactics. ]
After hearing Hades's answer, Barasin still looked calm and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
[Let us both be honest. ]
[Hades. ]
[The ghost from Barbarus, right? ]
Hades nodded.
It seems that the other party has checked some of his affairs on Barbarus in detail. This is not only an expression of sincerity, but also a secret demonstration.
The opponent is the hunter hiding in the shadows, while Hades is the prey that has long been exposed to the sun.
But the other party has no ill intentions. This demonstration is just to increase their bargaining chips.
The hunter spoke,
[As the former interim commander of the Twilight Raiders, the chief commander of the active Death Guard, and the commander of the first company, I hope that we can reach some agreement with you. ]
[Please speak. ]
[Please let me state our reasons to you first. ]
[Perhaps you have also learned that after the return of each original body, the Legion's recruiting planet will generally be changed to the original body's home planet, instead of recruiting troops on Terra. ]
[This also means that we from Terra are destined to be the past tense. ]
Hades remained motionless, waiting for Barasin to continue,
[But the iteration of the legion did not happen overnight. It was a long process, which could even last hundreds of years. ]
[During this period, every battle and every change meant the decrease of the Terran people. ]
[Our status will become more and more marginalized. ]
Hades spoke, damn, his voice was a bit hoarse.
[So you hope that after this, I can]
Hades thought for a while and picked a word,
[Care for these Terrans? ]
Several other people who were originally as still as statues began to move. Some people blinked, while others looked away. Jialuo continued to remain motionless.
But Barasin laughed, and a smile spread at the corner of his mouth,
"It seems that you are not too modest, which will make our conversation much smoother." ]
[Yes, yes, that's it, but it's more than that. ]
The rare smile disappeared again, and Barasin said seriously,
[In fact, we need your help now. ]
Several other people at the table also looked at Hades,
[During the contact with the original body, we realized that our original body may not appreciate us very much. ]
He did not use "Legion Commander", nor "Lord Mortarion", nor "Father".
Barasin said "primarch".
Rebellion in the details.
This time it was Hades' turn, and he planned to explore the other party's plans again.
Hades raised his eyebrows,
[So... you want me to talk to Mortarion? ]
Barasin was silent.
Then he spoke again,
[.You could say, yes. ]
[We hope you can improve the Primarch's attitude towards us. ]
A single thought from the original body could mean the difference between life and death on the next battlefield.
[I know, this is very inconsistent with the internal rules of the legion. ]
[But we learned that someone has already done this. ]
[Moreover, you and that person have a life-long friendship. ]
Hades was silent.
Although it was inappropriate, Hades always felt that he was a pendant doll that ascended in the name of Mortarion or something.
Well. In a sense, it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish I made in Barbarus.
Well,
no, no, no, now is not the time to think about this.
If Mortarion is asked to change his view on Terrans, Hades feels that it is unlikely that he can defeat the God of Death, but if Mortarion is asked not to deliberately eliminate Terrans. Hades feels You can try it yourself.
Hades asked,
"This kind of thing cannot be seen on the surface. How can you guarantee that I will persuade Mortarion?" ]
Barazin looked at Hades with a calm expression,
[We believe you won't. ]
At least in the previous observations, whether Hades was pretending or sincere, he had already made his attitude clear.
If Hades was sincere, then there would be no need for him to lie and hide, and he would help the Terrans.
If Hades was just pretending -
it would be even simpler.
This means that Hades discovered what the captains were thinking and chose to accept it.
In other words, he was waiting for Barasin's bargaining chip.
[If you are willing to help us, we can slowly transfer some control of the Terrans to you. ]
Why Barazin chose Karastifon in the first place was because he had a good relationship with Mortarion and met the first prerequisite.
The second prerequisite is that
he is greedy.
Balazin understood him, there was no one who was not greedy.
Because of greed, he will not give up what he can get, nor will he easily let go of what he already has.
As long as he is offered command of a portion of the Terran army, he will willingly hope to continue to expand his power within the Terran army. He would fight to preserve the Terran armies - his own treasure -
from the Primarch . In this way, it can at least be ensured that the Terrans will not be deliberately used as a purple sand army by the original body and sent to high-intensity battlefields. But... that's Calastyphon. Barazin looked at Hades opposite. In the previous character profile and analysis, Hades's image was not too inclined to this. In the profiles of Barasin and others, Hades is a man who is thoughtful on the inside but rough on the outside. At the same time, Hades is also very concerned about the internal trend of the Terrans. But he doesn't seem to be someone who is very thirsty for power. Barasin sighed silently in his heart. I hope Hades is also a person who thirsts for power . Otherwise, he is still very skilled in how to use force to attack the heart. But if not, he will have to use those illusory "love and justice" to lock the opponent. He's not good at this. Hmm... It seems that we are going to Sanjiang today? I really didn’t expect that so many people would like to read my articles. The results I have achieved so far were something I never thought about when I wrote this book. Hmm. Well, to be honest, because I don’t pay much attention to these lists on the website, I still have no idea about this score ()_(:з」∠)_So... anyway, it means that many people read my book. ? Pretty much like this? Thank you to everyone who read my article (≧▽≦)! ! ! Thank you all for your support, otherwise I wouldn’t be on this list. I will work hard (_) (It seems that you can ask for monthly tickets these days? If you have more, can you give me a few? ~(￣▽￣~)~) .. By the way, I will try my best to fight wits and so on. Okay, this is the limit of my brainpower, not the character's. They are smarter than me, so please just watch it. () Happy reading (σ′▽‵)′▽‵)σ (End of this chapter)
