Chapter 70 66. Talk (Part 2)
In the empty universe, the smooth hull of the Endurance slowly floated among the stars.
It is like a dagger in the hand of death, quietly waiting for the next death.
Crowds of people flowed over it, as busy as ants.
In a hidden and inconspicuous corner of it, a conversation related to the fate of the entire legion was taking place at this moment.
Hades faced everyone and sighed deeply.
[I will talk to Mortarion. ]
[I try my best, I swear. ]
Looking over with gratified eyes, Barasin said,
[We are here to thank you. ]
The topic seems to end here.
But Barasin continued,
[Hades, what are your plans for the future? ]
[I heard that you seem to be very interested in the foundry department. ]
If he enters the Foundry Department, the Space Marine's promotion path and position within the legion will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Unlike the Iron Hands, or Iron Warriors, Techmarines and Forgemasters who would gain high prestige within the Legion and enter management ranks, the Death Guard's Techmarines have always been marginalized.
But in previous observations, Hades himself showed a high degree of enthusiasm for the casting department.
Barazin originally wanted Hades to enter management, which also meant that Hades would give up the path of technical sergeant.
But now.
If Hades himself didn't want to join the management, then helping him join the casting department would be considered a favor.
More importantly, Hades, who became a technical sergeant, even if he gained a high reputation in the Terran army in the future, he could only serve as a technical sergeant in the Foundry Department to assist the legion and could not directly participate in the management of the legion.
This is another aspect of bondage, or insurance.
Hades, who was sitting opposite him, showed a thoughtful expression after hearing his words.
As for Hades, he has always tended to be an autistic technical guy, solving any problem by rubbing nuclear bombs with his hands.
The experience in Barbarus also told him that without qualified equipment, it would be impossible for them to kill the alien lord Nacre.
Even in this world where spiritual energy is flying everywhere and subspace truly exists, Hades still hopes to use the power of technology!
Although here, the extensive application of advanced equipment is not only a matter of research and development, but also involves issues such as raw material supply, casting, rationing, and approval.
But Hades still felt that if he could develop new technology, it would still be a wonderful thing.
As a Space Marine, his peak is under the original body. As the deputy of a legion, he controls the direction of the legion's future battles.
But, as a technical sergeant, a motor oil man in a certain sense, then his upper limit is
Belisarius Caul!
No moles, some Warhammer jokes, you can of course produce more Primaris Space Marines to solve all problems.
Ahem, no, if as a technical sergeant, Hades develops new technologies and chooses to share them, then the wars he can "participate in" are not just those experienced by his own legion.
Every bullet fired by the weapon he designed will bear his blood.
Even if a person kills people day in and day out, he can only kill people in single units.
But if it is a luminous spear
, Hades knows that as a technical sergeant, he will maximize his abilities in a higher sense of the dimension.
This is no longer based on realistic interest considerations, but the pursuit of personal ideals.
So --
[Yes, out of my own ability and desire, I would love to become a Tech Sergeant. ]
Barasin smiled.
[Okay, I will explain your wishes to the foundry department. ]
[But]
Barasin changed the topic,
[If you want to become a technical sergeant, you need to go to Mars to study for at least thirty years. ]
[There happened to be a transport fleet from Mars recently, and you can leave with them in two months. ]
[This may cause you to miss part of the Death Guard's grinding period. ]
[But if you are willing to stay, you can wait for the next Mars mission. ]
But Hades's mind is not at all on Barasin's words now -
Mars
means that he can take a look at Terra?
No, it should be the Earth.
Hades felt a faint pain in his heart. As an Earthling who was inexplicably thrown into a strange and cruel place, every time he couldn't hold on any longer and cried like a fart, that blue star The beautiful planet and the hometown in his dreams will always echo in his heart.
Of course he wants to go. He wants to take a look at the earth.
In fact, until now Hades has not figured out whether he has traveled through the world or through time.
If you take a look at Tyra, you might understand?
This is also him, with only a few personal relationships left.
But
Hades suddenly realized something was wrong.
[It takes at least thirty Terran standard years to go to Mars? ]
[Yes. ]
Barasin stared at Hades in confusion.
Will Mortarion let him pass?
It seems that he has to have a good talk with Mortarion.
As for whether to go to Mars now, Hades's preference is to go now.
It didn't matter if he missed the training period, he didn't really want to miss the first battle of the Death Guard -
Galaspa.
This battle was a turning point for both the Death Guard and Mortarion.
Hades didn't want to miss it.
[I hope to leave soon without having to wait. ]
[Okay. ]
Balasin nodded,
[Also.]
Balasin's expression became serious again,
[Which one do you recommend more, Karas or Vox? ]
? !
Are you now asking for his opinion?
Hades was shocked, and then spoke without hesitation. If he hesitated for a second, it would be his dereliction of duty,
[Vox. ]
Even though Calastiphon has not rebelled now, he is still loyal and has his own opinions and character.
But to Hades, he is a landmine that may explode at any time.
Hades must set up insurance in advance to minimize losses.
Barazin looked at Hades, and it seemed that Vox was
the replacement captain of the first company.
He originally chose Karas, but after the psychic incident in the Duel Cage, Barazin was unsure again.
Although Karas had a good relationship with the original body, his character and the things he had done did not make Barazin hand over this position to him.
Although Vox is not familiar with the original body, his ability, strategy, and control may be a more suitable choice for Barasin.
But in fact, Barasin sighed silently in his heart, this position should have belonged to Hades.
However, the two parties have already reached an agreement, and it seems that there is no need for him to say anything more.
At the end of the meeting, Balazin said to Hades,
[Chief think tank Fernando has recently applied to me to meet with you. You'd better go and take a look. ]
[He may want to apologize to you. ]
Oh, really?
Well, let me read for a while
. A recent comment from a book friend made me read the original works related to the Death Guard again, and then I found that I did deviate from some of the characters.
Although the images of the characters in many books are not uniform, when I was writing, I analyzed two books (and many analyzes) before starting to write.
But I found that I was still led astray by part of the analysis (md, I only remembered the second analysis setting, but not the original work), which caused my portrayal of the Fourteenth Legion to be distorted and failed to restore the feeling of the original work.
It’s also because I don’t have enough writing skills... But the deal is done, so I can only follow my settings...
Although the images of the characters in each book are sometimes contradictory, I still let me e for a while. If it were me who had just finished reading the original work, If you look at this article I wrote again, you probably won’t be satisfied...
There may be many more things like this in the future... I’m really sorry...
Happy reading (_)
