This can be regarded as the best-lit place for the Death Guard on the star ring, with white light illuminating the space without blind spots.
Hades stood outside the medical room, and in front of him was the pharmacist Leo.
"It is estimated that 1,377 new recruits will be able to successfully join the Death Guard."
Leo retrieved the data of this transformation and reported to Hades.
"good."
To Hades's surprise, the conversion rate of this operation was still very high.
Soon, the Death Guard will gain a new batch of soldiers from Barbarus.
After training, these recruits will join several companies that suffered heavy losses in Galapagos.
We can now start the subsequent recruit training plan.
After leaving the medical room, Hades pondered while calling up the original training plan of the Death Guard, or the Dusk Raiders, preparing to give a big gift package to the new recruits.
However, at the corner of the corridor, a dark object suddenly appeared in his face. Even though Hades didn't sense any malicious intent at first, he almost fired a bomb at it.
"Hello, Sergeant Hades."
The Druid Sage, who had no idea that he was doing anything wrong, followed Hades' footsteps and greeted him calmly.
"Hello."
Hades' mouth twitched, but he still maintained a polite tone.
Although these sages probably don't care about this.
"The successful transformation rate of the new recruits this time has reached a very ideal number."
The sound of electricity sounded steadily.
Under the helmet, Hades glanced at the biological sage. Indeed, the organs and gene seeds this time were provided by this sage.
After the Death Guard gene seed library was almost attacked, Mortarion made a special trip to visit this biological sage alone and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to him.
Of course, the sage was not polite at all and took the opportunity to draw a lot of Mortarion's blood for the production of a new batch of high-quality gene seeds.
Hades wanted to laugh when he thought of Mortarion sitting there with his head down and letting the sage draw his blood.
Ahem, let’s get back to the topic. Why did this sage come to see Hades
"Yes, thank you for your skills."
"May Om Messiah continue to shine His glory upon you."
After taking over the sage's words, Hades casually recited a prayer, which was something that came naturally when dealing with the mechanical sage.
It also makes it convenient for the sage to end his previous topic and make his intention clear.
“Praise Om Messiah.”
The druid also responded to Hades' prayer reflexively.
A brief silence fell over them, but finally, the sage druid spoke hesitantly.
"Sergeant Hades, I want to ask, are the Death Guard going to relocate all the Barbarus people to the Star Ring?"
Hades blinked. He remembered that Mortarion had communicated with the Mechanicus. Recently, the construction work on the star ring has been in full swing.
"Yes."
Hades said,
"Due to the harsh environment of Barbarus, we plan to migrate most of the people of Barbarus to the star ring and build a city around the Barbarus star ring."
"And what about Barbaros?"
The druid asked tentatively, his red robe swaying as the sage walked.
Through the analysis of the Mechanicus during this period, they discovered that this technical sergeant named Hades had a great say in the Death Guard.
Generally, technical sergeants who have received education on Mars have a very favorable impression of the Mechanicus, so in the eyes of other sages, the druids are here now.
Hades thought briefly and remembered that most of the sages stationed on the Barbarus Star Ring and assigned to transform the environment of Barbarus seemed to be very impatient.
And after Hades verified that the environmental problems on Barbarus were caused by psychic energy, these sages became completely impatient.
Few sages of the Mechanicus have dabbled in the fields of psionics and the warp. These two fields are relatively blank in the Mechanicus and are secretly not recognized by the mainstream.
The current research of the Mechanicus on psychic energy is related to the instructions of the Emperor.
Ordinary wise men, unless they have any serious illness, will not touch this thankless field.
Of course, this further highlights the uniqueness of Kirkland Sage.
Hades took a silent breath and refocused his attention on the present.
He stared at the druid sage's repaired body.
So this is... the sages have launched an alliance with the Death Guard, which currently has a good relationship with them, to test the waters
It is very likely that these sages want to run away, as Barbarus is not suitable for them to continue researching.
"Thanks to the Mechanicus for their previous efforts on Barbarus."
Hades thought for a moment and spoke.
"Sage, you have also seen the paper I wrote about the environment of Barbarus."
"It is true that conventional methods are no longer effective against Barbarus, but the more radical methods will most likely not be allowed by the Legion Commander."
"So what does Sergeant Hades think now?"
The sage druid spread out his two main limbs as if to show his sincerity and asked Hades.
Hades hesitated for a moment.
"I still hope to try to imitate the obelisk you saw before."
"According to the existing formulas and data, the Black Stone Obelisk Matrix should be able to suppress or eliminate the psychic attachment of Barbarus."
"But at present, the construction of the star ring is more important, and the replica of the black stone obelisk. According to the information left by Sage Kirkland, a large amount of black stone is needed."
Hades specifically said that it was the creation of the Kirkland Sage, so it can't be said to be an alien, that's right.
"So, the construction of the Barbarus mainland may be delayed, and the Star Ring will be the main focus for now."
"Of course, if you have any suggestions now, you can tell me first. If it is appropriate, I will report it to the legion commander."
"I do have a few suggestions, Sergeant Hades."
"First of all, because of the new people entering the Star Ring, the population has surged. I suggest that we disperse the population in the buildings that are currently being built to prevent an outbreak of plague."
This was actually the personal idea of the Druid Sage. When he was arguing with other sages about the construction of the star ring, the other sages decisively chose cities with higher density because it was more conducive to centralized production.
What if a plague breaks out
It’s okay. The loss of production efficiency caused by several plagues is not as great as the production advantages brought by centralized production.
But the sage druid did not think so. As a sage who analyzed some of the creatures in Barbarus, the druid was keenly aware that the bacteria and viruses here were more likely to mutate and spread.
Hades frowned. He had been in charge of the new recruits and the functional positioning of the star ring recently. The city construction part was entirely handed over to the Mechanicus.
But now it seems that I still have to keep an eye on it.
"Okay, thank you for your suggestion."
"I will consult with the sage of construction in a moment."
Fortunately, major construction has not yet started, and we are just moving construction materials, which has already been planned.
Seeing that Hades readily agreed to his suggestion, the sage druid thought happily,
Even if those sages said so, what can he do? The final decision on the construction of the star ring still lies with the Legion.
"Then the second one,"
The sage druid thought of the nice words his colleague had said when he pushed him out.
Barbarus is indeed not worth exploring again, and most of the sages have wanted to leave long ago. In the past, such a planet would have its ecosystem directly destroyed and then reconstructed.
But since the Death Guard valued this planet so much, the sages who could not change anything started to think of other things.
It would be better to go with the flow and do a favor to see if this technical soldier who seems to be in charge of technology can relax and try to see if some of the sages can leave first.
After all, the order for them to come here was issued directly by the empire, so it was not easy for them to just leave.
In fact, some of the sages currently stationed on the Barbarus Star Ring are Martian sages who came here with the Empire's Great Expedition, and some are sages directly transferred from the nearby Forge World.
Apart from Mars, the largest Forge World is Graia.
These sages from Graeae did not attach as much importance to the Empire's docking department as the Martian sages did. With their own forging planet nearby, they had already wanted to run away and go home.
"Sergeant Hades, the Sages are also deeply saddened by Barbarus's situation."
The druid spoke slowly, and electronic pulses flowed rapidly through the cables.
"So we wanted to see if there was anything we could do."
"It just so happens that the black stone you want has been found after the sages' search."
"We discovered that there is a lot of output on a subordinate mining planet of the Graia Forge World."
"If the Death Guard needs it, the sages from Graeae are willing to provide the Legion with abundant Blackstone resources."
In the scientific research of the Mechanicus, black stone is a V-type ore, which is useless except for making decorations and hitting people.
If you use some useless stones.
The Druid Sage stopped walking when he saw Hades.
"Thank you for the Black Stone, sages. As a technical sergeant of the Death Guard, I am grateful."
"How can the Death Guard thank these wise men from the Forge World of Graeae?"
Hades looked at the druid sages. He could probably guess what these sages wanted to do.
But this did remind Hades.
The Death Guard requires a deep collaboration with the Forge World.
They needed an arms supply point other than Mars.
Hades stared at the sage, but the sage, who had no idea of Hades's thoughts, was still thinking about his own things.
"That's an exaggeration. However, if we want to transfer those ores, some sages need to return to the Graia Forge World to apply for approval."
No, it is not necessary.
The druid sage knew that there was no need to apply for the use of such useless ore.
This was totally an excuse to leave.
But he still gave Hades his best possible friendly expression and stretched out his most human-like main limb.
"That's all. What do you think?"
Hades smiled and took the hand offered by the sage.
Let him think about how to get on top of this forging world.
A forge world, this is not easy to cooperate. These mechanical sages, which symbolize one head of the imperial double-headed eagle, are more sophisticated than most imperial departments.
But if a Forge World is built, then the Death Guard’s subsequent equipment replenishment will be settled.
And if they are lucky, the Death Guard may be able to temporarily gain command of the Titan Legion on this Forge World.
Yes, except for the future Warmaster who has direct leadership of the Titan Legion, the rest of the Titan Legion belong to the Mechanicus Titan Adeptus Adeptus Mechanicus, and their relationship with the Legion is that of allies. The commanders of each Legion can only call upon and temporarily command them.
If it's a great expedition, it's fine, but if a great rebellion starts, no one knows which side these mechanical sages who manage the Titans are on.
The ties between the various Forge Worlds and the Martian Empire are actually quite loose, so it is necessary to secure a Forge World close to the Death Guard for the Legion.
Hmm. Or maybe Legion loyalists.
Hades remained calm and kept his voice in a satisfactory state.
"Thank you for the suggestions, sage druid. They are all very good suggestions."
"By the way, can you tell me more about the batch of black stones used to forge the world of Graeae?"
