The light faintly chirped in the darkness. Hades stared at the lamp and thought that the Death Guard must have the most comprehensive experience in turning off lights and saving electricity besides the Night Lords.
Cloudy days are suitable for sleeping. Not long after the pharmacist Leo left, Hades began to feel sleepy. It was too exhausting to argue with someone like Tarasim who never got tired, so he closed his eyes and began to sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he was startled to see Mortarion sitting silently in the darkness.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Mortarion said nothing, remaining silent.
Hades' heart skipped a beat, don't tell him that the Death Guard has been sent again, the last time he lay in the infirmary, bad memories caught up with him.
".What's wrong?"
Hades asked timidly.
The silence was so close that the silent voice came from behind the breathing mask.
".You are still alive."
Hades was stunned. What do you mean he is still alive? Of course he is still alive.
Hades blinked. Oh, he had the final black domain explosion, and at the very end, he seemed to have used a little bit of the power of the Star God
Then he lost his memory, and later his body was picked up by the King of Figures.
Hmm. So it seems that when he opened the black domain, the others should also be in a semi-short state, and the Necrons will not be affected, which put the air strike team in a very dangerous situation.
Hades' heart skipped a beat.
"How are the members of the air raid team?"
Mortarion said slowly,
".All alive."
Then the Primarch added, "I mean the Death Guard."
Hades naturally asked the next question.
"Where are the Iron Warriors?"
Mortarion fell silent.
The two fell silent again.
Hades' mind was full of question marks, but the most likely probability at the moment was that Mortarion and Perturabo were having a conflict, and Mortarion might not be happy to see his warriors care about other legion soldiers.
"Well, I was just asking about the damage."
Mortarion's eyes were dim under his hood, staring at Hades.
"So what is your hope?"
Hades winked.
"Although I am a soldier of the Death Guard, if the soldiers of other legions fighting against me suffered heavy casualties, it would also be a manifestation of my incompetence."
Mortarion looked away, and the Primarch said glumly,
“Zero deaths.”
Hades always felt that the atmosphere was not right, like the calm before the storm. Although Mortarion and Perturabo might not get along with each other, there was probably no reason for Mortarion to directly discriminate against the entire Iron Warriors, right
"You don't seem to be very happy to see the Iron Warriors have a zero death rate?"
Hades tried to attack indirectly.
"Don't you realize what's happening?"
But Mortarion suddenly said in a muffled voice,
“Yes, yes, you may not know what happened later.”
"I, do I care about the death toll of his Iron Warriors? Does he care about that of my Death Guard!"
"After you guys lifted the ground-based anti-aircraft defenses, that bastard just ordered a bombing of the entire area!"
"As long as there are still Death Guards in this area, and as long as the Death Guard commander is still in this area!"
"Indiscriminately, bombed the entire area!"
"That bastard, he doesn't care about his cubs because he knows his cubs will dig holes to avoid air raids."
"But he just exposed the Death Guard right there in the area!"
A series of loud Barbarian curse words came out of Mortarion's mouth. The Primarch's speaking speed was so fast that Hades had reason to believe that Mortarion had cursed like this countless times.
From a heartless bastard to a dead toad in the mud, Mortarion almost used all the few words that Barbarus could use to curse.
"They also said my tactics were too cruel? Too extreme?"
Hades silently shifted his gaze towards the lamp that was flickering weakly.
Hey, look at this lamp, it really looks like a lamp.
Ahem, no, Hades moved his thoughts back to reality. No wonder Mortarion was so abnormal. It turned out that the Death Guard was blown up by Perturabo's order.
ah?!
Hades couldn't hold back this time. Although he knew Perturabo was like this, he was just joking in the past. But now Perturabo really wanted to fight for the situation and directly backstabbed the Death Guard!
Hades felt like he almost coughed up blood. He was careless this time and forgot that some primarchs could use this trick.
Let him think about this kind of Primarch, as well as Fenugreek and Horus Lupercal. The next time they cooperate with other legions, they must let the Death Guard take charge of the clearance and support of their main battlefield.
But now, Hades looked at Mortarion who was still swearing, and he had to calm the legion commander down.
Calm down, calm down! Hades himself was the one who was blown up by Perturabo!
He was the one who was bombed!
If there was no King of Figures, Hades would have really died there!
Although Hades knew that he would die on a battlefield, perhaps it would be a battle that would go down in history, or perhaps it would just be a small battle.
But it’s not the kind of death that comes from being bombed by friendly forces!
A feeling of powerlessness mixed with anger and absurdity surged up along the dim light and slapped Hades as if in provocation.
Hades took a deep breath.
"Mortarion?"
The Primarch stopped cursing, and Mortarion looked at Hades with anger in his eyes.
"I just want to ask one thing. Did you try to cut Perturabo?"
Mortarion was stunned. In the Primarch's impression, Hades was always the one who smiled and tried to smooth things over (and was rated as the best-tempered Death Guard). Just now, Hades was trying to ask about the number of casualties among the Iron Warriors.
But after hearing what Hades said, Mortarion sneered and said, "See, even Hades couldn't tolerate what Perturabo had done."
"Cut it off."
Mortarion said with pride and satisfaction,
"No one can harm the Death Guard without paying the price in blood."
Mortarion began to tell Hades how he had slashed Perturabo.
In fact, after Mortarion struck Perturabo the first time, Mortarion tried to drag Perturabo toward the dueling cage, but Perturabo rejected him every time.
But it doesn't matter. Every time Perturabo rejected Mortarion, Mortarion would try to challenge Perturabo to a small duel in the corridor of Iron Blood, and then use his censer to blow up the entire corridor, making it unusable for a long time.
The special poisonous gas filled the entire corridor. Except for those who were equipped with special respirators and were tough enough in the death shrouds, the iron warriors could only fall to the ground with a cough.
Perturabo looked at Mortarion angrily, and Mortarion gave him a look that was equally cold and angry in response.
"You are the worst 'brother' I have ever met."
"You just take advantage of the fact that you were born on a dirty agricultural planet and wantonly trample on the discipline of the Empire, throwing your dirty poison gas everywhere."
"The Emperor never told me that the discipline of the Empire is to bomb friendly forces."
Mortarion rushed forward with his sickle.
Hades listened to how Mortarion kept picking on Perturabo and swallowed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
According to Mortarion, Mortarion has successfully disabled three corridors of the Iron Warriors.
Hades wanted to laugh when he thought of Perturabo looking at the corridors of his flagship filled with corrosive poisonous gas, but he felt that the road of cooperation between the Death Guard and the Iron Warriors had basically come to an end.
Moreover, Mortarion and the Death Guard have a good reputation among other legions. If word gets out...
Hades looked at Mortarion. He wanted to say that maybe Mortarion didn't care about the Death Guard and his own image in other legions, but Hades, Hades still had to have some shame!
Perturabo has a very bad character, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own circle among the Primarchs. Perturabo has a good relationship with Magnus.
This wave, this wave is social death.
Hades Spits Soul
But Mortarion was right!
What Hades didn't know was that Mortarion's persistent actions also successfully made Perturabo realize that he seemed to have ordered the bombing of a very important Death Guard.
