A few weeks later.
"Ugo, the new Lantern Bearer of the Death Guard, meeting the commander."
Ugo, the Death Guard think tank undertaker, knocked on the door, and after receiving tacit approval, he pushed open the door of Garro's office.
Then he saw Gala sitting behind the desk with a serious face, and Hades sitting in front of the desk. When they saw him enter the room, they both looked at Ugo.
Hades looked back at Garo. He came here to look at the training materials of the Untouchables. Why did he call the psychic over? !
Moreover, the new Lantern Bearer Ugo Hades still remembers the scene of himself beating his opponent in the duel cage. Now here we see Ugo Hades silently controlling the twitching corners of his mouth.
"I think the two of you need to get to know each other, and Hades finally has some free time."
Garo's steady voice sounded, not caring at all about the awkward atmosphere between Hades and Ugo.
Hugo looked at Hades. He originally thought that he was a new recruit, but in a very short time, he became a manager. This reality hurt him a little, but Hugo remembered Fernando's instructions to him and the mistakes he had made. Finally, he took a deep breath, walked over and saluted.
"Ugo, the current leader of the Undertaker."
"You can call Hades Commander, or Sir."
Jialuo spoke up, filling in Ugo's hesitation.
Hades suddenly turned his head and looked at Gala in disbelief. What, what what what
"You go over there and wait, Ugo."
Gala pointed casually, and Ugo left temporarily and went to the soundproof meeting room next to the office to wait.
Seeing Ugo disappear, Hades finally spoke.
"What?"
"What else do you think there is?"
With a helpless look on his face, Garo pulled out a stack of documents and threw them in front of Hades.
"This is a direct transfer order from the legion commander, but I couldn't contact you before. The guys in the foundry department rejected all the meeting requests from the headquarters on your behalf."
Ever since signing the treaty with the Graeae Forge World, Garo automatically assumed that the guys in the Foundry Department were crazy. The Foundry Department, which normally might not produce any paperwork in a standard month, could produce hundreds of documents in just one standard day.
Jialuo doesn't understand those who deal with machines.
However, Galao did not need to review and approve these documents. Hades was in charge of the foundry department, so Galao just let the foundry department poach people as it was.
But now Hades has come in person to ask the untouchables managed by the gravekeeper. Naturally, Garo cannot miss this opportunity.
Garo stared at Hades.
"Did the legion commander not communicate with you privately about this matter?"
Hades blinked, and it seemed that Mortarion had indeed come to see him when he was in the laboratory before. When they met again, it was about Barbarus and Karas, and the two were busy talking about other things.
Garo looked at the silent Hades,
"Then it seems that the Legion Commander thought I had already told you."
"To make a long story short, the Death Guard has formed the Zeroth Company. It is kept secret from the outside world. You are the company commander and the commander of the corps. The troops under your command include the Death Guard's Gravekeepers, Undertaker, and Untouchables."
"But the gravekeepers are usually scattered among the various companies. Only you, me, and the legion commander have the specific list of these people."
"And the legion commander means that if you feel that the number of people in your company is too small, you can merge the Seventh Company into your company."
"Of course, it depends on your wishes."
Hades was silent.
"I remember that I was still in charge of the foundry department."
Garo nodded and looked at Hades' shoulder armor again.
"You are doing a good job. Remember to change your badge. I think only the people in the Casting Department will tolerate you managing them with the badge of a trainee technical sergeant."
Hades was speechless. The Death Guards' names were usually not very specific. People judged each other's positions based on the patterns on their shoulder armor. He was too busy and forgot about it, and Enrique didn't remind him at all.
But what the two of them didn't know was that the people in the foundry department really didn't care about these things. In the world of machinery, technical ability is king, not military rank.
"So, I am in charge of the foundry department, and now I have to take on the position of company commander?"
"More than a company commander, a special commander of the legion."
"I remember the commander was the original captain of the Second Company?"
Garo looked at Hades,
"Position change. The Corps Commander has removed the Second Company Captain's special position."
"While you were obsessed with the Forge Department, the Legion Commander made personnel changes based on the performance of the two battles. The captain of the First Company is now Vox, the captain of the Third Company is Morag, and I have been appointed as the captain of the Seventh Company, while also serving as the chief of the gravekeepers."
Hades looks at Garro, but the Gravekeepers are currently in the 0th Company, and the 7th Company can be dismantled according to Hades' wishes
"That is to say."
"That is to say, you are currently my direct supervisor."
Jialuo spoke without changing his expression.
Hades took a deep breath. He was indeed very happy to be promoted, but was it a bit too much to be in charge of things
"My idea is that I still need to focus on the work in the foundry department and Graeae."
"understand."
Garo nodded.
"Not everyone can get along well with those sages."
"So for now, the job of gravekeeper is still yours."
"OK."
"The current size of the Zero Company is acceptable. I prefer a smaller but better management model, so I will not consider merging with the Seventh Company for the time being."
"Okay, but if necessary, without specific orders from the Corps Commander, the Seventh Company will support the Zero Company in its battles."
Hades was silent,
"What is the current situation?"
"In your absence, Vox and I will serve as strategic advisors to the Corps Commander, who will directly manage the company commanders."
"It's a normal military change. The good news is that the commander now treats all companies equally. In Galaspa, Blanca led the Seventh Company and won the respect of the commander."
Hades winked.
"Is Blanca okay?"
"I'm very energetic and I won't die. I've always wanted to meet you, but Alberto from the foundry department pushed me back."
Hades coughed awkwardly a few times. He had indeed been communicating with the Foundry Department and the sages of Graeae about production. Not only him, but other people in the Foundry Department were also negotiating with the sages of Graeae.
Hades sighed lightly, then said seriously,
"Thank you for your hard work, Garo. Vox is still inexperienced after all, so it's been really hard for you these days."
Compared to the serious look just now, Jialuo looked a little tired.
"You know I used to be a combat captain of the Seventh Company. Compared to Barasi, I am not good at these things."
"The transition went relatively smoothly, thanks to Barasi's previous arrangements and the legion commander's changed view of the veterans."
"Thank you for your hard work, Jialuo. It's not easy for you either. You are the backbone of the veterans."
“Thank you.”
Garo shook her head.
"The legion has been able to move forward smoothly until now, and your contribution is also indispensable, Hades."
"Although you are with the foundry department every day."
Jia Luo laughed at himself.
"I know the foundry department has been busy for a while. Please come and see me when you are done. Vox has been under a lot of psychological pressure recently. I have talked to him several times."
"'I always feel that I am not as good as my seniors. If they come, it won't be my turn.' This kid talks about you every day. What did you do to him in the first place?"
Hades crashed during his brainstorming session, and he didn't remember what he was doing.
"Let's go to the cafeteria together?"
Garo sighed.
"I shouldn't ask you."
Gala realized that it was first Barracin, then Fernando, Blanca, Vox, Enrique, Leo and finally himself. Everyone would fall into the trap of Hades. This kid's affinity was maxed out, but he didn't know it yet.
Then let's hope that he can get along well with the next group of undertakers, and see if this kid's personal charm can overcome the inherent repulsion of the Untouchables and Psychics.
Although it was not right, Jialuo really wanted to see how long Ugo could last.
"So you have to talk to the Undertaker now, after all, they will be under your control from now on."
Jia Luo got back to the point and said,
“Back then, Barracin had a very good relationship with Fernando.”
Hades took a breath, cleared his memory of pinning down Ugo, and put on a proper expression.
"Okay, call Ugo over."
Jialuo nodded and called Ugo over on the channel. Ugo stood in front of the desk without saying a word, and Jialuo briefly introduced the transfer order from the legion commander to the lamplighter.
Hugo listened quietly and just said "got it" in a low voice.
"Okay, is there anything you two need to know? Ugo, if you have any questions, you can ask now. Commander Hades is very easy to talk to. If you don't ask now, there will be no next time."
"No sir, the Undertaker will follow the orders of Sir Hades."
Garo looked at Hades, signaling him to pry open the mouth of the stubborn lamplighter.
Hades looked at Ugo. Things were busy and it didn't matter if some things were under control, but when you think about it, there were things that Hades really needed to ask Ugo.
"Ugo, I do have something I want to know."
"Do you know the details of Fernando's death?"
Ugo's eyes widened.
The sound slipped away from the floor, leaving only silence. Hades thought that Fernando's death seemed like a normal war mistake, but the timing of the death of the original lamplighter was too coincidental. It coincided with the time when Gala and Vox were busy. Once Fernando died, the original surveillance on Karas was instantly reduced by more than half.
Hades suspected that it was done by the rebellious pharmacist Rodan, but there is no solid evidence yet.
Hades looked at Ugo, who was clearly a little sad.
"I used to be good friends with Fernando, and I'm sorry to hear this news. Fernando once told me that he had high hopes for you, but you sometimes acted on impulse."
Ugo remained silent, seemingly disagreeing with Hades's statement.
"After Fernando's death, you took over Fernando's job. You should be the one who is directly responsible for managing the pharmacist of the undertaker."
"Then why did you just let a pharmacist of the Undertaker follow a soldier of Barbary origin back to Barbaryus?"
As soon as the words came out, Ugo seemed to stop breathing.
Hades continued slowly, staring at the tabletop and casually drawing circles on it with his hands.
"I have previously entrusted the task of keeping an eye on Karas to Garo, Barasin, Vox and Fernando."
"And in the battle of Galaspar, Barasin was buried in the Dreadnought, Fernando died, and Garo and Vox were busy with many matters in Galaspar."
What a coincidence, what a coincidence, none of the people Hades entrusted noticed Karas.
"Plus, Karas was previously under the care of the undertaker's pharmacist."
"Is it because Fernando passed away so suddenly and didn't leave any instructions?"
"no."
Hugo squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
"That's why?"
"The former pharmacist Laton was good friends with my teacher Fernando, so I mainly listened to his advice in this regard."
"What did he propose?"
"He said he hopes to apply to go to Barbarus to find new recruits with psychic potential for the Undertaker."
"Then the commander of the legion issued a transfer order, instructing Laton to follow Karastiphon to Barbarus to recruit soldiers."
"How could Raton be included in the direct transfer order from the Legion Commander? Haven't you ever thought about it?"
Hugo paused for a while before saying,
"I was negligent."
Hades looked at Ugo seriously and stopped what he was doing.
"I understand. Fernando just died. It's your first time in office, so it's inevitable that you will be negligent."
However, this oversight caused Hades to screen the entire Death Guard again and turn Rodan's information upside down.
Hardy paused.
"Did you then screen the undertaker's pharmacist?"
"You and Captain Jialuo have already been screened, so I..."
Ugo stopped talking, and Hades also fell silent.
"I hope you can strengthen the management of the undertakers. I think Fernando doesn't want to see these scenes either."
Ugo nodded and replied seriously this time.
"yes."
Hades sighed softly.
"Nothing else, just work hard. Although the legion commander doesn't think highly of you, I know the importance of psychic teams to a legion. You still need to be trained."
Hades, oh Hades, you are starting to pua others too.
"By the way, go to the foundry to find Sage Kirkland. He has made some weapons for you. You can go and see if there is anything you can use."
Ugo nodded in surprise. Hades turned his head and looked at Garo.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Garo shook his head.
"Then you go first, so as not to delay your Undertaker training. Remember to get your equipment."
When the sound of Ugo closing the door rang out, Hades turned his head with a tired look on his face, and then saw Garo with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I was the one who sent Karas to Fernando. After the war, I neglected your instructions to me for personal reasons."
Hades opened his mouth, forgetting that there was a Garo listening.
“No, I’m not.”
But before Hades could finish, he was interrupted by Garo who stood up.
"You entrusted me with this very seriously, but I was indeed negligent."
"Ga Luo is willing to be punished."
Hades was already screaming internally, Stop it!
"Sit down, sit down, that's not what I meant."
"I know you were very busy at the time, I understand that, I just wanted to scare Ugo, I didn't really mean to punish him."
Garo glanced at Hades and didn't sit down.
"You still have to show me the information of the Untouchables. If you do that, I won't be able to do anything."
"This matter has passed. You don't need to do this anymore. There are many things to do right now. There is no need to do this."
Garo looked at Hades deeply and was about to sit down -
The message from Primarch Mortarion interrupted their conversation.
[Hades, Vorcus, Garro, prepare for war. Terra has sent an order. The Death Guard main fleet will set off in three days.]
