Barbaros, Southern Swamp, Monitor Village.
The third year since Hades arrived in the South.
.
White mist rolled, Mortarion stood with a scythe in his hand, and Hades also stood up with his scythe three or four meters away from him. The young man was still lying there unconscious.
The oppressive feeling from Mortarion weighed down Hades, and Hades even felt his breathing becoming rapid.
Damn it, Mortarion's adoptive father, Knakre, Hades was sure that he had touched Mortarion's reverse scale.
But if Hades didn't tell him about this, Mortarion would have to face it sooner or later.
No, we have to hurry up and smooth things over now! Otherwise, Mortarion will chop Hades down sooner or later!
Hades once again shamelessly succumbed to reality!
"I believe, and I hope, that you can successfully kill Nakre."
only
"Then why do you say that?"
"I just want to know. Death, in your heart, which is more important, revenge or the people of Barbarus?"
Mortarion was wearing a hood, and his breath mask covered most of his face, making it difficult to see his expression.
But on the exposed upper half of Mortarion's face, there were some tiny wrinkles around his eyes.
Hades knew that he was hesitating.
Mortarion hesitated.
He just knew it.
Hades sighed in his heart, it was destined to be like this, it was a trick of fate, this was Mortarion's inner demon and the source of his corruption.
Among the twenty-one Primarchs, Mortarion's corruption began when he landed on Barbarus.
Damn, what if Hades really runs away from the Death Guard by himself, and then watches Mortarion and the Death Guards fall together
grass.
"people."
Mortarion added,
"My adoptive father Nakre is the one who deprived me of everything and denied me everything. He is the existence I hate the most."
"And the people of Barbarus."
"They accepted me as someone who had nothing, they gave me the value and meaning of existence, and they entrusted themselves to me."
“They are the value of my existence.”
"To resist all injustice."
Is that true, Mortarion
A voice whispered deep inside Mortarion.
We all have selfish desires. Will you really give up on taking revenge on that tyrant
Didn't you always swear to kill him? Why did you betray your former self
Mortarion hesitated.
"No," he whispered to himself, "the people chose me, they entrusted me with their trust, and I cannot be the first to betray them."
"I can't be the next tyrant."
He cut off the voice in his heart.
If Hades could hear Mortarion's inner monologue, his expression would probably be quite interesting.
First, that voice was definitely haunted.
Second, after all, it was the people who "abandoned" Mortarion first!
This is an unsolvable problem.
After all you can't ask humans not to worship the Emperor.
Mortarion crouched down and gently picked up the young man lying on the ground, then he stood up again, scythe in one hand.
"Thanks for your question, Hades."
Mortarion looked towards Hades, his eyes unclear.
He chose the people, and from beginning to end, he only chose this one.
Hades stood there, also looking back at Mortarion, but Mortarion could see no suspicion or malice in his eyes.
Just anxiety and worry.
Mortarion spoke.
"But you shouldn't doubt me."
"You've changed a lot in these years."
"Let's go back to the base and stop fighting aliens in the wild."
Mortarion did not think that Hades no longer trusted him. He just had a more calm and mature demeanor. The feelings that Mortarion was familiar with before had not changed.
(For example, making inappropriate jokes and still liking to do some off-line actions.)
The question Hades asks will not become a reality, and this choice will not appear in reality.
Perhaps Hades was being overly pessimistic. Often being alone in the dangerous wilderness does make one feel that the future is bleak.
Unfortunately, everyone in the stronghold hated Hades because of his physical condition.
I should pay more attention to my friends, but I'd better wait until I kill Nakre.
.
Compared to Typhon, a loyal partner who often speaks out and makes straightforward decisions, Hades is more like a not-so-serious friend to Mortarion.
For example, he often pulled Mortarion aside to chat, even though Mortarion himself was not familiar with this way of killing time.
.
The youth would soon awaken, and Mortarion would have to get him to the safety of the village before he did.
Mortarion was ready to leave. He turned sideways to face Hades, signaling Hades to end his conversation.
Hades was a little shocked.
Just now, Mortarion was concerned about himself? !
Damn it, brother, you just put a knife to my neck!
Well, there is only one possibility now - that is - Hades has gained enough favor from Mortarion!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!
Hades wanted to throw away his sickle, raise his arms high, and shout "I did it! I got enough favorability!"
Before, when I was still young, before Mortarion became the commander of the stronghold, those persistent feedings, those experiences of fighting together, those cold jokes from time to time.
Finally, they had gained enough favor from Mortarion.
Besides, Hades also wanted to get down on his knees and thrash around, yelling "Oh, shit!"
—After all, the number of people who cared about Hades in this life and the past life could be counted on one hand!!!
Ahem, these are all imagined by the area of Hades' brain responsible for improper things.
The area of the brain responsible for normal life is still thinking intensely.
It was obvious that the conversation had ended, and Hades had no idea how much Mortarion had thought about his problem.
But his original purpose had been achieved, which was to give Mortarion a warning.
But he didn't know if Mortarion could figure out Hades' true intentions on his own.
After all, the plot in the original book about a macho man falling from the sky is indeed a bit beyond human imagination.
As for Mortarion's final decision
That was something Hades could not do anything about.
Alas, other time travelers either use cheat codes to kill people at will, or use system cheats to cheat.
Only Hades himself can't even think too much about the plot. He usually just kills small fry. According to the setting, he can't even defeat a single famous person.
Thank you, fucking Warhammer world.
Hades shrugged and slowly walked to the edge of the road.
"Goodbye, Death. I will. I will go back when I am done cleaning up."
Mortarion nodded.
"Let's go back to the North. The war in the South is almost over."
Hades scratched his head and laughed.
"Okay, I'll go back! Help you fight Nakre!!!"
Hades made way and watched Mortarion and Vorcus leave.
.
When Mortarion reached the village's security zone, the aura of Hades behind him suddenly disappeared.
[In the Subspace]
Nurglings smiled and jumped on His fat. The large tumors with rotten and festering flesh were Nurglings' favorite paradise.
At the limit of the endless garden, at the edge where the flowers of flesh and blood gradually wither and the carrion flies no longer flutter, at the other side where life and death both feel too far away—
The shrill cry of a hoarse songbird rose up, traveling through time and space, crossing life and death, breaking through the infinitely changing gale, splitting the waves of eternal stagnation.
He raised the spoon in which he was still stirring, swung his short arms, and waved it over there, and the thick cell fluid dripped reluctantly into the boiling endless soup pot.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! He's mine!!! He's with me!!"
The birdsong echoed unwillingly for a long time.
"Annoying guy."
He muttered.
Damn it, Mortarion, please change your gender, please.
Oh, by the way, there is no female protagonist in this article. I am not into lust.
Also, don't expect too much from this book, I'm a newbie (;Д｀) It's a good thing that everyone cares so much about this book, but the author is very panicked (;Д｀). In essence, the protagonist is still a bit like Long Aotian, and this book is different from the current mainstream Warhammer fan fiction. Can you find any serious Warhammer novel with a protagonist who has funny attributes? _(:з」∠)_ (pointing and pointing.jpg)
