"What am I talking about?"
A doubtful voice sounded, and a faint threat hissed through the house. Mortarion turned his head and stared at Hades, his questioning eyes clear and obvious.
Damn, he was so anxious that Hades almost choked on his own words.
No, no, no, it's not right at this time! Hades quickly changed the subject.
"Why did you provoke him? The Death Guard may cooperate with the First Order in the future."
At this point in time, Mortarion's words "believe in brothers" were simply digging a hole for himself in Hades' ears. Or he said it to the executioner Lion King. What if he changed his primarch
The Lord of Death uttered a great mocking cry,
"Huh? You call this a provocation? If this kind of words can be considered a provocation, then the Death Guard would have been provoked countless times."
This statement is true to a certain extent. The meeting with Perturabo and Lion's Johnson was indeed not a wonderful one.
Hades paused, "You have to. You have to at least"
Mortarion watched Hades' performance quietly. The Primarch did not think that his words to the Lion could be called offensive.
In contrast to what Lion Jonson said to him.
"Although they are unreasonable, since the Death Guard has already started to prepare for a rainy day, we can't give them any leverage!"
Hades's critical hit! The effect was outstanding! Mortarion fell into deep thought!
Seeing Mortarion's silence, Hades touched his nose guiltily. Ahem, let alone anything else, the sentence structure of "Although others are not good, I am so and so" always made him think of bad things.
And this was equivalent to secretly cursing the lion king Leon, but considering the lion's previous attitude towards them, the curse was not wrong.
After a long while, Mortarion nodded slowly.
“It’s a reality that I don’t like, but it’s true.”
At least when it comes to accepting the unpleasant reality, Mortarion has a very high resistance. After all, this unfortunate Primarch has not experienced many things that go his way.
But he was still very unhappy and dissatisfied. When he thought of those ugly "brothers" and their arrogant appearance, Mortarion wanted to shoot them directly.
But the reality remains.
We will have contact with them in the future. We may even go to war with them. Perhaps it is a feasible solution to make the Death Guard less noticeable and not arouse the suspicion of other Primarchs.
Mortarion still wanted to fight with Perturabo or Lion Jonson. The Primarch despised those who were self-important and superior.
"So, you can refrain from saying things that might make them suspicious?"
Seeing Mortarion pondering, Hades spoke cautiously, and the resentment of Mortarion that he was "unhappy" and "wanting to fight" was about to overflow.
Mortarion sighed.
"Then you shouldn't have stopped me, Hades, and let me point out Leon's mistakes in command so that the topic would not turn to those weak and dangerous provocations."
Hades' mouth twitched. If I don't stop you, then it will become a 1v1 Mortal Kombat between you and Lion Johnson offline, right
As for the Primarchs, except for a few with good upbringing or high talents, the rest are all hot-tempered guys who refuse to submit to anyone else and they just bicker with each other on a daily basis.
A classic joke is that all Primarchs think they can beat 80% of their brothers.
Hades swallowed silently. If it were an offline real-person fight, how many could Mortarion defeat
Ahem, no, I got off track. Although from the perspective of having fun, Hades still looks forward to watching a 1v1 fight between the Primarchs. It feels like a cricket fight.
"Mortarion, I personally suggest that you be cautious when coming into contact with other legions."
Mortarion waved his hand, "Got it."
He should regard those words of his "brothers" as the last comfort brought by ignorance, Mortarion thought with complexity and pity.
Just was in ruins, but the war continued.
Memanik was driven to a corner, and the sickle slowly slid across the alien's throat. This would be a rather long killing, and the Death Guard still had to guard against the opponent's desperate move.
With the help of the Mechanicus of Just, the Death Guard constructed and reactivated the planetary defenses closest to Mandeville Point in the system.
The defense space stations that were originally destroyed by the aliens were dragged out of the planetary belt. Even though they could no longer play their original role, they could still slow down the alien fleet.
The mining star No. 3, which is closest to Mandeville Point, has been re-deployed. Thanks to the careful preservation of the American Maniks, the defensive laser array here can still be used.
The Legion Master is still fighting fiercely in the battle with Memanik. Facing these enemies that can destroy an entire galaxy, the Death Guard must not underestimate them.
In fact, the Memanik fleet battles were far more difficult to deal with than their poor ground battles. The strange technology and formations of the aliens also caused Mortarion's boarding plans to fail repeatedly.
As a last resort, Mortarion had to be patient and break through the opponent's fleet formation bit by bit. During this period of time, the mortal crew members on the Endurance complained bitterly because they had to face Mortarion's personal questioning.
On the other side of the galaxy, there was a defense array deployed by the commander. The astropaths in the Death Guard were humming uneasily. Through their reactions, Hades knew that Randan's fleet was approaching.
Although when Hades approached them and asked about the situation, the Astropaths were visibly more uneasy.
Hades silently and slightly embarrassedly ignored this small detail.
Although the attitude of the Lion King Leon was quite bad, the intelligence from the Dark Angels was still accurate. Through the information of the First Legion, Hades roughly estimated the number of this alien fleet.
Well, the number is not small, but the good news is that their resources are not very sufficient. It seems that the battle in the previous galaxy consumed a lot of them.
So they are in desperate need of Ruse's resources, and the Death Guard will face them head-on, scythes raised.
According to the Dark Legion, the Randan aliens are tall but hunchbacked humanoids, and each individual can manipulate the minds of living things to varying degrees.
The higher the level within Randan, the stronger their mind control ability. A powerful Randan lord can even control a small army on his own.
During combat, these powerful alien races can also attack the enemy's mind at the same time. Only a strong will can resist Ran Dan's mental attack, and the loser will become Ran Dan's new slave.
According to the Dark Angels' personal experience, ordinary Space Marines will not be controlled by Randan, nor will mortals with strong wills, but if the Space Marine's emotions or physical state are unstable, he may be controlled.
The individual combat power is strong, and the fleet as a whole is lacking in ammunition. Randan's battle plan is already very clear. They will not try to fight a fleet battle with the Death Guards.
They will get as close to the Death Guard as possible, replacing the fighting between ships with the sound of swords and guns between warriors.
As the defending side, the best option is naturally to fight a fleet battle, using Just's production capacity to kite the opposing fleet to death.
But unfortunately, Hades currently has a limited number of ships at his disposal.
The reason is that in the galaxy, Mortarion is leading the Death Guard fleet to encircle the Memanik. Compared with the Randan, the Memanik are better at fleet warfare.
Therefore, the Death Guard had to allocate most of its fleet to encircle and suppress Memanik.
Although the Death Guard currently occupies most of the entire galaxy, if Ran Dan arrives, the Death Guard will be faced with a situation where they will be attacked from both sides. Neither of the two fronts can collapse.
The collapse of any one of them would bring catastrophic consequences for the Death Guard.
But Hades believed that Mortarion would not be defeated, just as Mortarion believed that Hades could stop Randan's fleet.
The dry wind blew by, and on Mining Star No. 3, the sensor array stared at the sky. They silently watched the starry sky and the imperceptible waves in the subspace.
Finally, a ripple flashed by the Juster Mandeville point.
Hades, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes and stared at the command board on the Death Scythe. Warnings flooded the screen.
Ran Dan, here we come.
