The ripples of the farce were still rippling, but perhaps because the scene was too awkward, the several primarchs who left the table tacitly chose to remain silent.
The Battle of Randan finally came to an end, a legion was permanently wiped out, the Dark Angels suffered heavy losses, and half-stepped out of the arena for competing for the title of [Warmaster].
Soon after, both the Ultramarines and the Imperial Fists underwent massive expansions, with Guilliman's legion even reaching a terrifying 250,000 men.
The Thousand Sons received the warning from Malcador, but before that, the Space Wolves' noses for filth had already smelled the unusual scent on the Thousand Sons.
The Space Wolves looked at Malcador with suspicion at the warning. The Scarlet King, who was insulted by the Lord of Death at the banquet, chose to remain silent, avoiding the Space Wolves as much as possible and continuing his expedition.
The Blood Angels also received a letter from Malcador. Beneath Malcador's trivial and vague words, this old man, who was not liked by the Primarch, comforted the angels.
As the Lion's team suffered heavy casualties, the contenders for the title of "Warmaster" finally fell on Horus Lupercal and Finus Manus. The two Primarchs did not make any comments on this and continued to lead the legion step by step.
Of course, after the banquet, the Death Guard disappeared from the sight of most legions. Just like the Death Guard's primarch Mortarion, this gray legion was deeply rooted in the galaxy, avoiding cooperation with other legions as much as possible.
Although sometimes the marching routes of the Legion and the Death Guard overlap and cooperate with each other.
The content of the banquet eventually spread in a small circle among the Primarch's circle, although it had already been deleted and modified a lot.
Except for Horus, the Primarchs who had come into contact with Mortarion did not think highly of the Lord of Death.
He is a strange man, with unstable moods and a fondness for sarcasm, but he is not a king of fallacies.
Tacitly, or perhaps because they remembered that he was indeed boring, and Mortarion did not find any friends among the Primarchs, the topic of the Fourteenth Legion was rarely mentioned.
The addition of new brothers also attracted more attention from the primarchs.
Perhaps it was because the Death Guard had achieved really good results in their KPIs that the Empire granted them some more time to rest and recuperate.
After all, the Death Guard intercepted and annihilated two alien species in Just, successfully defending the world beyond the Just galaxy.
Of course, Hades believes that the "petition" he wrote also played a role.
Since Malcador's fall from grace, Hades tearfully describes the poverty-stricken, destitute, and destitute current state of the Death Guard.
Of course, Hades also wrote some other things by the way, such as some small stories about the various primarchs and legions that he knew.
If the Emperor won't care, leave it all to Malcador!
Hades would never admit that this was an attempt to set a trap for Malcador.
In order to prevent it from being altered or erased, the letter sailed aboard the Empire's largest black ship, along with Jin and Hades's two Wandering Soul Knights.
His knight, Hades, was almost heartbroken.
Jinn returns to Terra. Knowing much about the Black Stone, he will serve the Soulless of Terra and Malcador.
Malcador agreed to allow Jinn access to Terra's technology. After all, the Emperor had stored great treasures such as the Psionic Titans on Terra.
Compared to the Knight, the difficulty of making the Titan is completely different. It is the top jewel in the crown of human industry and technology.
Hades reluctantly realized that Malcador was just tying another carrot to his head and telling him to pull the millstone.
Although working does not conflict with becoming stronger.
On Mortarion's side, the Primarch was still puzzled by what the Custodes said, and Hades directly gave Mortarion the letter from Malcador.
Mortarion read the letter with a frown on his brow the entire time, and finally he realized that not actually killing Malcador on Terra was a wrong and failed decision.
Mortarion and Hades scolded Malcador for half the night, and finally reached a consensus on the attitude towards Malcador.
Ahem, I won't do sneak attacks or anything like that.
Although Hades knew that the final outcome would be Mortarion being beaten by Malcador.
But, but what if Mortarion wins
Come on, Mortarion, Hades will provide anything but help.
Apart from this incident of denouncing Malcador, the Death Guard is currently relatively idle. It seems that their notoriety has spread and other legions are not too bothered by the Death Guard. In the nearby star field where the banquet took place, the connection between the Death Guard and mortals has also become much smoother and simpler.
The Ruse system was still recovering, but the docks of the Forge World were already filled with various spaceships - some were obtained by the Death Guard after they wiped out the two alien species, and some were unilaterally allocated to the Death Guard by the Empire.
Hades could guess to whom these ships originally belonged.
The Ultramarines and Imperial Fists absorbed the warriors of the Lost Legion, while the Death Guard absorbed the ships of the Lost Legion.
Although these ships had been unilaterally looted by the Empire, only the most basic empty shells were left, without even the supporting crew members.
But as long as it exists, it is good.
If these ships, which currently have little combat power, are taken into account, the Death Guard's fleet would suddenly expand by one third.
Hades figured that he could just dismantle a few ships and build one for himself - otherwise it would be too late by the time Juster truly restored production capacity and started producing ships.
The Death Guard fleet is drifting in orbit around Just Prime, and the legion commander has been wandering around the ships, selecting the vessels of his choice.
The remaining Hellhounds and Death Guards continued to help the sages of Just to resume production. This time, Hades specifically asked the gravekeepers to pay attention to the speeches in the legion and prohibit the emergence of religious rumors or the formation of thoughts that would mock religion.
Imperial Truth, boy!
Although it is wrong, it at least fits this version.
And what is the legion commander doing? It seems that because Galasper was included in the Death Guard recruitment planet, Mortarion, who was a fundamentalist about the recruitment planet in the original book, seemed to have let go of this obsession.
Perhaps it was also because Mortarion realized that production and development were what the Legion urgently needed now.
Soldiers, artillery fire, swords, the more the better.
Mortarion is negotiating with the Forge World of Ruse, which the Lord of Death hopes to include as a recruitment world for the Death Guard.
When it comes to recruiting men for the Legion, Mortarion always does it himself.
When Mortarion led his fleet to encircle Memanik, the people on Mining Planet No. 7 in the Just System impressed the Lord of Death deeply.
Due to the complex terrain of Mining Planet No. 7, the Mechanicus of Just has not yet formed a large-scale automated mining model here, and simple manual mining is still maintained here.
Perhaps it is because these oil guys calculated for a long time and felt that manual labor is still cheaper and more efficient.
The people here make a living by mining ore and exchanging supplies from the sages. They live all year round in the intricate mines beneath the surface of the planet.
When the alien ships arrived, people held pickaxes and used complex tunnels to fight the aliens. In the face of extreme shortages of supplies, they showed amazing tenacity and fighting spirit.
The Lord of Death was very satisfied with this.
Yes, code.
