The beautiful glow of the Extermination Order was reflected in Mortarion's calm pupils, and behind him, flames were burning.
A green planet disappeared, along with the generations of Eldar living on it, along with the savages who couldn't even speak clearly, and along with those strange buildings -
Mortarion sincerely hoped that all of this would disappear under the flames of the torpedo and not leave any trace in this world.
He listened calmly to Vulkan's disordered breathing, and to Finus's heavy breathing as he pretended to be calm. The Lord of Fire Dragons was because of his damn kindness, and the Lord of Medusa glanced at Mortarion from time to time.
Mortarion did not move, and it was hard to tell whether Fenus's behavior had caused any emotion in the Lord of Death's heart.
In front of his competitive brother, Lord Medusa obviously lost his composure, but his embarrassment made Mortarion feel familiar... Did he... perform better than Finus at that time
But no matter what, he has walked through that unbearable journey, accepted an even bleaker future, and clenched the uncompromising sickle in his hand.
What about Finus? Even he didn't see that far.
Mortarion never cared about his brothers who had some problems with their brains. All he had to do was prepare gifts for their funerals. But this time, the similar yet different situation aroused the Lord of Death's abnormal interest.
He didn't mind talking a little more.
Although Mortarion had his own different views on Fenu's previous tactical plan.
—————
The three Primarchs stood quietly in front of the observation window. The entire planet looked like a gurgling magma ball, with bright orange-red bubbles bursting on it. The diameter of the bubbles was an entire forest.
Mortarion thought idly that perhaps the humans and Eldar above were like ants clinging to the surface of the bubble, spinning and screaming—
But this is unrealistic. Their internal organs will be shattered the moment the missile falls, and then the atmosphere of the entire planet will burn violently, the air pressure will drop sharply, and the entire body will swell up in a short period of time, with blood and organ fragments gushing out of the opening.
The more fortunate creatures that are closer to the missile impact point will be torn into pieces by the air wave, while those that are far away will be turned into a dry black stick in the subsequent high temperature. If you look closely, you might be able to make out the big mouth at the end of the stick, the stupid expression of pain and confusion as if they didn't know what was going on. Their eye sockets are empty because the lenses with high water content have been directly evaporated.
Then these small black sticks will sink into the bright red hot and spicy soup like black peppercorns dropped into a soup pot, and completely blend into the planet extinction soup. They are just insignificant ingredients, and the main ingredient is still large chunks of the planet's crust.
It was cruel, but Mortarion, who had agreed to the extermination order, could only think of the images of the little men and the little Eldar spinning and screaming on the bubbles.
Perhaps Vulcan would have thought of more, the couple hugging each other tightly at the last moment, the mother hugging her child, the helpless tears in the old man's eyes - this is why he never uses the extermination order, he has such a good imagination.
Vulkan took a step back as he choked out his breath.
[These... unarmed people were killed by us. We need to remember this atrocity. The fact that it had to happen does not make it any less painful.]
Mortarion muttered,
[This is not a reason for you to act on your emotions, Vulkan.]
Vulkan stared at Mortarion, and it was strange that flames and tears appeared in his eyes at the same time.
[You are wrong, Mortarion. Mercy is the greatest reason for our march. If the reason for the war is not humanity, then this will be the greatest mistake.]
Mortarion paused.
[The time you hesitated was enough for you to save another planet. The soldiers who died because of your kindness were enough to save countless lives. Even if you want to save them, you hope to save as many as possible, Vulkan.]
Vulkan choked.
[That is true, my brother, but…]
His voice became quieter.
[I can't give up. Every life has the right to be saved and survive.]
Mortarion frowned. Fenus looked at them. Vulkan was led back to the Empire by Fenus and the Emperor. Only Fenus knew Vulkan's madness.
The Lord of Fire Dragons once rushed into the enemy's heavy firepower without regard for his own safety, just to save an enemy baby - and at that moment, if there was no miracle, Vulkan would almost certainly die.
There was no point in continuing to argue like this, and Finus was more eager to have another talk with Mortarion than to listen to the debate between Mortarion and Vulkan - he obviously knew more.
Then Phineus interrupted,
[Vulkan - The Legion must first complete the tasks assigned to us by the Empire. On this basis, you can ask your Legion to act according to your preferences, but you must complete the Empire's tasks. ]
[This is just a reminder for you, Vulkan.]
Due to Fenus' interruption, Mortarion stopped talking. He just stood there, looking at Vulkan in silence.
Vulkan shook his head slightly.
[Thank you for your kindness, I am still not used to this, my brothers. When there is no more war in the galaxy, I will return to Nocturne and be my blacksmith again.]
Unexpectedly, Mortarion sneered, and the Lord of Death stretched out his voice.
[Not a bad idea. If there is no more war in the galaxy, I will go back to Barbarus and be a farmer—but I think I will never have anything to do with the compost pond in Barbarus again in my life.]
Mortarion chuckled, as if he was laughing at Vulkan's naivety, or maybe he really thought he had told a very funny joke.
However, Vulkan took Mortarion's words seriously. The Fire Dragon Lord spoke carefully.
[… Perhaps you can ask the Mechanicus for help? Although I don’t like their soulless and heartless forging industry, they do have extraordinary technology, and planetary agriculture is not difficult for them. ]
Finus was slightly speechless as he heard Mortarion's laughter grow louder.
[I will, brother.]
Mortarion's voice was slightly raised.
[Perhaps I can talk to Fainus about this now, and discuss how we should live in a future of peace without war—I don’t like the Mechanicus very much.]
Hearing Mortarion's words, Vulkan, who had just been saddened by the extermination order and his brother's rebuke, forced a smile.
[May the future be peaceful.]
He said.
