Endurance.
Now.
.
Hades was following Mortarion strolling in the long and narrow corridor. The two were walking slowly and leisurely, in no hurry to go to the next place.
Mortarion walked on in silence, giving Hades room to think.
Hades was still thinking about what Mortarion had just said.
Even though these veterans from Terra have now all sworn allegiance to Mortarion, Mortarion will never give his trust to them easily.
This is not Mortarion's paranoia. In fact, the veterans of each legion will have some friction with the newly arrived primarchs and recruits.
For example, the 13th Legion Ultramarines, Primarch Guilliman could not stand the overly violent methods of the Terran veterans. Another example is the 19th Legion Raven Guard, Corakos did not like the Terran veterans using the Astra Militarum as bait for war.
If the Primarch's personal charisma is strong enough or his political wisdom is high enough, the integration of the new and old legions will become easier.
The typical positive representative is the XIII Legion, the Ultramarines. Robert Guilliman constantly uses his wisdom to persuade the veterans to embark on a new path.
Or maybe it was the 9th Legion, where the holy Sanguinius saved the group of vampires that were about to fall.
But there are also not so positive representatives, such as the 14th Legion and the Death Guard.
Mortarion's style is simple. He uses his outstanding war mind and methods to make these veterans submit.
Then use wars with high casualties to drive out these veterans in order to achieve a blood transfusion in the legion.
Some stubborn veterans will cling to their past glory and volunteer to carry out some death missions.
Some chose to completely believe in their original masters and let go of their past glory.
.
In fact, if we change the angle and do not think from the perspective of the integration of the new and old legions, then Mortarion's method may not be a more efficient method.
In this way, he can insert as many of his own people into the legion as possible in a short period of time to expand his own power.
Some people may be confused here, because these Terran veterans have already declared their allegiance to Mortarion, so how can they talk about expanding their power
In fact, rather than being loyal to the Primarch himself, it would be more accurate to say that the veterans chose to be loyal to him because the Emperor asked them to be loyal to him.
Most of these Dusk Raider veterans from Terra had witnessed the majesty and splendor of the Emperor himself, and to them, the Primarch was nothing more than a gift from the Emperor.
With the Primarch, the entire legion will become more powerful, but even without the Primarch, this legion is still running continuously in its own mode.
What's more, Mortarion's return was relatively late compared to the entire Great Crusade. After Mortarion, only Angron, Corax, and Omega had not returned to the Empire.
This leads to the psychological independence of the Dusk Raiders.
The former Dusk Raiders are now more like the war dogs of the 12th Legion who are still envious of the magnificent return of Guilliman, the Primarch Sanguinius.
The Fourteenth Legion had long realized that a legion could do well without its Primarch.
Even within the original 14th Legion, the Dusk Raiders, there was such a thought—
So what if there is a Primarch? The Fourteenth Legion without a Primarch can also accomplish what the army led by the Primarch has accomplished.
The most extreme veterans may even think that the Primarch is nothing special, and watch jokingly to see if he can make the entire legion better.
Veterans always hold their heads high; they have the capital to be proud.
These veterans who have fought most of the wars alone walk silently in the universe. While other legions are cheering for the recovery of their primarch and preparing for a grand welcome ceremony, the Dusk Raiders fight silently in every corner of the galaxy.
When Sanguinius knelt before his offspring, when Guilliman of the Ultramar Empire restored glory to the Ultramarines, when Dorn returned with his huge and perfect pocket empire,
Some legions were envious and wished their own Primarchs were as noble as Sanguinius, as glorious as Guilliman, and as proud as Horus.
There is no Space Marine who does not long for the Father to whom they are genetically connected.
They hope that their Primarch is the best, they hope that their Primarch is the most unique, and they hope that they can be led to become the most glorious one.
But there are always exceptions.
For example, the former 14th Legion, the Dusk Raiders.
They have their own culture and their own history.
When the attack point of a planet silently rotated to the junction of light and shadow, the general offensive of the Fourteenth Legion had just begun.
They took advantage of the dusk and twilight to launch a large-scale ground attack on the enemy. The dim and charming light blurred the gray power armor of the Space Marines. The ancient and traditional Albia tactics still played their role in the universe.
They are the brave warriors from Terra, they are the solid right arm of the Emperor.
Thus, they earned themselves a unique title - the Dusk Raiders.
They have their own pride.
What is even more intriguing is that the proud, independent, silent and stubborn character of the Dusk Raiders, who do not rely on those in power, is, to some extent,
As expected, he is the descendant of Mortarion.
The Primarch's tall figure was still strolling in the corridor of the Endurance. Hades looked at Mortarion, wondering how he was getting along with these veterans.
As for Hades personally, he prefers to hope that the new and old legions can be better integrated.
First, Hades respects these veterans who have served throughout their lives. Second, a legion with a large number of veterans is often more powerful.
Third, if Mortarion insists on rebelling, these veterans from Terra will be the last loyalists of the Death Guard.
Sometimes, it becomes difficult to think about some things because you are always unwilling to face these problems.
Hades knew that although he had successfully overcome one of Mortarion's inner demons, when it came to fate, Hades was more inclined to take double insurance.
As for Typhon, Hades will find a way, and if he can be persuaded, he will try.
But if it really doesn't work.
—Then kill him.
But what Hades is worried about is that even if he kills a future betrayer, will there be a second betrayer, or a third betrayer
Even if there was no betrayer, would Mortarion still be designed by Nurgle to ascend to a demon
What's more, even if there was no Nurgle's plan, in the original plot, Mortarion would choose to betray because of Horus's persuasion.
For now, killing the alien lord Nak're is just the smallest detail in the huge destiny of Warhammer.
As a tiny member of the race, how much of a splash can Hades make
The future is too unpredictable and individual power is too small.
Based on the current information, Hades is unable to make his own conclusion on the next step.
Should we flee? Should we fight? Should we turn the tide? Or should we hide from fate
The mystery surrounding him was already full of doubts.
Hades needs to look more and think more.
He will find his own answer.
Happy reading
