Endurance, duel cage.
Now.
.
On the stage where the lights were fixed on him, Carastiphon turned around and put down his sickle. With an expression of humility and a hint of pride, he smiled at the crowd of Barbarus below the stage.
There was an immediate burst of cheers and applause from the audience, and some people even whistled.
There was a cacophony of noise, but surprisingly, Primarch Mortarion did not stop it.
Just now, only two people in the audience saw clearly what Carastiphon did.
One is Mortarion -
Mortarion remained seated, the Primarch's tall figure as still as a corpse.
Is this what you wanted me to see, Typhon
Mortarion looked from beneath his hood at the cheering crowd of Barbarus. When had his descendants, his people, ever celebrated like this since they left their homeland
Is this what you wanted to say
You win by using psychic power, and then - "taking advantage of" this emotion, you want me to relax the restrictions on psychic power and let you use psychic power
Are you still so persistent, Karas
Or am I doing something wrong
Mortarion was silent.
Calastiphon on the stage glanced at Mortarion imperceptibly.
Of course he knew what Mortarion was thinking.
Before, Karastiphon had tried to probe Mortarion's attitude towards the think tank indirectly.
It is clear that Mortarion completely denies the existence of the Think Tank based on his knowledge of sorcery on Barbarus.
But Carastiphon knew that witchcraft - no, it should be psionics, is a tool in itself, without distinction between good and evil.
The Death Guard's previous think tank is the best proof of this.
Calastyphon knew he needed a chance to prove to Mortarion that psionics could bring him glory.
And Mortarion is far less committed to the standards than he thinks he is.
Karas chuckled. In their previous interactions, Mortarion was actually a person who was easily influenced by the crowd.
He cared about his descendants and his people, far more than he imagined.
Moreover, Kalas knew that Mortarion trusted him and Hades.
As long as Hades doesn't come out to oppose psychic power
After this victory, Typhon will gain the support of the Barbarus people, and Mortarion will not lose face and reprimand Typhon for using psychic powers.
Then Typhon only needs to take the opportunity to make his request
Mortarion would hesitate.
As long as Mortarion could be a little more lenient in the use of psychic power, Karas's expectations would have been met.
He had indeed prepared a lot for this day.
However, offstage, the second person who saw Carastiphon's little trick came out from the crowd -
[I want to duel with you!]
The current think tank of the Death Guard, Ugo, shouted to Calastiphon on the stage.
Hearing the familiar voice, Carastiphon's body suddenly froze. Why is Ugo here? !
And Typhon just didn't notice him at all!
Generally speaking, the Death Guard's think tanks would go to the archives to read during their free rest time, or meditate to regulate their connection with the warp, and places like the noisy duel cage were not places the think tanks would go to at all.
In the agreement between him and Ugo, Ugo knew that their meeting and training was not glorious, so he hoped that Calastiphon would communicate with Mortarion in private, as long as the think tank would not be cut off from the source of troops in the future.
But it was clear that Carastiphon had not kept his promise.
Karas originally wanted to act first and report later. After this incident, he could make up for his breach of contract by asking Mortarion to relax the think tank issue.
If Mortarion is willing to relax the restrictions on the think tank, then Calastyphon will take the credit for this matter and openly apply to join the think tank.
If Mortarion does not agree to relax the requirements, then Calastiphon will take the opportunity to sever ties with the think tank, sell the think tank, and focus on building his reputation among the Barbarus people.
As long as he could defeat an old soldier with his psychic powers and not be discovered by anyone other than Mortarion, then no matter how the situation developed, he, Calastyphon, would not lose.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ugo stood out from the crowd with rage in his eyes!
The think tank walked slowly from the stage to the stage. With every step he took, frost appeared on the ground, and the crackling sound of the ice was particularly harsh.
Is this what you were planning, Typhon
Use the moves I taught you to defeat the veterans and gain fame among the Barbarus people
And he deliberately revealed that he knew psychic skills
Ugo knew that the Terra veteran who had just fought against Karas could definitely feel that Karas's psychic moves did not seem to be from a wild source, but more like the moves that think tanks usually use.
If Karas's behavior at this moment were to be spread by the Terra veterans, the think tank, which was not valued by the Primarch in the first place, would lose the support of the Terran people!
Only then did Hugo realize that his previous efforts to maintain the think tank were all a joke!
My own teacher does not understand my behavior, and even the students I am trying to teach are rebellious.
Why should he swallow his anger? He was destined to be marginalized anyway, so he might as well display his psychic powers in front of the Primarch on this duel arena!
Let the Primarch see that their think tanks are the most powerful group in the legion, and the Primarch actually wants to abolish them!
Ugo slowly stepped onto the stage. The feeling of betrayal by Calastiphon made his warp fluctuations very obvious, and his eyes began to glow faintly.
Ugo casually pulled out a one-handed longsword from the weapon rack and simply swung it. Faint spiritual energy fluctuated on the sword, and the scene reflected on the metal sword was also distorted.
He stood on the stage, his face calm but his eyes blazing with anger.
There was a bit of a commotion among the Terran veterans. On normal days, they seldom came into contact with think tanks, let alone a think tank appearing on the duel stage!
Because of the blessing of psychic power, the individual combat power of a Think Librarian is far greater than that of an ordinary Space Marine, which means that when a Think Librarian stands on the duel stage, the only one who can compete with him is another Think Librarian.
On the other side, the Barbarus people were unaware of the truth and continued to cheer and wait for the duel between Carastiphon and Ugo.
Carastiphon swallowed.
grass.
Seeing that things had come to this, he had no choice but to turn around and pick up the sickle again.
Taking the opportunity to pick up the sickle, Karas glanced at Mortarion out of the corner of his eye, hoping that Mortarion would stop this duel that was obviously beyond the scope.
But the Primarch remained motionless as if dead.
However, beneath the appearance of stillness, Mortarion, who was originally still thinking, suddenly became interested.
He looked at the think tank Ugo, who was obviously angry with Carastiphon.
Karas, what are you hiding from me
ps. Mortarion had previously seen that Typhon used psychic powers, but he did not know that it was the school of the Think Tank. He had already "exiled" the Think Tank, so he no longer cared about some of the details of the Think Tank.
Happy reading (≧▽≦)
