Chapter 199 191. Horus was confused

Horus looked silently at the spot where Mortarion had just sat. Mortarion's tall and thin figure seemed to still be there, studying the chessboard.

What step went wrong?

Horus boasted that he knew the personalities of his brothers. Even as stubborn as Dorn, he recognized Horus's outstanding talent in interpersonal communication, but why, why didn't it work this time?

Horus reviewed every step he had taken and realized that Mortarion had anomalies arising from "mistakes of the past."

Then there is the sudden departure, avoidance and concealment.

Before that, everything was under the control of Horus, the rhythm was controlled by him, and Mortarion gradually released goodwill under his guidance.

So what happened?

Horus knew that the planet where Mortarion had landed was a place with an extremely harsh environment. Could it be that his brother had made mistakes there that he could not face directly?

Perhaps he led a failed battle, or perhaps he once caused the death of a friend through negligence? In this regard, Horus could only make simple speculations.

Perhaps he had been too hasty, Horus thought, and perhaps a slower and gentler approach was needed to deal with Mortarion.

Then change the countermeasures against Mortarion next time. Mortarion's already somewhat rude behavior just now did not anger Horus, but made Horus even more eager to bring his brother back to "normal" Orbital, of course he is willing and obliged to help his brothers.

This is the good intention of Horus, and it is also the vanity of Horus. True feelings and selfishness are mixed, and what remains unchanged is action.

After thinking about it, Horus asked Ezekiel and Sejanus to come into the room, and at the same time asked the servitor to clear away the unpleasant poisonous gas that echoed in the reception room. It seemed that the chairs and tables contaminated by the poisonous gas were all gone. It needs to be replaced with new ones, Horus thought with some displeasure. After all, this is furniture that he personally selected.

By the way, why would his brother add poison gas to his breathing mask? Horus felt himself becoming even more curious about Mortarion.

Abaddon and Sejanus walked in, and Horus casually asked them about the Death Guard information they had gathered from Hades.

Contrary to Mortarion, through the mouths of the two moon wolves, the Death Guard was actually very talkative. Horus couldn't help but think that it would be great if Mortarion was like this. This would at least make their previous communication smoother. Some.

The deck of the Endurance.

Horus stood on the gray deck of the Death Guard, looking at his brother with some embarrassment.

Mortarion was standing not far from Horus. On the deck, there were countless Death Guards lined up to welcome him. However, Horus' intuition told him that in the hidden part of the Death Guard deck, Mortarion also deployed Some other presence.

"My brother, what are you doing?"

The reconnaissance team from the Druun had brought the latest intelligence, but Horus insisted on discussing tactics with his brother face to face. Naturally, Mortarion repeatedly refused this proposal, but after all, he could not defeat Horus. Tarien had no choice but to agree to this request.

But the premise is that it must be on the Endurance. Mortarion does not want to go to the Blade of Vengeance. Even if Hades repeatedly assured him that there is no problem with the current Moon Wolf, Mortarion still does not relax his bottom line.

At least not now. Mortarion is still unable to chat and laugh with others on a ship that may fall at any time and is beyond his control.

So Horus suddenly stood on the deck of the Death Guard, sandwiched among a group of Death Guards who seemed to be welcoming but actually on guard. Mortarion did not invite him into the Death Guard's strategy room, and the two of them just Looking at each other from a distance.

It was very windy on deck.

Horus suddenly realized that his brother's character problems were more difficult than he had imagined.

Normally in this situation, even the kindest Wolf God would be furious and feel offended by Mortarion, but Horus knew that before he asked that question, Mortarion had treated him badly. The attitude has been quite friendly.

In a sense, it was a mistake in Horus' speech strategy that caused Mortarion to treat him this way, so Horus endured it.

Then Horus saw Mortarion slowly walking over.

"Sorry, my brother, I was really anxious last time."

Mortarion said reluctantly, but he still said it. From now on, he would make the necessary compromises.

Mortarion doesn't like this, he doesn't like the feeling of being deceived, and he usually chooses to refuse communication directly.

The exhortations from Hades in the private channel finally stopped.

But Horus didn't know this. Mortarion's apology was a good start for the Wolf Shepherd. Horus smiled heartily and stepped forward to give him a welcoming hug.

"No."

Mortarion took a step back, and at the same time moved his right hand slightly towards the lamp on his waist, but the original body stopped this subconscious behavior in time,

"No, I know your good intentions, brother, I know."

Horus awkwardly stretched his hands out in a helpless gesture. Mortarion seemed to realize that his rejection just now was not appropriate, so Mortarion stretched out his left hand.

"Welcome to the Endurance."

Horus smiled knowingly and extended his hand to shake Mortarion's hand. Just like the primarch's appearance, Mortarion's hands were cold and intrusive.

Compared to Horus, who thought it was a casual welcome gift, Mortarion was very serious.

"Welcome my brother."

Mortarion looked at Horus. The Wolf God was still "good" and could be trusted.

But only now, and Mortarion could not let the present overdraw the future.

[The defenses leading to the strategy room have been arranged. 】

Hades's voice rang in the communication channel. Mortarion took a few silent breaths and decided to take Horus to his mothership.
