Warhammer: I don’t want to be a can of worms! ! !

Chapter 277 269. Who is the villain?

Gage looked from the hall, behind a curved arch corridor, the Queen was talking to a Death Guard.

If you look at it from the perspective of the Ultramarines Captain Gage, then this is just a picture of the Death Guard trying to communicate friendly with the Queen.

Something didn't look right about the Queen though, she looked scared, so scared that Gage thought she was going to scream any second.

Gage was confused, because even when the Ultramarines fleet pressed on Abstu, the queen maintained her rare calmness and rationality.

Even when faced with their father, Lord Guilliman, the woman was only slightly surprised.

But now—why was she so scared?

Gage raised his eyes and looked at Hades with a scrutinizing gaze again. He needed to make sure that the Death Guard was not trying to destroy the hard-won peace between the two parties.

Hades was smiling, smiling kindly, and talking to the queen in a very approachable tone.

Gage fell into deep confusion, but seeing that the two were still talking, he did not want to disturb him, so he waited with Lord Mortarion of the Death Guard. Lord Mortarion seemed to be interested in the relationship between Hades and the Queen. The conversation was of no interest; the primarch was simply looking around the hall with boredom.

From the conversation between Hades and the Queen, some small sentences floated into Gage's ears.

Queen Circe took a deep breath. She held her scepter and tried hard not to fall down.

Even though her body was shaking uncontrollably, the sweat in her hands was sticky and smeared on the scepter.

It was embarrassing, but she knew she had shown superhuman courage.

After looking directly at the unspeakable monster, she still firmly maintained her courage, reason, and necessary courtesy.

Her god did not give up on her. Even in the dark night, the god still pointed out the morning star of wisdom to her.

He marked her with words, swords that could sting monsters.

The Queen bit her lower lip without leaving any trace. She forced herself to look directly into the human eyes simulated by the indescribable thing, and prepared to speak——

Seeing that she was about to speak, the being smiled at her, showing his white teeth. She was so frightened that she trembled again and almost knelt on the ground.

"There will be no war. The changes in civilization will only be subtle undercurrents. You cannot directly interfere here."

"There will be no war."

She trembled and said this sentence as firmly as possible. The monster opposite her became noisier, and the buzzing sound kept ringing, as if the two-dimensional black thread was twisting randomly.

No, she can no longer be immersed in spiritual vision, she will go crazy, she will go crazy! The Queen returned her attention to her eyes, raised her head, and tried to tell the other side that their violent actions were doomed to be in vain.

Then she saw the murderous eyes on the other side, looking at her playfully - those eyes were inhuman!

The Queen lowered her head in an instant, hiding herself as much as possible under her hood.

"Yes, both sides want to negotiate peace. This is inevitable."

The sound became distorted in her mind, like the sound coming from a coffin buried deep underground.

"But I am worried that you and your civilization do not truly surrender to the empire."

She opened her mouth, her vision began to blur, and a familiar and warm light feather brushed her lips,

She suddenly shouted, her voice echoed throughout the hall, and she looked directly across the way angrily,

"You can question our loyalty! But we have done everything! We withdrew our troops and changed our beliefs! What else do you want from us? Invaders!"

"Destroy this civilization?! We have already negotiated! Why are you still questioning us!"

Hades raised his eyebrows, and his fake smile became weaker and weaker. He stared at the Queen's performance in silence,

Gage suddenly rushed over and pulled the excited queen away. He asked the queen to calm down, but he also protected the old woman behind him.

It was also to prevent Hades from being angered by the queen and making unwise moves.

"Calm down, Ms. Circe, my cousin means no harm. He is just taking necessary precautions."

Gage smiled apologetically at Hades,

"She was just a little agitated, which is normal."

Hades stretched out a hand, motioning for Gage to continue comforting the queen.

The Queen began to cry. She sobbed softly and began to ramble on about their efforts and how the Death Guard's disrespectful actions had frightened her people.

Gage scrambled to comfort the queen who suddenly started crying, but the queen was still cursing.

"Is this how the empire is?! We originally thought that your legions were all reasonable people. Now that the peace ceremony is less than a week away, why are you treating Abstu like this?"

Gage's vision suddenly went dark.

A short scream exploded in the hall, and the queen collapsed directly to the ground. Her eyes were blank, she covered her mouth, and leaned against Gage's leg, as if Gage was using it as a pillar, and then hid under his behind.

She pointed at Hades tremblingly, her previous chattering look gone.

Gage turned his head.

Hades smiled apologetically at Gage. The Death Guard still maintained good etiquette.

"Sorry, I may have shocked the Queen just now. I'm still not very good at diplomatic relations."

Hades smiled and also showed a smile to the queen. This time Ms. Circe did not refute or curse.

Gage breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two sides didn't get too unhappy. In the end, both sides gave in, at least not to the point of tit-for-tat.

It was the hallucination that had just gone dark. Gage blinked in confusion. He must have been the only one to feel this feeling. The queen also screamed and fell to the ground after that.

"He's a monster."

As if aware of Gage's doubts, the Queen said quietly and tremblingly behind him,

But apparently Gage wasn't the only one who heard this.

Hades smiled brightly and stared straight at the queen,

"I am a soulless person. This will indeed bring some confusion to wizards. If the Queen feels uncomfortable because of my constitution, then I apologize."

"No, my cousin, you don't have to be so humble."

Gage quickly comforted Hades. Although peace talks were important, the relationship between the legions was also something worthy of attention.

Gage blinked, and he felt as if Hades' whole body flickered, suddenly turned black, and then returned to its original appearance.

But when I looked carefully, nothing happened.

Although the queen behind him leaned closer and closer to him, making Gage think of the people hiding in the shelter.

Circe gasped, no, no, no, no, the previous warm feeling disappeared, it was even worse than that.

Just for a moment, she felt that the earth disappeared and she was falling straight into the abyss.

She. She disturbed the nameless thing, and it was taking revenge on her.

The weightlessness in her soul continued, and the words spoken by the monster had turned into harsh winds. She was dazzled, dizzy, and ran stumblingly through the dark night of her soul.

She clung to the feet of the man in the blue helmet, and that was her last straw.

Gage's voice was still ringing. They seemed to be going back. The monster also began to close in on himself. Circe felt that her five senses were gradually recovering.

She caught a whiff of a choking stench.

She opened her eyes hazily and saw a faint trace of poisonous gas, like saliva flowing from the mouth of a beast, hanging to the tip of her nose.

She looked up along the trace of poisonous gas——

I saw a pair of bloodshot, wide-open eyes.

The God of Death was looking down at her. In the shadow of the hood, his eyes were emitting a strange light that wanted her to die——

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh-!"

The shrill scream tore through the hall once again.

Gage, who was talking to Hades, turned around suddenly and found Lord Mortarion running behind him at some point, looking like he wanted to stab the unconscious queen with a sickle pole.

Gage was convinced that for a moment he didn't know where he was or what he was supposed to do.

".grown ups?"

Mortarion blinked and spoke in a calm tone,

"I was wondering if the lady needed help, but it looked like I had scared her."

"No need to say more, we have completed the inspection. Thank you for your guidance, Gage. Guilliman has a good warrior."

The Lord of Death dropped a few words casually, and then strode away from Gage.

The Death Guards also left with him.

Gage blinked and decided to take the Queen to the infirmary first. This poor lady, the silent style of the Death Guard and their armor with faint blood stains were indeed scary.

Great!
