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

Chapter 284 276. The Blue Man + Interlude Video Game

Hades decided to put the Ultramarines at the top of the list of "Legions Hades wants to work with."

Not only Robert Guilliman, most of the Ultramarines are full of "normal people". They can interact and communicate normally, and there are no inexplicable bottom lines and emotional explosion points.

And you can say what you need to say without being suddenly silenced. There is no need for Hades to ask step by step for fear of missing some key information.

And they will help you as much as they can.

For example, now, Hades has silently copied several daily report formats of the Ultramarines, and has also taken many books written by Guilliman.

It has to be said that Guilliman has written many books, and when negotiating with the Ultramarines, they will more or less quote the words from Guilliman's works.

This gave Hades a more intuitive impression of the blue descendants in the original work who liked to quote holy scriptures.

But this did not prevent him from continuing to copy data crazily in the Ultramarines' data room.

On the other side, Guilliman was looking at the information given by Hades. The bright and open library exuded the fragrance of books and knowledge.

【Breathtaking masterpiece. 】

Guilliman looked at Barbarus' three-dimensional map again and again and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Building a dead world into a semi-hub world that now handles nearby star field fleets is an idea that ordinary people cannot imagine, and it is also a feat that is difficult to achieve.

In fact, Guilliman has always had a slight regret in his heart. His brothers are all very good, but when it comes to building their home planet, they seem to uphold different ideas from Guilliman.

Few people even pay attention to the construction after the war. Horus is just to gain more prestige for himself, Dorn is paranoid about the construction itself, Perturabo has extreme tendencies, and others People don't even care.

But now, in a legion whose style was far different from that of the Ultramarines, Guilliman saw the sparkling possibility, a person with similar ideas to his——

[Hades, who among the Death Guards proposed the transformation of Barbarus’ plan and was ultimately responsible for its implementation? 】

Guilliman waited eagerly for the answer, but he seemed to have already sketched out the figure of the warrior in his mind.

"Ah," Hades raised his head and was scanning the bookshelf of the Ultramarines. He was thinking about which books to pick up. He replied casually, "It's me."

For a moment, Hades felt a chill on his back. He turned around suddenly and saw a huge blue man blocking behind him.

Hades was so frightened that he almost thrust his bolter into Guilliman's face.

He swore that Guilliman teleported over just now, without making a sound, just in an instant! It's like he appeared out of thin air!

Hades forced a smile and said tremblingly,

"Lord Guilliman?"

The blue man showed the brightest smile Hades had ever seen,

[Hades, Commander of the Death Guard, I think you can mark out the range of information you want to find, and the Ultramarines will help you find them. 】

[But now, I wish to ask you some questions, about Barbarus, and about you. 】

Hades was sweating silently in his heart, he was scared to death, he thought Guilliman was going to ask some shocking questions.

"Yes, of course."

——————————

".I think war is not the goal, development and the ultimate life of mankind are the goal. So since the legion has the strength and leisure, it can choose an area for development."

Guilliman smiled and nodded,

[Yes, everything now is for the ultimate peace. After the Great Crusade, the war legions can devote themselves to the construction of mankind, and high-quality space warriors can assume the responsibility of being the guide for human civilization. 】

Guilliman, who was immersed in the bright future, did not realize the special color that flashed in Hades's eyes after he said these words.

Hades smiled,

"With the cohesion and appeal of the Legion, we can achieve many miracles that are simply unattainable in the eyes of others. The Legion is a tool, and its function goes far beyond war."

[Forgive me for being curious, Hades, I think you will be someone who seriously considers the future. So in your thinking, where will the Death Guard Legion go after the Great Crusade? 】

Hades's Mask of Inner Pain, no, that would not be possible.

In the galaxy, there is only war.

"Perhaps you can ask our legion commander Lord Mortarion. It is not suitable for me to answer this question."

Hades laughed, and Guilliman also realized Hades' reluctance to answer. With a mutual understanding, the two quickly changed the topic.

They talked about how to deal with the mortal bureaucracy, and how the Legion's oppression made treating mortals an art unto itself.

They talked about how to negotiate peace, how to fool the empire's tax agencies, avoid taxes reasonably, and how to make the Legion's logistics line more hidden and reasonable.

They talked about how to deal with the Mechanicus, if you want to build and develop, you can never avoid the Mechanicus.

Hades marveled that the primarch's charismatic aura could also be used on the Grenadier, while Guilliman was surprised that Hades knew so much Mechanicus slang and slang.

[I remembered that my heir in the foundry department once mentioned you. 】

Guilliman suddenly said,

[Your signature is "H", right? Quite innovative and sharing spirit. 】

Hades waved his hand and said that the first group of people to go to Mars should come back.

"The study life on Mars is boring. This is just fun I find for myself. There is nothing to mention."

But Guilliman didn't think so. He looked at Hades thoughtfully, such an outstanding talent.

But he is the commander of the Death Guard. For people with this position, the Legion generally does not allow them to go out to study diplomacy.

So Guilliman began to bring the topic to Macragge.

He first asked tactfully about the scenery of Barbarus, and Hades described to him a picture of plain farmland, an empty and fertile land, with corn stalks rustling in the wind.

[This reminds me of the outskirts of Macragge. 】

Lush forests, towering ancient castles in the forests, noisy downtowns, blue skies, and white streets.

[If you want to understand and come into contact with real and complete administrative management, then you should go to Macragge, she will not let you down. 】

[Although Macragge lacks mineral resources.]

Guilliman began to subconsciously add Macragge's information, but Hades in front of him was so dazzling.

No, Hades thought, no!

Macragge is in the Extreme Star Territory, which is literally thousands of miles away from them now, and in the future, the Death Guard's march route will not shift there.

If he went to Macragge, it would be difficult to follow the Death Guard in a spaceship.

But that peaceful scene of time

Hades took a deep breath,

"Thanks for the invitation. If the war subsides, I will go to visit Macragge. Macragge is indeed a shining pearl in human civilization."

He finally refused, and Hades' heart bled.

Mixing in Macragge and becoming a foundry sergeant seems to be a good choice, very suitable for retirement, and only needs to worry about the Battle of Calth later.

Seeing Hades' refusal, Guilliman stopped mentioning it, but he already remembered the Death Guard in his heart, just like he remembered Dantioch of the Iron Warriors.

As long as he

Next, Guilliman and Hades had an in-depth exchange of views on the topic of star field construction. The two parties fully exchanged views and achieved major constructive breakthroughs in the conversation.

Until the end, Guilliman was still trying to get the Death Guard to stay with the Ultramarines for a while.

Without exception, they were all declined, although Guilliman also saw Hades' pain and confusion.

————————

Interlude [Video game, but with real people]

(Slightly strengthens Mortarion.)

As we all know, Guilliman has a game console that allows for virtual battles. Today, he invited Mortarion to come over and have a few moves.

Originally Mortarion would have scorned this kind of game and laughed loudly, but because Hades wanted to have fun, no, he wanted to watch the original body fight, so he reached an agreement with Guilliman.

"Mortarion, I lost the bet with Guilliman. I must go to Macragge to stay for a few years and learn from the Ultramarines."

In a heavy tone, Hades regretfully informed Mortarion of the good news, no, bad news.

I added a few words by the way and performed a simple fire ceremony.

What a joke, couldn't Hades see Guilliman's thoughts?

Of course, Mortarion went to beat Guilliman with his scythe.

Guilliman's request for this is to play three games with him and win two out of three games. If Mortarion wins, then he is willing to withdraw his bet with Hades.

So now, Mortarion is lying in the simulation warehouse wearing a giant fool's hat and looking like he wants to kill people.

[Guilliman vs. Mortarion, Commentator: Hades]

[Okay, the first scene has begun! We see that the two original bodies obviously want to fight in close combat first! Guilliman and Mortarion both gave up deploying their troops and rushed toward each other with their swords in hand! 】

[Guilliman is coming with force! The Sincere Dagger and the Hand of Control are outputting like crazy! And Mortarion is passively resisting. Will Mortarion be defeated in the first round——】

【No! As we all know, Mortarion is a defensive latecomer. The longer the battle lasts, the more obvious his advantages will be! After Mortarion deliberately extended the time, Guilliman was already starting to look a little tired! 】

Guilliman took a deep breath. Although Mortarion's eyes were full of anger, he was very restrained and never took the initiative to attack. The Lord of Death would only launch a counterattack after Guilliman made his move.

He was even deliberately exchanging injuries for injuries!

Guilliman's eyes flashed as he calculated Mortarion's every move.

【good! We can see that after the battle with Mortarion reaches a certain value, Robert Guilliman activates his passive skill "Observation". In this state, Guilliman will actively learn to analyze the enemy's information and target it. The enemy's style of play gives the answer. 】

【Not good! Guilliman seemed to have seen through Mortarion's tactics. Guilliman's offensive became more and more fierce. Guilliman also began to exchange injuries for injuries. He wanted a quick victory! 】

[Is Mortarion going to fail in the first battle? Then in the subsequent confrontation between the commanding legions, can the Lord of Death defeat Guilliman, who is known for his "command"? 】

[Looking at the health bars of both sides, Guilliman still has a quarter of his health left, while Mortarion - Mortarion only has a little blood left! 】

【Guilliman also realized it! He ignored Mortarion's scythe annihilation and swung the decisive sword directly at Mortarion——】

【ohhhhhh! Mortarion, Mortarion revealed a second blood bar! 】

【Guilliman made a puzzled sound, but Mortarion did not give him time to react! Mortarion triggered his passive "residual blood". In the residual blood state, every time Mortarion lost a little blood, his defense value, attack value, and critical strike rate would increase a little! 】

Under the mask, Mortarion sneered. Guilliman did not dodge his scythe just now. The Lord of Death successfully tore open Guilliman's defense with the scythe, and then he held Guilliman and poured some of his homemade poison into his mouth.

【Guilliman fell into a poisoned state! Guilliman was at low blood! Guilliman's last bit of blood disappeared! The winner of the first game, Mortarion!!! 】

Motarion laughed with satisfaction, and helped Guilliman up from the ground.

Guilliman showed a puzzled expression, but he seemed to understand Mortarion's characteristics. Guilliman signaled to start the second one.

[The second game begins! After the first round, Guilliman chose to call the Ultramarines! He wanted to compete with Mortarion in command and dispatch. 】

[Guilliman triggered the passive "Master of Marching and Dispatching". Compared with other legions, when Guilliman is present, the Ultramarines' combat power +15%, unity +100%, recovery +15%, and number +20%! 】

[This is such a buggy skill! 】

[On the other hand, Mortarion's Death Guard is slightly inferior. 】

After a while, Mortarion's position was surrounded by the Ultramarines. At the same time, Guilliman, who triggered the passive [Observation], commanded the Ultramarines to tear open the Death Guard's defense little by little.

Worthy of being Guilliman!

Mortarion was no pushover either. Under the Death Guard's perseverance, the Ultramarines were also being rapidly consumed.

Finally, Guilliman stood in front of Mortarion again. This time, the two Primarchs were surrounded by countless Space Marine corpses.

Guilliman was half-health, and Mortarion had lost six half-health bars, revealing the last half of his health.

Based on analysis, Guilliman concluded that the shaky Mortarion could not reveal a single drop of blood.

[Guilliman swung the Akagi sword again and rushed forward! And Mortarion also fought back with his heavy sickle! ]

[After studying and analyzing Mortarion's personal behavior, Guilliman's battle became much smoother this time! He gave up the big move and chose speed and thrust instead! ]

[Due to the length and effective attack range of the two sides' weapons, Guilliman kept close to Mortarion. Mortarion had to fight with him with his sickle, while trying to keep the distance between the two sides as much as possible. ]

[But Guilliman did not give him this opportunity! He is attacking frantically! Mortarion's health bar is in danger——】

[ohhhhhh! Mortarion triggers the passive "blood lock"! You can never reach the reality of the last seven drops of blood! Except for fatal injuries such as decapitation and heart-ripping, the rest of the damage will not cause real damage to the Lord of Death! 】

Guilliman looked at Mortarion in disbelief. Mortarion was already quite broken. He was like a scarecrow in the wind, as if he would fall apart in the next moment.

This gave Guilliman an illusion that even if he did not attack, Mortarion would fall apart directly under the action of gravity——

But, but what does it mean that non-fatal injuries do not cause damage!

[Guilliman began to try to change his strategy, but obviously, Mortarion would not give Guilliman time to find a countermeasure! Taking advantage of Guilliman's fatigue from a long battle, the Lord of Death began to attack actively! 】

[In the second round, Mortarion won! 】

Guilliman suddenly sat up from the virtual warehouse. He turned his head and looked at Mortarion in horror with an indescribable expression.

Mortarion stood up slowly, and immediately took off the silly hat.

"You failed, my brother."

Mortarion said calmly, and then he stood up without any nostalgia, and left the Glory of Macragge with his commander.

Great! 7.5k words today!

To be updated 3/14

The last interlude slightly strengthened Mortarion. According to common sense, Guilliman would win the third game, and even the countless games afterwards.
