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

Chapter 287 278. Night is approaching

The galaxy is too big, and the Empire is too big, so its legions have to run exhausted in the waves of warp just to get to another battlefield.

When the Death Guard fleet finally sailed into the physical world from countless subspace jumps, Hades finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw other fleets from the porthole from a distance.

Finally arriving at the destination, Hades felt that he was about to be tortured to death by the bumps of the subspace voyage. He seemed to see hallucinations of creatures in the subspace retching at him all the time.

Hades said that he knew that the warp hated him.

During the long, idle time of sailing through the subspace, as the master of forging, Hades accepted Pasteur, who was already socially dead (and he was almost socially dead) as his first apprentice.

Kirkland objected to this, and the dissent was suppressed.

Although Hades didn't have much direct control over Pasteur, he was used to throwing the brainless Death Guard directly into the foundry, and then letting him figure it out on his own - if he had any questions, just go to Hades' office. Hades.

So every time Hades opened the office door, he would see Pasteur and Obiray (another social management talent who was eager to learn and inquisitive) standing in the corridor competing.

Hades really didn't understand. One was silent and the other was eloquent. How did the two of them come to terms with each other? Their companies, cultural customs, and fields were all incomparable. .

Of course, sometimes when Hades opens the office door, he will be rewarded by Vox, who is reprimanding two recruits not to fight in Hades' door.

It’s better for Vox to worry less, and Hades likes it.

But this is all in the past. As the Death Guard sails into the real world, the entire fleet has re-entered the highest intensity of preparations. The Death Guard's scythe is ready to fall again, ready to bring destruction to those who disobey at any time——

The premise is that the management of the legion must first hold a meeting with the management of other legions to discuss what tactics to use.

And Hades, the legion who was going to cooperate with the Death Guard this time, silently stared at the letters on the screen and meditated.

It's the Night Lords and the Luna Wolves.

If there were only Luna Wolves, it would obviously be excellent. Although his motives behind the surface are sometimes suspected, Horus is honorable and rational, and at the same time has extremely rare empathy for his brothers.

What's more, the Death Guard and the Luna Wolves have already cooperated once before. Putting aside the worry that Mortarion might be abducted by Horus, the Moon Wolves before they fell would be excellent comrades on the battlefield.

But...this time there's also the Night Lord.

The Eighth Legion, the Night Lords, could not be said to be hated by everyone, but could also be said to be beaten by everyone. Hades could not judge for the moment whether the reputation of the Death Guard or the Night Lords was worse.

The original body of the Night Lord is Konrad Curze, and his home planet is Nostramo, a cesspit that is no different from Barbarus. The difference is that people on Nostramo are dead, while Barbarus is nothing but human. Everything is rotten.

It can be regarded as a super doubled Gotham City.

Every primarch will be profoundly affected by their home planet. Konrad Curze, who grew up in such a place of outstanding people, naturally also has behaviors that are not understood by others——

To give a simple example, the Night Lord's combat style is to kill a small number of people, then throw the tortured and bloody corpses in front of the still-living enemies, letting fear engulf them, and ultimately defeat themselves without a fight.

Curze called his actions an efficient and necessary crime. They took the initiative to bear the sins that the Empire asked them to bear. The Night Lords defeated a world with minimal casualties, and the world was not damaged. It could be put into production immediately. .

From the perspective of efficiency alone, the Night Lord's combat style may not be an option.

I just don’t know what the local people were thinking when they saw the skinned bodies of their wives and daughters.

Naturally, Konrad Curze's combat style has been criticized by many Primarchs. For example, Human Rights Ambassador Guilliman, who had just cooperated with the Death Guard, once criticized Curze.

[Mercy is the younger brother of justice. Without mercy, justice will become cruel, ruthless, and unethical! 】

Guilliman believed that Curze lacked the necessary kindness.

Hades didn't have much trouble with this fighting style. There were endless atrocities under the empire's borders. Curze just brought them to the surface, and at the same time it had a more impactful perspective.

Moreover, the combat style of the Death Guard reminded Hades of the brutally destroyed Garaspa, the middle and lower management who were hanged on the gallows, and some special weapons.

Hades stopped actively thinking for the time being. Anyway, if the last battle had not been fought against psykers, there was a high probability that Guilliman would have had to give a speech to Mortarion, criticizing the cruelty of the Death Guard.

But Hades is curious, if the Night Lords encounter aliens, will their fear tactics still be applicable?

The communication channel rang, it was time to go to the meeting. Since Horus was the most respected among the three primarchs, the address of this meeting was set as the Vengeful Spirit. As per the old rules, Mortarion ordered Death The guarding fleet is always on alert.

Hades estimated that nothing could be discussed in this meeting. According to the image Horus established to the outside world, he was probably quite keen on getting the two primarchs who met for the first time familiar with each other.

And what’s interesting is that in the original timeline, Mortarion and Curze seemed to have a good relationship. Hades could understand this. To a certain extent, the Death Guard, like the Night Lords, had the necessary of cruelty and brutality.

As for this battle, Hades decided to negotiate with other managers of the Eighth Legion, such as Sevita, Sevita, and Sevita.

Just like Karastifon is nicknamed the true legion commander of the Death Guard, Sevatar is also the true legion commander of the Night Lords - and his contribution to the Night Lords is much greater than Karas.

Hades stood expressionlessly in the Storm Bird, the same position, the same aircraft, the door opening indicator light came on, and a bright crack lit up in the darkness. Hades closed his eyes very consciously.

When he opened it again, he saw exactly the same as before, the wolf god Horus standing in the light and smiling warmly at them, warm and enthusiastic.

And standing next to the Wolf Shepherd God is.

A huge, rickety, scrawny giant, Conrad Coates.

Hades heard the gasping sound coming from Mortarion's respirator beside him.

By the way, other people's metaphor for Mortarion is also wandering between a corpse and a god of death.

Mortarion hates brothers who are upright and talk nice. So this time, I wonder if the dark Lord of Night can attract the favor of the Lord of Death?

Hades didn't want to care about this, and he couldn't care about it. Just like the last farce banquet, Hades's responsibility would only be to prevent the legions from convulsing with the original body.

Hades squinted his eyes and began to search for Sejanus and Sevatar.

Undoubtedly, the first acquaintance he found was Abaddon.

Yes, code!

This article mainly introduces Konrad Coates briefly.
