Chapter 1296: Chaos and ruthlessness are the norm
When Albert, the father of the aberration, asks Orson the Cruel for help through a soul contract, Orson is inspecting his army.
Compared with the orderly and hierarchical devils of the DND Nine-Layer Hell, the chaotic forces of the Warhammer 40K Universe are more like the demons of the bottomless abyss, following certain unspoken rules in the chaos, so as to be orderly in the chaos.
War gangs, this word, is a representative of this kind of order in chaos.
Compared with the veteran princes and lords under the command of the evil gods, the fallen space marines who later joined the chaos forces obviously paid more attention to order and discipline. This is already a habit engraved on the soul, affecting a lifetime, and it is difficult to change.
And the cruel Orson is the kind of person who pays more attention to order among the fallen space marines. I have always paid attention to maintaining the order of my own system, and tried to reward and punish them in moderation.
But it's not easy to do it well.
In a related classic saying: Lao Tzu did not hesitate to betray everything in the past, just to pursue freedom and lawlessness, but as a result, you are still on the line every day, what kind of mood do you say Lao Tzu is?
The degenerate often have big problems, lazy bones, drillers, arrogant, greedy, etc., most of which are also shameless and lack of loyalty, and it is not ordinary to manage a team of such people.
As a demon lord, a large part of Aosen's energy is devoted to this kind of thing. And every time there is a military operation, this aspect of the problem is particularly prominent, and more investment is required.
This is also the reason why at this point in time, Orson is condolences to the army.
To put it nicely, this is called pre-war mobilization, but to put it mildly, these arrogant soldiers and old oilmen will ask for money to do some work, and this is a change of direction and a promotion fee. Specifically, it needs not only promises and visible benefits, but also deterrence and cutting off the heads of a few jumpers.
The style of painting before the battle of the army of the chaotic forces has always been like this, which is completely different from Kane's steel discipline, the strict temperament of the army, and the uniformity.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Orson has always been clear about what the core purpose of his operation is.
He knew that Gradius had something to offer, but he didn't know what it was.
Therefore he needs to be a yellow finch.
However, his way of thinking as a yellow finch is different from those who hide in the shadows and observe, hoping to make a black hand at a critical moment.
Past experience has taught him that this kind of thinking is too taken for granted, and most of the time it will not work.
He believes that the key point is to control the situation. The snipe and the clam compete with each other, and they must all be exhausted, so that the fisherman can make a profit.
So, how do you accurately judge the state of a sandpiper mussel?
In Orson's view, the only reliable way is to compare himself with it.
The rest are unreliable.
Other people's standards may not be suitable for one's own.
What's more, who is the first person to circulate the information in the market, hearsay, or falsehood?
Those seemingly shrewd fools are just picking up their favorite information in a pile of unreliable information, and then believing it to be true, even as a standard answer.
He's not going to do that kind of stupid thing.
So the last time the Buzhoushan faced off with the orc fleet, although he looked at it squarely, and later came into contact with the Gazo family, he roughly understood its strength level. But Orson still doesn't know his opponent well enough.
In his opinion, the other party is a big deal, which is extraordinary. He didn't expect to even look at the other party's killer features, but he had to be extremely cautious.
He felt that if he used an ordinary powerful wargroup to estimate the combat effectiveness of the First Order, most of them would suffer a big loss at a critical moment.
But if it is too overestimated, it is not suitable, and it is easy to be timid and miss the opportunity.
Therefore, this time he used the Casso orcs as cannon fodder, and sent Albert to secretly infiltrate Gradius and cause trouble against human habitats, which was not a warm-up battle before the Great War in the general sense, but had two purposes.
1. More means to force out the opponent.
2. Take the opportunity to complete the deployment of your own military forces.
This is actually all from the perspective of being a good fisherman.
It was precisely because of this background that Albert's request for help made him feel very embarrassed.
Sitting alone on the Blood Skull Throne, modeled after the Throne of the Skull, Orson leaned over, one hand resting on the bone armrest, and his cheek resting on his cheeks, recalling the memories of spending time with Albert.
When he did this, he actually made a choice:
Abandon!
He gave up on rescuing Albert and activated the secret pact of the soul contract he had signed.
"I warned you before that this is a big deal, so be especially careful. It seems that you don't care!" he said to himself.
He didn't want to give up on Albert if he could.
Not because Albert is irreplaceable.
At one point, Albert was indeed of almost irreplaceable value to his team.
But after becoming a demon lord, especially after the bottomless cave has its own foundation, and proves that his lord's seat is very stable with one victory after another, the situation of people taking the initiative to come to the door began to happen.
Albert also knew about this, and found several capable subordinates.
He even knew that Albert also had the problem of being jealous of the virtuous and suppressing the great potential. Specifically, such people can be used as death experimenters, engaged in high-risk research projects, and so on.
For this kind of thing, he has always chosen to be silent.
Silence is sometimes discontent, sometimes conniving.
And he had both states.
In the early days, I was not very satisfied, because the cake was bigger and needed more excellent efforts, and Albert's approach affected the efficiency of the absorption and birth of new blood.
But then, it was connivance. It's not because of long-term habits, or because I know that there is no shortage of talented leeks that can be cut repeatedly, but because I have a better channel to attract people.
There are two main channels.
1. Circles.
The demon lord is also a character in the chaos series, just like the nobles of the Middle Ages, although they are not earls and dukes, but only the level of landlords and squires, but nobles are nobles and are members of the rulers.
2. Inspiration.
Inspiration is generally a means used by the gods to gather potential seedlings. Gods can use it, and demons can use it, such as the Lich King and Kel'thugad in World of Warcraft, the latter sensed the former's 'evil waves', so he went bankrupt and got a big ship to go all the way to Northrend in the ice and snow.
The Demon Lord may not be able to play this trick, but Orson has already walked on the road to ascension to demons, and even stepped into the ranks of demons on one leg. And so he got this ability.
If dark worship and depraved faith are a big cake, then Orson, who has obtained this ability, has the power to take the cake from the super cake table.
Of course, most of the time, all he can get is what others pick leftovers, or simply scum.
But it's still great. Take advantage of the big guys' naps, or eat a lot of money, have no desires, or get big benefits somewhere, and are in a good mood to put benefits, like him, you can get some good resources.
He did not put these human resources in the inherent team, which is a big dye vat, with all kinds of bad habits, and the accumulation of shortcomings is very deep, and it is difficult to correct. Newcomers throw it in and it will soon be contaminated.
He chose to build another team.
The original one, because of his almost grassroots beginnings and immaturity at the time, has been integrated with too many wrong results and expedient measures along the way, which can be described as a lot of problems.
And the new team was formed on the basis of becoming a demon lord and having a variety of favorable factors such as territory, certain wealth, and experience accumulation. Overall, self is stronger.
The old and new teams, the new team, are prepared after completing the ascension of demons and achieving the demon prince.
The old team is a sacrifice.
This is a law discovered by Aosen, the path of ascension of the chaos series is the process of liking the new and hating the old.
In other words, the transformation is divided into individual and collective, and the individual as the core has completed the sublimation, so that the collective must also keep up with this pace, so as not to become a burden, but to continue to complement each other.
And the transformation itself is indispensable to the blessing of the evil god, which is also the main reason for the sacrifice. To please the evil gods, with their help, there is a high probability of stepping through the hurdle of that life level, and from then on, the original god will be entrusted to the subspace, in exchange for the huge benefits of almost immortality.
From this point of view, this war can be said to be a large-scale clearance of weapons and ammunition that is about to expire.
Even so, Albert's loss so early still made Orson feel a little painful. After all, Albert's command ability is not bad, especially commanding the army of aberrants, there is an additional bonus, and as an important general, he can be on the front line, which also has a certain impact on his morale.
Just as he was thinking, a shadow soul silently appeared in Aosen's field of vision, and the eerie blue light on his body was extinguished.
Orson snorted and telepathically said, "If there's a situation, report it." ”
Shadow Soul is a slave created by Orsen through brutal sorcery, and has always been his dedicated communicator, the kind with a unique trait.
"The Faceless One has arrived. ”
The faceless one is the R&D team in the new team system that can replace Albert, there are hundreds of people, but there will no longer be a powerful person like Albert born in this team, and the meaning of "faceless" is this.
In the future, in Aosen's eyes, in terms of technical research under his own command, there is only a team, no leader, chief and the like.
"Tell them to get things done first. I look at their performance when they take over the lab department, and then decide whether to meet them or not. ”
Watching the shadow soul flash and leave, Ao Sen knew in his heart that this was not a simple job, and his three subordinates all had a considerable degree of self-respect.
The experimental department was regarded by Albert as his own one-third place, and there was even a group of diehards who only knew that Albert had him, but did not know that he had Orson.
Since similar things are common among the forces of chaos, in the past, for the sake of better cooperation, Orson only didn't see it.
Not now.
Most of those who took Albert that day, even if they disobeyed the order, they would arrange rescue as soon as possible.
Albert had a soul contract with them similar to his soul contract with Albert, but the terms were only more partial.
He could understand the pain of those people who loved Albert as much as he loved himself, but he couldn't let it go, ruining his overall plan. Even if those people don't know much about the plan, they may leak information about their origins, military strength, and longboards.
Albert doesn't, there is a contract.
Albert really won't, because he's in a half-stupid state right now.
Aosen, who has the power to unilaterally terminate the soul contract, ends the soul contract between the two, and also activates a hidden, but also the most powerful contract law, oblivion.
When it comes to souls, Kane is an expert on the multiverse.
Even he was in awe of it, and the ordinary cow-haired gods could be imagined. And Aosen, who is not even a god, but only knows how to use the application technique that he doesn't know where to get it, his operation is naturally even rougher and superficial.
But there is also a rough way.
Like the one for Albert, the core idea of the spell is: a dream.
This contract spell, from the very beginning, has established a high-end psychological suggestion base for the recipient, and until it is 'truly awakened', all experiences are nothing more than a dream.
Dreams are always absurd, and after people wake up, it is extremely difficult to recall all the episodes of the dream, just a few fragments that are particularly profound, but they are only temporary profound, if you don't think about it repeatedly, you will soon forget it.
And this contract spell uses this quality of dreams, or this mechanism of the brain, to achieve the purpose of forgetting.
Of course, the conditions for achieving this technique are also quite harsh.
Not only must the recipient be willing to accept it, but also must not be mentally strong, or have a particularly strong will, or have been successful in this area, such as mastering the Occlumency Technique.
In other words, it was when they were both weak that Orson was able to successfully cast the spell with the help of special methods, and now, even if both parties cooperate, this contract cannot be concluded.
Orson was scheming back then, and the old bureau of his subordinates successfully pitted Albert.
After all, before the contract was signed, Albert was already an adult with clear three views and a complete personality, and there was a foundation there.
It's just that I lost too many memories for a while, and I still inevitably fell into confusion and confusion, so that I exposed the gap in my heart, and was invaded by the wizard of order and fainted.
At this moment, Kane's figure emerged from the dark night nearby, touched his chin, and thought: "Such a character is actually a pawn who says he will give up." It seems that this opponent is not only decisive, but also magnanimous. No wonder it can transform the troublemaker number and let the orcs be used as guns, it's really money that can be ......"
Obviously, Kane was a little misunderstood, in fact, the magic change of the trouble number was completely the result of the revenge of the orcs represented by Gazo.
Even the Waaagh spirit has been lost, and it can be said that the qualification for the last fight was obtained at all costs, but it has little to do with Orson.
