40. Twilight Raiders

Perseverance.

Right now.

.

Hades was following Motarian down the narrow corridor, and the two were walking slowly, not in a hurry to get to the next place.

Motarian hurried away in silence, giving Hades room to think.

Hades's mind was still thinking about Motarian's words.

Even if all of these veterans from Terra currently swore allegiance to Mortarion, Mortarian would never give them his trust lightly.

This is not Motarian's paranoia, in fact, the veterans of each legion will have a certain amount of friction with the original body and the new recruits who have just arrived.

For example, the Thirteenth Legion Ultramarines, the original Kiliman is not used to the overly violent methods of the Terra veterans. Another example is the Raven Guard of the Nineteenth Legion, where Korakos doesn't like the Terra veterans using the Astral Army as war bait.

If the original is charismatic enough, or has political wisdom enough, then it will be easier for the old and new legions to merge.

The typical positive representative is the Thirteenth Legion, the Ultramarine, Robert Kiriman constantly uses his wisdom to persuade the veterans to embark on a new path.

Or the Ninth Legion, where the holy St. Giles saved the vampires from the rundown.

But there are also less positive representatives...... Like what...... For example, the Fourteenth Legion, the Death Guard.

Mortarian's style is very simple, and he uses his outstanding war acumen and means to make these veterans have to obey.

Then beat these veterans out with a war with high casualties, so as to realize the blood exchange of the legion.

Some stubborn veterans will guard their old glory and volunteer to carry out some death missions.

Some completely chose to believe in their original body and let go of their past glory.

.

In fact, if you look at it from a different perspective and don't think from the perspective of the integration of the old and new legions, then Motarian's methods are not a more efficient method.

In this way, in a short period of time, it is possible to insert their own people into the corps to the maximum extent possible in order to achieve the expansion of their own power.

Some people here may be puzzled, because these Terra-origin veterans have already declared their allegiance to Motarian, how can they talk about the expansion of power?

In fact, it was not so much the Allegiance of the Protos themselves as the fact that the veterans chose to be loyal because the Emperor demanded their allegiance to the Protos.

Most of these Twilight Raider veterans from Terra have seen the majesty and splendor of the Emperor himself, and to them, the Primordial is nothing more than a gift from the Emperor.

With the Primordial, the entire legion will become more powerful, but even without the Primordial, this legion is running in its own mode, non-stop.

What's more, Motarian's return was late compared to the entire Great Expedition, and after Motarian, only Angelon, Korakos, and Omega remained in the empire.

This leads to the psychological independence of the Twilight Raiders.

The former Twilight Raiders, compared to those who still envy Killiman and the magnificent return of the original St. Giles of the Twelfth Legion.

The Fourteenth Legion had long realized that a legion that had left the original could do just fine.

Even, the original Fourteenth Legion, the Twilight Raiders, there is such a thought within the entire Legion -

That is, what can you do with the original body? The Fourteenth Legion without the Primitives could do what the armies led by the Primitives could do.

The most extreme veterans will even think that the original body is nothing more than that, and playfully watch whether the original body can change the entire legion for the better.

The veterans always have their heads held high, and they have their proud capital.

.

.

These veterans who have fought most of the war alone walk the universe silently, while other legions cheer for the recovery of their original bodies and prepare for a grand welcome ceremony, and the Twilight Raiders fight silently in all corners of the galaxy.

When St. Giles kneels before his heirs, when Killiman of the Octrama Empire reforges glory for the Ultramarines, when Dorne returns with his vast and perfect pocket empire,

The legions, who had not yet recovered their original bodies, had to watch their performance from the audience.

Some legions were envious, wishing that their original bodies would be as noble as St. Giles, as glorious as Killiman, and as proud as Horus.

There is no Space Marine who does not yearn for the father who is connected to their genes.

They want their original body to be the best one, they want their original body to be the most unique one, and they want to be led to be the most glorious one.

But there are always legions that are an exception.

For example, the former Fourteenth Legion, the Twilight Raiders.

They have their own culture, they have their own history.

When the point of attack of a planet silently rotated to the junction of light and shadow, the general offensive of the Fourteenth Legion had just begun.

They take advantage of the twilight to launch a massive ground attack on the enemy, the dim and charming light hazy the gray power armor of the Space Marines, and the ancient and traditional Albian tactics are still playing their part in the universe.

They are the brave men from Terra, and they are the solid right arm of the emperor.

As a result, they have earned themselves a unique title - the Twilight Raiders.

They have their own pride.

.

.

What is even more intriguing is that the Twilight Raiders are arrogant, independent, silent and stubborn, and do not depend on the personality of the superior, to some extent......

He is the son of Motarian.

.

.

The original tall body was still roaming the corridors of the Forbearance, and Hades looked at Motarian, wondering how he was getting along with the veterans.

As far as Hades is concerned, he is still more inclined to hope that the old and new legions will be better integrated.

The first is that Hades respects these veterans who have fought all their lives, and the second is that the legions with a large number of veterans are often more combative.

The third is ...... If Motarian insists on rebelling, these veterans from Terra will be the last loyalists of the Death Guards......

Sometimes, it can be difficult to think about things because you are always reluctant to face them.

Hades knew that although he had succeeded in breaking one of Motarian's demons, fate was ...... Hades is still more inclined to double insurance.

As for Typhon, Hades will find a way, and if he can be persuaded then he will try.

But if it really doesn't work......

- Then kill him.

But Hades' concern is that even if he kills a future betrayer, will there be a second betrayer, or a third betrayer?

Even, even if there were no betrayers, would Mortarian be enchanted by Nurgle's design?

What's more, even if there is no Nurgle design, in the original plot, Motarian would have chosen to betray because of Horus's persuasion.

For now, killing the alien lord Nacre is only the tiniest detail in the vast destiny of the entire Warhammer.

As a tiny member of the race, how much splash can Hades struggle?

......

Things in the future are too treacherous, and the power of the individual is too small.

Based on the current information, Hades has not yet been able to make his own decisions about the next steps.

Is it to escape? Is it a war? Is it to turn the tide? Or is it hidden in fate?

The mystery on his body is already full of suspicions.

Hades needs to look more, he needs to think more.

He'll find his answer.
