41. If you can skip work, of course, you have to skip work
Perseverance.
Right now.

"This is a personal viewing room."
Motarian's voice echoed through the empty space.
A whole piece of tempered glass was embedded in the dark gray wall, and the starlight slowly poured in from the other side of the universe.
Several dark green flags with the Death Guard logo hung from the walls, and two rows of black couches were randomly placed in the center of the room.
Motarian stood by the window, looking out at the vastness of the universe.
Hades looked at countless stars, and the deep space seemed to swallow everything......
In the center of the viewing window, the planet shrouded in green mist was slowly spinning, and the hazy moss green embraced it.
A massive, mechanically shimmering ring hovered above it, and from time to time a spaceship flew out of it.
Barbaros ......
The glowing dim yellow light shone onto Hades' face, and fine dust floated in the faint light.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Motarian's hoarse voice rang out,
"But I didn't expect such a beautiful planet to be so ugly under the fog."
"Will the Empire help improve the gas environment in Barbarus?"
Hades pretended to be bland and said,
In the original plot, the emperor used the transformation of Barbarus's environment as a bait to hope that Motarian would join the empire, which was naturally vetoed by Motarian.
Hades hoped that now that Motarian had already killed Nacre, he would not refuse the Empire's offer to transform Barbarus' environment.
As the home planet of the original body, wouldn't it be good to build a little more prosperity after tithing?
"They did make that suggestion."
"But I'm wondering, will the Barbaros who have lost their poison gas environment become weak?"
Hades was speechless......
But in fact, it is not only Motarian who thinks this way, but also the original body of the Sixth Legion, and Riemannrus also thinks so.
Riemanrus' home planet is a dead world covered in ice and snow - Fenris, and when the Empire made Fenris a new recruiting point for the Sixth Legion, Riemanrus asked not to be informed of the existence of the Fenris Empire.
He believed that only those who had overcome the bitter cold of ice and snow alone could become warriors of the Sixth Legion.
Hades can't directly dismiss this view, but in his simple values, since he can make the whole life better, there is no need to deliberately use difficulties to hone others.
After all, not everyone wants to be a war machine like a Space Marine, and some people may just want to live their lives smoothly.
Hades thought for a moment, and he spoke,
"Tenacity is an innate quality of the Barbarooths, it flows in the blood of every Barbaros and does not change because of the change of circumstances."
"And, I believe, a gas-free environment will allow the new generation of Barbaros to grow stronger."
Motarian was silent.
He thought of the children who had turned purple and died early because of excessive inhalation.
Are they weakling? If they were given a chance to grow up, would they make good fighters?
He hesitated.
"Perhaps...... I should agree to this offer from the Empire. β
Hades smiled,
"I don't think you'll regret that decision."
"The people of Barbaros will be grateful to you."
Mortarian shrugged,
"Hopefully they won't become cowardly because of this decision."
At the same time, Motarian stretched out his hand and touched the glass, and in an instant, a picture appeared on the glassβ
It's like the outside of glass, and in the universe, there is really a huge battleship floating slowly.
Huge and icy dark green, silver-white metallic luster flickered mercilessly, the dagger-like smooth hull of the ship, slender spikes protruding from the bow of the ship, piercing the void.
The streamlined dark gray metal frame, with the plow-shaped bow of the ship is the huge imperial double-headed eagle insignia, and the golden double-headed eagle is inexplicably at odds with the style of this giant ship.
Next to the double-headed eagle emblem is an iron-gray skull badge of the same size - the emblem of the Death Guard.
Beside her, the delicate little warships were dwarfed by the mere ants.
Like a scythe in the hands of the Grim Reaper, this giant ship silently slashed across the universe.
Hades certainly knows what it is - the mothership of the Death Guard, the Glory Queen-class battleship, the USS Endurance!
That's really ...... So beautiful......
Unlike Hades' imaginary church thrusters, the low-key and icy Stoic is anyone's dream of a space battleship.
This such a beautiful flagship was given to Motarian by the emperor for nothing......
Hades admits that in that moment, he was indeed jealous.
Motarian smiled,
"This is the Endurance, the ship we're on right now."
"It's so beautiful......"
"I decorated her, this girl was not so beautiful before."
Indeed, the main shade of gray-green was the handiwork of Motarian, and before that, the Twilight Raiders used a deep red.
"Too much decoration will always obscure her own beauty."
"In the future, I intend to inscribe on the bow of her ship all the battles that the Death Guard has experienced."
Motarian smiled with some pride,
You're here to show off!
Hades felt his teeth itch.
.
Afterwards, Motarian told Hades to start training with the company tomorrow, and that these Terra standard months were just small training.
Hades had recently been following the company to familiarize himself with how a Space Marine fights.
Even though Motarian was keen to place Barbaros in the company's management post as soon as possible, the Barbaros warriors, who had just undergone a transformation operation and had no more than six standard months of training for no more than six standard Terra months, were still not up to any of their duties.
They don't even meet the criteria for being a good starmarine.
If Motarian wants to put Barbaros in the management post, he will also need to have a shortage of veterans with seniority above, and the new generation of Barbaros will be able to start working on this after they have made great achievements.
So for now, all the affairs of the Legion are still in the hands of Terra-Terran veterans.
Motarian can't help Hades on the surface, after all, as a primordial, he also needs to establish his prestige in the army, and it is obviously a reckless move to promote a "new soldier" in the eyes of the Terras just after taking office.
.
Following Motarian, Hades basically went around the places he might have frequented since the Endurance, and by the way, he took a look at some places with good scenery, or high-tech, that made people look dazzling and ornamental.
They began to return, and Mortarian and Hades took the elevator inside the Stoic and slowly climbed towards the Space Marine Rest Area.
Looking at the dense floor numbers on the elevator, Hades suddenly remembered something during the long elevator wait.
Wait, Motarian came to him alone?
The Death Guard also has a very distinctive class, which is the original body guard of the original Motarian, the Death Shroud.
These warriors, dressed in heavy Terminator Power Armor, would silently follow Primordial Motarian for forty-nine paces to protect the Primordial.
And the soldiers who become the death shroud will be marked as "killed" in their own company.
Maybe it's because it's still in the run-in period, so Motarian hasn't built the Death Shroud yet, Hades thought.
But that's not right, isn't it?
In the Grand View Garden visit just now, except for some mortal crew members and servants, Hades didn't see any other death guards.
......
Hades looked at Motarian with a little caution,
"Mortarian, you're the leader of the Death Guard now, aren't you?"
"Hmm."
Motarian snorted happily.
β...... Aren't you busy right now? β
As if aware of what Hades was knocking on the side, Mortarian's calm voice rang out as before,
"It's time to rest."
Hades silently glanced at the elevator wall where time was floating in the elevator,
[21:36 in Standard Terra]
Given that the Space Marines are all macho men who only sleep four hours a day, this point in time is far from resting time.
Hades looked at Motarian again.
Motarian was silent.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
......
Eventually, Motarian couldn't take it anymore.
"I asked the commander of the first company, Barasin, to temporarily take care of the regimental training."
