In the Stoic's single medical room, two pharmacists are busy at work in front of the medical table.

In the originally dimly lit room, the harsh white light illuminated the operating table, and around the operating table, the infusion tubes were jagged, hanging from the shelves, surrounded by different instruments, making a calm and regular ticking sound.

The tall figure of the original body sat silently on the chair in front of the operating table, and at the request of the pharmacist, Motarian removed his poisonous gas incense burner, and his body without poisonous gas was noticeably thinner.

A primordial-only servant stood next to Motarion.

"Alright, sir."

A pharmacist walked up to Motarian and motioned for Motarian to wake up in a moment.

And the pharmacist Leo stared at Hades in silence, in the pharmacist's calculations, the effect of the anesthetic was about to fade-

Hades' eyelids moved, and he opened them.

Leo gave Hades a "kind" smile.

Yo, young man, you're awake.

That's right, he's the pharmacist who got dropped on his back.

Leo still feels a dull pain in his back, this kid has a lot of strength.

At that time, he went to chase Hades to get Hades back to rest, but he didn't expect the guy to come up and get a back fall and then run away.

Ha ha.

Now you're lying here again, aren't you?

Of course, for the sake of Hades' recovery speed, he deliberately injected less analgesics, and when he sutured, he touched a few insignificant nerves for the recovery of muscles.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Leopi's smiling smile, and Hades gasped, ready to accept the bloody rain.

However, Leo simply stared at him as if he were about to kill, and stepped aside.

Seeing that Hades was in a stable condition, the two pharmacists retreated to the equipment area separated by a white cloth, leaving room for the Legion Commander and Hades to talk.

Hades knew why Leo didn't knife him anymore.

Hades sat up, and sure enough, he stared at Motarian speechlessly.

Motarian also lowered his head and did not speak, and the original body laid his huge scythe obituary flat on his seated knee, and the massive chain blade lightly touched the ground with a soft sound.

When the silence of the two had already made the pharmacist next door feel uneasy, Hades spoke.

"Let me take a look at the stats for the Death Guard campaign, I've been looking at the stats on Galaspa and haven't paid much attention to the campaign itself."

Mortarian snorted, and he raised his hand to let the servant beside him pass the datapad.

Hades took the board and began to look through the data, pre-battle preparations, and the number of ships involved.

Well. Decent way.

Hades crossed a page –

His eyes went dark, this number, this number you told me that it was the TM battle loss ratio?!

Hades went straight back and almost died.

Startled by the sharp alarm of the instrument, Mortarian stood up, his chair making a sharp noise on the ground.

The two pharmacists in the compartment quickly rushed out and began a new wave of rescues.

It took a few more moments for Hades to recover.

"Don't get excited, your blood pressure just now is too high."

Leo glared at Hades as if warning, then repacked his equipment and left.

"Good"

Hades replied weakly.

Then he looked back at Motarian.

"I'm fine, sit down."

However, Motarian still stood, and after a long silence, the original body asked sullenly,

"So we're actually failing?"

Hades took a deep breath,

"No, this battle is a victory for the Death Guard."

But it was a pyrrhic victory.

If you exclude the exaggerated damage from the explosion, this battle of Galaspar can be called a classic battle - in the early stage of breaking through the galaxy defense tactics.

Hitting the crowd with less, and one step slower is death.

When a galaxy is full of defensive weapons, in addition to the conventional encirclement and hard gnawing, then a quick battle is also another choice for the sword.

The advantage is to concentrate your own forces, directly pry open the gap on the opposite side, and directly take the opponent's head.

If it is successful, it will cause less damage than in the usual style of play.

But the disadvantage is that if you miss one move, you will lose the whole game.

As long as there is a momentary hesitation in the middle, or if the enemy succeeds in interfering for a moment, then the endless defense fleet on the opposite side, flooding the sea of stars, will surround the surprise death guards, slowly and unstoppably devouring everything.

Motarian's tactic is typical of giving up his backhand and fighting with his back.

More than half of the ships of the Death Guard were involved in the campaign, as well as a quarter of the entire Legion's strength.

As the commander-in-chief, Motarian was even in the vanguard of the raid himself.

Hades almost lost his breath in this play.

If it is a battle of life and death for the entire legion, Hades will of course say that it is well fought and fought well, and when there is only one legion of troops, Motarian's method of fighting is self-explanatory.

But it's not!

Motarian could even choose not to attack this system!

Originally, the Imperial War Department's profile and judgment of this civilization was correct, that is, this kind of galaxy was not suitable for a single army attack at all.

The safest way to play is the encirclement of the three legions, slowly attrition and encirclement.

And this style of play will undoubtedly be a bloody meat grinder, and the casualties will definitely rise greatly, but because the casualties are shared by multiple legions, it will not make one legion bear too many casualties.

Motarian's style of play amounted to using "fewer" casualties (but still too much for a legion to bear) and betting that his own legion would not be annihilated in this battle.

Obviously, the result was that he won the bet and the Death Guard won the battle.

But if you put this battle into a more macro perspective, you will find that it is a loss-making business.

The purpose of war is to fight for the greater interests of one's own side.

Putting the cart before the horse, even if it is overcome, it is boring.

Hades looked at Motarian with complexity, and he suddenly remembered that when he was on Barbarus, it seemed that Motarian had never considered economic and livelihood issues such as post-war recovery.

It's just that due to the speed of the liberation of the Death Guard, and the lack of alien lord oppression, the productivity and fertility of the Barbaros people have been greatly liberated, so during the reign of Motalian, the population and civilization of Barbaros ushered in a period of prosperity.

And Motarian survived to keep an eye on the army's training numbers, and on Barbarus, people rushed from other places to join the army every day.

On Barbarus, Motarian led the army for the simple reason of liberating humanity under the rule of a tyrant.

Obviously, the original body thinks the same way now, and does it.

So there was the Battle of Galaspa.

But after all, the legion does not eat purely by faith, it is a complex and large interest group.

Belief and means are indispensable.

In the early stage, niche organizations, such as the rebels on Barbarus, could cover up their original tactical flaws with rapid increments, but at the point of the large army, they had to be carefully calculated.

After all, the increase in the number of Space Marines and the replenishment of the fleet are far more troublesome than an additional population.

In other words, apart from Robert Killiman, as well as Horus and Fernus, it seems that the other primordials also have a semi-neglected attitude towards the operation of the Legion in this regard?

Hades felt a deep sense of powerlessness envelop him, and he decided to give this young and unknown primordial science popularization,

"Death, why did you choose to attack Garaspa?"

Motarian blinked,

"The people here are under the rule of tyrants, just as we were in Barbarus, so I promised them liberation."

But I later found out that it wasn't the case.

Motarian continued slowly, dragging his chair over and sitting down to continue.

After meeting the two brothers, the original body also thought a lot,

"Hades, do you know what he told me when I first met the emperor?"

“？”

Hades really didn't know.

"He said I would be his scythe to liberate the tyranny of the entire galaxy."

"He told me that there are countless human civilizations oppressed at the feet of tyrants, and I am the liberator he has created."

"That's why I chose to accept the legion he gave me."

Hades was silent, and he suddenly realized something-

Not all of the primordials were willing to work for the Emperor's Great Expedition in the first place.

Throwing away those who had been impressed by the emperor's charisma at the beginning, the emperor made promises to others.

Some Primordials want glory, and the emperor promises glory, and some Primordials want to preference, and the emperor promises preference, and some Primordials want peace, and the emperor promises peace

And for Motarian, what the emperor promised was liberation.

But it is clear that the things promised by the emperor are too vague, or only momentary.

When the original body actually took over the legion and was tied to the Empire's chariot, there was no turning back.

The Primitives could certainly use the Legion to try to fulfill their ideas and promises, and in fact, every Primitives do the same.

As long as the empire's plans are completed and the red line is not touched, the emperor naturally does not care about this.

So in fact, in a sense, for example, Robert Killiman, he built the infrastructure, only because some of his beliefs were related to him, and it also happened to be in line with the direction of building the legion.

Well.

Hades suddenly realized, so Motarian actually knew what he wanted to say, but now threatened him with a burden?!

Motarian had already sensed that the Emperor's words were different from what the Empire had asked him to do.

At the end of the day, it's all about the angle of the position.

Naturally, Hades wanted to develop the Death Guard to deal with the bloody storm that followed.

Motarian, on the other hand, wants to fulfill his original promise to overthrow all tyranny, and his priority is higher than legion-building.

Hades thought for a moment, and then he spoke cautiously,

"Death, now that the Legion has completed its mission of liberation and Galaspa's tyranny has been overthrown, what do you want to do next?"

Motarian was silent.

He never thought about it.

When he first saw Galaspa, he was confronted with the decapitation of the tyrant's head, and he saw the tyrant's order crumble under the attack of the Death Guard.

But he never imagined how a new order would emerge after the killing and destruction.

In Barbaros, people simply followed him, and order was established spontaneously.

Hades was also speechless, although he kept claiming liberation, Motarian really didn't want anything else.

I thought the Empire would send someone to take over the rest of the construction."

Hades spoke,

"Obviously, with the current size of the empire and the chaotic level of front-line management, they can only choose to break their promise."

Motarian nodded.

"Except for the tax department."

He added in a whisper,

"Death, then why do you want to overthrow tyranny?"

Hades continued to be enticing, while the primordial across from him fell into a new round of silence.

"Oppression is wrong, the oppressed do not have their own freedom and life."

This was the first thing Motarian learned under Nacre's oppression.

"But in addition to oppression, in a chaotic and disorderly world, people are generally unable to achieve true freedom and their own lives."

Hades said.

"So we can't just overthrow tyranny, we need to rebuild in order to achieve your goal."

"And rebuilding will require more men, more death guards."

"We can't afford to lose so many warriors in one battle, because we still need to liberate other civilizations."

“.”

"You're right."

Motarian muttered listlessly,

"I may be too attached to liberation itself."

You can't replace one tyranny with another, Vulcan's words echoed in Motarian's ears all the time.

"Liberation is not a bad thing in itself."

Hades laughed, he finally dragged this original body back!

Hurry up and strike while the iron is hot -

"Just taking advantage of the present, Galaspa is included in the conscription planet of the death guard, I checked the official documents before, the conscription planet and the post-war conditions, just meet the tax exemption conditions of the empire, first report the tax exemption application, and then discuss the construction from the long term."

Motarian slowly opened the channel communication,

"Gara, hand over Galaspa's application for tax exemption to the Empire."

Without giving the other side a chance to speak, Motarian quickly turned off the channel again.

And Hades across from him was screaming silently, and this kind of leadership attitude of assigning tasks almost triggered the PTSD of the overtime dog.

You can't do that to your subordinates!

"Alright, do as you say."

Motarian spoke, and the original body, which had already cleared his mind, instantly returned to his former state.

"Galaspar will be the next recruiting site for the Death Guard."

"Now, let's talk about why you missed the Battle of Garaspa."

"Your mechanic assistant has already said it, but I don't mind hearing it again."

？！

"So. That's it. ”

Hades carefully recounted the events on that planet with the Grim Reaper's eyes of death.

"Eldar."

Motarian chewed on the blasphemous words, well, he remembered them.

Since there is still a lot to do about Motarian, Hades briefly talked about his vision for the construction of Galaspa.

Then Hades suddenly remembered, and he asked about the Death Guard recruitment.

But what Hades didn't know was that this mouthpiece saved the entire Death Guard in a sense.

"Oh, I sent Karastiphon back to recruit soldiers, and he asked for it."

Ahh!!h

Leave Galaspar alone, Barbaros is going to be stolen!!

This TM is Luthor's script?!

"Back to Barbarus."

Hades said weakly,

"Immediately, now, immediately."

After Motarian left,

The two apothecaries, who were behind the white cloth, looked at each other silently, understanding the unfinished words in each other's eyes.

Just had a conversation.

Why do they feel. Hades is the one who makes the decisions?
