Finally sending everyone away, Hades sighed lightly, sat down to rest, and then subconsciously went to take the bread that the death guards had left for him just now.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Hades jerked back his hand and coughed twice in embarrassment.

He swore an oath!

Seeing that Hades was not busy, Galo, who looked tired on the side, walked over and briefly reported to Hades the situation on planets 4 and 5.

Garo looked at Hades with an inquiring gaze, and Hades smiled and said hoarsely,

"You're in charge, Garo?"

"Thank you Commander for your trust."

Hades finally couldn't hold back, and pulled a piece of bread, which was so fragrant, he said while eating,

"Don't keep it a secret, let everyone see the cost of making trouble on the Death Guard territory."

"You're on vacation, Garo."

Hades pulled out a stack of papers and tapped it on Garro's shoulder.

"I know you don't like to be lively, but you have to do it, and you have to have a purging and edifying effect."

Garo took the relevant information handed over by Hades with his hand, nodded silently, and went out.

Hades looked in the direction of Galo's departure, thoughtfully, he could already foresee the blood splattered on the power armor of the combat company commander.

To tell the truth, compared to Vaux, Garo is not a person who is good at handling political documents, but the management of the Death Guard is only a few people, and after the Battle of Galaspa, it has consumed a lot of people, so Garo knows that he must be on top.

Hades can still feel that Garo still has his own temper at the beginning, but now he doesn't know what's going on, probably because he has lost his anger in the official document, and he no longer has the original exposed anger.

Belch. When Hades trains the next class of administrators, let Galodo go to the battlefield.

It just so happened that the administrative staff recruited in Galaspa before, after several years of actual combat, can pick a group to follow the legion.

Hades pondered, thinking about Barbarus's next move, he still had to meet those people, do those things.

The bread was quickly finished, and Hades clapped his hands, got up, and looked back at Motarian.

Motarian was still reading the official document, but Hades felt that he was in a daze.

"Mortarian, what are you looking for me? I've been too busy just now. ”

In the shadow of the hood, in the deep sockets of the eyes, the eyes were removed from the official document and stared thoughtfully at Hades.

"It's fine."

Eventually, Motarian said slowly.

He'd just been listening to Hades talk to the Death Guards, and Hades had been telling the cubs about the history of Barbarus.

To the Primordial's surprise, Barbarus's current situation doesn't seem to be what he thinks.

Most of the people, in order to survive and further develop, did not hesitate to risk the danger of subspace navigation, and rushed to Barbaros on high-risk civilian ships.

Most of the humans who want to settle in the Barbaros system come from nearby worlds of the dead, or planets that have just been war-torn.

There are also adventurers who want to make a difference, some want to sail around with the Ronin Traders, some want to cooperate with the mechanical sages, and even more, some come to Barbarus with the hope of joining the Legion.

Joining the Legion is a "belief" that is widely spread among the human settlements here.

After all, the grave keepers who are responsible for maintaining order and law and order here are too mysterious and powerful, and in the years when the Death Guard Legion has not come, they have become the embodiment of the Legion in the hearts of ordinary people.

While Motarian doesn't want those who live in greenhouses, the Lord of Death can consider it if it's a dead world.

Those fleets just now, also with the arrival of the [Welcome] Legion, Motarian thought irritably, most of them hadn't even seen it, and they knew what the Death Guards were doing, so they dared to rush up directly to welcome it?

But at least they weren't hostile, maybe this was human recklessness, and he forgave them.

Except for those high-ranking nobles.

Motarian was born to fight with those who were in charge of power and money, and according to the likes and dislikes of the original body, these guys should go straight to the gallows.

But Galaspa's [atrocities] bloodily tell Motarian the truth, that the existence of those people is necessary and inevitable if they want to develop, rather than struggle in ruins.

If the Primordial still wanted humanity's tomorrow to come in peace and serenity, then he couldn't send them all to the gallows.

According to what Hades had just explained to the death guards, the nobles had come and waited aimlessly, except to discuss technology with the mechanical sages and trade with each other—

The main purpose is still to see the attitude of the legion.

Motarian remembered Hades' words just now,

"These people who are already in charge of a side of power are more worried about the overthrow of power than more interests, so when they face the imperial army, those who are hundreds of times stronger than them, most of the rulers choose to surrender directly and obediently pay tithes in exchange for the stability of power."

"But let's be honest, the armies of the empire conquer, go away, and then leave behind the restless rulers, whose hearts will always hang there—"

"—until a definite territorial power emerges, represents the Empire, teaches them how to submit step by step, teaches them the rules called the Empire, and guarantees their safety."

"And this being, it will be the Death Guard, it will be Barbarus."

"The powerful have privileges, they will figure out the attitude of the death guards, they will give in, and the death guards have supreme power before the boundaries they set in the first place."

We can even test their bottom line and force them to regress step by step."

Hades smiled kindly at the death guards around him,

"After all, power and money are by-products of attachment to violence, and as legions, we are the most violent beings in the empire."

Although Hades did not hang the men on the gallows, Motarian felt that Hades had mentally pronounced the death sentence on those men.

But Hades was right, those people would succumb to the death guards, and if Motarian hated a certain trait of them, then they would change.

Motarian pondered Hades' words slowly, the Lord of Death was more likely to accept the naked, cold truth than the justice the Empire had taught him.

As long as you put the scythe on everyone's neck, then everyone will listen to you.

Motarian knew this well, and he thought that the relationship between planets and planets was just an extension of this concept.

But Motarian was deluded by appearances, haunted by words that were deliberately defined as complex and obscure, deceived by the smiling faces of the rulers, which gave the Lord of Death the illusion that everything was getting out of control.

But no, beneath the chaotic surface, the underlying logic is that Barbaros is the home planet of the Death Guard, and the Death Guard has the most powerful violence in the region.

This means that the Death Guard can do whatever they want here, and Motarian is in control of the Legion, which means that Motarian can do whatever he wants.

But Motarian didn't want to act lightly, and Galaspa's atrocities reminded him that he couldn't turn Barbaros into ruins again.

Maybe he should have gone and seen for himself, instead of sitting here and thinking on his own.

Motarian sat pale, Hades had been encouraging the Death Guard cubs to investigate, and perhaps he should have gone to see what was going on.

But Motarian glanced at Hades, who was humming a ditty and sorting out the papers.

Hades is terrible to be able to say the words of power and violence. Another dimension is terrifying.

Thankfully, Hades was a death guard and didn't have much of an eye for Motarian.

Yes, yards
