276. That Blue Man + Interlude Video Game
Hades decided to put Ultramarines at the top of the list of "legions that Hades wants to work with."
Not only Robert Killiman, but most of the extreme warriors are full of a strong [normal person] atmosphere, they can interact and communicate normally, and there will be no inexplicable bottom line and emotional flashpoint.
And you can say whatever you need to say, there will be no sudden silence, and you don't need Hades to ask step by step, for fear of missing any key information.
And they will help you as much as they can.
For example, now, Hades has silently copied several copies of the daily report formats of the Ultramarines, and has also taken a lot of books written by Killiman.
I have to say that Killiman wrote a lot of books, and when dealing with the Ultramarines, they would quote more or less from Killiman's books.
This gave Hades a more intuitive impression of the blue sons and grandsons who liked to quote the holy scriptures in the original book.
But that didn't stop him from continuing to frantically copy materials in the Ultramarine's data room.
On the other side, Killeman was checking the materials given by Hades, and the bright and bright library exuded the fragrance of books and knowledge.
[A breathtaking masterpiece. γ
Killeman looked at Barbarus's three-dimensional map again and again, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Building a world of the dead into a semi-pivotal world that now engulfs nearby star fleets is an unimaginable idea and an unattainable feat.
In fact, in Killiman's heart, there has always been a slight regret, his brothers are all good, but when it comes to building their home planet, they seem to uphold a different philosophy than Killiman.
Few people even pay attention to post-war construction, Horus is only trying to gain more prestige for himself, Dorne is paranoid about the building itself, and Peturabo has extreme tendencies, which others don't even care about.
But now, in a legion far from the Ultramarine's style, Killeman sees the possibility that is glittering, someone with a similar philosophy to himβ
[Hades, in the Death Guard Legion, who proposed the transformation of the Barbaros plan and was ultimately responsible for its implementation?] γ
Killiman eagerly awaited an answer, but he seemed to have the warrior in mind.
"Ah," Hades replied nonchalantly, looking up at the Ultramarine's bookshelf, which copies he was trying to take, "it's me." β
For a moment, Hades felt a chill run through his back, and he jerked back to see a huge blue man behind him.
Hades was so frightened that he almost slammed his blaster into Killiman's face.
He swore that Killiman had teleported over now, without a sound, in an instant! It's like he came out of nowhere!
Hades barely squeezed out a smile and said with a trembling voice,
"Master Killiman?"
The blue man showed the brightest smile Hades had ever seen,
[Hades, commander of the Death Guard, I think you can draw the range of information you are looking for, and the Ultramarines will help you find them.] γ
[But now, I want to ask you some questions, about Barbarus, about you.] γ
Hades wiped his sweat silently, scaring him to death, and he thought that Killiman was going to ask some earth-shattering question.
"Yes, of course."
ββββββββββ
I believe that war is not the goal, but development and the ultimate life of mankind. So since the clan has strength and idleness, then it is possible to choose an area for development. β
Killiman smiled and nodded,
[Yes, everything now is for the ultimate peace, after the end of the Great Expedition, the legions of their own war can devote themselves to the construction of mankind, and high-quality space marines can take on the role of guiding human civilization. γ
Immersed in a bright future, Killiman didn't realize the peculiar color that flashed in Hades' eyes after he said this.
Hades smiled,
"With the cohesion and appeal of the Legion, we can achieve many miracles that are simply not possible in the eyes of others, and the Legion is an instrument whose function is much more than war."
[Forgive my curiosity, Hades, I think you will be the one who seriously thinks about the future, so in your thinking, where will the Death Guard go after the Great Expedition? γ
Hades is in the face of inner pain, no, there will be no such possibility.
In the galaxy, there is only war.
"Perhaps you can ask our Legion Commander, Lord Motarian, that I am not the right person to answer this question."
Hades snorted, and Killiman also realized Hades's reluctance to answer, and under the common tacit understanding, the two quickly changed topics.
They talked about how to deal with those mortal bureaucrats, and the oppressive sense of the Legion made how they treated mortals a separate art.
They talked about how to negotiate peace, how to fool the Empire's tax authorities, how to avoid taxes reasonably, and how to make the Legion's logistical lines more concealed and reasonable.
They talk about how to deal with mechanism, and if you're going to build and grow, you can never avoid mechanism.
Hades marvels at how the original charm's aura can also be used on the oilman, while Killiman is amazed that Hades knows so much mechanical slang and slang.
[I remember, the heir of my foundry department once mentioned you.] γ
Killiman said suddenly,
[Your signature is "H", isn't it?] Quite innovative and shared. γ
Hades waved his hand, saying that the first people to go to Mars should return.
"The Martian study life is boring, it's just a pleasure for myself, there's nothing to mention."
But Killeman didn't think so, and he looked thoughtfully at Hades, such a talented person.
But he is the commander of the Death Guard, and people in this position, the legion generally won't let them go out to study diplomacy.
So Killeman began to bring the conversation to Macurag.
He first subtly asked about the view of Barbarus, and Hades described to him a picture of plain farmland, empty and rich earth, with corn stalks rustling in the wind.
[It reminds me of the outskirts of Maculag.] γ
Lush forests, towering old castles in the forest, noisy downtown areas, blue skies, white streets.
If you wish to know and get in touch with the real and complete administration, then you should go to Maculag once, and she will not let you down. γ
γAlthough Maculag lacks mineral resources. γ
Killiman began to subconsciously replenish Maculag's information, but Hades in front of him was almost golden.
No, Hades thought, no!
Maculag is in the Extreme Star Field, and the distance from them is simply 108,000 miles away, and in the future, the route of the Death Guard will not deviate there.
If he were to go to Maculag and try to keep up with the Death Guard in a spaceship, it would be difficult.
But that picture of the quiet years
Hades took a deep breath,
"Thank you for the invitation, if the fighting subsides, I will visit Maculag, which is indeed a shining pearl of human civilization."
He eventually refused, and Hades' heart was bleeding.
Mixing in Makurag as a casting sergeant, it seems to be a good option for retirement, only to worry about the battle of Cowes later.
Seeing Hades' refusal, Killiman stopped mentioning it, but he already remembered this death guard in his heart, just as he remembered Dantiok of the Iron Warrior.
As long as he can
Next, Killeman and Hades had an in-depth exchange on the topic of star field construction, and the two sides fully exchanged views, and the conversation made a major constructive breakthrough.
Until the end, Killiman was trying to keep the Death Guard with the Ultramarines for a while.
Without exception, they were all politely rejected, although Killiman also saw Hades' pain and struggle.

Interlude [Video game, but live fighting]
(Slightly strengthened Motarian.) οΌ
As we all know, Killiman has a game console that can fight virtually, and today, he invited Motarian to come over and make a few moves.
Originally, Motarian would have scoffed at this kind of game and laughed at it loudly, but because Hades wanted to have fun, no, and wanted to watch the original body fight, he made a deal with Killiman.
"Motarian, I lost a bet with Killiman, I have to go to Macurag for a few years and study with the Ultramarines."
In a heavy tone, Hades regretfully informed Motarian of the good news, no, bad news.
By the way, a few words were added, and a simple arch fire was carried out.
Joke, can't he Hades see Gilliman's mind.
Of course, Motarian carried a scythe and went to beat Killiman.
Killiman's request for this is that he play three games with him, win two out of three, and if Motarian wins, then he is willing to withdraw his bet on Hades.
So now, Motarian wears a giant stupid hat and lies in the mock chamber with a murderous expression.
[Killiman vs Motarian, Commentator: Hades]
[Okay, the first one begins! ] We see that both Primitives clearly want to be in melee combat first! Killiman and Motarian both gave up their troops and rushed towards each other directly with their knives! γ
[Killiman is menacing! The Short Sword of Sincerity and the Hand of Domination are in a frenzy! And Motarian is passively resisting, is Motarian going to lose in the first game-]
[Nope! It's no secret that Motarian is a defensive latecomer, and the longer he fights, the more obvious his advantage becomes! After Motarian deliberately stretched out his length, Killiman was already starting to get a little tired! γ
Killiman took a deep breath, and although Motarian's eyes were full of anger, he was restrained and never took the initiative to attack, and the Lord of Death would only launch a counterattack in the gap after Killiman's move.
He's even deliberately exchanging injuries for injuries!
Killiman's eyes flashed as he counted Motarian's every move.
γGood!γ As we can see, when the time of the battle with Motarian reaches a certain value, Robert Killyman activates his passive ability "Observation", in which Killiman will actively learn to analyze the enemy's information and give answers to the enemy's play. γ
[Not good! Killiman seems to have seen through Mortarian's tactics, Killiman's offense is getting more and more fierce, and Killiman has also begun to exchange injuries for injuries, he wants a quick victory! γ
[Could it be that Motarian is going to lose the first game? In the later confrontation with the command legion, can the Lord of Death win against Killiman, who is known for his "command"? γ
[Looking at the health bars of both sides, Killiman now has a quarter of his blood left, and Motarian - Motarian has a little blood left!] γ
[Killiman also realized!] Ignoring the scythe silence that Motarian rushed over, he swung the decisive sword directly at Motarian-]
γohhhhhhοΌ Motarian, Motarian reveals the second blood bar! γ
[Killiman makes a confused sound, but Motarian doesn't give him time to react!] Mortarian triggered his passive "Residual Blood", and every time he lost a little blood, Mortarian's defense value, attack value, and critical strike chance increased a little! γ
Underneath the mask, Motarian sneered, Killiman did not dodge his scythe, and the Lord of Death successfully tore through Killiman's defenses with the scythe, and then he held Killiman and poured some of his home-brewed poison into his mouth.
[Killiman is in a state of poisoning! Killiman is bloody! The last bit of Killiman's blood is gone! The first winner, Motarian!! γ
Mortarian laughed in satisfaction, and helped Killiman, who was lying on the ground, to his feet.
Killiman had a puzzled expression, but he seemed to understand Motarian's characteristics, and for the second, Killeman motioned for the second one.
[The second session begins! After the first beating, Killiman chose to call in the Ultramarines! He had to compete with Motarian for his command and dispatch skills. γ
[Killiman triggers the passive "Master of Marching Dispatch", compared to other legions, when Killiman is present, the Ultramarine's combat power is +15%, unity +100%, recovery +15%, and number +20%!] γ
[This is such a buggy skill!] γ
[On the other side, Motarian's Death Guard is slightly inferior.] γ
After some time, Motarion's position was surrounded by the Ultramarines, and at the same time, the passive [Observation] was triggered, and Killiman commanded the Ultramarines to tear through the defenses of the Death Guards little by little.
Worthy of Killiman!
And Motarian is not a vegetarian, and with the Death Guard's insistence, the Ultramarines are also being consumed rapidly
Finally, Killiman stood in front of Mortarian again, and this time, the bodies of countless Space Marines were nearby by the two primordials.
Killiman is half-blooded, while Motarian reveals the last half-blood after being knocked out of six half-bloods.
Based on the analysis, Killiman concluded that it was impossible for the crumbling Motarian to show another blood.
[Killiman swung the sword of Akagi again and rushed forward! And Motarian fought back with his heavy scythe! γ
[After studying and analyzing Motarian's personal behavior before, Killiman's battle this time has become a lot smoother!] He gave up the wide opening and closing in favor of speed and thrusts! γ
[Due to the difference in the length of their weapons and the effective attack range, Killiman has been close to Motarian, and Motarian has to grapple with him with a scythe, while trying to distance the two sides as much as possible. γ
[But Killiman didn't give him this chance!] He's attacking like crazy! Mortarian's health bar is in jeopardy-]
γohhhhhhοΌ Motarian triggers the passive "Lock Blood"! You'll never reach the truth of the last seven drops of blood! Except for fatal injuries such as decapitation and heart-digging, the rest of the damage does not cause true damage to the Lord of Death! γ
Killiman looked at Motarian in disbelief, who was already quite broken, like a scarecrow in the wind, as if he would fall apart in the next moment.
This gives Killiman the illusion that even if he doesn't attack, Mortarian will fall apart directly under the force of gravity -
But what is called non-fatal injuries does not cause harm!
[Killiman begins to try to change his strategy, but apparently, Motarian will not give Killiman any more time to find a countermeasure!] Taking advantage of the fatigue of Killiman's long battle, the Lord of Death began to attack! γ
[In the second round, Motarian wins!] γ
Killiman sat up abruptly from the virtual chamber, and he turned his head to look at Motarian in horror with an indescribable expression.
Motarian got up unhurriedly, and then took off the silly hat for the first time.
"You've failed, my brother."
Motarian said blandly, and then he got up without a hint of nostalgia and left the Macurag Glory with his commander.
All right! Today, there are 7.5k words!
3/14 owed
The final interlude slightly strengthened Motarian, and according to common sense, the third game, and even the countless games that followed, would have been won by Killiman.
