Hades expertly picked up a fruit from the fruit basket in front of him, and chatted with Abaddon with a relaxed face.

Again, the way Shadowmoon Wolf and Ultramarines entertain their guests is the best!

In addition to the two who were sitting on the sofa blowing water, Abaddon was sitting on one side of Sejanus, who was reading the battle report, and on the other side, Sevita was leaning against the wall uselessly, silently closing her eyes to recuperate.

Although everyone here can be aware of Sevita's vigilance, in fact, at this stage, constant vigilance is a necessity for survival.

Hades had also been opening his black domain at low concentrations, covering the entire room, along with a portion of the long corridor outside.

None of these people have any psionic potential, except for Sevita, but the Raven Prince has been suppressing his psionic powers, so Hades doesn't know if he realizes the difference between Hades and Hades.

"How do you think this battle will be fought, Hades?"

Abaddon spoke casually,

"It's just a hypothesis, if it were you, how would you fight?"

Sejanus looked up from the battle report, glanced at Isokel, and then looked back at the pile of materials.

Hades was about to get another meal of food,

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why, maybe it was because the armor cleaner used by Sevita was not the same model as theirs?

"Well, my words."

Hades casually glanced at the map on the table,

"This civilization is highly unified, and they make good use of all kinds of materials on this planet."

Hades took a bite of the fruit and muttered,

"Burn down their farmland, and their granaries."

"What?"

Abaddon asked, confused,

"The cities are fed by the combined farmland of the two continental plates, and you see, they use a large plain to plant to ensure the supply of basic food rations."

"The information shows that they are about to enter the harvest season, and now their reserves should be at a low level."

Hades said, then circled his hand around the map as the part marked as "agricultural land."

"The protection of farmland is more fragile and difficult to achieve than the protection of key buildings, and the military is not always able to guard against malicious intent from the outside."

Hades continued to gnaw on the fruit,

"It burned all of them, igniting a fire that filled half of the continental plate, and at the same time keeping an eye on their attempts to restore the farmland, sending small forces to harass them."

"Then it's okay, leave a company to guard this planet, they will surrender automatically, if they don't make peace with the empire, and then buy the food they need to survive, they themselves will have to die nine-tenths first."

Abaddon opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

Sejanus spoke,

"If you don't restore the arable land, even if you have reserves, you will quickly deplete them in front of a huge population, which is really a way of thinking."

Hades waved his hand,

"This is the common problem of civilization that unifies the whole planet, there has been no civil war for a long time, and the planning and management of the whole planet is naturally to plant all basic crops on the most fertile and mechanized plains, and only cash crops and seasonal plants are planted near the population centers."

"I don't even think about what will happen if my family's foundation field is burned."

Hades whispered, but it was more incomprehensible, because the large-scale construction of agriculture, mechanization and industrialization, inevitably led to it - very convenient to be destroyed.

The transportation, preservation, plundering, and destruction of survival materials have always been an important part of warfare, and sometimes even more important than guns and bullets themselves.

If it's the army itself, it's okay, the soldiers know how to survive in the case of an urgent shortage of supplies, but if it's a civilian. And even more so in the absence of any future supply recovery

Hades silently swallowed the kernel in his mouth, the nest is fine, this highly developed human civilization, I am afraid that it has not suffered this kind of suffering.

In the case of a shortage of supplies. As long as the empire maintains an attitude of peace at any time, their own noble position will be destroyed by that time.

Hades looked up boredly, and then saw Abaddon staring at him,

"What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking," Abaddon said slowly, "that we can raise the priority of farming later." ”

Hades spreads his hands,

"It's okay, but I think there's a high probability that no one will use this trick, it's a trick that is out of the way, and it's not very useful."

"I'm talking about playing."

Although the complicated look in Abaddon's eyes told Hades that his casual mention was probably taken seriously.

So Hades put away his casual expression and looked back at Abaddon in silence,

"I'm talking about playing."

Hades said word for word.

Without waiting for Abaddon to react, Sejanus's voice rang out,

"Izekel, father is calling us."

Hades blinked, looked away, and he smiled casually,

"Let's get to work, you two, and we'll see you on the battlefield then."

The two moon wolves said goodbye to Hades and Sevita solemnly, and soon, except for the servants, only Motarian's death robes and Coetze's black-armored guards were left in the room.

Hades wasn't quite able to distinguish between the Midnight Lords' armor decorations, and everyone except Sevita wore helmets, which made him unsure if Shang or Shen were among the bats.

Hades thought for a moment,

"Won't you sit down for a while, cousin?"

Sevita opened his eyes, his gaze lingering on the couch for a few seconds, and Hades smiled at him,

"It's the first time for our two legions to work together, so let's get to know each other, and it's convenient to fight together when the time comes."

So Sevita also sat down casually, but he was obviously more cautious than Hades, who had already regarded the Moon Wolf Reception Room as his home,

The closer he got, the stronger the faint discomfort became, and Sevita was expressionless about it.

"Commander of the Death Guard, Hades."

"Midnight Lord, Company Commander, Sevita."

Hades smiled slyly,

"You've been listening, cousin, and if it were you, what would you do with this?"

Sevita paused,

"I just obey orders, I don't create it."

"Well, what if it's the Midnight Lord? I'm just interested in understanding your combat style. ”

Hades looked at the fruit basket, but the conversation with Sevita was still not to talk while eating,

"For example, the Death Guard, if Lord Horus doesn't forbid it, we may use some inhalation weapons, so I'll remind you all to wear helmets and better get a better respirator."

"There are always recruits who don't like to wear helmets."

There was some lightness in Sevita's voice,

"I thought you would like to use phosphating weapons, burning farmland, a great idea."

"Actually, we use phosphating weapons too, you know," Hades lowered his voice, "but under Horus's nose, we're probably going to be banned." ”

"They like to bind themselves by kindness."

Sevita crossed her arms and quipped, "Just tell me this, my cousin?" Aren't you worried that we, too, will be a merciful member? ”

Hades silently pointed to the skewers on Sevita's armor,

"At least the Ultramarines won't like to decorate with them."

They looked at each other for a moment, and then Sevita laughed, and he seemed to remember something funny,

"I'll take my chances, but I'm really impressed by the way you greet you."

Hades glanced at the basket again, and Sevita could see that he really liked it.

It's rare for Sevita to see someone so straightforward, and in the Midnight Lord, this kind of person doesn't live long.

Hades continued,

"It's necessary, and if we don't make it clear before the war, those people will come running halfway through the war and angrily ask us why we're using these weapons."

"My answer to that is, they didn't say it couldn't be used."

Hades's words reminded Sevita of some of the Midnight Lord's previous collaborations with other legions. Their father has been passive in his dealings with other legions, which has forced them to constantly face rebukes from other primitives on the battlefield.

This is the case almost every time.

And this time.

"We don't use weapons that affect friendly forces," Sevita said suddenly.

Hades gave a knowing smile, "So what will you use?" ”

"We use fear."

"Let fear break down the barriers in people's hearts and make them realize that the back of surrender is a bottomless abyss of fear." ”

Hades stared at him as if he knew something, but Sevita didn't read anger or disgust in that look, Hades spoke calmly,

"I probably know why you're not one of the benevolent people."

"But the Death Guards are also merciful, and if you are determined to use your tactics, let us know that the Death Guards may be able to assist or help you."

It was completely, completely unexpected, this kind of relationship between the legions.

He wanted to continue to ask, but he didn't speak, and it was obviously impolite to ask again, and the other side was either a fool to make such a promise, or he really had a say in the legion.

But in addition to this, what shocked him even more was that Hades's promise to the Midnight Lord was too much, and he began to doubt Hades's intentions.

Hades, on the other hand, still had a calm but somewhat indifferent expression, and every few seconds, his gaze shifted to the fruit basket.

He still needed to be tempted, and Sevita smiled, and though the Raven Prince's smile looked eerie, he reached for the fruit in a fruit basket—

Very full, with an alluring color, just like the hypocritical justice of the moon wolves themselves.

"Thank you for your kindness, cousin."

Hades showed an overjoyed smile, and Sevita took it, so he could Hades naturally stretch out his hand and say polite words by the way,

"No, we're all fighting for the Empire—"

Hades's pupils shrank instantly, and in the black domain, a raging flame was rapidly approaching—

He subconsciously got up, picked up the obituary, and compressed the black domain-

"Run—"

No, too fast, too fast!

At the last moment, the figure was almost there, as if it were teleporting,

"Ahem."

Hades coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He looked down tremblingly and saw a power claw passing through his chest, a heart still beating.

[What kind of monster are you?! Stay away from the race!!! 】

A piercing sound exploded from behind his ears, and a sharp pain came from his neck.

Hades' eyes darkened.

In the next second, everyone's eyes instantly went black.

Screams erupt! Coates screamed and threw Sevita away, trying to escape at an alarming speed —

Hades trembled, and used all his strength to make a little light reappear in front of him, no, the black domain can't break out here. He can't.

Hades gritted his teeth and tried to compress the black domain around him, and he could already see Coetze, who was quickly fleeing, raise his gun, fuck, this-

[Hades!!!! 】

Mortarian's voice tore directly through everyone's eardrums, and the next moment, the giant scythe of the Lord of Death tore through the sky and rushed straight towards Conrad Coz—

Horus, who met Abaddon and Sejanus in the reception hall, looked desperate.

It's like yesterday,
