When Machado left the inner room, he saw Hades and Sevita talking.

Seeing Machado coming, Hades raised his eyes and smiled at the old man, and the feeling of oppression that enveloped the entire hall and swayed quickly subsided.

Sevita wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by Macado with his eyes, and the old man unhurriedly picked a seat and sat down, looking at Hades and Sevita with his deep eyes.

Hades raised an eyebrow and glanced in the direction of the inner chamber, while Sevita looked uncomfortably at the inner chamber, and Machado ignored the movements of the two and let out a long sigh.

"I underestimated how difficult it was to communicate with them."

Hades blinked, "At least Motarian himself has ill intentions towards you, and if he can sit down and talk calmly, he's already tried." ”

In the face of the Imperial Regent, Sevita was much more restrained, and he looked silently at the old man, the Inquisitor sent by the Empire.

Listening to Hades's words, the old man sighed again, and he remembered Riemanlus, a smart boy, who was at least willing to listen to him.

And Motarian and Conrad Coz ...... They are either giving some ridiculous examples to refute the other side, or they are denouncing Machado.

The position of the regent of the empire is not good, and when Machado stands in this position, he is doomed to discord with most of the primordials, and few of them can truly understand mortals.

Macado steadied his mind, the quarrel between the two primordials was really a headache, he spoke, and put things back on track,

"How did you negotiate about what to do with the Midnight Lord?"

In response to him was Hades' playful gaze, and Sevita's shocked eyes,

Hades said playfully,

"I guess they didn't negotiate anything substantive?"

Hades said as he glanced at the location of the inner chamber again, because of Makado, he put away the black domain, and now he could not observe the movements of the three primitives.

Machado looked at Hades calmly, and the old man suddenly realized that this provocative dry humor had also appeared in Motarian's body, and was used against him by the primordial,

"They are blinded by their own personal feelings, and it is difficult for them to calm down and deal with the affairs of the Legion."

Hades looked at Machado,

"Understandably, for most of the primitives, their emotions are clearly a priority over everything else."

Sevita was silently silent, and in the conversation he had just had, he had realized that the Death Guard Commander didn't look up to the Originals - which was quite rare.

As far as he knew, the space marines similar to the Hades in front of him were probably only Astram of the First Legion.

But because of this attitude, Astrand, that Space Marine did not mix very well in the Legion...... Hades, on the other hand, has become the second-in-command in power in the Death Guard Legion...... He even has the power to correct the mistakes of the original body......

In Hades, Sevita saw another way to keep the Legion running...... But he didn't dare to slip in that direction...... It is unimaginable to rebel against the will of the original.

Hades, on the other hand, saw this as a matter of routine, and in the conversation just now, Sevita could realize that Hades was deliberately leading his way of thinking......

Sevita swallowed and spat if ......

The wound on his chest ached, but a self-deprecating smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Across from him, Hades and Machado had already started talking about something very wrong, but eventually Machado coughed and the conversation changed.

"So do you end up agreeing, or are you the same as your Primordial?"

Sevita spoke hoarsely,

"Midnight Lord...... Willing to accept punishment. ”

Under the hood, a smile appeared on Machado's rather politician-like face,

"At least this meeting was not for nothing."

The old man looked at Sevita with encouraging eyes and motioned for him to continue,

"The Midnight Lord is willing to travel to the most difficult starfields to conquer and exchange his blood for forgiveness......"

Sevita moved her gaze to Hades, and the Death Guard was looking at him indifferently, unable to see a single light in his black pupils, and it was terrifying in the dark,

"The corps accepts the reduction of logistics dispatch resources."

Sevita continued, and he smiled, like a corpse being forcibly broken by hand,

"At the same time, the Midnight Lord is willing to compensate the Death Guard with the Sperm Minerals of the home planet, reaching a long-term agreement."

“…… These punishments will continue until the Legion proves our loyalty to the Empire once again at the mercy of the Legion, at the mercy of the Empire."

Makado was silent, and the old man asked Hades solemnly,

"You brought it all up?"

The inevitable consequence of sending Midnight Lords to areas where the intensity of the war is high and reducing the supply of supplies is that the legion can be rapidly reduced in size in a relatively short period of time.

Machado didn't know what was going on inside the Midnight Lords' legion, and in the old man's opinion, this was already a rather severe punishment.

As long as the first two are enforced, all legions will be able to see what the Midnight Lord has paid for Conrad Coz's madness-

While Makado didn't know why the Death Guard was obsessed with Nostram's Adamantite Mine, Nostram and the Death Guard were far enough away that they could seek resources within their own domain.

And Sevita looked at Hades, did they seem to be facing off?

Sevita didn't know how much Hades knew about the Midnight Lord, and these harsh measures were more like giving the Midnight Lord a chance to shuffle the cards than punishment.

Hades, what the hell are you thinking?

As the Midnight Lord's source planet, Nostram has long since betrayed the Legion, and the corrupt nobles have regained control of the planet, leaving behind those of high moral character for their families, and sending a large number of criminals to the Midnight Lord as the source of the Legion's soldiers.

When those criminals become Midnight Lords, they will use their status as Space Marines to benefit their families on their home planet.

By the time Conrad Coz became aware of this, the Legion was already full of violence and depravity.

Sevita advises Conrad Coz to rid them of the immoral criminals, but the mentally disturbed Primordial rejects him.

So they soberly watched the legion festering little by little......

And now, Hades handed them a knife, a bone scraper that scraped off his own flesh.

This is punishment, because it is bound to bleed, and the Midnight Lords will be despised by the Empire for a long time, and they will watch the legion downsize step by step through every late night when supplies are scarce.

But it's also ...... Something that can make Sevita ...... No, Konrad Coz thoroughly manages the hope of the Legion.

If it were just the first two punishments, Sevita would have thought that Hades might simply want to punish them.

But the third punishment is directed at the Midnight Lord's home planet, Nostram.

If the Legion wants to channel a large amount of Adamantite to the Death Guard, it must regain control of the home planet......

Even...... The time that Hades proposes to punish is about the same as the time it takes to remove the carrion from the Legion......

Sevita felt her brain tremble,

What does this death guard, Hades, know? Why did he know the Midnight Lord so well? Or was it just a coincidence of his hesses?

And if everything is as Sevita thinks, then why did this death guard, who was wounded by his father, help them?

Hades, what the hell is he ...... What the hell was he thinking?!

Sevita couldn't figure it out, the only thing he couldn't understand was Hades' position and position, all he could do was think about how to keep the Midnight Lord when Hades proposed every punishment.

He didn't know exactly what Hades was doing, he could only judge that Hades' malice towards him was not so obvious.

Perhaps he had been staring at Hades for too long, and Hades smiled at him naturally, a smile that was obviously much more natural than Vita's...... Sevita rarely saw such a smile in the Legion, as most of the skilled veterans were uninhibited.

Hades smiled and didn't look at Sevita again, he turned his head to look at Macado and spoke,

"Is this punishment allowed on the Empire's side?"

Makado paused,

"If both legions agree, then the Empire will recognize the legitimacy of the agreement."

But...... Why did the Midnight Lord agree to such a cruel punishment without even a slighten struggle?

Makado frowned and asked Hades with his eyes, but Hades still had that happy expression of "I don't know anything".

"Trust me, Makado-sama."

Hades said briskly, his pupils bottomless.

Hades smiled, in the eyes of outsiders who didn't know the inside story of the Midnight Lords' legion, this would be a rather harsh punishment imposed by the Empire on the Midnight Lords, as a punishment for Conrad Coz's swords against his brother without permission.

The legion will be rapidly downsized until the stipulated time limit is reached.

On the side of Sevita and Konrad Coz (assuming he's conscious), this was a chance for them to re-wash the Legion, but the process was accompanied by a lot of blood and pain.

As if fearing that they wouldn't be able to think crookedly, Hades proposed a third rule.

The Midnight Lord can use war and shrinkage as an excuse to consume the scum warriors, while also gaining more territory for the Empire.

By the time limit, the Midnight Lords can gradually regain the size of their legions, and in a future where the home planet is reassessed, the legions will obviously become healthy.

But if that's all he thinks of Hades, then he's probably too kind—

Hades wouldn't be this kind of person, and in a situation where the Death Guard and the Midnight Lord were at odds with each other, the first thing he had to make sure was that the future Midnight Lord would not threaten the Death Guard.

Hades' chess game is not finished yet.

His final step was hidden in the time of the punishment, and when the scarred bats were about to complete their atonement and be reborn, they would find out—

The Great Rebellion began.

Assuming of course, that the Great Rebellion had started around that time, but even if it had been delayed, the Midnight Lords would not have recovered their legions so quickly.

At that time, the Midnight Lords will be the weakest of the Great Rebellion forces, and even if they rebel, they will not pose a threat.

Hades didn't leave them a way out, if the Midnight Lord really repented, they could have retracted to their home planet Nostram, which was out of the way anyway.

Hades smiled, revealing his kind smile.

"I'm glad that my conversation with Sevita went smoothly and that my cousin understood my kindness."

All right!

There may still be, but don't wait, your hands hurt.

The big group exploded, and I'll build a group with 500 fans tomorrow, so I won't cut it today.

At present, there is still a general book friend all-subscription group.

On why did the big crowd blow up...... I hope everyone is cautious in what they say and do, and why are a bunch of people who haven't read my book mixed in and posted their own things? This kind of can go to other specialized warhammer groups.
