Naturally, the sobs and wails of the Whisperers could not be heard on board the Glory of Maculag.

Killiman glanced back, and the hallway behind him was empty, and there was no one else.

So what did he just feel?

Machado, who was lying beside him, coughed, and the old man took his scepter and slammed it on the ground.

Kiriman tilted his head a little confused, and decided to continue discussing the topic with the Imperial Regent, the incident of the Perfect City was over for Kiliman, they were talking about the War Commander, in fact, since the Battle of Randan, the name of [War Marshal] has been quietly spread within the original body.

Except for those who are bent on staying away from the center of the empire and not caring about their reputation, most of the primordials are knowingly or unintentionally receiving news about the Warlord.

Killiman had had unrealistic fantasies, and not many primordials could resist the meaning behind this reputation.

But under the repeated weighing of reason, Kiliman gave up this idea, although the Ultramarines he led gained enough prestige in the territory of the Empire, although the Ultramarines Five Hundred Worlds are a shining pearl of the Empire, but Kiliman's reputation among the original bodies is not very good-

Moreover, after burning the Perfect City, he probably won't be able to get any further support from other Primals.

Luojia has a good relationship with Magnus and Peturabo, and he also has a common topic with the wolf king Riemanruz.

By far the most contenders for the position of commander are Horus Lupecal, Ferus Manus, and Leon Johnson, all of whom have impressive records and high public prestige in the original body.

Although the archangel St. Giles will also be a suitable candidate for the battle commander in the hearts of the people of the empire, St. Giles is very cold to the battle commander itself, and the relationship between the angel itself within the original body is not very good, and the angel has a heart-to-heart relationship with Horus, while maintaining a relatively cold relationship with the other primordials.

As for Killiman himself, the Lord of Makulag was extremely supportive of Fernus Manus as the commander, and Killiman admired the rigor and majesty of the Lord of Golgon, which was as rational as steel.

It wasn't that Killiman disapproved of the other two candidates, but the Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds could see clearly that the blood of the wolf god Horus had haughty blood in his veins—perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it arrogant;

The lion king Johnson has an unsympathetic indifference and cruelty, and for each brother, the degree of "fear" may be higher in the awe of the lion king.

But who will the position of commander end up with...... Killiman thinks that Horus is more likely to be in the original body, and Horus is clearly on better terms and more respected in the original than the other two.

Machado looked at the original body that was obviously thinking, he ignored the commotion behind him, and silently spoke,

"Risks and crises are always lurking around fame and power, and you can voluntarily give up the fight...... It was really unexpected, Kiliman, but I'm glad to see you make that decision. ”

Kiriman looked at Makado, his blue eyes flashed, after talking to Makado, talking to the emperor, Kiliman's attitude towards the old man softened a lot,

[You don't seem to want to see us become commanders, Machado, isn't that his will, why?] 】

Makado sighed,

"You can only see the shining crown, but you always ignore the sharp blade that hangs from the crown."

"Or rather, you always think you have what it takes to hold that sword."

Kiriman spoke slowly,

[I don't think my brothers would be happy to hear you say that about them.] 】

"Then I apologize, but we are picking the one who is good enough to hold the blade, not one who just thinks it looks better to wear a crown, not a child who thinks that the crown represents the emperor's approval."

Killiman felt his cheeks burn slightly, and the word marshal ...... For them, it does symbolize some kind of recognition, and the recognition of that person is the best.

But he won't show his embarrassment.

[Then I recommend to you Fernus Manus, Machado, he is sensible and efficient enough - although he sometimes makes mistakes, but most of the time, he is always right, the most efficient one. 】

"I'm surprised that you would say such a thing, I have received your suggestion, and I will present it to my lord at the right time."

Machado lowered his eyes, contemplating the complex interpersonal relationships of the primitives.

Kiliman, Fogen, and Vulcan supported Fernus; while Angels, Khan, Perturab, and Dorne supported Horus; The Wolf King and Alpha support the Lion King......

As for the other Primitives, Luojia and Angelon are now preoccupied with themselves, Magnus is not interested in such topics, and Mortarian is paranoid and obsessed with staying away from the circle of the Primitives.

And what exactly is the consideration of the Lord of Mankind...... Machado believed that the monarch had some incomprehensible stubbornness.

[Machado, do you know which battlefield Fernus is on right now? 】

Kiriman asked abruptly, interrupting Macardo's thoughts, if Fernus were now leading a grand campaign and successfully winning the battle, the scales of victory would be more in their favor.

Makado paused,

"Fernus Manus is now preparing to attack a spirit world with Vulcan and Motarian - according to the schedule of the Imperial War Department, they should have reached the target planet."

Motarian?

Killiman suddenly remembered this brother with a unique style, but the next moment he turned around, stared at the still empty corridor, and exclaimed tentatively,

[Hades? 】

Makado smashed his scepter on the ground again, and now Killiman realized what the old man had been doing.

Immediately after, a familiar head of Kiliman appeared in the corner of the corridor behind them, and Hades walked out with an embarrassed smile, followed by the Silent Nun - but why was he so big?

Kiliman pupil earthquake.

Then he saw Hades approaching him—he greeted Kiliman with a weak heart, and Kiliman responded mechanically, and Makado began to reprimand Hades in front of Kiliman, who began to laugh awkwardly at the old man.

Obviously, none of them cared about the three views that Kiliman was impacted.

Perhaps it was a dream, Killiman thought, and he should have realized it the moment the Emperor smiled and spoke to him.

But when he subconsciously grabbed Machado and tried to swing out the scepter to hit someone, Killiman realized that it was not a dream.

Machado's power is greater than he could have imagined.

But...... Great, at least he's not dreaming.

——————————

Finally the two men calmed down, and Kiliman tentatively spoke.

[Hades? Why ......]

"I don't know anything, Makado invited me to dinner and turned me upset, and when I woke up again, I found myself the same person I am now, and the Death Guard can't go back! It's all to blame for Machado, the old man doesn't talk about martial arts! ”

The next moment, the psionic lightning burst out, and Machado forcibly pulled out the scepter that was stopped by Kiriman, and then Kiliman watched as the scepter slashed towards Hades, and Machado's figure was about to appear in an afterimage at that moment-

Hades simply turned and fled, but behind him, the ship's carpet rose up and slammed into Hades' face, followed by Macardo's brandishing scepter, and the huge resentment made his scepter look like the most indestructible club in the universe.

At one point, Kiriman even felt sorry for the scepter, which might not have been meant to be used for violent strikes.

Thinking that the impact was too strong, Killiman automatically fragmented the rest of the clip, he only remembered the golden light, and when he remembered it again, he only saw Hades standing in front of him very stiffly, and next to Hades was Macardo, who was panting and gritting his teeth.

"Sorry, I just wanted to make a joke to liven things up."

Hades said with a single look.

Killeman opened his mouth, boasting that he had seen a lot, but it was rare—less like a political slip-up than a way of being a fox buddy in the traditional literature he had read......

No, fox friends may not be very accurate, they should smell the same.

But Kiliman remembers talking to him about Barbarus, the Hades of the Maculag - professional, hopeful, and humorous, and Kiliman admired the warrior, but Motarian was unhappy with Hades's diplomatic outings.

Looking at Hades, who was secretly struggling with Machado, Killiman decided to turn up the weight of the [Humorous] column to the highest level - no, he should have set up a separate gear.

No, no, no, Kiriman realized that while he was shocked by the current scene, his mind should be focused on why Hades had become the way he was, rather than watching Makado and Hades fight each other in amazement.

In a way, Hades's actions succeeded in transferring Kiliman's shock away from Hades' own existence to Hades's actions.

Killiman briefly organized language in his head, and he realized that if he didn't speak again, he might not have a chance to speak,

Even in the midst of the shock, that part of the Kiliman politician is still functioning, and Hades' language and Machado's response to it tell the original body that the matter itself may not be so serious and highly classified.

Kiliman was allowed to know.

[It's nice to see you here again, Hades, I still want to get to know you again, and those ...... just now?] 】

Killiman smiled.

Machado sighed loudly, the old man glanced at Hades, motioned for him to shut up, and then Machado said,

"Hades is the master of the Silent Ashram, this is a special case, Killiman, if you are confused about this, you can try to analogy with the Praetorian Army, but in essence they are not the same."

"At least the Forbidden Army won't be so ......"

Makado was silent, he seemed to be picking a word with strong attack, but in the end the old man didn't speak, he was not Hades.

Makado's words pulled back Kiliman's sanity, and he seemed to understand, the leader of a necessary anti-psionic department?

Although Hades looks like it's going to be a benchmark...... This was a little difficult for Killiman to accept, but he suddenly remembered Motarian's attitude towards Hades...... Was it already then?

What is the emperor preparing?

But...... If it's Hades...... He has enough ability and intelligence, as well as his unique anti-psionic physique, which Kiriman can understand, and if he were a decision-maker, he would also promote a soulless person with enough power.

[Am I the first to know about this, I mean among my brothers?] 】

Kiliman asked abruptly.

"In a way...... You're the first. ”

Macado said silently,

He was the first, Kiliman thought, and the emperor decided to make him the first, was that a consideration? He thinks Kiliman, as his son, can accept the news?

Killiman was sure that the scene he was seeing before him would have an incredible impact on some of his other brothers, and in a way, some of the Primordials might not be able to accept it.

…… No, Killiman abruptly remembered the image of the Emperor in his eyes before, and if he saw the Primordials as tools, then it seemed that there would be no harm in having more tools.

After all, there was already a Macado, which was not something unacceptable, although most of the Primordials were extremely disgusted with the old man.

Kiriman paused, then he smiled humbly,

[I can understand, and I'm glad to see the Empire supporting capable people, especially Hades, but it looks like we need to get acquainted again.] 】

He stretched out his hand,

[Captain of the Thirteenth Legion Ultramarines, Lord of Macurag, Robert Kiriman.] 】

He was a little amused to see Hades stunned, and then hesitantly glanced at Macardo, the old man was a white eye as usual, and Hades smiled helplessly after receiving the old man's white eyes, and also stretched out his hand.

"Commander of the Death Guard of the Fourteenth Legion, Lord of the Silent Order, Hades."

After letting go of his hand, Kiliman smiled easily,

[So can I invite you to Macurag now, Hades?] You were very inspired by my anti-psionic energy last time, and I would love to know your thoughts and experiences with anti-psionic deployment in real life. 】

He watched Hades's eyes slowly flicker—

Machado, who was beside them, suddenly let out a violent cough, and before Hades could open his mouth, Machado interrupted Hades' words,

"Hades still has the mission entrusted to him by the Empire, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to the Five Hundred Worlds for a while, Kiliman, you're too anxious."

Killiman smiled,

[It's just a joke to liven up the atmosphere.] 】

"I hope it's not a joke."

Hades said in a deep voice,

[Then it is not, you are always welcome in Macurag, Hades.] 】

Killiman caught a glimpse of Machado clutching his scepter again, why did Machado react so much to Hades' trip to Macurag?

"Thank you for the invitation, Killiman, I've always dreamed of going to Macurag to have a look—to see the flashes of human civilization."

Hades smiled rather broadly.

It's just that Machado looks like he's going to hit Hades with a stick again.

Today's 4k words, none, yes!
