44. Go to Maculag first!
"And a private room?"
Hades said with interest, leading his Buz with a smile as they walked through the holographic camouflage barrier.
Behind the multiple barriers, there is a space that is obviously slightly more ornately decorated, with scarlet velvet sofas on either side, of which the original-sized sofa seems to have been temporarily placed in, and the light emits a faint soft light, and a strange painting hangs under the gap between the two sofas.
On the coffee table in front of the sofa, desserts and wine glasses are placed at the moment.
Hades sat down and poked at the Death Guard doll on the original couch - he had brought it with him.
Bouz also sat down and smiled,
"Hades are not as stubborn as the Death Guards, and a lot of cooperation is what we are talking about, planetary governors, forged generals, forbidden armies...... You can't take them to talk to a place that is too simple, and the atmosphere inside Hades is similar to that of the Death Guards already makes them restless. ”
Hades' eyes glanced at the blackstone equipment around the room, and he could be sure that there was an anti-subspace force field here.
"Reasonable expenses are better than wasting resources and enduring hardships."
Hades said, "Shall I enhance the anti-psionic energy of this space again?" ”
"Please."
Booz said that Hades saw Booz's eyes light up,
"I haven't seen your underworld."
Hades unleashed the Black Domain, and now his Black Domain can leave a void, and the Black Domain envelops this space,
“…… 2B, reach out. ”
Buzz held out his hand suspiciously, and Hades shrouded the diluted black domain,
"How?"
Seeing that Buzz's face deteriorated, Hades retracted the black domain,
Buzz shook his head with a complicated expression, and nodded again,
"Much like Callas's predecessors," Buz said word for word, "tired, weak, and...... Intense vomiting sensation. ”
Hades smiled,
"That's the case with low concentrations," he said, looking at the coffee table, where the baklava looked good, and Hades picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Medium concentrations are unconscious fainting, and high concentrations are soul devouring – but physical bodily functions are maintained for a short time and enter complete death over time."
Hades said that Hades and him need to run in with each other, and for Hades, Hades is almost 100% of the army under his command after he wakes up.
…… Of course, Hades knew that the Underworld were guarding him as well - he also needed the Underworld to remind him that he was not in the right state, instead of happily waaagh with him!
Booz raised his glass, and Hades knew he was already clear,
"My father, have a drink?"
"This is the secret recipe that the Death Guard taught the Warband, and it is said that Kalas Typhon replicated the Pale Lord's poisoned wine—albeit much less toxic. ”
Hades picked up the wine glass, and his face was embarrassed,
When did Motarian make that thing for entertaining guests? Do these Space Marines really like to drink this kind of stuff?
Hades pinched his nose and poured this wine, and in his memory, Motarian could "appreciate" the strange things he made.
“…… Do you like to drink this? ”
"Normally," Buzz said smoothly, "it's actually a nuisance—but without this specialty, how do the visitors realize they're in the Sons of Hades of the Death Guard?" ”
The smile on the corner of Hades' mouth twitched,
"Ahem," he said, "it was because there was nothing on Barbarus, and Motarian searched for a bunch of things that could not be eaten on Barbarus, and put them together. ”
"As for why you don't use sake that you can eat, because you can't waste food."
Hades said with a lot of emotion, he took a sip as he spoke, the familiar taste, the indescribable feeling of shocking the soul, this scheme should have been improved countless times - improved to the point that mortals could barely faint after drinking it.
Hades picked up a piece of chestnut cake and decided to suppress the indescribable taste in his mouth,
"I strongly advised him not to waste food," Hades said with a complicated expression, and the Bouz in front of him had a mysterious expression,
"The predecessors of the Death Guard told us that this is a symbol of the Pale Lord's reward for meritorious people, a symbol of tenacity, and a symbol of sharing weal and woe."
"This is later, I suspect his taste buds have mutated," Hades took another sip, feeling the torture of Motarian on his tongue 10,000 years later, "at first he simply wanted to find something to drink, you know, in Barbaros at the time, this kind of thing ......"
Hades shook the glass, there were no suspicious beetle fragments and spider legs in the glass, and he breathed a sigh of relief,
"It's precious."
Bouz drained his glass in one gulp, sat down on the red velvet sofa, and asked tentatively,
"Looks like we've misused the Lord of Death's wine?"
Hades sighed,
"His recipe for wine, you can drink it as you want, such a bad thing has not been extinct for 10,000 years...... And you have a lot to do. ”
"A lot of existence has not died after 10,000 years."
Bouz pointed at it, and he filled his glass again, and the unpleasant smell came out,
"At least I still have to do my job - do I have to communicate with the Death Guard, Faos, and the Underworld?"
Hades asked suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the dueling cage that was dueling,
"Most of it," Bouz said, "but I don't think Oss is very clear about the current state of the Empire. ”
Hades saw a beautiful over-the-shoulder fall, and he picked up a cream pie with relish,
“…… It can be seen that most of what Kirkland just talked to me about technology and the world of foundry, and he was very restrained about the current state of the empire. ”
"I thought he was going to be a fanatic who would ask you for everything."
Booz teased, and he also took a few pieces of pastry,
"He always looked like a war madman in front of me."
Hardston paused,
"After all, he lived 10,000 years," he said, "and he ...... now It's not so much Kirkland, it's more about the merging of Kirkland's personality with the Faosnirvana system. ”
Hades muttered,
"I don't even know if the Kirkland I knew at the time was alive or dead."
But Hades looked relieved again,
"It's good that he's happy on his own."
Kirkland did seem to be happy and full of life, and most people he had seen than Hades had ever seen lived with purpose.
"He's definitely happy," said Bouz quietly, "to be remembered by the Immortal for 10,000 years—you don't have to worry about that." ”
“……”
Hades thinks Booz is right, but the reward is that he is remembered by Hades, and what Hades thinks is weird.
Is this what it's like to be an idol?
Hades suddenly thought of him, he remembered Neos back then...... He somewhat understood Neos's mentality that he had always wanted to avoid Luojia.
But Hades is not an emperor, he will face it bravely!
Face – hundreds of millions of believers!
Hades silently covered his face in his heart.
He may also understand how unsophisticated Motarian dresses himself...... Maybe it's because of the sloppiness.
Hades sighed again, the desserts in front of him didn't look fragrant,
"Let's skip the personal question of Kirkland for now......"
Hades said, "How much does the empire know now? How did you know I was here—did you receive a message from Tiens Barry and Imperial Citizen Tis? ”
"Don't worry, Hades has settled Tiens and Ties."
Buzz continued, "We've locked the news so tightly that none of the other empires except the Death Guards are aware of the current situation. ”
"As for how we found you, Lord Motarian sensed you and informed the Death Guard, who then outsourced it to us."
Booz spread his hands helplessly,
"Then I was shaken up and worked."
"It's not easy for you, either."
Hades toast, Booz toast, cheers.
Bouz also sighed deeply,
"It's better to be in your hometown of Maculag."
Hades sighed, "I want to go back to Barbaros now...... I don't know how Barbaros is now. ”
"Barbaros will welcome you, and so will Macurag."
"But I'd advise you to go to Macurag now." ”
"How?"
"The main force of the Death Guard is now in the subspace," Buzz said, taking a snack and chatting as the Hades almost cleared the table,
"You're back in the Storm Star Domain now—there's a high probability that you won't be able to get strong help, and you need military power now."
"......," Hades said silently, "it seems that Motarian has finally let go of his prejudices against Ultramarines. ”
According to Buzz, he was sure that the Ultramarines would help Hades - it was certainly not based on the help of the Underworld, otherwise why didn't Booz just let Hades go to Terra?
First of all, it is necessary to take military power.
After taking the military power, enter the ——!
Ahem.
And why the Ultramarines are willing to help Hades, Hades can probably guess......
"Ultramarines and Terra have always been at odds?"
"It should be the Death Guards who are friendly with the Ultramarines," Buz said smoothly, "but after Master Killiman's departure, the Thirteenth Legion really didn't want to have too much entanglement with the Sun Domain. ”
The wine glass in Hades' hand was slammed, and his voice was suppressed,
"Is Robert Killeman still alive?"
"The Ultramarines claim that their genetic father is dead,"
"But the real truth...... Only Lord Motarian knows. ”
"Motarian? Isn't it clear to the Death Guard either? ”
Hades asked, staring at the smiling macurag crepes on the coffee table.
Booz shook his head,
"The matter of the original body...... Perhaps only the primitives know. ”
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and only the noise of the underworld outside the room faintly came in.
"That's not dead."
Hades said firmly, figuring out the glass in his hand, and he remembered the potion that Motarian had given him back then—but unfortunately the tube seemed to have been taken by Tarasin later, and Killiman probably fell into suspended animation, or simply went to his own happy life.
Hades once again remembered what had happened before Killiman's "suspended animation...... High Lords...... Tara......
Although Hades did not want to believe the stupidity of the High Lords, if he wanted to go to Terra, then he must have an army at his disposal that could threaten Terra's position.
Terra, Hades is a must-go.
Anyway, he'd go and see Neos.
"What do you think of the Ultramarines?"
Booz smiled confidently,
"My father, I am a native of Maculag, and I had a good relationship with them when I was in power...... Ultramarines welcome the sons of Hades. ”
Hades waved his hand,
"There's no one else here," Hades said, "2...... Bouz, maybe you could be more blunt, older people may sometimes not be able to keep up with your train of thought. ”
He could have deduced what Booz was thinking, but Hades decided it was easier for both of them – and he couldn't deny Booz outright.
Buz coughed twice in embarrassment, and Hades looked at Buzz, but Hades looked as usual, and he was indeed a political creature.
"I approved the autonomy and independence of the Ultramarines Five Hundred Worlds, as well as the Death Guards - except for Callas...... A combat veteran who doesn't miss the old love, the Ultramarines owe me a big favor. ”
"After that, the Death Guard and Lord Motarian have also helped the Ultramarines to a greater or lesser extent."
"What's more," Bouz emphasized, "the Ultramarines are still extremely unhappy with Terra - in the millennium, Terra's rule has once again become corrupt. ”
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't it?
Hades mused,
"I don't know what Terra's attitude is towards me, what if the people of Terra welcome me? There won't be an opinion on the Ultramarines' side? ”
Booz paused for a moment, after which he said with some caution,
"You...... Probably overestimating the High Lords," Buz said, "and the Ultramarines are not unreasonable, and their current warband leader, Marius Calga, is a benevolent man who is not driven by hatred. ”
"You're saying they're willing to help me?"
"They're going to be happy."
Bouz continued, dipping a little of the liquor and drawing a line on the table,
First the Five Hundred Worlds in the upper right, then the Faos in the middle, and finally the World Eater in the lower left corner.
"The five hundred worlds in the Limit Territory are close to Faos at the same time, and we can also go to Faos to replenish our forces, followed by the World Eater's home planet near Faos, although the World Eater's forces are not near Nukeria, but there is also a garrison there."
"In the case that you can't travel through subspace, this is the fastest route to get a large number of troops."
Hades was clearly thinking as well, and he looked at Booz's plan with interest,
"Kirkland did talk to me about it, and I'm currently only able to travel by measuring bullets - thankfully there's a soon-to-be-completed projectile on the nearby starfield."
The longer the range, the lower the accuracy.
After the probability calculation, Hades should take the two closest amount of bullets as far as possible,
On the route mentioned by Bouz, the Ultramarines, Faos, and the World Eaters are all forces that are equipped with measuring bullets and bows, and they are the forces that have a high probability of unconditionally supporting Hades.
"Wait," said Hades, "the main force of the World Eaters is not in Nusaria, so where is it?" ”
"Barr."
Bouz said he put down his glass, and "the remaining sons of the archangels were incorporated into the World Eaters, who were permanently stationed near Baal...... Repression. ”
“…… Suppression of the archangels? ”
Booz nodded,
"While there has never been a movement on the Barr, the World Eaters never leave easily - it should be a direct order from their original body."
"I don't know—but I suspect that Master Killiman, who ended up with Master Angron, would know what was going on. ”
…… There was an anomaly in St. Giles, and Angelon personally suppressed it, and only the regent of the empire knew the details of the matter, and Killiman faked his death - if you want to find Killiman, you have to find Motarian.
Hades whispered,
"St. Giles...... Anglon... Killiman...... Mota ......"
It's connected!
As if knowing what Hades was thinking, Booz spoke,
"You don't have to worry, according to my understanding of the Death Guard...... If Lord Motarian is out of trouble, he will come to you personally as soon as possible. ”
Hades pondered for a moment, really.
It's like if he woke up and first went to find the Death Guard and Mortarian to ventilate, Mortarian must have to come and talk to him as well.
The wine in the glass bubbles,
"From Kirkland, I have a general idea of what is going on in St. Gilles."
Hades took another sip of wine, which was an insult to the pastry with this pastry.
"Eaten by Faith...... Because of the legend of the Black Angel and the Golden Angel in Baal, St. Giles himself did not exhibit anything unusual before the Ascension Day. ”
"But after Ascension, it's St. Giles dominated by the Black Angels?"
Bouz nodded,
"The archangel also took on a part of the state religion impurities, either actively or passively, to ensure the purity of the human lord - after that, the impurities were handled by the Hades Sect."
Active......
Hades nodded thoughtfully,
"Give me good...... I'm at least less likely to lose control. ”
Buz stared at Hades and sat up straight,
"Father," he said solemnly, "how are you now?" ”
Hades picked up something similar to a Boston pie to eat,
"So-so," Hades said, "I'm going to rely on the burner for my energy for the time being." ”
He took the little star around his waist and showed it to Bouz,
"To put it simply, I need a huge amount of energy to drive my star god part - if I drive it rashly, I may lose control."
"Don't worry about this part for the time being, I'll leave it to Kirkland to deal with, solve my energy intake problem first, and the probability of me getting out of control is not very high."
Hades sent the plan he had discussed with Kirkland to Buzz, who blinked, and said,
"The ascension path of the physical world?"
Bouz asked meaningfully, and Hades smiled,
"You tell me...... Did Motarian also behave strangely in the later period? ”
"Yes."
"To be expected," Hades said, "...... individuals gain power easily, but they will always be repulsed......"
Now almost everyone is reminding Hades that Motarian is becoming more and more abstract now, and Hades is curious about how far Motarian can be abstracted.
But it seems that if he rushes for time, he can't go to Barbaros first,
Now Hades's idea is to go to the Extreme Star Field, get the help of two legions, accumulate enough troops, and after releasing the momentum, go directly to Terra!
In the meantime, he needs to wait for the Death Guard to come and find him.
The focus of his thinking was actually on Terra, and Hades decided that he needed to see the Lord of Humanity first—given his appearance, the Emperor couldn't give him his dreams directly.
And to see if the current human empire needs to descend from the sky.
Hades has a non-discriminatory attitude, and if the human empire is thriving, he will most likely directly find a local farmhouse.
But it looks ...... Even if it's just Tyranny, the Empire of Humanity will face a catastrophe.
"So let's stop in Octarius for a while, and then go to Macurag?"
Hades blinked, staring at the coffee table filled with macurag-style or other world-style pastries.
There was no Barbarus pastry in it, because Barbaros had no snacks at all, except for the glass of wine in his hand.
