Warhammer: I don't want to be a stinky can! ! !

Chapter 275. Temptation
For the first time, Hades felt Malcador's kindness.

In the face of a person who didn't understand psychics but believed in the empire, the title of "Master of the Silent Order" that Malcador threw at him was used for the first time.

Malcador, you are not a bad person either!
Hades blinked and said, he wants to communicate with Guilliman alone.

Guilliman of course agreed to the request, which was naturally the case among Lord Macragge's countless backup plans.

Soon, the Ultramarines led the Death Guard who had followed Hades to the side room to wait.

Hades watched the people file away, thinking about what to say next.

First of all, he can't say key words. Hades doesn't want to repeat the act of putting the Death Guard in the ditch with a single word, although this may allow him to stay with the Ultramarines successfully.

Second, he can't persuade him. Without absolute evidence, he can't convince Guilliman completely.

He could indeed walk away, but Hades was afraid that the wound would continue to contaminate the Ultramarines, which was not what Hades wanted to see.

Hades intends to warn Guilliman first, and then go to Absdu to see what is going on. If this planet is really so evil, then he will show Guilliman the specialties of the warp.

Now that everyone was gone, Guilliman sat across from Hades, sweeping away the previous impassioned, with a curious smile, hoping to know the meaning of the representative of the Fourteenth Legion's sudden request for a private conversation.

Hades said slowly and methodically,

"My lord, do you know why I am here?"

Guilliman was silent for a brief moment, Hades knew that the computing power of this supercomputer was already full,
"According to the detection of the empire, the civilization level of this planet is very high, and a legion cannot recover him very well."

Guilliman smiled, as if to relieve the embarrassment that came next,
"But if you mean why you're here, I think it's my brother, still not willing to meet me."

In a way. Right, Hades thought.

But Hades didn't let him think that way!Hades had a serious expression and spoke,
"Lord Guilliman, your conjecture is correct, but it's far more than that—the empire appointed me as the [Master of the Silent Order], and this is exactly the function I will undertake in the cooperation between the two legions."

Guilliman looked slightly surprised,
"Sister Silence will also participate in this recovery?"

During the Great Crusade, if certain special psionic species are encountered, the Sisters of Silence will fight with the Legion.

But what Hades thought was, why would Guilliman equate him with the Sister of Silence!

Hades continued to be serious on the surface,

"If necessary, they will naturally join this recovery. Abs still needs to be evaluated. The empire will not relax its vigilance against psionic species at any time."

Guilliman froze, he was thinking, and then he posed his question cautiously,
"The people here do use psychic powers, but they have sworn not to use them anymore. After I read the truth of the empire, Queen Absidu smashed the largest altar in the kingdom with her own hands, and took her people to take the oath. "

"The army was disbanded, pamphlets promoting the truth of the empire were distributed, and they were indeed actively trying to integrate into the empire."

Hades looked at Guilliman,
"Lord Guilliman, pardon my offense, but... what type of army did they have, the army they disbanded?"

"A small number of companies equipped with heavy vehicles, a large number of light infantry, and an air force that can cover the entire capital."

"So."

Hades said slowly,
"Such an army, does the empire need to send two legions?"

Guilliman's eyes became sharp in an instant. He had indeed thought about this issue, but after many investigations by the Ultramarines, they did not find any other hidden troops, and Queen Abster's explanation for this was——

They are a rebuilt civilization. The previous civilization was lost in the civil strife, but that civilization brought them a relatively stable star field, and Abs was able to continue.

After seeing enough evidence, Guilliman accepted this explanation.

Guilliman opened his mouth, ready to explain to Hades, but Hades spoke first,
"You may not be familiar with psykers. They are good at rhetoric, deceit and concealment. They are probably not their real army at all."

"But we didn't find any other troops," Guilliman said seriously. "The Ultramarines have carefully checked every corner, and there is no other suspicious existence."

"My lord, don't think about the tactics of the psykers with the general combat thinking of the legion. The conditions for their victory are different from ours."

"Wizards don't need the equipment that can be detected, a book, a piece of sacrificial bone, they can explode the maximum combat power."

Hades said slowly,
"Maybe you should let me try to check it. The Death Guards and I are still good at dealing with psykers."

Guilliman nodded. Faced with Hades' well-founded request, he naturally couldn't refuse. After all, Hades' warning was reasonable, and the words of the Lord of the Silent Order really aroused Robert Guilliman's certainty. concerns,

But Guilliman changed his tone again,
"Okay, but I also have my requirements."

"Now is the critical period of peace negotiations. If there is no absolute evidence, you can't take actions that disrupt civilian life, and you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately-this is a civilization with a good attitude. Even if there are a few rebels among them, then It's also a predictable variable."

Guilliman has his own considerations. The Lord of Macragge is clearly aware that his brothers are not very human. Some prejudices will make them do terrible things. He has witnessed the atrocities of the midnight lords. up.

He does not allow his brother to bring unbearable disaster to a civilization because of some vague prejudices and clues.

He accepts and supports reasonable, just behavior, and likewise does not condone brutality.

Hades stood up calmly, saluted,

"Okay, Lord Guilliman, please allow me to discuss further with our legion commander, but before that, please let your army maintain the necessary vigilance."

"In the face of psykers, one cannot be too vigilant."

Then he left, striding out of the resplendent living room.

The dimly lit command room of the Endurance.

Hades gave orders in silence, checking the map sent by the Ultramarines, while Mortarion walked around, swearing from time to time.

"This is a country ruled by psykers! Doesn't Guilliman know what this means?!"

"Calm down, Mortarion, we also need to do another investigation before we can draw a conclusion."

Hades spoke slowly,
"Look at where this civilization is rotten, so that the Death Guard can bestow death on them."

"I've known this planet deserves an extermination order since their cunning peace negotiation!"

"Well, you are a bit too extreme, but we will know later whether this civilization is worth the extreme."

Hades suddenly spoke,
"By the way, Mortarion, if Guilliman negotiates with you later, don't be so extreme, otherwise the Death Guard will not be able to act."

"He doesn't really understand the horrors of psykers, words can't describe them, and he still treats humans as equals with hope."

Hades murmured in a low voice, although this is not bad.

Mortarion let out a mocking laugh,

"I will! If lies can make me chop off the heads of wizards, then I will be better at playing with words than any wizard!"

Hades clapped his hands and looked at the transfer order list, all right,
"Guilliman asked us not to disturb the people there too much, and there is no need for the [-]th company to be exposed in one reconnaissance mission. For this operation, it is enough to bring a part of the [-]th company, a part of the soulless, and me. .”

"I'll go as well."

Hades looked at Mortarion helplessly,
"Then we'll have to trouble Jia Luo and Vox for the temporary legion."

"That was part of their job."
