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

Every bullet fired from a weapon he designed will carry his painstaking effort.

Even if a person keeps killing people day after day, the number of kills can only be counted in units.

But if it's a luminous spear...

Hades knew that, as a technical sergeant, he would maximize his abilities in a higher sense.

This is no longer based on practical considerations, but rather on the pursuit of personal ideals.

and so--

Yes, based on my personal abilities and desire, I would very much like to become a technical sergeant.

Balasin smiled.

[Okay, I will explain your wishes to the foundry department.]

[but]

Balasin then changed the subject.

[To become a technical sergeant, one needs to spend at least thirty years studying on Mars.]

[A transport fleet from Mars has recently arrived; you can leave with them in two months.]

[This might cause you to miss part of the Death Guard's break-in period.]

[However, if you wish to stay, you can wait for the next Mars mission.]

But Hades' mind was not on what Barasin said next at all—

火星

In other words, he can go and see Terra now?

No, it should be Earth.

Hades felt a dull ache in his heart. As an Earthling who had been inexplicably thrown into a strange and cruel place, whenever he was about to give up and cried like a baby, that blue planet, that homeland of his dreams, would always echo in his mind.

Of course he wants to go. He wants to see the Earth.

In fact, even now Hades doesn't understand whether he traveled through the world or through time.

If I take a look at Terra, maybe I'll understand?

This was also one of the few remaining personal feelings he had left.

but

Hades suddenly realized something else.

[Would it take at least thirty Terran years to get to Mars?]

[Yes. ]

Balasin stared at Hades in bewilderment.

Will Mortarion let him pass?

It seems I need to have a serious talk with Mortarian.

As for whether to go to Mars now, Hades' inclination is to go now.

Missing the training period didn't bother him; what he really didn't want to miss was the Death Guard's first battle.

Galaspa.

This battle was a turning point for both the Deathguard and Mortarion.

Hades didn't want to miss out.

I hope to leave soon, without waiting.

[good. ]

Balasin nodded.

[besides.]

Balasin's expression turned serious again.

[Between Callas and Vox, which would you recommend?]

? !

So you're starting to ask for his opinion?

Hades was startled, then spoke without hesitation; to hesitate even a second longer would be a dereliction of duty.

[Vox.]

Even though Carrastiphon has not betrayed us, he remains loyal and has his own insights and personality.

But for Hades, he was a landmine, ready to explode at any moment.

Hades must take precautions to minimize his losses.

Barasin looked at Hades, Vox?

It seems the replacement for the first company commander has been decided.

He had originally chosen Karas, but after the Duel Cage Psionic Incident, Barasin became uncertain again.

Although Karas had a good relationship with the Primarch, his personality and actions did not make it easy for Barathen to entrust him with this position.

While Vox may not be familiar with the Primarch, his abilities, as well as his strategic thinking and control, might be a better fit for Barathen's choice.

But in truth, Balasin sighed silently in his heart; this position should have belonged to Hades.

However, since both sides have already reached an agreement, it seems there's no need for me to say anything more.

At the end of the meeting, Barasin addressed Hades,

[Fernando, the chief think tank member, recently asked me to meet with you; you'd better go and see him.]

He probably wants to apologize to you.

Oh, really?

Hmm, let me talk for a while.

A recent comment from a fellow reader made me reread the original Deathguard novels, and I realized that some of the characters were indeed portrayed differently.

Although the characters in many books are not consistent, I specifically analyzed two books (and many other interpretations) before I started writing.

However, I found that I was still misled by some of the analysis (damn, I only remembered the secondary interpretation of the analysis and not the original work), which caused my portrayal of the Fourteenth Army to be distorted and failed to restore the feeling of the original work.

It's also because my writing skills aren't good enough... but what's done is done, so I can only go along with my original plan...

Although the characters in the various books are sometimes contradictory, let me pause for a moment. If I had just finished reading the original work and were reading this piece I wrote, I probably wouldn't be satisfied...

There will likely be many more incidents like this in the future... I'm so sorry...

Happy reading! (_)

past.

.

Fernando sat opposite Hugo, looking at him with a serious expression.

"You mean, when that recruit touched you, you felt your psychic powers were suppressed?"

Ugo nodded silently.

"But you didn't feel uncomfortable until you were fully in contact with him."

"Yes, teacher."

Fernando fell silent. In terms of ability alone, he seemed very much like an Untouchable.

But none of the untouchables he had ever known or encountered had ever been as strange as this recruit.

Fernando then recalled the pointed remark Barasin had made to him after Hugo's duel with Hades.

"That recruit, Hades, once received weapons from the Emperor."

"It was a sickle, but the Silence Sister carried it the whole time."

Balasin glanced at him again.

"Fernando, you're still not very good at pretending."

“You’ve clearly changed since that shipwreck incident.”

Fernando remained silent.

But Barasin did not press the issue further.

"I don't understand psychic powers, but I believe in you. If you need anything, come to me."

"Furthermore, don't put too much pressure on yourself. In my emergency plan, there is always a contingency plan for dealing with a library psionic leak."

"I've also been keeping an eye on the black ships in this star system, and I can contact them at any time."

Fernando spoke, his voice hoarse.

"if."

If this is discovered, won't their army be wiped out?

Did Balasin really understand the seriousness of the matter, or did he only have a rough idea?

Fernando didn't know.

However, he still prefers to resolve this matter internally.

"No, thank you, Balasin."

Even if the recruit isn't an untouchable, it's still possible if he has the corresponding abilities.

We must get to know "it" as soon as possible as it grows.

He needs to meet the recruit as soon as possible before making a decision.

Perhaps at times like this, he needs a divination.

Perseverance, Think Tank Library.

just now.

.

This is a library managed by the Deathguard think tank, with countless books crammed onto the shelves, including many rare and genuine copies, where millennia of wisdom slumber.

The library, which was originally quite bright, was now completely dark, with all the lights off and a silent darkness enveloping the entire room.

In the center of the library, in the area surrounded by bookshelves, a faint white light shimmered—

Fernando sat in the center of the library, with a set of pure black playing cards in front of him.

Around him were some bloodstained and old weapons arranged in an orderly fashion, with a sword, a bomb gun, a hot melt gun, and three unlit candles interspersed among them.

Some of these weapons were used by previous think tanks, while others were honors bestowed by the emperor after a victory in war.

Golden prayers were densely engraved on the ground, radiating outwards from Fernando and the empty seat opposite him as the center.

As if they were alive, the contents of these prayers were constantly twisting and turning.

Fernando closed his eyes tightly, and psychic lightning pulsed around his head like a white crown of thorns.

There was still half a standard Terran time left before his agreed meeting time with Hades.

If they are untouchables, they cannot directly intervene in divination; their existence would disrupt the connection between psionicists and the warp.

Therefore, Fernando could only choose a time and space that was close to Hades, and use the vacant space as a substitute for the occupied one.

In this world, capable psionicists use various methods, under the guise of prophecy, to capture psionic fluctuations from the timeless subspace, thereby interpreting their past, present, and future.

The legion's think tank also conducts divination before each important battle to predict the situation.

In battle, predicting the opponent's actions in a short time is also a common phenomenon.
