Chapter 750 194 Conrad Calls Himself MVP
Chapter 750 1VP
[One month later]
Intelligence, intelligence is always not enough.
At this moment, this is not only the thought in the hearts of the people who know the other story, led by the Emperor and Hades, but also the true feelings of the Raven Lord Corax.
Corax was walking silently in his office, and the dim and restless darkness seemed to indicate the uneasiness in the heart of the Primarch.
So another crazier darkness laughed.
[You should tell them directly. ]
In the corner, Konrad, who was squatting on the ground, chuckled and continued to clean the dirt on his long hair with his ink-stained hands, but this made his hair even more messy and tangled.
Corax's pacing finally stopped, and his all-black eyes looked straight at the empty wall.
[How should I tell them? ]
Corax made a hoarse voice, which was very similar to Conrad's voice to some extent.
[At this moment, tell them that I need to leave the Terra star field? 】
Corax fell silent again, while Conrad curled his lips and rubbed his back with his dandruff-stained hands again.
[Why can't you do this? Angron left directly. ]
[He obviously knows something. ]
Corax subconsciously retorted, and Conrad's disapproving eyes looked at Corax from the black hair of the Primarch, and the bat made a hissing sound,
[You are always like this, Corax——]
Conrad stretched his voice, he knew what Corax was worried about, after Dorne woke up, although they, the fringe Primarchs, were not told anything, but they could clearly feel that the atmosphere became tense again.
Conrad thought that there would be a conversation soon, initiated by these "knowing the truth", and then tell them what happened.
But now, almost all those who know the truth are frantically busy with work, and they don't seem to have time to come out to "comfort" their uninformed brothers.
According to convention, Angron usually does this kind of thing - but this time Angron was the craziest one. When Vulkan took great pains to pull Angron upside down from the ground, they never saw Angron going out to fight again.
What a pity.
Conrad smacked his lips, his dark eyes rolling around, he wanted to see the joke again.
Robert Guilliman had met Corax several times, but Conrad thought that those conversations had the opposite effect, which made Corax more hesitant. The Primarch did not want to trouble others because of his "little things".
At the same time, Corax was always on standby - in this special period, he might be assigned an emergency mission.
Just like what happened on Corax's home planet, the Primarch just entrusted the home planet to the Empire, and did not use his privileges as the Primarch to manage the home planet.
Conrad bit his nails. Why didn't he use the power of the Empire to kill everyone on Nostramo?
[Are you going to let your cubs get beaten in the Bay of Damocles? ]
Conrad pointed this out mercilessly, and then the Primarch crawled along the corner of the wall like a spider to the corner of the ceiling. He hung upside down and stared at Corax, whose face became even paler.
Perhaps for those idiots who shouted "For Humanity!" and "For the Empire!" every day, the things that bothered Corax now were just a trivial matter in their eyes, but for the Lord of Ravens, it was enough to make him sleepless.
In short, Corax's cubs are now being beaten near the Bay of Damocles along with part of the Imperial Army, and the enemy is the Tau Empire that jumped out of a corner and claimed to believe in the "Greater Good".
[I have dispatched a group of reinforcements. ]
Corax said, but Conrad saw Corax clenched his fists.
Corax tried to keep his voice steady,
[The Empire's army is not small, enough for them to defeat the enemy. 】
【But you are still worried. 】
Conrad pointed at Corax with his half-bitten finger. When it comes to stepping on someone's sore spot, Conrad may not be the most ruthless, but he is definitely the most willing to do so.
So the Lord of the Night chuckled,
【Corax, if you have been feeling uneasy... then I suggest you be careful with your cubs. 】
But Corax was still hesitant. The Primarch pondered for a moment and retorted again,
【No... my legion commander Sevix is there, and he is capable enough to deal with this war. 】
Really?
Conrad turned his head away. He thought he should go find some fun.
……………………
【Motarion's temporary office on Terra】
"You are not right."
When Mortarion raised his head from the pile of documents with a tired and dead expression, Karas threw another new document on the Death Table.
【? 】
The Primarch weakly raised a question, but saw Karas frowning at him,
"When did you become so diligent, Mortarion?"
[……]
[I have always been diligent. ]
Mortarion said calmly that the God of Death was never modest. In fact, he thought people underestimated his contributions.
But the God of Death was not a person who sought credit, so, forget it, whatever.
[If you have time to tease me, you might as well continue to help me review documents. ]
In the Ministry of Military Affairs, Mortarion is mainly responsible for the war command of the empire. He needs to approve the permission to initiate the war submitted by the lower levels of the empire, and review the summary table after the war. If the original body believes that this war is unnecessary, Or if one of the commanders has serious negligence, then the original body will sign a judgment order.
In addition, there are also the deployment of materials needed for the war (Mortarion sincerely thanks the Nirvana system for its assistance), the real-time change table of the empire's territory map (always changing), the star map psychic detection change map (with the Gray Knight The same copy over there) and many other matters await Mortarion.
In short, he had to scan everything related to the imperial war.
In this aspect, Hades and Guilliman share the burden for him, and Sanguinius sometimes comes to support him for two days. In addition, Mortarion can't expect to leave with a chuckle after seeing these table data. Vulkan (and there is a high probability that the fire dragon will hug him and say you have worked hard), or Magnus who will never set foot here.
As for Angron, he is already on the stocking list.
"..."
"I think you're all a little overwrought."
As Mortarion's chief secretary (×) and chief ox, Karas also learned a lot of things, including another line of fate.
【perhaps. 】
Mortarion held on and rubbed his sore brow.
[According to Neos, we are indeed still some distance away from the final collapse point - and as long as there is no next convergence point like Dorne, then that side can probably be regarded as non-existent. 】
As for whether there will be a new convergence point, the answer given by the Emperor is absolutely - no, because Dorne is too special, too special to be reproduced.
But people still subconsciously become nervous when they realize that a big job is waiting for them not far away.
It's like knowing that a nuclear bomb is about to explode, but due to insufficient information, you only know that it won't explode anytime soon.
According to the Emperor, Mortarion was silent for a moment, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... the final collapse point should be after Nurgle and Khorne are greatly reduced in strength, or even die.
That was the day of the attack on Khorne.
Karas took a deep breath;
"Then...what's that guy's suggestion?"
He meant Hades, because Karas knew that Mortarion generally assumed that Neos was farting.
【Just work hard. 】
Mortarion rolled his eyes. After a brief moment of shock, Hades quickly calmed down and instantly made a new plan with Guilliman. Hades and Guilliman agreed that the empire needed to immediately Improving productivity and the production capacity of war materials - almost without delay.
It's just that Hades' serious work means working overtime until dark like him. This kind of intensity can only be kept up with by Guilliman and Faenus.
In their spare time, Hades and Guilliman would question Dorne again, but this was the only information they could gain.
It is currently known that at least during the Great Crusade, the backgrounds of several primarchs that Mortarion was more concerned about are:
Inquisitor Konrad Curze, who single-handedly reversed the home planet; Robert Guilliman, who built the five hundred worlds of Macragge into something similar to a super hive world; Mortarion, the leader of the heretics; the nameless Dutchman Russ Luperkar; ever loyal Rogal Dorn.
As for the remaining Primarchs, after assessing the size of their legions described by Dorn, Mortarion concluded that they were not a high threat, either Chaos lackeys or vulnerable - and of course, Magnus the Wise.
However, according to Dorn's evaluation, in Dorn's eyes, the performance of Magnus on that fate line is not much different from that of this fate line - after all, the Magnus of this world was also taught one-on-one by the Emperor at that time. .
As for Dorn's evaluation of the interpersonal relationships between the original body and the original body, and the original body and the emperor, there is still a question mark. They generally believe that Dorn's statement is not referenceable.
Mortarion was deep in thought. Karas wanted to scold him when he saw this, but was interrupted by a sudden request for a visit——
Karas was overjoyed when he saw that it was Hades who applied for the visit, and decided to scold both of them. However, when he saw Guilliman coming, Karas had a sullen face and ran away immediately.
He didn't want to run into Guilliman again, and then be praised by the Lord of the Empire, and then allocate more work quota to him.
This kind of pie-drawing method has been desensitized to Karas by Hades and Mortarion as early as tens of thousands of years ago.
As soon as the sound of Karas' footsteps disappeared in the corridor, Mortarion frowned and heard the sound of Hades and Guilliman's visit.
The God of Death looked calm on the outside, but in fact he had activated his defensive psychic field to the maximum - to guard against Guilliman's unpreparedness.
"Hey! Moth! Thunder Monkey!"
Hades took the lead and walked in with ease, and then naturally picked up the snacks on Mortarion's table where the original body had not moved. Guilliman walked in solemnly and gave Mortarion an official smile.
[Good day, God of Death. 】
Mortarion chose between giving the middle finger and rolling his eyes as he greeted Guilliman cordially.
【What's up. 】
Mortarion asked. Hades obviously didn't intend to explain, and concentrated on searching for the desserts placed on the table by the God of Death. Some of them were the special snacks from the star field that the deputy minister of military affairs, Tiluoer, came to give to the original body.
[The first phase of the Emperor's experiment was successful,]
Guilliman coughed,
[Next we can enter the partial transformation phase. We are here to ask if you are willing to let the Death Guard join the first phase of Space Marine transformation. ]
[Give me the experimental data. ]
Mortarion said lightly, and then Hades sent him an electronic version. The Death God silently tapped and slid on the command board with his hands, adding artificial tendons, strengthening hematopoietic organs, combat sub-brains, low-consumption mode, adaptive short-term directional dominant genomes...
In short, there is no additional function of growing wings and flying (but it may grow claws and fangs sometimes), but the basic values have been greatly enhanced. Compared with the current Space Marines, the body size has expanded to about 1.8 to 3.2 times the original.
Mortarion scrolled down again. Very good, the experimental failure rate showed a question mark.
The Death God already had his own answer in his heart.
[What is your suggestion? ]
Guilliman coughed again. He knew that Mortarion was not asking him, and Hades swallowed the last bit in his mouth.
[Let the Death Guard wait for the third phase. 】
Hades said calmly, as if he had deduced this data countless times,
[Then wait for the third phase. ]
Mortarion said calmly, rejecting Guilliman's signing terms, [Which legions will be in the first phase? ]
[Ultramarines and Imperial Fists. ]
Guilliman smiled bitterly,
[Both Dorn and I have relatively stable genomes, and the base number is huge. You are also one of the ones who meet this condition, but if you don't want to - then I won't persuade you. ]
"Don't be so depressed, Guilliman."
Hades suddenly spoke,
"I think Neos's experiment lacks data on the psychic side, and compared with your legion, the Death Guard now relies on Mortarion's psychic power to fight - the Death Guard's psychic dependence and connection with the Primarch are higher than other legions."
[I didn't think it through. 】
Guilliman said, smiling, while Hades waved his hand,
"Don't complain about the little things, the first experiment will be attended by the son of Hades."
Before Guilliman's eyebrows were raised in surprise, a deafening scream came from outside the corridor,
[Robert Guilliman! The great slave owner of Terra!!! We want a vacation!!! Let my good brother Corax go-now! Immediately! Immediately! 】
A black shadow mixed with a fishy smell rushed in almost the next moment, and its speed even exceeded Guilliman's reaction speed at a certain moment. After Guilliman reacted, a long, greasy thing that looked like a war report had been shoved in Guilliman's face by Conrad.
At this time, Corax's slightly panicked shout came from the other side of the door,
[Conrad? ! Conrad? ! ! Wait!!! 】
【Let my brother kill the Tau, or I'll kill you, Guilliman. 】
Conrad spoke word by word, hot air gushing out of his mouth.
The Primarch was already standing behind Guilliman, his head wrapped around Guilliman's neck, staring into Guilliman's blue eyes. He put the battle report on Guilliman's face with one hand, and with the other hand, he threateningly hit the neck of the Lord of the Empire with a half-gnawed nail.
Before Guilliman's Honor Guard reacted and made a sharp explosion, a long, dry white hand slowly reached out, pinched Conrad's neck, and lifted Conrad, who was suffocating and hissing, away from Guilliman's back.
【You look easy to fight, my brother. 】
The deep voice of the god of death sounded behind Conrad, almost making the hair on Conrad's back stand up. However, before Conrad uttered a sharp ridicule and laughed, another hand suddenly reached out and took the battle report from Curze's hand.
"Wait?!"
Hades shouted. He was busy with titanium recently.
"Titanium! How could I forget about this?!"
Hades raised his head and suddenly looked at Corax, who suddenly opened the door and panted.
"You have to help your legion, Corax!"
Hades shouted suddenly.
