Chapter 752 195 Rest Days, but only the Original Body

Chapter 752 195. Rest day, but only the original body

【. 】

[I didn't expect you to be here, but - Hello, Mortarion. 】

Corax said softly, his pale face hidden between shadows and black hair, he blinked, seeming to be a little surprised.

The Lord of Ravens stood on the deck of the Midnight Howl, the temporary mothership of the Night Lords. He quietly passed by the Night Lords who were patrolling with guns in hand, and came to Conrad's secret room in a familiar way.

[Obviously the Lord of Death is very interested in our next trip, so he is willing to hold his nose and come here to mock me. 】

A lazy and arrogant voice sounded from behind the dark satin couch. Looking at the back of the couch, Corax did not see Conrad's figure. The bat was obviously lying on the couch.

[If that's how you explain my little patience with you, Conrad, then I don't mind letting your face touch the deck again. 】

Another sarcastic and mean voice sounded. Behind the carved hollow bone coffee table covered with star maps, Mortarion, who was sitting on the single sofa chair, tapped the coffee table with his fingers.

The two Primarchs, finally cleared for war deployment, immediately stayed away from their offices on Terra - and now appeared before Corax, aboard the Midnight Howl.

Corax took a few moments to breathe, and then he chose a quiet corner to sit down. Conrad's secret room was not as dirty and crazy as he himself was. On the contrary, it was extremely clean and comfortable.

During the years working under Malcador and the years in Comoros, Conrad may have learned the bad habit of enjoyment.

And because the Midnight Lords have a close relationship with the Assassin Court, after many important figures were silenced, part of their wealth would be taken away by the Midnight Lords——

This is not a manifestation of the greed of the Night Lords. In fact, these space warriors with some weird brain circuits will occasionally randomly take away some gadgets from the murder scene. Sometimes it is just a piece of bone, and sometimes it is a piece of equipment. Jewelry, and then they will choose whether to hand over their trophies to their superiors based on their preferences.

At the same time, some big shots would use their wealth to bribe the Assassin Court. This is a story in another category, but in any case, wealth was accumulated as a result.

There are no gold coin devourers such as wars of attrition and frontal battlefields. When Konrad returned to his descendants, his descendants had already accumulated considerable wealth for the Legion as the original body——

And they obviously enjoyed watching the Primarch squander the bling.

The carpet on the deck, woven with sinful history, was thick and comfortable. It rustled softly under Corax's feet, which made Corax feel relaxed for a moment.

For some reason, being on Terra always makes the Raven Lord subconsciously nervous and cautious, perhaps because everyone is working.

When everyone around you is running, you better run too.

[...Anyway, I'm glad to see you are willing to cooperate, and I'm grateful. 】

Corax said sincerely, and Mortarion looked away after a brief silence.

[It doesn’t have to be like this... Regardless of the verdict of the others, the Death Guard will appear on the Tau battlefield. This is my personal decision. 】

As for Konrad... Mortarion glanced at Konrad, who was lying lazily on the couch. The original body's long hair spread along the side of the sofa to the ground. Konrad was lying on his side, supporting his head with one hand and holding his head with the other. Packing some kind of cigarette with a strong hallucinogenic effect.

[This is also my personal wish! 】

Konrad said happily. He chuckled and looked at Mortarion. If Mortarion was unwilling to help Corax, Konrad could have dragged the Pale Lord over. He was in the Emperor's Crusade at the time. Obtained the achievement of "Being the First to Attack" during the battle.

He also obtained the achievement of "lowest damage, full damage resistance".

At that time, it was Conrad and Mortarion who decided to attack first after looking at each other.

...Even Mortarion sometimes cannot take the first step, so that’s okay! The great Lord of the Night will take action!

Conrad was their black glove, and how willing he was to do it!

When everyone is obsessed with reputation and face, Conrad has long abandoned this illusory existence.

Therefore, if we go into detail, Mortarion owes Conrad a favor, which may be why Mortarion has become a little tolerant towards Conrad now.

Conrad's words made Corax couldn't help but smile. What made him feel a little ridiculous and a little touched was that he really felt the worry or concern for him in his two weird and indifferent brothers.

If it were in the past, Corax would not believe that Mortarion would show such affection, but it turns out that Mortarion does care about his normal brothers, even if it is so subtle that it is almost imperceptible. Way.

Perhaps this also gave them a reason to skip work, but no matter what, they did come to help the Raven Guard.

[On the way here, I didn’t see Sevita... Sevita didn’t come, Conrad? 】

Corax spoke again, but he did not sense Sevatar's soul. Conrad covered his eyes and mouth sadly and exaggeratedly, making a gurgling sound.

Corax wondered if it was crying or laughter.

[He was captured by Guilliman and put in charge of working on my behalf. 】

【……】

Corax's eye twitched in what he was now sure was laughter.

[Callas too. 】

Motarion said calmly, not seeming to feel ashamed of the cold words he said.

In fact, Mortarion had reason to believe that staying away from Karas would be more conducive to Karas Typhon's mental recovery.

The second-in-command of the legions had his own way of relieving pressure. During the years of docking on Terra, the duel arena of the Death Guard was almost full 24 hours a day.

Karas would occasionally appear among these depressed Death Guards. Karas holding a document passed by the arena and then turned a corner and walked into the crowded arena.

Buzz!

A huge spiritual pressure exploded, and the Death Guard arena, which was just crowded, suddenly became silent. People turned their heads and stared at the veteran who dared and often scolded the Primarch.

Karas liked to be low-key, but he would only do that in front of strangers and idiots. In the Death Guard, Karas Typhon was never the synonym of low-key.

But the synonym of irritability.

"The best fighter will come out."

Karas twisted his neck, and his neck, which had been bowed for a long time, made a creaking sound that made his teeth ache. He casually threw the documents in his hand into the air, and the psychic energy lifted them up.

After a short silence, this group of lucky and unlucky Death Guards tacitly selected today's unlucky guy. People opened their eyes awkwardly and watched Karas jump onto the arena, and then beat the "new generation" in an almost crushing manner.

This obviously could not satisfy Karas. Next, Karas would randomly select lucky people to fight him on the stage, or directly jump off the duel stage to beat everyone.

Only when Vorcus was near the arena would Karas let go of Mortarion's descendants, and his fight with Vorcus often ended with both sides being exhausted.

In addition, other legion second-in-commands would occasionally refresh in the Death Guard's arena-as for why they did not go to the World Eaters, it was because for these people, Angron's sense of oppression might be too strong.

Anyone who has worked on Terra for a period of time will be aware of Angron's unusualness. He is the only one who has the least workload among the Primarchs - the Lord of Red Sand is obviously very cunning.

At the same time, these second-in-commands may not want the Lord of Red Sand to see their emotions easily in their hearts. For these people, privacy is particularly important.

Sometimes, Karas, with a gloomy face, will appear in the Death Guard's arena with Dante, who has thick dark circles under his eyes, and fight Dante in person. Karas' personal style is slow and heavy, while Dante is brutal and fierce. The fight between the two is very entertaining. At this moment, the Death Guards who come to watch the fight almost fill every gap in the arena.

At the same time, the Blood Angels often bring a bottle of wine with a strong smell of blood - for Karas to drink while sighing after the duel.

Dante is quite silent, sometimes even more silent than the swearing Death Guard Karas. He will only fight with Karas silently, and then drink a glass with Karas with a melancholy expression.

Sometimes, Sevatar will also appear in the arena, and the bat will jump out from the shadow of the arena and pounce on the platform of the arena. If Karas is not there, then Vox will personally receive Sevatar.

Sevatar is very good at fighting, with amazing explosive power and coordination, but his endurance, defense and injury resistance are far inferior to those of the Death Guard. If Sevatar does not gain a big advantage in the first two bursts, he will be dragged into the quagmire of attrition by the Death Guard.

Usually after the fight, if it is Karas, then Sevatar will curse their Primarch together with Karas, but they often start to attack the other side's Primarch while cursing, and then Karas and Sevatar will start a second free fight outside the arena. At this time, Karas will no longer abide by the rules of the arena, and the Death Guard with a sinister smile will directly use psychic lightning to strike Sevatar.

If it is Vox, Sevatar will leave after a sneer.

In addition, the son of Hades, Buz Bella, who has a calm smile on his face, will also refresh here. He smiles and greets the person opposite with unimaginable tricks. The cow and horse in front of Hades' desk rarely lose, unless he is facing Karas, Vox, or Sevata.

Invincible! Cato Sicarius and the tired Calgar will also appear here with a very low probability. As usual, Karas and Vox will personally entertain them. Unexpectedly, Cato Sicarius showed extremely strong fighting power.

Grey Knight Ahriman sometimes comes here. He only fights with two people here, one of whom is Karas Typhon. The Death Guard will open up a separate venue for them, and then the two psychic masters can start to call the wind and rain, and call thunder and lightning.

The onlookers of the Death Guard raised their heads and watched the two psychic flying men in the air wave or thunder and lightning against each other. The scene was extremely colorful.

Another person who was allowed to fight Ahriman was Pluto's son Buzz Bella. The rules of the gladiatorial arena, which used to not allow weapons, were changed. Buzz, with a calm smile, put on the anti-psychic device specific to Pluto's son, and prepared to reason with psychic energy with his fists and sickle.

In fact, because of the primarchs, the second-in-commands of these legions knew each other more or less - or were already very familiar with each other.

When the primarchs argued, fought, and cursed each other, their deputies would look at each other in the corner, with helplessness and the desire to resign in their eyes.

Motarion had reason to suspect that this group of people had already established their own "Primarch Victims Association" club in a mysterious corner on Terra without telling their respective Primarchs. Otherwise, why did they act so familiar with each other?

Common suffering often unites people. After experiencing the oppression of the Emperor, the Primarchs should understand this.

[My poor Sai. ]

Conrad said, finally putting down his hand covering his face, but there was no tear in the corner of his eyes. Mortarion laughed sarcastically, but he had no position to mock the Lord of the Night in this matter.

Otherwise, why was he sitting in Conrad's secret little room now, looking through the battle reports about the Titanium in a safe and comfortable manner?

There are no documents, no work, and no damn Robert Guilliman here.

Mortarion was relieved.

[So how did you decide? 】

Conrad spoke lazily, his eyes half lowered, and he continued to smoke his rare Dark Eldar cigarette. Corax also looked at Mortarion because of this. The Primarch thought that they were too harsh and oppressive to their second-in-command, but he couldn't point it out now.

Corax could only swear in his heart that he would not be so shameless to his heirs.

【Guilliman gave us five months. Hades will arrive in about the fourth month. By then, the Empire's army must appear on the core planet of Tau. 】

Conrad sighed. Mortarion, who wanted to save face, they obviously still had a month to play.

【So what's the plan? 】

Corax asked with concern. Mortarion pointed to the map under his men, and his pale and sharp hands pointed to those planets.

【Just attack. 】

The God of Death said calmly,

【The Empire does not need any tricks. The Legion will appear in front of the aliens and crush them step by step. 】

The White Scars' previous battles with the Tau were small-scale pursuit and raid battles, while the Raven Guards were stealth battles - these were just restricted by the Tau, and the Tau did not perform badly on a small-scale battlefield.

Through high technology and the assistance of their allied races, the Tau, who are good at long-range warfare, will have a slight advantage when facing the White Scars and Ravens.

But on a large-scale battlefield, this blue-skinned race will expose its disadvantages - the Tau army is still too small.

But the Imperial army currently facing the Tau is the Astra Militarum and the Mechanicus. Compared with the Tau elites, the numerical value of these human troops is still slightly inferior, so the Tau can dismember the Imperial army bit by bit through tactics such as division and guerrilla warfare.

This is why Hades is afraid of this race - the future potential and development trend of the Tau are terrible. If this race is allowed to obtain enough resources, or if they are awakened to the idea of ​​"all-staff conscription", for the Empire, the Tau will instantly change from a chicken rib to a threatening opponent.

Therefore, Hades issued a war order to wipe out the roots. For a race, for an enemy, the greatest respect is extermination.

Hades obviously respects the Tau enough - not to underestimate them.

Therefore, as the agent of Hades' will this time, Mortarion decided to give the Tau a chance to fight against the real hammer of the Empire.

The god of death will fight them seriously and give death to the aliens.

By the way, let the Tau know in advance where the real average level of moral quality in this universe is - it's time to popularize science for them.

This world obviously treats everyone equally. When a race develops to a certain extent, it will show its malice to them.

[The Death Guard is the main wing, forcing their main army to come out to fight us, and the Raven Guard and the Night Lords are the flanks... I think you are good at fighting behind the enemy to assist the main battlefield. 】

Before Conrad showed a satisfied smile, Mortarion was already thinking about how to prepare poison gas bombs for the Tau.
