Warhammer: I don’t want to be a can of worms! ! !

Chapter 628 76. Oil Cake

Turn left and go straight, go down the stairs and down the endless stairs. Hades is obviously familiar with the roads to get to the yellow leather golden toilet.

The Imperial Guard opened the door for Hades, who nodded and stepped into the royal hall.

"What do you want from me again?!"

Hades shouted, squinting his eyes and looking at Huangpizi on the steps. At first, he would go up the steps to take a closer look at the old man Huang - but now, Hades hopes that Huangpizi can give him the golden throne. of stairs plus an escalator.

If information could be conveyed by shouting, Hades thought there was no need to walk up and down again. Perhaps the winged Primarch would be more comfortable when meeting the Emperor, and they could just fly.

+Yes. +

The Lord of Humanity's tone was calm.

? ? ?

"What can you do?!"

Hades shouted again. He was already used to the yellow man not speaking human words.

+You may follow your heart, soul of the dead. +

Hades was stunned. He swung between the fact that the Lord of Mankind wanted him to implement Malcador's plan, and Huang Pizi really knew what he was thinking, and then - Hades chose the second option.

"You know what I'm thinking?!"

Hades looked up at the emperor, the golden sunlight on the throne shone on his face, and only the surging golden flame of the star torch could be seen in the black field.

+……+

+I think I know. +

"..."

Hades opened his mouth. He frowned and stared at the old yellow head, as if he was about to attack him with words.

But Hades's open mouth squirmed for a long time, but in the end he didn't say a few words.

"you……"

...I'm afraid it's not a serious illness.

Hades whispered, but the Emperor interrupted him. The Lord of Mankind waved his hand and said firmly,

+I just hope you stick to your heart, Hades. +

Hades alkan hand,

"That's not how you draw a pie - Neos! Are you just entertaining Sajia!"

+I just want to encourage you, that's all. +

The Emperor said calmly, + Nothing happens. +

The light emitted by the star torch swayed behind him. The Lord of Humanity looked at Pluto under the high platform and cursed a few words before walking away with a curse.

"You wait for old Huangpizi!"

Hades cursed at the throne, "When I'm done, I won't have enough juice to eat! Just wait, I'll call Old Horse Head to gank you now!"

…

【You are sick. 】

The pale lord's tired words sounded from behind the golden throne. The human lord blinked and looked sideways at his heirs coming out.

"I don't think so," said the Emperor. "I merely encouraged him."

Mortarion glanced sideways at the Emperor and spoke more firmly,

【ill. 】

The original body said, the wings behind him trembling. He stood casually next to the emperor's left hand, looking at the direction in which Hades left.

"How is it? You have seen his whole face in the light of the Star Torch," said the Lord of Mankind. "It seems that we have the same view on this."

Mortarion sprayed out a mouthful of white mist from under his mask. The originally sluggish mist became brilliant under the light of the star torch.

[He... is still the warrior in my impression, just a little irritable. 】

"You look like you have something harsher to say to me."

The Lord of Mankind had no expression on his face,

[You were sick then and you are sick now. I feel despair and grief because you are my biological father, tyrant,]

Mortarion said without any fear, [When you were on Mars, how did you think of pushing a weak, ignorant, but conscientious person into the abyss? 】

The smile on the emperor's lips widened,

"But it turns out I succeeded and I chose the right path."

[Attempt to merge humans and star gods? 】

Mortarion glanced at the Lord of Mankind, [I don’t know whether he is more pathetic, or I, as your descendant, am more pathetic. 】

The Lord of Mankind raised a hand calmly,

"But it seems that you are relieved, and he...he is obviously happy with it. You have ignored human beings' desire to pursue power. Mortarion, I only helped him and received some interest."

【You are sick,】

Mortarion said again with conviction, his skinny, ragged wings fluttering,

[I have never been relieved - you created us, but left us to fend for ourselves. I spent thousands of years, incompletely moving towards the goal, but when I caught a glimpse of the truth, you told me that I was the one in my life. Biggest mistake. 】

"There's nothing wrong with psykers,"

The Lord of Mankind smiled,

"Human beings are a psychic species after all. The only difference is strength and weakness and activation or non-activation. We have finally landed, and after landing, fish cannot continue to be fish."

【what ever,】

Mortarion raised his hand,

[But I never give up, I'm just tired of hating. There are more important things now. I don't have to waste energy with a paralyzed tyrant. 】

"But you came anyway."

The Emperor still smiled faintly, which made Mortarion feel a little speechless. If it were him in the past, Mortarion might have felt angry, angry at being slighted, but now... let him.

"I need to confirm your status," Mortarion said, "and his full appearance...I can't see his full projection myself." 】

"So what's your conclusion?"

【You are sick. 】

"..."

【……】

The two were silent for a moment. The Lord of Mankind turned his head to look at the original body. The shadow under the original body's hood covered Mortarion's face, and only a vague white haze could be seen.

It seems that the Primarch doesn't want to back down a bit on this topic.

This reminded the Lord of Humanity of the past. He found his No. 14 in the miasma land. The first time he saw it, the Lord of Humanity knew that this would become his white flame to revive humanity.

"There aren't many normal people in this universe," the Emperor said. "That's a luxury... and if you don't want to talk to me, I can ask Garro to do it."

Mortarion sneered,

"No need," said the Primarch, "I miss him very much, but there is no need to disturb his sleep at such a boring time. 】

【So you really...】

Mortarion said, his tone weakening. He walked up to the Emperor and looked at the Lord of Mankind sitting on the golden throne.

【Are you ready to maintain your current status? 】

"There's nothing wrong with it," the Lord of Humanity smiled again, with a relaxed smile, "You know my situation."

Mortarion shook his head in denial. He opened his eyes and carefully looked at the Lord of Mankind up and down again.

[I can see a little more clearly...]

Mortarion said softly, the white mist gathered over the Lord of Mankind, temporarily causing a haze in the subspace.

This haze is like the Pale Lord giving an unscrupulous middle finger to all existences in subspace. He has no other reason to do this.

The Emperor made no objection;

[Your power has been diverted, diverted from the same source, someone close to you has stolen your power - and you... acquiesce to him? 】

"I can't interfere too much." The Lord of Humanity spread his hands, "And it seems that the Fool will help us a lot in the short term."

The Pale Lord sneered, [Emperor...Emperor...Is it a coincidence or intentional? Completely upside down, is he going to be the Hanged Man? 】

The Lord of Mankind shook his head,

"I'm still sad that he's gone, but you don't have to keep reminding me of that."

[But you are indeed weak, unbelievable. 】

Motali settled down for a moment and said briefly,

[Does anyone else or other existence know that you are pretending to be powerful? Lord of mankind? Do the dead souls know? 】

The Emperor shook his head, his eyes narrowed and looked at Mortarion.

"only you know."

The Lord of Humanity smiled, "As a reward for my initiative to return my heirs."

Mortarion's eyes flashed, as if he rolled his eyes.

[This set is only effective for your good children. Even Guilliman will not be touched by these words now. Perhaps only Angron will simply echo you for the sake of atmosphere. 】

"You haven't seen Magnus yet," Mortarion continued, "Have you forgotten? Still not necessary? It doesn't matter, I guess your answer is for the longer term plan. 】

But in fact, the extended analysis of this answer is "not necessary."

The emperor paused, and the smile disappeared from his lips,

"For the longer-term plan, that's how it's always been, and that's how it will be in the future."

The Emperor's hand moved, and the howl of wolves and the cry of eagles sounded in his ears. The future, the present... this is the plan.

Mortarion looked like he rolled his eyes again.

[Whatever you want, but don’t reveal this to other beings again...]

Mortarion looked at the Lord of Men;

[Most of the faith went to make up for your reckless actions thousands of years ago, but where did the other part go? No need to answer, I know it's for your plan. 】

The Pale Lord stopped, lowered his head, and seemed to be calculating, but in the end he shook his head,

【I can’t see clearly. 】

"I always need to plan ahead,"

The Emperor said, looking at Mortarion thoughtfully, he could faintly feel the presence of other Primarchs, "And...it seems I won't have to call back Vulkan in the Webway?"

Mortarion raised his head and looked in the direction of the Ministry of Interior.

[No need for now. 】

The Primarch said, "The Imperium does not have to hold the authority over life for the time being. 】

If he takes charge, the first thing he will do is to wake up Dorn and Guilliman, but Guilliman cannot be exposed, this is a fact.

Mortarion was silent. Malcador's betrayal... to some extent also made the Pale Lord feel a little panic. On another level, the former emperor broke with Malcador... This inevitably made the original body panic. Worry.

[What do you think of me giving him the other half of the Void Dragon? 】

Mortarion suddenly asked,

[Can he bear it? 】

"You can try it," the emperor said casually, "The scene of him devouring the void dragon... shocked me."

[Sick,] Mortarion said, [I still despise your contempt for conscientious humans. 】

"A necessary sacrifice," said the Emperor, "and I succeeded."

【……】

[This cannot hide the fact that you are ignorant in this regard, tyrant. 】

The Pale Lord sprayed out mist like a sigh, [I want to find the undead...? 】

"This is your business," the Emperor said. "The future is yours. Malcador is right. It's time for me to delegate power."

Mortarion fell silent again, and the Primarch realized that there was no longer any need to count on the Lord of Man, who had squandered too much power and whose character had become even more meaningless after Malcador's betrayal.

He stared down at the Emperor,

[I blocked Malcador’s sight... You don’t need to stand up and move now? 】

The Lord of Mankind smiled wearily;

"No," he said, "I sometimes lament when Hades tap dances in front of me."

[Just after walking out of the hall,]

The Primarch said, [He jumped too. 】

"Expected."

————————————

Hades thought he was sure of one thing - that is, both Neos and Malcador were getting more and more upset.

In this regard, Hades, in addition to mentally reprimanding them, also began to do something practical.

In addition to technology, Hades also started to do something——

Gather military power.

He wants to get the general power. Old Huangtou is doing nothing and Macha is crazy, so why not take this!

Taking the deployment of the [Athens Academy] as a starting point, first find out the forge world and scattered Mechanicus forces in each administrative region of the empire.

Then there is the academic war within the Mechanicus. In the past, the Academy of Athens served as bait, and later the loyal Forge World defended his academics. The transformation of the Mechanicus from top to bottom is advancing rapidly.

And after having almost figured out the Mechanicus in each region...using the Mechanicus as a stepping stone, we can profile the Astra Militarum, the Imperial Navy, and the various legion battle groups stationed there.

The Mechanicus is responsible for the production lines of each planet. Whether it is a large machine on an agricultural planet or a giant assembly line on a hive planet, the Mechanicus will have a dedicated sect responsible for sales and subsequent maintenance.

Even some battle groups that can produce their own equipment cannot cheat in obtaining some living supplies.

In the list of data submitted by the Mechanicus, Hades could clearly see which war group had lied and hid how many people.

Some battle groups with good reviews were put aside for the time being, while the ones that performed more confusingly...these battle groups, after being confirmed by the disguised mechanical mages sent out, were judged to be acceptable, Hades would send Huron, and they could not be accepted. If it goes down, Hades will contact the battle groups near the area to check it out.

If it is a heresy, it will be exterminated directly.

In his busy schedule, Hades also took the time to meet with representatives of each legion. He suggested that each legion should now start sorting out and strengthening the connections between the sub-legions.

The history of the great rebellion ten thousand years ago has long been forgotten. With Hades insisting on expanding logistics and production support, implementing large-scale army building, and guarding against the alien 40k, the reappearance of the great army is obviously a certainty.

Now that the logistics can keep up, a battle group with a supply of one thousand people is not as good as a regiment with a supply of ten thousand people at a time in allocating supplies.

Establish the [Athens Academy] to liberate the productivity of each region with information and knowledge, and then use the [Quantum Slingshot] to build more large-scale supply lines to enhance the empire's resilience in response to apocalyptic wars.

This is an integrated operation. While the Emperor and Malcador were bickering and arguing over civil affairs, Hades had already tried to establish a system that relied as little as possible on the imperial civil service system and had the Mechanicum as its branch.

As an empire joke says, the empire is like a crumbling house. Just kick it and countless big men will rush out and beat you up. Hades feels that what he is doing now is no longer trying to stuff things into the house. A big man——

Hades began to carefully fortify the house.
