Chapter 290 281. Hades: WDNMD
Hades skillfully picked up a fruit from the fruit basket in front of him, and kept chatting with Abadon with a relaxed look on his face.
Once again, Luna Wolves and Ultramarines entertain guests the best way!
In addition to the two people who were sitting on the sofa blowing water, Sejanus, who was reading the battle report, was sitting next to Abaddon. On the other side, Sevatar was leaning against the wall needlessly, silently closing his eyes and concentrating.
Although everyone here can detect Sevatar's vigilance, in fact, at this stage of their lives, constant vigilance is a necessity for survival.
Hades has also been turning on his own black domain at a low concentration, which covers the entire room, including part of the long corridor outside.
None of these people have any psychic potential, except for Sevita, but the Prince of Crows has been suppressing his own psychic abilities, so Hades is not sure whether he realizes the difference in Hades.
"How do you think this battle will be fought, Hades?"
Abaddon said casually,
"It's just a hypothesis. If it were you, how would you fight?"
Sejanus looked up from the battle report and looked at Yi Zekel glanced at it and then moved his gaze back to the pile of information.
Hades was about to take another bite of the food.
For some reason, he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why. Maybe it was because the armor cleaner used by Savita was not the same model as theirs?
"Yes."
Hades glanced at the map on the table casually,
"This civilization shows a high degree of unity, and they have made good use of all kinds of materials on this planet."
Hades bit. Taking a bite of fruit, he muttered,
"Burn their farmland and granaries."
"What?"
Abaddon asked doubtfully,
"The city's food supply relies on the collective farmland of the two continental plates. You see, they use They have planted a large piece of plain to ensure the supply of basic rations." "
The information shows that they are about to enter the harvest season, and their reserves should be at a low level now."
Hades said, and then used Draw a circle on the map with your hand, where is the part marked [Agricultural Land].
"Compared with key buildings, the protection of farmland is more fragile and difficult to achieve. The army cannot always guard against malicious intent from the outside world." Hades continued to gnaw on the fruit. "It burned them all, igniting a
fire
that filled half of the continent. At the same time, keep an eye on their attempts to restore farmland and send small groups of troops to harass them." "
Then just leave a company to guard the planet. They will surrender automatically. If they do not negotiate peace with the empire, then buy what they need for survival. In order to obtain food, nine-tenths of them themselves will have to die first."
Abaddon opened his mouth but made no sound.
Sejanus said,
"If the cultivated land is not restored, even if there are reserves, they will be quickly exhausted in front of the huge population. This is indeed a way of thinking." Hades waved his hand, "This is to
unify
the entire planet. It is a common problem in civilization that there has been no civil war for a long time. The planning and management of an entire planet will naturally involve planting all basic crops on the plains that are the most fertile and easy for mechanized management, and only cash crops and seasonal plants will be planted near population centers." "The slightest bit
. Don’t think about what will happen if your basic farmland is burned."
Hades whispered, but this is relatively unsolvable, because large-scale agricultural construction, mechanization and industrialization will inevitably lead to it being very easy to be destroyed.
The transportation, preservation, plundering, and destruction of survival materials have always been an important part of war, and sometimes their importance even far exceeds that of guns and bullets themselves. If it were the army itself, it would be okay. Soldiers would know how to survive in a situation of urgent shortage of supplies, but if it were civilians. And Hades silently swallowed the core in his mouth
when he could not see the recovery of supplies in the future.
Go down, the hive city is okay, this highly developed human civilization, I am afraid it has not suffered this kind of hardship.
In the case of shortage of supplies, as long as the empire maintains an attitude of negotiating peace at any time, their own noble position will be destroyed by then.
Hades raised his head boredly, and then saw Abaddon staring at him,
"What's wrong?"
"I was thinking," Abaddon said slowly, "We can increase the priority of agricultural land in the future. "
Hades spread his hands,
"Anyone can do it, but I think there is a high probability that no one will use this trick. This is a side technique, not very useful." "
I'm just kidding."
Although Abaddon's eyes The complicated expression told Hades that his casual mention was probably taken seriously.
So Hades put away his casual expression and looked back at Abaddon with a silent expression,
"I was just joking."
Hades said every word.
Before Abaddon could react, Sejanus's voice rang out,
"Ezekiel, father is calling us."
Hades blinked and looked away. He smiled casually,
"Go to work quickly. , you two, see you on the battlefield then."
The two moon wolves said goodbye to Hades and Sevatar solemnly. Soon, apart from the servitors, only Mortarion's was left in the conference room. Death Shroud, and the black-armored guards on Curze's side.
Hades was not yet able to distinguish the armor decorations of the Night Lords, and except for Sevatar, everyone else wore helmets, which made him unsure whether Shang or Shen was among this group of bats.
Hades thought for a while,
"Why don't you sit down for a while, cousin?"
Sevita opened his eyes, his eyes stayed on the sofa for a few seconds, Hades smiled at him,
"The two of us This is the first time for the legion to cooperate. Let’s get to know each other, and it will be easier for us to fight together.”
So Savita also sat down casually, but compared to Hades, who had already regarded the Moon Wolf reception room as his own home, he was obviously Be cautious.
The closer you get, the stronger the feeling of discomfort becomes. Sevita concealed this detail with an expressionless face.
"Commander of the Death Guard, Hades."
"First Captain of the Night Lords, Sevatar."
Hades smiled slyly,
"You have been listening just now, cousin, then if it were you, you would How to fight this?"
Sevita paused,
"I just obey the order, I don't create it." "
Okay, what if it's the Midnight Lord? I just want to understand your fighting style."
Hades He looked at the fruit basket, but it was better not to talk to Savita while eating.
"For example, the Death Guard, if Lord Horus does not prohibit it, we may use some inhalation weapons, so I will remind you to wear helmets, and it is best to change to better respirators." "There are always recruits who don't like it
. Wear a helmet."
Saiweita's voice was somewhat relaxed,
"I thought you would like to use phosphorus weapons to burn farmland, which is a good idea." "
Actually, we also use phosphorus weapons, you know Yes," Hades lowered his voice, "But under the eyes of Horus, we will most likely be banned." "
They like to bind themselves through mercy."
Saivita crossed his arms and joked, "Just go ahead and Tell me this, my cousin? Aren't you worried that we will also be merciful members?" Hades
silently pointed to the strung skulls on Sevatar's armor,
"At least the Ultramarines won't like it. Use them for decoration."
The two of them looked at each other, and then Sevatar laughed. He seemed to remember something funny,
"Forgive me, but your way of greeting really impressed me."
Hades said indifferently. Taking another look at the fruit basket, Savita saw that he really liked that fruit basket.
Sevatar has rarely seen such a straightforward person. Among the Night Lords, such people will not live long.
Hades continued,
"This is necessary. If we don't make it clear before the war, those people will come over in the middle of the war and ask us angrily why we use these weapons." "In this regard,
my The answer is, they didn't say
it couldn't be used." Hades' words reminded Sevatar of some previous cooperation between the Night Lords and other legions. Their father had always been passive in negotiating with other legions. They had to face constant rebuke from other Primarchs on the battlefield.
This happens almost every time.
And this time...
"We basically don't use weapons that will affect friendly forces," Sevita suddenly said.
Hades showed a knowing smile, "Then what will you use?"
"We use fear."
Saiweita said, "Let fear break down the barriers in people's hearts and make them realize that behind surrender is the deep The bottomless abyss of fear."
Hades stared at him, as if he knew something, but Sevatar did not read anger, disgust, or other angry emotions from that look. Hades spoke calmly,
"I probably know why you are not a merciful person."
"But the Death Guard is not a merciful person. If you are determined to use your tactics, tell us, the Death Guard may be able to assist or help you." This is completely,
completely This was beyond Sevatar's expectations. This kind of relationship between legions.
He wanted to continue asking, but he did not speak. It would be obviously impolite to ask further. If the person making such a promise is either a fool or a real person, The Legion has a say.
But beyond that, what shocked him even more was Hades's promise to the Night Lords. It was too much, and he began to doubt Hades' intentions.
Hades, on the other hand, still had that calm but indifferent expression. Every few seconds, his eyes would move to the fruit basket.
He still needed to test, and Sevita smiled, although the Crow Prince's smile looked sinister. He reached for the fruit in a fruit basket - very plump and attractive in color, like
a moon wolf. Their own hypocritical justice.
"Thank you for your kindness, cousin."
Hades showed an overjoyed smile. Savita took it, and then he could. Hades stretched out his hand naturally and muttered polite words,
"No, we are all fighting for the empire. ——"
Hades's pupils narrowed instantly. In the black area, a blazing flame was approaching rapidly -
he subconsciously stood up, picked up the obituary, and compressed the black area -
"Run -"
No, it's too fast, too fast. Soon!
At the last moment, the figure was almost there as if teleporting,
"Cough."
Hades coughed out a mouthful of blood.
He lowered his head tremblingly and saw a power claw passing through his chest, a heart still beating.
【What kind of monster are you? ! Stay away from Sai! ! ! ! 】
A harsh sound exploded from behind the ears, and severe pain came from the neck.
Hades's eyes darkened.
The next second, everyone's eyes instantly went dark.
Screams broke out! Curze screamed and threw Sevetar away, while trying to escape at an alarming speed -
Hades trembled and tried his best to let a little light reappear in front of his eyes. No, it cannot explode here. Black Territory. He couldn't.
Hades gritted his teeth and tried to compress the Black Territory to his body. He had already seen Curze, who was running away quickly, raising his gun. Damn it, what the fuck——[
Hades ! ! ! ! ! ]
Mortarion's voice directly tore everyone's eardrums. The next moment, the scythe of the Lord of Death tore through the sky and rushed straight towards Konrad Curze -
meeting Abaddon and Sai in the reception hall. Horus of Ganus showed a desperate expression.
