How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 136 The second company commander and the second company commander’s same-sex repulsion

Not to mention the messages that the Children of the Cursed Emperor read in the waves of the Warp that might happen, but have not yet happened.Rather than these illusory things, let’s talk about some more practical issues, such as——

Cato Sicarius hasn't been happy lately.

To be precise, these three days since the end of the battle in northern Tyros have been unhappy.

The reason is that he didn't achieve anything in this battle... No, that's not the point.Logically speaking, he should not have any opinions on his work itself.No Space Marine should have a problem with his job.If we trace the source, he really doesn't have any objections to his work itself - the part he has an objection to is the colleague who is currently performing the task together with him.

Ionid Hill was an Ultramarine during the Great Crusade ten thousand years ago. He was the first Second Captain after the Legion was restructured into a Chapter, and was also the first "Lord of the Watch."

In short, he didn't like the other person very much.Even though the original body once introduced to them: "Among the Ultramarines, the tradition of 'painting the helmet red' originally represented shame and punishment, but the wisdom and bravery of the red-helmeted Hill made this behavior It turned into a symbol of honor." This history is the same.

He feels that this idea is actually common among his colleagues.If we want to go into detail one by one, there are many reasons: First of all, his form of existence is not right - although the Cursed Army that appeared out of thin air on the battlefield did solve the urgent need; although the think tank director Diglis can prove that it is related The ritual took place entirely within the Cathedral of Tyros, without any elements of chaos, blasphemy or disloyalty; although the Emperor's Dream had a registered list of all "legal witchcraft" that could be performed by the Chaldean Bureau, this A summoning ritual is on the list; but it does not change the fact that their existence... is "not very scientific".

In some ignorant and uncivilized areas, people may believe that when their hometown encounters a crisis, the deceased heroes and warriors in history will return from the fog of death to help them protect their homeland as guardian spirits.This is a kind of barbaric ancestor worship or belief in ancestral spirits. Any Ultramarines should have been able to say this with confidence, until reality punched them all in the face.

The Ecclesiastical Church was very happy. They considered this to be a clear proof that "the Emperor sent warriors to help his son."However, in comparison, it was obviously the later incident of "the emperor personally appearing as a saint to capture the demon primarch" that excited them even more... it was too far gone.

Not to mention how many obstacles the state religion has caused to the imperial regent in just two days, let's talk about Ionid Hill - it is also a product of witchcraft based on the soul of the deceased. Other curses The Ultramarines are well aware of the fact that they are not within the current organization of the Chapter.They only requested a small area as a temporary base, and set up camp obediently under the coordination of the first Chapter Master Marius Gage.

According to their own statements, after the waves of the Warp created by the Emperor's arrival slowly subsided, they would naturally leave and return to where they should be.They can only stay in the real world for a period ranging from seven to thirteen days, and cannot do work that pays great attention to continuity, but they welcome contemporary ultramarines and members of their sub-groups to come and communicate in their spare time.They also consciously refrain from dictating the current operations of the Chapter, except for those tasks that the Primarch decides to assign to them.The only unplanned action these men took was to try to prepare a banquet involving the Primarch before one of them had to leave.

——But Ionid Hill is different from others!
From the moment he emerged on the battlefield, he remained with the Primarch.He did think of a way to prevent the original body from going to the next battlefield to take risks; he also told Sicarius that he had put forward some theoretical templates for similar situations that seemed to be effective, but still needed to be verified in practice; Indeed, in the past two days, one or two of them were used to successfully persuade the original body not to go too close to the front line, and not to meet directly with Konrad Coze, who was obviously mentally unstable——

——But this does not mean that, as a dead person who is not part of the current establishment, he just squeezed into the original bodyguards without hesitation, and kept dangling beside him in front of the original body with a red helmet on his head. , and the casual attitude of criticizing the decisions made by the original body from time to time is right!

The most annoying thing is that the original body acquiesced in all this and obviously liked him very much!He even makes time to chat with him!
Although one has to admit that the first Watch Lord played a positive role in the protection of the original body, he was even helping the other party, trying to spread these proven or unproven theories without the original body's knowledge. The model formed an instruction book, but Cato Lemon Sicarius still didn't like Ionid Hill.

And he was sure that the latter had realized this, because Hill asked him very bluntly: "You seem to have something against me, brother?"

The shocked Sicarius suddenly turned his head at a very unnecessary speed and looked at the person who spoke.At this moment, Ionid Hill was not wearing his iconic red helmet, but his scarred face was exposed. As a result, Sicarius was able to recognize another fact that he didn't like very much: He is really similar to the other person.

It's not that they are similar in facial features or appearance, although they both have almost the same short blond hair and blue sclera, but something deeper, more indescribable, and more emotional... After a brief weighing, Sicarius Si decided to be honest with himself and others: "Yes. I don't like you very much. But I guess I'm not unprofessional enough to let my emotions affect my work?"

"Of course you didn't." Hill said briskly, "I'm just a little curious about this matter. I know that I have never been a particularly likable person in the Legion, but I feel that in this situation where we know each other, I haven’t done anything annoying in the past few days, right?”

Sicarius adjusted his gaze so that his expression could more accurately express the emotion of "anger": "Don't you?"

"...do I have it?"

Hill was obviously stunned by this rhetorical question.After being stunned for a moment, he showed a thoughtful expression. He thought like this for more than a second, and then spoke again: "I am very sure that what I did in the past two days is the same as what I did when I was alive." Is there any difference between the ones?"

The word "while alive" once again reminded Sikarius that the "thing" he was facing that looked like an Ultramarine was essentially a monster from subspace.This thought that resurfaced made him flinch for a moment, and then he turned to spurn his unsteady and weak self, suppressed all thoughts that had nothing to do with the topic, and continued to glare at Hill:

"No?" He repeated this half sentence, but the meaning it expressed was completely different from the previous time. "Were you so dishonest in your past?"

Sicarius can guarantee that among the Primarch Guards who have seen the entire process in the past few days, more than [-]% of the people who only talk about the Ultramarines hold the same view as him.But when Ionid Hill faced this accusation, he just tilted his head unconsciously in confusion:

"What are you talking about, brother?"

Obviously, he was completely unaware of the problem and took everything he did beyond the bounds of etiquette as a matter of course.

This made Sicarius even more angry.

　Miwu (six o'clock)

　　This chapter is written about how there is a feeling of writing ancient novels, Wan Wan Lei Qing, what to do if Bai Yueguang is alive as a substitute, Grandma Rong is going to give you rules today... that kind of thing (face covering).

　　I quite like writing that kind of stuff, but I also feel that it shouldn’t appear in this worldview... Sicarius, do you have any clues?
