Zhi!

As soon as the screen went black, Mortarion was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Jaghatai had directly hung up his communication.

"How dare you! How dare you treat me like this!!!" Mortarion was so angry at Jaghatai's disdain that his armor spewed out black smoke and poisonous mist. He knocked hard on the fungus-covered console twice, and then ordered his men to continue contacting Jaghatai.

The screen lit up again, and Mortarion quickly regained his composure, pretending that he didn't care at all about Jaghatai's rude behavior.

"Jaghatai, isn't it too rude to treat your brother like this? Don't you call yourself civilized? But you can't even..."

"Didn't I say not to connect his communications? Who did this? You, right? Don't even want your salary this month. Seeing him makes me lose my appetite. Do you want to have dinner at night?"

The screen went black again, and Mortarion heard Jaghatai complaining one second before the communication was hung up.

Mortarion stood there blankly for a long time. Although he said nothing, the armor spewed more poisonous gas. In addition, his back covered with spores and tumors also bubbled and bubbled like it was boiling.

"Sir Primarchs... we..." a Death Guard reminded weakly, Mortarion suddenly exploded, he continued to slap the console and ordered his subordinates to contact Jaghatai in a more stern tone.

After working for a long time, the screen did not light up. Jaghatai had completely blocked Mortarion's communication. Mortarion, filled with anger, was unwilling to give up. He directly took out the crucible used in the ritual and prepared to use a spell to contact Jaghatai.

A few fine bones floated on the green soup surface. These bones were combined into words during the stirring of Mortarion, and then dissolved into the soup and disappeared.

"Jaghatai!!! I'm going to kill you!"

A bunch of spores were inexplicably generated under Jaghatai's feet, and Mortarion spat out hateful words. The crew members on the side wanted to improve Gellar Field's efficiency to eliminate the spores, but Jaghatai stopped their behavior.

"Ha... Since he is bent on scolding me, I will play with him and call the people from the New Psyker Department."

New Psyker Department's elite troops hurried over. They were ready to prove to Jaghatai that they had the ability to counter Mortarion's dirty spell.

"Don't be so nervous, just send a few words to that big bastard." Jaghatai smiled meaningfully, and then told New Psyker Department what they had to do next.

After a while, Mortarion's crucible began to boil. He realized that this was Jaghatai's reply and stared at the soup noodles, not wanting to miss anything.

Haha... what would you say in reply? Could it be that, "Mortarion, I'm going to kill you!" In this case, you would be a complete failure.

The soup noodles bubbled and bubbled, and finally spit out a sound.

"Urgent."

Mortarion was stunned for a while and did not immediately understand the meaning of this word. After he thought about it, he stirred the crucible even more angrily and interacted passionately with Jaghatai.

"Is this all you can say? I will use the power of Nurgle to defeat you! Rot you! Defile you!"

"Filial piety."

"Uhhhhhhh! Jaghatai! You're a loser who can only use your words!"

"Stretch."

"I swear! I will kill you! I will also destroy Imperium!"

"Dian."

"Are you stuttering? You can only reply word for word? Or are you already afraid of my powerful power?"

"Happy."

Uhh!! Uhhhh!!!

Mortarion had a myocardial infarction caused by these words. He had never felt such pain in his body since he ascended to the devil. He fell on the side of the crucible, and a pair of wings behind his back were filled with blood. His pale face and turbid pupils turned red.

Jaghatai on the other end clapped his hands easily, indicating that Mortarion had been severely damaged.

"Is this all?" People from the New Psyker Department said they couldn't understand.

Seeing their confused looks, Jaghatai patiently explained, "Beng Le Xiao Ying Ma Ji, do you know what this is?"

Everyone shook their heads and looked to Jaghatai for advice.

"The Emperor personally taught you the six-character motto. If you can learn these, there will be no one you can't help but anger to death. This verbal attack may seem ineffective, but if it can disturb the other party's reason, we will have many advantages."

"Oh... that's it. As expected of Lord Jaghatai, long live the Emperor!" Everyone surrendered to the wisdom of Jaghatai and the Emperor, and began to think in their hearts about how to use these six-character mottos.

Jaghatai stroked his beard and felt that he should have a conversation with Roboute Guilliman. Develop a set of practical tactics and a set of highly offensive words. Anyway, it is just a little bit of saliva. If you can make the enemy angry and furious, you will really make a lot of money.

At the other end, Mortarion recovered from the pain of myocardial infarction. He looked back at Death Guard, who looked worried, and said that he was fine. Then he ordered the entire army to speed up and attack the Expeditionary Force fleet, vowing to remove Jaghatai's head to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"My lord! My lord!"

Mortarion didn't hear the shouts of his men and was immersed in the fantasy of cutting Jaghatai into pieces.

"My lord!! My lord!! Something happened!!!"

The shouting became louder and louder. Mortarion turned around impatiently and asked, "What's wrong!"

"Sir! The bottom of the ship has been invaded! We... we can't stop them!"

"Huh?" Mortarion laughed angrily. He wanted to see who could break into his ship and jump up and down.

Take a closer look.

Hiss... aren't these Leman Russ, Corax, Magnus, and Lorgar? Why can these people appear here? And why didn't Leman Russ fight with Magnus? How could Lorgar stand in front of Corax alive?

Many questions filled Mortarion's brain at once, and before he could think about it carefully, the deck under his feet made a terrifying twisting sound, and a figure jumped out of the big hole.

Mortarion didn't know Lin Fan, but Lin Fan knew Mortarion. He didn't want to waste any time, and rushed straight towards Mortarion without even saying hello.

"Ha..." Lin Fan's actions made Mortarion sneer angrily. In his eyes, this mortal wearing mysterious armor was just a killer of Officio Assassinorum who knew nothing about the world.

Nurgle is famous for his longevity, and Death Guard is famous for his tenacity. The combination of the two is not a simple 1+1=2. How can this assassin hurt Mortarion? With poison? With that short and weak dagger?

Mortarion took out the sickle and chopped it down hard at Lin Fan.

The next moment, the sickle shattered into pieces. Mortarion saw a slap getting closer and closer to him among the debris in the sky.
