Nurgle, who was stirring the cauldron, pinched the sword hilt with two fingers. He thought the sword hilt was really interesting, so he carefully selected a dying flower bone in his Garden of Nurgle, then put the sword hilt in and gave it to Mortarion who was leaving.
At this time, Mortarion has led the entire Death Guard army to the edge of Eye of Terror riding the wind of plague, and they will immediately join this fierce battlefield.
Mortarion didn't want to go to Cadia when he first went out. He really didn't want to see Typhus's face full of ambition. But he didn't control Typhus too much. After all, he didn't want to let himself control his company commander like the Emperor controlled him.
Typhus If he doesn't obey, then he won't be obedient. As long as he doesn't hang around in front of him and make him angry.
He is very interested in Five Hundred Worlds, which Roboute Guilliman has always been proud of. It just so happens that he has learned a lot of gardening skills in taking care of flowers and plants under Grandfather in the past few years. It is a good choice to find a place to practice his skills.
But not long after the voyage, Mortarion felt an unknown fire that kept tugging at his heartstrings. At first he didn't understand why, until one day when he lay in bed and fell asleep, he dreamed of Jaghatai's old face that needed a beating.
"Ask the real master of Death Guard, Typhus, to come see me."
These words made Mortarion so angry that he lost all sleep. When he woke up, he was sulking for a long time. Then he realized that his dream was a revelation, telling him that Jaghatai Khan had returned.
He immediately changed his destination and led the fleet in the direction of Cadia.
The scale of Death Guard's collective dispatch is really terrifying. You must know that even Typhus, the plague lord who made Imperium feel like a powerful enemy, only led one unit of the Plague Company. And the entire Death Guard The legion has seven plague companies. Each plague company is composed of varying numbers of pus and blood brigades. Each pus and blood brigade consists of seven hundred Plague Marines as the main force, supplemented by a large number of Imperialis Militia, armored formations, Daemon Engine and plague zombies.
Today, Death Guard has a total of 77,777 Space Marines, but Mortarion is not satisfied with the current scale. He hopes that Death Guard can have seven million warriors. This is not because he sees the powerful force of seven million warriors gathered together, but because he feels that it is very auspicious to form a seven-digit army.
This was a very difficult goal in the past. After all, Warp is not a peaceful place. Death Guard needs to exchange fire with other warbands all the time. In just one battle with Perturabo, more than a thousand Plague Marines were killed. Moreover, there is no unity within the Plague Legion. Different interpretations of the nature of Grandfather often cause them to have internal strife.
For example, Purifiers, they are not part of Death Guard. After they fell into the arms of Chaos, they saw the close connection between Warp and reality, Dark Gods has a profound influence on mortal things. Their superhuman brains begin to think based on the harsh situation in front of them, believing that humans will always make mistakes, which makes them weak and incompetent, and that ordinary life forms will only make the animals and plants around them and even the land itself become a potential breeding ground for evil.
The core of Purifiers's ideology is the noble idea of eradicating all evil, but the specific action is to kill without distinction. As long as there are no living creatures in the world, there is no possibility of making mistakes, and true peace and justice will be realized at the end of the mass extinction of life.
So they prayed to Nurgle that a plague that would destroy all living things would come, and before the plague came, they would spare no effort to complete the work of mass extermination.
Facing Purifiers's brain circuit, other Plague Marines can only say: You are a little too extreme.
The world after the attack by Death Guard will become a dark, fertile paradise. The world after the attack by Purifiers will become a charred, lifeless wasteland. Even the followers of Nurgle and the believers who diligently spread the gospel for him will be killed mercilessly by Purifiers.
Therefore, Death Guard and Purifiers often clashed. Garden of Nurgle's front foot was worked hard by Death Guard, and its back foot was burned cleanly by Purifiers. No matter how good-tempered Death Guard is, it is intolerable.
Grandfather doesn't have much opinion on Purifiers's philosophy. After all, death is a part of life in his eyes. If there is great prosperity of life, there should also be great extinction of life. Both of them must be experienced before it can be called healthy.
Apart from the ideological conflicts between fundamentalists and protestant denominations, Warp is now becoming more and more friendly and safe for Nurgle's children. Tzeentch has disappeared, Khorne has died down, Slaanesh is lazy and sleepy, and only Nurgle was in high spirits, and his hands stirring the cauldron became more and more powerful. The cauldron shook, spilling a lot of soup full of germs, and the large dry wasteland was moistened by the soup. This undoubtedly provided an excellent living environment for the growth and spread of the bacteria, and Death Guard could use the increasingly wider swamps and wetlands to expand the army.
Becoming a Space Marines requires complicated surgery and a fully cultivated Gene-seed, but Death Guard, which is completely converted to Grandfather, simplifies the process and adds interesting features. (Note: I did not find the details of how to recruit people after the rebellion, so I simply made it up myself.)
The process of reincarnation of life and death for all things on the nutritious earth. In order to get as close to this process as possible and get Grandfather more blessings from it, Death Guard will work diligently to cultivate the fields like a farmer. Nurgling would jump around Squigs curiously, and the Plague Secretary hurriedly took Nurgling away and showed an apologetic smile to the busy Plague Marines.
Fertilizing the fields is an important job, and barren land cannot produce a good harvest. Plague Marines will drive a rusty tractor or lead a huge cow covered with scars to plow a large number of corpses that have decayed into giant shapes into the ground. At this time, the corpses will explode from time to time, ejecting the internal organs and rotten gas, and weaving a series of funny chirping sounds behind Plague Marines.
The last step is to sow. Mortals who have survived the hotbed of diseases and poisonous insects are called recipients by the Plague Marines. They will be buried in pits in the fields and be intimately united with the fertile plague in the soil within seven days.
Then a strong and straight vegetable seedling will push out from under their skulls. The vegetable seedling will grow vigorously in a seven-day cycle, and finally mature after seven cycles. The plump and heavy fruit will stick to the ground waiting to be harvested.
