Warhammer: I don't want to become a stinky can!

Blanca angrily spat on the ground.

He looked at Hades, who was clearly exhausted and had a black eye (from the blow he had given him).

Blanca, feeling dejected after being defeated by the recruits, thought to himself...

You're pretending on purpose, aren't you? You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?

[Fengze, you go!]

A robust veteran from the Seventh Company jumped onto the dueling platform.

But as if he had already anticipated Blanca's choice, Hades, panting heavily, didn't react much, and he remained composed.

[please.]

"Om-"

When the third veteran was knocked to the ground by the panting recruit, the atmosphere in the audience became extremely heated.

Realizing that this recruit was different from those pretentious good-for-nothings, that he was exceptionally capable in combat and didn't cause trouble, the veterans on the sidelines were also pleasantly surprised.

Let me go up on stage and beat him up!

however--

[Jose, that's your move! That brat in the audience copied it!!!]

[Get to his left; this guy just strained his left arm! He doesn't have much strength!]

[Attack his bottom lane! Attack his bottom lane!]

[Hey, Fidel, are you even capable? How did you get beaten up by an injured recruit?]

[If you're so good, then you do it!]

Another figure darted onto the platform.

[I'll go!]

The figure opposite Hades had become a blurry block of color in his mind. Hades moved to the right, dodging the attack once again.

He obeyed his brain's unconscious commands, reaching to the right, then rolling over—

A beautiful shoulder throw!

sixth!

Hades shook his head. He was covered in bruises, and someone had just kicked him in the stomach.

But none of these were the worst things. What bothered Hades the most was that he felt he had low blood sugar, and the vague feeling of weakness was becoming more and more obvious.

He's so hungry, he's about to die.

Another figure darted to the front of the stage.

Hades' stance,

[please.]

He muttered something under his breath.

Then--

The other party used—

Up, down, down, left, right, left, right, ba, ba!

L Dragon Fist!

Hades, who had no strength left, was knocked to the ground. Seeing that he had been defeated, Hades had no intention of getting up. He lay on the ground to conserve his energy.

Opposite him, his former opponent, Blanca, had his hands raised high with a deliberately comical expression.

The outcome is decided!

Cheers and whistles erupted from the audience at the same time, and Blanca stood under the lights, accepting the long and continuous cheers.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, he lowered his arms and made a shushing gesture with his hands over his face.

The cheers and jubilation stopped abruptly.

A faint sound emanated from the floor of the dueling ring—

[The old folks have no sense of martial ethics]

Blanca laughed heartily, pulled Hades up from the ground, and let the exhausted Hades lean on her shoulder.

[There's no such thing as martial ethics on the battlefield, little guy.]

[This is the first lesson we're teaching you.]

[besides,]

Blanca raised an eyebrow.

[welcome!]

Cheers and whistles erupted from the audience again!

Welcome, Hades!

Random thoughts: Analysis of the factions in the dueling arena.

Barbalusian: Those who followed the Primarch, nothing more to say.

Terran:

The radicals, who are also the vast majority of veterans who took to the field, wanted to prove the original forces wrong.

The neutral faction is not entirely accepting of the Primarch, but after all, they will be fighting together in the future.

They were the cold, rational people in the audience.

The moderates believed that the Legion had already reserved a place for the Primarch from the very beginning; only with a Primarch could a Legion be considered complete, no longer subject to restrictions such as unit control.

They're the ones who recruit radicals and call for help.

Think tank: Radical

Chief Think Tank: The Strange Guy

Karas: He hopes to use the hype and atmosphere of the dueling ring to get Mortalian to accept psionic powers.

Motalian: Tired of studying, he went for a stroll and fell into Kalas's trap, but after Hugo came on, he realized that Kalas wasn't as innocent as he thought.

The relationships within the Death Guard are actually quite complex, but everyone keeps a low profile, so the Duel Arena incident shouldn't have happened.

If it were the original story, these factions would never have any contact, and most of the Terran soldiers would eventually be lost.

However, the dueling arena was designed by Karas, and Karas learned psychic powers because he was provoked by Hades, thus creating a butterfly effect.

Interestingly, although the various factions were unwilling to accept defeat, the outcome of the duel on the dueling stage ultimately determined the course of the story.

Terran veterans win

Ending 1: The deaths and injuries of the Terrans were caused by Mortarion.

Barbarossa victory

Ending 2

Typhon Victory

Ending Three: He gradually becomes the chief think tank, which then becomes Karas's private army.

Hugo Victory

Ending 4: The complete demise of think tanks

However, Hades, through a combination of power and luck, achieved a great success, directly unlocking the hidden ending and successfully breaking the deadlock.

Happy reading! (σ′▽‵)′▽‵)σ

Chapter 64 Beneath the Surface

Endurance.

Three months after the Duel Cage incident.

.

In the training hall of the Seventh Company, there was a makeshift dueling cage.

Since that farcical duel, Blanca has completely changed Hades' training plan.

Every morning, Hades would first undergo specialized training and instruction with the veterans, and in the afternoon, he would begin actual combat.

Not only did the veterans of the 7th Company line up to challenge Hades one-on-one, but veterans from other companies also came to participate in the duel.

The Pharmacist of the Seventh Company stood guard by the dueling cage, checking on Hades whenever he collapsed from exhaustion.

Normally, Hades, who had fallen to the ground, only needed one dose of concentrated nutrition to stand up and continue receiving the injection.

Of course, if one dose isn't enough, then two doses will do.

Thanks to the Death Guard's enhanced nutrition, Hades has completely said goodbye to his usual mealtimes, and his leisurely mealtimes have been interrupted by the veterans' eager challenges.

Unlike typical two-on-one duels, the Terran veterans discovered that Hades could quickly devise attack strategies targeting their strengths and weaknesses when fighting him.

For these veterans, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to improve their combat capabilities.

Hades's carefree life of slacking off in the Foundry Hall has come to an end, and the Foundry Hall is now extremely busy because of the mechanical gods from Mars.

Hades, being of little use, was naturally taken away from the Foundry by Blanca.

Before leaving, Blanca glared resentfully at Sergeant Alberto.

For Hades, this is also a great opportunity to improve his combat strength. But don't treat him like an NPC, huh? He'll just refresh at set times and locations, won't he?!

But there was nothing Hades could do. He was still being challenged to one-on-one battles by a bunch of veterans, so he had no choice but to accept the situation with a bittersweet feeling.

That's how it is; even if you want to give up, your good teammates will pull you up and beat you up.

During this period, Hades's low Gothic hearing and speaking skills saw rapid growth.

He can now exchange insults with Blanca in Low Gothic!

Although it's highly likely that Hades will mutter a few complaints under his breath, and then Blanca will relentlessly train him, all under the guise of doing it for his own good.

thank you.

Another recruit in the 7th Company, Vox, had a completely different training path from Hades.

Every day, Vox would be sent by Blanca to different companies to train with them.

Hades expressed his confusion and dissatisfaction, wondering why he was the only one getting beaten up every day.

He went to Blanca to ask why Vox's training plan was like this, but the usually rough-around-the-edges veteran just rolled his eyes at him.

"How would I know? I just do whatever I'm told to do. You can ask Jialuo if you dare."

Hades remained silent.

Although he has physically bonded with the veterans, he is not familiar with any of the higher-level managers except for Blanca.

Well, theoretically speaking, he could go directly to Mortarion.

But Hades felt that Mortarian was probably more aware of the Terran's actions than he was, so asking him wouldn't be of any use.

Besides, Mortarian wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

So Hades went to ask Vox, the person involved.

Vox looked at Hades, who had a curious yet innocent expression.

He thought for a moment, then decided to speak out what he was aware of. Vox began cautiously.

"Is it possible that Blanca and the others want me to have more contact with the Barbarosians?"

? !

So that's what they were thinking?

It seems that Company Commander Gara is not the kind of person Hades imagined, someone he wanted to gradually fade away from.

What they didn't know was that Galo was indeed that kind of person, and the one who truly instructed Galo to do so was the First Company Commander, Balasin.
