Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 178 Caleb Allin (Character Single Chapter)

==Fortitude·Middle Corridor==
Caleb Allin was holding the package wrapped in cloth in his hand, and was walking quickly through the corridor of the Fortitude.

But this time, the package wasn't Captain Garo's power sword, but his own flute with scriptures engraved on the surface.

Yes, in the Legion, he is not just an attendant of Captain Garro.

He was also Mortarion's royal musician.

In fact, there is no shame in failing the trials to become a Death Guard.

Each has a unique specialty, at least in Mortarion's eyes.

Just like he has never been able to control the musical instrument called "dizi" very well.

No matter how the company commanders below view this failure, at least this kind of contempt is not allowed to be placed on all formal occasions.

But as a result, the selection of the Death Guard was indeed stricter.

Although a large number of poisonous gas "separation zones" have been established, few mortals born in Barbarus can pass the set of trials that deliberately imitate the old Barbarus environment.

But just because of being able to join the Death Guard is enough to make people flock to it.

Moreover, before Mortarion left, he specially made a current-limiting improvement to the trial device. This improvement added a time limit, which greatly reduced the death rate during the trial.

Coincidentally, Caleb was one of the lucky ones "rescued" by the time limit.

In fact, it has been less than half a year since Caleb just boarded the Endurance.

Fortunately, his musical talent was accidentally discovered during a conversation between Captain Garor and Mortarion.

After that, he was often "seconded" by Mortarion to appease certain machine spirits.

And this time, those primarch guards called "Death Shrouds" made a special trip to inform him to play in the past.

He knew that each of those death shrouds hidden behind the mask could be called a "Heroic Spirit".

These death shrouds have long been registered on the list of those killed in action.

And this also means that at the moment they decide to become the death shroud, everything about them will be completely owned by the original body.

But contrary to intuition, this kind of sacrifice of "abandoning everything in the past" can be said to be flocked to within the entire Death Guard.

It's a pity that the lord never disclosed the specific selection criteria for the death shroud.

Gradually putting aside the cranky thoughts in his mind, Caleb nimbly shuttled among the giants.

He doesn't need to deliberately hide his figure, because the Death Guard can be said to accept the existence of mortals more than those legendary salamanders.

There is no so-called arrogance here, no so-called discrimination.

At least under the suppression of that adult, none of this is allowed to be expressed on the table.

"Everyone has his own value, and these values ​​have nothing to do with whether he is good at fighting."

This motivating phrase that is often spoken by Lord Mortarion always affects the character of the entire Death Guard.

And the meaning of death guard is also the value derived from this--to use the sacrifice called death to guard any existence they think needs to be guarded.

The death guard soldiers passing by on both sides wore "Kukara" on their backs and wore ivory-colored ceramic steel armor that seemed to be unpainted on the main body.

The former is a Babarus special heavy machete made of dense black ceramic-iron alloy;

The latter is a special modification of the standard mk4 extreme power armor. This improvement plan that Mortarion summed up later allows these armors to ensure the basic combat effectiveness as much as possible in even harsher environments.

Only some death guards choose to paint green shoulders to make those shoulders stand out.

The former is a symbol of Mortarion fighting alongside another unknown mortal during the later stages of the Barbarus War of Unification.

The latter is a model deliberately improved by Mortarion to commemorate the "Poison Fog War (Babarus Unification War)".

These armors with several extra breathing tubes are also in line with Mortarion's kind, infantry needs to adapt to the needs of any battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that Mortarion's Death Guard corps cooperated with Horus most of the time during the subsequent Great Crusade.

Those planets with dangerous environments have all been included in the menu of the death guard.

After all, they have a lot of experience in transforming planets.

At least when the emperor arrived at Barbarus for the first time, he couldn't help but praise when he faced a Barbarus that could be called the "Garden World"-it is indeed "you".

But it was also this compliment that Mortarion knew about afterwards, which instead gave him ambition that he shouldn't have.

Although he didn't say anything, from his crazy marching behavior after that, it can be seen that he must want that position.

It's a pity that the war commander is still a commander in chief.

At least for now, he hasn't gotten enough connections.

Although he got acquainted with Curze and Magnus later, it was still far worse than Horus.

But whatever the Emperor's thoughts, Mortarion's own lectures were flocked to by mortals.

Even those originally proud technical priests and technical sages who accompanied the army had to admire the profound knowledge of the Primarch.

Although the slightly heretical "experimental research narration" and the length of time will involve the explanation of some "indescribable power" research, it often attracts criticism from other brothers.

Although they recognized some of Mortarion's techniques, when these techniques involved some "witchcraft"-like behaviors, the only person who could chat with him was Magnus.

It's a pity that the directions of the expeditions that the two were in charge of were not in the same direction. Coupled with the instability of the star language, the two could only maintain the most basic "letter" communication.

But the good news is that Magnus mentioned in his recent letter that he may be about to solve the problem of instant communication, but the technology is not stable yet.

These are the secrets that Caleb has heard.

In fact, he can be said to be the only mortal in the entire legion who knows these secrets, apart from those death shrouds.

For some reason, Mortarion seemed to have an inexplicable trust in him.

Even Mortarion tried to teach him something.

It's a pity that Mortarion didn't waste any more time on this aspect after finding out that Caleb was indeed not the material for research.

Thinking about it, Caleb had already arrived at a certain gate before he knew it.

Carefully remove the palm-sized golden skull buckle on the chest.

He put the buckle made of pewter on the recognizer in front of him.
