Chapter 1975 Sosh raises his troops to welcome the Terra envoy
In Feisal's imagination, this meeting was just a welcome ceremony and a simple test of each other, so Asterion Moro, the Chapter Master of the Minotaur Chapter who followed him to the Maelstrom, originally hoped to
Accompanying him in this meeting, but considering the unpleasant experience between the other party and Soshyan, Faisal did not intend to turn the first meeting into an unmanageable conflict.
The Astartes attach too much importance to honor, and any words or deeds they consider insulting may turn into violent violence.
In fact, he was notified that the Minotaur Chapter would be accompanying him only when he was about to set off. He didn't know much about this war group that absolutely obeyed the High Lords Council, but their reputation among the Adeptus Astartes was obviously not very good.
, and he wasn't quite sure what the purpose of these soldiers following him was, but he definitely didn't believe it was just to protect himself.
He was not a person of such high status that he was not worthy of the protection of the entire Astartes Chapter. Feisal still had some self-awareness, so he did not want to get too close to the Minotaur.
His political sense told him that these Astartes might be carrying some kind of darker mission, which might involve his life.
【Prepare to land】
As the prompt sounded, the shuttle was about to land.
Faisal broke away from his thoughts, tidied himself up again, then put on his white gloves, and the attendants also stood up from their seats.
The brass boarding pipe located on the city's largest tower slowly opened, looking like an orchid opening its petals to welcome the rain and dew. The shuttle engine slowly sprayed white clouds backwards, and then resembled a small beetle.
Fall towards the landing platform.
When the shuttle door opened and the ramp was lowered, the long-awaited military band began to play the Imperial golden song "The Emperor's Breaking Music" - this song is said to have been compiled during the period when the Emperor first raised troops on Terra.
In an epic battle, he commanded less than one-tenth of the enemy's troops and defeated two of the strongest technological warlord coalitions in the Pan-Pacific region at the time. The two enemy leaders were captured in one battle and laid the foundation of the empire. After the war, the soldiers
Old Terran songs were filled with new words, and after the empire was officially established, it became the most commonly used welcome song in public and diplomatic occasions.
Faisal stepped out of the shuttle and saw a group of Astartes and Astra Militarum officers waiting below. The leader was a huge giant with a young and handsome face, wearing gorgeous ceremonial armor and wearing a
The laurel wreath was magnificent, and a Terminator behind him was holding a battle flag awarded by Terra. It was obvious that the opponent was Soshyan Alexei, the commander-in-chief of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force.
However, he was a little confused. Why were all military personnel appearing here, as if this was a front line? This was worth noting, but he couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
But it was useless to think too much at the moment. The messenger from Terra shook the cloak behind him and walked slowly down the ramp. An attendant followed him holding a flag high. The flag used golden threads to depict the sacred Terra, the planet
Surrounded by the symbols of the twelve departments of the High Lords Council, this is also the highest-level envoy flag, representing that this person comes in the name of the High Lords Council.
Behind them are the guards and attendants holding swords and shields. They all still wear ancient golden armor, imitating the style of the Imperial Guard, giving the envoys the power similar to the Throat of the Emperor.
When the music ended, Faisal just happened to walk in front of the group, which was the result of careful calculation.
Silence began to spread. Faisal looked at this space warrior who was much taller than himself. He could control the distance between the two and avoid the humble posture of looking up too much.
Soshyan was also looking back at him with black eyes. On both sides of the team, the Terminators stood motionless, with their shields raised in front of them and their spears pointed at the sky.
In the first row of the team were the Chapter Masters or representatives of each Chapter. Lysander, who was wearing yellow armor, remained motionless. Feisal knew this distinguished First Captain of the Imperial Fists. Next to him was Seth, the tear-jerker.
The Fleshman wears a helmet, but a low hissing sound can be vaguely heard when he breathes, which is threatening. Then there is Titus, the ranger warrior. This Chapter Master has concerns and curiosity in his eyes, and he is obviously interested in Terra.
The envoys were full of distrust, and then came the Star Dragon and other battle groups that arrived later.
The second row is the company commanders and command of the Astral Knights, and the third and fourth rows are human officers.
The battle was not small, but because they were all military personnel, the atmosphere was filled with a sense of solemnity.
This meeting disrupted Faisal's plans from the beginning. He couldn't figure out what Soshyan was going to do, so the silence continued.
"I, Soshyan Alexei, on behalf of all the soldiers of the expeditionary force, welcome with the most sincere emotions, the messenger from Holy Terra, His Excellency Faisal Hussein Abdullah."
Soshyan finally spoke, and his voice was surprisingly gentle, unlike all the Astartes Feisal had ever seen.
After Feisal solemnly performed an extremely standard Eagle Salute, he responded in a steady voice:
"In the name of the Holy Throne and the Council of High Lords, I come with loyalty and an oath. All subjects of the Empire must obey. I am His voice here and now."
Soshyan was silent for a moment, looked at the messenger flag, and then lowered his head, half in submission and half in recognition.
"We are Adepts Astartes, and our oath to the Throne and Holy Terra is unquestionable."
Faisal smiled slightly, took off his right glove, and stretched out his hand.
"I have admired my name for a long time, Commander-in-Chief Soshyan Alexei. When I saw him today, he was indeed a majestic and majestic man, a hero among men. He is worthy of being a hero who has defeated the empire's powerful enemies in a row. Please accept my respect."
Soshyan also restrained his serious expression, gently held the other person's hand, and smiled:
"Your arrival is also an honor for everyone in the expeditionary force, please."
Feisal nodded and followed the other party. First he passed through an air corridor and then took an elevator. Originally, he thought that the other party was going to take him to the throne spire and then hold a welcome banquet. This was a relatively normal process.
.
But when he got there, he was dumbfounded.
Soshyan actually took him to a military command center. In fact, he felt something was wrong when he passed through the gate guarded by the Astartes. How could he take a guest to the military camp? Soshyan even took him
Visited the Information Processing Center.
The scene he imagined should be a large group of nobles and imperial bureaucrats waiting for him, as well as the same luxurious banquet, exquisite food, priceless wine, and noble ladies holding folding fans and smiling brightly, rather than a group of faces with faces.
Unseen, murderous Space Marines.
But guests do as they please. He is a guest now, so any arrangements can only be made by Soshiyang, but he has been trying to figure out the other party's intentions.
After passing through a staff hall of thousands of square meters with a huge star map as the center, Soshyan said to him:
"I have something I want to talk to the envoy alone. You must also have a lot to tell me alone. This is my intelligence room, which is absolutely confidential and safe."
Feisal was really a little confused at this moment about Lord Astartes, why he suddenly got involved in secrets. Although he did have something to say to the other party alone, it was obvious that it shouldn't be now, but he hesitated.
After a moment, he turned around and said to his attendants:
"You guys wait outside."
Soshyan also looked at others, including the chapter leaders.
