Chapter 8 The End of the Farce and Gavins’ Troubles
"I'm afraid the outcome of the matter will not change, but it shouldn't be what you expected. And to us, the friendship of the Sutherland family is not as valuable as you think!"
Following this sudden speech, a forbidden soldier wearing golden armor stepped in from the open door outside the hall.
Calvin raised his eyebrows. Although this was not the Titan base where he was located, within a short period of time after allowing a mortal to enter at will, there was another envoy of the Imperial Army who was also an uninvited guest, although he had obvious good intentions.
Break in.
This could not help but make him question the ability of his guard leader Gavins. But now was not the time to care about these details, so Calvin did not express his opinion on this. He just turned his head and looked at Gavins standing next to him.
Vince, who also seemed a little anxious because he discovered flaws in his work.
Although there are various reasons, for example, the Gray Knights have never possessed a Primarch in the past, so the Chapter Champions have no experience as an Honor Guard. But Gavins does not intend to defend himself. The honor and consciousness of a warrior
Let him understand that there has never been a winner who only asked where the gun was on the battlefield.
So when his eyes met Calvin's questioning eyes, the unmistakable apology satisfied the latter. At least the former's attitude made Calvin understand that these proud champions' sense of honor for their duties is worthy of him
trust.
After entering the room, the envoy of the Forbidden Army walked towards the crowd. After seeing Calvin sitting behind the desk, it was customary for this noble envoy to represent the will of the throne room as long as he appeared outside the core area of the palace. This was rare.
He stopped and took the lead in nodding to Calvin 5 meters away.
Matthews, who was already interrupted by the prominence of the forbidden soldier, was even more horrified by the significance of this scene.
This kind of etiquette detail allowed Matthews, an indigenous nobleman of Terra who was already known for his red tape, to sensitively receive information that was completely inconsistent with his knowledge. At the same time, this information combined with his current situation
, a huge sense of crisis began to arise in his heart.
"There must be something wrong." Matthews thought.
The reason for the error is no longer important now, but the result of the error is that he made a serious, even fatal, fallacy in his assessment of the influence of the side represented by Calvin in Terra.
When beating a dog, you still have to look at the owner. What if the person you hit is not the dog, but the owner? What if the owner happens to be an evil dragon?
Matthews, who had not yet figured out how to end it, was still standing there thinking anxiously, when the messenger from the throne took up what he had just said and looked at the smallest person in the room, both in terms of power and actual size.
Matthews said:
"Mortal, your trouble has arrived! Instead of thinking about the future of your relatives, it is better to take the time to worry about your family."
After saying this, the imperial envoy turned to look at Calvin:
"Good day, messenger from Titan, I bring goodwill from Marshal Trajan. This small matter has been solved, don't worry about it. Lord Trajan asked me to bring a message before I left. If the opportunity comes,
If it suits you, please be sure to go to the throne room to meet."
After saying that, the imperial guard nodded to Calvin again, then turned around and left, never once again looking at the mortal who was so frightened by his words that he fell to the ground.
The scene has returned to its original quietness, but unlike before, the situation between the two sides may never return to its original state.
When Calvin, who was also surprised, had just sorted out the situation at the scene and had no time to speak, someone broke in again outside the unclosed door.
Calvin's eyebrows raised again and again. He looked at Gavins beside him with some teasing, and the latter's face was already as blood-red as the curtains behind him. On this day, I think this will be the first time for this former high-level paladin to change careers.
The longest day in my life after becoming the leader of the Guard.
The new uninvited guest was a young woman wearing tight-fitting black ceramic armor. She appeared at the door of the living room with two stormtroopers armed with live ammunition.
After signaling to Calvin and others in the room, the woman walked in slowly, swaying with rhythmic steps.
In contrast to her sexy figure, the bolter on her waist and the mechanical eye on her head occupying half of the space on her forehead all indicate that she comes from some powerful unit, and the blood-red Roman numeral "1" on the shoulder armor and the center of the number
The sacred skull also attests to this information.
After bowing to Calvin and performing the Aquila Ceremony, she said to Calvin: "I have brought the help of the Inquisition out of the goodwill of Lord Stadler Northumberland, the current Lord of the Inquisition of Terra."<
/p>
After getting permission from Calvin, the subordinate of the high-ranking judge turned his head to look at Matthews who was slumped on the ground, read out his name word by word, and began to briefly describe his crimes and the results of the trial.
:
"Matthews de Sutherland, former Imperial First Class Sir. You are accused of using the sacred authority granted to you by the Empire to seek benefits for your family that should not belong to you! After verification, you have exceeded your authority and mobilized the Star Torch without authorization.
The whereabouts of the court members interfered with the operation of the empire's confidential institutions and harmed the core interests of the empire. After emergency deliberation and decision by the High Lords Council: you will be sentenced to death, immediately! And your family will have all property confiscated, and all family members will be exiled to
Far Eastern Star Territory. All past honors related to Sutherland will be recovered, and the family coat of arms of the Sutherland family that has been hung in the Imperial Senate since the 33rd millennium will be permanently revoked."
After saying that, she waved to the stormtroopers waiting at the door, and the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time walked in, picked up the limp object from both sides of Matthews, who had been completely disabled, and dragged him
They walked out. The woman also bowed and stepped back after saluting again, and finally disappeared at the door of the living room. It wasn't until their footsteps were far away that the screams came from Lord Matthews, the former First Class Sir of the Empire.
It rang belatedly:
"Wait! I have made contributions to the empire! I have shed blood for the Ministry of the Interior! I want to see the Prime Minister! Let me see that the Prime Minister is a lord..."
"Boom!...Boom!" The sound of bolt gun execution sounded outside, and the two subsequent shots fully proved the high professional quality of the Inquisition personnel, who are worthy of being the first among all departments in Terra. p>
The sunshine at noon was just right, and a warm breeze blew gently in from the terrace. The green plants used for decoration in the house and the tassels on the curtains gently catered to the caress of these breezes. When the quiet atmosphere returned to the living room, it seemed that
He was also telling Calvin that it was time to bring an end to this extraordinary farce.
Calvin stretched his body backwards in a relaxed manner, and glanced left and right at the paladins on both sides, indicating that they could also relax appropriately from his tense posture that had been tense all afternoon.
But before the two paladins could respond, heavy footsteps sounded again in the corridor. The three people, who were very sensitive to the weight of this level, immediately understood the approximate identity of the person. In the thirty-ninth imperial calendar
Today, thousands of years ago, the only people who can wear a set of Mark series power armor and come to the place where Calvin lives at this time are those who are ridiculed as "stone men" among the brothers because of their excessive discipline.
"The Imperial Fist.
As one of the backgrounds of this incident, although Calvin would never believe that a proud son like Donne would do such a despicable thing. But since he has already been involved in it, it has nothing to do with right or wrong.
They should all have an explanation for Calvin, who was innocently affected. This is also a basic respect for each other, and has nothing to do with identity or background.
Calvin also expected that the other party would make compensation for this incident that satisfied Calvin at another appropriate time, but he did not expect that it would come so quickly.
It seems that the upright character originated from the Primarch Dorne is really flowing in the blood of every son of Dorne. The explanation for the innocent people affected by him may be in the eyes of these sons of Dorne.
It’s true that every extra minute of delay is another point of torture for them.
Calvin, who had been visited rashly four times in a row in one morning, twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly. At this moment, being able to avoid rolling his eyes was the greatest manifestation of his strengthening of his psychological quality since he became a Gray Knight.
He turned his head and looked at Gavins who had given up struggling and said:
"After today, I will have a complete reflection meeting with all the brothers in the Guard on your dereliction of duty today. I think you should have no objection to this."
