505, Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regent! (3)
[Accompanied by the roar of countless displacement engines.]
[Thunderhawk transport planes carrying Primaris Astartes slowly left the hangar deck, quickly flew into the icy void, and sped towards the airport of Holy Terra. 】
[About half of the veterans of the chapter have been left by you on the Force of Daedalus flagship. Once your order is given, they will jump gangs or drop dead on the attack target you selected. 】
[Not long after, you accidentally looked through the port window of the transport plane and saw the Imperial Fists home world, which looked very majestic from the outside. The Phalanx was as huge as a planetary fortress. 】
[Unfortunately, the current Phalanx has not yet been fully repaired from the damage caused by the Battle of Cadian. Most of the parts are in dire straits and are still covered with a large amount of horrific battle damage visible to the naked eye. 】
[Then, for the first time, you saw the Holy Terra not far away with great clarity, as well as the human wonders, the Imperial Palace, that could almost be overlooked from space. 】
[This huge building complex, based on the Himalayas and covering the entire plateau, silently records the difficult history of tens of thousands of years of human struggle to survive and the sacrifice of countless blood and tears, as well as the glorious achievements of the human empire. 】
[This is the throne world and home world of mankind, and it is also the most sacred and respectable place among millions of empire planets. 】
[If there is no unexpected situation, billions of pilgrims will continue to flow towards Holy Terra every moment. They hope to see the ancient statues of the Emperor and the Sons of God, kneel down in large numbers of national religion temples, and enjoy the beauty from the stars.
The close-up illumination of the torch light.】
[To a certain extent, this planet is simply a holy place in the hearts of countless devout believers that cannot be defiled by any existence.]
[At the same time, Holy Terra is also the hellish home of hundreds of billions of hive civilians.]
[As the largest hive city in the entire human empire, the living environment of mortals outside of the Terra Palace and various bureaucratic administrative agencies. 】
[With the continuous division of classes, the poor conditions of those at the bottom of the class are probably far beyond your imagination.]
[At this moment, as the data flow in your mind was spinning back and forth, you suddenly realized something.]
[Guilliman, who has no time to care about Holy Terra, needs to personally command the Indomitable Crusade in order to regain most of the empire's territory that has lost the light of the Star Torch. ]
[And the Supreme Council of Lords of Terra, which was supposed to shoulder many heavy responsibilities, is now treacherous, and everyone has their own little calculations. 】
[They would rather stand on a high place and watch the fire from the other side than take action to rectify Terra, which is now in chaos.]
[Because neither heretics nor cultists can really break into the palace walls, they can only continue to wreak havoc in the home of the people of Terra. 】
[But you will never stand by and watch, whether it is the people of Terra who are suffering from the disaster or the high lords who have betrayed the Emperor's trust and sacrifice. ]
[With your character and behavior, you will never watch something happen again!]
[Perhaps Regent Guilliman has already made some clever plans and made all the preparations secretly. 】
[He can barely suppress the conservative rebellion by relying on the reformist power within the high lords, but this kind of power struggle from the top often ignores the people at the lowest level. 】
[And this is a duty that you, the original body, will never forget, and it may be one of the reasons why you are here at this moment. 】
["Tsk, should we say that the Emperor really knows how to make the best use of everything, or is she omniscient and omnipotent?" You sighed slowly and withdrew your gaze from Holy Terra. ]
[As time continues to pass, Thunder Eagle transport planes successfully passed through the powerful defense network of Holy Terra and arrived at Lions Gate Airport. 】
[You drove the Terminator power armor expressionlessly and just stepped out of the cabin. Before your magnetic boots landed, a dozen scanning devices from different forces quickly passed over your tall body. 】
[Among them are the necessary precautionary procedures prepared by the Imperial Army and the Imperial Fist, as well as temptations and warnings from more unknown forces. 】
[After all, the Minotaur Chapter is well-known as the high lord's lackeys. Now you are all bad guys in the eyes of any party, good or bad. 】
["I am Captain of the Third Company of the Imperial Fists, Thor Garadon! Dear Minotaur Chapter Master, why did your chapter fleet trespass into the solar system without permission! Don't you know that the Astartes did not summon you to prohibit entry?
Solar system?”]
[At this moment, a Primaris Astartes with short thick hair and gray hair and a face as tight as a rock is walking towards you. 】
[He is wearing a set of specially modified yellow Mark 10 power armor, and a huge power glove called the 'Hand of Resistance' is also placed on the opponent's right hand. ]
[The opponent is none other than Captain Thor Garadon, who has served the longest in the history of the Imperial Fists and has even more legendary combat experience. 】
["The Minotaur Chapter has just suffered a raid by the Death Guard. The battle brothers suffered heavy casualties. The purpose of our coming to Holy Terra is to replenish the necessary gene seeds. Also, if you have not received any information from Terra
According to the order of the Supreme Council, a few hours ago, the entire Sun Fleet and the Phalanx of your Imperial Fist had already intercepted and shot at my fleet!"]
[You took a deep breath and said calmly to the person who was close to Chi Chi.]
[You picked up the brown-red metal helmet from your waist and slowly put it on your head, ignoring Captain Garadon's indifferent gaze.]
["Now, you can get out of the way. Let others bear the power of the Imperial Fist. There will be many times in the future when you will be exhausted!"]
[You quickly raised your arms covered with thick ceramic steel, pulled out the thick and long black spear and the extremely sturdy Minotaur Shield from the back of the power backpack, and held them tightly in your hands.]
[Your sudden movement vaguely aroused Captain Garadon’s irritable behavior.]
【Buzz buzz!】
[The huge power glove on the opponent’s right hand subconsciously made a subtle sound of mechanical friction.]
[However, the Astartes combat teams behind both sides are about to enter combat readiness. 】
[Captain Garadon, who had an indifferent expression, relied on his long-honed strong will and heavy responsibility as a guard of Terra to quickly suppress the desire to fight that was brewing in his heart. ]
["Let go! Let the Minotaur Chapter enter Terra!" Captain Garadon stared at you deeply, and shouted loudly to the Imperial Fists behind him without looking back. 】
["Thank you for your cooperation." You shook the metal helmet slightly and said in a calm tone. 】
[You suddenly took the Minotaur Shield mounted on your left arm and stretched out a ceramite palm towards Captain Garadon in front of you. 】
[The expressionless Captain Garadon first glanced at the solid and thick shield, and then looked at the eyepiece of your helmet. 】
[The next moment, Captain Garadon, who was obviously reluctant, still upheld the courtesy between the battle groups and the friendship of the Astartes, and stretched out his left hand covered with ceramite to you. 】
[With an extremely dull sound of metal collision, the two of you clenched your ceramic palms tightly together.]
【"Um?"】
[At this moment, Captain Garadon’s brows, which had no emotion at all, couldn’t help but twitch.]
[His eyes subconsciously looked at the ceramic palms that the two of you had just released.]
[At this moment, a piece of parchment, only the size of a child's hand, with neatly cut edges, vaguely peeked out from between Captain Garadon's thick fingers. 】
[The other person whose expression changed was about to ask you for the specific reason, but was blocked by your slightly shaking metal helmet. 】
