506, The Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regency! (4)
[Based on your understanding of many information about Holy Terra.]
[On Holy Terra today, if we do not take into account the hundreds of billions of ordinary people and officials of all sizes, the only upper-class nobles can be simply divided into three factions. 】
[With regard to whether they support the abolition of the prohibition on military restrictions, those who support the abolition are the reformers, those who do not support the abolition are the conservatives, and the rest are the centrists who do not want to do anything.]
[Representatives of the conservatives are the former Minister of the Interior, a Martian Casting General who was so huge that it required eight cranes to move, the former Pope of the State Church, the Marshal of the Ministry of Justice, the Grand Master of the Assassin's Court, the Director of the Star Torch Hall, etc.
Waiting for several predecessors or current high lords.】
[Among them, the one who jumps the most is undoubtedly the former Minister of the Interior who summoned your Minotaur Chapter to prepare for the Emperor's "Qing Jun". He is also one of the first targets you plan to eliminate. 】
[And the representative figure of the reform faction is the master of the Star Language Hall.]
[The only Alpha-level psyker in the Human Empire needs two untouchables to suppress his psychic power all year round to prevent him from accidentally burning others. It was he who fought side by side with the returned Guilliman and figured it out.
The Black Legion's conspiracy to besiege Terra, and it is said that filling the Golden Throne with psykers is also something that this Lord is responsible for managing.】
[In addition, the Navigator Envoy is a radical among the reformists. He advocates the abolition of all ancient dogmas that hinder the empire's war potential. If necessary, he is one of the supporters that you, the original body, can win over. 】
[The rest, such as the spokesperson of the Chartered Merchant Marine Corps, the Lord Admiral of the Imperial Navy, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Parliament, the new Pope of the State Church, the new Minister of the Interior, etc. are all reformists.]
[Of course, there are also middle-centers such as the Mechanicus Order, the Inquisition, and the Knight Family, which have never intervened between the two sides. 】
[As for force, let’s not talk about the Imperial Guard stationed on Terra for the time being. The Imperial Fists and the Royal Palace Guards, plus your Minotaur battle group, are the effective force on Holy Terra that can determine everything.]
[This is one of the reasons why you gave a parchment recording the Chapter's hidden communication channel to the Captain of the Third Company of the Imperial Fists.]
[As long as you can unite the Custodes and the Imperial Fists to give you the necessary assistance, you can feel free to cleanse Terra's bureaucracy. 】
[Unfortunately, you are not here in person this time, otherwise everything could develop more smoothly. 】
[However, if a lost Primarch returns to the Human Empire, the ripples caused may be even more serious than when Guilliman returned. 】
[At this moment, a low-level official suddenly appeared and blocked your entire advancing team.]
[You drive the Terminator armor forward and look down at the opponent through the helmet eyepiece. ]
[The junior official first nervously licked his chapped lips, and then tremblingly handed you a bundled parchment roll.]
[After you took it and opened it, there was a transfer order from the former Minister of the Interior. ]
[You sneered slightly, then turned around and ordered a hundred Primaris Astartes to follow the lower-level officials in front of you to a hidden location to provide 'personal protection' to the members of the conservative faction. 】
["Chapter Master, you, shouldn't you go in person?" The lower-level official saw that only a hundred Astartes were separated into queues, and he subconsciously asked your tall back in confusion. ]
["Tell that adult, I'm very busy right now." You said without looking back. 】
[In fact, compared to immediately clearing out those high lords who instigated rebellion. 】
[Your most urgent task right now is to eliminate the ravages of many cults and save the ordinary civilians trapped in the hive.]
[Soon after, you quickly led four companies of Primaris to the previously scheduled location. 】
[And the public appearance of a large number of Astartes on the streets of Terra has really caused panic and disgust among many ordinary people. 】
[To a certain extent, the ordinary civilians of Holy Terra have never escaped from the sense of crisis brought about by the Horus Heresy.]
[This is also the real reason why you lead a group of Primaris recruits instead of veterans of the Chapter.]
[Compared to the ruthless killing machines that have been on the battlefield for a long time, the newly released Primaris with some human touch may be one of the ways to reduce the disgust and resentment of the Terran people. 】
[Through the eyepiece of your helmet, you glanced at the ordinary civilians hiding in the shadows of the buildings around you one by one, with stubborn expressions but shabby clothes. Compared with the people who were cruelly sacrificed by the cultists in the Battle of Lions Gate, and those who were killed by
The tragic war destroyed a large number of innocent civilians. These people are undoubtedly lucky.】
[But they are also unfortunate at the same time, because except for the lord of mankind who is trapped on the Golden Throne and suffering extreme pain, there are very few people in the entire Holy Terra who really care about their life and death. 】
["I am Moloch, Chapter Master of the Minotaur Chapter. Now I am called and ordered by the Emperor to quell the chaos of the cult on Holy Terra. We are the Emperor's angels of death, and we are the only ones you can trust.
The savior!"]
[You said loudly to the ordinary people around you in a low voice.]
[However, maybe your killing aura as an Astartes is too strong, or maybe your voice is a little louder.]
[In short, your brief speech did not achieve much effect. On the contrary, many ordinary people looked at you with more vigilance. 】
[You thought for a moment and quickly changed your strategy between words.]
["Do you want clean fresh water and endless food?"]
[You suddenly spoke to the people around you.]
[At this moment, you can clearly see that most ordinary civilians are subconsciously swallowing their saliva.]
[Holy Terra is a hive world, not an agricultural or industrial world. The living conditions of most ordinary people here are even far more difficult and worse than those of hive workers on many planets. 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! ["We can discuss the issue of cultists later. Now, I need you to tell me where the hive gangs who always bully you are!"]
[You shook the metal helmet slightly and asked loudly to the people around you in as gentle a voice as possible.]
[At this moment, some people obviously hesitated for a moment, while others were stunned for a moment, and then their foreheads were instantly covered with cold sweat.]
[At this moment, a skinny boy with a frown on his face tremblingly raised a withered little hand covered with dirt, and asked in a low voice in your direction: "I know the locations of many gangs in the hive city...
Lord Angel, can I get some extra food and fresh water?"]
[You turned the metal helmet violently, and quickly drove the Terminator armor forward, looking down at the opponent's head that was slightly deformed due to malnutrition. ]
[In an instant, all ordinary civilians within a radius of 100 meters, except for the skinny boy, quickly retreated backwards as if they were avoiding the god of plague. 】
[Wearing a metal helmet, you took a deep breath, your whole huge metal body slowly knelt down on one knee, and then gently put the trembling skinny boy on the side of your ceramite arm, and raised it to
The top of the thick shoulder armor.]
["Let's go! Let's go grab other people's food and fresh water together!"]
[You turned the metal helmet slightly and spoke softly to the skinny boy with a dull expression. ]
["Remember, everyone, this is just a small appetizer!"]
[‘The Minotaur is coming! There will be peace in Holy Terra! The Minotaur is coming! The Emperor’s angels are here!’]
["All Astartes, follow me to attack!"]
[At this moment, as the skinny boy you carried on the thick shoulder armor showed a brilliant smile of great excitement for the first time, the numb expressions of countless Terran people loosened, and the depths of their cold eyes seemed to be rekindled.
The fire called hope!]
[Perhaps, this Lord Angel of the strange Astartes Chapter is different! 】
