508, The Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regent! (6)
[In the eyes of many reformists, your decisive and murderous Minotaur Chapter suddenly transformed from the high lord's lackeys to the Black Uncles of the Salamander Chapter who love the people like their own children. This is undoubtedly a very shocking thing.
matter.】
[In the eyes of conservatives, many of your abnormal behaviors have a traceable context. 】
[As an important chess piece of the same camp, they believe that all your actions now are part of the overall plan, not to mention that you have won so much additional support for the conservatives, which is simply a great achievement!]
[So, no matter good or bad, a visit from the Forbidden Army is something you can expect, especially since you have recently had a small conflict over the target. 】
【"hehe……"】
[At this moment, wearing a metal helmet, you subconsciously let out a chuckle. 】
[You looked back and forth through the eyepiece at the Shield Captain Valyrian in front of you.]
["I'm just doing what an Astartes should do." You said to the other party in a low voice. 】
["Moreover, I am just doing what you were supposed to do for the Forbidden Army. If you Forbidden Army really fulfilled their duties, I wouldn't have to appear here!"]
["An extremely ridiculous slander! Be careful with your every word, Chapter Master Astartes! Our Custodes have indeed fulfilled their duties! There has never been any flaw in the task of guarding the Royal Palace of Terra!"]
[Hearing the sarcasm in your words, the outspoken Shield Captain Valyrian subconsciously retorted.]
[However, you suddenly drove the Terminator power armor and took a sudden step forward. 】
[You lowered your metal helmet slightly, stared at the other person and said. 】
["Tsk, do you believe what you say? Do you want me to give you some examples to prove the incompetence of the Imperial Army? Open your eyes and take a look! The times are undergoing unimaginable changes, and the territory of the human empire is also changing.
At stake! In the long period of ten thousand years, I found that not only the number of the Imperial Army has not increased much, but now it seems that they have not even grown their brains!"]
["Astartes! How dare you-"]
[At this moment, the shield captain Valyrian, whose anger was rising, quickly took a few steps back. He instantly raised the imperial spear in his palm, and it seemed that he would launch an astonishing attack on you in the next second.
!]
【boom--】
[Even the forbidden troops who followed him subconsciously formed a battle formation. They quickly surrounded several Sisters of Silence. In a short period of time, almost everyone was ready for battle! 】
[However, just when you are about to pull out the weapons Black Spear and Minotaur Shield from the back of the power backpack to play with the Imperial Guards. 】
[Sister Alaya, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pushed away the tall bodies of the imperial guards. 】
[She first stepped forward and raised her hand to hold down the Guards Captain Valyrian's imperial spear that was always pointed at you, and then turned her eyes in your direction without any emotion. 】
[Then, Sister Silence, who had taken a vow of silence, quickly gestured to everyone in complex sign language.]
["Enough! Valyrian! Have you fed countless years of difficult training and combat experience to Grox? Don't you realize that the other party is deliberately irritating you?!"]
["Dear Chapter Master, Valyrian does not have much understanding of human nature, and he has a straightforward personality and will not understand your machinations. I hope you will not continue to embarrass him."]
[At this moment, Silent Sister Alaya’s sign language gestures caused Shield Captain Valerian to quickly calm down. 】
[He took a deep breath, slowly lowered the spear of the Forbidden Army, and at the same time waved the other Forbidden Army to release their combat readiness.]
["Haha, look, you, a Forbidden Army who has experienced hundreds of battles, are not as smart as a Sister of Silence. This is really...all combat brothers, listen to my command, everyone should disperse!"]
[You shook the metal helmet slightly, and while speaking to the other party, you also raised a ceramic palm and waved it back and forth.]
[The next moment, the Primaris Astartes, numbering close to one hundred and fifty, slowly emerged from the shadows of buildings with a radius of one kilometer or from their hiding places below the ground. 】
[At this moment, you obviously noticed that the other Imperial Guards except Valyrian and several other Sisters of Silence vaguely showed some fleeting emotional changes. 】
[In fact, regardless of the absolute disparity in numbers between the two sides, the bolters in Primaris' hands and the melta weapons specially obtained from the Ministry of Interior were enough to send this Imperial Guard team to meet in one meeting.
The emperor.]
["Captain Moloch, what exactly do you want to do?"]
[The Shield Captain Valyrian, who seemed unmoved by this, was silent for a moment, and he asked you again.]
[Only this time, the other party’s conversation and attitude were obviously much more solemn. 】
["I heard that your Imperial Army has always looked down on us Astartes, so I originally planned to use this small psychological flaw to guide and provoke you to attack me, thus giving me an excuse to detain you, and
This can be used to attract important figures from the Forbidden Army whose positions are important enough..."]
["In other words, I want to use you to get close to Trajan, the commander of the imperial army. I need to have a secret conversation with him without attracting the attention of all parties."]
["Moreover, you people are all frontline personnel fighting on the battlefield of Terra, right? Haven't you noticed the cold waves of Holy Terra surging under the calm water now?"]
["Don't tell me that the duty of the Custodes is to guard the palace. You represent the will of the Emperor himself! As I said, with the return of the Primarch, times have changed. If you Custodes
If you don't try to keep up with the times, one day you will be abandoned by the times and rot inside the palace walls."]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! ["Also, is the Emperor on the Golden Throne important? Of course it is important, after all, it is a star torch guiding the human empire to survive, but
You Imperial Guards should at least open your eyes and look outside the palace! These hive citizens, who have only known the Emperor since birth, are the sparks that maintain the entire human empire!"]
[You took a deep breath and spoke slowly to Shield Captain Valyrian and Silent Sister Alaya in a low and firm voice.]
[Although the rest of the Forbidden Army and the Sisters of Silence also remained silent, it can be predicted from the way the other side lowered their heads in thought that they were obviously also thinking about the words you just said. 】
[It seems that the problem is not that the Imperial Guards have no brains, but that the Shield Captain Valyrian himself has a problem. 】
[At this moment, your eyes are constantly staring at the people in front of you through the helmet eyepiece, and the data stream in your mind simultaneously recalls what happened before. 】
】
[About a month and a half ago, you have successfully used some covert means to secretly meet with Galadon, the third company commander of the Imperial Fists, in the hive.]
[Furthermore, through careful words that the other party could accept, you revealed to Captain Galadon that some high lords were plotting a rebellion and trying to limit the power of Regent Guilliman. 】
[After experiencing a very brief shock, Captain Garadon first confirmed some of the evidence you have, namely the secret orders sent to you by the former Minister of the Interior. ]
[Although these parchments recording communications cannot prove that the other party actually participated in the rebellion, they do gain Captain Garadon's level of trust in the Minotaur Chapter, you, and the whole thing.]
[In other words, in the past period of time, most of the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Fists with the Minotaur Chapter was played out for those who were interested.]
[Of course, in order for everything to unfold smoothly, Captain Garadon did not reveal any information to ordinary Astartes except for a few confidants. ]
[Now, you only need to have a separate meeting with the commander of the Forbidden Army, and successfully gain the other party's trust, then you can be free to do more things.]
[However, in order to take care of the little emotions of the original brother Guilliman, you must continue to play the traitors' pawn until the moment when the high lords think that the outcome is decided and jump out to pick the fruits of victory. 】
[It’s just a small punishment compared to Comrade Regent’s plan to only punish the culprit and maintain the status quo.]
[With ruthless methods, you plan to completely clean up all the background of the conservatives and turn the entire Holy Terra into a super war machine that supports the Indomitable Crusade! 】
