509, The Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regent! (7)
【The third month, as time goes by.】
[The conflict between the Minotaur Chapter and the Imperial Fists has become more and more obvious and intense. Although the two sides have not come to blows and killed people, it is still common for them to start fighting. 】
[Of course, you and Captain Garadon of the Imperial Fists have a tacit understanding of this, just think of it as an ancient ritual such as a blade feast between the Minotaur and the Imperial Fists. 】
[At the same time, the Iron Fortress Phalanx, which is located in the low-Earth orbit of Terra, also quietly entered a state of combat readiness under the cover of the conflicts you caused from time to time. 】
[And ever since Valyrian, the shield captain of the Imperial Army, left the hive with your request for a secret meeting, he and the Sisters of Silence have been busy investigating the many loose strongholds of the cultists, trying to find out who has commanded countless cultists.
the sole leader.]
[As for what you have been waiting for, there is no news about the secret meeting with Trajan Valoris, the commander of the imperial army, for a long time. ]
[You personally don’t feel a change in your mood. As long as the Minotaur Chapter’s fleet and the Phalanx are still in your hands, it doesn’t matter whether the Forbidden Army’s Ten Thousand Soldiers takes action or whether they stand in line.]
[But afterwards, I’m afraid the Imperial Guard will also be on your primarch’s blacklist. 】
[It has become another imperial force that needs to be vigorously rectified, and the last one to be blacklisted was the Dark Angels Chapter.]
【Soon after, you gradually started to arrange some things.】
[While the Minotaur warband continued to raid and eliminate more cultist strongholds, you also completely intercepted the Ministry of Interior's control over many material transportation channels through some unscrupulous means.]
[Subsequently, you selected many loyal people who were strong and strong and maintained extreme piety from the countless civilians in the hive city. ]
[You used a large amount of weapons and supplies defrauded from the Ministry of Interior to form this group of people into a hive city Star Militarum that is only loyal to the Emperor.]
[You have secretly dispatched these loyal warriors who have only undergone simple training, but will not hesitate to pay the price with their lives when faced with mission targets, to many places in Holy Terra. 】
【You have other important arrangements for them.】
[In the fourth month, the weather in Holy Terra seems to have entered the rainy season. 】
[The pattering of dirty acid rain and the gray fog that enveloped most of the palace area have not dissipated for a long time.]
[At this moment, you, wearing the ancient Terminator powered armor, are walking towards the top of the palace wall along some hidden roads that are only accessible to the Forbidden Army, led by the Shield Captain Valyrian. 】
[You, wearing a gray cloak on a ceramic shell, have just secretly returned from the chaotic battlefield in the southern hemisphere.]
[Today's joint combat teams of the Imperial Fists and the Custodes, with the help of the Imperial Guard and some Astra Militarum, have gradually transformed the battle against the cultists from small-scale stronghold conflicts to collisions on the frontal battlefield. 】
[And this is also due to your series of digging actions, which made the cult sect "Dream Master" that completely lost its popular base in advance also successfully lose the concern of the rebel high lords. 】
【The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.】
[This cult sect that has been ravaging Holy Terra for a long time has lost its sole purpose and will soon become an excuse and stepping stone for conservative forces to suppress reformist forces. 】
【Da da da--】
[With the subtle sound of magnetic boots constantly stepping on the huge stone platform, you, driving the ancient Terminator power armor, successfully climbed to the wall of the palace. 】
[The dirty acid rain that comes with the wind keeps falling on your gray cloak, and also slowly slides down along your metal helmet. 】
[At this moment, Shield Captain Valyrian, who was leading the way for you just now, has completely disappeared from the scope of your eyepiece, as if he has successfully merged with the gray mist that has not yet dissipated. ]
【Kacha!】
[You calmly picked up the Minotaur shield and black spear from the back of the power backpack, holding the weapons and equipment you carried with you tightly in your two ceramite hands. ]
[You think it is impossible for the Imperial Guards guarding the palace to deliberately surround and kill an Astartes Chapter Master, but this does not mean that they really dare not do so.]
["The pride of our Custodes will not allow us to do anything bad to you, Minotaur Chapter Master."]
[At this moment, a cold and stern voice with an indifferent tone suddenly penetrated the gray fog and penetrated into your ears. 】
[You slowly turned your helmet's gaze, and a tall figure wearing a golden power armor and a castle master's helmet walked towards you with heavy but silent steps.]
[The other party's neatly trimmed hair and beard are all white, but the bronze face that looks dignified is covered with very serious old scars. 】
[At this moment, whether it is the other party’s speaking attitude or the terrifying aura of having experienced many battles, they are constantly telling you his true identity. 】
[The seventeenth commander of the imperial army, one of the supreme lords of Holy Terra, Trajan Valoris.]
["It seems that over the years, the Forbidden Army has learned nothing else but the method of bluffing people."]
[You slowly lowered the sharp tip of the black spear, but you did not immediately put away the weapon in your palm.]
["Let's talk to each other... Captain Moloch, I heard that you would rather take the huge risk of being surrounded by the Forbidden Army than meet with me alone."]
[Trajan, who was wearing a golden power armor and the Lord's Helmet, slowly stopped walking. He stood ten meters away from you and asked you. 】
["Trajan, as the commander of the Forbidden Army and the supreme lord, you also control the complex intelligence network that the Forbidden Army has operated for countless years. Don't tell me about the surging undercurrents on Holy Terra. You the Forbidden Army know nothing about it!"]
[Hearing the other party’s inquiry, you couldn’t help but let out a cold snort from inside the helmet and said to the other party.]
["What can you do if you know and don't know? After all, this is the inherent responsibility of the Forbidden Army, and over there is the world that belongs to those mortals..."]
[With a blank expression, Trajan first raised his hand and pointed to the interior of the palace shrouded in gray mist, and then he pointed to the outside of the palace wall.]
["This is simply ridiculous! You Imperial Guards think you represent the emperor's will, but you are completely dismissive of the things she values most. How dare you?" You shook the metal helmet slightly and sneered at the other party.
said.】
["Astartes, pay attention to your identity. This is not something you should question! So never play with fire in front of the imperial army!" At this moment, the expressionless Trajan suddenly raised a covering arm.
With his golden-shelled palm, he quickly placed it on the side of the thick belt, and a few fingertips rubbed a special metal ornament shaped like a shackle.]
["It doesn't matter if you are asking me about your identity. What if I told you now that this strong body of an Astartes was just borrowed from Chapter Master Moloch?" You hesitated for a moment, but still sneered at the other party.
Then he said.]
["Husk, wait! If you are not Moloch, then who are you!" At this moment, the indifferent expression on Trajan's face instantly became serious. 】
[His other palm moved slightly, and a forbidden army power weapon called the Watcher's Ax was pulled out from the back of the Lord's Helm!]
[Obviously, your words caused Trajan to misunderstand something. The other party obviously regarded you as a ghost and god who can possess the Astartes! 】
[However, just when the atmosphere between the two of you gradually became tense, it seemed that a fierce conflict was about to break out in the next second. 】
[The acid rain that was originally pattering in the sky suddenly stopped falling downwards, leaving only traces of water remaining on the ground.]
[Then, a ray of bright golden sunlight suddenly broke through the thick clouds that had not yet dissipated, and hit your tall metal body with great precision!]
["Only in terms of seniority, I and the current Regent of the Human Empire, the returned Primarch Robert Guilliman, are brothers as close as brothers..."]
Change source]
["If you ask me who I am, I can tell you clearly that I am a descendant of the Emperor, a descendant from the void, and the twenty-second primarch of humanity!"]
