512, Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regent! (10)
[In the ninth month, a proposal you proposed was supported by the Supreme Council of Terra. 】
[That is, the restrictions on the Forbidden Army that caused the high lords to be divided were temporarily lifted. As a result, the Forbidden Army successfully obtained the right to conduct large-scale operations in places other than the Royal Palace of Terra. 】
[Trajan Valoris, the commander of the Forbidden Army, also temporarily joined the twelve-member Council of High Lords and became the thirteenth high lord in the true sense, rather than the previous honorary title without power. 】
[You originally wanted the Terran Council to permanently cancel this ancient regulation, allowing the tentacles of the Emperor's will to extend to more places.]
[But you later discovered that this is the limit of what the reformists can do. Unless you have the special ability to handle the administrative operations of the entire empire overnight, you must learn to compromise, otherwise the reformists will start to oppose you everywhere.
】
【Sometimes, killing can solve problems, but it cannot solve all problems.】
[Finally, in order to maintain the tacit understanding and balance between you, you began to order the Minotaur warband to gradually withdraw from Holy Terra, leaving only a small group of Terminator guards. 】
[At the same time, you also had some small contacts with the Adeptus Mechanicus. 】
[And this also involves the final fate of the conservative casting general. It is said that the other great sage, who had a bad relationship with it, dismantled and dissolved the huge metal body while praying. 】

[Taking this opportunity, your Minotaur warband once again received a lot of precious equipment from the Adeptus Mechanicus.]
[And you also unexpectedly discovered that the Minotaur Chapter's fleet still has the Storm Daughter battle barge that was robbed from the Lamenters Chapter in the Badab War. ]
[You recalled carefully through Moloch's data stream, and then you subconsciously felt that the luck of the Lamenters Chapter did have some special and indescribable problems. 】
[Obviously Chapter Master Foros, through your reminder, tried his best to stay away from the recruitment of Black Heart Huron and avoid contact with the Star Claw Chapter, but due to the influence of various factors, he was treated unreasonably on the way away from the Maelstrom.
The Minotaur Chapter thought they were rebel Astartes trying to escape and launched a gang-hopping attack.]
[Simply, Chapter Master Foros took preventive measures against this situation in advance. The Lamenter Astartes did not suffer many casualties, but the battle barge Daughter of the Storm was still lost. 】
[In the tenth month, you did something else.]
[You filled the entire Storm Lady with two-thirds of the precious equipment from the Adeptus Mechanicus and countless ammunition supplies once again mobilized from the Ministry of the Interior.]
[At the same time, you also gave the current mortal captain of the Storm Daughter a very secret mission. 】
[That is to go to the Ghoul Star Territory as soon as possible, find a strange war group called the Devouring Sharks, and personally deliver the entire battle barge and the ammunition and supplies inside to this war group. If the other party's war group leader asks about these things
The specific origin, then the mortal captain will say a number twenty-two to gain the trust of the man-eating shark.】
[As for why you don’t return the Stormmaiden to the Weeper Chapter.]
[The first is that you can’t find any trace of them at the moment, and the second is that you are worried that after you leave, and Moloch discovers that the battle barge is back in the hands of the Weeper, a greater conflict will easily break out between the two sides. ]
[To be honest, the combat strength of the Lamenters is in the middle of the Astartes, and is still a bit weaker than the Man-Eating Shark Chapter that wanders outside the territory all year round.]
[Also, you have only heard of man-eating sharks robbing others, but you have never seen man-eating sharks being robbed.]
[In the eleventh month, the focus of your mission has shifted from the upper levels of Terra, which is gradually returning to normal, to the civilians of the hive city. 】
[You don’t want to wait until after you leave, and the hive that was finally cleaned will fall to the bottom of pitiful dust again. 】
[According to your more in-depth analysis and investigation, Holy Terra is actually not suitable to be a hive world. Its own personnel load cannot bear so many hive civilians, because there is no output at all, only eternal life.
Endless consumption.]
[This also leads to the fact that once there are problems with the transportation routes from other star regions to Terra, countless Terran people will starve and be exploited by cultists or heretics. 】
【So, you want to try your best to change this situation.】
[However, in the face of hundreds of billions of people in the hive city, even if you get dual support from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Interior, it will be difficult to shake this terrifying situation. 】
[Even if the Terra Hive itself is the recruitment location for various war groups and various troops, the carefully selected selection system will not have much effect.]
【In the end, you had to make a very cold and difficult decision.】
[Since it is impossible to reduce expenditure, then find a way to increase revenue. 】
[In the twelfth month, you began to use your potential reputation and influence in the major hive cities to truly recruit a hive city astral army.]
[And these Hive City recruits who have only undergone simple training and whose only purpose is to fill the battlefield will form a special system that everyone on Holy Terra knows well, that is, they can use this to consume Terra.
Pull out the excessive population above.]
[However, your decision has successfully gained more support from the Supreme Council of Terra and the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Indomitable Crusade launched by Regent Guilliman will fill every inch of land recaptured and victory achieved.
The blood, flesh and tears of countless Terran people.]
[The thirteenth month is when you are enduring the torture of your conscience alone.]
[Trajan, the commander of the imperial army, came to visit again.]
[This time, he sent you a solemn invitation without hesitation, hoping that you can follow him to the throne room to prove your noble identity as the original body. 】
[You were in a depressed state and wanted to refuse immediately, but then you saw Trajan’s resolute face that had no emotion and was full of scars. 】
[You instantly understood that this was not a request from the commander of the imperial army at all, but a decree issued by the ‘lord’ sitting on the golden throne. 】
[You took a deep breath and slowly drove the Terminator Power Armor to stand up. 】
[At this moment, Trajan, the commander of the imperial army, nodded slightly to you, then turned around and walked outside. 】
[And you also drove the Terminator power armor and followed.]
[You did not carry the Black Spear and the Minotaur Shield with you, because you are about to meet the Lord of Humanity who has struggled to maintain the Human Empire for ten thousand years...]
