Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 269 257. Memories of the past ([-])
"No small loyalty will be forgotten, no small betrayal will be forgotten."

In the majestic palace, Astartes in gorgeous robes curled up in his laboratory and couldn't help weeping.

Just now, Usotan, the commander of the Fourth Legion of Thunder Warriors, led his soldiers here.At the same time, there was another person, Imperial Justice Uwoma.

They decided to carry out a crazy plan, which was to stage a coup and overthrow the Emperor's rule.

As early as half a month ago, the Emperor defeated the last warlord on Terra in the final battle of unity. At the same time, his Custodes also joined the battle.

But when the battle ended, the Emperor's Custodes began executing some of the militants of the Second and Third Legions who had participated in the battle.In this tragic battle, tens of thousands of Thunder Warriors were killed, and the remaining ones were disarmed and ordered to leave the Imperial Army.

Although this incident was a part of the Thunder Warriors who had already planned it for a long time and launched a rebellion among the top leaders, it did arouse the concern of the leader of the Fourth Army. Usotan launched a coup without hesitation under such thoughts.

Their political goal was simple: to kill Malcador and the commander of the imperial army, Waldo, who was in the palace. At the same time, they occupied the palace, forced the emperor to hand over power, and established a parliament to rule this new human regime.

Although the Astartes hate the current Emperor very much, because now this guy only has endless anger and hatred, and his previous emotions and humanity seem to have disappeared in that terrible incident.No one can continue to persuade him, not even Erda, especially after Erda scattered all his sons across the galaxy, the Emperor is not even willing to see his companions who have been through life and death again, except for Malcador, He didn't want to look at anyone.

But the Astartes also knew very well how powerful the Emperor was. They had no way to defeat him. The Thunder Warriors who relied closely on the Fourth Legion had no way to defeat the Imperial Palace's Imperial Army, let alone this. There is also a new generation of genetic warriors inside.

But the commander who had been carried away did not want to pay attention to everything the researcher of the palace sanctuary said. He gave two options, either to die or to join this rebellion.

The Astartes chose the latter.

She explained the location of Malcador, the weapons layout of the palace, and also asked her guards to join the battle.

Sure enough, two hours later, the result of the war came.At first, the plan of the Thunder Warriors was very successful. They quickly broke into the palace and saw Malcador sitting next to the golden throne (which was not a toilet at this time). However, what they did not know before was that The Emperor himself sat beside him on the golden throne.

This scene far exceeded their expectations, but the crazy Usotan decided to fight to the death. He ordered his Thunder Warriors to charge.In front of them, there were only a few hundred forbidden troops, which gave the Thunder Warriors false expectations of victory and began to attack.

However, what these warriors did not know, and what the Astartes did not tell them, was that there were not only the hundreds of forbidden troops stationed here (at this moment, most of the Golden Corns were still maintaining order across Terra) , and the soldiers of the First Legion.

These soldiers wearing black MK2 and MK3 power armor quickly defeated the attack of the Thunder Warriors with their explosive weapons and melta weapons. Under the cover of the Astartes and the Astartes' professional tactical level operation, they still successfully strangled the rebellion of the Thunder Warriors.After the battle, a large number of Thunder Warriors were killed, and a small number were captured and disarmed. What awaited them was the trial of the Imperial Court.The initiator of the rebellion, Ussotan, was executed by the Marshal of the Imperial Army, Valdocon Standing. The justice was pardoned because Malcador and the emperor missed the old relationship, but he was relieved of all powers and demoted to a commoner.

Among them, the most troublesome thing is the Astartes.Although Lady Astartes was not found at the scene of the rebellion, her personal guards did appear here, so she is suspected of rebellion.

When Malcador reported the incident to the Emperor, the Lord of Mankind fell silent.Malcador looked at his old friend in front of him, and asked carefully
"What should we do now? My lord. To be honest, it is very likely that Astartes has escaped, but if we are willing, we should be able to intercept her before she leaves the earth."

The lord of mankind with a resolute face, after being silent for a few seconds, finally said calmly

"If it's really Astarte's deliberate act...forget it! It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, just let her be!"

But at this moment, the Imperial Guards shouted in shock that it turned out that the Astartes' research institute and the Imperial Palace Sanctuary were now on fire.Although the fire brigade was dispatched, there was still no way to extinguish the flames. Only Malcador and the Emperor understood that this was a flame coming from the depths of their souls.

The Astartes had no face to face the Lord of Mankind, and could not imagine what kind of sentence the Emperor would impose on him.Although no matter what kind of mistakes they made, the Emperor was very tolerant of those companions who had accompanied him through countless years.

But Astartes could not forgive himself, let alone imagine what his life would be like in the future.

She didn't want to see the Emperor's disappointed expression, nor did she want to see his sad and despairing expression.Although this matter was not her original intention, what excuse did he have to comfort King Di Bai who had become lonely and cold in his heart?
From the perspective of this former country girl, the only thing she can do is to use her own death to make herself feel better, and maybe make the other person feel better too, without making this matter too embarrassing.

Looking at the blazing fire, the hurried lord of mankind looked at the collapsing Gothic buildings and didn't know what to say.Waldo looked at the scene in front of him and said happily
"Fortunately, we have successfully transferred all the data before this. In this way, although the self-immolation of Astartes will bring a lot of trouble to our future research, there will not be too many problems. …”

"... "

The emperor listened to her commander's words and didn't say anything. She stared at the building in front of her with her own eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. She moved her hands and wanted to do something. What, but put down his hand again.

He could feel the pain of the Astartes, and he could also feel the other person's soul leaving the body and integrating into the coldness of the endless void.

The lord of mankind stood together in front of the burning building, until it was reduced to ashes, he said sadly
"May we meet in hell, my old friend, the Astartes..."
