Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 98 92. Conclusion under the high wall
The two high lords watched the first captain of the Imperial Fists leave, and finally the two began to walk forward.This time, the High Lords Council held an unusual meeting in the main council hall. Once this conference room is opened, it can directly seat nearly 50 people, so a meeting here may take half a month.

Usually meetings are held at door No. 13 next to it. There are [-] people meeting together in a small room, but it is not only quiet, but also relatively efficient.

At this time, people may ask: The efficiency seems pretty good, but why is the Human Empire still so inefficient in Warhammer 40k?Because if there are only a dozen planets to manage, there is no big problem with this model, but if there are millions of planets or even tens of millions of planets to manage, it will be a big problem.Especially without the participation of artificial intelligence, it is simply a nightmare.

When the two high lords walked into the huge conference hall, they found that they were the first to arrive.Under the huge dome, the entire conference hall is distributed in a spiral like an ancient Colosseum.The 12 high lords who decided the human empire gathered in the innermost circle, and his officials continued to sit outside according to their own rank. The entire conference hall was large enough to seat a full 50 people.

After the two high mountain masters took their seats, they were waiting for the arrival of others. No.3 High Lord is the Minister of Justice, Augustin Dume, who came over shortly after they started talking. This man wearing gray European-style armor and a mustache was escorted by his bodyguards and held hands tightly. The sword symbolizing his power came in.When the Grand Inquisitor saw him coming in, he immediately nodded to him. After all, these were his only two true allies in the entire Council of High Lords.

Another half hour later, Navigator representative Jean-Philippe Gbamin arrived here together with a young woman who was the newest member of the high-ranking lords, Rogue Trader representative Ben Zhai Ma.Two women wearing gorgeous silk robes came here while talking.

Less than four minutes later, the Grand Master of the Assassin Court, Ivan Ragusa, who had always been a loner and unusually silent, arrived here like a ghost.Because the Assassin's Court once caused a bloody storm among the High Lords Council, few people dared to associate with him.Moreover, this silent and terrifying person does not like to develop his own interpersonal relationships. Only the Grand Inquisitor occasionally communicates with him due to work issues.

The Ghost of the Assassin's Court After a cup of coffee, the fat and carefree Supreme Admiral Watt Falman walked into the hallowed halls together with the Minister of the Interior Peter Perry.Apparently, the Minister of the Interior met this fat, talkative man on the road.

And judging from the expression on this adult's face, he didn't want to talk about anything to this aristocratic admiral, because he had no interest in the aristocratic scandals he was talking about.

Although the Minister of the Interior's body is in the High Hall of the High Lords Council, his mind may be thousands of light years away.The poor Minister of the Interior has no time for himself, because he needs to deal with almost all important things in the entire empire. This also leads to the fact that although the Minister of the Interior has undergone various surgeries second only to the casting general of the Mechanicus, the average Its lifespan is less than 200 years.

Just as the Minister of the Interior and the Admiral had just pulled out the gorgeous ivory-legged chairs, the Martian Forge General arrived pulsing dozens of his huge mechanical tentacles.Like most people before him, he came with others, but this time it was Lucius's founding general who followed him.Obviously, Lucius, a relatively reliable ally of Mars, suffered huge losses in this expedition. The arrival of General Lucius's forging must be for the expedition.

As the servitors used a crane to help the two Forge Generals move into their seats, the most disliked person in the entire High Lords Council arrived, at least in the eyes of the Grand Inquisitor: the Astropath representative Hubert Leifer.Because he really couldn't stand the way he and his fellow Riddlers talked. Every time it was his turn to speak, he could speak for more than two hours!

Following this nuisance is Manyi Mohammed of the Star Torch Hall. This psyker is much better than his other neurotic compatriot in the High Lords Council. After all, he has to do it. There are really many things.

Finally, when there were only four minutes left before the meeting, the pope of the state church, Aoife Dawe, and the battle nun, Tida Russell, arrived here, surrounded by a group of state church acolytes and a large group of little angels.According to the gossipy Admiral Falman, these two might be having an affair.

As for the last commander of the Imperial Army?Hmm... maybe in the palace... Autistic?God knows, these emperor's most loyal warriors have not left the palace for ten thousand years. In fact, no one knows what state they are in the palace.But in the eyes of the Grand Inquisitor, any group of people, no matter how loyal they are, may have some heretical thoughts after being bored in the palace for 1 years.

Other officials also came here at the same time as these adults entered the venue one after another.When the ancient bell hanging in the parliament hall rang again, a dozen little angels flew across the sky dragging agarwood, moisturizing the air here.

Lord Guilliman (job title), a good old man who has never been revealed, the director of the Imperial General Archives, and one of the 12 high lord councilors, Barry Goode stood in the center of the entire venue.He gently stepped on the marble pedal under his feet, and the leader's seat quickly flew up under the action of the anti-gravity device.

"Everyone, we are gathered here to discuss the disastrous failure of the Second Damocles Expedition not long ago. We must analyze the reasons for our failure in this battle! At the same time, we must hold some characters accountable!" The Great Trial After hearing what he said, the officer exchanged glances with the Marshal of the Astral Army next to him. He pressed the anti-gravity button with understanding, and his seat floated up.

The Grand Inquisitor was the first to say
"Everyone! According to the Inquisition's investigation during the battle, the expeditionary force represented by the Raven Guard Chapter made great contributions! They resisted the alien attack tenaciously and resolutely, but in the end they failed because the enemy was outnumbered."

"It's not because of their mistakes at the tactical level, but because of the level of support in the local star sector, which can almost be said to be completely non-existent!"

Hearing the words of the Grand Inquisitor, Chang immediately burst into an uproar and began to whisper.The Marshal of the Astra Militarum also immediately added fuel to the fire
"I also learned from the expeditionary force that the troops given to them by the local planet governor and the star district government were all a bunch of guys who were trying to make up their numbers! Among them, some of them were civilians and even heinous criminals not long ago, but they were forcibly packed and given away. This not only seriously slowed down the expeditionary force, but also caused changes in a large number of planets.

I think those governors and officials who do bad things must be severely punished! "

The Minister of the Interior, who was silent below, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this.OK!You didn’t mention a single word about the navy’s standstill, but you revealed everything about the planet’s local government.And isn’t it common for civilians and criminals to be used as highly effective mobilization troops in war stations?Why did it come to your place that it turned out to be just a fake?
Ever since, the Minister of the Interior had no intention of making any concessions, and immediately started the anti-gravity engine and flew up.

"You two! What you said makes perfect sense, and I also got some news from the expeditionary force. The local navy has not joined the battle. Show me that the navy also needs to make some statement!"

When the fat admiral heard this, he chuckled, lightly stamped his feet and flew up, and replied calmly.

"How could I not know these things? You can rest assured that the Minister of the Interior, the local negligent naval officers and even the fleet command have all been dealt with in accordance with the laws of the empire. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Minister of Justice. They are all on trial. They confessed to the Emperor under the supervision of the court."

The Minister of Justice below heard this and nodded, agreeing with what he said.But no one seemed to notice that when the Admiral said this, the expressions of the Ecclesiarch and the Battle Sister were a little wonderful.

The Forge General from Mars also speaks below
"Based on the combat experience of our first two expeditions, the enemy's threat level has risen from a "problem" to a "small-scale threat" and must be dealt with as soon as possible."

After these big people spoke, the relatively small people also started their own speeches.With the speeches of representatives from all parties, the Director of the Archives finally made a conclusion
"The High Lords Council has officially passed the agreement. In the future, troops will be drawn to form the third Damocles Gulf Expedition to conduct the third expedition. At the same time, the Tribunal will strengthen its penetration of alien territory. The Assassin's Court will be responsible for the assassination of enemy leaders. The Adeptus Mechanicus forge world will compensate the damaged Astartes Chapter. At the same time, authorized by the Ministry of Interior and dispatched by the Ministry of War, four fortress worlds will be identified there. , completely blocking the main subspace channels leading to the outside world to prevent the continued spread of enemy forces."

This meeting is officially over. "

Finally the ancient sun once again disappeared from the horizon of Holy Terra, and the bill was officially signed.

A new war is brewing, but it remains to be seen whether this revenge can bear new fruits.
