Stars for the good Warhammer

Chapter 179 Why did Your Majesty rebel?

As time went by, the various disasters caused by the expansion of the Great Rift still tortured this huge and bloated dying empire all the time. The residents of millions of planets gave out desperate cries, and were eventually eliminated by the continuous war between the stars. Covered by the flames of war.

While those Chaos Demons and Mutant Pirates were still bringing fear to many worlds in the Star Territory, the army led by Guilliman was still busy rushing to various extremely dangerous battlefields.

In this great journey known as the Indomitable, under the witness of the Emperor, hundreds of millions of warriors have shed their blood into the cold void of the universe, into the Each one has witnessed the rise of mankind and represents a land of hope.

But even though this expedition has been going on for a long time, the situation among the stars does not seem to have improved at all. There are still countless battles to fight, and there are still a large number of enemies to face.

Every day the fleet is rushing to a new battlefield. No one knows how long this will last, or whether it will continue forever until the last drop of blood is drained from the human race.

While the Indomitable Crusade was still going on, the situation on Terra, the throne world of the solar system, was equally grim.

After experiencing the baptism of Khorne's army and the Battle of Lion's Gate, this huge hive world is now threatened by the increasingly rampant cult forces. Even though Terra's law enforcers have been deployed in full force, they are facing the threat of possessing In the capital of the empire with a population of trillions, even with the help of the Imperial Guard, the law enforcement officials still feel unprecedented pressure.

There were too many people with ill intentions towards the Empire, and as time went by, what surprised Terra's law enforcers was that these were lurking within the ruins of Terra, and they were supposed to be surviving cult groups. A bit too powerful.

Blatantly confronting the law enforcement groups, creating various catastrophic terrorist activities, even the monastery of the Silent Sisters built on the moon was attacked by bombs.

The man is Fadix, the current Grand Master of the Assassin's Court, and those gathered in this room right now are all beings who are dissatisfied with the Primarch who calls himself the Regent. For them, Guilliman's return Not a hope, but more of a scourge.

The occurrence of various similar situations inevitably makes people wonder whether these heretics are protected by some big figures.

In the Council Hall of Terra, when Mortarion, the former Minister of the Interior who had been dismissed by Guilliman, walked into the luxurious conference room, the former Pope who was also dismissed and the four current high-ranking officials The Lord has been waiting there for a long time.

After hearing this, the other party just silently glanced in the direction of the few people, his cold eyes as if looking at a corpse.

Among them are the commanders of the Astra Militarum, the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Navy Admiral. It can be said that almost all the most important military leaders of the Terran government have gathered here. As Mortarion sat down among them, he looked up. I saw the old man sitting alone in the corner like a statue and saying nothing. Not long after, I heard a disgusting jester-like voice coming from the throat of the former Minister of the Interior.

"I am very happy that the Assassin's Court can choose to stand with us. You are standing on the right path."

And every time the law enforcers have new evidence and prepare to launch a fatal raid on the hiding place of these heretics, the other party is somehow always able to receive the news in advance and avoid the law enforcers' attack.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the deposed former pope stood up first and roared in an indignant voice.

"The Emperor gave power to mortals ten thousand years ago, not to the Primarchs and Astartes who had launched the rebellion, and now Guilliman is trying to take it back. This is a violation of the Emperor's will. Blasphemy! This is betrayal!"

"Guilliman doesn't know how to govern the Empire at all! His so-called reform plans will only ruin it all!" It can be seen that he has some thoughts on the job adjustments made by the original body in the Terran government. Ten thousand dissatisfactions, and as the words fell, the imperial admiral began to express his views in a slightly angry tone.

"The Primarch spent a lot of resources to privately form his expeditionary force without the consent of the High Lords Council. In order to assemble the fleet he wanted in the shortest possible time, I had to ask those people to give up what they were guarding. world, this stupid order alone led to the destruction of hundreds of worlds."

"Now, that guy is ignoring Terra and only thinking about his expedition. What a nonsense!"

Having said this, the admiral paused for a moment, and then moved his fingers to transmit the "evidence" he had prepared in advance to the data pad in front of everyone present.

"Guilliman is currently trying to use the Primaris Space Marines to form a new Legion of Astartes. There is no doubt that this is a violation of the Codex Astartes. This alone is enough to punish him. "

Seeing the so-called evidence of guilt, the pope immediately became energetic again.

"That's right! The primarch must stop his expedition and return to Terra immediately to accept his guilt! Otherwise, we have to show him some color!"

As the words fell, several people in the conference room immediately fell into silence again, in order to restrain the behavior of the original body and withdraw his so-called reform policies.

Taking advantage of the existing rights at hand, the high lords present have summoned a large army on the pretext of destroying the cult and protecting the safety of Terra. Although the cultists active in Terra were supported by them, by doing so The purpose is naturally to fight against Guilliman.

To be on the safe side, they also transferred all the members of an Astartes force called the Tauren, an interstellar battle group that only obeyed the High Lords Council, back to Terra, preparing to use force to force the genetic origin when necessary. The body surrendered to the high lord.

I have to say, this plan sounds pretty perfect.
At this moment, the Minister of Justice, who had remained silent before, also began to add to this.

"Do you still remember the special envoy we sent not long ago?"

The legal officer paused for a moment, then put his hands together on the table and spoke in a serious tone.

"He is already dead. Like the previous Inquisitor, he also died in the process of investigating the Ashes Alliance and the Blood Angels."

"Now, I have reason to suspect that those Astartes, including the current Primarchs, may have some kind of ulterior deal with the heretics."
