Chapter 590: Imperial Guards, Relocation, and an Unwilling Mission

Bang...

The heavy door was pushed open from the inside. Like the Grey Knights, Sura did not move his body, but his eyes moved sideways, just in time to meet the eyes of Jin, the Imperial Guard, who walked out of the door.

The Emperor's Eagle Guard.

They are both the endorsement of the honor and power given to the Primarch by the Empire, and the executioners who monitor the Primarch in a sense.

Sura did not remember where he had seen them, but instinctively he did not have a good impression of these people.

Disgust, hatred, contempt, vigilance...

These were the emotions he had experienced instinctively, from these adamantine foundations without disguising;

Strangeness, awe, fear, anger...

These were the instinctive reactions left to him by his memories that could not be retrieved.

But now it was different.

Since he regained consciousness again, his new identity made him receive the expected intimacy and complexity from the eyes of these "supposedly" arrogant Emperor's guards...

They trust me, the reason... is just my identity?

This was the puzzle that Sulla couldn't figure out in his spare time, and it was also the fact that was constantly confirmed in the details of his daily life after his brief rebirth.

No, it's not just trust.

Sulla didn't know his origins, but he had his own understanding of emotions and micro-expressions.

From the eyes of Jin and his comrades, he knew that he had gained not only trust and intimacy, but also some more confusing emotions.

Envy?

There should be, but not all.

Relief?

But where did this come from?

He discussed this question with Gorgon, but the latter did not answer.

He also clearly remembered the expression of the veteran who had served for hundreds of years after hearing his doubts.

And that expression was so subtle, and there was a kind of teasing after thinking in the subtlety.

"That's because of the Titans." Gorgon said so.

He answered Sulla's question, but did not resolve Sulla's doubts.

Sulla didn't know what was different about his genetic father that caused these imperial guards to have such complicated emotions. But he also knew that this complex emotion was bound to be related to their identities.

But fortunately, he didn't care about this, because at this moment, he was also caught in another unexpected trouble because of some instinctive collisions in his body.

"Stupid bird... you have something to do!"

The psychic communication came unexpectedly, and Sura subconsciously tensed his body.

Outside the door of the Black Stone Hall at the end of the field of vision, a line of fully armed gray knights were walking from the end of the corridor.

Sura, who "senses" the coming person belatedly, no longer looks at Jin, but passes his eyes over the mortals under the steps and collides with the owner of the voice.

"Two hours and 10 seconds, you are late."

Sura spoke, and the stiffness and dissatisfaction in his tone were equally obvious.

"And my name is Sura, not Stupid Bird."

"I know, Stupid Bird." Gorgon, who came to change guard, laughed loudly in the psychic communication, and didn't seem to listen at all.

However, in reality, what was shown to outsiders was only one-sided silence between the two teams.

"!!!"

There was no point in saying more, Sulla decided to use martial arts to express his protest, and this was the routine program between him and Gorgon during this period of time.

Considering the former's special status, the Primarch specially appointed the leader of the Templars, Gorgon, to make up for Sulla's training as a recruit on Titan;

As one of the few high-ranking Templars, Gorgon, as the current head of the Honor Guard, also understood the Primarch's attention to Sulla.

He was happy to communicate with this recruit with a special origin, and was more willing to use this special "confrontation" to accelerate the understanding between each other.

Feeling the pace of the Templars, Sulla's body instantly turned from extreme stillness to explosion, the sharp blade of the halberd held in one hand moved forward along the gravity, and the halberd body, which had been replaced with two-handed force, pierced out a residual image in the square inch in front of him under the terrifying power of the electromagnetic muscle bundle!

Buzz!

In the split second, Gorgon's expression remained unchanged, but his feet did not stop!

The Terminator, which was heavier than the standard Holy Shield Power Armor on Sura, was driven by the psychic cables on his body. In the buzzing of the servo, he dodged the attack in front of him with incredible agility!

After slightly sidestepping, Gorgon stepped forward instead of retreating, like a saber-toothed tiger from ancient times, waving his halberd within a distance of less than two meters, and lightly bypassed Sura. The tip of the halberd passed through Sura's neck, and then stood in the former's original position!

The violence and agility of the top predator were fully displayed in this small space.

And where have the state priests who came from the seminary and have been buried in the parish organs ever seen such a shocking scene?

When two steel behemoths weighing several tons appeared in front of them without any warning and performed the most naked violence with steel and swords, they were so shocked that they were suffocated by the scene that came before them, and they couldn't even utter a scream!

"Hey... Hey..."

"Stop screaming! You're about to die!" Gorgon, who had replaced Sulla, stomped his feet leisurely, trying to interrupt the priests who were about to be suffocated to death.

However, these weak clergymen became strong at this time. Their faces were flushed, but they still wanted to scream with determination.

"Scream! Screaming is also a time!"

Gorgon spoke again, and his thunderous roar finally suppressed the screams of the priests.

At this time, they themselves knew the fate they were about to face. Without the consent of the Primarch, these people would not be able to smoothly take over the power of the church;

And like any road to power, sometimes if you can't take another step forward, you don't even have the right to retreat...

"Order?"

Sulla stopped and turned around, as if everything that had just happened had never happened. His eyes swept over the priests, as if he was looking at a dead person, making the priests freeze in place again.

Gorgon did not take it as an offense, because this was a tacit understanding between him and Sura.

As for the priests' small actions of calling for help, he pretended not to see them at all.

Goth, at least during this period, was nominally within Calvin's rights.

He could not wait to see who dared to risk being wanted by the Inquisition and rescue these people in front of him.

"I have the order!" Gorgon still answered with psychic power.

He held the halberd in his hand and did not move his body, but moved his helmet slightly sideways, and the T-shaped eyepiece pointed at the group of priests in red clothes.

"But I don't want to hear you use that damn throat again!"

"..." Sura's body stiffened slightly, and he finally lowered his head.

"Order?" He asked again.

And this time, a slightly unfamiliar psychic sounded in the legion's communication channel.

"Take your people and 'invite' those who should have come but didn't!"

Gorgon laughed happily, and this undisguised laughter made Jin, who had remained silent, know that it was time for him to speak.

"I am under the order of the Primarch to investigate the internal affairs of the Gothic Diocese, the state religion of the Empire. You should have received the same order. So, who will cooperate with me?"

"?"

Sura looked up and looked at Gorgon with a puzzled look, and the latter grinned, raised his empty hand to scratch his chin, and then raised his shoulders irresponsibly and said:

"That's right, I forgot to say it."

Update!
