Chapter 169 14, Dukel: "Give Sanguinius a Chicken Drumstick!"

The Blood Angels rushed toward the Star Language Court with fury, even black fury. Even their chief think tank could no longer restrain the anger in his heart and was ready to walk out of the Archangel's palace to vent his revenge.

"Wait, Mephiston." A weak voice from the throne stopped him,

"Don't let anger burn away your reason, don't hurt those innocent people. Ahem, cough, cough."

Amidst the violent coughing, a pure white feather stained with the blood of the archangel was delivered to the hands of the chief think tank director.

Looking at the scarlet stained on the feathers and listening to the archangel's teachings, Mephiston felt infinitely moved in his heart——

This is the genetic father of the Blood Angels, the holy archangel, the perfect son of the Emperor. Even though he was assassinated by villains, he still had compassion for mortals.

"Yes, Father. I will follow your compassion and restrain the brothers' reason."

Mephiston knelt down on one knee, raised his white wings above his head, and said his oath with tears in his eyes.

Then he left the palace, and until he completely stepped out of the palace gate, he couldn't bear to raise his head and take a look at his genetic father.

He was worried that the Holy Father's 'seriously injured' gesture would cause his sanity to die again.

At this time, around the palace, the bodyguards of the original body guarded the Archangel's temple with scarlet eyes. Within the hall, only Dante was still waiting there.

Dante also wants to join the ranks of revenge, but he also shoulders the important task of protecting the original body.

He regretted why he had given the psyker the opportunity to be alone with the Primarch, and now he felt remorseful and his eyes were full of sorrow and anger.

"Dante."

From the throne, the archangel's feeble voice came.

"I'm here, father." Dante said sadly.

"Order a meal from the Son of the People for me." Young Sanguinius' voice was still weak.

"Uh-huh?"

Dante raised his head suddenly and looked at the throne in disbelief.

The archangel had just been assassinated and was 'seriously injured', and he wanted to eat? Have such a good appetite?

Could it be

Dante suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

"Holy Father, I have informed the Medical Order and they will come to treat you soon."

"Ahem, Dante, no need to bother, my injury is not serious." The archangel's voice was full of anger.

Although little Sanguinius sprayed out a mouthful of blood mist and looked extremely miserable, to the original body, such an injury was like a cut on his finger.

If the Medical Order had arrived in time, they might have been able to save him. If it were a little late, the Archangel would heal on his own.

"really."

Dante thought silently in his mind. He watched the archangel sit up from the throne with mixed emotions.

He wanted to say something.

But I dare not say anything.

In the end, I could only sigh and change the subject.

"His Highness Duker has limited our quota. Your brother specifically told the Son of the People that you should not eat too much. Our quota for this month has already been exceeded, and it is difficult to order more meals."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough"

There was a continuous coughing sound from the throne.

"Okay, dad, I'll order it now."

The coughing on the throne stopped abruptly.

The face behind Dante's mask was full of helplessness.

Now he truly understands that it is not easy to learn well, but it will be easy to learn badly.

It was all taught by His Highness Dukel!

"My Emperor, under your throne, the Ministry of Military Affairs has committed so many crimes!" In front of the gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs fortress, when the three Macragge admirals presented iron-clad evidence , Duker cried out sadly.

Guilliman stood over him, clearly angry.

The people of the surrounding empire were in an uproar.

Holographic projectors lit up in front of them, and the mechanical priests rigorously checked the authenticity of these videos, and every time they confirmed one was real. There will be a burst of angry curses from the imperial crowd watching.

Under the watchful eye of the Ohm Messiah, the priests of the Mechanicus will never lie to the Machine Soul, and there is no need for them to lie.

The Astra Militarum is really too difficult. Not only do they have to fight against the enemies of the Empire and face the most brutal war, they also have to be tricked by their own people in the Ministry of Military Affairs.

In the holographic projection, Duker saw that the Imperial Logistics Department promised to provide armor for the front line - but because there were too many deductions in the process, the armor would generally arrive two years after the end of the war.

When an Astral Legion is deployed on a high-intensity battlefield, in order to avoid trouble, the Ministry of Military Affairs will send death notices directly to their families - don't ask where the death benefits go.

In order to reduce the cost of training new recruits, the Ministry of Military Affairs gave up traditional tactical training and instead told the recruits that greenskins, demons, Tyranids, and Eldar were all rubbish, and they could just fuck them when they met.

As shown in the picture,

Things like this that look like jokes are actually behind the scenes of tens of billions of soldiers dying on the battlefield.

When Duker was in Ophelia No. 7, he was embezzled due to the death allowance of soldiers and purged most of the local nobles. This time he found the source.

The eyes of the original bodies turned completely cold.

Whether it is Dukel or Guilliman, no matter how great their achievements are in other fields, their most important job is to be generals in war.

As commanders who have been fighting on the front lines of the empire all year round, the most intolerable thing they can tolerate is the harsh treatment of loyal soldiers.

In their eyes, the Ministry of Military Affairs was even more damnable than the Inquisition and the Ministry of Justice.

At this moment,

the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs finally arrived.

He saluted the two Primarchs,

"My Lords, what are you doing in the Ministry of Military Affairs?"

Obviously, the Chief of Staff didn't know what had happened.

Before the Macragge people took action, they temporarily blocked his contact with the outside world, causing him to be confused until now.

All the imperial people present looked at the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs with strange eyes.

Ducker's face showed grief and anger, "Arrogant villain, your crimes have been made public, tell the truth about your rebellion!"

Chief of Staff: "?"

The Primarch's anger was like a storm, which made him completely messy in the wind.

Although he knew that Ducker's temper was not very good, why did he scold him directly?

According to his intelligence, Duker had killed heretics and aliens before. He was the chief of staff of the Military Affairs Department. Although he had done many evil things, he was still loyal and had never colluded with heretics and aliens.

"Sir, are you talking about me?"

The chief of staff asked in disbelief.

Duker's body extended a huge shadow in the light of the flames, which enveloped the mortals. His bright eyes looked down at the other party, "Of course it's you, the villain in a high position, count your crimes!"

The power of the mind radiated out.

The chief of staff blurted out, "Can I still count my crimes now?"

Chief of staff: "?!!"

Imperial people: "!!!"

The chief of staff felt a trance.

For a moment, he seemed to feel that his mouth was out of control and he uttered the true thoughts in his heart.

But he actually didn't know what the Primarch was saying, and what he was answering.

He just saw that the imperial people around him looked at him more and more strangely.

And

He finally saw the holographic projection equipment that was covered by the Primarch's majestic body.

His pupils trembled violently, "Three generals, what are you holding in your hands?"

"Of course it's your sins!"

The three Astra Militarum admirals were upright, they drew a clear line with the Military Affairs Department and stood beside the two Primarchs.

"Your sins have been exposed by us. The education we Macragge people have received since childhood does not allow us to be in cahoots with villains like you!"

"Well said!" The Regent praised, "You have not lost the honor of being Macragge people."

At the same time, the nobles and officials involved in the holographic projection also took the initiative to come to the door of the Military Affairs Department. They gathered into a black mass and knelt in front of the Primarch.

In fact, with their power, the crimes recorded in the holographic projection were nothing to them before.

Before the Primarch returned, if someone reported them with similar crimes, they would quickly make the reporter disappear.

Even according to the imperial law, they only need to operate to suspend the execution for a few years.

During the years of probation, they will definitely behave well, make up for their mistakes, and drink three cups of wine as punishment, and the matter will be over.

But now it is different. Dukel, the Lord of Destruction, has established his reputation.

As long as they dare to play tricks, they are 100% sure that Dukel will kill people directly.

So now they only hope to receive the most fair trial.

They gathered here to surrender voluntarily, can the Primarch still kill them all on the spot?

"Your Highness, I did withhold soldiers' allowances and am willing to accept the Imperial trial."

"Your Excellency, we do have interests with the Chief of Staff and are willing to accept investigation."

"Great Lord of the Second Legion, praise you and your Majesty for being fair. Everything I did was instructed by the Chief of Staff. I am willing to make meritorious contributions and become a tainted witness!"

Dukel, "."

Guilliman, "."

Chief of Staff, "."

The three were a little angry.

The Primarchs were angry because these crooked people were not really guilty of death according to the Imperial law.

The Chief of Staff was angry because these traitors dared to bite him back.

However, he still had the last hope,

"Your Highness Dukel, you may have misunderstood me." The Chief of Staff defended himself,

"Although the holographic projection is real, it is not foolproof. I have never done these things, so I have reason to suspect that the "I" in the projection is pretended by the murderous ghost, and the purpose is to deliberately frame him in order to achieve his ulterior motives."

The murderous ghost was once again splashed with dirty water.

The Terra stage is full of masters.

Dukel was angry for his brother,

"Outrageous! Cunning villain, what evil deeds are done by the murderous ghost?! The murderous ghost is so unlucky! Great Sage of Machinery, can you see that the holographic projection has traces of forgery?"

Gris and the priests shook their heads without any hesitation.

They did not have any traces of performance, because these projections were real.

Dukel continued to ask, "Then after the analysis of the Mechanicus, is the Chief of Staff in the holographic projection himself?"

"It is true without a doubt." Gris answered without hesitation.

Dukel looked at the Chief of Staff with a clear murderous intent.

"Sinner, you can change your argument." The Primarch's face was cold, "Continue to fabricate facts, let me see what tricks you have."

Dukel narrowed his eyes slightly.

The cold murderous intention suddenly alerted the Chief of General Staff.

"Plop!——"

He kneeled decisively on the ground,

"My lord, I am guilty."

It was impossible not to admit it. All the nobles and officials were giving in when facing Dukel.

Although his external intelligence was blocked for a while, he also knew that the Inquisition was burned down.

Dukel, as Lord of the Second Legion and holding the Emperor's Sword, now had four Primarchs gathered on Terra. If you don't plead guilty, you may soon end up in the trial court.

You have to admit it, even though once you admit your crime, you are giving up your power.

But compared with Dukel who kills people and sets fire at every turn, the power in his hands is not so difficult to hand over.

"Plead guilty?" the original body sneered.

"Yes, as the three generals reported, I forgot His Majesty's teachings, failed to fulfill the sacred mission given to me by the Emperor, and did many wrong things. I have deeply realized my mistakes, and am willing to take the initiative to make meritorious service. Confess the crime.”

Dukel realized what he was thinking, and the mockery on his face became more intense, "You deserve to be executed on the spot!"

You can admit everything else, but this is the only thing that the Chief of General Staff cannot admit. He immediately retorted loudly, "Sir, I am guilty and I am willing to accept all investigations by the empire, but my crime will not lead to death. According to the laws of the empire, I bear all punishments imposed on me, but if you execute me beyond the bounds of the law, all the people in the empire will no longer believe in the function of the law, and the empire will be in turmoil!"

"You think your crime is not worthy of death?" Duker looked down at him, "Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

"Then continue playing the holographic projection."

This was a public trial witnessed by countless citizens of the empire, and Duker turned on all the holographic projection instruments.

The crimes in the video are too numerous to describe.

This is irrefutable evidence that the Chief of General Staff suppressed political opponents and abused his power. The lives of countless Imperial soldiers were ruined because of his foolish actions.

But as more than ten minutes passed, Duker's face became increasingly ugly.

"Your Highness, let the sisters show him mercy." Efilar's voice sounded in the communication channel,

"This sinner used all his intelligence and wisdom to do evil things. When he used his power to trade, everything he said was ambiguous. According to the laws of the empire, it is difficult to convict him of a capital crime."

The Chief of General Staff's simple confession also confirmed this point.

Given his position and his deliberate manipulation, it would be difficult to leave evidence that could lead to a death penalty. Otherwise, he would not even wait for the return of the Primarch, and his political opponents would make him die without a burial place.

"Sir, I am willing to accept the trial of the empire." After watching his holographic projection, the chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time in his life, he sincerely thanked his political opponents.

It was precisely because of their presence that he was able to be so cautious over the years.

Dulquer and Guilliman looked at each other.

Judging from the evidence in the holographic projection, it is obviously impossible to convict the Chief of Staff of death.

The public trial in front of the people of the empire also made it difficult for the chief of staff to commit suicide.

The sanctity of imperial law cannot be tarnished.

But apart from that, you still have to be reasonable.

The second legion is the most reasonable.

If you say he deserves to die, he will die.

Guilliman glanced at Macragge's admiral.

One of the generals instantly understood what the original body meant, and he stood up again, upholding justice, "Your Highness Dukel, I reported that the Chief of General Staff colluded with the murderous ghost to assassinate Your Majesty! The secret messages between the two are hidden In his safe!"

"Your Majesty!" Guilliman pointed angrily at the Chief of Staff, "I hope this is not true. I can't believe that even the Ministry of War was involved in the assassination of the Emperor and the rebellion."

"No, I swear to your majesty, I have never done it!" the chief of general staff panicked.

But Guilliman ignored him and gave orders angrily.

"Calga, you personally lead the search, I want to ensure the authenticity of the evidence!"

"As you command, my lord."

Calgar came out and rushed into the Military Ministry with a team of Ultramarines. In less than five minutes, he took out the safe and took out a secret letter from it.

Dukel was furious, and his sword burst into golden flames,

"Collude with assassins, assassinate the Emperor, assassinate the Primarch, launch a rebellion, and harm Imperial soldiers. Is there anything else you dare not do?! The leader of all evils will be punished by everyone!"

As the words fell, in the eyes of all the Imperial people, the god-like original swung the flaming sword angrily.

After wasting nearly an hour, no evidence was found that was sufficient to convict the Chief of Staff of the death penalty. The empire's laws were simply too imperfect.

Fortunately, the legal department has been taken over by Lion King.

I believe that the laws of the Empire will be improved soon - as long as the Lions don't take things too extreme.

The Chief of General Staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs was killed and he died with his eyes open.

After executing him, the surrounding Imperial people gradually dispersed. Until they were far away, the two primarchs could still hear the incredible discussions.

"My Emperor, the Chief of Staff has so much courage!"

"My poor child died in such a confusion on the battlefield. If it were not for the sons of gods to judge in person, I might not be able to see the truth of the Ministry of Military Affairs in this life. Thank you Emperor, your sons have upheld justice."

"The Chief of General Staff really deserves to die."

I believe that tomorrow morning, what happened tonight will spread to every alley in Terra at the fastest speed.

When the crowd dispersed,

"Brother, you will temporarily take over the power of the Military Affairs Department from now on." Ducker looked at Guilliman.

"I will not fail this mission." Guilliman swore seriously,

"I will do my best not to let any loyal soldier die in vain on the battlefield."

"I believe you." Ducker nodded.

It is not difficult to see from today's events that Guilliman has been planning in the Military Affairs Department for a long time.

Although Guilliman has the title of Regent, he nominally has the power above the Supreme Council and second only to the Holy Emperor.

But before Ducker cleansed Terra, he was almost in a state of being sidelined.

Even though he has a huge Macragge regime behind him, he is still restricted everywhere in Terra.

At this time, it has been more than four hours since Ducker arrived in Terra.

The Inquisition, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Military Affairs collapsed one after another. Although there was still a huge amount of finishing work left, most of the power of the Empire was still recovered in the hands of the Primarch.

Duke looked up at the night sky of Terra and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Dawn is coming, light and hope are never far away."

Guilliman nodded in approval and also looked at the night sky of Terra.

But at this moment,

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!——"

Countless aircraft, like violent giant birds, roared over the heads of the crowd.

Duke: "???"

Guilliman: "???"

"Is this the Blood Angel's spaceship? Are they out for a midnight snack?" Duke looked at the aircraft that flew past quickly, like a crazy aircraft, and said in disbelief.

"Their actions are obviously murderous." Guilliman's face was solemn.

"Although we don't know what happened, we should stop them and not let them stir up chaos on Terra."

Duke nodded.

Whether it was Guilliman, the Lion King, or even Dukel, they didn't want to stir up chaos in Terra. This was the center of the Empire, and any disturbance could have unpredictable consequences for the entire Empire.

If it weren't for this, with the legions in their hands, it wouldn't be so troublesome to eliminate the nobles of Terra. A round of macro cannon salvos would ensure that there would be nothing left of Terra except the palace, and the Imperial Fist couldn't stop it.

But just as they were about to issue an order to stop the Blood Angels.

A huge figure suddenly fell from the sky,

"Boom!——"

When the smoke and dust dissipated, the figure of the warrior was revealed. It was Mephiston, the chief think tank of the Blood Angels.

Dukel's face was still cold and serious.

Guilliman frowned and asked mercilessly, "Mephiston, what are you going to do?!"

Mephiston didn't speak.

He just stood in front of the two Primarchs in silence, and knelt on one knee with a "thump",

silently shedding tears.

"Kid, you did nothing wrong, you don't have to kneel down to us." Dukel pulled him up without giving him a chance to refuse.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Mephiston raised his head, and the two Primarchs could see that his eyes were bloodshot, and even fangs were exposed at the corners of his mouth.

It was obvious that he had reached the edge of losing control.

This made them all a little nervous, wondering what had happened to make the Blood Angels almost out of control.

But Mephiston's next words shocked them even more-

"My Lords, our Lord Sanguinius was assassinated by the Grand Master of the Astronomical Court in the palace, and is currently seriously injured and in critical condition."

"?"*2

Dukel and Guilliman looked at each other and exchanged a brief glance.

Guilliman: "How could Sanguinius be assassinated? Who has such courage? Is this also acting?"

Duke: "He didn't take the script either."

Guilliman: "Is this true?"

Duke: "Really!!!"

Mephiston took out a white feather, which was still stained with the Archangel's blood.

The pupils of the two Primarchs trembled violently.

The smell of blood rushed into their nostrils.

"Let's go! Go to the Star Tongue Court!" Duke roared, and the red flames ignited instantly.

Guilliman was equally furious, and the Emperor's Sword was burning.

Even the lion came out of the forest of Caliban after receiving the news, with a gloomy face.

Everyone loves Sanguinius, and this is not just talk. What's more, now that the Archangel has returned to his juvenile body, no Primarch wants him to be hurt.

In Terra, where the four Primarchs gathered, they dared to assassinate Sanguinius.

If I don't give the Star Language Court to you tonight,

"Your Highness, Lord Sanguinius is here again. The quota you set for him has been exceeded by more than half this month. Do you still want to serve him food?" Just as Duke was about to kill someone, the voice of the Son of the People suddenly sounded in the voice channel.

Duke was stunned,

"Sanguinius? Isn't he seriously injured and dying? Can he eat so soon?"

"No, Lord Sanguinius looks healthy."

Duke was stunned again.

How could he not understand at this time that he was being played.

Even his brothers were deceived by the strong participation of Sanguinius.

But acting is like this. The actor himself is still worried about whether his acting skills will be exposed, but for the uninformed audience, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"Your Highness, are you still serving dinner to Lord Sanguinius?" the Son of the People asked again.

His voice was a bit awkward. Without Dukel's order, he did not dare to feed the Blood Angels more than their quota.

But Dante was right in front of him, staring at him with red eyes, and he couldn't bear to refuse directly.

"Here!" Duker gritted his teeth, "Add another chicken drumstick to him!"

"Okay, Your Highness." The man of the people responded. But just when he was about to disconnect the communication, he heard the original body's voice again.

"Tell Sanguinius that you did a good job and don't do it again next time!"

Dukel disconnected the communication.

The unknowing Lion and Guilliman still held the Emperor's sword and shield and advanced angrily, with the Ultramarines and Dark Angels gathering behind them.

Duker directly grabbed them and told them the truth.

After hearing that little Sanguinius himself had aggravated the situation, the Lion King and Guilliman were also stunned, and then looked dumbfounded.

"But Sanguinius' actions did help us." The lion calmed down and said,

"The Star Language Court, the Star Torch Court, and the Navigator Family, they manage almost all psykers, and are a force that cannot be ignored in the empire. From the information I have learned, the Star Language Court is the most restless among them, and is related to The powerful are the most involved and are also the ones who need to be liquidated.”

"Leon, it is no longer a question of settlement." Guilliman pointed helplessly at the red-eyed Blood Angel in the distance.

"What we want to make sure now is that the Blood Angels don't take things too extreme."

After hearing his words, even Dukel nodded in approval.

The Blood Angels are just too extreme.
