508. The Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regent! (VI).

[In the eyes of many reformists, your decisive Minotaur Chapter suddenly transformed from the lackeys of the high lord to Uncle Black, the Salamander Chapter who loves the people like his own children. This is undoubtedly a very shocking thing. matter.

[In the eyes of conservatives, many of your abnormal behaviors have a traceable context. 】

[As an important chess piece of the same camp, they believe that all your actions now are part of the overall plan, not to mention that you have won so much extra support for the conservatives, which is simply a great achievement! 】

[So, no matter good or bad, a visit from the Forbidden Army is something you can expect, especially since you have recently had a small conflict over the target. 】

【"hehe……"】

[At this moment, wearing a metal helmet, you subconsciously let out a chuckle. 】

[You looked back and forth through the eyepiece at the shield captain Valyrian in front of you. 】

["I'm just doing what an Astartes should do." You said calmly to the other party in a low voice. 】

["Furthermore, I am just doing what you were supposed to do for the Forbidden Army. If you Forbidden Army really fulfilled their duties, I wouldn't have to appear here!"]

["An extremely ridiculous slander! Be careful with every word you say, Chapter Master Astartes! Our Custodes have indeed fulfilled their duties! There has never been any flaw in the task of guarding the Royal Palace of Terra!"]

[Hearing the sarcasm in your words, the outspoken Shield Captain Valyrian subconsciously retorted. 】

[However, you suddenly took a step forward while driving the Terminator Power Armor. 】

[You lowered your metal helmet slightly, stared at the other person and said. 】

["Tsk, do you believe what you say? Do you want me to give you some examples to prove the incompetence of the Imperial Army? Open your eyes and take a look! The times are undergoing unimaginable changes, and the territory of the human empire is also changing. At stake! In the long period of ten thousand years, I found that not only the number of the Imperial Army has not increased much, but now it seems that they have not even grown in brains!"]

["Astartes! How dare you-"]

[At this moment, the shield captain Valyrian, whose anger was rising, quickly took a few steps back. He instantly raised the imperial spear in his palm, and it seemed that he would launch an astonishing attack on you in the next second. ! 】

【boom--】

[Even the forbidden troops who followed him subconsciously formed a battle formation. They quickly surrounded several Sisters of Silence. In a short period of time, almost everyone was ready for battle! 】

[However, just when you were about to take out the weapons Black Spear and Minotaur Shield from the back of the power backpack and play with the Imperial Guards.

[Sister Alea of ​​Silence, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pushed away the tall bodies of the Imperial Guards. 】

[She first stepped forward and raised her hand to hold down the Guards Captain Valyrian's imperial spear that was always pointed at you, and then turned her eyes in your direction without any emotion. 】

[Then, Sister Silence, who had taken a vow of silence, gestured quickly to everyone in complex sign language. 】

["Enough! Valyrian! Have you fed countless years of difficult training and combat experience to Grox? Don't you realize that the other party is deliberately irritating you?!"]

["Dear Chapter Master, Valyrian does not have much understanding of human nature, and he has a straightforward personality and will not understand your machinations. I hope you will not continue to embarrass him."]

[At this moment, Silent Sister Alea’s sign language gestures made Shield Captain Valerian quickly calm down.

[He took a deep breath, slowly lowered the spear of the Forbidden Army, and at the same time waved the other Forbidden Army to release their combat readiness. 】

["Haha, look, you, a Forbidden Army who has experienced hundreds of battles, are not as smart as a Sister of Silence. This is really...all combat brothers, listen to my command, everyone should disperse!"]

[You shook the metal helmet slightly, and while speaking to the other party, you also raised a ceramic palm and waved it back and forth. 】

[The next moment, the Primaris Astartes, numbering close to one hundred and fifty, slowly emerged from the shadows of buildings with a radius of one kilometer or from their hiding places below the ground. 】

[At this moment, you obviously noticed that the other Imperial Guards except Valyrian and several other Silent Sisters vaguely showed some fleeting emotional changes. 】

[In fact, regardless of the absolute disparity in numbers between the two sides, the bolters in Primaris' hands and the melta weapons specially obtained from the Ministry of Interior were enough to send this Imperial Guard team to the meeting in just one meeting. The emperor. 】

["Captain Moloch, what exactly do you want to do?"]

[The Shield Captain Valyrian, who seemed unmoved by this, was silent for a moment, and he asked you again. 】

[Only this time, the other party’s conversation and attitude were obviously much more solemn. 】

["I heard that your Imperial Army has always looked down on us Astartes, so I originally planned to use this small psychological flaw to guide and provoke you to attack me, thus giving me an excuse to detain you, and This can be used to attract important figures from the Forbidden Army whose positions are important enough..."]

["In other words, I want to use you to get close to Trajan, the commander of the imperial army. I need to have a secret conversation with him without attracting the attention of all parties."]

[“Besides, you are all frontline personnel fighting on the Terra battlefield, right? Haven’t you noticed the cold waves surging under the calm surface of Holy Terra now?”]

[“Don’t tell me that the duty of the Custodians is to guard the Imperial Palace. You represent the will of the Emperor himself! As I said, with the return of the Primarch, the times have changed. If you, the Custodians, don’t try to keep up with the times, one day, you will be abandoned by the times and rot inside the walls of the Imperial Palace.”]

[“Also, is the Emperor on the Golden Throne important? Of course it is important. After all, it is a star torch that guides the human empire to survive. But you, the Custodians, should at least open your eyes and look outside the palace! These people in the hives who have only known the Emperor since birth, their existence is the spark that maintains the entire human empire!”]

[You took a deep breath and spoke slowly to the shield captain Valerian and the silent sister Aleia in a low and firm voice. ]

[Although the rest of the Imperial Guards and the Sisters of Silence also remained silent, it can be foreseen from the way they lowered their heads in thought that they were obviously thinking about what you just said. ]

[It seems that it is not the Imperial Guards who have no brains, but the problem of the shield captain Valerian himself. ]

[At this moment, your eyes are constantly staring at the people in front of you through the helmet eyepiece, and the data stream in your mind synchronously recalls what happened before. ]

[About a month and a half ago, you have successfully met with the captain of the third company of the Imperial Fists in the hive through some covert means. ]

[And, through the cautious words that the other party can accept, you revealed to Captain Galadon that some high lords were plotting rebellion and trying to limit the power of Regent Guilliman. ]

[After a very brief shock, Captain Galadon first confirmed some of the evidence you have, that is, the secret orders sent to you by the former Minister of the Ministry of the Interior. ]

[Although these parchments recording the communication cannot prove that the other party has indeed participated in the rebellion, they have indeed gained Captain Galadon's trust in the Minotaurs, you, and the whole thing. ]

[That is to say, in the past period of time, most of the Imperial Fists' dissatisfaction with the Minotaurs were played for those who had ulterior motives. ]

[Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of everything, Captain Galadon did not reveal any information to ordinary Astartes except for a few confidants. ]

[Now, you only need to have a separate meeting with the commander of the Imperial Guards and successfully gain his trust, and you can do more things freely. ]

[However, in order to take care of the little emotions of the Primarch brother Guilliman, you must continue to play the role of the traitors' pawn until the moment when those high lords think the outcome is set and jump out to reap the fruits of victory. ]

[However, compared to Comrade Regent's intention to only punish the chief culprit and maintain the status quo, this is a small punishment. 】

【You, with your ruthless means, intend to completely clean up all the conservatives' background and turn the entire Holy Terra into a super war machine to support the Unyielding Expedition! 】

Thank you for your support!

It turns out that this kind of palace fighting type of plot is not suitable.

My scalp is tingling when I write it, and it feels like constipation.

The remaining content is simply a battle to unite major forces to kill traitors. I will write more about chopping and chopping in the future.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year.
