Chapter 494: The Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regent! (Part 2)
[You slowly walk through the dimly lit corridor of the ship.]
[You ran into a group of Terminator guards belonging to you. ]
[Moloch, the Minotaurs' warlord, does not like to bring Terminator guards with him, because in many cases, the presence of the guards will affect his attack speed.]
[In terms of combat power alone, you think Moloch of the Minotaur Chapter might be able to compete with Tiberus of the Carcharodon Chapter, because both are special individuals that far exceed the standards of the Astartes.]
[After thinking for a moment, you suddenly raised a hand and waved to the Terminator Guard.]
[The Terminator Guards who received the order immediately followed behind you.]
[This is not your own body. Perhaps your coming has obtained Moloch's consent, but it is better to cherish it.]
[You all walk towards the bridge together.]
[Soon after, you met the captain of the heavy assault carrier, the Power of Daedalus, a middle-aged man with a serious expression.]
[You order the other party to call up a bird's-eye view map of Holy Terra and the Imperial Palace, and also order the captain to notify the ship's deck to prepare a Thunderhawk transport plane that can carry the entire Chapter Astartes.]
[The middle-aged captain asked the servitor to call up the bird's-eye view map without any hesitation, and then the servitor quickly turned around and contacted the ship's deck.]
[You gaze at the Terra Palace in front of you, which is a miracle of mankind, and take a deep breath. ]
[You suddenly raised a hand covered with ceramic steel, pointed at a large black area outside the palace, and asked.]
["What's going on here? Is this the remains of the battlefield from the Battle of Lion's Gate?"]
["Master, according to the information we have received, the combined forces of the Imperial Fists and the Custodes have been secretly carrying out various counterinsurgency operations to eradicate the cult, but the results are not good, and many civilians in the hive are trapped inside. I think they will soon end their suffering due to lack of food and fresh water, and return to the throne."]
[The middle-aged captain who was coordinating the preparations with the mortal crew hesitated for a moment, but still raised his head and spoke in your direction.]
["Although the Custodes suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Lion's Gate, this is no excuse for their failures against mortal heretics. As for the Imperial Fists, I will not comment on them. Go and gather the newly recruited Primaris Astartes and the veterans in the Chapter. It's time for them to move!"]
[You turned slightly while driving the Terminator armor, looked at a Terminator guard beside you and gave an order.]
[The silent opponent immediately ran out of the bridge without looking back, and the heavy footsteps echoed around. ]
["Captain, notify the Imperial Fists' Phalanx and Lion's Gate Airport. Oh, and bring the Imperial Guard's Tower of Hegemony as well… Tell them that the Minotaurs will provide some combat support to Holy Terra and completely quell the chaos that has not yet ended within Terra."]
[You clearly issued new orders to the middle-aged captain.]
[The other party first looked up at you in surprise, then immediately immersed himself in the complicated communication process. ]
[You listened for a moment, then turned around and led the Terminator guards out of the bridge.]
[You quickly headed to the flight deck located in the middle of the flagship.]
[As soon as you step into the hangar, within your field of vision, nearly a thousand Minotaurs Astartes are neatly arranged on the metal floor like metal statues.]
[You can tell at a glance which are the Primaris recruits and which are the veterans of the Chapter by the style and degree of wear of their power armor. ]
[After your continuous scanning, you found that the number of Primaris Astartes was almost half of the entire chapter. Except for the first company wearing some Hades-type Terminators and Indomitable Terminators that were intact, the number of veterans in the entire chapter was much less than you expected.]
["It seems that the Minotaurs did lose a lot of people in the previous battle with the Death Guard…" You thought to yourself with a frown.]
[At this moment, before you can step forward and give a speech to the entire chapter of the Astartes. ]
[The hurried Ivanus Hermit arrived at the hangar deck at a trot, holding two parchment scrolls, and continued to run towards you quickly.]
["Lord Moloch! Calgar of the Ultramarines responded immediately! There is also an order from the Terran High Lords Council!" The other party quickly described it to you in a nervous voice.]
[You stopped walking and took the parchment scroll that the other party handed over respectfully.]
[You looked down and saw that there was no corresponding code that Calga had to answer, which meant that the person who replied might not be Calga.]
[And in the entire parchment, there is only one short message that others may not understand, but you can definitely understand.]
["Twenty-two! Don't act rashly! I have already made arrangements for everything that happens on Holy Terra!"]
[You carefully stared at the incoherent sentence on the parchment scroll, but couldn't help but reveal a fleeting smile.]
[It seems that you have met Guilliman himself in the past and have had a detailed discussion with him.]
["What a pity! Our true supporter may not think this way. Otherwise, I might not be able to come here, Lord Regent…" You muttered to yourself.]
[At this moment, the Terminator guards standing behind you seem to be deaf to this. ]
[On the contrary, Ivanus smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but sigh.]
[You casually took the other parchment scroll handed to you.]
[As you unfold it, it shows that it is nominally an official order from the Terra Supreme Council, but it is actually a private order from a former Minister of the Ministry of the Interior.]
["What a bunch of ignorant mortals…" You sneered as you read the blasphemous contents above.]
[The other party's words hinted at the Minotaur's next action goal and the ultimate goal to be achieved.]
[These guys want to use various means to make Guilliman give up the Indomitable Crusade, or even return to Terra to report immediately. ]
[If Guilliman is sincere in admitting his mistakes, the conservatives in the Terra Supreme Council can retain the Primarch's title of Regent at their discretion.]
[You, expressionless, tore the second parchment into pieces slowly and methodically in front of Slender Ivanus.]
[You drove the Terminator armor and turned to walk to the front of the entire battle group. ]
["From now on, the entire Minotaurs regiment will enter combat readiness. Without my order, the veterans in the regiment cannot take any action. However, once my order is issued, even if I ask you to attack the Terra Palace, you must do it!"]
[You took a deep breath and spoke to everyone in a low and restrained voice.]
["In addition, all Primaris Astartes, step out! From today on, you will only be loyal to two people! One is the Emperor himself! The other is me! Do you understand?!"]
["Listen carefully! Fight for the Emperor! Fight for the Chapter Master!"]
[As soon as you finished speaking, all the Primaris Astartes burst into a deafening roar without hesitation! ]
[And the veterans of the Minotaurs are like metal statues, standing there waiting for your orders.]
[Rather than saying they are living Astartes, they give you the feeling that they are more like a group of "Intelligent Control Legion" made of flesh and blood. ]
[And this is the Minotaur, a sharp knife of slaughter that now belongs to you! ]
Thank you for your support!
