Chapter 472 The heresy is so extreme that the savior attacks the Golden Throne? !
"Hiss~ There won't be any problems with the Golden Throne, right?"
Ron's attention was entirely focused on the turmoil in the Golden Throne, and he didn't notice anything strange about Guilliman at all.
He immediately questioned the Custodes and paid attention to the situation in the Warp.
This is no small matter.
What if the emperor, his old man's divinity has exceeded the limit and wants to get up from the golden throne and stretch his muscles.
That would be the end of it!
After the commander of the Forbidden Army replied, Ron knew what happened. It was all his fault...
tens of minutes ago.
Himalayas, Terra Palace Lion Gate.
After the Redemption Titan Army arrived, the roar it caused spread to the palace.
After Lysias, the commander of the imperial army, received the message from the savior, he did not go to the Senate. Instead, he followed the ancient decree and led the imperial army to build fronts throughout the palace.
They must be alert to all possible dangers, protect the safety of the palace, and prevent any problems from happening to the Golden Throne and the Emperor.
Even if the one causing these turmoils is a loyal Primarch, a son of the Emperor.
The Custodes never slack off.
For the safety of the palace, the Imperial Guards will conduct a training program called the "Blood Game".
Several Imperial Guardsmen suddenly left their posts and acted as assassins, trying all means to sneak into the throne room and fight with real swords and guns against any colleagues who stood in their way.
This was used to test the weak points of the palace's defense and to practice the fighting skills of the Imperial Guards.
In order to maintain their combat effectiveness, the Imperial Guards would even capture Chaos warriors, demons, or Tyranids and throw them into the abandoned areas of the palace to practice their skills.
Do whatever it takes to train yourself.
Due to the Great Heresy, these Emperor's Guards inherently distrusted the existence of anything other than the Custodes.
They never truly trusted the Primarchs and Space Marines.
The Custodes privately also use the holographic image of the Ultimate Primarch Guilliman for combat training in order to deal with possible rebellion.
They required the Space Marines to keep a safe distance from them at all times, and even studied how to destroy the Phalanx to prevent the fortress from being exploited by the traitors.
"It is an ironclad fact that the Forbidden Army can protect the palace and the Golden Throne!" A leader of the Forbidden Army once said.
The movement created by the Savior in Holy Terra triggered the most advanced defense program of the Imperial Army.
"The defense line is fully activated, and all forbidden troops are in a state of emergency. Let the supervisory army keep an eye on the savior's movements. Report any situation immediately!"
Lysias took a deep breath and issued one order after another.
Even if they trust the savior, they must initiate corresponding procedures when facing this situation.
in case.
No one knows when the rebellion will occur.
Horus was still one of the Emperor's most trusted beings, but didn't he rebel?
Zila~
? ? ?
A small insect buzzed through the air and was hit by the war spear's laser that could destroy ceramite armor and was turned into ashes, ending its short life.
At this moment, the palace has entered full martial law, and the sentries are watching every inch of the land.
No life is allowed to cross the defense line!
In the dark and unknown area, there are more Forbidden Hunters lurking, always ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Those heavy footsteps were made by the Forbidden Army's terminators and fearless mechas.
They held the key points.
Bang, bang, bang.
Countless gears make a low and powerful clenching sound in operation, like the breathing of an ancient beast.
That was the movement caused when the defense facilities around the palace were activated, especially the super-heavy fortress of the Lion's Gate.
Countless heavy cannons and giant void shields have been lit. Some of the ancient forbidden cannons can even destroy Titans with one blow, and all the psychic Titans of the Forbidden Army have been dispatched to guard the passages of the fortress.
No one dares to attack this fortress unless they are a complete madman!
The commander of the Forbidden Army, Lysias, led the Watcher troops forward quickly and asked: "What does the Aquila Shield say about this incident?"
There are prophecy psychics in the Sky Eagle Shield Guard, who are responsible for cooperating with the prophecies to act.
If the psykers prophesy that "someone can protect the Golden Throne from danger", then the person chosen by the prophecy, whether they are commoners, nobles, or heretics, will be protected by the Custodes.
It will not end until that being completes the "incident of protecting the Golden Throne".
And if it is predicted that "a certain being will threaten the Golden Throne", the Fear of Punishment Army will be dispatched to eliminate the threat in advance.
The supervisory company commander waited for a while, seemingly gathering information.
After a few seconds, he frowned: "The prophets received some vague predictions related to the Golden Throne. The throne will be affected by the shock, and an existence will come to the throne to repent."
? ? ?
The prophetic message from the Aquila Shield made the Imperial Guards increasingly vigilant.
This means that certain situations will occur in the Golden Throne, or even be damaged, otherwise such a prophetic message would not appear!
"The Golden Throne is shaking, then who comes to the throne to repent?"
Lysias swallowed: "Your Majesty the Emperor, could it be me who went to the throne room to be punished and repented because of poor guarding..."
If it were really me.
He had just taken over the responsibility of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard and desecrated this honor.
Simply unforgivable!
No matter what, he must protect all of this to avoid any impact on the throne room.
Soon, Lysias, the commander of the imperial army, led his troops to the Lion's Gate in a hurry.
The roar caused by the operation of the entire fortress became more intense, and the psychic Titans were also on full alert.
The crew members looked at the smoke in the distance with a trace of nervousness in their eyes.
They all know what that means.
"Company Commander, how is the situation?"
After Lysias arrived, he asked the leader of the sentry guard.
The sentry company commander was a little angry: "The savior is too arrogant. He actually sent the Titan Legion to march towards the palace. Who gave him the courage?"
"Perhaps, this is a misunderstanding."
"Commander, shall we send a message to the Savior to stop this blasphemous act?"
"No!"
Lysias shook his head resolutely: "We don't need to do this. If the troops of the original body ignore the warning and step into the Custodes defense line, then it will definitely be judged."
This is the majesty of the Forbidden Army and the meaning of its existence.
They are the strongest spears and shields, and will only resolutely destroy anyone who dares to invade the palace.
If what comes is not the army of the Savior, or if it is other enemies, or even Chaos Heretics, do we have to order them to retreat like this?
That's more like a compromise and request, and the Imperial Army doesn't need anyone's compromise or concession!
"I hope the savior still retains basic sanity and is not so arrogant that he invades the palace and challenges the imperial army."
The commander of the imperial army thought silently.
He was a little worried that the Primarch would be consumed by ambition for power, to the point of desecrating the Emperor.
At this time, the supervisory forces in various places successively sent back the latest intelligence.
Lysias and others suddenly discovered that the power of the divine machine summoned by the primarch savior was a bit too much.
If the Savior launches a full-scale offensive against the palace at this time, the Forbidden Army's defensive front will face a crisis.
"Commander, there are currently at least 88 Emperor-class Redemption Titans operating on Holy Terra, and there are hundreds of other types of Titans."
The supervisory company commander looked serious: "This force has exceeded Holy Terra's ground defense force. The latest calculations show that only a comprehensive orbital strike can be used to deal with these troops.
Moreover, the hive buildings and the palace will also be seriously damaged in such an attack. ”
Hearing this, the commander of the Forbidden Army and the surrounding Watcher veterans all showed nervous expressions.
Although the crisis has not yet truly occurred, the Imperial Guard never rules out any possibility.
This is probably one of the biggest crises that the palace may face since the Horus Heresy, even more terrifying than that crisis!
half a century ago.
The Battle of the Lions Gate triggered by the return of the Ultimate Primarch, and the phalanx formed by 88 Khorne Daemons, did not make them so nervous.
Afterwards, they received information about the Titan troops marching towards the palace.
That's the latest Titan troop dropped.
A phalanx formed by eighteen Emperor-class Titans and more other types of Titans is coming here with great momentum, and is about to enter the square of the Eternal Gate.
The pilot crew of the Bad Omen Order felt a little numb when they heard this.
There are only a dozen psychic Titans on their side, which are already one of the strongest ground weapons of the Forbidden Army.
However, the total number of Titan phalanx sent by the original body is more than several times that of our Titans, and there are even psychic Titans among them!
The Forbidden Army adults wouldn't want to block that phalanx themselves, would they?
What is the difference between this and committing suicide?
Even with the assistance of the Lion's Gate super-heavy fortress, there is a high probability of a miserable victory, and the probability of losing is not low!
Those forbidden cannons can indeed destroy Titans with one shot, but they also take a long time to reload.
So many Titans.
When will the bombardment last? It is estimated that the enemy Titan phalanx will cross the bombing zone and engage in a head-on confrontation within a few rounds.
"How did the Savior forge so many Titans? Did he hollow out the Mechanicum?"
The hearts of the commanders of the Imperial Guard were shouting.
Even before the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, he could not ask the Mechanicus to devote so many resources and technology!
Lysias fell into silence, and after a while he finally spoke: "Contact the Savior and tell him that the area around the palace is a restricted area and no troops other than the Forbidden Army are allowed to enter.
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
After obtaining specific intelligence data and weighing the pros and cons, the commander of the Imperial Army finally decided to contact the savior.
"Commander, didn't you mean..."
Lysias glanced at him, expressionless: "Follow my orders, company commander."
"Yes!"
When the supervisory company commander heard this, he didn't dare to say anything or ask anything, and hurried to carry out the order.
However, what happened next was not optimistic.
The Inspectors were unable to contact the Primarch of Hope, the savior. He seemed to be in a turbulent flow of energy, or to be more precise, he was being bombarded by the defensive artillery fire of the Senate.
He attempted to break into the area.
This situation made Lysias and others even more anxious.
It seemed like a war was getting ready to begin.
Once that Titans force breaks into the zone, they have to fight back.
At that time, what will be the reaction of the savior of hope?
The mentality of the Imperial Guards has quietly changed, and they are no longer as rebellious as before.
In the tense atmosphere, the Titan troop phalanx stopped moving when it arrived near the Gate of Eternity.
Buzz~
Lysias, the commander of the Custodes, received a communication from the commander of the Titan forces.
"Dear Lord Commander of the Imperial Guards, we are the Savior's Imperial Guard Divine Machine Troops. We will enter the square of the Eternal Gate later and stay there temporarily.
We will never step into the restricted area of the palace. In order to avoid misunderstandings, we hope that we can keep communication smooth. ”
The commander's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
As the Praetorian Guards of the Hope Primarch Savior, they are comparable to the Imperial Guards in terms of responsibilities and are not under the jurisdiction of any army.
Lysias breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the communication.
It has to be said that it is a good thing to be able to avoid a crisis conflict.
But after they learned the purpose and function of this Titan force coming to the Eternal Gate, they almost failed to break through the defense.
Gan Na!
Lysias's face was distorted and he could hardly breathe: "Damn it, do you hope that the original body is so rich?!"
That Titan phalanx was indeed the Savior's Guards, but its actual function was a guard of honor rather than a real combat force.
In other words, the savior leads this army with many Titans everywhere every day!
It was originally hoped that the Primarch Savior would like to use a large mechanical honor guard force to participate in the parade during the victory celebration.
Unfortunately, this request was rejected by the Ministry of Interior and Lions Gate Airport, and he could not send any large troops to the surface.
So I gave up the idea of sending this honor guard Titan troop down.
Now, the Primarch Savior of Hope has taken full advantage and sent a large legion to the surface. This ceremonial Titan force also hurriedly applied for admission.
They wanted to enter Eternal Gate early to familiarize themselves with the venue and rehearse relevant parade formations.
After all, it is according to the savior’s habit.
There will be a grand celebration after his victory.
The Imperial Guards were all stunned by the savior's wealth.
The Custodes are one of the richest armies in the empire, but they don't have many Titan troops, and there are only a dozen psionic Titans left.
It was their treasure, and they wished they could keep it in the hangar all the time, using various holy oils and binary hymns to maintain it.
And the savior just drags the Titan troops around, and even pulls them out for fun from time to time?
"Is that... really a guard of honor?"
Lysias's voice was hoarse, as if he was angry.
"Saviour, I can show you now."
The Titan Force Commander was quite polite: "What follows is a harmless display, please don't overreact."
Then he gave a certain order.
In the view of the Imperial Guard surveillance equipment, several Titans in the front row of the Titan phalanx, decorated with festive decorations and honorary flags, raised their ferocious muzzles.
Bang bang bang——
Accompanied by the sacred music of the Redeemer, these cannons erupted with streamers and brilliant fireworks. ……
Looking at this scene, everyone in the Forbidden Army and the Bad Omen Order fell into silence.
They cannot understand the brain circuitry of the Savior's territory.
But I have to say, those dogs are really rich as hell.
If these powerful divine machines were put into my own hands, how useful they would be. Using them as a guard of honor was simply blasphemy!
Envy and jealousy make them somewhat unrecognizable.
After exchanges and consultations, the Ritual Titan troops of the Primarch Savior of Hope successfully entered the square of the Eternal Gate.
They started to practice some formations with neat steps, and from time to time they raised their ferocious mechanical cannons in salute, paying tribute to the savior of the original body of hope.
Such a scene is particularly absurd in contrast to the war in the hive building in the distance.
Lysias and the others who were watching this were stunned for a moment.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Maybe this is the custom in the savior's territory. Titans have to come out to welcome guests on important festivals.
They can't even complain.
In fact, Titan is a commonly used dusting construction machine in the Savior's territory.
Suddenly, a violent shock struck from a distance, and the palace and the surrounding cannon facilities were shaking.
? ? ?
"Alert!"
Lysias and others were shocked, and according to surveillance data, the source of the vibration came from the Gate of Eternity Square.
Could it be that the Titan troops of the Savior used some kind of weapon to attack the palace?
What a heresy!
Fortunately, the vibration only lasted for a few seconds and then subsided.
"Sorry, some kind of accident happened during our training..."
Soon, the Titan Force Commander sent an apologetic communication.
The technical priests speculated the cause of the vibration. Due to the too regular stepping frequency of the Redemption Titan, a certain resonance was formed, resulting in the occurrence of strong vibrations.
This is an extremely rare and dangerous phenomenon.
Sometimes the resonance caused by the soldiers' footsteps can destroy a solid bridge, let alone the resonance caused by the Titans.
Fortunately, they changed pace just in time to stop this.
To avoid more disasters.
"How's the throne room going?"
Lysias didn't care to blame the commander, as long as it was not an attack. He thought about the prophecy and became more concerned about the situation in the throne room.
However, the news coming from the Emperor's personal bodyguards, the Attendants, made his eyesight darken.
This turmoil has affected the golden throne in the throne room. It is said that parts have jumped out of the interior. The technical priests in the palace are checking the related effects!
"Emperor..."
Lysias rushed to the throne room, hoping to get the relevant news as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that the Golden Throne, as a facility that maintains the Emperor's life, is the most important creation of the Empire.
The Emperor's body relies on the stasis fields and psychic forges of the Golden Throne to be preserved.
However, today's empire no longer has the technology to completely repair the Golden Throne.
The trouble is, the Golden Throne itself also has some problems one after another, such as the aging and damage of certain parts, or performance failures.
Its own consumption is increasing.
By the end of the 41st Millennium, the Golden Throne's consumption of psykers had quadrupled.
Even more desperate, the Tech-Priests discovered that the internal malfunctions within the Golden Throne were beyond their ability to repair.
In other words, no one knows whether this creation that sustains the Emperor's life will suddenly stop one day.
At that time, the empire will usher in complete darkness!
When Lysias rushed to the throne room, the Mechanicus Priests finally got the results.
The Golden Throne did not suffer any damage during the shock. On the contrary, after the parts popped out, some performance problems were inexplicably cured.
Based on the tech-priest's guess.
Those parts may have been installed incorrectly, affecting the performance of the Golden Throne, and now the wrong parts were detached during the shock.
Its performance has been restored.
This surprised and angered the Custodes, who attempted to track down the installer of those parts.
After all, the Golden Throne has undergone many repairs and maintenance over the years, and the relevant technical priests may be suspected of heresy and rebellion.
It can be found from the markings on the parts that the relevant parts may have been installed during the Emperor's reign.
That's all.
Just when Lysias and others wanted to retreat, the Golden Throne shook again.
But this time it was a good thing, because the will of the great Emperor briefly awakened and descended on Holy Terra!
"Your Majesty the Savior, that's what happened."
Lysias restored communication with the savior and briefly told what happened. He spoke a little fast.
"Sorry, my honor guard has affected you.
In the future, I will send out relevant technical teams to see if they can check and repair the faults of the Golden Throne. We already have more high-tech for psychic facilities. ”
The savior's tone was gentle and full of apology: "By the way, your Imperial Army is short of Titans. After this incident is over, you can come and pick a batch when you have time.
This is a personal gift to you, you can use it however you want. ”
Anyway, after this coup reform, a considerable part of the Redemption Titans will stay in Holy Terra to garrison.
That is a deterrent, and it also strengthens the defense force.
It doesn't matter if I give the Forbidden Army ten or twenty of them as an apology.
"Praise the Emperor!"
The commander of the Imperial Army suddenly raised his voice, and couldn't help but grin. The last trace of dissatisfaction with the Primarch of Hope disappeared: "We will keep your generosity in mind."
No one can have too many of the Empire's most high-end gadgets, such as the Titan God Machine.
Especially when the Imperial Guard is fully involved in the Empire's war, who wouldn't want to take a few Titans with them when they go out?
Unfortunately, the original psychic titans of the Imperial Guard could only be stationed in the palace, with strict procedural restrictions.
But the Titan presented by the savior is different.
Lysias was already thinking happily about the scene where the Titans would follow the Imperial Army when they went on missions in the future.
Even he can't stand the sugar-coated bullets of hope for the primarch's savior.
After finishing his communication with the Savior, Lysias was in a good mood and entered the throne room reverently.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Emperor's Custodians must listen to the great Emperor's oracles together with the Imperial Messenger.
See if that being has anything to say.
——
senate.
"Huh~ As long as nothing happens to the Golden Throne."
After Ron contacted the commander of the Forbidden Army, he felt much calmer.
If it doesn't blow up, it won't be a big problem.
The only problem now may be the emperor's attitude towards this coup reform.
After all, he tried to change the political system left by the Emperor, sent the Redemption Titan to bomb Holy Terra, and shocked his old man to wake up.
"Ah, the great Emperor has sent a miracle!"
The pope of the state religion knelt down fervently, feeling the emperor's will.
Other high lords also saluted reverently.
The higher echelons of the Empire are aware of the existence of the Emperor's will.
Although that existence rarely sends down some kind of miracle or oracular instruction on Holy Terra.
But in some of the Imperium's darkest moments, the Emperor's will emerged more than once.
"Hiss~ The emperor is a little annoyed..."
Just as Ron was about to find a chance to communicate with the Emperor, he felt an explosion of the Emperor's will, seemingly asking about the situation of Holy Terra.
He made a prompt decision and chose to let Little Cotton Jacket and Mechanical Goddess Xiao Ling communicate with the emperor.
I believe that the emperor will understand what he is doing after reading those data and information.
"Father...Father is angry?!"
Guilliman sat on the Emperor's throne, sweat pouring out of his forehead, almost numb.
Just now, the imperial regent was thinking about some excuse and stood up from his father's position gracefully and decently.
However, before he could make a move, his father's consciousness swept over the throne and exploded.
Due to the youthful shadow left by the Emperor, Guilliman, the Ultramarine, overthought himself and believed that his father was angry at his transgression.
That being never allowed the primarch's parents and children to act arbitrarily and challenge his authority.
In fact, the Emperor's attention was not on the throne at all, but on the condition of Holy Terra.
At this time, the high lords realized something, and they all turned their attention to the imperial regent on the emperor's throne, with strange expressions on their faces.
The anger of the Great Emperor's Will at such a time may have something to do with the Emperor's Regent and the Primarch of Hope.
Especially the Imperial Regent who committed transgressions under the Emperor's nose.
This is simply double pressure.
"The savior misled me!"
Guilliman's body froze a little, and he was screaming in his heart, feeling that he had been unfairly wronged.
He recalled the scene he had seen before of his father teaching the original parent and his son, and he became even more panicked.
What if his father beat himself up like Magnus or Fulgrim?
Wouldn’t it be that a lifetime’s reputation would be ruined in one day?
He knew his father would not kill him.
But as the regent of such a large empire, he can’t save face just by being taught a lesson!
Whoosh——
Guilliman stood up from the throne at the speed of light, his face determined, as if this incident had never happened.
He pulled the savior and pressed him on the throne: "Brother, you convened the meeting. It is better for you to sit in this position."
This can be regarded as a small revenge of the Imperial Regent. Anyway, their brothers did it together, and they have to learn the lesson together!
After he finished doing this, he felt much more balanced.
"Well, that's okay, then I'll take the seat."
Ron was pressed on the throne a little absent-mindedly, feeling that what Lao Ji said was right.
After all, it’s not appropriate to put aside the meeting I held. It’s just a place, so there’s no need to push it around like a New Year’s gift.
That scene is not pretty either.
However, he just sat down.
The outburst of the emperor's will subsided, and even showed a trace of satisfaction.
Little Cotton Jacket has already persuaded her emperor grandfather to agree to this coup reform.
This change caused everyone present to fall into silence.
They looked thoughtfully at the Imperial Regent and then at the Primarch of Hope on the Emperor's throne.
The attitude of the emperor's will is quite obvious.
It seemed that the great Emperor supported the Primarch of Hope, the Savior, and even allowed him to sit on his former throne.
Perhaps he is the Emperor's chosen successor!
Thinking of this, the high lords subconsciously showed more respect to the Primarch of Hope.
No matter what, no one within the empire dared to openly disobey the will of the great emperor.
That will be criticized by everyone.
Um? ? !
Guilliman was stunned as he watched this scene.
It wasn't that he was struggling with things like power, but he felt that the father was a bit biased.
Damn it, why are you treated differently even if you sit in a seat?
The Emperor's will passed over the Imperial Regent, as if he wanted to explain something, but he felt a little tired talking to this psychic Muggle.
He just tapped his shoulder with some weak psychic energy.
Guilliman thought his father was warning him, somewhat feebly.
Maybe he should go to the Golden Throne and confess about the Second Empire, which he has been avoiding talking about.
It can be regarded as some kind of knot.
cough!
"Why is that guy Lao Ji so surprised today?"
Ron thought about it and coughed slightly to remind everyone to pay attention back.
He sat on the emperor's throne, quite majestic: "Okay, let's discuss how to deal with the current situation of Holy Terra.
I will propose some targeted policies or measures later. If something is wrong, you can bring it up for discussion. ”
"I agree!"
The Grand Master of the Gray Knights, Ke Wen, wore the nondescript representative robe on his silver-white armor and spoke first. The electronic sound was rough and steady.
"I agree too!"
The father of the new star followed closely, regretting his late reaction.
Although Hope Primarch Savior did not say anything specific, the two high lords have already expressed their attitudes.
