The entire Senate is magnificent on the outside, and the interior is laid out like a theater, divided into several conference rooms. There are four large conference rooms in the southeast and northwest. Which conference room the high lords gather in means that they want to discuss which part of the empire they want to discuss. Direction matters, although more often the high lords prefer to go to more secret places.
When Soshyan was escorted by the imperial guards, the dim corridor stepped into the light. As the door opened, the high dome of the synagogue was revealed. The next second he heard thunderous applause from the center. The huge podium is the meeting place for the high lords.
In the center of the Senate, there is a giant hexagonal marble platform that took a lot of manpower to build. It is inlaid with a huge, polished stone table, surrounded by a circle of lenses and holographic communicators. Only a few Under certain circumstances, high lords will use this place, and this is often a key event that determines the empire.
The seats surrounding the high platform in the center are filled with the top leaders of the Terran government. They are all applauding neatly. There are thousands of people sitting here, and each one of them is basically someone who can work in the empire. Someone who can speak well in politics.
The Imperial Guards stopped at the entrance, and Soshyan walked forward, stepping on the red carpet, beyond everyone's sight, and arrived at a podium made of huge mahogany.
Similarly, the twelve high lords also gathered together in their attire, wearing formal robes and sitting on the trumpet seats. The most special one was the Foundry General Oud Udia Lasky, whose His body is more like a building than a human being, and there is basically no trace of human flesh. It is said that it is even difficult for him to move alone, and eight large cranes are needed to transport him to the palace.
In the center of that huge table, there is a huge golden eagle scepter. This is a relic of the hero Malcador, which represents the establishment and responsibilities of the Imperial Council under the instructions of the Imperial Prime Minister. The legislative, judicial and executive powers of the empire.
Weak light shines through the tall stained glass. In addition to the Forbidden Army, there are also a large number of Lucifer Black Guards armed with guns guarding the surrounding heavy gates. Soshyan can also hear the automatic turrets The sound of turning in hidden corners, their guns unmistakably ready to fire.
It was a ridiculous caution that they were afraid of being in the same room with a Space Marine, and Soshyan found it both ridiculous and pathetic.
What Tyrion said is absolutely correct. They are very neurotic. The complex political struggle has almost driven them into lunatics and paranoia. That is why they insist on staying in the entire empire. The safest places have incredible levels of security.
Or maybe they are not really worried about encountering external threats here, but are more worried about threats from their colleagues.
But no matter what, prudence and caution seem to be engraved deep in their souls.
Dududu——
Just after Soshyan took his seat, the applause stopped, and then a sergeant in a gold-red uniform picked up a golden trumpet with a flag in his hand. A light melody was played.
In an instant, everyone stood up, including the high lords.
Immediately afterwards, the real door of the Senate opened with a bang. An old man wearing a black robe and holding a black scepter walked in with a solemn gait on the red carpet. Behind him were 6 people, lined up in two rows. The first man in the column is wearing gorgeous metal ceremonial armor and holding a long sword, representing the former Sun Lord. The first man on the right is an old man holding a curved staff and covered with scrolls. He represents the oldest man in Terra. of universities and scholars.
Then the second person from the left is wearing a light green robe with a hood, holding a pen and a thick book. He is the representative of description and history. The last person from the left is wearing a black tuxedo. A young man wearing a single-sided spectacles symbolizes service and service. The second person in the right column is a judge wearing a wig and a thick robe, holding a code that is as thick as a large brick. The last person in the right column is a woman wearing a long skirt and holding a golden mask. She looks to be in her thirties, very beautiful, with long blond hair tied back. She is a dancer and an artist.
These six people appear here not without reason, because they represent the six types of ministers who once served the emperor.
Then why are there no scientists and architects?
Because the Emperor himself is the most powerful scientist and architect.
After the six people entered, about ten meters away from them, two soldiers, also wearing gold-red uniforms and top hats, walked in solemnly. They both held a red in their hands. Silk cushions, one of which was a golden laurel wreath, the other a scepter similar to the staff Soshyan held in his hand. The laurel wreath was a legacy of the Emperor, and the scepter was a legacy of the Regent Primarch Guilliman. thing.
Behind them was Tirian, who was wearing a blue robe that almost touched the floor.
The attendants knocked their canes on the ground neatly.
"Regent Robert Guilliman is here!"
For some reason, Soshyan felt strange, but he couldn't connect the chubby, round blue creature with the Primarch Robert Guilliman. Does this ritual have any meaning? After ten thousand years, they still have to pretend that the original body is still in charge of the empire. Have these mortals become so guilty?
When Tyrion walked all the way to his place, the throne that was theoretically higher than the high lords, he said something in a very ancient tone.
"My lords, please take a seat."
Everyone sat down one after another, but Soshyan had to stand. There was no way, there was no stool for him to sit on.
Immediately afterwards, Tyrion showed off his unscripted speech to Sosh.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we gather together in the Great Hall of the Senate. This building was built ten thousand years ago, when the Emperor still walked the earth, when even the sacred Terra was barbarized. Occupied by warlords and degenerate tyrants, this land is now the sacred heart of the empire. The great lord of mankind has shown an unbreakable truth to future generations-peace and prosperity can only be guaranteed by the sword. This truth is in the It has been repeatedly verified in thousands of years of history, and it has also been repeatedly verified here. Countless war instructions have been issued here, and the most severe trials have been witnessed here. We have also paid our final tributes to the fallen heroes here. Respect, but without exception, everything is for the peace and prosperity of mankind and the empire, and this is often inseparable from those legendary and great heroes, so we can welcome a great hero, an outstanding hero here. I am deeply honored as the leader of the war!”
“.As we all know, the Maelstrom is entrenched in an evil force. It once gained the trust of everyone, but in the end it betrayed the one it could not betray. Man, the great lord of humanity, once the guardian became the destroyer, the maelstrom is so close to the heart of the empire, this terrible disease has become a tumor flowing with poisonous water in a century, it has threatened When the Imperium is ultimately safe, it must be eradicated by a great warrior. This charisma must possess a cohesive force that becomes the common link that unites the Adeptus Astartes, the Astra Militarum, and the Navy, and holds the ambitions together with an iron fist. Ambition, loyalty to the Emperor, and hatred of betrayal merge into one.”
Let’s count the votes and gather the heroes
