Bahram looked at Arash. He probably knew the mentality of this legion brother. Because he had just taken office, on the one hand he was a little timid, but on the other hand he also wanted to do something. If he could successfully recruit a suffering alliance A new member, then at least he, the leader of the alliance, is no longer a "little transparent".
So, Arash supports the Relic Chapter to become an observer.
In fact, since he revealed that he had talked so much with the leader of the Relic Chapter, Bahram roughly knew the other party's position, but now it is clearer.
As for Bahram himself, he prefers the "no trouble" option.
“Captain Arash, I think Lord Magyar’s concerns are reasonable. Regardless of whether the Relic Chapter has any contact with the radical Inquisitors, the key point is whether they still have any interest in Chaos Artifacts. Have a pursuit? This is the most important thing. Their past behavior is definitely not normal. Although the Tribunal forgives them in the end, it cannot be simply attributed to a factional dispute."
As he spoke, he moved and whispered beside Arash:
"Without Gray Marrow, even Astartes would be extremely vulnerable to the temptation of Chaos."
He then pointed to the structure and partial composition of the Relic Chapter listed on the side of the judgment document.
“And with all due respect, I feel that their structure is abnormal. The number of their think tanks is obviously more than that of ordinary battle groups. A battle group with less than 800 people has 27 think tanks. This is only on the surface."
"It may be because they have been stationed in the Eye of Terror for a long time and need to deal with more enemies appearing in the subspace."
"That's it, but I just recalled a radical sect of the Tribunal called the Xanthus. This is the most radical faction in the Tribunal. It advocates the use of all warp weapons, such as demon-possessed swords, demonic Host and believe that the power of Chaos can be used to fight Chaos. This sect believes that Chaos is invincible because Chaos is just a feedback of human beings themselves. They believe that the energy and power generated by Chaos can be transformed for the benefit of human beings, and It’s not about becoming an enemy. This is a heretical sect through and through. The Fire Claws were on this pirate ship from the very beginning. Now there must be a question mark as to whether they really got off the ship.”
“But since the Inquisition. None of them have pursued further investigation. If we refuse based on their past experiences, it will be unconvincing. Moreover, they were introduced by Huang Quan No. 8. Captain Bahram, you may not know that the alliance has been connected with various forging worlds since its establishment. It is quite close. Even without requesting assistance, these forging worlds will occasionally send some equipment supplies to the Mark of Victory. Six years ago, Huangquan No. 8 sent more than a dozen sets of power armor and a company of explosives. shotguns and ammunition to the armory of the Scar of Victory, and they have donated a lot of scattered materials over the past few decades. If they just refute their face, I am worried.”
The Suffering Alliance’s actions A mutual-aid Astartes Alliance, its public armory's equipment comes from the equipment seized during the alliance's operations, and the other part comes from gifts from various forging worlds. Of course, the members of the alliance are not ignorant of the principle of taking advantage of short-handed people, but after all, Astartes Stat's channels for obtaining equipment and materials were very limited, including Soshyan, who acquiesced in this matter.
The continued involvement of the Mechanicus and the Tribunal has also made the internal situation of the Alliance of Tribulation increasingly complicated. This may be an unavoidable problem for any imperial organization, including the Astartes organization. The fact is These situations are clearly reflected in the Death Watch - due to the continuous competition among the various factions within the Alien Inquisition for influence on the Death Watch, there have been cases where some Death Watch killing teams have served one Inquisitor for a long time.
“Yes, it really doesn’t make sense to refuse like this.”
In fact, Bahram was a little embarrassed in his heart. He was obviously just a recruit company commander, but he was dragged into something that should be decided by the chapter leader. If anything happens later, the chapter leader must ask himself.
It would have been better if I had known that I would come back a few days later, but there is no way, there is no place to hide when things happen.
Arash also seemed determined to drag Bahram into the water, and said directly:
"Well, it happened that the commander of Artkus Chapter mentioned the star when he was talking to me. World Knight, I invite him to meet you, and you can see what kind of person he is."
Bahram sighed inwardly, thinking that his opinion would not affect the situation at all, and now the focus is. If Mazar doesn't agree, what's the use even if he really agrees? But then I thought about it, it would be nice to meet him once, at least I would have some confidence in my heart, and I would have something to say when asked by the Chapter Leader later.
So he nodded.
“That’s fine.”
Of course, it was a meeting with a chapter leader. Bahram also made some preparations and “dressed up” himself a little.
First, he took a set of Terminators from the ship. This was a set of Kent Card Terminators given to him by Talos in the name of the 11th Company after he took office as the commander of the 10th Company. Then he took Sosh Yang awarded the Hearthborn plasma sword "Broken Horned Star" and also convened a command team of 10 people. The company's flag bearer was temporarily served by Jacob.
After simple preparations, Bahram went to a living room in the Scar of Victory.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Arash talking to a tall warrior wearing an Unyielding Terminator. The White Temple guards stood on one side, and on the other side were ten Unyielding Terminators. Terminators, they are painted gray and black, with a white skull logo on the shoulder armor, and one of them holds the banner of the chapter.
Noticing Bahram approaching, Arash turned sideways and raised his hand.
"Commander of the Artkus Chapter, this is the tenth company commander of the Astral Knights Chapter, Bahram."
The Chapter Master then turned around. He had a slightly gloomy face, a bald head and a few conspicuous scars. When Bahram walked towards him, he also took steps towards Bahram. His movements were smooth and fast, matching the The armored body was extremely disproportionate, and his eyes flickered with scrutiny.
Soon, the two met and reached out to hold each other's palms.
"Hello, it is my first honor to meet you, Chapter Master Artecus Badan."
"I am the same. The name of the Astral Knight has long been known to my ears. Chapter Commander Shiyan Alexei is the most decorated hero and hero of the empire in the 41st millennium. He must visit him one day.”
Then he noticed the terminator on Bahram and thought. He is the Hades type, with a surprised expression on his face.
After all, the Tenth Company is a recruit company in most battle groups. The commander of the recruit company, let alone Hades and Unyielding, can rarely get equipment. It is the highest level of armor that only elite veterans are qualified to use. .
The strength of the Astral Knights is evident.
