Chapter 2808 Looking beyond the Astartes
The Amaratans believe that strength is gained through unity, and political activities and changes will only destabilize the empire. Therefore, the Amaratans Among the many allies, the most notable are the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These organizations are tasked with maintaining law and order in the Empire and thereby maintaining the status quo. In the eyes of the Amaratians, this is the birthright of the Empire. Power was also designed for it by the Emperor.
So Hanniver began to pay attention to the Suffering Alliance very early, because this Astartes Alliance is regarded as a brand new force. It is different from the past Astartes who were based on regions or tasks. Alliances established by reason generally have few members and do not have a unified organization, such as the Governor Chapter Alliance around the Eye of Terror. They just have such a name and have little contact with each other, but Suffering The Alliance is different. Although the Alliance has always insisted that it is only a "mutual aid" group, it undoubtedly has all the functions of a political entity, including management agencies, provisions that bind all members, a unified external caliber, and a centralized program. and ideas, and a fixed stronghold.
For the Amaratians who resist all new things, such a new political entity dominated by the Astartes is undoubtedly destructive to the stability of the empire, and the Inquisition's influence on the Adeptus Astartes The attitude has always been to both use and defend, and the degree of prevention is even much higher than that of any armed force in the empire. Such an organization with so many battle groups has quickly become a key surveillance target of the Amaratian faction, including Shengli. Several inquisitors stationed in the Scar are from this faction.
However, this faction also has a very unique feature, that is, compared to other Inquisition factions, when faced with conflicts and obstacles, they are not too inclined to use radical violent methods, and usually make "requests" politely ", and do their best to keep their allies informed. Radical accusations and secret wars are also actions that destabilize the empire in their eyes. Some factions of the Inquisition even call them the Turtle Faction, mocking them for being too tolerant and too cruel. Conservative, completely putting stability over right and wrong.
Therefore, although they are stationed within the Scar of Victory, they rarely have disputes with the Space Marines. They basically only perform surveillance tasks. This is also the reason why the two sides have been able to live in peace for so many years.
“Captain Soshyan, your actions this time will force us to upgrade our monitoring methods, because your thoughts and methods worry me, and we must perform the responsibilities entrusted to us by the throne.”< br>
Soshyan just replied with a smile.
"It's up to you."
After saying that, he led the people away, but before he could take two steps, Armand suddenly turned around.
"Where is that person!"
"Human? Let's keep an eye on the person first. What if he gives out any important information? We will notify you at that time."
Waiting for the Space Marines They left, and the angry Armand hit the ground with a hammer, making a deafening roar.
"Damn! This is completely the next Huron!"
Delia whispered:
"If he was really Huron, the three of us wouldn't be able to get out of here."
"Before Huron launched the rebellion, no one would have thought he was a traitor! Nothing is sudden, and we cannot let it go These Astartes continue to be more and more unscrupulous, otherwise there will be a second Badab War in the Storm Star Territory, and you and I will be sinners at that time! We must collect evidence as soon as possible, and then report it to Terra, so that the High Lords Council can order enforcement. Disband this alliance!"
Hanniver slowly turned around.
"So you also agree to Terra's investigation of the entire incident? This place is so secretive and belongs to the state church. If he can find this place, don't you realize what happened?" Armand looked at it. Hannifer's expression changed slightly after a moment.
"Why."
"Yes, why, why did the Anglican Church that supported you choose to betray Alexey Koch?"
Hanniver tapped his temple with his finger.
"Think about it, think about it, if things get involved with Terra, what will he do? What will he dig out? What you and Alexei did in Bentsvit are not necessary Did I remind you? That is absolutely against the rules and regulations. If you really want to talk about it, you will probably have to go to the trial stage."
"So, you admit defeat? Are you just watching these Astartes flout the authority of the Inquisition? If they dare to use forged evidence to slander us today, what will they do tomorrow? "
"Loss, win"
Hanniver turned around, looked at the chaos weapons sealed in the shelves, and crossed his arms.
“There is no win or loss this time, but a transaction. This is the most terrifying thing. If he were Huron, I would not be so scared, but his performance made me shudder. Huron will spend his whole life. After all, he is still an Astarte. His way of thinking and behavior still cannot escape the inertia of the Astartes. But in Soshyan Alexei, I can't see it. I can't see one. The shadow of a normal Astartes, he knows all the departments and institutions of the empire very well, understands their power structure, operating methods, and even the secret unspoken rules. He is not a reckless rule breaker, but an exploiter of the rules. I think All the Astartes I have seen show great discomfort and contempt for the mortal rules of the Empire, but he is an exception. What worries me now is that we may not be his opponents in political struggles, let alone It’s really strange to control him. How could there be such a Space Marine? If his origins were not very clear, his performance, and his unique body shape, I would even doubt whether he is an Astartes.”
"And Terra probably has his supporters."
When Delia spoke, the other two people looked at her in surprise. This one was not a native of the Storm Star Territory. , but from the Sun Star Territory. It is said that she has a big backer on Terra, so the news she brings is often very accurate.
"When the Maelstrom Expedition was launched, it seemed that someone was deliberately trying to push him to the top, and after he went to Terra, he also received special hospitality. There is no news at all about his various extraordinary behaviors during the Maelstrom Expedition. The basis is not guaranteed to be true. Before entering the throne world, Imperial Prime Minister Tyrion personally went to greet her."
After mentioning the matter on Terra, the expressions of the two inquisitors became serious, because They couldn't help but think of another war group -
The Minotaur Chapter, this well-known council of high lords, or the royal thugs of the Chief of the Interior.
"Are the Astral Knights a force secretly cultivated by a certain high lord? This seems to be able to explain their recovery from destruction in such a short period of time. Is the empire now in such chaos?"
