Chapter 2809 Stability is more important than anything else
“Terra has been in chaos for a long time!”
As soon as Hannifer finished speaking, Armand stomped his foot hard.
“They actually tried to turn the Astartes into a tool of political struggle, and the Empire has become what it is today. It’s this kind of insect’s fault! I really wish I could have another Vangerich and kill them all! "
"This is just a guess. Anyway, let's leave this matter as it is. I have to figure out a way with other inquisitors on how to introduce Soshyan and the Suffering Alliance into a rule that can restrict him. If someone like him can take the right path, he may really become one of the greatest heroes of the empire in the future. But if he takes the wrong path, he may become the most terrifying traitor. I think the direction needs to change. Preserve him and guide him.”
"What do you mean? Are you going to compromise? Humph! We represent the final will of the throne, and there is only one thing we have to consider. Use the sword of faith to destroy any traitor who dares to betray the throne! No matter who he is! Even the political stability is not something we should worry about. We are not bureaucrats in the office, we are supervisors, secret police and executioners!"
"The Suffering Alliance is important to the stability of the Storm Star Territory! The significance of this cannot be dealt with violently. Our duty is to protect, not to destroy.”
“If you take a step back today, they will dare to take a step forward tomorrow. Don’t forget what the Inquisition relies on to maintain its authority. The will to never compromise! Even the Astartes must lower their heads in front of us, otherwise this empire will be in chaos! You can see what Soshiyan looks like, he is not a simple Astarte. Special, if we let him continue to develop like this, who will care about him in the future? You? Me? Terra? Do you know how destructive an Astartes war group will be?"
Facing his stubborn colleagues, Hannifer sighed slightly, then shook his head helplessly and said:
"What's the use of talking about this now? If we didn't stop the Suffering Alliance when it was established, the strength of the Astral Knights would not be there yet. If you don’t stop him when he’s recovering, you’ll have to wait until his wings are full before you stop him. Can you afford the price?”
"No price is acceptable, no betrayal is forgivable. What are the principles of the Inquisition? I hope you haven't forgotten that the Adeptus Astartes must be tamed. If we compromise, we will open a hole that cannot be opened. , the Inquisition has paid countless prices to face the strength of the Adeptus Astartes. Have you not forgotten the Abyss Expedition in thirty-seven thousand years? The thirty Astartes Chapter also had to fight. Submission under command, while this proved to be a tragedy, had its value and was seen as a sign that the Inquisition had tamed the Adeptus Astartes. How many Chapters are there in the Alliance of Tribulation now that we can order them to launch again? An abyss expedition! This requires the unity and efforts of everyone, rather than thinking about how to compromise!"
Delia, who had been looking at the two silently, said softly: "Those thirty! The chapters have nothing to do with each other, and they are all located in areas with strong imperial power such as the Obscurity Star Realm and the Sun Star Realm. However, the war groups of the Tribulation Alliance have long been united with each other, and after years of running-in, they have become a monolith. I heard that even the Mantis Warriors have recently joined forces. Come and join, once the scale of these nearly ten battle groups gets into trouble, today's empire is no longer the same as the empire of thirty-seven thousand years. In the Badab War, only four battle groups rebelled, and the empire was difficult to cope with. The more powerful Once the Alliance of Tribulation breaks out in this remote and barren land of the Storm Star Territory, Armand, do you think the Empire will deal with the issue of the Alliance of Tribulation, or will it deal with the person who raised the issue? Even the Badab War is almost a hundred years old. You know the empire's current stasis and decline better than anyone else. Hanif's words are correct. The Alliance of Suffering has become a climate. In addition, Soshyan Alexei is far from an ordinary Astartes. He still has the Terra Grant. He has the title of chief executive and has contacts with many forging worlds. If he acts easily, let alone seize his handle, he is likely to humiliate himself again just like this time. The resources he can mobilize are far greater than we imagined. It can even allow the state religion to choose to give up an exclusive Grand Inquisitor. It will be better to adopt milder methods at the moment."
Delia said this, and Armand had no choice but to do so. Thinking about it, after being silent for more than ten seconds, he hissed:
"We need to shift the attention from the Suffering Alliance to Soshyan. This incident is not only a demonstration, but also a Warning, he didn’t even take us seriously. You didn’t even notice that he didn’t even ask us whether we accepted it or not when he left. He just warned us that he had plenty of political resources to fight with us.”
His view was agreed by the other two. Armand, the seemingly rough judge, was actually more sober than anyone else. Hannifer nodded and said:
"Yes, so in the future I am going to start from Starting from his home planet, the Inquisition has never successfully established a base there since he settled in the Nessen system. I think this means something. Maybe there is some secret hidden in that place that he does not want to be discovered. No matter how bad it is, They can also find out the combat readiness of the Astral Knights. In this era, especially in the Storm Star Territory, it is extremely difficult to maintain stability. Unless it is a matter of principle, try not to stir up trouble. "
After talking for a long time, Armand waved his weapon impatiently, and then looked at the chaotic things.
“By the way, who should keep these?”
After returning to the Scar of Victory, Soshyan immediately informed Seth and Mazhar that the matter had been resolved by himself. , the Relic Chapter has cleared its grievances and can begin the joining ceremony of the Alliance of Suffering.
Subsequently, representatives of all members of the alliance, Soshyan, Seth, Mazhar, Arash and others gathered in the hall where the oaths were made in the past. However, some people were not present. The Chapter Leader of the Ranger Warriors was leading the team to participate in the battle, so he sent The second company commander came to attend the meeting, and the wailer was the tenth company commander who attended the meeting on behalf of Malakin.
The Weeper is the weirdest among them. It’s not that Malakin is too busy to participate, but according to the Tenth Company Commander of the Weeper, it’s because he can’t contact the battle group at all!
Yes, the Weeper is missing, but not completely missing, because nine months ago the Tribulation Alliance received a red signal from Sondheim 5, an agricultural world that is a holy Part of the Diocese of Casparen, there are almost two billion people, most of whom are farmers (serfs). The food they produce mainly supplies billions of people in the religious world. However, there has been a serious gene stealer riot recently, and the state religion The militia was completely unable to suppress it, and the planet was located at the very edge of the Storm Star Territory, almost beyond the range of the Star Torch. For a time, there was no power around to rescue. Malakin immediately led seven battle groups without saying a word. The company went to support.
