Chapter 684, Seats
Salisius strode on the Golden Pass.
The two Otaupis guards who followed behind them held their heads high and looked intently; the two in front of them quickened their pace and pushed open the heavy door in front to make it easier for Salius The steps kept crossing over.
Striding into the conference hall, Salisius glanced around for a week, and his steps involuntarily slowed down.
He saw a long conference table, and the people sitting on it were all figures.
The one at the top looks like a mortal. This is the first time Salius has seen it, but he has seen portraits and images many times.
That was the Marshal of the Imperial Astra Militarum, the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Front of the Iron Armor Campaign, the Head of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory, the Governor of the Alliance, and a legal Alpha-level psyker certified by the Imperial Psychic Order: Gu Hang.
The person sitting first on Gu Hang’s left hand side is also known to Salisius.
That was Su Lie, the first Commander-in-Chief of the Western Front before him and the Phoenix Lord of the founding Chapter - Phoenix Chapter.
Earlier, Salisius had received news that the Phoenix Legion had reappeared and played a decisive role on the battlefield.
Salius was indeed surprised by the return of the Phoenix Chapter.
Although I don’t know how it was done, it is obviously all thanks to Gu Hang.
The person sitting second on the left is also a Space Marine. He wears a black-painted power armor with a black cross on a white background on his shoulder.
That is the marshal of the fourth fleet of the Black Cross Chapter, Xi Rui. It stands to reason that he is the second-largest figure in the disappeared Northern Front Army, second only to Marshal Leroy. He was, and is now, the supreme commander of the remaining troops of the Northern Front Army.
The second position on Gu Hang’s right is the Phoenix Chapter Commander who has been fighting alongside him for the past year and saved his life, whom he admires very much, Martins Sa. Lars.
He didn't know most of the rest. However, no one could recognize them, but the signs and decorations on these people were all very obvious.
There are high-ranking inquisitors of the Order Against Foreigners, Sisters of the Sisters of Battle, and admirals of the Imperial Navy...
The largest number are the Chapter Leaders of a group of Space Marines.
A person with the status of a chapter leader can also be described as a ‘group’.
Not to mention Martins, Blood Shark, Dragon King's Spear Chapter Leader Alma Ewing and Tai Shichen also fought alongside and knew him on the Western Front battlefield. people.
In addition, there are two Chapter Leaders. They are painted in the New Age Torch with orange-red upper body and copper-colored lower body, and the Furious Flame Chapter with orange-red and black paint.
These two warbands who were sentenced to the Atonement Crusade are now serving under the Alliance. Of course, their chapter leaders are not the ones from before, but were promoted from the newcomers in the future. But no matter how shallow the qualifications of these two new chapter leaders are; how low their status as the Atonement Chapter is, the identity of the chapter leader is here after all, symbolizing that their subordinates control an entire standard interstellar The warrior group is already a valuable force. Not to mention, behind them, there is Gu Hang's support.
Nothing else counts, the last item alone is enough for them to serve.
Such a table of people was enough to make Salius take back his wind-like footsteps.
The sound of the Space Marine's feet hitting the floor is very heavy most of the time. Of course they can control their pace, allowing themselves to run quickly without making any sound. However, they usually do this during stealth operations. Usually, they stomp loudly on purpose, in this way, to demonstrate their power and to intimidate opponents and enemies.
The same is true in political and military conversations.
Originally, Salius instinctively did this. But now, he has to relax a little.
At the same time, he also noticed that there were only two places on the entire long table.
One is the first one on Gu Hang’s right. The second one is directly opposite Gu Hang, at the other end of the long table.
Now, the multiple-choice question was placed in front of Salithus.
Both positions are available for him to choose.
Choose the person directly opposite Gu Hang, at the other end of the long table, so that it looks like he is in the same position as Gu Hang.
In itself, Salius thought so before coming.
But now, he hesitated again.
Should I actually sit on Gu Hang's right hand side?
Of course, this position is also very grand. Sitting face to face with Su Lie does not humiliate Salius very much. However, if that were the case, he would be equivalent to sitting below Gu Hang. In a sense, it seems to mean that after the merger of the Western and Southern Fronts, his status will be one level lower than that of Gu Hang. The commander-in-chief of the Southern Front, Gu Hang, is the one who calls the shots here, not him.
This is not in line with his initial thoughts.
The Western Front is different from the Northern Front which has been destroyed and can be said to not exist.
The Western Front still retains considerable combat effectiveness. Moreover, if we really talk about achievements, the Western Front eliminated the biggest leader of the Iron Armor Rebellion, the leader of the Iron Armor Chapter, Humphrey Paul himself.
Isn't this enough to put the Western and Southern Fronts on equal footing?
If you think about it carefully, it’s really not possible.
Without the support of Martins, the outcome of the Western Front might be a little worse than that of the Northern Front, but that would be limited.
If Martins hadn't come to the rescue at the critical moment in the final battle, Salius himself might have become the soul of Humphrey Paul.
Really speaking, in terms of contribution to the Western Front, Salius himself is much higher than Martins?
I'm afraid that can't be said.
To be exaggerated, 50-50 is not an exaggeration.
In this case, Martins can only sit in the second position on the right. What should Salisuus do?
What's more, Martins is actually still a subordinate of Gu Hang's Southern Front Army.
It would be no humiliation for Salius to sit face to face with Su Lie, his former commander-in-chief on the Western Front and the leader of a start-up battle group.
Salius struggled for a while and finally made a decision.
He followed his heart and chose to sit first on Gu Hang’s right hand.
“I definitely don’t acknowledge Gu Hang’s absolute leadership position.”
“I just show respect for him.”
“Otherwise, sitting at the front, it seems The sense of antagonism is too strong and is not conducive to unity..."
"Su Lie, Xi Rui, and Martins are all sitting in the back. It shouldn't be embarrassing for me to sit in front of them, right?"
Many thoughts went through his head in an instant, and he unexpectedly slowly I went from being anxious to feeling at ease.
