Chapter 1024 The Supreme Lord and the Undead
Before communicating with Lion, Guilliman learned about the transport fleet reported by the Logistics Department.
The Logistics Department was established by Guilliman himself after his return. They are only responsible for counting and integrating the materials aided by the Empire and Talon. They do not have many ships, so most of the transportation of materials is handled by other Imperial agencies.
When he first learned about this, Guilliman did not put all the faults on the High Lord.
After all, it is not the first time that the Imperial agency is inefficient and makes mistakes. If it is a mistake to follow the rules to focus on the transportation of materials in Orpheus, which is a battlefield outside the star zone, then this kind of mistakes has accumulated enough to kill people from top to bottom in the Empire.
But the appearance of the Supreme Lord, the Emperor of Humanity and the Grand Master of the Assassin Court, confirmed Guilliman's speculation in his heart, and confirmed that this matter was done by those Supreme Lords who secretly opposed him.
The Emperor of Humanity was not with the fleet of the Ultramarines from beginning to end. She had left Talon for a period of time before and only appeared recently.
Appearing in the private residence of the Grand Master of the Assassin's Court, he directly persuaded the Grand Master to follow him to leave Terra and witness something with his own eyes through psychic power.
The thing he witnessed was that five high lords had left Terra and went to a tomb world in the eastern part of the galaxy.
The Grand Master thought this was impossible because he saw with his own eyes that all the Supreme Lords had just finished a meeting, but he didn't know why he felt that the person in front of him was very convincing, so he followed the Emperor who did not reveal his identity to the tomb world.
There, he saw the ceremony prepared by the Necrons to welcome the guests, saw Imotekh who was not on the front line of the war, and saw five of the Supreme Lords talking to Imotekh in fear and hope.
The Grand Master thought he was deceived by psychic power until the Emperor brought him back to Terra and caught a Supreme Lord who was clearly going to the tomb world but was still on Terra in the eyes of others. After dissecting it, he found that it was just a bionic robot.
As for what the five Supreme Lords said when they went to the Tomb World, the Grand Master and the Emperor have not said it yet, because they have something simpler and more direct for Guilliman to watch after the communication with Lion is completed.
"Who are the five Supreme Lords and what they talked about in the Tomb World." The Grand Master took out a ring that was passed down by every Grand Master of the Assassin Court and presented it with both hands, "This is evidence."
Guilliman took the ring, and when his hand touched the gem on the ring, he saw everything in his sight.
Directly from the perspective of the Grand Master of the Assassin Court in the Tomb World a few days ago.
The five Supreme Lords are the Commander-in-Chief of the Astra Militarum, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Master of the Astra Militarum, the Ambassador of the Navigator, and the Master of the Astra Militarum.
Guilliman was very calm. To be honest, he was not surprised.
Except for the non-permanent Commander-in-Chief of the Astra Militarum, the others among these five Supreme Lords were all people he had offended before.
Guilliman still remembered that when he just returned, some of the people sitting in the five Supreme Lords' seats opposed him, while others supported him. However, as the Supreme Lords at that time gradually retired in the heavy affairs and extremely brain-consuming conspiracies, the Supreme Lords he saw now were indeed against him.
Especially now that he has become a powerless commander-in-chief of the Astra Militarum.
"I welcome you on behalf of this tomb world."
Imotekh's judicial officer saluted the five Supreme Lords who arrived.
Unlike Guilliman's expectations, these five Supreme Lords were not cowardly people who were servile. They were quite arrogant in front of those skeletons.
The five Supreme Lords ignored the judicial officer at all, but looked directly at Imotekh himself.
"We are now in a state of war. We are not friends visiting each other, but enemies sitting at the negotiation table." The host of the Star Language Hall said firmly.
"We may not be friends, but we can definitely get along. Otherwise, why would you take the initiative to contact the people I sent, and then come here at the risk of being replaced by the mechanical version of you forever?" Imotekh said to the host.
"We are here because we want to prevent humanity from a tragic war that is bound to fail, and because the people you sent show that you have enough sincerity."
"This is for the human race."
"Yes! For the human race!"
The High Lords were all righteous and acted as if they were heroes who were willing to die for humanity.
Guilliman, who used the Grand Master's Ring to review the meeting from the Grand Master's perspective, was quite satisfied with this. At least they did not look like cowards who were begging for mercy and just wanted to survive.
"For your race?" Imotek looked down at the five Supreme Lords. "Each of you is a fellow who will do everything he can to get a share of wealth from the warriors on the front line of your race. You really work hard, and what you greedily take is your reward. People like you are willing to come here at the risk of your life, so you are not completely selfless, right?"
The Supreme Lords were speechless.
But it's not that there are no arguments. It's just that after all, in the tomb world, this is almost like running here to die, but just for that little possibility, you have to come here, so it's better not to argue about morality and get straight to the point.
"We have no intention of going to war with you."
"You didn't choose to fight us, or were forced into a desperate situation. You were just tied to the chariot."
Imotek told lies, but he was not a real living creature. There was no emotion in his language. Even the Supreme Lords could not tell the truth from the words.
"Who tied you to the chariot? Wasn't it the Silent King Szalak who didn't let you live? You should think so in your heart."
"But it's not true. We have no intention of going to war with you. It's just a star god who started the war."
Then, Imotek personally told everything about the Kasa Dynasty, about the Lord of Talon, and about the previous Kasa Dynasty's war against Menak... everything.
There were no lies, but what was said was not the whole truth.
In short, it was to instill in the Supreme Lords that the Human Empire did not need to participate in the war, and the Human Empire was kidnapped and put on the chariot.
After hearing all this, the commander-in-chief of the Star Army questioned Imotek: "You said you had no intention of war, so why did you massacre humans, why did you go to war with us?"
"When our dynasty woke up, it found that you occupied their territory. Is it unreasonable to massacre you?" Imotek walked past the five Supreme Lords, "Or are you a race that is extremely noble on the moral level? When you find that others have invaded your land, you will not take up weapons to kill but sit down and talk?"
Seeing that the Supreme Lords had no way to argue, Imotek struck while the iron was hot: "You deployed your troops outside our territory, can't we use the same method to prepare for unexpected events?"
"I want to ask you, when your warmaster led the army to attack us, the two months of the attack..."
"Did we fight back?"
