Chapter 1026 Questioning and Punishment

…

One solar week later.

A transport plane detached from the Ultramar fleet and headed for Terra. The Ultramar fleet, which was only one jump away from the solar system, left for the front line, and the Supreme Lords of the High Lords Council were assembled again.

Although they were assembled under the order of the Regent, they were not in the offices of their respective Imperial institutions, but in the hall of the High Lords Council for face-to-face communication.

Under the mandatory order of the Regent, everything went extremely fast.

When Guilliman walked out of the transport plane and went directly to the High Lords Council, all the Supreme Lords were already waiting for him here.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Imperial Regent walked across the golden carpet and sat on the highest throne.

The magnificent statue of the Emperor stood behind the Regent's position, and the sword held in his hands emitted golden light that enveloped the Regent, adding a touch of sacred atmosphere to the Primarch.

Guilliman said nothing after sitting down, but the Supreme Lords had already begun to exchange glances, and the atmosphere in the entire council hall became much more solemn.

The five Supreme Lords who had met with Imotekh before were all here, not the artificial humans Imotekh used to disguise them. These Supreme Lords sat in a row, each with a gloomy face.

"The moment I got on the transport plane and flew to Terra, I heard something from my brother."

Guilliman spoke.

The loud voice of the Primarch echoed throughout the hall.

"Our enemies did not choose to counterattack the Orpheus sector, but the Elros sector."

"Before, due to the interference of some of you, the supply of materials for the transport fleet was concentrated in the Orpheus sector. Now, some battlefields in the Elros sector have been short of supplies."

Hearing the Primarch say this, the naval representative stood up to defend himself: "We..."

Guilliman raised his index finger to his mouth.

The naval representative closed his mouth.

"Master of the Astronomican Hall." Guilliman looked at one of the five Supreme Lords who participated in the talks, "Use your psychic power to show me the situation in the Elros Sector."

The Master of the Astronomican Hall stood up and used his psychic power calmly as if nothing had happened.

The entire building of the Parliament Hall "disappeared", replaced by a battlefield.

On a world that was invaded in the Elros Sector.

The sky was overcast, and green lightning was surging in the clouds.

That was the characteristic of the Sotek Dynasty, the strange weather and green lightning that appeared during the attack.

In the trenches under the clouds and lightning, the Astra Militarum crouched in the trenches.

They were Cadians.

Due to logistical problems and the fierce and rapid attack of the Necromancers, these Cadians have not yet received all the Talon equipment. They held laser rifles and tied the Talon grenades distributed to them by the Astra Militarum originally stationed on the world behind them while crouching in the trenches.

The earth began to tremble, and the top of the obelisk full of firepower arrays first appeared on the horizon, followed by the dense silver army, those undead warriors.

The Cadians squatted in the trenches, breathing heavily.

Countless artillery fire fell on the positions in an instant.

When the army of the Sotek Dynasty approached, the Cadians fired back at them with laser rifles, and when the enemy was about to approach not far from the position, these Cadians jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the enemy.

"Cartier's will to fight forever!"

The Cadians roared this battle cry.

After the end of the Golden Expedition, Cartier no longer needed to stand firm. This slogan died faster than the Supreme Castle Lord.

Instead, the will to fight will last forever, which means that even if the Cadian fortress world no longer needs to be the first line of defense against invasion, the Cadians will always fight in every war of the empire. This fortress world and the people in this world will not lose their will to fight because of the passing of their duties.

These Cadians rushed to the enemy like consumed military supplies, detonated grenades, and their flesh and blood bodies dissipated together with the enemy's living metal bodies in the microscopic material torrent that disturbed matter.

The psychic phantom projected by the master of the Astronomical Office ended as Guilliman raised his hand to signal.

Guilliman asked the Supreme Lords: "The Talons gave some infantry standard equipment directly to the Logistics Office out of their trust in me and their support for the Logistics Office I established, so that the Logistics Office can establish a perfect image in the minds of the Imperials."

"Even if the monthly output of the rifles they produce can arm our entire Astra Militarum, there is still a shortage of rifles due to your interference."

"Even if I am completely confident in the Logistics Office and they really have no mistakes, you only need to be responsible for sending the materials to the front line according to the statistics and calculations, and you still can't do this well."

The naval representative wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but was signaled to shut up by Guilliman.

"What the Star Language Hall host showed was the most extreme corner of the front-line war zone. If the Talons had given us all the standard equipment assistance directly, if their fleet had not arrived in the Elros sector and armed as many people as possible, the Elros sector would have been lost now."

"If those of you want to make excuses, there is no need, because I know this was a mistake."

As he spoke, Guilliman took out the ring of the Grand Master of the Assassin Court, slid it, and showed the meeting between the five Supreme Lords and Imotekh.

"But colluding with foreign enemies is unforgivable."

The meeting was fully shown.

The five Supreme Lords who had met Imotekh stood in place, still not panicking, but subconsciously approaching each other.

"You rebelled against the will of the God-Emperor and colluded with the aliens!" The Pope of the State Religion turned and rushed to the commander-in-chief of the Star Army beside him, clumsily hitting his crotch with his scepter, "You damn bastards! You traitors!"

The Pope's scepter did not hit anywhere, and the commander-in-chief of the Star Army punched him on the head. As several yellow teeth flew out, the Pope fell backwards to the ground.

"They were able to place androids on Terra to replace you when you left, and they were able to contact you." Guilliman glanced at the High Lord, "I guess this is not the first time you have colluded."

"Collusion? I don't think so, Regent." The head of the Astronomical Office refuted Guilliman, "When the entire empire fell into a war frenzy, and was tied to a chariot by the half-human and half-god thing Talon and happily worked for them, someone had to stand up and do something, instead of watching the entire race die."

"And you, what are you doing, Your Highness the Regent?" The Navigator Ambassador, who always stood with the Astronomical Office, stood up and took over the conversation, "You are like a puppet of the Talon people, like a spy of the Talon people, everything you do is inclined to them! Do you dare to cut your arm in front of us and let us see whether you have a machine or the flesh and blood of the God-Emperor in your body?"
