Stars for the good Warhammer

The meeting with the Terran envoys was held in the family meeting hall on the top floor of the Governor's Palace. It has never been open to outsiders in the past hundreds of years. It is the most solemn venue in the entire palace. In order to prevent those who The envoys from the Golden Throne felt that they had been neglected, and the butler Kalman who was responsible for receiving everyone specially led the group here.

Not long after, after briefly describing the purpose of the investigation team's trip, the shield captain named Achalo set his sights on Dante, who was sitting across the conference table.

"I want to know if any members of the Torchbearer Fleet have ever been to Haven."

Facing the shield captain's inquiry, the old space warrior just shook his head with a calm look.

"I have never known of their existence. As for the Primaris Space Marines you mentioned, this is the first time I have heard of them."

Looking at the old man's firm eyes, Acharo nodded silently at first, and then his eyes fell on the planetary governor sitting next to Dante across an empty seat.

"So Mr. Otto, as the manager of this star field, have you heard anything about them?"

As the other party's words fell, everyone present immediately turned their attention to Otto. As a harmless little governor, he could speak in front of a group of glittering Imperial Guards and Astartes. , to be honest, this kind of experience is quite interesting. Most people will not have such an experience easily.

But having said that, as a relatively famous plot in the background of the Warhammer story, Otto still has a certain understanding of the fleet called the Torchbearers. It was an expedition fleet sent by Robert Guilliman. All of them What was being transported was the new type of Astartes known as the Primaris Space Marines, as well as the accompanying genetic technology.

It is a secret weapon developed by the great sage of the Mechanicus, nicknamed Doracall by the hammer guys, using the past 10,000 years. The reason why it has such a title is precisely because it is related to a certain Japanese comic. Like the mechanical cat, Nobi Guilliman is always able to pull out the secret weapon properties to solve problems from under his fourth-dimensional red robe when he encounters difficulties.

The purpose of this fleet is to help the loyalist war groups trapped in the dark side of the empire to replenish their forces as quickly as possible. In order to allow each war group to smoothly receive support from the Primaris Space Marines, Guilliman also specially dispatched A squadron of Custodes accompanied the fleet.

But even so, something unexpected happened in the end. Not long after the Torchbearers entered the dark side, they encountered an expeditionary force from the Black Templars. Those stubborn guys were unwilling to accept the Primaris joining. , and even clashed with the friendly forces who came to support them. In the end, even the Imperial Guards died under their swords. This was the final fate of the Torchbearer Fleet.

However, even if he knew this, based on the principle of doing more than doing less, Otto did not intend to say it out loud. After all, saying too much would more easily arouse suspicion.

"I'm very sorry. Due to the interference of subspace storms, we don't know much about the situation in the outside world. All our sources of information are brought by businessmen and civilians who have fled here, and among them, I have never heard of anything. There is news about that imperial fleet."

Achalo didn't hear anything wrong with Otto's answer, so after asking a few simple questions, he immediately turned his attention to the great sage Murat and the On the body of Noela, the female governor of Cologne No. 3.

Although he is a noble Imperial Guard, the Shield Captain named Achalo behaved very humbly and politely during the entire questioning process, and he did not seem to have the attitude of a high-ranking person at all.

Soon, after listening to the arguments from all parties, Acharo's tone paused for a moment, and then he continued to speak to everyone present.

"Actually, the Regent sent us to Haven for two more important purposes."

When he said this, he set his eyes on Dante again.

"Lord Guilliman has heard the rumors about Sanguinius, and he wants to know how the Blood Angels view this matter."

Up until this point, the atmosphere at the entire meeting was considered harmonious, but it was not until Dante began to explain some of the recent actions of the Blood Angels, as well as the prophecies of Sanguinius and Achalo.

Not long after the chapter leader finished speaking, the Terran noble who was sitting next to the members of the Honor Guard with a somewhat impatient expression suddenly spoke.

"It's so ridiculous. How are you going to prove that the phantom you saw was not a trick of heretical wizards?"

Faced with the question from the representative of the high lord, Dante first looked at the Forbidden Army on the side, and then replied calmly.

"We're trying to figure it out for sure."

However, the Terran envoy was just dismissive of such an answer.

"I am here to convey the orders of the Council of Terra to the Blood Angels. Since the Blood Angels have ended their battle with the Tyranids in Baal, they should obey the instructions of Holy Terra."

As he spoke, he placed an official document that was rolled up and wrapped in silk with prayers written on it and stamped with the seal of the High Lords Council on the outside.

"The Lord Chief Blood Angel will destroy the heretical force called the [Ash Alliance] that recently appeared in the dark side of the empire within the specified time."

Having said this, the envoy glanced in the direction of Otto.

"In addition, the same goes for the Sayles family of Haven. You need to cooperate with the local sector government's crusade plan to find the hiding place of those heretics."

The moment they heard this, everyone present, including Otto, fell silent.

And then, the special envoy continued to ask.

"Tell me, how much do you all know about the heretics who call themselves the Ash Alliance."

Faced with the somewhat arrogant tone of the Terran envoy, Otto first glanced at Dante, who was silent beside him, with his peripheral vision, and then set his sights on Sage Murat at the end of the conference table. body.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the venue became a little weird at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, but after about ten seconds of silence, I heard the old Chapter Leader Astartes suddenly state in a slightly hesitant tone.

"actually"

"I've gotten to know them a little bit."
