Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"I have something else to do..."

The cardinal of the state church was the first to react and followed the representatives of the Tribunal out of the venue.

The representative of the Assassin's Court disappeared without knowing when.

"But their battleships haven't been revealed yet..."

The Navy Marshal was still indignant. This was a major event involving his own faction, and it was not in his plan to end it so easily.

"No need."

Prime Minister Melo shook his head at him, signaling him to stop making meaningless accusations.

Now that the Inquisition has come forward to challenge the largest source of authority, the subsequent investigation of this fleet is of little significance.

Pity.

Mello thought in his heart.

This motion was by no means a temporary one. As for the incidents of these war groups, it was just a pretext for him.

If the initial proposal goes as he wishes, the deliberate guidance of the policies at all levels will be a powerful purge of those parts of the existing war group that do not listen to orders and are accustomed to walking alone.

It's a pity that the direction of events is not as expected.

It was obvious that he had asked the majority of people for their opinions before the meeting started and received their support. Even the Imperial Fist, who was a temporary member, was deliberately absent to cooperate with his actions, but the final result was still an accident.

The Inquisition's betrayal was something he had not expected.

Because since the establishment of this organization, the surveillance and purge of the Astartes has always been one of their main responsibilities.

Melo never thought that the biggest obstacle would come from here, nor did he expect that this targeting of several ordinary battle groups would actually cause a reshuffle of the entire Tribunal's internal forces.

Yes, this is a naked internal shuffle.

He didn't need any intelligence evidence, it was enough to confirm the news from the representative who pretended to be relaxed but actually left in a panic.

The parliamentary representatives of the Inquisition hold no senior positions within them.

This can be seen from the fact that the tenure of this position can be as short as five years or as long as 100 years.

This seat is never fixed to one person, and sometimes it can even be occupied by ten people at the same time.

Since when does a position that is merely a mouthpiece require a temporary motion to be elected?

What kind of situation would allow an unknown ordinary member to be directly promoted to a high-ranking lord from a remote village far outside Terra, and directly sit on the seat of a parliamentary representative?

And all this process happened in just ten days?

What exactly do they want to express? What is happening there at this time?

Melo was sitting in his official residence, looking through the window of the huge Gothic building to the distant south.

It was the headquarters of the Inquisition built by the Emperor's personal order, and it was also the source of the power that brought today's storm to an unexpected halt.

The fact was just as he expected, in the huge Tribunal complex under the surface of Terra's Antarctic, a meeting concerning the fate of countless people was underway, and had been going on for a full 140 hours.

"The meeting isn't over yet?"

Junior Inquisitor Galsworthy asked the guard in a low voice outside the door of an underground palace.

The letter with the urgent mark has been stuck in his hand for three days. This letter involves the fate of dozens of worlds in the Extreme Star Territory.

If it could no longer be delivered to his superiors, he could not imagine the consequences.

"No, I think you can activate the emergency plan and decide the problem at hand by yourself."

He was obviously not the only one waiting nearby, at least a dozen low-level inquisitors were waiting for their superior.

Another colleague who was closest to him couldn't see his anxious look, so he gave a reminder.

"But I don't have this right!"

He couldn't help but slightly increase the volume, and then quickly retracted it under everyone's gaze.

"Then start the plan."

"Then my authority is not enough!"

"Then start a new plan..."

Haha...what a damn imperial joke!

A deep laugh rang out from the crowd, and it was obvious that this was not the first time these people had seen this happen.

In the past 140 hours, I don't know how much extremely important information has been transmitted from far away, but without exception, it has been blocked outside this cold door.

"What on earth were they discussing?"

The unimaginable Gowers couldn't bear it anymore.

He knew he shouldn't, but he still asked the question.

This is a rare meeting.

No, this may be the meeting with the largest number of people since the establishment of the Inquisition.

The total number of representatives from the three major religious orders and several small religious orders exceeds thousands.

After a certain signal was sent, they quietly returned to Terra from all over the Empire.

After sneaking around the empire's sight and arriving at the Tribunal through secret channels, they quietly and tacitly began to flow to their respective venues under an ancient agreement.

A very small number of them, the absolute core members of less than 300 people, will have the right to directly enter the main venue to participate in this important discussion;

The remaining high-level members can only be guided into the secondary venue to witness their fate under the transfer of video signals.

The boss of the low-level judge Gowers is the one responsible for listening.

Yes, they can only witness or listen, they only have this right.

But even this is an honor that is hard to replace.

This is an almost unimaginable scene within the Tribunal, which has the core spirit of "anti-authority and suspicion of everything".

But given that the process for launching this conference is so old, it was never thought that it would be launched one day when it was first established.

All members who are informed and have the honor to attend the meeting are willing to temporarily put aside their past professionalism and participate in this meeting wholeheartedly.

"I declare! The intermission is over."

In the ancient bronze-toned hall, High Lord Inquisitor Rudolf Kons, the temporary chairman of the Terra Council of Tribunal, lowered his head, tapped the microphone three times, and then said.

The seats at the venue were mostly full at this time. High-ranking judges from all over the empire had different expressions, but they all looked at his figure indifferently.

The resume of each of these people is legendary. Anyone who goes out can easily cause a bloody storm in a certain province of the empire.

At this moment, they were all sitting quietly under the rostrum, witnessing the launch of a certain agreement regarding the establishment of the Tribunal.

Facing these sword-like gazes, Rudolf Kons subconsciously licked his lips, and then looked at the Gray Knight Supreme Master Walden at the end of the rostrum.

The latter also responded firmly after feeling his gaze.

"I declare that the twelve seats of the original parliament of the Tribunal have officially resumed operations!

Led by the Holy Hammer Order, the three major orders serve as permanent seats! The seat ratio is 4:3:3, and the remaining two seats are non-permanent seats, rotated by 11 small religious orders!

In addition, the Holy Hammer Order officially announced its reorganization!

The Gray Knights Chapter will officially take over the seat within the Inquisition.

And as planned, retired Gray Knight members will be provided year by year to supplement the vacancy of high-ranking inquisitors in the order! "

(Before it was split into the three major orders, only the Holy Hammer Order had an initial seating capacity of twelve in the Inquisition.

Theoretically, there are eight seats for the Gray Knights and four seats for the mortal inquisitors of the Inquisition.

There were initially four mortal judges, two died in battle and two defected.

This meeting paid for half of the permanent seats in order to successfully restore the Gray Knights' dominance in the Holy Hammer Order. )
