"... Leading an expeditionary army is not an easy task. All responsibilities fall on his arms. He not only needs to solve the turmoil caused by the enemy's plunder and attacks, and to ensure the logistics and replenishment of the expeditionary army, but also seek a precious balance between the constantly threatened galaxies and the galaxies occupied by the enemy. History is not a responsibility that a man and a woman bears on their own. But there are always some people called by history to deal with their special challenges. They all have the same traits, faithfulness, firmness and courage, and fearlessness. Only such people can perform their duties excellently, and this is not all. The hero Makado once had a famous saying - almost everyone can endure adversity of varying degrees, but if you want to test a person's true character, then give him real power, because power is the most easily lost honey."
"Only a true hero can face great power without being complacent, and only those who can always calm down in power can lead such a great expedition. So, ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the reconquerors of the Great Vortex, the destroyer of the Red Pirates, the real hero, the commander of the Battle of Soshiyan Alexei!"
In an instant, everyone stood up and faced Soshiyang, with applause thunderous.
Then a spokesman rose from Soshyang, and fortunately he prepared to speak, although it was not very long.
As the applause gradually stopped, Soshiyang spoke with a calm expression:
"Dear Prime Minister, high lords, ladies and gentlemen, as the Emperor's faithful warriors and servants, I am deeply honored to come to the sacred Terra and the sacred Senate. At the moment of receiving the expedition, my first feeling was panic, not fearing the enemy, but fearing the failure of the throne and mission. As an Astat, I have served for the throne for more than a hundred years. Eliminating heresy, aliens and traitors is our natural mission. Our existence means fighting, but I have never thought that I could bear such an important responsibility, but whether I am ready or not, I must accept this responsibility. As our Astat's proverb, death is the end of our duty, and we have no reason or excuse to shirk the mission that has been given to us.
"The enemy is cunning, they were our kind, but they betrayed everything that should be protected, Huron, the name that should be cursed ten thousand times, is the most evil and depraved traitor, but it is also familiar to us, because it was once a member of us, in a sense even the best part, this expedition was destined not to go well, we must be in the void, on the ground, on the front, on the rear, and even inside the expeditionary force
They fight... The emperor gives mercy and finally lets evil fall under justice, but I never think that this expedition is my personal or another victory for Astart. The most heroic sacrifice comes from the men and women of the Great Vortex. The greatest contribution is made by every loyal people of the Great Vortex. It is their courage, dedication and fearlessness that allows this expedition to defeat the enemy in such a short time. Their will is the root of the empire's standing."
As he said that, Soshiyan picked up the stick in his hand.
"Now, I have completed the mission entrusted to me by the Throne and the Parliament, and the Great Vortex Expeditionary Force has completely ended its journey. Under the authorization of the Imperial Parliament, I have fulfilled the duties of the Supreme Lord Commander for a long time. Out of respect for the Holy Astartes, I will return to a position belonging to Astartes, where I will hand over all my appointments and resign from all my public offices."
Soon, a servant came over, Soshiyan turned around and placed the rod on the red silk cushion, and Tirien immediately said:
"Captain Soshyan Alexei, you defended the sacred territory of the Emperor in the Great Vortex, you saved countless people oppressed by heresy, you gave the traitor a fatal blow. Although the expedition of the Great Vortex is over, you have more battles and missions to be completed. Your glorious virtues and great deeds will not disappear with your post. It will continue to inspire the descendants of the human empire, and your statue will stand on the gates of eternity, like countless heroes."
Then, the Imperial Prime Minister Tirien raised his hands.
"Everyone, let us pay our highest respects to the great great vortex reconquering Soshyan Alexey."
Everyone stood up and applauded.
About ten seconds later, the applause stopped and everyone took their seats again, and Tirien sat back on the chair.
Now it's time for the high lords to speak.
The first to stand up was Itu Hamotalion, the head of the inner minister, the highest lord, the most powerful man in the empire stared at Soshiyan with his cold eyes, his face was long and his skin was grayish white. This was the result of lack of sunshine. His eyes were in deep sleep, wearing heavy clothes, and countless medals on his chest. The surface of the gorgeous clothes was painted with golden threads from Mars technology.
In other years, the empire should be managed by people who can directly participate in the war, but now is an era of bureaucracy, and the power is suppressed by complex rules and processes that cannot be known, which has led to the status and fact that the controller of the bureaucracy actually becomes the real master of the human empire.
In other words, Itu Hamotarion is in a sense the real "Lord of Humanity" now, which is quite ironic.
According to Tirien, this is the wisest man among the Supreme Lords, a master of word games and political procedures, but he is also a harsh conservative, and a static political theory that advocates inaction and rule. He believes that the empire is in a perfect established state, and any attempt to reform is a betrayal of the empire.
More importantly, this is a very strong person who values ​​the advantage of first move.
"On behalf of the High Lords' Council, I would like to pay tribute to the great heroes of the expedition. It is your heroic dedication and dedication that has brought back the long-term stability of the Great Vortex area and the exile of the abominable traitor again."
Soshiyang just replied lightly.
"Everything is as the Emperor wishes."
"And I personally must thank you for your efforts. It is the victory of the Great Vortex War Zone that can make the long-sluggish tithe routes smooth."
Hamotarion continued, looking at Soshiyan with a sarcastic look.
"For ten thousand years, the law of the empire has maintained the balance of our power. This is all from the admonition of the Regent of the Primrose Robert Killiman. It is also his imposition of the code on all the Astart combat brothers that maintained the fragile balance between Space Marine and Terra. However, there will always be Space Marines trying to break this balance. Huron is a very typical example. His act of transcendence eventually became the most shameful betrayal, and he also became a slave to the destructive force. From this we should learn enough lessons, such as... All Huron's betrayal initially came from his "forced" and "stoppable measures" used as an excuse for war, as well as the random interference and modification of the system and laws of the empire. This is the sign of all betrayal."
