Sitting on the bench in the Stormbird transport cabin, the Terminator's armored joints were locked in place, and the swaying and impact of the gunboat as it landed in the atmosphere was almost impossible. Outside the armored window opposite, the sky seemed to be on fire, covered with orange and yellow, and the Space Marines seemed to rush out of the upper atmosphere in plasma.
When the darkness of the near-universe turned into thicker gas cyan, the "King of the Labyrinth" Astraion Moro dragged his attention to the spear he had placed at hand, and around him, other Minotaur warriors sat quietly.
Although the servants had conducted three preparatory rituals before boarding the Stormbird, Astraion Moro checked the weapons in his hand and used an automatic sensing magnifying glass to look for small pieces of impurities that might have come from suspended in the air.
Finally, he was convinced that his weapons were clean.
He didn't think there would be a battle next, but he never met with hostile encounters without preparation.
Astraion knew that Soshyan Alexey was strongly hostile to him, and from the moment he jumped out of the subspace node from the other side's fleet, he seemed to be able to feel it. He guessed that the other side should also understand what he represented.
"Envoy Faisal must be in trouble, and he should follow our advice."
A voice sounded, and Astraion turned his head to the right and looked at the company of Nagazelaus, who was also wearing the Terminator.
"Soshyan of the Knight of the Star Realm is a cunning man, and that mortal cannot beat him."
"He is the messenger, representing the Council of the High Lords, and his words are the words of the High Lords."
Astraion Moro replied:
“We must always be respectful anyway.
"I don't think that Soshiyan is so cunning,"
The avant-garde veteran Isullivan sat on the left of Zelaus, also a Terminator of the Underworld. This extremely rare and expensive equipment seems to be more common in Minotao, and it also shows the strong strength of the battle group from the side.
"The rebels are essentially cowards, and once there are signs of defeat, they will try to retreat. Such disloyal people lack the true belief in goal, but Soshiyan led so many troops but fought for several years without any results."
Hearing this, the avant-garde veteran Sora also spoke:
"Just I say, this Astral Knight is not much better than the Red Pirates. The last time they were—"
"alright."
Astraion Molo spoke with a little heavy voice.
"We are protecting the envoy, not judging anyone's character. Remember, we only need to carry out our mission, not rush to gain false honors, and focus on more critical tasks."
When he talked about it, there was a soft warning in his voice.
Suddenly, a data screen on the top of the cabin flashed, making the conversation quiet. As the picture enlarged, it moved to one side of the nest tower, and the apron gradually became clear.
Meanwhile the numbers on the display tell everyone that they are still 5 minutes away from landing.
In an instant, everyone stood up.
With a slight shaking, the storm bird began to slow down, and in the process the engine turned from a roar to a sharp sound.
Finally, after a sudden shaking, the vehicle stopped, and the ramp slowly opened.
In the flashing red warning lights, ten Minotao Terminators appeared from the darkness, the bomb gun was tightly held in their hands, and the power claws emitted a sluggish cold light.
The guards guarding the apron turned their heads one after another, and then an officer walked forward with doubt.
"Sir, this is a military alert area. Is there anything that can serve?"
Astraion Moro, who was towering in front of him, barely bowed his head, but made a low voice.
"Envoy Faisal summons us and brings us to his side."
"This... we have not received any notification, please wait."
The officer walked to the communicator not far away and spent a minute communicating with his superiors. When he came over, the doubts on his face still did not disappear.
"Sir, the superiors don't seem to know about this. Now the envoy is meeting with the Supreme Lord Commander, you see..."
Astraion Molo's response was only three words.
"take me."
His tone was filled with authority that could not be refuted. The officer nodded after weighing the pros and cons.
"Sir, please come here, but... I'm not sure if there will be a release."
Soon, the silent Minotaurs were taken to the gate of the command center. At this time, the Star Knights guarding outside the gate immediately stopped them. The second company in charge was Ustad's.
"This is a military stronghold."
As the soldiers raised their detonating guns and pointed at these Minotao Terminators, Ustad walked up and looked at Astraion Moro.
"Stay away immediately."
"Envoy Faisal summons us."
Ustad shook his head.
"I have not received this notice. Now you are trespassing in military key areas for no reason. We have the right to kill you, so please leave."
Astraion suddenly held the spear in his hand tightly, but Robin drew his sword at a faster speed, pointed it at the other party, and warned with a gentle voice:
"Don't do anything randomly, otherwise I will cut off your head with my own hands."
Finally, Astraion suppressed his anger and hissed:
"The envoy of Faisal summons us, and I must go to him. This is our duty."
"I have not received any notice, but as a commander of the Astart War, you must go in, you can, but you must be disarmed, and you can only have one person, and the same is true for other commanders."
After a moment of silence, Astraion turned around and handed the spear and shield to the warrior behind him, and then his bomb gun, but just as he turned around and took a step, Ustad stopped him.
"this."
Ustad looked at the fighting knife on the other party's thigh and raised his chin.
"Are you afraid of a knife? Or are you going to humiliate the entire Astat Order?"

His appearance quickly attracted the attention of others, but he still moved forward as if no one else was around. Seth stopped him as he passed by the commanders waiting outside.
"Asterion? Why are you here? Who let you in?"
"Envoy Faisal summoned me."
"The envoy is meeting with the commander-in-chief. When will you summon you? You can wait outside."
However, Astraion ignored the other party's words and raised his legs to continue walking. Seth was about to attack, but was stopped by Leshand, and then shook his head. At this time, Seth suddenly noticed that the Terminators in the Military Information Center, who were in charge of guards did not seem to be trying to stop the Minotao Commander. He immediately mistakenly thought that the envoy had really summoned the other party.
"What the hell? What was he going to do when he called Astraion?"
Lesander didn't say anything, but looked at Astraion's back meaningfully and noticed that some Terminators had begun to move.
Soon Astraion arrived at the gate of the military intelligence room. Talos and Armnack, wearing simple power armor and helmets, immediately reached out to stop each other.
"Who are you? Why do you have to break in without saying a word? Do you know where this is?"
"I am Astraion, the commander of the Minotao War Chapter, responsible for protecting the Special Envoy of Fesar, and he is summoning me."
A contemptuous laughter came from under Talos' helmet.
"This is not a place where even cats and dogs can enter. This is a military important place and the highest level of confidentiality. If you enter it, you must kill us if you don't want to."
"Why did Soshyan bring Envoy Faisal here?"
"No need to explain to you."
Astraion was silent for a moment, suddenly accelerated, as if an out-of-control tank passed through the arms of the two.
“…You can’t go in.”
Amid Talos' lazy "drink" sound, the door in front of Astraion opened itself, and he stepped in without thinking-
Chapter completed!
