The entire Senate is magnificent on the outside, and the interior is laid out like a theater, divided into several conference rooms. There are four large conference rooms in the southeast, northwest, and northwest. Which conference room the high lords gather in means that they want to discuss which part of the empire they want to discuss.
Direction matters, although more often the high lords prefer to go to more secret places.
And when Soshyan was escorted by the imperial guards, the dim corridor stepped into the light. As the door opened, the high dome of the auditorium was revealed. The next second he heard thunderous applause. The huge podium in the center was a high-collared
The meeting place of the Lords.
In the center of the Senate, there is a giant hexagonal marble platform built with a lot of manpower. It is inlaid with a huge, polished stone table, surrounded by a circle of lenses and holographic communicators. Only in rare cases, the high lord
They will use this place, and this is often a key event that determines the empire.
The seats surrounding the high platform in the center were filled with the top leaders of the Terran government. They were all applauding in unison. There were thousands of people sitting here, and every one of them was basically able to speak in the imperial political circles.
people.
The Imperial Guards stopped at the entrance, and Soshyan walked forward, stepping on the red carpet, beyond everyone's sight, and arrived at a podium made of huge mahogany.
Similarly, the twelve high lords also gathered together in their attire, wearing formal robes and sitting on the trumpet seats. The most special one was the Foundry General Oud Udia Lasky, whose
His body is more like a building than a human being, and there is basically no trace of human flesh. It is said that it is even difficult for him to move alone, and eight large cranes are needed to transport him to the palace.
In the center of the huge table, there is a huge golden eagle scepter, which is a relic of the hero Malcador. It represents that the Imperial Parliament was established under the instructions of the Imperial Prime Minister and assumed the responsibility of the empire's legislation, justice and
administrative power.
Weak light shines through the tall stained glass. In addition to the Forbidden Army, there are also a large number of Lucifer Black Guards armed with guns guarding the surrounding heavy gates. Soshyan can also hear the automatic turrets turning in hidden corners.
There was no doubt that their guns were ready to fire.
It was a ridiculous caution, they were afraid of being in the same room with a Space Marine, and Soshyan found it both ridiculous and pathetic.
What Tyrion said is absolutely correct. They are very neurotic. The complex political struggle has driven them almost to madness and paranoia. That is why they insist on adopting difficult-to-use methods in the safest place in the empire.
Confidence level security.
Or maybe they are not really worried about encountering external threats here, but are more worried about threats from their colleagues.
But no matter what, prudence and caution seem to be engraved deep in their souls.
Toot toot—
Just after Soshyan entered the table, the applause stopped, and then a sergeant in a gold-red uniform picked up a golden trumpet with a flag in his hand and played a lively tune.
In an instant, everyone stood up, including the high lords.
Immediately afterwards, the real door of the Senate opened with a bang. An old man wearing a black robe and holding a black scepter walked in with a solemn gait on the red carpet. Behind him were 6 people, lined up in two rows.
The first man in the column is wearing gorgeous metal ceremonial armor and holding a long sword, representing the former Sun Lord. The first man on the right is an old man holding a curved staff and covered with scrolls. He represents the oldest man in Terra.
of universities and scholars.
Then comes the second person from the left, wearing a light green robe with a hood, holding a pen and a thick book. He is the representative of description and history. The last person from the left is a middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo and wearing a singlet.
Side glasses symbolize service and service.
The second person in the right column is a judge wearing a wig and a thick robe, holding a code that is as thick as a large brick. The last person in the right column is a woman wearing a long skirt and holding a golden mask.
She looks to be in her thirties, very beautiful, with long blond hair tied back. She is a dancer and an artist.
These six people appear here not without reason, because they represent the six types of ministers who once served the emperor.
Then why are there no scientists and architects?
Because the Emperor himself is the most powerful scientist and architect.
After the six people entered, about ten meters away from them, two soldiers, also wearing gold-red uniforms and top hats, walked in solemnly. They both held a red silk cushion in their hands.
One is a golden laurel wreath, and the other is a scepter similar to the staff held by Soshyan. The laurel wreath is a legacy of the Emperor, and the scepter is a legacy of the regent primarch Guilliman.
And behind them was Tirian, who was wearing a blue robe that almost touched the floor.
The attendants neatly knocked their canes on the ground.
"Regent Robert Guilliman has arrived!"
I don't know why, Soshyan felt strange, but he couldn't connect the chubby, round blue creature with the original body, Robert Guilliman. Does this ritual have any meaning? Ten thousand
Years have passed and they still have to pretend that the original body is still in charge of the empire. Have these mortals become so guilty?
When Tyrion walked all the way to his place, the throne that was theoretically higher than that of the high lords, he spoke in a very ancient tone.
"My lords, please take a seat."
Everyone sat down one after another, but Soshyan had to stand. There was no way, there was no stool for him to sit on.
Immediately afterwards, Tyrion gave Sosh an unscripted speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we gather together in the Great Hall of the Senate. This building was built ten thousand years ago, when the Emperor still walked the earth, when even the sacred Terra was savage.
Occupied by warlords and degenerate tyrants, this land is now the sacred heart of the empire. The great lord of mankind has shown an unbreakable truth to future generations-peace and prosperity can only be guaranteed by the sword. This truth is in the
It has been repeatedly verified in thousands of years of history, and it has also been repeatedly verified here. Countless war instructions have been issued here, and the most severe trials have been witnessed here. We have also paid our final tributes to the fallen heroes here.
Respect, but without exception, everything is for the peace and prosperity of mankind and the empire, and this is often inseparable from those legendary and great heroes, so we can welcome a great hero, an outstanding hero here.
I am deeply honored to be the leader of the war!"
"...As we all know, there is an evil force entrenched in the Maelstrom. It once gained the trust of everyone, but in the end it betrayed the person it could not betray the most, the great lord of mankind. The former guardian became a man of destruction.
Or, the maelstrom is so close to the heart of the empire. This terrible lesion has become a tumor flowing with poisonous water in a century. It has threatened the fundamental security of the empire, and a great warrior must be eradicated.
, this leadership style must have a cohesive force that becomes the common link that unites the Adeptus Astartes, the Astra Militarum, and the Navy, and combines ambition, loyalty to the Emperor, and hatred of betrayal with an iron fist.
