"Commander Alexei, the results of your war are satisfactory. However, in the process...many documents accusing the expeditionary force of violating the rules were sent to us, but most people think that compared to the military
Pressure and a famous hero of the empire, these are nothing, although in my personal opinion, victory in the war should not be at the expense of destroying the order of the empire."
As soon as the blindfolded Navigator Ambassador Yola Rama finished speaking, he was immediately replaced by a louder voice.
"The attack on Angstrom and the compromise with Reza's group of technological heretics is close to betrayal!"
The Forge General's roar came from the microphone. This man occupied a huge position at the other end of the table, occupying almost half of the high-collar chair. His nominally human body was sealed into a whole pile of machinery.
, flashing and making harsh sounds in the thick energy cables, his head is the least modified part of the body, but even so it has become a bronze product without hair, and the eyes are also made of emerald lenses.
.
"If the expedition continues, what will you change next - are you going to abrogate the Olympia Accords?"
Finally, Soshyan realized that after eating the carrot, the stick had arrived, but it was not his character to bear it.
He chuckled softly and sneered at each other.
"How did Angstrom behave during the First Badab War? Couldn't your advanced observer see it? Great Sage Lasky, if I hadn't used force to force Angstrom to take sides.
, then can you send a messenger to convince them? If Mars can command any forge world at will, then this war does not need us at all, and the power of the Mechanicus will be enough to complete it."
A harsh noise came from the Foundry General's microphone.
"you you--"
Everyone knows that Mars' control over various forging worlds is very weak, but this does not mean that anyone dares to speak out in front of the forging general.
Therefore, one can imagine how angry Lakis was, and even the various sensors on his head burst out with sparks.
"Imperial decrees are inviolable."
Avilisha Drachma, the thin-cheeked director of the Ministry of Justice, said meaningfully:
"It is unacceptable to change the terms of the law at the slightest military setback. We hope that this expedition can become a model, especially for the Adeptus Astartes, but unfortunately it is not perfect."
"More importantly, after spending countless manpower and material resources, Huron was not executed."
The words of the elder Pope Baldo Slester were more straightforward and more aggressive. He was the one who most liked to over-decorate himself after Hamotarion, putting his hands with many rings on his body.
He stood on the stone table in front of him, and then stared at Soshyan with a cold, prophetic gaze.
"We have not satisfied the will of the God-Emperor. This is a manifestation of the weakness of faith."
"If you want a perfect crusade, why not choose a perfect man? I am just an Astartes."
"Yet Huron's escape does not appear to have been an accident."
Cleopatra Sis, the representative of the trial court, glanced at Soshyan with cold eyes and said slowly:
"According to the battle report and the post-war report of the Great Maelstrom Tribunal, it seems that your judgment was unexpected at that time, causing Huron to escape from the battlefield. Of course, I am not blaming you, because you are the one who is really fighting.
Rather than us, no one here can blame you in this war, because indeed no one can do better than you, but I also hope that you can understand that the responsibility we bear will not end until Huron is dead.
It means that maybe it won’t be long before the results of this expedition will be in vain.”
Soshyan remained expressionless. Under the sunlight, his face was as hard as the marble statues in the square, and then he just replied lightly.
"I accept this as my responsibility."
However, at this moment, his heart was full of disgust and tiredness. For some reason, he even felt that the Eternal Royal Court of the Spirit Clan was pretty good. At least even if they knew that he was a human being, they would still bow down.
At least in that place, he was the master, and no one dared to question himself like this.
"Ahem."
Along with Hamortarion's cough, all sounds disappeared.
"No matter what, Chapter Commander Alexei, you have curbed the heretical pirate threat that has spread in the Maelstrom area. We are not blaming you, but our responsibilities require that we must pay attention to any problems that evolve into larger hidden dangers... Let's put these aside.
Well, in order to commend you for your contribution and achievements, on behalf of the throne and the Imperial Council, I would like to grant you the honorary title of Guardian of the Maelstrom, as well as the Supreme Medal of the Throne. Your deeds and glory will be spread to all directions of the empire. At the same time, the Astral Knights fight
The regiment will also gain the right to rule several worlds and the right to recruit troops near the home star of the Storm Star Territory."
The reward is not bad, but Soshiyang feels as sick as eating a fly now.
Because he knew that Guardian of the Maelstrom was once Huron's title, and the title given to him by the other party was more of a slap and a warning - the high lords wanted to tell him that they would not allow the second Star Claw to appear.
, they will keep staring at themselves.
Soon, 10 guards in red clothes and holding halberds walked in. One of them was holding an eagle flag. The pattern of the flag was two sharp swords piercing the head of a roaring beast, and the beast and the stars
The Claws' old chapter emblem is very similar, and the twin swords are the titles of the Astral Knights.
But from another perspective, it is equivalent to combining the chapter logos of the Astral Knights and the Star Claws.
Soshyan knew that the high lords were really trying to make him sick, but they chose not to use the red pirate symbol, and had to use the star claw.
Another guard was holding a red silk cushion, with a gorgeous and exquisite medal inside. Its main body was a double-headed eagle wearing a crown and surrounded by olive branches. The base below was inlaid with red and green gems, and above the double-headed eagle
There is a larger hollow palace connected to the ribbon, and there is a sparkling diamond in the crown.
The Supreme Medal of the Throne can be said to be the highest-ranking medal in the empire after the Great Rebellion. It is also called the Crown Medal. It is said that it has been awarded to no more than a hundred people in the past 10,000 years.
Although he felt very aggrieved, Soshyan could only walk down from his seat and come to the high platform where Tirian was sitting. Fortunately, he was not asked to kneel down on one knee, otherwise he would definitely not do it.
Tirian stood up, using the terrain to be almost eye level with Soshyan, and then picked up the medal on the guard's red silk pad.
"On behalf of the Imperial Council, I commend you for your immortal achievements. Under the gaze of the throne, I hereby award you, Soshyan Alexei, with the highest order of the throne. I hope that you will continue to implement the emperor's aspirations."
Soshyan lowered his head slightly, and Tirian stepped forward and placed the magnetic medal on the chest of the opponent's armor.
At this time, Soshyan heard the other party whisper.
"No need to care, their lives are short and they are just passers-by in your long glory."
When the other party straightened up, with a smile on his face, Soshiyang felt complicated, but turned around silently and took over the flag.
It seems that everything is over just like that...
