Brayton's facial muscles twitched violently, and he pointed at Calvin with trembling fingers but could not speak.
He is the most typical local noble of Terra, that is, a palace noble in the traditional sense.
He has been involved in the Government Administration since adulthood and has never been baptized by the battlefield.
Even Astartes have rarely dealt with each other, so how have they ever faced such inhuman height and imposing manner?
When Calvin walked up to him and rebuked him, he felt like a mountain approaching him.
The moment he looked into those eyes that contained thunder, it was like encountering a natural enemy, and the lowest level of fear in human genes was aroused.
The fragile will collapsed at the moment of contact with the divine soul, and the fragile heart of mortals almost stopped in the roar of a landslide.
Brayton suppressed his fear and tried to stand up to defend himself, but under the tremendous pressure as if he was facing a god, he couldn't even speak a word after opening his mouth several times.
But Calvin would not give him any more time. After confirming that the mortal in front of him was unable to resist, he no longer wanted to take another look at this ugly and despicable soul.
Calvin turned around, and the moment their eyes met, Trajan, the marshal of the imperial army, had already stood up and signaled.
The other supreme lords had recovered from the shock just now, but after seeing all the details about Calvin, their eyes became more complicated.
That is no ordinary Astartes warrior! Even if there are special beings that are close to four meters in armor, the innate temperament of each original body cannot be faked!
The long-laid memories were awakened from the minds of these veteran supreme lords. Those details that were only left in the secret books and family inheritance, about the demigods walking in the world, were compared with the tall figure in front of them.
One correspondence.
That's an indescribable feeling!
It is a perfection that can be shocked and moved as soon as you see it for the first time!
Even though they have different qualities, they are still extraordinary and can be noticed at a glance!
Although they had never seen this trait with their own eyes, the moment they saw Calvin, they suddenly understood all the seemingly exaggerated descriptions written on paper by their predecessors.
That...is really the son of God!
Calvin didn't need to say anything, just standing there was enough.
The attraction of divine souls to mortal souls is like the attraction of black holes to celestial bodies. And this overflowing soul charm is coupled with a huge body with perfect proportions but inhuman dimensions.
Calvin's identity is actually self-evident.
In addition, after arriving in Terra, he went straight to the Throne Court and was able to stay in that man's palace for half a day.
Even though his appearance was too bizarre and without warning, his true identity has actually been confirmed by the high lords.
A... Primarch?
A new... Primarch who has never appeared in any records of the Imperium?
How is this possible?
You must know that the original gene itself is the highest achievement of human biotechnology.
Even if it was as powerful as the Emperor himself, there was only one successful case in the early days of the establishment of the empire, when all the technology of the previous era had not been lost.
A Primarch?
Appearing after the Emperor himself has become trapped on the Golden Throne?
And only one person?
Can such a huge and extremely expensive cultivation project really be completed without the high lords being aware of it?
Even if people can hide things from the outside world, what about supplies? Where about equipment?
This is the core of the empire's rule. It can stand out among mortals. Everyone standing here is a thoughtful elite.
Various speculations and possibilities were quickly screened and eliminated in their minds, and an extremely outrageous inference appeared in everyone's minds:
This...don't really mean it literally, "the Emperor's son", right?
The eyes of the supreme lords began to look strange, and their unexplained glances looked back and forth between Trajan and Calvin, the marshals of the imperial army.
The only ones who could enter and exit the palace at will were the Custodes themselves, and the one who ordered the Custodes to take the Emperor's genes out of Terra could only be Trajan's order.
What does he want to do?
Or what does he want?
Yes, although the Custodes suffered heavy losses in the Great Rebellion and the subsequent Webway War, this was, after all, a story 7,000 years ago.
They don't know what the current state of the Forbidden Army has been like, but in the past seven thousand years, the Terran nobles' supply of troops to the Forbidden Army has never been lacking!
The Forbidden Forces themselves have long had the intention of leaving the palace again, but due to the joint boycott led by the Government Affairs Council, this proposal has repeatedly been put to no avail before the Senate has included it in a formal bill.
Thinking about this, several Terra lords wanted to slap themselves hard!
If there is demand, great! If there is demand, there is the possibility of cooperation!
Why didn't they think of this, or why didn't anyone dare to think of this?
You must know that Trajan, or their imperial army, really need a strong man to promote this agenda!
But now it's too late.
It seems that after waiting for thousands of years, the Forbidden Army and the man behind the Forbidden Army finally lost their patience.
They finally decided to break this self-constructed barrier with their own hands, and officially used this incident as an opportunity to return to the political stage of the empire!
Yes, it doesn't really matter what the reason is. What matters is how to deal with the current situation they are facing now.
The supreme lords calmly separated themselves from the fluctuating emotions and began to think about what Calvin's appearance meant to them.
Legion?
This concept, which is closely linked to the Primarch, instantly jumped into their minds.
The Order of the Holy Hammer has been uncharacteristically uncharacteristic in the past ten years, especially since there are rumors that after the Antarctic Charter Conference, they have completed the integration of power within the Inquisition.
But they don't understand what the Holy Hammer Religion relies on to make the other two major sects willing to retreat, and also to attract countless small factions.
This is something that requires a huge "cake" to do. They originally couldn't figure out what this "cake" was, but now they found the reason.
A new legion!
A legion that has almost endless recovery capabilities while the original body is still alive, and is not restricted by the Codex Astartes!
Thinking of this, these high lords unanimously looked at the person in front of them, but then gave up the idea of hostility.
The only thing that can restrain the existence of a Legion of Astartes supported by the Primarch is another legion of the same kind.
Does the Imperium still have a second Primarch? If not, what would happen if all the current Astartes Chapters were united?
It's impossible to fight, and with that man's support, it's impossible for this to happen.
Then only obedience is left, and only obedience can continue to maintain one's rights!
And only by preserving your own strength can you have the opportunity to continue to get more!
Fortunately, this is not a "Legion Master" from the Great Crusade era.
The high lords sighed.
Otherwise, given the prestige they possess, their old affiliations, and the countless connections they established in the process of regaining territory during the Great Crusade.
With the sight of a crowd of followers as soon as one ascends the throne, the high lords may not even have a chance to be loyal.
And Calvin's next behavior "confirmed" their suspicions:
After the two imperial guards dragged Breton away as he fell to the ground, Calvin, the new judge of the Supreme Lord, ordered Nicholas behind him to read Breton's charges face to face, and at the same time, he also informed them of something they had expected.
Within, but also beyond their imagination:
"After investigation by the trial court, it was found that the former Director-General of the Government Affairs Council died of murder.
The murderer was Reinhard von Skarder-in-Bulmerz Ze Breton, the successor chief, former speaker of the Imperial House of Representatives, and first-class Duke of the Empire.
During his term as Chairman of the Imperial Council, he betrayed the Emperor's trust and abused the power granted by the Empire.
Not only did it fund a number of cults that deviated from the Emperor's faith, but with the help of intelligence from "some people", it also instructed the cultists to assassinate the former Chief of Staff, Sir Melo Winston..."
The admiral's face twitched slightly, after hearing "some people" in Nicholas' mouth.
The representative of the Rogue Trader had no expression on his face, but his hand on the hilt of the rapier at his waist was stroking it slightly.
The pope of the state religion seemed to be in a daze, but after hearing that word, he secretly took a step away from the former.
The Martian Forge General, who was standing alone because his body was too big, let out an unknown mocking sound after a burst of electronic noise.
The eloquent statements of guilt continued, but no one cared about Brayton's fate.
Everyone believed that Calvin's purpose would never stop there, and the content of the last part of the document was indeed like a second boot.
While confirming their suspicions, it also confirmed Calvin's identity in a sense.
"Therefore, in order to adapt to increasingly frequent external challenges and adapt to changes in the internal situation, it is considered that the Forbidden Forces are ready to perform their functions again.
Authorized personally by the great Lord of the Human Empire, the Holy Emperor!
From now on!
The defense scope of the Guards Corps will no longer be limited to the palace area!
At the same time, in order to eliminate the many evils within the empire and clean up all foreign enemies lurking in the empire.
From now on!
The Imperial Inquisition will officially have a standing Astartes establishment!
The above two units will establish a permanent joint combat mechanism to exercise discretionary power against all possible threats within and outside the empire!
This department is kept secret from the outside world and is officially named internally - Eye of the Empire!"
