504. The Minotaur in Holy Terra: Shadow of the Regent! (Part 2).

[You slowly shuttled through the cold and dim corridor of the ship.

[You ran into a group of Terminator guards belonging to you. ]

[Moloch, the captain of the Minotaurs, did not like to bring Terminator guards. The reason was that in many cases, the presence of the guards would affect his attack speed. ]

[In terms of combat power alone, you think Moloch of the Minotaurs might be able to compete with Tiberus of the Carcharodon, because both of them are special individuals that far exceed the standards of Astartes. ]

[After thinking for a while, you suddenly raised a palm and waved to the Terminator guards. ]

[The Terminator guards who had obtained the order immediately followed behind you. ]

[This is not your own body. Perhaps your arrival has obtained Moloch's consent, but it is better to take better care of it. ]

[You walked towards the bridge together. ]

[Soon after, you met the captain of the heavy assault carrier Power of Daedalus, a middle-aged man with a serious expression. ]

[You ordered the other party to call up the bird's-eye view map of Holy Terra and the location of the palace, and also ordered the captain to notify the ship's deck to prepare a Thunderhawk transport plane that could carry the entire Chapter Astartes. ]

[The middle-aged captain asked the servitor to call up the bird's-eye view map without any hesitation, and then the other party quickly turned around and contacted the ship's deck. ]

[You stared at the Terra Palace in front of you, which was a miracle of mankind, and took a deep breath. ]

[You suddenly raised a palm covered with ceramic steel, pointed to a large black area outside the palace, and asked.

【"What's going on here? Are these the remains of the battlefield from the Lion's Gate Battle?"】

【"Master, according to the information we received, the combined forces of the Imperial Fists and the Custodes have been secretly carrying out various counterinsurgency operations to eradicate the cult there, but the results are not good, and many civilians in the hives are trapped inside. I think they will soon end their suffering and return to the throne due to lack of food and fresh water."】

【The middle-aged captain who was coordinating the preparations for the mortal crew hesitated for a moment, but he still raised his head and said in your direction. 】

【"Although the Custodes suffered heavy casualties in the Lion's Gate Battle, this is not an excuse for their failures in the face of mortal heretics. As for the Imperial Fists, I will not comment on them. Go and gather the Primaris Astartes who have just been reinforced and the veterans in the chapter. It's time for them to move!"】

【You turned slightly while driving the Terminator armor, looked at a Terminator guard beside you and ordered. 】

【The silent opponent immediately ran out of the bridge without looking back, and the heavy footsteps echoed around. 】

【"Captain, notify the Imperial Fists' Phalanx and Lion's Gate Airport. By the way, bring the Imperial Guard's Tower of Hegemony as well... Just say that the Minotaurs will provide certain combat support to Holy Terra and completely quell the unfinished chaos within Terra." 】

【You issued new orders to the middle-aged captain in a clear and orderly manner. 】

【The opponent first looked up at you in surprise, and then immediately devoted himself to the complicated communication procedures.

【You listened for a while, turned around and led the Terminator Guards out of the bridge. 】

【You quickly went to the flight deck in the middle of the flagship. 】

【As soon as you stepped into the hangar, within your field of vision, nearly a thousand Minotaurs Astartes were neatly arranged on the metal floor like metal statues. ]

[You can tell at a glance which are the Primaris recruits and which are the veterans of the Chapter by the style and degree of wear of the power armor. ]

[After your continuous scanning, you found that the number of Primaris Astartes is almost half of the entire Chapter. Except for the First Company wearing some Hades-type Terminators and Indomitable Terminators that are intact, the number of veterans in the entire Chapter is much less than you expected. ]

["It seems that the Minotaurs did lose a lot of people in the previous battle with the Death Guard..." You frowned and thought to yourself. ]

[At this moment, before you stepped forward to give a speech to the Astartes of the entire Chapter. ]

[The hurried-looking Ivanus Hermit arrived at the hangar deck with two parchment scrolls in his hand, and quickly ran towards you. ]

["Lord Moloch! Calgar of the Ultramarines responded immediately! There is also an order from the High Lords Council of Terra!" The other party described it to you quickly in a nervous voice. ]

[You stopped moving forward and casually took the parchment scroll that the other party handed over respectfully. ]

[You looked down and saw that there was no corresponding code that Calgar had to answer, which meant that the person who replied might not be Calgar. ]

[And in the whole parchment scroll, there was only one simple message that others might not understand, but you could definitely understand. ]

["Twenty-two! Don't act rashly! I have already made arrangements for everything that happened on Holy Terra!" ]

[You stared carefully at the incoherent sentence on the parchment scroll, but couldn't help but reveal a fleeting smile at the corner of your mouth. ]

[It seems that you have met Guilliman himself in the past and have had a detailed discussion. ]

["It's a pity that our real backer may not think so, otherwise, I might not be able to come here, Regent..." You muttered to yourself. ]

【At this moment, the Terminator guards standing behind you seemed to have turned a deaf ear to this. 】

【Instead, Ivanus Hidden smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but sighed. 】

【You took the other parchment handed over by the other party. 】

【After you gradually unfolded it, it showed that it was nominally an official order from the Supreme Council of Terra, but it was actually a private order from a former Minister of the Interior. 】

【"What a bunch of ignorant mortals..." You sneered and read the blasphemous content above. 】

【The other party's words hinted at the next action goal of the Minotaur Chapter and the ultimate goal to be achieved. 】

【These guys want to use various means to make Guilliman give up the Indomitable Crusade, or even return to Terra to report immediately. 】

【If Guilliman's attitude of admitting his mistakes is sincere, the conservatives in the Supreme Council of Terra can retain the title of Regent of the Primarch at their discretion. ]

[With an expressionless face, you slowly tore the second parchment scroll in front of Slender Ivanus. ]

[You turned around and walked to the front of the entire chapter while driving the Terminator Armor. ]

["From now on, the entire Minotaurs are on combat readiness. Without my orders, the veterans in the chapter cannot take any action. But once my orders are issued, you must attack the Terra Palace!" ]

[You took a deep breath and spoke to everyone in a low and restrained voice. ]

["In addition, all Primaris Astartes stand out! From today on, you will only be loyal to two people! One is the Emperor himself! The other is me! Do you hear me clearly?!" ]

["I hear you clearly! Fight for the Emperor! Fight for the Chapter Master!" ]

[As soon as you finished speaking, all the Primaris Astartes burst into a deafening roar without hesitation! 】

【And the veterans of the Minotaurs are like metal statues, standing there waiting for your orders. 】

【Rather than saying they are living Astartes, they give you the feeling of a group of "Intelligent Control Legion" made of flesh and blood. 】

【And this is the Minotaurs, a sharp knife of slaughter that now belongs to you! 】

Thank you for your support!
