Chapter 425 - By the Emperor&Chapter x27;s order! Purify this place! Escape!

Lion agreed with Guilliman's proposal. Now that the enemy was at hand, the Empire must not be allowed to have civil unrest.

As long as the Universal Corporation did not take action against the Empire, they must not take the initiative to provoke trouble.

"I hope that the crazy people of the Mechanicus can calm down and not do anything stupid that would hurt the Empire."

Lion sighed.

The relationship between the Mechanicus and the Human Empire is actually more like a partner. In many cases, even the Emperor cannot control them too deeply.

Since the envoys of the Universal Corporation visited Holy Terra, the Mechanicus quickly split into two factions.

One side is the Advent Faction, which believes that the Universal Corporation is the savior of God who came to save mankind and is an angel who came to teach them scientific knowledge.

All humans should immediately submit to the Universal Corporation and throw themselves into the arms of God.

But the other side believes that the Universal Corporation is a freeloader who came from nowhere and only wants their STC modules and the relics of the Golden Age.

Such thieves should be expelled!

But no matter which faction they belong to, the extreme Mechanicus may do something stupid and drag the human empire into the water.

"I have sent a report to the Emperor, and now I have arranged for people to enter Prospero to investigate the situation. I believe the results will come out soon!"

Under the mask of Mortarion, an excited twisted smile emerged.

Of course, he couldn't really want to find out the truth. As long as he found a soldier with flesh and blood mutation in the Thousand Sons Legion, Mortarion would immediately determine that this legion was hopeless.

It must be purified immediately!

As for whether innocent people will be killed unjustly, it has nothing to do with him. He is following the order of the Emperor. Even if there is a reckoning, the initiator should be the Emperor or Prime Minister Malcador.

Mortarion came to Prospero to do only one thing, that is to purify the damned imperial heresy!

"Well, I will also arrange people to prepare for orbital bombing." Ryan nodded in agreement.

Logically, Lion should have sent his own investigation team to Prospero to thoroughly investigate the mutation of the Thousand Sons Legion.

But he didn't intend to do so. Lion just wanted to skip the investigation and start the purification process for the soldiers under him, and put an end to it.

Among the many gene primarchs, Magnus's temper was not pleasing, and his arrogance was even greater than that of Horus.

With a psychic talent second only to the Emperor and a large number of imperial books and knowledge, Magnus considered himself to be the wisest and smartest of all the primarchs.

Therefore, he also had contempt and disdain for other primarchs.

What angered the primarchs the most was that Magnus had offended other primarchs many times during the Great Crusade because of his acquisition of knowledge of aliens and foreign civilizations, and offended a large number of primarch brothers.

For example, in order to protect the alien library and knowledge base, he did not hesitate to order the Asterta warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion to fight with his own brothers' troops.

Or deliberately missed the opportunity to fight, delay time, and cause other Primarchs to fall into a bitter battle.

If the Emperor had not stopped him and deliberately protected Magnus, Horus would have found an opportunity to kill this little beast with a knife.

You know, the purpose of the Empire's Great Crusade is to restore human civilization and eliminate all aliens, including their traces of civilization and knowledge.

It can be said that the Empire is an extreme xenophobia.

But Magnus's actions are incompatible with the ideas of other gene Primarchs, which also led to his extremely bad reputation among the Primarchs.

Lion, Russ, and Mortarion have no good feelings for Magnus. Except for Guilliman, who has a kind temperament and a benevolent monarch, other Primarchs just want to kill him as soon as possible.

"I will also send an investigation team to carefully explore the situation. It will not be too late to issue the Emperor's will to them at that time."

Guilliman did not hold out hope for saving the Thousand Sons Legion, but just wanted these innocent soldiers not to be ignorant and confused before they died.

……

……

At this moment, on the ground of Prospero.

"Unyielding Truth, Longfang, Glory of Macragge, Blood of Steel——!"

The warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion have recognized the flagships of the four Primarchs, and they immediately realized that something must have happened here.

Combined with the orders issued by the Emperor and the blockade of the Universal Corporation, they were ordered to stay where they were. The senior generals of the Thousand Sons Legion have realized that what will happen next may be unfavorable to them!

But they don't understand what they did wrong to cause the Emperor to send four Primarchs to Prospero collectively.

In an instant, the shadow of death shrouded the hearts of every Asterta warrior of the Thousand Sons Legion.

Originally, they thought there might be some misunderstanding, but the arrival of the four Primarchs has confirmed that a bloody storm is coming.

"What on earth do they want to do!"

Magistas Amon frowned and looked at the Imperial fleet in low-Earth orbit with a sharp gaze.

As Magnus's mentor, taking care of his daily affairs and managing the legion's attendants, Amon has a very high status in Prospero and can be regarded as the second in command.

When Magnus is away, he has the right to take over everything here.

"Amon, Guilliman and Mortarion have sent an investigation team to patrol the Thousand Sons Legion. In addition, they have sent you a letter and asked you to check it yourself!"

At this time, Azek Ahriman hurried in. Looking at the imperial investigators outside, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Is it related to the flesh and blood mutation that broke out last time...

But they were all cured!

In order to cure them, the protozoa Magnus even paid one eye at the cost.

Amon looked at the content of the letter that appeared on the holographic screen. The moment the words in the letter surfaced, the nameless evil fire in his heart was immediately ignited.

"Silly Magnus, are you going to completely ruin the warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion!"

After learning about Magnus' actions and the emperor's decision, Amon almost fainted.

He once thought Magnus was just a bit arrogant, but he still knew the right and wrong in his heart. But now it seems that Magnus's actions are completely a fool who never repents.

Hearing Amon's angrily scolded, the soldiers of the Thousand Sons' Legion below were frightened and were surprised that Amon actually cursed his primordial body.

Again angry at Amon's offense.

But the soldiers knew nothing about the situation and could only stare at Amon with a covetous look, hoping that he would read out the contents of the letter.

"Magnus colluded with the evil god of the subspace to pollute Prospero, and also implicated your body in the flesh and blood mutation. Now he is lost in the subspace."

"The Thousand Sons Legion is terminally ill, and the Emperor personally ordered to clear everything here!"

The moment he read out the contents of the letter, Amon felt as if he was completely ashamed. He could not believe that Magnus would have committed such a crime.

Now the four major primordials have led their respective troops and the extinction order issued by the emperor, preparing to completely purify Prospero.

After the investigation team outside confirmed that the flesh and blood mutation was true, the orbital bombing of the empire will arrive as scheduled!

All the soldiers of the Thousand Son Legion must be disarmed immediately and wait for the purified and judged by the Imperial Fleet. Any rebel will be regarded as betraying the Empire and confiscating all honors.

Life and military achievements are all gone.

The content on this letter is not long, but there are all kinds of extinction orders issued by the emperor and the seals stamped by Prime Minister Makado.

Obviously, this is a judgment issued after a series of procedures.

When the soldiers of the Thousand Son Legion read the contents of the letter with their own eyes, they were collectively stunned.

Flesh and blood mutation, extinction order, purify Prospe? This is no joke!

"How is this possible? Where did Prospero come from subspace pollution? Someone must be deliberately accusing and traumatizing us!"

Anku Hernan roared in anger, and as the guardian of the Great Library of the Thousand Sons, he knew very well what was happening on this planet.

If a large-scale flesh-and-blood mutation really occurred, how could he not know?

“It’s simply nonsense.”

"We have been cured long ago. Where did the mutation come from? It must be the addict Motarian, who was confused by the poisonous fog, had made some slander in front of the emperor!"

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

"It's so ridiculous!"

“…”

Anku Hernan's roar also aroused the echoes of other Asteta warriors, and everyone complained dissatisfiedly.

They spent all their effort to collect knowledge about psychic powers for the Empire, and even did not hesitate to be hostile to each other in other Primarch Legions.

What crime does this mean? !

Where did Prospero come from subspace pollution? They live here every day. Do they still know whether there is any pollution?

Someone must be interfering with it.

At this moment, the senior generals of the Thousand Son Legion were angry.

Magnus disappeared, and the top leaders of the empire not only did not find a way to rescue their primordials, but instead issued an extinction order to Prospero.

Why do you want them to kill each other? Has the Thousand Sons Legion contributed little to the empire's psionic knowledge?

Even if there is no credit, there will be hard work. Without hard work, there should be fatigue.

"Mr. Amon, we all listen to you!"

"Yes, we must not agree to them for such a ridiculous reason!"

"They can't be allowed to wrongly accuse loyal and kind."

The restless generals of the Thousand Son Legion and the senior leaders of various departments surrounded Maggistus Amon, constantly persuading him to find ways to stop the Legion outside.

Amon took a deep breath and his eyes were dull: "We are warriors of the empire, so we should naturally obey the emperor's orders."

As soon as these words were said, the high-pitched emotions of the soldiers of the Thousand Sons were immediately extinguished. They recalled that before they became the Astta warrior, they had sworn to the emperor and had served their loyalty.

If the king wants his minister to die, his minister must die.

"No, there must be some misunderstandings. The emperor must have been blinded by the treacherous villain, so he made a wrong judgment."

At this moment, Anku Enan stood up and scolded, "If we surrender and happen to be fooled by the other party, the emperor who knows the truth will regret it!"

Of course, Enan had an absolute loyalty to the emperor, but even if he died for the emperor, he would never die so wronged. He would not accept such a way of death.

As for other young Thousand Sons soldiers, their loyalty to the emperor was actually not as loyal to their own original body.

After so many years of battle, the veterans of the Thousand Sons Legion, who were loyal to the Emperor, had already withered, and the remaining soldiers had not even seen the Emperor's face several times.

To be loyal to a person whose impression is so vague that it is just a political symbol, they cannot do it and do not want to do it!

Situations like this not only happened in the Thousand Sons, but also in Horus's Luna Wolves.

Amon looked at the letter on the holographic screen and the Emperor's exclusive seal. He gritted his teeth desperately, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision, and then said word by word:

"All Thousand Sons soldiers are ready to fight. We must not let Prospero be easily destroyed. We must defend this place for the Primarch."

"In addition, send a communication message to Terra to confirm whether the extermination order is true. We must get the Emperor's personal recognition!"

In fact, Amon had already acquiesced in his heart that the Emperor had really given up the Thousand Sons, but he was really unwilling and wanted to struggle again.

And the other young Primarchs did not want to die like this, so they supported Amon and decided to fight to the end with the Primarch troops outside.

"Amon, this is an order from the Emperor himself. You are betraying the Emperor by doing this."

Azek Ahriman suddenly spoke, and the Thousand Sons Legion soldiers around him looked at him with astonishment. They didn't want to sacrifice their lives because of an inexplicable letter.

"Azek, I didn't betray the Emperor."

Amon was not surprised to see that the person who spoke was Azek.

After all, he was a standard Terran officer who had been led by the Emperor to the foot of the Himalayas to receive gene seed transformation.

Azek's loyalty to the Emperor was unquestionable.

"The Emperor was blinded by the villain and issued the wrong order. I just want to confirm the credibility of this matter again."

Amon's rebuttal was well-founded, and most of the young soldiers on the scene also stood on his side.

"How credible is this letter? You know it." Azek stared at the other party expressionlessly. As the second in command of Prospero, Amon had come into contact with many laws and official documents.

How could he not know how meticulous the procedures of the extermination order were.

"The Emperor never makes mistakes, and it is even more impossible for any villain to blind his eyes. Since he issued this order, he must have his reasons."

"Now, we should obey the Emperor's orders, disarm all members, and wait for the final judgment of the four Primarchs!" Azek shouted at everyone.

Seeing that he could not convince the other party, Amon could only wave his hand and let the Thousand Sons soldiers beside him temporarily detain Azek.

And Azek seemed to have expected it, and calmly accepted Amon's compulsory confinement. He knew that he could not do it alone and could not save this tragic imperial infighting.

Without Azek's dissuasion, the remaining Thousand Sons Corps leaders worked together and cast eager eyes on Amon.

"Don't worry, we are not without a glimmer of hope!"

Amon had previously communicated with Jack Wells and knew that the fleet of the Universal Corporation would not directly intervene in the attack on the Thousand Sons Corps.

So their opponents are actually only the Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Dark Angels, and Death Guard.

They can’t win by fighting, so the only way out is to escape!

The Thousand Sons are the best at using psychic power in the Imperial Army, and they have many ways to tangle and pull with those Primarch Legions.

As long as they can escape, the flame of the Thousand Sons will not be completely extinguished!
