Chapter 371 Savior: Contact all the imperial guards and ask them to come here!
The words of the Thunder Guard Shield Guard made the atmosphere on the scene tense.

Captain Malaquet was on a rollercoaster of emotions, the Primarch's promise of aid lifting the grief-stricken warrior's spirits.

His eyes were full of gratitude as he looked towards the shield guard.

However, what the shield warrior said made him feel nervous again.

In the captain's opinion, the Imperial Guards are sacred and inviolable, and no one has ever dared to treat the emperor's guards like this.

This might lead to a conflict, and he began to worry about the Savior warriors.

Malakate took a few steps closer to the shield guard, and then just stayed there like a wooden man.

Dare not say anything, dare not ask anything.

They had no business intervening in this conflict between the Primarch and the Custodes.

There was a hint of disbelief in the eyes of the Imperial Guard Tilis, but more of anger. She had never been treated like this before.

What made her even more angry was.

That means these people ignored the Emperor's voice and disobeyed His will? !

What blasphemy and disloyalty this is.

The guard stared at the shield guard with cold eyes:

"You should respect the Emperor's mouthpiece and remain loyal to the Emperor. You should immediately retract your disobedient words and accept the punishment.

You must obey the Emperor's will!"

If these were not the Primarch of Hope's personal guards, she would have already cleaned out these disloyal people.

As for the Primarch of Hope who issued this order.

The commanders of the Custodes in this area would seek him out, questioning his loyalty and whether he still had respect for the Emperor.

Let that existence give an explanation!
The shield guard remained silent, and after a pause he spoke: "Imperial Guard, if you still remain loyal to the Emperor, please cooperate with the will of the Savior.

Also, apart from the Lord Savior, no one else has the right to order us around."

Saying these words to a member of the imperial guards is indeed a bit disrespectful.

But in the minds of the Thunder Guards.

They are the most loyal to the Golden Sun and the Savior, and they are absolutely obedient to the Savior.

Under the command of the Savior, they dare to draw their swords against any existence!
In fact, the Thunder Guards exist to compete with the Imperial Guards. If they succumb to the pressure of the Imperial Guards, there will be no need for them to exist.

"You are rebels who go against the Emperor's will...!"

Such disloyal remarks made Tilis furious. This was blatant heresy and treason. She suddenly ignited the force field of the battle blade and slashed at the shield guard.

when!
The shield guard raised his shield to block the attack. The huge impact forced him to slide back for a distance, and deep dents appeared on the finely crafted shield.

Afterwards, he drew his power sword and engaged the Custodes.

However, the advantages of the Imperial Guards' physical genetic strength and equipment made him unable to resist.

Seeing this, the Thunder Guards used the gang-beating tactics that the Savior Territory was good at, and two more warriors joined the fight.

This made it difficult for the imperial guard to resist.

Another moment passed.

The joining of the last two Thunder Guards turned the battle into a siege of the Imperial Guards.

Such disloyal and rebellious behavior stunned everyone present.

A sacred guard is being beaten. Is this okay to fight? Is this something they can watch?
More people chose to close their eyes, not daring to watch such a blasphemous scene.

"Emperor, what on earth did I see!"

Malaquet exclaimed, hoping that the Primarch's personal guards would beat up a royal guard. What an amazing scene!
The defeat of the imperial guard who forced the White Templar to issue an extermination order made the captain and his soldiers excited.

If it wasn't inappropriate, they would all want to applaud.

The Silent Sister also signed frantically, expressing her amazement.

But no one dared to join this battle.

Primarch Hope also had considerable reputation in the Empire, as he helped the return of the Ultimate Primarch and played a crucial role in the Battle of the Moon.

Defended Holy Terra.

Not to mention that this being also recaptured the Chaladon region and personally killed a demon demigod, causing fear among the demons.

The Sisters of Silence knew better.

This Primarch of Hope not only had a good relationship with the Regent, but also maintained a good relationship with the Pope of the Ecclesiarchy.

The Forge World of the Ers Mechanicum under the command of that being has become the most important holy place within the Mechanicum, and its sacredness is no less than that of Mars.

In fact, although the other major forces in the empire did not pay much attention to the savior on the surface, they were all paying attention in secret.

I was terrified by his growing power.

Those supreme lords who were frightened by the Martian birthday celebration secretly instructed their trusted subordinates to try not to provoke that existence unless necessary.

Don't try to stage another Holy Terra birthday celebration. They might not be able to handle it.

Even if they united and were able to resist the Savior, another "Horus Heresy" would be even more terrible than that war.

It will cause the galaxy to burn completely and completely destroy the future of the empire.

In short, just pretend he doesn't exist.

Anyway, that person is also active in the dark, which is a good thing for the empire.

For people from other forces, on one side is the Primarch of Hope and the Savior, and on the other side is the Emperor's Guards, both sides are not to be provoked.

Their best way to deal with it is to watch the fight.

bang——

Tilis was hit hard and fell against the tree. The huge tree collapsed under the pressure, raising a thick cloud of dust.

cough cough.

The imperial guard was covered in dirt and stains, looking in a miserable state, and even his sword had fallen out of his hand.

She took off the deformed helmet and threw it aside, her face full of anger: "You disloyal people, why don't you dare to duel with me in an upright manner?"

The Thunder Guards ignored these words and surrounded them in silence.

According to the Savior's words, if you can gang up on the enemy, why would you foolishly engage in a duel and give the enemy a chance to defeat you?
Seeing that the Thunder Guards' power weapons blocked all his escape routes, Tilis felt a little desperate.

She had no chance of winning.

"For the Emperor!"

The imperial guard roared and tried to fight to the last, even if his soul returned to the throne, he would never surrender to the rebels!
But the last moment.

The Thunder Guards seemed to have received some instructions and put away their power weapons.

The shield guard didn't block at all and took Tilis's punch head-on. He took a few steps back and was caught by his companion.

His face was filled with shame:

"Sir Tilis, perhaps the conflict between us is over. The savior will come here. If you have any questions, you can go to him."

Just now, the Savior ordered them to end the battle, and was somewhat dissatisfied with their fighting ability.

"Hey, it's a bit embarrassing for five of you to beat up one person!"

These are the words of the Savior.

Of course, they were already used to their Lord Savior's somewhat flexible principles and standards.

These Thunder Guards also understood the hidden meaning of the Lord Savior.

That is, as a counterpart to the Imperial Guards, their combat capabilities are still far behind those of the other side.

That being was just not very satisfied with the current situation, not really blaming them.

After all, this is not their problem. The gap in genetic modification surgery and equipment is difficult to make up for by hard work.

The shield guard's softened attitude and friendly gesture helped Tilis suppress his anger a little.

No way.

We can't defeat them, and the Primarch of Hope has also arrived.

She had to question the Primarch face to face about his true intentions and whether he really wanted to betray the Emperor's will.

Actually.

The Guardsman also thought of another question. If the Primarch of Hope really solved the Leviathan, would it still be necessary to continue to enforce the Extermination Order?
Life is the Emperor's currency, sacrifice is the bedrock of the Imperium.

But it does not mean making too many unnecessary sacrifices, which would be a huge loss for the empire.

When Tilis and the Thunder Guards walked out of the devastated battlefield, a psychic transmission beacon was already flashing on the ground not far away.

boom!
A huge, dazzling golden beam of light rose from the ground and sank into the void.

Along with the beam of light, a transmission channel appeared.

A tall golden figure stepped out of the passage. This being wore a golden laurel crown on his head, with holy light emanating from behind him, and had a pair of golden wings.

He was surrounded by many purely man-made holy angels, playing musical instruments and singing hymns.

At the same time, more beams of light appeared.

The Thunder Guards walked out from the passage behind the golden beam. In addition to ordinary Thunder Guards, there were also Thunder Guard Terminators, Fearless, Centurions, and so on.

It put more pressure on everyone.

The savior has arrived, like a god descending to earth!
"The Emperor..."

For a moment, Tilis thought he had seen the Emperor and almost knelt down.

It’s so similar!

But she reacted quickly and still stood straight.

Even though this Primarch of Hope, the Emperor's own son, had a hint of the Emperor's demeanor, he could never be compared with the great Emperor.

What's more, he was disrespectful to the Emperor's will!

Facing the coming of the savior, everyone responded. "Hope, Master Primarch."

Captain Malakate led the soldiers to kneel on one knee to express their respect. The Savior saved Istrad and preserved the White Temple's perseverance and glory for three thousand years.

This being deserves this respect.

The other personnel were also overwhelmed by this majesty and knelt on the ground to pay tribute to the Primarch of Hope.

Only the imperial guard Tilis was standing there, with a look of scrutiny and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

After Ron set foot here, he first looked at the five Thunder Guards who had fought with the Imperial Guards, and was quite moved.

The strength of the Thunder Guards is still far behind that of the Imperial Guards.

One-on-one duel.

Except for a very few special and powerful beings among the Thunder Guards, the rest are no match for the Imperial Guards.

It takes about two Thunder Guards working together to deal with one Imperial Guard.

Over the years, the Gene Enhancement Research Institute of the Savior Territory has been improving the genetic modification surgery of the Thunder Guards, seeking further enhancement.

But the results were few.

He even went to the Divine Emperor to ask for the genetic modification surgery technology of the Imperial Guards.

This is not an easy task.

The old man's mental state is sometimes good and sometimes bad. He is in autistic state most of the time and doesn't like to talk to people.

But after obtaining the technology, the Gene Enhancement Research Institute discovered that the requirements, costs, and casualties of the Imperial Guard transformation surgery were alarmingly high, and not very cost-effective.

Without the restrictions of the holy code and the investment of the entire empire's resources, it took the Imperial Guard 10,000 years to restore its number to 10,000.

He couldn't wait that long.

Moreover, the transformation surgery of the Imperial Guards is not very compatible with the Thunder Guards.

The Thunder Guard's transformation technology is more like a blood-burning enhanced version of the Space Marine transformation surgery, but with a shorter lifespan.

Fortunately, the blessing temporarily made up for this shortcoming.

Finally, the biological sages of the Gene Enhancement Research Institute came to a conclusion.

Judging from the current situation, if they want to further improve the Thunder Guard, they may need to use the Space Marine Primaris technology for research.

Not long ago, Ron contacted the great sage Caul on the mechanical forum, hoping to obtain the technology, but was rejected.

Because the technology was researched by the Great Sage on the behalf of the Regent, he could not decide who would own it.

Now, we can only hope that Regent Guilliman will be willing to provide this technology.

Ron originally wanted to wait for Brother Guilliman to arrive in Baal before discussing this extremely important matter face to face, but that being was still on the way.

I don’t know when it will arrive.

"I hope Brother Guilliman can pop the champagne in time..."

he thought so.

Currently, Baal has planned to build a huge memorial plaza on Baal to commemorate this unprecedented great victory.

The square will stretch for thousands of kilometers, allowing anyone from space to see the statues of the Savior and the heroes who participated in the war.

Ron originally wanted to refuse.

But in the end he respected the customs of the empire. Moreover, he could not refuse to build a memorial square and prevent other warriors from obtaining this honor.

Because those statues include many fallen heroes.

And all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and whose names can be found will also receive honor.

Their names will be engraved on the stone tablet next to the statue in the square and will be commemorated forever.

Now, he just hoped that the Regent could make it to the commemoration celebrations.

Ron's thoughts flashed through his mind in a second, and he turned to look at the female guard named Tilis: "Guard, you seem to have a different opinion on my will?"

The questioning look from the Primarch of Hope caused Tilis's momentum to stagnate slightly, and he even took a step back.

In fact, after getting beaten up and witnessing the savior’s appearance with full special effects, the imperial guard’s momentum was not as strong as before.

"Your Excellency Primarch Hope, you are disrespecting the Emperor's mouthpiece and the Emperor's will!"

Tilis hesitated, then insisted on conveying his own opinion to the Primarch of Hope, which was also the opinion of the Custodians.

"You mean to say that I was wrong and disloyal in protecting the Imperial worlds left by the Emperor.

And you are right and loyal in issuing extermination orders to destroy the Empire's borders and kill the people of the Empire that the Emperor wants to protect?"

Ron asked, still in a gentle manner.

Upon hearing this, Tilis paused. This was a difficult question to answer.

The Savior was supposed to defend against the main force of the Tyranid Leviathan Hive Fleet on the Baal battlefield, but his presence here now proves many things.

Perhaps what he said before was true, the threat of Leviathan has been lifted, and continuing with the extermination order is a wrong choice.

This is an irrefutable fact.

But she and the Imperial Guards have always regarded themselves as the Emperor's mouthpiece, conveying the Emperor's will and commanding all subjects of the Empire to obey.

Even if it is an extremely cruel order.

If Tillis admits that executing the extermination order was a mistake, there are only two outcomes:
Either the Guards made the decision without the Emperor's order, or the Emperor made the wrong order.

But could the great Emperor make mistakes?
Was she to admit that the Emperor had misjudged the situation, issued the wrong orders, and destroyed the Empire's planets and the people He protected in the wrong way?

That's obviously impossible.

The great emperor cannot and will not make mistakes!

Tilis is the latest addition to the imperial guards in the past ten thousand years.

She had no way of knowing whether the Emperor had actually conveyed such a will to the Grand Marshal of the Guards, and she had never truly received the favor of that great being in her lifetime.

The Great Emperor had granted her no visions, dreams or psychic words, no revelations of any kind.

All the orders were given to her by her superiors in the Imperial Guards.

Tilis was extremely envious of those soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were favored by the Emperor and received His will, and he was extremely eager to gain the attention of that great being.

But she could never blaspheme the great Emperor, nor could she accept that the Emperor could make mistakes.

The ones who made the mistake could only be the Imperial Guards.

The emperor did not issue an edict, they were the ones who acted privately using the emperor's words.

But this matter obviously cannot be acknowledged, otherwise the Imperial Guards will lose their legitimacy and can no longer claim to be the mouthpiece of the emperor.

So, Tillis honestly chose to remain silent.

But under the gaze of everyone, she felt like she was being tortured and judged, surrounded by uncontrollable shame.

Ron sighed and continued:
“Just admit it, maybe you can receive the Emperor’s will, and you are sincerely working for the benefit of the Empire.

But after I've dealt with Leviathan, continuing with the extermination order would be a complete mistake!
What's more, I don't think the Emperor has ever issued an order to execute the extermination order. It is you guys who are acting in the name of the Emperor.

This is also a blasphemy, the Emperor is still alive and kicking in the Warp!"

"you!"

When Tilis heard such disrespectful words, he subconsciously wanted to refute them, but he didn't know how to start.

The dignity of the imperial guards was completely lost.

Ron stared at Tillis and gave an order:
"Imperial Guards, send a message immediately to all the Imperial Guards in the protective belt area, and ask them to come here and explain the matter!"

Under the stern gaze of the Primarch of Hope, Tillis hesitated for a moment, but still sent the communication command as he requested.

Perhaps the commanders of the Imperial Guards will be able to better deal with this Primarch and maintain the dignity of the Imperial Guards.

hiss~
After Ron did all this, he felt a little unsure.

Although it is unlikely, if this extermination order was really an order from the emperor through a dream, he would also call the imperial guards to explain.

How embarrassing is that?

It just so happens that the Emperor has been quite active recently.

Based on the principle of seeking truth and being practical, he felt it was necessary to ask.

Even if that was really an order issued by the emperor himself, it must be corrected. I believe the emperor would not be so stubborn.

He has never been in a subordinate relationship with the emperor, but more like a junior, so there are not many taboos in the communication between the two.

What's more, he is currently enjoying the super faith energy stress relief package of the Savior's Territory.

Ron walked towards Tillis:

"Little guy from the Imperial Guard, are you interested in going with me to meet the Emperor and ask about the truth of this matter?"

???

After hearing this, Tilis was stunned and could hardly believe it.

Do you hope that the Primarch will take you to an audience with the great Emperor?

For the Emperor's sake, how is that possible?!
Seeing the Primarch's big hand pressing down on her, she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was already a step too late.

Ron put his hand on Tilis's forehead and instantly activated his psychic power, his eyes bursting with an intense white light.

Accompanied by psychic energy.

He pulled the soul consciousness of the Custodian into the warp.

When Tilis regained consciousness, he felt the familiar energy.

But compared to the energy emanating from the Terra Palace, this power is so surging and sacred, so admirable.

"Emperor!" Tilis's trembling voice revealed endless emotion and admiration.

She...saw the Holy Sun!
