Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

Chapter 285 Holy Terra's Reply

After Seth and his companions slowly walked through the dim corridor, they finally arrived at an extremely spacious hall. Oil lamps were burning brightly all around the hall, illuminating the entire hall.

In the center of this immense hall stood a towering golden statue. Its face was unusually solemn and dignified. It was the statue of the great Lord of Mankind—the Emperor.

Throughout the vast empire, every important department, organization, or even individual would enshrine a statue of the Emperor. These statues were not very different from one another, the only difference being their size.

However, no matter how big or small, every statue of the emperor is so sacred and inviolable. After thousands of years of propaganda of the state religion, the emperor's sacred majesty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Ilo, the beautiful head of the Star Language Court, has been standing quietly in front of the Emperor's statue, waiting for Seth and others to arrive. Her eyes are focused and firm, as if expressing her loyalty and respect to the Emperor.

When Yiluo saw Seth and the other four approaching, she immediately bowed respectfully to them and said, "Good day, my lords."

Although Iroh was one of the high-ranking officials in the sector, the Astropaths were relatively weak in terms of power and authority and could not compare with these four, so she chose to salute to show her respect to them.

Seth and the others also returned the greetings and politely responded, "Good day, Ms. Ilo."

After the nobles exchanged pleasantries, Seth turned to Ilo and asked, "Ms. Ilo, I heard that you have received a reply from Holy Terra. What is the content of the message?"

His voice was full of expectation, and his eyes were fixed on Yiluo, as if trying to guess the answer from her expression.

"Ms. Ilo, what does Terra say?" Bishop Ivan asked immediately.

His tone was equally urgent, and his hands were unconsciously clenched together, revealing his inner tension and anxiety.

Ilo looked at the anxious expressions of the four people and a smile appeared on his face.

This smile made the four of them happy, and they all thought that there was good news.

As expected, Iroh spoke up: "My Lords, good news has come from Holy Terra."

Hearing this, the four of them couldn't contain their joy and asked anxiously, "Ms. Yiluo, please speak quickly."

Their eyes were all focused on Yiluo, hoping to learn the details of the good news as soon as possible.

Iroh nodded, then told everyone the information he had received: "The Supreme Lords of Holy Terra have decided to withdraw fifteen Emperor's Angels Chapters, 20 million elite Astra Militarum soldiers, a large naval fleet, and support from some Knight Families from the Nebulous Segmentum."

This news made the four people's eyes light up, and a feeling of joy surged in their hearts.

Seth said happily, "Great! With so much support this time, we can completely wipe out those damn heretics."

"Your Majesty, the great Divine Emperor, has finally answered my prayers." Bishop Ivan bowed his head and prayed, attributing all the credit to his prayers to the Emperor.

"With the reinforcements sent by the Empire, these arrogant heretics won't survive long." Minister of Military Affairs Karl clenched his fists and muttered to himself.

Fifteen Emperor's Angels Chapters, twenty million elite Astra Militarum soldiers, a massive naval fleet, and those powerful Knight Mechas, such a powerful force is enough to completely wipe out that group of heretics.

Iroh looked at the excited expressions of the crowd and continued to tell them the information he had received: "Not only that, under the coordination of the Supreme Lords, the Mechanicus also agreed to participate in this military operation to eliminate heresy.

They will dispatch a Titan Legion and Knight Corps from the Forge World in the Pacific Segmentum to jointly defeat the heretics."

This news filled the four with great joy. The addition of the Adeptus Mechanicus would undoubtedly greatly enhance their strength. The Titan Legion and the Knight Corps were both elite forces within the Adeptus Mechanicus, possessing formidable combat capabilities. With their support, their chances of victory in this war would be even greater.

Yiluo looked at everyone's excited expressions and continued to speak to them with a serious face: "The Supreme Lords have also issued orders."

The four people who were excited suddenly became serious after hearing Yiluo's words. They knew what it meant.

The order from the Supreme Lords themselves must be a matter of great importance. They all turned their eyes to Iroh, waiting for his next words.

"The Supreme Lords of Holy Terra, I have assigned you the responsibility of thoroughly investigating the scale of this group of heretics, their leaders, and the main rebels. If you are unable to obtain sufficient intelligence this time, you will be investigated by the Inquisition."

Iroh's voice echoed in the room with a hint of majesty.

After hearing Iroh's words, the four people's expressions changed drastically. They originally thought it was just an ordinary mission, but they didn't expect the Supreme Lords to take it so seriously.

If they fail to thoroughly investigate the information about this group of heretics, they will not only lose their honor, but may also face investigation by the Inquisition.

Everyone is well aware of the cruelty of the Inquisition's investigation, especially Kuro, the head of the sector's Inquisition, who is well aware of the harshness of the Inquisition.

The Inquisition was known for its strict standards and ruthless methods, and few of those investigated by the Inquisition ever walked out of its doors alive. This news added to their stress.

The four of them were silent for a moment. They understood the importance of this mission. It not only concerned their own fate, but also the safety of the entire star region.

They must give their all and not let down the trust of the Supreme Lords.

"I will do my best to send out all the trainee inquisitors and intelligence personnel in the star zone and make sure to collect some intelligence." Kuro responded with a serious expression.

"I will also send out intelligence personnel from the army, hoping to collect more information." Minister of Military Affairs Karl echoed.

Since the expeditionary fleet to fight against heretics was destroyed, the Inquisition and the Ministry of Military Affairs have dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel in the hope of collecting detailed intelligence on the group of heretics in the Star Sea galaxy.

As a result, after so many years, none of the intelligence personnel sent out have returned alive. But now facing the pressure from the Supreme Lords, these officials are ready to send out all the last intelligence personnel.

"Thank you all, sirs." Yiluo bowed respectfully to the four people.

"We will definitely complete the mission!" The four answered in unison, their eyes firm and full of determination.
