Warhammer 40k: Collector of Terra

Chapter 47 The bloody purge of the Inquisition

Not everyone is qualified to face the majesty of an emperor's son!Only under the influence of sedatives could the Herald negotiate with the Primarch without fear.

Naturally, the small movements of the [Biological Great Sage] cannot be hidden from the gaze of the original body.

At the negotiation table, the first party to show cowardice is doomed to fail.

"Thirty percent." The original body's knuckles covered with golden gauntlets tapped lightly on the table, "This is the final bottom line!"

The rhythmic knocking sound echoed in the empty audience hall, and combined with the original body's half-smiling eyes, it invisibly added a suffocating pressure.

After a long silence, the Mechanicus envoy finally sighed helplessly.

"The Mechanicus will obey your will!" The messenger bowed slightly towards the original body, "Simple and crude, but effective negotiation method! You are very talented in politics."

"Thank you for your compliment." The original body smiled gently.

There is no doubt that the great Primarch achieved victory at the negotiating table.

The additional [-]% of the Mechanicum's armaments will help the empire achieve greater victory in the next half-millennium of war! ! !

One day, the Empire will regain its glory during the [Great Crusade]!And the aliens who are full of malice towards humans will eventually recall the fear of being dominated by the Empire.

……

The trouble from [Mechanicum] has been properly dealt with, and the [Inquisition], which was involved in this conspiracy, has also launched a bloody purge within it.

[Every judge begins as a conservative who yearns for purity and justice; but at the end of every judge, he is an unscrupulous heretic and a blasphemous lunatic! 】

The manual carried by every judge is engraved with such a motto filled with despair.

Just like what this proverb says, most judges in high positions are enough to be called "heretics"!
Mortal power is limited after all!
In order to fulfill the great mission entrusted to them by the God-Emperor, the Inquisitors did not hesitate to team up with aliens, and even borrowed the dirty power from Chaos...

But even though their hands were stained with filth and blood, the Inquisitors' loyalty to the Golden Throne never wavered.

These madmen, who are feared by the people of the empire, actually desire to restore the glory of the empire more than anyone else.

The Inquisitors had been watching for thousands of years in darkness and madness, and finally welcomed the return of a son of the Emperor.

The existence of the original body is no less than a bright light in the long night to the Inquisitors!
The [Human Purity Sect]'s attempt to assassinate the Emperor's son has completely touched the bottom line of the entire [Inquisition].

In just half an hour, seventeen inquisitors were charged with "heresy"!They were directly sentenced to [Excommunication] level punishment without even going through an internal trial within the Tribunal.

It is undeniable that among these seventeen judges there are indeed innocent people who were not involved in this conspiracy.

But the word "innocent" is the biggest joke among these crazy stars.

As for the last remaining [State Religion]...

This sect, with its faith spread throughout the galaxy, is the most difficult problem facing the Primarch.

Even Pope Decius, who has been living on the [Throne World], has been quietly corrupted by Chaos!It is hard to imagine how many followers of Chaos are hidden in the huge state religion sect.

After careful consideration, the Primarch decided to leave the big problem of the [State Religion] to the still-awakening Celestine.

As the emperor's living saint, Celestine himself has an extremely close connection with the state religion!In front of the living saint of the emperor, even the [Pope of the State Religion] must bow his head to pay homage.Celestine's identity is destined to her high status within the state religion!

Having a living saint handle many matters of the [State Religion] will surely minimize the impact of this incident.

……

The disturbance caused by the assassination of the [High Lord] gradually subsided, and the matter of the original body being crowned as the [Imperial Regent] was also put on the agenda.

The final coronation day is set for this year’s [Emperor’s Ascension Festival]!
But before his coronation, [Marshal of the Imperial Guard] Trajan had handed over various government affairs of the empire to the original body.

The title [Imperial Regent] means endless power, but at the same time, it also means that the responsibilities of the entire empire will be placed on one person.

No one is born a politician!There was a vast amount of knowledge that a Primarch had to learn in order to become a competent Imperial Regent.

Tens of thousands of documents are sent to the Primarch's offices every day!Most of those who are eligible to be presented to Terra are related to the life and death of an entire empire world or even a star region.

The mobilization of the Astra Militarum, the establishment of the Astartes Chapter, the emergence of rebels in a certain sector, and even the corruption from Chaos aliens...

The Primarch must read every document carefully and then grant the necessary assistance to the Imperial world within reason.

This is an extremely mentally draining job.

The territory of the empire is so vast!Despite the Primarch's best efforts, many Imperial worlds were still occupied or destroyed by the aliens because they could not receive timely assistance.

"Life" is just a series of cold numbers in front of the Imperial Regent. Countless death and destruction have made the original body feel deeply numb.

Even though the superhuman body of the original body does not feel the slightest fatigue, the sleepiness coming from the depths of the soul is unavoidable no matter what.

……

Located in the Primarch's office in the Palace of Terra.

Thousands of approved urgent documents are neatly stacked in front of the desk. These are the last batch of documents that need to be processed by the original body today.

The tired imperial regent put the quill in his hand back to its original position, then leaned on the soft seat and began to enjoy the short rest.

In just one month of Terra, the number of documents approved by the Primarch has exceeded the total amount of the High Lords Council in half a year.

Tens of thousands of Imperial worlds sent messages to Terra asking for help.

However, due to objective factors such as geographical location and troop reserves, less than half of the empire's worlds can receive support.

The helplessness and despair transmitted from the astrological communication deeply hurt the heart of the original body!But the Primarch, who carried the hope of the Empire, could do nothing about it.

The original body, leaning on the seat, suddenly admired Robert Guilliman, the previous [Imperial Regent].

When Guilliman served as the Regent of the Empire, the [Horus Heresy] that swept the entire galaxy had just been put down!

The wealth accumulated by the Empire during the Great Crusade has long been exhausted, and more than [-]% of the Empire's world was reduced to ruins in the rebellion.
