Chapter 321 The Rise of the Primarch: The End of the High Lords' Meeting
The high lords looked at the tall giant in front of him. He was standing in front of the lords wearing a golden power armor. The golden giant stared at them as if his eyes were shining under the light of the halo. Behind him stood dozens of people. The Golden Armored Guards, the guards who were closer to demigods than Astartes, stood behind him, silently declaring the authority of the person in front of him.

Vito looked at the high lords in front of him one by one. He was like a temporary god king surrounded by the stars and the moon. The high lords looked at the giant in front of him in horror. The majesty of the supreme power owner of the empire was almost instantly swallowed up by the man in front of him. He was like a vortex, sucking all authority into it.

"Kneel down, standing in front of you is the Supreme Marshal of the Empire, Lord Vito Constantine, you must kneel to him." Trajan, dressed in the fur of a white lion, took a step forward from Vito's side. The sound of thunder announced, and the sound of majesty penetrated into the hearts of these people like a cannonball, and all the high lords knelt down.

The leader of the Council of High Lords, Minister Humphrey of the Ministry of State, knelt down in front of Vito. He knelt down almost instinctively. He used to be the supreme existence under one person and above ten thousand people, and it was always given to him by others. Kneeled down and saluted, but now, the man above it descended, appearing before them with unquestionable majesty.

The high lords in the entire council knelt in front of Vito. They knelt behind Minister Humphrey. The almost completely mechanized minister raised half of his face and looked at the legendary Supreme Marshal in front of him.

"In the name of the Emperor, we sincerely welcome your return, my lord, the Council of High Lords of Terra will be at your service, but there are rebels attacking the Council outside, I suggest for your safety."

"No, you don't need to worry about my safety, Lord Humphrey, because I'm the leader of the rebels you call me." Vito said in a low voice like a thunderous thunder flashing in the dark clouds on a rainy night, Han said. Frye looked at Vito in front of him with huge eyes, and he and the lords behind him were quite shocked.

"But my lord, in the name of the Emperor, why do you." "How dare you use the name of the Emperor? Lord Humphrey, why do you have the face to continue to speak the name of the Emperor? Don't your existence let him be fooled? Are you ashamed?"

Vito stood before the lords, he looked down upon the lords kneeling on the ground, Humphrey looked up at Vito's face in the light, he stared at him like the Emperor himself, those shimmering eyes As if it could penetrate their souls.

"I don't understand what you're saying, my lord, we have always served His Majesty the Emperor, and we rule the Empire in his name, defending his truth and"

"You know what I'm talking about, Lord Humphrey, you're either too old to forget what you've done, or you're trying to deceive me." Vito whispered, but the voice made the high collar more than any admonition. The Lords were terrified, and Humphrey watched as Vito's eyes were as big as electric lights.

"My lord, everything we do is for the Emperor! It's for the Golden Throne!"

"You are just for your own desire for power, look at yourself, look at you, look at your own body, for thousands of years, have you used life-extending technology and expensive equipment to prolong your exhausted life? Just to let How many useless resources have you consumed, and how many of the emperor's outstanding subjects have died here?"

"Our lives belong to the Emperor! Me! I am his Chosen! I must live to be redeemed! I am the voice of the Emperor, what I say is what the Emperor says, and he keeps me alive! He is told me so!"

The mad Pope suddenly howled. He stood up and shook his red sleeves, but Vito just gave him a cold look, "Quiet."

Vito's words seemed to blast directly into the Pope's mind, and the aging Pope stepped back again and again, waving his robes wildly and shouting frantically, "I am his sect leader! I am his elect, I am Everything we do is the Emperor's will, His Majesty's will!"

"You have gone mad, Pope, what you have heard and shouted is crazy nonsense, you and your church were never established by the Emperor, and your very existence is the greatest slander against the Emperor, The greatest slander of imperial truth."

"Lie! I am his Pope! My sect was created by the Emperor! He gave me power! You are heretics! You are heretics in disguise, and you are heretics!"

The utterly insane Pope pointed at Vito and shouted, his dry fingers waving at Trajan and Angvar, "You are heretics! Guards! You have betrayed the Emperor! Traitor! Traitor!"

"Shut up! In the Emperor's name, you perfidious person, keep quiet when the marshal speaks! Otherwise I will personally carry out the majesty bestowed by the Emperor!" On the ground, the dull rumbling sound seemed to frighten the aging old man, and the Pope fell to the ground, clutching his chest, screaming indiscriminately.

He continued to speak madly, the surrounding high lords looked at him, and Vito also looked at the crazy old man and sighed helplessly, "The Emperor's Chosen? And the people who have abandoned the whole of Terra, those human people whom the Emperor and I swore thousands of years ago to find a future for them, his people, what qualifications do you have to continue to rule in his name?"

"We are doing this to protect Terra! Your lord, everything we do is for the Emperor!" Lord Marshal Desmond shouted, pressing his chest against his head, but Vito glared at him. For a moment, that look made Desmond shut his mouth with just a glare.

"You! Desmond! As the supreme leader of the Imperial Army I established, your stupidity and arrogance have made me intolerable! Seriously, being the Lord Marshal of the Astral Army is the greatest humiliation to me! Defending Terra? Anyone who has had the slightest military education knows that if you abandon the part of Terra outside the palace, it means abandoning all orbital and planetary defenses! You hide in the palace just to hold the emperor Self-respect, just prolong the death that is destined to come as long as possible, so that your ridiculous life can last for just a moment!"

"But my lord! That's what you did back then! During the Horus Heresy, you and Lord Dorn gave up most of Terra, and won the final victory by sticking to the palace. The leader of the traitor was beheaded, and Terra got it. save!"

"Then tell me who sacrificed himself to save Terra?! We were helpless at the time, do you think the Void Shield of the Palace was invincible?! If it wasn't for Horus's plan to become emperor in Tai**ji, instead of Plan to destroy Terra, and the entire Throne World will be blown to atomic state by his fleet in a few days!"

Vito shouted sharply, and as he roared, angry lightning flashed around him, "If the Emperor hadn't finally killed Horus at the expense of himself, we would have been dead! The entire Terra and the entire empire are over! You've heard that story a million times, right? The emperor's great sacrifice, tell me the lord marshal, do you think the emperor will stand up to save you this time?! Sacrifice yourself again to save you worms! "

"Then do you think Abaddon will do that? Will he give you an 'epic duel' chance? Abaddon just destroyed Cadia, you don't think he will destroy Terra as well, but on the ground Is it time-consuming to fight with you? Do you think he's stupid or are you an idiot?"

"I, I." Desmond was scolded in front of the empire's war god and couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He just looked at Vito in front of him and looked at his god in horror.

"Do you think I'd do that right? I would, but not for you assholes! All the crimes you've done are beyond description! It's been two days since I set foot on Terra, and I've seen your crimes Do it over and over again! Not to mention the bunch of shit you did before!"

Vito roared and glared at the high lords in front of them. They all knelt on the ground and looked at Vito in horror. The golden giant pointed at the lords in front of him, and his eyes were roaring and flashing with golden lightning. , the roar was also mixed with powerful spiritual energy bombarding the surrounding walls, causing the entire space to shake.

"My lord, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I don't want to make you more angry, but there is one thing you must know, and I must tell you according to my duty."

Angvar stood beside Vito and looked at his leader, Vito also turned his head slightly to look at Angvar, he took a deep breath and nodded, "Tell me, Angvar, tell me. "

"Before your arrival, at the lord meeting, Minister Humphrey ordered to continue to scavenge food and take away the last bit of food from the people of Terra. Admiral Bona, the lord of the navy, warned him that Terra would set off a larger scale. , an unstoppable uprising, many armies and armed forces will join the uprising, and the palace will be conquered by the uprising."

"But Minister Humphrey asked Lord Marshal Desmond how to deal with it. Lord Marshal's solution was appalling. He suggested ordering the Imperial Navy to bomb the entire Terra from orbit and blow up all the insurgents, including their nests. , and the innocent residents in it, eliminating the uprising can also feed those people less."

Angvar was right, Vito was furious as soon as he uttered his words, and he glared at the kneeling High Lord, who almost went into cardiac arrest.

"I know now how the Emperor became a mummified corpse, not burnt out by the star torches, but maddened by you idiots! How many more 'surprises' do you have to give me? No, you won't There is a chance, because from now on you will be stripped of the powers of the High Lords!"

As soon as Vito said this, all the high lords widened their eyes. They looked at Vito with incredible expressions, but Vito's angry eyes made no one of them able to say a single word of rebuttal, especially Humphrey, who looked at Vito in total shock, clasped his hands constantly by his side.

"In the name of the Emperor, I announce the dissolution of the Council of High Lords. The era when you borrowed the name of the Emperor to extort money and gratify your own selfish desires is over, and those of you who are talented will retain their positions in this department, and continue to serve in me. Serve the Empire and the Emperor under Guilliman and some of you will be stripped of all power!"

As soon as Vito said this, Minister Humphrey suddenly stood up, he and Vito glared at each other and roared, "No one can take away our power! No one can dissolve the High Lords Council established by the Emperor himself! You. You're trying to rebel! You're betraying the Empire! You're disbanding us in order to take over the power of the Empire and take over the Emperor!"

"Here! Heresy! You are a fake Supreme Marshal! You are a fake! You are all heretics!" Crazy talk.

Vito raised his head and looked at the two oldest, but also the craziest high lords in front of them. They continued to curse Vito with the most vicious curses. Behind him, Commander Trajan stepped forward, "Take care of it. Your mouths! Sinners! What Marshal Vito says is what the Emperor says! You bark again in defiance of the Emperor's own authority!"

"Here! You are a heretic! Commander Trajan! You are a traitor! Since you dare to help this heresy to betray the Emperor?! Sure enough, the Imperial Army has been completely corrupted and depraved! You are all traitors!" Humphrey pointed at the picture irrationally Lazhen shouted, and the latter was instantly irritated. The commander and the guards behind him raised their weapons in anger and walked towards the lords. If Vito raised his hand to stop them, I am afraid that the lords present would be arrested. Torn apart.

Vito raised his head and looked at Humphrey in front of him, he just glanced at him with contempt, and then looked at Admiral Bona behind him, Vito raised his power armor slightly to signal Bona to get up, " I know you, Admiral Bona, and I know you are a respectable man, so stand up."

"You know me, my lord?" Bona asked flattered, while Vito nodded slightly, looking at the other lords in front of him, "I know all of you, so I know who is good enough to continue You are one of those who serve the Emperor, so stand up, Admiral Bona, and Lady Natasha, all of you."

"And you." Vito's words were suddenly full of anger, and his calm tone instantly burned as if being ignited by fuel. He looked at the three most shameful high lords in front of him.

"Humphrey, Pope and Desmond, you will be stripped of all power, and I, Vito Constantine, the Supreme Marshal of the Empire, sentence you in the name of the Emperor."

"No one can judge me! You bastard! No one can judge the lord marshal!" Desmond roared and stood up. He suddenly pulled out a bolter from the waist of his large military coat. The shotgun was pointed at Vito, and the black muzzle was aimed at Vito's forehead.

"Bold!" Trajan roared and raised his battle axe. The Custodians behind him picked up the bolter part of the halberd and aimed at Desmond. Vito raised his hand lightly to stop them from shooting the lord. The marshal was broken into pieces.

Vito looked at Desmond in front of him coldly, he raised his head slightly and looked at him, "You are no longer the lord marshal, Desmond, don't continue to roar with that title, it will only make you look more pitiful. ,you all are."

"You have no right to deprive us of our power! We are lords appointed by the Emperor himself! You have no right to do so!" Humphrey roared on the side, while Trajan clenched his axe and slammed the end of its handle It hit the ground, and a huge crash echoed under the dome of the entire hall.

"No, he has. I personally escorted the Marshal to the Golden Throne. The Emperor gave him this right. The armor worn by the Marshal is the best proof. It is the Emperor's armor, and that is the authority he bestowed upon him. ."

"Lies! Lies!" the Pope yelled hysterically, holding his head. "I am his choice! The Emperor will tell me personally. He. He told me that you are heretics! You are lying!"

Trajan looked at the poor and shameful old man, hysterically roaring and doing everything for nothing, including Desmond with the bolt gun, while the former head of the Council of the High Lords looked Looking at Vito, his mechanical eyeballs flashed red, as if his entire mind was on the verge of collapse. He tried to keep the last shred of reason and looked at Vito, speaking in an extremely threatening tone.

"Without us, you will not be able to run the three most powerful departments of the empire, the Ministry of State, the Ministry of State Education and the Ministry of Military Affairs. Our people are all over the department. Without us, no one can lead them. You need us, Marshal, you We cannot be dismissed."

Vito looked at the wise Humphrey and smiled, he raised his head slightly and looked at the minister in front of him and smiled, "To answer you with your favorite sentence, Minister Humphrey, in your respective departments some are willing to Take your place, the obedient ones, and your henchmen. Believe me, they have now been sent by Eva to the Emperor, and the Emperor will decide how to punish them, and you."

"No!" Humphrey roared in exasperation and tore off his white robe. The snow-white robe, which symbolized the highest authority of the Ministry of Government, was violently torn open. The buttons snapped and hit the ground. Watt looked at Humphrey, and then they both took a step back.

"Protect the marshal!" Trajan shouted and rushed forward. He and the Custodians blocked Vito like a high golden wall, and Vito looked at Humphrey in front of him from the gap between them. , he tore off his robe, revealing the next bomb attached to his mechanical chest.

Bona and the other former lords all retreated immediately after seeing this. They watched Humphrey in shock at what they saw, but Humphrey had completely lost his reason at this moment, and his last bit of resistance was also rejected. Vito disintegrates, but he will not give up his rights, he will never!
"No one can deprive me of my rights! I am the eternal high lord of the Ministry of State! Either I am, or no one can be!" Humphrey yelled, holding the bomb embedded in his chest, he was obviously ready for a long time. At this point, when he is finally completely unable to defend his infinite power, he plans to die at the same time.

"No one can take my place! Neither can you! Let's die together!" Humphrey roared as hysterically as the Pope, looking at Vito, who walked away from the Custodians Coming out, he gently pushed Trajan in front of him, and walked in front of them wearing the Emperor's own armor.

Vito looked down at the three people in front of him, he raised his head and looked down at the three people in front of him, looking at them as if he was looking at insects, "Let me finish the sentence that you interrupted me before, in the name of the emperor, My sentence to you is the death penalty."

Vito clenched his fists as he spoke, his golden iron fists suddenly raised, and suddenly a huge gravitational force gathered Humphrey, the Pope, and Desmond together. Invisible fists were clenched in their hands and raised high, and the three shameful former high lords were thrown into the air of the dome of the parliamentary hall.

"No one! No one can take away my power! Or everyone will die!" Humphrey shouted, looking at Vito below, he roared with the bomb on his chest, but Vito watched Gave him a smile.

"Ah, you're getting older, former High Lord Humphrey and former Minister of State, let me help you." Vito said with a tick of his finger, the bomb on Humphrey's chest turned red. The rib was snapped, and Humphrey screamed at the folded rib.

His screams were quickly engulfed by the explosion. Humphrey, the Pope, and Desmond were surrounded by that force. The fire of the explosion filled the psychic sphere, and their bodies were inside the sphere. Disappeared in the flames of the explosion, and died tragically in their own "Jedi Revolt" before they could even scream.

Vito let go of his palm, and the ball disappeared into the air. There was nothing left, and none of the steel on their bodies remained. Vito looked down at the remaining empire standing in the hall in shock. Ministers, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the people in front of him.

"You acquiesce to the treasonous behavior of these three people, I can let go of the past, I will save your life because you are not rotten, you are still worthy of allegiance to me and the emperor, and to serve the empire and all mankind, soon you Those traitors and scum in their respective departments, those worms that do not need any rescue will be wiped out under the joint operation of the Inquisition and the Assassin Court, and now, I need your answers."

Vito stared at the remaining ministers in front of him, Bona stood at the head of them, the admiral looked at Vito in front of him, he immediately knelt down and buried his head in front of Vito, "I, Bona Von. Admiral Ortan, I would like to swear allegiance to you on behalf of all the members of the Empire, my High Marshal."

"The Rogue Trader family is loyal to you, and we only follow your lead." The representative of the Rogue Trader knelt down, and soon Nataza, who was behind him, knelt down on one knee. She knelt gracefully on the ground and bowed her head to Vito. .

"Xingyuyuan re-swears allegiance to you, my lord, we will continue our responsibilities ten thousand years ago."

Soon, everyone in the entire hall knelt down, representing their divisions, the most powerful divisions of the empire, showing their loyalty to Vito.

"The Inquisition, the Assassin Court formally swears allegiance to you, my lord, I will give you my title again, and I will serve you as an ordinary Grand Inquisitor. At the same time, the Gordon Grand Judge of the Legal Department also entrusts me. I swear allegiance to you at this moment, and all the judges and armed forces of the Ministry of Justice are at your command."

Angvar said and knelt beside Vito. At the same time, Trajan also knelt down with the imperial guards. The tall body of the golden guards knelt down behind Vito.

"I, Trajan, Commander-in-Chief of the Custodians, also swear by the Emperor's orders that the Emperor's Custodians and Sisters of Silence will obey your orders, in the name of the Emperor."

"In the name of the Emperor, I, Vito Constantine, the Supreme Marshal of the Empire and the Acting Regent once again accept your oath. Now, get up everyone, the time we have given us is estimated to be coming to an end."

Vito said and signaled everyone around him to get up. After everyone stood up, Vito turned and walked to the corridor of the parliament hall behind him. The people behind him followed immediately. Trajan and Angvar followed at the front. Wa walked beside Vito and looked at his marshal.

"Sir, where are we going now?"

Vito showed a smile, and he walked forward with his head held high, "Let the empire know that the era of the Great Crusade is back."
