Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 209: Under the Antarctic, the meeting on the other side.

"I still have something to do..."

The cardinal of the state religion was the first to react, and left the venue following the figure of the representative of the trial court.

The representative of the Assassin court even disappeared in place without knowing when.

"But their warships haven't been clarified yet..."

The Admiral of the Navy is still indignant, this is a major matter involving his own faction, and it is definitely not in his plan to end it so easily.

"There is no need."

Prime Minister Melo shook his head at him, signaling him to stop pointless accusations.

Now that the Tribunal has come forward to resist the greatest source of authority, it is of little significance to pursue this fleet.

Pity.

Mello thought so in his heart.

The motion this time was by no means impromptu, and as for the incidents of these battle groups, it was just a pretext for him.

If the initial proposal goes as he wishes, under the deliberate guidance of the layers of policies, it will be a powerful cleansing of the part of the existing battle group that does not obey orders and habitually walks alone.

It's a pity that things didn't go as expected.

Obviously before the meeting started, he had already asked the opinions of the majority and got their support.Even the Imperial Fist, who was a temporary member, had deliberately been absent to cooperate with his actions, but the final result was still an accident.

The inquisition's betrayal was beyond his expectation.

Because since the establishment of this institution, the surveillance and purge of Astartes has always been one of their main responsibilities.

Melo never thought that the biggest obstacle would come from here, nor did he expect that the targeting of a few ordinary battle groups this time would actually cause a reshuffle of the entire Tribunal's internal forces.

Yes, this is a naked internal reshuffle.

He didn't need any intelligence evidence, just the representative who pretended to be relaxed but left in a panic was enough to confirm the news.

Council representatives of the Inquisition are not important positions within them.

This can be seen from the tenure of this post, which can be as short as five years or as long as [-] years.

This seat has never been fixed to one person, and sometimes even ten people can hold it at the same time.

Since when has a post that is merely a mouthpiece required a temporary motion for election?
What kind of situation can allow an unknown ordinary member to be directly promoted to a high-ranking lord from a remote village far outside Terra, and directly sit on the seat of a parliamentary representative?
And all these processes happened in just ten days?
What exactly are they trying to express?What is happening to them at this time?
Mello sat in his official residence, looking to the far south through the window of the huge Gothic building.

It is not only the headquarters built for the Inquisition by the emperor's own decree, but also the source of power for today's storm to be stopped unexpectedly.

The fact is also as he expected, in the huge Tribunal complex under the surface of Terra’s South Pole, a meeting concerning the fate of countless people is going on, and it has been going on for a full 140 hours.

"Is the meeting over yet?"

Junior Inquisitor Galsworthy whispered to the guard outside the door of an underground palace.

The letter with the urgent sign has been stuck in his hands for three days. This letter involves the fate of dozens of worlds in the Limit Star Field.

If it can't be delivered to his boss, he can't imagine the consequences.

"No, I think you can activate the emergency plan and decide the problem in your hands."

He was obviously not the only one waiting beside him, at least a dozen low-ranking judges were waiting for their superiors.

Among them, the other colleague who was closest to him could not see his anxious appearance, and reminded him aloud.

"But I don't have the right!"

He couldn't help but amplified the volume a little, and then quickly retracted under the gaze of everyone.

"Then start the plan."

"Then my authority is not enough!"

"Then start a new plan..."

Hehe... what a damn empire joke!

A low-pitched laugh sounded from the crowd, apparently it wasn't the first time these people had seen this situation.

In the past 140 hours, I don't know how many extremely important information have been sent from afar, but without exception, they were all blocked from this cold gate.

"What the hell are they talking about?"

The unimaginable Gowers couldn't help it.

He knew it shouldn't be, but he still asked the question.

This is a rare meeting.

No, this may be the largest meeting of the Tribunal since its establishment.

There are more than a thousand representatives from the three major religious orders and several small religious orders.

After a certain signal, they quietly returned to Terra from all over the Empire.

After quietly arriving at the Tribunal through a secret channel bypassing the empire's vision, they quietly and tacitly began to divert to their respective venues under an ancient agreement.

A very small number of them, less than 300 absolute core members, will have the right to directly enter the main venue to participate in this important discussion;

The rest of the high-ranking members can only be guided into the second-level venue to witness their fate under the transfer of video signals.

And the boss of the low-level judge, Gors, is the one in charge of listening.

Yes, they can only witness or listen, they have only this right.

But even this is an irreplaceable honor.

This is almost an unimaginable scene in the Tribunal, whose core spirit is "anti-authority and suspicion of everything".

But the process of initiating the meeting is so old that it was never contemplated that it would ever be activated when it was set up.

All members who were informed and fortunate enough to attend the meeting are willing to temporarily put aside their past professionalism and participate in this meeting wholeheartedly.

"I announce! Intermission is over."

In the ancient bronze-toned hall, the interim chairman of the Tribunal Terra Council—the high-ranking lord judge Rudolf Kance lowered his head, tapped the microphone three times, and then said.

At this time, most of the seats in the venue were full, and the high-ranking judges from all over the empire had different expressions, but they all looked at his figure indifferently.

The resumes of each of these people are legendary, and anyone who walks out at random can easily cause a large amount of blood and rain in a certain province of the empire.

And at this moment, they were all quietly sitting under the rostrum, witnessing the initiation of a certain agreement concerning the establishment of the Tribunal.

Facing these sharp sword-like gazes, Rudolph Kance subconsciously licked his lips, and then looked at Walden, the supreme mentor of the Gray Knights at the end of the rostrum.

The latter also responded firmly after feeling his gaze.

"I declare that the twelve seats of the original council of the Tribunal have officially resumed operation!

Headed by the Holy Hammer Order, the three major Orders are permanent seats!The ratio of seats is 4:3:3, and the remaining two seats are non-permanent seats, which are rotated by 11 small religious orders!
In addition, the Order of the Holy Hammer officially announced its reorganization!

The Gray Knights will officially take over the seats within the Inquisition.

And according to the plan, retired Gray Knight members will be provided year by year to supplement the vacancies of high-ranking judges of the order! "

(Before splitting into three major religious orders, only the Holy Hammer Order had twelve initial seats in the Tribunal.

Among them, the gray knights theoretically occupy eight seats, and the mortal judges of the Inquisition occupy four seats.

Initially there were four mortal judges, two died in battle and two defected.

In order to smoothly promote the restoration of the Gray Knights' dominance in the Order of the Hammer, this meeting paid half of the permanent seats as a price. )
　Second watch, please vote.
