Warhammer 40 Unorthodox Primarch

Chapter 45 The Arrogance of the Court

The judges arrived, and it was a high-ranking judge who immediately displayed the arrogance characteristic of the court, holding a warrant and demanding to take over Aurelia's case.

"Hey! I'm so pretty! Where's my stun gun? This is infuriating! I'm going to stun him! Grab him by the back door and stun him!" Lin Dafa was furious as he watched the judge read out the orders. If the people around him hadn't been holding him back, something terrible would have happened...

"Primarch, are you going to defy the Imperial order and disobey the Inquisition's orders? The Inquisition has shed blood in this world..." the Inquisitor said, leaning on his scepter. Perhaps such a gesture could demonstrate his status and authority, but it had no effect in front of the Primarch.

"The courtroom is a den of filth! You are more disgusting than Nurgle! I will not allow you to take over Aurelia, what can you do about it?" Li Taiji said arrogantly.

"Primarch! You are challenging the authority of the Empire, you are blaspheming the Emperor's majesty..." the Inquisitor said.

"Hahahaha! This is the most hypocritical thing I've ever heard. Can you replace the Emperor? The Emperor's opinion of you isn't very good! Let me correct you, the Primarch's authority isn't given by anyone, it's earned through battle! You sent quite a few soldiers to Chaos in the previous battles, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet! And here you are! Aurelia is mine! No one can take her away! Not even the Emperor himself can..." Li Taiji stood up, and with that one step, his imposing aura immediately rose.

"This... what blasphemy! However... I can pretend you never said that this world will provide battle nuns to the Inquisition from now on..." The Inquisitor, after much beating around the bush, finally revealed his true colors. They were still after the mutations that had occurred among the Aurelians, the blood of the loyal, the lives of the battle nuns...

This is using human lives as firewood!

"If you don't want me to slaughter you all, you'd better get out of here before I get angry! Go back and tell everyone on Terra not to mess with me! I can listen to the Emperor's will that you can't contact at any time. Your tricks don't work on me. In my eyes, you are all heretics! Parasites of the Empire! Don't force me to raise my sword against you!" Li Taiji said condescendingly.

"Primarch, can I understand this as a declaration of war?" The Inquisitor was stubborn and still used the power of the Inquisition behind him to make threats.

"Fine! Release him only! Detain the rest! Don't they like using human lives as fuel? Let's see how loyal they are! Perfect for forging a batch of Heavenly Punishment Weapons! The Tribunal? Heh! Third-rate stuff..." Li Taiji said.

"Alright! Dad! Let go of me! I'll beat you up! I'll teach you to pretend!" The moment Lin Dafa was released, he grabbed the judge and slapped him several times with his psionic energy! He'd been holding back for so long…

All the court's henchmen were captured. In fact, there weren't many of them left, since the main army had already been exhausted. They were just waiting for the judge, since they wanted to use his position rather than actually start a civil war.

However, their once invincible authority failed them. Their previous rhetoric and tactics against other factions were ineffective and even backfired on them!

In fact, the Inquisition misunderstood one thing. They were only bullying some marginalized chapters. The People's Guardians had Primarchs, and their ideology was different from other chapters. What they believed in was considered foolish behavior from their perspective.

In the dark world, the law of the jungle prevails. If you don't have the strength to kill your opponent but insist on pretending, you will only end up being wiped out!

Their past glory was built upon the authority and honor of the empire, illuminated by the prestige forged by countless warbands and legions. But now, with the empire practically in disarray, why would they bother with such formalities? Li Taiji wasn't that loyal! Besides, they weren't emperors!

The court can only offer endless exploitation, but protecting Aurelia will win people's hearts!

These inquisitions and the high lords of Terra are like eunuchs at the end of the Han Dynasty. Li Taiji knows their methods all too well. Li Taiji is not a reckless fool who has seen nothing, so the outcome of the inquisition encountering Li Taiji is naturally predictable...

The news spread throughout Aurelia, winning over the hearts of the people, and the Battle Sisters and everyone else naturally donned the badges of the People's Guardians and completely submitted to the cause.

Li Taiji had to reorganize his troops and improve their overall strength. However, the Imperial Guards arrived; ten Imperial Guards came to Aurelia. Their mission was simple: to collect taxes…

Tithe! The Emperor needs a thousand psionicists every day to keep the Starlight burning, and the Imperial Guard is there to collect the taxes…

However, they were also in a bit of a dilemma in the face of this situation.

The Imperial Guards were unwilling to confront Li Taiji because while others couldn't understand the potential of the People's Guardians, they did. Although the People's Guardians were still young, their potential was limitless!

The Imperial Guards did not read the announcement arrogantly, but rather approached the audience with a tone of consultation…

Tithing was something Li Taiji couldn't avoid, after all, it was for the emperor's sake...

"Primarch, we are here to collect tithes..." The Guard leader removed his helmet and nodded.

"And then?" Li Taiji asked, looking at the Imperial Guards.

"Primarch, I don't understand what you mean..." the Imperial Guard leader asked calmly.

"I have no problem with paying taxes, but aren't you going to help us in any way?" Li Taiji asked with a smile.

"I don't understand what you mean..." the Imperial Guard leader said, puzzled.

"The Imperial Guard is the Emperor's most perfect creation, the Empire's most loyal force. Your combat experience is unparalleled. Surely you wouldn't refuse to stay and nurture my offspring? You've also seen it; we, too, bask in the Emperor's glory, fighting to the death against Chaos and heretics! You cannot turn a blind eye. Terra's palace has confined you for too long. Have you forgotten the glory of the Ten Thousand Men?" Li Taiji said.

This completely stumped the Imperial Guard; no one had ever done anything like this before! Making the Imperial Guard their coaches? Putting aside their attitude towards Astartes, this wasn't even part of their job!

But once the emperor sat on the golden throne, they, as the emperor's most precious royal guard, had lost their original glory and arrogance. They were even unwilling to show their red cloaks to the world when they went out...

"Primarch, this... requires the approval of the Commander of the Imperial Guard. We cannot make this decision on our own..." the Imperial Guard said humbly.

"Of course! I'll give you time. I believe you! The Imperial Guard still has a sense of honor and remains loyal to the Emperor! You should know that I am fighting on behalf of the Emperor. Alright! Leave now that you have what you want! I don't want you to target Aurelia. This is a world of suffering, and it needs to recuperate. I have also demonstrated my loyalty and responsibility to the Emperor. I need your help..." Li Taiji stopped while he was ahead.

"Whether there are dates or not, we'll try our best!" The most valuable asset of the Imperial Guards isn't their combat prowess, but their experience and knowledge! The People's Guardians need the Imperial Guards' help to improve their combat experience. Although actual combat can slowly increase experience, there isn't that much time. Suffering losses without gaining any advantage isn't Li Taiji's style. The Imperial Guards, in terms of both manpower and equipment, completely overwhelm all other battle groups. The People's Guardians need to improve their own capabilities…
