Just when this huge war on the edge of Milky Way had just come to an end, Holy Terra received a communication from Iax.
The two Mechanicus Ship ships belonging to the Men of Iron garrison group from the outside of Eye of Terror have just arrived at the edge of Solar System.
Information requesting to log in to Terra and access the ominous Conclave was sent to Terra Departmento Munitorum. Usually the person responsible for these communications is Imperium. Astropathic Choir, however, Men of Iron Fleet which is not equipped with Astropath often contacts either Inquisition or Departmento Munitorum.
A somewhat confused Departmento Munitorum could only convey the information to Imperium Central Administratum located at the Imperial Palace.
And successfully alarmed Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes Trajann Valoris, High Lords of Terra, Inquisition and Officio Assassinorum inside the high wall.
The last time Men of Iron arrived at Terra and forced his way into the palace, even causing casualties to Adeptus Custodes soldiers, still clearly echoes in Trajann Valoris's memory.
Men of Iron did not initiate any formal process when sending back those Primarch before. He just used Transport Aircraft to dump Primarch and the lost warriors at the Terra landing field and left directly. Imperial Regent Guilliman was notified unilaterally every time.
But this time, he actually took the initiative to apply to the Imperium department. What's even more troublesome is that the other party also specifically specified the target to visit.
"Boom!"
"Who can tell me why Men of Iron knows the evil omen Conclave? What are these Abominable Intelligence doing?!"
A senior member of High Lords of Terra who was affiliated with Departmento Munitorum and was responsible for the defense of Terra slapped the table in front of him and looked at the representatives of Inquisition and Officio Assassinorum Representative who were not far away.
However, Officio Assassinorum Representative didn't say a word, and just turned his head and glanced in the direction of Inquisition's crowd.
Inquisitor Lord, who attended as the representative of Inquisition, looked exhausted and helpless.
"Sir, I think if you ask me, it is better to ask Adeptus Mechanicus directly. We just received the news that these Men of Irons just visited Forge World Lucius."
Hearing the words Adeptus Mechanicus, the congressman was stunned for a moment, and then slowly sat back in his seat.
In the huge conference room, Admiral of the Navy, Solar Lord, and Jia Kexiong, who were members of High Lords of Terra, did not hesitate to signal the guards not far away to send a message to Martian Adeptus Mechanicus Fabricator-General.
As the light of the communication device flickered slightly.
A huge metal structure larger than Dreadnought appears on the screen.
One of the current Fabricator-General of Mars, High Lord, Ude·Oud Oudia Raskian·Raski.
Due to the large number of implants of various Bionic Body devices and the continuous strengthening of these Bionic Body over the long years, Raski looks more like a huge building than a person, so he is the most difficult High Lord to talk to directly.
Just moving his body to the Imperium Senate Chamber required a lot of logistical and construction work.
Moving it requires the cooperation of six cranes, as well as additional power cables and specific add-on components.
And for this emergency meeting, they didn't have time to send 'this building' to the Imperium parliament hall.
"@#!@￥Zizi, what's going on?"
Seeing the figure of Adeptus Custodes appearing in the communication screen, a synthetic voice mixed with harsh noises sounded in the communication, and there was a hint of impatience in the words.
This Fabricator-General of Mars's attitude towards Adeptus Custodes is as bad as ever.
Trajann Valoris also had a bad impression of this unpredictable Tech-priest. Especially since the opponent had blocked the lifting order proposed by Imperium Parliament Prime Minister Lev Tyrone to abolish the restriction order and allow Adeptus Custodes guards to leave Terra during the fall of Cadia in the Thirteenth Black Crusade Battle.
Later, he quietly assisted Inquisitor Lord Adamara Rassilo with Astronomican Court general manager Leops Franck and Rogue Trader spokesperson Kania Dhanda to quietly send an Aeldari Xenos underground to the Imperial Palace.
Fortunately, the Adeptus Custodess on duty succeeded in stopping these idiots before they arrived Emperor Throne Room.
Haemonculus from Aeldari was killed on the spot. Others were implicated to a certain extent.
Afterwards, Trajann Valoris thoroughly investigated the matter and carried out a series of disciplinary measures with the assistance of Officio Assassinorum.
In the end, Inquisitor Lord Rasillo was replaced by High Inquisitor of the Inquisition, and Rogue Trader's High Lord mobile seat was forced to be handed over to Astra Militarum High Marshal.
Astronomican Court General Manager Frank was even sent to the road of glorious sacrifice.
Only Raski, who is Fabricator-General of Mars, did not receive any other punishment after being warned.
Although Adeptus Custodess themselves don't care about the equipment provided by Mars, from the perspective of Imperium, they still cannot fall out with Martian Adeptus Mechanicus.
And Raski, who is Fabricator-General of Mars, has nothing to do with Adeptus Custodes.
After all, most of the equipment used by Adeptus Custodes is actually produced locally in Terra, made by the mysterious craftsmen under Emperor using technologies that make Tech-Priest coveted and fearful.
But even this does not prevent the relationship between Adeptus Custodes and Raski from becoming worse. Fabricator-General of Mars will not hide his attitude towards Adeptus Custodes on any occasion.
Trajann Valoris naturally didn't give the other party a good look. Looking at "that" irregular mechanical "building" in the communication screen, he got straight to the point.
"Men of Iron has sent a formal visit request and wants to visit Ordo Sinister. The additional explanation is about the technical visit and exchange of Titan machinery."
"@##@... So?"
Raski's emotionless rhetorical question made Trajann Valoris raise his eyebrows.
"Men of Iron just visited Forge World Lucius. If I'm not mistaken, Lucius Adeptus Mechanicus and Martian Adeptus Mechanicus have a special connection, right?"
"So what? If you are just asking for my opinion on Men of Iron's visit, then I suggest that I receive Men of Iron on my behalf to prevent you from offending these ancient wisdom crystals."
Raski's proposal was immediately opposed by Inquisition, while Officio Assassinorum silently chose to second the proposal.
Letting Fabricator-General of Mars receive Men of Iron is simply combining danger and unknown, and the result may turn into an unacceptable disaster.
What's more, he is Fabricator-General who has a criminal record.
However, just when the discussion was getting into a tiff, the door of the parliamentary chamber was opened.
Wearing Armour of Fate and Guilliman, she strode into the hall.
"No matter why Men of Iron visited Ordo Sinister, but before you make any decision, I want to show you something."
Primarch's voice revealed a majesty that could not be denied, and even Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes Trajann Valoris could not argue with it.
Several Techmarine carried several sets of equipment, and then projected a huge space sandbox into the mid-air of the conference hall.
Soon everyone at the scene fell silent.
What is displayed in the sand table is the war records and image displays of Men of Iron and Kraken Hive located on the edge of Milky Way. Finally, it also contains some information about Kraken Hive Body.
