Perturabo

Within the IV Legion, Perturabo also received Imperium documents.

Roboute's approach is surprisingly similar to Curze's approach.

After all, in order to go to the front lines, Curze had sent all the non-combatants from his Legion to the rear.

Perhaps this wasn't Curze's idea, but rather his Uncle's.

"Pass down the word: starting today, the Legion will implement a policy of Eleven-Choice Examination. Anyone who fails the test will receive 20 Flogging and must report to Roboute in Terra."

"Yes!"

"Everyone, prepare for the Decimation!"

??

Hearing his battalion commander say this, Perturabo was a little confused. He had clearly said it was Eleven-Choice Examination, so why did it become Decimation?

Normally, Perturabo would have dismissed this guy by now.

But now, he habitually checks the Wrench on his arm guard before doing anything.

I was referring to Eleven-Choice Examination holiday, not murder.

???

Take an exam?

"Father? You..."

"Since Uncle said that useless people should be sent to the rear to handle government affairs, then I think that's just right."

"Iron Warriors, strong inside and out, don't need spineless cowards who can't shoulder honor. Let them be Civil Servants!"

"And you, Kodomō, you can't even hear my orders properly. You don't need to take the test anymore. Go collect your 20 Flogging now, then report to Roboute."

No?

I'm innocent!

Although they don't need the Decimation, the changes in their Gene-Father are encouraging, but what about going into government affairs?

He was Warsmith, he was a battalion commander.

He's a great Master Architect, why would you put him in government service?

"Father! I object!"

Perturabo had changed so much during this period that, in the eyes of these Astartes, their Primarch had become somewhat benevolent.

This allowed them to release some of their suppressed emotions, which is why they started to become somewhat disobedient.

Specifically, this manifested in his frequent objections to Pedrabo.

Perturabo suppressed his urge to reprimand him and simply watched him.

"I feel like I should probably go talk to the Minister of General Affairs?"

Are you going to see your Uncle?

That's true.

If you go to Roboute, although he will arrange for his Scions to be placed in appropriate positions, he will definitely not make the best use of their talents like your Uncle did.

As for seeking out other Imperium institutions, they would only act like the Emperor.

So, let's talk to your Uncle.

"Alright, take 40 Flogging and go to the Department of General Affairs."

The extra 20 Flogging were considered punishment for his objection.

"Yes!"

"I'll give you two hours. After two hours, the Eleven-Choice Examination will begin. Those who fail will receive 20 Flogging and report to the Department of General Affairs."

Twenty Flogging?

What's the difference between that and scratching an itch?!

Praise be to the Father of Night his teachings!

At this moment, most of the Astartes in the IV Legion were deeply grateful to the Father of Night, whom they had never met.

His influence on his Gene-Father, was immense.

Most importantly, the Father of Night led his Gene-Father to guide them through the dust and the construction.

That's wonderful!

Each Astartes is influenced by the Gene-seed of its own Gene-Father.

The IV Legion: Every single one of them is Master Architect.

Of course, before Han Mingxuan appeared, they were all conflicted people.

But things are much better now.

"My lord, there is an urgent call from the Father of Night."

???

News of Uncle?

"Take it."

"Perturabo, are you under a lot of pressure lately?"

"Everything is fine, Uncle."

"That's good. I contacted you to ask about the situation with Lycaeus."

"Everything is fine here. Corax has demonstrated his abilities and lived up to your expectations."

"However, given his current abilities, it will still take him some time to unify the entire Planet."

"In that case, why don't you come to Terra?"

"Back to Terra?"

"Yes, didn't the Administratum recently issue a document? Since your Legion is under the Department of General Affairs's management, I need to make some arrangements. Also, there are some things I need to give you."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Since his Uncle asked him to go back, he would definitely go back, no matter what the reason.

Three days later, the Eighth Legion arrived in Terra, Han Mingxuan was the first to receive the news.

The arrival of the Eighth Legion meant that he could finally unleash his full potential and make a big splash.

At the same time, it also means that he no longer has to be stuck in Terra.

Magnus's problem must be resolved as soon as possible.

Of course, in addition to the Eighth Legion, there is also the IV Legion at the location of the Solar System Defence Line.

"This is the Eighth Legion. I hope you have received Dorn's orders."

"Yes, sir. According to the Gene-Father's orders, during the period until the Anti-Corruption concludes, the Seventh and Eighth Legions will jointly guard the Solar System Defence Line."

Having received a positive reply, Curze prepared to land with his Legion, but at that moment, he encountered the IV Legion.

Fourth Brother?

"It's Curze! Long time no see. How's everything going?"

"Everything went smoothly, but the Terra anti-corruption is serious this time, Dad asked me to come back and help."

My Uncle also asked me to come back.

"That's perfect timing, let's go together."

The Flagships of the two Legions landed, and Perturabo and Curze went to Han Mingxuan's residence.

"Dad! Dad, I'm home!"

"What are you yelling about? Can't you see your juniors are doing their homework?"

"I'm so excited, please don't mind, you two."

"No, senior."

These two dared not blame Curze now. Firstly, they were already very fortunate to be able to learn from Han Mingxuan. Secondly, they had always admired and respected Curze, who was like the Lord of Drakes.

"Uncle, I'm back."

"I didn't expect you two to run into each other. That's perfect, let's have dinner together."

"Where are Talos and the other two?"

"They're organizing the data; they trust their own people the most for the Scouring."

"The Scouring?"

"Yes, Fourth Brother, Terra is in dire straits now, and we have to use ruthless methods. Otherwise, if we're fighting on the front lines and trouble breaks out in the rear, it'll be a real problem."

Do you need my help?

"No, you have more important things to do. You know I'm a Teacher, so there are some philosophical things I need to discuss with you."

Do you want to exchange ideas with your Uncle?

I couldn't ask for more!

After finishing his meal, Curze returned to the Department of Justice.

Although that place was a nightmare, he was familiar with it well enough, while Perturabo stayed behind.

"Uncle."

"Long time no see, Perturabo. You've had a tough time these past few days."

Having experienced Nostramo, Han Mingxuan knew very well that destroying something was far easier than creating it, not to mention that managing it after creation was even more difficult.

"No, Uncle, construction makes me happy."

"Haha, I knew it! There are no bad Primarch, only Primarch in the wrong position."
