Terra's Spring

"Okay, what do you need me to do?"

Roboute flipped through the list while asking about the next steps.

"I need you to report to the Emperor, and also communicate with the Military Department to control the relevant supplies and weapons. The rest is up to the Department of Justice."

"Are you really sure you want to do this? Judging from the numbers on this list, if this is really implemented, less than 1% of the nobles in all of Terra will be left."

"Watch your wording, Roboute. Less than 1% of the old aristocracy remains. The nobles on Terra have histories spanning centuries; they're all established families. If the old ones leave, aren't there still young people?"

"Are you trying to sow discord among them?"

That's a really good tactic. Kill off a bunch of old ones and replace them with a bunch of new ones. Newcomers always have a lot of enthusiasm and aspirations for the future.

In this way, the entire leadership of Terra will be completely transformed.

"This isn't called division, Roboute; this is called a power realignment."

"Fortune's wheel turns, and this year it's my turn. We must give young, ambitious nobles a chance; we can't let those half-dead old bones keep occupying positions and doing nothing."

"Trust me, Roboute. Once we complete the transition between the old and new nobles throughout the Solar System, the new nobles will take care of the rest."

Hiss.

If it can really be done, their pressure will indeed be much less.

It's very simple. There's an inherent conflict between them and the old aristocracy. They want to Anti-Corruption and take the old aristocracy's lives, but the old aristocracy will definitely not agree to it.

However, after the new nobles were installed, they became allies because these new nobles were promoted by them.

In order to demonstrate their loyalty and consolidate their position, the new nobles would inevitably turn against the old nobles.

This makes the entire work process much easier, because nobles know best about the flaws and weaknesses of the nobility.

"Alright, I'll go and report this to my father right now."

"Then I'll lead my men and get moving."

Aren't you waiting for a clear answer?

"Waiting for a clear answer is your Administratum's business, since you have to follow the procedures. But the Department of Justice is only responsible for evidence and arrests; that's a privilege granted by the Emperor."

Roboute took the evidence given to him by Curze to the Throne Room, while Curze went to the military camp after leaving the Administratum.

"My lord! The entire Eighth Legion has assembled!"

"Weiss, have the rosters been distributed yet?"

"It's been sent out."

Curze nodded and looked at the army formation.

"I hope that during this time you have all looked at the roster in your hands."

"Yes!"

"Very good. Now, you will be led by the Evernight Judges Legion to launch a severe crackdown on all criminals within Terra."

"There is only one objective this time: to annihilate them completely, understand?"

"Clear!"

For the nobles on Terra, for the crimes they committed, the Death Sentence was the only option.

Therefore, for the Eighth Legion Corps, this enforcement action was not an arrest, but an on-the-spot execution.

"Furthermore, I don't want the smell of blood to permeate Terra when you're enforcing the law."

"Clear!"

"Let's get started."

Meanwhile, Roboute had just arrived at the Throne Room and reported everything to the Emperor.

"You're too slow, Roboute."

"Slow? Father, I'm fast enough."

While maintaining the proper respect for the Throne Room, Roboute's speed was already the fastest.

"I've already dispatched the Adeptus Custodes to assist the Eighth Legion in law enforcement. As for the relevant matters with the Administratum, I'll give you the green light all the way; you can go and handle it directly."

As long as the Adeptus Custodes are deployed, the Military Department doesn't need to do anything, because the Adeptus Custodes represent the Emperor's will.

???

"Father, let's take a look at the list. Following this method, perhaps less than 1% of the old nobles on Terra will remain."

"Roboute, your Uncle said it well: 'We'll drink from the same cup, but we'll fight to the death.' They are nobles, they have rendered great service, but the Imperium today has no need for corrupt elements."

Hiss...

This...

I understand.

"Father, I will keep everything simple regarding the relevant approvals from the Administratum."

As soon as he left the Throne Room, Roboute ran like the wind towards the Administratum.

The Department of Justice has already taken action, and the relevant approvals from the Administratum need to follow.

Meanwhile, in the Terra noble district, a very strange and terrifying scene was unfolding at this very moment.

The Eighth Legion was divided into numerous squads, each consisting of four men.

The first person stepped forward and presented the arrest warrant from the Imperial Department of Justice, while the second person took relatively longer.

Because he would clash with the nobles, ultimately causing the nobles to strike first.

A third person will stop the nobleman's dangerous actions as quickly as possible. How will they do that?

I don't know, but it's been hailing a lot in the Terra Noble District lately.

Ah?

So it was the head?

That's alright then.

As for the fourth person, his task was very important because he had to clean up the scene.

Before setting off, they kept in mind the Grand Inquisitor's order: enforce the law, but don't let the whole of Terra be filled with the smell of blood.

Ultimately, the nobles went from initially hurling insults and organizing private armed counterattacks to falling into an eerie silence throughout the entire Terra noble region.

They became a flock of silent lambs.

He simply sat quietly at home, waiting for the Department of Justice's arrest warrant and for his head to fly away.

Because they had seen and knew about the actions of the group of four.

The mistakes they made in the past can no longer be hidden.

The Department of Justice is just going through the motions.

If they want to live with dignity, the Department of Justice will give them a bullet; if they don't want to live with dignity, their heads will undoubtedly fly off.

For nobles, being executed with dignity was their last act of resistance and their final act of honor.

When the actions of the Department of Justice made all the nobles in Terra and even the entire Solar System feel insecure, the news from the Administratum reassured them.

As the Department of Justice's work progressed, the Administratum's documents arrived belatedly.

The Administratum announced that, due to the significant impact of the Imperial Department of Justice's Anti-Corruption campaign on the entire Imperium, and in order to fill the relevant vacancies as soon as possible.

The newly emerging nobles will undergo qualification reviews to ensure they are placed in relevant positions as quickly as possible and continue to serve the Imperium.

During this period, the Adeptus Administratum and other relevant Imperium departments will continue to support the Department of Justice's Imperium Anti-Corruption efforts.

And so, the panic among the nobility that had spread from Terra to the entire Solar System began.

Vanish into thin air.

Of course, this is only because this is the Segmentum Solar. Outside the Segmentum Solar, thanks to the Alpha Legion's outstanding capabilities, no one has noticed this.

This is precisely why those noble branches that had long been informed of the need to be wary of the Department of Justice's actions...

They have already taken action at this very moment.

Their only goal was to Father of Night, who proposed the Imperium Anti-Corruption.
