The Bat, the Raven, and the Dreadnought

After three days in Nostramo, Dorn left with Defensio.

At the same time, Defensio also brought good news to the entire Eighth Legion and the Council of the Long Night.

Their Uncle will come back after the Anti-Corruption ends.

This one sentence alone caused an uproar throughout the entire Eighth Legion.

The Evernight Legion, in particular, began to move with remarkable speed.

Almost immediately after Defensio spread the news, Curze recalled the members of the Council of the Long Night once again.

"Brothers, it seems the day Dad returns to Terra isn't far off."

"Great! Then we'll have to step up our efforts!"

"Don't get too excited, Talos. We do need to speed up our work, but we need to cooperate," Curze said.

"Transfer personnel from other Legions?"

Currently, the Alpha Legion is responsible for intelligence, while the Department of Justice and the XIX Legion are jointly responsible for execution.

Do we need to transfer more people over?

Dark Angels?

Everyone turned to look at Aequus.

"Don't look at me like that. Although I have a good relationship with that Lion, I can't rely on others for this kind of thing at a time like this."

I suggest we leave our work structure unchanged.

"What are you all thinking? I'm talking about the 19th Legion, Corax."

"Corax?"

Hearing Curze's words, Sevatar was somewhat uncertain.

"That's right, it's the nineteenth brother. His Legion's capabilities are inherited from him, and his capabilities are even stronger."

Hiss.

Stronger?

Even before the Primarch of the 19th XIX Legion returned, their capabilities were already astonishing. If it weren't for the Evernight Network, they would have truly been lacking in this area.

But now that the Primarch has returned, is he even stronger?

"Shen, how is the construction progressing at Lycaeus?"

"Through the continuous development of the IV Legion, the basic framework for Lycaeus's current construction has been established. At the same time, Corax himself has expressed his desire to join the Great Crusade to the Imperial Army Command."

"I'm going to find Roboute."

Inside the Administratum, Roboute is now much more relaxed than he was three years ago.

In his calculations, the bulk of the Imperium Anti-Corruption campaign was already complete.

"Curze, you've given me work again."

"I'm not assigning you work, I'm asking for your help."

"Isn't that still the same?"

"I hope the work you give me won't be too difficult, because I'm taking a day off tomorrow."

"I know you only get four days off a month. I'm here today hoping you can negotiate with the Military Department to temporarily transfer the 19th XIX Legion to the Department of Justice."

Why would they be transferred to the Department of Justice?

"The Department of Justice needs to eradicate the Imperium's most stubborn cancer of corruption. The assistance of the 19th XIX Legion is indispensable."

"Again? Isn't the Anti-Corruption almost over?"

"What are you thinking about? Let me show you the List."

"No need, I already have the original List."

"Isn't that settled? We'll get rid of the remaining, most stubborn ones too."

"You... I... I don't work overtime."

"Understood. How do you plan to rest?"

"The beginning and end are connected, rest for eight days."

"Okay, we'll get started after your vacation ends."

Then, Roboute felt that eight days of rest was a bit too little.

Because the Holiday ended quickly.

Then the 19th XIX Legion was directly assigned to the Department of Justice.

When he received the order, Corax could hardly believe it.

But he went anyway.

"Long time no see, Corax. Your skin looks much healthier now."

"Haha, getting more sun is always helpful, but I want to get to work as quickly as possible."

"That's good, Slazov!"

"Exist!"

"Begin the final the Scouring!"

"Yes!"

The Scouring?

The method mentioned in the Evernight Epic —it works incredibly well no matter how you use it!

The Lord of Ravens also enjoys the Scouring.

"Next, I order the Eighth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Legion to form a joint Anti-Corruption law enforcement team."

"The team consists of the Evernight Judges, Astartes, and the Dreadnought."

"Wait! The Dreadnought?"

Corax felt a headache coming on when he heard Curze's plan.

What's the point of Dreadnought in the fight against Anti-Corruption?

Are we supposed to just run straight to the nobles' houses, unleash the Dreadnought, and wipe them all out?

"Yes, for those nobles who stubbornly resist, we can simply overwhelm them with our Dreadnoughts."

"But you don't need to worry too much. The Department of Justice and the Administratum will fully cooperate with us regarding the paperwork process."

"The Department of Justice submits a report, the Administratum approves the order, and the execution office opens fire."

"And I believe the shadow beneath the Lord of Ravens's wings can protect the Dreadnought's form."

"You found the evidence?"

"The suspected evidence still needs to be confirmed. I can't confirm it before then, but now that you're back, your job, and your Legion's job, is to confirm the evidence."

Are you sure this method of law enforcement isn't illegal?

"So you need to establish a foothold first before we can make our move, Corax. I'm sorry to put you in such a difficult position right after you get back, but it's necessary."

"Only by quickly getting rid of these Vermin can Dad return to Terra."

"In that case, leave it to me."

"Slazov."

"Exist."

"Execute the Nine Laws of the Night Bat. I'm going to see the Emperor."

"Yes!"

When the three Legions were working together, Curze found the Emperor, but to his surprise, both the Emperor and Malcador were there, and they did not discuss any important matters.

"Oh, you two seem to be in a good mood. Are you perhaps planning a Dusk romance? Why are you suddenly changing your clothes?"

"Ahem, well, it's like this, Curze, we heard that Old Han is coming back soon, so we were thinking of making some preparations."

"Dad won't come back until the Anti-Corruption is over. If you want Dad to come back soon, the Anti-Corruption has to end as soon as possible."

"Curze, I hope you understand my good intentions."

"Of course I understand. Although your method isn't what I like, it's effective. Besides, I've come to see you today because I want you to sign an Amnesty Decree."

Amnesty Decree?

Whom do you want to pardon?

"This amnesty is not in the name of the Grand Inquisitor, but in the name of the Emperor."

"So who do you want to pardon?" Malcador asked with a smile.

"Gusalto Family, this is the Amnesty List."

"Is this considered favoritism and corruption?"

"No, this is for the upcoming Military Reforms."

???

What?

"Child, I may be getting senile. What did you just say?"

Malcador suspects he has just gone deaf.

Even the Emperor stared at Curze in shock.

This little bat is even crazier than his dad.

"Military Reform, officially known as the Imperium of Man Military Reform, I've already drafted the reform plan."

Have you thought this through?

"Of course, I'll be leading this Military Reform; Dad will finish the rest."

Old Han?
