Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 255 Resolving the Sky Lion
Upon hearing Chen Xi mention this matter, Company Commander Galadon and Marshal Mordrek also turned their gazes to Regiment Commander Yolandil, and the atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy.

Although they didn't know much about the case between the Tian Shi Battle Group and the Tribunal, they had a general understanding of what was going on.

Especially because of the genetic seed, the Imperial Fist summoned all the sub-groups they could contact to discuss countermeasures, and the Sky Lion Battle Group naturally would not hide such crucial information.

Not to mention, the Tian Shi Battle Group still has a company serving in the Expeditionary Force, and they've all been decimated.

When Chen Xi asked again, Yolandil, the leader of the Sky Lion Battle Group, showed obvious hesitation and doubt in his eyes.

This is quite rare for the Sons of Dorne, who are usually as stubborn as stones, rarely hesitant or indecisive, and once they have set their sights on a goal, they will stubbornly persist until the wall collapses.

But this time, the choice is not so easy for the Tian Shi battle group.

As for Yolandil himself, he naturally hoped to continue upholding the honor of the Chapter and would never compromise with the Inquisition.

Even if it leads to the annihilation of the entire Sky Lions, the Son of Dorne will never tarnish his honor.

But now, the Sky Lions Battle Group owes Chen Xi a favor, or to put it more bluntly, a debt of honor.

Based on this, Chen Xi could ask the Tian Shi Battle Group to do something, even if it might lead to a heavy price for the Tian Shi Battle Group.

During the Battle of Badab, some of the Astartes chapters that joined Huron's side were fighting because of honor debts, and some were even nearly wiped out as a result.

They even went missing during the subsequent crusade for redemption, and were almost completely lost.

From this perspective, even if Chen Xi really demanded that the Tian Shi Battle Group apologize to the court, given the restrictions on honorary debts, the Tian Shi Battle Group would have no choice but to obediently admit it.

However, Chen Xi did not use this honorary debt; he simply asked Yolandil if he would consider his proposal.

This undoubtedly earned Yolandil and the other two sons of Dorne great favor, and forced Yolandil to seriously consider the matter.

"If the Sky Lion Legion is unwilling to submit, what will you do?" Yolandil looked at Chen Xi, staring directly into his eyes, and asked tentatively.

Yolandil wanted to make a careful choice and naturally wanted to know Chen Xi's attitude towards the matter.

Although Anatoly's intelligence to the Sky Lions Chapter had already made things very clear, Yolandil still wanted to confirm Chen Xi's attitude once more, especially since the Mother Chapter and the strongest sub-champion of the Sons of Dorne were also present this time, which gave the Sky Lions Chapter the courage to say no.

Faced with Yolandil's question, Chen Xi shook his head with a hint of regret and sighed, "If you choose this path, I will do nothing. I will neither persecute you nor help you when the Inquisition is destroying you."

Yolandil was quite satisfied with this answer. Although Chen Xi said he wouldn't save anyone, at least he wouldn't persecute the Sky Lion Battle Group, which was already considered friendly to the Sky Lion Battle Group, who had offended the Inquisition.

As for the rest? The Sky Lion Legion, already prepared to sacrifice themselves, did not mind dying to defend the honor of the Legion.

However, just as Yolandil was about to reject Chen Xi's previous proposal, Chen Xi added before he could speak: "Although I can understand your choice, I still want to advise you that at this critical juncture when the empire is in turmoil, I hope that you can preserve your lives and dedicate them to more crucial moments, rather than wasting them on meaningless internal strife within the empire."

"The empire is in turmoil?" Marshal Mordreck suddenly spoke, looking at Chen Xi with curiosity: "Could you explain it more clearly?"

"The Emperor has entrusted me with a sacred mission, but I cannot speak of it until the appointed day arrives." Chen Xi sighed, seemingly helpless, and then pulled out a uniquely shaped dagger from his body: "I can only tell you that the Sons of God are about to return, and there will be more than one. For the mission entrusted to me by the Emperor, I need to gather all the forces that can be united."

Faced with Chen Xi's cryptic words, Yolandil wanted to say something more, and Marshal Mordrek was even more confused. But Company Commander Galadon suddenly changed his expression and asked Chen Xi, "Which Son of God will return? Our father..."

"The first son of the returning prince is ambitious, and the second son of the returning prince is hiding secrets. I'm sorry I can't reveal more, because many things will be known if I say them out loud. I must ensure that some key information remains confidential." Chen Xi shook his head, refusing to reveal any more information.

“I understand. So what can the Imperial Fist do?” Galadron stared at Chen Xi…the dagger in his hand, asking very seriously.

As guardians of Terra, the warriors of the Imperial Fist have the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Holy Terra, and Galadon once saw a weapon identical to the dagger in Chen Xi's hand on the Imperial Guard guarding the palace.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xi said, "When the Mountain Array leaves Holy Terra, send more people to the moon."

"The moon? Why?" Galadon asked, puzzled, but Chen Xi did not answer the question.

His words were vague and mysterious. In the past, the Sons of Dorne would have found a way to get Chen Xi to talk, but now they could only suppress their curiosity and curiosity, keep Chen Xi's words in mind, and prepare to discuss them later.

After careful consideration, Yolandil said to Chen Xi, "The Sky Lion Legion is willing to accept your proposal, but publicly apologizing to the Inquisition is too insulting to the Legion's honor. Is there any other way?"

In response, Chen Xi simply shrugged and said, "If the Imperial Fist is willing to intervene and mediate with the Inquisition on your behalf, then it's not something that can't be discussed."

Upon hearing Chen Xi's words, Galadon quickly replied, "The Imperial Fist had already discussed this before coming here. They will send a note and inquiry to the Inquisition headquarters, and we will get involved in this matter."

“In that case, as long as the Sky Lion Legion establishes enough honor in the expedition, I will be able to give an explanation to the Inquisition.” Chen Xi considered it for a moment and felt that if the Imperial Fist intervened, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

Marshal Mordreck, who was standing to the side, also spoke up: "I have already reported this matter to the Grand Marshal. The Black Temple will also intervene in this matter and will not allow the Sky Lion Legion to suffer this injustice."

"Alright, but I still have a word of advice for you two: don't embarrass the court, or none of you will feel good about it," Chen Xi couldn't help but add.
