Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 231 Imperial Guards: These Two Will Protect You
Well, that's not something he should be investigating right now.

Looking at these highest-ranking commanders who had long been stationed in the Nakmonde Corridor war zone, Tie Hui was unsure whether he should answer truthfully. To be honest, he didn't want to go back.

After all, many of his core bases are in the Ghoul Starfield, and if he were to go back there, he would essentially be penniless.

Moreover, if you go back empty-handed, without any of your own team or power, you'll become a resource puppet that can be easily divided up by various forces.

This way, you could open a portal to leave, but now that damned incomplete system and the Emperor have already merged together.

Even if he goes to other worlds, even if the portal is permanently closed, the Emperor will always follow him.

Perhaps, as time goes on, the Emperor's research into this system will deepen, and he may be able to directly control the opening of the portal.

If they seize the system's permissions when he's not paying attention, and then open the door to let the Imperial Guard, Primarch, and Astartes Legion come over, wouldn't he be finished?

"I'm not going to Terra!" Bastian Grix's decisive refusal of everyone's requests caused him to freeze in his tracks, having initially intended to make his presence known and offer some advice. He stared at Tie Hui, who stood there shaking his head and waving his hands in rejection, looking somewhat bewildered.

Meanwhile, the people around him also looked on with puzzlement and astonishment. Clearly, no one expected that the person chosen by the emperor would so readily refuse the emperor's order.

This immediately made the nuns and guards present look rather unpleasant, since refusing the emperor's decree was tantamount to refusing the emperor's command.

This was tantamount to rejecting their guards and nuns, which was simply unforgivable.

Sister Cassandra Varos's face flushed red and then turned pale, clearly showing her anger.

Atal Tawar and the others remained standing in place, motionless like statues, but clearly, their complexions beneath the visors were not good either.

Although Bastian Grix's expression was also not good, he knew that he had to step in and smooth things over when he saw the nuns and guards present.

"Lord Iron Radiance, the Regent has said that you must be brought back to Terra unharmed! Only there can you exert your greatest contribution to the Empire and even to the entire human civilization. And with the defenses of Terra and the Solar System, your safety is absolutely guaranteed!"

Tie Hui watched as the guy took off his helmet, and the righteous-minded man fell silent for a moment. This kind of shameless, straight-as-an-arrow nonsense was something he had never seen before.

"Can you guarantee my safety?" Tie Hui couldn't help but bend down slightly, bringing himself to Bastian Glicks' head's height, and asked him with a puzzled look, "Putting everything else aside, what exactly happened in the Lionsgate battle?"

These words left everyone speechless. Even the Imperial Guards, who were as still as statues, couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Tie Hui. So we don't know exactly what their expressions were, but they were clearly not good.

Cassandra Varos and Bastian Glicks were both completely frozen in place, their faces stiff.

Bastian Glicks seemed somewhat at a loss. "That...that...that was an accident!"

Tie Hui was speechless for a moment, then turned around and walked towards his stretcher team, waving his hand and saying, "I think I'll pass. I'll just go back to my Ghoul Starfield. If you're really worried, just send a few more battle groups and more supplies. I have my trump cards up my sleeve, you don't need to worry!"

The three men present exchanged glances upon hearing this, and then Atal Tavar spoke first, "Your Excellency, what you're doing puts us in a difficult position!"

"Difficult to handle?" Tie Hui stopped in his tracks, his body remaining still, but he turned his head to look at him. "Then let's not do it!"

He replied in a very shameless manner, which infuriated the three of them. Watching the figure walk away without turning back, Atal Tavar took a step forward, raised his spear, and was about to step forward when a nun grabbed his wrist.

Turning his head, he saw Cassandra Varos shake her head and then sign language, saying, "This is, after all, an order personally issued by the Emperor, the Regent, and the Commander-in-Chief. We can't go too far. After all, the Emperor once personally issued a decree, saying that he is the only chosen one who can absolutely save all mankind and even bring him down from that throne!"

Seeing this, Atal Taivar, no matter how aggrieved he felt, could only suppress his anger and glare fiercely at Tie Hui and the others who had already gone far away.

Seeing that there was no further trouble, Cassandra Varos secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to gesture in sign language, "We can now report the situation here back to Terra and let the Emperor Regent and the Commander-in-Chief discuss and make a decision!"

Bastian Grix then approached and nodded, saying, "I agree with Lady Cassandra. After all, this is the person the Emperor specifically requested. We can't go too far, or the Emperor will be very dissatisfied." He then looked towards Iron Glow and added, "Moreover, the Emperor has pointed out that this gentleman has strong survival skills. And right now, the most important thing is to take the Dalowa system first; otherwise, if we miss the window of opportunity, we won't be able to retreat." His tone then changed, becoming quite helpless, "As for this gentleman! Let's provide him with assistance first and send a large force to protect his safety. We can discuss it further after the Dalowa matter is resolved. Perhaps by then, the Emperor, the Regent, and the others' orders will have been issued here!"

"Hmph!" Atal Taivar snorted coldly, clearly showing his utter disdain for Tie Hui. He then turned to the imperial guards behind him and said, "Lakhtu, Yebor!"

"Here!" *2
Two guards stepped forward. Atal Taivar looked at them and nodded, saying, "You two are fully responsible for the safety of this chosen one." As he spoke, he clenched his fist and pointed his thumb behind him.

As for selecting two Imperial Guards for protection, it wasn't just about protection; more importantly, it was about surveillance. They wanted to see if this chosen one, handpicked by the Emperor, would, like the previous living saints, intensify the deification of the Emperor.

Or they could use the state religion and their own status to seize various political resources from the empire.

All of this was forbidden by their Imperial Guards. If they discovered it, these two brothers, whom they had personally selected and trained, would immediately raise their weapons and behead the person.

"Yes!" The two replied, performed a salute, picked up their weapons, and quickly ran in the direction Tie Hui had left.

Upon seeing this, Cassandra Varos and Bastian Grix exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison before giving instructions to their subordinates and comrades-in-arms.

After all, according to rumors, the person personally chosen by the emperor possesses the ability to communicate with the emperor anytime, anywhere.

So shouldn't we take good care of them?
Of course, this doesn't count as currying favor or currying favor with the powerful. We simply want to protect this chosen one from being misled by Chaos.
