The Astartes Family's Notebook

Because of this incident, Katz doesn't think he did anything wrong.

Coincidentally, after carefully examining the combat logs and conducting on-site reconnaissance, Goff Seschel also felt that if he hadn't taken bribes, he should at least give Captain Katz a few words of praise.

That was a beautifully done job.

With only tens of thousands of mortal auxiliary troops and a few dozen Astartes, the Eighth Company of the Wastewing wiped out an entire planet. This is what professionalism is all about.

But Lord Kaz, I'm sorry, I accepted bribes.

If you want to find fault, right and wrong can't just be turned upside down, it's too easy.

Your mortal auxiliary supplies do not need to be cleaned up. What's the deal with the governor on your ship who isn't working on his own planet? Where did the only survivor on the planet come from? Since it concerns the corruption of chaos, shouldn't all the Astartes in your company who participated in the battle undergo memory cleansing?

There are already so many high-sounding reasons. Lord Kaz, you should think about how to respond first. I'll find fault with you later after you've dealt with these matters.

The difference between "handling official business in an official manner" and "handling official business in an official manner" can sometimes be enormous.

So far, Goff Seschel has not revealed his true colors in his contacts with Katz, but has simply raised questions in a fairly straightforward and objective manner.

Even so, Katz was already starting to lose his temper.

Question: If the Empire wants to eradicate cultists on a planet, how many Astral Army units would it need to prepare?

The answer is two.

One unit was used to eliminate cult members, and another unit was used to eliminate the previous combat force responsible for eliminating cult members.

Chaos is a formidable enemy, one that requires our utmost efforts to defend against and protect.

It is through these almost ruthless means that the human empire has survived for thousands of years without the protection of the emperor.

Kaz no longer wanted to question the legitimacy of this behavior.

Because the Astral Army has a force of millions, the Department of Military Affairs is unable to determine whether any combat personnel have been corrupted by Chaos during the war.

When there is no other option but to sacrifice the minority for the majority, the person who gave the order should only be tried by a military court, not burned at the stake for morality.

The problem is that Kaz's auxiliary army, which numbers less than 40,000, is so small that with careful isolation, observation, and screening, it's possible to identify whether there are any traces of chaotic corruption.

Given the circumstances, why did you immediately start shouting for violence and killing in the trial? What's the meaning of that?

There is precedent for this.

The exact year was not found by Kaz, but one of the astral legions of the Katachon jungle warriors also encountered a similar predicament after purging planets corrupted by the Nurgle plague.

Later, the judges, together with Astartes, pressured the Ministry of Military Affairs to change the on-the-spot execution to isolation and observation.

These veterans from Catachan spent two and a half years on a hospital ship urgently dispatched from the sector. The calluses on these burly men were worn away, and they were only released after their skin had become smooth and delicate.

As long as resources are invested, eliminating potential threats is not limited to killing or annihilating people.

Kaz had already made it clear that he would protect his player, so Goff Seschel couldn't continue to press the matter.

Anyway, there are plenty of excuses and leverage, so changing one won't hurt.

As for the child who miraculously survived...

To be honest, Kaz was actually inclined to send him back to the Golden Throne.

The child's eyes no longer held the gaze of a normal human being; Kars sensed no other emotion besides hatred.

It's quite a strange thing that, logically speaking, people who hate everything naturally have a destructive tendency.

But the child's destructive impulse wasn't strong; it was just hatred.

It implies that he has high aspirations but low abilities.

Katz disliked the child, just as Lord Arahut disliked himself.

However, this background is exactly what the orthodox Astartes would like.

The Obi-Wan brothers stepped in as guarantors, wanting to put the child through a trial of new blood.

Only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things. Since Lord Arahut has not done anything to him, Katz will naturally not do anything based on personal likes or dislikes.

Astartes' personality shaping and cognitive correction are ancestral skills. Since the company's chaplain wants to give it a try, let's give it a try.

The mine owner, the mine owner is a planetary governor backed by the Cult of Mechanics. Eight can testify that it was the oil enthusiast who was "upgrading and transforming" his mining world. The Cult of Mechanics covered the tithe issue. What do you mean by neglecting one's duties and being irresponsible? If you're so capable, go and verify it in the Voss Forging World.

One by one, Katz made no compromises, and Judge Goff Seschel was not annoyed.

The judge is waiting for reinforcements, and so is Katz; everyone's just putting on an act, so why take it seriously?

This time, however, luck wasn't on Katz's side.

Goff Seschel's helpers arrived first.

After the Redemption Angels Chapter sent two full-strength Astartes to surround them, Kaz realized that this matter was unlikely to end well.

Chapter 415 It's Time

"Hey buddy, what kind of grand aspirations do you think deserve to be called universal love?"

"I hope the government can include foot massage expenses in medical insurance."

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

We shouldn't be biased; everyone should be allowed to have a sugar daddy, so why always fixate on the rebellious son?

If the Sons of Guilliman is a classic rebellious band in the Ultramarines lineage, then the Angels of Redemption is also a well-known group of spirited young men in the Dark Angels lineage.

Kars didn't get the information about this warband from hearsay; it was based on official records from the organization.

Guilliman's son simply felt that the Ultramarines' interpretation of the Astartes Codex was not deep enough or professional enough; no organization in the entire Empire understood their Primarch, Robert Guilliman, better than them.

No one understands the Astartes better than we, the sons of Guilliman!

Aside from that, the Sons of Guilliman is actually just an ordinary scripture company, nothing special.

But the angels of salvation are different.

This sub-group, which was personally split up by Leon El Johnson during the second period of the army's formation, clearly showed its dissatisfaction with the Dark Angels parent group.

Brother, your sword isn't fast enough, your fists aren't fierce enough, and you still think you can capture a fallen angel?

Or perhaps we could let our leader of the Redemption Angels take the position of the great mentor.

As is well known, the First Legion is divided but not split.

Aside from Astartes of the Dark Angels lineage, who thought he was doing a great job of disguising himself and that everyone else was very much in the know, everyone else in the other factions knew exactly what was going on.

I can't even be bothered to talk about these weirdos.

Ah, right, right, the First Legion has no secrets.

Brothers, it's the M41 era already, and you guys still have no secrets in the First Legion? We other branches don't care, as long as you've dealt with Holy Terra, why do you keep nagging about this disgusting brother?

However, the Redemption Angels chapter is not quite the same as the typical Dark Angels sub-chapters.

With seniority, prestige, and significant achievements, he exudes an aura of invincibility beneath his original form.

Chapters like the Black Knights are essentially Dark Angels in disguise. The chapter leader and company commander can be directly appointed by the Dark Angels parent organization, and no one objects. The personnel movement between the parent organization and the parent organization is quite smooth.

But the angels of salvation don't buy into that.

We welcome the Dark Angels to send people to our side.

However, it is unacceptable for your Dark Angels' Grand Mentors to interfere in the internal affairs of our Redemption Angels Chapter.

Your Dark Angels' stuff belongs to my Redemption Angels. Everything my Redemption Angels owns belongs to our own sanctuary. Don't try to make a big deal out of nothing. How many fallen angels have we Redemption Angels captured? You trash from the Dark Angels, speak up!

In our opinion, the leader of this massive stone fortress should be our Redemption Angels' warband leader!

If the Dark Angels Chapter focused its main efforts on capturing fallen angels, then the Redemption Angels focused all their efforts on capturing fallen angels.

The Dark Angels' bad reputation is two-thirds of the fault of the Redemption Angels.

Beware of the angels of salvation!

After all, this chapter is the loyal Astartes Chapter, which even the founding chapters Imperial Fist and Salamanders dislike.

Betraying allies, infiltrating, fleeing and running away, doing unethical things under the guise of Dark Angels—the Redemption Angels Chapter has done all of these things, and they were all found out afterward.

Aside from the newly formed, uninformed factions, anyone who's been in the Astartes for five hundred years knows what the Redemption Angels are all about.

When you put the angel of salvation and the angel of darkness together, even the angel of darkness seems more handsome.

Ironically, the Angel of Redemption achieved remarkable results in capturing fallen angels, which led to the Angel of Redemption speaking particularly loudly at the inner circle meeting.

Naberius, the current Supreme Mentor of the Dark Angels and the nominal Chapter Master, has become increasingly eccentric in his actions. It's hard to say whether he was angered by the Redemption Angels and their ilk at the Supreme Inner Ring Council.

It's quite normal for chapters like the Oathkeepers, which have specific missions, to be relatively independent within the Dark Angels' sub-chapters.

However, the Angels of Redemption are highly involved in the affairs of the main chapter, yet they deliberately emphasize the independence of the chapter, which is quite disgusting to the orthodox main chapter at Rockhold.

If you, the Dark Angels, want to send people over, we'll accept. If you want to check loyalty and purity, we have no problem with that either. But what's given to me is mine. I, the Angel of Redemption, can recommend my chapter brothers to study at the Stone Fortress. You, Naberius, stop being so arrogant and bossy. Let's see who's the hero and who's the good guy by comparing the number of fallen angels we've captured.

Although Kaz was unaware of these inside details, the Redemption Angels chapter enjoyed a reputation on par with the Steel Hand within the Desolation Wings.

The order of the rankings is not significant.

In fact, the Dark Angels were outmatched by the Redemption Angels in capturing Fallen Angels, and the root cause was that the Dark Angels, as the parent group, had too much baggage in their initial formation.

The Legion's honor must not be tarnished; all details and clues must be erased.

Therefore, the Dark Angels will make meticulous plans from intelligence analysis to planning the capture operation and the final execution.

While others may be obsessed, their obsession with darkness is quite organized.

In missions unrelated to fallen angels, the dark angel truly deserves the title of Astartes' elder brother.

However, all the actions of the redeeming angels are aimed at capturing the fallen angels.

For this purpose, nothing else matters.

Therefore, although the Angel of Redemption has a terrible reputation within the Astartes, it is quite respected by the Astartes within circles including the Inquisitors and other powerful departments of the Empire.

The judge was able to summon the Angel of Redemption because Goff had provided the Angel with relevant information.

Huh?

Doesn't this pose a risk of secrets being leaked?

Hey, let me ask you, have you caught the fallen angel yet?

However, after learning the situation, the Angels of Redemption were immediately discouraged.

What's going on? Oh, it's an extermination order.

Goff, aren't you an inquisitor of the Astartes? The post-incident review of the extermination order should be the responsibility of the inquisitors of the Purification Order.

Oh dear, it's just a coincidence that we ran into each other. As for the judge's affairs, why make such a clear distinction?

So tell us clearly what exactly happened with that Company Commander Katz.

Nothing much happened, it was just a normal procedure, and they were sent back to Sidrafur for investigation.

Is this the normal procedure?

The process is proceeding normally.

Okay.

Goff Seschel was indeed very honest and did not lie about the matter of Kaz. He said that he had only taken that much money and had no grudge against the Desolation Wings Chapter.

Although he had seen plenty of incompetent judges, what did that have to do with him? As long as he safely delivered the person to Hydraf, what did it matter to Goff Seschel how the locals dealt with Kaz?

Although the Angel of Redemption is a very abstract concept within the Dark Angels lineage, it ultimately belongs to the Astartes.

When it doesn't involve fallen angels, the natural stance leans towards Astartes.

So after the Angel of Redemption intervened and negotiated with Kaz, Kaz chose to compromise.

Sidraf is on trial...

Wasteland Wings is a must-win for Hydrafar, is this judge serious?

That's how things are sometimes. If you want to open a window, everyone will definitely disagree, but if you propose demolishing the house, most people will compromise and agree to open a window.

If Goff Seschel were to directly ask Katz to go with him, Katz would most likely ignore the Inquisitor completely, thinking, "Who the hell are you?"

However, with the Angel of Redemption acting as a mediator, Kaz realized that going to Hydrafor wasn't such a big deal after all.

After all, it's better than going to war with the angels of salvation directly.

It's not a question of whether we can win or not.
