Chapter 3 We United
Upon learning that Sivir was indeed the Emperor's son, Laurent excitedly professed his loyalty to him, and then invited him to go to the Fire Barrier Warband to instruct the Space Marines, which would greatly boost their morale.
Sivir did not refuse, and instructed Icarloi a few things, after which he followed Laurent onto the transport.
Upon arriving on the battle barge, Laurent immediately summoned the nearly 200 Space Marines on board and announced to them the exciting news that he had found the Emperor's Son.
He also said that the emperor's son was waiting for everyone at the training ground, hoping to have a "friendly exchange" with everyone.
As many Space Marines flocked to the training grounds, Laurent summoned the first and tenth company commanders of the warband, the warband's think tank, and the warband's priest to the church to discuss the matter.
The Fire Barrier Warband had originally come to recruit troops on the planet Orunki, so they only brought the first and tenth companies of the warband, and the rest of the company commanders and Astarte warriors stayed at the warband's fleet base.
"I think Lord Sivir is more suitable to lead the empire than the Council of High Lords, and when I'm done with that, who is in favor of it? Who is against? ”
Laurent said as he stared at the four warband backbones in front of him.
Everyone looked at each other, and a long time Nagan took the lead in expressing his approval.
"I'm okay with that."
Seeing that someone took the lead, the rest of the people also became bolder.
They all said that they wanted to elect Lord Sivir as the regent of the empire, and Lord Sivir was expected to be.
Looking at the crowd in high spirits, Laurent waved her hand, signaling everyone to calm down, and then narrated her plan.
Laurent's plan is also simple, that is, with the name of the emperor's son, he will privately win over multiple warbands, and then rely on the power of multiple warbands to break into Terra together, control the Council of High Lords, and do the thing of abolition.
This plan does not require the help of the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Astral Army, and only the Astarte warriors participate, which can ensure the maximum secrecy of the plan, and it is difficult for the Imperial Legal Department and the Inquisition to know in advance.
Laurent was very wary of the High Lords' Council, knowing that too many loyal warriors had been subjected to unfounded accusations and forced to go on an atonement expedition under the orders of the High Lords, and that some loyal warbands had been forced into rebellion at the unreasonable demands of the High Lords.
This is why Laurent does not directly inform Terra about the Emperor's Son, instead of choosing to do something as daring as if he were betraying the Empire.
Laurent believed that since the corrupt High Lords were able to send the unwitting Imperial Fists to the Orcs' march route for the sake of their own so-called rights during the Beast War, and continue their sordid political struggle at the most critical moment when the Imperial Fists were at their most critical, they would not send the slightest reinforcement and sit back and watch the entire Imperial Fists warband be destroyed.
It is then possible for the High Lords to refuse to believe that an Emperor's Son has been found in order to maintain their rule, and to characterize the warbands that reported the news as traitors, and then notify the Imperial Navy and some warbands under their control to come and eliminate the traitors, and erase all relevant information.
Laurent could not allow such a thing to happen, and instead of praying that the high lords would abdicate and make way for the virtuous, she should rely on the blaster in her hand to force them to prostrate themselves and swear allegiance to Lord Sivir.
After agreeing with some of the higher-ups in the warband, Laurent immediately went to the training ground, wanting to tell Lord Sivir about his plan.
On the way to the training ground, Laurent's heart was not as calm as he appeared, he was full of anticipation, but there was also a trace of worry and fear, not worry and fear of raiding Terra, the space soldiers are never afraid of battle, this worry and fear is related to Sivir.
What if this plan is not approved by Lord Sivir, what if Lord Sivir thinks that I am disloyal to the Empire and thinks that I am a traitor, will Lord Sivir be the same as Vulcan Vulcan, the original Lord of the Fire Dragon, who thinks that mortal affairs should be solved by mortals themselves, and does not agree to overthrow the power of the High Lord.
With all kinds of worries, Laurent came to the training ground.
"Sivir!"
"Sivir!"
Enthusiastic cries filled the entire field, and in the center of the training ground, Sivir was alone under the siege of a dozen Astarte warriors who were not wearing power armor, and dozens of Astartes were lying around him.
Although the warriors of these Fire Barrier warbands cooperated very well, using their numerical superiority to attack Sivir from multiple directions, Sivir tossed and turned, and none of the Space Marines could touch his body.
Sivir's combat skills are so superb that one star soldier after another is knocked down, and he is about to be defeated by Sivir alone.
Seeing this, Laurent, who was at the gate of the training ground, was replaced by surprise in his heart, although he knew that the Emperor's Son was not an extraordinary human being, and his strength must be extraordinary, but he did not expect Sivir to be able to knock down so many Space Marines without being harmed.
Sivir relied on his own strength to conquer the proud warriors of these Fire Barrier warbands, and each of them was impressed by the power of the Emperor's Son.
From the bottom of their hearts, they want to stand by the Emperor's side, hoping to join him in the galaxy.
...
When Sivir defeated the Space Marines and bathed and changed, he saw Laurent standing at the door of the room waiting for him.
Laurent seemed to be still thinking about the shocking scuffle just now.
"Laurent." Sivir reminded Laurent to come to her senses.
"The members of the Fire Barrier are elite warriors, and the Emperor will be proud of you." Sivir praised.
Laurent smiled wryly and shook her head.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Sivir."
Dozens of fighters can't take a single person, can this also be called elite? Although he was an opponent with the emperor's son, he didn't even cause the slightest damage, which made Laurent, the war leader, feel a little disgraced.
"Laurent, the warriors of the Fire Barrier are very capable of hand-to-hand combat, and they cooperate very well, in fact, I used some of my psionic energy in practice, otherwise I would definitely be knocked down by those brave warriors." Sivir comforted again.
"Perhaps." Laurent didn't want to dwell on the subject any longer, he had more important matters to discuss with Lord Sivir.
"Lord Sivir, I think that although the current empire is calm on the surface, in fact, there are undercurrents surging, crises are everywhere, the High Lords' Council does not have the ability to lead the human empire, the empire needs a strong leader, I hope you can stand up and take on the responsibility and lead the empire back to glory."
After Laurent finished speaking, seeing that Sivir did not object, she continued,
"I hope to unite several Space Marine warbands around me,......"
After Laurent finished her plan, she looked at Sivir expectantly.
Siwell's eyes were full of approval, and he patted Laurent on the shoulder to express satisfaction.
"Laurent, it's not easy for you to have such insight as a war leader, I very much agree with your description of the current state of the empire, and I also know something about the corruption of the High Lords, so I agree with your plan."
When Laurent heard this, her heart was surging and she was very excited. I can't wait to lead the fleet to Terra and drag the High Lords out of the palace of Terra.
"I assure you, Laurent, that I will lead the Space Marines to victory after victory, recovering the territories lost by the Empire, eliminating the traitors who have betrayed the Empire, and the Empire will surely return to glory in my hands!"
Looking at the delighted Laurent in front of him, Sivir made his vow to her.
This oath is not only a guarantee to Laurent, but also a requirement of Sivir to himself.
The title of the emperor's son represents not only status, but also heavy responsibilities and obligations. Since Sivir bears the title of son of the emperor, he is responsible for the hundreds of millions of people of the empire, and bears the fate of the entire empire, to solve the various crises faced by those empires, and to eliminate all enemies that harm the empire.
Feeling Sivel's unwavering determination, Laurent also solemnly expressed her loyalty.
"Then I also assure you, Lord Sivir, that the Fire Barrier Warband will be your shield and your sword, and we will be your best weapon, ensuring that your will can be carried out to any corner of the Empire!"
