Soshyan was a little surprised by the other party's words, but he knew who Tula was, the current leader of the Forbidden Army.
"Huh? I don't quite understand what you said."
"In the past ten thousand years, the empire has stagnated in many aspects, but it has reached an expert level in the application of violence. But what is terrible is that more and more things can no longer be solved through unrestricted force. To solve the problem, the biggest enemy and strongest weapon of an expedition is never violence. It is important that you have a way of thinking about solving problems other than violence."
After saying these seemingly pointed words, Valerian nodded to Velez.
"Welcome back to Terra, Grand Sister Velez."
Then came Faisal.
"And Special Envoy Faisal, I won't disturb your rest of the journey, but we will talk again at a more appropriate place."
Valyrian looked at Soshyan and put his helmet back on.
"goodbye."
After that, the Imperial Guards turned and left.
After they left, Soshyan laughed dumbly and looked at Feisal.
"The Forbidden Army is really a bit unexpected. It seems that I have become a bit stereotyped about these palace guards."
The other person shrugged.
"Lord Valyrian is actually quite special. He... He has always been known for his gentleness. Although only compared to the Imperial Army, he is also a company commander who appears in public more often."
"Having said that, I am actually looking forward to meeting Marshal Trajan."
"It depends on which adult makes the decision."
Afterwards, with the help of the guidance ship, the fleet passed through the void checkpoints and flew towards the desolate Pluto. During this process, Soshyan sat in a relatively casual chair and chatted with Velez about Terra. And the story of the Imperial Army, because the Ebony Holy Grail Cathedral, the headquarters of the Ebony Holy Grail Order, is located in Terra, so Velez knows relatively much about the Imperial Army.
"Trajan Valoris is the seventeenth and current commander of the Forbidden Army. He is also a member of the High Lords, but he rarely appears at meetings of the High Lords. There is another rumor about the Forbidden Army, that is, the Both the fifteenth commander Galahot and the sixteenth commander Andros Lonsdre were in office for a very short time, and the time and cause of death are somewhat strange, which may be related to the internal power struggle of the Forbidden Army. However, there are also rumors The fifteenth commander Galahot did not die but was sacrificed.”
"It is said that the imperial army did not leave the palace most of the time because of the existence of the restraining order. There are rumors that Marshal Trajan has been trying to break this prohibition, but so far there has been no actual action."
".It is rumored that the size of the Forbidden Army may have returned to the Ten Thousand Husbands during the Great Crusade, but there is no actual evidence."
Soshyan suddenly chuckled.
"The Forbidden Army is really mysterious. Are all the rumors that the National Religion and the Forbidden Army have something to do with each other?"
Velez nodded slightly.
"After the Apostasy, it was Exesso, the then commander of the Imperial Guards, who persuaded Saint Sebastian Thor to become the new pope of the state religion. The Imperial Guards can still be seen on the murals of the cathedral. Painting of the Lord conferring scepters and crowns on saints.”
At this time, the broadcast on the bridge sounded.
".Approaching Pluto and Charon."
Soshyan stood up from his chair, walked a few steps accompanied by Velez, and stared at the dead Pluto and its twin satellite Charon. They were like two pearls, one large and one small, connected by invisible threads. Together, hanging in the void, but if you look carefully, you will find that there are many huge impact craters and spreading terrifying cracks on the surface of Charon's planet. The shipping routes extending in all directions make the surrounding space crowded with various ships, tugboats and void outposts. It was so full that you could even see many small anti-smuggling boats belonging to the Ministry of Justice speeding through the traffic. (I’m going to complain here. You don’t know if you don’t know. When I look at gw’s settings about the solar system, I can see that there are a lot of mistakes and some of them are quite outrageous. This is understandable in astronomy in the 1980s and 1990s, but in the 21st century , the settings have been updated so many times, and I have read so many books, I am not willing to update the solar system settings. First of all, Pluto was determined not to be a planet in 2006, but a dwarf planet, and it is not the largest dwarf planet. Eris is even bigger than it. Could it be that people at GW basically don’t pay attention to any astronomical news and information?)
As a dwarf planet at the edge of the solar system, Pluto not only has a relatively small mass, but also has a very low temperature. The same is true for Charon. Strictly speaking, this satellite is even considered a dwarf planet. Its volume is more than half of Pluto. , due to their harsh environment, the two dwarf planets are not suitable for direct human habitation, but even so they still have populated underground cities.
In addition, Pluto originally had four other smaller moons, which were not much larger than the large starships of the Imperial Navy. They had a limited population and were mostly used for military defense facilities.
But now, Soshyan could only see two satellites, so he subconsciously asked:
"Pluto seems to be missing two moons?"
".During the Horus Heresy, Pluto and its moons became the main direction of attack of the Alpha Legion. The first large-scale battle of the Throne Guard War also broke out here. Later, in the final stage of the war, Pluto became the battlefield again, and the Empire The greatest champion in the history of the Fist, Sigismund, the first Grand Marshal of the Black Templars, resisted the rebels' large-scale attack here. During the battle, Cerberus was set up by Sigismund. The trap was completely destroyed and destroyed a large number of traitors and hundreds of battleships, but it also destroyed Hydra and caused huge irreversible damage to Charon, Pluto and its remnants. The satellite was later taken back by the Empire during the Great Purge. You see, there is a memorial built on a huge rock fragment to commemorate the Battle of Cerberus. That rock is also the largest remaining fragment of Charon. The Black Saint Every once in a while, the church would send new recruits to this memorial hall to commemorate their great first leader.”
This time, Velez acted as Soshyan's "history teacher." Listening to the origin of Pluto's two missing satellites, Soshyan nodded slightly and stared at the one built on huge rock fragments that Velec pointed to. Memorial Hall.
It floats next to the fragments of Charon, far away from the waterway, and is fixed in the void with a gravitational device. The shape of the memorial hall above is very unique, in the shape of a cross with a wide upper part and a narrow lower part, like a sharp sword inserted in the rock.
But there doesn't seem to be any ships heading there.
"Isn't it usually open?"
"Yes, because it contains top-secret historical data and information, the Cerberus Memorial Hall is a special-level memorial hall. Only specific groups of people or those with special approval are allowed to visit."
Soshyan looked at Velez and smiled:
"Then I wonder if it would be convenient for us to go take a look?"
Velez responded with a warm smile.
"Of course convenient, our Imperial hero."
