After hearing the history of the Fire Claws Chapter, Bahram immediately asked:
"Then why did they come here?"
"The inquisitor who had been following them and monitoring them left because of other tasks, so they broke away from supervision. In addition, they had just fought two tough battles, suffered a lot of equipment losses, and the ships were also damaged, so they went to Huangquan No. 8 in the hope of getting supplies. After all, They had helped this forge world, but due to the existence of the Judgment Order of the Atonement Expedition, the forge world could not directly provide them with any support. They could only secretly repair the ships for them and gave them some equipment that was not in the warehouse register. Considering that the next six They can decide the direction of action for ten years, and Huang Quan No. 8 suggested that they come to the Scar of Victory for help."
Bahram nodded in realization.
"It turns out that it was Huang Quan No. 8 who introduced me."
Then he looked at Arash.
"Captain Arash, then I guess they must not just want to ask for help."
"Yes, they want to join the Suffering Alliance."
Bahram crossed his arms and fell into silence, his expression becoming complicated, while Arash sighed softly.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Captain Bahram. I haven't been the Chapter Commander for too long. I have no experience in many things, let alone dealing with such complex diplomatic affairs. To be honest, I also admit that if they and the Inquisition If the entanglement is brought into the alliance, it will indeed be a big trouble. And you may not know that there are at least five judges active in the Scar of Victory most of the time. This is still obvious. If Counting various spies and undercover agents, I guess there are at least thirty pairs of eyes of the Inquisition staring at this place."
Arash said this, and Bahram suddenly showed an unexpected expression. He had always thought that the Suffering Alliance was a fairly independent organization.
"Why don't you stop them?"
Arash sighed.
"In what name? The Suffering Alliance has accepted the supervision of the empire since its establishment, and different alliance leaders have different strategies during their management. Not everyone is so repulsive to the Tribunal, and the Tribunal does have first-hand knowledge. intelligence data, whether it is fighting or executing missions, each war group needs their intelligence, and the different factions of the Tribunal will also check and balance each other. I felt it when I took over the position of alliance leader. I spent a whole month on In order to receive representatives from various factions of the Inquisition, they competed fiercely for influence over the Alliance of Suffering. After all, in the eyes of the Inquisition, the Astartes may not only be a sharp sword against the enemies of the Emperor, but also a weapon for destroying political opponents. Sharp Sword, if it were not four battle groups that threatened the Fire Claws Chapter but one Chapter, the situation might not be like that."
Bahram shook his head helplessly.
"The judges don't think about how to destroy the enemy, but focus on how to cut off the dissenters. It's really sad."
In fact, it's not that Arash and Bahram are very familiar with each other. In fact, the number of times they meet is very limited. It's simply because Bahram is the only "own person" or company level he can discuss with now. Cadres, coupled with their status as astral knights, themselves are relatively influential in the alliance.
"The Chapter Master often praised you for your sharp wit, decisiveness and ability. I just want to hear your opinion."
After hearing what Arash said, Bahram put down his arms and said humbly:
"Thank you, thank you. I have only been the company commander for a short time. You are the senior leader of the Arash Chapter. I am here hoping to learn from you and ask for advice."
After speaking, he pointed to the court's verdict document with his finger.
"Now we must first determine whether the Fire Claws, or the Relic Chapter, are still in contact with those radical inquisitors."
Arash shook his head.
"It's too difficult to determine, at least it doesn't seem to be the case at the moment, but...no one can guarantee that they won't get involved with other radical inquisitors again."
"So, they may also have a relapse."
"Yes, Captain Magyar may also have this concern. He is firmly opposed to the Relic Chapter joining the Suffering Alliance. Captain Bahram, you may not understand the rules of the alliance. If a new member wants to join, he needs all the All members of the alliance must pass unanimously, but most members will not stay in the Scar of Victory forever, so a series of supplementary rules were formulated later, one of which is the observer system. A new member can become an observer of the alliance before joining the alliance. , observers can use the facilities of the Trace of Victory, including the Recruit Transformation Area, and can also receive supplementary repairs from part of the armory and port area. If the observer is attacked by an alien or heretical force, nearby members of the Suffering Alliance will launch a rescue, but the initiative The War Alliance will not intervene, nor will the Investigation Alliance that is subject to internal law enforcement forces within the empire. Of course, observers do not need to accept the obligations of formal members, but they have the responsibility to assist neighboring alliance members in combat, and the qualifications of an observer only require two As long as the alliance members agree.”
After hearing this, Bahram immediately grasped the key points.
"And the members of the alliance that can be found in the Scar of Victory now are you, the leader of the Arash chapter, and the leader of the Magyar chapter in Bosule."
"Um."
Bahram thought for a moment, and then asked softly:
"Captain Arash, what do you personally think?"
"Well, although the Relic Chapter did do extreme things before, they were not labeled as rebellious. They are still a loyal war group now, and they did encounter some troubles. Although Huang Quan No. 8 gave them some Supplementary, it is just out of past affection, there will never be a second time. Before they left, they also brought some candidates with excellent physical fitness from their home planet, just to prepare for the inability to replenish the troops for the subsequent expedition, and to transform in the middle. After a batch of candidates were selected, the success rate was very low because the ship facilities were too crude, and a lot of lives were wasted. The Artkus Chapter Commander decided to let the remaining candidates reproduce with women with good health and genes. Now this batch of second-generation candidates People are approaching the age limit for transformation surgery. If they can't find a suitable place for transformation and get some material help, the candidates may be wasted. In addition, their equipment lacks maintenance. What Huang Quan No. 8 mainly gives is Weapons, ammunition, power armor and Terminator components were not provided with a single screw. Many of their protective gears needed spare parts. One of the purposes of the Suffering Alliance was to help the Astartes brothers in trouble. If it was so simple to reject the Relic Chapter, , I am worried that it will cause some remarks that are not conducive to the alliance."
In fact, there is another thing he didn't say, which is that no matter how good the reputation of the Relic Chapter is, it can't be as bad as the Flesh Tearers in the Alliance, and the Suffering Alliance has even accepted a notorious Chapter like the Flesh Tearers. There is no reason. Relic Chapters Not Accepted
