The Court of Silence fell into chaos.

Many high-level astropaths who were traveling in dreams with Brava all screamed.

They were in great pain.

This caused the servants who served them to become extremely panicked.

Blava was helped up by someone, his body was limp and he almost couldn't stand.

But he still urged his servants to go and find the imperial regent.

The empire will once again face the test of a major crisis.

Unprecedented darkness is approaching Vigilant Star.

If the great plunderer's plan succeeds, the fate of the human empire will become even more difficult.

For unknown reasons, the Great Rift was blocked in the void near the Vigilant Star.

This is good news.

This means that the Imperial Sanctuary can go to the Dark Side of the Empire through the Alert Star.

If it were destroyed by Chaos traitors, the consequences would be disastrous.

Several servants hurried out to convey Brava's request to the Imperial Regent and the Imperial Prime Minister.

Brava asked the remaining servants to help him put on his clothes and asked them to take care of the other astropaths.

This time when he was traveling in the dreamland, he was almost discovered by the Tzeentch demon.

Although the clown elf pushed him away and saved him, he also suffered a lot of trauma.

These astropaths helped him resist the damage, so it was naturally extremely painful.

But now, Brava knew that this was not the time to think about this.

The most important thing was to report everything he saw to the Imperial Regent.

The war between humans and Chaos will begin on Vigilance.

What’s even more terrifying is that this time it’s not just Chaos and the Empire that are involved, but also the Empire’s many alien enemies.

As one might expect, the threat of this war cannot be underestimated.

It is very likely that the fate of the dark side of the empire will be determined.

Cadia fell and the Eye of Terror expanded, tearing the galaxy apart, forming the Great Rift.

Terra lost contact with the other half of her territory.

Not even the Astronomican could penetrate the terrible dark rift.

At present, there is very little information about the dark side of the Empire.

This can be learned from some fragmentary news.

The situation over there is a thousand times, ten thousand times worse than here.

Demons are roaming around, mutations are rampant, and many human planets have sent out desperate calls for help in the subspace, but no one has responded.

The Empire must act quickly to hold the Sentinel Planet and send reinforcements to the Empire's Dark Side.

Otherwise, an extremely dark fate will await those poor planets.

"I hope it's not too late." Brava said tremblingly.

... ... ... ... ... ..

Terra.

The lower hive.

The news from Vigilance Star does not affect the people here.

They were still going about their lives, unaware of the terrible crisis that was about to come.

Kunbis walked past the smiling passers-by and returned to his residence.

Standing in front of his door, he felt relieved.

“You shouldn’t do that.”

When he opened the door, a voice came from the bedroom.

Kunbis reacted as quickly as a hunting beast.

He grabbed the dagger in his hand and pointed it towards the area of the sound, while his other hand held a small pulse pistol.

The other person sat on the only iron chair in his bedroom, his face remained calm, and he was not moved at all by the gun pointed at him.

Seeing the other person's look, Kunbis frowned slightly.

The man in front of him was none other than the high-ranking law enforcement officer, Qilodav, who had given him his business card.

"His reaction speed is quite good. He is born to be an assassin." Qilodafu said calmly.

"What are you doing here?" Quinbis was alert, his finger on the trigger of his pulse pistol.

"Don't you know clearly? There are dozens of people in the Escher family, and not a single one was left alive. After committing such a thing, don't you know why I came here?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Kunbis's expression became solemn, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"No need to be hostile to me."

Zilodav stood up and walked straight towards Kumbis.

"Don't come over here." Kunbis yelled, his muscles tensed, ready to attack.

"There is solid evidence that you assassinated the Escher family." Zilodav stood where he was and did not approach Kunbis to avoid provoking him.

Kunbis's expression turned ugly. "So you are here to arrest me?"

"In a sense, yes. Imperial laws cannot be violated, and any crime must be punished." Zilodav said, "No matter what the reason, assassinating an imperial official is a shameful betrayal."

The other party's words made Kunbisi angry. "They are just a cancer. I didn't betray them. I just corrected this mistake. Let the glory of the Regent remain pure. You didn't fulfill your mission, so I fulfilled it in my own way. You can sentence me for my crime, but I will not admit betrayal."

"You are high up there, the messenger of the Holy Primarch, but why don't you step out of that luxurious law enforcement department and go to the dark corners, where you can see the truth."

"You can report it to us," Zilodav said. "The Escher family is guilty, but using lynch law is absolutely not allowed."

"I did it, and you didn't respond." Kunbis took out the business card that Zilodav gave him and threw it out.

He once tried to report it, but it was like a stone cow falling into the sea.

"I have a lot of things to do, and I can't listen to every voice." Zilodafu shrugged, "But your lynching has seriously touched the bottom line of the empire, so you must pay the price for it."

"Are you going to sentence me to death?" Qunbis said, "I don't care. I have accomplished my mission and my life is complete."

"No, you will wear black and perform an unknown and arduous mission. There will be no more glory, no more rewards, and no one will know your name and contribution until the day you die," said Zilodav.

"You won't kill me?" said Quimbis.

"Killing you doesn't make much sense. We have been keeping an eye on the Escher family. We know that this family has many small tricks to pretend to obey but actually disobey, but the empire is so short of people. As you know, the imperial regent killed too many officials who tried to stop him, leaving a big loophole in Terra's bureaucratic system. We have to use these more obedient guys to help us keep Terra running."

"This is an unavoidable compromise. We cannot allow Terra to fall into chaos. You killed them, which is a good thing in a sense, but also a bad thing in a sense. The majesty of the imperial law cannot be challenged, which means you must pay a price, otherwise everyone will do things according to their own ideas, and the situation will get out of control."

"What do you want me to do?" Kunbis looked at Zilodav.

"The empire needs everyone who can sacrifice for it. The regent's reforms are not going smoothly. There are many groups like the Escher family, and they have formed groups with interconnected interests. These groups are not powerful, but their number is too large to count, and they are easy to revive. If you eliminate one today, there will be ten tomorrow."

"It's easy to clean up a corrupt senior official, but it's hard to deal with these flies that never stop growing. For this reason, the Prime Minister prepared another plan. She needs a group of people to hide their identities and lurk in various parts of the empire to collect intelligence, so that the Primarch can grasp the every move of each planet and let those with evil intentions know that Terra is always watching them."

Zilodav looked at Kumbis and asked, "Are you willing to give everything for the Primarch? Your wealth, status, even your soul and life, to help him accomplish a great cause. Even if no one remembers it in your lifetime, you will never regret it."

When Quinbis heard this, he felt his blood boiling, he never thought that one day he would actually be able to serve the Primarch.

He said without hesitation, "I do."

Zilodav smiled with satisfaction and took out a set of black clothes like a magician.

"Then you need to come with me. This organization is absolutely secretive. For this, we need to make a special backup plan. Kunbis, you still have a chance to regret. Are you really willing to give everything for the Primarch?"

"Yes, my lord. I will give everything for the Primarch, even my life and soul."

"Very well, Quimbis, put on this suit and follow me."

Senao Data Architecture Center.

No one knows that inside the building, there is a mysterious area that is not open to the public.

The Imperial Prime Minister, Penny, personally signed the authorization bill, and no department, including the Assassin's Court and the Inquisition, was allowed to interfere in the affairs of that area.

Kunbis was brought to that mysterious area by Zilodav.

Everyone here is wearing black robes, no one knows their identities, everything is shrouded in black robes.

Kunbis was brought into a bright room made of silver-white metal.

There is a machine inside that looks like a scanner.

"This is a thought stamping machine, but it is more advanced than the ones used by the military. In addition to having a divine brain to support calculations, it also incorporates psychic technology. It not only inputs loyal thoughts into a person's mind, but also leaves a mark in the soul. In other words, this is a thought stamping machine that acts on both the body and the soul."

"Once you accept the brand of this machine, you will faithfully fulfill your mission even after you are thrown into chaos. In other words, once you accept the mission of the Man in Black, you will never regret it."

Zilodav gave a brief introduction, which gave Kunbis a clearer understanding of his future destiny.

Dressed in black, Kunbis walked to the front of the machine as instructed.

A helmet-like scanner dropped down and he put it on his head.

The sound generator next to it made a sound.

Are you sure you want to accept the Seal of Thought? Dedicate your soul and life to the great cause of the Imperial Regent Guilliman until the moment of your death.

Kumbis recalled his tragic and suffering life.

He lives in a hell.

These sufferings should be completely ended in his generation.

Under the leadership of the Regent, mankind should move towards a better future.

"Yes, I am willing to accept the seal of thought, and I am willing to be forever loyal to the Imperial Regent - Guilliman." said Quinbis.

The command has been confirmed.

Scanning in progress.

Soul particle scan completed, neuron scan completed.

The stamp of thought is being implanted.
