Chapter 274 Chaos at the Celebration

Under the escort of the Imperial Guards, everyone boarded the ceremonial vehicles that had been prepared long ago.

Guilliman's perfect face smiled at everyone, while Ferrus waved to the people on the side. The huge vehicle under him ensured that the people around could witness the great Primarch as the vehicle slowly moved towards the cathedral of the Ecclesiarchy.

Countless fanatical people of the empire gathered on both sides of the avenue.

The great nobles of Terra in the Empire were also at the front of the crowd.

These nobles, who usually needed others to look up to them, were now also looking at the two Primarchs.

They knew very well what the return of the two Primarchs meant. If they could become familiar with the two Primarchs at this moment, perhaps they could gain more benefits for the family in the changes that were bound to come.

Even if that didn't work, they hoped that their family wouldn't suffer too much, as not everyone had the guts to go against the Primarch like those High Lords.

When Guilliman and Ferrus appeared in front of everyone, thunderous cheers came from both sides.

The priests sang praises to the God-Emperor and announced the return of the Son of God to the people.

The Imperial officials who followed them walked humbly aside and introduced to Guilliman and Ferrus some of the great nobles who were in charge of important affairs on Terra.

Guilliman also kept in mind the names of some of the men he thought would be needed next.

The characters who only existed in legends actually appeared before people.

In the eyes of the people, they didn't know who Gao Yi next to the original body was, and they all cast curious glances at him.

As for the various great nobles, they also learned some things about Gao Yi through their own channels.

Being able to walk with the Primarch and participate in this triumphal celebration also proves its importance.

These people cast curious and friendly glances at Gao Yi.

Gao Yi responded to their smiles one by one.

Some of these nobles will surely be eliminated in Guilliman's upcoming purge.

But more people will compromise and survive.

They may be greedy, but the empire really cannot do without these people for the time being.

Compared to making enemies for no reason, Gao Yi doesn't want anyone to secretly trip him up in the future.

Watching Guilliman and Ferrus accepting the cheers of the people.

Gao Yi just looked at everything around him.

As the center of the empire's state religion, it is undoubtedly solemn and magnificent.

But Gao Yi had no interest in these things at all.

The more gorgeous it is, the more decadent it makes Gao Yi feel.

This is all the hard-earned money paid by countless planets.

Guilliman's eyes also kept scanning among these fanatical believers.

Even he would feel a little crazy...Faith is a scary thing.

Just as everyone was about to reach the cathedral, Gao Yi's psychic perception suddenly sensed something unusual.

From his perception, there were quite a few people with psychic aura nearby, most of whom were official inquisitors and psychics of the empire.

However, some spiritual energies containing malicious intent appear particularly conspicuous at this moment.

And it was not just in one place. Among the fanatical crowd around, more and more and stronger spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from all over the dense crowd.

"Guilliman! There are Chaos Cultists mixed in with the crowd!"

Gao Yi immediately told Guilliman the location he sensed.

Trajan also heard the conversation between the two.

The faces of the people who had just finished the Battle of Cadia suddenly became solemn.

The Custodes and Ultramarines immediately took action, but before they could evacuate the crowd.

and arrive at the location.

A huge explosion sounded from the crowd, completely drowning out the people's cheers.

The cheers were replaced by screams.

The explosion was not very powerful, and the cultist carrying the bomb launched a suicide attack.

However, it still caused a large number of casualties within a radius of 100 meters. Some cultists directly used themselves as bombs, splashing poisonous and corrupted flesh and blood in all directions.

Those affected were either killed or injured, and blood flowed on the white marble floor. For a moment, there were broken limbs everywhere.

The crowd who were trying to escape in a panic even caused a stampede.

This sudden chaos caught everyone off guard.

The PDFs tried their best to maintain order, and the inquisitors from the Tribunal and their servants even began to use their psychic powers to forcibly control the will of the panicked crowd.

In addition to the explosions, some people disguised as believers even took out some inferior weapons and hacked and shot at innocent believers, and some even rushed directly towards Guilliman and Ferrus.

They chanted prayers to the dark gods.

However, before the Astartes and the Imperial Guards could make a move, they were shot into a pool of rotten meat by the PDFs as soon as they came here.

The intensive shooting even affected innocent people, and the number of ordinary people killed was even greater than that of the cultists.

The cultists' attack caused little casualties, and without any command it seemed like a child's play.

No one really thought such an attack could pose a threat to the Primarch, but that was clearly the cultists' intention.

This is a demonstration, a slap in everyone's face, and it is purely disgusting to Gao Yi and Guilliman.

The evil gods are telling Gao Yi and the Primarch not to think that they have really won the war on Cadia.

Even at the very center of humanity, Holy Terra, even in such a place, the power from the Warp can still penetrate, and this is the more terrifying side of Chaos than its power.

Guilliman, who had been trying his best to maintain his emotions, now looked terribly ugly.

Trajan walked up to Guilliman and whispered softly, just now, large-scale riots broke out in various hives on Terra

One after another, extremely secretive Chaos Cults exposed themselves and launched riots.

Even many officials of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs began to show their true colors.

They deliberately issued wrong orders so that the riots could not be contained in the first place.

In the vast amount of imperial documents, believers bewitched by Tzeentch had already secretly planted a large amount of erroneous data.

The destruction of some planets or the support they received were also caused by these latent believers. Just one more decimal point or a number could mean a disaster for planets outside Terra.

Guilliman, who received the news, looked at Gao Yi.

"Lord Gao Yi... I hope you can put the government affairs system you mentioned online as soon as possible!"

"I've asked Karax, Pavian, and Kaur to work on it! There should be some results!"

The few people who did not attend the celebration stayed on the battleship to develop the Internet.

Not only that, gossip and rumors are everywhere.

There are even some rumors that Ferrus is a fake!

It was obvious that Slaanesh paid attention to the scene where Fulgrim fought with him.

It was supposed to be a celebration to boost the morale of the empire, but now it has turned into this.

Guilliman is very rational under normal circumstances and is the most outstanding commander, but at the same time, once he gets too angry, he is also the typical one who doesn't care about anything.

Otherwise, the Honor Guard would not be called the Stretcher Team. Guilliman in charge really likes to rush forward for close combat.

"Do your best to rescue the injured! High Lords! Is this the celebration you mentioned? Is this a show of strength you are giving me? Is this the Empire you claim you rule for the Emperor? How did those cultists escape detection?

What's going on with the riot in the hive at this moment?

Is this still Terra?

You all have an unshirkable responsibility! I hope you have figured out how to explain it. "

The faces of the high lords were also very ugly. This matter really had nothing to do with them. They had tried their best but they didn't expect that there would still be mistakes...

They themselves have the urge to send all the relevant personnel to the stake. Although they are greedy for power, they are not so far as to collude with Chaos.

There are many cult activities on Terra, one could even say a lot, but they are all in the lower nests.

"Primarch, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us! My loyalty to the God-Emperor and the Empire will never allow me to do such a thing!

We will have someone investigate and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. We will definitely not let anyone who has anything to do with Chaos go!"

However, Guilliman had no intention of listening to the High Lord's explanation.

Although he was angry at the actions of the Chaos Gods... the Four Gods handed Guilliman a knife, a knife to punish the High Lord.

But sometimes rumors are just rumors. Once known by someone with ulterior motives, they can become weapons. The high lords have also noticed the rumors about Ferrus...

"It seems that Terra is the place with the most evil cults in the Empire. It's not just a saying... Isn't this a pure devil's den?"

Gao Yi couldn't help but sigh.

The celebration could no longer go on at this point, and after arranging the tasks, Guilliman turned around and looked at Trajan who was still on guard.

"Trajan, take us to the palace."

"Yes, sir
