"..."

Hearing Togaton's words, Loken frowned subconsciously and folded his hands unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, Loken nodded and sighed sadly:

"Indeed, I noticed it too."

"The culture of association is spreading up and down the legion, even to the lowest level of ordinary imperial troops. It will not only weaken the discipline of the imperial troops, but what is even more frightening is that the tentacles of chaos may indeed be spreading quietly, and some unscrupulous

The spread of good information also made the soldiers more confused, and even began to have a lot of complaints against the emperor and the empire?"

"We really should take action, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

While speaking, Loken subconsciously remembered what Ali said when she came to look for him a few days ago.

However, although he admitted that there was Chaos and some bad influences and ideas spread among warrior associations, he still wanted to say that Warmaster Horus was corrupted and corrupted by Chaos, and that Warmaster Horus was plotting against the Empire and the Emperor.

Emperor, he would never believe that kind of thing no matter what!

"It's good that you know!"

"It also saves me having to waste my time talking."

Seeing that Loken had indeed realized the seriousness of the problem, Togaton quickly put away his smile and his expression became serious.

"But the problem is..."

"What are we going to do?"

"It's probably impossible to directly order a ban. It might cause backlash and chaos!"

"After all, association culture has a long history, and soldiers need faith and a sense of belonging. It's really difficult for us to handle it!"

"I have actually thought that we should start from the source, strengthen education, let them understand the true glory and loyalty, and then slowly resist the erosion of those bad ideas?"

"But you also know that a warrior association is a small group. Unless we already have people in it, it will not be easy to infiltrate and strengthen loyalty education!"

As he talked, Togaton felt that one of his ideas that had been brewing for a long time seemed a bit naive and had no choice but to look at Loken, wanting to see what Loken's opinion was.

Because he knows that Loken has always been steady, and maybe he can think of some better ways than his ideas?

"You have a good idea!"

Loken nodded, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes and confirmed Togaton's idea.

“But education doesn’t happen overnight.”

"In comparison, I think we need to strengthen the monitoring of association activities. Once we find signs of being involved with chaos, we will try to eliminate them immediately!"

At this point, he paused, his eyes becoming deep and hesitant.

"More importantly, we must find and destroy the penetration points of those chaotic forces and cut off their influence from the source."

"besides!"

"The ordinary imperial troops at the bottom also need to pay attention..."

"Ever since the Emperor left the Great Crusade Fleet and returned to Terra early, both the Astartes and the ordinary Imperial Auxiliaries have criticized the Emperor. If they are used by Chaos, the consequences will not be ours.

All that can be expected.”

Once again talking about some of the Emperor's actions, Loken couldn't help but sigh again.

In his opinion, all the things were not the result of the Emperor leaving the Great Crusade Fleet early and returning to Terra to create the Imperial Council and isolate the Astartes and all the officers of the Great Crusade Fleet in the core power.

Are you causing trouble for outrageous practices outside the circle?

And if there hadn't been that bad thing, how could they have so much trouble now?

However, they can only think about that kind of thing in their hearts and talk about it in private, but they dare not publicize it everywhere. Otherwise, those who risked their lives and fought for more than two hundred years, resulting in countless casualties but

What will the soldiers do when they gain nothing?

"Yes!" "You can do that!"

Togaton didn't think too much. After hearing Loken's thoughts, he immediately patted his thigh, expressing his complete agreement with Loken's opinion.

"I can be responsible for intelligence collection. I have contacts throughout the entire legion. I can always dig out some useful information."

"As for the action, I'll leave it to you, Loken, a mature and prudent commander, to deploy it."

"OK!"

"Then let's split up?"

"But you have to remember that this matter must be kept secret. We cannot let more people know about our plan, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Don't worry, Lorcan."

"Although I like to joke, I will never be ambiguous at critical moments."

"Come and drink to the success of our plan!"

"Dry!"

"Come on!"

“One more drink!”

"??"

"No, I still have some things to do..."

"What do you mean, you don't want to give your brother face?"

"no!"

"I haven't finished some things. It's not good if I drink too much..."

"This is a fine wine that I treasure. If it were that guy Abaddon, I wouldn't give it to him if he wanted to drink it!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Let's each take half, and then I'll leave after finishing this bottle, how about that?"

"..."

In this way, after basic discussions, and at Togaton's insistence, Loken wanted to refuse politely, but in the end he had to violate his long-standing rules under the other party's kindness, and had to work with the other party on his own

In our office, you and I drank one cup after another during working hours.

However……

What Loken didn't know was that on the night when he was drinking with Togaton and had a hangover, his assistant female officer Ali, who almost never had to work, actually came to Lu on the command deck in his name.

In the Pekar Chamber, he knocked on the door of Warmaster Horus' office.

Then, Ali's pupils shrank as she walked in, and then her steps became hesitant.

Because, I don’t know why, Horus who was huddled behind his desk did not turn on the light, but just sat in the darkness, so that this room was originally the largest and most magnificent room on the Vengeful Spirit.

The office looks a bit eerie?

"..."

And when she remembered something Magnus said, knew why, and thought that the Warmaster in front of her must have been completely corrupted and became a member of Chaos, Ali quickly became calm again.

Then, thinking of a plan of her own, she had to pretend to be calm and bravely stepped forward.

"Loken asked you to come?"

"Put your things down and you can go out."

Horus, on the other hand, suddenly made a sound when Ali walked to the desk, and then he snorted impatiently, motioning for Ali to put down the things in her hands, and then get out.

"Your Majesty the Warmaster!"

"I have something else to report!"

However, of course it was impossible for Ali to just go out like this, and even the documents in her hand were just a cover-up she used as an excuse. Therefore, she resisted an impulse that made her tremble and rushed out of the door.

Ya said the words.

"..."

Unfortunately, Horus in the darkness did not answer her immediately, but continued to stare at her with his cold eyes.

"That's right!"

"Commander of the Horus Legion, Captain Loken and others discovered your conspiracy!"

"Including the warrior association being corrupted by Chaos and the fact that you are preparing to isolate and eliminate them, they should have discovered some clues."

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Ali quickly told her about Togadon's visit to Loken, which she had just learned about today, and some of the things the two of them might have done.

Of course, she didn't know the specific content of the meeting between the two, so she just made a random guess based on the current situation, but even that random guess was enough, because she saw and felt it, and when she said it

After that, the aura on Horus's body instantly became extremely terrifying.

With that kind of crazy energy, momentum, and pressure that makes one's hair stand on end, to be honest, if the opponent suddenly takes action in the next second and launches a brazen attack on her, Ali is not sure that he can withstand it.

In fact, let alone taking action, if the other party wants to do something, just shout, she may not be able to leave here alive today?
