Chapter 1017 Storm King

…

Because the war that overwhelmed the internal conflicts was about to come, the Triumvirate, the most powerful of the Necrons, convened a discussion on war affairs.

The two Hierophants in the Triumvirate sat side by side, while the head of the council, the Silent King Szalak, sat in a higher position than the two Hierophants.

Countless living metal skeletons filled the council hall of the highest authority of the Necrons, but there were no warriors, no guards, no followers, only the Hierophants and Overlords at the peak of power in each dynasty, and the most respected judicial officers.

The Hierophants and Overlords loyal to Szalak stood behind the Silent King.

Opposite them was the Storm King Imotek and his followers.

This meeting seemed to be a joint discussion, but the opposition was already apparent just in the positions, and this meeting was originally held at the forefront of the confrontation between Szalak and Imotek.

When the meeting was held, the Grand Judicial Officer serving Szalak had announced to everyone everything that had happened so far, and warned the dynasties that war was bound to come.

According to the process and tradition, the Grand Justice had to select the temporary supreme military commander according to Szalak's opinion to lead the entire race to win the next war.

When everyone was wondering who would be the selected commander, the Grand Justice selected the Emperor of the Corun Dynasty in the name of Szalak.

"I will lead the war?" Emperor Corun raised his hand and pointed at himself, looking around, his eyes fell on his brother who was the overlord of the dynasty, "Honorable King of Silence, is this your opinion?"

Although he had heard that the Grand Justice had selected him, Emperor Corun still couldn't believe it.

This dynasty was a marginal dynasty, and it was forced to stand on Szalak's side when Imotek and Szalak confronted each other.

Although the Emperor's younger brother, Overlord Corun, suggested that his brother clearly express the neutrality of the dynasty in this racial infighting, the Emperor still wanted to take a gamble.

Now this selection is like the result of a gamble.

No matter why Szalak chose the Coron Dynasty, leading the war and becoming the supreme military commander, this dynasty can get everything they could not get before.

"This is of course the meaning of the most noble and final King of Silence." The Grand Justice responded loudly to the question of Emperor Coron, "Don't let me say it again."

"Praise the King of Silence." Emperor Coron stepped forward to the throne and knelt in front of the three emperors of the Three Holy Council.

A heavy footsteps sounded.

Before everyone's observation system reacted, Imotek's extremely heavy body rushed behind Emperor Coron, and the armored big hand pressed on the head of this emperor, and gently pulled out the head on the weak body together with the metal spine.

"Our species is facing war, why don't you choose me as the most suitable candidate!" Imotek threw away Emperor Coron's head, and his deep roar resounded throughout the parliament hall.

Seeing Storm King Imotek make such a move, the guards of the Triumvirate immediately stepped forward, pointing their phase spears directly at Imotek.

Facing these elite warriors guarding the Triumvirate, Imotek was not afraid at all. He swept his eyes of contempt for ants over the guards, and finally stared at Szalak: "Answer me!"

Imotek's body is different from other kings. As the king of the Sotek Dynasty who is best at war and the most warlike, his body is the same as those powerful warriors who often go in and out of the battlefield, and even more sturdy and heavy. This is a very barbaric thing in the eyes of other thin kings.

"Are you sure you are willing to lead the war for the entire race at this time?" The Grand Justice spoke on behalf of Szalak.

"The conflict between us is our business, but foreign war is not." Imotek's voice became louder. "If we face foreign war, even I am willing to devote myself to you and the entire species. As long as you appoint me as the military commander, I will immediately lead my followers to the war."

Hearing this, as if he had been waiting for this sentence, the Grand Justice immediately conveyed Szalak's will: "Then select the King of the Sotek Dynasty, the most powerful and warlike Storm King, to lead the entire war."

Imotek was satisfied, saluted Szalak, and then turned around to look at the leaders of other dynasties.

"Plots and tricks, these little tricks, cannot bring real benefits."

"Our previous plots and tricks have backfired, causing the Kasa Dynasty to awaken and intensify the contradictions with humans, and the entire race is facing war."

"Now I will lead this war in accordance with the will of the King of Silence. I will let you know that only real iron and blood can bring everything we want, not all kinds of despicable and ridiculous tricks."

Imotek saluted to Szalak and accepted the selection, but his words insulted Szalak without any disguise.

The people standing on Szalak's side did not react much. After all, the King of Silence himself was still leaning on the right armrest of the throne, watching Imotek's confident look like watching a play.

Szalak was very happy that Imotek took the initiative to accept the selection, which was exactly what he wanted.

Imotek was not stupid, and he knew that Szalak had a plan against him, but his choice was to be more careful when commanding the war, rather than refusing to take over the war affairs.

Because Imotek wanted to use a complete victory to let the entire race know who is the most suitable leader for them.

"How do you plan to command this war?" asked the Grand Justice.

"It's very simple." Imotek opened his hands, and the results of the Sotek Dynasty's information collection on humans and the Kasa Dynasty were displayed in front of everyone. It was a star map, which accurately marked the routes where humans were mobilizing troops, as well as several star regions designated as the front line by humans.

Imotek also knew a lot about humans, and the two major forces within humans were marked in blue and gold.

The back of the human territory was the blue Talon sphere of influence, and the rest was the golden sphere of influence of the Empire.

However, almost all the information collected by Imotek was about the empire's troop movements, supply routes, and war intentions. There were only a few transport fleet movements about Talon that could be observed by the void monitoring station hundreds of light years away.

"I know the deployment of the human empire very well."

"And the Kasa Dynasty, who hide in the dimension like a turtle, will not be our first enemy."

When Imotek began to talk about his strategy, everyone's eyes were on him.

Whether they hated him, opposed him, or wanted to kill him, they all had to admit the fact that Imotek did have more characteristics of a racial leader in terms of war.
