There was a subtle amount of fear upon the brow of the person, not only because TalOS spoke to him but also Perturabo was staring directly upon him. Without a second thought the Easterner had made a run for it, quickly followed by so many others who were paralyzed by the presence of TalOS.
The Proelitor did act in this moment, for by the sudden route of the persons there were many who did not move with them. These were either those still paralyzed by fear or actually had the bravery to look upon a pair of demi-gods without such animalistic fear. Before they could be trampled they each had a soldier of the Mechanicus to defend them.
An already sorry amount of people quickly found themselves among few peers. Now the Proelitor, who made up a fraction of those present, outnumbered them.
“Someone speak. We will not know what you wish until you say anything!” TalOS said with a firm bellow to those that were within the room.
Luckily for TalOS one of the envoys present from the east were able to take a step forward. He looked to be a military type who had seen a few battles before walking into this palace. Sure he had never seen horrors like TalOS, but maybe he also accepted death a while ago.
“Lords of the Imperium, we upon Olympia have suffered under the levies that the Iron Warriors Legion has placed upon us. Your wars have taken so many of our sons to stars unknown and for that we do not know anything that could happen to them. I have lost count how many dynasties have ended because of recruitment when the Priests of Mars had found a bloodline specifically attuned to their sorcery.” He bellowed first and foremost, “What we ask for is something tangible for our efforts, or a relief from the conscription. It is bad my lords, for the first time in thousands of years we have begun to entertain the idea of harams for our remaining men. The population of Olympia has gone down by one fifth since it started, and for that we wish to either be relieved or know of our son’s deeds.”
TalOS looked towards his brother who simply looked annoyed. Knowing that TalOS wanted to hear his opinion he gave it, +Do whatever you wish. I’ve had my fill of politics.+
In other words, Perturabo was still recovering from what happened before. He did not really want to think about this and knew his brother was better in aspects like this anyways.
