Chapter 541 The Rise of the Lion King: The Hongmen Banquet

The station of the Valhalla Legion is far outside the city, which is not difficult to explain. After all, the entire expeditionary force stationed in the city will always cause a lot of impact. The traffic, municipal affairs and the public security problems caused by the soldiers when they go out to find fun will make the local government miserable.

After all, the simplest point is that if a star army soldier commits a crime, should you judge him according to local laws, or send him back to the Valhalla Legion for internal processing? The latter is likely to cover up and make a big deal small. After all, the legion is full of comrades who have blocked guns for each other, and the army will naturally be more inclined.

And this is incredible. Such naked sheltering behavior will definitely arouse the disgust of local nest city residents, especially now that many local people do not welcome outsiders. This will only lead to more difficult-to-handle public security incidents, or even more seriously, it will lead to unrest, and this will definitely allow the noseless blue-skinned people to take advantage of the loophole.

Therefore, after some discussion, the bases of each regiment of Valhalla were set up outside the city, in the wilderness of the plateau. This made it difficult for the soldiers. After all, there was nothing to be stationed in the wilderness, and everything had to be built by themselves. Before all the camps were built, you had to live in tents with wind blowing from all sides.

Although the cold wind here is no big deal for the Valhallan people, it is not a comfortable feeling after all, right? Many people complained, but for the officers and soldiers of the 597th Regiment of Valhalla, it was not so unbearable. After all, they had a real base.

You see, following the heroic political commissar Kane is always good. Not only can you get better supplies and double the military rations, but you can also be assigned to a better camp first. So when the political commissar respected by the whole regiment walked into the camp, he was loved even more.

Kane led Vito and his female judge colleagues into the barracks through the gate. The barracks were surrounded by high walls, and the entrance had been barricaded, with concrete piers that had been preliminarily completed, and bulletproof steel plates that had been installed.

The high walls surrounding the entire camp blocked the cold wind blowing from the surrounding tundra, but the overall temperature was still very low, with snowflakes flying in the air and the breath from the mouth forming white frost in the air.

But this still couldn't stop the passionate Valhallans. The Valhallans who entered the camp and were deploying and carrying personal luggage and equipment all greeted Kane enthusiastically. Their love for Kane seemed to have reached a higher level. After all, they had a real house to live in.

The men and women of the 597th Regiment of Valhalla cheered, and Kane waved to them frequently. He was a political commissar who was easy to get along with. It was obvious that he would not respond to them with those boring official commissar words unless he was giving a speech. Now, he used more intimate titles.

"Sansa, oh, nice to see you, it seems your platoon has come in early, how are the girls?" Kane smiled and greeted them. Sansa, who was beside the military vehicle, touched her hair with her hands. Her short gray hair was all in a headband, and she was carrying a box with a good figure.

She handed the box to a female soldier behind her, then wiped the sweat from her forehead, and put her strong arms on her waist with abdominal muscles, "Very good, political commissar, everyone is in high spirits and can go into battle at any time."

"Ah, very good, but I hope that we don't fight so early as possible." "Indeed, political commissar, we are still moving equipment, but I promise! Soon we will be able to deal with any enemy, for the emperor!" "Yes, for, the emperor, keep going, Sergeant Sansa, have a good day."

Kane smiled bitterly and walked forward. He really didn't want to fight so early. He had just arrived and hadn't enjoyed a few days of good days after getting off the crowded and turbid transport ship. If possible, Kane hoped that these days would be as long as possible, the longer the better.

Behind him, Vito was not so sad. He dragged his chin and looked at Sansa's abdominal muscles, and the other strong but slim female soldiers behind her showed an interesting smile, until the female colleague beside him pulled his arm.

He looked at her with a wry smile, and then followed Cain under the latter's complaining eyes and entered the center of the front camp. It was a tall reinforced concrete building that looked like a warehouse.

This place was used as the central camp of the 597th Regiment and the headquarters. Under the tall dome, a large number of intricate telephone lines and communication cables were laid on the ground. The command center being built was gradually taking shape around it. Radio stations, tactical terminals, and communication base stations were all being built in an orderly manner.

Vito looked around with appreciation, "It seems that they know what to do and are very skilled." "Thank you for your compliment, but all the credit should be attributed to our regiment commander, Colonel Castin, and Major Braun."

"And yours, Political Commissar, without you, our regiment would not have achieved what it has today." A familiar female voice came from the side, and Vito turned his head to see a red-haired woman, his favorite hair color.

The person was wearing a black long military coat, and the coat that fell down covered the perfect figure underneath. Only a pair of long legs in knee-high boots were exposed, walking with steady and powerful steps.

Vito admired the blue eyes, which were like amber gems, and the slightly purple lips, which made people want to

His female colleague squeezed his waist hard to make him take his eyes away from the lips. Vito smiled bitterly and looked at her brochure again, Colonel Military Academy. Her identity and status couldn't be more obvious. .

"Colonel Castine, I'm glad you're here. The boys and girls are doing a great job under your command. The camp is beginning to take shape."

"This is what I should do, political commissar. I heard about the accident on the road before. It was so dangerous and shameful. Since those despicable enemies plan to use terrorist attacks to kill our political commissar!"

Castine said angrily, with only concern for Kane in his eyes, while the young officer behind him, who was a major, had awe in his eyes. Apart from Kane, he quickly noticed Vito.

"I think you are the Lord Inquisitor." "Oh? How did you recognize him?" "You are dressed in black, just like all the Inquisitors described. Of course, more importantly, the way you walk is Pace, cautious, and ready to fight, which is not what civilians would do."

Vito looked at the Major with slight surprise, and then showed an expression of appreciation, "Keeping observation, Major, I think you are Braun, right?"

"Major Braun Falco." He responded at attention, with a sonorous voice. Vito smiled at him, then stretched out his hand to shake hands with Castine, who took off his gloves to show respect. The seemingly small but powerful hand held Vito's hand, letting him know that the mortal bolter hanging on the colonel's waist was definitely not a decoration.

"It is an honor to meet you, Lord Inquisitor. We have received news from Captain Sulla. Your Astartes friends have been well settled and are investigating the local situation according to your orders. And you One of our friends also made suggestions for our defense.”

"Strict advice, and very effective." The serious Braun immediately added, and Vito immediately knew who it was. He smiled and shook Castin's hand, "Our pleasure, That’s what we should do.”

"Is this your colleague? Is he also a judge?" After Castine let go of Vito's hand, he looked at the woman with short black hair behind him and asked. Vito stood up with a smile, came to her side and held her down. her shoulders.

"Alice Angie, Inquisitor of the Heresy Trial Hall." After Vito said, "Alice" stared at him, her eyes seemed to be full of dissatisfaction. I don't know if she had an objection to the name itself being unsound, or to the famous name. Words have opinions, you know, God knows where the name came from, like, some governor's daughter?

But Vito just smiled and didn't explain anything. He quickly moved his eyes back to Castine, who looked at Alice and nodded respectfully, then tilted his head back to indicate.

"Please follow, two Lord Inquisitors, let's talk in a quieter place." Castine suggested, and then several people went to the second floor of the warehouse, where the glass office of the warehouse administrator has been It was converted into Castine's regimental headquarters. Although it had not yet been tidied up, it was quiet enough.

Vito was the last one to walk into the room. He looked at the table in front of him and the maps and documents piled around him. The door behind him was closed. Only one person did not come in. Jurgen stayed outside, but Jurgen was not there. After entering, both Castine and Braun breathed a sigh of relief, especially the latter, who had been holding his throat and could finally breathe again.

"The smell of Jurgen. I tried to think of a way, but it didn't work. It's like it's stuck to him." "Don't worry, I've smelled worse." Vito said and came to the glass window. In front of the desk, Kastin stood behind the desk, overlooking the entire camp outside.

"Okay, no one will disturb us here, let alone eavesdrop. Sir Inquisitor, have you found anything? Regarding the previous terrorist attacks, this has shown that the local situation has exceeded the expectations of the Valhalla Expeditionary Force."

Castine stood behind the table and said, and Braun beside her immediately added her own, "Before we arrived, based on the briefing, we only learned that there was some local commotion, and the main enemy was still the Tau. But the current situation seems that our enemy is not only the Tau."

"Indeed, there are still rebels, and the situation here is more restless than I expected." Vito said and propped himself up on the table. He looked at the city map on the table in front of him. There were still no marks on it, which meant , Castine's group knew nothing about this place.

"Have you learned anything? My lord, regarding the terrorist attack, someone must have been planning it for a long time. We just arrived at Tyrell Munda and we encountered such a plot. Since they wanted to frame our political commissar in such a despicable way, If they succeed, the morale of the entire regiment and even the entire army will be damaged."

Braun said angrily, but quickly raised his head and looked at Kane, full of awe, "But I believe that Commissar Kane is still as heroic as ever, leading the counterattack of our soldiers! And repulsed them. Offend the enemy."

"Ah, yes, that's right, everyone acted bravely, except for those cowards." Kane said calmly, and then found Zhang to sit down. Alice looked at him and raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she felt something. Something is wrong.

"Is the Tribunal aware of it? If this is not a secret." Castine asked more calmly and calmly, while Vito looked at the map and shook his head, "I have just arrived, and I don't know more than you, but One thing I can tell you is that local officials are unreliable.”

"Of course, those guys from the Ministry of Justice should have ensured the safety of the streets! But a self-destructing truck rushed into the parade, and they owe us an explanation."

"Or, the local Ministry of Justice was not careless?" Vito raised his head and said coldly. Braun immediately fell silent, with a serious expression on his face. He glanced at Castin beside him, who also frowned.

"You mean, the local government has betrayed?" "Every government in the imperial world has more or less traitors, but the number is not clear. We have to act carefully and wait for the enemy to reveal himself."

"That's right, we will observe secretly and choose the most appropriate time to kill those imperial traitors in one blow! For the emperor!" Kane said solemnly while sitting in a chair, waving his fingers, just like a real imperial commissar, firm, and bringing the same sense of firmness to others.

"Even if they have come to our door, we will face them head-on! I, Caifas Kane, will take the responsibility!" Kane stood up and announced loudly, which earned him praise from Castin and Braun, who looked in awe. Even Vito was impressed by the superb political commissar skills.

Except for Alice, she looked at Kane with a strange expression, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't tell, until a hurried phone call interrupted them.

Castin raised the phone on the table, put it to his ear and listened to the voice, then frowned and put down the phone and looked at Kane, "Political Commissar, the Chief Judge of the Ministry of Justice has sent his adjutant to invite you to the local headquarters of the Ministry of Justice, saying that he hopes to apologize to you in person."

"Ah?" Kane was startled and immediately began to regret his bad mouth. No matter how you look at it, it's the traitor's plan that failed, and he is plotting further. Emperor, why do you always arrange this kind of work for me?

"Great, great." Vito leaned on the table, looking at Kane with his arms folded. Braun behind him immediately questioned, "Mr. Inquisitor, this is a Hongmen Banquet no matter how you look at it. The traitors failed in their plot and wanted to trick the political commissar away."

For the first time, Kane praised and appreciated Braun's keen observation and looked at him gratefully, but Vito shook his head, "Assassinating their heroic political commissar in front of all the Valhalla soldiers? No, at least it won't be so obvious, and, isn't this what we are waiting for, the enemy will show his hand?"

Vito smiled cunningly, Castin and Braun looked at him, then raised their heads and looked at Kane, who stood there with a wry smile on his face, "Please go, political commissar, don't worry, I will follow, I mean, we."

Alice pressed Kane's shoulder, which startled the latter, and then Kane smiled bitterly in his heart, "Why is it that every time I get involved with the Inquisition, it will be like this?"
