233. Open the Door, Courtroom! (VI)
"..."]
You heard no reply from Inquisitor Amani.
You were unilaterally hung up on by the other party in your private communication. 】
You closed your dry eyes, and the blood vessels and nerves were beating repeatedly inside your silver metal head. 】
Amani may not be an Inquisitor of the Ordo daemonis at all. 】
She may be a safety device deliberately arranged by the Inquisition to check and balance your investigation. 】
If she is indeed the judge of the Demon Tribunal, then she is involved in the intricate factional struggle within the Tribunal. 】
You relaxed your frown slightly, and your headache and blood pressure gradually subsided, making you subconsciously let out a sigh of relief. 】
You seem to have forgotten some more important clues and possibilities...]
"Either the Tribunal does not believe my investigation report and thinks that my relationship with the war group is too close, and I have become a heretic... Or, someone wants to use the madmen of the Demon Tribunal to use the method to destroy demons. Great righteousness, forcefully forcing an Astartes war group to rebel... Well, that should be it, right?"
You took a deep breath with an expressionless expression. 】
You drove the power armor to the corner of the private room. 】
You are back saddled with a flamethrower filled with promethium and a bolter given to you by Chapter Master Gallus. 】
Your armed presence has attracted the attention of Team Ogryn. 】
The smart head grabbed Genbao and shook his fat butt. He came close to you and asked with his eyes wide open.
"Boss, what's wrong? Are the angels disobedient again? Don't worry, we'll slap their mouths for you!"]
"Zhu Genbao, let your friends re-arm! Our 'enemies' are coming! This time, I'm afraid we need to help the angels!" You said with a solemn expression to the smart man Zhu Genbao said. 】
The smart head scratched Genbao's bare scalp with a blank look, and then ordered all the members of the Oglin team to get ready. 】
You find Chapter Master Gallus who is sending out a reconnaissance team to explore the hive passage. 】
You tell the other party in detail about the heretical behavior of the Amani Inquisitors. 】
At the same time, you also revealed to Chapter Master Gallus the important news that a Sisters of Battle are about to arrive here. 】
Chapter Master Gallus didn't seem to have any expression of surprise. 】
He immediately issued an order for all the Astartes to prepare for war immediately. 】
With the rapid movements of the Astartes monks gearing up, the entire battle group station seemed to have entered the long-awaited battle atmosphere. 】
"Inquisitor 'Steel Skull', I'm very sorry that you were involved. I will order my personal guards to escort you safely out of the hive... You can reveal to the outside world that it was our Truth Seekers Chapter who detained you. , and threatened to force you to make an investigation report that violated the order of the Tribunal," Chapter Leader Gallus said to you in a calm tone. 】
"Captain Gallus, do you think I am the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Since someone wants to take advantage of me, then don't think that my metal head is smelly and hard!" You slapped it expressionlessly. A hard skull covered with silver metal.
Chapter Master Gallus stared at you deeply. 】
He suddenly showed a gentle smile that you had never seen before. 】
"My intuition tells me that you are sincerely helping us... Inquisitor 'Steel Skull', it will be a great honor for the Truth Seekers Chapter to fight alongside you!" Chapter Commander Gallus raised his metal palm. He slapped your thick shoulder armor hard. 】
You blinked your eyes slightly and smiled faintly. 】
In the third month, an Astartes reconnaissance team relied on the driving force of the power armor and extremely abundant physical strength to climb the passage of the large carrying elevator and arrived at the defensive position of the Home Defense Force. 】
When the roar of bolt guns sounded,
The Home Guards, who obeyed the orders of Inquisitor Amani, immediately surrendered to the Chapter of Truth Seekers. 】
Wait until you and Captain Gallus arrive at the upper hive of the hive via the large transport elevator. 】
The investigation team of only twenty people has completely controlled the entire situation. 】
One after another, the local defense forces are carrying out defense missions against the hive city in accordance with your orders. 】
However, a series of bad news quickly came to you. 】
The innocent planet governor was deliberately killed, and even Inquisitor Amani himself was missing. Even though hive civilians launched a large-scale search, there were no clues. 】
At the same time, the captain of the Cobra Destroyer was forced to obey the order of another Inquisitor and stay away from the planet's orbit. At the same time, the other party also informed the Battle Sisters of the heretical events that occurred on this industrial planet. 】
In other words, today's Truth Seekers Chapter and you as the Heretic Inquisitor have completely lost the opportunity to explain the entire incident. 】
The battle between you and the approaching Sisters of Battle is inevitable. 】
Chapter Leader Gallus seemed to have expected this. 】
He immediately ordered the Astartes monks stationed in the Chapter to launch combat deployments relying on the entire hive. 】
A large Exorcist-class cruiser belonging to the Truth Seekers Chapter, escorted by several Sword-class frigates, gradually moved away from the industrial planet, disguised as a strange ship from other planets. 】
According to the idea of Chapter Captain Galles, this will be one of the backup means for the Truth Seekers to evacuate this place. 】
At the same time, one after another of the old Leman Russ tanks were driven out of the long-sealed arms warehouse by the Homeland Defense Forces, and according to the order of Chapter Captain Galles, they were ambushed near the entrance of the hive city one by one. 】
You led your Ogryn team and nine Astartes brothers away from the entrance of the hive city temporarily. 】
You silently watched the fast-moving Astartes brothers carrying heavy weapons into the encirclement they had booked in advance. 】
You seemed to notice the eager anticipation of the upcoming battle by the Astartes brothers who were guarding. 】
You vaguely sensed something wrong. 】
You think that the development of all things at the moment is beyond your control. 】
You reviewed the complete process of the whole incident again, but it seems that there is nothing wrong. 】
A series of emergencies forced you to completely oppose the Battle Sisters you personally mobilized. 】
As time went by, both the Truth Seekers and the Homeland Defense Forces were fully prepared, waiting for the upcoming Battle Sisters. 】
However, when the landing capsules and Thunderhawk transport planes cut through the dry night sky of the industrial planet like flowers scattered by fairies, and descended on the nest. 】
A tiny thought that emerged from the depths of your heart slowly occupied your entire mind, causing you to gradually tighten the heavy grip of the flamethrower. 】
"Why am I so convinced that the Truth Seekers are not heretics? Is it because of what I have seen, or... I have a preconceived notion that the Astartes who are so kind to the people of the hive city and willing to disobey the orders of the Inquisition for the lives of innocent civilians will never have any entanglement with Chaos?"】
"Then, are the Chaos rituals in the regiment's base and other clues about the traces of demons really the deliberate frame-up of the demon judge Amani? Or... because I have a different relationship with the Astartes and deliberately suspect the Inquisition, so I subconsciously ignore all kinds of information?"】
"Why is Captain Gales so Have you already prepared to fight against the Imperial forces? Even if you have to bear some losses, don't you need to get in touch with the Sisters of Battle and try to prove the loyalty of the Chapter? As long as the Sisters of Battle are guaranteed, even the Inquisition will not make things difficult. Moreover, why do most of the Astartes brothers look so eager to fight? "】
"Emperor! I can't guarantee whether there are misunderstandings or misconceptions here!"】
"But this style of behavior that reveals strangeness and coincidences everywhere... Why didn't I notice it earlier? ! "】
"Emperor bless! This upcoming war is most likely a conspiracy of the Tzeentch demons!"】
