Chapter 326 The Rebellion of the Soul Drinkers
“Why do you think you can survive?”
Arik was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice:
"I...I'm just a little luckier than others."
The old-looking inquisitor looked at Yarick's figure. Although he had great doubts, he could still feel the young political commissar in front of him. Radiating strength and determination.
"Do you still remember the honor and courage given to you by Zhongsi Academy? Do you still remember what it means to be a political commissar?"
"Of course."
"Then when those people, you What did you think when the people you led, those who shared life and death with you, cried your name before they died? "
Dewen stared at Alex and saw his face. The above map reflects the huge ideological struggle in the heart.
Loyalty to duty and loyalty to comrades-in-arms are in fierce conflict.
Finally, Yarick smiled sadly and said:
“I thought this would not be a difficult thing, but I was wrong... My answer is that I have no right to let them live. , but I have the responsibility to let them die well."
Dewen stared at him for ten seconds, and then said:
"Let's go."
"Go. Where? ”
"Go where you should go. After all, you are under the management of the Ministry of Military Affairs."
Wende pointed to a side door.
"Marcus asked me to take care of you. That's exactly what I will do. Now be quiet. The representatives of the Ministry of Military Affairs are there for you. There may be an accountability or interrogation in the future, but you have to hold on. , this is a necessary process, after all... you are the only one who survived."
Yarek raised his head and glanced at Soshyan, and after the other party nodded, he straightened his coat. Step through the door.
The metal door slammed shut behind him with a heavy sense of fate.
The sounds of the dying planet and those shocked whispers were immediately cut off, and an uneasy silence enveloped the remaining two people.
“By the way, Captain Soshiyang, didn’t you find anything on the planet?”
Hearing these words, Soshiyang immediately greeted Sai in his heart. Vita three times, this guy's wanton behavior has really caused himself a huge trouble.
Ever since leaving the ruins of the cathedral, Marcus kept asking him if he had found the grimoire. In order to keep the secrets of the Chapter, Soshyan could only lie and say that he had found nothing.
But the Inquisitor is not that easy to deceive. After searching the ruins to no avail, Marcus went to ask Gorgli of the Soul Drinker, who also said that he found nothing.
This made Marcus suspicious, because creations of chaos would not be destroyed so easily, and for such important things, the devil would either carry them with him or hide them in the safest place.
He personally believes that the former has a better probability, but he cannot rule out the latter. However, without any evidence, Marcus often makes insinuations about Soshyan.
Apparently Soshyan, who was closest to the demon when he was exiled, was his first target of suspicion.
Fortunately, there are no flaws yet.
But this made Soshyan feel very annoyed, because after taking away the grimoire, Savita did not tell the specific reason. In short, he just had an attitude of "don't worry about what I do."
If it weren't for Thor's persuasion, he would have really wanted to throw this self-assertive guy into space.
And with such a dangerous creation of chaos on his ship, Soshyan felt very unsafe. He did not believe that Sevatar was as trustworthy as he said.
The losses in this operation were already great. Two soldiers were killed at the altar, and another soldier was killed in the battle of the cathedral later. He had already lost three soldiers and did not want to cause any more huge trouble.
"Judge, this is the fifth time you have asked me, and my answer is still the same. We expelled the demons, but did not find the relics in the record. Maybe you can search the planet carefully again in the future. . ”
“Well, it seems we need a more detailed investigation.”
Inquisitor Bonaventure shrugged as there was nothing even an Inquisitor could say to a Chapter Master without any evidence.
“The last bit of work is left.”
Judge Wende and Soshiyan walked to the bridge, and then connected the communication of the trial fleet.
"How is the situation on the ground?" "Scanners reported that the virus has basically disappeared."
"Where is the gas concentration level?"
"Out of the measurement range, sir, we are waiting for your order."
Soshyan looked at the planet below that was shrouded in billowing poisonous clouds. atmosphere.
Now, all it takes is a spark.
He imagined the planet in his mind as the hot tip of an electric weld.
"Order the artillery to fire."
Judge Wende made the final ruling coldly.
"In the name of the Golden Throne and the Holy Emperor, the Inquisition hereby declares the extermination order for the world of Valedor."
The communication channels of all the warships in orbit echoed The solemn and powerful voice of the Inquisitor's bell made people straighten up, as if electricity was flowing through their bodies.
"I hereby sign the death certificate of the entire world, and let hundreds of millions of souls be forgotten. May the judgment bring peace, and may the Emperor forgive our sins."
Feeling the vibration of the floor, Soshyan looked towards the observation window, just in time to see the rolling poison cloud lit up by dazzling beams of light - including the Unbound Soul, all the warships in orbit fired light spears .
In the blink of an eye, the orbital attack pierced the upper atmosphere and came into contact with the thick poison cloud. The blazing beam ignited the poison gas with a muffled sound, as if all the oxygen in the atmosphere was sucked into it.
In a second, the air itself was ignited, and a storm of flames and roar roared through.
The entire continent was burned to scorched earth, the mountains, rivers and plains were peeled off until only rocks remained. Those decaying lives were wiped out in an instant. The wind of flames and death swept across the surface of the planet, leaving destruction behind. of fire.
Cities filled with poisonous clouds were blown to pieces, and pillars of fire danced wildly in deadly firestorms.
Nothing can survive here, flesh, rock, and metal all melt or molten in the unimaginable heat.
The huge building complex collapsed, the former residents were turned into ashes by the wind, the marble palaces and churches disintegrated in the huge mushroom cloud, and the storm of destruction ruthlessly and endlessly swept the surface of Valedo until the entire planet All fell into the flames.
Those lucky ones who survived the virus attack were eager to find cover again, but were still engulfed by the flames.
In this firestorm, it is impossible for anyone to find cover.
Because the surface temperature of the planet will soon exceed a thousand degrees, turning the entire planet into a hot miniature sun.
When the repercussions of the orbital attack had just faded away, hundreds of millions of people had already been buried in the religious world of Valedo and turned into dust.
Together with the people of Valedo, the planet's ecosystem will be destroyed. This once lush time will also turn into a barren wasteland.
At this time, the door to the bridge suddenly opened, and Marcus and Gorgli walked in at the same time.
Soshiyang turned around, only to see that both of them looked not very good.
Marcus had a serious face, while Gorgli had a gloomy face, with uncontrollable anger.
"What's wrong?"
"Just received a text message."
After arriving on the bridge, Marcus said to Wende:
"Soul Drinker The Chapter attacked the Mechanicum fleet in Laconia not long ago and killed the Technomagos, and has been declared an excommunicated traitor by the Inquisition. "What!"
Soshyan's eyes widened, while Gorgli gritted his teeth and spit out a name between his teeth.
"...Sarpedon!"
