Chapter 1604: Worries of the Inquisition (please vote for additional updates!)
When Veronica brought over the steaming white maple tea, Soshiyang mentioned this report on the activities of the Eldar to her .
"You said, what do you call these people in the Maelstrom? Wilderness compatriots?"
Veronica glanced at the report, and then a confused expression appeared on her face. .
“I know about the Maelstrom area. It was an abandoned land long before the Great Fall. In fact, according to ancient documents, the existence of the Maelstrom can even be traced back to the end of the War in Heaven. But where Because the barrier between the Supreme Heaven and Heaven is too fragile, most worlds are affected by subspace and cannot give birth to world spirits, and naturally cannot be colonized. Even the powerful empire era has not conquered there. How can there be a virgin world? "
"In other words, the Eldar have never tried to colonize there?"
"Attempt. It's hard to say, because the ancient archives are almost impossible to survive with the Great Fall. The actual situation is mostly based on guesswork. Maybe someone It’s not necessarily true that there were colonists taking root there during this period. If not, just ask Doral to arrange for someone to investigate.”
“Well, it’s possible, but you have to remind him to stay hidden.” , The Maelstrom area is in chaos now.”
Soshiyan then read the remaining reports, all about heretical activities. One of them mentioned that the Red Pirates seemed to have reached a secret agreement with the Black Legion. , and an unusual subspace disturbance occurred in the central area of the maelstrom at a certain moment. The inquisitor is still investigating the connection between this series of events.
There is also a report mentioning the recent activities of some dangerous Chaos warbands in the Maelstrom area. One of the warbands is called the Flawless Blade, and the leader of the warband is the infamous "Immortal" Lucius.
"This Lucius"
Soshiyang frowned, and Veronica looked at him curiously.
"A group of degenerates who worship Slaanesh? What's wrong?"
"It seems that he has some grudges with Instructor Thor. I heard him mention it a long time ago. Maybe I should inform him about this matter. . ”
“Yeah, I remembered it when you said it. Evrene also mentioned that there was a group of Slaanesh believers who came out of the Colosseum in Commorragh. The leader seemed to be called this. Name. I heard Efreni say at the time that this guy is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to tell that Thor?”
"Well, I'm afraid that he will find out the news and cause trouble for instructor Sol."
"Yes, it's always good to be on guard."
Veronica looked at the reports, and then He sighed softly:
“These judges are really pervasive.”
“Yes, this is also a point that I am very worried about. According to the experience of past expeditions, there is a high probability that the judges will If I intervene, I will now be put in the spotlight. Not only will countless pairs of eyes stare at me, but some judges will also focus on me. After all, it is their duty to ensure the loyalty of the expeditionary force. This kind of Under such circumstances, many means and forces cannot be used, such as Ulan Huda's reinforcements, Titans, and some combat robots and special equipment. Things like Scream must even be dismantled from the ship, as well as Talos, Kayon and others must also show up less in front of people, they have all been registered in the trial court.”
Speaking of this, Soshyan even had a slight headache. In many of his past victories, he relied on equipment and special reinforcements to catch the enemy off guard, but this time he seemed unable to repeat such tactics.
This feeling was very uncomfortable, as if he was forced into the boxing ring to fight a powerful opponent, and his hands were tied. "Okay, I'm starting to look sad again. If you really don't want to go, can't you refuse this appointment?"
"Oh, how can you refuse? This is an order. We are Soldiers, obedience is required."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Soshiyang took a sip from the teacup and looked at the rest of the report.
Two of the reports attracted his attention. One was signed by Marcus. If Soshyan remembered correctly, it should be the Marcus he knew before. Unexpectedly, he was active in the Maelstrom again. .
Marcus’ report is about the rampant smuggling chain in the Maelstrom area and the relationship between the trade lords behind it. In his narrative, the smugglers in the Maelstrom have a complex network of relationships. It is heretical pirates or even red pirates. On the other hand, it is the trade lords, and even involves the administrative agencies of the empire.
He expressed worry in the report that the agencies and lords of the empire in the Maelstrom area have begun to They are trapped in a huge interest network and have a tendency to become corrupt. Especially their unclear relationship with the Red Pirates has made the empire's local rule shaky.
The Inquisition usually pays little attention to the corruption of imperial institutions or the corruption of local lords. For Marcus to present such a serious and pessimistic attitude, the situation may be very serious. This is something Soshyan must consider. a factor.
The other report was from a trainee judge signed by Sadi Salas, but what worried Soshyan was not the whereabouts of a certain demon prince in her report, but the fact that she submitted the report That person——
The Supreme Protector of the Formosa Sector and the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal of Demons, Torquemada Cortez.
The most famous deed of this ruthless man is that he personally killed his mentor. The supreme protector of Formosa at that time was the Grand Inquisitor Lardian. Once he held a meeting and demonstrated a A demon crystal discovered by him, and hoped that he could keep it for research and provide the necessary research materials for the Demon Tribunal to deal with demons. Although this crystal was hosted by demons, all the judges present did not Anyone who dared to question Lardian's words was the only one who picked up the holy hammer and walked to the center of the venue. He smashed the crystal and declared in court that Lardian was a heretic and used the hammer with his own hands. Smashed his mentor's head.
After dealing with Lardian, Curtiz was quickly promoted to the Supreme Protector of Formosa by the line of fire. It is difficult not to doubt whether he had planned it for a long time.
Therefore, Kertiz gives people the impression that one is ruthless, and the other is utilitarian and ambitious.
In short, Soshiyang does not want to encounter this god of plague under any circumstances, but looking at the report, it seems that the inquisitor has been hunting this demon prince for a while, and now he is alive in the maelstrom area. If you know its whereabouts, there is a high probability that you will follow it.
"The Tribunal, the Tribunal can't get around these people no matter what this time, Veronica, how about you still-"
Veronica sat directly in his arms and stared at him , asked in a pretentious manner:
"What do you dare to say?"
As she said that, her little hands had quietly grabbed the tie of Soshyan's robe, which frightened Soshyan into hurriedly Hold the other person's hand.
“Forget it, it’s nothing.”
After comforting Veronica, an inexplicable thought suddenly came to Soshiyang's mind.
Now that Huron has known the news, what thoughts will he have, what should he do to deal with it, and what kind of conspiracy does he plan against himself?
