Chapter 1682 The undercurrent of the Tribunal

Soshiyang heard Marcus’s words and had some understanding, so he said:

“This expedition requires the cooperation of all parties. Efforts, and the Inquisition is indispensable, but it seems that I have seen you so far, and no other Inquisitor has appeared. Is the Inquisition in the Maelstrom area very weak? "

He actually asked knowingly, But Marcus didn't know. He answered honestly:

"In this area full of heretics and aliens, how can the power of the Tribunal be weak? It's just that because of their respective factions, everyone rarely Most of those who choose to cooperate with others work alone or in small groups. Inquisitors rarely meet directly with other members of the empire unless it is absolutely necessary. For many inquisitors who perform front-line tasks, exposing their identity is Very dangerous.”

"I see, then how can I get the assistance of the entire Maelstrom Tribunal? Now the expeditionary force still relies heavily on some... civilian organizations in terms of intelligence. The Assassin's Tribunal seems to have given up all their space in the Maelstrom to the Death Cult. ”

Marcus shook his head when he heard this.

“The Assassins did this because they did not want to wade into the muddy waters of the maelstrom, so they launched the Death Cult as remote-controlled puppets. Now they are the only imperial intelligence agencies they can rely on. As for the Inquisition... To be honest, the Inquisition The Tribunal itself cannot yet gather strength, and there are many radicals in the Maelstrom area. They are all dangerous. I do not recommend that you cooperate with them.”

In short, whether it is the Demon Tribunal or the Tribunal, The Alien Court can be roughly divided into two major sects: the Purist Sect and the Radical Sect. The Purist Sect always believes in and implements the most traditional stance and is committed to purifying all criminal and evil elements in the galaxy: aliens, mutants and demons, everything related to Anything that goes against the purity of Imperial humanity and the claims of Imperial law will arouse the attention of the Purists.

The radicals believe that all methods, tools, and personnel that can help the Tribunal complete its interrogation tasks can be used. Some radical Tribunal members will also accept and use forbidden powers, and even use subspace. own resources to fight against the enemies of mankind.

The two major sects are divided within themselves. The competition between these factions is not only reflected in politics, but also often develops into bloody conflicts. The faction to which Marcus belongs is considered to be the more radical among the Purity Sect, but it is still not the same. Belongs to the radical faction and adopts a completely hostile attitude towards real radical factions.

After thinking for a moment, Soshyan said:

“I heard that the Grand Inquisitor Torquemada Ketiz is also coming to the Maelstrom area. What do you have to say about this matter? What do you think? "

"In fact, he arrived a week ago and summoned all members of the Tribunal to Tranquility 2 in the Endymion cluster to hold an integration meeting."

" Didn’t you say that cooperation between different factions is impossible?”

"Torquemada Ketiz has enough influence in the Tribunal. He was once nominated to be the representative of the Tribunal in the High Lords Council. Few people would refuse the unified meeting he called for, because that It means being an enemy of an authoritative Grand Inquisitor."

"It's already here."

Soshyan paused, then smiled:

"Why don't you say hello to me, the supreme commander of the expeditionary force? What is his purpose in convening this meeting?"

"We don't know yet."

"Inquisitor Marcus, are you also going to participate?"

"Yes, I will leave after I say goodbye to you."

"Inquisitor Marcus, what is the purpose of this expedition? It is not only important for the empire, but also the situation is serious. I very much hope that we can work together again to defeat the enemy of the empire."

Marcus put on his hat and nodded.

"As a loyal servant of the Emperor, I shall do my best to assist you in defeating the enemies of the Emperor."

As he spoke, he took out a memory chip.

“This contains the intelligence data I have collected over the years of my activities in the Maelstrom area. If it can be of some use, I will be very pleased. I will come back to see you after the meeting. "

Soshiyang took the memory card, stood up slowly and sighed:

"I am lucky to have a friend who understands justice like you."

When Soshyan said the word "friend", Marcus' heart skipped a beat, which also meant that the other party had accepted the olive branch he extended.

"In order to prevent you, Judge Marcus, from falling into danger easily in the future, and for the sake of our mutual friendship, I will personally give you three ring weapons as a gift."

After receiving such a generous gift, Marcus Si stood up and took Soshyan's outstretched hand with both hands. "Thank you very much!"

After Marcus left, Soshyan sat in his personal office, thinking about the impact that the Tribunal meeting might have on the expedition. It is not that he is afraid that the other party will interfere with his command. The Inquisition is still relatively wise in this regard. The main reason is that the Tianshi Chapter has deep grudges with the Inquisition. The two sides do not know whether any new conflicts will break out.

If the Inquisition takes any action against the Tianshi Chapter, as the supreme lord commander and a nominal member of the Sons of Dorne, he must also intervene, but the Inquisition is very powerful. Falling out with them directly may cause a lot of trouble later on.

Maybe he was so absorbed in thought that he didn't notice that Veronica had walked up to him.

It wasn't until the other party poked his face with his finger that Suoshiyang realized this. He turned his head, only to find that the other party was staring at him with his eyebrows raised.

"What's wrong?"

Veronica looked very angry. This expression was rarely seen by Soshyan, and she seemed a little surprised. .

"What happened?"

"Don't you know?"

"Uh-"

"You have to take care of that 11th Company!"

“Huh?”

"The girl they sent over was said to be a member of a crime family. Because she didn't know anything about it, they were extra merciful and let her go, but they asked me to erase her memory and serve as an administrative clerk for the Chapter in the future. I thought that was it at first. After I touched her memory, tut!"

"Oh, that's what Talos told me. What's wrong?"

"The Eleventh Company? Li Lin, is he a little perverted? I even suspect that he has begun to secretly believe in the enemy. Otherwise, how could he be teasing and torturing two young girls as a space warrior? What's the difference between the people of Chaos? The same goes for the 11th Company. Just kill someone. Why torture her like this? Do you know that a girl has to watch her relatives being slaughtered with her own eyes? Her whole spirit has completely collapsed. If If you don’t intervene, you will still be a lunatic even if you wake up."

After listening to this, Soshiyang was silent for a moment and said:

"It was my order."

"You definitely won't let them do this. Your intentions are good. They twisted your orders. I have already had a hunch that Talos's free-range management will definitely make the Eleventh Company fall prey to the cruelty of the Night Lord." Pollution by nature."

"Veronica."

Soshyan held the other person's hand.

“I know better than anyone the style of the 11th Company. Since I sent them, I can predict what will happen. All their actions are my responsibility, and I will not deliberately To avoid this point ignorantly, the heinous crime committed by the Renteria family must be punished, and I want to shock other nobles, and maybe sacrifice some innocent people, but I have no choice, the war has come, I must use all my strength Use all means to win."

Veronica looked at Soshyan's face, which had become a little anxious due to various things during this time, and reached out her hand to gently touch his cheek, whispering. Road:

"You, don't put so much pressure on yourself."
