Chapter 1701: Expedition to the Dark Side

Marcus sneered.

“But as long as I say hello, there will be at least ten specially modified sniper rifles shooting at you. They are all equipped with anti-psychic bullets.”

Cleudes She took another step toward him, her face covered with straps showing no expression.

“Do you really think those mortals can hurt me?”

"I only believe that there is nothing that cannot be killed."

The other party stopped and suddenly laughed.

"Well, since he chose you, it makes sense."

"Who?"

"Soshyan Alexei."


Marcus' expression suddenly became serious.

"I do not belong to any party, I only serve the Emperor."

"But he needs your help, and you also need his help. The secret turmoil of this expedition will be A lot."

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"This expedition to the High Lords Council was actually full of disagreements, but it was ultimately driven by certain forces. And I represent those forces.”

As he spoke, Claudes walked towards the broken angel sculpture on the side, then stretched out his hand and pinched it gently, then pinched a piece of plaster from the sculpture. At the same time, the plaster quickly turned into the shape of a small white porcelain cup with curls. .

Then he turned around and handed the thing to Marcus.

"At the critical moment, give this thing to Soshyan, and he will trust you unconditionally."

Marcus hesitated for a moment and took the thing.

“I still don’t understand.”

"Although the expedition resolution was passed, a considerable number of high lords are extremely opposed. Torquemada is only their first step. You probably don't know that he also brought the Red Hunter this time."

"The Red Hunters!?"

The Red Hunters Chapter is one of the few Space Marine Chapters to worship the Emperor of Mankind as a god, due to the close relationship between the Chapter and the three Inquisitions. , so much so that it is rumored that they were founded at the request of representatives of the Inquisition on Terra, and that there is a secret agreement of mutual support between the Inquisition and the Chapter, often ordered to face the Destroying Powers. Servants and other enemies of humanity.

In addition, due to the support of the Inquisition, the Chapter's equipment is better than most Chapters, especially the first company equipped with a large number of Indomitable Terminators.

When Marcus heard the news, he was surprised at first, and then looked angry, because Torquemada brought this battle group, but always kept it secret. It was obvious that he had an ulterior goal, and this The target is likely to be the expeditionary force, or Soshyan.

"Don't they understand the consequences of the failure of the expedition?"

"History tells us one thing, that is, people will never remember history."

Marcus lowered his head and thought for a moment, when He looked at Claudes again, his eyes even more confused.

“I don’t understand, who are you serving? I have recalled all the Grand Inquisitors of Terra, but none of them have such a motive. Judging from your tone, this expedition seems to be a It’s a fierce game, so what are the core interests of the game?”

“It’s not good for you to know so much now. You only need to know that on the surface I am serving Eramus Krall. But. "It turns out to be Lord Eramus Krall. No wonder Torquemada is so afraid of you."

Eramus Krall is the senior Grand Inquisitor of the Rebellion Order. He is famous for trying the Radical leader Adamara Rasillo and the Navigator Lord Leo who are also Grand Inquisitors. Puth Frank is known for his heretical crimes and is currently the Inquisition's representative on the High Lords' Council.

“Why is he pushing for this expedition? Is there a lot of opposition from the Terran Tribunal headquarters? I don’t think the High Lord may be able to summon Torquemada. There must be other Grand Inquisitors among them. Adding fuel to the flames, how did Lord Eramus Klauer push this matter forward despite internal disagreement? "

"You don't need to know that much"

Maku. Si stared at Cleudes' eyes that were so profound that they could take away a person's soul, and then nodded slowly.

"It seems that I have to be involved, but I still have to know who the person I am collaborating with is. Cleudes is a pseudonym, right."

Cleaudes shakes shook his head.

"Is the name important?"

"We are all psychics, you should understand whether the name is important, otherwise we will have no basis for trust."

The other party extended Hold out a finger.

"Think clearly. Once you know, you will never be able to escape."

"It sounds like I can escape without knowing. I have already seen it. You have chosen me as your representative to go to the search." I am willing to accept this task as long as Shi Yang is around to help him, but there is only one condition."

"It seems that I have to regain your trust, okay, you can call me, Li Tu."< br>
After saying that, he took steps and walked towards the dilapidated gate of the courtyard.

"But now I need to remind you - be careful. If you are killed by others, you will not be able to help me at all. This fight will be very cruel and many people will die."< br>


Marcus sighed and shook his head.

"The enemy is right in front of us. Do the emperor's loyal servants still fight in the shadows?"

At this time, the opponent has disappeared into the shadow of the gate.

After Marcus left here, he quickly went to Sagan Prime to meet with Soshyan and basically informed Soshyan of the meeting. Of course, there was no information about Cleudes and his spies. Speak up.

Soshiyang was not surprised that the Tribunal targeted him, but the other party also intended to target the Tianshi Chapter, which surprised him and made him vigilant.

Fortunately, Marcus told Soshyan that everything is still in its infancy. No matter what conspiracy the other party has, it will not be launched so quickly. There is still time to prepare for the response. As for the Red Hunters Chapter, it is still there. Not sure if they have reached the maelstrom area, but Marcus estimates that it won't be that early.

Then he roughly revealed to Soshyan the game of the expedition in the High Lords Council, and hinted that Soshyan would have many small moves from Terra in the future, and he needed to pay attention to them at all times.

After realizing that Marcus had indeed decided to stand on his side, Soshyan was not stingy and appointed him as the chief intelligence officer of the expeditionary force with a stroke of his pen, giving him a seat in the war headquarters. .

When Torquemada slowly arrived at Sagan Prime, he was immediately poured cold water on him. The position he originally expected was actually occupied by Marcus, and Soshyan simply talked with him. He held a meeting, discussed the current situation of the expedition and then left him alone.

On Marcus's side, with the title of Chief Intelligence Officer of the Expeditionary Force, he began to contact the inquisitors who were dissatisfied with Torquemada in an attempt to establish an intelligence alliance.

In this unpredictable atmosphere, the empire's expedition against the Maelstrom slowly kicked off a cruel and fierce prelude——
