Chapter 1947 Bad Things (Part 2)
The third thing came from Sagan, and it was also the thing that made Soshyan the most angry. The Astra Militarum general staff officer he appointed, Yarrick, had an affair with that Tai A fierce dispute broke out between the Rath envoys, and they were detained by the Minotaur warband for offending the authority of the high lords and blaspheming Terra. Although they were immediately released later, there was no doubt that it was a provocation to Soshyan, and that The special envoy also claimed in a high-profile manner that the military tickets issued by Soshyan for the expedition were illegal and a terrible means of plunder, which greatly affected the credibility of the military tickets. In addition, the fierce fighting during this period also caused Reza's transportation to be affected. To a certain extent, military coupons in some areas cannot be redeemed in time, so there has been a certain degree of depreciation, but it should still be under control.
The last thing, Soshiyang is no longer angry, his heart is just cold -
Dark Angel made it clear before that they are here to capture the fallen angels, Soshyan had been worried that they would cause some trouble, but they had not done anything excessive so far, so he was relieved. Unexpectedly, Samuel directly broke the big news to him.
This news first came from Marcus, then Samuel, and finally Corsaro. After the three news were combined, the situation is as follows.
Samuel discovered the whereabouts of the Fallen Angels in the Grief Galaxy, so he led his men secretly to the Grief 2 planet to capture them.
But Sorrow 2 is a densely populated world, and Samuel's capture operation was greatly affected. What's even more terrifying is that he discovered that the leader of the fallen angels was a demon prince - this is Samuel. Muir personally informed Soshyan, but he did not mention the name of the demon prince.
At that time, Samuel ordered full firepower to annihilate this gang of traitors. However, although the opponents were small in number, they were very capable and hid in the nest. Samuel chased them all the way from the bottom of the nest. On the upper nest, they finally blocked the opponent in the upper nest, and it was here that several reports diverged.
The first is the Inquisition. They believe that the Dark Angels made some crazy move for some unknown purpose-
dropping weapons of destruction.
Samuel directly used phosphorus weapons to burn the upper levels of the hive.
However, the traitors were not caught in the end, but that would be it if it really came to this.
Unfortunately, there was an Inquisitor performing a mission in the hive city at that time. Samuel's behavior immediately alerted the other party, and then he most likely saw the Fallen Angel and witnessed the Dark Angel burning on the ground. Fortunately, Samuel noticed it in time, implemented Caliban's regulations, and killed the inquisitor and his followers. (Report from Corsaro)
But it is impossible to completely cover up the matter when it is so big. After all, hundreds of thousands of people died in the phosphorus fire, and they were all residents of the nest. Although Samuel Cleverly, they threw some corpses of Chaos Space Marines at the scene and forged records of the appearance of a Chaos warship. However, the Inquisition heard the news and immediately discovered some clues, as well as the disappearance of one of their colleagues. .
According to the information returned by Marcus, the Inquisition has basically guessed that the Dark Angel did this. However, there is currently no evidence. Samuel’s hands are still very clean, so he is still there. During the investigation, if there is really evidence that it was the Dark Angel, Samuel will definitely be labeled as excommunicated and rebellious.
Setting fire to the hive resulted in the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of people, and also killed the inquisitors. This was a naked provocation to the empire. The inquisitors of the Maelstrom vowed to investigate the truth even if they fought against the Dark Angels to the death.
Marcus's meaning is also very clear. Although he is Soshyan's ally, he is still a member of the Tribunal. He must stand on the Tribunal's side in this matter.
After Corsaro heard about the tragedy of the Grief Galaxy, he blocked Samuel who was going to Angstrom in the Galen System. The two then had a fierce verbal conflict, and Corsaro Luo thought Samuel was crazy and had given up a warrior's dignity and personality for an unknown goal. Samuel did not give any explanation and left silently with the team. The enraged Corsaro strongly suggested that Soshiyan kick the Dark Angels out of the expeditionary force, otherwise these people would cause big trouble sooner or later.
After Samuel came to Angstrom, his defense was much more straightforward. He personally briefly described the entire incident to Soshyan, and then told Soshyan, That demon prince is very, very dangerous and must be eliminated, otherwise it will definitely pose a huge threat to the expedition, and he has already sent a message to the giant stone. The main force of the Dark Angel is likely to arrive in the near future.
In addition, Samuel also swore that he would never set fire to the nest, and that those phosphorus weapons were placed in the upper nest in advance by the traitors. This was a despicable trap for the Dark Angels, and because he realized this situation and was unable to argue, Samuel had to kill the inquisitor who witnessed the competition. It was better to make a mistake than to have the other party put the matter on the table.
Soshiyan believes that Master Ravenwing is by no means a lunatic. On the contrary, Samuel has always presented himself as a calm and thoughtful person, so it is enough to prompt him to perform such an almost rebellious behavior. It shows that the demon prince is indeed dangerous. As for burning the nest city, the other party probably won't really do it, but because it involves fallen angels, it is difficult to explain it.
In a sense, this trap is indeed clever and vicious. It completely pinched the weakness of the Dark Angels, leaving them unable to defend themselves. They had to use the most radical method to cover up the incident, but it also led to the complete destruction of the Maelstrom Tribunal. Hostile.
In addition, Samuel also revealed another piece of information, that is, the Inquisitor also had a follower who was far away from the scene due to wind protection or other reasons, and ran away for him immediately. Now there is a high probability that Still hiding in the planet's hive, this person may hold key evidence, but now they can no longer return to the planet to deal with it, because the Inquisition's spies are everywhere.
Sushyan suddenly understood Azrael's mood of wiping the interrogation priest's butt over and over again.
However, he now had to wipe Samuel's butt. The Dark Angel had given him a lot of support in the early stages of the expedition, and Azriel was worthy of his brother. He couldn't do it at this time, either emotionally or rationally. Stay out of the matter, and if the matter is not handled well, it will easily give Terra an excuse.
But it was not convenient for the expeditionary force to come forward for this kind of thing, so Soshyan called Sorge, who was still conducting trade negotiations with the short man, and asked him to arrange people to find the escaped inquisitor's entourage, alive. If you want to see a dead person, you must see a corpse. If you really can't catch him, you must silence him.
In short, no matter what the cost, this matter must be suppressed and all those involved must keep their mouths shut.
In the past few years, Sorge has relied on various conveniences provided by the expeditionary force, as well as overt and covert financial and personnel support. His career has developed rapidly, and he has successively annexed the territories of several subordinate mortal organizations of the Red Pirates. And business, the Thirteen Silver Coin Society was uprooted, all the senior staff were killed, and all the businesses under the banner were wiped out, making him a famous underworld tycoon in the Maelstrom.
After receiving Soshiyang's instruction, he immediately summoned a group of his most capable killers, spent a lot of money to hire several gold medal assassins from the Death Worship Cult, and secretly headed to the Grief Galaxy as soon as possible.
After arranging these things, Soshyan was almost exhausted mentally and physically. He temporarily put down what he was doing and planned to go back to the bedroom to take a nap to calm down.
But the moment he opened the door, a soft body suddenly jumped into his arms with the fragrance of plants.
"Hi! Surprise?"
