Chapter 2640 Deserter?
Alexey Koch’s eyes were very sharp, completely inconsistent with his age of more than two hundred years. The moment he came in, everyone felt the merciless scrutiny sweeping over them. However, they are all chapter leaders or company commanders, and no mortal has ever dared to look at them like this.
But this man dares.
And following him in, there were more than twenty crusaders from the state religion. They wore expensive force feedback power armor, held large shields and power swords, and walked in unison like battle robots.
In addition to the twenty Crusader guards, there are also the Inquisitor's semi-mechanically modified scribe, two psykers, four Death Cult assassins, four state religion fanatics carrying torches, and ten A storm trooper, as well as other miscellaneous warriors and scholars, sixty or seventy people poured in in a mighty manner.
Bahram immediately realized that this was not just a meeting, but also a threat, a display of power.
Finally, after walking to the center of the hall, the Grand Tribunal stopped wearing his black leather boots and glanced left and right. After briefly staying on Bahram, his eyes settled on Alt. On Kus.
The Inquisition slightly pulled up its pale lips, revealing its gold teeth, and joked:
"Captain Artkus, your legs are so fast, our battleship engine I ran and exploded without catching up with you. If only you could use this energy to destroy the enemies of the emperor."
Although he was smiling, there was no trace of smile in his eyes. On the contrary. More and more grim.
Artkus's eyes twitched, and then he snorted and replied:
"Where we go is our freedom, and we don't need to report to anyone."
"Oh? 伱Have you forgotten that you are on an atonement expedition? That's easy, I can sign the excommunication order on the spot."
"We will not break the oath! Enemies of the Emperor! But this does not mean that we cannot contact other Astartes brothers!"
"The Chapter of the Atonement Crusade must be placed under the supervision of the Inquisition. I hope you remember this."< br>
"This is the rule of the Tribunal."
At this time, Arash suddenly spoke.
“The original idea of the Atonement Crusade was the self-exile of the Astartes Chapter for redemption, without the need for anyone to supervise it. This is a rule imposed by the Inquisition.”
Alec Sai withdrew his gaze from Artkus and looked at Arash with some contempt and ridicule.
“Leader of the Arash Chapter, leader of the Alash Alliance, is it an extremely naive idea to expect a sinner who has committed a crime to reflect and atone for his sins alone without supervision? ?”
"The Emperor is our guardian."
"Ha."
Alexei pointed at Artkus with his staff and smiled:
"If they If you really care about the Emperor, you will not collect those heretical things unscrupulously. Chapter Master Arash, don't be blinded by the false brotherhood. They are a group of cunning speculators. If they have the slightest chance, It is very likely that they will continue their depraved career, and the only way is to keep them under constant surveillance."
With a swish, Artkus directly drew his bolter. This move also caused the Inquisitor's Crusaders to react immediately and instantly formed a shield wall to protect the master within it. Others also took out their weapons.
Artkus pointed his gun at the opponent and roared:
"If you continue to slander us with that foul mouth, no matter how powerful you are, I will definitely kill you!"
"Captain Artkus, don't get excited."
Bahram was worried that things would get out of hand, so he quickly walked over and held down the opponent's arm, but Mazar, who was not far away, remained silent. Fa, still standing under the shrine gently stroking his beard with his hands, as if he was an outsider.
Behind the shield wall, Alexei faced the Space Marine's bolter without fear and replied coldly: "Slander? Why did the inquisitor who monitored you before leave? Do you need me to tell you? Everyone? Well, since you think it doesn't matter, the Fire Claw Chapter has only participated in three battles in the past thirty years of the Redemption Crusade. Once it was to 'suppress' a rebellion of tens of thousands, and twice it was to eliminate two groups. The green-skinned pirates are so small that they can only rob passing civilian ships. They spend most of their time wandering aimlessly in the void for various reasons. They turn a blind eye to the Inquisitor's instructions or use various prevarications, even though there are more than a billion people in the galaxy nearby. People are being attacked by green-skinned warlords. Millions of Astra Militarum and several Chapters are fighting, but they turn a blind eye. Even the Inquisitors who monitor them cannot accept such a cowardly performance and leave on their own to assist in the battle."
“Fart!”
Artkus interrupted the Grand Inquisitor sharply.
"Who finally ended the life of that filthy beast by beheading it? And who destroyed dozens of budding Chaos Cults? When we were summoned by the cultists in the bottom hive, When the Chaos Demons are fighting, your eyes are like blindness! You only focus on the immediate threats and ignore the greater dangers that will break out in the future."
"This is not a reason for you to fight. , or you can ask the opinions of the chapter leaders around you, which chapter still maintains such complete strength after the Atonement Crusade?”
Seeing that Artkus was getting more and more excited, Bahram asked Arash to calm him down, then turned around and said:
"Judge Alexei, that's not what you said. Every war group has His own tactical style and casualties are not merit, but a shame for the commander.”
Hearing this, Alexei waved his hand, and then the shield formation in front of him retreated to both sides.
He looked at the warrior who was obviously not the Chapter Leader again, and then asked:
"Which of the Astral Knights is it?"
"Tenth Company Commander, Bahram."
"Oh, Tenth Company Commander, do you think there is nothing wrong with Fire Claw's behavior?"
Bahram smiled slightly when he heard this. A smile.
"Then Inquisitor, which one do you think is more threatening, a mortal Chaos believer or a huge Chaos Legion with millions of people?"
The Inquisitor looked at Bahram and thought for a moment Then he replied:
"That must be the latter."
"Well, in 321.M37, the so-called Saint Barius pronounced thirty warbands guilty and banished them to the Eye of Terror for the Atonement Crusade, and finally Only one Chapter returned, and nearly 30,000 Space Marines died or rebelled. In the end, it turned out that Barius was just a Chaos heretic. He even got a good death, but he caused more damage than any Chaos Legion. Large, so I don’t think there is anything wrong with the idea of Chapter Master Artokus. The hidden dangers that cannot be seen are often the biggest.”
“Then can they evade the war obligations they should fulfill. ?"
"Why do you think they are evading their war obligations?"
"The Inquisitor who monitored them sent me an invitation, hoping that I could urge the Fire Claws to go. The battlefield they should go to.”
"The battlefield we should go to?"
Bahram seemed to have grasped the key point. He glanced back at Artkus, then turned to the inquisitor and asked:
"What you said The battlefield is."
"The Jericho Sector"
"The Achilles Expedition."
"Yes, my mission is to supervise their journey to the Jericho sector and destroy the enemies of the emperor."
