Chapter 2804: Bite back
". This is not an accusation, because there is a logic involved here. If you want to get a powerful enough chaos weapon, you must be strong enough yourself, because these things often have owners. In other words, they will choose their own masters, but you don’t focus on your own strength, so you are always chasing something of a lower grade.”
Before the other party could speak, Soshiyang raised his hand.
“Don’t get me wrong, I am not sarcastic, I just hope you can understand that instead of trying your best to collect those unstable and dangerous things, it is better to find ways to strengthen the battle group itself. One more battleship is not as good as Wouldn't it be great to have an extra demon-possessed sword? With so many think tanks in your warband, prepare some more psychic weapons, some modified armors and terminators. You see, like the Gray Knights, their combat effectiveness is not weak even without chaos weapons. , after joining the Suffering Alliance, you have more righteous paths to follow, and there is no need to follow those crooked paths. The alliance has the support of the Mechanicus, and has a lot of advanced public equipment. We are all fighting brothers, and we can talk openly about anything. "
After listening to Soshyan's words, Artkus fell into a brief silence, and it could be seen that his heart was ups and downs.
After a while, the battle group let out a long sigh and said:
"You are right, maybe we are too focused on external forces and ignore our own strength."
"We are the only ones here. "Two of you, let's talk about it, what happened to the Sin Catcher?"
When Soshyan mentioned the name Sin Catcher, Artkus' expression changed, and Soshyan immediately spoke to comfort him. :
"Don't worry, I didn't go out to investigate your group. It's just that a distinguished guest from Huangquan No. 8 visited our Chapter Monastery not long ago. During the chat, he accidentally mentioned that your group used to be Huangquan No. 8. After dealing with this scrap ship, it seems that your group’s collection of chaos weapons also started at that time, so.”
After thinking for a moment, Artkus said slowly:
"The radical Inquisitor De Marche discovered that the hulk was hiding an entire warband composed of the Fallen Thousand Sons and other Chaos Space Marines. , it is led by a Chaos Champion of Tzeentch known as "The Destroyer". It plans to use the hulk to attract the attention of Underworld 8, and then find a way to steal an alien relic from Underworld 8's vault. , so the Inquisitor commanded the cruiser to be paralyzed when the hulk first entered the Underworld Galaxy, and cooperated with our think tank director Decario and his Terminator team to jump to help the crime catcher, but the Chaos Champion holding a demonic weapon was extremely Powerful, the demonic weapon he held could easily cut through the Terminator armor. Even the Terminator armor and power sword of the Librarian were cut open at the same time. Decario had to fight back with his fist and smashed the Chaos Champion's sword. It was torn off along with his hand. Although he was seriously injured and defenseless, the Destroyer used his psychic powers to knock Decario to the ground and killed four Terminator warriors. Decario grabbed the nearest weapon. Attack the Chaos Champion and cut off his head from his neck. When he came to his senses, he realized that the weapon he picked up was the Chaos Champion's demonic weapon. Later, Decaario introduced De Marche to me. He told me that Chaos weapons are a weapon that the Empire can use to counter Chaos and should not be destroyed directly as per standard regulations."
Soshiyan blinked.
“You just accepted it?”
“I, I believe in Decario’s judgment, and as one of the Governor Chapters guarding the Eye of Terror, we have been the most common in the past. The enemy is the traitor of Chaos, and every time we deal with the invasion, we have to pay a high price. Maybe this is indeed a way.”
Soshyan rubbed his forehead.
"Well, these are all things in the past, and there is no point in talking about it. Now we have to deal with the troubles in the Tribunal first."
"The Fourth Company was indeed—— "
"It doesn't matter what the truth is anymore. No one can provide evidence about what happened at that time. Besides, the Inquisition never makes decisions based on evidence. They are here now for the Suffering Alliance. "
"What do you plan to do."
"Self-proof is useless now, the only way is-"
Soshiyang narrowed his eyes and whispered those two words.
“Counterclaim!”
“Counterclaim?” Artkus frowned. His warrior’s brain could not even imagine Soshyan’s subtext, so Soshyan could only explain further. Road:
"You turned from the accused to the accuser, and in turn accused Alexey Koch."
"Huh? What are you accusing him of?"
"Rebellion."
“Huh???”
Although he hated Alexey Koch, Artkus never thought that this famous exclusive inquisitor would rebel, so his eyes were instinctive His eyes widened, but Soshyan just smiled.
"This is the only way we can resolve the conflict without having a direct conflict with the Tribunal."
"Yes"
Finally, Artkus realized what Soshyan was referring to. What, this shocked him even more than when he saw the demon weapon for the first time.
But looking into Soshiyan's eyes, he knew that he had no choice, because this was the only way to clear the name of the war group.
“What to do?”
"I have sent people to find a hidden stronghold in Alexei, a luxurious monastery manor located in the capital of Kuat. There have been several followers of the inquisitor disguised as monks stationed there for a long time. I will send people to arrest them at that time. , and then your group will put all the things that are difficult to deal with. When everything is ready, we will come and take the stolen goods one by one, and beat Alexei as a Chaos traitor. This Hulk Operation was caused by his collusion with the devil. He tried to entrap the Relic Chapter, but was eventually discovered and reaped the consequences, getting the fate that all traitors deserve."
In fact, there is a subtext here for Soshyan, although Artekus did it at the beginning. He didn't understand, but after noticing the stern look the other party was looking at him, he realized - he, Soshiyan, could save the Relic Chapter, but the Relic Chapter had to wipe its own butts and give up those chaos weapons completely.
This is a piece of advice and a warning.
If the Relic Chapter does not obey, then all traitors will deserve the fate they deserve, not just Alexei.
In the past, if someone dared to threaten him so nakedly, Artekus would be furious, but now he only feels cold sweat and has no idea of disobedience at all.
"This Tribunal will investigate, I'm afraid it's not easy to fool."
"The truth is not important, and I have no intention of actually turning Alexei into a traitor. What can I say? Some things are best Don't investigate too much, what if something is found? The Inquisition is more afraid of being investigated than any other faction. Not many of them have clean butts. Besides, it is mainly the Inquisitors of the Exclusive Faction who are making the attack this time. Aren't you afraid that the inquisitors of other factions will catch this? The best way to deal with the Inquisition is to use their factional conflicts. Don't they all boast that they are heroes who can distinguish right from wrong and punish evil? Then let the heroes investigate the heroes? , let the heroes check the heroes!”
