Chapter 2843 The Farmer and the Snake (Part 2)
"What do you mean it was wrong from the beginning? You - do you mean that we have to give up thousands of people!"
After hearing Juarez's defense, another inquisitor in armor stepped forward and sternly accused:
"If you don't even have this awareness, what kind of Space Marine do you think you are! The Emperor gave you the The gift is for you to become a ruthless killing machine of the empire, not for you to be a bad person! If you want to be a bad person, don’t waste that precious gene seed!”
His words made Germaine Juarez happy! Si's face suddenly turned red, and his arms that clenched his fists even trembled slightly, but he still restrained himself from yelling.
Soshyan said nothing during this process and had no expression on his face. He did not even look at the two inquisitors. His eyes remained on Vidrian Xino.
Juarez was also a little annoyed and roared:
“Do you still want to judge me!?”
“Oh, it’s hard to say, but I’m afraid you You have to leave your Chapter for a while, Germaine Juarez. You have been charged with multiple xeno-related crimes. We must take you into custody and interrogate you until the truth of the matter is revealed. If you do not wish to cover up the Chapter. If you are shy, you'd better cooperate with us."
"In addition, Captain Malakin, regarding your situation, it is also necessary to accept our investigation. There is no reason for the Eldar forces to come to help for no reason. 'You, although you have always insisted that you have no contact with the Eldar, this is obviously untenable. I hope you can be more honest. Otherwise, if the matter reaches a higher level, it may be difficult for the Weeper. There will be many adverse effects. The Ada has been recognized as a serious threat by the Inquisition, and even the Lord Inquisitor of Terra takes it very seriously. I believe you definitely don’t want to go to Saturn, and now you only need to temporarily Transfer the position to your trusted company commander, and then follow Lord Vidrian Signor to the Watcher's Fortress for questioning and review, so as to minimize the impact of the matter."
Although he already knew what happened, when he saw it with his own eyes, Soshiyang still felt infinite sadness in his heart.
Malakin closed his eyes weakly and raised his head slightly.
“We sacrificed 412 soldiers. They used their lives to save people who are as humble as dirt in your eyes. Now this has become our crime. I have nothing to say anymore. If you want to arrest you, then arrest you. "
"Fuck you! How dare you talk to the son of Sanguinius like this! I'm giving you too much face!"
A rough voice suddenly sounded in the hall. There was an explosion, and Seth strode over, carrying his huge chainsword.
"I'll let you fly!"
Just when the chain saw started roaring and the two inquisitors subconsciously stepped back, several figures stopped in front of them.
"Seth, this is not a place for you to act arrogant. Your reputation is bad enough. If you threaten the inquisitor, Dante will not be able to protect you."
Vedrian Xino holds He held the sword hanging at his waist but did not unsheath it.
“Then let you fly first!”
Seth was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Malakin's hand. "Brother Seth, don't, you can't hurt the Flesh Tearer because of me. This is all my fault."
Vedrian Xino turned his eyes to Malakin .
“Captain Malakin, I hope you can cooperate with the Inquisitor’s investigation. The Eternal Court is a threat that is no less than the Tyranid Zerg, and even greater than it. The Zerg are just mindless beasts. Through Mass extermination orders can also slow them down, but the Eldar are different. They are liars, conspirators, and restorers of the old empire. Their actions must have ulterior motives, otherwise they have no reason to save you for no reason, but you blindly Concealment has brought shame to the entire Chapter and even all the Sons of Sanguinius."
"I have concealed nothing. I am willing to swear on my soul that I have never had an affair with the Eldar, let alone. Cooperation, not even a word was said.”
Malakin raised his hands excitedly, facing the statue of the Emperor and swore with trembling words.
"If you violate it, your soul will fall into the abyss forever!"
"If every oath was useful, the empire would not need judges."
Things turned out like this. Soshyan still said nothing, but his eyes became colder and colder.
Strictly speaking, the cause of this incident is not entirely because of Ada. If you have to explain it in detail, it is even more chilling.
After leaving the Sondheim system, Malakin woke up. He had no idea that he had been rescued by Ada. After listening to the descriptions of the company commanders, he realized what happened. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, it turned out to be the Eldar. Come to the rescue.
But no matter what, some people were rescued. After the fleet arrived at the nearest star system, he simply resettled the refugees, and then immediately went to the Cardinal World to report the news.
When the scarred angels came here, a terrible news also spread quietly - a deadly and terrifying alien invaded the kingdom of the God-Emperor, the distant granary Sondheim Five The number became the first victim, and this abominable alien has already made strides towards the Archdiocese!
Although the Council of Cardinals immediately ordered the news to be blocked, it was already too late. Soon all kinds of gossip spread from the top to the bottom. The church was overcrowded for a while, and many people prayed to the emperor day and night. The Astropath Choir spreads astropathic signals to all worlds in the Storm Star Territory day and night.
Of course, the truly powerful cardinals knew that it was useless to pray to the emperor at this time. The only things that could save them were the army of the empire and the angels.
Malakin, who had regained consciousness, immediately suggested to Patriarch Ignatius II that the population of the most dangerous worlds on the Tyranid invasion route should be evacuated first, and appropriate clearings be carried out, that is, a scorched earth strategy. This was the empire's A commonly used method to delay the Tyranid Hive. The Patriarch himself came to power after competing for the interests of all parties. In the past, his main job was to reconcile the mud and balance the forces of all parties. In fact, he himself is not very independent. Although he was respectful and obedient to Malakin, he still brought the proposal to the Council of Cardinals for discussion. As a result, more than half of the cardinals opposed it.
Because this proposal involves a garden world, Winocee Three.
This world is the latest garden world developed by the Archdiocese 1,500 years ago. As a world in a binary star system, Winoshi III is characterized by a constant comfortable temperature and picturesque scenery. The scenery includes a huge colorful lakeside, a wide sea but no giant ocean predators. In order to develop this world, many big families spent a lot of money to invite engineering ships and technical priests from the Mechanicus, spending two years. It took a hundred years to basically complete it, but once completed, the manor with the best location on the planet, such as a plateau luxury villa built on a towering snow-capped mountain where you can see the vast snowy scenery as soon as you open the window, or built on a beach covering hundreds of square kilometers The huge seaside estates, etc., were immediately divided up. Many of the properties were under the names of people related to the cardinals. Over a thousand years have passed, and the cardinals have been replaced from generation to generation. The real estate value in Winocchi It has also increased hundreds of times, and the church leaders are proud to own a manor there.
Under such circumstances, many people would not agree to burn it down, especially those high-ranking clergy who inherited expensive real estate from their ancestors.
