The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 2843: The Farmer and the Snake (Middle)

"What do you mean it was wrong from the start? You—do you mean we should abandon tens of thousands of people!"

Hearing Hueres's defense, another Inquisitor in armor stepped forward and sternly rebuked:

"If you don't even have this awareness, what kind of Space Marine are you! The Emperor's gift to you is to make you a ruthless killing machine of the Empire, not to be some soft-hearted fool! If you want to be a soft-hearted fool, don't waste that precious gene-seed!"

His words made Jeman Hueres's face flush red, and the arm holding his fist even trembled slightly, but he still restrained himself from yelling.

Soshyan didn't say a word during this process, and there was no expression on his face. He didn't even look at the two Inquisitors, his gaze remained on Vidrian Sino.

Hueres was also a little annoyed and roared:

"Do you still want to judge me!?"

"Heh, that's hard to say, but you may have to leave your battle group temporarily. Jeman Hueres, you are accused of multiple crimes related to aliens. We must take you into custody and interrogate you until we find out the truth. If you don't want to shame your battle group, you'd better cooperate with us."

Sess was about to rush up, but was stopped by Malakin's hand.

"Brother Sess, don't, don't let me harm the Flesh Tearers. This is all my business."

"We sacrificed 412 warriors, they used their lives to save the people who are as humble as dirt in your eyes, and now this has become our crime... I have nothing more to say, arrest us if you want."

Vidrian Sino's gaze turned to Malakin.

But no matter what, some people were rescued. After the fleet arrived at the nearest star system, he simply settled the refugees and immediately went to the Cardinal world to report the news.

Malakin raised his hand excitedly, facing the statue of the Emperor and swearing with a trembling voice.

Of course, the real ruling Cardinal Bishops knew that praying to the Emperor at this time was useless. The only things that could save them were the Empire's army and the Angels.

"In addition, Chapter Master Malakin, it is also necessary to investigate your situation. TheEldar force has no reason to 'help' you for no reason. Although you have always insisted that you have not had any contact with theEldar, this is obviously untenable. I hope you can be more frank, otherwise if the matter is brought to a higher level, there may be many adverse effects on the Lamenters. ThatAeldari force has been identified by the Inquisition as a serious threat, and even the Lord Inquisitor of Terra attaches great importance to it. I believe you certainly don't want to go to Saturn, and now you only need to temporarily transfer your duties to the company commander you trust, and then follow Fortress Master Vidrian Sino to the Watch Fortress for questioning and review, so that you can minimize the impact of the matter."

"May my soul be eternally cast into the abyss if I disobey!"

"Then let you fly first!"

"Fuck you! How dare you talk to the sons of Sanguinius like that! Have we given you too much face!"

"Sess, this is not the place for you to show off your power. Your reputation is already bad enough. If you threaten the Inquisitor again, even Dante can't protect you."

When the scarred Angels arrived here, a terrible message also quietly spread—a deadly and terrifying alien invaded the Emperor's country, and the distant granary Sandheim Five became the first victim, and this abominable alien has been striding towards the Archdiocese!

Although the Cardinal Council immediately ordered the news to be blocked, it was too late. Soon, various inside stories spread from the top to the bottom. The church was crowded with people for a time, and many people prayed to the Emperor day and night, while the Choir of Star Speakers transmitted star language signals to various worlds in theStorm star region day and night.

Strictly speaking, the cause of this incident was not entirely due to theAeldari. If we have to be precise, it is even more chilling.

After leaving the Sandheim star system, Malakin woke up. He didn't know at all that he had been rescued byAeldari. After listening to the descriptions of the company commanders, he realized what had happened. He didn't expect that the Aeldari(灵族: Eldar) would save the day at the last moment.

"I'll let you fly!"

"I have not concealed anything. I am willing to swear with my soul that I have never had anything to do with theEldar. Let alone cooperation, I have not even spoken to them."

Because this proposal involves a Garden World, Venosi III.

Although he already knew what had happened, Soshyan's heart was still full of infinite sorrow when he saw it with his own eyes.

Malakin closed his eyes weakly and raised his head slightly.

"If every oath was useful, the Empire would not need Inquisitors."

"Chapter Master Malakin, I hope you can cooperate with the Inquisitor's investigation. The Eternal Court is a threat no less than theTyranid Zerg, or even more than it. The Zerg are just mindless beasts, and they can be slowed down by mass extinction orders, but theEldar are different. They are liars, schemers, and restorers of the Old Empire. Their behavior must be for another purpose, otherwise they have no reason to save you for no reason, but your blind concealment has shamed the entire battle group and even all the sons of Sanguinius."

Malakin, who had already woken up, then suggested to Patriarch Ignatius II that the population of the most dangerous worlds on theTyranid invasion route should be evacuated first, and that appropriate scorched earth tactics should be carried out. This is a common method used by the Empire to delay theTyranid Hive. This Patriarch himself was in a high position after the game of interests of all parties. In the past, his main job was to mediate and balance the forces of all parties. In fact, he was a person who did not have much opinion. Although he was respectful and submissive to Malakin, he still took this proposal to the Cardinal Council for discussion, and more than half of the Cardinals opposed it.

With things getting like this, Soshyan still didn't say a word, but his eyes became colder and colder.

Just as the chainsword began to roar, the two Inquisitors subconsciously retreated, and several figures stood in front of them.

A rough voice exploded in the hall in an instant, and Sess strode over, carrying his huge chainsword.

Vidrian Sino gripped the sword hanging on his waist, but did not draw it.

This world is the newest Garden World developed by the Archdiocese 1,500 years ago. As a world in a binary star system, Venosi III is characterized by its eternally constant comfortable temperature and picturesque scenery, including huge colorful lakes, wide seas with no giant marine predators. In order to develop this world, many large families spent a lot of money to invite engineering ships and tech-priests from the Adeptus Mechanicus, and it took two hundred years to basically complete it, and once completed, the best-located manors on the planet, such as luxury plateau villas built on towering snow-capped mountains where you can see the vast snow scene when you open the window, or super-large beachfront manors covering hundreds of square kilometers built on the beach, etc., were immediately divided up, many of which were in the names of people related to the Cardinal Bishops. Over the past thousand years, the Cardinals have been replaced generation after generation, and the value of real estate on Venosi has also increased hundreds of times. High-ranking church officials are proud to own a manor there.

Under such circumstances, many people do not agree to burn it to the ground, especially those high-ranking clergy who inherited expensive real estate from their ancestors.
