The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 2930: Papal Envoy

Facing Sotha's question, Talos calmly explained:

"It is precisely for this reason that I put him in charge of recruiting new soldiers. The Night Haunter and Night Lords are dead. In the future, they will all be Night Hunters."

"Night Hunters..."

Sotha pondered for a moment, then smiled.

"It seems you've figured it out too. If you feel the time is right, let me know, and I'll find a way to get a new chapter number from Terra."

"It's too early to say these things. Perhaps these things are not up to you and me. However, this place is very closed off. The construction costs are high, but as you said, it is most convenient to avoid prying eyes and can be used for some bolder experiments."

At this moment, the two slowly walked out of the inner exhibition hall and into the outer exhibition hall. Many people had already gathered here, mainly the warriors and knights of the Eleventh Company, as well as some high-ranking members of the Ecclesiarchy and the Sisters of Battle from the Black Flame Rose Convent. They were divided into several small groups, pointing and commenting on the hundreds of Tyranid biological specimens, and occasionally making various comments and exclamations.

"How many variants of Warrior bugs are there? There are melee types, flying types, and specialized strangulation types... It seems that they change their own structure as easily as we change equipment?"

As soon as they came out, Sotha heard Li Lin's clamor. He and Sablin and others were facing the Warrior bug specimen, which was a flying Warrior.

"Looks good, this is much more interesting than Genestealers. I want to get a Warrior's skull as a collectible, it must be great!"

Hearing another warrior from the Eleventh Company say this, Li Lin curled his lips.

"You're hopeless. What a piece of trash a Warrior bug skull is. If you're going to get one, get a big one!"

Then Li Lin waved his hand and pointed to a serpentine behemoth hanging on the wall, with a brass nameplate hanging in front of it engraved with the name - 'Digger Wyrm'.

"This thing, I want to put one on the bridge!"

Then everyone noticed Sotha and Talos walking out. The Space Marines were nothing, but everyone else bowed in salute, including the proud knights.

"Mathias."

Hearing Sotha call his name, Mathias, wearing shining luxurious knight armor, trotted over immediately, as fast as a restaurant waiter.

"Chapter Master."

Sotha turned to look at Talos, then turned to Mathias and said in a deep voice:

"Captain Talos said that you did a good job in this security operation. The knights also played a very crucial role, greatly reducing casualties and war time."

Mathias responded solemnly:

"It is our responsibility and oath to eliminate every enemy of mankind!"

"Well, there will be more cruel and fierce battles next. You have seen these Tyranid creatures. They are by no means Genestealers, those bugs that can be crushed underfoot. Among them are individuals more terrifying and powerful than knights. Don't underestimate the enemy, don't be careless, carefully formulate each battle plan. I look forward to the performance of the DuPont-Delin family. In addition, Mars has also confirmed that the banner of the DuPont-Delin family has been added to the Knightly Order. Now you are nominally a knight family contracted with Zhao-Akada. What kind of heavy ink will this revived family write in the history of the Empire in the future depends on your performance."

Sotha's words surprised and delighted Mathias. Previously, the DuPont-Delin family was strictly speaking a non-existent knight family, because their banner was not in the Knightly Order of Mars, which meant that they did not have a legal identity in the Empire. Joining the Knightly Order was also one of Grand Duke Olga's last wishes. This matter was accomplished, and he was also the leader who pushed the family to a new peak, which had an extremely strong effect on the assumption of personal prestige.

These words were also heard by other knights, and everyone's reactions were different. Most people showed joy, but some people showed thoughtful expressions, or frowned.

Then Sotha and Talos left here, and everyone was able to enter the inner exhibition hall. At this time, even Li Lin, who was always chattering, fell silent. When they saw the towering Executioner, the knights also turned pale.

"So... the Tyranids have this kind of thing!"

After leaving this place, Sotha took Talos to attend a non-public meeting.

"Hello, respected Chapter Master Sotha."

In a luxurious hall in the Holy City, a clergyman wearing a black cassock, with a neat goatee, shiny black hair, a thin but very energetic face stood in front of Sotha. He had a large hooked nose and dark eyes, fair skin, and several gemstone rings on his outstretched hand.

Behind him were three people, one of whom was a man, tall and wearing a gray rough cassock, with a gray iron mask revealing only two eyes, but the two eyes were unusually sharp, and the pupils were strangely golden. The other two were women, one was a middle-aged noblewoman wearing a unique black gauze nun's habit, with a dignified demeanor, and the other was an old woman wearing a pure white classical nun's habit, with kind eyebrows and eyes.

"Hello, Deacon Ibanxes."

Sotha shook hands with the other party in a friendly manner. This was the person representing the Ecclesiarchy's crusade and support forces, and also a deacon from the Ecclesiarchy headquarters on Terra, as well as a confidant of the current Pope Baldo Slyst, who also had ancient Terran blood. Although Sotha had not met him on Terra before, this person had met Sotha.

Barely considered half an acquaintance.

Then Ibanxes turned and pointed to the silent man who did not show his true face, tall and surrounded by a murderous aura.

"This is Ron from the Silent Brotherhood. You can just call him that. He has taken the vow of eternal silence, so he can only communicate with people using sign language or a writing board."

The Silent Brotherhood, Sotha did not ask what it was, so the Ecclesiarchy brought many things this time, which was not the strangest thing. It can be seen that the Pope of Terra still cares about the survival of a large diocese, after all, this is one of the very few "autonomous territories" of the Ecclesiarchy that are preserved, although it is remote, it can also bring a certain political influence, at least keeping it is not bad, and losing it is a very serious problem. Baldo Slyst, as an extremely conservative Pope, absolutely cannot tolerate the Ecclesiarchy suffering such a blow during his administration, which will also allow his opponents within the Ecclesiarchy to find an excuse to attack.

After introducing the mysterious Ron, Ibanxes pointed to the black gauze nun on the left.

"This is Sister Maya Chuatok, an envoy from the Holy Seal Convent."

The attendant nun then very gracefully curtsied to Sotha.

"Maya Chuatok has met the respected Chapter Master Sotha and Lord Nason."

Updated the war zone map, as well as the location of the protagonist's territories, everyone can simply take a look to get an idea.
