The Emperor’s Angel of Death

#3169 - Witnesses and evidence

Akturus turned around and began to introduce the other two.

"This is Judge Jona, and this is Judge Kunsa, both core members of the Secret Society."

"Everyone, I am very happy to see humans who can understand and communicate with each other, especially among... your Emperor's servants."

Star Disaster simply glanced at them, and before saying that lofty title, he paused, as if he was going to say something else, but in the end, he didn't.

"We have always hoped to establish formal contact with the Royal Court, which is beneficial to both races. The galaxy is under the threat of the Chaos Storm and dark enemies invading from outside the system. Fighting is a lose-lose situation, and cooperation is a win-win situation."

"Very well, your understanding is far beyond my expectations, Lord Akturus. The tides of time and space are being stirred by the winds of evil. We can only put down our disputes when destruction comes. Although we are still fighting each other now, this invitation is to solve an obstacle. I presume you all know about the attack on the Penitent Brotherhood by enemies impersonating the Royal Court?"

"Skaman has informed us of this matter."

"The Covenant of Sorrow is a powerful force in the human empire and an important force against darkness and destruction. We have no reason to attack them. After investigation, we have determined that this attack was planned by Gomorrah's Blackheart Cabal, with the aim of provoking conflict between the Royal Court and the Empire. This is a very simple divisive tactic."

"I am willing to believe your statement, but this is not easy to explain. For most people in the Empire, even the Astartes, the Eldar society is still a completely unfamiliar black box."

"Anyone with a little rationality can understand that the Royal Court has no intention of engaging in military conflict with the Empire. We have too many common enemies at the moment, including Gomorrah, which is a tumor of our race and a nightmare of the galaxy. The purpose of inviting you here is to increase mutual understanding and trust, and secondly, to solve this problem with the help of the Isha Witch Secret Society."

Akturus glanced at his companions and nodded.

"We are naturally willing to help. Currently, this incident has not yet fermented and remains only within the Covenant of Sorrow. This is the only good news. Brother Skaman has some connections with the Astartes of the Covenant of Sorrow, but... not very deep. Most Astartes do not trust the Inquisition. I hope you can understand this, especially when we often have to wear masks and play roles we don't like."

"The Royal Court has been paying attention to the Covenant of Sorrow for a long time. They have an important position in the future. This is why we helped the Lamenters and assisted in the fight against the Tyranids. I believe they can also feel the goodwill of the Royal Court."

At this time, Skaman suddenly interjected:

"Chapter Master Malakin of the Covenant of Sorrow and Chapter Master Sorsaryan are considered to be more open-minded. In my opinion, their perception of the Royal Court is much better than that of other Chapter Masters. Perhaps this could be a breakthrough?"

Star Disaster nodded, gently raised his hand, and then several Golden Guard walked out of the webway gate,押着two people with somewhat dull faces. From the facial decorations, it can be seen that they are Gomorrah Eldar.

"After days of tracking and investigation, the Royal Court has obtained sufficient evidence that the one who attacked the Penitent is the Gomorrah pirate duke Travellias Slyskus, who attacked Fenris two hundred years ago. The human empire should still have records, and the one who instructed him is the master of the Blackheart Cabal, the ruler of Gomorrah, Vect. These two are middle-level members of the Blackheart Cabal. They were captured by the Royal Court not long ago and confessed to planning the attack on the Penitent. The Royal Court can hand them over to you as evidence."

Akturus turned around, carefully looked at the two Pleasure Seekers of the Cabal for a while, and then looked at the Star Disaster Prophet and said softly:

"There is no extra content in their minds, right?"

As a senior inquisitor, and an Inquisition proficient in psychic powers, Akturus could see at a glance that these two Dark Eldar had undergone psychic interrogation and brainwashing, and only some content would be retained in their heads.

"Just to be safe."

Akturus thought for a while and nodded.

"This evidence is probably enough."

At this time, Star Disaster clapped his hands again, and then an airship slowly drove out of the webway and landed. When the ramp door opened, a group of hooded, ragged people walked down the ship in a line, shoulder to shoulder, like ants, about a hundred people, all looking very thin and weak.

"These are residents of Bosullus who were looted to Gomorrah. The Royal Court spent a lot of effort to rescue some of them. On the one hand, it is to express sincerity, and on the other hand, they can also be used as evidence. The Royal Court has not done anything extra to them, but only treated their injuries."

The reason why these people were able to be rescued was also thanks to the Iron Thorn Lord Cabal. After learning that the Royal Court had won a great victory over the Gomorrah fleet in the naval battle, Aberhake, who had already received instructions, did not continue to procrastinate. He secretly bought a batch of slaves from the Gomorrah slave market as soon as possible, mixing in hundreds of residents looted from Bosullus—not that he was unwilling to save too many, but if he bought too many residents of Bosullus at once, it would be easily discovered by Vect. Although there are many twists and turns in this, Vect is good at discovering clues from details. Aberhake knows this master of the Youdu too well, so he can only be very careful.

Akturus couldn't help but lower his head to show his respect to this prophet, and then walked among those people. After psychic examination, he confirmed that they were only hypnotized and only needed a signal to wake up.

"With these, it should be enough, but the execution of this plan will take some time, because being too hasty may cause unnecessary suspicion. We need to pretend to conduct a capture operation, create action records, and then contact the Covenant of Sorrow."

"Everything is arranged by you. The Royal Court is happy to make friends with those who are committed to maintaining the balance and peace of the galaxy."

As he spoke, four Golden Guard stepped forward and opened the boxes in their hands. Star Disaster picked up one of them, a simple but detailed ring, made of some kind of jade, engraved with the Aquila and the Inquisition symbol, and inlaid with a light blue serrated gemstone.

"A small gift for the first meeting, and also an award from the Royal Court to the Isha Witch Secret Society for maintaining peace between the two races and protecting the maiden world for many years. Please accept it with a smile."

Akturus caught the ring and looked at it carefully for a while, immediately feeling the considerable energy contained within.

Seeing the other party pondering the use of this thing, Star Disaster explained:

"It can be understood as a ring weapon. It emits the energy of a pulse laser cannon for a short time, which can be used for self-defense in an emergency."
