The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Just as Sotha was troubled about how to transport the supplies from the fallen areas back.

Suddenly, he thought of a group of people.

The Leagues of Votann!

Although the Leagues of Votann's military forces were not involved this time, some of the top transportation companies from the Votann League participated. With their ship technology, if it's just about transporting goods, it should be much safer than human ships. Spending some money to let the Leagues of Votann transport these supplies back to Amara would solve this problem.

With this idea, Sotha's worries disappeared, so he thanked the female Inquisitor:

"Thank you for your actions, I will handle these supplies appropriately."

The young Inquisitor awkwardly took out his "results".

"The activities of alien pirates have all disappeared recently. I personally went to investigate and only found some destroyed wreckage. The alien attacks... obviously do not distinguish between races."

Inquisitors are, after all, mortals, and their abilities naturally vary. Sotha did not slight the other party and still nodded in thanks.

"At least we won't have any other troubles, which is very important for the upcoming defense of Orpheus."

"By the Emperor, if all Inquisitors worked as ineffectually as you, then the Empire would be in real danger!"

Roderick did not give the other party any face, mocking loudly, making Upton's face very unsightly, but he couldn't explode and could only stand silently to the side, pretending not to hear.

"Chapter Master Sotha, there is a huge secret about alien activities that only you can see, but please do not spread it. This will be a high-level secret of the Inquisition."

Seeing the other party being so mysterious, Sotha was also a little curious and took the data slate.

Clicking on it, the content inside shocked him. It was the surface of a desolate planet, seemingly still swept by狂风, while in the distance stood mountain-like black building complexes, emitting a chilling green glow. Then the camera zoomed in, and you could see many gaunt figures, dressed in rags, walking like zombies towards the terrifying black mountains.

The Necron's bio-transfer laboratory!

Sotha's mind immediately jumped to this guess. He calmly closed the data slate, looked at the Inquisitor, and suddenly frowned.

"Inquisitor Roderick, where is this place?"

"Apollion."

"Apollion... I understand. I will remember your sacrifice."

"Huh?"

Roderick widened his eyes and was about to speak when a figure darted to his side like an arrow, and before he could react, a sword like a rainbow instantly pierced through his head, splitting it into two halves from the mouth, and before the blood could spurt out, a piece of yellow silk covered the wound.

"What!"

Under the sudden change, the other three Inquisitors instinctively took out their weapons, but Sotha waved his hand.

"Everyone, don't be nervous, look carefully."

The three Inquisitors looked over and found that on Amnak's sword tip, a small, bloody mechanical beetle was struggling and emitting a flickering green glow.

"This is!?"

Sotha walked over, grabbed the pierced mechanical beetle, pinched it between his fingertips, and introduced it.

"This is a sinister Necron espionage device called a Scarab of Possession. It will silently enter the victim's brain in a ghostly manner and instill a series of subconscious instructions into the victim, making them an unconscious agent. The concealment is very strong, and it is also very dangerous. I once encountered someone controlled by a Scarab of Possession, which almost caused a lot of trouble."

"So that's how it is."

The three Inquisitors looked at each other, and then became vigilant. The professional instinct of the Inquisitors made them immediately start to suspect whether their colleagues around them had also been implanted with this Scarab of Possession.

"Don't be nervous, it just so happens that our Tech-Priest has researched the weak instruction signal band of this beetle. The three of you are all fine."

Sotha's lie was actually easily exposed. If it could be cracked just by the Tech-Priest's research, then the Necron's technology would be too weak. But after experiencing the sudden change just now, the three Inquisitors were all frightened, and they couldn't react for a while.

The one who really discovered the Scarab of Possession was Amnak. In the last incident, Sotha suffered a loss, but he turned misfortune into blessing, his strength had grown considerably, and he had quietly mastered some of the power of the warp, although only a part, but he was very敏锐 in the details, such as the situation on the Sector Governor's body was also discovered after he came back—

That's right, the Governor was also implanted with a Scarab of Possession. Not only that, but there was also a hidden small device in his bedroom, which explained why the Governor often had nightmares at night.

That was not a nightmare at all. The Governor was really caught on the Necron's ship and had a banquet with them!

Even due to the influence of the Scarab of Possession, the Governor was unwilling to tell others about this. It was also after Occam used deep hypnosis that he found out. At that time, Sotha thought that the Governor was too stressed, but when Amnak saw it, there was a Scarab of Possession in this guy's head.

Fortunately, Amnak, who had mastered a little bit of the power of the warp, could handle it easily, and took it out without the Governor's knowledge. Sotha's back was also cold at the time. If he didn't come, then the fall of Orpheus would be inevitable. Even high-level Imperial rulers like the Sector Governor could be easily controlled, so what else is safe?

So since the Governor can be saved, can't this Inquisitor be saved?

Of course, it was because Sotha didn't want to save him. From the moment he appeared, Amnak told him that this person had been implanted with a Scarab of Possession, and asked Sotha to choose a solution.

Originally, Sotha didn't plan to kill him, but this person behaved too aggressively and was not the type he could stably suppress. His words and deeds also showed that he was an ambitious Inquisitor, which Sotha didn't like either.

Perhaps the Inquisitor could not have imagined that his every move would eventually sentence him to death.

"But the aliens using this method proves that the day they launch an attack is not far away. There are still countless alien spies in the Amara star system. The follow-up work in this area will have to rely on you."

Then he turned to look at the pale-faced Sector Governor.

"Inquisitor Roderick died in the line of duty. Please give him a solemn and sacred funeral and bury him in the most magnificent and sacred church cemetery, so that his soul can return to the side of the Golden Throne to comfort the heroic spirit."

"Yes, yes, yes, I will arrange it immediately! Come on, collect... collect the Inquisitor's remains! Send it to the mortuary to stop the spirit and organize the remains!"

Soon a group of people hurried in, taking away the body and half of the head on the ground. At this moment, an official hurried to appear at the side door. The Governor glanced at it and then looked at Sotha. Sotha also noticed this person, so he said loudly:

"Report if there is something to report."

The official lowered his head and walked to the Governor's side, cautiously saying in a voice that everyone could hear:

"The outposts on the edge of the star system report that the Minotaurs Chapter's fleet has jumped out of the warp node."
