With high-quality connections like Noah, any inquisitor should understand that it is important to make friends with him.

However, Zoulas's arrogance made him too embarrassed to make friends with him. How could such a person achieve anything great?

-----------------

As soon as he returned to the bridge, Noah immediately gave the order:

"White, send an astropathic signal to Inquisitor Thaddeus and the Soul Drinker respectively, telling them that we still have a mission to complete and must leave as soon as possible."

"Yes, Captain."

White did not ask the reason, but just faithfully carried out what Noah had instructed him to do.

It was the judges' business if they did not listen, but Noah did.

If Corden Tertius rebels, Noah will be happy to let them taste the iron fist of the Empire and find a way to take the Forge World into his possession.

But if it is a 'peaceful liberation' like now, Noah does not intend to continue to get involved.

On the one hand, Corden Tertius must have a bigger conspiracy, and being involved in it would definitely not end well.

As a famous saying from the 3K era goes: If you know there is a tiger in the mountain, don't go there!

Since you know that Corden Tertius is plotting something, why do you still want to get involved?

On the other hand, if the war did not break out, then no matter how much he contributed, it would only be icing on the cake. The credit for the peaceful liberation belonged to the judges, and had little to do with him.

What's more, these two judges are not good people either, and each of them has ulterior motives.

Zoulas had disdain written all over his face. Although Thaddeus seemed enthusiastic, he was actually just using him.

Noah has no hobby of being a bootlicker. He will not put his warm face in front of other people's cold buttocks, and he doesn't want to be used as a gun by them.

Whatever conspiracy Corden Tertius was hiding, the Inquisition was now in charge.

The credit goes to them, and they also have to bear the blame.

But he still has to be the judge!

Although the throne deputy can be a powerful figure, it is not as useful as a real inquisitor. However, the throne deputy is a substitute inquisitor. If he is recommended by at least three inquisitors, he actually has the opportunity to become a real inquisitor.

The question is, where is he going to find the three judges?

Kliptman? He might not agree to such a thing.

The only person who would recommend him would probably be the inquisitor's wife whom he had never met...

"Captain, we have received a transmission from Inquisitor Thaddeus."

"Access."

With Noah's permission, White controlled the data board to transfer the signal to the tactical panel in front of Noah.

Thaddeus didn't exchange pleasantries and asked directly:

"Sir Noah, are you leaving?"

Noah's face turned serious:

"Yes, the task assigned to me by Inquisitor Kriptman has not been completed yet. I must go back and report to him as soon as possible!"

Thaddeus hesitated for a moment, and did not ask what the mission was. He just said with some regret:

"In that case, I can't force you to stay. When are you going to leave?"

"Now, but before that, I will turn command of the fleet over to you."

Thaddeus's brows relaxed when he heard this:

"Alright, the mission is urgent, so I won't send you off."

Although there are two Inquisitors in the reinforcement fleet, Zoulas is relatively stronger than Thaddeus and has always taken the lead. This is because Zoulas is the commander of the fleet!

The reason why Thaddeus was so enthusiastic about Noah was because he was not as strong as Zoulas, so he had to win over Noah and strengthen his voice. As long as Noah gave him the command of the fleet, he would have the capital to compete with Zoulas.

As long as the fleet is there, it doesn’t matter whether Noah leaves or not. He only has one Moon-class cruiser anyway.

One more ship wouldn't make much difference, and one less ship wouldn't make much difference.

"Zizi!"

The communication was interrupted, and the smile on Noah's face faded, becoming as calm as water.

Noah could guess what Thaddeus was thinking, otherwise why would he, the judge, come to greet him in person?

If he really thought that Thaddeus was so friendly to him because they hit it off right away, then he was really stupid.

White reported:

"Captain, the Soul Drinkers are requesting an acoustic transmission."

Noah waved his hand for her to take the connection.

Soon, Sarpedon's holographic projection appeared in front of Noah.

"Sir Noah, are you planning to leave?"

"Yes."

Noah spoke meaningfully, "I still have a mission to complete, and I don't intend to get involved in this mess. Also, Sarpedon, I suggest that the Soul Drinkers should not get involved. Anyway, the Soul Spear has been returned to its original owner, and Corden Tertius has already agreed to the Inquisitor's request. There is no reason for the Soul Drinkers to get involved in this vortex, right?"

Soul Drinkers are different from Inquisitors. These Space Marines are far more worthy of making friends with than Thaddeus, so Noah's rhetoric is also different.

Sarpedon thought for a long time, keeping his warning in mind, and said solemnly:

"Thanks for the reminder, I will try to convince the Chapter Master."

Although he knew that Noah must have other reasons that he had not explained, he was more willing to trust the Rogue Trader who fought alongside him than the two strange Inquisitors. And what Noah said was also true, there was really no reason for the Soul Drinker to be involved in this vortex.

"Besides that, there is one more thing. I might need the help of the Soul Drinker."

-----------------

Inquisitor Zoulas raised his head:

"The Rogue Trader has left?"

"Yes, my lord."

His apprentice replied respectfully, "The Rogue Trader has just left, and the command of the fleet has been handed over to Inquisitor Thaddeus. In addition, the Soul Drinkers have also applied to withdraw from the battle sequence. They have received a distress message from their home world and must rush to support them immediately."

"Homeworld?"

Zoulas sneered, "Aren't the Soul Drinkers a fleet-based regiment? Where does their home world come from?"

"They said it was the home planet of the Blamer Chapter."

"Then let them go!"

Zoulas said calmly.

"Yes, my lord."

The apprentice respectfully left the room, and Zoulas also stood up, staring out the window into the dark space.

Ronin Merchant.

With trade letters, they had the right to sail freely within the empire. Zoulas didn't care if Noah came here for business.

But as soon as this Rogue Trader arrived in the Skarrus Sector, he got involved in the conflict between the Space Marines and the Mechanicus, and even killed a Grand Magus of the Mechanicus in the conflict. Even if there was a reason, even if he was killing traitors, this is the Skarrus Sector, and he is the Inquisitor of the Skarrus Sector!

Zoulas was eager for the Rogue Merchants to leave as soon as possible. Although the departure of the Soul Drinkers was probably related to the Rogue Merchants, and this would cause them to lose some strength, so what?

Without Soul Drinkers, they still have Crimson Hunters and Brass Claws!

-----------------

"We have arrived at Mandeville Point." Nono reminded softly.

Noah did not immediately issue the warp command, but instead looked up at the holographic projection:

"Titus, I need to return to the Coronus Expanse first to deal with all matters concerning the Rogue Trader Dynasty. However, the Celestial Judgment and the Angel of Peace will take you back to Macragge. Remember to say hello to Chapter Master Calgar and Inquisitor Kriptman for me."

The Scalus Sector is adjacent to the Caliss Sector, and the Caliss Sector is adjacent to the Colonus Expanse. Since Noah inherited the Rogue Traders, he has never returned to the Rogue Traders Dynasty. He is now "homesick", and it is completely reasonable for him to ask to return to the Dynasty to handle all affairs.

Titus did not doubt this, but nodded slightly:

"See you in Macragge."

"Take care, Titus."

Cutting off the sound array communication, Noah readjusted the sound array channel, and the sound echoed in the empty bridge:

"Close the observation window, all personnel, prepare for the subspace warp impact!"

-----------------

The plasma flow pushed the Stars back to the dark depths of the real universe, and the violent impact at the moment of the warp made the ship's alarm buzz.

The auspex flashed a warning, marking its target with striking red runes.

At this moment, a huge ship is docked at Mandeville Point, like a silent giant beast in the starry sky.

"Ready the Thunderhawk, White, you'll be in command!"

"Yes, Captain."

The dock bracket released, and the Thunderhawk's engine roared forward, heading towards the behemoth in the deep sky.

The door of the hangar opened automatically and the air escaped, clearing enough space for the Thunderhawk to land.

After several days, Noah returned to his loyal mechanical ark again!

Noah glanced at the veil thickness: 0.

But to be on the safe side, Noah still asked:

"Nono, is there anything unusual on the ship?"

"There is no sign of the spread of warp forces."

Nuonuo stroked the wall of the cabin, feeling it carefully for a while, and said softly:

"But there are 15603 Skitarii on board this ship. Their presence may hinder our mission."

Although they had fought their way from the hangar to the bridge, and had suffered countless casualties, the mechanical ark was too big, and such a large size would inevitably harbor dirt.

"Need some help?" Noah asked.

After all, these outsiders, the Skitarii, will be a nuisance if they are kept around, so they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

"Need not."

Nono said confidently, "I can try to control them."

No matter what era, information delays on the battlefield are often fatal.

These Skitarii had no idea what happened on the ship, and they didn't even know that Hobotov had been killed. Nono only needed to pass orders to the Skitarii under the guise of Hobotov's code, and he could recruit them for his own use!

Chapter 79 A real man drives a Gundam!

Although he had only been here a few times, Nono was very familiar with the structure of the mechanical ark and took Noah directly to an empty factory.

Nono pointed to the open space in the factory:

"Let's put the XV8 production line here for now."

When leaving the home world of the Tau people, Noah took away a large amount of supplies, including several factories of the Tau people and almost all the data of the entire planet.

When Noah took out the XV8 production line from his backpack, the entire factory was almost completely filled with just one production line. Thousands of servitors were stationed in the factory, and they would be responsible for the subsequent production and maintenance of the production line.

In fact, Noah originally planned to return to the industrial world of the Ronin Dynasty and put the production line into production. But who knew that the oil man would send a mechanical ark to Noah halfway through, and Noah could only accept it with reluctance.

After all, there is still a risk of leaks in the industrial world, but if it is replaced with a mechanical ark, there is no safer confidentiality measure than complete closure!

Needless to say, thanks to my friend from the Mechanicus for the Mechanical Ark!

Nono did not stay here and took Noah back to the bridge again.

But this time their destination was not the bridge, but the database located under the bridge. The database was connected to the Thinker array on the ship, and all the information on the ship could be retrieved from the Thinker.
