Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 305

  Chapter 305 Rise of the Primarch: Inquisitors and Assassins

The giant vector jet engine was ignited at the end of the huge hull of the Infinite Frontier, and a pillar of fire that was several kilometers long was ejected from the belly of the power engine. Terra orbiting space station.

The side of the global star ring that surrounds the planet in low-earth orbit has already been prepared. The huge starport gate is slowly lifted up with the heavy vacuum gate. The Imperial Skyhawk logo on the gate is shining under the approaching plasma flames , as the light gradually strengthened, the Infinity Frontier also gradually approached the starport from the side of the door.

Captain Cole was walking in the corridor of the side courtyard. As he walked, he looked through the curved glass windows that covered the entire corridor wall and looked at the orbital base station on one side. The huge steel ring accompanied Terra's rotation. Turn slowly and forcefully.

Under the effect of relative speed, from the perspective of Cole and the corridor, the star ring seems to be rotating at a very slow speed, but in fact the star ring is very fast, observed from the normal gravity and speed conditions on the surface , the star ring is rapidly rotating at a speed of nearly one kilometer per second.

  But when the ship is also orbiting and operating in the same orbit quickly under the magnetic effect, the people on the ship can observe the orbital ring belt more clearly, as well as the huge surface of the planet Terra below.

Cole walked behind the sailors. He quietly walked behind the sailors who gathered in front of the windows and looked at Terra enthusiastically. They had never been to the throne world. The mood has long been hard to suppress, and the whole ship is gathered in such corridors, or on the observation deck overlooking Terra.

The sailors enthusiastically discussed everything about Terra, its buildings, cities, and holy palaces. They stared at the huge city clusters on the surface of Terra and overlooked the golden palace. The crew raised their fingers and pointed There was constant conversation on the ground.

  They were very enthusiastic, and the brilliance of Terra and the palace attracted their full attention, so that they didn't notice Cole walking quietly behind them.

Cole looked at the sailors gathered on one side, men and women gathered around the huge French windows, and people continued to join them, from behind the open hatches at both ends of the corridor, from all the members of the ship It's all gathered here, scrambling to find a spot for themselves where they'll get a better glimpse into the world of Thrones.

Cole walked over behind them. He passed through the lively crew and walked to the elevator at the end. The captain reached out and pressed the operation panel on the side of the elevator. As the panel lit up, the elevator door quickly opened, and he Walking into it, he skillfully pressed the button on the vertical level of the track elevator.

As the button lighted up, the silver-gray door quickly closed again, and the lively sailors in the corridor were separated by the elevator door. Cole stood in the silent elevator and went all the way down. He looked at the deck numbers beside him. , that number is rapidly decreasing, driving the captain to head into the depths of the Infinity Frontier.

There was a dead silence in the entire elevator, only the friction sound of the track pulley and the lifting rails on both sides was transmitted through the wall. Cole listened to the low buzzing sound, his eyes were still looking at the displayed number, and the scrolling number stopped. It stopped and stopped on a number on a certain lower deck.

  The elevator door in front of Cole reopened. With the silver-gray opening and reopening, Cole adjusted the laser gun on his waist and walked out.

The captain stepped into this quiet and secluded deck. Few people usually come here. Although it is not as dangerous as the lower deck, no one likes to come here. One is because it is far away from the usual activities of the crew. The working and living area is like a remote suburb of a city.

On the other hand, it is also because of its proximity to the Sanctuary of the Navigators. Although the Navigators are indispensable to a ship, and no ship can traverse the Warp without them, the dangerous gossip of the Navigators, and the fact that they It is indeed easy to be swallowed by chaos, thus opening a portal of flesh and blood, causing mainstream people to actively stay away from them.

   This brings an advantage. The area around the Navigator Sanctuary is full of secluded corridors where no one would come to wander around. It is a very suitable place to discuss some little secrets that cannot be known by the world.

Cole walked through this silent corridor, he walked through the long corridor with gloomy light here, the captain's eyes looked straight at the end of the dark corridor ahead, the place seemed infinitely far, infinitely deep, in absolute silence In the atmosphere, tranquility itself also produced some strange sounds.

That is the uneasy sound from the human heart, there is nothing here, this strange and disturbing environment has aroused a strange sound in the human heart, it may be the wind, it may be the footsteps that appear and disappear from time to time, or It may be the voice of a conversation that cannot be judged at all, but without exception, it will make people nervous and raise their heart to their throats.

   Cole is not a coward, but he doesn't like this place either. If it wasn't for the big plan, he wouldn't have come here on his own initiative. The captain continued to walk forward, subconsciously pressing his hand on the **** of the laser gun on his waist.

His captain's boot tower was on the steel deck, and soon he stopped in front of a door. Cole raised his head and looked at the sign EF-501 long-wave communication room hanging on the door. That's right, it's here up.

Cole raised his hand and clenched his fist and knocked heavily on the door a few times, one long, two short and then one long, as the heavy knock echoed in the secluded corridor accompanied by the collision of steel, soon The door opened suddenly.

  The sliding automatic door slid open to both sides, and Loken appeared behind the door holding the bolt gun on his waist. He poked his head out to observe the sides vigilantly.

"I'm not being followed, we're still on our own boat, no one will follow me." Cole smiled helplessly at the vigilant Loken, who was leaning on the door frame to observe the corridor with lake-like eyes Everything at both ends was moved aside after making sure everything was safe.

"It's always good to be prepared, Captain, please come in." Loken said as he stepped aside, and Cole slipped into the small cabin beside the tall Luna Wolf Space Marine. The cabin in the room is now packed to the brim. After all, a small cabin for mortals would be a bit cramped if there were three space warriors standing there.

   "Ah, Cole, find a place to sit, there are not many places here like above." Vito leaned on a square machine on the side of the prototype cabin, smiling at the newly joined Cole.

Cole looked at Eisenstein who was on his side. Like Loken, he was standing close to the gate. He wore a chainsaw sword on his waist, and his tall body was almost completely nailed to the ceiling above his head. This forced him to The company commander has to crouch down a bit, which makes him look slightly comical.

But his unsmiling, serious face did not make you smile at all. Eisenstein put one hand on the handle of the chainsaw sword on his waist. After Loken closed the door again, he also stood in love. The other side of the gate corresponding to Senstein.

The two of them were like two sentinels, watching everything vigilantly at the gate. Eisenstein nodded slightly to Cole, and the captain also silently responded and walked between the two soldiers. He jumped up and down, and watched Bell, who was tossing the communication platform in the middle of the circular cabin, pass by.

   "Did I miss something?" Cole said and walked in front of Vito, who shrugged slightly, and pointed to Bell who was turning over the communication platform.

   "Our tech boy is messing around, I guess it won't be long, Bell." "I'm a pharmacist, not a tech sergeant, Vito."

   "But what you are doing now is no different from a technical sergeant. You don't have to overwhelm yourself with too many skills. You are a perfect fit for the compound talents encouraged in your scriptures."

Vito said with a joking smile, while Bell rolled his eyes and continued to toss the communication platform. He squatted down and used the multifunctional workbench on his arm to operate on the lower panel of the terminal instrument. The light briefly illuminates Bell's face and the edge of the table there.

  Cole looked at the communication platform under the dim light, thinking for a moment, "I'm curious, you have been away from Terra for so many years, when was the last time you returned to Terra?"

   "Huh, a thousand years ago?"

   "Then you have been away for a thousand years. Even if the Tribunal and the Assassin Court can live longer than ordinary people through life extension technology, it will be two or three generations. Are you sure they will listen to you?"

  After hearing this, Vito hummed and laughed. He folded his arms and leaned against the square machine behind him, "Then let's wait and see, Bell, are you okay?" "Okay."

As the Ultramarine spoke, he plugged a blue cable into the electrode, and as the tiny contact point flashed out, the communication platform in front of Bell lit up immediately, and he raised his head to look at the holographic interface station where the display screen appeared up.

Vito also came up from one side, walked to the edge of the holographic platform and snapped his fingers to Bell. The latter nodded slightly and pressed the communication button on the holographic plane in front of him. With Bell's continuous clicking and connection, soon The holographic screen trembled and flickered.

  On the holographic plane, the trembling light filaments pull each other to gradually form images, but the equipment is too old, the imaging speed is very slow, and the images are blurred with violent shaking.

"Damn, Bell, are you sure you have adjusted this thing?" Vito looked at Bell and smiled wryly, while the latter continued to operate the interface in front of him, clicking on each button with his finger, "I'm sure, in Wait, I'll let it stabilize."

Cole came up from behind Vito, the green light on the holographic image illuminated Cole's body, and also illuminated Vito's side, Captain Cole looked at the holographic interface that gradually stabilized in the strobe .

"How did you get in touch with them? Some kind of secret Inquisitorial Chamber communication channel?" "You're right in a sense, it's indeed a secret channel, but it's not so secondary, it's just an exclusive call band."

"Their boss's exclusive number." Vito looked at the stabilized picture with a smile, and Cole was also watching the shaken picture by his side. It was the outline of two people, and the two appeared on the holographic interface silhouette.

The imaging color of the old holographic image is still very old. Unlike the advanced holographic equipment on board, the color of this instrument is still the ancient fluorescent green. Although this is very common in the empire today, after all, you can't expect the empire to be so Large-scale equipment changeover efficiency.

Cole looked at the shaky picture, and the blurry image gradually became clear with Bell's operation. The latter dragged and pulled the sound wave linear map in front of him. As the peak value was adjusted between the curves, the human figure on the imaging was also clear. Yes, at least I can see the face clearly.

  The two people stood on the holographic image. Although their appearance could be seen clearly, the edges of their bodies were still flashing in the blurred imaging band, as if the tide was blown by the wind on the lake.

Cole looked at them. The man on the right was wearing a long-tailed windbreaker, with armor plate covering and stacking on his shoulders, a pendant hanging from the chest of the high-necked windbreaker, and a red hoodie hanging from the chest with an iron chain. A pendant with the letter i, and a book hanging on his waist, a book tied with an iron chain.

  His expression is resolute, cold, and just looking at it can make people shudder. It is the kind of appearance that best fits people's impression of a judge. Just one glance at the enemy can make the heretics tremble.

And the woman on the other side of him, at least Cole can know that she is a woman through her body, other than that, she has no other characteristics. Unlike the judge on the right, you can't see her face, because her face Wearing a skull mask, the mechanical skull mask is cold and creepy.

She was wearing a special tights all over her body, which fit her body perfectly. Cables were attached to the skin-like tights, and a few unknown medicines were inserted on her shoulders and back, flickering. The potion gleamed as ominously as she herself.

Cole looked at the sharp claws on her hand. The claws were fixed directly on her fingers. The small pop-up tips could suddenly become slender and sharp like a blade, killing anyone she wanted in an instant. The enemy is wiped out instantly.

   Cole looked at the two people on the screen in front of him, no need to introduce, no need to think, Cole could recognize their identities in an instant, those two organization crew members who would make anyone in the empire creepy.

  Member of the Inquisition and Assassins.

"Okay, although it's still not clear, it's enough. Hello, two lords." Vito greeted with a smile while standing in front of the holographic image. Before he finished speaking, the two people on the image immediately knelt on one knee without hesitation. Kneeling down, Cole looked at Vito in surprise.

   "Lords? You mean, they are."

   "Master of the Inquisition and Master of the Order of Assassins, yes, also a member of the High Lords Council of Terra."

  Vito said quite calmly. He looked at the two people in front of him with his hands behind his back. Just their names alone could shake the entire Terra.

   "Supreme Master, it is a pleasure to get in touch with you. Welcome back to Terra." The Lord of the Inquisition stood up from the plane of the holographic image, and he nodded to Vito, but it was full of absolute respect.

"Me too, Angvar, it's nice to see you again. How long ago was the last time we met?" Vito looked at the Grand Mentor of the Tribunal and asked as if chatting. It was hard for Cole to believe that since someone dared to So easy, so comfortable talking to the supreme leader of the most feared department of the empire.

  But Vito did this, and he is also qualified to do so, because he is the real leader of the most terrifying departments of these two empires, the boss of the biggest.

   "Three hundred years ago, Leuven Nemesis, at your request, I led the Gray Knights to go to the local area to support you against a chaos invasion and attack. It was a glorious battle."

   "I also remember, I was also honored to fight against the Chaos invasion with you at that time, and I hope it will be the same this time."

   "Of course, Your Excellency the Supreme Mentor." Angvar nodded affirmatively to Vito, his resolute face was like steel, his piercing eyes looked at Vito, and he clenched the mechanized iron fist in his right hand.

   "All members of the court, waiting for your order, my lord."

Vito nodded slightly and looked at the silent assassin on the side. The assassin with the mechanical skull mask looked at Vito silently. The eye sockets of the skulls on the cold mask were pitch black, as if there was nothing underneath. Beneath the garment in front of him was nothingness, and an invisible ghost wore it all.

"Hello, Eva, are the assassins ready?" Vito looked at the female assassin and asked softly. A voice came from under the mask, "Awaiting your order, master."

"Very good." Vito said with his hands behind his back. He watched the two high lord members in front of him raise their heads slightly. He looked at his subjects like a returning king, and his sloppy look was swept away. Kong, suddenly changed back to the appearance of the supreme leader who can really lead the shadow departments of these two empires.

"Small chatting is not our tradition, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm determined to overthrow the High Lords Council and take over Terra." Vito cut into the gist briefly, directly and with a clear purpose, without embellishment or packaging, and directly clarified I can be called the target of betrayal by a considerable number of people in the empire.

Cole glanced at Vito and then looked at Bell on the opposite side. After exchanging glances, they both looked at the two high lords in front of them. Where they stood, it took much less time than Bell imagined. An answer was given, a firm and simple answer.

"All the judges in the Tribunal, and all the forces we can control, will obey you, Master Mentor." Lord Angwa, the judge, stepped forward and said, he clenched his iron fist, and the iron finger accompanied him The knuckles crackled hard.

   "I've had enough of them, a bunch of greedy, selfish and arrogant pigs, I'm glad you can make this decision, my lord, I will personally execute the trial."

   "Where's the Chamber of Assassins?" Vito turned his head to look at the silent, creepy female assassin Eva, who still stood in place and nodded slightly to Vito like a silent stone statue.

"Waiting for your order, master." Without any excessive words, that was the answer of the Assassin Court. Now only Vito's order is needed, and the entire Terra High Lords Council will be killed, accompanied by It is the **** wind that spreads all over Terra, and only one word is needed from him.

But Vito didn't give that order, he stood in front of the two of them and looked at them, squinting his eyes slightly thinking about something, soon Vito shook his head lightly, "No, put the assassins on standby, save them. "

   "Marshal, I don't understand what you mean." Eisenstein said at the door behind him. He frowned slightly and looked in Vito's direction. The company commander pointed to the two Imperial Blades on the holographic interface.

   "We have already obtained the support of the Tribunal and the Assassin Court. Why not kill all the insect lords immediately? In this way, you only need to set foot on the land of Terra to get support."

"It's not that simple, Eisenstein, if the problem can be solved simply by shedding blood, I would have ordered it a long time ago. In fact, it would indeed only need to shed blood to solve the problem, but it's just that the blood of the whole Terra will be shed. "

With his hands behind his back, Vito looked at the two masters in front of him. They also quietly waited for Vito's order, "The high lords have a deep foundation in Terra. If I order to kill them now, they really have no way out. The assassins will make sure they're all dead by sundown today."

"But their subordinates, forces, and bureaucrats and allies who have been intertwined over the years will be in danger. They will be afraid that they may also be liquidated, and they will take risks in order to survive. Then what we are facing is not It's just a Qing emperor's side, but a civil war in Terra."

"And now, the last thing we need is a civil war. Believe me, they will fight desperately. Even if we win, when Abaddon comes, we will have no counterattack power. Everything on Terra will be ruined." In the Civil War."

Vito turned his head slightly to look at Eisenstein, he looked into the eyes of the company commander, "So, I must save them temporarily, the bureaucrats under them have a very simple way of thinking, whoever wins, they help, as long as you don't Kill them all together, they don't mind changing to a boss."

"But it requires a lot. More complicated operations. I must show my strength. With a political and military coup without bloodshed, while ensuring that Terra will not fall into a **** civil war, it will also change everything. , this power must be real. When the high lords are exposed to all power, let them see it, let the officials and nobles on Terra know who will win, and who they should obey and support people."

Eisenstein was silent for a moment, and he nodded quickly, understanding Vito's meaning, "Then what are you going to do? Marshal, this will not be easy. In fact, bloodless coups are often more complicated than **** coups." Much more difficult."

Vito looked at Eisenstein, and when he was about to speak, the communicator on Cole beside him sounded. Vito stopped talking, and he turned his head slightly to look at Cole. Everyone looked at Cole, including the influencer. The two masters of the world.

   Cole glanced at them, and after thinking for a moment, he took out the communicator on his waist. He opened it, "Captain, we have already docked."

   "Very well, I see, let's follow the steps." Cole said calmly, as if nothing happened in his tone.

   "Follow the captain." The communication ended with a crisp ticking sound, Cole put down the communicator and looked at Vito, who nodded slightly and then looked at the two people on the holographic image.

   "I will go to the Antarctic Judgment Temple as soon as possible, and let all the important people you think need be present."

   "Follow my lord."

The two said in unison, they bowed to Vito, and Vito nodded slightly to them and then signaled Bell to turn off the communication, the latter also immediately carried out the order, and soon the two people on the holographic image disappeared after flickering , the bright holographic platform dimmed, and the dim environment quickly enveloped everything.

  Vito's face quickly darkened again. He sighed a long time with his hands behind his back, then smiled and looked at Cole beside him, "Is there any surprise worth mentioning above? It's on Terra."

   Cole also laughed after hearing this. He also put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, "Indeed, I believe you will be interested."

"Very good, then let's go." Vito said, turned and walked towards the door, and as Locke immediately pressed the button on the display window next to the door, the door quickly opened to both sides, and Vito came from Go out behind the door.

   Several people inside the door also followed. They followed Vito and walked in the silent corridor. The sound of heavy footsteps echoed behind him. Vito looked at the end of the corridor ahead and showed a happy smile.

   "You have a plan, right?" Cole asked softly behind Vito, who shook his head slightly. When he stopped, his conspiratorial and cunning eyes looked into the distance.

   "Let the game begin."
