Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 305 The Rise of the Primarch: Inquisitors and Assassins

The giant vector jet engine ignited at the end of the huge hull of the Infinite Frontier, and a column of fire that was several kilometers long shot out from the belly of the power engine. With the powerful engine driving force, the Infinite Frontier was slowly approaching the side. Terra orbiting space station.

The side of the global star ring that surrounds the planet's low-Earth orbit is already ready. The huge star port gate is slowly lifted along with the heavy vacuum gate, and the Imperial Eagle logo on the gate glitters under the approaching plasma flame. , with the gradual strengthening of the light, the Infinite Frontier gradually approached the star port from the side of the gate.

Captain Cole was walking in the corridor of the side court. As he walked, he passed through. The curved glass windows covering the entire corridor wall on the side watched the orbital base station on one side. The huge steel ring accompanied Terra's rotation. Turning forcefully and slowly.

Under the effect of relative speed, from the view 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 surface gravity and speed conditions , the star ring is rapidly rotating at a speed of close to kilometers per second.

However, when the ship also revolves around the orbit and operates in the same orbit rapidly under the magnetic effect, the people on the ship can observe the orbital ring and the surface of the huge planet Terra below more clearly.

Cole passed behind the sailors. He quietly passed behind the sailors who gathered at the windows and watched Terra with enthusiasm. They had never been to the throne world. Although they had not yet set foot on the surface of Terra, they were excited. His mood has long been difficult to suppress, and the whole ship gathered in such corridors, or overlooked Terra from the observation deck.

The sailors discussed everything about Terra, its buildings, cities and holy palaces, with their eyes staring at the huge city group on Terra's surface, overlooking the golden palace, and the crew raised their fingers to point Conversation on the ground continued.

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 gathered sailors, men and women around the huge French windows, and people continued to join them, from all the members of the ship behind the open hatches at each end of the corridor. All gathered here, scrambling to find a position for themselves that would give a better glimpse into the world of the throne.

Cole walked over from behind them. He passed the lively crew and came 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 opened quickly. Walking into it, he skillfully pressed the button on the vertical floor of the rail elevator.

As the button was lit, the silver-gray door was quickly closed again, and the lively sailors in the corridor were isolated by the elevator door. Cole stood in the silent elevator and descended all the way. He looked at the number of deck floors beside him. , that number is rapidly decreasing, driving the captain to the depths of the Infinite Frontier.

The entire elevator was dead silent. Only the friction of the rail pulley and the lifting rails on both sides was transmitted through the wall. Cole listened to the low humming sound. His eyes were still on the displayed number, and the rolling number stopped. Down and stopped at a figure on a lower deck.

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

The captain stepped into this quiet and secluded deck. Usually, no one would come here. Although it is not as dangerous as the lower deck, no one likes to come here. First, it is because it is far away from the usual activities of the crew members. Work and live areas, like a remote suburb of a city.

On the other hand, it is also because of the proximity of the navigator's sanctuary. Although navigators are indispensable to a ship, none of them can travel through the warp, but the rumors about the dangers of navigators, and the fact that they It is indeed easy to be swallowed by chaos, thus opening a flesh and blood portal, causing mainstream crowds to take the initiative to stay away from them.

This has the advantage that the Navigator's Sanctuary is full of secluded corridors that no one will wander around, a place that is very suitable for discussing some little secrets that are not known to the world.

Cole walked through this silent corridor. He walked through the long corridor that shimmered with cold light. The captain's eyes looked directly at the end of the dark corridor ahead. The place seemed infinitely far, infinitely deep, in absolute silence. In the atmosphere, the silence itself also produced some strange sounds.

It was a disturbing voice from the human heart. There is nothing here. This unfamiliar and disturbing environment has stimulated a strange voice in the human heart. It may be the sound of wind, it may be the sound of footsteps that appear and disappear from time to time, or It may be a conversation that is impossible to judge at all, but without exception, it will make people nervous to raise their hearts to their throats.

Cole is not a coward, but he doesn't like it here either. If it wasn't for the big plan, he wouldn't come here on his own initiative.

His captain's boots towered on the steel deck, and soon he stopped in front of a gate. Cole looked up at the sign EF-501 Longwave Communications Room, which was hanging on the door. Yes, it was here. .

Cole raised his hand into a fist and knocked hard on the door a few times, one long, two short and one long, and the heavy knock echoed in the secluded corridor with the collision of steel, and soon The door suddenly opened.

The sliding automatic door slid open to the sides, and Loken appeared behind the door with the bolt gun on his waist. He stuck his head out and watched vigilantly to the sides.

"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 leaned against the door frame and observed the corridor with lake-like eyes Everything at both ends was put aside after making sure everything was safe.

"It's always good to be prepared, Captain, please come in." Loken said to get out of the way, and Cole got into the small cabin from the side of the tall Shadowmoon Wolf Space Marine. The cabin is now packed, after all, a small cabin for mortals, standing with three Space Marines will be a bit crowded.

"Ah, Cole, find a place to sit, there's not much space here like the one above." Vito leaned against a square machine on the side of the prototype cabin, smiling at the newly added Cole.

Cole looked at Eisenstein on his side. He stood close to the gate like Loken. He wore a chainsaw sword on his waist, and his tall body was almost completely nailed to the ceiling above his head, which forced him. The company commander had to crouch down a bit, which made him look slightly comical.

But his unsmiling, serious face won't make you smile at all. Eisenstein put a hand on the hilt of the chainsaw on his waist. After Loken closed the door again, he also stood in love Sunstein's corresponding door is on the other side.

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

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

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

"But what you're doing now is that it's no different from a technical sergeant. You don't overwhelm you because of your skills. You are a compound talent that perfectly fits the encouragement of your canon."

Vito jokingly said on the side, while Bell rolled his eyes and continued tossing the communication platform. He squatted down and used the multi-function workbench on his arm to operate on the lower panel of the terminal instrument, subtle sparks. The light briefly illuminated Bell's face, as well as the edge of the counter there.

Cole looked at the communication platform under the dim light and thought 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?"

"Well a thousand years ago?"

"Then you have been gone for a thousand years. Even if the Inquisition and the Assassin Court can live longer than ordinary people through the life extension technology, it has already been two or three generations. Are you sure they will still 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, okay?" "Okay."

The Ultramarines said and plugged a blue cable into the electrode. With the slight contact point lightning popped out, the communication platform in front of Bell immediately lit up. He raised his head and looked at the holographic interface station where the display screen appeared. up.

Vito also leaned up from one side. He walked to the holographic platform and snapped his fingers at Bell. The latter nodded slightly and pressed the communication button on the holographic plane in front of him. The holographic screen trembled and flickered.

On the holographic plane, the vibrating filaments pulled each other and gradually formed images, but the instrument was too old, the imaging speed was very slow, and the images were blurred with violent shaking.

"Damn, Bell, are you sure you've debugged this thing?" Vito looked at Bell and smiled wryly, while the latter continued to operate the interface in front of him, clicking on the buttons with his fingers, "I'm sure, in the Wait, I'll let it settle down."

Cole came up from behind Vito. The green light on the hologram illuminated Cole's body and Vito's side. Captain Cole looked at the holographic interface that gradually stabilized in the flash. .

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

"Their boss's exclusive number." Vito smiled and looked at the stabilized picture. Cole was also watching the shaking picture beside him. It was the outline of two people, and the two appeared on the holographic interface. silhouette.

The color of the old holographic image is still very old. Unlike the advanced holographic equipment on board, the color of this instrument is still ancient fluorescent green, although this is also very common in today's empire. After all, you can't expect the empire to be like this. Large-scale equipment replacement efficiency.

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

The two people stood on the hologram, and although their appearances could be seen clearly, the edges of their bodies were still flashing in the blurred imaging band, like the tides on the lakeside being blown by the wind.

Cole looked at them. The man on the right was wearing a long-tailed trench coat with armor pieces covered and stacked on his shoulders. There was a pendant on the chest of the high-necked trench coat, and a red piece hung on the chest with an iron chain. A pendant with the letter i, and a book on the waist, a book tied with an iron chain.

His expression was resolute, gloomy and chilling just by looking at him. It was the kind of appearance that most matched people's impression of a judge. Just staring at the enemy could make the heretics tremble.

And the woman on the other side of him, at least Cole can tell by her body that she is a woman, other than that, there is no other feature, unlike the Inquisitor 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 tight suit all over her body, which fit her body completely. Cables were attached to the tight suit like skin, and several unknown potions were stuck on her shoulders and back. The potion burst out with an ominous light like her own.

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

Cole looked at the two people on the screen in front of him, without introduction or thinking, Cole could instantly recognize their identities, those two organizational crew members who would make anyone horrified in the empire.

Members of the Inquisition and the Court of Assassins.

"Okay, although it's still not clear, it's enough, two lords." Vito greeted with a smile while standing in front of the hologram. Kneeling down, Cole looked at Vito aside in surprise.

"Lord? You mean, they are."

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

Vito said quite calmly, he looked at the two people in front of him with his hands behind his back, just the name alone can make the whole Terra, no, the two people in the entire empire trembled with fright.

"Master Supreme, it's a pleasure to get in touch with you, and welcome back to Terra." The Lord of the Inquisition stood up from the plane of the hologram, nodding to Vito, but full of absolute respect.

"Me too, Angvar, I'm glad to see you again. How long ago was the last time we met?" Vito looked at the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition and asked like a small talk. It was hard for Kerr to believe that since someone dared to So relaxed and comfortable talking to the supreme leader of this empire's most terrifying department.

But Vito did it, and he was qualified to do it, because he was the real leader of the most terrifying divisions of these two empires, the boss of the oldest.

"Three hundred years ago, the nemesis of Leuven, I brought the Grey Knights to the local area to support you against a Chaos invasion and attack at your request. It was a glorious battle."

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

"Naturally, Your Excellency Supreme Teacher." 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 skeleton mask looked at Vito silently. The eye sockets of the skeletons on the cold mask were dark, as if there was nothing underneath. Beneath the garment in front of him was nothingness, an invisible ghost wearing it all.

"Hello, Eva, are the assassins ready?" Vito looked at the female assassin and asked softly, the latter nodded lightly, and the light but slender cold blade-like voice came from "Wait for your order, Master."

"Very good." Vito said with his hands behind his back, he looked at the two high lord members in front of him with their heads raised slightly, he was like a returning king looking at his vassals, and he was swept away in a condescending manner. Sora, suddenly changed back to the top leader who can really lead the shadow departments of these two empires.

"Gossip is not our tradition, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm determined to overthrow the High Lord's Council and take over Terra." Vito cut into the main point briefly, directly and with a clear purpose, without any decoration or packaging, and directly clarified He can be called the target of betrayal by a considerable number of people in the Empire.

Cole looked at Vito and 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 in a much shorter time than Bell imagined. Answered, a firm and simple answer.

"All the judges of the Inquisition, and all the power we can control, will obey you, Master Teacher." Lord Angvar Inquisitor stepped forward and said, he clenched his iron fist, and the iron finger accompanied The force of the knuckles crackled.

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

"Where's the Assassin Court?" Vito turned to look at the silent, creepy female Assassin Eva, who stood still and nodded slightly to Vito like a silent stone statue.

"Waiting for your order, Master." Without any too many words, that was the answer of the Assassin Court. Now it only needs Vito's order, and the entire Council of High Lords of Terra will fall to the ground, accompanied by It was a bloody storm that spread all over Terra, and it only needed a word from him.

But Vito didn't give that order, he stood in front of the two and looked at them, squinting slightly thinking about something, and soon Vito shook his head gently, "No, let the assassins stand by and leave them alive. "

"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 already have the Inquisition and the Assassin Court's support. Why don't we immediately kill all those worm lords? In this way, you only need to step on the land of Terra, and you can get support."

"It's not that simple, Eisenstein, if only bloodshed can solve the problem, I have already ordered it, in fact, it is true that only bloodshed can solve the problem, but it will only bleed the whole of Terra. "

Vito put his hands behind his back and looked at the two masters in front of them. They also quietly waited for Vito's order, "The high lords have a deep root in Terra, if I order them to be killed now, they really don't have any way to survive. The Assassins will make sure they die before the sun goes down today."

"But their subordinates, the forces, the bureaucrats and allies who have been intertwined over the years will all be in danger, they will fear that they may also be liquidated, and they will take risks in order to survive, then we will not face It's just a Qingjun side, but a civil war in Terra."

"And now, the last thing we need is a civil war, trust me, they will fight desperately, even if we win, when Abaddon comes, we will have no power to fight back, and everything in Terra will be destroyed. in the civil war."

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

"But it's going to take a lot of. Complicated operations, I have to show strength, with a political and military coup that won't be bloody, while ensuring that Terra will not be drawn into a bloody civil war, it will also change everything. , this power must be real, when the high lords are exposed to all power, let them see, let the officials and nobles on Terra know who will win, who they should obey and support people."

Eisenstein was silent for a moment, he nodded quickly and understood what Vito meant, "Then what are you going to do? Marshal, it won't be easy, in fact, bloodless coups are often more complicated than bloody ones. much more difficult."

Vito looked at Eisenstein, and the communicator rang on Cole who was beside him when he was about to speak. Vito stopped talking. He turned his head slightly to look at Cole. Everyone looked at Cole, including the influence. The two masters above.

Cole glanced at them, then thought for a moment and then took out the communicator on his waist. He opened the thing, "Captain, we have arrived at the port."

"Very well, I understand, just follow the steps." Kerr said calmly, as if nothing happened.

"As captain." The communication ended with a crisp tick. Cole put down the communicator and looked at Vito, who nodded slightly and looked at the two people on the hologram.

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

"Follow your orders."

The two said in unison, they bowed their hands to Vito, and Vito nodded slightly to them and signaled Bell to turn off the communication. The latter also immediately executed the order, and soon the two people on the hologram disappeared after flashing. , the bright holographic platform dimmed, and the dim environment quickly enveloped everything.

Vito's face quickly darkened again, he sighed with his hands behind his back, and then smiled and looked at Cole beside him, "Is there any surprises worth mentioning? Tyra's."

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

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

Several people inside the door also followed out. They followed behind 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 smiled happily.

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

"Let the game begin."
