Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 129 Come, Qualitative

The chaos in the Feldman galaxy did not last long.

Under the leadership of the Wraith Redeemer, the Astral Navy's assistance on the ground was simple and efficient.

Large-scale excavation equipment and materials were delivered to the Astra Militarum defensive positions and anti-aircraft fortresses, which improved the situation on the ground and contained possible turmoil after the disaster.

The Astartes of the Goliath Chapter also regrouped and returned to their orbital strike cruiser Sacred Blood.

Captain Christen, who was seriously injured and recuperating, temporarily entrusted the command to his adjutant, that is, the fake malicious soldier Augustine captured by Golden before.

The latter attended the subsequent ground disaster relief meeting on behalf of the Goliath Squadron, and after the meeting brought Calvin, Yule and others a thank you from Captain Christen.

The situation on the surface began to stabilize on the third day after the rescue began.But a new problem appeared before the eyes of everyone on the track:

The Astral Army and the Planetary Defense Force, after a long battle with the forces of chaos, experienced another betrayal from the Inquisition.

Their morale was on the verge of collapse after the orbital strike.

After the rescue supplies solved their food and clothing problems, the vast majority of the people in the legion had no further will to fight.

In a word: These warriors who have suffered through hardships now want to go home.

This is not an excessive request, especially in the context of the promise made by Inquisitor Rein Hoffman when he first recruited them.

But this is another unreasonable request, especially in the context that they have just fought against Chaos at close quarters and have no time to go through review and purification.

Erlante left Jules, Calvin and others a dilapidated situation.

It is hard for them to imagine, now that the surface forces have just rebuilt trust with the Holy Hammer Order and Starland Navy represented by Yule and others, if they reject the promise already written in the conscription order, what will the situation be like? direction development.

At the critical moment, the Astartes of the Goliath Chapter bravely stood up.

They returned to the surface under the orders of Augustine's acting captain.To comfort the mortal soldiers and their representatives who have fought by their side.

And the background for doing this is that they themselves have just experienced a shameful betrayal.

Their company commander, now recuperating in the nutrient solution of the medical cabin, was injured from the previous torture.

For such comrades-in-arms, Calvin and others had no more demands.As temporary representatives of the Inquisition here, they are ashamed of these simple warriors.

The only thing they can do is to cooperate with their work as much as possible before the arrival of the subsequent judges, and tell their loyalty to the latter after the arrival of the judges.

That's right, even now that an Inquisitor has been deposed and killed, the Gray Knights still have to return the final leadership and interpretation of the incident to the Tribunal, rather than letting them decide on their own.

This has been a practice for thousands of years, and it is also the basis for mutual trust and cooperation.

Just as these mortals swore an oath before the Emperor to uphold their principles and not abuse their rights; the Gray Knights also need to prove to their alternative comrades that they will not abuse their power.

What belongs to the emperor belongs to the emperor, and what belongs to mortals belongs to mortals.

After all, the gray knight can only hand over the rights that should be let go to these mortals before they can bear enough responsibilities.

However, after experiencing this anti-"discipline action", these forces hidden behind the huge establishment of the Tribunal should be quiet for a long time.

After all, the Inquisition was only slow to respond, not unresponsive.

When the abolition of judges, which has only happened in theory since the establishment of the trial court, actually appeared in front of their eyes, the awakened lord judges will definitely look at everything around them with hawk-like eyes. .

Afterwards, the concern of the Gray Knight's great mentor in the lord's council inside the trial court will definitely make these mortals secretly vigilant.

Attention from the Gray Knights.Their high-level leaders will re-examine whether the power they hold really exists for the benefit of the empire.

This is only internal pressure, and the lord judges can already imagine how severe the question from the Astartes joint representative will be in the next high lord council.

Under internal and external difficulties, under double pressure, this group of power slaves in the dark corners must have suffered heavy losses in the internal review of the Tribunal, and will enter a dormant state for a long period of time, and there will be no other actions .

"Be smart or be honest."

This is the unwritten code of conduct in many administrations of the Empire, and the Inquisition is no exception.

This kind of situation where the operation failed, but was still caught at the scene, and even the people were dealt with, was unacceptable and very annoyed by the senior management.

For the eye of the storm that ignited this political storm, the Feldman Galaxy, the Tribunal naturally attaches great importance to it.

Under the urgent mobilization of the Tribunal regardless of the cost, only the tenth day after the incident, Uther Wei Sutherland, the Grand Inquisitor of the Storm Star Region, the representative of the Trial Tribunal Storm Star Region, and the high-ranking lord judge, was already in the dust. Arrived here in servant's footsteps.

After his ship appeared at Manzeville Point in the Feldman Galaxy, within half an hour, the old man with short silver hair appeared in the Revenant with an efficiency that was not commensurate with his 300-year age. On the bridge of the Redeemer.

"You guys! Well done!"

These were the first words he uttered after seeing the heads of the two perpetrators that Calvin threw at his feet.

After traveling long distances, Grand Inquisitor Uther, who didn't even have a break, looked at the "trophy" under his feet and was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

He asked Calvin playfully: "About the nature of this incident, can I understand that since the beginning of the 32nd millennium, the gray knights who have returned to the real universe are finally going to take back the power deposited in the hands of my humble servants?" gone?"

"Is he one of us?" This was Calvin's question to Le's eyes.

After being affirmed, Calvin no longer hesitated, he said bluntly:

"If necessary, if circumstances permit. We do hope to make some minor changes to some of the systemic, structural problems that exist in the Inquisition Chamber."

Calvin, who didn't change his face, spoke in the tone of those imperial civil servants he knew who had no merit other than a sharp tongue, and gave Uther a firm but lenient answer.

"Hey~~! Unexpectedly, you, Calvin with thick eyebrows, big eyes and honest face, also learned badly from these imperial civil servants!

Such a long and difficult sentence, how can you say it without thinking?Well done!I like! "

This was Jule's inner thoughts after hearing Calvin's answer. His slightly raised eyebrows and quietly raised thumbs up were his hidden external support for Calvin.

And Uther, the Grand Inquisitor who had always kept a serious face, finally stopped maintaining his disguise at this time.

He laughed loudly and opened his arms, gently embraced the young man in front of him who proved himself with the head of a traitor and rebel, and said:

"Great job! There are more and more bastards like this in the trial court, and it's time for someone to clean it up!"

　Second watch, ticket.
