Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 550 06.0549: "Mystery of the Unknown Battle Group"

"Unknown Space Marine Chapter?"

"Yes, the second sighting report came from an Imperial Navy light cruiser.

When they were ordered to contact the Chapter and ask them to identify themselves, the warships of the unknown Chapter did not accept the inquiry and directly made a subspace jump. "

Thei placed a report on the table and pushed it to Horatio.

"And then the third, a border watch post reporting the detection of an unknown Space Marine Chapter.

Initially, they did not engage in any hostile actions, but instead engaged in combat with the alien warships. However, after repelling the alien warships, the Monitoring Station sent a search boat to make contact in an attempt to discover their true identity, but was bombarded.

This is a picture taken by the search boat before it was destroyed, and it is not clear. "

"Can your Inquisition confirm that these two are from the same unknown chapter? I see why the logos of these two ships don't look like the same one." Horatio frowned and compared them, then slowly raised his head and said.

"I don't know, so this has become another investigative task for me."

"You have quite a lot of new personnel in your Inquisition."

"Same here, Captain. You're pretty much the same. Having just become a high-ranking officer like a lieutenant colonel, you personally carried out the first extermination order in your life. You have great courage."

Horatio chuckled and said, "What does this have to do with Brother Korchagin?"

“The Raven Guard are concerned about the affairs of these two unknown chapters, but have not yet explained the reason. They are still as mysterious as ever.

Brother Korchagin will not only fight against the aliens as a member of the Raven Guard's Death Watch, but also investigate the two chapters as an Astartes assigned by the chapter. They hope to find clues about the two chapters by casting a wide net."

Then, Thei raised the corners of his lips suggestively and smiled: "But why do the Raven Guard care so much about this matter?"

There was a lot of meaning in her tone.

"Speaking of which, Brother Korchagin's skills are truly amazing, and he doesn't seem like a junior Astartes."

"Your judgment is correct, Captain."

Thei pulled out Brother Korchagin's roster and pushed it to Horatio. "Brother Paul Korchagin, before joining Deathwatch, was already an honorary sergeant of the First Company of the Raven Guard and the company champion."

The heavyweight title almost made Horatio spit out the Reka coffee in his mouth.

"Excuse me, I have never seen such a senior warrior of such a high rank join the Death Watch. My impression is that those who join the Death Watch are all junior warriors, or those who are separated from the Chapter for some special reasons."

"He... did..."

Boom!Boom!
Brother Korchagin emerged from the shadows of the hall, and no one knew when he had been there or how much he had heard.

"Please let me answer this question myself, Your Excellency the Inquisitor."

Thei looked into Horatio's blue eyes and tilted his head.

"Please, sir."

Brother Korchagin removed his raven helmet from his head and walked over to Horatio.

“Once, as the honorary sergeant and company champion of the First Company, I followed the Chapter Master to ambush the alien command hub.

In that battle, we took the initiative but suffered a major defeat and I was defeated in close combat by an alien warrior.

She killed our Chapter Master in front of me, and as the champion of the First Company, I could only helplessly be rescued and evacuated by other monks. When I lay on the operating table, shame, hatred, humiliation, remorse, all kinds of emotions filled my heart. "

Horatio's eyes rolled around, and he roughly knew which battle Brother Korchagin was talking about.

In the battle where Shadowsun, the legendary commander of the T'au Empire, appeared as the commander of the campaign, the Raven Guard Chapter infiltrated the vicinity of the T'au Empire headquarters through intelligence and superb lurking skills, but when they took the initiative, they encountered Shadowsun's well-prepared counterattack.

She uses tactical deception and intelligence gathering to counter Raven Guard attacks as they occur.

The final outcome was that the Raven Guard ambush troops suffered heavy losses, the Chapter Master himself was killed, and the losses of other elites were difficult to estimate.

This heavy loss directly led to the end of the Raven Guard's large-scale infiltration warfare on the front lines of the Tau Empire. After that, they could only use a small number of troops to carry out special operations behind enemy lines, and they no longer had their former glory.

This situation was not improved until the founding of the Primaris Army.

"Revenge and redress are now the primary goals of the Raven Guard Chapter. Captain, if you can continue to cause significant damage to the Tau Empire, the Raven Guard will definitely repay you! And I will be a witness."

"Thank you, sir. I am only performing my proper duty." Horatio said modestly on the surface, but if he could do a favor for the Raven Guard, a founding group, it would undoubtedly give him an important extra guarantee when facing future crises.

"So, that's it in a nutshell, Captain. It's not as complicated as you think, is it?"

"Indeed, everything depends on the blessing of the Divine Emperor."

As he spoke, a man with an untidy beard and a somewhat sloppy look walked over.

He looked like a down-and-out bounty hunter, the kind of person you could see in any less orderly part of the empire, if you ignored the large crimson Inquisition rose knot hanging on his chest.

"Justice Clarence Ravenore." Horatio raised his hand and pointed, signaling the servant to bring him a glass of strong liquor.

The Inquisitor took the mug from the tray of the official servant who came running over, drank it all in one gulp, and then put the mug back.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I had such good wine. To be precise, it's been since I was on a mission in the Tau Empire."

"What's wrong? How bad is their wine?" Horatio sat up, clasped his hands together, raised his eyebrows, and continued his words teasingly.

"Not just rotten, but non-existent. The Greater Good customs these aliens believe in have taught humans to abandon the culture of drinking."

"That's too bad, no wonder our Imperial Navy has such a low defection rate during the war against Tau."

He made a little joke to illustrate the inseparable relationship between wine and the Imperial Navy, causing the officers in other seats to burst into laughter.

"So, what is the matter that brought you to see me?"

The Inquisitor sat down next to Horatio without any hesitation, leaning his dirty leather jacket against the smooth velvet-backed sofa and rubbing it hard as he stretched his body.

"For the following matters, you don't have to answer out loud. You just need to answer in your heart."

Horatio squinted at the Inquisitor and snorted, trying to see what he was up to.

"The heterochromatic girl taken from Abyss Port."

"What happened to her?" Horatio glanced at Ravenno and said in his heart: "I remember you said you would take her to Holy Terra to be selected by the Astronomican Court."

"Change of plans."
