Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 766 07.765: "The Indelible Number"

"..." Inquisitor Black Hammer remained silent. He stared at Horatio, eager to learn his true position from him.

"Black Hammer Inquisitor, I want to say."

Horatio stared into Black Hammer's dark eyes and said solemnly:

"Life is the Emperor's currency. We are not afraid of fighting Chaos and Aliens at the same time, but we have also won. The temporary compromise strategy has allowed a large number of the Emperor's precious assets to be preserved. If the Emperor's currency is squandered for no reason, I think it is also a betrayal to the Emperor.

The crisis is coming and getting worse, and we need to save a lot of blood for the more brutal war later."

"Colonel Cochrane is absolutely right."

Thei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sickly and cold smile, "Alien, is just a handkerchief in the hands of a lady, it will be ruthlessly discarded after use.

Becoming specimens soaked in preservatives is their best fate.”

The Black Hammer Inquisitor glanced at his fellow radical, and he could tell from her actions and words that this woman was not joking.

In her eyes, aliens are nothing more than specimens waiting to be processed.

Just as Inquisitor Blackhammer was watching Thei in deep thought, Horatio suddenly reached out and tightly grasped the iron hand of Inquisitor Blackhammer wrapped in power armor.

The Black Hammer Inquisitor was startled and instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but found that he could not break free from Horatio's control.

『Elocution test begins』

"Inquisitor Black Hammer, you are a pious and loyal person who can keenly sense the breath of traitors and see through evil conspiracies. As loyal servants of the Emperor, we should stand on the same front and jointly deal with greater threats in the future."

Horatio stared into the eyes of the Black Hammer Inquisitor and said earnestly: "I swear again to the Lord of Mankind. I, Horatio Cochrane, descendant of the legendary Admiral Spyr, son of Captain Lord Thomas Cochrane, Captain of the Imperial Navy, Lord of the Empire, and Knight of Honor Macragge. I hereby swear that if I betray the Empire of Man, you will take my head and present it to the God-Emperor to adorn His throne."

Inquisitor Blackhammer stared into Horatio's eyes, trying to find any trace of lies in them.

However, he failed.

In those piercing eyes, he saw only burning determination, a firm resolve to save humanity.

"Why do you do this? As an officer of the Imperial Navy with a bright future, why do you want to get involved in so many matters beyond your duties?" Inquisitor Black Hammer avoided Horatio's fiery gaze and asked in a low voice, with less hostility in his tone.

"You must have noticed that the world is becoming increasingly dangerous.

Wars broke out frequently, and rebellion spread like a spark across the sacred territory of the Lord of Mankind.

The dry bones on the Golden Throne scream out a warning, but no one listens.

We feel the call to integrate the power of the human empire and meet the greater crises of the future."

"What makes you think you can shoulder this responsibility?" Inquisitor Black Hammer raised his head slightly and looked directly into Horatio's eyes.

"Each generation has its own mission. Since I carry the blood of Speyer, I should follow the divine guidance and make my aspirations clear.

If I fail to accomplish this mission..."

Horatio patted the Black Hammer Inquisitor's shoulder armor and walked past him, "Then let our blood water the seeds of hope for the future.

Generation after generation will inherit our legacy and fight until humanity achieves final victory." "Although what you said makes sense, I have seen many people like you fall into the aliens' traps, and even betray the Emperor and become aliens' lackeys. You are still too young." Inquisitor Black Hammer stared at Horatio's pupils and said sternly. His tone was both cold and like an elder's earnest teachings to his disciples.

Horatio smiled and turned around.

Farida Hood and Teipelu followed him towards the command bridge.

The Black Hammer Inquisitor watched the three men leave, his eyes falling on the blue cape fluttering behind Horatio.

“You can’t agree with us on the aliens, but at least we agree on the heretics.

I suggest investigating Lord DeLang, the Admiral of the Supreme Lord of the Nebulous Segmentum.

From my perspective as a senior naval officer, some of this gentleman's behavior seems unusual, even suspicious." Horatio waved his hand, leaving this clue.

Inquisitor Black Hammer looked at Horatio's departing back and silently memorized the name in his heart.

[As a captain in the Imperial Navy, he is going to report the top admiral of the Navy in the Hazy Star Region... This is naked rebellion, is this an inflated ambition or a sharp vigilance?

Interesting, Horatio Cochrane, I remember you and what you said today.]
"Finally, I must remind you, Colonel. The differences and disputes between the Radicals and the Purists are not something you can resolve with words today. If the conflicts and ideas between the two factions could be resolved with words alone, then there wouldn't be so much bloodshed in the Inquisition."

Black Hammer turned his back to Horatio and said unceremoniously: "I let you go today only because I still have a little trust in you, and I need to verify the clues you provided me. I will not make any compromise with the dirty and blasphemous radicals.

But you must remember that only purity can save the empire.

Any strange and bizarre skills of aliens are the fuse that paralyzes humans and encourages conspiracy that harms humans."

A dangerous coldness flashed in Black Hammer's eyes: "When you lose the last bit of trust from me, I will find you again, but that time, my hammer will fall on you first."

The Black Hammer Inquisitor turned around, snorted coldly, and walked in another direction carrying his war hammer alone.

The difference from the last time was that this time, the Skyhawk Hammer released the energy of the decomposition field.

Having successfully dealt with the danger in front of him, Horatio felt slightly relaxed and walked briskly towards the command bridge.

"Captain!" Accountant Yin Shuyao came running over in brown leather shoes, holding something like cloth in her arms and with a panicked look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Horatio asked curiously.

"I found a...military flag on your bedroom wall."

Yin Shuyao looked flustered and frowned as she said, "This flag does not belong to this battleship. I checked the information and found that it is... a regimental flag of the Krieg people, but it appeared out of thin air on the wall of your bedroom.

It wasn't there when I cleaned your room this morning, which is really weird, and I guarantee no one but me has been in your bedroom during this time."

? !
Hearing Yin Shuyao's incredible words, Horatio opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

With disbelief in his eyes, he took the military flag from the girl and unfolded it.

call.

As the cloth was unfolded, golden gold embroidery was engraved on the background of black velvet cloth. Under the eagle claws of the eagle skull in the middle, the words "MCCCXIII" in High Gothic were clearly engraved.

Krieg Death Korps, 15th Siege Corps, 1313th Infantry Regiment.
