Warhammer in a box

Chapter 153 Judge Rose Knot
Kosi and others looked up at the huge church in amazement.

"Don't look at us, we're not going inside." Hodges said to them.

"Hmm? Then why did you bring us here?"

"Although it's not inside, it's here!" Hodges pointed to the ground.

"What do you mean?"

Hoquis didn't say much and took them directly to the restricted area on the side of the cathedral. Civilians and believers were forbidden to enter here, but there was a different world underneath this inconspicuous house.

Hodges led everyone through the gate and then came to a wall. Just when everyone didn't know why Hodges led them to face this empty wall, he had already placed his hand on the wall. With a flash of light, the wall originally supported by concrete actually opened, and an elevator appeared in front of everyone.

"What are you standing there for? Come in." Hodges got on the elevator first, and everyone else walked in under suspicious looks.

"Brother, what is this?" As the door closed, the elevator began to fall underground. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made everyone nervous.

However, Hodges smiled and said, "This thing is called an elevator. It can go up or down quickly. To be honest, my reaction when I first rode it was similar to yours. It was built by some guys here called technical priests. They built many things in this city that you would never have dared to think of before."

After a brief conversation, the elevator door reopened, and outside the elevator was a long and narrow corridor. As everyone stepped in, a green light swept over them, and a large number of thick gun muzzles immediately appeared on the walls on both sides and above their heads. The size of these gun muzzles was almost as big as half a person's head.

The owners of these gun muzzles are none other than the Wolf Spider Turrets. These fixed sentry turrets are common in the military in 40k. The ammunition used in 40k is heavy explosive shells. However, in the world of boxes, in order to save the limited resources, ammunition supplies mainly consist of improved gunpowder and solid projectiles are used.

Although its power and lifespan have been weakened, it is still powerful. Even if the great demon of chaos comes, he will probably be beaten into a sieve.

After all, technical priests and craftsmen are needed everywhere, and there is no way to solve the problems of human resources and materials. Every time Zhang Heng invests a chess piece, he will set aside a part of his faith to invest in the technical priests of the Mechanicus. This also doubles the basic priest personnel compared to the beginning.

Everyone except Hodges stepped back in fear.

"Detection, 15 unregistered personnel, 1 registered personnel, registered personnel clearance: Interpreter (Trainee Inquisitor) Unregistered personnel threat level low, Wolf Spider turret activated and alert."

A mechanical sound rang out, and Hodges quickly picked up the document signed by Rebecca and placed it between the testing equipment.

"According to the order of Saint Rebecca, Interpreter Hoquis led the subject here for examination."

"The document has been verified by the issuer, Ms. Rebecca, and is released."

After confirming the document, the turret was re-entered into the wall.

Kosi touched his forehead. He was already sweating coldly. He felt that he had never been so close to death in his life.

"Brother, this."

"Don't do this or that. Hurry up and don't let Her Excellency the Saint wait anxiously."

But Kosi had the urge to turn around and run away. What kind of place was this? It was too scary.

After passing through the corridor, there is a huge underground space. A large number of rooms and equipment are placed here. Each room has its own specific purpose. This can be said to be the last line of defense of Terra. The most trusted dwarf craftsmen and human craftsmen are qualified to participate in the construction here. Hodges led everyone to a room with familiarity and opened the door. The priests of 40K and the craftsmen who joined the Mechanicus in the Middle Ages were processing a huge amount of information here.

A highly modified priest was looking at the display in front of him. A large number of 010101 numbers flashed across the screen, and the information that had been parsed into binary would be re-parsed into text by the priest for overall analysis. The information here all came from Terra and the surrounding cities.

The caravans of the Jaeger Chamber of Commerce and churches in various places would send back any information they thought might be important.

"Saint Rebecca, I have brought the person here." Hodges said while kneeling on one knee. At this time, he had already pledged allegiance to Rebecca.

"Very good." Rebecca, who was originally carving a wood sculpture, put down the carving knife in her hand and stood up. She turned around and looked at Cosi and others.

In Cosi's eyes, Rebecca's inherent majesty even made them avoid her gaze and lower their heads. The only people they usually saw were priests or mayors in the city. Witchers were not that popular.

"Everyone, let me introduce myself. I am the Archbishop of Terra. I guess Hodges has already told you the purpose of calling you here, right?"

"Yes, sir, we are here at your invitation."

"Very good. On the road to destroying chaos, we have a few more like-minded people."

"Then do you have any tasks for us? Also, does Your Excellency have any restrictions or requirements for us?"

"Restrictions and requirements? That is to believe in the Emperor, but I don't need you to pretend. I believe that after you understand our teachings, you will spontaneously pray to the Emperor, and Terra will fully help you with weapons and equipment and logistical support. What you have to do is to eliminate those who believe in Chaos, even demons and Chaos itself, for the Emperor, Terra, and for mankind.

You are not qualified for the mission yet. You need to undergo training and assessment. Only those who pass the selection can truly join in."

"Not qualified?!" Kosi was obviously not very happy when he heard this.

"Kosi, don't be emotional!"

"Gerhard Walter, come out." As soon as Rebecca finished speaking, a burly figure walked out from the darkness on the side.

A burly man in armor walked over with a giant hammer as tall as a man, and an emblem on his chest swayed with his steps, attracting people's attention.

That was the rose knot that represented the status of the Inquisitor! Only the official Inquisitor could possess it, and it also represented great power.

"Is this the person you found for me?" Gerhardt frowned, obviously not satisfied with the person in front of him.

"Gerhardt, I'll leave these people to you. I hope you can train and test them?"

"They are too weak." In Gerhardt's eyes, these people might only be able to be apprentices in 40k.

"Gerhardt, this world is special. We need to select qualified candidates from among the people. They may not be strong enough now, but they have also made progress on the road to expelling chaos for many years. Don't go against the will of the Emperor."

"Okay, I get it, little guys. Come with me. Maybe you will have the opportunity to become a member of the Holy Hammer Order in the future, but the prerequisite is that you can hold on and stay alive." Gerhardt said dully.
