Warhammer in a box

Chapter 155 First Trial
After nearly half a month of training, this team of demon hunters will soon have their first exam.

The remaining 30 demon hunters were standing solemnly in the combat readiness room. All their equipment had been replaced, and a golden matte double-headed eagle was prominently displayed on their shoulder armor. This product of the divine symbol would protect them.

If there was anything in common between them and the previous demon hunters, it was that they were still dressed in black as before.

Everyone held their breath at this moment. The next task would test the results of their training over the past half month and would also determine whether they could continue to stay in the Inquisition team.

Gerhardt was still so serious. In fact, everyone present had noticed that they had never seen Gerhardt smile since they met him. He was always so serious, and his eyes were always full of vigilance.

The Inquisitor's seemingly enviable position actually means that they will face more evil and chaos that ordinary people cannot touch. The temptation of the evil god has tried countless times to lure them into corruption, and the Inquisitor will have to go through countless choices in his life, whether to save humanity with heretical behavior, or whether to use an extermination order to wipe out hundreds of millions of humans on an entire planet.

It is true that some Inquisitors can do it without frowning, but most Inquisitors still have their own emotions, and many Inquisitors who have issued extermination orders will still sentence people to death in the final judgment.

So the job of a judge is definitely extremely stressful. I don’t believe that anyone can remain optimistic under such circumstances.

Gerhardt had apparently almost forgotten what happiness was like, which led to him retaining his previous habits even after coming to this new world.

At this time, the priests in the room were analyzing the large amount of binary information flashing on the screen.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, the information has been analyzed. There are two locations suspected to be corrupted by Chaos, and one location confirmed to have cultists. The probability of the existence of demons is 2%."

The voice of the technical priest emanated from his converter. The churches everywhere were playing their due role. Every reaction of the divine symbol represented the existence of chaotic things around. These corrupted people always had a high interest in the churches of Terra and tried to sneak into them.

Tzeentch, Khorne, Slaanesh, and Nurgle, they are not just watching. Ever since Zhang Heng confronted Khorne and Tzeentch head-on as the Emperor, he has entered the vision of the evil gods, and the four gods are no longer so tolerant of such existence that can threaten them.

The cultists existing everywhere began to become active. They tried to corrupt Terra from within, but found that their efforts were fruitless and they even lost a lot of people.

Since the inside doesn't work, then let's surround Terra from the outside. In several small settlements on the edge of Terra, Chaos corruption has appeared that is several times more active than usual. The soldiers have come to clear them out, but without exception, they have failed to find it.

It's okay for a head-on battle, but this kind of professional work obviously has to be left to professionals.

This time, the target chosen by Gerhardt for the group was a place where the cultists were active and the situation was a little out of control.

The team was divided into three groups. The two teams with weaker strength ratings were assigned to deal with the two places where chaos corruption existed, while Hodges, Cosi, and the oldest demon hunter Zul who joined later followed Gerhardt to the place where the demons existed.

After the tasks were assigned, everyone went directly to the set target with the army. The main work would be done by Hodges and others, while the army that came along was to prevent the situation from getting completely out of control and to clean up the mess in the end.

However, this army did not bring any sense of security to Hodges and others. Looking at Gerhardt's expression, it was clear: "Army? Very good, if you fail, then I will let the army purify you together. The Inquisition does not need waste of precious materials."

Gerhardt in the car said to them: "The enemy this time should be the followers of Nurgle. Do you remember what you learned?"

"Remember, Lord Gerhardt!" "Don't let your guard down. Be careful of everyone around you. Don't give those Nurgle believers a chance to snowball their zombie army! The plague is pervasive. Once the two-headed eagle reacts, leave the scene immediately!"

Gerhardt still reminded them that although he was strict, it did not mean that he really wanted to watch Hodges and others die.

The convoy stopped not far from the settlement. This camp with about a thousand people was inhabited by people who came to Terra to beg for food. They were lucky enough to get jobs building railways. For the convenience of their work, they would move in their tents wherever the railways were built.

Originally, there were craftsmen from Terra and several policemen protecting and supervising this place, but within a month they all died of illness one after another. In this era, death from illness is actually a very common thing, and this kind of thing might not cause any ripples at all.

However, the mechanical priests still analyzed the abnormalities from the massive amount of information. All the deaths started when a doctor arrived at the camp.

At this time, the doctor was still in the camp. The deaths of craftsmen and policemen caused panic among the workers, and these diseases also showed a trend of spreading among the workers. Therefore, the patients were very dependent on the only doctor in the camp who was willing to treat them selflessly without asking for any compensation.

In this cruel society, this is obviously an abnormal situation. It's not that there are no selfless people, but they are too few. And when combined with these coincidences, it's almost certain that there is something wrong with this doctor.

The workers looked with fear upon the convoy of troops, while a few retreated towards the center of the camp.

"Doctor Steven! Someone is coming from Terra!"

"I understand. Go tell the workers that the people of Terra want to purify this place, just like the Church of Sigmar wants to kill those suspected of corruption. They want to send everyone to the stake!"

"I'm going right now! Praise the Father!"

The soldiers began to surround the camp without knowing who shouted.

"Brothers! These soldiers want to kill us all! They think we have the plague! In order to prevent the plague from spreading, they want to kill us all!" This sentence completely ignited all the workers present.

Some people were so scared that they begged for mercy loudly, while others were cursing loudly, but a gunshot made everyone present quiet down, and the person who had been shouting at the beginning had a hole in his head.

The old hunter Zul shot him in the head with a customized pistol with enhanced power.

"Be decisive! Don't show mercy to any believers of the evil god!" Zul muttered to himself.

"Not bad Zul."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

"Soldiers! Make everyone take off their clothes! One by one, let them be inspected!"
