Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 90 Titus Team

After resolving the issues concerning the state religion, Chen Xi immediately went to the black ship of the Inquisition.

This was not the black ship that had come before, but the judge on the ship was the one Chen Xi had seen before.

"Your Excellency the Judge, have you changed your boat again?" Chen Xi made a joke out of curiosity, but the implication was still to ask him why he came.

Although the arrival of this Inquisitor helped the Rostov II overcome its difficulties, Chen Xi did not think that it would be a good thing for an Inquisitor to come with an Inquisition black ship.

However, the judge simply spread his hands and said, "This is not my boat, it's yours! I'm here to give you a boat."

"What? My ship?" Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, but then he remembered that he had said this when he came here last time. The Interstellar Inquisition not only promoted his position, but also allocated a cruiser to him.

"Yes, your ship." The Inquisitor nodded affirmatively, and then explained: "Last time I reported your situation to the Sector Inquisition meeting, after discussion, it was decided to adjust the cruiser allocated to you into a black ship, and dispatched a Death Watch team to accompany you.

By the way, the Ultramarines Captain Titus you asked me to find for you is now in this team.

His case was more complicated. The Inquisitor who arrested him was confirmed to be corrupted, and he and other Space Marines were secretly imprisoned by the Inquisitor for nearly a hundred years.

Although they have been released now, they have not yet cleared the suspicion of disloyalty, so they cannot return to their original regiment.

Originally, this matter was not our business, but because of your request, we have taken these Space Marines and assigned them to the Deathwatch. Five of them now form a combat squad under your command."

As the judge spoke, he handed a thick document to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi took the file and looked at the files about this group of Space Marines. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Good man, this Inquisitor is really not afraid of offending people! He is a decline of the Nine Founding Chapters. Does he really think the Inquisition can do whatever it wants?"

It was no wonder that Chen Xi was surprised. The document in his hand showed that the Space Marines arrested by the Inquisitor were from founding chapters such as the Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Salamanders, Dark Angels and Blood Angels. It could be said that all nine founding chapters were included.

It can be said that if this list were released, it would definitely cause a political storm.

However, this matter can be big or small. Ultimately, it depends on whether it is the intention of the court or the personal behavior of the judge.

As for the relationship between the Inquisition and the Space Marines, it is actually a very delicate topic.

At least until now, the nine founding chapters have not caused trouble for the Inquisition because of this matter, even though they really knew about it.

"You and I are both inquisitors. We both understand that some people always cross the necessary boundaries, right?" The inquisitor shrugged and said to Chen Xi, "Anyway, I've brought you the people you requested. These people and this trouble are now yours. How you decide to deal with them is up to you."

"Okay, I got it. I'll take care of this matter." Chen Xi didn't care about it. These ten cans were indeed a trouble, but not so much that he found it difficult to deal with.

Ultimately, the Inquisition was one of the Imperium's most powerful branches, while the Space Marines were a politically tainted military group that had been severely marginalized in Terran politics and disdained by the High Lords. Before the Primarch's return, the Space Marines, due to their record in the Heresy, had been marginalized by the High Lords and targeted by the Inquisition.

If a Space Marine Chapter does not want to be seen as openly rebelling against the Imperium, it does not have the option of disobeying the Inquisition.

As for the founding chapters, their political influence is indeed enough for them to confront the Inquisition, but generally speaking, the nine founding chapters will not come into direct conflict with the Inquisition just because one or two people are investigated or arrested by the Inquisition.

Even the Space Wolves, who seem to be the most reckless, rarely fight against the Inquisition in real combat, except for the Shame Moon incident where the Inquisition really got in the way.

Therefore, even though this group of Space Marines came from the nine founding chapters, Chen Xi did not think it was a difficult matter to deal with. The Mariupol Sector Inquisition also thought so.

Otherwise, this matter will not be a benefit but a trouble.

This is inconsistent with the wishes of the Star Region Inquisition Meeting, which hopes to obtain more "loyalty" shares from Chen Xi.

Although when this matter was submitted to the Interstellar Inquisition, someone suggested using this incident to put pressure on Chen Xi, so that when he and the Space Marines came into conflict, the Interstellar Inquisition would come to the rescue and thus gain more "loyalty" shares, but this proposal was ultimately rejected.

It’s not that they don’t want to do so, but the nine founding war groups are unlikely to make trouble for this matter.

Moreover, they couldn't figure out whether Chen Xi wanted to rescue the person or had other intentions.

After receiving this team of Space Marines who are now Death Watch, Chen Xi, accompanied by the Inquisitor, visited the Inquisitorial Black Ship to learn about the situation of this ship that will soon belong to him.

"As a special type of strike cruiser, the Inquisition's Black Ship is basically the same as the strike cruisers used by Space Marines, except that some of the ship's facilities are more in line with the Inquisition's usage habits." The Inquisitor introduced them as he walked, his tone not without envy: "Your Black Ship was built in M38. It is a meritorious old ship with a history of two thousand years.

Its loyal machine spirit is so experienced that it can even fight a naval battle on its own without your command.

The sailor clans on the ship have served this ship for more than ten centuries. The positions and experiences passed down from generation to generation have allowed them to form their own unique culture, and everyone is proud to serve this ship.

The entire ship was recently recovered from the previous Inquisitor and underwent extensive maintenance before being delivered to you.

The Auger Matrix and engine on the ship were ancient technological creations found by the Inquisitor who had used them before. The macro cannons and light spears on the ship were also ancient creations from the M38 period. They were more powerful and had a faster firing rate than the common macro cannons and light spears today.

Taking your needs into consideration, the Star Region Inquisition has specially assigned you a Star Language Choir and a Navigation Team. Both are experienced teams, so you can use them with confidence."

"It sounds like a great ship. Is there anything else I should pay special attention to?" Chen Xi was very satisfied with the ship, but he always felt that the judge seemed to have not explained something.

Then, the inquisitor's words confirmed his suspicion: "Yes, there is one more thing, that is, there is a dark cell on the ship, managed by a quiet nun."
