Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 99 A river of blood

In the capital of the Mariupol sector, the Inquisition's black ship docked at the capital's starport, while the Inquisitor, along with his acolytes and killing squad, traveled quickly through the streets of the hive city in a special car.

His nerves were on edge, carrying secrets as he made his way to the Inquisition's headquarters on this planet.

Any movement along the way would make him nervous, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to attack.

For an Inquisitor, his state was somewhat too tense. After all, there were people in the Empire who dared to attack an Inquisitor, but not everyone would dare to do it.

However, the secrets in his mind made him extremely wary of everyone, and he would not let down his guard until he met the Grand Master of the Inquisition.

In order to ensure that he could arrive at the Tribunal headquarters safely, he even called a team of bailiffs from the Ministry of Justice to escort him.

Looking out the car window at the two Ministry of Justice airships above him, the Inquisitor felt a little more at ease.

Although there were only two airships, if possible he would have preferred to order two Valkyries from the local defense forces, but the defense forces were the private army of the star governor, and they were not trustworthy to the Inquisition.

In comparison, the Ministry of Justice, like the Inquisition, is an imperial law enforcement agency with relatively higher independence and is more trustworthy.

Of course, the more important reason is that the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Justice's judicial police are a level higher than those of the Defense Force. When a small support force is needed, the Ministry of Justice's judicial police are more reliable than the Defense Force.

Thinking about this, the Inquisitor couldn't help but wonder what the secret in his mind was that made him so nervous.

Even he himself does not know the specific content of the secret blocked by psychic power, but the importance of the secret is not blocked.

Therefore, this inquisitor clearly knew that the secrets in his mind were related to the safety of the entire empire!

It can even be said that as long as this secret is leaked, a large-scale rebellion and war comparable to the Badab War will be set off, countless imperial worlds will be plunged into war, and billions of lives will be reduced to ashes.

What kind of secret could cause such terrible consequences? The Inquisitor did not know, but he knew he had to bring this secret to the Grand Master of the Inquisition, the highest person in charge of the Sector Inquisition.

The Inquisitor's car stopped at the entrance of the Inquisition headquarters, and the judicial police from the Ministry of Justice jumped off their airships and lined up to guard the Inquisitor.

The Inquisitor's own kill-team was finished deploying, and his acolytes were ready for battle.

Arriving at the Inquisition headquarters does not mean safety. After all, the factional struggles within the Inquisition are more intense than the war between the Empire and the Heretics.

Inquisitors from different factions have completely different attitudes towards certain things.

Some people believe that they need to constantly instigate wars, rebellions, and other events in the Empire to stimulate it and allow it to recover from its decadence and decline. To this end, they do not hesitate to harm the interests of the Empire by forcing a certain star region to rebel, summoning great demons, or even cooperating with aliens and betraying the Empire.

Others believe that the Empire must be pure, and all non-humans must die! Even the legal demi-humans certified by the Empire are the same! As for the Astartes, they are the largest group of aliens in the Empire, and they also deserve to die!
The Inquisitor had no intention of delving into which of the two factions was more ill. He was just a relatively conservative radical Inquisitor. Although he also hoped to do something to change the current situation of the empire, he definitely did not want to do something as ruthless as to drag most of the empire into war!

But that was just his opinion; others might not. "Who's that? Isn't this Inquisitor Paul of the Order of the Heretic?" A somewhat greasy, nauseating voice echoed, and another Inquisitor appeared before Inquisitor Paul. "So, you went to deliver the ship to that lucky guy? How does it feel to give your mentor's ship to someone else? Or are you reluctant to part with it and brought it back?"

Gazing at the man in front of him, whose three limbs had been replaced with prosthetics, Inquisitor Paul took a deep breath and said, "Move aside! I don't have time to waste on you. I need to see the Grand Inquisitor!"

Judge Paul had no intention of getting entangled with him, so he turned sideways and tried to bypass the guy who was blocking his way.

"I'm afraid that won't work. The Grand Inquisitor doesn't have time to see you right now, and I won't let you through." The Inquisitor blocked Paul's way with his prosthetic limb, his eyes instantly becoming fierce. "Unless you hand over the secret in your head, you will lie here today!"

The secret has been leaked! This was Paul's first reaction.

Although Paul followed Chen Xi's instructions and did not tell anyone that he had a secret in his mind, and he did not even use Star Message to contact the Grand Inquisitor, he made such a big move and rushed straight to the Inquisition headquarters after returning from Rostov. This was enough for someone with ulterior motives to make some judgments.

Not to mention that in the Warhammer world, sometimes you don't need to know the existence of a secret directly from the secret-keeper to get a glimpse of it.

Psychic prophecies, demonic hosts, alien devices... there are simply too many things and methods to let people know what they want to know.

From the time Paul arrived at the starport on the black ship to the time he arrived at the headquarters of the Inquisition, the time he spent on this journey was enough for someone to discover that he was hiding important secrets.

But it seems that they don't know much, or they know it too late.

Otherwise, they would not have taken action at the Inquisition headquarters, but should have done so in a place where it would be easier to intercept me!
Paul made a judgment in his heart, and then focused his attention on the judge who was blocking his way.

"Since you know it's a secret, you should understand that there are some things you can't interfere with." Paul tried to persuade the other party, but his hand was still on his weapon: "Get out of the way! I don't want to be stained with the blood of my fellow Inquisition members!"

"I'm afraid that's not up to you!" The judge had no intention of saying anything to Paul and attacked him directly.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out in the hall of the Tribunal headquarters, and the two Inquisitors' teams immediately engaged in a fight.

Because the two sides were too close to each other, the most brutal close-range fight started right away.

Everyone had no time to react and could only raise their weapons and attack the nearest non-friendly target.

The two judges also fought each other without holding back.

In an instant, blood flowed like a river in the hall of the Tribunal headquarters, which should have been solemn and dignified.
