This Terra is a little weird.

Luo Chen nodded: "That's quite true. Without the Space Marines, there would be no glorious Great Crusade. But without the Astra Militarum composed of mortals, there would be no human empire at that time."

Tallulah had no idea what Luo Chen was talking about. He never said where he really came from. Everyone just thought of him as someone who came out of an ancient technology freezer.

However, looking at him like this, he should have regained his confidence.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Space Marines are always a minority. As mortals, we are the backbone after all, so let the Sea Heirs come."

Tallulah checked the time. It was already late. "They should all be asleep."

"Then you can sleep here with me."

"We have to leave early tomorrow, you know?" Tallulah blushed slightly: "If you have any ideas, how about we go on a date after we get back?"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up: "Okay, let me take a look."

Luo Chen tidied up, cleared out the things on the lower bunk, and made the bed.

"You going to bed first?"

"Let me finish your work first, or I won't be able to sleep."

"Ok."

After the two of them had tidied themselves, Luo Chen didn't feel like climbing up to the upper bunk to sleep, so he stayed on the lower bunk with Tallulah, and the two of them hugged each other and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, the Thunder Eagle landed, carrying several teams from Rhodes Island and more supplies, and followed the first group of Thunder Eagles to Iberia.

After flying for several hours, the Thunder Eagle formation saw a coastal town. Looking at the coordinates, it was undoubtedly Granfalo.

So in a flat area 25 kilometers away, two Thunder Eagle formations landed in different areas and set up camps respectively.

Then two light mountain bikes were unloaded from the Thunder Eagle. Luo Chen and others boarded one of them. Rhodes Island sent several people to board the other one. They were all wearing Iberian costumes. Luo Chen wanted to meet with the deep-sea hunters represented by Elini first to find out the situation.

Not far from the town, they got out of the car, hid it, dispersed and walked to the town, and then met at the central square.

Everyone’s first priority is to find Elini, who knows the situation here.

But this town not only made Luo Chen feel depressing, the sea breeze mixed with the smell of blood made him feel very uncomfortable.

Did Hai Si land here?

Let's find Elini first and ask her about the situation.

Chapter 182: Calm but Weird

Luo Chen and Ni Yan wandered around the street, but they couldn't find where Elini was. Asking other people also yielded no results.

"Luo Chen, if you can't find it, come back today. We have already recorded the structure of the town."

"Okay, we'll go back now."

Since the command has been assigned to the doctor, everyone must execute the orders meticulously. The plot where someone disobeys orders and says they want to search for a while longer, only to encounter a fortuitous encounter, is only seen in TV dramas. Unless it is an extreme situation, any order must be executed without hesitation. Obeying orders is the basis for victory.

But maybe a miracle really happened. Luo Chen saw a man dressed very differently, like an Iberian inquisitor. Why would an inquisitor come to such a remote place?

Luo Chen thought about it. Elini's clothes were different from those of ordinary Iberians, and she didn't have any characteristics of an Ager. So why did she say in her letter that she was a deep-sea hunter? Was it to confuse them or to keep it a secret? Was her real identity an inquisitor?

So, does this mean that the illegal actions of Rhodes Island and the Cadia Group have been known to the Iberian Inquisition?

Luo Chen suddenly felt something was wrong.

"All teams, hurry up and leave the town."

Dr. Luo Chen: "This is B-1, Doctor."

"Luo Chen? Please speak."

"We found an Iberian Inquisitor in the town. Elini is not a deep-sea hunter. She is most likely an Iberian Inquisitor. I think Iberia has already known about our illegal entry."

"Retreat first."

"clear."

Luo Chen and Niyan quickened their pace, but were blocked by someone just as they left the town. The person was none other than the Iberian Inquisitor.

"Mr. Dario, seeing is believing."

"My friend, you are quite capable to reach out to the Iberian Tribunal and get information about the Inquisitor. Is it because Iberia has fallen on hard times, or have you lived too long?"

Luo Chen gently touched the mudstone to prepare her for battle. The Iberian Inquisitors were not good people. In Luo Chen's opinion, their behavior was just a weakened version of the Imperial Inquisitors. But no matter what kind of Inquisitor they were, Luo Chen didn't like them, or rather, no one liked these guys at all.

Since this person is blocking me, he should know about their affairs.

Elini wrote a letter like that, so she must have lured them here and arrested them, right?

Luo Chen then said tentatively and provocatively: "Both."

"Humph!" Dario snorted coldly and then laughed: "Hahaha, I admire your courage. You must be the one Elini found, right? Are there only a few of you?"

"The Inquisition is unaware of this?"

"They only knew that there was a sea heir in Glenfalo, so they sent us here, but you, we are the only ones who know."

"What this means is that the court should just pretend that we were never here.

Is this right here? "

"That's right, Mr. Luo Chen, I'll take you to find Elini."

"Hold on."

Luo Chen contacted the doctor and told her what happened.

The doctor thought for a while and said, "Luo Chen, you go with him. The Space Marines will be here to support you at any time if you don't contact us in an hour."

"clear."

So Luo Chen and Niyan followed Grand Inquisitor Dario to a dilapidated tavern, where the drinkers cast disgusted looks at Dario and his group.

Mudstone felt bad: "Mr. Luo Chen, they don't seem to like us."

Luo Chen spoke so that Dario could hear: "Outsiders are fine, but what they really don't like is the Inquisitor, right?"

Dario chuckled and said, "Mr. Luo Chen, you don't have to try to trick me now. No one likes the Inquisitor, and the people of Granfalo especially don't like us. When you meet Elini, she will tell you everything."

"Elini is your subordinate. Shouldn't you, as the boss, tell us about this?"

"I'm very tired and don't want to open my mouth. Let the little bird tell you."

"..."

Luo Chen had never been so speechless in his life. Wow! This person! Although he knew that it was impossible for him to sit on the throne of the Grand Inquisitor without some skills, but, what on earth was wrong with this attitude?

Mudstone looked at Luo Chen's indignant expression, then looked at Dario.

"Mr. Luo Chen often throws work to Mr. Qiduo."

Luo Chen was choked by Niyan's words.

How does this child speak?

What's my relationship with Qiduo?

Right?

But, Luo Chen is looking at Dario now.

Oh! The same kind.

When they arrived at the private room on the third floor of the tavern, there were a group of inquisitors standing there. Compared with these ferocious inquisitors, Elini with her cold eyes was so cute.

No wonder Dario called her little bird.

"Mr. Luo Chen."

"Ms. Elini, should I address you as Judge?"

The judges around him cast a scrutinizing look at Luo Chen: "Foreigner, watch your words, this is Iberia, not Ursus."

"This is Granfalo, not the capital of Iberia."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, don't even think about starting a war with me here. Maybe you can kill me, but you won't survive for more than 20 minutes. I believe what Elini told you about the Space Marines. There are 30 of them 10 kilometers away from here. You can try the power of the bolt bullets. What do you think? Inquisitor? In this Granfaro, I believe the disappearance of the Inquisitor is not a serious matter, right?"

The inquisitors drew their weapons and pointed them at Luo Chen. Mudstone raised her hammer. She looked at Luo Chen. Was he mentally ill?

You're surrounded by people and you still want to provoke them?

Luo Chen certainly had his own ideas. Since Dario didn't kill him immediately, it meant that they really wanted to negotiate with Luo Chen and others. In this case, Luo Chen would show his cards first. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was definitely effective. He would tell these inquisitors clearly that I have more people and are very strong. If you want to start a fight, only I will die. Don't have any evil ideas.

It is also to provide bargaining chips for subsequent negotiations so as not to be at a disadvantage.

But there are also disadvantages. The inquisitors may deceive him about information or not tell him the whole story in order to achieve their own goals.

Dario asked everyone to lay down their weapons: "Mr. Luo Chen, we want to cooperate with you. The Inquisition does not know about this matter, and we will not report it after it is completed."

"This is our basic requirement for negotiation. Don't use this as an excuse. I want to hear your intelligence first. After that, we can talk about cooperation. I know that this shoal has already started boiling. You guys will be scalded to death sooner or later. So if you want to cooperate, show your sincerity and don't play tricks on me."

Dario smiled and said, "As rumored outside, Mr. Luo Chen, your style of doing things is really unique."

"I'm an old soldier. I'm not in the mood to beat around the bush with you. Let's talk openly and act quickly."

Dario raised his hand to signal Elini.

Elini said, "The thing is, Granfalo was once quite glorious, but later it fell into decline. We, the Inquisitors, had a hard time here. Later, the Sea Heirs appeared, so we settled here. But I don't know when the church in this town started to oppose us. The townspeople supported them, which gave us a headache. The continuous emergence of the Sea Heirs also made our way to the lighthouse difficult."

"Why are you heading to the Lighthouse?"

"Because the lighthouse was built by the Agor people who live on the bottom of the sea, it was a channel for Iberia and Agor to communicate. Agor is a highly developed country that has always been on the front line against Haisi. We in Iberia fought with them for a long time, but then for some reason, the communication was cut off. After a long time, Haisi came ashore, and Iberia gradually lost a lot of land. So we plan to contact the Agor people on the bottom of the sea again. If the two countries join forces again, there may be a chance to control the threat of Haisi."

Luo Chen shook his head after hearing this: "Have you never thought about it? Why did the Hai Si come ashore? Did the Agor people drive them ashore? Our research in the laboratory tells me that the Hai Si's ability to adapt and evolve is so terrifying that it is very likely that the Agor people will not be able to protect themselves."

"We in Iberia are also in a difficult situation right now. That is why we need to reestablish contact with Agor. Otherwise, our two countries will be defeated one by one."

"You are not without reason... If Iberia falls, it will be the end of the earth, so I am willing to help you."

Elini bowed briefly: "Thank you."

"But I must tell you, I'm not trying to discourage you. Hai Si will eventually land in Iberia."

The judges' eyes turned sharp.

Luo Chen immediately took out a picture: "When we came here, we launched a detector into the sea. It is the same as the bird-blow instrument. You can think of the bird-blow instrument as an enhanced detection device."

The judges gathered around, and Luo Chen pointed at the large red patches and the small blue patches and said, "The red ones are sea creatures, and the blue ones are seawater. I don't know the exact number of large red patches, but it is definitely beyond imagination. It is difficult to know how these creatures survive, but this is just a scan of an area of ​​more than 300 kilometers. Everyone, I believe you all know how big this ocean is. There are too many sea creatures. I am afraid that Algor and Iberia can no longer defend against the sea creatures as they did before."

An inquisitor stood up and said, "What about the earth? What about the countries on the earth? Are they ready? Are they going to let Iberia die?"

Daario placed a hand on the Inquisitor's shoulder. "Calm down."

"I'm sorry... Grand Inquisitor."

Luo Chen said, "I'm sorry to tell you that the earth is not ready at all, or it will never be ready. There is no such thing as being ready for war. The earth now can't even maintain a loose and short-term alliance, and it may be difficult to support Iberia. The countries that can really fight are still in the north of the earth, still guarding against evil demons, and can't help Iberia at all."

"Will Iberia finally fall?"

Dario slammed his sword to the ground. "So what if we finally fall?!"

Everyone looked at him, the Grand Inquisitor.

"Don't forget what we are fighting for. If destruction is the final fate of Iberia, then let it come. I will not forget my oath and my creed. I will never forget that I am a human being. Burn my life, burn my final fate, and fight to the last moment. Humans should never be weak!"

Luo Chen stood up. He instantly felt respect for the Inquisitor. How similar were his words to the oath of the Star Army?

We fight for the Empire, we fight for humanity, we fight for the Emperor! From Holy Terra to the Eye of Terror, we spread the glory of humanity, we spread the purity of humanity, we burn our lives, we burn the Emperor's currency, we are the Emperor's hammer, we fight for the Empire of Man, remember our oath! Soldiers of the Astra Militarum, march towards the dark galaxy!

Luo Chen slammed his fist heavily on his chest: "Greetings to you, Lord Dario."

Dario responded with Iberian courtesy.

After some ideological struggle, the Inquisitors accepted their fate. The Grand Inquisitor was the object of their pursuit, and they had all vowed to fight for Iberia. So no matter what the final outcome was, the Inquisitors would fight to the last moment.

Luo Chen sat down: "Tell me about the church that is making things difficult for you. Do the townspeople support them?"

Elini nodded. "The church has existed for a long time. They have been against the Inquisition before our group came here, but we couldn't find a reason to punish them. The townspeople defended them, but strangely, after the Inquisitor left, the townspeople of Granfalo began to exclude the church. They have a big problem."

"Have you ever thought that the church might be related to Haisi? After all, creatures like Haisi, who are like natural disasters, have extraordinary wisdom. What if they can think of cultivating traitors among humans?"

The judges looked at each other, and one of them said, "It's not that we haven't thought about it, but we have checked again and again, and there is no result at all. The church has not even had any activities these days, and there are not many people on the streets. It's too quiet, so quiet that it's eerie.
