Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

"Nono, Cassia, Ajieta, you stay here."

Noah gave instructions and walked into the sanctuary alone.

At the centre of the sanctuary was Guilliman's throne, and the Primarch sat upon it, just as he had done ten thousand years ago.

Kalga, who had just crawled out of the ICU not long ago, noticed Noah's arrival and nodded slightly to him.

Opposite him was the lady with her back to Noah.

The black dress wrapped around her tall and slender body, and her long silver hair fell naturally like a waterfall.

She was looking up at the walls of the sanctuary, where the battle flags were hung.

Each side is as tall as an Imperial Knight, and the finely woven fabric depicts the glorious exploits of the Ultramarines - slaying aliens, executing heretics, saving the world, and destroying the world.

Each painting clearly displays the past achievements of the chapter, with clearly visible Imperial eagle emblems and coats of arms printed on them.

In addition, there is another being shrouded in halo and sitting on the throne - the Emperor.

"Praise the Emperor," she said.

The sound is as sweet as a spring and as cold as winter.

"Praise the Emperor," Noah echoed.

She turned around, looked back at Noah, smiled and nodded:

"Hello, Your Excellency Noah von Valancius. My name is Vivian, and I am from the Order of the Holy Hammer."

Noah smiled back:

"Greetings, Judge Vivian."

Fair skin, delicate face, silver hair and blue eyes, and the name is exactly the same.

Confirmed, this is the Inquisitor’s wife that he created!

In the human empire, there are at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of inquisitors of the Inquisition.

But among so many people, the court was able to accurately send his wife to try him.

This is such a coincidence.

But in this case, Noah had to ask:

Who in this court is suing me?

Vivian said softly:

"Let's get started, Lord Noah, and Captain Calgar. I need you to tell me in detail about your experiences on Daven."

"Let me do it."

Calgar took the initiative to speak, recounting in detail what had happened from receiving the interstellar message for help, to organizing the fleet, to the "chance encounter" with the Blood Angels and Dark Angels in the Daven star system, to the landing on the surface.

Vivian listened to his story silently, then looked at Noah and asked:

"So, you are the only one who finally entered the temple, right? Noah von Valancius."

Noah admitted frankly:

"Yes, only me. Also, Inquisitor Vivian, you can call me Noah."

"So, Noah."

Vivian looked at him, her expression still cold:

"let's start."

"What?" Noah asked confused.

"I must conduct a thorough review of you to ensure that what happened to you was not a conspiracy by the Chaos Enemy. So -"

Vivian pointed to the glorious emperor on the battle flag and said slowly, "Pray to the emperor and prove your loyalty."

Noah was speechless.

In the past, he always used this method to confirm whether others were loyal to the Emperor, but now he had to pray to the Emperor instead.

Honestly, it's difficult.

He also prayed to the Emperor several times, but each time he did so in secret.

This is the first time that I have prayed to the Emperor in public in front of others.

But everything has a first time, and Noah was mentally prepared.

Noah stood under the Emperor's battle flag, closed his eyes, and recited devoutly:

"With every bit of my strength,

With every inch of my will,

With every ounce of my soul,

I swear,

My soul and my faith,

Of the Immortal Emperor,

Shepherd of mankind."

Noah admitted that this was the most uncomfortable prayer he had ever experienced.

But it’s only at the beginning. Once you start praying, things will go much smoother.

Although he did not have any devout faith, Noah still felt warm, as if the Emperor was really watching him.

wrong!

Noah opened his eyes and was greeted by a holy light.

The light did not come from anywhere else, but was emitted from him!

"really."

Vivian showed a surprised expression and exclaimed, "Noah, this is not a heresy, it's just that the Emperor has been watching you!"

Noah asked, "Is this proof?"

"of course."

Vivian said, "Nothing speaks louder than the Emperor."

This is true.

Even to those Space Marines who do not see the Emperor as a god, he is a powerful psyker. It was his sacrifice upon the Golden Throne that sustains the Imperium of Man to this day, and it is because of him that the Astronomican burns.

It is quite reasonable that such a powerful psychic could bestow blessings upon certain humans in the dark.

If it were a priest of the State Church standing here, he would firmly believe that Noah was a saint of the Emperor - the reason why he was a saint rather than a living saint was that he had not yet achieved outstanding achievements that could be made public like other living saints.

After all, the living saints in the history of the empire either frequently performed miracles in front of the world, or went on a great expedition to recover territory. Compared with them, Noah's known achievements are indeed a little behind them. After all, he can't just say to everyone, "Dou Ya and I killed a demon prince together," right?

But the problem is that the person standing here is not a priest of the state religion, but an inquisitor!

Even if Noah was truly a saint certified by the Emperor, and even if the Inquisitor could not find any evidence, Vivian was able to easily resolve Noah's "suspicion of heresy", which was quite incredible even for Calgar.

Because in most cases, the judge will lock someone up first even if there is no evidence. You ask for evidence? Why are you in such a hurry? You can just find it slowly while you are in prison!

Even if no evidence can be found, those stubborn judges are likely to create some evidence themselves.

Especially since Vivian is a member of the Order of the Holy Hammer, this makes Calgar even more alert.

Among the three major orders of the Inquisition, the Order of the Hammer is the most extreme, the most stubborn, and the easiest to offend people.

Of course Calgar believed in Noah. Noah had proved his loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor with countless practical actions.

Otherwise, he would not have come to the Inquisitor right after he came out of the ICU. The purpose of doing so was to stand up for Noah in front of the Inquisitor. If the Inquisitor wanted to arrest Noah without explanation, Calgar would also try his best to protect him.

Out of respect for the Ultramarines, most Inquisitors would back down at this point.

As a result, there was no need for Calgar to step forward, Vivian gave up on her own initiative.

It was so smooth that Calgar felt a little uncomfortable and started to suspect there might be some conspiracy.

Vivian could see that Calgar was suspicious of her, but she did not explain and just continued:

"The Tiger Claws' application for reconstruction has been approved by the High Lords' Council. This time I also brought with me some gene seeds of the Tiger Claws kept by the Martian Mechanicus. These gene seeds can be used to train new soldiers under the supervision of the Ultramarines."

There was no joy on Karga's face, instead his brows were furrowed.

Something is wrong! Ten points or even nine points are wrong!

The lenient censorship of Noah can also be explained by the fact that Vivian is a devout believer in the Emperor.

But for the reconstruction application of the Space Marine Chapter, the entire process will take at least five years!

But from the time they sent out the astropathic signal, to the time Terra received the astropathic signal, to the time the Inquisitor set out from Terra, the connection in between was almost seamless!

This is equivalent to Terra just receiving the astropathic signal and immediately agreeing to rebuild the Tiger Claw Chapter, and letting the Inquisitor go to Mars to bring the Tiger Claw's gene seeds and rush to Macragge without stopping.

How did Terra get such high efficiency?

Is there any internal connection with the Tiger Claw Chapter?

Impossible! If Tiger Claw had anything to do with it, they wouldn't have waited until now to ask the Extreme Warriors for help.

So why is this?

Who can have such a big face?

It can't be that the emperor gave the order himself, right?

Karl added, "I need to test the gene seed first."

He couldn't guess why all this happened, but at least it was beneficial on the surface, so he had no reason to refuse.

Vivian replied:

"Of course. The reconstruction of the Tiger Claw Chapter will be the responsibility of the Ultramarines. I will not interfere."

After a pause, Vivian said softly:

“Besides that, there is one more thing.

Vivian looked at Noah:

"Noah, this is about you."

"Me?" Noah was surprised.

Vivian asked:

"Do you remember Inquisitor Zoulas?"

"remember."

Noah recalled, "I met him once at Corden Tertius."

It was indeed a one-time meeting, and it was quite unpleasant.

The judge was worried that he would steal the credit, so he kept ostracizing him in both overt and covert ways.

Vivian said softly:

"He betrayed the Empire."

Noah's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately guessed part of the truth. He asked:

"And what about Corden Tertius?"

"The rebellion began on the forge world of Corden Tertius."

Vivian said lightly, "The rebellion has now spread to dozens of worlds in the Skarrus sector, and the Empire is busy drawing troops from various nearby sectors to quell the rebellion."

Karga's face slightly changed when he heard this, and his expression became extremely solemn.

A rebellion in half a sector, even in a remote sector, is worthy of the Empire's attention. And if the rebellion occurs in the Skarrus Sector, it is even more serious, because next to the Skarrus Sector is the Eye of Terror!

In the Eye of Terror universe, the most important star region is undoubtedly the Cadian star region.

In order to prevent the Chaos invasion of the Eye of Terror, the Empire expended countless resources to transform the world of Cadia in the Cadia system into a fortress world as a gateway to guard the Cadia Gate.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Cadia's defense is second only to Holy Terra!
