"Everyone knows that back then-"
Just as the Grand Inquisition Tolkmada was about to talk about the similarities between Soshyan and Huron, an unexpected voice sounded, almost a whisper, but everyone could hear it clearly, as if the other party was right in their ears.
"........................ The appointment of him was also the representative of the Inquisition. Even if there was no logic, he had to make some basis when questioning."
Marcus will never forget this voice. He turned his head and saw the tall Cleudes holding his chest with his hands.
Tolkmada looked at the mysterious judge and frowned slightly, and after a few seconds, it stretched out again.
"Clayoudes is right, but suspicion is our duty, but the accusation naturally requires caution. This expedition is related to the rule of the entire empire in the Great Vortex area, and there should be no negligence."
"Can I ask a question?"
"Please say it."
"What's the point of doing when you come here?"
After pondering for a moment, Torkmada replied:
"I'll hunt down a hateful demon and heresy."
"So why did we call together?"
"Because I have received information, that thing has joined the Red Pirates against the Empire. To eliminate it, you must ensure that the expedition will be victorious. I call you all together to help the Imperial Expedition Force eliminate all the abominable heresies and demons!"
Although the other party spoke passionately, Cleudes just sneered.
"To assist the Expeditionary Force, we will naturally contact Soshyan Alexey. We do not need to deal with others. As for cooperation or not, it is our own decision. On the contrary, it is the purpose of your meeting of the Grand Judgmentary Tolkmada. I guess it is not to gain better weight and interests in the Expeditionary Force as the representative of the Inquisition?"
Marcus was very surprised at this time. Clayudes dared to refute the other party's face again and again. What is his background?
But his words obviously aroused the resonance of the judges around him, and their expressions also revealed their dissatisfaction at this time.
Tolkmada stared at Cleudes coldly, but did not occur, which further confirmed Marcus's guess - Cleudes' background is very unusual, and Tolkmada knew it.
Next, the great judge said something that surprised Marcus.
"Since you said that, I will be open and honest. In addition to hunting down the Demon Prince, I also accepted a mission from Terra to carry out the cleansing of the reconquering areas, ensuring that the heresy, witchcraft props and subspace creations captured or captured in battle are effectively destroyed and recycled."
As he said that, he took out a piece of parchment covered with poked parchment.
"This is my warrant."
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with us."
"If there are colleagues who don't want to cooperate, I will naturally not force them. After all, everyone has their own way of serving the emperor."
At this moment, Marcus was estimating how true the other party's words were. Tolkmada received the order from Terra, and it was probably the same for hunting the Demon Prince, but the following words are worth discussing.
He guessed that the other party's real task was to monitor Soshiyan.
as well as--
Tianliu Battle Team!
Marcus suddenly realized at this moment. Tolkmada held this meeting and summoned so many people. It is likely that it was a smoke bomb to release all kinds of news. What Terra really asked him to do was to teach a lesson to the Tianshi Team that had been repeatedly sued!
In fact, he personally thinks that the matter of Tianshi is just a small matter, just a little excuse, but some big names in Terra feel that they can't stand their face, and then rise to the authority of the entire court to be challenged. It's really unnecessary. What's more important is that the Tianshi Team is now in charge of the key second war zone and is also the leader of the first round of attacks. If they suddenly have problems, it will cause a huge blow to Soshiyan's plan and the entire expedition.
Marcus sighed in his heart that some people's selfishness is too heavy, and they completely overtake personal and organizational interests above the empire.
"......The Expeditionary Force must now need intelligence support. You are all loyal servants of the emperor. No matter what your position is, I believe they are consistent in serving the emperor. I am not familiar with the Great Vortex, but you must have a lot of relevant information in your hands. You can jointly establish an intelligence station in the Expeditionary Force to provide intelligence for the Expeditionary Force. At that time, with the help of the Expeditionary Force, everyone can definitely achieve their goals."
Marcus had already imagined this proposal from the other party, but he really had no authority, and now he was unable to make it first.
Most of the judges were still interested in this proposal and basically agreed.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and everyone discussed a lot about the situation of the Great Whirlpool area and the expedition. Most of the judges were not optimistic about the Imperial Expeditionary Force because they knew the power of the Red Pirates very well. Just as everyone left the party, Marcus found that there was a note in his pocket.
He didn't even know when and who was stuffed in, but only one line of words was written on it-
Come to Shadow Manor.
This place surprised Marcus because it used to be a secret stronghold he used in the past. How did the other party know?
After much thought, he decided to meet this mysterious man.
The so-called Shadow Manor is actually an abandoned noble mansion. It has been disrepaired. Its wealth and glory have given way to the dirty and tacky things that are necessary for a dilapidated ruin. It is covered by slums. Rows of rooms have been cut into the homes of some people who once were beaten up just by approaching the front door.
This place is a miniature microcosm of how the fate of the tranquility 2 changed. In the past, as the home of the Mantis Warriors, the place was once extremely prosperous, but after the robbery of the Man-Eatering Sharks, most of the rulers of the planet were killed or taken away. The civilians inherited the glory of their former rulers, but found that it was a painful legacy.
Even if they wanted to, they could not rebuild. They dared not do anything under the tyranny of the new governor of the empire.
When Marcus entered the yard, his hands were hidden under his coat, holding his weapons.
At first, the dilapidated and silent place was empty, but then he noticed that the shadow was twisted and a body slowly emerged.
Just like what he guessed, the only one who could put a note into his pocket without realizing it was this guy with a stronger psychic power than him—
Clayoudes.
When the mysterious judge approached Marcus, one of Marcus's entourage had already pointed a sniper rifle at the man's head on the distant tower.
“No need.”
Marcus waved his hand at the air, and the sniper moved his finger away from the trigger.
“It’s necessary.”
As a result, the other party suddenly answered.
Chapter completed!
