When Soshiyang heard the other party directing the topic to the First Legion, he chuckled.
"Ha, just say whatever you have. There are no outsiders here, and I don't think there is nothing that cannot be said."
The great judge was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the other judges.
"The group of Chaos Traitors I just mentioned was finally investigated and found that they were led by a demon prince. At that time, all the judges of the Formoxa star area united to concentrate their efforts to hunt down this demon. As a learner, I was also fortunate to participate. After paying a huge price, although we failed to capture the demon, we drove it out of the star area. In the process, we found a stronghold of the traitor and snatched the body of a traitor after a fierce battle. After investigation, we found that he was actually wearing the old armor of the First Legion, and there were some records about the demon prince in the stronghold, which was enough to prove that he was once a member of the Dark Angel in the past!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was talking, but there was no change on Soshiyang's face.
Then, Tolkmada Ktiz turned around and looked at him.
"Samuel's action was not as simple as it was promoted. There are probably even deeper and darker secrets. I have never said these before. It is because my mentor once said that these things can easily cause some unnecessary trouble, so it is better to bring them into the grave."
Soshiyang applauded gently.
"A great judge, so what?"
"What?"
Soshiyang stretched out his hand.
"Evidence, evidence that proves everything you say. After all, no one has heard of what you describe, let alone see it with your own eyes. You have to come up with some evidence that convinces everyone, right? Whether it is the traitor, the demon, or the suspicion of the death of Judge Inal, at least for now, there is no evidence. I think even if the court convicts it, it is necessary?"
"The evidence is in your hands, and if Samuel is willing to accept our questioning, it will be a result soon."
"Sorry, I cannot put a company commander of Astart to trial without any evidence. I admit that the Court has the power to doubt and interrogate everything, but in the same way, I also have the power to use all the power and force in my hands for the benefit of the Empire and the Throne. Astart is also the messenger and will of the Emperor."
As he said that, his fingers drew a line in the void.
"We are supervising each other. If a judge shows signs of corruption, do I have the power to doubt and interrogate him?"
Tolk motor squinted.
"Without such a statement, the authority of the Inquisition is—"
“Astart was protecting the empire before the birth of the Inquisition.”
Soshiyan immediately interrupted the other party.
"The Astartes's sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sac
Not only Tolkmada, but other judges were also stunned. This was the first time they met someone who dared to confront him directly, or even analyzed the power of the court, and they did not meet a space warrior who spoke sharply but seemed like a political animal.
The point is, they really can't say anything.
Although all imperial institutions and organizations know that the jurisdiction over all imperial institutions, and in theory, a judge has the right to accuse the entire planetary government, recruit an entire astral army, influence the fate of all civilians on a certain planet, and interrogate the existence of such astral law as Astart.
But in the practical stage, reality makes things much more complicated due to the unique structure of the Inquisition and the over-spec power they acquire based on habits and traditions.
After all, the personal power of the judge does not come from a certain sacred code or a decree with clear entries. It is actually a convention similar to an oral will. It will naturally be constantly influenced by various external factors in the overall darkness and feudal power structure of the empire, and is also influenced by various political factors.
For example, when a judge takes action against a very influential heresy, it is possible that afterwards it discovers that the heresy is actually supported by his competitors, and is just for a larger goal, or for a cleansing of a certain planet without the consent of his colleagues, he will eventually find that he is excluded by everyone and cannot obtain assistance from his colleagues when needed, or even be subject to collective trial.
These hundreds of realistic factors limit the judges and often fail to do everything in actual operation, which further leads to the continuation of the tradition of the court without rules and regulations. In this non-standard law enforcement process, the judges must ensure that they have sufficient resources to act outside the framework of the empire. Paradoxically, this in turn requires the help of other imperial institutions. Therefore, although theoretically detached, in practice, the judges are essentially a group of "imperial bureaucrats", who are still passive or spontaneously in the bureaucratic framework of the empire.
"Commander General Soshyan."
Marcus spoke at this time.
"Didn't it mean that we can accuse Samuel of heresy crimes by finding evidence of the Dark Angel killing Inal?"
Soshiyang looked at the other party and nodded slightly.
"Naturally, murder of the judge is an unforgivable felony."
"What if I find those rebellious dark angels?"
Hearing Tolkmada's words, a strange smile appeared on Soshyan's face.
"Then I will ask the commander of Azriel to confront you in person."
The great judge nodded immediately.
"We will find the Demon Prince, who has no chance to escape this time, and hope that the Dark Angel can have an explanation for their former compatriots."
"Of course, the Reverend Azmodai of the Dark Angels Chapter...but is very happy to share the glorious history of the Dark Angels with others."
Tolkmada always felt that Soshiyan's tone was strange, and the inexplicable mention of a priest made him feel uncomfortable, but since he had said this, he had nothing to say.
After all, if you continue, it will easily turn into a dispute. From the fact that Soshiyan punished Minotao, he realized that the other party was definitely not the kind of space warrior with a muscle in his mind. He was really not sure if he really wanted to fight wits and courage.
The Heresy Court had just stopped, and a judge from the Alien Court suddenly spoke.
Chapter completed!
