Alexe Koch's eyes were very sharp, which was completely inconsistent with his age of more than 200. The moment he came in, everyone felt that the ruthless scrutiny glance swept through him. They were all commanders of the battle or company commanders, and no mortal dared to examine them like this.
But this man dares.
As he entered, there were more than twenty Crusaders of the State Cult. They wore expensive power armor, held large shields and power swords, and were in the same pace as combat robots.
In addition to the twenty crusaders, there were also the judge's semi-mechanical clerk, two psychics, four assassins of the Death Cult, four national sects carrying torches, ten storm soldiers, and other mixed warriors and scholars. Sixty and seventy people rushed in.
Bahram immediately realized that this was not just a meeting, but also a threat, and the other party was showing his strength.
Finally, after walking to the center of the hall, the Grand Inquisition stopped his black leather boots and glanced around again. After a short stay on Bahram, he froze on Artecus.
The court tugged up his pale lips slightly, revealing his golden teeth, and teased:
"Captain Artecus, your legs are so fast. Our warship engines are almost running and exploded and they didn't catch up with you. It would be great if you could use this force to destroy the Emperor's enemy."
Although he was smiling in his words, there was no smile in his eyes, but instead he became colder.
Artecus's eyes twitched, then snorted coldly and replied:
"Where we are going is our freedom, and we don't need to report to anyone."
"Oh? You forgot that you are on an expedition to atone for sins? Are you planning to break your atonement vow? That's simple, I can sign the extortion order on the spot."
"We have not broken our oath! We will destroy the emperor's enemy! But this does not mean that we cannot contact other Astat brothers!"
"The War Chapters of the Atonement Expedition must be under the supervision of the Inquisition, I hope you remember this."
"This is the court's provision."
At this moment, Arash suddenly spoke.
"The original idea of ​​the Atonement Expedition was that the Astarts' self-exile for redemption would not require anyone to supervise, which is the rule imposed by the Inquisition."
Alexe retracted his gaze from Artucus, and looked at Arash with some contempt and mockery.
"Is it a very childish idea to expect a sinner who has committed a sin and to reflect on and atone for a person without any supervision?"
"The Emperor is our custody."
"ha."
Alexe pointed at Artecus with his cane and smiled:
"If they really take the Emperor to heart, they will not collect the heresy unscrupulously. Commander of the Arash War, don't be blinded by the false brotherhood. They are a group of cunning speculators, and they may continue their depraved career with a little chance. The only way is to put them under surveillance that is always there."
With a swish, Artecus directly pulled out his explosive gun. This action also made the crusaders of the judge react immediately, and instantly formed a shield wall to protect the master, and others took out weapons.
Artecus pointed his gun at the other party and roared:
"If you continue to slander us with that stinky mouth, no matter how much power you have, I will definitely kill you!"
"Captain Artecus, don't be excited."
Bahram was worried that things would be out of control, so he hurriedly walked over and held the other party's arm. However, Mazar, not far away, kept silent and stood under the shrine and gently stroked his beard with his hands, as if he was an outsider.
Behind the shield wall, Alexa faced the Space Marine's explosive gun without fear and replied coldly:
"Slander? Why did the judge who monitored you before left? Do I need to tell you? Well, since you don't think it's important, the Fire Claws's Battleship has only participated in three battles in the nearly thirty years of Atonement Expedition, one was to 'suppress' a rebellion of tens of thousands of people, and two times eliminated two green pirates who were so small that they could only rob passing civilian ships. They spent most of their time wandering around in the void for various reasons, and turned a blind eye to the judge's instructions or all kinds of excuses. It was obvious that more than one billion people were being attacked by the Green Skin Warlords, and millions of star armies and several battle groups were fighting, but they turned a blind eye. Even the judges who monitored them could not accept such cowardice, and left on their own to assist in the battle..."
"fart!"
Artucus snapped and interrupted the Grand Inquisition.
"Who finally ended the life of that dirty beast by beheading? Who destroyed dozens of budding Chaos Sects? When we fought with the Chaos Devils summoned by the cultists in the bottom nest, your eyes were as blind as you! You were only staring at the threat in front of you and ignoring the greater harm that would break out in the future."
"This is not the reason for you to make a slippery battle, or you can ask the leaders of the surrounding battles what they think, which group still maintains such complete strength during the Atonement Expedition?"
Seeing Artecus becoming more and more excited, Bahram asked Arash to calm the other party, then turned around and said:
"Judge Alexei, that's not what it means. Each group has its own tactical style, and casualties are not achievements, but shame for the commander."
Upon hearing this, Alexe waved his hand, and then the shield formation in front of him retreated to both sides.
He looked at the warrior who was obviously not the commander of the battle group, and then asked:
"Who is the Astral Knight?"
"Tenth Company Commander, Bahram."
"Oh, Commander Ten, do you think there is no problem with Fire Claw's behavior?"
Bahram smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Then Judge, what do you think is a mortal Chaos believer or a huge Chaos Legion of millions of people, which one is more threatening."
The judge looked at Bahram, thought for a moment and replied:
"That must be the latter."
"Well, in 321.M37, the so-called Saint Balius convicted thirty battle groups and exiled them to the Eye of Fear to conduct a crusade for atonement. In the end, only one battle group returned, nearly 30,000 spacemarines were either killed or rebelled, but in the end it was proved that Balius was just a Chaos heretic. He even had a good end, but the damage he caused was greater than any Chaos Legion. So I don't think there was anything wrong with the idea of ​​the leader of the Battle of Artucus. The hidden dangers that cannot be seen are often the greatest."
"Can you escape the war obligations they should fulfill?"
"Why do you think they are escaping their duty to war?"
"When the judge who monitored them left, he sent me an invitation to hope that I could urge the Fireclaws to the battlefield they should go to."
"The battlefield should I go to?"
Bahram seemed to have grasped the point, looked back at Artecus, and then turned to the judge and asked:
"The battlefield you are talking about is..."
“Jerico Star District.”
“Achilles Expedition…”
