An ancient sage of Terra once said that anything that could go wrong will eventually go wrong. When Soshiyan arrived at the trace of victory, he finally truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
In fact, when Bahram brought back a series of news about the Relics of the Chapter, Soshiyang felt a little uneasy. It was either he thought that the group would be rebellious or something, or simply that this group of people was very different from ordinary Astartes. Although there was no lack of alternatives in the League of Suffering, they gave people the feeling that it was not just alternatives, but also a kind of intuition that gave people a very bad intuition. Soshiyang was a little worried that this group of people might cause trouble at the time.
Sure enough, as soon as he came to the trace of victory, he was not welcome, but Alash with a sad face.
The Fire Claws, or the Relics Team, did cause trouble—
The story starts with the abandoned ship operation initiated by the Grand Judge Alexe Koch. For this operation, the Grand Judge not only had to leave a company of the Relics War Chapter, but also found a group of assassin masters who worshipped the Death Clan from the National Cult, as well as top mercenaries hired a lot of money. With his own entourage, nearly a thousand people rushed to the abandoned ship that could return to the sub-space at any time.
In addition to him, there were three other judges and their entourage participating in this operation. However, the mechanical sage of Griffin IV had already taken the lead. The apology army had begun to sweep the abandoned ship. Fortunately, the court came not too late. It ignored the warning of the mechanical memorial society and landed directly on the abandoned ship.
As the "gold medal thug" of this operation, the fourth company of the Relics Team naturally followed the first group of the Grand Inquisition to enter the scrap ship. The scale of this scrap ship was still very large. They specially selected a position away from the mechanical cultivator. After all, there was a real conflict. In fact, no one was sure to defeat the other party steadily, let alone subsequent political problems.
Like most waste ships, there is also a miniature world, with various "indigenous people", from beastmen, to greenskins, or wandering gene stealers, mutant tribes, unknown aliens, etc. The team started to exchange fire shortly after entering, but fortunately they were all smooth. Aleksey Koch relied on a mysterious device to position the target items. They also established a retreating defense stronghold while advancing forward quickly.
Originally, things were normal here, and Griffin No. 4 might not really dare to confront this great judge head-on.
But the scrap ship itself has great uncertainty, and no one expected that there was something even more terrifying...
It was not until the target area that the Grand Inquisition was approaching that the Great Inquisition was surprised to find that there was a lost black ship inside the abandoned ship, that is, the ship that transported illegal psychics in the Star Torch Hall. It was unexplained when the black ship sank in the sub-space and when it became part of the abandoned ship, but it meant a terrifying danger - the illegal psychics carrying it were likely to have been out of control, and even worse, became a puppet of the demons in the sub-space.
Sure enough, an accident happened.
The Mechanical Cult's Apologists began to disappear one after another. Griffin IV's fleet immediately warned the Inquisition that they had detected strong psionic signals from unknown sources. However, facing the target they were about to be obtained, Alexe Koch obviously could not stop, but ordered the soldiers of the Relics War Chapter and himself to continue to go deeper and cross the lost black ship.
But this decision caused catastrophic consequences. A terrifying psychic entity was attracted by the psychic followers of the Inquisition and began to attack the team. It was a terrifying monster "aggregated" by thousands of illegal psychics. It was covered with tentacles and eyeballs, and hundreds of big mouths could spew out blue flames of melting metal.
At this point, the judge did not give up and ordered the fourth company of the Relics War Group to resist the monster, take him with him to retrieve the things first, and then find a way to evacuate.
The Relics War Chapter is not stupid. They know more about Alexe Koch's virtues than anyone else. For his goal, not to mention Astarte, he can even sell his own mother. If he gets the thing, he will definitely not come back to "help". He must choose to run away as soon as possible and then ask the Relics War Chapter to "think of a solution by himself."
At this point, the Relics Team believed that there was no reason for them to continue playing in the Inquisition. After paying the sacrifices of several warriors, they temporarily repelled the sub-space entity and then quickly evacuated.
As a result, not long after they withdrew from the battle, the angry demon began to control the abandoned ship and escape from the physical universe. The great judge kept sending signals to the Relics Team to escort him away quickly. At this time, all the entourages around him were killed, but he asked for help. The tone might not be very good in the middle, thinking that the Fourth Company of the Relics Team escaped from the battle without authorization was a cowardly act, which led to the demons being able to attack the Inquisition Team that took the things.
This made the fourth company of the Relics War Team angry, and they just let go and leave after getting on their own ship.
At this time, Griffin IV also announced that in order to prevent the scrap ship from continuing to endanger humans in the future, it was decided to explode it, and the firepower was opened instantly, but this further led to the scrap ship starting to accelerate and disengage.
So the other judges could only watch the scrap ship disappearing into the subspace with the Grand Judgment of the Mechanical Cultivator during the attack of the Mechanical Cultivator...
Generally speaking, this means that the judge's physical death was caused.
The matter was then reported to the heresy Tribunal of the Storm Star Field, and it quickly aroused a strong reaction from the exclusive faction. Although Alexei Koch was very radical, he was indeed very famous. Such a great judge with outstanding merits actually overturned in a waste ship, and his spearhead was immediately pointed at the Relics Chapter. Some judges believed that the Relics Chapter was deliberately murdering Alexei Koch. They did not perform their duties and allow the demons to attack the Grand Judgment, which was a naked betrayal.
Some judges even analyzed the entire process with a "subtle" perspective. Some people were suspicious of how the Relics Chapter resisted the powerful subspace entity, and based on the previous "actions" of the Relics Chapter, they believed that they must have used some shameful means, such as severely prohibited subspace props or weapons that are infectious with chaos.
In short, the dissatisfied heretics court soon laid out more than thirty charges and began to raise troops to question the relics.
The Relics War naturally denied all the accusations. Pompeii, the fourth company commander of the regiment, insisted that they had received a signal from the judge at that time, telling them that the things had been obtained and they could evacuate separately, so they chose to leave the battle. However, they did not expect that the judge walked so slowly and was blocked by the demon. They did not go to rescue him afterwards because the abandoned ship was on the edge of entering the sub-space. As the company commander, he could not use the entire company to take risks. Moreover, their mission was only to assist the judge to get things. Since the things had been obtained, even if their mission was over, in the future, help was a part of love, and not helping was a duty. And they could only express regret for the judge's misfortune.
