The third thing came from Sagan, and it was also the thing that made Soshyan the most angry. The Astra Militarum general staff officer he appointed, Yarrick, was killed by the Minotaur Chapter because of a fierce dispute with the Terran envoy.
He was detained for offending the authority of the high lord and blaspheming Terra. Although he was immediately released, it was undoubtedly a provocation to Soshyan, and the envoy also loudly claimed that Soshyan issued a military ticket for the expedition.
It is a violation of regulations and a terrible means of plunder, which has greatly impacted the credit of military tickets. In addition, the fierce fighting during this period has also affected Reza's transportation to a certain extent. Military tickets in some areas cannot be exchanged in time, so there are
There has been a certain degree of depreciation, but it should still be under control.
The last thing, Suoshiyang was no longer angry, his heart just felt cold——
The Dark Angels had clearly stated before that they were here to capture the Fallen Angels. Soshyan had been worried that they would cause some trouble, but they had not done anything excessive so far. He was relieved. Unexpectedly, Samuel gave him the money directly.
Huge news.
This news first came from Marcus, then Samuel, and finally Corsaro. After the three news were combined, the situation was as follows.
Samuel discovered the whereabouts of the Fallen Angel in the Grief Galaxy, so he led his men secretly to the Grief 2 planet to capture him.
But Sorrow 2 is a densely populated world, and Samuel's capture operation was greatly affected. What's even more terrifying is that he discovered that the leader of the fallen angels was a demon prince - this was what Samuel personally informed Sosh
Yang, but he did not mention the name of this demon prince.
At that time, Samuel ordered full firepower to annihilate this gang of traitors. However, although the number of the traitors was small, they were very capable and hid in the nest. Samuel chased them all the way from the bottom nest to the upper nest, and finally ended up in the upper nest.
The nest blocked the other side, and it was here that several reports diverged.
The first is the Inquisition. They believe that the Dark Angel has done something crazy for some unknown purpose——
Release weapons of destruction.
Samuel directly used phosphating weapons to burn the upper levels of the hive.
However, the traitors were not caught in the end, but that would be it if it really came to this.
As luck would have it, there was an Inquisitor performing a mission in the hive at that time. Samuel's behavior immediately alerted the other party, and then he most likely saw the fallen angels and witnessed the dark angels burning the hive or other hidden things.
Fortunately, Samuel noticed it in time, implemented Caliban's regulations, and killed the inquisitor and his followers. (Report from Corsaro)
But it was impossible to completely cover up the matter when it was so big. After all, hundreds of thousands of people died in the phosphorus fire, and they were all residents of the nest. Although Samuel was very smart and threw some corpses of Chaos Space Marines at the scene,
They also forged records of the appearance of a Chaos warship, but the Inquisition heard the news and immediately discovered some clues, as well as the disappearance of one of their colleagues.
According to the information returned by Marcus, the Tribunal has basically guessed that the Dark Angel did this. However, there is currently no evidence. Samuel's hands are still very clean, so it is still under investigation. If it is true
If there is evidence that it was the Dark Angel, Samuel will definitely be excommunicated and rebellious.
Setting fire to the hive resulted in the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of people, and also killed the inquisitors. This was a naked provocation to the empire. The inquisitors of the Maelstrom vowed to investigate the truth even if they fight the Dark Angels to the death.
Marcus's meaning is also very clear. Although he is Soshyan's ally, he is still a member of the Tribunal, and he must stand on the Tribunal's side in this matter.
After Corsaro heard about the tragedy in the Grief Galaxy, he blocked Samuel in the Galen System as he was about to go to Angstrom. The two then had a fierce verbal conflict. Corsaro thought Samuel was crazy.
Having given up the dignity and personality of a warrior for the sake of the so-called goal, Samuel left silently with the team without any explanation.
The enraged Corsaro strongly suggested that Soshiyan kick the Dark Angels out of the expeditionary force, otherwise these people would cause big trouble sooner or later.
Samuel's defense after coming to Angstrom was much more straightforward. He personally briefly described the entire incident to Soshyan, and then told Soshyan that the demon prince was very, very dangerous and must be killed.
Eliminate it, otherwise it will definitely pose a huge threat to the expedition, and he has already sent a message to the giant stone. The main force of the Dark Angel is likely to arrive in the near future.
In addition, Samuel also swore that he would never set fire to the nest, and that those phosphorus weapons were placed in the upper nest in advance by the traitors. This was a despicable trap for the Dark Angels, and because he was aware of this situation and was unable to argue,
Samuel had to kill the inquisitor who witnessed the competition. It was better to make mistakes than to have the other party bring the matter to the table.
Soshyan believed that the Ravenwing Master was by no means a lunatic. On the contrary, Samuel had always presented himself as a calm and meditative person. The fact that he could be prompted to do such an almost rebellious behavior was enough to show that the demon prince was indeed dangerous.
, As for burning the nest city, the other party probably won't really do it, but because it involves fallen angels, it is difficult to explain it.
In a sense, this trap was indeed clever and vicious. It completely pinched the Dark Angels' weakness, leaving them unable to defend themselves. They had to use the most radical method to cover up the incident, but it also incurred the complete hostility of the Maelstrom Tribunal.
In addition, Samuel also revealed another piece of information, that is, the Inquisitor also had a follower who was far away from the scene due to wind protection or other reasons. He ran away immediately and is now most likely still hiding in the planet's nest.
In Duri, this person may hold key evidence, but now they can no longer return to the planet to deal with it, because the Inquisition's informants are everywhere.
Soshyan suddenly understood Azrael's mood of wiping the interrogation priest's ass over and over again.
However, he now had to wipe Samuel's butt. The Dark Angel had given him a lot of support in the early stages of the expedition, and Azrael was worthy of his brother. He couldn't do it at this time, either emotionally or rationally.
Stay out of the matter, and if the matter is not handled well, it will easily give Terra an excuse.
But it was not convenient for the expeditionary force to come forward for this kind of thing, so Soshyan called Sorge, who was still conducting trade negotiations with the short man, and asked him to arrange people to find the escaped inquisitor's entourage, and he wanted to see him alive or dead.
If the corpse cannot be caught, it must be silenced.
In short, no matter what the cost, this matter must be suppressed and all those involved must keep their mouths shut.
In the past few years, Sorge has relied on various conveniences provided by the expeditionary force, as well as overt and covert financial and personnel support. His career has developed rapidly, and he has successively annexed the territories and businesses of several subordinate mortal organizations of the Red Pirates. Thirteen silver coins
The society was uprooted, all its senior staff were killed, and all its businesses were wiped out, becoming a well-known underworld tycoon in the maelstrom.
After receiving Soshiyang's instructions, he immediately summoned a group of his most capable killers, spent a lot of money to hire several gold-medal assassins from the Death Worship Cult, and secretly headed to the Grief Galaxy as soon as possible.
After arranging these things, Soshyan was almost exhausted mentally and physically. He temporarily put down what he was doing and planned to go back to the bedroom to take a nap to calm down.
But the moment he opened the door, a soft body carrying the fragrance of plants suddenly jumped into his arms.
