"Brothers Soshyan are not outsiders. We have shared a lot of important information with each other and understand the missions we each shoulder."
When everyone stood still, Azrael's voice sounded in the dark secret room. He had actually said these words before, but he reiterated them again.
"He is a trusted ally."
The people surrounding the imaging device were silent. Perhaps only the Dark Angel himself understood the meaning of this silence. Soshiyang coughed lightly and said:
"Thank you Brother Azrael for your trust. Captain Samuel must have said everything he needs to say, but I still have something new to say here."
Soshyan then briefly recounted the contents of the previous Tribunal meeting, and told the story of Grand Inquisitor Torquemada's pursuit of fallen angels and demon princes.
"Torquemada seems very confident that he can catch those traitors. As for how much he knows, I still don't know."
"Where are they!"
A low growl full of threats sounded, and Soshyan looked over and saw that it was the interrogating priest Azmodai.
At this time, the interrogator had taken off his helmet, revealing sharp cheekbones, sunken eyes and a shaved head. His skin was dark, except for the pale stripes of scar tissue carved on his forehead and left cheek.
There was almost no color, and those pearly black eyes were staring at Soshyan without a trace of awe or caution.
Although he knew that this person was very fanatical, this kind of directness that was almost offensive still made Soshyan frown.
"Azmodai, if you can't control your emotions, then put on your helmet."
Another deep voice sounded, so low that it was difficult to recognize that it was coming from a Space Marine.
It was the holy teacher Sappho who spoke.
"Those guys have violated Caliban's regulations, and they must be shut up immediately!"
Regarding the fact that the Inquisitor knew about the existence of the Fallen Angels, Azmodai seemed very excited, and even the corners of his mouth twitched. If he hadn't been here, he might have gone berserk and led people to rush down to the planet to find those Inquisitors one by one and "judge them"
"Yes.
"Azmodai, I don't think I need to remind you to respect everyone present, as well as the Supreme Lord Commander Soshyan. In addition, as your superior, I have the right to require that before I allow you to talk about other things, you must
Stay silent about anything, am I clear?"
Perhaps reprimanding a compatriot in front of an outsider like this is a bit excessive in the eyes of most Space Marines, but the Dark Angels who know Azmodai know very well that reprimands and persuasion will not work on this almost paranoid interrogating priest.
But he is notoriously difficult to deal with.
"I'm just doing my job."
Azmodai stood motionless, holding a bracelet strung with black pearls in both hands, eyes fixed on Soshiyan, like an eagle staring at its prey.
"Those inquisitors will definitely cause trouble. I know them very well, so before they cause more trouble, the best solution is to make them disappear, the sooner the better."
Soshyan couldn't help but sigh that only the Dark Angels could openly say that they wanted to kill the Inquisitor.
He smiled and said:
"What happened to the Grief Galaxy has already happened. If it happens again, it will definitely attract the attention of the Terra Tribunal headquarters. Torquemada's status is not low, and he probably has a backer in Terra. Such a person cannot be easily moved.
In fact, they don’t have clear evidence now.”
"We can't take risks! We will move quickly, Chapter Commander Soshiyan, and we won't cause you any trouble. Trust me -"
"Azmodai, your efforts against the oldest enemy are remarkable and your dedication is exemplary. However, why do you seek confrontation so easily? Are there not enough enemies in the galaxy? Your impulsive behavior
How much trouble have you caused to the Chapter? Can’t you understand what Chapter Master Soshiyan means? Or has spending too long in the interrogation room made your head as stubborn as the rock inside?”
Sappho continued to interrupt Azmodai with an insulting tone. The interrogating priest looked like he was going to explode. The blood vessels in his neck were beating with the beating of his twin hearts. His entire skin began to turn red and his eyes were squinted.
His jaw twitched at the insult.
Soshyan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Actually, that's not the crux of the matter. Pastor Azmodai, have you ever thought about this question? How could that group of secretive fallen angels be caught by an arrogant guy like Torquemada?"
Azrael, who had been silent all this time, his eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Brother Soshyan, are you saying that this inquisitor is actually a trap?"
"After all, there is no such coincidence. The Inquisitor was attracted to the Maelstrom by the fallen angels, and Brother Samuel was also attracted to the Maelstrom by the fallen angels. Even the demon prince revealed his whereabouts and identity in front of Brother Samuel. If it was
If it is a fool, then it will not survive now. Facts have proved that it must be very cunning. Does it mean anything that the whereabouts of such cunning prey are exposed one after another?"
After hearing Soshyan's series of analyses, even the angry Azmodai fell into deep thought.
Azrael clasped his hands behind his back, took two steps back and forth, and then lightly clapped his hands.
"It seems that Marbas is trying to lure us here."
This is the first time Soshyan heard the name of this demon prince. He wanted to ask Torquemada before, but thought that the other party would probably not answer, so he gave up. Unexpectedly, Azrael took the initiative to say it, and even
The two chapter leaders both showed surprised expressions.
Azrael turned to look at Soshyan, and then was stunned.
"Oh, Brother Soshyan may not have heard of this."
Then, the imaging device was lit up, and a demonic figure with wings on its back, a head like a lion, wearing black armor, holding a sword in one hand and a hammer in the other appeared in the imaging device. Its shoulder armor still carried the darkness of the past.
Angel Legion emblem and lion engraving.
"Mabas was a company commander of the former legion. He was a disgusted and reviled bastard. Even among the filthy fallen angels, he was the filthiest one. He was the only one promoted by Chaos to the rank of Demon Prince. It
Why he was promoted is still unknown. The first recorded appearance was in the M36 period. He led a group of fallen angels who completely fell into chaos. The known members include Laharl the Blade, Hafas the Black Scepter,
Their bodies and minds have been dedicated to the Chaos Gods, and they are a scourge that must be eradicated!"
Soshyan touched his chin.
"Has anyone in your group ever fought against it?"
"No, Samuel just saw it."
"In other words, the strength of this demon prince is not yet certain."
"Yes, but it is very cunning, which is much scarier than brute force. It will lead us to the maelstrom and I'm afraid it has a darker conspiracy."
