The sound of heavy footsteps approaching the Astartes sounded, and they quickly approached from a distance.
Calvin, who has keen observation and abundant brain calculation power, pricked up his ears.
His superhuman hearing almost instantly calculated the approximate shape of the incoming person from the weight, stride length and cadence, and the latter's true appearance was almost the same as the result obtained by Calvin:
This is a body that has been highly mechanized. Except for the torso itself, you can hardly see any human parts.
But unlike the traditional impression left on Calvin by the Mechanicus personnel on Mars, this inquisitor does not have any prosthetic limbs of unknown purpose or a wealth of detection equipment that is almost abusive.
The body is made up of 80% steel and is two meters high.
Coupled with the fact that there is no need for feedback equipment and the ceramic armor plates are installed directly on the body, Calvin wonders whether the life in front of him is a human or the legendary "Iron Man".
"There is no need to doubt my identity, young arbiter." The other party has obviously noticed Calvin's inquiring gaze, and this is not the first time he has explained this issue to others.
"Let's hurry up and find out who is the top person in charge here." He had no intention of showing off. He stood in the center of the bridge and looked at everyone present, showing the air of being in charge.
"This is not the crux of the matter, Inquisitor. Tell us why you are here, and let us hear what kind of situation makes you think it is worth breaking our own conventions." Tabers said.
"Okay." He shrugged his shoulders and then said:
"I need your support! This means whether I can save the fate of a planet or even the lives of tens of billions of citizens of the Human Empire.
And you must support me and end this farce here before it turns into a real disaster..."
Demon Judge Rhine Hoffmann began to tell people about his experience:
This is not a war, or it is just a dispute about the ending after a big war.
Below Holison 5 is connected to a distant and remote galaxy - the Federman Galaxy, which is a small galaxy composed of mining worlds and wasteland worlds.
It had just escaped from a conspiracy based on Chaos under the cover of a warp storm.
The power from the Lord of Tampering has been lurking there a hundred years ago.
When the subspace storm began to rage and blocked the only way for this galaxy to communicate with the outside world, which was also the channel to the Holison galaxy, the governor of the mining world was persuaded by a local sect named "Hope" to begin
It was a ceremony about the construction of planetary defense weapons, or in other words, a festival.
They built a large number of spiers around the hive to pray for protection from the emperor. (The number was later found to be 99.)
Under the protection of countless spiers built, they struggled to survive for 99 years under the harassment of subspace and the demons that occasionally emerged from it.
During the long ordeal, they persisted in their beliefs and maintained the empire's rule over the planet until the warp storm began to dissipate.
However, this matter was a conspiracy of the Lord of Tampering from the beginning.
On the day when the storm finally dissipated, all humans on the planet were celebrating the end of the long suffering and cheering for the arrival of hope. This ceremony dedicated to Tzeentch was finally completed.<
/p>
The emotions and destinies of all the creatures on the entire planet completely pleased the Lord of Change. As a reward, He turned them all into his own demons, the Dread Demon, at the moment when their emotions of hope were condensed to the highest level.<
/p>
This is the inhuman scene seen in orbit after the Star Defense Force stationed in another barbaric world arrived after the subspace storm.
At this moment, the entire nest was saturated with the flames of the fear monsters, so much so that the pink and blue flames could be seen from orbit.
At this point in time, the souls of billions of people were sacrificed to the evil god of chaos by the cultist who pretended to be "Hope".
The howls of their souls echoed layer by layer, making even the Astra Militarum guarding the orbit feel horrified.
The Demonic Tribunal learned of the disaster here immediately, and they sent the nearest inquisitor Rhine Hoffmann to deal with the incident here.
Dozens of warships from the Star Search Area Defense Fleet were deployed here to be on guard and awaiting the next order.
The millions of local Astra Militarum troops, several times the number of the former, were also transported from the barbaric world next door to orbit to standby.
Led by the Goliath Knights, the fastest arriving Astartes chapter, and authorized by Inquisitor Rhein Hoffmann, they carried out a large-scale cleansing of the entire planet's surface. p>
First, after the sector defense fleet synchronously positioned itself in orbit, it attacked the hive city with light spears as dense as rain for a whole month.
Then millions of Astra Militarum and an equal number of Defense Forces were released to the surface.
Led by the Astartes from the Goliath Knights, they carried out a sweeping sweep of all spaces outside the hive.
The battle was going smoothly until the arrival of another judge.
Eranti Redwine, a high-level demon judge who also came from the Demon Tribunal, arrived here one week before Calvin and others arrived.
Coming with him was an entire company of the Astartes Chapter called the Malevolent Warriors.
After arriving, they did not participate in the suppression campaign, which was in its final stages.
Instead, he headed straight towards the general headquarters on the track where only the Inquisitor himself was left.
Obviously, this high-ranking inquisitor, who is known for his hawkish stance in the Inquisition, has another mission.
After the other party arrived at the headquarters, they directly asked Reinhofmann, or in other words, ordered the other party to hand over the supreme command of the theater.
After being naturally rejected, he forcibly took away the power that originally belonged to Rhein Hoffmann as a high-level special envoy of the Tribunal.
The matter is not over yet. Eranti, who has gained power, has no say in the battle on the ground.
He showed extreme indifference to these heroic mortal troops, and even treated these imperial loyalists from the wild world with cruelty.
With the support of the Malicious Warriors Chapter behind him, this Demonic Judge has even prepared the fate of these mortal troops after the battle - a medium-sized plague bomb second only to the level of Extermination Order and from the Malicious Warriors
Orbital Strike.
This is something neither Rhein Hoffmann nor the Knights of Grea can accept.
From Rhine's point of view, he could not accept that these warriors who came here to fight for the empire under his promise could only end up like this;
From the perspective of the Knights of Graia, bearing the blood of Sanguinius, they cannot accept that the Empire is so indifferent to loyal people.
Both parties hold their own ideas and positions, and there is no room for compromise.
A fierce argument had been going on for four days between the two Inquisitors and the two Astartes Captains in orbit.
The conflict is on the verge of breaking out, and there is only a thin line between the conflict of words turning into a confrontation with force.
With the ground forces already deployed, the two companies of the Goliath Chapter are scattered across the entire planet's surface, unable to even assemble, and even less able to resist the orbital strike threat from malicious warriors and the deterrence of warships.
Sexual repression.
In a desperate situation, Judge Rhine urgently needs a new force to enter the scene to rebalance the balance of strength between the two sides so that the war gears that have begun to loosen can quickly stop its dangerous pace.
This is what the Gray Knights will face.
"How about it? It's not a battle, there's no damage. It's just a support to eliminate an internal conflict between the empire's warriors that shouldn't happen. "You will never refuse my offer?"
After explaining the specific situation in one breath, the irritable middle-aged man looked at the Gray Knights present with expectation.
The Gray Knights present also thought about the pros and cons after listening to the Inquisitor's story, and how this matter related to the ideals they upheld.
Only Calvin's thinking was very quick, and he suddenly looked at Tabers as if he had remembered something.
"I said, this malicious warrior group. Does it sound a bit familiar?"
