The chaos in Amara continues, but in the blind spots of the Sector Council and the Inquisition, the Gray Knights have begun to gather secretly.
Imperial Calendar 004.39, the capital world of Amara, the capital of the Orps sector, is in orbit.
Two small dagger-type frigates painted with optical stealth coating, under the cover of the routine cruise of the flagship Supreme Decree, silently separated from the belly of the ship and disappeared into the vast universe...
Half a day later, on the second continent of Amara, the Tindaros Army, which was undergoing adaptive training in the mountainous terrain, welcomed a mysterious visitor.
The intelligence personnel of the Tribunal here have no way of passing through the layers of guards to see the identity of the visitor, let alone the content of his communication with the leader of the legion.
The intelligence analysis officer did not notice this anomaly and therefore failed to report it in time.
Later, it was estimated through information provided by local logistics businessmen that the envoy arrived and left within 20 minutes.
And it was these noble 20 minutes that became the beginning of what happened next:
In the next 72 hours, Tindaros's elite army, deployed in 51 regiments with a total of 600,000 men across the entire second continent, completed the emergency mobilization of troops under the eyes of the Tribunal.
And after the Revenant Redeemer forcibly entered the Second Continent Starport without any warning, the entire legion completed the boarding operation within ten hours and completely disappeared into the belly of the battlecruiser.
This is an extremely sophisticated mortal force, and even the well-informed high-ranking bureaucrats of the Tribunal of Orpheus must be impressed by it.
With such equipment, and with the quality of the entire legion including the logistics personnel, this legion is as powerful as they have ever seen.
These soldiers, wearing black uniforms with golden decorations, are simply born for the Inquisition.
Their high and rock-steady morale, as well as the advanced knowledge reserves possessed by all members, made many inquisitors mistakenly think that they were naval officers.
The carapace armor equipped by all members allowed these judges to see what it means to be arrogant at the legion level.
Which army is this?
Is it possible that there is another Sun Auxiliary Army in today’s empire?
The bureaucrats of the Inquisition had an unforgettable memory of these legions who marched off the Gray Knight battleship. After learning their identities, all the members of the Inquisition were enamored of them and wished they could immediately send these soldiers who were comparable to the Stormtroopers.
Legionnaire, took over from the Gray Knight.
Therefore, under the current situation in Orpheus, the Inquisition has been reluctant to let the Gray Knights use this force for a whole ten years.
All the supplies and materials they have received since arriving in Amara have been provided by the Tribunal with the highest standards, in order to influence these loyal legionnaires and create a basis for future takeover.
But now, the ducks I got have been looked at and raised.
Then, under the unannounced action of a certain Gray Knight, the duck that had been raised for ten years flew away...
High-ranking Inquisitor Marbury was heartbroken about this, and went to the Supreme Order overnight to express serious protest in front of all the Gray Knights against the Gray Knights represented by Aidan for disregarding the overall situation.
Gray Knight Grand Master Aidan expressed his humility in accepting this and will do it next time.
Yule later saw the Star Labyrinth strike cruiser that had just sailed out from the Manzeville jump point at the star port of Amara Satellite 9.
The warship has just sailed out of the dense defensive minefield, and the guidance ship in front has not yet gone far.
Yule's figure has already appeared next to the berth of the large ship in the star port.
It was a pity that he could not directly meet the famous Chapter Leader Asterion Moloch. Instead, he first met with the Tauren's exclusive diplomat - the Supreme Priest of the Tauren Chapter, Ivanus Comien.
We had a deal.
The Astartes priest, who had just stepped off his exclusive vehicle, the "Ultimate Use", also expressed polite surprise at Le's visit.
"As I venture, I have never known of any interaction between us and your group. But I have to say that no matter what your intention is, I am afraid that you will be disappointed."
It was not surprising that Yule was calm and distant when faced with Comien. The reputation of this war group is such that if you can't play the role of a solitary minister, you will still call friends everywhere.
It won't be too long before this war group is excommunicated.
This is the survival wisdom of this chapter. As the seventh company commander who has begun to take over the diplomacy of the Gray Knights Chapter, Yule can understand it.
He also knew that his visit was unexpected, but the situation had to be like this. He once again recalled Aidan's instructions before leaving, and then said to Comien:
"You don't have to rush to refuse. I came here on my own mission. Please tell your leader. The Gray Knight has something to ask for. If he is unwilling, then remember to remind him that he owes us."
"You better know what you're talking about!"
After listening to Yule's words, Comien thought for a long time, stared into the other person's eyes and said.
His old face is the same as his mission. The compassion of the priest and the coldness of the hermit alternate between the scars and nasolabial folds, creating a unique personal charm unique to him.
Without further greetings, Cormien immediately gave up his original trip to Amara to wait for the garrison order, turned around and got into the storm eagle gunboat named "Use No Good Use".
Under the torrent of blue tail flames from the gunship engine, he returned to the maze he had just left.
"Why did you come back so fast?" A bell-like voice sounded from above Comyn's head. He stood up from his half-kneeling posture and looked at the burly body on the throne at the end of the hall.
The Iron Warrior, now aliased as Astruon Moloch, is still as strong and tall as he was three thousand years ago.
But he is no longer wearing the nameless Terminator power armor.
A gorgeous Spartan-style armor made especially for him and a power halberd of the same style as the Forbidden Army next to the throne, setting off his three-meter thick body as majestic as a god of war.
The huge body sat on a throne made of bronze, overlooking everything in the dome of the battleship, just like a monarch inspecting his territory.
Blood-colored curtains and golden pillars are mixed with huge crystal glass, and endless starlight shines in from there.
That is the unique scenery from the porthole of the dome of the battleship, and it is also a manifestation of his privilege as the actual monarch here.
"Someone from the Tribunal is visiting, hoping to see the Lord."
Comien is like a retainer from the medieval era, expressing his experiences in his unique cold voice.
"I have no place in the Inquisition here! If he still pesters you, kill him!"
"Your will!" Comien bowed his head again, and then added:
"But as he said, he said you owe him."
"Huh?"
The figure who was originally lying on the back of the large bronze chair slowly sat upright when he heard the sound. The depressive feeling in the air made Cormine slowly lift his heart.
"Who is he?"
Moloch's voice was still deep and powerful, but the hesitation and expectation in it were indeed emotions that Cormine had never heard before in the hundreds of years of serving him.
"A Gray Knight, my leader." Cormine said.
Boom!
The huge figure stood up from the throne, and the halberd leaning on the armrest was shaken. As soon as it slipped to the side, it was grabbed by a big hand covered with the same bronze gauntlet.
"Let him come to see me." Moloch said loudly.
"As you command!"
After receiving the order, Cormine turned and walked outside.
He had no curiosity about Moloch's secrets. Serving this powerful tyrant was his entire mission.
"No! I'll go with you to see him!"
The giant came from behind him. When he passed by Comian, he happened to see the pastor's expression of surprise that could not be concealed and was rare in decades...
Without waiting long, Yule unexpectedly saw the return of another larger airship.
Moloch, who walked out of the hatch, did not wait for Comien's footsteps, but strode towards Yule's direction.
Cormine then stepped off the boat and quickened his pace, just in time to see the three-meter-tall body of his chapter leader standing oppressively in front of Yule, who only reached his shoulders.
"He...that master asked you to come?" Moloch asked
"Huh? Which adult?"
Yule's mind stagnated for half a second, and then with the help of Moloch slowly began to grasp the bronze gauntlet of the halberd, he instantly understood what the other party meant.
"No! We are going to find him, so we need your help!"
"I understand." Moloch said.
Understand? Understand what? Before Yule could figure out what was going on, he saw Moloch's big hand grabbing his back.
"Let's go and board the ship with me! I'm not the only one you need help from!"
