Chapter 1606 The Moon of Worry in the Inquisition Chamber
When Veronica brought over the steaming white maple tea, Soshyan mentioned this report on Eldar activities to her.
"You said, there is this kind of thing in the Maelstrom area... What do you call them? Wilderness compatriots?"
Veronica glanced at the report, and then a confused expression appeared on her face.
"I know the Maelstrom area. It was an abandoned land long before the Great Fall. In fact, according to ancient documents, the existence of the Maelstrom can even be traced back to the end of the War in Heaven... But there
Because the barrier between the Supreme Heaven and the Supreme Heaven is too fragile, most worlds are affected by the subspace and cannot give birth to world spirits, and naturally cannot be colonized. Even the powerful empire era has not conquered there, so how can there be a virgin world?"
"In other words, the Eldar never tried to colonize there?"
"Try... It's hard to say, because the ancient archives are almost impossible to survive with the Great Fall. The actual situation is mostly based on guesswork. Maybe there were colonists who really took root there at a certain period.
If it doesn’t work, just ask Doral to arrange for someone to investigate.”
"Well, it's possible, but you have to remind him to stay hidden. The maelstrom area is very messy now."
Soshyan then read the remaining reports, all of which were about heretical activities. One of them mentioned that the Red Pirates seemed to have reached a secret agreement with the Black Legion, and that something unusual happened at a certain moment in the center of the Maelstrom.
subspace disturbance, the Inquisitor is still investigating the connection between this series of events.
There is also a report that mentions the recent activities of some dangerous Chaos warbands in the Maelstrom area. One of these warbands is called the Flawless Blades, and the leader of the warband is the infamous "Immortal" Lucius.
"This Lucius..."
Soshyan frowned, and Veronica looked at him curiously.
"A bunch of degenerates who worship Slaanesh? What happened?"
"It seems that he has some grudges with Instructor Sol. I heard him mention it a long time ago. Maybe I should tell him about this."
"Yeah, when you mentioned it, I remembered it. Yin Freni also mentioned that there was a group of Slaanesh believers who came out of the Colosseum in Commorragh. The leader seemed to be called this name... I heard Yin Freni said that at that time
Say, this guy is very dangerous, are you sure you want to tell that Sol?"
"Well...I'm just afraid that he will find out the news and cause trouble to Instructor Sol."
"Yes, it's always good to be on guard."
Veronica looked at the reports, and then sighed:
"These judges are really pervasive."
"Yes, this is also a point that I am very worried about. According to the experience of past expeditions, there is a high probability that the Tribunal will intervene... I am now equivalent to being placed in the spotlight, not only countless pairs of eyes will be staring at me
, some inquisitors will also focus on me. After all, it is their duty to ensure the loyalty of the expeditionary force. In this case, many means and forces cannot be used, such as Ulan Huda's reinforcements, Titan
, there are also some combat robots and special equipment, things like Scream that even have to be dismantled from the ship, and Talos, Khayon and others also have to be less visible in front of people, they have all been registered in the Tribunal.
.”
Having said this, Soshyan even had a slight headache. In many of his past victories, he relied on equipment and special reinforcements to catch the enemy off guard, but this time he seemed unable to repeat such tactics.
This feeling was very uncomfortable, as if he was forced into the boxing ring to fight a powerful opponent, and his hands were tied.
"Okay, I'm starting to look sad again. If you really don't want to go, can't you refuse this appointment?"
"Hey, how can you refuse this? This is an order. We are soldiers, and obedience is a must."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Soshiyang picked up the tea cup and took a sip before looking at the rest of the report.
Two of the reports attracted his attention. One was signed by Marcus. If Soshyan remembered correctly, it should be the Marcus he knew before. Unexpectedly, he was active in the Maelstrom again.
.
Marcus's report was about the rampant smuggling chain in the Maelstrom area and the relationship between the trade lords behind it. In his narrative, the smugglers in the Maelstrom have a complex network of relationships. On the one hand, there are heretical pirates and even red men.
Pirates, on the other hand, were the trade lords, and even involved the administrative machinery of the empire,
In his report, he expressed concern that the empire's institutions and lords in the Maelstrom area were involved in a huge network of interests and had a tendency to become corrupt, especially their unclear relationship with the Red Pirates.
The empire's local rule was shaky.
The Inquisition usually paid little attention to the corruption of imperial institutions or the corruption of local lords. For Marcus to present such a serious and pessimistic attitude, the situation may have been very serious. This is also a factor that Soshyan must consider.
The other report was from a trainee judge signed by Sadi Salas, but what worried Soshyan was not the whereabouts of a certain demon prince in her report, but the person she submitted the report to -
The Supreme Protector of the Formosa Sector and the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal of Demons, Torquemada Cortez.
The most famous deed of this ruthless man was that he personally killed his mentor. The supreme protector of Formosa at that time was the Grand Inquisitor Lardian. Once he held a meeting and showed a stone he discovered.
Demon crystal, and hoped that he could keep it for research and provide necessary research materials for the Demon Tribunal to deal with demons. Although this crystal was hosted by demons, none of the judges present dared to question Lardi
Ann's words, but only Curtis picked up the holy hammer and walked to the center of the venue, smashed the crystal directly, and announced in court that Lardian was a heretic, and personally smashed his mentor with a hammer.
's head.
After dealing with Lardian, Curtiz was quickly promoted to the Supreme Protector of Formosa by the line of fire. It is difficult for people not to doubt whether he had planned this for a long time.
Therefore, Kertiz gives people the impression that one is ruthless, and the other is utilitarian and ambitious.
In short, Soshyan does not want to encounter this god of plague at all costs, but looking at the report, it seems that the inquisitor has been hunting this demon prince for a while, and now that he has found his whereabouts in the maelstrom area, I'm afraid
There's a good chance I'll catch up.
"Inquisition, Inquisition... We can't get around these people no matter what this time. Veronica, how about you still-"
Veronica sat directly in his arms, stared at him, and asked pretendingly:
"What do you dare to say?"
As she said that, her little hands had quietly grabbed the tie of Soshyan's robe, and Soshyan was so frightened that she quickly held down the other person's hand.
"Forget it, it's nothing..."
After comforting Veronica, an inexplicable thought suddenly came to Soshiyang's mind.
Now that Huron has known the news, what thoughts will he have, what will he do to deal with it, and what kind of conspiracy will he plan against himself?
