The rosette is a symbol of the members of the Inquisition, but its role is far from simple identification. When a trainee inquisitor is promoted to a formal inquisitor, he will receive an inquisitor rosette. This small columnar emblem symbolizes
He has been recognized by the Emperor and can exercise the highest authority in the name of the Emperor. Therefore, in a sense, the rosette is also the most important equipment of the Inquisitor. Everyone's rosette usually has personal identification and code encryption. Through meditation
Verification prevents forgery.
Talos does not need to identify it anymore, it is enough if the other party can come up with this.
So he nodded and turned to Bahram.
"Bahram, take this judge to see the incriminating evidence."
"OK."
Bahram responded, and then said to Marcus:
"Judge Marcus, please come with me."
"It's time to work."
Taking Marcus all the way to the previous warehouse, people who were executed for resisting could be seen everywhere on the road, and those who were alive were also chained together, like animals. Occasionally, huge shadows would appear in the shadows and cast curious eyes.
At a glance, some soldiers couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, Bahram, what are you doing?"
"I'll take this judge to see the incriminating evidence."
When entering the deserted warehouse passage, Marcus suddenly said:
"Your paint is quite unique. I remember that the Astral Knights don't seem to be this color."
Bahram hesitated for a moment, then explained:
"We are mainly responsible for reconnaissance and infiltration missions, so we use dark colors as much as possible."
"Camouflage colors? Ah, this is quite rare. Most Astartes Chapters are obsessed with their colors. Only a few Chapters will use camouflage colors in battle. Obviously Soshyan Battle
The leader values practicality more than tradition, and I have always admired him for this."
"Are you familiar with the Chapter Master?"
"We once worked together to deal with a huge threat in Valedo, and Chapter Commander Soshiyan also saved my life several times."
"I see....."
There was another silence after that, and then the two of them came to the secret warehouse. There were several soldiers guarding it. When Bahram came, they all asked curiously, and Marcus walked straight into it to check the equipment.
.
"These people are hopeless."
He quickly came to a conclusion.
"If you turn off the machine, you will die. Just give them a break. May the Emperor have mercy on these souls."
Then he went to see the huge blasphemous machine. When he first saw it, he was shocked.
"Damn... Damn it, the Renteria family has gone further than I thought... Fortunately, the Star Knight discovered it in time, otherwise there will probably be big trouble in the future. It already possesses demonic powers.
The prototype of the engine.”
After saying that, he used a micro camera to record the complete appearance of the thing, and then said to Bahram:
"This thing is too dangerous and must be destroyed immediately."
"Don't you need to hand it over to the Legal Department?"
"The Ministry of Justice can't handle this kind of thing, and it might be self-defeating. You cut off the power first, and I'll call my followers to destroy this thing."
Then he took out a miniature communicator and began to contact the followers lurking outside the castle.
"By the way, do you even have a flamethrower on hand?"
Bahram thought for a while and shook his head.
"No, but there is a melta gun."
"This is fine, I may need your help later."
"No problem, I will call the brothers who use the melta gun to come over now."
While waiting for the Inquisitor's entourage and melta weapons, only Bahram and Marcus were in this hall. After turning off the energy, the machine also fell into silence, and deathly silence shrouded the darkness.
"Judge--"
After a while, Bahram suddenly said:
"I hope after seeing all this, you won't think we are too cruel."
Marcus, who was looking at the data board, was slightly startled and raised his head.
"cruel?"
Then, he immediately realized what Bahram was talking about, smiled and shook his head.
"Of course, I was a little surprised when I just saw what you did. After all, your methods are a bit... special, but it can't be called cruel, because now I know that the Renteria family is guilty.
Yes, they have been infected with the power of Chaos, and they must accept punishment. Physical torture is one of the effective ways to check whether they are possessed by demons. This is not a secret in the Tribunal. Maybe in the eyes of the ignorant, you massacre
The behavior of the entire family seems too cold, heartless, cold-blooded and even cruel, but I am definitely not like this, because as an inquisitor, I understand better than anyone else how to maintain the rule of the empire, identify, target and destroy those who try to subvert the empire.
Or organization... I have always thought that Astartes and Inquisitors have some similarities. In fact, all Inquisitors are trying to approach and achieve the qualities that an Astartes should have, that is, when the entire universe
When the tragic truth hits you, use the calmest and even coldest thinking to keep yourself tough and resolute, because we are the last barrier of the empire, and any pain, mercy or weakness is a luxury that you and I cannot afford."
Bahram had never come into contact with the Inquisitor before, and Marcus' thoughts made him not know what to say for a moment, so he just nodded.
Not long after, the inquisitor's entourage arrived, a total of twelve people, including men, women, old and young. They were all experts in different fields.
Soon, they inspected the blasphemous machines and began to draw a sealing circle on the ground to prevent the evil forces hidden in the machines from breaking free when they were destroyed. At the same time, two soldiers from the 11th Company using melta guns also arrived at the scene.
.
After everything was ready, the two soldiers adjusted the power of the melta gun to medium, and then pulled the trigger on the machine.
The hot fireball spurted out, instantly burning a large hole in the machine and igniting the flammable liquid inside.
After a few consecutive clicks, the entire machine began to burn and let out a piercing scream. Many black smoke shaped like human faces came out. The sealing circle on the ground lit up at the same time, eliminating the black smoke one by one.
The whole process lasted for about three minutes. When the flames went out, the darkened frame collapsed with a crash——
Everything ended like this.
"Don't let anyone go! Even the sweeper!"
When Quinn's lair security system was completely taken over by the Astral Knights, the Renteria family's castle door burst open, and a large number of armored vehicles from the Ministry of Justice rushed in. The police lights above pierced the darkness, creating a noisy scene.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers rushed in.
But when everyone looked up and saw the Renteria family's castle, they all made sounds of surprise and even fear.
"Oh God Emperor!"
"what happened?"
Hearing those exclamations, Rory Figueiredo got off his special car and looked up, and his whole body was instantly shocked.
On the dark outer wall of the castle, countless men and women had their shoulders pierced by iron hooks and strung together with chains. The screams and moans of the undead made the whole scene like a nightmare.
"Oh, my God..."
A reporter following the Ministry of Justice was about to raise his camera when a big hand covered the lens.
"Who let you in? Photography is prohibited here!"
Amidst the scoldings of the law enforcement officials, all irrelevant personnel were kicked out, and all camera equipment was confiscated. The sad end of the Renteria family became a mystery for a while, and in the end it was just reduced to a strange hive legend.
