Chapter 185 03.0184: "The Judge Has Decided"

The Thunder Eagle's return journey was relatively smooth, with no damn void monsters intercepting it.

In addition, the Indefatigable was almost running at full speed and sailing forward at full speed.

Captain Peru closely followed the movements of the intercepting fleets.

Among the five interception fleets, two fleets have battleships, namely the Invincible-class high-speed battleships led by Vice Admiral Samuel Hood, the brother of General Alexander Hood, and the Apocalypse-class battleships led by veteran Admiral Rodney.

But even for the Invincible-class high-speed battleship, its speed is slightly slower than that of a cruiser, not to mention the Apocalypse-class battleship.

Apart from Commodore Peru's Indefatigable battle group, the only other group that could arrive first was the cruiser squadron commanded by Captain Lord Elphinstone.

The captain also launched a one-time assault by sending out all the shark assault boats in the fleet.

Everyone was desperately trying to rescue the Retribution-class battleship, a vital asset of the Imperial Navy.

To date, the entire Gothic Fleet has only three Retribution-class battleships, one is Cardinal Bolas, one is Blood Eagle, and one is Divine Will.

These three ships are over a thousand years old and have all participated in the Gothic War. They are the undisputed flagships of the Gothic fleet.

If the Holy Will was lost, it would not only cause heavy losses to the Imperial Navy, but would also nail the Gothic Fleet to the pillar of shame, never to be able to recover.

The Thunderhawk gunboat came to rest at the docking station of the Indefatigable.

Horatio, Farida and a group of Blood Angels rode to the command bridge at full speed.

"Sir, the documents are back." Horatio saluted the brigadier general.

"God is above! Thank God." The brigadier general was sweating profusely: "How is Lieutenant General Hood?"

"We are barely able to maintain the situation, sir. We need to speed up."

Horatio reported sullenly, "Besides, I don't think this mutiny was a rebellion by the sailors themselves."

"Why do you say that?" Horatio's words aroused the sensitivity of the former Inquisition attendant.

“There is no sign of collusion in the plans of these mutineers, and their consciousness is also very strange.

The whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and there was foam at the corners of his mouth, looking like he was having an epileptic seizure. Even though he was injured, he still attacked desperately.

Brigadier General Peru studied Horatio's report carefully.

"Are you saying that this mutiny was caused by a cult? It usurped the minds of these sailors?"

Brigadier General Peru has traveled the starry sea for half his life, and has witnessed many strange and unimaginable things with his inquisitor friend.

Therefore he will not outright deny anything that has not been clearly probed and disproven.

"I think so, Your Excellency. When Miss Hood and I escaped from the cult's lair, the enemies who rushed over also had the same symptoms."

"Then the document in your hand will be very important."

Brigadier General Peru used a neuralgia plug to open the adamantium safe next to the throne, which only he had the authority to open.

It was filled with top-secret documents from the Fleet Security Committee, allowing Commodore Peru to handle some confidential matters while sailing.

Horatio put the papers in with his own hands and locked them.

"No one is allowed to approach this adamantine safe without permission!" the brigadier general ordered the battleship guards around him.

"As ordered!"

"Please allow us to guard together before returning to Abyss Port. Our Blood Angels Chapter will assist the Imperial Navy in getting to the bottom of this matter." The Blood Angels deputy captain said to Brigadier General Peru.

Just now, Captain Aphiel obtained the approval of Chapter Master Dante to stay in Abyss Port for a period of time to help the Imperial Navy resolve this conspiracy.

Fortunately, the Gothic Fleet assisted the Blood Angels in killing their enemies. And with the negotiation of Captain Afir.

It is reported that the Ultramarines and Salamanders have also dispatched their nearest units to Abyssal Harbor to receive the two important battle brothers rescued by the Blood Angels.

After some time, when the fleets of these two Space Marine mother groups arrive, they will naturally discover how serious the chaos is that Abyss Port is facing today.

But whether they are willing to help is unknown.

After all, Space Marine Chapters, especially the Mother Chapters, are always busy. Their mission schedules are already full, and there are countless battlefields in the galaxy that need their support.

Unless it is a high priority matter, they will not interfere in the water-breaking affairs of the empire.

"Mr. Horatio, Miss Hood, you should take a rest first. Leave the rest to us." Brigadier General Peru said to the two young people.

Then he looked at Farida and said earnestly, "Your father and I have been close friends for more than 20 years. I will do my best, don't worry."

Farida pursed her lips and saluted the captain solemnly.

"I want to stay on the bridge," she said. "I can't rest in this situation."

"I agree, Your Excellency. I will stay on the bridge with her." Horatio knew that without him around, the officers on the bridge would soon vomit because of Farida's untouchable qualities.

"If you want, go ahead." The brigadier general extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and then said to Horatio:
"By the way, Mr. Horatio, tomorrow a judge who has just arrived at Abyss Port will summon you."

"Inquisitor? Me?" Horatio's hair stood on end when he heard the word 'Inquisitor'.

Having used the highest power in the empire before, he knew the terrifying power and effectiveness of it.

Even Farida looked at the two of them in surprise, her worry growing.

When the judge called someone to the door, everyone knew that something had happened, and it was a big deal.

"Relax, the Inquisitor summoned you only because you are an attendant of the Inquisition. He needs to learn some information from you and assign you a very important task."

Horatio swallowed and smiled bitterly, "So that's how it is. No problem."

After Brigadier General Peru made his intentions clear, Horatio felt a little relieved, but only a little.

After all, the composition of the Inquisitors is very complex. They are more or less extremely paranoid in certain aspects, and they regard them as the guiding principle and the only right way to save the empire, and they keep going forward.

Even if it means sacrificing one's own life, or even the lives of hundreds of millions of people, to prove the truth in one's heart.

This also meant that the Tribunal was destined to be a place filled with crazy people, and having too deep of a relationship with them was not a good choice.

However, as the 'Agent of the Emperor' organization founded by Malcador, its authority can still help him solve many problems.

He helps me and I help him, and the best solution is to benefit from each other.

Farida walked to the battle center below, looking at the huge bulletproof stained glass window in front of the bridge and the dark and cold void outside. Her worry about her father gradually penetrated her heart like ice.

Horatio sighed, stood beside her, and looked into the dark, deep void with her.

"Your father will be fine. Everyone is trying to prevent things from getting to the worst possible point."

For now, this was all Horatio could offer as comfort.

"...Horatio." Farida called softly, weakly and listlessly.

"Ok?"

"Do you believe in prophecies?"
