Chapter 208 04.0207: "The Nightmare of the Inquisitors - The Order of the Rebellious"

Lieutenant General Samuel ended the communication angrily.

He looked at Horatio again and realized that he had forgotten to invite the young officer to take a seat after getting so angry.

“You did a great job, young man.

Thanks to you, I was able to know this in time. I will continue to pay attention to Farida's affairs, and I will report it to His Excellency the Lord Admiral. These guys in the Inquisition really rely on their power to bully others too much!
People always say, 'The Gothic Fleet has become a lion with broken teeth and blunt claws in the long years since the end of the Gothic War', bullshit! "

The Vice Admiral slammed the table again angrily: "This is Abyss Harbor! The capital of the Gothic Sector! Even if it's the Inquisitor, if he doesn't respect our Imperial Navy here, then our Navy will teach him what decency is!"

Having been in the navy for so long, Horatio naturally understood the meaning of Vice Admiral Samuel's "jargon".

Yes, the Inquisitor is extremely powerful.

But so what, this is not Holy Terra.

This is Abyss Port, the home base of the Gothic Fleet.

The navy was furious and blood was shed.

The fleet doesn't mind creating a little 'accident' for the Inquisition's black ships entering and leaving the node during the Mandeville Point exercise.

Perhaps it was an 'untimely' torpedo, or perhaps it was a stray bullet from a round of artillery fire.

Horatio believed that with the Hood family's prestige and connections in the Gothic Fleet, as well as the Inquisitor's outrageous and shameful poaching behavior.

Vice Admiral Samuel could have done this with the support of the participants and the other fleet leaders who turned a blind eye.

If that inquisitor of the Order of the Holy Hammer named William Carter doesn't know how to appreciate his kindness.

"Of course, sir! We are His Holy Navy, and the Imperial Navy is sacred and inviolable!" Horatio said with his legs together and chest straight.

"I heard that you are now the second-in-command of a newly built important department, young man?"

"Thanks to the high regard of all the superiors, I am now the first deputy commander of the Naval Special Warfare Command, Your Excellency."

"Good!" The lieutenant general's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, exactly the same as Lieutenant General Alexander Hood's.

At first, this cold look made him feel afraid, but now he feels extremely kind and nostalgic.

"Find the murderer and punish him most ruthlessly! The Hood family will repay you for your kindness, Lieutenant."

"I will live up to the Emperor's wishes, General." Horatio nodded firmly in response.
-
Horatio walks out of Samuel Hood's mansion.

Next, he went directly to the 'Sky Cage', the residence of the Ravenno Inquisitor.

At this time, Inquisitor Ravenno was also working tirelessly. He was quickly searching for possible clues and the branches of various evil cult forces behind the scenes from the encrypted special-grade meditator array that was directly connected to the central network of the Inquisitor.

Dense Gothic text poured down the screen like a waterfall, and dark green characters flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

This step is both strange and familiar.

"Sir, please wait a moment. The Inquisitor is..." The plump woman in a tight combat suit trotted away, trying to dissuade Horatio.

Her steps were not as fast as Horatio's, and the young man looked aggressive. Due to her current status as an ally, she could not use violence, so she could not stop him in this situation.

The Inquisitor frowned and urgently shut down the encrypted meditator array.

As a high-security device of the Inquisition, this Thinker is equipped with a hidden facial and genetic recognition system.

Once an unregistered face is detected during operation, the specially designed high-yield melta bomb inside will immediately detonate in a self-destructive explosion, destroying the equipment, the unregistered personnel in front of it, and the entire floor to ashes.

The footsteps are already within reach.

"Mr. Cochrane, please wait!"

He could tell that Horatio was about to walk right in through the door, and he was horrified and hurriedly reminded him. His pupils were as sharp as needles, and he looked at the booby trap at the door in horror.

Horatio had reached the door and was face to face with him.

Just when he thought the naval officer would just step in so rashly.

The 'omen fragment' of Horatio's iron hand instantly alerted him to the danger.

The half-raised navy boots stopped abruptly in front of the door, and the azure blue eyes stared solemnly and coldly at the booby trap beside the door.

Inquisitor Ravenno breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to activate his psychic power, but instead he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, what's the emergency? Oh, my God, there's such a thing."

There was no need for Horatio to explain, as Inquisitor Ravenno had already understood what had happened from the message displayed in the bubble that popped up above the young man's head.

His face fell.

"I will take care of this matter."

He walked back to the Inquisition's Thinker Array, picked up the communicator used exclusively by judges within the Inquisition, tuned it to a specific channel, and used secret language to call someone who disgusted him physically and mentally.

William Carter, the Puritan Inquisitor of the Order of the Holy Hammer, never trusted any building on any planet or the people inside it, and he had no residence in Abyss Port.

Except when he was on a mission with a large number of men and fully armed, he would only stay on his black ship.

It's not just that he only trusts the places he has complete control over, but also because there are many tools on the ship that he can use, both living and dead.

Cartel had just assigned investigation tasks to his acolyte team and was about to enter a room with some kind of symbolic language written on the door when the implant on his head notified him that other Inquisitors were contacting him through the internal line.

With a sullen face, he walked towards another cabin, picked up the plain brass microphone without any decoration, looked at the name displayed on the pager, and laughed grimly.

"Clarence Ravenore, this is so rare, are you here to turn yourself in to me?"

"This time, considering that you are all members of the Holy Orders of the Imperial Inquisition and are all loyal Inquisitors to the God-Emperor and the Empire, I will only warn you one thing." Inquisitor Ravenno's tone was even colder than his.

“Make sure you can withstand the blowback when you abuse your power.”

"Humph, you've been with your inferior alien friends for a long time, and your speech has become as mysterious as the riddles they predict, right?"

"First of all, there are no aliens." Inquisitor Ravenno denied this everyday accusation without changing his expression and sneered:

"Secondly, are you...really okay?"

Then Inquisitor Ravenno raised the corner of his mouth and sneered rudely.

As soon as these words were spoken, William Cartell seemed to be greatly offended. His eyes widened and he shouted mercilessly:.

“How dare you slander me?! I know what I have done and what I am about to do. For the sake of protecting the purity of mankind, I have a clear conscience.

You, heretic bastard, will pay for your own stupidity.

Radical, there is only one outcome for you - excommunication.

This time I will definitely catch the evidence of your sins with my own hands, and then make you kneel down and confess to me, and finally smash you into pieces with the holy hammer!

[The price of sin is death]." He angrily read out the end of the Tribunal's order to exterminate traitors to Judge Ravenno.

"Hmph, oh my, I got it right. Are you angry?" Inquisitor Ravenno said sarcastically:

"Useless accusations and curses cannot cover up the truth. You'd better not let me catch you, otherwise... I will first make a hole in your head that is big enough to put the holy hammer in.

I remind you one last time that your absolute power, your privileges, and the arrogance they give you, may be useful to other fleets.

But this is the Gothic Sector, the Abyss Port, the anchorage of the legendary fleet that defeated the 12th Black Crusade.

In someone else's home turf, you'd better behave yourself and behave yourself, otherwise you will never imagine how much of a painful price you will pay for it.

By the way, she is here."

The other end of the communication fell into silence, and the Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer's eyes suddenly widened, as if his heart was seized by something unspeakable.

Beep——!
——With a sound, the communication was cut off.

Inquisitor Ravenno straightened up, looked grimly at the CRT screen, and sneered disdainfully to himself.

"who is she?"

"Adlatia, the witch-hunting inquisitor of the Order of Heresy." Inquisitor Ravenno turned around and introduced Horatio with a smile.

This name was not strange to Horatio, it was even very familiar.

This Inquisitor was the one who led the Imperial Guard in history and was ordered to investigate the corruption and erosion of the Blood Ravens.

In the end, they won a complete victory in the struggle against the hidden Chaos forces, successfully allowing the Blood Ravens to cleanse half of their corrupted brothers, and finally restore their loyalty and purity, avoiding the fate of the female Inquisitor who was destined to betray the chapter.

In the Empire, the Order of Heresy is the equivalent of the Inquisition's military police. They work closely with the Sisters of Battle to investigate a range of crimes including mutants, heresy, blasphemy, treason, and more.

Now the identities of the three Inquisitors who came to Abyss Port are clear, and each one is more legendary than the other.

From the conversation between Inquisitor Ravenno and Inquisitor Hammer, it can be seen that both of them are quite avoiding this witch-hunting Inquisitor and are secretly afraid of him.

But Inquisitor Ravenor might want to take it easy.

After all, Horatio knew that during the investigation of the Blood Ravens, Adlatia had clearly cooperated with the Eldar.

Which means...

For Inquisitor Ravenno, as long as he did not violate anything more taboo, this legendary witch-hunting inquisitor would not cause trouble for Mr. Ravenno because of the issue of having secret dealings with aliens.

But what about William Carter? Is he really clean and has no problems at all?

Horatio shook his head.

He knew very well that the so-called "pure" inquisitors of the Order of the Holy Hammer were the most likely to go astray due to their devilish nature.

'Debts must be paid, grievances must be repaid' is Horatio's principle.

"It seems that you know something. I mean, this 'great' Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer seems to have some shameful secrets."

Horatio narrowed his eyes dangerously, and in his mind he had already figured out how to deal with this arrogant guy.

As long as he and Inquisitor Ravenno can uncover the heresy of this Inquisitor of the Order of the Holy Hammer.

He could use these dirty tricks to ask the witch hunter who was the inquisitor of the Order of the Heretic to come and cut a bloody hole in the head of this abominable guy.

Judging from the attitude of this Alien Court Inquisitor, he would probably be happy to cooperate with him.

"I just happen to have some 'rumours' that have yet to be verified.

I have too many other more important matters to deal with, so I might turn a blind eye to such a small matter, but since he has done such a thing, why should I show him any mercy? "

Inquisitor Ravenno looked at Horatio, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said coldly and terrifyingly.

"If he really did something taboo and I found out, all I can give him is 'being respectable'.

Compared to accepting a formal "Denunciation" at a high-level secret meeting of several Grand Inquisitors, this is the last bit of fraternal friendship I can show him."

　This story is actually also used to show the readers the style and character of the three main orders of the Inquisition.

　　Hammer Order (Demon Court): A collection of the crazy people written by GW, a typical negative example. The conservatives of this order think you are not radical enough. Pol Pot is considered a mild case. This is a crazy order that can work with the Grey Knights to label the Space Wolves as traitors and cause the "Month of Shame", where "everyone is right, but everyone is hurt".

　　To this day, Wolf Cub is still furious when he looks at the Demon Court and the Grey Knights.

　　Representative figure: Gisnaros, who was killed by a wolf cub with an axe.

　　The most "heretic" of the three orders. A typical Alien Court with aliens. There are fewer crazy people, but more good people, who will listen to you (even if you are an alien) first. But most people don't have a good end, either die or go crazy, and it's good to be able to successfully retire. It is a Greek tragedy order, with a taste and meaning of Prometheus stealing fire. (I just want to save the empire, why are you doing this to me!)

　　Representative figure: Eisenhorn, who won everything and lost everything.

　　Heretic Order (Court of Heretics): The most mysterious of the three orders, they are experts in slapping people. They wear witch hunter hats and love burning people at the stake, so they have a lot in common with the Sisters of Battle. Most of their members are girls. There are also many crazy people, but they are reasonable. Usually you can sit down and talk with them after a good beating (bushi).

　　Representative figure: Greyfax, who pursued the living saint Saint Celestine as a heretic trial.

　　It's the beginning of the month, please vote!
