Chapter 262 04.0261: "Emperor's Four"

In the Sky Cage conference room, several black-armored warriors standing there were particularly conspicuous.

"According to my intelligence." Hadinis took out the video footage:
“We found that the spread of the plague was closely related to the pharmaceutical guilds. Many of the medicines they distributed were fake medicines that were mixed with too much starch and squeezed out the dosage of the active ingredients, so that the spread of the plague was not truly curbed.

The Holy Rose Congregation rebuilt a grassroots preaching system at the junction of the middle and lower nests, which largely met the religious needs of these civilians.

After you distributed supplies last time, many residents here finally lived in peace for a while, and the local order was stabilized from a civilian perspective. The pilgrimage groups were not so noisy, and many fanatics said that the pilgrimage point could be at the Tiannu Church, and there was no need to leave the planet. The spread of the plague was at least under control at the level of crowd control. "

"It seems that saving their lives and providing them with supplies is not a waste of our money." Horatio nodded pertinently.

"Good deeds will bring good results." said a black-armored warrior wearing a MK.VI raven helmet.

On his left arm and shoulder were the ornate silver shoulder armor of the Deathwatch, and on his right shoulder was the emblem of his chapter - the Raven Guard.

As descendants of the Crow King Corvus Corax, each of them is a master of stealth and exploration.

Many people, like Horatio, had a poor life in the Underhive before becoming Space Marines. After becoming Space Marines, they did more than they said, and never put on airs of superiority towards civilians.

"Lord Korchagin." Inquisitor Ravenno called out to the black-armored warrior:

"Investigate the Guild Alliance and the Planetary Governor. If you discover any corresponding criminal behavior, you have the authority to execute them first and report later."

The Raven Guard nodded slightly and left the meeting room.

"Mr. Cochrane, these next battle brothers from Deathwatch are the reinforcements I promised to bring you."

Inquisitor Ravenor stood up and said, "Please allow me to introduce these angels of the God-Emperor."

Horatio looked at the four Death Watch in front of him with the Dark Templars, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, and one with his chapter emblem covered on his shoulder armor.

Among them, the warrior standing in the middle with unknown emblem had a bright red hood on his head and covered the chapter logo with a black shawl, as if he didn't want to reveal it.

Horatio locked eyes with the hooded Death Watch.

"The one you see is the captain of this Death Watch team, a Black Shield brother who does not want to reveal his own chapter..."

The Black Shield Warrior reached out and took off his helmet. With a click, the mechanical buckle unlocked, followed by a hissing sound of pressure relief.

"God-Emperor..." Horatio couldn't help swallowing as he looked at the tall warrior in front of him with a firm gaze, a serious expression, and four service spikes on his head.

"Lord Nuus."

The Inquisitor saluted the warrior, then said to Horatio:
"Each of these Death Watch warriors has their own strengths and unique skills. Their faith and strength are amazing. I'm sure they will bring you unexpected surprises!"

"Yes, you are right, Inquisitor." Horatio saluted respectfully to the four Death Watch, then turned around and said from the bottom of his heart:

"I think we're safe."

As a time traveler, he knew that the real name of this 'Nuus' was Titus.

Yes, with this legendary former Ultramarines Second Company Captain who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, how could it not be stable? —
When Horatio returned to the Admiralty Fortress, he saw two groups of people blocking the fortress gate.

He parked the hovercraft and hurried over.

"Sir, please show your pass." The guards stopped the man leading the team.

"Can't you see what this is?" the man asked coldly and angrily, pointing at the rose knot on his chest.

The guard was startled, and then said, "Your Excellency the Inquisitor, please sit down for a moment. I will contact the Lord Admiral immediately."

"Get out of here!"

"Your Honor, what can I do for you?" Horatio immediately stepped forward and blocked his way. Although his tone was respectful and businesslike, everyone could tell that he was in a bad mood.

The hovercraft that was originally passing by also stopped at this time.

Lieutenant General Samuel Hood, who happened to be on a business trip, got out of the back seat of the car, adjusted his bicorne hat decently, tilted his head, and looked at the inquisitor who had long displeased him with an unruly and angry look on his face.

"Isn't this the 'famous' (notorious) Lord William Cattell? What brings you to our Gothic Admiralty?"

"In the name of the Holy Inquisition, I order you to release me immediately. I have reason to believe that you have stolen my secrets."

"Steal your secrets?" Lieutenant General Samuel laughed sarcastically, and the staff officers accompanying him also laughed out loud.

"So, you want to break into the Navy Department and search it today? Who are you searching for?" Lieutenant General Samuel sneered.

"I'll know who to investigate once I get in." The Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer, wearing power armor, placed his hand on his power hammer.

"If you can't tell me exactly who you are investigating, don't even think about crossing this gate today." Lieutenant General Samuel's voice suddenly became serious and angry.

Soon, Brigadier General Perru and Captain Elphinstone also arrived, and the two captains of the founding regiment who came to the Admiralty to discuss the defense plan, as well as the Space Marines who were patrolling and guarding the fortress, also rushed to the steel gate of the Admiralty Fortress. Then, the military supervisors of the Abyssal Port Military Supervisory Bureau also rushed over.

"Sir William Carter, what are you doing?" Military Supervisor Melina saluted the navy and then asked the judge:
"According to the Joint Investigation Act, if you want to investigate the Navy Department, you should let our supervisory agency do it. This is the power given to us by the Star Domain Navy Headquarters Disciplinary Investigation Team. You should not take action on your own. This is not the same as before."

Farida, who was following Military Supervisor Melina, saw her uncle and Horatio at a glance. She was at a loss, but in order to maintain her image, she could only stand upright by the side.

"These despicable people must have stolen our secrets, otherwise they would not have been able to reach that ruined island before us last night!"

"Do you have any evidence? Or how do you know so clearly that we won't be ahead of you? I was the one leading the navy last night." Horatio asked a series of questions.

This made the judge's face twisted with anger.

Swish!
The power hammer revealed a decomposition force field, and the Holy Hammer Inquisitor was furious and wanted to make an example of it.

Snapped.

As soon as he raised his hand, a strong scarlet armored hand grabbed the handle of the hammer.

The Inquisitor looked in surprise at the man who stopped him, a Blood Angels Captain.

"How dare you hammer to death a loyal general of the Empire in front of us for no reason? Inquisitor." Captain Aphiel looked down at this mortal with cold eyes.

Soon, Captain Agatone also stood beside the Captain of the Second Company of Holy Blood, his fiery eyes filled with obvious hostility as he looked at the unreasonable Inquisitor in front of him with displeasure.

"I have seen many Orders of the Inquisition, but the Order of the Holy Hammer is the one I hate the most. Because we kill civilians to save more people from suffering. But you will only bring greater pain after the pain and hardship are over."

Facing the murderous Order of the Mad, even Captain Agathond, who was regarded as "cold-blooded" by his comrades, made a sharp and blunt comment, and carried a bigger and more powerful power hammer on his shoulders, with the threat evident in his words.

The Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer gritted his teeth and was so angry that veins popped out on his head.

Suddenly, a cold gaze met his eyes.

She was a woman wearing a witch-hunting hat, and her eyes were as cold as the void.

The Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer was startled, and violently snatched the hammer handle away. He shuddered, and with a tense face, he boarded the dark shuttle in silence with his Inquisition attendants.

When he looked at the woman's place again before boarding the plane, there was no one there, as if it was just an illusion.

"I'm sorry, your Excellencies. We will keep an eye on him from now on." Military Supervisor Melina saluted everyone again apologetically.

"You guys are really working hard." Lord Admiral Venuska Katalia, who arrived with a staff group, returned the greeting to the military supervisors: "On the one hand, you have to prepare a written report for the investigation team, and on the other hand, you have to look after that troublesome guy like a nanny."

"It is my duty, Lord Admiral. We have other things to do, so we'll take our leave now."

"Just a few minutes, Farida, come here."

Lieutenant General Samuel Hood shouted in an irresistible tone.

Farida glanced at Military Supervisor Melina, who nodded and motioned for her to come over.

Other Navy colleagues gave the Vice Admiral and his niece some private time.

"How have you been lately?"

"Everything is fine, uncle, no, Your Excellency Lieutenant General." Farida saluted stiffly.

"Look at the dark circles under your eyes. What's good about that? Do you know how worried this young gentleman is about you?" The lieutenant general pointed to Horatio beside him.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry, Your Excellency, but I have my own difficulties."

"Do you know what I'm going to do today? The maintenance personnel have detected a life signal under the ruins at the bottom of the breach of the Sacred Will, which your father once commanded. Although it is not certain that it is your father, considering that only the fleet command throne has this kind of emergency life support device, I am optimistic about it."

Farida's eyes lit up.

"I have to get busy now. The rest of the time will be left to you and this gentleman."

Lieutenant General Samuel Hood patted Horatio on the back and pushed him forward.

However, the military supervisors were still waiting for Farida in the distance, so now was not the right time to discuss topics that should not be discussed with her.

And even though no one else could hear her, she still looked a little nervous and uneasy when facing Horatio in public.

"I'll wait for you at the hedge next to Swan Lake."

Farida raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise. She obviously had not expected that he would know her "secret base".
