Chapter 269 04.0268: "Pride Cleansing Plan"

"Brother Captain, we have lost contact with the Inquisitor, but we have found residual traces of psionic energy on that black ship." The Ultramarines Librarian said to Cato Sicarius, who had just come down from the parade ground filled with flowers and cheers.

"According to the previous plan, if we lose contact with the Inquisitor, we will have to forcibly board the ship and search it," said Captain Afel.

He looked at Sicarius, "So what are your arrangements, cousin?"

The Second Extreme Captain stretched his muscles and took the power sword from his deputy captain.

"Of course, we will use these traitors as a pretext for our expedition."

Sicarius picked up his Roman power sword, held it upright in front of him, carefully looked at the gorgeous and delicate patterns on it, and then raised the sword high.

"Ultramarines, for Ultramar! Bring punishment to the traitors!!"

"Huh!"

The blue warriors lined up in several square formations inside the ship shouted and fought fiercely.

Two battle barges slowly approached the Inquisitorial Black Ship and forced it off its original course.
-
"Regarding the accidental injury, the Alliance feels deeply guilty. The establishment of the 596th Riot Squadron has been completely cancelled. The commander involved has also entered the trial process according to the procedures and will be sentenced soon. The Hive City Law Enforcement Force will also reflect deeply and will publicly apologize after the triumphal ceremony.

Please believe that the alliance has only infinite respect for the great Imperial Navy. For your precious personnel losses, we will compensate you ten times according to the highest standard." The representative of the Guild Alliance bowed all the way beside him, humbly making all kinds of promises, but Admiral Venuska Kataria didn't want to listen at all.

She was originally attending a great celebration today, but now she had to leave in a hurry.

"Kick them out!"

The alliance representative who was dragged out by the guards was still shouting, asking the admiral to reconsider the disposal plan.

Admiral Catalia arrived at the Fleet Security Committee office, and Commodore Peru and Commander Elphinstone stood up to greet her.

"A Lord Deathwatch from the Raven Guard has presented us with evidence of multiple acts of explicit and potential disloyalty within the Guild Alliance.

Now, execute the 'Pride Cleansing' plan!"

"As you command, Your Excellency!"

The officers in the Navy War Situation Room immediately became busy, various wired communications were heard continuously, and the radio waves over Abyss Port suddenly became dense.

"Assemble the air transport troops and prepare to arm!"

The security building occupied by the Citizen Army.

The bombardment of the Leman Russ 120mm artillery left many gaps in the building, and part of the structure has been reduced to ruins.

The trapped people inside used light firepower to continuously fire back at the outside, but they were soon suppressed by the firepower of the more professional Hive City military and police.

As the shells continued to fall, dust continued to fall, and Yin Shuyao and her cousin became like gray people.

Her father was wounded in the arm when a shell exploded and shrapnel lodged in his thigh.

"It's terrible. Grantaire, why are you still drinking at home? You were so passionate and ambitious before, but you are not in the Middle Nest at all now." Enjolras finally contacted the friend who had disappeared.

"Because all these efforts are meaningless. I had an epiphany. After overthrowing this one, the next one will be the same. The knowledge in the book has already told us the true meaning of human nature and reincarnation."

"What kind of book did you read in the library that led you to such a ridiculous conclusion?"

"It doesn't matter what I saw. What matters is that our struggle is meaningless. This era is meaningless. Instead of causing greater destruction, it is better to be completely destroyed in fire." The young man named Grantaire murmured ethereally at this moment, his eyes empty and his tone full of indifference after enlightenment.

"You were the one who tipped off the location of the armory to the Hive Marshals?"

"Goodbye, Enjolras. Anyway, we'll see each other again soon, right?" In the holographic image, the drunk young man picked up a pistol.

boom!
Enjolras cut off the communication with a stiff face.

"If the building cannot be held, we will move to another position," said Feuilly, the leader of the citizen army.

"Where else can we go?"

"I had a dream last night that there is a basement down here. If all else fails, we can go there."

"You're dreaming again."

Suddenly, a companion's voice came from behind.

"Enjolras, we caught a spy! This man sneaked in and didn't fight the enemy with a gun. He just wandered around here. When we caught him, he injured several people."

The plainclothes Arbitrator Javert was brought to the young man tied with hemp ropes, with bruises on his face.

Feuilly was furious. He kicked him in the abdomen and pointed his gun at the arbitrator's face: "You bastards, look at what you have done."

"These things have nothing to do with us, civilian." The arbitrator took a breath, slowed down, and stood up. His ribs that had just been repaired were aching slightly:
"I am an officer of the Imperial Court of Justice."

"I don't care who you are. Now, either you make these soldiers surrounding the fortress retreat, or I will blow your head off right now."

Suddenly, the man heard a burst of gunfire above his head.

"Boss, there's a plane in the sky!"

Feui rushed out and saw the Valkyrie fighter being attacked by automatic guns and laser guns, and also saw the Imperial Navy logo on it.

The weapons operator on the Valkyrie was turning the gun barrel under the nose of the aircraft, aiming it at the attacking mob.

"Cease fire! Cease fire!" the man shouted quickly.

Although the militants were unaware of the situation, they still took their fingers off the trigger.

The Valkyrie fighter, whose paint was wiped off by small-caliber bullets and lasers, slowly landed, and two fully armed power armor warriors walked out of it.

"Horatio?" Yin Shuyao, who followed up with blood on his hands, shouted in surprise.

"We need you to be ready to go," Horatio told the girl, then offered her his hand.

"Xiaoyao, who is he?" her cousin asked in confusion.

"From the Imperial Navy," said Feuilly, whom he had met once.

"You...are serving the Imperial Navy?" He looked at his cousin in surprise. "Yes, but I definitely didn't reveal your secrets." The girl bit her lower lip, knowing that misunderstandings were inevitable.

"Go with him now, it's not safe here."

Yin Shuyao felt slightly relieved by her cousin's unexpected words.

The young man stepped forward and said, "Sir, can you take the seriously injured civilians away? These people are not militants, they are just some innocent civilians passing by."

Horatio looked at the young man, who seemed quite tactful in his request.

He nodded in agreement and motioned for Archie to throw the emergency medicines on the Valkyrie and the spare survival supplies prepared for the crash to the Citizen Army.

The Citizen Army quickly moved the injured but still saveable civilians over, among them was Yin Shuyao's father, who was bleeding from a thigh injury and his face had turned pale.

The bound Arbitrator Javert was also sent over, and Horatio was quite surprised when he saw the Arbitrator appear.

He was waiting for the civilians to be put on the transport plane. These sudden events disrupted their original combat plan.

Horatio was somewhat worried that the re-planned puzzle pieces would be disrupted again, leading to an irreversible predetermined ending.

Just when he was worried, he received a message from Louise:

"Horatio, the Admiralty is gathering air transport troops. You lead the Death Watch team to continue according to the original plan. Please leave the affairs of Abyss Port to me."

Louise's words and her usual efficiency made him feel at ease despite his worries.

"This is a mission for the entire team. You can't complete it alone. Otherwise, what are we doing?" He remembered what Sergeant Valina said.

[Yeah, I’m not fighting alone.]
There is no doubt that these chaos are all sleight of hand to hinder the combat plan.

If you put aside your main goal and deal with these distractions one by one, you will fall into the trap and the puzzle will be disrupted again.

Now, what the Empire should do is to ensure the smooth implementation of the original plan while dealing with emergencies.

He reconfirmed the current situation through the information transmitted from the data pad on his arm.

A large-scale conflict broke out in Zhongchao.

The two Inquisitors were attacked by the Rubric Soldiers of the Thousand Sons during their raid on William Carter's black ship.

However, Captains Afiel and Sicarius, who are already on standby for emergencies, will handle this problem.

The three companies of Space Marines who stayed behind to attend the parade will go directly to the scene after it ends to assist the air transport troops in dealing with the mess that the Guild Alliance caused today.

Some of the Salamanders' Third Company's warriors had already intervened in the stability maintenance situation in Mid-Nest in advance, and no one dared to touch these noble Space Marines.

According to the plan, he should now infiltrate the target ship with the Death Watch and pick up Farida.

Once the target is discovered, the Salamanders and the surrounding naval armed forces will officially launch an armed raid on the state religion pilgrimage ship.

So even though there were unexpected events, everything was still within the controllable range of the plan.

But the only question is, where is William Carter, the Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer?

A creepy feeling that a mysterious and powerful person was weaving a web made him feel a little uneasy.

"Thank you for the rescue. I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Yin Shuyao's words brought him back from his thoughts.

She was not a girl who liked to cause trouble to others, and her face looked full of guilt.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Horatio rubbed her head and calmed his tone to a softer tone.

The girl shook her head, then she turned to her father, who was lying on a stretcher looking at the two of them, as if he had understood something.

"I'm sorry, father, I lied to you before. I discovered my mother's secret, and I've embarked on this path."

The man closed his eyes, nodded, and sighed weakly.

"No matter how hard I tried to hide the traces left by your mother, you still found them. Perhaps, this is fate." A bitter smile appeared on the middle-aged man's pale face.

"Can you tell me more about our family?" Yin Shuyao accompanied her father on his stretcher and walked with him onto the Valkyrie.

"I used to be a sergeant in the Guards. Your mother is from the famous exorcist family 'Zigui' on the planet.

I have been your mother's bodyguard for many years. Later, during the exorcism mission to Abyssal Harbor, our team suffered heavy losses and I saved her life. In order to complete the mission, under the emergency situation at that time, she had to sacrifice her life span and use the power of the lock to seal the gradually expanding medium-sized rift. "

The man sighed and smiled bitterly.

"In the end, we successfully completed the mission, but your mother's hair turned white overnight, her appearance became haggard, and her mind was damaged. She can only live for ten years.

In the end, we didn't go back to report. I hid my armor and gun, wanting to spend the last days of her life with her in Abyss Port.

Until nine years ago, she seemed to have foreseen something and tried to stop it, but she was too weak and was eventually attacked and fell to her death. In the end, I failed to protect her. "

“……”The girl was silent.

"Protect yourself. May the Emperor forgive me for my dereliction of duty. In essence, I am a deserter."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yin Yuanshan, we will take care of her safety."

Horatio said to the man, "Thank you for your loyal service to the empire. Your dedication is enough to offset your original decision. Rest and recuperate. The future depends on the efforts of our generation."

Then he looked at Arbitrator Javert: "Your Excellency Arbitrator, we can confirm that the Guild Alliance has suffered serious corruption."

"This is no longer an ordinary atrocity. We will dispatch air transport troops to quell the atrocities. Please ask the Imperial Law Department to also take action."

Arbitrator Javert looked at the young man. He originally discriminated against the unruly people, but after witnessing so many tragedies with his own eyes, the arbitrator remained silent on the surface, but in his heart he was already fighting fiercely as if in an apocalyptic-level battle.

Finally, he pursed his lips and stood up.

"Okay, please ask the Navy Department to send the relevant evidence to the Ministry of Justice. Once the evidence is conclusive, we will dispatch the Ultra-Heavy Armored Riot Suppression Brigade and Lemanus Suppression Tanks."
