Chapter 272 04.0271: "You can tell who is a heretic at a glance"

"Where are you going? My distinguished guests." Just as everyone was about to retreat to the side door, a bald bishop escorted by two noise warriors blocked their way.

"You can't escape." Melina sneered at the enemy: "The Gothic fleet will blockade this pilgrim ship."

"We didn't even think about running away."

The fat bishop laughed and said, "When our final sacrifice is completed here, you, including the naval port world below, will be doomed and become food sacrifices for the one true God!"

The fat bishop clapped his hands, and a warrior in power armor walked out from behind the bishop.

"You are..." Military Supervisor Melina suddenly opened her eyes with a look of disbelief.

"You traitors..."

The Holy Hammer Inquisitor, with a blue glow in his eyes, tightly grasped his war hammer, gritting his teeth and spewing out visible hot air:
"I already know everything. It was you two bitches, shameful traitors, who leaked my secrets to my opponents!

It is you who have destroyed the great cause of the Divine Emperor! You deserve to die! Your crime is unforgivable!"

"Inquisitor, calm down! Please listen to my explanation! This is actually..."

"Military Supervisor Melina, don't explain to him, look behind him." Farida reminded as she slowly backed away.

Military Supervisor Melina looked at the grinning face with blurred and distorted features sticking out from behind the Holy Hammer Inquisitor's neck, as if there were two heads, one real and one virtual, growing on one body.

"He is no longer the Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer." Farida said:
"What we have before us now is nothing more than a corrupted puppet that has been corrupted by hatred."

"Although this trap was set for that kid named Horatio, since you stepped on it for him, it's just the same if I kill you first!"

Then the Fallen Bishop raised his hand and shouted, "The sacrifice is on the way. Destroy these false emperor's servants, especially that untouchable bitch. She must not be allowed to live!"

The bishop pointed directly at Farida.

"Farida! Run! Go upstairs through the holy passage!" Military Supervisor Melina shouted immediately.

The Chaos Space Marines and Hammer Inquisitors nearby rushed forward, the Loyal Stormtroopers bravely stood in front of the Military Supervisor, and the Military Supervisors stood in front of the young trainee Military Supervisor.

"Don't even think about getting through! Don't even think about hurting her!" Military Supervisor Melina said sternly.

These Storm Heirs switched their Hell weapons to dangerous overload mode and fired at the surrounding traitors, ignoring the heat of high-energy lasers and the threat of weapon explosions.

The fully powered heat lasers burned through even the armour of the Traitor Astartes, destroying their hearts with pinpoint accuracy.

A Noise Warrior did not dodge at all on his way up, and after being hit by concentrated fire, he knelt on the ground in pain. His swollen throat squirmed, and he let out a sharp roar through the sound array grille, amplifying his own pain tenfold and transmitting it to these Emperor warriors with malice.

Under this kind of mental torture, the hands of the loyal stormtroopers at the front began to tremble violently and unconsciously, but with amazing willpower, their fingers were still firmly pulling the triggers.

By this time, the Emperor's warriors had realized that the Fallen before them were no longer the demigods they knew them to be. They were just a group of fallen vessels filled with pain and death.

Strengthen your abilities by experiencing the pleasure brought by pain.

A noise warrior wildly activated the strange weapon in his hand that looked like a musical instrument, and a stormtrooper who was unable to dodge was instantly enveloped by strange light and sound waves.

"Ah!!!" The armor of the stormtrooper who was hit began to shatter, followed by the layers of clothes underneath, and finally revealing his naked body with bulging veins.

There was blood coming out of the corners of his eyes, his face was red, and patches of bruises appeared on his body, as if he had been beaten all over in an instant.

The victim fell to the ground, his blue body curled up in agony, trying his best to use his vocal cords to let out a creepy scream. He was in a half-dead, extremely painful state, suffering greatly.

Military Supervisor Melina, despite the splitting headache, gave the victim a loyalty bomb.

But this kind of unromantic and rough execution that lacks noble aesthetics seems to make the noise warriors very unhappy.

The 'destruction whistles' on their power backpacks emitted their boiling anger and dissatisfaction.

One after another, two Military Supervisors and three Stormtroopers were tortured to the point of mental breakdown by the enemy's vicious weapons because of their absolute loyalty to the Emperor. The pain they suffered was proportional to their unwavering faith in the Emperor.

Miserable screams enveloped the entire central church.

The pain is transforming into energy, stirring the waves in the warp. Gleaming rays of light flicker, repairing the cracks on the purple gem in the hands of the Fallen Bishop. It begins to emit an evil light, enveloping the Fallen - the power of demons strengthens the attacks of the Noise Warriors.

Waves of painful sound hit the black barrier around Farida, continuously shrinking the radius supported by the barrier. Under the enhancement of powerful demonic power, the original coverage radius of 330 meters was compressed to 50 meters.

Military Supervisor Melina was knocked off balance by one of the sound waves and fell into the black barrier.

She felt as if someone was poking and stirring her brain with a thousand red-hot needles. Her thoughts and soul seemed to be driven away from her body by the pain and no longer belonged to her. It seemed that only Farida and Valina, who were closest to her, were not seriously injured.

After a tremor, Melina felt an itch in her palm.

The female military supervisor gasped and turned over the back of her hand tremblingly. A crescent-shaped blasphemous scar was slowly emerging in the palm of her hand.

"Military Supervisor Melina..." Farida called out in a trembling voice.

The female military supervisor looked at Farida.

“Your eyes…” “Eyes…?”

Military Supervisor Melina turned her head and looked at the pilgrimage mirror beside her. In the mirror, one of her eyes was gradually turning pure black.

[God Emperor above, it is corruption...]
She retracted her attention, focused her thoughts, and tried her best to use her willpower to resist the further spread of corruption.

"You are indeed a bunch of heretics! You are the devil hiding beside me!"

Driven by the ugly and deformed head behind him and his anger, the former Inquisitor rushed towards Farida, brandishing his war hammer.

"Farida, be careful!"

Just as Farida was about to raise her gun, a psychic lightning shot out from the tumor-like head on the Inquisitor's neck, forcing her to duck forward.

Before she could get up from the ground, the sledgehammer had already made a whistling sound not far behind her head and fell towards Farida's head.

Just as she was about to be shattered into pieces, the sound of swords colliding and the repulsion of the decomposition force field made her turn her head in surprise.

"Don't even think about hurting her, the former Inquisitor of the Holy Hammer. You have already betrayed the right path, you are the shameful traitor." Military Supervisor Melina's facial muscles twitched, and the power sword in her hand was pressed tightly against the Inquisitor's Hammer.

"You are a disgrace for leaking secrets! Go to hell!" The former Inquisitor drew back his hammer and swung it down again.

"This is my malfeasance, and has nothing to do with her. I leaked your information to your opponent, and I stole your glory and victory. If you have any questions, come to me!"

Veins bulged on the former Inquisitor's ferocious face. He stared at Melina and swung his hammer towards her while roaring.

"Farida, go! We'll cover you! Valina! Protect her and that girl!"

"Yes!" Sergeant Valina held the unconscious girl in one hand and fired the Hell Gun behind her with the other.

At this time, the members of the Fifth Military Supervisory Department and the Stormtroopers had given up on evacuating. They tried their best, using their flesh and blood as shields, to surround and hold down the Noise Warriors, leaving the chance of survival to the young trainee military supervisor and the psychic girl they rescued.

[It's this feeling again... People died one by one for me...] Farida struggled to stand up, gasping for breath, tears welling up in her eyes, and a deep sense of guilt swept over her.

"Farida." At this moment, Military Supervisor Melina distanced herself from the Inquisitor after three rounds of fighting, turned her head slightly and said:
"Don't waver, don't blame yourself, this is not your fault. The evil energy has already contaminated us. We can only protect your successful retreat. This is the last thing we can do.

You must... complete your mission!"

Melina felt her thoughts gradually becoming erratic, as if falling into the clouds. Waves of lighthearted joy from the bottom of her heart were eroding her reason, and a sweet and happy smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her mouth.

boom! boom! boom!
The pilgrimage ship began to shake violently, followed by a series of dull cannon shots that were slightly slower than the first.

The warships of the Imperial Navy's Gothic Fleet launched a devastating volley of naval artillery and lance fire at the stern engines of the pilgrimage ship, completely cutting off the possibility of the pilgrimage ship's escape.

Faced with the video evidence recorded and submitted by the Fifth Military Inspectorate, the Imperial State Church not only did not take action, but actively cooperated, hoping that the Gothic Fleet could quickly eliminate the traitors for them so that they could deal with this scandal secretly.

To this end, the Imperial Church is sending anti-rebellion crusaders to assist the navy in boarding ships, and the Holy Rose Sisters are also mobilizing all available high-level combat nuns.

But this requires a short period of preparation, otherwise the souls of the naval officers and soldiers who rashly board the ship may become snacks thrown into the devil's mouth, which will only increase the devil's power in vain.

"Hurry up! The Imperial Navy will pick you up soon! Get out of here! Don't let our sacrifice go to waste!"

Farida gritted her teeth, held back the tears in her eyes, and rushed out of the door.

"Come on, traitor, let us settle this between us."

Under the influence of corruption, Military Inspector Melina felt that her body and movements had become much lighter and more agile. Wearing only the uniform of the Marine Inspector, she was able to dodge and move around and not lose to the former Inquisitor who was wearing force-feedback power armor.

She pulled the Eagle chain, which had been polished to a shine by the years, from her collar, wrapped it around her hand, and held the bronze Emperor Eagle in the palm of her sword-holding hand.

William swung the hammer violently, but Melina dodged it nimbly.

With her agility, she cut William's arm with a sword, and sparkling blue blood flowed out from the wound.

William punched her in the face as well, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out of her mouth, followed by blood flowing out of her nose, smearing her face which had become more frivolous and charming due to corruption.

"You can tell who is a heretic at a glance."

The two men stepped forward again, and a buzzing sound of force fields repelling each other erupted between the power sword and the power hammer.

Farida rushed forward desperately under the cover of Valina.

All channels were unable to contact the outside world, and she didn't know if Horatio could get her location.

"Sergeant Valina, how can I contact the outside world?"

"Go check out the breach in the hull. Ordinary evil interference will be diluted by the void, so it might be helpful to go there. Run to the stern, which has just been bombarded by the Imperial Navy!"

The two turned a corner on the road ahead and went straight to the stern of the ship.
