Warhammer Inquisitor - Chapter 542
Chapter 542 Rise of the Lion King: Hongmen Banquet
The Valhalla legion is stationed far outside the city, which is not difficult to explain. After all, the entire expeditionary force is stationed in the city, which will always cause a lot of impact. It will affect the traffic, municipal administration, and the security caused by the soldiers when they come out to look for fun. Any problem will make the local government miserable.
After all, to put it simply, if a soldier of the Astra Militarum commits a crime, should you try him according to the local laws, or send him back to the Valhalla Legion for them to deal with internally? With a high probability, the latter will cover up and minimize major incidents. After all, within the legion are all comrades-in-arms who have blocked each other’s guns for each other, and within the army, they will naturally be more inclined.
And this is terrible, such a blatant cover-up behavior will definitely arouse the resentment of the local Hive City residents, especially now that many local people do not welcome outsiders, this will only lead to more difficult to deal with Security incidents, or even more serious ones, will lead to unrest, and this will definitely allow the noseless blue-skinned man to take advantage of the loopholes.
Therefore, after some discussions, all the regiments of Valhalla were stationed outside the city, and set up camps in the wilderness of the plateau. Come to build, and before all the camps are built, you will live in tents that are ventilated on all sides.
Although the cold wind here is not a big deal to the people of Valhallan, it is not a comfortable feeling after all, is it? Many people complained, but this was not so unbearable for the officers and soldiers of the 597th Valhalla Regiment, after all, they had a real garrison.
You see, it is always beneficial to follow the heroic political commissar Kane. Not only can you get better supplies and double the rations, but you can also be given priority to better camps, so when the political commissar who is respected by the whole regiment goes When he entered the camp, the love he received took a step further.
Kane led Vito and his fellow female judges into the barracks through the gate, surrounded by high walls, with barricades erected at the gate, as well as initially completed concrete wall piers, and assumed bulletproof steel plates.
The high walls surrounding the entire camp block the cold wind blowing from the surrounding tundra, but the overall temperature is still very low, snowflakes are flying in the air, and the breath from the mouth can form hoarfrost in the air.
But this still can’t stop the enthusiastic Valhallan people from entering the camp, deploying and carrying personal luggage, and the equipped Valhallan people greet Kane enthusiastically. Their love for Kane seems to be even stronger. One floor, after all, they had a real house to live in.
The men and women of the 597th regiment in Valhalla cheered, while Kane waved to them frequently. He is an easy-going political commissar, and you can see that he would not respond to them with those boring official words of the political commissar, unless he was giving a speech. Now, he uses more affectionate titles.
“Sansa, oh, nice to meet you, it seems that your platoon came in early, how are the girls doing?” Kane asked with a smile, and Sansa, who was beside the military vehicle, touched her with her hand. Her own hair, her short gray hair, was put in a headband, and she carried the box with a figure.
She handed the box to a female soldier behind her, then wiped the sweat from her forehead, put her strong arms on her waist with abdominal muscles, “Very good, political commissar, everyone’s morale is high, and they are ready to join in at any time.” fighting.”
“Ah, very good, but I hope that the fight is not so early as possible.” “It is true, Commissar, we are still moving equipment, but I promise! Soon we will be able to deal with any enemy, for the Emperor!”” Yes, for that, the Emperor, go on, Sergeant Sansa, and have a good day.”
Kane smiled wryly and walked forward. He really didn’t want to fight so early. He just arrived, and he hasn’t enjoyed the few days after getting off the crowded transport ship with turbid air. If If possible, Kane hopes that this day will be as long as possible, the longer the better.
Behind him, Vito didn’t have such a frowning face. He dragged his chin and looked at Sansa’s abs, and the other strong but slender female soldiers behind her showed funny smiles until The female colleague next to him grabbed his arm.
He glanced at her with a wry smile, and then followed Kane under the latter’s eyes full of complaints, and entered the center of the camp ahead. It was a tall reinforced concrete building that looked like a warehouse.
This place is used as the central camp of the 597th Regiment, as well as the headquarters. There are a large number of intricate telephone lines and communication cables laid on the ground under the tall dome. The command center that is being erected is gradually taking shape around it. Radio stations, tactical terminals, and communication base stations They are all being built in an orderly manner.
Vito looked around appreciatively, “It seems that they know what to do and are very proficient.” “Thank you for your compliment, but all the credit should be attributed to our regiment leader, Colonel Kastin , and Major Braun.”
“And you, political commissar. Without you, our regiment would not have achieved what it is today.” A familiar female voice came from one side, and Vito turned his head to look. It was a red-haired woman, the hair color he liked. .
The man was wearing a black elongated military coat, and the hanging coat covered the perfect figure below, with only a pair of long legs wearing knee-high riding boots exposed, walking with steady and powerful steps Come.
Vito admired the blue eyes, as if they were amber gems, and the slightly purplish red lips made people think
His female colleague grabbed him by the waist and moved his eyes away from those lips. Vito smiled wryly, and then looked at her brochure, Colonel Military Academy, her identity, and the obvious .
“Colonel Castine, I’m glad you’re here. The boys and girls are doing well under your command. The camp is taking shape.”
“This is what I should do, political commissar. I heard about the accident on the road before. It was really dangerous and shameful. Since those despicable enemies are planning to use terrorist attacks to kill our political commissar!”
Castine said indignantly that he only cared about Kane in his eyes, while the young officer behind him, who was a major, was full of awe in his eyes. Apart from Kane, he quickly noticed Vito.
“I think you are the judge.” “Oh? How did you recognize it?” “You are dressed in black, just like what all the judges described. Of course, the more important thing is that you walk Pace, cautious, and ready to fight, that’s not what civilians do.”
Vito looked at the major in a little surprise, and then showed an expression of appreciation, “Keep observation, major, I think you are Braun, right?”
“Major Braun Falco.” He stood at attention and responded with a strong voice. Vito smiled at him, and then reached out to shake hands with Castine. The latter took off his gloves to show respect. She That seemingly small but powerful hand was held together with Vito, letting him know that the mortal bolter hanging on the colonel’s waist was definitely not a decoration.
“It’s a great honor to meet you, Lord Inquisitor. We have received news from Captain Sura. Your Astartes friends have been well placed. They are investigating the local situation according to your orders, and you One of my friends also made a suggestion for our defense.”
“Strict advice, and very effective.” Serious Braun immediately added, and Vito immediately knew who it was, he smiled and shook Castine’s hand, “Our honor, It’s the right thing to do.”
“Here, is this your colleague? Also a judge?” Kastin let go of Vito’s hand and asked the woman with short black hair behind him. Vito stood up with a smile, came to her side and held her down. her shoulders.
“Alice Angie, Judge of the Hall of Heresy.” After Vito said, “Alice” stared at him, his eyes seemed to be full of dissatisfaction. There’s an issue with the name, you know, God knows where it came from, like, some governor’s daughter?
But Vito just smiled and didn’t explain anything. He quickly turned his eyes back to Castine, who looked at Alice and nodded respectfully, then turned his head back as a gesture.
“Please follow up, my lord judges, let’s talk in a quieter place.” Kastin suggested, and then several people went to the second floor of the warehouse, where the glass office of the warehouse manager had been. The regiment headquarters that had been converted into Kastin, although it hadn’t had time to tidy up, was quiet enough.
Vito was the last one to enter the room, looking at the table in front of him, and there were maps and documents piled up all around. The door behind him was closed, and only one person did not come in. Jurgen stayed outside. After entering, both Castine and Braun heaved a sigh of relief, especially the latter, whose throat he had been suppressing all this time, could finally breathe again.
“Jurgen’s smell, I’ve tried a way, but unfortunately it’s useless, it’s like sticking to him.” “Don’t worry, I’ve smelled worse.” Vito said and came to the window in front of the glass window In front of the desk, Kastin stood behind the desk, overlooking the entire camp from here.
“Alright, no one here will bother you, let alone eavesdrop. My lord judge, have you found anything? Regarding the previous terrorist attacks, this already shows that the local situation has exceeded the expectations of the Valhalla Expeditionary Force.”
Kastin stood behind the table and said, and Braun beside her immediately made his own addition, “Before we arrived, we only learned from the briefing that there was some commotion in the local area, and the main enemy is still the Tau tribe. But as things stand, our enemies are not just the Tau.”
“Indeed, there are still rebels, and the situation here is even more restless than I expected.” Vito said and propped himself up on the table. He looked at the city map on the table in front of him. There were still no marks on it, which also represented , Kastin’s regiment, know nothing about this place.
“Have you learned anything? My lord, regarding the terrorist attack, someone must have planned it for a long time. We have just arrived in Terrell Munda, and we encountered such an assassination. Since they want to frame our political commissar in such a despicable way, If they succeed, the morale of the whole regiment, and even the whole army, will suffer.”
Braun said angrily, but soon raised his head to look at Kane, full of awe, “But I believe that Commissar Kane, as in the past, heroically led our soldiers to counterattack! the enemy of crime.”
“Ah, yes, that’s right, everyone is very brave, except for those cowards.” Kane said pretending to be calm, and then found Zhang to sit down. Alice looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows, as if feeling something Something is wrong.
“Has the trial court noticed anything? If it’s not a secret.” Kastin asked more calmly and calmly, while Vito looked at the map and shook his head, “I just arrived, and I don’t know much more than you, but One thing I can tell you is that local officials are not reliable.”
“Naturally, those Justice Department guys, they’re supposed to keep the streets safe! But a self-destructing truck plowed into the parade, and they owe us an explanation.”
“Or, the local legal department, wasn’t it careless?” Vito raised his head and said coldly. Braun immediately fell silent, with a serious expression on his face, and he glanced at Castine beside him. , the latter also frowned.
“You mean, the local government has already betrayed?” “Every government in the imperial world has more or less traitors, but the number is not yet clear. We have to be careful and wait for the enemy to show his feet. “
“That’s right, we will observe secretly and choose the most suitable time to kill those traitors of the empire with one blow! For the emperor!” Kane said solemnly while sitting on the chair, waving his fingers like a real As firm as the imperial political commissar, and it brings the same firmness to others.
“Even if they have already come to the door, we will face them directly! I, Kayphas Kane, will do my part!” Kane stood up and announced loudly, in exchange for a fight between Kastin and Braun There was a sense of awe in his eyes, and even Vito was cast admiring glances by the superb political commissar skills.
Except for Alice, she looked at Kane with a strange expression, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell, until a hurried phone call interrupted them.
Kastin raised the phone on the table, put it to his ear to listen to the voice, then frowned and put down the phone and looked at Kane, “The political commissar, the chief judge of the Ministry of Justice, sent his adjutant to invite You go to your local legal headquarters and say you want to apologize in person.”
“Ah?” Kane was startled, and immediately began to regret his crow’s mouth. No matter how you look at it, it’s the failure of the traitor’s plan. Let’s plot further. My God, why do you always arrange this kind of work for me? ?
“Great, great.” Vito leaned on the table, looked at Kane with his arms in his arms, and Braun behind him immediately questioned, “My lord, this is a grand feast, traitors. The plot failed, trying to trick the political commissar.”
For the first time, Kane praised and appreciated Braun’s keen observation, and looked at him gratefully, but Vito shook his head, “Assassinate their heroic commissar in front of all Valhalla soldiers? No, at least it won’t be that obvious, and, isn’t that what we’re waiting for, the enemy showing his feet?”
Vito showed a treacherous smile, Castine and Braun looked at him, then looked up at Kane, who stood there with a wry smile, “Please go, commissar, don’t worry, I will Followed by, I mean, us.”
Alice pressed Kane’s shoulder, which shocked the latter, and then Kane smiled wryly in his heart, “Why does this happen every time I get involved with the Tribunal?”
