In the spacious hall of the Veteran's House Tavern, a group of mercenaries and adventurers were discussing why these big names who had just appeared were gathered here. The protagonists of their talk www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion are now concentrated in a conference room on the third floor that is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

In this room, there is a device to block eavesdropping. And no one can use a bug in front of a mechanical sage without being detected.

Outside the hallway of the room, there are tavern guards with weapons to cordon off. If you don't have to wait for someone to get closer, you will be beaten into a sieve.

It is because the Veteran's House has such a special floor that it is valued by the gang forces of Akid. Often, any important negotiations are conducted in this safe and neutral environment.

Contrary to the bustle of the lobby on the first floor, in the conference room. The people representing the major forces of the empire looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to speak. Although these people were nominally the power of the Empire, none of them looked down on anyone.

After all, the Mechanical, Imperial, Anglican, and Space Marines are all armed forces that belong to different systems.

This quiet and boring wait only lasted ten minutes. Then the door to the room was opened again, and everyone turned to look at the comer.

The person who came in this time was wearing a long gray trench coat, a large round hat, and long gray hair draped behind him. The curve of the raised chest shows that the other person is a woman. The pale face was as strange as the lack of blood, and it looked like an ordinary adventurer.

However, this woman with an excessively pale face, with skull decorations on her shoulders and chest, clearly showed her identity, a member of the Order of the Holy Hammer of the Imperial Inquisition.

The Inquisitors of the Order of the Holy Hammer are responsible for striking at the physical manifestation of the Chaos itself: the Demons. They vowed to discover and punish these creatures for every waking hour, wherever they were.

Therefore, as long as these inquisitors are present, there must be events related to the forces of chaos. And it also represents the possibility of a large number of casualties.

The Inquisition was an organization independent of the Imperial Administration, and as such, they were as unwelcome characters as the Fighting Nuns of the State Church.

After all, one likes to torture suspicious people and play SM confession games. The other likes to burn people, and ignites anyone with heretical tendencies as barbecue.

"Isn't this Inquisitor Evelyn, I didn't expect you to be the last person to participate in the meeting. If you've been late for so long, you haven't found what you're interested in, right? The Imperial officer looked at the Inquisitor and said sarcastically, apparently the relationship between the two was not very good.

In fact, no Imperial officer would like an Inquisitor, and these guys often lock the object of suspicion on the officers and troops under their command who lead the army in a long-term battle against the forces of Chaos.

The Inquisitor suspects that these people, in the process of long-term exposure to Chaos, will be contaminated by the chaotic energy from the subspace, and then betray the Human Empire or demonize.

As a result, many soldiers or officers who were under suspicion were taken away by the judges of the Inquisition, and most of them never reappeared.

"Commissar Murphy, you'd better watch your words, your troops are the focus of our Inquisition." The judge, named Evelyn, retorted without hesitation. After saying this, she walked directly to an empty seat and sat down.

The political commissar, known as Murphy, sneered, but did not open his mouth to fight back. Instead, in his seat, he played with a richly decorated short sword.

"It's rare that representatives of the major institutions representing the Empire in the Gothic Star Region have gathered together today, so let's calm down. The most important thing now is the attack of the forces of chaos. The Space Marine, dressed in gray power armor, spoke in a slow tone. At the same time, he looked around at these colleagues, and found that everyone except for Inquisitor Evelyn did not care.

This Space Marine was a little helpless, and there was no way that this meeting was initiated by himself. But none of the people who came to participate were fuel-efficient lamps.

"Captain Kenan is right, today is an important time to discuss the list of things that are happening in the Gothic Sector. I'm not here to find trouble. Evelyn said to the people around her, "Usually the Inquisitor is a very strong existence, and he will definitely not show weakness to any other department of the empire.

However, the situation is really different today, and it was Kenan, the captain of the Grey Knights, who spoke before, so Evelyn had to support her.

This Kenan's man is not an ordinary group of Space Marines at all, but a squadron leader from the Empire's most mysterious unit, the Grey Knights.

The Grey Knights have a special place in the Warhammer world, as they are a warband that has been formed specifically to fight Chaos. Their identities are very mysterious, and there are very few people in the empire who know their true identities. The presence of these fighters is often known only to the top of the government and senior military officers.

If the Inquisition is within the borders of the Empire, there are people who can be trusted and cooperated. Then it is undoubtedly the Grey Knight Warband that specializes in fighting demons and alien creatures.

Because the founders of both institutions were found by the same person. Therefore, from the very beginning, the two institutions had a close and unknown relationship.

"This time the forces of Chaos raided the Gothic Star Zone, and the subspace storm blocked the reinforcements of reinforcements from other regions of the Empire. We must unite all forces to survive until the end of the subspace storm. The blonde-haired battle nun looked at the Magi of the Mechanicus on the other side.

Among the people present, this one has remained silent, although he has been silent. But everyone knows that if you want to talk about combat effectiveness, I'm afraid he is the most powerful.

In the Warhammer world, anyone who dares to underestimate the Magi of the Mechanics is purely looking for death. Every Mechclage who has earned the title of Magi is a high-tech combatant. He has a large number of combat auxiliary troops under his command and his own warships, which are incomparable to everyone present.

Moreover, a mechanical Magi can easily get a large number of reinforcements in other forging worlds. Such special treatment is not something that few other institutions can enjoy.

It turned out that the people who participated in this top-secret meeting on the spot were all special forces in the Gothic Star Zone from major institutions of the empire. For example, the Murphy Commissar led the commander of the Imperial Stormwind Army. The Magi Mechanica is a powerful character who comes to the Gothic Star Region to explore. The Inquisitor and the Grey Knight are not simple characters.

Perhaps the troops under the command of these five people gathered here are indeed fewer in number than the Imperial fleet and Space Marine forces. But their role in the battle is very important.

"I was originally on a certain planet, but a month ago, I encountered a group of mercenary troops." The mechanical Magi spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, and the other four Imperial colleagues around him all shifted their attention.

Because in the empire, everyone knows it. The Magi of the Mechanic Sect are the ones who hate wasting their time the most, and they will never talk nonsense with people.

"These mercenaries are strange, I haven't seen them in equipment, and they have five warships. One of them was the butcher-class cruiser Indifferent and Ruthless. As the mechanical Magi said this, the other four people on the scene suddenly showed extremely surprised expressions.

Because the Butcher-class cruiser is an ultra-high-speed warship that the Empire can no longer produce, the reason is that after the indifference and ruthless battleship was decommissioned, it launched a mutiny and defected to the forces of Chaos. And blew up the casting world that produced Scartix coils for the butcher class, destroying the design template for the precious Scartix coils.

The Imperial Admiral gave the order, and for thousands of years, the Imperial fleet continued to hunt down the Indifferent and Ruthless for a long and merciless time, but it escaped these attacks unharmed.

Now the mechanical Magi said that it was a little strange that this legendary battleship, which was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Imperial Navy, would actually be in the hands of a group of mercenaries.

"Your Excellency the Magi, do you mean that these mercenaries belong to the forces of chaos or ....." Inquisitor Evelyn immediately asked nervously, the Inquisition was the most hated for the defection of humans who had defected to the forces of chaos.

"They don't belong to the forces of chaos, and the battleship is made of obvious signs of repair. These people should have forced their way onto the ship and captured the super-high-speed cruiser. I also saw the bodies of many of the Lunaris Wolf warbands who had defected to the slain. The mechanical Magi said something even more surprising again, and now everyone present was even more uneasy.

The Moon Shadow Wolf Warband was one of the interstellar warbands that originally belonged to the Empire, and it was needless to say how powerful it was. However, now the Magi of the Mechanics said that a group of mercenaries not only grabbed the cruiser controlled by the Chaos forces, but also killed a lot of Chaos Space Marines.

This kind of thing sounds like a group of children beating adults with machetes with sticks, it's just unbelievable.

However, none of the people present would doubt the words of a mechanical Magi, these tentacle monsters with the Empire's high technology (each with four mechanical auxiliary arms that look like the tentacles of an octopus) are not casual talkers.

"If these mercenaries really rely on their own strength to capture the cruiser and eliminate those traitors, then their actions can already be rewarded by the empire." Commissar Murphy said with a serious face, the Imperial Army spared no effort to hunt down traitors.

But the renegade of the Star Marines is too strong in combat. Ordinary forces are no match for each other at all, and even more so among cruisers with narrow terrain.

If the combat effectiveness of these mercenaries is indeed strong, then Commissar Murphy does not mind using the power in his hands to directly integrate these people into the sequence of the Imperial Army.

Now in the face of the attack of the Chaos Army, the Imperial Army, which had been caught off guard before, was in urgent need of replenishment of the sick. Any force with objective combat effectiveness, the political commissar of the imperial army will be interested.

"Your Excellency the Magi, what happened to these mercenaries after they met you?" Kenan, the Grey Knight, looked at the mechanical sage and asked, knowing that there must be a reason why the other party suddenly brought up this matter.

Sure enough, the mechanical sage used his mask-covered eyes to look around at these Imperial colleagues before continuing to speak in a hoarse tone: "These mercenaries mentioned a special piece of news, they found a piece of information after attacking and capturing the cruiser. It is said that in the midst of the chaos army, a huge warship has appeared, and its power can easily tear apart a planet. ”

"One battleship destroys a planet, such a thing is a fool's dream." Inquisitor Evelyn said without hesitation, after all, in so many years of fighting, there has never been a weapon capable of destroying the planet. If there really were such weapons, I am afraid that the forces of chaos would have launched a full-scale attack on the empire long ago.

Evelyn's words were echoed by her own representatives, and perhaps a fleet could turn a planet into a desolate ruined planet. But the complete destruction of a planet is simply not possible at present.

Seeing that everyone didn't quite believe their words, the mechanical Magi didn't argue anything, but spoke again: "Regardless of whether the information obtained by these mercenaries is true or not. We should also pay attention to it.

I don't know how long this subspace storm will last, but we will have to rely on the military strength of a large star region to fight against the chaos army. ”

"Excuse me, where did those mercenaries go after that?" Inquisitor Evelyn asked, she was now a little eager to see what was different about the mercenaries who were able to grab the cruiser and defeat the Chaos Space Marines.

"After making contact with my warship, they left the planet and went on a hunt for demons elsewhere. But they said they would come here for a loot auction. The mechanical Magi spoke unhurriedly, and when the colleagues heard these words, they immediately did not speak again, but fell silent, apparently with their own little calculations.

In fact, there is one more thing that the Magi of the Mechanics did not tell everyone, and that is that he suspects that the mercenary leader named Altaïr is likely to be a former Mechanic.

Because when the Magi met with each other, he found out sharply. The guards around the other party are very similar to the mechanic cathars and the Intelligent Control Legion, but their appearance is not the same.

With such a discovery, of course, this Magi of the Mechanic Sect would not go around talking nonsense. If the other party is really a person who was originally mechanical, then it is possible that you will be able to communicate data with the other party.

At this time, suddenly a series of exclamations sounded in the hall on the first floor, and the sound was so loud. It was even spread to the conference room on the third floor, so that everyone present couldn't help but look at each other. What the hell did these mercenaries see, and they became so excited.

Soon these people in the meeting did not have to guess anymore, because a Tribunal soldier walked in after knocking on the door, and then saluted everyone before he spoke: "A group of mercenaries just came outside, and they brought more than a dozen sets of power armor worn by the renegade Space Marines to the auction. The crowd below was already very excited. ”
