We walked underground, and thanks to the Emperor, Ryan's method of keeping Johansen reporting on his location proved to work. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At least that's what happened from Echoman's account.

"Which way are we headed now? Where are the others? Ryan asked, looking down around a blasted steel drain.

"Ah, sir, don't be in a hurry, follow me, you'll know everything here soon." Echoman smiled mysteriously, then waved his hand, motioning for us to follow.

So Ryan didn't continue to ask, I thought about it and decided not to interfere with Ryan's command, after all, judging from the current situation, Ryan's subordinates and Ryan's trust relationship is okay, and there is no point in forcing Aikeman to explain at this time.

So I looked around and wanted to have a rough idea of where we were now.

On the manhole cover above our heads, the gunfire had faded away, but the violent explosion was still not happening, and it seemed that one side, mostly titanium, had withdrawn from the battlefield and was bombarding the orcs with artillery, but this did not affect our safety.

The underground space of the city of Salado was much smaller than the other much larger nests I'd seen many times, but there was little difference, black sewage flowing in the pipes, and the air smelled of cheese baked in the scorching sun for days. If it were my colleagues, maybe they would cover their mouths and noses in disgust and keep praying to the emperor to get them out of here, but I won't.

In fact, during the most glorious years of my life so far, climbing the sewers was a rare leisure time, which is quite similar to the situation I am in now.

We went around three or four intersections, then over a puddle of sewage, and finally came to a crevasse.

"Alright, sir, you can go down with me, the others had better wait here, it's not easy to walk here."

"You'd better take me with you." I say this, while objectively I believe in the loyalty of these people, but the importance of Ryan as a company commander at this time makes me have to be careful.

"Yes, you can, Lord Reverend, but the one down there, you may ......" Eckerman seemed to have a hard face.

"Don't worry about me, Private 1, I know exactly when to fight and when to repair."

Again, I stressed, and, no matter what he said, followed Ryan, who had already gone down, and squeezed sideways into the crack.

The crack was so narrow that it was actually quite difficult for me to get through it, so much so that I had to bend over it.

On the other side of the gap was a two-meter-high, three-meter-square cavern that appeared to be an abandoned bunker, with a crack in the wall leading to the outside.

But the most attention-grabbing thing is the man with the gun.

Perhaps that wasn't accurate, it was the Leitram with a sniper rifle longer than himself.

I've seen quite a few Lytlings, many Imperial officers who think these nezumi are filthy and corrupt in military discipline, of course, it seems to me that they are still good by nature, but because of their nature, they cannot be good warriors, and they are also unable to believe in the emperor wholeheartedly.

Moreover, in contrast to the apes, the nezumi tended not to welcome priests, on the contrary, the ones I knew tended to look rather disappointed when they saw me, and the apes tended to be overly excited when they saw me, and even cried like children.

In fact, Rentling is still very common among the Imperial Guard, thanks to their good cooking skills and excellent shooting skills.

And Datanya's 14th Division was also equipped with a lot, which can be seen from the military uniform he put on his body casually, and the hat he wore crookedly.

Now this guy is adjusting the scope, laughing like a madman and humming a vulgar ditty.

"Bump", accompanied by the green smoke, a gunshot rang out, and Lytlin's body shook violently, then he put the gun back, took out a rusty knife, carved a new mark on the already scratched butt, and then poured a hard sip of the wine he had placed beside him.

"Okay, Captain Fire Warrior." The nezumi exhaled contentedly, then looked back at Ryan and me.

"Ha, it looks like we have another priest, is that them?" The nezumi asked.

Echoman nodded, and then said a little awkwardly, "It's all outside, besides, you'd better not call him Lord Edward." ”

The nezumi shrugged, "Okay, then, follow me." ”

Then he walked up to me and reluctantly made a strange Aquila salute: "Hello, priest...... Excellency? My name is Bunsen, Bunsen Darkmud, and welcome to the underground Salado, our world. ”

I suppressed a smile, remembering my previous experience with my comrades in Lytelin, and bent down and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be restrained, just do it the way you like." ”

"Heh, you are indeed a lot better than I thought, after all, you are so good at fighting!" Bunsen said, and then handed the bottle over: "Take a sip?" ”

"Thanks, the Emperor needs me to stay awake." I politely refused.

Bunsen sighed: "No one is perfect! ”

To the Documentation Department of the Order of the Holy Hammer of the Imperial Inquisition

Reported from High Inquisitor of the Order of the Holy Hammer, Solaris Leon Ridas

Topic: The retirement of the Crusader acolyte Edward Handke and related reports:

Everyday contemplation of pain is an illusion of the flesh, and despair is an illusion of the mind

Edward Handke, a crusader acolyte from the religious world of Zelhard IV, has served with us for twenty years, and in view of his performance, I approve his discharge report and reinstate him to the order of the state religion.

There can be no doubt that Edward was an outstanding warrior, and his unwavering faith in the Emperor seems to me to be loyal even by our standards. During these twenty years of service, Edward's acolyte has faced all kinds of subspace demons with me countless times, but he has never wavered, and his hatred for the eternal enemies of humanity and his steadfastness in the face of temptation are exemplary.

However, Edward's acolyte has an excessive affection for the rest of the Empire's institutions and civilians, which makes him effectively vulnerable to the Emperor's enemies taking advantage of their weaknesses.

It is for this reason that I approve his return to the state religion, because I believe that his excessive mercy is not conducive to the inquisition's merciless punishment of the emperor's enemies.

Although Edward's acolyte was strong, given his excessive benevolence, we cannot rule out the possibility that he was implicitly heretical.

It is recommended to send them to the lower echelons of the Imperial Guard to make the most of their talents and avoid the germination of heretics.

Glory to the Emperor!
