"I'm skeptical of your choice, Octopus Monster, did your metal brain really consider the dangers of working with the Dark Remnant? Or are you completely insane? Commissar Konstantin put the Split-Man Saw, which was almost as tall as himself, on his shoulder, and then showed a rather disdainful expression, "Besides, is this guy really useful?" He fainted in pain, it was pointless, just a coward. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Actually, it's already his determination that he didn't die on the spot, Commissar, although I think a barbarian like you would be better off in the face of this kind of pain. As for the danger, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is not worth mentioning what kind of danger it is. Tia turned a deaf ear to Konstantin's taunts. Besides, I remember the Inquisitor telling me that you were in contact with the Dark Remnant, not long ago. ”

Konstantin's ugly face immediately twisted into a ball, as if he had heard something disgusting.

"He told you this? Why is this so? That's not a good story. Konstantin looked gloomy: "So, what does this have to do with you saving this dark remnant?" ”

"They have value in being used, especially if we have a common enemy." Father Tia looked around, then gestured slightly, and then a huge fort-star fighter trowel paced over, inevitably stained with some blood stains on their black armor shells, which would remain for a long time given the current lack of support.

"Garrison mode." Tia gave the order silently, and the tall soldier slowly opened the thug-type blaster cannon on his back, the chain of bullets attached to the cannon, and the electric light tongs on the heavy fist flashed.

After giving the battle order, several Automaton began to move to their alert positions, their silent eyes scanning the surrounding ruins, ready to participate in the battle at any time.

"And, to be honest, I'm personally interested in them. Remnants of the Golden Age...... How did they become what they are now, what were their motivations, and how did they leave the galaxy? And what kind of people are they who have not received the guidance of the Ten Thousand Machine God and the Emperor...... I was indeed curious, of course, and that was on the premise that I had no other tasks to complete. ”

"Purge the chaos, soul drinkers!" The Black-Armored Soul Drinker's Think-Tank—he called himself the Soul Saint, a rather stinking name—unleashed a psionic spell that enveloped a group of Chaos Space Marines who were shooting hard behind the wall, and then, like ice and snow exposed to the sun, they quickly dissolved into nothingness, dissolving into a pool of bubbling water before they even had time to scream.

Psionic tricks, and definitely subspace psionic powers, Inquisitor Antaris thought to himself, but his facial expression remained unchanged as he continued to silently watch the Space Marines who were simultaneously shouting "In the name of Setopia" and "Glory to the Emperor" raining deadly bullets on their opponents.

White arcs of light poured out of the muzzles of their guns, tearing through armor, flesh, and walls without hindrance.

Antaris knew the name of the weapon they used, the electromagnetic rifle, and as they called it, they had the same name as the weapons used by the tau aliens.

But the Tau Alien's orbital rifles, which require battery replacement after a single shot, are as little as ridiculous toys compared to the rifles that the Dark Remnant allure dispenses their troops with that can rain out deadly barrages capable of tearing apart Chimera personnel carriers and piercing power armor.

And that's not all.

Antaris, who had met the forces of the Dark Remnant for the second time, could now observe the difference between these Space Marines and the Imperial Astarte Monks more patiently.

First of all, the equipment, aside from the weapons, the armor and various ancillary equipment of the Dark Remnant Space Marines had little in common with the Astarte monks, and apart from retaining a few minor aesthetic commonalities, the Inquisitor instinctively sensed that the power armor was completely different from the double-headed eagle style he was familiar with, or any style before this.

And there are some more profound differences...... This point, even now, is difficult for Antaris to say.

But understanding all this is his most urgent task now.

The Emperor has given him authority, so he must work hard for the Emperor until the last moment, and now is the time for Antaris to use it.

Some of his peers see the Dark Remnant as a great rebel and want to get rid of them as soon as possible. Others also believe that they are the third choice given by the emperor to the empire, but the answer is never conclusive.

Like Antaris's own experience, he knew that if he wanted to know something, he had to experience them for himself.

If it weren't for his experience at Tantalus, he would have always seen the Imperial Guard as low-level cannon fodder, and without that experience, he would have lost a lot of knowledge that could have been significant.

So, in order to understand the Dark Remnant, he must first contact the Dark Remnant. Thankfully, while many details are still debated, the Dark Remnants are human, pure-blooded humans untainted by the subspace ghosts. There is no doubt about this, then, as long as it is indeed human, many things are much easier to do.

The wisdom and foresight of the original Warlord of the Guardian Shield were indeed somewhat unexpected by the Inquisitor, but it would be beneficial for the Inquisitor himself to be able to convince him with the least amount of effort.

For now, all he had to do was to remove all the traitors from the surface of Lendinium, and he had to observe the remnants of darkness...... Or rather, the Federation's Space Marines.

Any small clue will have a completely different meaning for Antaris.
