Chapter 12 Representations
The old priest approached the captain and whispered a word. Although the distance was a little far, I still heard it lightly, "More than three hundred years ago, there was a great rebellion in the Hazy Star Field, and that was one of the warships that participated in the rebellion. It was later recaptured, and its name was changed to the current heretic redemption, but it was never restored, and the navy refused to return it to the sequence, so it was sold to the wandering ronin. ”
Sylvia sneered, "A mere merchant who still wants to command the glorious Imperial Navy? ”
That's a bit of an exaggeration. Those who dare and have the ability to sail through the vast universe are by no means small characters, and the fact that they can own a warship proves that the other party is indeed not small. Although there is no overt authority, many businessmen have a long history, some can even trace the emperor's time, and the power they control is even larger, and some even have influence in the imperial senate. Since the other party can buy a warship, it must not be too difficult for the top brass of the navy to give an order to a transport ship. Of course, it's still not right to give a direct order, and it's not right to be political.
It was still a message to everyone: "Melved Picker, the important supplies that your ship is carrying to Melved are related to the stability of the Melved Star Zone, and there is no room for failure. Please turn immediately. ”
Sylvia restrained her arrogance, but she was still tough, "I don't know what kind of relationship you know about our identity, but I only accept orders from the Navy Department, so shut up for me!" ”
There was a moment of silence, as if the man had made up his mind. Then, the psychic could summon again, "Edrius, part of the Imperial Inquisition, authorized to dispatch administrative and military affairs in the Melved Sector. You can verify my identity after entering the port. ”
I was taken aback, it's not small! Any of the three courts has the right to bypass the Ministry of Military Affairs and directly demand the cooperation of the military. In front of the Inquisitor, even the Planetary Governor Warzone Commander has to be obedient.
However, the young major here is neither a planetary governor nor a theater commander. She didn't even reply again, instead grabbing the communicator and broadcasting to the ship, "Chaos is messing with our minds with evil sorcery. Please don't believe it. Later, we'll cut off their heads and drain their blood! ”
Therefore, it is taboo to skip the level to convey instructions. It's okay for the theater commander to overstep the order officers, but the inquisitor wants to meddle in the military......
Luckily, I don't seem to have had any direct dealings with the court. I just heard that a certain company that had a little errand in the process of cooperating with the court completely disappeared, and the officers and soldiers, armaments, garrisons, numbers, and archives completely disappeared without a trace, leaving only one legend......
It is conceivable that even if this battle is won, Sylvia will not be able to get any combat merits, and it will be good if she is not further punished. In front of the court, who dares to protect the short?
I'm a little worried, but at the same time I'm a little glad that I'm not the top person here.
The power of the psionic energy began to recede, and it no longer patrolled the entire bridge. I felt like he had realized that speaking to everyone was a wrong choice and was starting to focus on convincing one person.
Professional limitations, I can't track his focus, I can only estimate by looking at people's expressions. The first to be found was naturally our major captain, and although she was still concentrating on the helm as if nothing had happened, her face was already extremely pale. She clenched her teeth, the chewing muscles on both sides of her cheeks bulged high, and occasionally squirmed her lips to herself, as if she needed to vent her belly, but she was afraid of affecting others.
They exchanged ideas for a long time, and it was clear that the negotiations were still unsuccessful. The second person to be found was the old priest sitting next to me.
There was no time for further negotiations, and the old priest scolded directly at the sky, "You coward! Traitor! Lackeys of Chaos! Moths of the Empire! The pig of the corpse vegetarian meal! Where do you have the right to order me on behalf of the Holy See?! Ever since Lao Tzu was thirty years old, he offended the bishop and was sent to this hellish place, fifty years, half a century, no one listened to me, and I have been silent for fifty years! Now that I've finally been given a chance to be loyal to the Emperor, how dare you convince me to escape?! You...... Wait, wait until I've purified those demons, and then I'll go back and destroy you too!" Wow, ah, ah, the blood sacrifice emperor! The skull is dedicated to the Golden Throne!! cough cough ......"...,
The old man's white hair stood on end, and his momentum was like a warrior returning from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain. But after all, I'm old, and I'm a little out of breath when I move. I hurriedly reached over and gave him a thump on the back, and by the way, I picked up the liquor at my feet and poured him a few sips to calm him down.
Faintly, I also understand why he was exiled here, this thing is a heretic in a state religion, and what he shouted was obviously the idea of worshipping the death religion. The empire is already very magnanimous enough to tolerate these madmen, how can it allow them to spread their doctrines at will.
Next, it was the turn of the highest-ranking ...... on the whole ship That is, myself.
"Lieutenant Colonel Ilshan......"
Without waiting for him to say anything, I immediately grabbed the white, "If you have access to my files, you should know that I am under special care, and no vehicle shall be allowed to be driven by me." Do you think I have what it takes to drive the boat away? ”
"No, I know, if you are willing to do anything, you will be able to figure it out. Isn't it, big brother? ”
Hey, since when did the Inquisition become so polite? It's always been people who call them bosses.
"I'm Add, long time no see. Please help me. ”
I was stunned, it was like an earthquake cannonball falling next to me.
Add is a very common name in the Empire, and I have seen at least eight hundred of Eddie in my fifteen years in the army. However, as a psyker, there is only one Eddie who can call me big brother.
How could it be him? That skinny little kid with a big head like bean sprouts, who couldn't live without me, has grown into a judge at the pinnacle of the empire's power after twenty years? In contrast, although I am at the top of the combat power, I am still at the bottom of the power of a small lieutenant colonel, and my life is really hard!
I can't blame the empire for my hard work, who made my loyalty test score so low. A few points lower, and I might be dragged to fuel the Torch.
Edilius, a noble High Gothic name, was it his real name or a later name......
"Are you okay?" After hesitating for a long time, I only gave this one reply.
"This ...... Alas......" he often sighed, as if life was harder than mine, "the judge can't say anything about these days...... By the way, Awei is also here, and she is now the inquisitor of the Demon Inquisition. ”
You're so disgusting to me, aren't you?
However, in any case, many of our trios on the black ship gathered in this starry sky.
"What's wrong?" The old man next to me poked me and woke me up from the communication of consciousness, "He found you again?" Can't make up your mind? That's right, young people have a great future, and it's a lifelong thing to stand in the wrong line, unlike me who has no scruples about being an old bone. ”
At this time, the old man's eyes were full of clarity that penetrated people's hearts and worlds, and there was still a little bit of fanaticism from a moment ago. This old guy is so deep......
My gut told me that this was someone I could trust. Trust, what a luxury word...... Ever since I got off the black ship and set foot on Holy Terra, I have been completely out of touch with the word.
"He's my friend." I'll be honest.
The old man pondered for a while and said, "Think twice in case of trouble, do what you can, the loser has no right to justify, and the winner is not condemned." ”
