Chapter 223: The Shadow of the Court of Heresies

"Here I have to point out ......"

Hyde sighed, ready to explain that nothing had happened to him and Jessica. He knew that Frey was a little sad because of Jessica's presence the other day, although now Jessica and Frey had become intimate. But he knew that Frey's heart was actually very sensitive, and that this girl with a tortuous background was full of unspeakable affection for Hyde, and he didn't want any hidden misunderstandings.

"It's a lively place, General Chris, but I didn't expect you to be interested in the witch of Slaanesh. ”

Suddenly, a smiling voice interrupted Hyde's words, and a rider like red lightning appeared on their side. It was none other than the tall Inquisitor, Maria. Now she rode a tall war horse clad in red plate gold armor, and wore a long bayonet sword with a cage hand, and her plump chest jumped restlessly with the flaming rune breastplate.

"I'm with His Highness Hyde expressing our confidence in victory, my handsome Maria, is there anything wrong with that, or is it because you're jealous?"

Chris smiled and waved to Maria, the sixth champion of Midlandland seemed to have a very close relationship with this sexy and handsome beautiful inquisitor, and there was no taboo in laughing.

"Of course I don't have anything to be jealous of you, because your relationship with me hasn't reached that point yet. However, I would like to gently remind you that the Lord of the Heresy Court and his crowclaws have already arrived in the army from the imperial capital, so you should be cautious when joking in public in the future!"

Maria leaned over with a relaxed face, threw a flying kiss at Chris and Hyde, and then lowered her voice and whispered a reminder. The voice seemed to have magical power, and Hyde noticed that Chris's face quickly darkened, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword twitched nervously.

"That damn old fellow!"

Chris let out a low curse, and it could be seen that he was full of dissatisfaction with the "Lord of the Heresy Court", and the air seemed to cool down instantly, but immediately, the bearded Wing Captain General returned to normal, and answered Maria, who was already walking side by side with him, in a personable voice.

"I appreciate your kindness, but you should understand the rules of the Midlandan warriors. You know the past of the Heresy and Midland, don't you?"

"Of course I understand the unpleasant past, but it is also necessary to remain united before the big war, and not to let the memories of decades ago affect the big picture. Whatever one may say, we should understand what we are going to face. ”

Maria took off her wide-brimmed hat with colorful feathers and flapped it twice like a fan, looking like she didn't care. After explaining this unclear question, she rode away like lightning, and soon only a scarlet back remained.

"Lord Chris, what does Miss Inquisitor mean, and who is the Lord of the Heresy Court, and what is the past of the Heresy Court and Midland?"

Hyde couldn't help but ask questions, and he felt that Chris's excitement at that moment was anything but simple.

"Does she mean that? Probably telling us that a provocative old pervert and his little pervert with a hound-like nose came to the army, and our jokes couldn't be so pleasant. Well, that's all, Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. ”

The bearded General Kuiwei shrugged his shoulders and replied to Hyde in a relaxed tone, but Hyde noticed that his expression was a little unnatural, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

"Do you mean some inquisitor from the Inquisition Tribunal's headquarters? I think that is a bit of a misnomer?"

Hyde's voice tinged with confusion. He had a general knowledge of some of the problems of the Imperial Inquisition, some of which he had known from previous conversations with Maria, and some of which Marshall and Frey had told him. The Imperial Inquisition is divided into the Heresy Tribunal, which deals with the chaos problem, the Rat Extermination Tribunal, which deals with the Nezumi Remnant, the Vampire Tribunal, which deals with vampire remnants and necromancers, the Beast Court, which deals with the Greenskins, Night Goblins, etc., the Dark Elf Tribunal, which deals with the Dark Elves issue, and the Sacred Academy, which is mainly responsible for research. Theoretically, these six institutions are equal, but among them, the Court of Insovention is said to be the most powerful existence, which is also the reason why Chaos is the most powerful enemy of the Empire.

"Well...... Actually, I'm referring to the head of the so-called heretical court, an old pervert...... Of course, we don't need to deal with him, and there is no need to take the initiative to cause unnecessary trouble, let's treat him as if he doesn't exist!"

After a brief moment of hesitation, General Chris replied simply, his expression becoming more and more strange. This deepened Hyde's doubts.

"I heard...... The president of the Inquisition, the Imperial Grand Inquisitor Ceuta, is said to be one of the strongest men in the Empire, so does he have any trouble with Midland?"

Frey suddenly interjected, her beautiful face full of hesitation, the black-haired girl had been silent for a long time, but now she couldn't help but speak.

"That's just some of the past...... Forget it, let's forget all this! Forget all the nasty perverts! I'll invite everyone to a feast of roast beef and wine at camp in the evening, and the chef of our second wing is a famous halfling chef, so it's necessary for us to take it easy before the decisive battle. ”

General Chris frowned, then quickly changed the subject, and patted Hyde on the shoulder, with an affectionate expression on his face. His majestic half-griffin immediately began to cry out for joy, as if it could fully understand its master's voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Chris. Let's explore some other questions. ”

Hyde's sanity made him suppress the doubts in his mind, and he could see that Chris was deliberately changing the subject. Although he was curious in his heart, this young man did not want to cause another dispute in front of everyone, there were too many things in the past, and it was not possible to sort them out one by one. But strangely, when Frey mentioned "Grand Inquisitor Ceuta", his heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't know why.

-----------------------------

While the small waves in the imperial army came to an end, a magnificent assembly was unfolding in the chaos camp dozens of miles away. More than 10,000 Chaos Elite soldiers lined up neatly in the square in front of the tent of the Slaanesh Palace, forming a perfect arc, with a solemn and cold aura, and from time to time let out a thunderous roar. Their halberds hung blood-stained skeletons, and their horned bronze helmets and pure gold swords glistened in the bright sunlight.

"Alatan, the armored cavalry warrior of the Kugans, you have personally killed three knights and nine gunners of the False God Cult outside the city of Greginor, nailed two enemy heavy cannons, and captured a banner of the Puppet Emperor Legion, losing a precious eye in the process. I hereby give you this runic helmet of brass and pure gold as a reward for your courage in your service to the Most High God. ”

A sweet, magnetic voice sounded softly on the altar in the center of the square, and Lostali erected her beautiful body from the ivory and pure gold throne, and gently waved her golden bracelet-clad hand in motion. Almost at the same time, two Chaos Dancers, who were almost naked, decorated only in key parts with intricate gold and silver chains and gemstone pendants, handed a tray to the Chaos Warriors who were kneeling on one knee in front of the altar, their giant horned helmets covered in eerie runes that were particularly gorgeous against their white skin.
