Chapter V: Open Trials

The robed villain, also known as the Watchman in the Dark.

They are small, robed humanoid creatures of mysterious origin.

It is said that long before the emperor descended on Caliban, the home planet of the Dark Angels, the robed villains lived here and waged a relentless battle against the planet's chaotic creations.

The robed villain has incredible power, it seems that it can be immune to any form of attack, usually comes and goes without a trace, and shuttles freely between the latitudes of reality and illusion, which sounds very dreamy (yì) fantasy (duān).

The Dark Angels have a special trust in these robed villains, and it is said that only those who have passed their test are qualified to serve as the Grand Mentor, and their recruits are also sternly told when they enlist that they must not hinder any action of the robed villains, and those who ignore the warnings will soon disappear from the world.

Although there is very little information about the robed villain, and Wei Mu didn't find anything in the black library, it is estimated that he was placed in the core area of the library by Xi Lego, and his current membership level is not enough to read, but there are two points of information that can be confirmed at present - they are the mortal enemies of chaos, and they have no conflict with humans.

On this condition, the standard anti-mixing good comrade.

And the reason why the robed villain helped Wei Mu suppress the anger of the dark angel was precisely to assess his ability to make trouble for Chaos.

Fortunately, the Dark Angels attached great importance to the opinion of the robed villain, otherwise in Wei Mu's case, he would have been killed eight hundred times by these demons full of secrets.

Although Wei Mu saved his life for the time being, if he wants to get out of the predicament completely, he still has to pass the next level.

The reason why Azrael is now holding such a public trial is most likely to justifiably kill Wei Mu when the little man in the robe has nothing to say.

Dare to write today that humans have taken the initiative to invade subspace, and tomorrow dare to write that the emperor climbed into the bed of Slaanesh.

How can a heresy like this, which arranges the Apocrypha at will, be a waste of air for an extra second, and become a boost to the Empire?

So it only took about half an hour for the open court of the Dark Angels to be formed.

Under the custody of recruit Moore, he was taken to the dock of the courtroom.

Looking at the past, this courtroom is still the same, except for the plaintiff and the onlookers are dark angels, other positions such as judges and juries are actually composed of mortals.

Didn't you say that the administrative efficiency of the empire was low, and my side had a court session before the language was even organized?

These secret men are definitely prepared.

However, Wei Mu did not panic at all.

He even deliberately showed his chest to the people present, and the word "loyalty" on it was particularly eye-catching.

As a result, the blood pressure of all the Dark Angels present soared, and even the mecharmies on their bodies were warned of danger.

"Silence!" The judge on the stage struck the hammer and motioned to the restless dark angels to calm down, "The plaintiff will start speaking first!" ”

So the dark angel who sat in the plaintiff's seat, Azrael, the keeper of truth, stood up: "There is no doubt that the defendant has committed a serious crime of heresy, and the book in my hand is the evidence, which is filled with a lot of blasphemous remarks. ”

The book in Azrael's hand was found in Vimu's house, and from a distance it looks like his early work, called "The Revival of the Empire".

"You may not understand how heretical the statements of this book are, but now I will read a small part of it."

The warband leader cleared his throat, and then read according to a passage from the book:

Finally, Robert Killeman made a decision.

He gathered the best psionics in the warband and performed that forbidden ritual.

Summon the spirits of the long-departed Guterra sages and seek wisdom and strength from them.

Emperor blessed, the ceremony was carried out very successfully.

A human spirit from the past was summoned to Killiman's side.

There is no doubt that the spirit was a mortal in his lifetime.

He was less than half the height of Killiman, a little senile, dressed in a black robe, hairless, and with a number of circular scars on the top, which looked like some kind of monk.

Killiman stared at the spirit, as if he wanted to see through the other party's identity directly.

The original body has knowledge that no one in the world can match, but at this moment, he doesn't know if he has really summoned the existence he wants, or if the guy in front of him is actually some kind of demon, and he is here to talk to him.

Killiman's eyes were like torches, and even the most courageous warrior would not dare to look directly at them.

But those who are called are at ease with it.

"From the Heroic Spirits of the past, I am Robert Killiman, Lord of the Ultramarines, Regent of the Human Empire, and the last loyal heir of Emperor Terra. Now, I command you to give your name. ”

The spirit was not intimidated by Killiman's cumbersome nickname and massive body, but smiled at the corners of his mouthβ€”a smile that Killyman had seen countless times, and that only revealed his ecstasy when the conspirators' attempts had succeeded.

"Yao Guangxiao, a poor monk, specially came here to give His Royal Highness the regent a white hat to wear."

......

"Come, come, please explain, what does it mean to put a white hat on the regent?"

Azrael asked sharply.

The king brought a white hat, isn't that what the emperor meant?

How perverse it is to write such a plot that clearly instigates the regent's rebellion!

The eyes of everyone present suddenly became hot, as if they were about to cut Wei Mu with a thousand knives.

Being stared at by so many hateful eyes, no matter how thick-skinned Wei Mu was, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Uh, this...... If I say that this is a great temptation from the outside world to highlight the noble sentiments of the Lord Regent, such a quibble...... No, it's an explanation, will you believe such an explanation? ”

He tried to say.

As a result, the next second, the sound of a loaded explosive gun rang out in the entire hall.

I believe you're a ghost, a damned heretic.

Seeing this, Wei Mu hurriedly shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, I have something to say!" ”

The judge presided over and said, "The defendant is invited to speak." ”

"You calm them down first, I'm a little stressed, is there a regular courtroom where the onlookers can threaten with guns? I protest against this! ”

At this moment, Azrael was the first to speak, "They're just taking care of the guns they carry with them, and as Space Marines, it's a perfectly reasonable move." ”

When the judge heard this, he immediately understood: "That's right, the protest is invalid, does the defendant have anything else to say?" ”

Wori, this is too shameless, is it so difficult to fight away?

Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Wei Mu had no choice but to forcibly hypnotize himself and treat the guys below as a group of turnips and cabbage.

The next part he was going to say was crucial, and it directly determined whether he would be offered by the dark angels as an uncle, or go to them to receive a peanut.

Wei Mu took a deep breath, tried to calm his mood, and then slowly spoke: "I want to defend myself, everything I do is to fight the invading enemy for the Empire. ”

"Back then, the Star God Fraudster could deceive the bottoms of the fearful of the dead, the laughing god Xi Lego could fool the Star God to kill each other, and the evil god Tzeentch could also make Scarbrand and Magnus two wise jumps back, which shows that information warfare is an extremely powerful weapon that can directly affect the entire battle situation."

"Although I am just a mediocre coder, I also know the word loyalty, even if I am misunderstood by the people I protect, discriminated against by my colleagues, and surrounded by the enemy, my generation will still give up who I am, and I will never retreat."

Wei Mu's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, exuding a heroic momentum of "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell", if it weren't for everyone present who listened to his anti-book before, I am afraid that this is a person with noble sentiments, a person who has detached from vulgar tastes.

To be a mere heretic, in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, to dare to speak out and claim loyalty in vain is simply a shameless desecration of this noble church and a serious slander against thousands of soldiers of the empire.

"I'll admit it, you're a good guy to talk to." Azrael looked at Wei Mu with an expressionless face, "But loyalty does not depend on words, but on facts, you kid said so much, how much did you actually contribute to the empire?" ”

"Uh, that's it......"

"Why, can't you make it up? If you can't make it up, go down as soon as possible, and you can choose a peanut you like. ”

"Who do you look down on? I'm a person who has done great things, but I'm just thinking about how to explain it so that you can understand what happened. ”

Wei Mu scratched his head in some trouble.

After all, he really pierced the sky at that time.
