The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Facing Sosi's questioning, the fortress master's face flushed red, and he remained silent.

He didn't even understand how Sosi had seen through this. After analyzing with the two alien inquisitors, they believed that the military strength of the Grand Diocese was too weak, the organizational skills of the personnel were poor, and there were no high-value facilities to defend. It was impossible to defend against this Tyranid force, and it was not worth defending. Therefore, their plan was only one—to jointly apply to Terra for a large-scale extermination order to exterminate the entire Grand Diocese. This was the most economical and practical method.

"How can shameless and foolish people like you call themselves sons of Dorn?"

Saying that, Sosi reached out, grabbed the shoulder armor of Vedrian Sino, which bore the mark of the Black Templars, and tore it off, directly tearing it from the armor.

"Get out, get out of my sight. If you are not convinced, go and summon your kill team, and we will have a real fight! Also, all the battle brothers previously summoned from the Alliance of Suffering must be returned to us!"

After saying that, Sosi turned around abruptly and threw Vedrian Sino out. He flew dozens of meters and finally the fortress master of the Deathwatch smashed into the gate, directly breaking it open and landing outside, causing a burst of exclamations.

Other Deathwatch members also ran out one after another. The last to leave was Nurus, who cast a meaningful glance at Sosi before striding out of the church.

"Chapter Master Sosi, I cannot understand your behavior!"

But the two inquisitors did not leave. Skaman Havas was still "arguing on principle."

"This is the normal procedure of the Inquisition. Your actions not only damage your reputation but also damage the relationship between the Astartes. You humiliate a Deathwatch fortress master in this way, which is neither reasonable nor justifiable. Isn't brotherhood the most important thing among the Astartes? Fortress Master Vedrian even visited you, so why did you suddenly turn against him? Even if you don't agree with some of his statements, it shouldn't lead to a fight."

"Inquisitor, it is precisely because he visited me that I am like this. I gave him enough respect, and the Alliance of Suffering also gave him enough respect, but his performance can be described as the farmer and the snake. If he still had a trace of Astartes dignity, he should not have participated in this matter. Unfortunately, he doesn't. He not only has no dignity but also no ability to distinguish right from wrong, so I can only use this method to make him sober up."

Another inquisitor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Chapter Master Sosi, what do you mean by this? What do you mean he shouldn't participate in this matter? Fortress Master Vedrian was summoned by us. The Ordo Xenos has the right to examine everything related to aliens, regardless of his identity. I hope you don't forget the fact that the Astartes are also subject to the supervision of the Inquisition. This is our power! Rejecting this power means rebellion!"

Sosi smiled slightly, walked past the two inquisitors, and then looked up at the towering golden Emperor statue.

"Indeed, everything is as He wills."

"What?"

Sosi turned around, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Dueling among the Astartes is a tradition. We are used to resolving disputes with violence. If you think it is inappropriate, go to the High Lords and change it to illegal. As for the matter of the Malakim brothers, you have said so much, where is the evidence?"

"Hmm?"

The two inquisitors frowned at the same time, and Sosi stretched out his hand.

"Where is the evidence? You said he was involved with the Eldar, and that Captain Juarez cooperated with the Eldar, where is the evidence?"

"These are accusations from the priests who were rescued by them. Do you doubt our investigative ability? Besides, if it weren't for the Eldar, how did the Lamenters escape from the Tyranids? So many eyes were watching, and Malakim himself admitted it. The evidence is irrefutable, Chapter Master Sosi, don't try to deny it."

"Ha, the Lamenters are the glorious sons of Sanguinius. Their strength is not something you mortals can fathom. They clearly fought their way out of the encirclement with all their might. The Malakim brothers were forced to admit it only because they were coerced and lured by you."

The two inquisitors were stunned. They had never seen anyone who could reverse black and white in the face of facts and tell lies with their eyes open. The key was that this person was an Astartes.

Skaman stepped forward and said in a very stern tone:

"Are you making fun of us? Witnesses and confessions are all there. Are you just pretending you didn't see anything?"

"Since you say there are witnesses, then please bring them here. I want to hear how the Lamenters cooperated with the Eldar."

Skaman immediately said a few words to the communicator on his collar, but in less than half a minute, an attendant hurriedly ran into the church and handed a data slate to the inquisitor with a pale face.

The two inquisitors took one look, and their faces turned ashen. After a long while, Skaman pointed at Sosi with a trembling hand.

"Youyou dare!"

On the data slate were hundreds of bloody corpses, hung upside down on blood-stained angel statues, their skin peeled off. The only other color was the two pale eyeballs in the eyeless sockets and the white teeth in the lipless mouths. Blood gathered in a pool on the ground, surrounded by a large group of figures wearing cardinal robes kneeling on the ground and trembling, and standing behind them were Space Marines wearing silver-gray armor with blood-stained hands.

Several "complete" priests held paper and said tremblingly to the camera:

"Wewe admit that we.slandered the Lamenters and Malakim.ChapterMaster.repentto the Emperorrepent"

Before they could finish speaking, a roaring chain glaive chopped down, splitting them in two from the middle in a brief scream. The flesh and blood directly smeared the lens into a dirty crimson.

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Sosi pretended to walk to the inquisitor's side and glanced at the data slate, then lightly patted his head.

"Oh dear, Inquisitor, why didn't you tell me earlier that these were your witnesses? When we first arrived on the planet, we received a tip that a group of gene stealers had secretly infiltrated the cardinal world. I retrieved the recent visit records and found that the origins of these people were very suspicious. Their original planet had a gene stealer riot and a Tyranid invasion. They were definitely the most suspicious, so I sent warriors to arrest them for interrogation. Alas, these young men, they didn't know how to control their strength and made people like this. I will reprimand them another day."

"This is simply killing people to silence them!"

Skaman was trembling with anger. He had been an inquisitor for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a cunning Space Marine. But he also realized that he had been negligent and had not strengthened the protection of the witnesses because he had not expected Sosi to be like this at the beginning.

Sosi spread his hands helplessly.

"How can you blame me for this? Isn't it right to investigate gene stealers? Do you think it is impossible for them to hide gene stealers? And look, they themselves admitted that they framed the Malakim brothers and the Lamenters."

"The investigation is also ours! You don't have this power! You are forcing a confession! We will never recognize this retraction!"

"Why not?"

Sosi opened his arms and took two steps back.

"The supreme commander of a newly established war zone of the Empire, in the absence of an appointment from Terra, is preferentially held by the local chief executive, followed by the Astartes Chapter Master, and then the local Astra Militarum supreme commander, but Patriarch Ignatius II is a cleric. According to the Taming Edict, he cannot serve as the supreme military commander of the war zone. Therefore, the supreme commander of the Sancta-Kasparren war zone must be an Astartes Chapter Master."

Sosi turned around and looked at the other three Chapter Masters, who immediately said:

"We jointly nominate Chapter Master Sosi Aleksey as the supreme commander of the war zone."

Sosi turned back with a smile and said:

"So, as the supreme commander of the war zone, I have the power to investigate anyone in the war zone, of course, not including the two of you. After all, you are outside the law. This is the privilege granted to you by the Throne."
