MTL - Warhammer Inquisitor-Chapter 552 Lion Rise: The Hidden Secret

  Chapter 552 The Rise of the Lion King: The Hidden Secret

The Xinghe-class transport ship Nibelungen is sailing in the sea of ​​stars. It is one of the largest first-class transport ships in the empire. With its huge cabin and modularly assembled hull, it has been the mainstay of the empire's shipping power all year round. In addition, it has great firepower.

As I said, this type of transport ship can be quickly and modularly assembled on the hull. In addition to the usual transportation of external cargo compartments, the bays on both sides can also be added with a fire deck, which in turn becomes a simple , but a huge armed cargo ship.

This makes the Xinghe-class transport ship highly sought after by inter-galactic rogue traders and the Imperial Navy transport fleet. Its huge hull can not only carry cargo far beyond conventional civilian cargo ships, but also has enough firepower. Responds to most pirate raids.

   And it is precisely because of this that the captain of this kind of transport ship often has to be a transport merchant and a naval battle captain. Fortunately, Captain Bardak is such a person.

He had served in the Imperial Navy for many years, first as a trainee officer, then as a first officer, then as a helmsman and captain, which gave him a wealth of experience, and he also had strict requirements on the sailors under him like the Imperial Navy. Brings the rigors of the Imperial Navy to her ship and takes pride in her accomplishments.

But even in any time in the past, Captain Bardak has never seen such a tranquility on the ship. The Imperial Navy does emphasize Su Jing, but now, the atmosphere on the ship is simply dead silent. Even in the cargo hold, the sailors carrying the cargo They all kept their mouths shut, without the usual whining, shouting and cursing over the breakfast they had this morning.

There is silence here, even the roar of the machinery is surprisingly quiet, so that when Bardak walks through the cargo deck, he can only hear his own panting. The whole ship is like the ghost ship in the story. Secluded, and the cause of it all, lies ahead.

Today, Bardak’s ship is not only carrying a full warehouse of goods, but also two distinguished guests. It is not that he has transported dignitaries. As the largest transport ship in the empire, it is also the favorite travel of various imperial dignitaries, because of this Not only would they be able to carry the outrageous amount of luggage, but they could also bring a whole mansion of servants to serve them, and more importantly, it was safe to travel across the stars on a ship comparable to the firepower of a warship. Always a lot safer.

  But today, no, Bardak has never served such a guest before, and he couldn't even believe what happened before his eyes, because the people he transported were two space warriors.

Two burly supermen stood in front of the window of the cargo hold. It was a window built for mortals. Compared with their physiques, it looked extremely asymmetrical, but it also brought out their own tallness. The captain held the awe-inspiring Mind, cautiously came to the side of the giant.

"Honorable Space Marines, is there anything I can do for you?" The captain said obediently, the words were quite light, for fear that his tone would be too strong, which was completely different from his usual way of yelling at the sailors under his command , after all, he was speaking to a Space Marine, not the sailors on board.

"No, it's not necessary, Captain, it's enough for you to promise to drive us here." The golden giant's voice was deep and thick, with a sense of majesty without anger, and the captain took off his hat, "Can you help us both?" It is my honor to serve, if you need anything, just ask.”

   "Thank you, Captain, we don't need anything, let's go back to your post." "But my lord." "Compared with us, your crew needs you more." "As you ordered, my lord."

Another star warrior watched him leave. This is not the first person he has seen currying favor and flattery in front of a star warrior, and he probably won't be the last. Most mortals, apart from fear and awe , this is the only emotion left for the space fighters.

This made Bell very uncomfortable. He didn't like this feeling. It always made him feel that in the eyes of these people, the space fighters were another kind of nobles and lords, but just thinking about what kind of people the original nobles and lords were. , Bell is quite disgusted and disgusted, after all, he himself comes from such a family.

"Fortunately, our journey is coming to an end, if Helen's coordinates are correct." Bell looked at the awe-inspiring sailors, and turned his head to look at the Milky Way outside the window. He found peace during the long journey of the day, but in the past few days, he did have a lot of time to calm down and think about many things.

The same is true for another giant. The burly Captain Eisenstein turned his head and scanned the starry sky around him with a solemn and solemn face. "Did you find anything?" "What do you mean? Captain." Love Sunstein's sudden question made Bell feel a little baffled, but the former's expression clearly wasn't joking.

"This is a journey, the task given to you by the marshal is to observe and see through the truth under the disguise." Eisenstein said coldly, "The marshal is suspecting something, that's why he sent us here, you figure out what he doubts Did you? Of us, you alone have been one of the longest followers of the Field Marshal, and you understand his suspicions."

Bell was silent for a moment, he did think a lot, then nodded, "Partly, I'm not sure if that's the case, but" "But what?" Eisenstein asked, and Bell raised his head after a moment of contemplation, with sharp eyes, " He's doubting the true intentions of the Dark Angels."

Eisenstein turned silently and glanced at Bell, then glanced at the crew members who were far away behind him with his peripheral vision, then turned and said, "What did you find? Brother." "There are indeed some things, very strange things. "

Bell said as he raised the data board that he had always carried with him, "He has checked the recent reports on the Dark Angels in the past few days and found that they have been looking for pirates, and since they arrived at Damocles Bay, they have invested everything they have at hand. The troops are encircling and suppressing the pirates."

"Is there any problem with this? Brother." "Yes, and it's a big problem. We are space fighters, Captain. You know that pirates can't be wiped out at all. They are like weeds. Once they are mowed, they will grow again. Bo, it is useless to eliminate pirates, it will only restrain the troops, restrain, the strength of a battle group?"

Eisenstein frowned slightly, and Ke Bell continued, the latter nodded and took a picture of the data board, "You and I are both space warriors, and we all know the value of the strength of space soldiers. When we are engaged in a war, we will also There are several other galaxies waiting for our support, time is precious, and there are astronomical casualties and losses in a moment, we simply cannot afford to delay."

   Besides, space warriors hate aliens more than pirates, which even applies to people on the rebel side, but why, the Tau are clearly on Tyrell Munda, but the Dark Angels turn a blind eye.

"But the Dark Angels, they put all their energy into chasing and killing pirates here?" Bell frowned and pointed to the starry sky outside, "No, none of this makes sense, it doesn't make sense at all, it doesn't make sense at all. The precious strength of a whole chapter is spent on such laborious endeavors, unless."

"What they are looking for is not pirates, but something or someone among the pirates." Eisenstein added, looking at Bell with stern eyes, and the latter also gave a sure nod in reply, "Correct, Captain, Your judgment is as sharp as ever." "Maybe so, but in the name of the Emperor's Eye, I don't know what they're looking for."

   Eisenstein frowned. As the son of Donne, he was never good at hiding his thoughts. They always said what they had, as frankly as a stone.

"Unfortunately, company commander, I don't know, but they must be hiding something. They don't want others to know what they are looking for, so they haven't made any contact with the planetary capital or the Star Forces." If Bell had Looking out the window thoughtfully, he frowned and thought.

"And this is exactly why the marshal sent you here, brother, he believes that your insight is superior to mine, and you can see those hidden secrets." Eisenstein admitted without hesitation, his face calm, It was as if he was just narrating an iron-clad fact, not about his own honor.

"You are serious, company commander, I am no better than any brother." Bell replied in a humble tone, but the company commander just shook his head meticulously, "Don't deny your talent and talent, brother, use it seriously Good them, in this way, you can truly serve the Emperor."

"I try my best to be the company commander, but I doubt whether the Dark Angels will be willing to face us honestly if they discover our current excavation." Bell tried hard to express his concerns in a more respectful way, but This is obviously unnecessary, because Eisenstein has already seen his true semantics.

The company commander nodded seriously, with a cold face, "I understand your worries, brother, in the name of Dorn, I will seal my heart and control my words, and no one will find out about this." "I believe so , company commander."

As Bell spoke, his face was suddenly illuminated by a ray of light. He turned his head and looked out the window, only to see a huge starship jumping out of the icy void. Cannons, tens of thousands of warships accompany it, like giant beasts in the star world.

Its appearance caused a commotion, the entire deck broke the silence, and there was a commotion. Eisenstein turned around and yelled that there was more than a commotion, and he found it at a glance, and looked at the bosun with the highest official position, "Ready to approach It, butt." "My lord, that is" "You don't need to know, inform the captain, we are here."

The boatswain nodded repeatedly, pushed away the sailors and ran quickly to the communication station, Eisenstein turned his head and looked at the huge monster outside the window, "In the name of the emperor, if the marshal wants us to discover the truth, then we will find it and bring it back."

Bell frowned at the huge rock, and suddenly thought of what Lancelot had told himself metaphorically, what he said, about the methods used by the Dark Angels to hide, "this It won't be a simple meeting of brothers, Captain."
