Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 185 03.0184: ‘The Inquisitor Has Decided’

The return journey of the Thunder Eagle was relatively smooth, and there were no damn void monsters to intercept it.

In addition, the Indefatigable was almost running at full speed and sailing forward at full speed.

Captain Peru paid close attention to the movements of the interception fleets.

Two of the five interception fleets had battleships, namely the Invincible-class high-speed battleships led by General Alexander Hood’s brother, Vice Admiral Samuel Hood, and the Apocalypse-class battleships led by veteran Admiral Rodney.

But even for the Invincible-class high-speed battleships, the speed is slightly slower than that of the cruisers, not to mention the Apocalypse-class battleships.

In addition to Commodore Peru’s Indefatigable battle group, the only one who could arrive first was the pure cruiser squadron commanded by Captain Lord Elphinstone.

The captain also threw out all the shark assault boats in the fleet to launch a one-time assault.

Everyone was desperate to rescue the Retribution-class battleship, a vital asset of the Imperial Navy.

To date, the entire Gothic Fleet has only three Retribution-class battleships, one is Cardinal Bolas, one is Blood Eagle, and one is Sacred Will.

These three ships are over a thousand years old and have participated in the Gothic War. They are the well-deserved flagships of the Gothic Fleet.

If the Sacred Will is lost, it will not only cause great losses to the Imperial Navy, but also make the Gothic Fleet nailed to the pillar of shame and never turn over.

The Thunder Eagle gunboat stopped at the docking station of the Indefatigable.

Horatio, Farida and a group of Blood Angels rushed to the command bridge.

"Sir, the documents are back." Horatio saluted the Commodore.

"God Emperor! Thank God." The Commodore was sweating profusely: "How is Vice Admiral Hood?"

"We can barely maintain the situation, sir, we have to speed up."

Horatio reported with a sullen face: "In addition, I think this mutiny is not a rebellion of the sailors themselves."

"Why do you say that?" Horatio's words aroused the sensitivity of the former Inquisition attendant.

"There is no sign of collusion in the plans of these mutineers, and their consciousness is also very strange.

The whites of their eyes are full of bloodshot, and there is white foam at the corners of their mouths. They look like they are having an epileptic seizure. Even if they are injured, they are still attacking desperately."

Commodore Peru carefully studied Horatio's report.

"You mean, this mutiny was caused by a cult? It usurped the rationality of these sailors?"

Commodore Peru has traveled in the star sea for half his life, and at the same time, he has seen many strange and unimaginable things with his friend, the Inquisitor.

So he will not directly deny anything that has not been clearly investigated and falsified.

"I think so, Sir Commodore. When I escaped from the cult's lair with Miss Hood, the enemies who rushed over also had the same symptoms."

"Then the document in your hand will be very important."

Commodore Peru used a neural plug to open the adamantium safe next to the throne, which only he had the right to open.

It was filled with top-secret documents of the Fleet Security Committee, allowing Commodore Peru to handle some confidential matters when sailing.

Horatio put the documents in and locked it himself.

"No one is allowed to approach this adamantium safe before permission!" The Commodore ordered the battleship guards around him.

"Yes!"

"Before returning to Abyss Port, please allow us to guard it together. Our Blood Angels will assist the Imperial Navy in thoroughly investigating this matter." The deputy captain of the Blood Angels said to Commodore Peru.

Just now, Captain Afir got the approval of the Chapter Master Dante to stay in Abyss Port for a period of time to help the Imperial Navy resolve this conspiracy.

It's good to repay the Gothic Fleet for helping the Blood Angels kill their enemies.

And under the negotiation of Captain Afir.

It is reported that the Ultramarines and Salamanders also sent the nearest units to the Abyss Port to receive the two important battle brothers rescued by the Blood Angels.

After some time, when the fleets of the two Space Marine mother groups arrive, they will naturally find out how serious the chaos is facing the Abyss Port now.

But as to whether they are willing to help, it is unknown.

After all, the Space Marines, especially the mother group, are always busy. Their mission sequence is already full, and there are countless battlefields in the galaxy that need their support.

Unless it is a high priority matter, they will not intervene in the water-breaking affairs in the internal affairs of the Empire.

"Mr. Horatio, Miss Hood, you can rest first. Leave the rest to us." Commodore Peru said to the two young people.

Then he looked at Farida and said earnestly: "Your father and I have been close friends for more than 20 years. I will do my best, don't worry."

Farida pursed her lips and saluted the captain solemnly.

"I want to stay on the bridge," she said. "I can't rest in this situation."

"I agree, Your Excellency. I'll stay on the bridge with her." Horatio knew that without him, the officers on the bridge would soon vomit because of Farida's untouchable characteristics.

"If you want, please go ahead." The Commodore extended his hand and made a gesture of please go ahead, then said to Horatio:

"By the way, Mr. Horatio, tomorrow there will be an Inquisitor who has just arrived at Abyss Port and will summon you."

"Inquisitor? Me?" Horatio's hair stood up instantly when he heard the word "Inquisitor".

Having used the supreme power of the empire, he knew the horror of its power and benefits.

Even Farida looked at each other in astonishment, and her worries deepened.

Everyone knew that something had happened when the Inquisitor called him to the door. It was a big deal.

"Relax, the Inquisitor summoned you only because you are a servant of the Inquisition. He needs to get some information from you and assign you a very important task."

Horatio swallowed his throat and smiled bitterly, "So that's the case. No problem."

After Brigadier General Peru stated his intention, Horatio was a little relieved, but only a little.

After all, the composition of the Inquisitors is very complicated. They are more or less extremely paranoid in some aspects, and regard it as a criterion and the only right way to save the empire, and keep going.

Even if they eventually pay their own lives for it, or even hundreds of millions of lives as the price of proving the truth in their hearts.

This is also destined. The Inquisition is destined to be a place full of crazy people. It is not a good choice to get too close to them.

However, as the "Agent of the Emperor" organization founded by Malcador, its authority can still help me solve a lot of troubles.

He helps me, I help him, and mutual use is the best solution.

Farida walked to the battle center below, looking at the huge bulletproof stained glass window in front of the bridge and the dark and cold void outside. The worry about her father gradually penetrated her heart like ice.

Horatio sighed, stood beside her, and looked at the deep black void with her.

"Your father will be fine. Everyone is trying to prevent things from developing to the worst."

At the moment, Horatio can only comfort him like this.

"... Horatio." Farida shouted softly, weakly and listlessly.

"Hmm?"

"Do you believe in the prophecy?"
