Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 271 04.0270: ‘Conclusive evidence’

In the void, a black ship without the ability to navigate in the subspace is slowly approaching the state religion pilgrimage ship with the word ‘Apocalypse’ engraved in High Gothic on the side of the hull.

“No need to communicate, forcibly board the ship for search.” Military Supervisor Melina sent combat instructions to her military supervisor committee members and loyal stormtroopers.

Then she looked at Farida: “Just follow us, and pay attention to safety no matter what.”

“Yes.” Farida saluted.

“Sergeant Valina.”

“Here!” The lady sergeant wearing a red beret saluted the military supervisor, and Melina reminded:

“I have read your resume. You are a very good veteran. The safety of Military Supervisor Hood will be left to you.”

“Yes, Your Excellency the Military Supervisor.”

“Let’s go, let’s put an end to all this.”

——

On the black ship of William Carter’s Inquisition.

The sound of various weapons exchanging fire resounded in the hull.

The people fighting against Inquisitor Ravenno were a large group of Inquisition agents who had been blessed and corrupted by the Lord of Change and had countless eyes and wings on their bodies.

A psychic lightning flew past Ravenno's shoulder. The Inquisitor focused his psychic energy and waved his right hand, which was emitting a faint blue light, to counter the corrupted Astropath in front of him. The psychic fluctuations instantly spread throughout the corridor.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a tall figure flashed behind him. It was a Thousand Sons Rubric Warrior who flashed to his side, and the ancient Prospero-style classic scimitar in his hand was swinging towards his chest.

Boom!

A loud sound of tearing the hull came from somewhere. Ravenno, who sensed something, jumped away from the spot in an emergency, pulling away dozens of meters. The Thousand Sons Rubric Warrior also teleported again, but the culprit came too fast.

A boarding hatch with the Ultramarines logo smashed through the corridor, hitting the re-transformed Thousand Sons Rubric Warrior on the spot. The hollow armor was flattened and buried deep in the twisted bulkhead.

"I! Cato Sicarius! I will put an end to these heretics!"

The tall warrior wearing a Roman cross and gold-blue armor rushed out of the boarding hatch. He fearlessly knocked away the oncoming Tzeentch monster and smoothly cut it in two with a backhand sword.

Facing the cluster attack of the other 9 Thousand Sons Rubric Warriors present.

Sicarius, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, predicted their predictions.

At the moment when the opponents flashed, he quickly raised his hand with amazing reaction speed and made a defensive posture in the direction of a blank space.

A Rubric Warrior who suddenly appeared hit Sicarius's broad blue iron hand with a thud, and the ancient blue-gold helmet was tightly grasped.

The helmet deformed instantly under the huge grip, and a wisp of dust scattered from it.

Many young and inexperienced battle brothers would be careless when facing these enemies because they successfully destroyed the enemy's head, and eventually lost their lives because of the sudden attack of the fallen "corpse".

They didn't know that these fallen heretics were no longer mortal, and the fatality of mortals was no longer a weakness for them.

But he was Cato Sicarius, the champion of the chapter, the greatest Space Marine in the greatest Ultramarines of the Empire. What heretic alien had he not killed?

Without waiting for the sudden attack of the headless Astartes, Sicarius twisted the Thousand Son's hand holding the scimitar, put his wrist and stabbed it into the breastplate, and the blade penetrated the enemy's entire torso.

Then he turned his hand and stabbed his Roman power sword flashing with red flames into the abdominal cavity, and then chopped the entire armor into pieces at an amazing speed invisible to the naked eye, and scattered it on the ground with countless scattered smoke and dust.

In the blink of an eye, two more Rubric Warriors were torn into pieces by Sicarius's skillful and extraordinary swordsmanship.

The remaining Rubric Warriors tried to attack with psychic power, but the hull of the Black Ship trembled violently again, interrupting their witchcraft tricks.

The red boarding pod smashed in from other parts of the Black Ship.

Captain Afir stepped down from it, and his battle brothers joined the raid of the Ultramarines on the side.

He looked at the man with the Inquisition Rose in front of him and said, "Inquisitor Ravenno, leave these heretics to us, and you can continue to investigate the whereabouts of the Holy Hammer Inquisitor."

"Thank you, Lord of the Watch."

The Inquisitor and his servants immediately rushed into the room with an ominous atmosphere and inscriptions on the outside.

When they threw the lighting stick into the room cautiously, when the light illuminated the interior, they found that there was nothing inside.

The cold demon-suppressing hook chain hung empty in the air, and the monster that should have been locked by it was gone.

Seeing this, Inquisitor Ravenno could not help but feel more worried. In a hurry, he could only grit his teeth and release his spiritual tentacles at the risk of being corrupted to explore the remaining spiritual energy here to locate its direction.

The previous images in this room flashed one after another. He saw a lot. It was too smooth. This seemed to be the truth that the demon host deliberately let him see.

[No wonder I can't see his thoughts... He thought he controlled the demon host, but he didn't know that he had already been part of the treacherous apostle's plan. ]

The last image emerged in his mind. Amidst the malicious giggles, he gradually saw a state religion pilgrimage ship from the vague shadows.

[He went to the pilgrimage ship? ]

"Everyone, pack up immediately! This is bait! The target is on the pilgrimage ship!"

——

The Storm Loyalists used melta bombs to break open the tightly closed docking armored door of the pilgrim ship.

An elite team broke into the interior of the pilgrim ship, which was full of scented candles and brilliant, and the walls were covered with embossed windows and paintings, which looked like the interior of a church.

After the electronic warfare team hacked into the display console, a retractable ladder automatically led to the Navy Discipline Security Ship docked not far away.

"According to the plan, we will split up. The first team will control the bridge, the second team will control the engine room, and the main force will follow me to the central church to check the ship carefully."

Military Supervisor Melina held a power sword in one hand and a grenade launcher in the other hand, and ordered others.

The discipline inspection team set off immediately.

After unloading the pilgrim group members from other planetary organizations, the interior of this giant ship, which is 21 kilometers long, 8 kilometers wide, and 13 kilometers high, is now empty and a little scary.

With this number of people, it is obviously not enough to search the entire ship, so Military Supervisor Melina plans to find key areas first.

As long as they can find any evidence of heresy, the Imperial Navy can officially intervene and dispatch a large number of troops, or even bombard the state religion pilgrimage ship.

Before the action, Military Supervisor Melina had already obtained the prototype design drawings of this type of pilgrimage ship from the relevant departments, and headed towards the central church area in accordance with the general direction.

This is a long process, but fortunately the internal transportation line can still be used.

Military Supervisor Melina took Farida and the stormtroopers to get off the car at the end of the horizontal axis of the internal rail car.

Along the way, except for some servitors without self-awareness, they did not see anyone.

"Stay alert."

They slowly walked into the central church and saw a sleeping girl lying on the pulpit.

There was a book at the feet of the statue of the angel of death next to the girl, and the cover of the book was inlaid with a pink gem.

The military supervisor and the stormtroopers approached the pulpit carefully.

After checking the girl's vital signs, a stormtrooper opened her eyelids and saw the iconic heterochromatic eyes. By comparing the data, they determined that this was the high-level psychic that the Gothic fleet was searching for.

"What should we do? Do we need to shoot her on the spot?" After confirming her identity, Sergeant Valina did not relax, but seemed to be more prepared for a great enemy, pointing the muzzle of the Hell Gun at the sleeping girl.

"Take her away. It is said that she is related to the vision at the Sanguinius Festival, and the Inquisition is very interested in this." Military Supervisor Melina hesitated for a moment and said, then began to check the surroundings.

"No trace of the target was found. There is only this girl and this book here."

"Military Supervisor Hood, please take the book. I think with this, this pilgrimage ship will not escape suspicion."

Military Supervisor Melina took pictures of the evidence one by one, and encrypted the photos with a new set of codes given to her by Inquisitor Ravenno, as well as a clever little object to assist encryption, and sent them to the Inquisitor.

"Yes."

As an untouchable, Farida wore psychic isolation gloves as a double insurance and picked up the heavy book that exuded strong psychic power.

The moment she put her hand on it, the ominous aura emanating from the book was also suppressed.

Just as Farida breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the book to prepare for collection, suddenly, the light around the tall statue of the angel of death above everyone's head began to distort.

"This is the fifth military supervisory bureau of Abyss Port..." A nauseating and piercing strange sound suddenly came from the communication of Melina Military Supervisor, and she threw away the microphone in her hand.

After she realized something was wrong, she looked at the huge statue of the angel of death. From its solemn head climbed a huge alien creature that was extremely twisted, with multiple deformed limbs and a shape that was completely inconsistent with physiology.

It let out a howl, and a purple psychic field visible to the naked eye instantly enveloped the entire central church, and purple mist filled with laughter also spread in the field.

But the purple mist was nowhere to be seen within the 330-meter radius of Farida. Once it touched this boundary, it dissipated into nothingness, and they could not break through this black barrier.

"Ah!!"

The stormtroopers who were guarding the church gate outside the barrier had no time to dodge. Their bodies swelled up instantly after being infected with the purple mist. The overgrown flesh and blood bulged out like little mice, and then burst into flowers of flesh and blood. Their limbs began to become twisted, deformed, and hyperplastic.

Their carapaces were stretched by the growing tumors, and finally a trace of human form disappeared, turning into deformed freaks that were similar to the twisted monster and did not conform to the laws of physics.

"God Emperor... What are these?" The sergeant was stunned to see his comrades who had turned into monsters in front of him, and muttered to himself with a dry throat. It is not difficult to imagine that the detachments sent to other locations may have also suffered misfortunes.

Gothic Navy Department in Abyss Port.

"Sir, we just received a communication request from the Fifth Military Supervisor, but the communication was instantly cut off after the other party revealed their identity." A captain who received the signal reported.

"Locate the coordinates." Admiral Lord Kataria frowned as he looked at the holographic screen in front of him.

"According to the last signal source, they are on a pilgrimage ship called the 'Apocalypse'."

"Notify the nearby ships participating in the fleet review to prepare for boarding."

"But... this behavior is already a blatant infringement of the assets of the state religion. If they are investigated later, they will not let it go..." a staff officer reminded.

"Since they sent us a message, and the communication was interrupted for no reason, it means there must be something wrong. Follow my orders! If anything goes wrong, I will be solely responsible." The female admiral said resolutely.

"Report, we have received a secret message from the Inquisition's Anti-foreign Order! A set of files sent in the secret message was successfully delivered using an experimental new code to break through the waste code interception, which contains the holographic images of the evidence collected by the Fifth Military Supervision Department in the pilgrimage ship."

"Project it immediately!"

Everyone immediately looked at the lit screen and saw an extremely suspicious and blasphemous scene.

"I think the evidence is now conclusive. Telegraph the entire fleet, first-level combat alert! Block all port and channel entrances and exits!"

"Yes! Urgently telegraph the Retribution-class battleship 'Cardinal Bolas', the Moon-class cruiser 'Lord Daros', the Gothic-class cruiser 'Drakenfirth', 'Emperor's Wrath', 'Rage of Justice'... Block the State Religion Pilgrim's Revelation' and the surrounding airspace!"

In the void, huge warships anchored around the starport slowly lit up huge and powerful plasma reactors, and the thrusters spewed out blue tail flames for several kilometers.

The macro cannon and the light spear tower turned, aiming the black muzzle at the pilgrimage ship named 'Apocalypse'.

The sirens in the ship sounded loudly, and tens of thousands of naval armed forces soldiers began to go to the arsenals of various blocks under the leadership of their respective non-commissioned officers and began to assemble armed forces.

——

Inside the pilgrimage ship 'Apocalypse'

Soon, the purple mist dissipated, and the black barrier in the mist disappeared with it.

"Shoot these monsters!" the female military supervisor ordered, and picked up the microphone again to try to call the outside world, but the terrifying laughter came from the microphone again.

"The communication has been invaded, retreat!" She made a prompt decision, picked up the unconscious girl, and under the cover of everyone, took Farida to leave through the side door.

Boom!

Before they ran a few steps, the side door was suddenly knocked open.

Several tall Space Marines with extremely depraved and heretical appearance blocked their way.

Farida gasped and looked at these Space Marines.

They were wearing full-body power armor that stretched out human skin and had already blended with flesh and blood. The surface was purple-pink with living things, and was decorated with Sky Eagle emblems painted with blasphemous words and patterns. The part that should have been the breathing grid had been integrated with the sound array grid, and the power backpacks behind them had vertical pipes like an organ.

Facing these abominable and terrifying inhuman monsters, she instinctively began to slowly retreat.

Sergeant Valina did not hesitate, stepped forward and fired first, a beam of high-energy laser hit the bodies of these ugly warriors, and everyone else opened fire.

The laser burned the decorations on the armor of these heretics, and the supernatural flesh and blood were hit, which also made them groan with strange satisfaction, but the firepower still forced these fallen warriors to disperse their formation, but they quickly surrounded the General Supervisor and the Stormtroopers with a faster and more powerful speed than mortals.

Several traitor space marines surrounded this search force of only dozens of people.

But these traitor heretics did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, except to block them when they tried to break through, as if waiting for a good show to begin.

The sound of the grenade guns and hell guns firing resounded in the central church, and the staggered flames flew across.

"Go the other way!" Facing the crisis of being surrounded, the female military supervisor held the unconscious girl in one hand and fired at the twisted aliens that were jumping around overhead with the other hand.

Farida began to organize the troops to retreat and fight. Valina used her strong arm strength to pull over the bench to provide cover for her comrades. These things could not stop the bombs, but they could provide some vision.

"Where are you going? My distinguished guests." Just as everyone was about to retreat to the side door, a bald bishop blocked the way under the escort of two noise fighters.

Because the chapters are a bit long, the document court will post one chapter after revising it. Today is still three chapters.
