Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Heavy power armor footsteps trampled across the concrete floor, followed by several other footsteps. They followed behind, followed behind Judge Amberley Viva, and followed her through the Smelly drainage pipes.

After the attack on the highway, Kane and Vito were led by Amberley from the civilized city above to this place, a smelly place full of sewage and garbage. Kane Walking non-stop among domestic sewage up to your ankles.

Kane really envied Amberley for wearing a suit of power armor so that she didn't have to get dirty and walk in sewage, but he was obviously not so lucky. His political commissar coat and boots seemed to be destroyed.

He didn't ask Amberley why he brought them here, and he knew he shouldn't ask, because Vito didn't ask anything. If he didn't ask, he didn't want to get involved in the matter between the inquisitors, of course, unless The kind that might get you killed.

But as of now, Kane is still alive and well, and the stink here is no worse than Jurgen's. For the Emperor's sake, his poor nose has long been accustomed to this smell, just like last time, Like when he accidentally fell into the orc camp, oh, you really should smell the smell between orcs.

Kane followed the team and kept observing the closed space around him. He subconsciously began to think about where it could be used as a bunker and where it could be used to escape. But this place was not very optimistic. There was nothing to hide in the closed drainage channel. As long as there was a tower ahead. Machine gun, Kane's life probably depends on this.

But it didn't take long for Kane's worries to disappear. He followed Amberley and stepped under the overpass under the city drainage channel at the end. This is one of the several channels for dredging the city's sewage that has long dried up, but it has long been seen. It has been abandoned for many years, but there are still quite a lot of materials, silt and garbage hidden in it left here.

Above Kane's head, there are towering highways and overpasses. They span over the man-made canyon, and they will not notice anything in this inconspicuous corner below. And here, there is indeed a group of people waiting for them. .

It seems that this is the place where Amberley talked. It is indeed very hidden. Kane must admit that he immediately looked at the guys in front of him. There were two groups of people. One wave was obviously Amberley's people, that is, the trial Kane knew two of the people in the court, the one who looked thin and pale. She still didn’t seem to like Jurgen very much. Whenever Jurgen came near her, she would start to get hysterical. was talking to himself, so Kane had better not let Jurgen go over to shake hands.

The other one is that old guy, what's his name? Cahor? Kane remembered that he was Amberley's think tank. Although he was a strange old guy, he was indeed very knowledgeable.

There are some other people, whom Kane doesn't recognize. Amberley always has all kinds of strange subordinates. These two look the same. One of them looks like a mercenary, wearing a black jacket. The breastplate and refraction scales are still attached, and three guns are hung on the waist.

The other one is a mechanical priest, but surprisingly, it is a female priest, and the face is still human, and I have to say, it is also very beautiful.

Kane admired her, and soon saw another group of people, who were not so pleasing to his eyes. There were four vehicles in the gutter, including a truck and three armored off-road vehicles, with legal documents painted on the doors. department's logo, and the abbreviation MLPD, the local law enforcement team.

In front of the car, there were many arbitrators standing all around. They looked serious, wearing bulletproof breastplates and holding laser guns or large-caliber shotguns. Just looking at those things, Kane felt A chill ran down my back.

"Um, someone from the Legal Department?" "You're so observant, how did you find out?" Amberley smiled mischievously, wearing power armor, and walked over to the truck. The beautiful mechanical priest quickly got on. He took off the power armor for her. After all the mechanical arms and brackets in the truck were in place, he quickly opened the chest of the power armor, allowing Amberley, who was wearing blue clothing, to jump out.

She still wore such bright clothes, which was completely different from the low-key black and gray combinations of most inquisitors. Amberley was always more willing to let people notice her. Kane remembered one time, she told herself that it was the opposite. As a matter of fact, if people always notice you, then they won't suspect that you are secretly up to something.

But Kane's mind was not on admiring Amberley's new clothes, but on the arbitrators, especially the one at the head of them. He was wearing a gray coat with a fully armored breastplate underneath. There are protective gears all the way down to the legs.

"I think Commissar Kane means, are these arbitrators really trustworthy? We were just sitting in the car he sent, and then we were attacked." Vito looked at the arbitrator in gray and white clothes in front of him. The officer smiled slightly, "What do you think? Your Excellency the Grand Arbiter Sher."

Kane also recognized the arbitrator. He had seen his face on the planet's government list when he attended a tactical briefing before. However, Kane would never seriously attend such briefings. After all, military affairs The information the department has is either wrong or out of date.

But he was lucky. Fortunately, the Ministry of Military Affairs was right on this point. Scheer looked like what he had inadvertently aimed at at that time. He had a strong body, a beard, a man of few words, and a typical look. image of the CEO.

"Grand Arbitrator Sher is one of us, he can trust it. The previous incident was an accident. The Ministry of Justice seems to have been infiltrated, just like the government of this planet."

Amberley walked over and came to Vito, looked at him and smiled, "How should I introduce you to him, Inquisitor Vito Constantine, or..."

"Inquisitor." Vito responded coldly. Kane seemed to hear something in his words. They were hiding something from him, but he didn't intend to ask. That was the business of the Inquisition. The farther away he was, the better.

"Okay, President Sher, this is my colleague, an Inquisitor from the Anti-foreign Order, and the other is his companion, Inquisitor Alice from the Inquisition."

"It's an honor." Sher answered simply, without saying a word more, and Vito simply nodded to him. He knew that it was Amberley who would really answer the questions and give explanations.

"It seems that the meeting place with the arbitrator has been changed to here." "Indeed, the Ministry of Justice has been infiltrated. I believe you can see that. The attack during the previous parade and the accident on the highway this time have proved this point." "Huh, how can you not be surprised at all?"

Vito laughed mockingly and looked in the direction of Arbitrator Sher, "What about his people?" "They are reliable. I believe them, Inquisitor." Sher explained confidently, without any fear that might appear when facing an emperor's inquisitor. He was very calm and quite calm.

Vito looked at him and looked at the arbitrators again. Then Amberley interrupted, "Arbitrator Sher and his people are working with me to investigate those separatists hiding in the dark."

"Have you found out?" "Well, we have found out part of it. This is a complicated network, but we have figured out part of it. We are tracking them down and learned about their assassination plan for Commissar Kane, and we stopped them."

Kane looked melancholy. Why would every enemy of the empire target him? Why don't they change their target, such as Castin or Braun? But himself?

Kane complained in his heart, but no one noticed. Vito was still looking at Amberley, "Indeed, it was just a little late to stop it, or it was almost too late."

"We are short of manpower and can't do everything, but we will try our best. Now we have some clues. At least we know that the entire planetary government has been infiltrated like a sieve. The local governor has seriously neglected his duties."

"He is just a stupid idiot, just like most governors." Sher added, his face full of disdain. Vito snorted and put his hands behind his back, "Then this idiot, does he know that he is being controlled, or doesn't he?" "Well, I suspect it's the latter."

Amberley smiled cutely, as if talking about a naive child again, maybe it's still very vivid. Vito snorted and put his hands behind his back, "As expected, have you investigated the local Rogue Traders Guild?"

"You mean, someone in their group is colluding with pirates?" "Yes, have you found out?" "Basically, it's clear that the Rogue Traders Guild The president's family has been trading with the Tau for many years and has made a lot of money. Some people in the guild are jealous. To be precise, they collude with pirates to attack the president's family's trade fleet to intercept his goods and share the profits with the pirates. " "In other words, it has nothing to do with the Tau?" Vito asked, and Amberley shook his head briskly, "It has not been investigated yet whether they have any relationship with the Tau, but we can be sure that some pirates have a relationship with the Tau, just like the local separatists." "It's a pity that the clues are lost now. Our clue target died in the crossfire on the previous highway, but we will soon track down their new tails." Arbitrator Sher said this disappointing news, but soon added another paragraph, as if he was afraid of making the two new judges feel regretful. Although Kane knew him, it was more because of Vito. After all, even Amberley respected him. Even if Sher didn't know who he was, he knew how powerful he was. "It's just that it will take a while to track them down. The situation is already chaotic enough, but since the Space Marines came, everything has completely gotten out of control." Amberley said in her pleasant contralto voice. Her voice is very beautiful. Kane has heard her sing, and it is simply like the sound of nature.

"Space Marines?" Vito asked immediately, and Amberley shrugged helplessly, "Dark Angels, my news said that they came as a whole group, and brought their giant rocks, but after they came, they started looking for pirates and clearing them out on their own, refusing to communicate with us or anyone else."

"This makes the Tau people very nervous. You know, the last time the Astartes came, they left a deep impression on them." Amberley smiled cutely and looked at Vito in front of him.

"I didn't participate in the third Sky Dome Expansion, but I know what you mean, Raven Guard, teach them a lesson." Vito's words surprised Sher and his men, because from what Vito said, he participated in the first two times, which means Vito's age is already... Kane also knew this, but he never asked how Vito kept such a young body. He knew he shouldn't ask, and he shouldn't be stupid enough to ask.

But Kane was not happy to hear the news at all, because every time the Astartes appeared, it meant the coming of a war. They were the angels of death, the emperor's war messengers. They would ignite war wherever they went, and Not small at all, Kane really wished he wasn't there when they came.

But Vito seemed to have a cold and calm face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart. He raised his head slightly and glanced at Amberley, "I will get in touch with them and find out their purpose. You continue to investigate. , if you have any clues, please contact me.”

"As you command, Your Majesty the Grand Inquisitor." Amberley nodded to him with respect, and then Vito turned around and looked at Kane, then pointed to an armored police car next to the Arbitrator.

"Your car belongs to us now."
