["…"]
[You did not hear any response from Inquisitor Amani.]
[You were unilaterally disconnected from the private communication by the other party. ]
[You closed your dry eyes, and the throbbing blood vessels and nerves continued to beat inside your silver metal skull.]
[Amani may not be an inquisitor of the Demonic Ordos at all.]
[She may be a safety device deliberately arranged by the Inquisition to check and balance your investigation.]
[If she is indeed an inquisitor of the Demonic Inquisition, then she is involved in the complicated factional struggle within the Inquisition.]
[You slightly relaxed your frown, and the gradually easing headache and blood pressure made you subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.]
[You seem to have forgotten some more important clues and possibilities...]
["Either the Inquisition doesn't believe my report and thinks that my relationship with the Chapter is too close, and I have become a heretic…or someone wants to use the crazy people of the Inquisition to force an Astartes Chapter to rebel by taking advantage of the righteous cause of exterminating demons…well, that should be it?"]
[You take a deep breath with a blank expression.]
[You drive the power armor to the corner of the private room. ]
[You put on your back the flamethrower filled with promethium, and a bolter given to you by Chapter Master Gallus.]
[Your fully armed behavior has attracted the attention of the Ogryn team. ]
[Smarthead Zhuaganbao shakes his fat butt, comes close to you, and asks you with his eyes wide open.]
["Boss, what's the matter? Are the angels disobedient again? Don't worry, we'll help you slap them in the face!"]
["Zhuagenbao, get your friends to re-arm! Our 'enemy' is coming! This time, I'm afraid we need to ask the angels for help!" You said to the smart-headed Zhuagenbao with a serious expression. ]
[Smart Head Zhuaganbao scratched his bald scalp blankly, and then ordered all members of the Ogryn team to get ready.]
[You found Chapter Master Galles who was sending out a reconnaissance team to investigate the conditions of the hive passage.]
[You told him in detail about a series of heretical acts committed by the Amani Inquisitors.]
[At the same time, you also revealed to Chapter Master Gallus the important news that a group of battle sisters will soon arrive here.]
[Captain Gallus did not seem to show any surprise.]
[He immediately ordered all Astartes to prepare for battle immediately.]
[With the swift actions of the Astartes monks, the entire regiment's base seemed to have entered the long-awaited battle atmosphere. ]
["Inquisitor 'Steel Skull', I'm very sorry that you are involved. I will order my personal guards to escort you out of the hive safely... You can tell the outside world that it was our Truth Seekers Chapter that detained you and threatened and forced you to make an investigation report that violated the order of the Inquisition." Chapter Master Gallus said to you in a calm tone. ]
["Captain Gallus, do you think I am the kind of person who is afraid of death? Since someone wants to use me, then don't look down on my hard and smelly metal head!" You slapped the hard head covered with silver metal with an expressionless face. ]
[Captain Gallus gave you a deep gaze.]
[He suddenly revealed a gentle smile you had never seen before.]
["My intuition tells me that you are sincerely helping us... Inquisitor 'Steel Skull', it will be a great honor for the Truth Seekers to fight alongside you!" Chapter Master Gallus raised his metal palm and slapped your heavy shoulder armor heavily. ]
[You blinked your eyes slightly and smiled faintly. ]
[In the third month, an Astartes reconnaissance team relied on the driving force of the power armor and extremely abundant physical strength to climb the passage of the large transport elevator and arrived at the defense position of the local defense army.]
[When the roar of the grenade launchers sounded, the local defense forces, who had obeyed the orders of Inquisitor Amani, immediately surrendered to the Truth Seekers.]
[Wait until you and Chapter Captain Gallus arrive at the upper nest of the hive city via the large transport elevator.]
[The reconnaissance team of only twenty people has completely controlled the entire situation. ]
[The local defense forces are carrying out the defense mission of the nest city according to your orders. ]
[However, a series of bad news quickly came to you. ]
[The innocent planetary governor was deliberately murdered, and even Inquisitor Amani himself is missing. Even after mobilizing the civilians of the hive to conduct a large-scale search, there is no clue. ]
[At the same time, the captain of the Cobra destroyer was forced to obey the order of another Inquisitor and move away from the planet's orbit. At the same time, the other party also informed the Battle Sisters of the heresy that occurred on this industrial planet.]
[That is to say, the Truth Seekers and you as the Heretic Inquisitor have completely lost the opportunity to explain the entire incident clearly.]
[The battle between you and the arriving Battle Sisters is inevitable.]
[Captain Galles seemed to have anticipated this.]
[He immediately ordered the Astartes monks in the regiment's base to deploy for battle across the entire hive.]
[A large Exorcist-class cruiser belonging to the Truth Seekers, escorted by several Sword-class frigates, gradually moved away from the industrial planet, disguising itself as a strange ship from another planet.]
[According to Chapter Captain Gallus's idea, this will be one of the backup methods for the Truth Seekers to evacuate this place.]
[At the same time, one after another of the old Leman Russ tanks were driven out of the long-sealed arms warehouse by the Homeland Defense Forces. According to the order of Captain Gallus, they were ambushed near the entrance of the hive city one by one.]
[You led your Ogryn team and nine Astartes Brothers away from the hive entrance temporarily. ]
[You silently watched as the swift-moving Astartes monks carrying heavy weapons entered the encirclement they had planned in advance.]
[You seem to have noticed the eager anticipation of the upcoming battle among the Astartes Brothers who serve as guards.]
[You vaguely sensed something was wrong.]
[You think that the development of all things at the moment is beyond your control. ]
[You reviewed the entire incident once again, but didn't seem to find anything wrong.]
[A series of unexpected events forced you to completely confront the Battle Sisters that you personally mobilized.]
[As time goes by, both the Truth Seekers and the Homeland Defense Forces have made full preparations, waiting for the upcoming Battle Sisters.]
[However, when the landing capsules and Thunderhawk transport planes cut through the dry night sky of the industrial planet like flowers scattered by fairies, and descended towards the nest city. ]
[A tiny thought that welled up from deep within your heart slowly took over your entire mind, causing you to gradually tighten the heavy grip of the flamethrower.]
["Why am I so convinced that the Truth Seekers Chapter is definitely not a heresy? Is it because of the influence of everything I have seen with my own eyes, or... I have a preconceived notion that the Astartes Brothers who treat the people of the hive city so well and are willing to disobey the orders of the Inquisition several times for the lives of innocent civilians will definitely not have any entanglement with Chaos?"]
["So, were the Chaos rituals in the Chapter's base and other clues about the traces of demons really deliberately framed by the Demon Inquisitor Amani? Or… was it because of my different feelings towards the Astartes Brothers and my deliberate suspicion of the Inquisition that I subconsciously ignored all kinds of information?"]
["Why does Chapter Master Gallus look like he's ready to fight the Imperial forces? Even if it means some losses, don't he need to get in touch with the Sisters of Battle and try to prove his Chapter's loyalty? As long as the Sisters of Battle are there as a guarantee, even the Inquisition won't make things difficult for him. Also, why do most of the Astartes Brothers look like they can't wait to fight?"]
["Emperor! I cannot guarantee whether there is any misunderstanding or misconception here!"]
["But this style of behavior that is full of strangeness and coincidences...why didn't I notice it earlier?!"]
["May the Emperor bless you! This war that is about to break out is most likely a conspiracy of the Tzeentch demons!"]
Thank you for your support!
'Steel Skull' Rorschach: By the Emperor! I really can't tell the difference!
