Chapter 495: Coming to your door to seek death?

The judges of the Silver Tribunal were very angry at the alliance's disrespectful behavior.

In their work experience, they rarely encounter this kind of situation.

They are the Inquisition! If you tell the truth, you have the power! No matter where the local high-ranking officials are, they don't look down on them. If they say you are treason, you are treason!

Wherever they go, aren't they treated with care? The local forces in every empire looked upon them as if they were the God of Death, kneeling on the ground in fear, waiting anxiously for their verdict. In this process, it is very common to try your best to flatter and grovel to please.

Clean up the agents sent out by the Inquisition?

Who dares!

Although they were sent secretly, the local forces were certainly aware that the spies were members of the Tribunal. It's too late to coax and offer, so at most, you can try your best to hide the evidence of the crime. Only when you have the most last resort, you dare to do evil things.

But often this is the time when the judges get angry and then sentence those in power to death.

But the Alliance is not like that at all.

There is still some courtesy, but in many places they conflict. For example, when it comes to spies, the Human Alliance doesn't care whether you have investigated or uncovered any information. As long as you are sent to investigate without openly communicating with them, they will be treated as illegal spies.

Outraged?

Then get angry.

After the verdict is pronounced, do you, Angry Flame, dare to start a war directly? Obviously not. In the past, the Inquisition itself or the forces it represented or allied with had absolute crushing power over local forces. The ultimate goal of judging rebellion was to find an excuse to start a war.

To put it bluntly, even if you can do it, it will be a matter of the future. At this moment, all of these Silver Judges in the heart of the Alliance must be finished!

The Alliance intelligence officers following them might not be able to kill them, but those so-called 'Glory Guards' made the Silver Judges tremble a little. These alliance elites are not as majestic and powerful as the Space Marines, but they are still covered in power armor and cannot be underestimated. The key is that the mental outlook they showed is even more shocking.

The Silver Inquisitors couldn't help but secretly compare. Their black ships of the Inquisition also carried an elite stormtroopers. This was a force composed of the most elite veterans transferred from the Astra Militarum, equipped with exoskeleton armor. As well as the hell laser gun, each tactical team can also choose more powerful weapons such as explosive bombs, plasma, and melt according to different mission objectives.

At the same time, the Raging Flames Chapter will also withdraw.

However, the league is still considering this matter carefully.

Even though they had received many urgings from the Raging Flames in the past year.

However, they are leaving now.

The Silver Tribunal withdrew in despair.

Not at all.

This method of "accompanying", but actually monitoring, made them dare not act rashly, and they could not even hope to find out what the results would be.

The war that cannot be fought now cannot be fought because of these one hundred angry flame prisoners.

The Imperial Faction objected, and the Iron Armor Faction also received information from the Iron Armor Chapter. The Dragon Eagle Star Region, located two star regions south of the Queen's Star Region, was not the core location for the Iron Armor Chapter's next move.

As long as they exist, the alliance will have to devote a considerable amount of attention to them.

I left without being able to draw any conclusions.

They also understand their role: if they can't kill you, they will disgust you to death.

However, compared with these glory guards in the alliance, they may be similar in terms of training level and mental will, but their equipment is slightly different.

Even if they just want to run away, the Inquisition's black ships have excellent performance, but their black ships are always accompanied by several times the number of Alliance warships.

To be honest, their role has indeed been played out. Otherwise, so many intelligence officers, so many Honor Guards, and a considerable number of Alliance warships can do other things, instead of just following these judges to prevent them from causing any unforeseen problems.

But in short, the investigation into the alliance cannot be carried out.

Silver Judges often lament because of this: Is the Alliance so rich?

Even if the Stormtroopers in their hands can compete with these Honor Guards, they can still call the Phoenix Space Marines over at any time, but the Raging Flame Chapter is far away.

In the past, they had covered up the Iron Armor Chapter's behavior many times, but that was because Holy Terra had not yet determined the Iron Armor Chapter's behavior. At this point, do they really want to be completely tied to the Iron Armor Chapter?

To repay or not to repay is of course decided by the alliance. If the Alliance insists on detaining people without returning them, what else can the Raging Flames do?

But that's not the case at all right now!

Wrathful Flame asked the Silver Tribunal to make a verdict and they would not start a war because of this, at least not until their strength was strong enough. Their verdict was mostly used by the Raging Flames as a means to suppress the alliance.

Not only if they do this, the entire team currently in the heart of the alliance will be destroyed, and they will not be able to carry out their judgment. Moreover, they did not even dare to pass judgment after leaving the Alliance's territory, because the changes in Holy Terra scared the Silver Tribunal.

In fact, they pronounce the verdict in front of them, and the Flash Tribunal that follows behind them may overturn their verdict; there is no way to enforce their verdict, and even if they are angry, they may not be able to outperform the alliance. .

A few years ago, the hundred-man Raging Flame Company sent by Casimir Erso to convey the mission to the Alliance had been detained by the Alliance for a long time. The alliance must return these people.

To be honest, this is quite unusual for inquisitors. With great fanfare, a whole black ship, hundreds of inquisitors at all levels, tens of thousands of elite stormtroopers, and an unknown number of spies were dispatched to the location of a force to conduct an investigation. Leave without getting any results.

But they still didn't dare.

Neither the dark side nor the bright side can get any real information. They want to use the alliance's bad attitude to judge the alliance in the name of 'obstructing the investigation', but they don't dare. These reasons made the Silver Judges feel aggrieved.

That's even worse.

Even if we come to the conclusion that the alliance is not treasonous?

The Silver Tribunal has not yet made a final decision. There are still fierce debates among them, and there have even been some purges among themselves. The Iron Armor faction was reluctant to have the power to do whatever they wanted with the support of a powerful battle group in the eastern frontier of the empire, as well as the huge benefits brought by the Iron Armor battle group; the Imperial faction believed that following the Iron Armor would lead to a dead end.

But the Silver Judges dared not do anything.

Stormtroopers are said to be of the Astra Militarum rank, but in fact they are more common working for the Inquisition. They are one of the most reliable elite armed forces under the Inquisition.

However, they still wander around the heart of the alliance.

To declare the Alliance to be traitors was simply a matter of words. However, looking at the alliance intelligence officers who are always following their group and monitoring their actions, as well as the 'Glory Guards' that these intelligence officers can call upon at any time, the Silver Judges have no intention of doing anything wrong. .

a mess.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to endorsing the alliance?

But coming to the conclusion of treason?

But before leaving, the Wrathful Flames made a request to the Alliance.

Do the Silver judges dare to pronounce a verdict without conclusive evidence just because of this?

Obviously don't dare.

Within these two major factions, there are still many differences.

Whether the prisoners are returned or not, the Raging Flames Chapter will have no choice but to withdraw. But the method of withdrawal may be different.

They evacuated obediently and returned all their current occupied areas to the Dragon Eagle Star Territory Government. Finally, they waited for Gu Hang, the Dragon Eagle Head of State who had been clearly appointed, to take over. Before leaving, A big plunder?

They would definitely do something predatory, it was a no-brainer. I am afraid that they will take the warships they currently control, transport a large amount of supplies, and evacuate with them.

But the difference lies in whether their plundering is relatively mild or destructive.

If it's the latter, it's actually very troublesome. They'll leave the league with a huge mess.

Of course, this would lead to huge resistance and would give the Wrathful Flames a very bad reputation. However, they have to withdraw and go against the empire. They obviously don't care about this.

Even though it is actually impossible for them to harm all the areas under their control, it would still be very uncomfortable even if they only harmed one Yunluo star. Before the war, Yunluo Planet was a developed world whose production value was no less than that of Winged Star. Level 4 development, a population of 120 billion, and an output value of nearly billion. In many places controlled by the Alliance, the entire star region may only add up to half of this number.

What's more, after smashing the pot, they not only took away the wealth, but the alliance would then rule these areas and have to spend money to appease and rebuild.

In fact, after learning about the changes in the political situation on Holy Terra and predicting that the Raging Flames were likely to retreat, the Alliance government made plans in this regard.

As soon as the Furious Flames have the intention to leave, they will attack across the board, seize time and opportunities, and force the Furious Flames to not go too far and drive them away. Even if it triggers a certain degree of war between the two sides, it will not be hesitant.

The people from the Raging Flames Chapter who came to negotiate had a vague idea: If you return the captives to me, I will do less evil.

The alliance is actually willing to do this.

No matter how valuable a hundred naked Fury Flames are, in the eyes of the Alliance, they are not as valuable as a better preserved world.

Even if Wrath Flame does not completely abide by the agreement, it will still snatch what should be snatched and destroy what should be destroyed, but it is better to keep as much as possible.

However, when they agreed in principle to the other party's conditions in exchange for the prisoners, the Phoenix Chapter had a new idea.

This idea still needs Gu Hang's approval.

Gu Hang, who was still on his way home, sent back a signal after hearing the report and application:

agree.

...

Snow Eagle Star District, Upper Plateau Star.

This world, which was once regarded as a key focus battle between humans and iron-toothed greenskins, has been torn apart by the war. Various orbital bombardments, as well as brutal battles on the ground, almost destroyed the world.

Most of the original urban agglomerations on the ground have been turned into ruins. There may still be civilians who survived the war, but they won't be too many.

If it wants to return to its past appearance, it will probably take a long time - if there is no external interference.

Today, this planet has once again become the focus of the entire star field.

Because the handover ceremony between the Raging Flame Chapter and the Alliance regarding the Dragon Eagle Star Territory will be held here.

The Raging Flames Chapter will evacuate the Dragon Eagle Star Territory from today, and the Alliance will be able to take over smoothly.

Originally, the Alliance wanted to sign a detailed handover list with the Raging Flames Chapter. What you can take away, what you cannot take away, and what you must be obliged to keep intact... However, the Raging Flames Chapter refused.

So far, the two parties have not signed any clear paper documents. All agreements reached were verbal or even tacit.

This is very unreliable.

However, one thing is clear and certain: the Alliance will deliver 100 previously captured Raging Flame warriors on the Upper Plateau Planet today.

As the representative of the alliance, it is the Phoenix Chapter, who are fully responsible for this exchange ceremony.

The method of exchange is a bloody fight to the death.

The rules are very simple: the Phoenix will send out one hundred warriors, who will be challenged by the Raging Flames. The winner will be determined in the ring, and life and death will be decided.

If Nu Yan wins a game, he will give Nu Yan a prisoner.

If you have the ability to kill a hundred phoenixes, all the hundred prisoners will be released.

The arena has been built - it's just a big flat area. There are no restrictions on any means or rules. All equipment that an individual soldier can bring in can be used, but no interference is allowed outside the venue.

Fairness and justice all depend on ability. After a round is over, both sides can choose to substitute or not. Anyway, the duel will end when Phoenix loses 100 games. As for how many games Fury Yan has to fight in order to win these 100 games, it all depends on Fury Flame's own strength. ability.

If the angry flames can defeat a hundred phoenixes without losing a fight, then it is equivalent to killing a hundred phoenixes and getting back their own prisoners for free; if they cannot defeat these one hundred people, It's up to you.

This is undoubtedly a major provocation. It is not only a duel between warriors but also a duel between battle groups.

There is no trace of friendship, just when the war cannot start, two battle groups full of grudges against each other are going to engage in a life-and-death fight.

In the outer orbit of the Upper Plateau Star, ships from both sides gathered. The leader of the alliance is naturally the "Fire Nova", and on the other side, the flagship of the Raging Flames, the battle barge "Fire Soul" is also eyeing it.

The ships on both sides are quite far away from the planet's orbit. The distrust between them is almost ready to burst out. No one is willing to let the other side's ship stop on the track, lest the people who go down to the ground suddenly take a rail gun shot.

A cruiser-level warship from the Mechanicus was also there. It belonged to the Mingyang Sect. They were the first to come as 'guests' and could be regarded as witnesses to a certain extent.

The site that was cleared early was a vast open space of urban ruins after the war. A large number of people from both sides have fallen behind, and they are clearly separated on both sides.

Among the two parties, the most eye-catching ones are two clusters of steel bodies with different colors.

One side has red armor with white edges, the other side is mainly orange, and the shoulder armor and below the knees are black.

The number of both sides was eight hundred. Not all the soldiers were sent down, each of them kept a hand.

But as the most important figures of both battle groups, the captains of both battle groups are present here.

Kazimierz Erso stared ahead, and he could see Martins wearing Terminator power armor opposite him.

As soon as he received the duel invitation from Martins himself, anger suddenly arose in his heart.

How dare a newly resurrected battle group dare to challenge them?

It's simply overestimating one's abilities!

At the same time, he also believed that this was a good opportunity to resolve the anger that the entire battle group was holding back.

Just as he was reluctant when he heard Humphrey Paul asking him to retreat, the soldiers under his command also had similar emotions.

How could the proud Space Marines tolerate surrendering without firing a single shot?

Although retreating is not an admission of defeat, but a strategic shift, those generally impulsive warriors in the Raging Flames still find this very frustrating.

They don't want to do this, they are just forced to do this due to orders.

Now, the Phoenix's suggestion is exactly what he wants!

I didn't want to withdraw in the first place, but you guys came here looking for death!

Coupled with the fact that the head of the orc chief Titus was robbed before, and the centuries-old grudge...it is impossible for the entire battle group not to accept the challenge of the Phoenix.

Otherwise, the entire Chapter will be brought to shame!

Even if Kazimierz Erso is the Chapter Master, he cannot go against the opinions of countless people and refuse this duel that is related to the honor of the Chapter. That will destroy his prestige and countless battle brothers will question whether he He is also qualified to lead the entire battle group.

What's more, he himself had no intention of refusing at all!

Even if he had heard that after the Phoenix Chapter was revived, those Phoenix recruits were not weak and could not be treated as recruits, but so what? Are all the angry flames new recruits? The length of service and combat experience of all the members is far greater than that of the Phoenix recruits. They have countless years of fury. If they are afraid of dueling with each other, then they are evil!

To put it another way, even if these phoenixes are really powerful, if they want to kill all one hundred of them, they will have to pay a price of one hundred, or even two hundred, and then they have to fight in this duel!

Especially since the opponent also chose their home field, the entire Snow Eagle Star District had been considered the control area of ​​the Raging Flames before this. Under such conditions, it was impossible for the Raging Flames to retreat.
