Warhammer: From Planetary Governor - Chapter 475
“Titus?”
The Grand Master of the Alien Tribunal flashed his red electronic eyes: “Savior, if there is such a warrior in the Tribunal, I will bring him to you.”
He ended the communication respectfully, frowning slightly.
That was the existence that the Primarch of Hope had named, but he knew nothing about that warrior.
He looked at the waiting Death Watch Captain: “Do you know the warrior named Titus?”
Altus shook his head: “I have never heard of this name, sir.”
The Grand Master was a little speechless, but added: “That should be a powerful warrior, otherwise the Primarch would not remember his name.”
There are too many people in the Death Watch, spread all over the galaxy, so it is normal that he has not heard of Titus.
As for why the Primarch of Hope knows?
Perhaps it is because of some kind of omniscient prophecy, the Grand Master of the Tribunal thought so.
But no matter what.
I have to find that guy and complete the instructions given by the Primarch of Hope.
The Grand Master of the Inquisition waved his hand slightly: “Go down, Captain. You have to stay in Holy Terra for a while. It’s best to train tactics against the Dark Eldar aliens.
I have a hunch that the Primarch of Hope will be able to use you.”
“Right.”
He thought of something and took out a stack of dark golden paper coupons from the hidden storage device on his body, with the emblem of the Primarch of Hope on it:
“This is the welfare that the Primarch of Hope gave to each department… With such a contract, you can enter the inner ring of the newly established Holy Land of the State Religion and pay homage to the holy relics of the great Emperor.
Everyone, take a good rest.”
That is the key project presided over by the Primarch of Hope, the Savior, in Holy Terra. In the center is a sacred tower and many holy relics of the Emperor.
It can allow people to bathe in the sacred light and cleanse their souls.
More importantly, the holy land has a strong savior’s mark and style, and its biggest feature is a one-stop leisure vacation and health care.
This is equivalent to the welfare given by the Savior to each department. Every once in a while, a batch of admission tickets will be distributed to the corresponding departments.
Let those outstanding beings get an unconditional seven-day spiritual cleansing journey.
It is a means of winning people’s hearts.
At the same time, there is a channel for purchasing coupons, which is specially provided to the heads of some departments.
It is equivalent to a channel for team building.
But the requirements for selling are strict. Not only do you need throne coins, but you also have to evaluate your responsibilities and achievements to get the corresponding free coupons.
This has also triggered a certain kind of welfare competition and involution. The department next door wiped out a group of cults and went to cleanse their souls.
If we don’t go, won’t it seem that our performance is not good and it’s very shabby?
So many department heads have made a batch of such free coupons to give benefits to their own people and win people’s hearts.
This is also a means to strengthen faith and prevent chaos erosion.
The scorching sacred light of the sacred tower can melt the hidden traces of corrosion or mental fatigue to prevent possible dangers.
“Welfare?”
Soldiers such as Altus don’t quite understand. There are too many unfamiliar things in Holy Terra now.
But they still took the dark gold coupons and thanked the great mentor.
This is a rare opportunity to see the holy relics of the great emperor.
Alters led the warriors out of the court of inquiry and activated the dark gold ticket using the data device.
A few minutes later.
A dark gold luxury ship came roaring without any traffic control.
It was the “special ship” responsible for the pick-up of the Holy Land.
Alters and others boarded the ship, took off their dark armor and weapons in the cabin, put on white robes, and put on some kind of holy bracelet on their hands.
They were sent to the inner ring of the Holy Land.
It was an area like a garden world, with many natural landscapes, beaches and artificial seas, which were most suitable for healing the body and mind.
It was also fully covered with sacred light.
“Emperor above…”
Alters and other warriors looked at the smiling crowd coming and going, and the slightly warm golden light shone on their bodies, and they felt extremely warm in their hearts.
That seemed to be the closest time they were to the emperor.
These death watch warriors started a seven-day spiritual cleansing journey in a trance, and left a deep memory.
Especially the thing called health care.
Among them, the high-intensity rotating fascia knife is a project that every powerful warrior must challenge.
It is said that Dante, the leader of the Blood Angels, is the holder of the strongest record. He persisted for several hours before fainting.
…
Imperial Inquisition.
The Grand Master of the Alien Inquisition is still looking for Titus’s trace.
But he asked the leaders of several subordinate orders and found no relevant traces.
That existence is so mysterious.
But what they didn’t expect was that it was because the level of the Terra Inquisition was too high, and some warriors or records were only handled locally.
If the level was not enough, it would not be reported to the Inquisition headquarters in Terra.
Not long after, a top-level order to find the Death Watch warrior Titus was issued from the Alien Inquisition headquarters in the form of star language and passed to the headquarters of various star fields.
Then it passed through the Inquisition headquarters of each star field and passed layer by layer to their respective large regions, star fields, sub-star regions, etc.
By the time this order was passed to the smallest organizational unit of the Inquisition, a specific watchtower or monitoring station, several months had passed.
The Grand Master of the Alien Tribunal has been waiting patiently.
——
Glia sub-sector, Watcher Fortress monitoring station.
Stasis cell.
This dark and ferocious secret cell of the Inquisition belongs to the ordinary Inquisitor Sirkes.
He trained under the legendary Inquisitor Fattus, is an avowed member of the Order of the Hammer, and is a scholar of history.
More importantly, he is an extreme member of the human supremacy faction.
As the most extreme purist, Ordinary Inquisitor Sirkes firmly believes that only purebred humans are qualified to survive in the empire. Not only aliens, but also mutants, astropaths and navigators are the targets of his rejection.
He even considered Space Marines to be impure beings.
Those angels and space warriors created by the Emperor, like heretics and aliens, may pose a serious threat to mankind at any time.
To monitor this threat.
Sirkis personally supervised many Chapters, particularly those operating in the Segmentum Segmentum and the Segmentum Sol, looking for possible traces of heresy.
Those Space Marines suspected of heresy were often accused by him and arrested for surveillance and interrogation.
The only pity is.
He has no authority to execute these Space Marines. Unless definite evidence of guilt can be found, there will be fierce resistance from the Chapter.
“Wise but unfaithful, the divine edge is reversed.”
Sirkes, with gray hair, silently recited the words from the Emperor’s Words as he entered the prison.
He has shouldered the sacred mission of the Inquisition for almost four hundred years.
Sirkes monitored several warbands and imprisoned and interrogated a number of warriors suspected of heresy and treason.
This is a fruitful job.
He once personally characterized six war groups as heretics and rebels, issued a recovery order, and cleaned up the filth in the empire.
He even led the Gray Knights to destroy the Gray Killer Chapter and its home planet.
But the Inquisitor still believed that there was a flaw in his resume, which came from an Ultramarine who had been imprisoned and monitored by him for a century-Titus.
The suspected heretic Ultramarine unleashed the power of the warp when Grilia defended against the green-skinned aliens.
Sirkis hopes to find out why.
Yet a century.
He was unable to ask anything from the suspected heretic soldier, and he found no trace of corruption.
“I’m afraid there are deeper risks hidden behind this…”
Sirkes thought so.
Over the years, he repeatedly rejected requests to release Titus, insisting on continuing to imprison him until the final result was obtained.
In a stagnant cage.
Titus was chained by sharp, ferocious mechanical shackles, some of which almost penetrated his body.
Compared to the dense scars left by battles on the body, the scars caused by these spikes are insignificant.
But the pain is there all the time.
The ultramarine lowered his head, with a trace of guilt on his resolute face, feeling intense self-blame.
While fighting the greenskins in Goria, he accidentally unleashed the power of the warp and became surprisingly resistant to it.
Therefore, he was found to be an accomplice of the demonic entity.
Titus abides by the code of the Ultramarines and firmly believes that he is loyal, but he cannot explain this heresy.
He didn’t know why, and he couldn’t resist.
When the Inquisition strike ships arrived, Titus surrendered to Inquisitor Serx without complaint, acknowledging the Inquisitor’s supervisory authority over the subjects of the Empire.
He did not want to conflict with the Inquisition.
Because once he raises a weapon to resist the judge, he will be immediately judged as a heretic.
That would forever tarnish the perfect record of the Ultramarines, and even bring shame to his genetic father and battle brothers.
The Ultramarine hopes to prove his innocence and continue fighting for the Emperor.
However, a century later, Titus experienced countless tortures in prison, but still failed to get that redemption, and was even gradually forgotten by people.
Even so, he never doubted his faith.
Click click click.
An old gear track carries the prisoner Titus’ stasis cage into a confessional.
Phew~
The mechanical arm injects a special interrogation agent into the prisoner’s body, which can strengthen people’s senses and reduce their will.
In order to unearth the innermost secrets.
Afterwards, dozens of spikes suddenly contracted and pierced into the prisoner’s body, releasing a special electric current that even the toughest warrior could not withstand.
However, apart from the initial muffled hum in the confessional room, there was only the sound of strong electricity, and the faint smell of burning air could be smelled.
“Torturer, increase the level of whipping.”
Serkes urged with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
This is the latest torture technology of the Inquisition. I applied for it for a long time before it was approved, hoping to use it to unearth evidence of heresy hidden by Titus.
This torture technique is said to have never failed.
There was once a Chapter Master who burst into tears under torture and revealed all the secrets of the heresy.
The torturer looked at the patient prisoner Titus and swallowed:
“Sir, this is already the highest flogging power. If you continue to strengthen the machine, it will be damaged…”
“Then extend the time until the mechanical limit is reached.”
I don’t know how much time passed.
The initial physical whipping finally ended, and the machine emitted sparks from time to time, as if it was overloaded.
“Serkes…”
Titus’ body was covered in blood. He slowly raised his head, his eyes still firm and not as distracted as other warriors.
“Titus, you don’t have to hide yourself.”
Serkes stared at the stubborn prisoner, frowning: “This is the confession room. You must confess your crimes. You must know that I will not pity anyone, nor will I blame myself or regret.
Tell me everything you know…”
“I have told everything I know, hundreds of times. You can see all the interrogation records, but you still don’t believe me.”
Titus’s voice became hoarse: “I am a descendant of the Ultimate Prime, and no corruption or temptation can make me deviate from the path of glory.
Of course, I’d love to tell you everything over and over again…”
He looked directly at the person in front of him: “But all this must come to an end, Judge.”
Serkes took a step back involuntarily under this gaze.
When the inquisitor realized his fear, he became more and more angry: “Titus, let go of your mind and accept psychic interrogation!”
The sarcophagus was raised, and a psyker in charge of the interrogation knelt in it, with dense mechanical circuits connected to the back of his head to enhance the amplitude of his psychic powers.
That was a high-level psychic interrogator from the Star Territory Headquarters.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Buzz~
White frost appeared around the stone official, the psychic’s eyes turned completely white, and a burst of psychic energy rushed towards the prisoner in front.
Titus fully accepted all of this and allowed psychic energy to invade his brain. He had nothing to hide.
Sirkes took a deep breath: “Yes, that’s it, the psyker, digging into the fears in his heart and digging out the deepest secrets.”
That spiritual energy invaded the depths of Titus’s consciousness and touched the most tenacious will deep in his consciousness.
In addition, there are mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and the purest anger.
This is a horrific interrogation method that leaves no room for escape and can cause extreme pain to the person being tortured.
Even turning into an idiot under the onslaught of psykers is not impossible.
Titus endured the pain, white soul light erupted from his eyes and mouth, and his consciousness was in a trance.
“In the name of the Emperor, tell me everything. Are you suspected of heresy and treason? Why are you not affected by the warp?”
Sirkes asked.
Titus subconsciously replied: “No, I am not a heretic and rebellious. I will not blaspheme the glory for anything, even the chaos of subspace!”
This was not the answer the judge wanted, so he changed the interrogation method.
“Are you afraid?”
“Yes.”
“What is your deepest fear?”
“I’m afraid of failure.”
“Do you long for more power and rewards, the power of the subspace?”
“Salvation is my reward.”
“**, what the hell!”
Serkes realized that this answer was the oath of the Ultramarines. Others were numb and gritted their teeth: “Tell me your most unknown secret!”
“There are no secrets.”
“You must have violated your oath of loyalty!”
“No, I am sworn to serve forever.”
However, before Sirkes could continue to ask, something changed suddenly.
“ah!!!”
The psyker seemed to see some kind of terrifying and endless demon, and then he screamed violently, then twitched and fell down.
He was unable to face the horror Titus had experienced and reach the deepest part of his mind.
The psychic interrogation also terminated.
“hateful!”
Serkes was knocked to the ground by the spilled spiritual energy, and was in a very embarrassed state.
He climbed up: “Put the prisoner back in custody, Titus, and I will find the secrets hidden deep in your heart!”
This incident has almost become his inner demon.
Sirkes decided to go to Holy Terra and look for someone who could interrogate this heretic and traitor at the headquarters of the Inquisition.
However, as soon as he walked out of the cell, he received an urgent message:
The Grand Master of the Inquisition Sector Headquarters personally came to this remote monitoring station and asked him to report some information.
The judge immediately tidied up his appearance and went to see that highly respected being.
Stasis in prison.
The scarred Titus stared at the empty wall in front of him, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Since being imprisoned, he has not received any news from his battle brothers, and no one has come to visit him.
Perhaps, his actions did bring shame to his identity and the noble Ultramarines.
He is not worthy of the name and glory of the war group.
Titus clenched his fists, and even the shackles on his body creaked.
In fact, as long as you are willing, you can break free from the shackles and take out this cage at any time, and no one can stop you.
But he didn’t do that.
This extreme warrior clearly realized that it was some kind of temptation or conspiracy, once he crossed that boundary.
There will be no turning back.
Suddenly, a whisper appeared in Titus’ mind, hoarse and full of blood:
“Titus, you are the strongest warrior and deserve fairer treatment. You should fight for your freedom.
You deserve more glory than cowardly staying in a cage and being dealt with. Only by getting out can you prove your innocence, right? “
It was an invitation from the messenger of the evil god. His voice was exactly like Titus himself, like another personality.
“Shut up.”
Titus did not waver at all, and his eyes became colder: “Devil, I will find you, and you will see my anger.”
“Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie.”
The ugly demon laughed gloomily and was about to try to taunt and anger the warrior: “Titus…”
But the next moment.
He heard the shuddering sound of steel rubbing against the ground.
The demon turned his head hurriedly and saw a boy with blood on his face and dragging a chainsword.
The boy came quickly dragging a sword blade that was almost as tall as himself, his body expanding and changing with the pace.
When he stood in front of the demon, he was already the tall form of Titus, his eyes filled with anger.
“No!”
The demon turned around and tried to escape, but was grabbed and dragged into the darkness behind him.
After that, there was a fierce scream from the heretic demon, and the broken tentacle limbs flew out, silently.
The demon failed to invade and died deep in Titus’ consciousness.
In a certain area, the blood-red figure cast more glances, seeming very happy.
But couldn’t get any response.
The stasis cell returned to peace, as it had for a century.
…
Surveillance station reception room.
Sirkes walked respectfully into the hall to meet the being.
Although the Tribunal does not have rigid level restrictions, those leaders or managers still have great power and can decide the fate of ordinary Inquisitors.
He hopes to get more authority to complete his ideal mission.
But it didn’t take long.
Sirkes’ disbelieving scream came from the hall: “Impossible, Titus is a heretic and rebellious, how could he get such an honor?”
“Correct your words, Inquisitor.”
The great instructor was quite stern and his tone was somewhat dissatisfied:
“Titus can’t be a heretic and rebellious. The highest-level order was personally issued by the Terran Tribunal headquarters. Even the Tribunal representatives of our star region asked me for help.
Release that loyal warrior immediately, and I will personally take him to Holy Terra to meet the Lord of the Tribunal. “
Serkes lowered his head under the scrutiny of the Grand Master: “Yes, I will release Titus, but I still firmly believe that he is suspected of being a heretic.”
“That’s not something you’re qualified to take care of anymore. Fulfill your responsibilities.”
The Grand Master walked towards the prison area, leaving only Sirkes standing there in a daze.
…
In the stasis cell.
The cell door opened, and a dazzling light shone in.
Titus squinted his eyes slightly, feeling a little tired: “Are we going to have another interrogation? When will this shame end?”
Click.
All the shackles were released, and the force field of the cage disappeared.
He fell from mid-air to the ground and stood firm. The sharp-edged muscles on his body, which were made of steel, undulated with his breathing.
The Grand Master flipped through Titus’s interrogation materials, and his eyes flashed with emotion:
“Titus, your loyalty has been proven. From now on you are free. Follow me.”
He motioned for Titus to follow him and leave.
Serkes looked at the empty prison, still unable to accept it: “Emperor, how could he be favored by that existence.
This must be a mistake! “
However, there were footsteps behind him. They were the high-ranking judges who came with the Grand Master.
They need to confirm something.
Since Titus is a loyal being, it is necessary to investigate the Inquisitor Sirkes who imprisoned him.
See if he has any traces of betraying the empire.
Soon, Serkes’s screams were heard from the prison, so shrill and shrill.
It was a psychic interrogation.
The fear and darkness hidden in his heart will have nowhere to hide, leading to investigation and trial.
The Grand Master was flipping through the information, constantly operating and replying to certain messages: “Titus, all your previous disgraceful records have been deleted from the file.
You still get all the glory, instead of carrying the shameful identity. “
Titus felt the cold floor beneath his feet, feeling dazed for a moment.
The redemption that I had been waiting so hard for came so suddenly.
Originally, he thought that even if he could get out of the cage, he would carry this humiliation and fight for the Emperor as Black Shield.
Until death.
He suddenly asked: “Why?”
“Soldier, please stop asking me.”
The Grand Master also had a hint of doubt: “I only know that the entire empire’s alien tribunal is looking for you now. Hundreds of thousands of astrological messages are being transmitted everywhere, and millions of people are looking for your information and past.
That is the highest order. “
He looked at Titus: “Tell me, what do you need now?”
“fighting.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor, that will happen later. We have to go to Holy Terra first. You can’t go like this…”
