Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords! - Chapter 519

“Captain, as a member of the Imperial Charter Fleet traveling on a fixed route, you’d better have a reasonable explanation for your unreasonable detour on your way to Tarentus.”

“Listen – this is because I am avoiding the Tau Empire’s blockade. According to the route warning issued by the Imperial Fleet,

I had to change course at short notice. “The captain’s expression did not change, he still stroked his fluffy and straight beard, and gave a reason that seemed very real.

“Near Tarentus is where the main squadron of the Gothic Fleet is currently located. It is impossible for you to receive an early warning from the Imperial Fleet, because there is no possibility of large-scale activities of the alien fleet in the surrounding area.”

“Gothic Fleet? Haha, Captain, the Gothic Sector is thousands of miles away from here. How can there be ships from the Gothic Fleet here?”

Horatio stood still and looked at the captain expressionlessly.

“Then you must not have read my letter of appointment carefully, sir.” Those blue eyes stared straight at the man, as if questioning and penetrating into his soul: “I am the naval captain from the Gothic Fleet. “

“Well – you are from the Gothic Fleet?” The captain was stunned for a moment, then stammered and rubbed his hands, trying to ease the embarrassment: “I – I really didn’t know that the Gothic Fleet was here, but I assure you that I have received risk warnings before.”

“I’ll be checking your communications on the bridge. You’d better have what I want to see.”

Horatio didn’t listen to the man’s explanation and went straight to the merchant ship’s navigation bridge.

This is an ordinary Imperial bell-class merchant ship, one of countless sisters of the same model.

There are not many crew members on the bridge. Like most charter fleets that pursue profit margins, the captain in front of him obviously chose to operate this huge void while trying his best to reduce costs.

The bridge’s defense force consists of mercenaries.

Their origins are mixed, some of them were gangsters not long ago, and some of them may have been involved in piracy, as can be seen from their unruly and spiky outfits and experienced gun-carrying postures.

Seeing people from the Imperial Navy approaching, they leaned against the bulkhead in a carefree posture as always, with only slightly restrained warning and repulsion in their eyes.

Leidos walked past a row of merchant ship guards. One of them stood up without warning and bumped into his shoulder hard, seemingly unintentionally.

Because of the captain’s inspection mission, he just glared at the other party, secretly exerted force on his shoulders, and pushed away the other party, “Huh, ha!”

“tui!”

Apparently, his counterattack displeased the hired guard.

After he passed by, the guard spat on the deck, landing accurately on the edge of his shoes, and the spit splashed on Leidos’s trouser legs.

Leidos clenched and unclenched his fists. Finally, he turned around in an instant, clenched his front teeth, and punched the ignorant guy in the face with an iron fist.

The two instantly struggled with each other.

Hearing a commotion behind them, Horatio and the merchant captain turned around.

Seeing that one of our own officers was involved in the fight, the jump gang members not far away immediately loaded their shotguns and approached at a fast pace.

“What’s going on?”

“Captain, these scoundrels dare to make trouble for our Imperial Navy! They are really brave!”

“Is your man seriously ill?! Shipowner, how dare these gangsters bring trouble to the Imperial Navy!” Horatio frowned, pointing directly at the merchant shipowner and asked,

“Calm down, my lord! Please calm down. These guards like me are rough men. They died at some point before they washed their hands and went ashore.

Normally, regional civilian ships like ours have no experience in dealing with the navy, so please don’t get along with these rotten people.

Please come here, let’s go to the official hall to have a chat, let the servants entertain you well, I will give you enough compensation for the offense committed by my subordinates, please don’t remember the faults of the villain——”

[Even if they are a group of gang members and former pirates, how dare they blatantly cause trouble for a naval officer——hiss. “The more Horatio thought about it, the more wrong he became.

If this argument does not convince the opponent of the sanctity of the navy, then macro-guns and heavily armed sailors will usually suffice. Even if the navy beat up the mercenary, it would not be the other party’s turn to fight back, let alone take the initiative to pick a fight with a naval officer.

This move is illogical, unless they are looking for something trivial to distract themselves from and hide something they are dealing with urgently.

“Ledos, take someone to watch them. The others follow me!”

Horatio pushed the captain who tried to lure him away and strode straight to the bridge.

His military boots made a thumping sound as he stepped on the deck, and he soon rushed to the ship owner’s command platform.

I saw only the first mate and the second mate in luxurious clothes, busy tinkering with something on the command platform.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“I order you to leave the console! Now!” Horatio drew out his bolt pistol and pointed it at them and gave a stern order.

“Sir, we are just————·maintaining the normal operation of the ship.”

“Don’t make me say it a second time!” Horatio walked closer quickly and happened to see the characters on the display console.

‘Deleting—·’

He quickly stretched out the dendrite from his iron hand, preparing to intervene in the display console.

“Sir——” Upon seeing this, the first mate’s tense face showed fluctuations, and he was ready to step forward to stop him.

But the second officer put his hands behind his back.

When the dendrites intervened in the console, the machine soul of the machine obeyed Horatio’s order in time with the power of the machine soul affinity and terminated the clearing program.

Although some things were permanently deleted, there were still half of them left.

“I order you to open these files to be deleted.” Horatio stared at the other party and pointed the gun at the first mate’s head and ordered.

“These are trade secrets. I don’t have this authority. Please understand.” The first mate stammered with sweat.

“You don’t have the authority, but I definitely have full authority to check.” Horatio’s free hand manipulated the console and opened the files that were not deleted layer by layer.

Like peeling an onion, the deeper you peel, the more sweat on the foreheads of the first and second mates.

“Captain, this is just—.” The first mate trembled as he spoke, and the more he tried to explain, the more he stuttered-he was almost unable to make up a story.

Finally, Horatio opened one of the transmission copies, which contained a string of characters that were only simply encrypted. It didn’t take him long to successfully decipher the content: We have discovered an imperial pilgrimage ship, and I think you will be interested. After the matter is accomplished, we only want the gold and wealth on it. ’

A string of assembly coordinates was attached, and the location of the coordinates was almost exactly the same as the location of the “Pure White Mayflower” before the attack.

Seeing this, the second mate suddenly pulled out a pistol from his back and pointed it directly at Horatio’s forehead.

Bang!

Ji!

A wisp of green smoke floated from the muzzle of Farida’s military supervisor’s grenade gun.

When Horatio took out his gun just now, she had already vigilantly taken out the grenade pistol and loaded it. While checking the documents, she kept watching the small movements of several people. Only when the other party raised his hand, she did not hesitate to use the grenade to turn the second mate’s head into a very warning biomass.

Lower cargo ship.

Bang!

A dull gunshot came from upstairs.

Thei, who was walking alone in the cargo hold to check, looked towards the bridge with some curiosity, frowned slightly, and took out his defense pistol from his arms.

Although the cargo here is fine, the gunshots are obviously something wrong.

“What are you doing! “

Bang! Bang!

The sailors who were keeping a distance from the merchant ship fought with the mercenaries inside. Thanks to the good protection,

good diet, and the small team inspection, they reacted quickly when faced with the surprise attack and shot the mercenary who tried to draw his gun first.

Thei turned around and saw two mercenaries rushing towards her with laser guns in their hands. She raised her hand and shot one of them in the chest armor. The hexagonal high-stopping-power ammunition instantly penetrated the thin bulletproof chest armor and opened a big hole in the flesh behind it.

Without waiting for the other person to raise his gun, Thei ran away.

A beam of laser light Arriving late, the gunshot left a small burnt hole in the cargo container.

After all, she had just checked this area, and Tei remembered the route around here, so she was very efficient in escaping.

As long as she could run to where the sailors were—·—

Bang!

She collided head-on with the mercenary who had jumped out of the corner.

Both of them fell to the ground, and their defensive pistols fell to the ground and slid to the side.

The mercenary saw the girl, or more precisely, the bright red rose on her chest first, and his eyes widened.

“You must die today, Inquisitor. Only one of us can survive, and that person must be me!” The mercenary rushed forward with a malicious look in his eyes, drew his knife and rushed over.

Tei reacted very quickly, rolling to the side to avoid the blade.

“Still want to run! “

The mercenary immediately turned and rushed towards her.

The sharp knife stabbed her neck.

In the emergency, Thei curled up, raised her knees and used her protective knees to hold the opponent, stretched out her hand to grab the wrist of the knife-wielding hand, and raised her other hand to stab the mercenary’s throat with her fingers.

“Ah!” The strong man was stabbed by the little woman and vomited blood, but the knife-wielding hand did not stop.

Thei recovered her breath, used her knees to push the opponent away, and then wrapped around her like a snake, using her strong flexibility to drill out from her armpits and go around behind the opponent.

“Ah! What? !”

Successfully drilled behind the opponent, using the opponent’s joints that could not resist, the young inquisitor twisted his wrist.

“Ah!” With a scream, the sharp knife fell on the deck.

Thei’s arm strangled the enemy’s throat like a small python.

“Go to hell. “

The mercenary exerted force suddenly, trying to break free.

Bang!

Thei pressed his head and slammed it to the ground.

“Wow!” The mercenary’s nostrils gushed blood, his eyes were full of stars, and his face turned purple and red due to lack of oxygen.

Thei suddenly raised her head and saw the mercenary who had been chasing her rushing towards her with a bayonet.

“Go to hell, you lackey of the corpse king!” The other party shouted with spit flying.

Thei picked up the combat dagger from the ground, weighed it twice, and threw it forward with the sharp blade.

Poof!

The sharp knife went straight into the center of the eyebrows, not reaching the handle.

After solving the threat in front of her, Thei looked down with bright eyes, and her slender hands wearing riding leather gloves moved deftly.

Gada.

The mercenary who attacked her was “gently” dislocated in an instant,

She patted the dust on her hands and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

“Miss Thei, are you okay?” The sailors came to her side only after she had solved the danger alone.

“First of all, I am an inquisitor.” Thei put away her defensive pistol and walked past the sailors: “Secondly, I am a woman.

She turned her head and said coldly: “Why are you still standing there? Go to the bridge. I already know what these people are doing.”

“Yes – Your Excellency the Inquisitor!”
