"This is too outrageous. I thought that guy from Tyrone Galaxy would at least be a little secretive, like assassination or something... This kind of behavior of directly knocking people to death in public without even leaving a decent body is really... ..." Oded's expression was complicated, and he looked at Judge Ellen sitting next to him as if asking for help.
Ellen's expression was also very complicated. It was obvious that such an unabashed act of excluding dissidents was far beyond his expectations, and even far beyond the expectations of some of the higher-ups in the Tribunal.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Ellen suppressed a sentence: "The sky is high, the gods are far away, man."
"Won't he be punished by the entire empire for this?" Oude pointed to the guard in the video, and the person he mentioned was naturally Qin Mo.
"Otherwise, why am I here? Why do I appear next to you?" Ellen asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Oded suddenly smiled and nodded silently. Ellen had already confessed his identity and purpose to him, and he naturally had great trust in Ellen.
Ellen came to the vicinity of the Tyrone Galaxy after Horst and the other three Inquisitors left. He fully absorbed the lessons of his predecessors and did not go directly to the Tyrone Galaxy. Instead, he waited for opportunities as a lurker.
As long as people in the galaxies around Tyrone have a little understanding of the current situation, they all know that the Lord of Tyrone intends to extend his hand out of the Tyrone galaxy.
And Ellen's mission is also very simple, which is to destroy the Lord of Tyrone's strategy as much as possible.
However, even though Oded knew the purpose of the inquisitor, he did not understand what the inquisitor was thinking and what kind of differences there were within the inquisition...
In the end, Oded sought the answer with a tactful question: "Judge Ellen...can you tell me who sent you here?"
"Lord Karamazov." Ellen said bluntly.
"Ah." Oded suddenly realized it and nodded repeatedly with his chin raised, "No wonder."
Oded knew very little about the Inquisition. He had only heard about a few inquisitors who went to the Tyrone system in passing. Another inquisitor he had heard of was Karamazov.
This is a very extreme character who dares to confront the state religion.
After seeing Oude's look as if he had the word "reassured" written on his face, Ellen thought about it and finally made up her mind to remind him: "I was told one thing clearly when I received the order, that is to prevent Governor Tyrone will integrate surrounding systems, but he must not take the initiative to trigger armed conflicts..."
"I understand, Judge Ellen, I understand." Oded interrupted Ellen's warning, "I have a hundred ways to do it, but I'm afraid that Governor Tyrone will not follow the rules and send people to kill other people. Kill me just the same."
Ellen raised her hand to signal Oded to listen to him first, and comforted him after he calmed down: "Your life will never be taken away by others. The guarding power I can provide you is..."
Ellen originally wanted to talk about all the people he brought here, but he felt it was unnecessary. In the end, he only mentioned a part of the guard's strength: "Ten monks from the Minotaur Chapter, you know, they are with The relationship with the high lord is very good.”
"Then I'm relieved." Oude breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, while also thinking about the next plan.
After thinking for a long time, Oude said his plan in a deep voice: "I plan to agree with Governor Tyrone on the surface first, and then privately send a letter to the governors who are against integration like me, and then invite them to find a safe place to keep it secret. Let’s negotiate, there is no future if we go it alone.”
"Smart move." Ellen smiled and nodded.
……
Three days later.
While the Imperial Guards were removing obstacles to their plan to integrate the Tailong Star Region, Qin Mo was taking the most critical steps of this plan.
More intelligence will be manufactured in batches, then put into a living metal body made for it, and then a layer of bionic material skin will be attached.
The names of these artificial beings are stone men, which is the same name as the biochemical artificial men in the golden age of human species in the past, and the functions of stone men and iron men in the Tyrone sector are similar to those in the golden age.
Stonemen will be assigned to a total of fifty-five worlds in the entire star sector to manage all the population and everything on the planet.
To the Governor, who obeys the plans for the integration of the Tyrone Sector, the Stonemen are assistants, humble but responsible assistants in all matters large and small.
To the opponents, the stone men were the new governors to take their place.
Just as Qin Mo was making the stone man himself, Gray suddenly came to the underground cave.
Seeing that Qin Mo was busy, Gray didn't bother him and just waited silently.
"These creations will turn the fifty-five worlds in the entire star region into the same as Tailong." Qin Mo said while manipulating the metal to come together to shape the body of the stone man.
Gray thought for a moment and said: "That means the existing force and productivity are doubled by more than ten times?"
"More than ten times? Dozens of times!" Qin Mo was very excited. "It's not Tyrone Galaxy plus Tyrone Galaxy, but Tyrone Galaxy times Tyrone Galaxy. This is not an arithmetic problem where one plus one equals two."
Gray nodded silently, but was not very excited, because he had another thing to report: "There is a governor named Oude who is working against you, and he is purchasing armaments for other galaxies everywhere. Because he had a good attitude before. , I and the other guards did not list him as a target for execution."
"He had a good attitude before. How did you find out that he was acting against his will?" Qin Mo asked.
"I found letters from a previously executed governor, letters about buying arms, but this was not enough to prove the governor's guilt. Maybe he just didn't feel safe, so he bought weapons... Then I went to the place where Oude ruled. The hive world has investigated." Gray said, handing the letter and a few photos to Qin Mo.
The content of the letter is about the acquisition of weapons.
The content in the photos is more interesting.
A bald middle-aged man wearing coarse cloth looked like a civilian, and this civilian was actually arranging for ten Astartes to set up defenses in the manor.
The bull's head symbol on the power armor of the ten Astartes indicated that they were from the Minotaur Chapter.
"Alas." Qin Mo sighed briefly after reading the letter and photos, and thought for a long time with some tiredness before finally making a decision, "If we had just left the nest, I might have bargained with these people, but now I I really don’t have the leisure time.”
Gray nodded, turned and left: "Give me two hours."
Chapter 158 Star God Champion and Astartes
……
After one hour.
Gray had arrived at the hive world where Oded was. He was teleported directly to the top of the tower. After the teleportation, he rushed towards the manor where the governor was located at extremely fast speeds.
On the way he had quickly thought of a strategy.
Rush directly into the manor where Oded is and kill him.
As for those Astartes whose chapter emblem is a bull's head... they cannot be killed unless necessary.
Perhaps they are of noble character like the Astartes of the Lamenters Chapter, and they come to protect a Governor simply to complete a mission.
While Gray was thinking, he had already arrived outside the manor where Oded was, and then conducted a meticulous scan.
There are more than a thousand people in the manor. The ten Astartes we saw before are scattered in the manor. They are fully armed and stand at the entrance of the building, as motionless as statues.
Oded is on the third underground floor of the manor, sleeping soundly.
The bald man captured in the photo was right next to Ode, looking up documents.
In addition to the Astartes, there are various garrison forces throughout the manor, including guards wearing force feedback armor and sentry logging guns connected to human head wet parts.
There are also various weapons hidden in the walls and mezzanines inside and outside the building.
After observing, Gray chose to sneak in. He quickly entered the manor and nimbly avoided every patrol.
The ten Astartes guarding the entrance were alert to everything in front of them, their vision analyzed and marked by Gray's bioprocessor.
There are no blind spots.
There was no other way, so Gray could only turn on bullet time, just like he had done when evading patrols when he went to the nest, and try to sneak in at extremely fast speeds.
The moment bullet time is turned on, the spine releases nerve-stimulating chemicals. The biological processor in Gray's brain enters an overload state to process the sudden increase in nerve signals in a short period of time. Everything in his field of vision becomes extremely slow.
Gray rushed towards an open window at full speed at a speed that could be considered anxious in bullet time. He jumped into it and rolled on the spot. After successfully entering the building, he immediately rushed towards the underground part where Oded was. go.
At this time, an Astartes guarding the main entrance turned to look at the battle brother beside him.
The two had a very tacit understanding and understood each other's thoughts in an instant.
One person thought he saw a shadow running past. He was not sure whether it was an enemy, but he felt it was based on experience.
The other naturally thinks that the battle brothers will not look at themselves for no reason. Judging from the current mission and environment, there must be something wrong.
"Come and guard here!"
The two Astartes gave orders to the patrol that had just passed by, then turned around and rushed into the building together.
……
Half a minute later.
Gray moved forward quickly in the corridor. A perspective model of the entire building was displayed in his field of vision. The bioprocessor marked the only entrance to the underground in his field of vision, so as to save Gray the time to find the way.
Bioprocessors are still scanning and hacking every weapon in the vicinity.
As Gray speeds past walls in corridors, some will open and wetware-controlled sentry lumberguns will be pushed out, but these lumberguns all have their muzzles pointed downward and are not activated.
Including some hidden detection devices in the corridor, they were also not activated, and Gray was allowed to pass by.
Gray stopped when his eyes could see the entrance to the underground.
After another scanning wave spread out, ten tall and strong silhouettes appeared in Gray's field of vision. He saw ten Astartes approaching him quickly from all directions of the building.
The next second a string of explosive bombs was shot from the right wall.
The gravity shield opened instantly, intercepting and crushing the explosive bombs.
More bombs followed, sometimes behind you, sometimes behind walls, sometimes even from the ceiling.
Every bolt was intercepted, but the ten Astartes continued to fire, continuing to circle behind walls or various obstacles.
Gray instantly recalled that before the people in the Inquisition had left, he had asked Foros for advice on how to fight against the Astartes.
Foros said that if it were him, he would test it out first to see what your weapons and equipment are and what trump cards you have... In short, remember one sentence, the longer the time goes on, the more dangerous it will be.
After a memory flashed back in his brain, Gray immediately took action. He raised his right hand and released shotgun lasers at the surrounding rooms, and raised his left hand to pull an Astartes down from the ceiling.
The Astartes who was dragged down found that there was no ice around him and the temperature did not drop at all. This showed that the power that pulled him down from the air was not psychic. He finished his unnecessary thinking in an instant, and then took out a melt bomb from his back.
Gray immediately clenched his left hand, twisted and squeezed the Astartes' helmet until he fainted silently, and the melta bomb in his hand fell to the ground.
After paying the price of one person being injured, the remaining nine Astartes were almost done testing and quickly adjusted their battle strategies.
This time, no explosive shells flew out from behind the wall. Gray saw four enemies running staggered and approaching him quickly. When he was about to call the shoulder cannon to fire, three grenades flew out from behind him.
The shoulder cannon quickly rotated towards the grenades and fired two of them one after another, and the third bomb fell on the ground.
Gray turned around with the shoulder cannon, and a line of prompts immediately appeared next to the grenade in his field of vision: electromagnetic pulse bomb.
The bomb instantly released a strong electromagnetic pulse, and various electronic equipment on the first floor were instantly damaged. Gray, who was located at the center of the explosion, naturally received the strongest electromagnetic pulse. Fortunately, the various modified components of the Guards Power Armor and the Guards were designed From the beginning, the ability to defend against electromagnetic pulses was considered, and anti-interference coatings were added.
Gray's bioprocessor and other modified components were not affected. The HUD on the guard's power armor visor flashed a few times, and the integrity of the power armor displayed in the field of vision fluctuated, but it soon returned to normal.
"That's it, it's not worth getting hurt for this governor!" Gray shouted to the Astartes.
Gray's response was only bombs flying out from all directions and more electromagnetic pulse bombs.
The shoulder cannon quickly turned and fired a few bombs, but it still failed to prevent more bombs from exploding. Electromagnetic pulses swept towards Gray one after another.
Then the nine Astartes who were fighting saw something from various positions, or heard something from their battle brothers - the gravity readings around the guards were normal.
More bombs flew towards Gray. Four Astartes were shooting and charging alternately in the corridor. Two more Astartes crashed out of the wall behind Gray, stabbing out their daggers while charging forward. .
Gray controlled the shoulder cannon to shoot a torrent of energy at the legs of the four Astartes rushing forward, and then turned around to deal with the two behind him who were preparing to attack at close range.
