  Chapter 547 The Rise of the Lion King: The Hidden War

  The prison cage was hung on the outer wall, shaking in the biting cold wind. Among them, those already withered corpses sat in the cage, with their legs stretched out, hanging in the air, and below was the abyss.

This is simply an extreme torture. If you sit here, you will die, and if you fall, you will die. The only way to survive is to go back to the fortress behind you. However, based on the screams coming from it, I don’t think I should go back. as well.

The piercing screams echoed in the rocky corridors of the Black Fortress, and in every prison hidden in the rocky walls. The blood that had dried up had clotted on the torture tools, the blades and spikes were covered with black blood, and there was a skull Put it on the table, while his lower body is leaning against the cage on the side.

  The skeleton held a glass of wine in its arms, and it looked like it had a good meal before it died, but it should have been a long time ago, after all, you see he has become very naked, and the bottle is also covered with thick dust.

   And behind him, between the two hanging braziers burning on the wall, the owner of this place has already been revealed. There is a scarlet i letter on the wall.

  The black prison of the Inquisition stands on the cliffs and cliffs, of course there is, do you expect that there is no secret base of the Inquisition on that planet, and their site agents? Ah, then you may be thinking too much. According to my experience, most planets, even the ones where everything goes well, will have rumors of secret activities of the Inquisition. Good luck, because those who replace the Inquisition Chamber's activities here are generally not particularly pleasing.

The fire light flickered on the wall, and then reflected on the skeleton's body. Suddenly, the flickering fire light was blocked by a shadow, and a figure appeared in front of him, raised his hands unsteadily, and bowed to him. bow.

"Your Majesty, Vito Constantine, is the judge, would you mind lending me a sip of your wine?" Vito said, looking at the headless skeleton with a smile, he shrugged, "I As long as you agree."

He bent down and pulled the wine bottle out of the skeleton's hand, with one of his hands attached, "You're welcome, you don't have to give it to me yourself." Vito said as he pulled it away and took a sip. The dusty wine bottle staggered along the corridor of the prison where the brazier was burning.

With his swaying body, he kept jumping around under the surrounding firelight, taking photos of the prisoners who had long died in the cells on both sides and were changing from mummified corpses to skeletons. ?"

   Vito said and came to a door at the end. He swayed back with the wine glass, then leaned back, and randomly ordered some broadcasts on the side interface, but the door never opened.

He looked at the door and shook it, and then saw the skeleton leaning against the door of the cage. He reached out to grab his hand, pulled the skeleton's hand off, and swung the severed hand on the door panel After knocking casually a few times, the door really made a ticking sound.

   "I knew you must know the password, thank you." Vito said, inserting the skeleton's hand back, but the force was a bit too strong, and the skeleton fell apart accidentally.

After the door opened, Vito took a sip from his wine glass and walked in. He wobbled to the back of the handrail, and looked at Bell, Eisenstein, Loken and Sexos below. Turning his head and looking at Vito, the latter raised his wine glass high, took a step towards the side steps, and then stepped on the ground, a skeleton rolled over from the cage outside the door, and then fell down .

Bell and the others watched him roll down the arc from the top of the stairs, and finally landed on the ground at the bottom. Vito raised one hand, holding the wine bottle tenaciously in that hand, "I'm fine, It was just an accident."

Loken and Serksos looked at each other, and then watched Vito get up, holding the wine glass and staggered to the side, stepped quickly and bumped into the table on the side, and he drank again. After taking a sip of the wine, he put it on the table, "This wine must have expired."

As he said, he raised his head and looked at the four space warriors who looked at him strangely. They were obviously thinking about what to say in the face of his "accident" just now. South just said a word, "Good morning, Marshal."

"Good morning, Sirksos, and Loken, and... the big guy." Vito said, looking at Eisenstein wearing the Terminator, staring meaningfully for a long time before saying, Eisenstein tilted his head Eyebrows, "Are you sure, this can listen to any slightly more complicated questions?"

"Yes, why can't, I was the one who overwhelmed Russ with drinking, and with the addition of Ferrus, he was able to overturn the green skin normally the next day." Vito said, leaning on the table and sweeping his hands over it, He knocked over a lot of bottles, cans, and knives, causing the whole room to jingle, then grabbed a glass of water, or took a sip of another glass of wine, then turned around and leaned on the table.

"Tell me, Don, what have you discovered these days?" Vito said in a shaky tone, Eisenstein turned his head and looked at Bell, who shrugged helplessly, then Eisenstein turned his head and looked again go back.

"In the past few days, we have visited and investigated the local armed forces, the Planetary Defense Force, the Special Service Team of the Ministry of Justice, and the National Church suspected of violating the "Religion Agreement". Those who do not have much influence in these units, they are mainly distributed among gangs, radical student groups and social dissidents in the city."

"Since ancient times, rebels have always been this group of people, but it seems that at least we have good news, and we don't have to worry about being shot in the back, right?" Vito leaned on the table with a smile, just trying to stand up , and then swayed and leaned back.

Eisenstein looked at him who was "wise and foolish", and shook his head, "No, it's a pity that you are going to be disappointed. Although the Tau tribe has little influence among the Defense Force and the rest of the armed forces, it doesn't mean that they will, after the conflict breaks out, Stand firmly on the side of the Empire."

"So, what do you mean, there are other guys in this bunch who don't like us very much? Let me guess, there are people who don't like the Empire and think that old **** is a fool, mutants, separatists , local bureaucrats with ulterior motives, and heretics, plus"

"Chaos Heretics." Bell suddenly interjected, Vito looked at him and smiled, took a sip of the glass of unknown liquid, and then smiled easily, as if, that was simpler than the Tau's problem Like, but it might be true.

   "Yes, local products, every world has them, so here are full of local products that want to treat the emperor as air-dried bacon, and prepare to turn us into air-dried bacon, and then hang them up."

   "Yes." After Eisenstein's simple answer, Vito stood up and held up four fingers in front of him, "Let me guess, the main believer here is the wheelchair half-paralyzed red-skinned giant?"

Vito looked at Loken, he shook his head, Vito put away one finger, and looked at Serksos again, "The blue wriggling octopus?" Serksos also shook his head, Vito again Putting away another finger, he looked at Bell, "The one who is too overweight to move and giggle every day?" He got Bell's head shaking again.

Vito laughed, put away one finger, and now there is only one standing on his hand, he looked at Eisenstein with a smile, put that hand down, picked up the cup and took another sip , but the liquid in it was gone, and after throwing it away, I began to rummage on the table, and quickly found a glass of transparent liquid with a label on it.

   "My lord, that's medical alcohol." Bell reminded kindly, but Vito directly pushed it away, "I'm a Slav." He said a few sips into his mouth.

"I don't think there is anything to be happy about. The number of Slaanesh believers will be very large and difficult to be effectively eliminated. It may be more difficult than being forced to evolve from a war against aliens to a war against chaos heretics and even demons." war."

   Eisenstein said seriously, with such a stern look, "Most of the forces on the planet are mortals at present. If it evolves into a chaos war, I am afraid they will not be reliable."

"Mortal?" Vito asked back, calming down the atmosphere. Eisenstein glanced at the brothers around him who were also casting hesitant glances, and then fell silent for a moment, "Humans, ordinary people, with all due respect, my lord, in the past It seems that simply relying on the Astral Army cannot fight against demons, and their spiritual defense is not enough to face the challenge."

Everyone understands what Eisenstein means. Most ordinary people will be corrupted just by taking a look at a demon. As for the Astral Army, even if they have been through battles for a long time, they can hardly be called absolutely reliable. Instances of rebellion are therefore common, even among the most reliable units.

   Therefore, the space fighters do not believe in mortal troops. Most of them, like Eisenstein, maintain suspicion and vigilance, and even wipe out those mortal troops that have fought against demons after the battle.

After a long time, Loken spoke up, intending to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Brother Eisenstein is right, even if we don't consider other issues, the current Valhalla Legion only has eight regiments, and there is a serious lack of navy and heavy weapons. Support, most of the follow-on forces are still on the way, disturbed by the Warp."

   "And this is even more suspicious. Most of the troops have been blocked outside, so if the followers of Slaanesh here launch a rebellion and summon demons, Damocles will be doomed to fall."

   "Loken is right. Neither the Valhalla nor the local loyal defense force can stop the incoming wave of demonic invasion. And we only have five people, even if we add the Heavenly Blade."

Bell stopped in the middle of his speech. He knew that he almost said the use of iron men just now, and any human being knows the horror of hating intelligence, not to mention, if chaos corrupts those iron men, it will lead to even greater secondary disasters , then Damocles will not be the only one who will suffer.

   "Chaos won't be a problem, I'll fix it so they don't shoot the Tau noseless faces instead of our backs when we shoot at the blue-skinned aliens."

"How?" Eisenstein asked, but Vito didn't answer him. He just walked up with a half-smile, dragged medical alcohol in one hand, and walked over with a sway, "Okay, Gentlemen, I have my mission, and you have yours."

Vito walked up, came to Eisenstein and patted him on the chest, "Go find the giant rock, Helen will help, then go up and ask those guys what they are here for, and, if possible, bring They came to help, as Loken said, we are short of troops, and the space fighters are valuable support at any time."

"I can understand what you mean, but why me?" Eisenstein asked puzzledly, while Vito shrugged, "Maybe it's Dorn's son, who has a lot in common with Lawn's son, such as being strict, No sense of humour, no penchant for silence."

   "If Lancelot is here, that's good, he can follow and help Captain Eisenstein." "No, I don't think he can, but you can, take Bell with you."

Vito didn't give Bell a chance to ask anything, and came directly in front of Serksos and Loken. The two looked at him strangely, and the former held the edge of the bottle of medical alcohol with a few fingers in one hand. , shaking his head and looking at the two of them.

"Go and investigate the gathering places of local Chaos believers, clubs, bars and nightclubs. We have a professional from Chaos not long ago. He knows how to make the local believers believe that you are emissaries from the subspace. Yes, and tell me, don't rush to kill them all."

Vito looked at Serksos, who showed a strange expression, then Vito turned his head and pointed at Loken, "You go with him." "Why?" "Because of the two space warriors, Scarier than one, remember to paint the armor black."

After saying that, Vito took the alcohol and walked towards the stairs staggeringly. When passing by, he bent down and picked up the bone on the ground. After smelling it, he held it up and shook it, "Okay, let's go Well, the Emperor bless."

After saying that, Vito walked up the stairs. When he passed the door, he knocked on the button next to the door with the bone in his hand, and the door was closed immediately. The people behind the door whistled and walked away, leaving behind The four of them stared at each other in silence.

  Vito has a plan, but the problem is, they don't know, in fact they should be, no one can know, not even God.
