Warhammer 40k, but I’m really not an angelic father!

If this news is false, he will definitely sentence the person who spread the rumor to death, and any bad remarks involving the Father of Genes must be eliminated.

Looking at the person in front of him who was taller than himself, Malakin really didn't know what to say.

"Greetings, Chapter Master, thank you and your Chapter for coming to support Valentino. There's some serious trouble in the Lower Nest here."

"This is our duty. Can you tell me your name?"

Malakin now feels that it is really necessary to go back to Baal. This time, he must bring Dante over to meet the person in front of him. If it doesn't work, he will just send the person in front of him to Baal.

It's not like he hasn't seen someone very similar to Astarte before. Things like that kind of probability can be explained by science.

I have also seen someone who looks very similar to a certain chapter leader, and it can be explained by theology.

But the existence of this person who looked like the Primarch and was almost the same height as him, and who could make their gene-seeds tremble, could only be attributed to the power of the Emperor.

If anyone dares to tell me that this person in front of me has no connection with their dormant Primarch, then I will definitely hand that person over to the Flesh Tearers or the Blood Knights.

"My name is Sandales, Chapter Master. I know what you are thinking, but please allow me to solemnly explain that I am not him. He, burdened with honor, still slumbers upon Baal."

Let's not lie with our eyes open, okay?

Appearance cannot determine what a person is like, but the soul is different.

You have not undergone any regenerative surgery or genetic engineering, so how did you become so similar to our father in just a few months?

Moreover, gene seeds do not lie. Astartes' gene seeds will only throb when they are close to their genetic father.

What’s going on? Did the emperor give you a special buff?

Malakin also didn't understand why his inner thoughts seemed so active when he was talking to the person in front of him. He had never felt such excitement when exchanging combat experiences with the glorious Blood Angels Chapter Master Dante before.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. We will slowly investigate your identity later. First, please tell me what happened in Xiachao?"

The world is big, but the warp is the biggest. The most urgent task now is to deal with the troubles that the warp has brought to Valentino. As for bringing the person in front of him back to Baal, we will talk about it later.

Originally, he should have gone directly to the planetary governor to inquire about this matter, but when the people of the Holy Hammer Order told him that the upper nest was blocked by the planetary defense force, he realized that something seemed amiss.

Why does this sound like a coup? And someone is colluding with the subspace.

"If nothing unexpected happens, a traitor has emerged among Valentino's local nobles. They have established contact with the cultists hiding in Valentino, provided them with supplies and weapons, and blockaded the Sisters' Order, the State Religion, and the Governor's Building in the Upper Nest."

Sandiles nodded to the bailiff beside him, indicating that he should send Valedin to the state church in Zhongchao for medical treatment first. If he remembered correctly, there were medical nuns staying in the state church in Zhongchao.

"Why is Valedin so badly injured?"

As a chapter leader who once received a batch of extra precious supplies from Valadin, Malakin actually had a pretty good relationship with Valadin. He knew very well the combat capability of this guy Valadin, and the one who could injure him to such an extent must not be a simple person.

"He was ambushed in the Lower Nest, and later, while wounded, he was pinned down for a long time by a combined attack of renegade Astartes and cultists."

Malakin nodded, accepting this explanation. If there were traitorous Astartes in the siege of Valadin, then it would be understandable that the old man was injured like this. After all, Valadin's strength was aimed at mortals and demons. If he encountered a traitorous Astartes, it might not be very effective.

Malakin was filled with anger at the injury of his old friend, but when he noticed the emergency burn treatment on Valadin's shoulder, he turned his gaze to Sandales, or to be precise, the sword on his waist.

After carefully observing the shape of the sword, Malakin was shocked, but he did not say anything extra. Instead, he nodded to the battle brothers beside him.

The Weepers who received the order went to take over part of the defense of the elevator shaft. Warp demons had already appeared in the lower nest, and it was impossible for these mortals alone to defend the elevator shaft. They needed to take advantage of this period of calm to dig trenches around the elevator shaft as much as possible and prepare strategic depth.

"Is there something wrong with this sword?"

"No, I just overthink it. Are you going to the upper nest next?"

As if not wanting Sandales to notice that something was wrong with him, Malakin shook his head slightly and tried to change the subject.

This is not his fault. Only the Blood Angels Chapter and the daughter chapters that split from the Blood Angels know one thing, that is, the sword used by the Primarch ten thousand years ago and left on Baal has actually been broken long ago.

At this moment, the sword on Sandiles' waist was exactly the same as the holy weapon that had long been broken.

Sandales certainly had not been to Baal, and the sword fragments on Baal had not been stolen.

So where did the sword at his waist come from?

"I do need to go to the Upper Nest. I need to find the bishop of the Upper Nest Ecclesiarchy. He is holding a Tzeentchian demon from the Warp, and I need to get some useful information from him."

Chapter 14: He who knows the current situation is a hero, and only smart people can live longer

"A traitor has emerged among the nobles in the Upper Nest. If you go to the Upper Nest now, you will be putting yourself in danger."

"Then I need to go there too. The Ecclesiarchy and the Sisters are forces we urgently need to integrate. Valedin, I have a good relationship with the Planetary Governor. I guarantee that he still has a way to safely leave the Upper Nest."

Sandiles and Malakin walked side by side on the road of the Middle Nest. The combination of the two indeed made passers-by on the road salute frequently. No one dared to disrespect the Emperor's angels, and they were also full of gratitude towards Sandiles, who had fought alongside Inquisitor Valadin several times.

The people in the middle nest now more or less feel that something is wrong in the lower nest. The vibrations and sounds of the battle can even be transmitted through the isolation plate between the lower and middle nests. Some residents dream at night that they are killed by those cultists.

The arrival of Astartes officially proved this, and some sharp-eyed people had already begun packing their belongings and preparing to leave Valentino by boat.

"Salazar Sacfiro, this guy is no ordinary person. The fact that he can stand out among a bunch of insects like the local nobles is enough to prove his ability."

"And there's news claiming this guy has some connections to Terra. The Sacfiro family holds a prominent position within the Ministry of Military Affairs. They've already produced two lord generals, one of whom, Clad Sacfiro, is still in office."

Before Sandales and Malakin could get close to the elevator shaft leading to the upper nest, they were stopped by the planetary defense force responsible for blocking the upper nest.

"My lord, the Upper Nest is under martial law and cannot be entered for the time being."

"We need to enter the Upper Nest to negotiate with the Planetary Governor. I speak to you as Chapter Master of the Weepers."

This situation was not suitable for Sandales to speak. Although Sandales himself had some reputation in Valentino, in the face of the real political system, this reputation was not as useful as the identity of an Astartes Chapter Captain like Malakin.

As the Chapter Master, he had the authority to bypass others and meet with the Planetary Governor. Fortunately, he was talking to this soldier now. If he had been a Chapter Master with a bad temper, the Planetary Defense Force soldier who stepped forward to stop him would have had a grenade pointed at his head.

"Sir, we are only following orders, please understand."

"I don't understand. Whose orders are you following? Could it be that his orders are higher than the Emperor's will? We are here to support Valentino at the Emperor's command. If you believe your master is more noble than the Emperor, then you can continue to stop us."

Malakin cast a shadow over the planetary defense soldier in front of him, and his tall power armor stood in front of the soldier like a thick wall.

The more they try to stop them at this time, the more it shows that there is a big problem in the upper nest. They don't even dare to accept inspections or organize meetings. This means that those guys are not just hiding something from others. There may be subspace demons around them.

"Calm down, Malakin, I'll talk to them."

Sandales patted Malakin's shoulder armor gently, then looked past the chapter commander at the officer in charge of the elevator shaft.

The other party's arrogance made him slowly come down from the watchtower at this time. Logically speaking, he and Malakin were not small in size, and the other party was on the watchtower and could see them from a long distance.

Even before he and Malakin reached the elevator shaft, he only ordered a soldier without even a rank to come and talk.

"My Lord, entry to the Upper Nest is temporarily prohibited."

"Look at what I have in my hand, and then choose to answer this question."

Originally, the officer whose belly was higher than his chest was somewhat disdainful, but when he saw the rose knot of the Holy Hammer Order in Sandales's hand, his fat body immediately shook like a sieve.

"I'm authorized by Inquisitor Valadin of the Inquisition's Order of the Holy Hammer to enter the Upper Nest to meet with the Planetary Governor. The matters to be discussed are top secret. If you can defy the Inquisition on behalf of your superiors, then you may continue to obstruct me. I will return to report to Inquisitor Valadin."

Not only did this sentence frighten the officer in front of him, but even Malakin, who was beside Sandiles, was a little surprised. Wasn't Valedin unconscious? When did he give Sandiles the authorization?

"Sir, please calm down. I will notify the troops to let them go now."

"You don't need to go back and notify them. Just clear the way here and we can go in immediately."

Want to go back and report the news?

Fuck you!

If you ask the person above you for instructions, then my method of falsely conveying orders will be in vain.

Don’t even think about it. Even if you want to ask for instructions, you have to wait until Malakin and I enter the upper nest.

"Sir, this..."

"Please think carefully. Do you really want to refuse the order of the Inquisition?"

Beads of sweat the size of beans streamed down the forehead of the planetary defense force officer in front of him. Compared to the Astartes, these people who had never left the planet Valentino were more afraid of the Inquisition.

After all, the Astartes Chapter still needs to abide by the regulations on relevant matters, but the Inquisition is different. They are the ones who use the relevant regulations, and the final right of interpretation lies in their hands.

And to be more realistic, it is impossible for the Astartes to go on a killing spree on a planet, at least not to purge the planet's top leaders from top to bottom without solid evidence.

But the court is different!

This stems directly from their duty of internal review, which gives them the power to kill first and ask questions later in any action. Even if they want to hold someone accountable, they have to wait until the matter is over.

But what’s the point of holding people accountable at that time? The people are dead, what can be done by holding them accountable?

Not to mention that most of the people killed by the Inquisition had some problems. As long as they were killed by the Inquisition, not many people would think that those guys were innocent.

The people being killed knew in their hearts that there was nothing good inside their pants, and killing them was no different from suppressing a rebellion.

Forget it, let those nobles have fun by themselves, I can’t stop them.

The Inquisition and the Astartes Chapter stood on one side, and it was obvious that the Ecclesiarchy would support Sandales, who was no different from a saint in their eyes.

The nuns have been locked away for too long, and they will certainly stand against the nobles.

From a certain perspective, if the planetary governor and the generals of the Astra Militarum also stood on the side of Sandales, then they would have the right to issue an extermination order to Valentino.

"Sir, we will open the elevator shaft immediately."

"Very good, a wise choice. Just one more thing, don't risk your life for useless people. A wise man knows when to act. Only in this way can you live longer. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Ming...Ming, my Lord, I will now hand over control of the elevator shaft to you."

"Oh, that's right, sensible boy."

Chapter 15 How absurd everything is!

It was not until the Weepers came and took control of the elevator from the Middle Nest to the Upper Nest that Malakin and Sandiles went to the Upper Nest with several Astartes warriors.

"Did Valedin really give you the authorization?"

"Authorization? The Inquisition's power is not something they can just give away. They're just using Valedin and my reputation on Valentino to do a little bit of this. Regardless of whether it's the Inquisition or any other faction, they'll just turn a blind eye."

After gently pondering the Sword of Hope at his waist, Sandales answered Malakin's question, which was almost no problem. After all, one of the characters in the name of the planet Valentino came from this guy Valedin, so his status on this planet was quite high.

"Valentin was the first Inquisitor sent by the Inquisition to Valentino. When he arrived, Valentino was still a feudal planet ruled by the Lombard Dynasty."

"In fact, Valentino has not been back to the Empire for very long. This planet was recovered by the Empire later, not conquered during the Great Crusade."

"The main forces that successfully recaptured Valentino were the Inquisition and the Knox Merchant Dynasty, which accompanied the Inquisition on its quest. Today, both the Lombardy Dynasty and the Knox Merchant Dynasty have vanished, leaving only old Valentin as the Inquisition's gauntlet."

The sound of the elevator's mechanical operation continued to be heard. Even though the elevator shaft in this hive city had been in operation for decades, it still remained in relatively good operating condition under the maintenance of the Mechanicus and the Servitors.

The huge gear-shaped transmission devices at the four corners of the elevator shaft are constantly climbing upwards, and the control panel at one corner indicates the current height of the elevator.

In addition to Upper Nest, where the nobles live, there is actually an area called the Spire, which is the real power center of the planet. The planetary governor, Astra Militarum generals and all the powerful people in power will discuss plans for the planet there.

I should actually go straight to the top of the tower, but the problem is that in order to get to the top of the tower, I have to pass through the upper nest first.

"Do you smell a very strange fragrance? This scent is completely different from the perfumes and incense that the nobles usually use. It feels a bit addictive."

As if in response to Sandales's suspicion, the Sword of Hope at his waist was now emitting a faint glow, which meant that the energy of the warp was spreading here.

"Put on your helmet and be alert."

Several accompanying Astartes warriors immediately passed the positions of Malakin and Sandiles and stood between the two and the elevator door. The safety of the grenade launchers in their hands had been released, and they were ready to launch fire attacks on anyone outside the door at any time.

The fragrance permeating the upper nest is definitely not right. Even if those nobles were thrown into the pond and marinated with perfume, it would definitely not reach the current level.

The elevator car they are in now is almost semi-enclosed. What kind of fragrance can penetrate into the elevator through the half-meter thick closed door?

Sandales, holding the Sword of Hope, now only feels a headache. This extremely rich fragrance can almost expose the evil cult faction that is rampant in the upper nest.

If these changes in the Upper Nest have nothing to do with the evil cult faction under Slaanesh, then Valadin will have to wear his pants inside out.

The speed of the mechanical transmission gradually slowed down, which meant that they had reached the upper nest area, and the fragrance that had already filled the elevator reached a higher level at this time.

They could even see the lavender smoke swirling in the air, and the Sword of Hope in Sandales's hand was like an oil lamp in the smoke, emitting enough light to dispel the smoke.

"What happened in the Upper Nest?"

"No wonder those guys want to blockade the Upper Nest. Slaanesh's corruption has already taken root deeply in the Upper Nest. The reason they gave those cultists supplies was purely to divert the attention of the Inquisition and the Planetary Defense Force to the Lower Nest, so that these people can enjoy themselves in peace in the Upper Nest."

As the elevator door opened, an indescribable scene appeared in the sight of Sandiles, Malakin and others. Various puppets were stacked together, some in the shape of men and some women, and there were even some animal-like puppets stacked on the puppets.

As for what they were imitating, Sandiles could figure it out with his toes, but what puzzled him was that the material of these dolls seemed to be a little off.

Although the joint area has a clear puppet body structure, that is, those flexible moving parts, the color scheme and the size of the various body parts of the puppet look no different from those of a real person.

In addition to the puppets imitating adultery, there are also puppets sitting around a luxurious round table, pretending to eat and drink.

There are even some figures wearing luxurious gowns, waving their arms high while surrounded by a group of dolls.
