Judge Rostov said,
"We need to destroy the black stone device on the asteroid before we can destroy the ship."
Before the Imperial side could come up with a new tactic, the head of the divination instrument issued a warning.
"Commander, I've detected multiple targets that have broken out of the asteroid's orbit. They...they..."
“Explain yourself,” Asagay said.
“They don’t look like ships; I’m trying to get clearer readings,” the oracles manager replied.
“Turn the visual image around,” Asagay said.
Several large screens decorated with golden double-headed eagles fell from the ceiling, and empty images appeared on the monitors.
The image doesn't show ships, but countless monsters.
Some flapped their wings, and although there was no air in the void, they still flew, just like birds soaring in the atmosphere.
There were also some monsters driving chariots, pulled by flaming war beasts.
They let out deep roars that made the void rumble.
Some were on all fours, running wildly toward the location of the Saint Astor battle group.
The number of demons is endless, like a surging tide.
Their existence mocks the laws of the real universe, and also mocks the physics that no longer exists.
"Damn it," Asagay cursed, then shut down the image to prevent innocent crew members from being poisoned again.
"Issue a ship-wide announcement: All armed crew, garrison troops, and Space Marines, prepare to receive the boarders."
“If we don’t destroy the Black Stone device on the asteroid, we’ll have a hard time winning. The Black Stone device allows those demons to thrive in the real universe,” Rostov said. “I need an elite force to go with me.”
“That’s too dangerous; it could very well be a trap,” Asagay said.
“Even if it is, I will jump in,” Rostov said. “I will report this to the fleet commander, Kassandra.”
"No matter what sacrifices we have to make, we must hold off the enemy and thwart their plot."
After Rostov persuaded Asagai, he established communications with Kassandra using the lighthouse network.
Upon learning of the judge's decision, she did not appear surprised, as if she had expected it, and instead brought up another matter.
"Having been an Alien Inquisitor for so long, you must have collected quite a few good things, right?"
Rostov: "…………"
"Is the fleet commander going to inherit my legacy?"
Cassandra scoffed.
"You're overthinking it, Judge. I just don't want to pay for your life."
"Take the chosen ones with you, and if there is any sacrifice required, let them go."
"Also, remember to share your legacy as a reward for the chosen ones."
"If you're too stingy, they won't work hard for you."
As soon as Kassandra finished speaking, Rostov received a message.
[Commander of the Third Unyielding Expeditionary Fleet—Cassandra Verlescus—invites you to join the Chosen Ones questline.]
You can seek the help of the Chosen Ones by posting reward tasks.
Rostov: "…………"
Things seem to be getting a little strange.
P.S.: I've already changed the name, guys.
Chapter 205 Skabrand: "Hehe, I'm here to boost my KPIs again."
Inquisitor Rostov carefully read the agreement to join the Chosen Ones mission system.
After confirming that everything was correct, I checked the "agree" box and added it to the task system.
It contains task templates and Xiling's assistance in estimating task rewards; he just needs to copy them.
Rostov pondered for a moment, then began editing the task.
Mission: Destroy the Blackrock Device.
Abaddon the Great Raider destroyed the Cardia Fortress, creating a massive rift that stretches across the entire galaxy.
But he was still not satisfied and intended to use the Black Stone device to cut through the entire real universe and throw it into the subspace.
The brilliant, handsome, and charismatic Judge Rostov is determined to stop this evil plot.
However, he was troubled by the lack of help, so he posted this task, hoping that a chosen one would come to his aid.
If the chosen one is interested, he/she may register at the Rostov Inquisitor's office.
Basic mission rewards: 75000 contribution points, 5000 honor points, 25000 faith points, and 120000 war points.
Commission rewards: awarded based on task performance.
Best Reward: Arbiter's Crafted Power Sword (Forged in the thirty-fifth millennium, crafted by many legendary inquisitors)
】
"Is this really okay?"
Judge Rostov looked at the edited task, somewhat apprehensive.
You should know that trying to destroy that hell ship and the black stone device would be a near-certain death.
Those chosen ones held a high status, and even fleet commanders treated them with respect.
Would they choose to die for such a small reward?
It always feels a little unreal.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Rostov clicked to upload the task.
The interface displayed a message indicating that the application was under review.
A short while later, the task interface refreshed again, showing that the review had been approved and the task had been issued.
After a few minutes, several soulless individuals appeared before Rostov.
"Was this the task you posted?"
"I want to take over the mission."
"Me! I want to go."
"........."
Rostov looked at the chosen ones surrounding him, somewhat shocked.
Ah! No!!
Such a dangerous mission, one that could easily cost you your life.
Can simply giving them a reward really motivate them to be so enthusiastic?
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Rostov asked one of the chosen ones.
The chosen one paused for a moment, then, as if realizing something, straightened his posture.
"What is there to fear in death for the sake of the emperor?"
"I was born to die for the emperor. Give me any difficult tasks you may have."
"Judge, I will never back down, nor will I fail your expectations."
Upon hearing this, Rostov's eyes widened.
These chosen ones actually have such awareness.
"Judge?" the chosen one called out to Rostov when he saw Rostov looking blank.
“I’m sorry, I’m shocked and ashamed by your loyalty,” Rostov said.
This is what loyalty truly is!
He bought his own weapons and equipment, and was wholeheartedly devoted to serving the emperor.
Compared to the Chosen Ones, I am simply a heretic.
The chosen one looked puzzled, then asked eagerly,
"Don't you have anything else to say?"
"Aren't there any particularly dangerous missions assigned to me?"
"It's alright, Your Honor. As long as you give the order, no matter how dangerous it may be, I will do it without hesitation."
“This mission is already very dangerous,” Rostov said.
“I can do more, Inquisitor,” the Chosen One said. “I am the Chosen One, ‘I Don’t Want to Be a Stinky Can.’ If there are any other dangerous tasks, please be sure to assign them to me.”
“I will.” Rostov nodded and noted down the loyal name.
Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the name.
It looks somewhat like the ancient script of Terra, but not quite.
"Remember to look for me." The chosen one looked back several times, seemingly disappointed that he hadn't been able to carry out a more dangerous mission.
Rostov sighed inwardly once again.
So loyal!!
The alien Chirk, who was standing nearby, witnessed the whole scene and was filled with confusion.
If we say that these human chosen ones don't have a high status...
Everyone had to bow to them when they saw them.
The laws of the empire have no jurisdiction over them.
Even the Tribunal, an organization that controls everything from the heavens to the earth and the air, is powerless against them.
But if we're talking about their high status,
Any mission that involves sacrificing oneself as cannon fodder can be assigned to them.
The Chosen Ones of the Human Empire are truly a strange group!
…………
Players including Seed Bro accepted the mission from Judge Rostov to assist him in destroying the Black Stone Device.
In addition, there is a squad of Primal Forged Warriors led by Messinius.
Messinius is the company commander of the 10th Company of the White Consul's Battle Group, and also serves as the new recruit sergeant, with the rank of lieutenant.
Space Marine ranks are not interchangeable with regular Imperial Army ranks.
Although Messinius was only a lieutenant, he had the authority to command the Star Forces and the Navy.
During the Battle of Otlama, he led a delegation to Makula.
They are seeking assistance for the White Regents' operations in Cadia.
However, upon arriving in Macragge, they encountered events such as the unfolding of the Great Rift and the resurrection of the Primarch.
He was then involved in a pilgrimage expedition.
Roboute Guilliman, reborn alongside Guilliman, endured countless hardships to reach Terra.
Not long after, he participated in the Battle of Lionsgate, fighting a bloody battle against the demon Khorne.
Now, he is even participating in the Indomitable Expedition, serving the Third Expeditionary Fleet.
Messinius has been upgraded from the original casting and is now much larger.
He was wearing a white power armor, with skulls adorned with golden wings on his chest and shoulder armor.
A semi-circular iron halo hung behind his head, and a blessed reliquary was suspended at his waist.
He wore a powered boxing glove given to him by Guilliman on his right hand, and a newly developed plasma pistol was mounted on his left hip.
