Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 94 Titus Team

On the Inquisition's black ship, Titus was getting acquainted with his four new teammates.

Ulfar of the Space Wolves and Darius of the Dark Angels were practicing the sacred traditions of their two Chapters, while Brother Beren of the Black Templars prayed devoutly before a miniature shrine to the Emperor.

Only Kelstrom of the Blood Angels seemed to be trying hard to endure something.

Titus knew that this was the other party enduring the instinct called blood thirst, which was also a genetic defect of the Blood Angels.

Just like the Space Wolves' uncontrollable hair growth and constantly growing canine teeth, these are all genetic traits of the chapter from the Great Crusade era. It is because of these that they are the Space Wolves and the Blood Angels.

The five people came from five different chapters, which made Titus, who was used to the uniform discipline of the Ultramarines, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But for now, both he and his four teammates can only endure.

They are sinners, and even if they enter the Death Watch, they still have to go on a penitential expedition to prove their loyalty.

Although Titus believed that he was not a corrupt person, as the inquisitor who arrested him said, he could not explain why he was not corrupt.

Facing the pollution of the Chaos Artifact and even breaking it with his bare hands, it was only natural that Titus fell on the spot, not to mention that he also crushed a Demon Prince to death with his bare hands, although that could only be considered half of his unsuccessful ascension to Demon.

But based on these records alone, the inquisitor could easily determine that Titus was suspected of corruption.

And the most important thing is that Titus cannot prove himself, he cannot prove his innocence.

Although he remained steadfast in his convictions that he was loyal and pure, Titus could not convince an inquisitor of his innocence on his own.

So even if he was rescued from the cage by other Inquisitors of the Tribunal, he had no way to return to Macragge. He could only be assigned to the Death Watch with the others and, together with four new teammates, embark on an expedition of atonement to prove his loyalty.

They had just replaced their shoulder armor and stamped it with the Death Watch emblem when they were loaded onto a black ship and sent to this unknown galaxy.

When they first arrived, this black ship of the Inquisition encountered a space naval battle.

At that time, Titus and his companions thought that the opportunity had come, and they could vent their emotions through fighting and prove their loyalty at the same time.

However, the Inquisitor on the ship did not send them into battle. Instead, he strictly ordered them to stay in the cabin and not to go out to fight. He even locked their weapons and power armor.

This distrust deeply hurt the hearts of Titus and others, so much so that in the past two days, Orfa and Darius started fighting without saying a word, and then quarreled again after the fight, and then started fighting again after a few words.

There was no way, all the weapons and equipment were locked, and they had nothing to do except chatting, arguing and fighting with their bare hands.

And non-lethal hand-to-hand combat between two Space Marines? With the Space Marines' endurance and recovery ability, they could fight for a month without stopping.

So Orfa and Darius were just killing time. After all, the time waiting here was even more unbearable than the time spent in the stasis field prison.

But soon, the Space Marine's modified extraordinary hearing picked up footsteps coming from outside the corridor.

Someone is coming. This was the first reaction of the five people, so they quickly stopped their actions, straightened their robes, and looked at the cabin door vigilantly.

Although they were told they were on a crusade of atonement, who knew what the Inquisition would do with them now that they were without weapons and power armor? Even Space Marines, without weapons and equipment, would be easily killed by mortals.

Especially since none of the five of them can be said to have a clean background, the Tribunal has sufficient reasons to deal with them.

As for the impact? Just report the death to Deathwatch later.

However, the door soon opened, and Titus and others found that things did not seem to be developing in this way.

Because the people who appeared before them were two... no, three judges.

Two of them were dressed in common inquisitor attire. One of them was the inquisitor who sent them here, and the other was a male inquisitor they had never seen before.

They were both wearing common inquisitor's coats, with rose knots pinned on their bodies to indicate their identities. Their weapons were hung at convenient locations on their waists. It was obvious at a glance that these two were experienced fighters.

But the third Inquisitor following the two of them really made the five Space Marines feel enlightened.

Because she was a female mechanical priest who had undergone advanced prosthetic transformation, but she hung a rose knot of the Inquisition on the outside of her red holy vestments.

This is an Inquisitor from the Mechanicus.

Even though four of the five Space Marines came from founding chapters and the Black Templars were an old chapter from the Second Founding, none of them had ever seen such a rare thing.

Inquisitors of the Mechanicum? Will these greasers also choose to join the Inquisition?

Just as these thoughts were running through the minds of the five people, the male inquisitor they had never seen before spoke, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Xi, the Lord Inquisitor of the Anti-Foreign Order, and the future owner of this ship.

The five of you will be temporarily assigned to me as the Deathwatch kill team. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Chen Xi was the first to introduce himself. He immediately recognized Titus, the muscular man with two golden spikes on his head, from among the five people.

Therefore, he paid special attention to him. As for the other four, perhaps only Orpha with thick red hair was worthy of his more attention.

After all, the remaining three all have normal muscular styles.

Oh, no... the one with fair skin is the angel cub. It looks like he is thirsty for blood and has been enduring it for a long time.

Chen Xi was still aware of the Blood Angel's blood thirst, but he did not point it out at this time. He just glanced at the Blood Angel, confirmed that the other party had not reached the limit and would not jump up to bite him, so he did not continue to pay attention to it.

"I'm Titus from the Ultramarines. Hello, Your Excellency the Inquisitor. I'd like to ask what we should do next? When can we get our weapons and power armor back?" Titus took the initiative to step forward and asked Chen Xi.

Of all the chapters, only the Ultramarines are the best at doing this, so naturally they are the ones who speak up.

"We'll return your weapons and equipment later. As for what to do next..." Chen Xi stared at the super-strong man in front of him who could tear the Demon Prince apart with his bare hands. After a moment's thought, he said, "How about a drink first?"

As he spoke, Chen Xi asked the mechanical servant that came with them to bring a bottle of red wine and five wine glasses.
