However, no one opposed Zhang Ge's decision.
The reason is very simple. The people who followed him before were already accustomed to his style. As for the new Weepers and Grey Knights... do you really think they are mortals?
Worrying about his safety? What a joke! If a fight really broke out, would that fleet be enough for him to kill alone? The biggest waste of time from start to finish would probably be traveling, not to mention the Primarch was there.
What, or is it Horus who is the Inquisitor above?
Their only regret was that they did not have that opportunity, the opportunity to follow him, and now they could only stand on the battleship and watch the tail flames of the fighter planes gradually disappearing into the distance.
And in the universe.
After the Valkyrie flew a long distance, because it actively exposed its signal, the group soon appeared in the sight of the Inquisition's black ship.
If they followed their usual practice, after establishing a blockade and repeatedly declaring their presence, the most common approach when faced with a small, unidentified flying object flying towards them at high speed would be to simply destroy it. However, after increasing the power supply of the detection array in an attempt to scan from a longer distance, the fleet discovered a disturbing little problem:
No matter how they scanned, they couldn't find the mothership that launched the shuttle.
This means two things.
First, it is possible that their mothership has such excellent concealment capabilities that it is beyond the detection capabilities of the detection array.
Second, it is possible that the mother ship is at least far superior to our black ship in terms of detection level, so that even the maximum power detection cannot reach the opponent.
You know, the Inquisition's Black Ship is a battleship-class vessel, equipped with a lot of cutting-edge alien technology. What kind of ship is even more powerful than that? Moreover, such a ship can't be a single ship, right? What's the size of its escort fleet?
Faced with such a situation, and at the disadvantage of being completely in the dark, they wisely did not choose an overly radical response. Instead, they agreed to the other party's negotiation request and chose to set the negotiation location on an accompanying cruiser not far from the black ship.
In this way, even if any accident happened, the black ship could destroy the cruiser in the first time.
So, just like that, Zhang Ge and his team successfully passed the blockade line of the Tribunal that "no one is allowed to approach" and entered the designated cruiser.
All I can say is that when a person's fist is big enough, general rules and constraints will no longer apply to him - on the contrary, if you want the rules not to be broken by him, you have to flexibly adjust the bottom line of the rules.
When the Valkyrie docked in the cruiser's hangar, Zhang Ge quickly left the plane.
And met someone who was totally beyond his expectations.
Of course, the other party was equally surprised, or even more surprised.
"It's you?"
"It's you?"
The person who appeared in front of Zhang Ge, wearing a power armor and wearing the ornaments of the Grand Inquisitor, was none other than the political commissar he first met in the trench. At the same time, the "Priest" Reid was standing beside him. Judging from his attire, Reid's actual identity should be a heavily armored "Ouster".
"Why are you here?" x2
Wait, that would make sense.
Why could he pull out a psychic on the front line to use as a bomb?
Why was that psychic who looked like he was already half crazy still able to survive until then?
Why are both the Commissar and Reverend Reid familiar with the process of using psykers as bombs?
Also, there was a suspicious point that Zhang Ge didn't notice at the time, but now seems very obvious.
Why did Dulles, a veteran squad leader, show such a confrontational and unfamiliar attitude towards his own political commissar?
The answers are revealed at this moment.
Because they were not "one of us" from the beginning.
Moreover, this also explains why Zhang Ge could not find any trace of them later, because they did not go to find the Inquisition at all, but most likely went directly back to the Inquisition's ship and eventually left the galaxy in some unknown way.
Oh my god, this little judge is really good at hiding.
However, this is also good. After all, he knows that his original identity is just a veteran and he will not be fooled as easily as others. The probability of problems occurring is greatly increased.
Bliss.
Chapter 274: "I will never be nostalgic" The nostalgic judge introduced himself like this
And sure enough, just as Zhang Ge expected, the other party did not forget his duty just because of their old friendship in fighting together.
Grand Inquisitor, although all inquisitors are equal in name, there is always a group of people who are more equal than others, and among them, the Grand Inquisitor is one of the most equal groups.
This level of Inquisitor is extremely rare even in the entire star zone, and possesses almost unlimited power for ordinary people, including but not limited to requisitioning an entire Inquisitorial fleet, borrowing Astra Militarum and even Space Marines to fight for them, requiring an entire Grey Knight squadron to accept their command, etc.
Naturally, only the most ruthless and duty-conscious people can climb to this important position. Most inquisitors are just "inquisitors" throughout their lives.
"What should I call you now, Zhang Ge? Or... Colonel?"
The political commissar glanced at the military rank on Zhang Ge's new uniform.
"So, what should I call you, Commissar? Or 'The Inquisitor'?"
If he was just an ordinary colonel of the Star Army, then a word from the Grand Inquisitor would be enough to decide his life or death, so he naturally wouldn't dare to confront him. But Zhang Ge was a little different after all. On the one hand, he was not ordinary, and on the other hand, he was trying to provoke the other party, so of course he couldn't give in.
However, the political commissar did not dwell on the topic of this so-called title. After his gaze moved from Zhang Ge's face to Amelia, he glanced at her twice, then turned back to Zhang Ge and continued:
"Hmm... Hehe, it seems you've been through a lot while I was away."
"We're not here to reminisce about the past, are we?"
"No, but it could be."
The political commissar shrugged. This statement eased the tense atmosphere a little and also made the Inquisition soldiers holding laser rifles breathe a sigh of relief. Even from the appearance alone, those things standing opposite them really didn't look like they could be dealt with by laser guns.
After saying this, he introduced himself:
"Call me Inquisitor Beavis. I belong to the Order of the Xenophobic, and I have no interest in anything other than xenomorph affairs."
Obviously, this was not just an introduction to himself, but also a statement about what they knew about "Ascalon".
After hearing this, Zhang Ge really wanted to say, "There are a bunch of elves on the boat behind me. I'll take you to see them." Unfortunately, he couldn't say it.
"Well, Judge Beavis, let me get straight to the point: my men and I need to get through this alien creation you've blocked. Could you please make way for us?"
"Oh? You guys?...There should be more than just these people."
"Is this a question?"
Beavis laughed and shook his head when he heard this, then continued to answer:
"No, it's okay if you don't say it, and it's not impossible to pass it, but there is a trivial condition."
Conditions? Don't mention joining my fleet or anything like that. I've tasted enough of it. Bring it down now.
"Go ahead."
His expression became a little more serious:
"We also want to enter this door."
Well, this is very interesting.
The Webway is a very magical thing. Although its builders did not restrict who can use it, due to the long-term occupation of the Webway by the Eldar, this thing is basically tied to their image, which is generally known as the "alien creation".
Furthermore, because the Webway is filled with extremely dangerous areas, even the Eldar must be extremely cautious when using it... Even leaving aside the issue of alien creations, how could an Inquisition fleet have the confidence to pass through the Webway and reach where they want to go?
Wait a moment.
Zhang Ge thought of a possibility.
"You plan to use the Webway to cross the Great Rift?"
"Yes, we must go to Terra, but the passage to Vigilance is blocked, and the Great Rift cannot be traversed by warp navigation, so we have to take some risks."
"Forehead..."
Zhang Ge's eyes shifted slightly, and he couldn't bear to tell the truth.
Amelia, who still had no scruples, took over the conversation and said bluntly:
"The space turmoil on Vigilance has long ended. You have wasted several months here for nothing. If you had been quicker, you should have been on Terra by now."
"It's over? That's impossible. There's no way those enemies can be dealt with in a few months. Don't try to deceive me with such an obvious lie."
Beavis frowned and spoke seriously. It was obvious that he really took the matter of "returning to Terra" very seriously.
Zhang Ge seriously pushed the blame away:
"In fact, there were some minor accidents, which greatly accelerated the progress of the battle. If you don't believe it, why don't you send a team back to Vigilance Star to take a look?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Beavis nodded slowly, but then changed the subject:
"Then please stay here as our guests and let us chat until the team returns. If the situation is true, we will leave here. If it is just wasting my time..."
He did not continue speaking, but just glanced at it and continued:
"However, I trust you. You just have to go through some verification procedures."
Is this... house arrest?
What's next for house arrest?
Beavis, you did a great job.
"I don't care, as long as your people don't take up too much of our time."
"No, they are all the most professional crew members."
The Inquisition's execution ability is naturally extremely strong. A few minutes after the conversation ended, several frigates and destroyers from the Inquisition's fleet had already set off. They will divide their forces into several groups so that there will be redundancy to tolerate accidents.
In the following Terra Hours, Beavis seemed to have put away all his hostility and received everyone with the highest standards of courtesy. The banquet alone lasted for a full three Terra Hours, with unlimited supply of all kinds of fresh food and drinks... Remember, this was on a starship, and it was a starship of the Inquisition.
Unfortunately, this peace only lasted for a short time.
When the banquet was over and Beavis arranged rooms for everyone, about three or four Terra hours passed. Just when Zhang Ge felt a little bored and could only flip through a book while looking forward to the storm after the calm, a violent tremor came from all directions.
This scene...why does it feel so familiar? Has it happened before?
Amid the spreading alarm, Zhang Ge scratched his head with an inexplicable sense of déjà vu as he looked at his followers who had gathered in the corridor, thinking to himself:
Chapter 275: The Magnificent Thing that Span the Universe
Not long after the alarm started sounding, Beavis's sound array communication had already reached Zhang Ge.
Amidst the noise, he began to speak:
"One good news and one bad news."
"Don't waste time at this point. Can you finish it all at once?"
"If I had no sense of humor like you, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until now."
Hearing this tone, Zhang Ge seemed to be able to imagine his shrugging posture. However, having said that, right after this sentence, he got straight to the point:
"The good news is that the alien megastructure has activated itself, so we don't have to spend time trying to figure it out. The bad news is that before we can use it, we have to deal with the giant thing that came out of it."
Big guy, how big is it?
With a little curiosity, Zhang Ge led everyone out of the living area and came to an outer cabin with outward-facing portholes, and looked out the window.
First, one could see the activated webway gate, whose span was extremely exaggerated, appearing to be tens of thousands of kilometers long, like a giant bone-white bridge spanning the universe.
This length is several times longer than the diameter of an ordinary Earth-like planet, enough for the largest fleet to enter at the same time. It is hard to imagine how spectacular it would have been if a structure of this level had been used in war countless years ago.
Just looking at its main body is shocking enough, let alone the fact that it is currently being activated?
The ripples that distorted the background of the stars like the edge of a bubble fluctuated on a scale of tens of thousands of kilometers, enough to even give people an illusion:
Their tiny fleet was falling into a bottomless ocean.
However, what really deserved their attention was not the activated webway gate, but a small object that seemed inconspicuous in comparison.
Ark World, Samhan.
At this moment, most of the planet-like ship had already sailed out of the webway, with only a small part of its tail still remaining in the ripples connecting the depths of the webway.
Due to the great distance, in Zhang Ge's eyes, its body was not as big as the black ship next to it. However, if one estimated the proportion with the main body of the Webway Gate, it was not difficult to see that its length could reach at least a thousand kilometers, and even tens of thousands of kilometers would not be surprising.
This is a miraculous creation of the ancient elves. Each Ark World represents a faction of the elves, and the powerful ones are even strong enough to compete with the entire star region.
The first thing that came to Zhang Ge's mind when he saw that thing was:
