Chapter 52: The Shadow Approaching the Grey Knight
Watchmaster Astorun initially mistook Jerome for the Grand Master of the Ninth Brotherhood. Jerome was older than Tai Yue, causing him to misjudge.
After Astorun realized that he had mistakenly recognized the person, he was stunned for a moment and then turned to face Taiyue. He straightened his thick white beard on his chin, carefully looked at Taiyue in front of him, and then praised:
"Master Tai is really young and promising. Kriptman has already introduced to me your extraordinary performance in the Tiamat galaxy. At your age, I was still a recruit in the battle group!"
"There is no age or age to fight for the Emperor."
Taiyue replied calmly. He found that Watch Master Astorun was unexpectedly friendly, which was completely inconsistent with Astorun's reputation outside. Rumors not only indicated that the imperial troops operating with him were very afraid of him, but there was also another theory. Most of the green-skinned orcs in the Sun Sector can recognize this orc killer based on his features.
Astorun often led the Death Watch troops to carry out beheading operations against Orc warlords, strangling potential Orc warlords in the Sun Star Territory directly in their cradle. This prevented the Orc gathering areas in the Sun Star Territory from producing a powerful Orc Empire, ensuring that Safety of Holy Terra.
"This should be Brother Jerome, the demon primarch killer. Can you tell us about your heroic experience in hunting down the demon primarch?"
Astorun suddenly said that if the young man in front of him was the Grand Master of the Ninth Brotherhood, the Grand Master's guard he admitted by mistake should be Brother Jerome.
After Operation Wizard Star, Tai Yue wrote a post-war summary report to the High Lords Council of Terra, mentioning that it was Brother Jerome who killed the Demon Primarch Magnus, but did not mention the relationship between Jerome and the Demon Primarch. Body and soul merge with these words.
Astolon is the most trusted Watch Lord on behalf of Arx in the Tribunal of the High Lords of Terra. The two have a good relationship. It is likely that he learned about the death records of the Daemon Primarch through Arx.
"Yes."
Jerome nodded and admitted, standing next to Taiyue and saying nothing.
"These two are Captain Nelson of the Ninth Brotherhood and Ms. Sisela, the Inquisitor."
Seeing this, Tai Yue introduced the remaining two people, interrupting the topic Astorun wanted to continue asking. He had noticed that Astorun seemed to know the Ninth Brotherhood specifically.
Nelson's reputation as the captain of the Ninth Brotherhood is too low, while Sisela has been active as an inquisitor since becoming the supervisor of the Ninth Brotherhood. The outside world knows very little about the two of them. After Taiyue's introduction, he was very It quickly attracted Astorun's attention.
Astoron did not ask Brother Jerome about the Daemon Primarch again, but glanced at Sisera curiously. He knew that the sudden appearance of Sisera's Inquisitor was directly to the Gene Primarch Guilliman. The person who reports does not report to High Lord Arx or other senior officials of the Inquisition.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor, the commanders of other chapters have now arrived in the conference room. The first combat meeting against the Hive Fleet Nautilus will begin in an hour."
The appearance of Judge Kriptman interrupted the delicate atmosphere. Watchmaster Astorun said goodbye to everyone and went to the conference room first.
"Let's also attend the meeting together. Grand Master, do you know why Lord Astoron is interested in you?"
Judge Kliptmann asked as he walked:
"have no idea."
Tai Yue shook his head, stopped and looked at the trial court beside him.
"With the return of Lord Guilliman, the Primarch, the Gray Knights Chapter has followed the Primarch in many expeditions. Since you began to appear in front of everyone, you are no longer a mysterious force.
More and more people are paying attention to you. There are rumors among the pure faction of your Inquisition that the Ninth Brotherhood has been using the power of aliens. Some radical Purity Inquisitors even tried to prove the Ninth Brotherhood to High Lord Arx. That's heresy.
For the radical colleagues of Brother Jerome's Inquisition, they even suspected that it was not him who killed the Daemon Primarch, but that he himself was the Daemon Primarch! "
"How do you think of this?"
Taiyue said with a sneer.
"I just want to destroy the Tyranids, or be wiped out by the Tyranids!"
After Judge Kliptman finished speaking, he continued to the conference room.
