Chapter 102 Plague Planet
"Life is only the currency of the Emperor. There is no sacrifice too great to bear.
Isayama Kenmei did not expect that the first mission he would perform after getting this body would be the Extermination Order.
As an inquisitor of the Inquisition, he was naturally familiar with the doctrines written by the Inquisition specifically for the [Extermination Order].
"The Inquisition will not tolerate those who are weak-willed and hesitant. Only through firm actions and beliefs can humans survive."
This means that in the face of absolute loyalty, the Extermination Order is the last resort that must be used.
Exterminatus, this word in the Imperial High Gothic language refers to a large-scale military operation to destroy the entire planetary biosphere and all life on that world.
Only when the cost of holding or retaking a world is considered too high, or its Chaos mutation, terrible plague, and the threat of Chaos invasion spreading to other parts of the Empire are too great and cannot be contained by conventional means.
The Empire will use this inhumane extermination massacre, and the final result is that the entire planet on which the "Extermination Order" is executed will be destroyed.
The signing of the Extermination Order is jointly signed by senior generals from the Astra Militarum, the Imperial Navy, and the Astartes. Only when they get up can they have the right to execute, and they will be very careful when evaluating, and will not let go of any hope of saving the planet, even if the price is to fill it with human lives.
Because these planets are all territories of the Empire, and the humans on those planets are also the people of the Empire and their compatriots.
But the Inquisition is an exception.
In the eyes of these most ruthless executioners of the Empire, there is no sympathy. Even if there are still innocent civilians on this planet, they will be treated equally and all regarded as heretics.
Just like what the white-haired old man said when Makanos Elfman became the Inquisitor in Kenmei Isayama's memory.
"Even if a hundred innocent people die in the wrath of the Emperor, it is better than one person kneeling in front of the devil and becoming a heretic. "
The power of the Inquisition comes from the Emperor himself. The Inquisitors of the Inquisition, the cruelest executioners in the Empire, can exercise the highest power in the name of the Emperor.
Once the Inquisitor deems it necessary, they will take off the Inquisitor's flower ornaments representing their identities, sign the extermination order on the document and force it to start, without having to explain to anyone.
The extermination order signed by the Inquisitor will take effect immediately, and the nearby Imperial Navy fleet, Astra Militarum, Astartes and other warships will be requisitioned to cooperate with the Inquisition fleet to launch military operations.
Often, a huge number of joint fleets will be dispatched at one time. These large and small The warships will cover every inch of the planet where the extermination order is issued with dense artillery fire until there is no grass left.
The Inquisitors have unimaginable power, which makes them amazed.
The friend of Kenmei Isayama who occupied this body, the Demon Inquisitor Traviam Frasst of the Holy Hammer Order, once joked with his Inquisitor flower ornaments
"I always carry the Inquisitor emblem with me. Although it is a small and inconspicuous item that looks ordinary, as long as I have this thing, I can sign the extermination order and easily bury billions or even tens of billions of souls. ”
As an Inquisitor of the Inquisition, the original owner of this body also possessed this terrible power.
But the original owner, Makanos Elfman, would only exercise the power to sign an extermination order and burn his future unless he was out of his mind.
The consequence of an extermination order is not as simple as killing a village, but a massacre that annihilates all species on the planet, turning it into a dead star.
Sacrificing the entire world and countless lives, even for the cold-blooded Inquisition, which does not need to explain its actions to anyone, it is not easy to bear this evil consequence.
Especially the Inquisitor who ordered the "Extermination Order" to take such an extreme action will be closely scrutinized by other Inquisitors in the future, and basically will not have a good end.
If the extermination order issued by the Inquisitor is evaluated as unnecessary by the Inquisition, then the Inquisitor will pay a painful price, be declared a heretic by the Inquisition and will be arrested immediately, and will most likely be directly executed.
This extermination order came from Kenmei Isayama's superior, Horst- Signed by Eisenholm.
This is the Inquisitor known for his fierce and tough methods. He personally went to the planet to evaluate the home world. SPO No. 2 home world is beyond saving.
As the Lord Inquisitor, Horst was busy with affairs, so he asked Inquisitor Makanos-Elfman to supervise the launch of the extermination order.
And Makanos-Elfman was replaced by Kenmei Isayama as the Inquisitor who pulled the trigger of the planetary extermination order.
In the corridor of the Black Ship battleship, the echoing sound of footsteps in front and behind sounded in the distance and gradually got closer and closer.
Facing The tall man with a cold expression in a black trench coat came over. His sharp eyes like swords made anyone who looked at him feel afraid.
The skull medallion with the symbol of the Tribunal I on the collar was the inquisitor's flower ornament. Wearing it was equivalent to having power over all the central privileged agencies.
A double-barreled grenade with the Sky Eagle logo on the butt was inserted on his waist. The footsteps made by his thick leather boots were quite oppressive.
It was also the first day for Kenmei Isayama to be an inquisitor, but no matter what, this appearance must be there.
Next to him was the smiling Battle Sister Elena. Her white nun uniform swayed slightly as she walked, and Kenmei Isayama could smell her pleasant fragrance.
She always kept a half-body distance, and the two walked quietly, one in front of the other.
The original owner, Makanos Elfman, was a man of few words. He and Elena were old partners, just like the Inquisition and the Battle Sisters were inseparable partners.
Kenmei Isayama looked out of the corner of his eye at the fleet of dozens of huge Inquisition black ships that had been assembled through the glass. These warships were not the black ships that were usually used to transport illegal psychics in the empire to Terra.
Although they were both black ships, they were completely different things.
The Inquisition black ship was a special strike cruiser used by the Inquisition, usually used to perform special tasks. This type of warship combined the advantages of the Imperial strike cruiser and the battle cruiser, and its firepower was quite fierce.
Since they had to execute the extermination order, they were basically equipped with powerful macro cannons and various weapons to be used in the extermination order. Those terrible weapons symbolized the Emperor's wrath and brought death to the heretics.
"When will the Imperial Navy Fleet arrive?"
Jiashan Xianmei saw that in the black and boundless universe, the artillery of the Inquisition's black ship fleet had already begun to charge up in advance to prepare for the next battle, so he asked
"The Imperial Navy Fleet is currently in the subspace and cannot be contacted. It is scheduled to gather at XX coordinates in one hour,"
Elena replied
"Well, it seems that our fleet will arrive first."
Jiashan Xianmei looked into the distance and could vaguely see a beautiful planet in the distant starry sky, with lush land and blue ocean on the surface. That is -SPO No. 2 Home World.
However, according to the information from the Inquisition, Jianshan Xianmei knew that this planet was experiencing an extremely terrible plague, which had caused 65% of the life on the surface to die, and there were corpses everywhere.
This terrible plague cannot be cured by the level of Imperial medical technology, because it is the power of Nurgle, one of the four evil gods of Chaos, known as the "God of Plague".
If the plague on this planet is allowed to continue to spread, it will become a plague world, which will then affect the surrounding planets and even the entire galaxy.
For this reason, the Lord of the Inquisition Horst-Eisenholm signed an extermination order, destroying this planet and the 35% of survivors together with the Emperor's wrath.
