Chapter 626: Battle of the Beasts: Stars
Vito found the sector operation chart in the library's atrium.
This was thanks to the administrator he found in the front office.
He is a very young man, quite young. It is precisely because he is very young and has not been in the industry for a long time that he is left on duty here on the night of the big celebration.
All the other administrators had gone to the celebration, perhaps drinking beer, while a girl upstairs was immersed in joy that had nothing to do with them.
And he was left to stay in this empty library where no one would come.
He was quite surprised when Vito arrived, first because of the Inquisitor uniform he was wearing, and then again when Vito introduced himself.
Plus a lot of excitement.
And fear, after all, it was the first time for him to be in such close contact with an Inquisitor. He must have been told all kinds of scary stories about the Inquisition by his nanny like all the children in the empire when he was a child.
But it helped a lot.
Vito asked him to take him to the location of the navigation map. He agreed without thinking, and then brought Sol here.
The navigation map is in the center.
There are tall data memories here, standing around like bookshelves, recording all star data, movement trajectories, and related research in the star area.
That young man.
By the way, his name is Mal Niusk.
Marr started the navigation map instrument. It was a huge disk-shaped device. All the prisms hidden under the base were raised, and the surrounding light was projected to form a star map.
"My lord, what are you looking for?"
Mal asked cautiously, looking afraid he'd said something wrong.
"A planet."
Vito replied.
"Planet?"
he asked in surprise, then quickly hid his speechless expression, as if Vito was like every stupid visitor who comes here and doesn't know what to do.
"Um, sir, do you have any specific requirements?"
he said carefully.
"Such as location, coordinates, stars, etc.?"
"That's not a fixed planet. I want to find a planet that meets the requirements."
Vito held his hands behind his back.
“It needs to meet several requirements.”
"The first one is in the Tempestus galaxy."
Vito raised his finger.
"Secondly, a star in the growth stage cannot be too old or too small."
"Third, and most importantly, there must be no residents in that system, not any imperial city."
Mal pushed up his glasses after hearing this, and he began after thinking for a moment.
His fingers entered numbers on the keyboard in front of him, and the mouse moved along with the icons. Soon a planet appeared on the star map coordinate system.
"Corsis No. 17, this place meets your requirements."
Mal looked up and said, but Vito shook his head.
"No, it's too close. Find one farther away."
"Farther away?"
Mal asked.
"Just do it."
Vito's words seemed to frighten Mal. The inquisitor's order was unquestionable and he immediately obeyed it.
"Malvidaya No. 1?"
"The galaxy system is too big, and the Mandeville Point is too far away from the planet. There is no way to jump out in time."
"another."
Vito ordered.
Next, Mal changed several planets, just like an ancient emperor choosing a concubine to sleep with tonight. After a while of selection, Vito finally picked a planet.
"Kakas No. 27."
Mal said.
"This place has been abandoned for many years. It was abandoned after the Scarlet Crusade centuries ago. It is said that the blood of demons remains here. The residents who stayed here at that time were considered by the Inquisition."
Mal paused, as if it were a secret that must never be told.
His face looked bitter.
"Say, I'm not my peers."
Vito assured, hands behind his back.
"I won't kill you here, you won't die in a car accident on the way home, and you won't die in a gas explosion when you get home."
Mal shivered, thinking about what Vito had said and the other stories he'd heard about the Inquisition was scary enough.
"grown ups."
"Do not answer a questioning inquisitor with silence."
"yes!"
Mal responded to him like a tamed hound.
"The residents here were exposed to demons during the Scarlet Crusade and were considered by the Tribunal to be subject to serious mutations, so they were taken away on black ships. The Tribunal promised that they would be "properly placed""
"but"
"Yes, I know."
Vito said, looking at the star map.
It seems that the residents here are not as lucky as Armageddon. The Space Wolves are not here to protect them and save them from the guns of the Inquisition and the Gray Knights.
However, those refugees who were rescued by the Space Wolves and resettled after the conflict of the Moon of Shame did undergo many mutations, leading to Chaos corruption infection on various planets.
The Space Wolves took matters into their own hands.
As the ancient admonition of Fenris goes.
Those who choose mercy must bear the price for their choices, and those who sentence others to their fate must execute it with their own hands.
"This place meets all your requirements. The stars are in the growth stage, and the galaxy is not large in size. The mass point, well, the Mandeville point is just aside, and there are no residents."
Mal said carefully.
"Um, sir, is there anything else you need?"
"Gone."
Vito said and turned to leave.
"Thanks."
"My pleasure, my lord."
Vito left the library and returned to the palace hall.
He found Ragnar and the others here and made sure that they had properly collected the green-skinned bodies instead of letting the Ecclesiastical Church take them to the celebration and burn them.
"Omega, come here."
Vito said through the contact.
Omega also arrived after a while. He came from the landing site of Infinite Frontier on an Archaeopteryx and landed in front of Vito.
"Take this orc corpse aboard."
Vito pointed to the green-skinned headless corpse behind him and said that it was being tied up and being carried by Ragnar and Lancelot.
It's like carrying a piece of luggage.
"Put it into the escape capsule and send it to Kakas 27."
"Untreated greenskin corpses will produce spores."
Omega said in a mechanical voice, getting off the Archaeopteryx.
The lights of the city's celebration flickered behind him, making him feel like he was stepping out of the light.
The majestic Titan towered in the distance, standing above the lights of the city, the Imperial Titan surrounded by a ring of Warhounds.
"I know, and within a few weeks there will be a swarm of greenskins that will never stop growing."
Vito said with his arms crossed, a smile on his lips.
Omega noticed, and the mechanical eyes turned around a few times, showing a trace of hesitation and more curiosity.
"You have another idea, right?"
he asks.
Vito nodded, smiling that smile that only appeared when he came up with a plan.
And it’s a plan that no normal person can think of.
"Shoot him over as quickly as possible, remember not to get him on the ship."
"I don't want to waste time on my next warp voyage with a shipload of greenskins to deal with."
He said.
