The Vanguard Army Second Legion, Day 5 of march.
Only 370 kilometers remain to reach the Frostbound Wall.
Inside the transport vehicle, Lynn was examining the Orks "mong".
The main ingredient of that stuff is Orks fungus, a specialty of the Dorito Agri World, which is then cooked with the fattest Squig.
Furthermore, research indicates that these Orks prefer to eat them fresh out of the pot and hot.
Because after a while, the braised meat will become hard and lose its aroma, and its taste will not be as good as when it is fresh out of the pot.
As for why someone knew this, it's because a soldier had eaten some of the "stewed food" dropped by the Orks.
Later, a Orks grew in the soldier's stomach and choked him to death.
Fortunately, the army discovered the bodies in time and cremated the soldiers and the Orks soldiers, preventing a major disaster.
Lynn guessed they must be cooking this food at Brevis's camp, and perhaps they could tamper with it.
"It seems we'll have to find a way to check out the situation inside the Orks camp later."
Just then, the mini Ripper on Lynn's shoulder suddenly moved.
Rena's consciousness transmitted a warning:
"There's an unusual Psychic Power fluctuation within the team."
Lynn put down the Dataslate, her expression unchanged, but her heart sank.
They've arrived, just as expected.
From the moment he decided to expose Rena, he knew it would attract something sinister.
"Can you locate me?" Lynn asked through the system.
"It's blurry," Rena replied.
"The enemy has advanced counter-reconnaissance equipment that is not of Imperium standard, and their Psychic Power shielding is very strong."
"If it weren't for the slight residual fluctuations from her recent use of Psychic Power, I wouldn't have been able to detect her."
"She?"
"Female human, with high Psychic Power energy, and professionally trained."
Lynn narrowed his eyes. A professional Psyker, not equipped with Imperium technology—the answer was obvious.
The Ordo Hereticus, and its Inquisitor were radical.
They often use heretical methods to fight heresy, and are willing to go to any lengths to eradicate it.
Moreover, he specializes in killing human traitors within the Imperium, making him the Inquisitor that officials least want to encounter.
"Send people to search, but don't alert them. First, determine their location and intentions."
"Mm," Rena replied.
At that moment, a shadowy figure moved beside Lynn.
Lynn picked up the Dataslate again, pretending to continue reading the report.
Having experienced dealing with Cassius, he understood the importance of information gathering.
This time, he would absolutely not allow himself and Rena to be put in a passive position again.
Three hundred meters outside Lynn's guard, on the flank of the Second Legion.
Sorine Wimlot leaned against a the Rock, her light armor blending seamlessly into the snow.
This is the Aeldari Craftworld Aeldari " Shadow Walker Light Armour," with a built-in Psychic Power invisibility field generator.
It can distort light and Psychic Power signals to achieve optical invisibility and Psychic Power shielding, making it the pinnacle of Aeldari lightweight stealth equipment.
She is Inquisitor Ordo Hereticus the Calixis Sector division of the Inquisition, directly under Grand Inquisitor Abel Varo.
Three months ago, I was ordered to come to Brevis with the mission of assessing the threat level of the Icefield Mutants and finding evidence to classify them as heretics.
But now, her priorities have changed.
She witnessed the entire battle in the Shattered Canyon, and those "flying dragons" were about 70% similar in appearance to the flying units of the Tyranids.
But it is more powerful and graceful, especially the blue-green leader, whose Psychic Power energy intensity has reached at least the α level.
Even more suspiciously, those dragons only attacked the mutants, not the Imperial Army.
Governor Kerry von even had a brief eye contact with the leader of the Flying Dragons.
Sorine certainly knew about the legends of the Dragon of Frost, but after systematically studying Xenos knowledge and theory, she...
She knew that thing was definitely not Dragon of Frost, so she needed evidence.
Inquisitor cannot convict based on intuition, a saying often uttered by his teacher Abel.
Although she didn't take that statement seriously, things hadn't yet reached a point where she thought they were out of control.
She was willing to be more patient and see the dragons reappear and interact with the governor.
It is also necessary to confirm that those dragons are indeed Tyranids.
If it really Tyranids, then the entire Brevis may already be in the early stages of infection.
Governor-General Kerry von were among the first to be infected.
It must be purified!
Suddenly, Sorine felt a slight palpitation in her heart.
There was no danger warning; her Psychic Power detected no hostility.
It's more like it was scanned by something.
She immediately stopped all movement, activated the light armor to its maximum power, and remained completely still.
A few seconds later, the palpitation disappeared.
Sorine let out a breath.
This army includes Psyker, and they have very keen senses.
It could be the army chaplain, or it could be the governor himself.
The report indicates that he received the " Emperor's Blessing" during the Ecclesiarchy Mass, which usually signifies Psychic Power awakening.
She remembered this information and continued to observe.
In short, she didn't believe that the powerful " Dragon of Frost " would be hiding in the caravan.
Just when she thought everything was back to normal, she never expected that a terrifying Tyranids monster had already appeared behind her.
Lictor, one of the Tyranids's top assassins, has a body over three meters long covered in a color-changing carapace, enabling him to achieve perfect optical cloaking.
Its body structure is similar to that of a praying mantis, with forelimbs that are a pair of giant scythe-like claws. In a surprise attack, it can tear through the Terminator Armour defenses in one blow, resulting in a kill.
Upon learning that a Psyker was tracking Lynn, Rena first released a large area of Psychic Power to detect and cover up Lictor's actions.
Subsequently, through a mind link, the Zerg swarm's Shadow in the Warp provided Lictor with Psychic Power concealment, a common Tyranids counter -Psychic Power reconnaissance tactic.
Now, this extremely dangerous Tyranids assassin is less than ten meters behind Sorine, whenever it wants.
Sorine will die silently, without even feeling any pain.
But Lynn didn't let Rena kill her; that was a last resort.
Unlike Necromunda, it was merely a transitional platform for Lynn.
Brevis is the "farming" base that Lynn needs, if he kills this Inquisitor.
The outcome was predictable.
He didn't want to continue being a space wanderer.
Therefore, Sorine cannot die, or rather, she cannot die in Brevis, or even in the Silis System.
Upon learning that Lictor had successfully secured the position of Inquisitor, Lynn's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Lynn wanted to show these people the price of being his enemy.
