Penitent Knight

After the Inquisition was established, the Inquisitor within Inquisition did not immediately take action.

Instead, they followed the Military Department's orders.

The eleven members of the Council of the Long Night were assigned to different Legions.

"Sandamel, welcome back. The position of Flagship Officer has always been reserved for you."

"Thank you, Primarch."

"Haha, there's no need for formalities between us."

The Khan was very pleased that Sandamel was able to return.

This proves that the combat speed of the entire White Scars can be increased again.

At the same time, he also knew that Sandamel's return would not be so simple.

"Are you doing this for the Anti-Corruption?"

"Don't you, sir, want to Anti-Corruption?"

"Haha! If you were Chogoris's eagle, you would surely possess the sharpest eyes!"

Within the XVI Legion, Impetus returned to this location, temporarily Sejanus's position.

This is the first time since the Four Kings Council was established that someone from another Legion has held one of the four positions.

"Welcome, Impetus. I have studied the Evernight Code carefully, and your arrival will free us from our constraints."

"Thank you for your reliance and understanding, sir."

"It's all for the Imperium. I think Uncle would be very happy to see what you've done."

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere within other Legions, the First Legion was much more serious.

"Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you back?"

"Does the Lion want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Speak, you need to say at least two sentences."

"According to the Evernight Code Extraterritorial Enforcement Authority, as long as we are stationed in other Legiones Astartes, those Legiones Astartes will also have the same law enforcement powers as the Eighth Legion."

"The Imperium's Vermin thought that driving Uncle away would allow them to survive, but they were wrong. They had no idea that Uncle was a demon-suppressing ruler for us."

The Lion looked at Aequus.

"You have one more thing to say."

"On the Chivalric Way, Lion."

Chivalry?

"Heh, you're brave, but equally arrogant."

"I disagree, Lion."

"You look down on the First Legion?"

"No, the Astartes of the First Legion are undoubtedly admirable. Bearing secrets and facing darkness, they are undoubtedly qualified Knights in the Chivalry."

"I reiterate, the First Legion Has No Secrets, from the very beginning."

"That's what I disagree with, Lion."

Lion El'Jonson fell silent, simply staring at the young man from Nostramo in front of him.

"You can keep the second sentence to yourself; you can't say it out loud yet."

"You remain wise, Lion."

Lion El'Jonson didn't want to admit it, but he knew what Aequus was going to say.

The Astartes of the First Legion were perfectly in line with Chivalry, but they were not in line with the spirit of a Paladin.

Their excessive pursuit of honor, their confrontation with darkness, and their excessive guarding of secrets make them less than pure.

Or rather, in terms of the spirit of Paladins, their Chivalry was not pure, a fact Lion El'Jonson was aware of.

However, so far, the entire First Legion has always identified itself as Paladin.

Lion El'Jonson could tell that this kid Aequus Equice was no ordinary person.

He's not a Paladin.

If we consider his role as Inquisitor, he would be a Penitent Knight.

If you strip away his identity as Inquisitor, he would be a Dark Knight.

"The First Legion welcomes you, kid."

"I am only responsible for killing enemies and punishing them, not for keeping secrets, Lion."

"Then show me your resolve."

The subsequent battle fought by the First Legion's Dark Angels Squad impressed everyone.

Or rather, Aequus's fighting prowess surprised everyone.

Just how strong is he?

Specifically, this is a mission for a small squad, and this squad has four Astartes.

With the addition of Aequus, the team became a five-person team.

However, it was precisely because of his joining that the other four people were relegated to sinecure positions.

The moment he entered the battlefield, Aequus vanished into the shadows, and in less than three minutes, the entire enemy Fortress was completely wiped out.

Three minutes later, Aequus emerged from the ruins carrying a bloodstained sword.

"Brothers in arms, we need prisoners."

"Even if we capture them, they'll put up a stubborn resistance. Let's just kill them and save resources."

"This is a key enemy stronghold. We must obtain relevant intelligence. Even if they put up a stubborn resistance, we have ways to..."

"The other side has connections with Xenos warlords and has already informed them of our current whereabouts. That's all."

???

"You just interrogated him?"

"I only observed his consciousness."

Did you see the other person's consciousness?

"You saw his soul?"

"Believe me, brother, no one can withstand the interrogation of a Punisher Knight, neither body nor soul."

"This is vile Psychic Power Witchcraft! You are defiling honor!"

"This is just the Inquisitor's torture method. Besides, the First Legion Has No Secrets; that's a well-known secret, isn't it, cousin?"

The First Legion has its secrets, and he has his own secrets too, namely his Psychic Power talent.

If the First Legion Has No Secrets, then treat this as if you didn't see it.

"With war imminent, trials must be efficient, and for that, some less honorable means can be employed."

"You dare call yourself Knights?"

"First and foremost, I'm a Gang, and in my gang, efficiency is paramount."

"You..."

After finishing speaking, Aequus didn't even glance at the other person and returned directly to the Primarch's Flagship.

The idea that the Knights harbors a secret Gang is nonsense; he only hides that Gang side of himself in front of his Uncle.

Now that my Uncle is gone, firstly he was a Gang, secondly he was a Knights, and he might not even be a Knights at all.

Any crime will be brought to justice, no matter the means.

Even the Nine Laws of the Night Bats, which my Uncle advised me to use with caution.

"You did a good job, Aequus."

"In urgent situations, expediency is necessary; criminals who violate the Evernight Code should be eliminated."

Lion El'Jonson nodded in satisfaction, then took out a book.

"This is a petition signed by nobles at the time. You can allocate manpower as you see fit, and I hope you will make good use of it."

"I will, sir."

Meanwhile, in Terra.

Curze also began his own operation.

Noble Match-3 Game.

They would readily resort to exterminating three or nine generations of one's family.

Even if the opponent puts up a stubborn resistance, they will be completely dealt with by the suddenly appearing Astartes in a very short time.

Currently, the entire Terra is shrouded in a fear of absolute reason and absolute rule of law.

Of course, the fear was directed at the nobility.

As a result, the entire Evernight Code in Terra sold out immediately.

Each of the nobles carried a copy of the Evernight Code, wanting to examine it to see which Code they had violated and how they could evade punishment.

When Han Mingxuan was in Terra, the Evernight Code wasn't this popular.

But the more the nobles learned about it, the more terrifying it became.

Ultimately, they discovered that according to the Evernight Code, they were capable of dying 1,000 times.
