Seeing that Amilia was not coming out for a while, and understanding that these things should not be touched randomly by him, Zhang Ge could only randomly find a wall near the door to lean against. After a moment, he felt a little bored. Although he did not expect to be answered, he still casually asked the Sisters of Battle next to him:
"Can you tell me where this is? Never mind if it needs to be kept secret."
The Seraphim who was asked turned her head to look at Zhang Ge, feeling that his ignorant appearance and young face were too incongruous with what had just happened. She let out a chuckle and then replied:
"This is the Ecclesiarchy's High-Grade Inquisitorial Fortress. Even if the purging after the investigation fails, it can delay the most dangerous enemies of the Imperium after being locked down. In my impression, no one who has been brought here has been able to get out alive. You are the first."
The most dangerous enemy? That should refer to a figure at the level of the Great Daemon, right?
He knocked on the iron wall and asked again:
"How thick is this thing?"
"I don't know about that. I haven't looked into it, but it should be a thousand or two meters upwards, and it's slightly weaker downwards, but it's not less than a thousand meters. It's also more than a thousand meters to the left and right."
Haha, did he hear wrong?
"One or two meters? That's quite thick."
"One or two thousand meters."
Zhang Ge was silent.
"Is this building built inside the isolation wall?"
"Of course not. You'll see it when you go outside. It's a huge square monolith, with the legends of the thirteen Living Saint carved on the surface by several families over the course of 130 years."
A square with sides of more than 2,000 meters.
In other words, just to lock people... or something in it, the Ecclesiarchy built such a giant prison measuring in kilometers.
For the first time so directly, Zhang Ge had an impression of the production capacity that could maintain a hive city that could barely operate normally while accommodating 30 billion people.
No wonder the Mechanicus old fogeys were so generous when giving things. After this level of production capacity fully transitioned to militarization, even if it was dragged down by various cumbersome procedures, as long as it could be mass-produced, the equipment he had asked for before was probably not enough for a few hours of Sky Eagle Port's production.
Hearing this, Zhang Ge didn't dare to ask any more questions. He was afraid that if he knew too much, he wouldn't be able to get away with saying he didn't know when he wanted something.
After a short period of time, Amilia, who had changed into another set of Power Armor, walked out with Canoness Superior Blythe.
Compared to the other party's somewhat dazzling armor, Zhang Ge suddenly had the illusion that he was Amilia's follower.
And the badge on the power armor that was used to indicate identity had naturally been replaced with the badge of Canoness Superior.
Thinking of this, looking at the various gorgeous decorations on Amilia's body, Zhang Ge stroked his chin and suddenly thought of a way to eliminate the previous "request" with the lowest impact.
He asked Amilia:
"Do the Sisters of Battle have a lot of...luxury goods quotas?"
"Hmm? Are you referring to the things on the armor?"
Amilia understood what he wanted to ask when she saw Zhang Ge's gaze, and then continued to answer:
"If you are referring to these things, there are indeed a lot, but according to experience, these things can indeed play a certain protective role when facing Chaos, especially on a spiritual level, so it is a necessary waste."
"No, no, I'm not questioning this aspect. What I mean is, since you can let me make a request, can I use part of the quota in exchange for... um, some corresponding high-quality foods and wines, and then I'll prepare them?"
This was Amilia's blind spot, so she turned her gaze to Canoness Superior Blythe.
The latter then replied:
"No problem. I will tell you the amount after the statistics."
Planning success.
After expressing simple thanks to Canoness Superior Blythe, Zhang Ge left with Amilia, Amilia with Heloise and Dominica, following the way back.
Killing two birds with one stone, both using up the request and not improving combat effectiveness.
The Astra Militarum barely need to worry about morale issues in the first place, and eating delicious food and drinking delicious drinks would not have a high incentive effect, and it could also be used to use up this request, and even he could enjoy it together.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ge's mood, which had been lowered slightly because of the investigation, improved. After using up this request, this investigation was approximately equal to no win, no loss.
No, on second thought, the time had been wasted for real, so the day of welcoming the Ordo Hereticus was getting closer, so if he rounded it up again, wouldn't that become him winning?
Having picked up the Ordo Hereticus stormtrooper who had just been kicked aside not long ago, under Zhang Ge's unique theory of winning and losing, he finally adjusted his emotions back.
On the way, seeing that Amilia did not mean to say the content of the conversation, Zhang Ge did not ask any more questions. The four of them quietly returned to the Valkyrie cabin.
Bang.
"Is there..."
Zhang Ge just wanted to ask if there was a sound. Looking at Amilia, who suddenly drew her sword vigilantly next to him, he knew that the second half of the sentence did not need to be said.
He held the bolter in his hand, and the four of them quickly left the cabin again. At the same time, before Zhang Ge could ask Dominica to call people in, Canoness Superior Blythe, who had just separated, rushed out with a group of Sisters of Battle.
Another muffled sound.
The alarm began to sound shrilly and echo. Alloy gates slowly began to close from top to bottom along the metal well wall.
Blythe's face was a little ugly.
Enemy attack? In such a core location? And at such a coincidental time?
She tried to call Calgar through her Vox Network, but could only hear the faulty crackling static.
But even at this time, Blythe did not panic. Assuming that she could only rely on her own strength, she immediately made a judgment: she could not retreat to defend.
Because in order to ensure confidentiality, this elevating deep well was the only exit. If the enemy had the power to reach the core, then these Sisters of Battle would only delay the time of death if they defended to the death.
Dying was just dying normally, and it would not be a loss to kill more enemies of the Emperor by taking advantage of the terrain, but the situation was different now. Although she did not know why Zhang Ge would become the core of the Emperor's intervention before, there was no doubt that he was a key part of the plan.
They had to break out at the moment when the enemy broke in in order to create a breakthrough, at least to send Zhang Ge away.
Having made such a decision, Blythe deployed all of her little strength in the surrounding circle.
Muffled sounds gradually approached, each one pressing down on the top of the head.
Until the last alloy door suddenly dented in a loud bang that sounded like a collision.
In the next hit, it was directly smashed open from the inside.
A blue giant crashed down, followed by a group of gold and blue Victrix Honour Guard.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Calgar? He was slightly surprised when he saw Blythe. Blythe was even more surprised to see that it was Calgar. The two said at the same time:
"You're still alive?"
"Have you rebelled?!"
