Chapter 844: Interrogation Intelligence

The door slid open silently.

The room behind the door was not spacious, and the light was soft yet bright.

The furnishings were extremely simple, consisting only of a metal table in the center and a few chairs.

Yingzhou stood by the table, his back to the entrance, watching the data stream flowing on the wall—it was the battlefield follow-up report summarized in real-time by Selina.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yingzhou slowly turned around.

He was still wearing that simple dark robe, his expression calm and his gaze profound; he first let his eyes fall on Sanguinius, nodding slightly in acknowledgment, and then looked at the gaunt Jialuo behind Sanguinius.

"Father,"

Sanguinius touched his right hand lightly to his left chest, performing a simple salute.

"Task completed. The Feng Qi Xing Alliance Weiguang Fleet Commander, Major General Jialuo, has been brought here."

"You have worked hard, Sanguinius."

Yingzhou's voice was peaceful, revealing little emotion.

His gaze lingered on Jialuo for a moment before returning to the battlefield follow-up report.

At this moment, a figure emerged from the shadows on the other side of the room.

She was dressed in a red and white Xiunu habit, her posture upright, her face mostly hidden by the shadow of her hood, with only her tightly pursed lips visible.

Seeing Jialuo, Sister Katherine's eyes, hidden beneath the shadow, seemed to brighten.

She stepped forward and bowed deeply to Yingzhou.

"Your Majesty."

Yingzhou raised his hand slightly, pointing at Jialuo.

"Sister Katherine, this 'guest' is handed over to you. Use all your methods to pry his mouth open. I need to know everything about the Feng Qi Xing Alliance, especially... the actions they might take next. You are permitted to use necessary means, but ensure his brain function remains intact; what I need is information, not an empty shell."

"I shall strictly follow your will, Your Majesty!"

Sister Katherine's voice carried a hint of irrepressible excitement and fanaticism.

"In the name of the Emperor, no secret can remain hidden under the gaze of the Medical Order! I will clearly present everything he knows before you!"

She walked toward Jialuo, and that look made the otherwise numb Jialuo tremble subconsciously.

Sanguinius removed the force field restraining Jialuo.

"No! We can talk! I will be very cooperative with you all! Don't! Don't!!!"

Major General Jialuo's tone became increasingly agitated, especially as the woman walking toward him with a fanatical expression sent a chill down his spine.

However, Jialuo's words were ignored by Yingzhou and the others, and Sister Katherine, who was closest to Major General Jialuo, saw the Heretic before her shouting in front of the Emperor; she immediately kicked Jialuo to the ground and said in a pious tone.

"Heretic, you are very impolite! This is an act of blasphemy against the Emperor! You need discipline!"

Saying this, Sister Katherine grabbed Major General Jialuo, who was still trying to find an opportunity, and walked toward the Interrogation Room.

Jialuo watched the door of the Interrogation Room gradually close, finally letting out a howl of unwillingness, followed immediately by a round of "education" from Sister Katherine.

Only Yingzhou and his son Sanguinius remained in the room.

"A clean and decisive victory, Sanguinius."

Yingzhou turned his gaze back to Sanguinius, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible approval.

"You and your Blood Angels have displayed unparalleled courage and efficiency."

"Glory belongs to the Emperor, belongs to the Human race."

Sanguinius lowered his head slightly, then raised it, a hint of gravity flashing in his deep blue eyes.

"However, Father, behind the victory, we also saw the tenacity of our opponents. Their elite soldiers are well-equipped and have a stubborn will to fight; they are not a rabble. And..."

He paused, then continued.

"When I breached their flagship Bridge, their commander was attempting to establish communication with the rear. I intercepted that communication and had a brief... conversation with their superior—an Alien female named Fenisi."

Yingzhou's eyebrows raised slightly, signaling him to continue.

Sanguinius clearly recounted Fenisi's appearance, the olive branch she attempted to extend, and the process of her finally dropping threats, without adding any personal emotion.

Yingzhou listened quietly, his fingers tapping lightly on the metal table.

"Fenisi... pointed ears, green pupils..."

Yingzhou mused.

"Typical characteristics of certain psionically sensitive Alien races. Extending an olive branch is within expectations; the essence of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance is a casino chasing profit, and they naturally crave bringing powerful 'chips' into their fold. The final threat... is also not a bluff."

He looked at Sanguinius.

"You did well, Sanguinius. Your response was firm. The Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance will not submit; the Human race will never be slaves. This conflict, from the moment we decided to open the barrier, was already unavoidable."

"We need to be prepared, Father."

Sanguinius said in a deep voice.

"The 'next time' Fenisi spoke of will certainly not be long, and it will certainly not be just another fleet."

"Yes."

Yingzhou's gaze became sharp.

"Therefore, we need what is in Jialuo's brain. We need to know the true depth of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance's strength, their sphere of influence, and their war potential. After all..."

He paused, then continued.

"... After all, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

"Understood, Father."

Not long after, the other Primarchs arrived one after another.

Around the thick alloy round table, tall figures took their seats one by one.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Yingzhou at the head of the round table, and Selina, who stood by his side with the data stream in her eyes slowly calming down.

Yingzhou's gaze swept over his sons, nodding slightly; without any superfluous pleasantries, he went straight to the topic.

"Everyone is here. Selina, begin. Synchronize the interrogation summary of Xiunu Katherine and the information we decrypted from the enemy flagship's database for everyone."

"Yes, His Majesty."

Selina replied calmly.

The data streams in her eyes accelerated once more, and at the same time, the holographic projector in the center of the round table lit up, beginning to present a structured information graph.

"Target: Jialuo, Major General and Commander of the 'Weiguang Fleet' at the Feng Qi Xing Alliance Entertainment Plaza. Through repeated confirmation and interrogation by Xiunu Katherine, the intelligence credibility is assessed at 92.7%."

The holographic image began to flash with the organizational structure, overview of influence, distribution of major military forces, and... recent major military movements of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance.

"The Feng Qi Xing Alliance is essentially a military-industrial complex in the Bode Star System, with its core operating model being 'gladiator entertainment' and resource plundering. It directly controls twenty-seven star sectors. Its standing military forces are divided into the 'Core Garrison Fleet', the 'Frontier Strike Fleet', and a large number of attached Alien mercenary legions..."

The information flashed by one by one, and the Primarchs watched in Silence, each assessing the weight of this opponent in their hearts.

This was a behemoth, its territory and resources far exceeding the current Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance.
