Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 105

  Chapter 105 The Last Era: The Mission of the Astartes

Bell looked at the data panel in his hand, and there was a fluorescent green connection display in front of him. That thing was connected to Thunderhawk's external engine, and the long triple cable was inserted into the data slot on the side of the engine. Bell's Eyes carefully watched rows of data across the screen.

  His thick fingers clicked on a huge screen, the machine soul in the engine began to execute the program commands, and the line-by-line self-test programs began to run efficiently.

"Thunderhawk, it's ready." Omega said, holding a censer in the nose of the aircraft, surrounded by several machine servants who were loading bombs, these soulless servants were walking around stiffly, several machine servants worked together to The ammunition link clip was inserted into the conveyor belt, and soon a string of explosive bombs slid past the side viewing port.

"The ammunition has basically been replenished, and the soul of the machine has been appeased." Omega said word by word, and the mechanical arm behind him began to point at the thinker panel on one side, and a row of Thunderhawk data in the hangar appeared on the In front of him.

  Omega confirmed the readiness of each Thunderhawk, and through the signal transmitter implanted in the brain, the order was transmitted to the servants in the hangar for the next step.

"Yes, Omega, everything is going very well." Bell said without raising his head, but continued to concentrate on checking the procedures. Every time the Blue Shark takes off, Bell will conduct the final inspection. He is not just the pilot. Also a mechanic, and a very good one at that.

Omega looked at the data panel, a series of data information flashed before his eyes, and complex orders began to be issued to various execution units, "You are an excellent follower of the Mechanic God, Bell, and you have proved once again that the Ultimate Warrior Unusual talent in so many ways.”

   "No, I'm just better at this." Bell said, a laugh sounded behind him, "Then you are really a pharmacist, have you ever thought about changing careers?"

Bell turned his head and saw Vito behind him. He came between several stiff servants. The judge had already stepped on his weapon and took off that extremely fancy cloak. Now he is the same as every time Just like before departure, neat and simple.

  Vito was only wearing a black jacket, with a bolter and a chainsaw sword hanging from his belt. Vito smiled and looked at the Ultramarine in front of him, "You are very good at this, Bell."

  "Indeed, but I prefer to help my brothers directly. The machine may bring victory, but I prefer to save my brothers' lives."

"Flesh and flesh are weak, Bell, you should draw more power from the machine to replace the fragile flesh and blood." Omega continued to speak mechanically, but Bell and Vito were already used to his electronic voice that was more ecstatic than ordinary priests up.

  Bell looked at Omega and shook his head slightly, "My dear friend, this is our difference. I believe that flesh and blood can give us more power that machines cannot provide. We should cherish the flesh that the emperor gave us."

"Your words are not in line with the efficiency theory and Astartes' combat guidelines." Omega then said, but soon stopped because Vito raised his hand, and Vito smiled and looked at Omega Gal.

   "Okay, Octopus, let me and Bell be alone for a while? You can talk about this kind of academic issue after you come down." "Of course, judge."

Bell looked at Omega who walked away with a little confusion. He only left the soulless machine servants here to continue working. They couldn't interrupt or think and listen. Him and Vito.

"We are ready, judge, and the Blue Shark will be ready to take off soon. I have simulated the flight data and weapon configuration." Bell said holding the data board, obviously it has completed a lot of work efficiently, Vito also Nodding slightly approvingly, he walked to the ammunition box next to Vito.

The judge sat on it, pointed to the intelligent control ammunition transport vehicle opposite, and pointed to the shelf platform that appeared after it had been unloaded, "I know, sit down, and call me when we are in private." Vito."

  Bell looked at the transport vehicle, and then at the busy machine servant, Vito smiled and leaned on the box with his hands in his arms, "Okay, they are almost done, sit down and have a rest."

  Bell didn't refuse any more, he sat down on the pallet of the transport vehicle, and the moment the tall giant sat down, the whole vehicle shook.

"What are you worrying about, Bell, I know." Vito said, looking at the giant in front of him, the son of Macragge raised his eyes and looked at Vito and was silent for a moment, "I'm thinking about combat, field medicine and the black market The structure diagram of the fortress, I."

"No, Bell, you are anxious to think that we should abandon this battle and let the Space Wolves handle it themselves, and we should immediately go to the destination to find the way to revive Guilliman before Chaos finds us entering the Eye of Terror." method."

  Vito looked at Bell and said tactfully, quite straightforwardly, "You think we are living up to our mission and wasting our lives on an unimportant thing, something that is not worth our sacrifice."

   "No!" Bell said, standing up, waving his arms and shouting, "No, never! I don't think so! I won't leave my brothers!"

"But that's what you think, Bell. I know you won't do this, but your heart is struggling and trembling." Vito said calmly, looking at the giant in front of him, completely ignoring the hostility in Bell's eyes, although It existed only for a brief moment, but a moment of rage in an Astartes is enough to scare a mortal to death.

"You think I'm a coward? Vito, you think I'm afraid of sacrifice?" Bell said, but Vito shook his head calmly. Confused about whose mission to give allegiance to."

  Bell was stunned, and Vito looked into the eyes of the giant and continued, "You are struggling with whether you should serve the Emperor or your Primarch, whose mission is more important."

  The pharmacist fell silent. He turned sideways to look at the busy machine servants and remained silent for a long time, but finally he sat down as if venting his strength, and the Ultramarine with blue shoulder armor sat weakly on the car floor.

  Bell looked at his big hand and lowered his head, "I don't know, Vito, I don't mind dying for the Emperor, you know I won't be afraid, I was ready the moment I became an Ultramarine."

   "But I'm also an Ultramarine, and I want to awaken my Primarch, save him, save my Primarch, my...father."

  Vito looked at Bell, and hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes for a moment. He seemed to see a warrior in white armor for a moment. His face was so similar to his primarch, and his sad emotions overlapped so much.

"I don't know whose order I should obey, whether to obey the Emperor's abandonment of my Primarch, or to save the Primarch, my father's duty and abandon the Emperor's mission, I don't know Vito, I don't know .”

   "I'm like" "Those traitors."

Bell raised his eyes when the word came out, but quickly buried them in disappointment, he sighed and did not make sophistry, "Yes, like those traitors, I let my personal emotions take the lead, so that It makes me doubt my mission, which is a precursor to rebellion."

Vito took a deep breath and leaned against the box, "Many space warriors have faced the same dilemma as you. They had to choose between their allegiance to the Emperor and the Empire, or their allegiance to their father. Some people chose Over the former, some people choose the latter."

Vito said, he looked at the warrior in front of him, this learned and thoughtful warrior, he also raised his eyes to look at Vito, he knew that Vito was talking about the traitors during the Horus Heresy, he was in Ma I have read those documents in the library of Kura.

   "What am I supposed to do? Vito, who am I supposed to serve? My Chapter? My Gene-Father? Or the Emperor and the Empire?"

"Bell, let me ask you a question. Do you think Guilliman was still in the Galactica when the subspace storm engulfed the galaxy, and if he left with the Legion, he would probably kill the entire Macragge Starfield? Knowing that Tyra is still alive, and the Emperor is still alive, lead the entire legion to follow the Blood Angels and Dark Angels to fight against Tyra?"

"He was born in Macragge and grew up in Macragge, the home of his adoptive father, Conor Guilliman, and adoptive mother, Tarasa Eudon. At that time, even his adoptive mother was still alive. Why did Guilliman want to At the risk of burning the entire Macragge, you want to take the entire legion to fight on Terra?"

  Bell listened to what Vito said, and listened quietly. The judge looked aside, looking at those busy machine servants, their mechanical eyes flashing red light in the darkness.

"Does Guilliman love the Emperor or his homeland more? I think you have the answer. He spent a lot of thought on building his homeland, making Macragge the most beautiful paradise. Of course he loves it. , love the people there even more.”

"If he didn't love, Bell, he would have let the Lion King use extreme means to force Curze out at that time, but he didn't, because he loved his people, the people of Macragge, but he decided to go to Tyra."

   "Is it because of love for the Emperor? Because he is his father? No, Bell, he doesn't like him. He said his father was Conor Guilliman, not the Emperor."

Bell stood up subconsciously, the anger of the angry giant existed for a moment, but soon he watched Vito go out, he would not deceive himself, Bell knew that he was not a cultist, if he was, he would not Will wait until today.

Vito smiled and looked at Bell, "Yes, many traitors will say that, but what I want to tell you is Bell, he doesn't love the Emperor, but he loves all mankind as much as the Emperor, this is what Guilliman The reason why you would do that."

"Your father knew very well that if he just left himself selflessly in Macragge, it is true that the five hundred worlds would have been spared, but after that? After the traitors killed the Emperor and took Terra, Macragge What will happen?"

Bell looked at Vito silently, and the latter knew that this kind of question didn't need to be explained by himself. In the death watch team, Bell was the only one who didn't need Vito to waste time and give any explanation. He was very smart, even better than most of them. The Ultramarines are smarter.

  Vito slightly raised his hand, "Your father knows what is right to do, and what kind of love is right. His allegiance is not to the Emperor, but to all mankind, Bell, to all mankind."

"If it wasn't so, after Guilliman's rebellion subsided, he held the largest Astartes armed force in the entire empire, with more than 300,000 Ultramarines, more than all the loyalist legions combined at that time. It is absolutely possible to call yourself emperor and take over the position of the emperor to become the new master."

"But he didn't. He didn't try to usurp the throne like Horus did. Do you know why? Because when Guilliman joined the Emperor and went to the Star Sea, everything he had belonged to humans, his people, and his Life, his business and all are for the sake of all mankind."

   "It was, and it was, so he chose to be loyal, loyal to his people, he did not usurp the throne, and then led the Ultramarines against all threats, until he himself sat in a static position."

"Bell, what your father is loyal to is his own dream, his people, and what the emperor expects. People have forgotten what the emperor wants to do with the dead angels. What he wants, what your father wants All I want is to help our people, to help our compatriots."

Vito said and pointed to the distance, and Bell looked over. He saw Ragnar and Lancelot fighting in the hall, the Space Wolves who were making noise around them, and even saw Olaf and Lilith , and those ground crews.

"Many Astartes forget that although they have superhuman bodies, this body is the cause they swore to dedicate everything to the Emperor, and what the Emperor wants is their welfare for all mankind .”

"Some people arrogantly think that they are no longer human beings, whether they are primarchs or traitors, they all think that they are not human beings. It is this arrogance that makes them forget their mission. Chaos is the result of this. Those who took advantage of it, their arrogance and arrogance, their superiority allowed Chaos to sneak into their hearts, and this is how the rebellion happened."

"But your father didn't, and neither did their fathers." Vito said, looking at the wolves, "Your father remembered what they joined the Great Crusade for, and they remembered what they were for in the first place, so they didn't Mutiny, their allegiance belongs as always to them, to their people, to all humanity."

  Bell looked at them in silence, with many thoughts flashing in his eyes.

  Vito looked at the giant with a smile, "So, my friend, imagine, if your father were here, what would he do? Would he let the black market fortress pass? Or fight up and defend everything he loves."

  Bell turned his head. He looked at Vito and smiled. It was a smile like a big stone falling from his heart. He took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh.

   "Thank you, Vito, I think a lot." "You're welcome, my friend, he'll be proud of you."

  Vito jumped down, looked at Bell with his hands on his hips and said with a smile, and the latter also smiled and nodded slightly.

But when the two smiling faces met each other, the alarm suddenly sounded, and the eye-catching warning red lights began to flash in the entire hangar. The ground crew immediately cut off the oil pipeline and began to clear the runway. The space wolf space warriors ran in groups. Platoons quickly gather around their commanders as units.

Ragnar and Lancelot climbed up, and all the wild wolves watching the excitement gathered around. With a roar that resounded through the hangar, all the soldiers rushed towards their own Thunderhawk amidst howling wolves. .

  The giants stepped on the boarding deck and rushed into the Thunderhawk. The burly giants stepped across the runway, and the ground crew quickly gave way to the wolves who were about to attack.

  Bell smiled and picked up the bolt gun from one side and held it in his hand, "Come on, judge, let us fulfill the common mission entrusted to us by the emperor and the Primarch."

  Vito smiled and pulled out the bolt gun and carried it on his shoulder, "I'm so happy."
