Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 143

  Chapter 143 The Last Era: The Winner of the Expedition Competition

Loken looked around at the shattered wreckage in the throne room. The golden throne had been smashed into pieces by a bolter. It was ironic to say that since the "emperor" here also claimed to be the ruler and savior of mankind, even the palace The decorations are all like the real emperor.

The young company commander took two steps and stepped on a piece of torn silk. He looked down at the gorgeous tapestry silk scarf, which depicted the shining stars and the "great lord" sitting among the stars. On the top of the throne above, shining endless light on this galaxy.

  Captain Garviel Loken raised his head. He looked at Sergeant Rutgers who was walking beside him. He was walking with a battle-scarred bolter.

"Company commander, we have emptied the catacombs, and the enemies inside have been wiped out." Rogers walked in front of Loken, and he and the company commander stood in the sun-drenched broken palace, everything here is already attacking suffered varying degrees of damage.

   "The enemies here are really tenacious. Their invisible fighters have caused a lot of casualties to my platoon. The Mechanic Church will definitely be very interested in their technology."

"I think so, sergeant, but the most important thing is that we have completed the mission, the palace has been captured, and their emperor is dead." Loken said and looked at the throne, where a few roots fell on the ruins of the throne. Burnt black bones, the emperor displayed powerful spiritual power when Loken and his party charged here, killing many soldiers.

But in the end, Loken rushed up under the cover of his brothers, and killed the **** with a melta grenade. His flesh and blood disintegrated, and there were not many bones left, only a few scorched charcoal bones bulging blue. cigarette.

   Loken turned his head and looked out of the window. There was a whole row of huge floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the throne room. In the past, there were exquisite glazed windows on those windows, but now there is only a ground of broken glass scum.

The knight Titan is walking slowly in the ruins of the city outside the window. The tall Titan is walking in the city, but its size is so small and inconspicuous compared with the taller, burly, and shocking mechanical called the God Soldier behind him. .

The burly emperor-class titan stepped in the city, and the emperor-class titan of Vengeance crushed the buildings in the city. Its height far surpassed all the skyscrapers in the city, and those giant buildings crashed under the impact of the titan. collapsed, and its fall brought a tremor that shook the earth into the palace.

Loken can clearly feel the power of the Titan, feel the boundless power of the God of Myriad Opportunities, just like its name, Emperor Level, the name itself represents unparalleled power, and that name is destined to be the one in the galaxy. A great existence that cannot be challenged.

Footsteps could be heard in the palace outside the throne, and the space fighters were moving around, sweeping the corridors and emptying the broken barricades. Although in theory they could wait for the servitors to do this, Loken has always been more He is willing to lead people to do these things by himself, he doesn't like to pass the time by waiting, he prefers to take the initiative.

   "Congratulations, Captain, you have won the game." Rogers said with a smile, and Loken, who had short blond hair, turned his head and looked at him slightly differently.

   "Competition?" "Of course, everyone in the legion knows that you are competing with the first company commander to see who can win the palace first. Now you have won, company commander."

   "No, Rogers, the mission is the most important. This mission was bestowed on me by the Warmaster himself. My mission should go beyond my vanity." Loken said solemnly, as serious as ever.

   "Then it's up to me to congratulate you, Loken." A thick, familiar voice sounded behind him. Loken looked over and immediately knelt down to salute without hesitation.

  Rotgers also knelt down without any hesitation, and they lowered their heads to face the approaching wolf god, the most respected and beloved person of all the Shadow Moon Wolves.

"Warmaster, I didn't expect you to come here." Loken said in fear, Horus walked up to him with a smile, the tall wolf **** looked around the entire broken palace, the shadow moon wolf and the empire's flag It was flying over the roof of the palace and could be seen from afar, so Horus didn't need to ask any more.

   "I entrust you with the mission, Loken, of course I should come here to review your achievements and give you joyful congratulations." "Thank you! Warmaster, I am extremely honored!"

   Horus looked at the bowed Loken and smiled, he slightly raised his hand to signal, "Look up, Captain Loken, you are the winner."

   Loken raised his head.

   Then he noticed Abaddon behind Horus, who also looked at Loken with a smile, "Congratulations, Captain, you have won."

   "Winning or losing is not important, I completed the mission, that's the most important thing." Loken said, "Glory should give way to duty, the emperor taught us so."

"It seems that you have learned well, Loken, but glory is also necessary. Only glory can make us always remember our mission and responsibility, and you have done a good job in glory." Horus affirmed Approving Loken, he made Loken stand up and held his shoulder.

"It is indeed a correct decision for me to choose you as the commander of the tenth company. You have proved that you can take on this important task." The Warmaster said with a smile, and Loken responded immediately. He quickly stood at attention and saluted the Warmaster. "In the name of you and the Emperor! I will swear to the death to fulfill my duty! Never betray!"

   "Very well, Loken, but I prefer you to live to fulfill your duties." Horus said with a smile, and patted Loken on the shoulder heavily.

Vito stood aside and also smiled. He glanced at Abaddon, and the captain of the company also showed that iconic semi-sarcastic smile. Others might think that Abaddon was very dissatisfied, but Vito knew that this was the beginning. They are practicing.

In the beginning, everything was designed by Horus. He deliberately asked the new company commander to attend the pre-battle meeting, deliberately proposed the beheading task of attacking the palace, and then asked Loken to ask for orders. He knew that Loken had been troubled by the fact that he was the youngest company commander. Glory, but also many tribute titles, he is eager to prove himself.

So Horus decided to help him, he asked Abaddon to jump out to fight Loken, and then got involved in the game, and then he asked Loken to compete with the first company commander, and let the legion go up and down all know.

  Then the old father came down quietly and acted with Abaddon. In fact, he helped Loken clear the obstacles and intercept the enemy on the periphery, so that he could win the victory and also win the respect and recognition of the legion.

  No one knew that Horus arranged all this, and no one knew that he helped Loken. To everyone, it was just that Loken won the game and defeated the illustrious first company commander.

  Loken regained his confidence, glory, and performed his mission conscientiously. This is what Horus hoped for and what Loken himself needed. He only needed a little recognition and confidence, and now he has it.

  From now on, the youngest company commander is no longer a cumbersome title, but a real honor, a title that can make Loken never forget his duties.

   Horus has been paying attention to him, he has been paying attention to every officer under his command, he knows very well what his offspring are thinking, what they desire and what they dream of, just as he also knows each of his genetic brothers.

  The strongest thing about Horus is that he will give you what you desire by knocking around at just the right time, but he will not notice that it is a gift from the Warmaster.

That's why he's the Warmaster, why the Emperor chose him to be the Warmaster, only the Angels in the galaxy can do the same, and they're the best brothers, the closest of all brothers close.

"But we can take this planet so quickly, thanks also to Marshal Vito. Without his excellent command and assistance, this must have been a hard battle." Horus turned to look at Vito with a smile, and the latter also Holding hands with a smile on his face.

   Loken looked at Vito and nodded affirmatively, "Thank you, Marshal, I know that you have provided a lot of help to my company, Torgaton told me."

"I hope you don't have any objections, Captain." Vito smiled and looked at Abaddon beside him. The Captain with his unique braid laughed loudly. Fine dust in sunlight after the Great War.

   "Just remember to help me next time, Marshal." Abaddon laughed and said, he swept away the mocking smile and looked at Vito, there was no trace of sarcasm, contempt or disrespect in his eyes.

In fact, Abaddon respects Vito very much. This is rarely true. Abaddon is a person who has a huge self-esteem. He is the same as the egomaniacs of the Emperor's Children in this respect. , and even reveal their inner thoughts unabashedly.

Only a few people he would really respect, the list is not long, including Horus and several Primarchs, and this very short list of recognition has Vito's name on it, and it is also ranked second, only Second to Horus.

Vito has long won the respect of Abaddon with his outstanding talent, unparalleled command skills and powerful strength, and it is commendable that Vito is not arrogant at all, very easy-going, and can get along with almost anyone Relationship, not only Abaddon, many people respect him.

  This of course also includes Loken, who nodded respectfully to Vito, and the marshal in purple also paid respect to him.

   Horus also looked at Vito and smiled, then looked around the broken palace, "We will rebuild here, of course, the throne and the like need to be cleared, and then used as the administrative residence of the local governor."

   "Rebuilding order, cleaning up ruins and repairing the city, these tasks are very complicated, Vito, I hope you are not going to let me do it, you know, I have always hated it"

   "Paperwork and wrangling with bureaucrats, I know." Vito shrugged with a smile, he twirled his fingers and looked quite casual, not meeting the Warmaster at all, but chatting with his best friend.

   "Don't worry, old friend, I told you that everything has been arranged, and no one will bother you. The master builders of the Imperial Fist will be directly responsible for the reconstruction work, and they told me that Dorne will also come."

"Oh? Dorne? My good brother seldom comes to visit, we have to treat him well." Horus laughed and said, looking at Vito with a bright face, "Let me arrange this myself Let Dawn feel the enthusiasm of the wolves!"

  Vito stood among the giants, he watched them talking and laughing with each other, the conspiracy of war was swept away in an instant, and now only the friendship between brothers remained, and the happy conversation between father and son was nothing more.

  Vito smiled and felt the tranquility and happiness at the moment. He liked the moment after each battle, when everyone opened up to each other, laughed and communicated, regardless of their identities.

   Unfortunately, his enjoyment time was interrupted.

Vito raised the communicator and quietly walked aside, but this move did not escape Horus' attention. He noticed Vito's departure, and followed Vito's attention when talking with Abaddon Loken and others. footprint.

  Vito walked behind the colonnade, which was full of fallen ruins and rubble. Vito walked around the wreckage and walked to the window. He stood in front of the huge broken floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the city ruins outside.

  The communication was opened, Horus looked at Vito's expression quickly darkened, and turned to anger, real anger.

Horus frowned, and he signaled them to leave for a while. Loken looked in Horus' direction and wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Abaddon. The company commander shook his head slightly as he watched Horus walk towards Vito. , Loken also hesitated for a moment and chose to continue chatting with Abaddon, and several of them took the initiative to walk away.

  They left enough space for the two of them, and prevented the Warmaster's voice from being heard outside the door, and the legion recruits who heard the news and planned to take a look at the Warmaster.

   Horus walked up to Vito, looked at his gloomy and angry face, "What happened?"

"The Emperor and Guilliman are going to blow up the Perfect City." Vito said, Horus looked at Vito in shock, and then looked outside at the ruined city, "What?! Are they crazy? !"

  "The old **** said he would punish Lorgar. When he went to conquer Falks, he still chose to preach and preach instead of taking down the planet quickly, which angered the old bastard."

   Vito said through gritted teeth, but Horus could see that he was not resenting Lorgar, but the Emperor himself.

   "I have to stop him, watch those two idiots do stupid things, and give me a boat." "No! I'm going with you!"

Horus said, but Vito shook his head immediately, "Absolutely not, you are the Warmaster, you can't directly conflict with the Emperor, I will go, he will give me face, Guilliman dare not take me What's the matter?"

  The Warmaster was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I'll give you the Fire of Betrayal, and you can take it to Perfect City and stop those two idiots."

Vito nodded, heaved a long sigh and pressed the window frame, Horus looked at Vito and gently pressed his shoulder, "No matter what happens in the future, my brother, I will support you. "

   "Me too, Horus, me too"

  They looked at the burning city together, as if the galaxy was also burning.
