Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 253

  Chapter 253 Rise of the Primarch: Requests and Promises

Boots with silver patches stepped forward on the reflective marble floor tiles. The bright sunlight at noon came in from the glazed windows at the top of the promenade, and slices of sunlight shredded onto the towering walls on both sides, illuminating All the murals and three-dimensional reliefs on it are illuminated.

  Sunlight glides across the faces of those sculptures, and the statues of men and women bathe in bright sunlight, and their bodies made of alabaster reflect the sunlight on the purple battle suits that rise and fall with their steps.

Although the reflected light was not too strong, the golden buttons adorning his chest and shoulders were still shining with golden light, and the marshal's epaulets on his shoulders flickered intermittently at different angles as he walked, and the scarlet battle robe emerged from the epaulettes. It slid down to the ground, and the eye-catching red color became even brighter and brighter in the sunlight.

Vito's boots rattled on the ground, his right arm was completely covered under the red battle robe, the hilt of the phoenix sword protruded from the corner of the robe, the soaring phoenix shone like nirvana in the reflection of the sun, the phoenix The hilt, along with all the decorations, give Vito a majestic and unmistakable look.

He stalked through the corridor, and walked past the walls and statues illuminated by the slanting sunlight. Vito's eyes looked forward from under the purple-black brim of the military cap, and the black pupils that were dotted with light flickered. With golden light.

  The Supreme Marshal raised his head forward, and his eyes saw a group of Ultramarines coming from the other end of the corridor. It was a group of recruits from the tenth company, and the group was talking and laughing as they followed the squad leader.

  The squad leader was chatting with one person. The smiling face immediately disappeared after noticing Vito. The squad leader immediately stopped and strode aside, stood sideways, and said, "The whole class line up!"

The recruits of the Ultramarines didn't know what happened at first, but when they also smiled and looked forward, everyone shut up immediately, and the nine recruits immediately ran to the squad leader and stood in line. After the alignment, all ten Astartes in the class stood at attention.

Vito watched them walk away with a wry smile, he raised his hand and waved it helplessly, "Okay, you..." before Vito finished speaking, ten people knelt down on one knee, and the Ultramarines bowed their heads to Vito. Thor bowed his head in surrender.

"I salute you, Supreme Marshal." The whole class said at the same time, the voice resounded like thunder echoing in the corridor, Vito looked at them in embarrassment, he looked at the blue-armored soldiers whose backs were illuminated by the sun and smiled wryly Unbearable.

   To be honest, Vito hasn't gotten used to this feeling, or in fact, he didn't like people kneeling when they saw him back then, which always made him feel like a greedy and arrogant nobleman.

"Okay, squad leader, let your people stand up." Vito said with a wry smile. The squad leader raised his head and looked at the hesitation in front of him for a moment before nodding. He stood up and stepped forward to shout at the soldiers, "You hear The Marshal's order! Everyone stand up!"

  Nine Ultramarines stood up at the same time, and stood in a row with their heads held high. The sun shone on their chests, shining the logo of the Ultramarines. Their squad leader also joined the queue and stood at attention.

"Reporting to Marshal, the 10th Company Pephiros Valkrill trainee sergeant is leading the sixth squad to the training ground for training, please give instructions!" The squad leader said in a loud voice, standing with the soldiers with his chest held high. Together, everyone was looking at the wall in front of them instead of themselves, and everyone's expressions were tense and awed, which made Vito feel uncomfortable.

  He scratched his head and looked at the soldiers in front of him. Vito sighed after some thought, "Wait a minute, how to get to the Limit Hall." "Turn right at the end, Your Excellency the Marshal."

  The squad leader said loudly, Vito's eardrums were aching with that loud voice, the squad leader looked at Vito with a face full of compliance, "Do you need to send soldiers to **** you? Your Excellency."

  Vito smiled bitterly speechlessly, he shook his head, "No need, please continue to do what you should do." "As you wish, Your Excellency Marshal, courage and glory!"

The trainee sergeant squad leader turned to the other side as he spoke. He led the soldiers in a neat row and walked past Vito. The latter looked at them with a strange expression on his face. He pulled down his military cap to hide his face, but it didn't help at all.

Vito ran into another team of Ultramarines just a few steps away, and they also knelt down before Vito could say anything. Vito looked at the leader of the Ultramarines with a wry smile, "Sergeant, no matter what you do, Whatever, please don't mind me and carry it out."

   "Of order, Your Excellency!" said the sergeant major and stood up. He and several company combat brothers behind him held their heads high and beat their chests. Almost at the same time, several of them reported thunderous honorifics to Vito, "Courage and glory!"

Vito looked at them helplessly and saluted. He continued to move forward without waiting for the soldiers to respond. Along the way, he knew how conspicuous Fulgrim's clothes were. Along the way, not only all Ultramarines would Standing at attention without hesitation, even those chapter servants who didn't know him could recognize him.

  The fighters will stand at attention on both sides and ask for orders. If you don't give an order, they will stand there forever, so Vito is forced to repeat the short order repeatedly, just like a repeater.

But even so his face is sore from laughing, which is why Vito hates attention, especially when he is, **** it, he looks like he is walking around in a bunch of wild cats covered in catnip , must keep dealing with those little guys one after another.

   This distance is not long, and Vito has walked it before, but now he feels that this broken corridor is several kilometers long, and it took him nearly ten minutes to walk to the end.

"Your Excellency Marshal, please give me instructions." The lieutenant of the Mortal Auxiliary Army stood at attention with the technical servants. Vito glanced at the arch of the Ultimate Hall and sighed in relief. He squeezed out a smile and nodded to the lieutenant for the last time. "Go on, Lieutenant."

   "Of order, Your Excellency! Long live the Marshal, long live the Primarch." After speaking, the lieutenant turned and walked away. Vito laughed speechlessly after hearing the last two sentences, and shook his head repeatedly with his hands on his hips.

"Damn, why did Guilliman and I start the Second Empire again, so what am I this time? Grand Protector?" Vito smiled wryly and shook his head as he walked towards the arch, "At least I hope Ryan won't mind." Bar."

Vito walked into the Hall of Limits. He walked straight from the arch on the side of the throne to the glittering golden throne. The sound of footsteps made Guilliman discover him naturally. Big Blueberry looked at the tired Vito with a playful smile. support.

   "How is it, Your Excellency Marshal, how are you doing today?" "It was fine until I put on this rag, I swear I will take it off when I go back, and stuff it into the closet to eat ten thousand years of ashes."

Speaking of Vito, he walked up the steps in front of the throne. The Supreme Marshal stood beside the Primarch and disliked the red robe. He pinned the flying war robe behind his shoulders, and the hand under the robe also held the hilt of the sword. Standing wearily beside Guilliman, the latter raised his giant iron fist with a playful laugh.

   "You should be the Supreme Marshal as soon as possible, you should always wear this clothes, it suits you very well." "Fuck you."

  Vito responded briefly, while Guilliman smiled with satisfaction, yes, Vito now looks exactly as Guilliman expected, even better.

"So why did you call me here today? It's already this time, your meeting should be over early, right? Can I go back to have lunch?" Vito said impatiently while pressing the hilt of his sword, while Guilliman laughed He folded his arms and hugged his arms, that smile was too bright, it definitely couldn't be faked.

"Go back the same way?" "No, change the way." Vito said, taking off the marshal's hat, he ruffles his hair and throws it on the throne, "By the way, take off this ragged clothes, otherwise From here to the cafeteria, I can only have dinner."

  Guilliman smiled lightly, he nodded and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, you will be able to do what you want soon, as long as you finish the last meeting with me."

After hearing this, Vito looked at Guilliman in surprise, "Who do you want to meet? I'm too bored, so I'll go first." After speaking, Vito turned around and took a few steps, while Guilliman stood calmly on the spot with his hands on his hips , he smiled in the direction of the gate.

   "I received Governor Macragge and wanted his niece. I heard that the girl is very beautiful." "You said it earlier, I won't be sleepy if you say that."

Vito came back with a smile. He picked up the military cap on the throne with a happy smile on his face. He patted himself on the shoulder with the military cap, "It's just that it's too inconvenient to take off this clothes. Talk to the pretty chick deeply Inconvenient time."

"Do you need me to inform Miss Celestine that I don't need to look for you tonight?" Guilliman put his arms around his arms with a playful smile, while Vito trembled and his back felt cold, he laughed awkwardly and shook hat.

"Ah, did I just say something? I remember that today I am here to serve the country loyally! That's right, that's it." Vito said sternly, while Guilliman suppressed a smile and nodded, "You said that Calculate."

Vito also smiled awkwardly. He saw the two people who entered the hall put on their hats. He took a deep breath to regain his composure and stood next to Guilliman. The two of them waited quietly in front of the throne two visitors.

Governor Macragge soon came to the throne, his blond hair was already covered with a layer of white silk, but the Governor was still full of energy and elegant manners, his elegant dress and movements, every gesture of his hands proved himself of noble blood, "Salute to you, Lord Guilliman, Lord Marshal."

"Of course, we also salute you, Governor Marius." Guilliman also nodded politely, and Vito stepped forward with a smile and nodded and smiled at the woman beside the governor, "Especially you, beautiful lady , nice to meet you."

  The governor looked sideways at his niece, and he raised a hand to introduce her to the two, "My lords, this is my dear niece, Gaius Emily Turasius."

  The beautiful blond young lady smiled and nodded to Vito. There was no blemish on her snow-white skin, no freckles on her flawless face, or anything that would affect that peerless beauty.

  Platinum hair was also carefully groomed, the sun shone on the golden hair, and the long coiled hair hung behind her head. Without any bun decoration, it already silently expressed her nobility.

She is wearing a simple off-the-shoulder white dress that makes people unable to move their eyes away. The slightly inward waist design reveals her perfect figure. The snow-white skirt stretches from the two long legs like a dream The side hangs down, and the pleated skirt in the center with Roman boots perfectly sets off the tight legs.

But all of this is nothing compared to the most finishing touch, her eyes, those emerald green eyes are full of life like a summer forest, the colors on the pupils flicker under the light with a trace of mysterious color, just like A lake in an isolated forest.

  Her charming smile makes people intoxicated, and she seems to be an incarnation of a heavenly world, walking in the collection of all the most beautiful existences in the world, and the beautiful little fairy bows her knees to pay tribute to Vito and Guilliman.

"Salute to you, my lords, I have been dreaming of meeting you for a long time, and today my dream has come true." Her voice was melodious like a song, and she faced Vito with the ability to fascinate people. smile.

   "Especially you, Your Excellency Marshal, I have heard many stories about you a long time ago, and I have always hoped to meet you."

Vito raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he was confused, he still maintained a polite smile. He shrugged slightly and patted his scabbard with his palm, "Not many people have heard of me, Miss Emily. , may I ask where you heard about it?"

   Indeed, although Vito is also a legendary figure, few people outside the military remember him, and Emily is obviously not a soldier, maybe her father is a senior military officer? This is not uncommon among nobles.

   But in fact the answer surprised Vito, well, it's not that unexpected, it's better to say it's a surprise.

"I have heard a lot about you from my mother. She has known you for a long time. She has known you since you were the judge Vito Constantine." Emily smiled gracefully. Vito Then his eyebrows flickered and he took a step back, his fingers rubbing up and down awkwardly on the crazy carving on the scabbard.

   Guilliman could see the reason, and the Emperor's Thirteenth Son jokingly approached Vito and whispered softly, "Your woman? Isn't this your illegitimate daughter?"

"No, it shouldn't be. Ordinary mortal women married me to give birth to offspring. Besides... I don't seem to remember her mother." Vito smiled awkwardly. He scratched his head in embarrassment and distress. He had a romantic relationship before. There were too many women, and apart from a few very impressive ones, Vito didn't remember much of the rest.

But obviously, Vito didn't want to lose face in front of such a beautiful lady, he cleared his throat and showed a bright smile, "It's an honor to meet you, Miss Emily, I think I will be as familiar with you as your mother Isn't it?"

Emily showed a happy smile, her palm was lightly pressed against the tall chest, she looked at Vito charmingly, her eyes were full of teasing, "I think so, sir, we will be very familiar of."

  Guilliman looked at Vito and frowned slightly. This guy is actually picking up girls in his palace? And so naked? By the Emperor, he doesn't intend to let this old **** continue to be arrogant.

Guilliman coughed lightly. His voice caught the attention of Mario and Emily. Both of them looked at Guilliman respectfully with slight apology. Obviously, they didn't come here to be with Vito. Small talk.

"Governor Marius, I want to know about Macragge's post-war situation, do you know?" Guilliman said seriously, it's time to bring this meeting back to normal, and the Governor naturally quite recognized it, He was probably fed up with Vito and his niece ignoring him flirting with the Primarch.

Marius cleared his throat, and he put his hands behind his back and formally faced Guilliman in front of the throne, "Everything is going smoothly, my lord, the ruins are being cleaned up in an orderly manner, and the damaged roads and bridges are being rebuilt. We must Thanks to the help of the great sage of Kaur, global communication has been restored, and we have been able to contact various provinces."

Vito pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand and shifted the weight of his whole body to his left leg. He looked at Mario with a slight sideways playful look. It seemed that Kaur's cable Cthulhu did a good job. The communication construction he gave him Pretty good.

"Sage Kaul is currently helping us rebuild as a technical consultant. He has proposed many effective methods. I believe that our glorious homeland will be able to return to its former glory soon. Macragge, Ultramar The brightest pearl of the Hundred Crowns will shine again."

Guilliman nodded in satisfaction. The Son of Vengeance opened his iron fist and gently placed it on the side of his leg. He looked at Marius and frowned slightly, "What about civilian casualties? The people of the empire are always more important than cities, factories and bridges." important."

Marius sighed sadly, he shook his head lightly, "The death of every loyal Emperor's people is an irreparable and tragic loss, all we can do is take care of the remaining people, but I believe that those of us who survived The loyal ones who come down will not disgrace the glory of you and the emperor, and in time, we will surely regain the prosperity of the past."

The resolute answer of Governor Marius was very inspiring and encouraging. Guilliman also nodded with a smile. He raised his iron fist and continued to ask with concern, "Where are the remnants of the traitors? The number of Chaos cultists is huge, I think it will cause a lot of trouble." Trouble."

"Indeed, my lord, the Chaos cultists have caused a lot of damage, but fortunately you and the marshal have destroyed the headquarters and main force of Chaos. Now those remnants are nothing more than a group of weak wolves, defending Macragge. With the concerted efforts of all the officers and men of the Ultramarines Chapter, and with the help of the noble warriors of the Ultramarines Chapter, we will soon clear those traitors who have turned their backs on the Emperor's Light."

Marius clenched his fists and said, he then took a step forward, spread his arms and nodded respectfully to the Primarch to show his submission, "My lord, the situation in Macragge is now stable, and I agree with the governors of all provinces that you should Holding the coronation ceremony will greatly boost the morale of the entire five hundred worlds, and let the praise of loyalty be sung among the stars."

Guilliman frowned, his displeasure was quickly caught by the seasoned Marius, the Governor immediately bowed his head and waited for the reprimand, but Guilliman did not scold him, and the Primarch left after a moment of silence Get off the throne.

"The reason why the people of Ultramar follow me is not just because I am the heir of the Emperor, not because I am named Roboute Guilliman, they are willing to follow me because they know that I will Giving everything for their happiness and future."

As Guilliman walked down the steps of the throne, the mountain-like Primarch stood in front of Marius. The powerful sense of coercion made the Governor unable to lift his head at all. He almost instinctively knelt down on one knee to swear his surrender and allegiance to Guilliman. .

The burly Son of Vengeance stood in front of him, and the Emperor's heir raised his iron fist and clenched his chest, "If my people are still suffering in the flames of war, I will not be crowned, as long as the loyal sons of five hundred worlds If the people are not peaceful for a day, I will never be crowned."

"I will lead the Astartes to battle in the stars, and I will slay all rebels in the name of the Emperor and the five hundred worlds. When the moment of final victory comes, when our people are safe, I will be like you The coronation that you want, when the victory of the five hundred worlds will be sung throughout the empire, our victory will inspire tens of thousands of emperors and people to rise up and fight."

"Only in this way, and only in this way, can I, Roboute Guilliman become the regent of the empire, and only in this way can the people of the empire spontaneously follow me, follow the truth, the path of justice Light."

"Please forgive my previous ignorance, my lord, I admire your lofty thoughts and qualities." Marius said sincerely, his words only meant recognition and obedience, and he spontaneously recognized and was willing to follow him , following the Son of Vengeance in front of him, not because of his name, bloodline and identity, but out of a kind of sincere recognition and trust.

Guilliman smiled and bent his knees to help the governor up. The latter took a step back in panic, while Guilliman smiled and stepped forward to put his big hand on the governor's shoulder, "No need to forgive, you didn't offend me, I understand you All things considered, I will follow your advice when the time comes, but now Governor, I need you to watch over our home, and take care of Macragge."

"My lord, I will not let you down!" Marius said firmly, while Guilliman watched his eyes loosen his iron fist, the Primarch smiled and nodded, "I have no doubt about it, but I see distress in your eyes, and I believe there is still one thing you would like help for."

"I am impressed by your power of observation. Indeed, my lord, we have something to ask for, but the person who asks is not me, but my niece." Mario said, turning his head and nodding to Emily, who was also very respectful Curtseyed to Guilliman.

  Guilliman nodded in response, and he turned to Emily, "Please tell me, beautiful Miss Emily, what difficulties do you ask for from me and the marshal?"

"My lord, my hometown and the entire five hundred worlds are being invaded by a dark force. That force makes us miserable. We are completely helpless. We can only ask for your help." Emily said devoutly, her words were full of It's ignorance and pain. Faced with such a beautiful girl's request, no one would be willing to hurt her.

   "What kind of darkness? Miss Emily." Guilliman asked kindly, trying to appease Emily's emotions, and the latter did calm down a little and looked up at the primarch in front of him.

"An unknown plague that suddenly appeared. The terrible disease spread in five hundred worlds. Those infected would cry and shed tears uncontrollably until they became blind. Please, my lord, our doctors and scholars are powerless to do anything about it. Only to seek the help of your supreme power as the Emperor's Son."

  Emily said sincerely, with tears in her eyes, "The relatives I know have lost their light one by one, please save us, only you can kill us."

Guilliman stepped forward and pressed Emily's little shoulder solemnly. He must have clenched his fists and looked into those watery eyes, "I promise you, in the name of the Emperor, I will end this plague suffering, I will bring peace to the people of the five hundred worlds."

   "Thank you, my lord." Emily said sincerely, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, the tears were heartbreaking, Guilliman turned to Vito to ask his opinion.

"Marshal, do you have any suggestions on how we should respond?" Guilliman asked formally, and Vito looked at Emily with some hesitation, and Vito always felt a bit unnatural with that sadness, but now It's not the time to think about this, whether she is sincere or not, the suffering of the five hundred worlds is real.

Vito nodded slightly and began to walk in front of the throne. After thinking for a moment, he stopped and faced the Vengeful Son, "I think it's Nurgle's revenge for defeating his followers in Macragge. I may know What to do, but I need to go and see those planets for myself."

   "I will personally lead a fleet, you are here." "No, Marshal, no."

Guilliman clenched his fists and said solemnly, he raised his head proudly, and said firmly and without hesitation, "I will not sit here and wait for the result, I have been asleep for too long, now it is time for all children The people have again witnessed my return."

   "I will go with you, and I will go with you to end this suffering. This is both my promise and my duty." Guilliman's firm words made Vito respect, and he nodded in approval.

   Guilliman looked at Emily, and he held the beautiful lady's shoulders and promised again, "I assure you, the suffering will be gone. Come on, Marshal, we must set sail as soon as possible."

After saying that, he walked towards the Golden Gate. Emily looked at the departing Guilliman, and Vito held out a hand as he passed her with a smile, "We will meet again, right? I hope The next time we meet, it will be a pleasure to get along with.”

  Emily also smiled and held Vito's hand, letting Vito kiss the back of her hand gentlemanly, "I hope so too, Marshal."

  Vito smiled, lifted his shirt and followed Guilliman. The two walked side by side to the exit of the hall. When they reached the gate, Guilliman stopped and looked at Vito thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Vito folded his arms and looked at Guilliman, who had a strange expression in front of him, who sighed and smiled awkwardly, "Please, tell me, my Queen of Glory hasn't been played by those little bastards. gone, right?"
