Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 255

  Chapter 255 Rise of the Primarch: The Disappearing Plague

Korha Star is a habitable planet in the eastern nebula arm of the Ultramar sector. Long before the dark clouds of the Golden Age enveloped the Milky Way, Korha Star has long been a prosperous and populous planet. Unfortunately, in the turmoil of the Era of Discord, Keha did not escape the fate of destruction.

Food shortages, and lack of resources led to large-scale civil wars. The once magnificent city of the golden age was destroyed. Humans and humans killed each other. In just a few centuries, the civilization of Korhal was destroyed. Unknown biological and chemical weapons caused a sudden drop in the population of the planet.

It is said that at that time, the cyan will permeate the ground of Keha, and the plains, valleys and riversides will be filled with those poisonous gases. different characteristics.

But even so, the disputes between humans have never stopped, and the retrogression of science and civilization has not stopped the war. The people of Keha continue to fight using airships, hot air balloons and all weapons that can be suspended. The dispute over meaning continued into the early days of the Great Crusade.

In the first hundred years of the Great Crusade, when the Emperor and Vito found Guilliman and entrusted the Thirteenth Legion to him, Guilliman led the Ultramarines to liberate the entire Ultramar sector. The hundred worlds have returned to the embrace of civilization, and Keha is no exception.

Guilliman brought civilization, technology and salvation. Under the order of the Primarch himself, the Mechanicum used their outstanding technological creations to eliminate most of the poisonous gas pollution on the planet itself. Only river valleys, wastelands and swamps remained. Apart from the remnants of those old times, the land of Korhal is alive again.

The city was rebuilt, civilization was shaped, technology and rationality became the mainstream, and even more fortunately, Keha later became a member of the five hundred worlds. In addition, he also got the privilege of exempting the imperial tithe from the five hundred worlds.

This made Kehal quickly freed from the era of strife, and the people of Kehal have always remembered Guilliman's kindness for thousands of years. Some people say that Guilliman's status in Kehal surpassed that of the emperor, and a large number of temples and The statue in the square is not the Emperor, but Guilliman.

This fact was severely condemned by the State Church. They Keha is heresy and heresy, but because Keha belongs to the five hundred worlds and is protected by the Ultramarines, the State Church did not dare to really do anything, even if it is judging the Church In the era, the crazy state religion also maintained the most basic rationality.

So when the plague of tears came, when pain and misery overwhelmed all, the people of Korha prayed to the halls of Macragge's glory, they sought salvation from the majestic Lord of Macragge, and now Macragge The Lord of Kurag answered them.

When the people of Keha knew that Guilliman had awakened and came to Keha, a warm atmosphere enveloped the entire planet, people from all over the planet, old, weak, rich and poor, beggars and nobles all rushed to the ground of the capital. Xinggang, here is crowded with pilgrims from all over the world.

The men and women of Keha crowded the square of Xinggang, the children sat on the shoulders of their parents and looked forward, a sea of ​​people filled the streets of the city, and the buildings on both sides of the road were full of enthusiastic people inside and outside. A simple location of a good building can command a high price.

And even so, there are enough aristocrats and rich people who are willing to squeeze their heads to grab sightseeing seats, while ordinary people are scrambling to run on the ground. Clearly see the majestic body of the Redeemer.

The hustle and bustle of the atmosphere enveloped the Starport. Under countless banners and slogans, in front of the pilgrims holding banners of faith and incense burners were the local defense forces. These were as well-equipped as the Macragge Defense Force, and their salaries Gao's soldiers faithfully performed their duties.

"Back back, I said back!" the guard officer with a laser pistol yelled loudly. He stood on the barricade and yelled loudly. On the road in front of him, soldiers lined up in several rows, and explosion-proof shields were erected in front of him. , and the laser gunners lined up behind them.

"Drive them back sergeant, I say drive them back!" The officer roared loudly, he gave orders to the sergeant in the front row, and the latter drew out his baton to beat the enthusiastic crowd back, the sturdy sergeant major Commanding the soldiers under their command to expel the crowd forward, they must ensure that these fanatical pilgrims will not rush into the star port.

Chimera armored vehicles came from behind, and a large number of defenders jumped from the roof of the armored vehicles. They took riot suppression equipment from the trucks behind them. People, under the order of the officer, the guards lined up in several teams to stand by.

They held laser guns to block the crowd, and law enforcement officers from the Ministry of Justice also cooperated with them. A cordon and barriers were erected around Xinggang Square. The laser guns kept driving the crowd back, but the crowd was still trying to move forward Move closer.

  Especially when the huge landing ship slowly drove out from above the clouds, the logo of the extreme fighters outside the huge transport ship in the atmosphere shone brightly, and the propulsion engine in the atmosphere jetted fire and slowly descended from the sky.

The crowd erupted into loud cheers, and after the star port docked with the outward connecting trestle, on the pier square where the tall obelisk of victory stood, Governor Keha Xing and planet officials had been waiting for a long time again. Under the cover of their respective guards, they rushed through the fanatical crowd and finally came here, and many people looked disheveled because of this.

They cleaned themselves up as best they could. Although the ladies may still be dissatisfied, after all, the Primarch has arrived, and they don't have time to clean themselves up. transport ship.

The connecting mechanical arm roared and engaged with the anchor point on one side of the transport ship. They locked the transport ship firmly with a bang. As a result, the battleship slowly lifted up and entered a stable position.

The governor, officials, and the people of Keha all looked at the gate that gradually lowered. The huge cabin on the belly of the transport ship opened slowly, and the thick landing deck lay flat on the ground. On the rear side of the deck, the dim light from the hull The burly giants came out one by one, which was the honor guard of the Ultramarines.

The governor watched as the red-robed warriors in the gold-winged battle helmets came down the deck. The leading warrior among them held a glorious banner with a golden eagle on the hanging banner, and the eagle held the Ultramarine battleship in its mouth. The emblem of the regiment, the emblem of the honored company, surrounds the center of the banner and surrounds the emblem of the chapter itself.

The emblem is not only the symbol of the battle group, the symbol of Macragge, but also the symbol of the stalwart lord. As the soldiers of the honor guard walked down the deck, they stood on both sides of the battleship with spears and swords in their hands. , that majestic body finally appeared in the deck's field of vision.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the blue battle armor, it was a giant taller than all space warriors, he stepped out of the battleship, when he first appeared in front of people, all, all just now The hustle and bustle of the crowd fell silent, whether it was the crowd on the square or the nobles on the tall buildings.

  The dignitaries got up from their comfortable chairs and leaned against the armrests, while on the ground, all eyes, male and female, were looking at the giant on the deck.

The giant's eyes scanned the crowd in the square, he smiled and raised his iron fist, the logo that belonged to him was shining brightly on his fist, "People of Huck, I am honored to be in this land , I am very honored to visit this land and the great people here again after 10,000 years."

Guilliman broke the deposition, he didn't need any loudspeaker equipment, the voice of the primarch itself was enough for everyone to hear, the crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers, and everyone raised their arms high and shouted into the air, "Guilliman! Guilliman! Guilliman!"

Guilliman walked down the deck amidst enthusiastic cheers, and Sicarius naturally followed behind him. The chief swordsman in a red robe and a centurion helmet followed behind the Primarch, and he followed Together with the Primarch came to the governor and the officials.

Those powerful dignitaries looked up at Guilliman, awe and fear overwhelmed them. They looked at Guilliman with eyes and looked at the statues, legends and stories. The gods stood in front of them, and all their thoughts went into a shutdown, like a malfunctioning machine servant.

Guilliman greeted them first with a smile. The primarch looked at the man in the lead. He was slightly bald and wore a pair of unilateral glasses with golden silk thread hanging from the lens. The emerald green clothes were elegant and noble, and he looked It took some time to prepare and it was expensive.

"I believe you are the governor of Keha, I am honored to meet you." Guilliman's words awakened the governor, and he immediately nodded and bowed to Guilliman, "I salute you, my lord. Governor Tursk Titus of Keha, on behalf of the people of Keha and all my colleagues, I welcome you, and we have already prepared to pledge our allegiance to you."

  Gilliman nodded to them with a smile, but the Primarch shook his head slightly, "I am not here to gain loyalty, Your Excellency, I am here to help, and I hope to win the loyalty of the people of Keha."

"You have already won our loyalty, my lord. As early as 10,000 years ago, after you rescued us from suffering, we will always be loyal to you." The governor said devoutly, his eyes full of Kudos, and so do all the officials behind him.

Guilliman smiled. He looked at the crowds around the pier square. He waved to them and won even more enthusiastic cheers. The praise came like waves, and the enthusiastic people surged forward. This can make the soldiers of the defense army very distressed.

  The officer roared and ordered the rear team to go up, and the guards armed with explosion-proof shields and batons joined the human wall. They huddled together to block the crowd, and the Chimera armored vehicle slowly moved forward to block those possible gaps.

"Times have changed, I believe that everything should be treated with courtesy, please allow me to introduce our mutual friends to you." Guilliman said and gestured behind him, the governor and the top dignitaries of Keha looked on the deck, and they saw The man who steps out in the Ultramarines Honor Guard.

He was wearing a dark trench coat of the Grand Inquisitor, with the scarlet I letter hanging from his waist, and a skull symbolizing the power of the Inquisition flashing on his chest. He was wearing a golden phoenix sword and a bolt gun. As he came, the silver iron plates on the black boots jingled.

  He smiled and walked in front of the crowd. The man smiled and put his hands behind his back, while Guilliman introduced beside him, "I believe you have heard, this is the one."

"I salute you, Supreme Marshal Vito Constantine. On behalf of all my colleagues, I welcome you and Lord Guilliman." The Governor smirked politely, and Vito also showed a more sincere smile. , he looked at the Governor with a smile, but that smile made the Governor's back shiver.

"I think you have missed two titles, can you remember?" "My lord, two titles? I think I" "You did forget two, I think you have, so please let me know." Let me remind you."

Vito took a step forward and smiled, he raised his two hands, "I am also the Supreme Master of the Inquisition Chamber, and the Supreme Assassin Master of the Assassin Court, as well as the supreme authority of the two departments, I think you understand what does that mean."

Vito's smile really scares them now. Of course, these rich and powerful people know this meaning. The man in front of him is not just an ordinary judge. The top leaders of any department can be executed, especially for these people.

Guilliman had to come out in time to smooth things over, he smiled and raised his hand to the adults, "Marshal Vito is also on the investigation mission, I request him to investigate the plague of tears, I hope you will answer his question truthfully .”

"We must have something to say, my lord, I promise." The governor said eagerly. He looked at Vito and nodded in submission. The skills of an official, now he just needs to stand here, and a smile is enough to make these powerful people tremble.

   "I would like to ask about the situation of the plague in Keha. The information we got on the way here is that the local infection situation is serious, and many people have lost their sight, but it seems to me that the situation is not that serious now."

   "This can only mean two possibilities. First, the intelligence is wrong. The local government has provided wrong and deceptive facts, deceiving me and Guilliman, or..."

Before Vito could finish his words, the Governor, whose face turned pale with fright, repeatedly shook his head and denied, "That's not true, my lord! We absolutely did not deceive you and the Primarch. In fact, the plague disappeared by itself, suddenly, and many people were blind. people have regained their eyesight!"

   "Oh? The plague is gone? When will it start?" Vito asked with a slight frown, and the governor nodded repeatedly in response, "On the day when the news of the two arrivals came, that is, two days ago, the plague suddenly disappeared."

"We believe that the light of Lord Guilliman's divine power must have purified the plague, and his divinity has dispelled the darkness. It must be so!" the governor said repeatedly, and the dignitaries behind him also echoed. Clearly suspicious, Guilliman could see that it was time to come out and play the white game.

Guilliman took a step forward with a smile. He looked at the surrounding crowd and waved his hand, then turned to the governor, "I believe that everything will be answered. Please lead the way now. I am looking forward to formally meeting with more department leaders. meeting."

   "Yes, yes, my lord, this way please, they are already waiting for you at the Governor's Mansion." The Governor said and gestured to the red carpet behind him, which stretched all the way to the end of the avenue. Who knows how long it is, how many kilometers?

Guilliman nodded and walked onto the red carpet. Vito followed after glancing at the governor coldly. Reus stepped forward, and the Second Company Commander stood tall in front of them, and glanced forward to signal them to follow.

  The local rulers followed cautiously behind the primarch and Vito, while Sicarius led the honor guard behind them, and on both sides of Guilliman and Vito.

The Ultramarines held spears to isolate the Primarch from the enthusiastic crowd around them. The people of Keha cheered enthusiastically around them. They sprinkled flowers and gorgeous silks and satins towards Guilliman, and the buildings were full of people holding flowers. Ladies, countless petals fell from the sky and sprinkled the red avenue.

The crowd tried their best to get close to Guilliman, while on both sides of the red carpet, the fighters of the Korha Defense Force blocked them with all their strength. Soldiers holding explosion-proof shields and long sticks kept driving them to keep a safe distance, which was to prevent the assassins from attacking. Assassination, of course, in the presence of Vito, who may be the best at assassination work in this universe, it may still be quite difficult to carry out an assassination.

  Vito knew there was no danger here, and something was terribly wrong, and Guilliman could see it, and he walked with Vito and whispered while making sure no one around could hear them.

"You noticed something was wrong, didn't you? That nonsense about divinity is too outrageous. I'm not a god, let alone a divinity." Guilliman's voice was just drowned out by the cheers of the surrounding crowd, and only Vito could hear the whisper .

"Indeed, someone did it on purpose. The plague will disappear when you and I are about to arrive. It is impossible to be like those idiots said." Vito said, scanning his eyes left and right, he looked at the surrounding picture face, but obviously no one caught his attention.

   This is normal. If those who planned all this were still in Korha, how stupid they would dare to appear in front of Guilliman and themselves even though they knew they were followers of Nurgle.

"This shows that someone is going to fight us again, and it's not the work of those simple-minded fat nerds who are Nurgle believers." Vito said in a low voice, and concluded based on his years of dealing with Chaos, yes , yes, of course he knows that there are smart people among Nurgle disciples, such as Typhus, but Vito can also be sure that they will not be here.

The reason is simple, if Typhons and the others were here, they would not use such low-lethal plagues as tears and cries. Typhons and other high-ranking Nurgle daemons were keen on more lethal plagues, such as the plague of decay, Nargle Dirty zombie plague, and **** plague, etc., but this plague, in terms of absolute effect, is too trivial to handle.

  Guilliman nodded affirmatively, smirked and waved to the surrounding crowd frequently, "Then what are you going to do? I guess the local bureaucrats can't answer the question."

   "I know, you simply perfunctory them afterwards, and then left with the excuse of the plague on other planets. I will stay quietly and see if the plague will strike again after you leave. I will find out the truth."

"This is a good plan. I will leave as soon as possible. You should inform your people as well. If you still need help, please contact me." Guilliman waved his hand while whispering, Vito nodded and raised himself naturally wrist, he opened the communicator on it.

As the ticking sound communication channel opened, Vito moved the microphone part closer to him, "Bell, tell the other brothers to leave the Macragge Glory and find an unremarkable destroyer at random. When the fleet leaves, you stay. Wait for my signal."

   "Understood, Marshal." Bell's voice sounded short, Vito took a deep breath and put down the communicator on his wrist, his eyes scanned the surrounding buildings.

  And on a gorgeous building he didn't notice, in the shadows beside the noble's VIP table, a figure of perfect figure appeared there, purple eyes shining in the darkness.

  She smiled melodiously, leaning her fingers slightly on her lips, "Let's start the game, Father."

   Dear adults, it's a new month, please ask for a monthly pass, please recommend, please promote! !
