Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 295

  Chapter 295 Primarch Rise: Skyblade Fortress

Judgment Day-class battle fortress - Skyblade, this big guy was born during the human-eldar war, it is definitely the largest space vehicle ever built by mankind, yes, there is no one, this deep space fortress The volume is even larger than the Shanzhen, because it was designed to be a mobile star port.

It's too polite to call it a star port. It should be called a battle satellite. Compared with it, the Shanzhen number of later generations and the battle moon during the Beast War period are two completely fabricated toys made of broken copper and iron. Well, the orc one might really be made of scrap metal.

But the Skyblade, its firepower has almost surpassed the limit of almost all man-made aircraft in the history of the entire galaxy. Perhaps only the battle world fortress of the Necromancer can fight with it for two rounds. Will explode into shards flying across the galaxy,

When the Federation designed it, it was originally planned to use this big guy as the core force of the human fleet, with sky blade fortresses as huge as planets, accompanied by a whole war fleet through teleportation technology, directly rushing to kill the Eldar over long distances The core of the empire completely destroyed the home star world and the virgin world of the spirit race.

   This fleet does not need to anchor and replenish, because the Skyblade Fortress itself can maintain everything they need, whether it is people or weapons and equipment.

Its huge physique is enough for the entire fleet, those tens of kilometers long giant ships to dock in the surrounding docks and docks, maintain and replenish, and can provide a mobile base for the entire fleet to rest, moor and station. ,

In addition, it can also carry hundreds of thousands or even millions of operators, naval sailors, marines, and logistics and command personnel. It is a mobile city floating in the universe, not only As a fortress, it is also the real home of its members.

Inside the armor layer of the huge fortress, there are modularized areas one by one, including living areas, entertainment areas, military training, command, production and industrial farms. Needed before any contact with the outside world.

Under its hard armor layer equipped with an excellent self-adaptive energy shield, there is an intelligent production system for automated production. The Federation has implanted a considerable number of STC standard templates for weapons and equipment into its system, which makes the angels Blade Fortress can self-produce almost all weapons and equipment that humans have, even if they don't have raw materials, they can also produce them immediately after the technical research is established.

The Sky Blade is equipped with almost all the weapons and equipment you can think of in the golden age of mankind, and even those star-destroying weapons that can destroy the entire planet in one shot. The fully automated weapon array and intelligent control system can make these equipped with the entire The weapons of the Planetary Volume Fortress unleash all their destructive firepower efficiently, accurately and thoroughly.

And its operating system is completely implanted with the core system of excellent artificial intelligence, which makes this planet-sized fortress actually able to carry out complete operations without anyone, from teleportation, to attack, and everything The daily operation, maintenance and production can be fully automated.

In the original plan of mankind, Sky Blade was the core of the galaxy-level demolition team. This battle fortress would transmit the entire fortress into the battlefield through its giant teleportation engine, and rely on its powerful firepower to completely destroy the Eldar fleet and After the planetary orbit weapon, it will use its star-killing weapon to completely blow up the home world of the spirit race into fragments, and carry out the doomsday judgment on the spirit race, so it is also named the judgment day class.

The Federation originally planned to use the Sky Blade to annihilate, destroy and disintegrate the war potential of the Eldar Race, but it is not so easy to penetrate the weapon defense line of the Spirit Race Empire at its peak, so the exaggerated weapons and equipment of the Sky Blade, as well as the shield The cost of system production and manufacturing is almost astronomical, and the time to build this planet-level fortress has far exceeded expectations.

Moreover, the establishment time of its project itself was still at the end of the war. Therefore, during the entire Human-Elder War, Skyblade Fortress did not participate in any war. When the superreactor core actually ignited after the building process was over, the Iron Rain War was over, and the long war between humans and the Eldar finally came to an end.

This huge, astronomically resource-intensive fortress was born out of time, and soon because of the end of the war, the parliament cut off the production plan to manufacture the follow-up Skyblade Fortress, so this fortress became the only one in the entire series. A finished product, an orphan, an orphan destined to be forgotten.

But in the end history proves that it will not be forgotten. Human history is often ironic. The powerful weapons created by human beings are often not aimed at their own enemies in the end, or when those who were supposed to rely on these weapons to eliminate Once the enemy is eliminated, humanity will once again go on the cycle of history, turning these terrible weapons on each other.

During the Outer Ring Rebellion, the federal army, which was severely injured in the Human-Elder War, put this powerful war fortress into the war to suppress the Outer Ring Rebellion. Many key planets and nodes have been laid.

And its intelligent part has also been strengthened and used more. With the sharp decrease in the population of the entire Federation after the war, the army has equipped more intelligent systems and combat robots with the Sky Blade. This fully automated The Slaughter Fortress finally reached its pinnacle.

The federal army originally planned to use the Skyblade Fortress to act as a fully automated, low-cost deterrent and mobile suppression firepower platform in the outer ring after the rebels in the outer ring were eliminated, and to deter the entire outer ring with terrifying power. The rebels.

But the irony is that when humans strengthened, polished and tempered it into an incomparable weapon of war, the iron man rebellion broke out. With the wave of rebellion set off by Red Helen, a large number of intelligent iron men were created by humans. Smart weapons designed to kill each other turn their guns on their masters.

In fact, the iron man rebellion did not violate the purpose of these robots and intelligences being produced, because they were originally produced as a product of the civil war between humans, and the purpose of their appearance was to obey a group of humans, to Just massacre another herd, as with all human weapons.

And the irony is that the Iron Man side of the Iron Man rebellion is not actually composed entirely of intelligent Iron Men, but those alien aliens who once attached to humans and served humans as a servant race for a long time also joined in. In the camp of Iron Man.

  Most of them are dissatisfied alien members who have been oppressed in the Human Federation for a long time, like the ordinary people in the outer ring area, and live as second-class citizens. They have long been dissatisfied with the Federation.

Before the Iron Man Rebellion, as humans were severely injured in the war with the Eldar, they launched their own riots and uprisings, trying to split from the Federation, and each time they were suppressed by the Federation Army. To be precise, it was Use iron men to help suppress it.

  So when the Iron Man Rebellion started, Red Helen invited these dissidents who were dissatisfied with the Federation to join her rebel army, and she promised them that after the war, they would win their independent status.

So they naturally accepted it, although they may not have thought too much about it, is this a lie, or in other words, they have no choice at all, if the Iron Man War is over, human beings will only squeeze themselves more cruelly, To replace the manpower position in the Ironman vacancy.

As a result, more than a dozen human servant races turned into rebels overnight, and later there were some servant races that were ruthlessly abandoned to humans after the Eldar Empire shrank back to the mainland, in order to avoid human revenge after the war And Carnage, also chose to join the rebellion.

  They had no choice. During the war, they committed too many crimes for the Eldar, so that they were **** and bloody, and they were completely unable to negotiate with humans. In order to survive, they could only choose to join the Iron Man Rebels.

  So the Iron Man Rebellion is not a simple, ruthless robot war against humans in the Terminator movies, but a racial war between galaxies, a war of survival, and a war against oppression, call it whatever you want.

So when the Iron Man Rebellion began, the iron people in the hands of the Federation and the Outer Ring rebels "united" and aimed their weapons at each other's masters. Ironically, with the start of the Iron Man Rebellion, the originally divided Instead, humans suddenly reached a consensus, forming alliances and cooperating with each other.

  The Federation Army and the Outer Ring Rebels reached a peace treaty almost instantly, and the divided human beings united again under the common threat to form a united front against Iron Man and the rebel army. Isn't it ironic? Iron Man's rebellion, since the ultimate result is to promote the great unification of human society, at least temporarily.

Under the crisis of life and death, human beings are once again facing the crisis situation of the Eldar war, all the contradictions have been put on hold, all the old and new enmities between the planets and political groups have been thrown away, and human beings have once again operated efficiently Rise up and fight against the weapons that are their own.

And the Heavenly Blade Fortress became the core of the military strength of those rebellious iron people. The red Helen stole and seized this fully intelligent fortress, and used it as her own car and mobile body. She drove this fortress to attack everywhere. , pouring the destructive firepower originally designed by humans to deal with the Eldar race on humans themselves.

Red Helen used the Skyblade Fortress to severely injure and destroy the main force of the Federation's navy all the way, and attacked the Federation's core solar system all the way. A large number of human colonies and planets along the way were destroyed by the Skyblade Star Destroyer weapon. Those attacks again and again caused countless deaths. Casualties in the tens of billions.

But, in fact, most of the casualties during the Iron Man Rebellion were not caused by the Iron Man. After all, the Red Helen and the Iron Man did not have the emotion of hatred and bloodthirsty for this flesh-and-blood race. The machines created by intelligence and programs, they only pursue efficiency, the efficiency of winning, so they will not kill innocent people meaninglessly, not because they have found out their conscience, but because doing so is purely a waste of time and firepower resources, Also pointless.

The vast majority of casualties in the Iron Man Rebellion were caused by the alien aliens of the rebel side in the war. They applied their suppressed anger for many years to the human civilians. Then massacres broke out, causing hundreds of billions, or even trillions of casualties.

This also directly led to the extermination policy of the emperor's alien aliens. During the Great Crusade, those alien races were ruthlessly eliminated, and the alien race was aimed at human civilians during the Iron Man Rebellion. Although in a sense, the emperor finally achieved The effect is similar to what they did back then.

In short, Red Helen drove the Skyblade, controlled and commanded the huge Ironman fleet all the way to the solar system, and the combined human fleet tried to stop and intercept her several times, but it was useless. Humans did win a few victories, but they still could not change the situation of the battle. overall failure.

In a sense, it was also because after the Iron Man Rebellion began, the Federal Parliament directly dismissed and dismissed all the existing Iron Men in the Federation Army out of fear of the Iron Man. The same is true, including the real Helen.

When they are removed from authority, sealed up and controlled, the human army, which has already been severely weakened, cannot stop the Iron Man army. Therefore, Red Helen killed the solar system, and the federal parliament on the entire earth was in chaos. Members quarreled with each other and would fail. The guilt of each other is shirked, purposeless disputes are staged on the earth all day long, and chaos, turmoil and madness are staged outside the high walls of the parliament at the same time.

The almost paralyzed parliamentary government is simply unable to maintain, or in other words, they do not want to maintain this planet that is about to face doomsday. Residents of the earth, represented by reason and truth, began to rob each other, zero-yuan purchases, shootings and chaos, etc., just like the real doomsday.

  At this critical moment, the Grand Marshal of the Human Federation, Vito Constantine proposed to the Parliament to restart Helen, let her and himself command the existing Federation Fleet, bring all the loyal iron men and Red Helen to a decisive battle in the solar system.

Very classically, Vito was labeled a traitor by the panic-stricken and paranoid federal government that was already in chaos. They shifted the responsibility for the previous defeat to Vito, even though he was actually at an absolute disadvantage with the help of Helen and Iron Man. Even under such circumstances, it still achieved the only battle of Proxima Centauri that humans have won since the Iron Man War began.

  But they still shifted all responsibility to Vito, and even angrily accused Vito of preparing to rebel. Red Helen is Helen's split personality, maybe it was directed and acted by Vito? Used for power seizures and military coups.

  The previous rumors seemed to be true. The federal government lifted Vito's military power and put him under house arrest. Helen was also confiscated and prepared to be destroyed. Isn't it stupid? Yes, there were many people who felt the same way as you at the time, such as the generals under Vito.

After repeated and extremely stupid behaviors by the Federal Parliament, the generals and officers under Vito could no longer bear it. They would no longer listen to the idiots of the Parliament and let their soldiers fight a battle that would undoubtedly defeat them. Therefore, they collectively chose mutiny, turning the fact that the idiots in the parliament were worried about into the truth.

At that time, Terra was still called Earth. The navy in Earth orbit and the Marine Corps stationed on the star port launched a mutiny. A large number of troops seized and controlled the seat of the parliament. At that time, it was also known as the control of the giant city of New York. He was rescued and elected Vito as the chairman of the "National Salvation Committee".

Vito didn't intend to become the leader of the military government at the time, nor did he plan a military coup, but, after all, it was still on the verge of ending everyone, so Vito chose to accept the appointment, and he led the marines directly into the He found the intelligence center that was about to destroy Helen, and rescued Helen from it.

Then came the final decisive battle. Vito led the last main naval force of the Federation, and with the help of Helen, he took all the iron men who were loyal to mankind, and some alien warriors who also fought for the Federation, such as Stone People or something, Vito led them to use himself and Helen as bait in a mighty way, attracting Red Helen to fight him, and that place is Jupiter.

It was definitely one of the most difficult battles that Vito had ever fought, but in the end, after a tragic battle that was not inferior to the Battle of the Iron Man, Red Helen's main force of the Iron Man rebel army was destroyed, and she herself was also killed. Vito took Helen to jump up to help. After sacrificing a large number of marines and loyal iron men, Vito implanted the real Helen into her system. In the end, the two Helens had a final battle, and the real Helen won. Victory, Red Helen was completely smashed into data fragments.

With the demise of the Red Helen, the Iron Man army also fell into chaos. In the end, humans struggled to win the battle, while the Skyblade Fortress was finally paralyzed due to the continuous firepower launched by the Federation Navy after the disappearance of the Red Helen. Into the atmosphere of Europa, sank into the eternal deep ocean.

The fortress fell into the deep sea as the witness of the beginning of the entire Iron Man Rebellion, and the witness of the final end. Vito did not salvage it at that time. In the war of Iron Man's Alien Allies, the second reason is that Vito didn't know, he didn't know if there were any dangerous things in that fortress, and whether the red Helen fell to the ground and was completely destroyed.

  For safety reasons, he chose to sink the Skyblade in the sea of ​​ice on Europa, as a permanent monument of that tragic war, warning mankind and their descendants not to make the same mistakes again.

  However, judging from the results, the federation ended up in the hands of human beings. Believe me, the iron man rebellion is definitely not the source of the real destruction of the federation. A powerful empire will never collapse from the outside, but from the inside.

   And this is another story.

And now, Vito finally came here, in this cursed fortress, in order to save the earth again, or, save Terra, use this fortress that almost destroyed the earth, to save the earth, ha, history Sometimes I really like to tease people.

  Vito thought about ending his memories. After he sighed, he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the closed round door in front of him.

  He looked at the thing, then turned his head to look at Helen who was holding it and nodded, "Open it."

Helen stood on Vito's hand. She was silent for a moment and then waved lightly to the control panel beside her. As her palm made of light filaments waved across the panel, the round door quickly opened to both sides. .

Vito stood in front of the door and looked at the darkness. As the door was completely hidden from the opening, lights lit up in the dark corridor one after another. Bright light came from a distance all the way. Vito saw As the lights came on one after another, everything was illuminated, this corridor he remembered, the corridor leading to the conning tower of the fortress.

Vito looked at everything in this corridor, there are still traces of that time, the walls are full of bullet holes, the cutting marks left by the ion weapon shooting through the wall are still clearly visible, and the steel fragments are scattered all over the floor. The long-damaged laser-cut sword fell to the ground, along with the other weapon.

Gunshots sounded in his ears, shouts and the voice of electronic flesh and blood shouted at each other, the voice became stronger and stronger, hallucinations began to appear in the corridor, Vito seemed to be able to see fighters fighting one by one, wearing Thor Power Armor , the soldiers fighting with the iron man, the guns fired, the laser swords collided and roared in the corridor battle, and the whistling bullets seemed to shoot directly from Vitor's ears, making him tinnitus.

  Vito looked at the illusory mirror image in the corridor, all of which almost swallowed Vito's thoughts, he closed his eyes, frowned with the chaotic noise, and turned his head to one side.

"Sir?" Helen asked softly. Vito opened his eyes suddenly, and the gunshots and hallucinations suddenly disappeared. Vito looked at Helen, and he could see that Helen was also in deep thought of past memories. She must have Better remembered than Vito, and more tormented.

  Vito sighed for a long time, then turned his eyes to the end of the corridor, "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect that I would come back here and save the earth once."

"Come on, honey, let's get this big guy out of the water." Vito walked into the corridor. He walked along the corridor full of bullet holes and the remains of weapon attacks, and walked towards the He is also going from here to the place, the bridge of the Skyblade during the final battle.
