Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 313

  Chapter 313 Rise of the Primarch: Walls of the Palace

Vito walked on the streets of the palace. This palace is very huge, just as huge and complex as I remembered. There are countless streets and alleys and densely packed palaces and buildings here. To enter here, you'd better bring On a guide, trust me, a map is useless.

The numerous criss-crossing air platforms, long bridges and roads in the imperial palace constitute an extremely complex structure, just like a giant web woven by giant spiders, even the sunlight will be blocked by those tall buildings and magnificent palaces, here , Most of the time the light you can see is artificial light, those blurred lights make every street and every palace here look the same.

The palace is too big, it is just like Terra itself, this planet is the most complicated hive planet ever built by human beings, and the palace of Terra is the leader and representative of it, its history is far more than Any urban area that exists today on this planet is older.

After Horus's rebellion, most of Terra's urban areas were demolished and rebuilt, so now the times have changed, things have changed, and Vito hardly knows Terra. The planet has completely changed from his memory.

But here is the only exception, the Royal Palace, it has never changed for thousands of years, Vito still remembers everything here, the buildings, palaces and every dark street and wall, those towering statues and magnificent reliefs are still nothing Change.

Different from the hive cities of Terra outside, everything in the palace has kept its ancient appearance. Believe me, no one dares to say anything about tearing down the palace and transforming it into a more modern and usable look. You just have to say , then the state religion will put a stick on your head when you finish this stupid talk, and just turn your head, and then yell at heretics, and heretics will tie you to the stake and burn you to death.

  However, this also brings benefits. The unchanged palace is just like when Vito came here. He can't remember when he came last time, a thousand years? Or two thousand years ago? His memory has changed and blurred a lot, but he is still familiar with this place. He understands that every outstanding commander, no matter how long it has been in the past, will remember the defensive structure style designed by himself.

Everything here was designed by Vito and Donne. He was recalled to Terra from the front line of the Great Crusade by the Emperor. He asked Vito to use his military talents and war skills to assist Donne in the defense of the palace. Improve and build.

At that time, Vito didn't know what the Emperor wanted to do. He thought that even if the old fool had a whim, he would just let him come back and fiddle around, so Vito and Donn built the entire defensive structure of the palace together. The floating streets and long bridges are all designed for street fighting.

The extremely complex city structure will make any enemy who breaks into it without understanding it pay a heavy price. There are a large number of firepower points densely packed in countless winding streets and alleys. The city gate blocked the way of attack, and the condescending platform allowed the defender to completely cover every street, and the attacker could only be slaughtered.

This effective defense facility played a huge role during Horus's attack on Terra. It was by relying on these complex defense structures that the few loyal parties could always stand firm in the rebel attack. Every step forward requires a painful price.

Even those berserk World Eaters and Iron Warriors masters of war are completely useless in these complex and well-defended streets of the palace. The war has become pure **** street fighting, and all equipment advantages are gone. , the two sides are fighting in the most primitive way.

So the high lords are very smart. They remember how the fortification and high walls of the palace saved Terra and the people in the palace last time, so they piled up food here and hid in the high walls and defense lines of the palace. Inside, it is hidden under the efficient void shield that can cover the entire huge palace area and withstand the persistent bombing of a huge fleet.

But now, it seems that this place no longer meets the perfect defense requirements. Vito walked on the dark streets here very satisfied. He looked around. The guards here have all left. Those bunkers, shooting points and a door The opened city gate was empty, leaving only a handful of guards.

Most of them did not come to stop Vito, many of them just glanced at him, and then acquiesced in allowing him to pass. Everyone knew that the situation in Terra was tense now, so no one wanted to take the initiative to make trouble for themselves, but, always Some people exist outside of these normal people, such as the guard site at the city gate.

  Vito walked through the dark streets covered by the huge palace. He walked through the avenue at the bottom of the palace and walked towards a huge gate under the magnificent city wall. As long as he passed through here, he could go to the inner court guarded by the imperial guards.

But when he was walking towards that place, a second lieutenant officer with a gun straddled came out, blocking the front of the gate and also blocking Vito's way. The second lieutenant, with the gun on his chest, raised his hand to signal Vito to stop. Down.

   "Stop!" He pointed at Vito and shouted, and the subordinates around him also subconsciously raised their guns. They stood behind the sandbags and the bulletproof shield wall and watched Vito approaching.

"My lord! Do you know where you came from?" The second lieutenant held his head high and looked at Vito proudly like a military cadet who just graduated. His voice was loud and he was dressed neatly, meeting every requirement. Military grooming standards, so yes, Vito guessed he was indeed a recent graduate.

  He smiled at the radiant young man in front of him, and pointed to the door behind him, "I'm going to the palace, please let me know."

Before Vito finished speaking, in fact, the second lieutenant came up as soon as he said a few words, pressed Vito's chest, and stopped him, "Without the permission of the lord council, no one is allowed to Do you have permission to enter the palace?"

"No, but I have this." Vito said as he took out the pendant of the Inquisition Court from his arms, and the red i letter dangled in front of the second lieutenant, but the latter didn't seem to respond at all, but the subordinates behind him frightened After a jump, they almost made a unified move for all normal imperial people to see the logo of the trial court.

But obviously, the second lieutenant does not belong to the category of "normal people". He still raised his head proudly, looking at Vito's arrogance and arrogance through his nostrils. To be honest, that is not a wise move, especially for the judge. Word.

   "Am I not clear enough, Lieutenant?"

"No, no, sir, I told you that only the passing order signed by the high lord council can be passed, and the rest will not be allowed." The second lieutenant raised his head again as he spoke. He is now He looked at Vito with his chin, facing the disrespectful and very aggressive behavior, Vito looked at him with a smile.

   "What's your name? Second Lieutenant."

"Malfoy von Burke, from the ancient and widely respected Burke family, a prominent family with a long history and history in Terra!" Malfoy said loudly, patting his chest proudly, his voice was deafening, as if he was afraid of Vito Can't hear it.

Vito touched the pendant in his hand and smiled, "The Burke family, I've heard about you. Your family comes from a bureaucratic family that has served the Ministry of Government Affairs for generations, because in another political struggle, you stood in the right position. , stood on which side of the winner, assisted the high lord of the Ministry of Government Affairs at that time to win the struggle, and was promoted and appreciated."

"It seems that you know my family history very well, sir, then you should also know that the loyalty of the Burke family is unshakable!" Malfoy raised his fingers proudly and raised his head even higher point, with the nostrils and chin facing Vito at the same time, the latter laughed and touched the pendant in front of him with his fingers.

   "Indeed, but sometimes, being too smart is not a good habit, so let me teach you some basic common sense for your family."

"what?"

Malfoy asked in surprise, but before he finished his sentence, Vito punched him in the jaw. He stepped back and watched Vito rushing up, subconsciously raised the gun hanging under his arm, but he As soon as he raised the barrel, the body of the gun was neatly cut off by Vito's sword.

The front half of the laser gun fell to the ground in an instant, and Malfoy was also swept by Vito onto the bulletproof shield that was knocked aside. The young Malfoy hit the shield and took a painful breath, but he Just as he was about to get up, Vito grabbed him and pushed him back onto the shield.

Vito put the phoenix sword across his neck, and instantly pulled out the bolt gun with the other hand, pointing at the soldier who raised the gun subconsciously, "If you don't want to die, just stand still, I will teach you some basic philosophy of life, sir. .”

  Vito said coldly, he didn't even bother to look at those soldiers, because he knew they would obey. These soldiers didn't come from any noble or powerful family, and they didn't want to provoke the court.

The soldiers with guns raised their hands and let go of their weapons to show that they were not hostile, and then backed away, as if to make room for the judge. Vito nodded in satisfaction and grabbed Malfoy's shirt. The leader looked at him, and he put the knife on the neck of the young second lieutenant, who looked at Vito in bewilderment.

"Teach you the first thing. The court never needs to consult the opinions of the high lords. We can do whatever we want, even kill you. The only thing that needs to be consulted is that you want to be bombed." To be shot, or to be killed by an automatic cannon."

   Vito said and put the muzzle of the bolt gun on the side of the second lieutenant's head, and the latter looked at Vito in horror, looking at the bolt gun nailed to his forehead.

   "Secondly, don't look at people with your nostrils when you talk, especially if you're standing in front of an Inquisitor, because if he gets upset, you're dead, get it, Lieutenant."

  Vito asked, grabbing his collar, the young lieutenant below nodded repeatedly, and responded to Vito with a hoarse voice, "Understood, Your Honor."

"Very good, get out now." Vito said, grabbing the second lieutenant, and then pushed it to a soldier. The second lieutenant bumped into the heavily armed soldier, and he rubbed his body armor With a frown, he turned his head to look at Vito who had already entered the city gate.

None of the soldiers dared to stop him, everyone retreated to the sides to make way for him, Vito walked over, the soldiers beside the second lieutenant looked at Vito and then at the annoyed second lieutenant, "Sir? Are you okay?" .”

   "Shut up, I'm fine, **** it, forget about him, anyway, the imperial guards will clean him up, those golden armored guards won't let an insignificant idiot in."

Obviously the second lieutenant didn't know what he was talking about, he didn't know anything about Vito's identity, he didn't even ask him what his name was from the beginning to the end, and the latter knew his first and last name. The minion families around the high lords need to be cleaned up, why not add another name to the list?

Thinking about this question, Vito also walked into the inner court. He walked along the gardens and streets here, where all the complex buildings disappeared, and what was displayed was a piece of vibrant green garden.

This place is out of place and precious in the steel hive city of Terra, surrounded by well-trimmed and cared-for plants, decorating life and nature here, a long road extends from the garden, extends To the front of the magnificent golden gate.

Vito walked on the road, he walked through the beautiful trees and flowers on both sides, he walked on the boulevard full of plane trees and came to the front of the giant gate, where stood two Tall Custodian warrior.

The soldiers in golden armor looked at the people in front of them. They stood silently on both sides of the gate holding their weapons. Vito walked in front of them from under the shade of the trees. They nodded, "I want to go into the palace, my name is"

   "Vito Constantine, Supreme Marshal and the real Regent of the Empire."

Before Vito finished speaking, his voice was interrupted by the sound of the huge door rumbling open, and there was a sound from it. Vito looked at the magnificent golden giant door that opened to both sides, and opened it from the center. A golden giant stepped out of the gap.

On both sides of the gate, the soldiers of the forbidden army retreated to both sides with their weapons in hand, making way for the tall giant who walked out of the gate. He was wearing a golden battle armor, with a snow-white lion's fur draped over his right shoulder, and walked out of the gate. , the golden imperial guard walked up to Vito, towering in front of him like a mountain, and several imperial guards in gorgeous dresses and red war robes walked out behind him.

  Vito looked up at the warrior in front of him, he was slightly surprised, but soon smiled again, "Trajan?"

"Yes, Marshal, it's me. It's an honor to meet you here, my lord." Trajan, the current commander of the Emperor's Guards, nodded to Vitor, who looked at him in surprise, then looked at him again. Looking at the two sides, he was not surprised. In fact, he might have known about his arrival for a long time.

"You know I'm coming here, right? You all know." Vito raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Trajan in front of him and asked. The latter smiled slightly, but still maintained sufficient solemnity .

"The Emperor has known of your coming, he knew it when you arrived on Terra, he has been waiting for your visit, and now you are here, Marshal, so he notified us and ordered me to come here myself Welcome."

"Huo Huo, the specifications are really high. The commander of the imperial army and your guards welcome me alone. It's fine." Vito folded his arms in his arms, and looked at Trajan jokingly, and the imperial army wearing gorgeous armor behind him Veterans, they hold power weapons with flashing stand lightning, each of them is a strong fighter who can stop a hundred with one, but they greet themselves again.

   Trajan smiled slightly and raised his head. He held down the lion-headed saber he was about to mount and looked at Vito in front of him, "That's natural. Only in this way can we welcome the return of the Supreme Marshal."

Speaking of Trajan, he turned sideways to get out of the way, and the soldiers of the imperial army behind him also neatly moved to the sides, standing on both sides of the road opened for Vito as if they were holding lightning halberds into the high wall, stepping neatly The sound echoed inside and outside the gate, Vito looked at them, and then looked at Trajan on the side.

  The latter nodded slightly to Vito, "Come on, Marshal, he has been looking forward to meeting you again for a long time, we shouldn't let him wait any longer."

Vito looked at Trajan and sighed softly, and then walked into the gate from between the forbidden troops, Trajan then walked through between the forbidden troops on both sides and entered the gate, and the guards also all Turning on the spot, he followed Trajan and the Marshal into the inner court of the palace, carrying weapons.

  The golden door closed slowly behind them. This was a meeting of old friends, a reunion after ten thousand years.
