Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 321

  Chapter 321 Rise of the Primarch: The End of the High Lords Council

The high lords looked at the tall giant in front of them. He was wearing a golden power armor standing in front of the lords. The golden giant stared at them as if his eyes were shining under the halo. Behind him stood dozens of A golden-armored imperial guard, those guards who were closer to demigods than the Astartes stood behind him, silently declaring the authority of the person in front of him.

Vito looked at the high lords in front of him one by one. He was surrounded by demigods and stars around him like a temporary **** king. The high lords looked at the giant in horror. The majesty of the supreme power owner of the empire was almost instantly swallowed by the man in front of him. He was like a vortex, sucking all the authority into it.

"Kneel down. Standing in front of you is Lord Vito Constantine, Supreme Marshal of the Empire. You must kneel before him." Trajan, dressed in white lion fur, took a step forward from Vito's side. The voice of thunder announced, and the voice of majesty penetrated into the hearts of these people like shells, and all the high lords knelt down.

The leader of the High Lords Council, Minister Humphrey of the Ministry of Government Affairs, knelt down in front of Vito. He knelt down almost instinctively. Kneeling and saluting, but now, the man above it descended, appearing before them with unquestionable majesty.

  The high lords in the entire parliament knelt in front of Vito, and they knelt behind Minister Humphrey. The minister, whose body was almost completely mechanized, raised half of his face and looked at the legendary Supreme Marshal himself.

   "In the name of the Emperor, we sincerely welcome your return. My lord, the Terra High Lords Council will serve you, but there are rebels attacking the Council outside. For your safety, I suggest."

"No, you don't need to worry about my safety, Lord Humphrey, because I am the leader of the rebels you mentioned." Vito said in a low voice like thunder flashing in the dark clouds on a rainy night, Han Frye watched Vito's eyes widen in front of him, and he and the lords behind him were quite shocked.

"But my lord, why do you use the name of the emperor?" "How dare you use the name of the emperor? Lord Humphrey, why do you have the face to continue to speak of the name of the emperor? Don't your existence make him blind?" Shame?"

Vito stood in front of the lords, and he looked down at the lords who were kneeling on the ground. Humphrey looked up at Vito's face in the light, and he stared at him like the Emperor himself, with shimmering eyes As if they could penetrate their souls.

   "I don't understand your words, my lord, we have always served His Majesty the Emperor wholeheartedly, and we rule the Empire in his name, defending his truth and"

"You know what I'm talking about, Lord Humphrey, you're either old enough to forget what you've done, or you're trying to deceive me." Vito said in a low voice, but the voice was more than any admonishment to the high leader. The masters were terrified, and Humphrey watched Vito's eyes grow as huge as electric lights.

   "My lord, everything we do is for the Emperor! It's all for the Golden Throne!"

"You are just for your own desire for power, look at yourself, look at you, look at your own body, have you used life extension technology and expensive equipment to prolong your exhausted life for thousands of years? Just to let If you can hold the power of the empire for even one day longer, how many meaningless resources have you consumed, and how many outstanding people of the emperor have died here?"

"Our lives belong to the Emperor! Me! I am his chosen one! I must live to be saved! I am the Voice of the Emperor, and I speak the Emperor, and he let me live! He is Told me so!"

  The pope, who seemed to be going crazy, howled suddenly. He stood up and shook his red sleeve robe, but Vito just gave him a cold look, "Quiet."

Vito's words seemed to directly blast into the pope's mind. The aging pope stepped back again and again, waving his robe indiscriminately and yelling frantically, "I am the leader of his sect! I am his voter. Everything you do is the Emperor's will, His Majesty's will!"

"You are already crazy, Pope, what you heard and shouted is crazy nonsense, you and your church were never established by the Emperor, your existence itself is the biggest insult to the Emperor, The greatest slander of imperial truth."

   "Lie! I am his Pope! My sect was created by the Emperor! He gave me power! You are a heretic! You are a heretic in disguise, you are all heretics!"

  The completely crazy Pope pointed at Vito and yelled, his withered fingers shook and pointed at Trajan and Angvar, "You are all heretics! Custodian! You have betrayed the Emperor! Traitor! Traitor!"

"Shut up! In the name of the emperor, you perfidious person, keep quiet when the marshal speaks! Otherwise, I will personally carry out the majesty bestowed by the emperor!" Trajan said sharply and slammed the long-handled battle ax in his hand On the ground, the dull rumbling sound seemed to frighten the old man, and the pope fell to the ground screaming wildly while clutching his chest.

He continued to talk wildly, the high lords around looked at him, and Vito also looked at the crazy old man and sighed helplessly, "Emperor's chosen people? You search for food and supplies and hoard them within the high walls And those who have abandoned all of Terra, the people of humanity whom the Emperor and I swore thousands of years ago to find a future for, his people, what right do you have to continue to rule in his name?"

"We are doing this to defend Terra! My lord, everything we do is for the Emperor!" Marshal Desmond raised his head and pressed his chest and shouted loudly, but Vito glared at him For a moment, that stare just made Desmond shut up.

"You! Desmond! As the supreme leader of the imperial army I established, your stupidity and arrogance have made me unable to bear it! To be honest, you can become the lord marshal of the star army itself is the greatest humiliation to me! Defending Terra? Anyone who has received a modicum of military education knows that if you abandon the part of Terra outside the palace, it means giving up all orbital and planetary defense positions! You are only hiding the Emperor in the palace. Self-respect, just extend the doomed death as long as possible, so that your ridiculous life can continue for just a moment!"

"But my lord! You did the same thing back then! During the Horus rebellion, you and Lord Dorne gave up most of Terra, defended the palace and won the final victory. The leader of the traitor was beheaded, and Terra got it. save!"

"Then tell me who sacrificed himself to save Terra?! We were alone and helpless at the time, did you think the palace's void shield was invincible?! If it wasn't for Horus' plan to proclaim himself emperor in Taira, instead of Intending to destroy Terra, the entire Throneworld will be blasted to atom by his fleet in a matter of days!"

Vito snapped, furious lightning flashed around him as he roared, "If the Emperor hadn't killed Horus at the end of his life, we would have died long ago! The whole of Terra and the whole empire are gone! You have heard that story thousands of times, right? The great sacrifice of the Emperor, tell me Lord Marshal, do you think the Emperor will stand up and save you this time?! Sacrifice yourself again to save you moths! "

"So do you think Abaddon will do that? Will he give you a chance for an "epic showdown"? Abaddon just destroyed Cadia, and you don't think he will completely destroy Terra as well, but on the ground Wasting time calling you? Do you think he is stupid or are you an idiot?"

   "I, I." Desmond was so scolded in front of the military **** of the empire that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He just looked at Vito in front of him and looked at his **** in horror.

"Do you think I would do that right? I would, but not for you moths! All the crimes you have committed are unspeakable! I have not set foot on Terra for two days, and I have seen your crimes Over and over again! Not to mention the bunch of bad things you guys did before!"

Vito roared and glared at the high lords in front of him. They all knelt on the ground and looked at Vito in horror. The golden giant pointed at the lords in front of him, and golden lightning flashed in his eyes as he roared. , the roaring sound was also mixed with powerful spiritual energy and bombarded the surrounding walls, shaking the entire space.

   "My lord, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I don't want to make you more angry, but there is one thing you must know, and I must tell you according to my duty."

Angvar stood beside Vito and looked at his leader, Vito also turned his head slightly to look at Angvar, he took a deep breath and nodded, "Speak, Angvar, tell me. "

"Before your arrival, at the meeting of the lords, Minister Humphrey ordered to continue to search for food and take away the last bit of food from the people of Terra. Admiral Bona, the naval lord, warned him that this would cause a larger scale attack on Terra. , an unstoppable riot, many armies and armed forces will join the uprising, and the palace will be captured by the uprising."

"However, Minister Humphrey asked Desmond Lord Marshal how to deal with it. The Lord Marshal's solution was appalling. He suggested ordering the Imperial Navy to bomb the entire Terra from orbit, and blow up all the rebels with their nests. , as well as the innocent residents among them, while eliminating the uprising, we can also feed less of those people.”

   Angvar was right, Vito was furious as soon as he said his words, and he glared at the kneeling High Lord, who almost went into cardiac arrest.

"Now I know how the Emperor turned into a mummy, not by the Astronomican, but by you idiots! How much more "surprise" do you want to give me? No, you won't There is a chance, because from now on today you will be deprived of the power of the high lord!"

As soon as Vito said this, all the high lords stared wide-eyed. They looked at Vito with incredible expressions, but Vito's angry eyes made none of them utter a single rebuttal, especially Humphrey, he looked at Vito in extreme shock, his hands clasped in his hands.

"In the name of the emperor, I declare that the high lord council is hereby disbanded. The era when you used the name of the emperor to extort money to satisfy your own selfish desires is over. Those who are talented among you will be retained in this department and continue to serve in our department. Serve the Empire and the Emperor under the leadership of Guilliman, while some of you will be stripped of all power!"

As soon as Vito said this, Minister Humphrey stood up suddenly, and he and Vito glared at each other and roared, "No one can deprive us of our power! No one can dissolve the High Lords Council established by the Emperor himself! You. You are trying to conspire! You want to betray the empire! You dismissed us in order to monopolize the power of the empire and depose the emperor!"

"Heretic! Heretic! You are a fake supreme commander! You are a fake! You are all heretics!" The Pope roared and got up from the ground. He stared at Vito in front of him with his bloodshot eyes, and his mouth was full Crazy talk.

Vito looked up at the two oldest, but also the craziest high lords in front of him. They continued to curse Vito with the most vicious curses. Behind him, Commander Trajan grabbed his hands and stepped forward, "Take care of yourself!" Your mouths! Sinners! The words of Marshal Vitor are the words of the Emperor! You bark again in defiance of the authority of the Emperor himself!"

"Heretic! You are a heretic! Commander Trajan! You are a traitor! Since you dare to assist this heretic to betray the emperor?! Sure enough, the imperial army has been completely corrupted! You are all traitors!" Humphrey pointed at the picture irrationally. Rajan roared, and the latter was enraged instantly. The commander and the imperial guards behind him raised their weapons and walked towards the lords in a rage. If Vito raised his hand to stop them, the lords present might be killed. His body was broken into pieces.

Vito looked up at Humphrey in front of him, he just glanced at him contemptuously, and then looked at Admiral Bona behind him, Vito slightly raised his power armor to signal Bona to get up, " I know you, Admiral Boehner, and I know you are a respectable man, so stand up."

"You know me? My lord?" Bona asked flatteredly, and Vito nodded slightly. He looked at the other lords in front of him, "I know all of you, so I know who is good enough to continue. Those who serve the Emperor, you are one of them, so stand up, Admiral Bonar, and Lady Natasha, you all stand up."

   "And you." Vito's words were suddenly filled with anger, and his calm tone seemed to be ignited like fuel. He looked at the three most shameful high lords in front of him.

   "Humphrey, Pope and Desmond, you will be deprived of all powers. I, Vito Constantine, the Supreme Marshal of the Empire, sentence you in the name of the Emperor."

"No one can judge me! Bastard! No one can judge the Lord Marshal!" Desmond stood up with a roar, and he suddenly pulled out a bolter from the side waist of his large military coat. The shotgun pointed at Vito, aiming the black muzzle between Vito's eyebrows.

"Bold!" Trajan roared and raised his battle axe. The Custodians behind him picked up the bolter part of the halberd and aimed at Desmond. Vito gently raised his hand to stop them from shooting the lord. Marshal smashed into pieces.

Vito looked at Desmond in front of him coldly, and raised his head slightly to look at him, "You are no longer Lord Marshal, Desmond, don't use that title to keep shouting, it will only make you look more pitiful ,you all are."

"You have no right to deprive us of our power! We are lords appointed by the Emperor himself! You have no right to do this!" Humphrey roared wildly, while Trajan clenched his battle ax and slammed the end of its handle The impact hit the ground, and the huge impact echoed under the dome of the entire hall.

"No, he has. I personally escorted the marshal to the Golden Throne. The emperor gave him this right. The armor the marshal wears is the best proof. It is the emperor's armor, and it is the authority he bestows. .”

   "Lies! Lies!" The Pope yelled hysterically, pressing his head, "I am his chosen one! The Emperor will tell me himself. He... He told me that you are heretics! You are lying!"

Trajan looked at the poor and shameful old man, and he roared hysterically that everything he did was meaningless, including Desmond holding a bolt gun, while the former leader of the High Lords Council looked at him. Looking at Vito, his mechanical eyeballs were flashing red, as if his entire thoughts were on the verge of collapse, he tried to maintain the last bit of reason and looked at Vito, speaking in an extremely threatening tone.

"Without us, you can't run the three most powerful departments of the empire, the Ministry of Government Affairs, the Ministry of State Education and the Ministry of Military Affairs. Our people are spread all over the departments. Without us, no one can lead them. You need us, Marshal, you We cannot be dismissed."

Vito looked at Humphrey, who thought he was smart, and smiled. He slightly raised his head and smiled at the minister in front of him, "I will answer you with your favorite sentence, Minister Humphrey, there are plenty of people in your respective departments who are willing to Replace you, those who obey orders, and your henchmen. Believe me, they have now been sent to the Emperor by Eva, and the Emperor will decide how to punish them, and you."

"No!" The furious Humphrey yelled and tore off his white robe, and the snow-white robe symbolizing the highest authority of the Ministry of Government Affairs was torn off violently. The buttons snapped and hit the ground. Trajan and Angus Wa looked at Humphrey, and they both took a step back.

"Protect the Marshal!" Trajan roared loudly and rushed forward. He and the imperial guards stood in front of Vito like a high golden wall, and Vito looked at Humphrey in front of him from the gap between them. , he ripped off his robe, revealing the next bomb attached to his mechanical chest.

Bona and the rest of the former lords immediately backed away after seeing this. They looked at Humphrey and were shocked by what they saw, but Humphrey had completely lost his reason at this moment, and his last bit of stubborn resistance was defeated. Vito is broken, but he won't give up his rights, he won't!

"No one can deprive me of my rights! I am the eternal high lord of the Ministry of Government Affairs! Either I am, or no one can be!" Humphrey shouted while pressing the bomb embedded in his chest, he was obviously ready for a long time After realizing this, when he is finally completely unable to defend his unlimited power, he intends to die together.

"No one can take away my position! You can't either! Let's die together!" Humphrey yelled hysterically like the Pope. He looked at Vito, who walked away from the imperial guards Coming out, he gently pushed Trajan away from him, and walked in front of them in the Emperor's own armor.

Vito looked down at the three people in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him, looking at them with eyes like looking at insects, "Let me finish the sentence before you interrupted me, in the name of the Emperor, My sentence on you is ... death."

As Vito said, he clenched his fist violently, and raised his golden iron fist violently. Suddenly, a huge gravitational force gathered Humphrey, the Pope, and Desmond together. The invisible fist was clenched in his hand and raised high, and the three shameful former high lords were thrown into the sky of the dome of the council hall.

"No one! No one can take away my power! Otherwise everyone will die!" Humphrey looked at Vito below and yelled. He held the bomb on his chest and yelled, but Vito looked He smiled a little.

"Ah, you are getting old, Humphrey's former high lord and former minister of state affairs, let me help you." Vito said with a light tick of his finger, and the red light triggered by the bomb on Humphrey's chest The ribs snapped, and Humphrey screamed as he watched the folded ribs.

His screams were quickly swallowed by the explosion. Humphrey, the Pope, and Desmond were surrounded by that force. The flames of the explosion filled the psychic ball, and their bodies were inside the ball. Disappeared in the flames of the explosion, and died tragically in their own "Jedi Rebellion" before they could even scream.

Vito let go of his palm, and the ball disappeared into the air. There was nothing left, not the steel on their bodies. Vito looked down at the remaining empire standing in front of him in shock in the hall. Ministers, he looked at the people in front of him with his hands behind his back.

"You acquiesce in the treasonous behavior of these three people. I can forget the past. I spare your life because you are not rotten. You are still worthy of loyalty to me and the emperor, to serve the empire and all mankind. Soon you Those traitors and scum in their respective departments, those insects that have no need to save them will be wiped out under the joint action of the Inquisition Chamber and the Assassin Court, and now, I need your answers."

Vito stared at the remaining ministers in front of him, Bona stood at the head of them, the admiral looked at Vito in front of him, then he knelt down and buried his head in front of Vito, "I, Bona von. Admiral Ortan, on behalf of all members of the empire, I would like to swear allegiance to you, my Supreme Marshal."

"The Rogue Trader family is loyal to you, and we only follow you." The representative of the Rogue Trader knelt down, and soon behind him, Natasha also knelt down on one knee. She knelt gracefully on the ground and bowed her head to Vito .

   "The Institute of Star Language renews its oath of allegiance to you, my lord, we will continue the responsibilities we carried out ten thousand years ago."

   Soon, everyone in the hall knelt down. They represented their departments. The most powerful departments in the empire expressed their loyalty to Vito.

"The court of justice, the court of assassins formally swears loyalty to you, my lord, I will give you my title again, and I will serve you as an ordinary judge. At the same time, Judge Gordon of the Ministry of Justice also entrusted me I swear allegiance to you at this moment, and all the judges and armed forces of the Ministry of Justice are at your command."

   Angvar said and knelt beside Vito. At the same time, Trajan also knelt down with the imperial guards, and the tall bodies of the golden armored guards knelt behind Vito.

   "I, Trajan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army also swears to you in accordance with the Emperor's order that the Emperor's Forbidden Army and the Sister of Silence will obey your orders, in the name of the Emperor."

   "In the name of the Emperor, I, Vito Constantine, the Supreme Marshal of the Empire and the Acting Regent accept your oath again. Now, everyone, get up, everyone, the time we bought for us is probably coming to an end."

Vito said and signaled everyone around him to stand up. After everyone stood up, Vito turned around and walked to the corridor of the council hall behind him. The people behind him followed immediately. Trajan and Angvar followed at the front. Wa walked beside Vito and looked at his marshal.

   "My lord, where are we going now?"

  Vito showed a smile, and he walked forward with his head held high, "Go and let the empire know that the era of the Great Crusade is back."
