Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 327

  Chapter 327 Rise of the Primarch: Stormfall

Varrick was walking under the huge dome of the orbital deck. He was walking around anxiously, yelling, driving the ground crew and servitors who were busy around. The workers shouted loudly.

   "Hurry up! You lazy pigs! Hurry up! Marshal Vito could be here any minute! If it's still this mess when he arrives you'll all be whipped! And I promise I'll beat you to pieces!"

The workers carrying the boxes loaded the gray-green long boxes one by one onto the transport truck. They turned their heads and looked at Varik, who was wearing a gray-green military uniform and a big-brimmed hat with two silver stars on his shoulders behind him. One of them complained and patted the box next to him.

"But Lieutenant Colonel, where are we going to move these boxes? They haven't been registered yet." A worker with a registration book asked in surprise. He tapped the notebook in his hand, but Lieutenant Colonel Warrick was annoyed He walked over and grabbed his notebook and slapped him on the head.

  Varik slapped the worker on the forehead heavily, and the latter subconsciously took a few steps back and hit the carriage of the transport truck. The worker rubbed his head and looked at the speechless Varik in front of him.

The lieutenant colonel glanced at the boxes on the car, then took out a pen from his pocket and quickly signed a line. The line that was supposed to be beautiful also became twisted because of Warrick's writing speed. Crooked, barely able to make out his name, Varik threw the notepad to the worker after he finished writing in a fluttering manner.

"I'm approved to enter the warehouse! Hurry up and get rid of these ghost things!" Varik yelled, pointing at the box on the car. He also looked nervously at the direction of the entrance to the deck. He knew that Vito might come from there at any time. Appear, and the Emperor above! Why did those oil guys choose to log in here! This ghostly place was just an ordinary cargo deck ten minutes ago, filled with boxes and cans everywhere, but now it is welcoming the arrival of the Marshal.

To make matters worse, Varik only found out about this five minutes ago, and he hurried over, because everyone on the deck knew that he was now the Marshal's personal choice, so this temporary and ill-fated reception job Throw it to Varik.

  He rushed over in a hurry, and grabbed all the workers, machine servants, and ground crews he encountered along the way to clean up the deck, the Emperor! This deck full of containers is by no means used to welcome a god. If the marshal is dissatisfied, everyone here will be lightly whipped, and there is a high probability that they will be killed directly!

   "But sir, you are not the manager of the warehouse, so you don't have permission to come here," the worker muttered softly while looking at the signature on his hand, and then chose to shut up when Warrick turned his head and stared frighteningly.

"I am the Marshal's entourage! What I say is the highest instruction! Now get rid of these ghosts! As far as you can!" Varik growled and looked at the workers in front of him. They looked at each other, now Still struggling with whether Varik really has this qualification and power, but Varik can't wait any longer.

The lieutenant colonel stepped forward and grabbed the worker holding the notebook by the collar, and Warrick pushed him towards the cab of the transport vehicle, then punched and kicked the rest of the workers to get on the vehicle or go to other places immediately. Under his "vivid reminder", the transport truck pulled the boxes and drove away, and everyone ran to other places to help.

Varik watched them rubbing his head silently. He straightened his military uniform and looked around at the busy crowd. Everyone was working intensely. The messy deck just now became much cleaner. Well, there are still a lot of boxes left here, but at least the order is acceptable.

  There are two silver stars branded on the rank insignia on Varik's shoulders, and the pair of silver stars shone brightly under the light of the deck. Yes, that's right, remember what I said before? Lieutenant Colonel Warrick, not Captain.

That's right, after Warrick was promoted, he was promoted two ranks in a row and stepped into the commander class. This is not common, even considering that Warrick himself has a prominent family background, but this is still quite rare in the army. The rank generally only appears among officers with outstanding military exploits and undisputed service history. They usually have fought for the empire for most of their lives, and they are not too young.

But Varik is obviously very young, quite young, and his promotion is not at all because of military exploits, let alone because of his family, if the latter can work, he will already be a member of the commander class, and he can be promoted because of Vito , as I said before, everyone knows that Varik is now Vito's entourage, and as the entourage of the Marshal, the rank of captain is obviously too low, so those in the Military Affairs Department are still scared because the Marshal Lord was executed. The half-dead officials planned to curry favor with Vito by promoting Varik, hoping that he would give them some good words in front of the Supreme Commander.

Warrick still remembers the scene when he was awarded the title. Even Hancock, the new Minister of Military Affairs, went there in person. He personally put on the rank for himself, and he was trying to please himself throughout the whole process. Hmph, it was obvious that the entire Military Affairs Department didn't care about me as a small officer before, but now that he has become the marshal's entourage, the attitude of these speculators has changed 180 degrees.

  Varrick continued to growl as he thought about it, he yelled at the workers around him, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Get those garbage out of me!"

As he roared, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him. It was an ensemble of heavy footsteps, the sound only made when tall giants stepped across the armored floor. Warrick immediately looked at him in surprise. After entering the entrance of the deck, a group of giants in golden armor came in under the arch.

The lieutenant colonel looked at the golden giant at the head, his power claws swayed gently by his side, and a golden halo flashed behind his head. He strode into the deck with his head held high, followed by a crowd of golden armor Guards surrounded them.

Everyone around the place he passed knelt down, and the workers who were busy moving things just dropped the goods in hand, and immediately turned to face him and knelt down without hesitation. It was the people kneeling on the ground, and they all fell on the ground facing the golden man.

Varrick immediately ran up, he quickly ran to the golden giant and looked up into his eyes, and the latter also smiled and looked at Varik in front of him, "Well, Captain Warrick, oh, no Sorry, I didn't notice you're a lieutenant colonel now."

"My lord!" Varik said and immediately fell to his knees. He knelt down in front of Vito and buried his head to face Vito. "Please forgive us, my lord. We started tidying up the deck temporarily. I didn't expect you It's here so soon."

"It's okay, Varrick, I'm a soldier and I don't need to be greeted in a place that is clean and tidy enough to waste time, this place is clean enough, and considering all this was done in such a short period of time, you guys did a good job. "

"It's a great honor! My lord!" Varik knelt on the ground and buried his head in a loud voice. Vito smiled slightly. Hancock.

   "General Hancock, I remember that Officer Warrick used to be a captain, right? His current rank is lieutenant colonel. Is such a promotion based on his seniority and service experience in line with the regulations?"

It was only then that Warrick noticed that Hancock was also there, and the new Minister of Military Affairs approached Vito with the utmost flattery. He tried his best to keep calm but still had a nervous and awkward smile on his face, "My lord, as Your Field Marshal, the Captain of the High Marshal's suite, is too low a rank, so we've decided to raise Varik to a rank worthy of you."

"I'm not that great, not enough to break the rules to satisfy me, and besides, lieutenant colonel, captain or second lieutenant, talented people can follow me, and I will give them the power they deserve, regardless rank."

Vito looked down at Hancock in front of him. The latter stepped back nervously and bumped into Eisenstein's leg. He saw the Captain of the Imperial Fist standing behind him and jumped forward a few times in fright. step.

  Vito still looked at him, and after the latter turned his head nervously, he slightly turned his head to look at Warrick in front of him, "Let Varik continue as captain and follow the rules. Do you have any objections? Warrick."

   "Of course not, Marshal, in fact I would be more than happy to do so."

   "Oh? How do you say it?"

   “Because then I don't have to be kidnapped by certain people, and groups into their political chariot, and I can actually serve you.”

  Varrick glanced at Hancock out of the corner of his eye as he spoke. The latter glanced at Vito nervously and also glanced at him. The new Minister of Military Affairs was so frightened that his legs could hardly stand up.

Vito just looked at him and smiled coldly, then turned his head to look at Varik, he raised his hand slightly to signal him to stand up, "Then get up, follow me, all of you get up , don't let me delay your work.”

Varik nodded slightly, and when Vito passed by, he also stood up and followed Vito. The young Varik followed the high marshal's side and followed his footsteps across the deck, And behind him were the tall golden armored guard and two Astartes monks.

Varik turned his head to observe the other attendants behind him. He naturally recognized the two Astartes. He had seen the Captain of the Imperial Fists and the Apothecary of the Ultramarines on the deck at that time, although they were both wearing helmets before. , so that Varik didn't recognize their faces, but now he saw them and knew what they looked like.

Eisenstein nodded gently to Warrick, who immediately nodded in response to the company commander, and then Warrick looked at the rest of the people, needless to say the Imperial Guards, and Hanko who came to flatter him Harker and Mr. Harker, but he also accidentally noticed a female warrior wearing the same pattern, carving and even style power armor as the imperial army.

Varik looked at the female warrior in surprise. She walked with an icy-eyed gaze and carried an extremely wide two-handed giant sword behind her back. The ends of the silver locks waved as he walked.

  Varrick had never seen a female warrior like this before, and he was sure she wasn't a member of the Battle Sisters, but more like a Custodian, but were there any mortal warriors among the Custodians? Or a woman?

   "Varrick." Vito said suddenly in front of him, interrupting Varik's observation and conception of the female warrior. He immediately turned his head to look at Vito in front of him, put his hands on his chest and bowed his head, "My lord."

"When will the Martians arrive?" Vito said, walking along the deck, his head slightly glanced at the entrance and exit of the deck with blue gas shields shining in the distance, and a ship was sailing on the background of the Milky Way with stars shining outside. warships, including red warships sailing in it.

   "I believe they will be here soon. People from the Mechanicum are never late. Those who are on time are like clocks." Varik and Vito said looking at the fleet outside, and Vito nodded slightly.

   "Very well, how long did it take for them to arrive?"

  After hearing the marshal's question, Warrick immediately took out the pocket watch in his arms and looked at it, "Now, my lord." "Well, it can be seen that they are indeed punctual, not missing a single cent."

After Vito said, Warrick raised his head again and saw an Arc'teryx transport plane flying in from the outside. The very unique small transport plane unique to the Mechanicum flew in from outside the air shield. The red fighter plane was like a Vibrating its wings like a big steel bird, it slowly flew in from outside the deck.

The Archeopteryx slid a certain distance above the deck pier and then stopped. With the adjustment of the vector jet port and the angle of the wings, the Archeopteryx hovered slowly and steadily and then landed. The red iron bird was accompanied by a huge downdraft landed on the deck.

Vito stopped, and he and all the entourage around him stood in front of the Arc'teryx transport plane. At the end of the transport plane, a hatch fell down after the yellow indicator light rotated and flickered. The landing time of the hatch was It is almost seamlessly connected with the landing, and it is amazing the execution of Mechanicus.

As the cabin door fell, several members of the Mechanicum stepped down from it. Their iron feet stepped on the cabin door and stepped off the Archeopteryx. These visitors, who were almost completely mechanized, walked out of the transport plane and came to Vito for a few steps. Looking up at the golden giant in front of him from a distance.

The leading Skitarii officer looked at Vito with his mechanical eyes. His rose-red mechanical eyes locked on Vito. After a while, he knelt down as if he had completed the identification. He was dressed differently from those behind him. The members of the Mechanicus knelt before Vito.

   "Lord Supreme Marshal, I am ordered by Mars Forged General to lead the Martian Skitarii, War Fleet and Titan Legion to serve you loyally. In the name of Om Messiah, we will obey all your orders."

"Mars Forged General? Are you here under his order?" Vito frowned slightly after hearing this, and he looked at the leader of the Skitarii in front of him and said coldly, the power claw in his hand couldn't help but clenched. tighten up.

   But obviously, the leader of the Skitarii did not notice the hostility in the words, he was just explaining the meeting words mechanically, the program written in his own program.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Marshal, we are here under the order of General Foundry, and the Great Sage Belisarius Kaur personally gave instructions. The Great Sage Kaur asked me to convey a word to you."

"The troubled problem has been solved, and the day of salvation is coming. I wish you good luck, my friend, and we will see you in the end." The leader of the cathars said coldly, his voice instantly changed into Kaul's, and that A very unique and weird synthesized sound came out from the throat of the cathar leader.

  Vito froze for a moment when he heard Kaul's voice, and then released his power claw with a silent smile. He knew what happened.

"I'm honored, Grand Marshal of the Skitarii, please stand up and introduce me so that I know how to address you." Vito said and raised his hand to signal that the members of the Mechanicus kneeling in front of him were not on the same level as Terra. The officials were so frightened that they didn't dare to get up, they just stood up, obviously in the data calculation they would not feel uncomfortable standing in front of the Supreme Marshal, and this is the quality that Vito needs at the moment.

  He needs a group of calm fighters, subordinates who can speak boldly to him, not a group of bureaucrats who are afraid of him and only flatter him.

"I am the high-ranking general of the Martian Skitarii, Beta β-1. I have been ordered to lead the Martian Skitarii Legion. Sage's advice, and divine gift, he gave us three general cannons, let me bring them to Terra to fight for you."

"Hey, three generals cannons? I know that guy Kaur has hidden a lot of good things. I didn't expect him to be such a rich man. I will definitely go to him before the expedition starts." Vito said with a smile, and then looked at To the other two Mechanicists behind Beta, they were all wearing red robes, but the logos on them were completely different.

   "Where are these two venerable priests? What should I call our friends?"

   "The one on my left is Priest Eugen. He is in charge of commanding all the ships of the war fleet. Priest Eugen will take your orders on his Oberon-class battleship "Om Messiah's Wrath"."

  Beta slightly raised his hand to introduce the priest on the left, who immediately nodded to Vito, and the marshal also nodded politely to him in response.

   "How many warships did your fleet bring? Father Eugen."

   "Two battleships, ten main battlecruisers, twenty cruisers, and one hundred and sixty frigates of various types. The fleet will wait for all your orders, Marshal."

  Eugen Machinery's introduction said that there was only the cold echo of the computing system in the words, but this also allowed him to report to Vito in the most concise way the amount of key fleet power he brought to Terra.

Vito nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the last priest on the right. He was wearing a dark red robe and a unique helmet that was completely integrated with his head. The huge blue mechanical Turning to his right eye, "And you? Priest."

   "This is the Alpha pilot and the legion commander sent by the Order of the Titans. He will command the Titans to fight for you."

"Our honor, I have three warlord-level Titans under my command, including my car "God's Wrath", and sixteen knights and ten war dogs. The soldiers of the God of Myriad Opportunities are waiting for your orders ,grown ups."

The Supreme Marshal nodded slightly to show his respect, his huge power claw was slightly raised, and the golden lightning flashed on it as if echoing, "My honor, Alpha Pilot, I am honored to be able to fight side by side with the Titan Legion , I believe you will unleash the wrath of the Om Messiah and the Emperor."

"Also, General Beta, our friend, you see, Minister of State Mr. Harker is troubled by a problem. He needs food and supplies to solve the current imminent famine in Terra. I think maybe you can provide corresponding Help, did I guess wrong?"

Vito smiled and faced the Marshal of the Beta Guardian Army, his mechanical eyes watched the Supreme Marshal in front of him turn around a few times, and then made a weird synthetic electronic sound with the voice that had been replaced by the mechanical sound device long ago, "Yes, My lord, at the direct request of the great sage Belisariu Kaur, our fleet has brought redundant supplies from Mars, hoping to meet your request."

Vito smiled in satisfaction, and turned his head to look at Mr. Huck behind him. The latter was standing with Hancock nervously looking around at the Custodians and Astartes. He stood among them quite It's awkward, you know, it's as small as two children standing among adults.

"Mr. Harker, I think your problem has been solved. Thank our Martian allies, and then send your people to remove the goods as soon as possible, and then distribute them according to the regulations. In order to help your work, I will send the Tribunal The judges involved in the distribution, if they report to me that some materials have been withheld meaninglessly, or changed from the distribution system to being sold on the market, I will be very disappointed, quite disappointed.”

"Yes, my lord! I will supervise it myself! I promise you that you will not be disappointed!" Huck was so frightened that he knelt down directly, his head was covered with sweat, obviously he was very frightened, and now he was under pressure , a lot of pressure, because he has to ensure that the corrupt officials in the Ministry of Government Affairs who are used to pocketing their own pockets will follow the rules. Believe me, this difficulty is about the same as the difficulty of teaching Ogryn apes to care about hygiene.

  But I believe that Mr. Harker will try his best, complete the task with all his strength that he has never used in his life, and stimulate his unlimited potential that he never thought of.

Vito smiled slightly with his back to Huck, and looked sideways at Huck who was kneeling on the ground, "I believe you will, if you have any questions, go talk to Angvar, and the judges will assist you task, use their methods to convince those officials who do not cooperate."

  Huck knelt on the ground with large beads of sweat dripping on his forehead. His hands trembled and he raised his head to look at Vito, at the majestic giant standing in front of him, "Your Majesty, my lord."

"Very well, stand up now, I think we have time" Vito's voice was interrupted before he finished speaking, interrupted by a sudden piercing alarm, and continuous alarms sounded in the entire deck hall, scarlet The lights echoed and flickered on the wall.

  Everyone raised their heads and looked up at the red alarm above their heads, while Vito hesitated to speak, and then smiled wryly, "Okay, time is running out."

"Lord Supreme Marshal, according to the fleet's radar detection, a large-scale, fully armed invasion fleet has appeared in Terra's outer orbit. According to our bird's-eye radar detection, it is not the type of warship currently in service of the Empire. , but an ancient ship model that has long been decommissioned. According to the calculation of the sacred war data array, it is 100% likely to be "

"Black Fleet." Eisenstein said behind Vito. He stood among the guards and said calmly. He, Bell, Trajan and his entourage all looked at Vito. The Marshal stood In front of them, he turned his head and looked at the fleet in the harbor that was assembling urgently outside the window.

Battleships are igniting their propellers, rushing out of the star port with long propeller flames, and the sound of countless mechanical operations above Vito's head is booming on the other side of the deck, that is the sound of orbital weapons starting up, that is The horn of war.

Vito put his hands behind his back and let out a long sigh, then turned his head to face the three Mechanicus commanders, "It seems that I need your help now, return to your respective posts, and deploy the ground troops to the On the surface of Terra."

"Of course, Marshal, for the sake of the Emperor and the Om Messiah." Beta bowed slightly to Vito and walked up to the hatch of the Archeopteryx. Soon the red hatch was closed, and the nozzles of the wings of the Archeopteryx quickly flew towards the archeopteryx. Bright flames spewed out from below, and under that huge propulsion, the Archeopteryx immediately lifted into the air and flew up.

Vito turned around under the airflow of the transport plane, his hair was shaking messily under the jet airflow of the thrusters, Vito turned around and faced the group of people in front of him, who were also standing on the deck and staring Looking at the marshal, waiting for orders.

"Mister Hancock and Harker, return to your own departments at once, Trajan and Theresia, and gather your warriors, Abaddon will not give us any more time to prepare, for the sake of the Emperor .”

"For the Emperor!" Everyone turned around and dispersed after a burst of shock, leaving only Bell and Eisenstein on the deck. They watched Vito turn around again and look at the darkness outside the deck. In the starry sky, Eisenstein silently walked to Vito's side and stood with him on the pier, staring at the dark night outside.

"Marshal, do you think we can win this war?" Eisenstein asked in a low voice, while Vito raised his head slightly and looked at the night sky outside the window with a slight smile, his eyes reflected numerous sudden flashes of light , that was the teleportation light that suddenly lit up one after another in the distant cosmic background of Terra.

That piece of shining light shone like a newborn star in the night sky, one after another, until it turned into a whole sea of ​​stars shining in the night sky, Bell also walked to Vito's side and frowned at the countless flashes .

   "By the Emperor, this is going to be one."

   "An epic battle, yes Bell, now you can witness a history." Vito smiled and raised his power claw, and he stretched that claw towards the flickering teleportation starlight with a smile.

As Vito said, while he was looking at the light, Abaddon on the Spirit of Vengeance who jumped out of the portal also stood on the bridge and raised his head, staring at Terra with scarlet eyes With the Imperial warship suspended in its orbit raised its power claws.

   Abaddon stared at the golden planet with wide eyes, and his huge power claws were clenched below the planet as if to crush the planet, "Come on! Vito! Let's see who is the weak one!"

"I! I will kill the False Emperor, I! I am the Eternal Warmaster!" Abaddon roared, and at the same time, in the countless flickering teleportation lights outside his window, the battleships of the Black Legion jumped into the corpse universe one by one , They sailed towards the planet like a pack of hungry wolves accompanied by the spirit of revenge, accompanied by the Destruction Warmaster on it.

  The star named Terra will once again become a battlefield for the demigods after ten thousand years.
