Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 350

  Chapter 350 Expedition Road: Fifty Years and Ten Thousand Years

Vito still remembers the first time he met Peter. It was still in the middle of the Great Crusade. At that time, the Mortal Auxiliary Army under his command and the Mechanicus God Machine Legion suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Ulano. It was a difficult time, but Fierce battle.

Vito still remembers everything that happened on Ulanor. As long as he recalls, the smell of dust on that barren planet will be mixed with the pungent diesel smell of the green-skinned garbage mecha. Many excellent fighters, both mortal and Astartes.

And Peter appeared at that time. He led the Sun Auxiliary Army, which was re-expanded due to serious attrition after the Battle of Ullano, and came to the Emperor Mirage and merged into Vito's command. At first, Vito didn't believe it. The young man from Terra, and the young Auxiliary Soldiers under him.

But after that, Peter and his soldiers won Vito's trust with their own battles and subsequent victories. Although these young men were hot-blooded, they acted as reckless as their marshal. And he always likes to die and work hard, but, like their marshal, he can win in the most difficult and desperate battles.

Peter and Vito got along very well, maybe because he came from the Usaka region of Terra, and he was a member of the Slavic blood like Vito, although after the era of strife, there were no purebred humans on Terra. , the genes of all people have mutated to varying degrees, and only Vito, who is immortal for ten thousand years, can be called a purebred human being.

But this does not affect Peter. Although he has nothing to do with Slavic blood in blood, he still inherits the traditional spirit of the ancient Ross region. Brave, and dare to follow Vito to fight those wars that are almost impossible to win, and then win.

So Vito likes Peter very much, and he also likes his soldiers. They are the best soldiers he has led since the fall of gold, so when they disappeared in the galaxy, Vito was so sad, just As if some part of his soul had been lost, he never dreamed that he would be able to meet them again.

   But now, the dream has become a reality. Vito looked at Peter in front of him. He took off his tactical helmet and looked at Vito. In Vito's memory, Peter was so young, energetic and never tired.

But now, Vito saw the wrinkles on Peter's face, the dark brown hair was still covered with white hair, and there were signs of aging on the face that was once full of vitality. Peter was old, although he He still has a heroic and resolute face, and the implant modification and the body modification technology of the empire make him still strong and tough, but he is really old.

Vito looked at Peter, and he stared slightly at the other Sun Army soldiers behind Peter. They all took off their helmets one after another. When they lifted their helmets, what appeared in Vito's mind were The face in memory, the face of youth, but when the helmet was lifted, what caught his eyes was a group of veterans. The white hair and wrinkles made the young people in memory become old people.

  Vito took a step forward and looked at them in surprise. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but looked at the lips of the veterans in front of him trembling. He tried hard to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

Lilith, standing behind Vito, was not as surprised as Vito. She looked at the webway veterans in front of her who were about to kill her just now. She glanced at the soldiers who took off their helmets one by one, and she found that there was no one among them. All veterans, and some young men.

The young Soldiers of the Sun Army took off their helmets and stood behind the veterans with their guns in their hands, looking at each other. Unlike the old people in front of them, they were not surprised or respectful at all when they saw Vito. They looked at each other and whispered Conversing, as if discussing a stranger.

  Lilith exposed her ears blocked by her silver hair. She closed her eyes and listened to the conversations of those young soldiers. They looked at Vito curiously and whispered to each other.

"He is the marshal? It seems a bit different from what you imagined." "Then what did you imagine?" "I don't know how to say it, but he is more handsome than this? There are lights on his body or something, and there is a super Cool weapons or something."

The two young men were talking to each other, and another young man walked up behind them. He was wearing a heavy Sun Army armor, and he carried the melta cannon that hit Lilith's shield first, and walked towards them. Behind him, he was wearing heavy armor that was a circle bigger than the two guys in front of him, overlooking the two guys in front of him.

"You're talking about the emperor, right? It's shining with gold, and there's a cool sword or gun or something." The heavy armor gunner said, and the young man in front of him shrugged, and he carried the blaster on his shoulders. On the shoulder, the firearm looked smoother and flatter than today's laser guns. There were no unnecessary corners and bumps. It was as smooth as a drop of water, with only a diamond-shaped opening at the end.

   "I haven't seen the Emperor, and of course, I haven't seen the Marshal either. Don't we all know it from the old guys bragging? It's all based on imagination."

  Lilith opened her eyes, she looked at the young man on the side and smiled slightly, "It's really interesting, um, it seems that my trip to the Internet Dao will not be boring."

Lilith said and looked towards Vito's direction. He walked up to Peter and looked at Peter who was in front of Vito's abdomen with unbelievable eyes, but the latter didn't mind the condescending contempt at all, and immediately Standing at attention and saluting Vito.

"Marshal, I am very glad to see you again. I thought I would never be able to salute you again in my life." The slightly old Peter raised his arms and said loudly, and the veterans behind him stood at attention and saluted. He raised his arms neatly, and looked at Vito with eyes that were still resolute despite their old faces.

  Lilith noticed that the young people behind them saluted Vito after looking at the veterans in front of them, and then saluted Vito after some thought, instead of the veterans' hesitation.

Vito looked at them, and Vito immediately stood up straight after being shocked. He raised the Power Claw on his right arm to salute them one by one. He scanned the faces of the veterans and carefully looked at them. Looking at the soldiers he knew, Vito could call each one of them by name.

  Time may blur their appearance and change their faces in memory, but Vito still remembers each of them, even after ten thousand years, he has never forgotten them.

"Peter, what are you doing here?" Vito couldn't speak because he was excited and surprised. He looked at Peter in front of him, and the latter nodded slightly. He lowered his arms and looked up at Vito's face. eyes.

Peter looked up at those golden eyes, he looked at the golden arc jumping out of them and heaved a long sigh, all worries in his heart disappeared, he knew that the one in front of him was Vito, the one they had been waiting for for a long time For a long time, I thought that I would never see the marshal, officer, and friends again in my life.

Peter smiled, and the veterans behind him also showed sincere smiles, "We crashed here. We have been trying to get in touch with the Empire for decades, but all failed. I never expected to see you again. sir."

"We haven't seen each other for decades, I think fifty years? I'm so glad to see you again." Peter said with a smile. After hearing this, Vito was stunned for a moment. He looked at Peter, and then looked up again. The veterans behind him.

   "You said, only fifty years?" Vito asked in surprise, but Peter looked equally confused. He turned his head and glanced at the veterans behind him, and they all looked at Peter and shrugged.

"I don't remember the exact time, sir, but I think about fifty years, after all, these children are so old." Peter said, Vito noticed the young people behind them, he kept paying attention The focus was on reuniting with the veterans, and these young people were once ignored.

After Vito stared at them for a moment, he glanced at the young men standing behind the veterans. Their appearances were very young, and every face was full of youth and vitality. They were more like Vito's memory. They look like young people, young warriors who are not afraid of tigers when they are newborn calves.

   "Are they recruits? Here? In the webway?" Vito looked at Peter in disbelief and asked, who held a gun and smiled at the young people behind him.

   "Yes, sir, they're all recruits, and we're trying to make them look more like real soldiers, but I think that...will take a while."

After hearing this, Vito looked up at the heavy armored gunner. When he saw Vito looking over, he immediately raised his right fist to salute. Vito stared at him for a moment, then immediately looked at Peter, "These children are, Yours?"

When Vito said this, there was a hint of a smile amidst the shock. His words embarrassed the veterans around him. They cleared their throats and stretched their legs, and some turned their heads away. Use your eyes to warn these little guys behind you to stand at attention and not to embarrass them.

The young people stood up straight after being warned by the eyes of the veterans. They looked in Vito's direction with their heads held high, and tried their best to maintain a serious and formal look, but Vito could see that they were serious in their hearts. Meaning nothing.

  Vito watched the young people burst out laughing. He swept across them with a wry smile, as well as the veterans in front of him, "Are you all married? By the Emperor, this is really a surprise."

"Yes, sir, we...I promise to make these little guys eligible to serve you." Peter said, looking at the young people behind him. He looked at these recruits and sighed helplessly. There was a kind of old father who saw that he was not The feeling of being angry with my son.

  Vito folded his arms and looked at Peter in front of him. He looked at Peter's old father's expression jokingly, "Are you married? Is your child here too?"

"No, sir, he's in the fortress, not here, although he is." Peter sighed helplessly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his son, but Vito laughed, he looked at Peter and these veterans, He really didn't think that these guys would get married and start a family and have offspring.

  I mean, since these guys can be parents? real? Vito still remembered the virtues of Peter and the others back then, they belonged to the guys who were more insane than Vito, and they, since, well, there are so many surprises in this webway.

"It's nothing strange. After all, it's been sixty years. It's normal to get married and have a baby, but I hope I won't forget what is identification between friend and foe." Lilith said and walked to Vito's side. Holding the long knife in one hand, with the back of his hand on his waist, he looked at Peter.

With the other finger, she pointed to the corset that had burned a hole in herself and turned into a hole dress. Peter cleared his throat in embarrassment looking at the dress, and he turned his head murderously to look at the young people behind him. When I saw Lilith, who was so beautiful that I couldn't describe it in words, I was so attracted by her that I couldn't even look away.

They're all staring at Lilith with ecstatic eyes, but it's not their fault, after all Lilith is the queen of succubi, you know, there's no shame in being attracted to her as a man, well, maybe women are no exception , after all you know, Slaanesh succubus, men and women take it all.

"Stand at attention! Put away your gangster-like eyes! Johnson! Come here!" Peter looked at the young people and shouted, and immediately the young people were frightened and stood up again. The young soldier who said that Vito did not look like he imagined in front of Gunner A quickly ran up to Peter with his gun on his back.

"Colonel!" Johnson ran to Peter and stood at attention. He stood upright in front of Peter, who looked at him seriously, "You said you found an Eldar appearing at the ambush point? Tell me Where is the clan?! Except you let us hit the Marshal! By the Emperor, if the Marshal hadn't been wearing power armor, I would definitely kill you now!"

  Johnson was a little flustered. He looked at Lilith in a daze, and the latter smiled and waved to him, "I swear, Colonel! I definitely see that she is an Eldar!"

"Look at her ears. Are these ears pointed? You are used as an observer, not a daydream!" Peter scolded loudly, the voice was loud and full of deterrence, and Johnson was shocked back two Stepping forward, he subconsciously wanted to escape, but this made Peter glared at him even more fiercely.

"Stand up for him, stand at attention before I'm about to shoot you!" Peter shouted loudly, Johnson immediately stood up straight again after being startled, he turned his head to look at Lilith, and carefully observed from head to toe again Again, she did look human in every sense of the word, but Johnson could have sworn he'd seen her in the woods before with pointy ears and talking to a dying Eldar.

   But now, Lilith just greeted him with a smile, with a teasing smile on his face. Vito glanced at Lilith next to him, and he knew that this girl was playing tricks on this unlucky child.

Vito smiled and pressed Peter's shoulders, the latter stopped scolding, turned to look at Vito, "Okay, let's bypass this kid, recruits always make mistakes on the spur of the moment, and this time they didn't Take any loss as a lesson."

Peter nodded after hearing this, and he turned to look at Johnson next to him, who was still standing nervously, "Did you hear that? Thank you Marshal, brat, I will spare you this time, and make this stupid mistake next time." I'm going to hang you on the bridge deck for two days in the sun!”

"Follow me!" Johnson said loudly, his tense expression made his face so tense and ridiculous, Vito burst out laughing when he saw that expression, and Lilith beside him also grabbed Vito's arm and turned her head, laughing loudly. Laughing, this made Johnson even more nervous and embarrassed.

  Peter also smiled, and he waved his hand at the young man, "Okay, let's go down and return to the team." "Yes, sir!"

As Johnson said, he turned around and strode towards the team behind him. Peter smiled and looked at the young people going away, but suddenly the sunlight on the land in front of him was blocked, and a tall figure blocked the light. Peter was surprised Turning his head, he saw the tall red giant who came forward and stood behind Vito.

  He looked down at Peter in front of him, his red-gold one-eyed gleaming in the shadows. Peter was shocked when he saw him, and then immediately saluted him, "Lord Magnus, it's a pleasure to meet you."

   "Are you glad to see me?" Magnus said in surprise, he looked at Peter in front of him in great puzzlement, didn't he call out a traitor, and then took the gun and shot himself twice? But nice to see myself?

Magnus was puzzled, but Peter was also surprised by Magnus' doubts. He slightly shrugged his shoulders, "I heard that there was an accident in Orospero, Lord Russ and you have some misunderstandings. There was a conflict, but I think since you came with the marshal, it means that the misunderstanding is still resolved, right?"

He didn't know what happened to Prospero, which is not surprising, because the news of Prospero's burning, and the news of Magnus' betrayal of the Emperor, reached Terra. In order to lure away the Iron Hand's invasion fleet, they disappeared into the galaxy. They don't know what happened.

Magnus looked at Peter who was not hostile in front of him. His eyes were full of respect and even friendliness when he looked at himself. Magnus could not remember how many years he had not tasted this feeling. Love, in the subspace, everyone in Tzeentch's Demon Realm is stabbing each other, there is no trust and friendship at all.

But Magnus could feel those emotions from Peter's eyes, those feelings that Magnus thought he had forgotten long ago. He raised his head and looked around at the veterans like Peter, who had no hostility towards him , even, love, love for a human guardian.

Vito turned his head slightly to look at Magnus. He looked at Magnus who said nothing, and then looked down at Peter. The latter also seemed to have noticed the peculiarity of Vito's power armor. Peter observed carefully. After wearing the armor, he raised his head to look at Vito's face.

   "I've never seen you in power armor, Marshal."

"Wow, the times are always changing, so you can keep up with the times." Vito said with a smile, while Peter looked at the power armor and was silent for a while. The last time when he looked at the Emperor from a distance, the power armor worn by the Emperor was exactly the same, the only difference was that it was much smaller.

   "Marshal, have we won Horus' rebellion? I think your power armor is the same as the Emperor's. Is the Emperor okay?"

  Vito looked down at Peter in front of him and was silent for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the messy forest glade around him, "This is not suitable for small talk. I have many questions to ask you, and I believe you have too."

   "Indeed, sir, this is not suitable for small talk, please come with me, I dare say that if everyone knows that you are coming, they will be very excited to see you, especially Captain Renata."

"Rena? Renata is still alive?" Vito said excitedly. He knelt down on one knee in front of Peter. He held Peter's shoulder and asked. The latter showed a happy smile, and he nodded slightly. .

"Yes, sir, everyone is still there. They are in the direction of the battleship. Come with me." Peter said with his gun on his back. Vito looked at Peter who turned and walked towards the woodland. He greeted Vito and his party , and then walked into the forest.

Vito saw that the veterans and young people around him were followed by their guns. They looked around vigilantly and followed Peter, and walked into the dense woodland. Vito was also fighting with the horses. Gnus and Lilith nodded to each other and got up to follow.

Vito followed Peter through the forest. He was wearing a golden power armor and followed behind Peter. The crown of trees above his head was rustling in the wind. The sun was cut into countless fragments by the dense forest and shone on Vito's body. , The fragments of the sun kept flashing across his face.

He walked forward, and Magnus and Lilith followed behind him. They walked in the center of the Sun Army soldiers on both sides, followed closely by Peter who was the leader, and walked through the forest path, surrounded by the Sun Army soldiers. Surrounded by Vito, he quickly saw the end of the forest path, which was a ray of light, a bright sunny area.

  Vito walked out into the light, and his vision was suddenly swallowed by the sunlight, but gradually Vito's eyes got used to the strong light, and the scene in the halo began to appear gradually.

After Vito shook his head, his eyes saw Peter standing on the hill in front of him in the bright sunlight. He stood on the sunny grass with a gun in his hand and slightly turned his head to signal Vito to come up. The latter looked at Peter, Then he walked up the hill.

  Vito stood on the hill and looked forward, his eyes widened, those golden eyes reflected golden light under the sun, and what Vito saw was reflected in those eyes.

In the valley in front of him, a warship fell between the forest and the mountains. It was lying on the ground like a crouching dragon. The huge hull almost penetrated the two ends of the entire valley. In the forest surrounded by green trees In it, a huge propeller rose from the jungle, just like its body, the armor was shining brightly in the sun, and the lightning logo branded on it shone with golden light.

   "The Emperor's Mirage." Vito said softly.
