Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 391

  Chapter 391 The Crusade: Humans and Eldar

   "I have no interest in those low-quality whores, Vito, I have no interest in everything there."

Victor raised his head as he spoke, and looked at Vito standing on a huge stone tablet. Flashing electric light jumped behind him standing there, and the light instantly reflected his silhouette from the darkness. overlooking Victor below.

   "Comores is a city of indulgence, but their leaders seem to have no interest in all the carnival, so what is the dark lord of Comoros interested in?"

   "Intrigue and trickery, like the feeling of a hunter aiming at his prey in the dark, just like the trick you brought me."

Victor looked up at Vito above with a sneer, and the latter also shrugged and jumped off it. He landed on the ground at once, and his face was illuminated by the thunder that jumped over his head again. The two looked at each other under the lightning, and then in the dark mist after the lightning disappeared, Vito walked to a huge boulder in front of him. He leaned against it, and his figure became blurred and distorted again.

   "Some people say that you are dead, lost in the webway forever after falling into it with Magnus."

   "Then do you believe it?"

   "Believe it? No, I know that you will come back, and there is a high probability that you will come back to find me, but I didn't expect that we would meet in this way."

   "Which way?"

  Victor looked at the silhouette in the shadow, he smiled coldly, stood on the other side of the mist and looked at the blurred figure, just like all the weird shadows around him.

   "You came alone? I thought you would bring his sons, or at least Males's people."

   "Whose son?" Vito leaned against the huge shadow, the voice came from the other side of the mist, like an ethereal auditory hallucination, just like the vague human shadow.

"The sons of Chakotai Khan, the children on the grassland, have already blown up three of my transport ships, six warehouses and a base within the last month. I thought you would take him with you stand up."

   "What are you doing together?" Vito said in the fog. He leaned there and looked at Victor on the other side. The latter snorted softly and raised his eyes to spy on the shadow over there.

"kill me."

"My friend, you approached Stull, and stole my relic from the chaos, just to come here to chat with me? I know you've met Maleth, and I know that she Already told you about that little plot."

Victor said, patted the pistol on his waist with his finger, "If you want to kill me, you'd better take that kid, he can cause me trouble for ten thousand years for this matter, Don't let him be busy for a while."

Vito knew that Khan had caused a lot of trouble in the webway, and trouble was not enough to describe it. Over the years, Vito could always hear about the kid from everywhere, and there were always various rumors. Rumors said that there was no news from each base and camp overnight, and all the people in them seemed to have disappeared from the world, and all the teams that went to investigate never returned.

A fog of shadow haunts the webway, bringing fear and death, and those survivors who were deliberately put back to convey all the fear that happened there will always repeat that tall figure over and over again, and That gleaming curved saber.

Vito's shadow leaned against the boulder, and he shrugged slightly and stood there, "I want to find him too, but if Khan doesn't want to let him be found, then no one can do it, even if he has been there traces here."

That kid was a master of guerrilla warfare, maybe master is not enough. When the Horus Heresy started, Khan was deliberately transferred to a far-off frontier and couldn't return to defend Terra in time. When Khan solved the Legion After the internal pro-Horus rebellion, he was determined to punish those traitors.

A guerrilla war started, a huge cosmic guerrilla war, the White Scars attacked everywhere, and destroyed Horus's countless supply lines, bases and key camps mysteriously, but the traitors couldn't even catch the shadow of the White Scars. Like a group of invisible shadows, appearing and disappearing anywhere.

Of all people, only Curze and the Night Lords could stand up to Khan's guerrilla warfare, but that Bat-Kid isn't here, he's somewhere else, so yes, Vito can't find Khan without his help. Khan, he can only hear those rumors that are true or false for thousands of years, looking for the smog of nothingness.

   "I don't know where the child is. If you know, I hope you tell me, it can save a lot of trouble." Vito said with a smile, and the person opposite him sneered.

"If I knew, he would have died long ago, I would bring enough people to kill him, and put an end to the destruction of the past ten thousand years, but I guess, you will stop me, you will save the child ?"

   "Probably yes." "So you see, there is one more reason why you should kill me, Vito."

The two were talking out of thin air through the smoke, but suddenly Vito stood up. He stood up from the boulder and walked towards Victor. The latter looked at the approaching shadow in the smoke, and gently slid his hand behind him. Holding some kind of knife handle under the windbreaker, some kind of silver slender blade.

Victor looked at Vito, he walked up and walked out of the smoke, and came to the front so that Victor could see the face clearly, the two looked at each other, and then Vito took out the little one from his arms. box.

He shook his hand in the air and held the box in his hand. Victor looked at the box and then moved his eyes to Vito, "I didn't come to kill you, at least not now, but someone did. You, and there are quite a few of them.”

  Victor raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the smile of the man in front of him, "Right? You just took that box and came here to chat with me? If you want, you can call me or send an email."

   "First, I don't have your number. Second, you don't use human phone calls or emails. Second, I heard that after the chaos in Comoros last time, the situation here is a bit out of control."

   "That's true. After the riot you caused in Comoros last time, my strength was greatly weakened, so many people in Comoros began to move around. You broke the balance that has been in the past thousand years."

"Indeed, and I heard that you were very angry. For this, I put a generous bounty on the little girl, Evelyn. It seems that I have it too, and it is more than Evelyn, which makes me want to I surrendered myself and took the money." Vito smiled jokingly, with his hands folded in his arms, and a playful smile on his face.

"Just take it as a kind of approval, and besides, the bounty is meaningless, it's just to show an attitude. After all, you and that girl have caused me a lot of trouble in front of everyone. If I let you go If I drop it, I will appear weak."

   "So are you ready for that bounty? Are you expecting someone to claim it?"

"From the warp, to the webway, and every corner of the galaxy, there are bounties for your head everywhere, especially in Khorne. I heard that the bounty is so high that it is enough to make everyone in the warp, Even the subordinates of the other three evil gods will be very interested."

Victor jokingly said, with the hand drawn from under the windbreaker hanging by his side, "But so far, none of them, including me, have successfully sent out the bounty, so I didn't pay much attention to it." to that bounty."

Vito also smiled playfully. He shrugged his shoulders and saw the handle of the knife held by Victor's waist. He recognized at a glance that it was the Enemy Blade. Shuai fell into the hands of Chaos to start a rebellion, and Fulgrim later used the weapon that nearly killed Guilliman, paralyzed and comatose for ten thousand years ago.

  Vito smiled and raised his eyes to meet Victor, then glanced behind Victor with his eyes, "Does anyone want to try it? For example, try using some special weapons?"

Victor in front of him turned his head and glanced behind him, it seemed that Vito recognized the weapon, but it didn't matter, they both knew it well anyway, so Victor said in a rather casual tone, " You are not an immovable target, my friend. It is not easy to kill you. In fact, it is almost crazy. .You'll make them understand too."

   "But if the situation is compelling, then it is not impossible that no one will try the crazy move." Victor said as he clenched the handle of the knife, his words sounded simultaneously with the hissing blade.

Vito snorted softly, and he started walking in front of Victor, walking back and forth in the smoke, "Don't worry, you won't need that thing today, but in the future, you might, in, On another person who offered a reward."

   "It doesn't matter what Evelyn was like now, but now he is an ally of the empire. She leads the Death Army and the Ark Eldar Council to form an alliance with the empire. It is obvious that living allies are useful."

"Although the girl is the incarnation of death now, ordinary weapons can't kill her, but she is just a reckless young man after all, and the little girl who is hundreds of years old doesn't know much about this, especially some from her employer. An assassin with a dangerous weapon."

Vito glanced at Victor as he spoke. He very directly hinted at the knife behind him and his generous reward for Evelyn. Sometimes, the owner of the reward doesn't mind helping those who want to get Bounty people, do them a little favor.

Victor glanced at the direction behind him out of the corner of his eye, then raised his eyes to look at Vito in front of him, lightly clenched the end of the blade with his fingers, and faced Vito with a smile, "Then, what is your suggestion?" What? My friend."

Of course, the latter can see that Victor's smile is insincere, but Vito doesn't mind. After all, he robbed his things and made a mess of his subordinates, and he and Malesi, who was clearly determined to rebel. The meeting was private, so Victor did have good reason to doubt himself.

Facing Victor's indifferent smile without any sincerity at all, Vito returned his signature smile, "I met Males, although I did guess her from the beginning. Where, but by coincidence, we met on that ship and made an agreement."

   "What kind of protocol?"

"Simple, I have a ship and a ship of people who need to find a webway to leave here and go back to the real universe. I guess the Empire must be messed up now, so I have to go back as soon as possible, by the way, to Guilliman, and All personal surprises."

"Malesi found me a web channel. It just so happened that that place happened to be the place where you guys are going to hold the meeting of the consul body after a while, and Marles agreed to let her people open it for me secretly. A hole, where my ship will enter, and then jump out through the webway there."

"Males will not help people in vain, even you. He is a shrewd woman. If she is willing to help you, there must be one condition. One is worthy of letting her collude with human beings in front of everyone. dangerous move."

"Indeed, the conditions she gave me are quite exciting, where will my ship enter the webway, and before that, I will carry out a saturated orbital bombing of the entire temple to ensure that no one in it knows what is outside that day It flew over, and where it flew over, of course, Malesi is not in this list."

  Vito said with a smile, Victor in front of him showed a sneer, his hand was still pressed on the sword behind him, and there was a sarcastic smile on his face.

   "It's like what she would do, to kill people with a knife, so as to eliminate the entire noble class of Comoros, except for herself, and then take advantage of the chaos in Comoros to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

  Victor smiled coldly, turned his eyes to look at Vito in front of him, "And you, Marshal Vito, you are the borrowed knife."

"Haha, it's very similar to what we did back then, isn't it? Bind a Salamander cruiser, and let the cabal group open a webway, so that the signal for help can be transmitted, and then let the Salamander who received the signal come to rescue The main fleet entered the Comoros and used their hands to take over the entire noble class of the Comoros."

  Vito smiled jokingly, putting his hands on his waist, "She obviously learned well, and learned some of my essence, but there are only a few. The master always hides some skills."

   "You mean, after reaching an agreement with Marles, they robbed me openly, and then I told me the whole plan after I was lured? Although it is indeed a surprise."

   "Yes, I think so too. I guess you want to ask me if I am going to betray Males, right?" "Since you have already seen it, I don't bother to ask."

With a burst of laughter, Vito took two steps aside. He threw the small box in his hand, threw it high and caught it again, "I will indeed help her with something, but I promise her The most important thing is to completely wipe out the human body including you, without leaving even an inch of flesh, so that the Haemonculus will have no way to revive you."

"However, what I promise is to destroy the body, not the soul." Vito opened the box with a smile, threw the contents upwards, caught them all at once, turned around and threw them to Victor , the latter stretched out his hand to catch the flying thing, and opened his palm to look at the two symmetrical fragments lying in it.

   Those are two halves of sparkling crystals, each forming a half of a curved water drop shape. When the two are put together in the palm of your hand, it will become a Tai Chi shape.

  "Isha's tears, it is said that this tear is different from all soul stones. It is not the tears of Isha as in the legend, but it is the tears of Isha herself."

Vito said sideways not far away. He raised his head and looked up at the dark night sky above his head. There were no stars on it, and it was dead black. "This tear is said to be Isa. Before she was captured by Nurgle and taken to the garden, a drop of sad tears shed contained part of the power of Isa herself."

"This makes these two crystals very different. Compared with other soul stones, its biggest feature is that the two halves are connected. The holder only needs to hold any of them. No matter how dead it is, its soul will be absorbed by the crystal, and then teleported to the other half of the crystal instantly, and there is no distance limit, and it can be transmitted across the entire galaxy."

Vito said, pointing to the two crystals in Vitek's hand, "And it can't be intercepted or blocked. Even if Slaanesh himself makes a move, he can't catch the soul in it. It can be said that it is a perfect way to travel at home and kill people. Good thing, it's worth the effort you put in to find it, if you want, you can even hold the crystal, give her the **** in front of Slaanesh, and then retreat."

  Victor raised his head, looked at Vito who was smiling in front of him, and showed a playful smile, "Keep talking, I'm listening."

"You already know what I'm thinking, don't you? With this crystal, you can send your soul to a safe place when I kill everyone on the scene, and then transfer it into your bunch of cloned bodies Resurrected, then reappeared, as a surprise to everyone."

Vito smiled, and walked back to Victor as he spoke, "When the outer guard fleet finds out that you have all been killed, the news will spread throughout the Comoros like wildfire. With evil intentions, guys with hidden evil intentions will swarm up and start fighting for the power that Comoros has created in a vacuum."

"When you are resurrected, you can spread the news that you are not dead, and ask everyone to put down their weapons and return to their respective positions. At that time, it will be clear at a glance who will obey and who will betray. Then, you can Emerged completely from the shadows, leading an orderly black-hearted conspiracy group, wiped out those traitors who had no leader and fought on their own, and wiped out Comoros at once."

Victor looked at Vito who walked in front of him, and the latter looked at him with a smile on his face. Victor looked at his eyes and raised his head slightly, "You wouldn't just help us for no reason for our friendship. My, what about your conditions?"

   "It's very simple, and you hardly need to pay any price. I want you to guarantee that Evelyn, who is on the wanted list with me, will also become a blank bounty that no one will ever claim the bounty just like me."

   Vito said, pointing to the sword behind Victor's waist. The latter glanced at the thing and then turned to look at Vito in front of him, "That's it? That's all?"

   "That's all." He said with a smile that seemed so sincere that it was ridiculous, especially here, near the Comoros.

"Your sincerity is invaluable, my friend, but there is one more problem." "You don't like the plan?" "No, in fact we two want to go together, and I planned to do that too, but I invited Some people will pass through my defense zone, this plan is perfect, there is no problem, the problem is the opportunity."

   "Opportunity?"

"Yes, my friend, Chance, why did you come to help me? You have already taken away Isa's tears. Without this thing, you can follow the agreement with Mares and take me and other Wouldn't that be more beneficial to you if you killed him together and let Malesi, your old lover, become the new queen of Comoros?"

  Vito laughed in a low voice when he heard Victor's words. He folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked directly into each other's eyes with Victor without hesitation, allowing the other party to see all the thoughts in his eyes.

   "Victor, do you still remember the agreement we reached? In the underground of the arena, when you and I were still together as slaves to make fun for the nobles."

"Of course, how could I forget? You promised to help me overthrow the aristocratic rule of Comoros and help me to power, but the condition is that I must control all kinds of looters, pirates, cabals, etc. in Comoros, and control The scope and intensity of their plundering of the physical universe."

This is an agreement Vito reached with Victor a long time ago. At that time, the Dark Eldar was under the control of the noble council. Those arrogant old nobles of the Eldar Empire had no restraint at all. With unlimited material and pleasure desires, they sent their troops to plunder the entire empire one after another.

The population of the entire galaxy was slaughtered and plundered, and the supplies were plundered. Because of the existence of the webway, the noble troops of the Dark Eldar can appear anywhere they want, and after looting the local area, rush to the imperial reinforcements before they arrive. Evacuate, go round and round.

And humans, today's humans don't have the technology to destroy the webway at all, so they have no defense against this series of raids by the Eldar, they can only be beaten passively, and pray that the "lucky planet" that was randomly selected is not where they are. of.

Vito also knew that he could not completely eradicate this looting threat once and for all, all he could do was to minimize its scope and extent, so Vito helped Victor, and he reached an agreement with the future dark lord , he helped Victor come to power, and the latter needed to control the scope of the remaining Dark Eldar's plundering of the empire, avoiding the kind of unscrupulous attacks before. ,

Yes, in other words, Vito chose to compromise. By sacrificing some people, he actively handed them over to the Dark Eldar for inevitable plunder, and then in exchange for the Dark Eldar not attacking more people. Me, save me, it was cruel, but it was the only way at the time.

"That's why, in today's Comoros, only you can restrain those guys. Although Malesi is also very cunning, smart and good at maneuvering, what she is good at is just manipulating everything in the shadows, and It doesn't stop those guys at all."

   "Might, power and decisiveness are the ways to rule the Comoros. No tactics can replace the absolute deterrence of power. Among them, only you can do it."

Vito said standing in front of Victor, he looked him straight in the eye, "I need someone who can continue to fulfill the agreement, M42K is just beginning, in this new millennium, I think I will need an ally, a ,friend."

   When Witt said the next two words, he deliberately listed them separately. He stretched out a hand, and Viktor, who was in front of him, also looked at that hand, and raised his eyes to meet Vitto.

"How is it? New millennium, do you want to join?" Vito said with a smile. Victor in front of him also showed that smile for the first time. It can be called a sincere smile. He stretched out a smile. A hand was held together with Vito.

   "Of course, my old friend, you watch over the humans, and I watch over the Eldar. We have been hand in hand for thousands of years, and this one, of course, is no exception."

The two smiled and held each other's hand, and Vito looked at Victor in front of him with a smile on his face, "How do you say that old saying? There are two brothers in the galaxy, one in the physical universe, and one in the webway. There's one too."

"Two races, Human and Eldar, two brothers, Human and Eldar." Victor took up the words, and they held each other's hands, looking at each other in the ancient stone circle, as if It is the same as what a real pair of twin brothers said. Humans and spirit races have gone through tens of thousands of years of civilization in calculating and dealing with each other, loving and killing each other, as if they are really a pair of twin brothers.
