Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 398

  Chapter 398 Expedition Road: Lord of the Sharks

   There are a lot of wreckage floating in the void of nothingness. They are the steel skeletons of damaged giant ships. The long keel and the split armor are suspended in the icy void, bathed in the temperatureless sunlight.

In this dark cosmic space, there are countless corpses of warships, large and small. Most of them have been damaged, and now there is only an empty skeleton floating in the vacuum. You can only judge it by its size. Apart from the previous level, nothing can be seen anymore.

The loyalists, mixed with the remains of the warships of the traitors, the two floating symbols approached each other and collided together, it was the sky eagle of the empire and the profane eight-pointed star of chaos, they circled each other and floated beside each other , as if performing another back-up dance.

But soon, the pair of dancers were separated, a huge shadow drove over from behind, and an extremely huge and tall object crashed between the two floating signs. The star was thrown to the sides, passing by the magnificent giant.

It was an incomparably huge and majestic giant ship, its length far surpassed all the wreckage of warships here, as well as those still existing in space, the entire remnant fleet of empires and space fighters was suspended on the edge of the ruins of the battlefield, All ships, whether mortals or Astartes, looked up at the gigantic astral ship from every corridor of the battleship, behind every floor-to-ceiling window.

The long giant battleship sailed out from among the wreckage of the battlefield. The towering golden eagle statue on its prow hung high above its head. It slowly sailed out from the surrounding wreckage. It crashed into other wreckage.

The majestic hull also emerged from the shadow covered by countless huge wreckages bit by bit. A beam of flickering light shot out from the back of the hull, piercing through the dark battlefield wreckage and bombarding a not yet completely shattered beam in the distance. On the Chaos Battleship, in the blink of an eye, the hull was pierced by the beam of light, and it was torn to one side, and the outer armor was shattered and spewed outward under the beam of light.

At the end of the light spear shooting, explosive flames erupted from under the torn armor, a huge fireball rose from the clouds of wreckage, and the projected flames shone on the side of the slowly passing giant ship. The entire side is illuminated by the fire of the treaty, and the multi-layered macro cannons lined up on one side are like claws shining coldly in the dark.

The majestic lance turret that emitted the destruction beam and instantly destroyed the bow of the Chaos battleship slowly turned its direction in the darkness, and it swept out three huge gun barrels from the dark side like a spear Like a sharp blade slashed out, it waved out from the shadows and pointed forward.

The cold light of the universe shone on the gun barrel, and soon the light covered the body of the turret, and began to extend to the rear. Its extremely huge body continued to move forward from the dark battlefield, It's like there's no end to it.

Three rows of macro cannons on the armor on both sides of the battleship slid out of the darkness, their thick barrels glowing under the starlight, and the follow-up spear turrets lined up neatly along the back of the ship, They also appeared in the field of vision as the starlight slid by, and they raised their long gun barrels to point directly at the starry sky, and the cold light shone on their thick gun bodies.

Countless exquisite sculptures, magnificent buildings and countless endless automatic turrets, turbo laser cannons and honeycomb missile launchers appear in the light of the universe with the roar of the hull, standing in the distance led by the fleet The first officer on the battleship looked up from the bridge at the majestic giant ship that was gradually approaching.

He looked at the top of the huge hull, but he could only see a ray of dim starlight projected from the top of the towering hull. It was so huge that the Vengeance-class battleship under his feet was small and humble compared to it, the first officer There is no doubt that this giant must be the largest warship in the entire galaxy.

The first officer looked at the countless flashing light spots on the backlit hull, and the giant ship came to the side of the battleship like a moving steel mountain. The first officer looked back along the huge hull, and saw the There is a propeller array as big as a cruiser, the main propeller is as large as a battle cruiser, and the surrounding auxiliary propellers are almost as large as a destroyer.

The flickering propeller pushed the end of the giant ship away from the battlefield, and sailed into a kind of Gothic fleet around it, as well as the shark battle group fleet. It towered majestically in the center of the fleet, and everything around it was suspended. Compared with it, the floating hulls are extremely small.

The huge ship stood outside the hanging window where the chief mate was standing. Looking up at the ship in front of him, he heard a heavy crash from the lower part of the hull behind him. It was the sound of two mechanical arms snapping together. .

   "Notify the admiral that they have docked with us." The first officer turned his head and said to Captain Niao Bu, who nodded slightly and clicked on the keyboard in front of him with the bent and raised mechanical arm behind him.

   "Admiral, they docked with us."

Captain Bird's voice came from the waist of the blue captain's coat. Spier took off the walkie-talkie hanging from the golden captain's belt, and put the walkie-talkie with the silver skull in front of him, aiming at the Opened the black intercom inside the skull's mouth, "Understood, stay vigilant."

   "Yes, my lord."

Speyer put down the walkie-talkie in his hand. He stood on the deck and looked at the tall circular iron gate not far away. There was a roaring sound coming from the other side of the gate. It was the interaction between the huge mechanical arm and the docking gear. The sound of yelling slowly drew the two warships slowly approaching amidst the roar.

Behind him, there is a whole row of naval crew and their officers. Members of the Imperial Navy in straight military uniforms stand behind Speyer, but it is not difficult to notice the weapons worn by each of them on their waists. The members of the army carried laser guns on their shoulders, while the political commissar officers standing at the forefront of the team in front of the flying flags wore fully armed bolt guns on their waists.

They surrounded Speyer like a blue wall, and on the other side of this blue wall was a real gray iron wall. It was a whole row of space marines, a whole company of devourers. The Shark Astartes stood on Speyer's other side.

Those Astartes who were silent and exuding a terrifying aura stood together with their bolt guns in their hands. They also wore chainsaw axes with terrifying incisions on their waists. The warriors in ancient MK3 power armor stood tall. Standing on the deck, the fluttering flags fluttered and danced behind them, making everything here seem to have traveled to the era of the Great Expedition.

Speyer turned his head slightly to glance at the silent Astartes. The prestige of their battle group has long been known far and wide. In fact, it is a terrible notoriety. It is rumored throughout the empire that in Paris a few centuries ago The frightening scene in the Dab War, hordes of space warriors holding chain axes, pounced on each planet like a school of sharks.

When the war fleet arrived, those planets were still alive, prosperous and prosperous, with a large population and a prosperous culture, and when the fleet left, there was only a ruined and useless planet left. Fragments of walls and broken bodies lay all over the city.

Shark sharks, these terrifying gods of death cruising on the edge of the astronomical spear, they have sworn to use the most terrible punishment, as well as the mountains and seas of blood of the traitors, to serve the traitors of the entire empire who harbored disloyalty to the emperor They set an example to make them think twice, and these fighters did, and not only the traitors, but even their own people trembled.

On the entire deck, all the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy deliberately stayed away from those silent sharks. The sailors at the very edge, the closest to the space fighters, didn't even dare to look up at him. He didn't dare to stare at the silence around him. Reaper, like, because he was afraid that when he looked, the shark would turn his head and look at him.

Of all the people, only Speyer dared to look at those silent Astartes, looking at the pair of MK3 helmets whose faces were invisible, he stared at the silent and cold helmeted faces, where Below, a shark on the chest armor was wagging its tail and opening its blood-stained teeth.

"That ship wiped out the rest of the Chaos fleet in just twenty minutes." The deep voice sounded from behind Speyer, and there was a burst of heavy footsteps along with that voice, The footsteps of that gigantic walk shook the deck.

  Speyer turned his head to look at the burly giant coming up beside him. He was wearing a dark Terminator armor, and the two pairs of gloves were the most eye-catching on the armor.

The iron fist on his right hand is lined with silent chainsaws. Spier knows that as long as the teeth of the chainsaw roar under the will of its master, it can instantly cut through all steel and armor, even if it is a space fighter. not excluded.

And then, the huge power glove on the left arm, and the lightning claw extending from between the fingers, can smash the flesh and blood under it, and under the raised claw and the jumping electric arc, it will A body dismantled and shredded, that iron fist and the people who shredded a lot, no matter before or after Badab.

Speyer looked at the lightning claws with dancing blue arcs, and he looked up at the man beside him, who was bigger and taller than any Space Marine, even the veterans of other chapters who usually wore terminators. The giant, that is the leader of these sharks behind him, among those terrifying gods of death, the most terrifying **** of death in the void, Tiberos Scarlet Blood Road.

Spire knew that it was not his surname, but a proper title, a title that most vividly described his way of warfare. When Tiberos walked across the ground holding those giant fists, there would only be There is a red road stained red with blood, the scarlet blood road, hence the name.

"If I remember correctly, Admiral, that ship is called the Emperor's Mirage." Tiberos spoke again, with a voice that seemed to come from the cold void, and the voice came from under the huge battle helmet , becoming more profound and dull.

He wears a helmet, like all the fighters behind him, but Speyer doesn't want to ask them to take off their helmets to show their respect. One is because the shark rarely deals with other members of the empire all the year round, and he doesn't care about those etiquettes at all. With the rules, no one can make them drag the helmet off unless they want to, and if you force them, no, you don't want to.

Second, and most importantly, Speyer doesn't want to see the face under the cold helmet, not at all, he has no interest in the face under the helmet of the space fighter that exudes a sense of death and horror, or Rather, an instinctive fear of life made him not want to see that face.

"Yes, Chapter Master, Emperor Mirage." Speyer stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, looking at the roaring docking hatch ahead, and Tiberos beside him was also staring in that direction, breathing heavily The sound was released from around the helmet, and the cold air was blown down on the back of Spyer's neck, making him shiver slightly.

"And if my memory is correct, that battleship is the ship of the Great Expedition Era, right? It is one of the earliest two expedition warships of Father Void, and he gave that ship to the Supreme Marshal himself as the expedition flagship, and Ultimately, that boat was destroyed in the mutiny."

   "Missing, my lord, it is missing. It disappeared during the solar system war. Afterwards, the Imperial Navy tried to find it, but nothing was found. It just disappeared."

"And it has come back now, after disappearing for a full 10,000 years, and at an appropriate time point, all of this is very suspicious." Tiberos said in a low voice, the chainsaw fist on his right arm The sleeve tightened slightly, and the sawtooth on the iron fist let out a deep roar.

Speyer glanced at the gently turning chainsaw teeth beside him. He raised his eyes and glanced calmly at the side of the battle commander's helmet. He was still looking directly at the direction of the gate, as if it was the only place worthy of He gazed at the same business.

"It has shown great power. The giant ship and the missing and returned crew members under it, although they helped us eliminate Chaos, we must remain vigilant. Thousands of years have passed, and no one can be sure. Whether their souls are still trustworthy."

The words of Tiberos not only sounded beside Speyer, but also passed into the ears of the sharks behind them. They all slowly clenched their weapons tightly, and there was a sound from the ancient battle armor, The mortal officers and soldiers on the side retreated a few steps to the side trembling.

   That was the sound of teeth colliding when the sharks opened their **** mouths slightly. Spier smelled a **** smell. He watched the soldiers frown slightly and looked at the chapter leader beside him.

"Chapter Commander, let me communicate with them, we are all members of the Imperial Navy, even if there is a difference of ten thousand years, I will understand them, but before, let your soldiers close their teeth, we cannot compatriots Kill each other, especially in these dark times."

"Compatriots may also become enemies, Admiral Speyer, you know this better than me." Tiberos said in a low voice, there was a joint crackling sound from the power glove in his hand, and he stared at the front It has changed from a locked red light to a trestle gate with a green light.

   "Do what you should do, I have my own judgment, and when I confirm their identities, I will make a decision."

  Either embrace, or let this place be sprinkled with blood, just like his name, Tiberos Scarlet Blood Road.

Speyer stared at the chapter leader beside him, he didn't say anything, firstly because there was nothing to say, these sharks wandering outside the empire would not listen at all, and secondly, because the gate had been opened up.

Speyer turned his head to look. He and the **** giant beside him looked at the direction of the gate with the green light on. The circular trestle gate stretched out from the top of the head. Under the operation of the machine, it turned and moved to the side, and the round gear gate, which was stunned, also rolled and shouted in the gear slot on the ground and rolled to the side.

The heavy door opened slowly, and a dazzling white light shone into the deck behind it. Speyer's eyes narrowed slightly in the strong light, and he quickly raised his eyes again and looked at the white light. waving flags.

The banner of the lightning eagle flying in the light, and below it, in the white light, a whole row of soldiers with unknown technology guns and wearing advanced mortal power armor are walking behind the banner, the flying banner Held by one of the mysterious soldiers who were fully armed and armed with guns, they came out of it in a tight formation.

Speyer looked at them, and quickly noticed the few people who were leading the advance in front of those phalanxes. Among them, two women in imperial navy uniforms quickly attracted Spier's attention. People always pay attention first Seeing something familiar to him, Speyer looked at them and found another familiar figure.

It was a tall giant, a golden giant dressed in Astartes power armor, he held a burning holy sword and walked out of the white light, and was surrounded by people around him and walked towards the deck. His golden lightning claws flashed continuously in the white light.

That power armor, Speyer looked at it in surprise, he had seen that armor countless times, in churches of the State Church, on the sacred statues in the battleship corridor, and on the towering dome murals of the bridge. Statues, everyone on this whole deck, not just mortals.

  Even those silent sharks took a step forward, and many of their fighters took off their helmets, staring at the approaching person with the black eyes on their deathly pale faces.

  Tiberos looked at the approaching golden giant, his clenched power gauntlet loosened all of a sudden, and the tall battle chief looked at the golden armor, "Father Void?"

"It's the Emperor." Speyer stood in the white light, and his face was also illuminated by the golden light in the pale light. He opened his eyes and looked directly at the source of the light. The picture in the white light The face is blurred and cannot be seen clearly, but the light shining behind the head can be seen.

  It was a golden halo shining like a blazing sun, and the shining halo surrounded the back of his head, just like all the scriptures and legends depict.
