Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 429

  Chapter 429 Age of Legion: Remains of the Past

The snow-white battle armor walked in the corridor of the battleship, and the lights above the head shone on the armor like a piece of first snow. The pedestrians in the corridor gave way to both sides without exception, regardless of their status and military rank, even those who were tall and tall. The Astartes stood on either side to make way for the approachers.

The bright Eye of Terra gem is shining under the light. On its orange eyes, the obsidian pupils are shining brightly. Terra's eyes are branded on his shoulder armor and chest at the same time. You can also use the same symbol on the See it in those shameful Black Legion traitors.

But this one, no, he is not a traitor, on the contrary, he is a respected warrior, surrounded by the roaring silver wolf under the Eye of Terra, so respected that all along the way Several company commanders took the initiative to step aside with their soldiers and stood at attention to salute.

The snow-white warrior nodded to them with his head with short blond hair. He strode towards the door at the end of the corridor. When he arrived, he slowly raised his head beside the machine servant embedded in the wall. He used His head covered by the metal cover looked at the snow-white battle armor, and after a little silence, a scanning eyeball popped up from the wall beside him.

  The light swept down from the soldier's head, and the servitor spoke in a stiff voice in the dancing light, "Commander Garviel Loken, to verify." "Open the door, Servant."

After a ticking sound, the door in front of Loken quickly opened, and he strode into the bright deck behind the door. Countless high-brightness lights illuminated the entire deck. Loken strode into it, and from there Passed by the side of the deck.

Thunderhawk gunships and heavy transports were parked beside him, sparks pouring from the welds around them, and after fighters and fighters, from the huge cabin of a Rhino personnel carrier larger than mortal models After driving down, he rolled down the engine room with a bang, and the tracks rubbed against the ground and drove to the open space aside.

A large number of armored vehicles were parked there long ago. The armored vehicles of the mortal auxiliary army and the space fighters were docked together. Compared with the latter, the armored vehicles of mortals seemed so small, like children Playful matchboxes, but there are also huge things in them.

Surrounded by those armored units, an Emperor Poison Blade stands proudly among the armor. It is extremely tall, as one of the largest war beasts ever built by humans, and its towering turret stands like a majestic mountain. , the magnificent cannon pointed from above the deck like a sharp blade.

The Emperor's Baneblade is often extremely expensive, and it takes an entire foundry for a whole year, or even longer, to manufacture. Its huge size accommodates a complete set of fire control weapons and power systems, and even carries battlefield survival equipment. The device, and the machine soul inside it, have been carefully regulated to ensure that the chamber will not blow up when you fire the gun, or the engine will stop when you need to maneuver.

Loken looked at the huge vehicle. His crew members were busy overhauling it. With the assistance of the machine servants, they were dealing with the damaged parts left in the previous battles. Welding sparks and flames from the nozzles of the spray guns continued. It lit up on the steel object, but generally speaking, the damage was not much. The giant relied on its strong defense to withstand almost all the artillery fire.

Of course, such an expensive and rare beast of war was not originally owned by the warband, but it was one of the gifts sent by Belisariu Kaur when they set off. He sent a whole can Equipped with the equipment of an imperial armored division, among the endless armored vehicles and tanks, this behemoth was also sent.

It stood out then, and it still stands out now, you can ignore all the armored vehicles around, but you can't ignore it, it's almost a different kind of titan, believe me, when you first When you see it, you must think it is a prostrate titan.

   When the Magi sent it, he blessed Eisenstein and Loken to use him to deal a blow to the Om-Messiah and the Enemies of the Emperor, which they did.

Loken still remembers how it roared on the battlefield. This Emperor Shiv served as the spearhead of the attack in the previous battle. With its own power, it crushed the torrent of Iron Warrior's armor to pieces, blasting it with endless firepower. Through the wall of the fortress, Loken was able to lead the assault company to rush into it, behead the enemy leader, defeat the remaining traitors, and control the entire fortress and the world.

But Loken's memories were quickly interrupted. A voice came from behind Loken. It was an Astartes monk, no, it shouldn't be called that, Primaris warriors did not regard themselves as faith Defenders of the Emperor, but weapons and warriors of the Emperor.

Just like Loken back then, he misses many things here very much. They are memory things that he has never seen since he woke up, everything from the era of the Great Crusade, but there are also some things that make him feel strange, Such as this title.

"Commander Loken, we have something to report to you." "My rank is company commander, just like you, so you don't need to call me that." Loken turned to face the approaching Fist of Dorn with a slightly wry smile. The company commander, he wears a horizontal centurion cockscomb helmet, followed by several squad leaders of the company under his command.

"But according to the commander's order, my lord, you are the supreme commander of the whole regiment when he is not on the scene, and this order must be carried out." The company commander said seriously, standing in front of Loken with no expression on his face, At first glance, he looked like a standard son of Dorn.

Loken smiled wryly and sighed, and a small captain behind the company commander said, "Besides, sir, you were the one who led us to break through the enemy's line of defense and crush their resistance. The glory belongs to the Fist of Dorn." , the glory belongs to you, you have earned the respect of all of us these two years."

   "Glory belongs to all brothers. It would not have been possible without your tenacious fighting. I just issued a simple order at the right time. You are the ones who won."

"Your approval makes us extremely honored, Commander, we are terrified to be recognized by a veteran of ten thousand years." The company commander bowed his head respectfully, and the squad leaders behind him did the same. Loken in front of them suddenly smiled wryly.

He stood on the deck, listening to the jingling sound of the maintenance area, Loken looked up at a servo skull flying past, with an injector tank hanging under it, and the skull flew towards a machine in the distance The priest inserted the jar into the mechanical arm on his back.

  Father buried his head and continued to work, the welding sparks were extremely bright, and the jumping light lit up the battle group logo on the side of the Thunderhawk in front of him, a golden iron fist surrounded by an iron ring.

"Is there anything you want from me? Company Commander." "Commander Loken, I have sent the post-war casualty list of each company according to the order. Please have a look." The company commander took out the data panel from his arms, He handed it to Loken, who took it and stared at the data panel.

   "You should hand it directly to the chapter leader, not me. I am just your temporary commander. The battle is over, my duties are over, and I have no authority to deal with the contents of this document."

   "No, sir, the order I heard at the time was very clear. The Chapter Master appointed you as the acting commander and has the same powers as the Chapter Master. I have not been notified of any deadline, so it is still valid now."

The company commander faithfully fulfilled the strictness of the orders of the sons of Dorne, and every word was not bad. Loken looked at the company commander in front of him and was a little silent. He glanced at the data panel in his hand and held it. in hand.

"Okay, I will bring it to Captain Eisenstein. In addition, record the equipment you need to repair and supplement, and count the required supplementary casualties of the star border army affiliated to the battle group, and then submit it to the The command layer will coordinate and supplement at the port."

"Of order, sir, I will complete the statistics and deliver them to you as soon as possible. You are busy with business, so we will not bother you, for the sake of Dorne and the Emperor." After saying that, the company commander put his iron fist on his chest, and he straightened his body towards Loken saluted, and the several team leaders behind him also saluted with him.

   Loken also saluted them after a wry smile, he almost blurted out the words, "For the sake of the Warmaster and the Emperor."

He stopped immediately, realizing what he had said. The Fist of Dorn in front of him looked at each other, and then kept quiet under the angry eyes of his company commander, who immediately bowed and retreated, leading his troops The squad leaders left, and he didn't embarrass Loken.

Loken stood on the spot and watched them leave. He seemed to regard them as comrades-in-arms of the tenth company of the Luna Wolf, even though he knew that they had all returned to the throne in Isstvan Loken. As I said before, everything here, the soldiers and the surrounding atmosphere made him seem to have returned to the past.

Loken sighed for a long time, then turned around and walked towards the exit of the deck. From there, he entered the corridor of the battleship to the position of the bridge. He knew that Eisenstein was there at the moment, and he was also the temporary commander he appointed himself as. official.

At first Loken wanted to reject him, those soldiers said he was a ten thousand year veteran, but that was wrong, he was not a ten thousand year veteran, he just slept for ten thousand years, he missed the battle of defending Terra, after missing Everything, he didn't stop Horus from wounding the Emperor, he didn't stop the rebellion.

But now, even everything about the legion in his mind has become unspeakable. It is the memory of the traitors, and it is the name of the traitors who are now rebellious. The once glorious Shadow Moon Wolf has long since ceased to exist. , only the shameful symbol of the traitor was left on the snow-white silver armor, the battle armor on his body.

He originally wanted to reject Eisenstein. He was just the last remnant of past memories, a last fragment that was forgotten and could not be recalled. He was not qualified to lead the current imperial warriors, but Eisenstein rejected it. On this point, he directly appointed Loken without any hesitation.

Loken had no chance to refuse, he was forced to accept the appointment, and led the fighters of the Fist of Dorn onto the battlefield. At first, he thought that he had long forgotten how to command the battle, and everything had become a thing of the past Memories, but he was wrong, when he led his company on the battlefield and launched an attack under the cover of the rumbling armor group, all those memories came back.

As if it was an instinct, all the experience of being the commander of the tenth company and a member of the Council of Four Kings was automatically injected into his body. He led the soldiers to victory, but that did not make Loken happy. Amidst the cheers of the soldiers around him, he only felt lonely.

  Because he clearly knew that when the fuzzy veil of memory finally dissipated with the final artillery fire, he saw them, they were wearing gold armor instead of silver and white armor, and he was still the last Shadow Moon Blue Wolf.

Loken walked past the flagship of the battle group "Eternal Serenity" under his feet. He walked through the now empty and wide corridor, and soon this place will be filled with glorious banners. The battle group will win countless glory and win countless victories, and the surrounding Empty spaces can also be filled with triumphal mementos.

  He walked through the corridor alone, and walked through this busy area. The Imperial Navy officers and members of the battle group along the way saluted Loken after seeing him, and kept greeting his name.

Looking at them, Loken sighed softly, memories of the past emerged in his memory, the corridor of the Vengeful Spirit seemed to merge with the surrounding scene, and the surrounding soldiers became themselves again. Familiar faces, for a moment Loken thought he was back among his brothers, but in the end he knew that he would never go back.

Loken passed the inner part of the battleship, and he stepped into the bridge command room of the battleship. He strode up to a burly soldier behind the high platform handrail, "Torgaden, this is the post-war statistics. ,you"

"Loken?" the voice asked, Loken turned his head and glanced at the warrior beside him, he was wearing gold armor instead of silver armor, Loken froze for a moment, then raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Sorry, Eisenstein, I made a mistake, this is the casualties of the battle group, let's take a look."

"Have you seen it?" "I have, but you" "Then I don't have to, Loken." "Eisenstein, you are their Chapter Master, I'm just." "You It's my brother, my friend, so since you've seen it, I don't have to."

  Eisenstein stood aside, he pressed Loken's shoulder, "You are still the commander, Loken, since you have understood the situation, then just go ahead and do the next thing, I believe you."

"Eisenstein, I am not a son of Dorne, I am not even." "You are my brother, our brother, and this is your home, and I would gladly keep you in command if you wish, Lead the warband with me."

   "I believe Bell and the others will do the same, you are not alone, Loken, we are all by your side, you can rely on us."

   Loken was silent for a moment, he stroked the Eye of Terra on his chest, stared at the snow-white armor, "I don't want to replace it, I have to shoulder the mission it carries, Eisenstein, I'm sorry."

Eisenstein shook his head lightly, "You don't need to change it, you are always the Luna Wolf, this will never change, but I hope you can understand, Loken, you are not alone in this era, You still have friends and brothers."

   "I know, thank you, Eisenstein." "Brothers don't need to say thank you, please put away that panel, and you will need to follow that list to replenish supplies later."

Loken smiled and held the panel in the palm of his hand. He sighed long and glanced at the other Fist of Dorn beside him. In an instant, a piece of white armor flashed in front of him again, as well as He The Eye of Terra gem on Russ.

But suddenly, an alarm interrupted Loken's thoughts, and the captain turned from under the bridge where he and Eisenstein were, raised his head and shouted upwards, "We have reached the solar system, Chapter Long, the navigator has seen the light of Terra."

   "Send an identification signal to the Imperial fleet near Mandeville Point, informing them who we are, ordering all ships to disable their weapon systems."

"Follow the Chapter Commander, and it will be executed." The captain said and walked towards Captain Bird at the side. When he gave Eisenstein's order, Loken above stood with Eisenstein and looked at the reappearance. The starry sky outside the bridge window opened again through the closed window through the subspace, and the brilliance of the sun also shone into the bridge.

The Eternal Serenity jumped into the solar system. It jumped in from the position of Mandeville Point, and jumped into the entire battle group fleet behind it. More than a dozen warships jumped out from behind the portal at the same time. It was a magnificent sight. scene.

But compared with the golden planet in the distance of the battleship ahead, all this is not so magnificent. Loken and Eisenstein stand side by side and stare at the distant Terra, which is the imperial navy cruising around the Mandeville point. After the fleet, stand side by side with Mars and the moon in the galaxy.

   "I don't know what's going on on Terra. If everything goes well with Olaf, all the remaining traitors in the outer reaches of the solar system will have been wiped out. I don't know what mission Guilliman still has waiting for us."

Loken spoke next to Eisenstein, but just after he finished speaking, a message came from the captain below, "My lords, we have received a message from Terra directly from the radio signal, there is no need to The decryption is very clear."

   "What is it?"

   "There is only one sentence, "The Marshal has returned""
