Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 435

  Chapter 435 Expeditionary Road: Moment of Judgment

Governor Moventik still remembers what it used to be like. There used to be an incomparably magnificent cathedral, the Church of Salvation. That is how the locals called that resplendent temple. That magnificent building cost the entire planet a Five generations of talents completed the construction.

He remembered the cathedral's towering twin spires, its vast halls filled with pews, and the Emperor's icon of solid gold towering over its grand halls, where the past governors would bring their families every week Worship, although he himself lacked much in the belief of the emperor, but after all, he still had to do it.

But now, he doesn't have to repeat the ceremonial pretending to be a pious believer anymore, because there is no stage for him to perform, the magnificent cathedral has long since disappeared, and all the surrounding buildings have disappeared. Surrounding the governor is an extremely desolate land.

The bare rock was exposed, and the crimson surface raised dust under the wind and sand. The governor walked on this flat ground, followed by a group of dignitaries from Ivan 4, who were driven forward by the three Astartes behind them, The nobles kept looking back at the silent giants, who walked at the end of the line with their battle axes.

   There was no shoving, no yelling or whipping, the Astartes needing only to come was enough to propel them forward, like a shepherd dog driving a flock of sheep.

The governor glanced at the burly giant behind him holding the power axe. He was holding the ax and staring at him with scarlet eyes under the helmet. The governor swallowed, turned his head and bumped into something, and he took several steps back. He collided with the nobleman behind him.

Governor Moventik and the nobleman raised their heads to look at the burly figure in front of them. It was an incomparably tall Astartes. He stood in front of them wearing a winged battle helmet and a battle robe, silently overlooking them. .

The governor looked up at the Astartes in front of him and couldn't say a word, and he didn't even dare to take a breath. He glanced at the other angels of death beside the burly giant, wearing different armor colors and carrying all kinds of weapons. The Astartes of Arms stared at them, their blood-red warhelm eyes uttering nothing.

The governor exchanged glances with the nobles behind him. These nobles, who are usually domineering, have no aura at all now. They are like a group of prisoners who have been escorted over. They dare not be arrogant in front of the victors. out.

The governor contemplated for a long time before he plucked up the courage to speak, but just as he raised a finger, the Astartes in front of him got out of the way, and he abruptly took a step back to make way, following him and the The digital giants stepped aside, and a straight avenue appeared in front of the governor.

The governor looked at the passage leading to the huge ruins in the distance in front of him. Thousands of Astartes stood on both sides of the road. Those silent giants stood on both sides with weapons in their hands. A chilling atmosphere enveloped this huge square, and there was no sound at all around, as if even the vibration of the air was shocked by these giants.

Moventik looked at the road ahead and didn't dare to move forward. He took a step back under the pressure of the Astartes in front of him, and then bumped into the angel of death holding the power axe. He looked down at the The governor raised his battle ax and pointed it forward when the latter backed away in fright.

The other two death angels behind him also stepped forward. The tall giant approached the nobles, and their silent and extremely cold eyes frightened them to move forward. They didn't dare to stop and walked up the straight road. .

Moventik was driven to the front by the team, not because he was brave, but because the road was not wide, the nobles of the planet could only huddle together, and there was no gap between their teams for the governor to retreat. go down.

The road was separated by steel spears specially erected around it. Two rows of straight spears lined up towards the end of the road. On top of each spear was the head of a purebred gene stealer. The ugly and ferocious aliens can no longer show their teeth and claws. They are nailed to the spears, and their expressions are frozen at the moment of death.

Moventik left his head and spears on both sides. He and the nobles were squeezed between the two rows of spearheads. In fact, they could have spread out a little bit. There was no room behind the spears, but But no one dared to take a step beyond the boundary of the spear, because there were Astartes standing behind the spearhead.

The emperor's angels of death stood on both sides of the road, they stood together like a high steel wall, the soldier in the wolf fur cloak folded his arms and looked sideways at the passing pedestrians, and beside him, the head The warrior wearing the winged helmet held down the power sword on his waist. Although the sound of the palm colliding with the hilt was very small, it was particularly obvious in the chilling environment around him.

That frightened the governor immediately lowered his head, and so did the nobles of the planet behind him. They all lowered their heads and supported each other to move forward. No one dared to look at the angels of death on both sides, and they looked down at the passing in front of them. The person in the middle of the night cast a look full of coercion in silence.

The nobles had to support each other, so as to ensure that no one would fall down with weak legs before walking this road. They didn't want to offend these silent giants, and they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly because of this, even Some nobles didn't dare to breathe at all, their faces turned blue from holding back, but they didn't dare to exhale.

Beside him, a giant with blood-red eyes under the helmet held a bolt gun and stared at the back of his neck. The nobleman just raised his head and looked at him. He almost fainted from fright behind his eyes, and was able to escape with the help of others.

This road is not long, only a few hundred meters, but it seems to be a road that has no end at all. Moventik's heart is in his throat. This is definitely the longest road he has walked in his life The road is over, and under the watchful eyes of countless Astartes around, every step taken seems to be as long as a lifetime.

It took an unknown amount of time for Moventik and the nobles to reach the end of the road. They passed between the spears filled with gene stealer heads, and walked to the forest of spears under the silent gaze of the Astartes on both sides. end, where the last remains of the magnificent church.

The entire tall church is now only a part of the steel skeleton still standing, they are leaning together, surviving in the hot wind rolling in from the battlefield, but Moventik and the nobles behind him can't feel the heat of the wind at all. , All they felt was a cold, a biting cold.

Moventik could feel his back being stared at by the Astartes who had killed the entire planet by tens of millions. They were silent, but their eyes were on the back of the governor's neck like cold blades, and in front of him, the governor He also saw a scene that made him tremble with fear.

Behind the remains of the cathedral's steel support stood a Warlord Titan, its tall body blocked the sun and cast a dark shadow on the viceroy and nobles, the giant lowered its head and looked down on them, The mechanical eyes with blood-red light on the face of steel looked down on them.

The door was so big that Moventik didn't know how big it was for a moment, and the muzzle of the cannon was raised high. The sound of the wind blowing from above caused an echo in the muzzle. His eyes looked up at the entire nest covered by thick smoke, and The burly titan under the dim light, the giant wire feeling made them breathless.

And when the governor and the nobles of the planet saw the light under the Titan's feet, they almost knelt down immediately. Moventik widened his eyes and saw the golden giant standing in front of the ruins of the church. With a halo, behind it stood a circle of death angels.

Those Astartes in gorgeous battle armor stood behind him holding more sophisticated weapons than the angels below, standing silently behind the emperor like the Praetorian Guards, each pair of eyes stared at him without saying a word. The people in the audience vividly and delicately displayed the sense of oppression.

The golden giant came down, the power claws in his hand were crackling and walking towards the governor, looking up at the man's eyes, the governor's legs softened instantly and he knelt down, and all the nobles behind him also knelt on the ground, but their eyes But he didn't dare to move away and stared at the golden armored giant who came down.

   No need for introduction, the governor immediately recognized his identity, Moventik said in a trembling voice, "Marshal Vivito, very, very honored to meet you."

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, Governor, you are no longer qualified to talk to me. I only give you one choice, to hand over someone who can be responsible for all the casualties and losses in this war. You only have ten seconds to decide who will come." Take responsibility for alien infiltration."

  Vito said in an extremely cold tone, his eyes were also flickering with an extremely cold light, the governor looked at those eyes and was terrified, "My lord, I...I can explain it all! All this!"

"I don't care, eight seconds." Vito said indifferently, he stared down at the governor, the halo behind his head was like a cold sun with no temperature, Moventik looked back to prepare, but he saw the road behind him Already blocked by the angels of death on both sides, they walked onto the street and stopped them here silently.

"Six seconds, when I count to zero, you will die." Vito spoke again, his voice was like the coldest winter, all of Moventik's composure completely collapsed, and he fell back to the nobleman who was kneeling on the ground. They scanned, eyes bloodshot with terror.

Time was passing, and every second made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The nobles were also looking at each other, and then suddenly Moventik met the eyes of one of them, and he strode forward and pulled him away. He got up and pushed it in front of Vito.

The young nobleman stumbled to Vito, looked up at the giant in front of him, his legs became weak and trembled, and the governor behind him pointed at him and shouted loudly, "He is the adjutant of the Ministry of Justice! He is responsible for the genetic review, and he is the culprit of the rebellion!"

  Vito looked down at the young man in front of him, a sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he snorted softly, "Sure enough, it's as expected from the information."

These guys don't know that their every move, every waving movement, and every word they say is within Vito's expectations. They are like puppets on the stage, performing a drama that the director has already arranged. , Their small thoughts, there is no secret in front of Vito, he knows what they are thinking.

"Yes! That's right! He is not reliable at all. I have already said that this **** from the nest is a traitor! He is the one who helped those **** infiltrate the planet!" The real minister of the Ministry of Justice stood up, his eyes widened Staring at the young man in front of him with that fat face, he waved his hands wearing several rings.

Beside him, the Minister of Planetary Affairs who was eager to grow a hand to wear jewelry on his fingers also stood up, he pointed at the young man hysterically, the rings on his fingers kept colliding and trembling , "He is not our person at all! His blood is not pure, he is a lowly nester!"

Vito stared at the young man in front of him without saying a word. He almost knelt in front of Vito with weak legs. He looked up at the giant in front of him, "My lord, I am only responsible for the blame. The government of this planet Corruption has already been rampant, as long as bribery can avoid genetic identification, I can't control it at all."

"I know, my intelligence agent has already found out and told me, except for this young man who executes everyone." Vito raised his eyes coldly and said, the governor was surprised and looked around at the angels of death who came up behind him , the nobles all stood up screaming and huddled together.

   "My lord! I'm innocent! You can't do this!" The governor looked at Vito and wailed, while the latter just looked at him with indifferent eyes, "You are not innocent, because I said you are not innocent."

   "I am your judge and jury. Now, I declare you guilty, remove your governorship, and execute the death penalty." "You! You can't do this! My power is given by the emperor! I have no right to deprive you!"

The governor flew out of his head before he finished saying Duozi. The wild wolf behind him swung his power ax and chopped off his neck, and the remaining nobles of the planet screamed and were slaughtered in an instant. Huddled together, several people walked out from the angel of death behind them, they drew their weapons and surrounded them.

The noble officials of the planet were surrounded by them, and the angels of death who surrounded them raised their weapons at the same time. They were silent without saying a word, but they carried out the order without hesitation. Their weapons fell down in a blink of an eye. All the nobles who had been sentenced to death fell to the ground, blood splashed from the gaps between the giants, and the screams were fleeting, and at the same time, the blood splashed on the young deputy minister.

He looked at the governor lying on the ground, his body was torn apart, while Vito looked down at him and raised his head, "Now you are the governor, I will give you a day to reorganize the planetary government, twenty-four hours Afterwards, I will meet your cabinet in the planetary council, and the leader of Bell will review the person you choose, and if he approves, it will be feasible."

Vito said and Bell came down from the steps behind him. He stood beside Vito with a helmet inlaid with gold on his head, and his honor guards followed behind his shoulders in red robes. Behind him, silently defended the marshal, emphasizing his majesty.

   "This planet has been corrupted, I want you to help us clean up this planet, no one can escape the judgment." "I obey, Marshal."

Vito raised his head and looked at the sunset at the side, the sun was setting from the ruins of the high-rise buildings in the hive capital, "Twenty-four hours, time is precious, so get up and go to execute my order, tomorrow, I will check the order myself Finish the situation, don't let me down."

As Vito said, he turned and walked towards the stairs, towards the group of guards standing there, Bell behind him turned his head to look at Vito's back, "The governor's family? I don't think they will be so easy Give up power."

   "Execute them, and all the old officials on this planet."

   "As you wish, Marshal."
