Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 455

  Chapter 455 Rebirth from the Ashes:

  Sorry, I was suddenly pulled away this afternoon due to a temporary incident, and the second watch has been delayed until now, please forgive me.

  ———(The main part begins)—————

Bell looked at the data pad in his hand. Words and pictures scrolled on the oversized tablet specially made for the Astartes. Those were the briefings of the battle. Upholding the excellent tradition of the Ultramarines, Bell always tried his best before the battle started. Accurately understand and master any intelligence on the battlefield.

Just as their gene father, Robert Guilliman said, an excellent commander should anticipate any possible actions of the enemy, various changes on the battlefield and countermeasures as much as possible before going to war, so as to This is the fastest, most efficient and least lossy way to win the war.

But obviously, not everyone had the same idea as Bell. He raised his head and crossed the steps below to look at Ragnar and Lancelot. Arm wrestling, obviously, they have waited impatiently to decide the outcome.

The Space Wolves and the Dark Angels decided to compete in the interval before the start of the meeting. They held each other's hands and pressed each other down hard. Both of them had smiles on their faces, looking awkward and awkward. Funny, but it didn't dampen their interest in the slightest.

They called Olaf as the referee, and the old wolf sat on the upper seat next to the table, and surrounded by the table were representatives of the Star Militia Army, the Navy, and the Ministry of Justice who passed the time. Betting around the table on who will win, and pushing the stakes higher, also echoes the cries of their bettors.

Bell looked at them and then turned to the other end of the stairs. Eisenstein and Loken were talking to each other not far away, and around them were many equally serious army and navy officers who did not intend to indulge themselves before the big battle. They are all sitting on the long steps, talking to each other about information.

And behind Bell, on the higher steps was a sea of ​​red, literally a sea of ​​red, because the position there was filled with the clergy of the state religion, who sat around the statue of the emperor at the top of the steps, The red robes on his body were connected into one piece, and joined together with the representatives of the adjacent Mechanicus, forming a red sea covering most of the conference hall.

But it's not all red, there are also gray power armor and silver-white hair moving in it. The battle nun holding a rosary walked into the hall, and the headed elder sister was followed by many sisters of the order. All were tall and well-fitted in power armor.

  The armor is in stark contrast to that of the space warriors. It is slimmer and slender, with the waist and legs as thin as possible, fitting the curved curves of their bodies, making them look more appreciative.

A big nun wearing a white silk scarf strides in. She is not beautiful. There is a striking scar on her right eye, and there are burn marks on her side face from the lower jaw, which makes her very intimidating. .

But not all of them are such terrifying members of the nuns, some are younger and more beautiful, they conform to the imagination of the emperor's daughters in the empire, strong, beautiful and gentle, and they are not going to use flamethrowers to give you It's like this before feeling the warmth.

  Bell looked down, and the head nun came to the end of the stairs. She nodded to Captain Cole who was sitting on the side, and the latter also put down the tablet in his hand and politely returned the salute.

Bell wondered at first whether Anna would have something to say about it, but obviously he was overthinking it. Instead of getting angry, Anna smiled and nodded to the head nun, and then chatted with the young nuns following her. In order to say hello, they obviously have a good relationship, and the young sisters all smiled and waved to her.

The nuns walked past them. Anna sat with her side legs beside Cole. She turned her head and saw Bell and greeted him. The latter nodded to Anna with a friendly smile, but suddenly there was a knock on the ground. The knocking sound interrupted the next greeting.

Anna turned her head to look to the side of the conference hall, and Bell also looked up. On the side of the rostrum under the arc-shaped conference hall, guards of honor holding golden long staffs walked in from the gate. They wore Wearing a gorgeous breastplate, its chest is branded with the symbol of the imperial sky eagle's wings.

They walked into the hall with guns in hand, and the iron inlaid heels of their military boots slammed on the ground continuously. Opened each other's hands and looked at the guard of honor that lined up in front of the rostrum.

The feathers on the helmets on their heads floated under the steps, and they walked in a line along the steps, and everyone who was still chatting around quickly returned to their positions, Ragnar and Lancelot stood up and turned over the table together, and sat down next to Cole.

  The impact of the two Astartes sitting together made Cole shudder, the bench creaked and almost fell apart, and the data pad in his hand almost fell to the ground.

But he didn't have time to reprimand the two for vandalism, he was interrupted by a neat sound of falling rifles, and all the gorgeous guards of honor in front of the rostrum stopped, they stood at attention and turned to the direction of the stairs neatly, The Seiko laser in his hand fell to the ground and made a neat crashing sound.

It sounded like a church bell, instantly interrupting the hustle and bustle of the hall just now, the towering stairs and the upper corridor seats were all quiet, and the representatives of the entire expeditionary force stared down with bated breath. , looking at the person who walked in from the podium.

The gorgeous golden power armor he was wearing was shining under the light. He walked in from the gate, and the female judge in a black trench coat followed him. After leaving the rostrum, under the watchful eyes of Bell and everyone, he walked to the podium in the center of the rostrum.

  He stood there with his hands behind his back and looked at the fully-filled ladder seats in front of him. He raised his head and looked up at the corridor seats above. There were also people standing there, and everyone looked at him in silence.

"Hello, everyone. I'm glad that everyone arrived so quickly. I guess you all know the reason for coming here, right? Ragnar." He looked at the front row of stairs on the podium, Ragnar Sitting there showing a mouthful of fangs and laughing.

"Of course, the planet in front of us is on fire, and it's still not clear. Let's go down and put out the fire, Marshal." He poked Lancelot beside him with his elbow, "Does the Son of Fenris know how Playing with fire, and these guys just sit in their monastery and chant endlessly."

As soon as Ragnar said this, before Lancelot could react, the head nun on the seat next to him frowned first, and the nuns around her all cast frowning glances. , obviously, they have some different opinions on this.

Ragnar looked at them with a toothy smile, and blinked flirtatiously at them, and then the nuns sitting beside them rolled their eyes and turned their heads, but the young wolf lord obviously didn't care at all, he smiled and hugged Lancelot who stayed on the side looked towards Vito on the stage.

Vito looked at him and smiled, and then looked up at the people below, "As you can see, the war is raging in Vlasov in front of us, where the archbishop who was once loyal to the emperor violated the empire's rules because of greed. He led his traitors on the planet against the order agents of the Empire."

"The warriors of Krieg's death army are on the surface of the planet, representing the emperor to implement the order of the empire, and make the rebels pay the price. I have heard from Inquisitor Hossenst that the fearless Sons of Krieger have breached the outer defenses of the fortress and are approaching the inner walls."

Vito was walking on the rostrum. He walked on the high platform and continued to stare at the audience. Lilith stood behind him with her hands behind her back and said nothing. Only Vito continued to say, "The rebellious bishop has fallen even further. In order to protect himself, he dedicated the whole world to the Chaos God, and he betrayed the light of the emperor by inviting rebel space fighters, chaos demons and destruction to descend on the planet."

  Vito's words immediately aroused the indignation of the clergy of the state religion above. They stood up and raised their rosary beads and Holy Words and shouted, "Heretical! The will of the emperor must be carried out! Punish them!"

  The younger sisters of the Battle Sisters also stood up, clad in power armor, full of rage and eagerness to unleash the wrath of the God-Emperor on these shameless traitors at once, purifying the planet with flamethrower fire.

But Vito raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and the hall fell silent again under the giant claws of the emperor's own golden armor. He looked around and stood on the high platform with his head raised, "We will punish the traitors, let They paid the price they deserved, but this is not the end of everything, but just the beginning, and this is not just about Vlasov's loyalty, but is closely related to the life and death of the entire empire."

After Vito finished speaking, he nodded back, and Lilith immediately walked to the podium and pressed a button, and immediately beside Vito, a holographic star map of the star field was projected, with galaxy rivers and brilliant stars criss-crossing it. The dense starlight is intertwined, and many name scales emerge from it.

The Vlasov star hangs high in the center of the map, surrounded by satellites and stars in the galaxy, but as Vito stretched his finger and pulled it back, the entire star map quickly switched to the size of the Milky Way, the splendid Milky Way floating on the rostrum, and the huge gap across the galaxy on one side also immediately attracted Bell's attention.

The learned son of Guilliman recognized the thing immediately, and the astropaths around him screamed immediately, their faces were bandaged, and their blind eyes seemed to see the thing, and everyone uttered horror screamed, and Bell stood up with the data plate in his hand.

He stood on the steps and looked at the star map and frowned. Cole below also straightened up and stood up. He also recognized the gap almost immediately. He was very familiar with that thing. All naval officers It couldn't be clearer.

"The Eye of Terror appeared on the east side of the Milky Way?" Bell asked in surprise, but it was not Vito who answered him, but Cole below. The north looks and sees the real crack, where it is, as it has been every moment for millions of years.

"No, that's not the Eye of Terror, but a new big rift in subspace!" Cole's words immediately elicited exclamations. Eisenstein and Loken beside him frowned and looked at each other. The elders also began to discuss in whispers, while the state church clergy became hysterical.

"God's punishment! The emperor is punishing us!" Someone raised the holy book in his hand and shouted hysterically. The halls were engulfed in chaos and fear.

The priests of the Mechanicus looked at each other, and they communicated in a binary language that ordinary people could not understand, while the nuns below looked at each other, and someone approached the chief nun holding the little statue of the emperor, "Sister major, we must Unleash the Emperor's wrath at once! His will must be done, the day of judgment has come"

"Enough!" Vito roared, his voice was like thunder roaring, and like lightning jumping in a storm, he instantly calmed down everyone present, suppressing all present with his own voice confusion.

Everyone looked at Vito, who stood beside the star map of the big rift and raised his head, "This is the purpose of Abaddon! He and the power of destruction created this rift and nourished it with fear and despair , from which it will grow, expand, and devour all the worlds along its path, until it connects with the Eye of Terror and tears the entire galaxy apart."

Vito walked on the rostrum, his eyes looked at the people on the steps, and the power claw in his hand was raised to sweep them, "Your fear is exactly what the evil **** wants, the more people look at the gap and fall into In the panic of despair, more emotional nutrients that the evil gods rely on for survival will be sucked into the gap, and it will continue to expand! Until it cannot be stopped."

Vito stopped, he was standing on it wearing a tall golden battle armor, golden lightning jumped out of his body as he spoke, the priests fell silent, they stood on the steps and looked at the tall giant in front of everyone , he stood on the rostrum, pointing his finger at the hologram of the Milky Way behind him.

"I shouldn't have told you this truth, because your fears would be in the hands of the evil gods, but I told you anyway, because I believed in you, the emperor found me in person last night, and conveyed the news to me, he Let me tell you!"

  When they heard the name of the emperor, all the battle nuns who were closest to the rostrum looked up. They held the pendants of faith on their chests and the necklace of the emperor's idol tightly, and looked up with incomparably reverent and excited eyes.

Vito looked at them, looked at each other with the chief nun who stood up among them, then nodded affirmatively and looked at the rest of the steps, "Yes, the emperor asked me to tell you the truth because he believes in you , he believes that the proud sons of the Empire, the Men, will not succumb to the fear of Chaos."

"We will fight! I will be here with you, defeat Chaos in Vlasov, drive them out of this star field, let the light of hope shine on all the worlds around, and all people in all worlds will know, We haven't lost yet, and the Empire's counterattack has just begun."

Vito spoke in a passionate voice, and his words seemed to reveal an irresistible passion. Cole felt a fire burning in his heart, dispelling all the hopeless cold, and the fire brought Come strength, a flame called hope.

Anna beside him also stood up, Ragnar and Lancelot on her side also stood up, followed by Olaf and more people on the steps behind him, they all stood up under the flame trend in their hearts, Looking at the source of the fire on the rostrum, it is beneficial to the man on it.

"The news of Vlasov's victory will spread like wildfire across the galaxy, and a fire called hope will burn in the hearts of all Imperials, and they will understand that the Emperor's Light has never been extinguished! Hope will replace fear, and it will rage Burn until the sparks start a prairie fire! The evil gods and their lackeys will not get despair from humans, what they get will only be bombs and shells fired in the name of the emperor!"

  Vitor raised his iron fist aloft, and he stood there in the Emperor's armor, and Cole looked at him as if the Emperor himself was standing there speaking to them.

  "The fire of hope will be rekindled, and you are the ones who ignited it! Now, everyone returns to you and I demolished the illegal building! Start with Vlasov! Do you understand?"

  Vito shouted loudly, but no one responded to him for a while, and everyone stood still and looked at him, "Do you understand?!" "Understood!"

   This time they gave him a roar, and the whole hall was filled with passionate roars, fear was completely dispelled, and the fire of hope burned in everyone's chest, giving them the strength and courage to release that angry cry.

   "Then return to your posts, in the name of the Emperor!"

"All Father! Listen to me!" Ragnar roared, spreading his arms. He turned and took the lead in striding towards the exit. Lancelot beside him also nodded sharply at Vito and followed closely with his sword. And then, the entire hall was filled with footsteps, footsteps in power armor and those without armor made a mess.

Everyone walked to the surrounding exits to convey the order of the empire to counterattack. Cole walked up to the rostrum with the crowd. He looked up at Vito above. After the two looked at each other, the captain turned and walked Beside the gate, from now on, the Empire Strikes Back officially begins.

After watching Cole leave, Vito turned around and walked in front of Lilith. The latter spread her palm, and the holographic communicator in it quickly lit up, and a holographic image appeared in front of Vito. It was the two of them. bust.

Vito first looked at the man in black on the left. He had short black hair and was wearing a breastplate under the windbreaker that was open in the middle, "Judge Hosenst, lead all the storms you can find The commando will attack the star port and control the land airport within three hours, where will my transport aircraft formation land."

"Of order, Lord Marshal." Hosenst nodded to Vito, and then he raised his hand to the other person beside him. He stood there silently, only the sound of deep breathing did not come from the filter. "My lord, please allow me to introduce you. This is Marshal Bart of the Death Army Expeditionary Force."

  Vito nodded slightly, then glanced at the silent man wearing a gas mask, "Grand Marshal, I ordered Krieger's death army to advance under the city wall before tomorrow morning, can it be done?"

   "My lord, there is a vast open land in front of the city wall. If you attack directly, it will cause serious casualties..."

   “Guaranteed to complete the task.”

   Before Hossenster could finish talking about Krieger's marshal, he gave Vito a reply without any hesitation. His invisible face under the gas mask did not hesitate at all for the order of death.

   "Krieger Death Corps, will complete the mission for the Emperor."
