Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 64

  Chapter 64 End Yan Era: Land of the Tomb

  The bright lighting searchlights swept across the dark coffins. There was no light refraction on the surface of the black stone. Green light bands streaked across the edge of its black outline, and strange flickering cables connected the coffins to the huge black wall behind them.

Bell looked at the coffins. The searchlight on his helmet moved with his field of vision. The black coffins were empty, and the "corpses" that had been in them had long since left. Yes, corpses, Bell completely Don't think Necrons are "living"

These creatures are even more advanced than the Mechanicus. Even their souls have disappeared in the steel body. You can't get any response when you talk to them, and their words are blurred and distorted, more like a violent data noise , or more like some kind of shrill scream.

  Bell walked vigilantly on the promenade with a bolt gun in his hand, his eyes scanning and vigilant around, and the muzzle of the bolt gun vigilantly aimed at every shadow and every coffin in every position.

The Astartes walked together, Lancelot and Ragnar walking on both sides of the procession with melee weapons in hand, and bolters or plasma pistols in the other hand, and they also watched vigilantly those who moved towards the top of the dome, It seems to be a sea of ​​coffins extending infinitely.

The black coffins are arranged in layers one by one. They climb and meander along the green light belt line. There is a strange green light flashing around each coffin. Those light belts extend towards the black corner of the position until they disappear completely. in view.

It is quiet here, which should have been a good thing, because it means that what Vito said is true, and they will not encounter any interception and resistance here, but this quietness is more like some kind of poison at this moment, turning into a cold dagger The poison that gradually approaches the heart.

   There was no sound in the dead space, and the footsteps of the Astartes were also deliberately suppressed, so as to avoid making loud noises and attracting the attention of possible enemies.

   Of course, what do you think? The power armor of the Astartes is huge and heavy, but this does not mean that they move like a Mercedes-Benz Leman Rustank. On the contrary, most Astartes armor is equipped with silent motors and transmissions. Connect the system and it can be almost completely silent.

  The best among them are the Raven Guard. They are like terrifying daggers in the darkness, appearing from every shadow to ruthlessly harvest the lives of the enemies.

It is rumored that even if only a few Raven Guards appear on the battlefield, it is enough to make any enemy feel fear and fear, even those traitors who escaped into the Eye of Terror. In this galaxy, there are few people who are not afraid Because of these terrifying existences hiding in every shadow, ready to harvest life at any time.

  But it is precisely because of the absolute silence that the Death Watchers can hear their own heartbeats, the pounding heartbeats echoed in their ears, and the strong beating sounds of the two strengthened hearts echoed like muffled thunder.

  Every beat of the heartbeat brought tension and fear, and the chill shrouded this dark corridor, shrouded in the surrounding coffins arranged upwards.

  Bell's eyes stared outside through the display glass, and his pupils kept zooming in and out as the light of the flashlight changed. His specialized eyes were spying on the darkness, on those black stones that had sucked away the light.

This promenade seems to be endless. They have walked here for a long time, so long that time seems to have disappeared under the siege of darkness, but Bell knows very well that on the time display buoy inside the helmet, everything It's only been four minutes.

   "I said, do we need to worry about Vito?" Ragnar's voice sounded in the communication frequency band. He said it on purpose, and everyone knew it, but it could indeed relieve the tense atmosphere.

Beside him, Lancelot was scanning a larger coffin with the searchlight on his helmet. The cables and pipes were randomly placed on the edge of the coffin. Obviously, the former passengers had left long ago, and all the undead Same.

"Him? Did he ever need us to worry?" Lancelot said with a joking smile. When he was a Ritter, didn't he also disappear in that ghostly place where everything eats meat and even plants want to bite you twice.”

Bell remembered that place. It was a planet at the border of the Limit Starfield. That place was not a colony planet of the Empire, but there was an Empire Knight World and Forge World nearby, so its strategic value was very high. Observation stations and military depots were set up above.

   So when another Tau Sky Expansion begins, the aliens have to take that planet, and they and the Imperial forces have to keep it.

"That **** place is the same as the home of the Catachans, but he still popped up out of nowhere, when we were fighting a group of Kroot and Tau battlesuit troops, Vito suddenly drove I don't know where one was robbed, let alone why he drove the Hammerhead Shark Tank.”

Ragnar laughed, and the chain saw ax in his hand shook slightly twice, "Yes, I still remember that he was driving a hammerhead shark and knocked the group of Tau people wearing big armor into the air. Then he fired around like a crazy person, and just relied on his momentum to scare away the group of noseless cowards."

  Everyone in the communication channel laughed, including Bell. He remembered the happy scene at that time.

Vito drove the hammerhead shark. In order to prevent Colonel "Iron Hands" Stricken, the leader of Catachan's second regiment, from thinking they were alien aliens, they also took some effort to paint the hammerhead shark on the surface. The sky eagle symbol of the empire, although Ragnar's painting skills can be called violent, but it is actually unnecessary.

After all, there are four Astartes standing on the hammerhead shark, and the four people can tell from a long distance that they are the Empire's own people, although in the end Vito did not explain why he drove the hammerhead shark and used Tau people weapons.

"Whoa, we beat those noseless blue idiots running around, their melee skills were hopeless, and seriously, they wore such cool armor, since they couldn't beat a guy who didn't even have a shirt on Catachan Jungle Warrior."

  Ragnar teased, "Only the Kroot can barely take a look, the rest of the blue skins, uh! Didn't they teach them how to fight in their best ways?"

Lancelot also smiled sarcastically, "Indeed, they are too weak. The four of us, together with the Catachan 2nd and 6th Astral Legion, could force the entire Tau invasion force to play on the ground. They had to go around and around, and finally Vito took us to the landing site and beheaded their commander."

Well, yes, Bell remembered the commander at that time. He and his men fought back hard, but they were all wiped out in the end. After that, Cole also rushed over with the imperial reinforcements assembled on the Knight Planet. The flanking attack wiped out the Tau invasion fleet, and the xenos survivors fled with their tails between their legs back to their sad homeland across Damocles Bay.

  Recalling these happy past events is indeed very useful. Several people walked out of the coffin corridor, and they walked out through a gap door extending to the towering dome.

  The Astartes scanned the wide hall vigilantly with their bolt guns. There was no one there, but there was an arch not far away, and behind the arch wrapped in black light was a long black bridge.

Several people nodded to each other and then walked up. They walked up the long bridge in a group. This is a deep well space. The vast cylindrical enclosed space is surrounded by deep well walls that extend upwards and downwards infinitely, flashing on those buildings. There are green light spots one by one.

In front of them, there is a huge sphere on the floating platform at the end of the long bridge. Countless steel rings surround the sphere with green lightning flashing. Inside the sphere is a powerful energy core, which is constantly flowing Changing posture continuously, as if it were an indeterminate gas.

Bell came to the ring, he looked at Olaf as if asking for advice, the old wolf walked up to the sphere, stared at it for a moment, then nodded affirmatively, "The energy is as powerful as the sun, here is the energy core of the phase converter, destroy it. ""clear."

Bell put the bolter aside, and he took a folded plasma disc bomb from his back. He opened the folded bomb layer by layer, and finally turned into an arc-shaped object larger than a manhole cover. .

  Bell tried to find a suitable blasting point, and several brothers stood behind him to watch the pharmacist work, but suddenly they heard a commotion.

  Everyone immediately turned around and raised their bolt guns to aim at the door. It was the head of an undead fell on the door, and the flashing green head immediately went out.

  Green decomposition beams flickered outside, Tesla arcs jumped and moved in the space, and two things appeared there, two red things.

The Astartes looked closely, and they saw clearly the two mechanical objects with disc-shaped heads and holding disintegrating folding knives. There is no doubt that they were the infiltrators of the Mechanic Cult. These silent assassins of the Mechanic Cult did not know when Entering the tomb, they are fighting fiercely with the death guards.

  Their speed is so flexible that they can move and move in the blink of an eye. The whirlwind-like blades slash and dance, and the disintegration of the stand kills the dead one by one to the ground.

  The undead soldiers around moved slowly. These soulless bodies collapsed to the ground under the lightning attack. The Mechanic Cult apparently sent infiltrators here, probably with the same purpose as them.

But just when several people thought that the infiltrator was about to win, one of the infiltrators stopped suddenly. His mechanical hand pulled out the melta gun and fired continuously, but the huge shadow appeared in front of him, and the Mechanic Assassin moved towards the A shot was fired from above the thing, but a razor-like iron foot answered him.

The iron foot pierced the Mechanicus Assassin's body, and then smashed his limbs with one foot. The other Assassin swung his disintegrating blade and rushed forward. With his nimble movements, he jumped up and slashed at the shadow's head. department.

  The Mechanicus Assassins disappeared for a moment, and then the Astartes heard the sound of machinery shattering, and that was not the voice of the Shadow Master.

  The master of the shadow appeared at the gate, with several razor-like legs under his huge physique, he strode through the gate with heavy steps, holding a disintegrating battle ax flashing with energy lightning in his hand.

  The green eyes stared at the few people on the long bridge, the huge mechanical creature raised the battle ax in one hand, and a mechanical twisted howl burst out.

   Lord Scorpion, the fearsome reaper of the Necrons.

   "I am." Ragnar said.
