Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 650

  Chapter 650 Doomsday Storm: Winds of War

The command hall of Hera Fortress, this is a place with a long history and illustrious military exploits. If it is said that the war machine of the Empire is a beast, the Astartes are its fangs, and the Star Guards are its strong limbs, then Here, is its brain.

For thousands of years, the countless battles of the Ultramarines have made decisions here, going out, assigning companies, rebuilding or renewing. Its vast and glorious halls carry too much history. When the fortress was erected, Here was the first to be born, as old as the great Ultramarine statue at the door.

The real Ultramarines are also guarded here. They come from the 3rd Company, and they wear the cloak embroidered with the Roman numeral III on their shoulders. Condition.

They are also gendarmes, and most of the recruits' instructors, young people in the lower hall of the fortress, whenever they see them, they will hide on both sides in awe, never dare to block their way, and if they meet them, they will only kneel down Kneel to show respect and obedience, and wait for the instructions brought by the veterans.

   Today, it was the turn of these veterans to kneel on one knee. The Astartes veterans holding the gate of the war hall slid their bolt guns to their armpits on both sides, and then knelt on one knee, bowing their heads in salute.

The tall giant walked between them, staring ahead, never stopping for a moment of doubt. Behind him, Mikael, who was holding a helmet, followed closely. The company commander looked to the side of the gate, deeply embedded Servant in the wall, "Open the door."

The servant rattled and raised its head, its eyes flickered twice, then a hoarse voice sounded from the brass horn at its throat, "Master Guilliman has arrived, I salute you, the Regent of the Empire and Maku Lord of Rag."

As soon as the servitor finished speaking, the heavy door on the side opened slowly. The statue of the Sphinx carved on its door panel and the statue of the Goddess of Wisdom Macragge sitting on its back were slowly pushed open to both sides. The spear held by the goddess gradually moved backwards, sliding into the sunlight from the balcony.

  The Astartes in the hall looked towards the gate one after another, and then they all knelt on one knee. The Calgar Chapter Leader stood at the head of the team, wearing Terminator armor and knelt on one knee, "Master Primarch."

"Hello, Calgar, get up. We are all our own people here. In private, I hope that we are not only courtiers, but also friends." Guilliman smiled and raised his hand to everyone. His voice was like a horse. The sun in Kurag at this time is generally warm.

"Thanks, my lord, it is my honor." Calgar stood up, and the vicissitudes of the white hair of the Chapter Master swayed in his ears. It was hard to see that he was not the oldest person present, Ashtar Astartes are not immune to aging, but the speed is much slower than mortals, but in most cases, it is difficult for people to see old Astartes.

As the founder of the Black Templars, the same old, old and revered Champion of the Emperor, Lord Sigismund said, there are no Astartes who die of old age in hospital beds, they will only die in armor Here, die in battle.

But don't just look at the appearance, for example, the person who has experienced the most battles and fought the most battles is lying on the balcony, leaning there comfortably, with one hand behind his head and the other dragging Dragging the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, he took a sip of the drink at hand.

  In the liquid with ice, the tungsten alloy and iron blocks collide with each other. I heard that it is because the tungsten alloy can also be refrigerated for a long time, and unlike ice, it will not be mixed with water after melting, which will make the wine or beverage taste bad.

But considering that the tungsten alloy itself is part of the cooler of the starfighter, ordinary people still forget about that kind of drinking method, but for those who are looking at Erlang's legs in the sun, this is not a problem. After all, the Supreme Marshal wants one Starfighter, and then disassembled some parts, what's so rare?

"Ahem, Lord Vito was here just now." "Forget it, leave him alone, let's start." After glancing at Vito, Guilliman went straight to the wall map in the war hall, which was hanging on the wall Above, it is composed of holographic spotlights intertwined all around.

The Macragge galaxy slowly rotates above, surrounded by several of its neighboring galaxies, the huge and iconic blue dwarf star twinkles in the center of all galaxies, its huge gravitational force forms a circle spanning several The hundred-light-year gravitational belt, officially it, made the entire Macragge star body rely on gravity to condense together.

It can be said that without it, there would be no Macragge galaxy, and now, a crimson line is spreading in the star area around the dwarf giant. They swim in the void and connect with each other to form a piece. As a result, a large red zone was formed, and signs representing biochemistry could be seen everywhere in it.

   "Fleets from all over the world have brought back news, and the interference of the warp space storm is still continuing, so we are still unable to contact the edge galaxy."

As Calgar came to the edge of the map, he tapped lightly on the map, and the light filaments of the spotlight responded quickly. They quickly changed and weaved together in the starry sky, and Macragge's star was shrunk down, reaching on the scale of galaxies.

Several long red lines are spanning half of the star region. They are not connected together, but form a system of their own in different space domains, but they are all expanding slowly without exception. The red lines on the edge are like It's like a tumor is beating.

"Captain Cole came back from the northern star region with his Infinite Frontier. According to the news he brought, the Ilse galaxy, Calmennon, and Istrolia galaxy have been completely fallen, and the Death Guard is in The plague spread locally, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties and were unable to maintain it. The captain decided to abandon the galaxy before the battle, led the remaining defenders and refugees, and cooperated with the fleet to break through and come back. They are currently armed with Karl-1 Star City.”

Calgar pointed to the map, Cal-1 Star City, that giant space orbital station lit up its own beacon, many of those giant orbital space stations were about the same size as Shanzhen, and could even be compared with smaller satellites, But their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they cannot move, and most of them can only be used as fixed firepower platforms for use with deep space starports. Once they are besieged, they can only defend.

The Inquisition Beacon of the Infinite Frontier was spinning on the edge of Star City, and Calgar turned to look at Vito, "Captain Cole told you that the refugees have been checked and there is no infection. For safety, he will also send them Brought to Star City to isolate, so you don't have to worry about it."

"What did he say?", "Tell that idiot, and all his Inquisitorial lunatics, don't rush at me with a bolter and beat me to pieces. I just washed the boat." , "Oh, that's right, it's my good captain who wasn't transferred by Chaos."

   "Go on." Guilliman said with his hands behind his back, Calgar nodded, and a new battle zone appeared on the east side of the Macragge star sector after tapping his finger.

"The east is now being attacked by the Terminus. The intelligence personnel of the Inquisition have confirmed after paying a terrible price. They are composed of a small group of Death Guards commanded by Typhus and a large number of Nurgle demons. Insufficient, so the whispers in the local area affected the minds of the local defenders and residents, resulting in a large number of rebellions. The rebels joined the Chaos camp, and Typhus transformed them into demons in large numbers to enrich the After his strength he launched a fierce attack."

"The local naval power cannot stop the corrupt Queen of Glory and the huge disaster fleet it carries, let alone experienced a betrayal. The current local defenders are shrinking their defenses and have abandoned several fringe galaxies. However, in order to avoid The plague spread through military and civilian ships, and the commander in charge of the eastern theater, Gavaro, the commander of the Nova Warrior Chapter, accepted the advice of the judge of the Inquisition of Demons, and executed the extinction order on several abandoned planets."

"They destroyed several agricultural worlds." Mikael stepped forward, frowned and said angrily, Calgar nodded in affirmation, "Yes, but it is also helpless, the plague of Nurgle is spread through these grains , at first the Inquisition thought it was refugees or airborne, until it was finally discovered to be grain."

This is definitely a ruthless deal. An agricultural world often corresponds to several hive cities, as well as other types of imperial worlds. They all rely on the food in the agricultural world to feed them. Once the grains there are used as a source of infection, it will instantly spread to Throughout the galaxy, a large number of people will consume the food there, making the plague uncontrollable.

"This may lead to a severe famine. They destroyed several agricultural worlds at once, which will lead to a large famine across the star area." Mikael said angrily. As Macragge's resident consul, he They are very clear about the logic of the planet's operation. If there is no food, people will die. Therefore, they will launch riots for this, adding fuel to the already chaotic situation.

"Indeed, but the judge of the trial court also provided a solution. He ordered his fleet to launch an extinction order on several planets, purifying all suspected or unidentifiable infected populations on them. At least in this way, the Don't worry about food rations."

   "The Emperor is above." Mikael exclaimed, which meant more than billions of casualties, and the judge passed judgment on billions of people without blinking his eyes.

He subconsciously glanced at their boss, Vito was leaning on the window sill drinking a drink, he shrugged when he heard what they said, "The standard I set for them is safety and efficiency first, it seems that they are still doing well. Can."

"May the Emperor forgive us." Mikael unfolded the Skyhawk salute on his chest, then took a deep breath and nodded to Calgar, who responded and pointed to the lower west, where a war zone also appeared randomly Icons, and strips of blooming dots in the center, which are broken into pieces and scattered all over the place.

"The west, it has been confirmed at present, is the attack led by Kugas who sat down by Nurgle. Its subordinates are almost all demons, so there is no fleet, and its attack method is to secretly bury the selected infection in the crowd. who then transformed them into Bloodhorn portals into the Warp, and then sent demonic hordes flooding the planet."

"It has captured several planets through similar methods. The person in charge of the west is the Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Gray Knights, Brother Yorktown. The Seventh Order he leads is fighting Nurgle locally. He executed almost all mortal assistants. The reason is that they may also be the carriers of the Blood Horn Gate."

   "Then how should he maintain the front line? Executed so many people." Mikael asked in surprise, pointing to the map in front of him, it was obvious that the situation there was not even out of control, and there were only a few planets clearly controlled by the infection.

"He sent his fleet to bomb all the infected planets. The demons have no anti-aircraft firepower and can't stop the orbital bombing.", "So he bombed all the planets where the demons appeared?", "Yes, that's what he did. By the time he got the word, he had vitrified more than twenty planets, and the demons were indeed wiped out, so the map shows they're still in our hands..."

   Even if there is nothing on the planet, there is no living person, but as long as it does not belong to Chaos, it belongs to the Emperor. How should I put it, it is a logical way of the Gray Knight.

"And in the south." Calgar pointed to the south, where a straight, sharp line of battle appeared, crushing the empire's defense line and advancing backwards. Its claws pierced into the empire's line, tearing apart many places It was broken, and then quickly caught up, and continued to move forward after devouring it.

"On the southern front, most of the empire's defensive troops were wiped out. The attackers were very cruel. There were no survivors who could escape. Only a few days ago, a small destroyer of the imperial navy jumped back through an emergency jump on the battlefield. , They are lucky, Geller's position is broken, since they can drive back."

"Geller's position is broken?", "If you are worried about Chaos pollution, then you don't have to worry about Mikael, they have all been dealt with.", "What did the Inquisition do?", "No, Battle Sister, Pa The nuns of Meno have dealt with them."

   Calgar looked at Guilliman, "My lord, the news brought back by the survivors of the navy has confirmed that the leader of the attack is the Fortitude.".

   "Mortarion, is his way of warfare, cruel, ruthless but efficient." Guilliman said with his brows furrowed, as if he had already seen Mortarion and looked at him.

   "It's him, my lord, who has identified his location. Mortarion is leading most of the Death Guard under his command. He is attacking Parmenio. The local defenders have sent a distress signal."

"He did it on purpose. The signals in the fringe star area were all blocked, but Pameio's signal was sent back. He could only have sent it on purpose." Vito, who was lying on the window sill, interrupted suddenly, and he finished his sentence. After taking a sip of the drink, the tungsten alloy iron block collided with the wall of the cup, and there was a clanging sound.

   "That's right, he's challenging me." Guilliman said with a frown, "An invitation, he's inviting me over."

   "My lord?" Mikael asked cautiously, but Kara didn't, because he already knew the answer.

"I will accept it. I will not be afraid of his challenge. If my brother is looking for me, let him find me." Guilliman raised his head and stared at Parmenio like a bird of prey stared at his prey.

   "Should we be cautious? Nurgle's troops are attacking all over the star area. If they are in such a hurry to go to Pamenio, they will be in trouble if they are deeply surrounded."

"Don't worry, Mikael, they won't help." Vito said softly while shaking the cup, Mikael looked at him in surprise, "Why? Master Vito, they are not allies Army?"

"Belonging to the same evil **** does not mean we are allies, my dear Mikael." Vito sat up, his drink was almost finished, "Mortarion and Typhus have always had conflicts, their twisted The relationship between father and son, as well as the conflicts in the fight for control within the Legion, as the first person to fall into Nurgle's arms and sacrifice the entire Legion, Typhus has received a lot of Nurgle's favor."

   "And this annoyed Mortarion. I understand his character. He is not a person who tolerates provocations, especially provocations from his subordinates in theory."

Vito took a sip of the drink, drank the last sip, and then slammed it on the window sill beside him, "And Kugas is even more like this, he is a demon, greed is his nature, but it is greedy. It is not power and money, but Nurgle's favor, it longs for Nurgle's love, which makes its emotions quite distorted, so it will not help the other two challengers."

"Our enemies seem to be powerful, but in fact they fight on their own and are broken into pieces. This reminds me of the White Army when I fought the October Revolution, and the Kuomintang... Is Mortarion the reincarnation of the principal? I said Why do they both like micromanagement so much?"

"In that case." Guilliman interrupted Vito, he looked at the star map in front of him and then turned to look at Calgar and Mikael, "Assemble the troops, a new and larger expeditionary force, since My brother invited me so sincerely, so naturally I can't treat him badly."

   "Obey, my lord." Mikael and Calgar responded at the same time. Judging from the tone, the former still hesitated, hesitating at the decision of the Primarch, but the latter did not hesitate.

   "My lord, I still suggest.", "Enough, Mikael, this matter has been decided, I have other tasks for you, go organize the Hera meeting, I have an important decision, and will announce it at the meeting."

   Mikael looked at his Primarch, hesitated for a moment and then bowed, "Understood, my lord."

"Then, the meeting is adjourned." Guilliman turned and left. He strode away without saying goodbye or encouraging everyone, which made Mikael look at Calga in surprise, and the chapter leader was also a little puzzled, and crossed After Calgar, Mikael saw Vito jump off the window sill and walked out whistling.
