Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 96

  Chapter 96 End Yan Era: Battle of the Mountain Array (Part 1)

The Khorne vampire was crawling on the ground. The lower body of the demon was missing. The blood flowed and extended along the broken wreckage it dragged behind him. The demon's claws scratched the ground and crawled hard, but he Khorne's back was suddenly crushed by powered iron boots, and Khorne was crushed to the ground, before a bolter was aimed at his head.

  The battle nun pulled the trigger with a blank face, and a short flash of fire illuminated her young face, and the nun with short brown hair walked towards another corpse with a bolter.

The temple of Dorn's Hand was full of corpses. The corpses of demons and traitors were removed separately, and the filthy corpses were piled up into small hills, which were then used by fighting nuns and stormtroopers with flamethrowers and plasma. ignite.

Gunshots echoed throughout the hall. The Sisters of Battle and the Inquisitors, who had won the Battle of the Hall, were sweeping the battlefield. The Sisters of Battle walked over the corpses, using chainsaw swords, bolt guns and power weapons to ensure that they were completely destroyed. Out of gas, and the stormtroopers and marines are doing the same work.

  The black ground was lit by the scorching light of Hell's muzzle, the flares of master-crafted bolters and plasmas flickered, and the Space Marines of the Imperial Fist swarmed around their commander.

  The survivors of the Imperial Fist were scattered in a small area, checking each other's equipment, and the centurion walked through the squad to make sure they were in top condition.

   The Astartes did not speak to the mortal soldiers, in fact they gathered in isolation at the edge of the hall, with a yellow iron wall separating the mortals from Captain Thor Galadon.

   But this is not absolute, because behind the yellow iron wall there are two "mortals" who are standing at the entrance of the towering dark corridor with Captain Galadon.

  Vito looked at the deep dark corridor, the deep darkness enveloped the space, the magnificent colossus and the exquisite murals were immersed in the darkness, and everything disappeared in the deepest darkness.

Lilith stood beside Vito with her arms folded. She stood very close, almost clinging to Vito's arm. This was obviously intentional. Lilith would stare at Celestine menacingly from time to time, Make sure the cherub is in her "right place"

   This correct position is an arm's length away from Vito, an Astartes size arm's length away.

Celestine also looked at the black corridor with one hand on her hips. Dazzling golden light scattered from the halo and wings behind her head. The pure light illuminated the vicinity of the entrance of the black corridor, making the nearest mural And sculptures appear in front of you.

"Thank you for your assistance, Judge." Captain Galadon walked behind Vito, and he handed the data plate in his hand to the non-commissioned officer who followed him. The latter left silently after saluting. As taciturn as a fist fighter.

"I have left a small team to defend the Hand of Dorne, and we will ensure that the holy relics are placed effectively." Galadon said, Vito raised his eyebrows and glanced at the entrance gate of the shrine in the distance. After casting a position, the sons of Dorne stacked and welded bulletproof shields and armor plates removed from unknown places, forming a simple position.

  Although Vito was wondering how Dawn would evaluate his children if he knew how they treated his severed hand.

"I'm more curious, company commander, why are you here? Warp space is not a suitable place for outings." Vito raised his head and looked up at the company commander. Galadon's tall body was even taller after wearing the Terminator armor. It was more than three meters high, and even Celestine had to look up at him.

"Indeed not, Judge, but I must order the warp into the warp to ensure the safety of the palace." Galadon said and looked towards the dark corridor, his giant bomber gauntlet moved his fingers slowly , the armored joints creaked.

   "The Demon Prince Belak managed to open a Chaos Portal in the Mountain Array. We still don't know how he did it, but he led the demon army and traitors to attack us in a place we didn't expect."

   "Beelak tried to seize the Mountain Formation, bombard Terra with our railguns, destroy the Golden Throne and kill the Emperor." Galadon said through gritted teeth, clenched his fists tightly and snapped his knuckles.

"I had to choose between failing the Emperor and failing the Primarch, and I ended up ordering our manageable Sentinel artillery to attack the daemon-controlled guns and areas, leaving the Sentinel to destroy part of itself, I I have failed the Chapter Commander, and I have failed Lord Dorn even more."

  Vito looked at the extremely ashamed Garadon and shook his head slightly, "No, Captain, believe me, Dorne will be proud of you."

Galadon blamed himself, his face was full of shame and self-resentment, "I failed Lord Dorne and the Emperor, I didn't imagine that since I would be attacked in such a way over Terra, I have seriously failed my duty. "

"Company commander, if I remember correctly, all the companies have left Terra to perform their missions, even the Chapter Master himself led the first company and the honor guard to leave, and there are less than thirty bosses of the third company on the mountain array With the seven Terminator veterans, and dozens of recruits from the 7th Company who are still undergoing training." Celestine said comfortingly, looking at the company commander with holy eyes.

   "You can't hold the entire Shanzheng, you have done your best company commander." Celestine said softly, as gentle as the warm sunshine in winter, making people so kind and reassuring.

  But Galadon stubbornly shook his head, "No, this is my dereliction of duty. There is no reason or excuse at all. I am a garrison officer and everything that happens is my responsibility."

  Just like his father, Vito thought, Dorn was also stubborn and responsible, and that responsibility sometimes brought pain and incomprehensible decisions.

  He too.

Vito thought to himself, Celestine glanced at Vito as if knowing what he was thinking, Celestine smiled and looked at Galadon again, "But you defended Terra and the Emperor With the throne, he asked me to thank you."

  Galadon knelt down to salute Celestine without hesitation, and the Imperial Fists around him all knelt on one knee, and everyone was decisive and not dragging their feet.

"I have no right to accept this gift, my lord, but please forgive the negligence of my chapter." Galadon said, bowing his head, and Celestine stepped forward and pressed his shoulders, "You did what you should do All, Commander, Emperor and I saw you order the Mountain Array to jump without coordinates, in order to prevent the chaos traitors from planning in a way that would inevitably destroy the entire army."

   Yes, having an entire fortress full of demons, and emergency jumping out of Terra orbit with no reinforcements and no destination, is basically courting death, no madman would do that.

   But the Sons of Dorne are neither madmen nor idiots, but they have faithfully fulfilled their duties as the Iron Guard of Terra.

   "Heads up, Captain, the Emperor wishes you to rise in glory," said Celestine, and Garadon no longer hesitated to stand with the warriors.

  Vito looked at Celestine and smiled, she really learned the essence of that old bastard.

   "Bell, Lancelot, Ragnar, and Olaf, report the situation." Vito activated the communicator and said, and immediately his wrist communicator transmitted the rustling communication audio that was interfered.

"Lancelot and I took the sixth deck and the hangar, but we and the commandos were overwhelmed. Traitors and demon **** are everywhere. We are trying to meet the Imperial Fists at the armory." Ragnar's voice said, obviously fighting with something, it sounded like another guy with a chainaxe.

   "The situation is very bad, Vito, our escape route has been cut off, and the ship of Cole and the nuns has left the port." The Son of the Wolf said.

  Vito cuts into Cole's channel, the Imperial Navy logo appears on the screen, and soon the audio segment jumps, with huge explosions and noises coming out of it, but Cole's voice is also mixed in.

"Cole, what's the situation?" Vito asked, and Cole's voice came after the loud gunfire, "The number of the Chaos fleet is too large, and I can't maintain the connection with the Absolute Truth. I ordered to leave the mountain. The Xinggang of the array is engaged in a dogfight."

   "But it's best to find a way, Vito, our two ships can't handle the dozens of Chaos battleships around, let alone the traitor space fighters on it."

   "They tried hopping, and they almost made it, so better figure something out," Cole's voice said, followed by an explosion.

   "Captain! The end of the left deck has been landed! Traitor Space Marines have appeared on deck!" the voice of the first mate shouted, "Battle Sisters and Marines are intercepting! But we must prevent more traitors from landing!"

   "Heard Vito? Come on." Cole's voice is off-line, obviously he has no time to chat, and Vito switches to Olaf's channel with a sigh.

   "Old wolf?" "Can hear the judge." "How are you doing?"

  The intensive roar of the bolt gun came, and a burst of shouting and gunfire almost overloaded the entire audio, and the harsh noise caused the entire audio wave line to peak completely.

"We joined the veterans of the Imperial Fist, but we were also suppressed. We must prevent more traitors from ascending the mountain formation, Inquisitor." "I know, hold on to the old wolf." "Of course, may the whole father guide you." "You too."

Vito turned off the communicator and looked at Galadon and Celestine. Vito squinted at the two of them, and then looked at the company commander, "Company commander, how many automatic guns are there on the Mountain Array?" The system is online?"

  Mountain Array is aerospace equipment built in the golden age after all, and of course it would not be driven purely by manpower, otherwise the battle group with a body size of a thousand people would have abandoned most of the moon-sized fortress.

   Galadon frowned slightly, and then made an accurate estimate, "We only destroyed the artillery controlled by the demon, and now 60% of the firepower is still intact, but we must go to the bridge."

   "I ordered to close and cut off the central control system of the mountain array to prevent the traitors from taking control of the mountain array. I think there are still some soldiers fighting near the bridge. They will help us reach the bridge to restart the system."

   Galadon said that both Celestine and Lilith looked at Vito, and the latter smiled and picked up the chainsword, "Then, Captain, are you ready to take back the right of residence here?"

  The Imperial Fist fighters raised their weapons, and the centurion stood at the front of the line, holding a power sword shining with energy and lightning. Galadon glanced at his brothers who were ready to attack and turned to look at Vito.

  The bolt fists clicked into place.
