Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The propulsion tail flames stretched behind it, and the Endless Frontier drove on a "splendid" galaxy background. The entire battleship seemed to be sliding through a sea of ​​stars, and the huge scarlet background shone around the battleship. A disturbing light, the light of the Eye of Terror itself.

Cole stood nervously on the bridge. He looked out the window at the gorgeous but dead starry sky. The dead silence was not because there was no sound. There was definitely no sound in a vacuum. What was really dead was the communication channel and radar scanner. .

The battleship's apocalypse array continuously scanned the surrounding space, but what came back was suffocating silence and cold, nothing, nothing at all.

There are no beacons, no recognition response from the ship or any man-made objects, no communication and no feedback band. There are only audible sound waves shooting into the void, and then impacting on those cold, lifeless asteroids.

The surrounding asteroid belt floated and gathered along the gravitational point of the star, and those cold galactic creations wandered aimlessly around the battleship, and this was what made Cole feel uneasy.

Yes, he was very uneasy and creepy, no guns and no enemies appeared, the Emperor is above! The Battle of Cadia has already begun, and it has become a battle of the Apocalypse on the main star. All kinds of guns are firing, and the earth is breaking and churning, but here, there is not a single enemy near the area closest to the Eye of Terror.

Yes, this is what makes Cole uneasy, because there are only two possibilities. First, they are in the wrong place, and second, they are walking into an ambush circle.

It was very quiet on the bridge, and everyone kept silent as if they were afraid of missing any surprises, especially Ragnar who kept absolutely quiet.

The young, energetic wolf cub now stood silently between his brothers and looked at the display screen. The display operated by Omega reflected the surrounding situation, the radar reflection coordinates of the asteroid belt and the unresponsive communication channel.

The four warriors all looked at the screen quietly, falling into absolute silence like all the dead surroundings. In normal times, this would be nothing, but this is Cardia. They are almost sailing on the edge of the Eye of Terror. How could they be a little bit... There is no information about the enemy or ourselves, as if this place has been deliberately cleared.

Vito also looked at the screen with his chin raised. He also looked at the display screen with a slight confusion. He glanced at Lilith, who shrugged slightly and expressed a negative attitude.

There are no Chaos ships nearby, at least within the range of Lilith's perception, but it does not rule out that the Eye of Terror's chaotic stance reaction superimposed on the surrounding asteroid belt will cause her perception to be wrong.

Vito raised his eyes and looked at the astronomical unit tearing apart the Milky Way. The chaotic portal of the Eye of Terror was churning with power not far away. The destructive power from the subspace was seeping out from it, changing the surrounding stars into incomparable shapes. Dead silence.

According to the scan results, there are no normal life characteristics on it. Yes, the normal ones are gone, replaced by those twisted life forms in the subspace, some life forms that you will never see.

"Omega, strengthen the radiation scanning. Maybe you can find traces of ships passing by on the background of the Milky Way." Vito said. Omega nodded slightly, and the robotic arm quickly switched and moved on the control platform, and soon switched the scanning mode to radiation. channel.

The four giants all came closer. They crowded behind Vito and Omega and looked at the green display screen. The faces of Vito and Omega were also illuminated by the green light, making them look very strange and strange.

A short scanning sound suddenly sounded, and Cole turned his head suddenly and strode to the side of the screen. Two men, four supermen and a cyborg looked at the screen together, but overall there were seven men. .

A trace appeared on the scanning screen, a trace that seemed to be left by someone walking through the snow. It was a trail of flames left by a giant battleship sailing across the surface of the galaxy. The traces of radiation left by its plasma thruster had not yet dissipated. , outlining the scope of what a battleship once existed.

"Check where it is going." Before Vito issued this order, Omega had already completed the task efficiently. He switched the map of radiation traces to the screen, and the rainbow-colored traces headed towards the back of the battleship, and landed on the screen. After a certain distance, it gradually weakens until it disappears.

"Sailed in front of us? That side came from the subspace." Lancelot said. He had obviously determined that the ship was a traitor ship under the banner of Chaos, but Olaf had a different view.

The old wolf pointed at the map and said seriously, "No, it may be a trick. If we can also think of scanning for radiation traces, then the traitors will too. I know Sven Gorehowl. He is an experienced hunter who once hunted in Finland." Hunting and tracking on the ice fields of Reese, he knows the importance of disguising the traces of his activities and inducing his prey to underestimate the enemy and ignore his own presence.”

"You mean, Sven Bloodhowler Wolf Lord might be disguising? Did he disguise these radiation traces? But how? We didn't find any traces of driving behind us." Bell asked doubtfully, indeed This was a problem. No matter what Gorehowl planned, he needed to get here first, and the scan found no traces that should have appeared when he arrived here.

Olaf shook his head and was obviously unable to answer this question. The giants looked at each other in confusion, but it was Captain Cole who had rich navigation experience who finally answered.

Cole pointed to the edge of the map and the location where the radiation appeared, "If it were me, I would sail with high power outside this area, then turn off the propulsion engine when approaching, rely on inertial sliding to reach here, and then start the engine to turn, thereby forging a I’m here out of nowhere.”

Cole is indeed an experienced captain. Although he is not sure whether he has done this kind of thing before, it is obviously very logical. Vito and Omega both nodded in agreement.

"But the question is, where is the Wolf Lord?" Ragnar said, looking at the people around him, "We must find the Wolf Lord before we can fulfill our duties."

Vito looked at the screen in silence for a moment, and then turned to look at Cole silently. The latter was stunned and immediately understood that this guy had come up with a bad idea.

"Omega, turn on the communication. We will send out a broadcast from the public channel to ask people around." Vito said. He was immediately opposed by Bell. He walked to Vito and looked sideways at Vito.

Bell looked serious and stared at Vito threateningly, "Judge, if we send out communications on the public frequency, we will be exposed immediately, and all surrounding ships will discover us, including possible Chaos ships!"

"We will be under siege! Once we fail here, we will not be able to complete our mission! We must go to the target location to find a way to awaken Lord Roboute! We cannot lose sight of one thing or the other!"

Vito turned his head and looked at Bell coldly. He could understand Bell's mood, but he also had to wake up this Ultramarine who was blinded by the possibility of awakening his father.

"This is what the Emperor himself requested, remember? Celestine told us directly, Bell remember, we first need to obey the Emperor's will."

Bell swallowed it back just as he was about to speak. He had nothing to say and then stepped back. Olaf pressed his shoulders and encouraged his brother with his eyes, and Bell nodded silently.

"Olav, come and speak in Fenrisian. If Sven Gorehowl can hear it, maybe he will believe us." Vito said, pulling out the wireless broadcast microphone and handing it to Olaf. The tall giant held it between his fingers. Got the microphone.

The old wolf put it to his mouth and looked at the starry sky outside. He was silent for a moment and then said in a voice as rich and majestic as the Fenris Icefield.

"I am Olaf Greataxe. I come from the Sea Wolf Company and obey the Wolf Lord Engir Siren's End. I am now assigned to serve in the Death Watch Chapter. My brothers, can you listen to my words."

Olaf's words ended and were replaced by a dead silence in the channel. Everyone looked at each other and just when they were about to give up, an alarm suddenly sounded and a red warning light illuminated the entire deck.

All the artillery and weapon arrays were turning to aim at the back of the battleship, and the void shield also began to recharge automatically.

"Report!" Cole yelled. The first mate looked nervously at the scan screen and then raised his head and shouted, "A strange warship appears on the back! It is approaching at accelerating speed! It is armed!"

"We're aiming at it! We can fire at any time!" "Wait!"

Vito shouted and raised his hand to signal, and Cole immediately raised his hand to signal that firing was prohibited. The captain turned to look at Vito, and the Inquisitor was also looking at the approaching red dot.

Vito sighed and pulled out the phone, and suddenly Vito spoke in Fenrisian.

"I am Vito Constantine, who are you?"

The silence lasted for a while, and then the channel suddenly flashed with an echo, the sound like a roaring giant wolf.

"I am Sven Gorehowl, Lord of the Space Wolf Gorehowl Dalian Company. It's a pleasure to see you again, Inquisitor."
