Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Generally speaking, star ports are open-air. Most star ports are built in open areas because the main tasks of star ports are to transport materials, load and unload cargo, and launch and land. Moreover, the open terrain is also convenient for docking large ships. Therefore, most star ports are open-air or semi-open-air.

But Cadia's is different. Like most of the buildings, it is strictly protected. Movable armor covers and granite structural layers cover the docks and runways, strictly protecting the place.

The target of its protection is the large starship controlled by countless heavy-duty supports, gantry cranes and mechanical arms in the dock.

The entrance gates of the star port quickly opened to both sides, and Celestine flew into the dock. She landed on the ground and her huge wings opened and closed slightly behind her. Behind her, a large number of Cadian civilians and Guardsmen came from several entrances. pouring in everywhere.

It has to be said that Cadia is a militarized planet, and its people have crushed the entire empire in terms of discipline and organizational skills. The men, women, and children of Cadia calmly combined on the deck, and they used militarized dogma to They gathered with the organization in batches and loaded their luggage onto the transport vehicle under the command of professional Cadillac soldiers.

In a very short period of time, luggage and key supplies began to be packed. No one sat on the deck crying or running around in a hurry. Soon all the Cadian people who might soon become refugees began to act together. Under the command of the commander, he began to participate in transportation, organization and loading and unloading work.

At first, many people were regretful and depressed about the home planet they were about to abandon. Many people wanted to stay and live and die together with Cadia. However, after Lord Creed gave a high-spirited speech, these Cadi The Sons of Yah accepted the order. They would abandon Cadia and flee to the Star Sea.

Cadia may fall, but as long as they, the sons of Cadia, are still alive, and they are still alive somewhere in the empire, then Cadia will never fall, because they are Cadia.

Celestine looked at the crowded deck. Thousands of refugees preparing to evacuate were gathered here. Other evacuation teams were also gathered in the remaining star ports. Hundreds of millions of Cadian people would take the starship to fly away. Away from home.

"Sergeant Major, the Blackstone Fortress is about to hit the planet! We have less than two hours. Can the evacuation be completed in time?" Celestine asked. The Sergeant Major with the gun on his back nodded affirmatively, and stars appeared behind him. Several huge landing decks of the ship were still open, and transport vehicles and refugees also began to board the ship.

Under the unique and efficient organizational power of the Cadian people, Cadia's retreat was extremely efficient. Thousands of refugees began to board the ship in an orderly manner, without panic or competition for escape opportunities.

Perhaps until now, for many people, even if they die in Cadia, dying on their home planet is not a big deal.

"Yes, sir, we will complete all the boarding work within two hours. According to the order, we have abandoned all heavy weapons and armored vehicles and only transported people. This reduces a lot of workload."

Celestine nodded with satisfaction, and then signaled the sergeant major to leave. The latter saluted and immediately began to organize the work. In front of Celestine's eyes, the restraint structures around the starship as tall as a building began to open one by one. The huge mechanical arms and support frames retracted to both sides, and white cooling gas spurted out.

The starship roared and its engines began to warm up.

"With the blessing of the Emperor, everything is going well." Captain Delantius Shield Captain came from a distance. He walked from a group of space warriors carrying a halberd. Warriors in various armors gathered together, and they were stuffed. Lustin could tell at a glance that the soldiers of the Black Templar had also returned to the team.

The bald Marshal Amalric is wearing a black sword and directing his subordinates to prepare for evacuation. The Space Marines of the other chapters are also starting preparations under the orders of their respective commanders.

The soldiers of the Great Crusade era obeyed the orders of the Shield Captain, and they were also the fastest organized. The Shadow Master had already begun to lead the team and board the ship from behind the refugee team.

Everything on the deck was in order, which made the Shield Captain very satisfied. He walked up to Celestine and looked at the starship being prepared with her.

"I asked Marshal Amalric if he regrets that he ignored orders and caused the bastion to almost fall before we arrived." The Shield Captain said, Celestine looked at the unplugged fuel pump and energy conveyor belt They are being disconnected one by one, which also means that the fuel tank is full.

"What did he say?" Celestine asked. The Shield Captain snorted and shouldered his halberd. "He said that he was very remorseful and ashamed. He would swear to the Emperor to use his life to atone for his sins. But he doesn’t regret his decision to stick to the final door.”

"Because the attacking Iron Warriors humiliated Rogal Dorn, he had to defend the honor of the original body, so he swore to stand his ground and repel the traitors. The traitors did retreat, so his oath was fulfilled, so he That’s why I came here.”

"So, if Abaddon hadn't ordered the ground forces to retreat, he planned to lead the soldiers and the Iron Warriors to die together and be smashed into pieces by the Blackstone Fortress?" "Yes." "Ha, he is indeed the descendant of Dorne."

"That's wrong. Although Lord Rogge Dorn is stubborn, he also knows right from wrong. He knows what decision is right no matter how appropriate it is."

A mechanical sound interrupted the communication between Celestine and the Shield Captain. She turned her head and looked at the Great Sage of the Mechanicus who was walking towards her. She looked at Bailey, whose physique was almost as tall as the Guard Captain of the Imperial Guard. Saryu Kaur.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Caul." Celestine said. Caul's mechanical eyes turned twice, and he looked down at Celestine in front of him. "Indeed, I came here by accident. because of an important job.”

"What's the job?" the shield captain asked differently. Belisarius Caul watched the captain rotate his mechanical arm, and tapped his fingers lightly on the scepter.

"An important mission, and a success." "What mission? Tell the wise man."

Belisarius Caul quickly, skillfully and in a Mechanicum style told them the story about how he found the black stone obelisk and already knew how to use it.

A purely mechanical explanation that is joyless and meaningless, you know, the kind that is full of data, procedures and principles. It is more like listening to a paper report, but it is indeed understandable.

Celestine frowned and looked at Caul in front of her, "So you have found a way to possibly close the Eye of Terror, and you are trying, but here you are, preparing to board the ship and leave. ”

"Please don't misunderstand me, living saint. I don't need to escape because of fear. I have other important tasks to perform." "What important task?" The shield guard captain asked again.

"Without comment." Caul responded coldly. He had no fear at all when facing the angry look of the Imperial Guards. He just answered quietly, like a classic member of the Mechanicus.

"I left the servitors to carry out automated program operations. I have authorized them to activate the black market obelisk and start testing. If the experiment fails, their losses can be accepted."

"I must leave, go to Macragge, and carry out an ancient agreement that I signed with the Ultramarines Chapter. It cannot be hindered or questioned."

Caul gave a series of replies coldly and seriously, while Celestine looked at him, slightly confused, "I hope your test will start when the subspace power is sucked away after we leave Cadia. The feeling makes me a little uncomfortable."

In fact, it was pain, as if her soul was about to be taken away, her mind was like lightning and thunder, her whole body was weak and in great pain, she could even feel the feeling of the emperor sitting on the golden throne.

It's hard to imagine how he persisted for ten thousand years under such torture.

Celestine rubbed his head with an embarrassed look on his face, while Call watched him roll his mechanical eyes, "Ah, unfortunately, according to my program, the startup time is about." "When?" Seiler Sting asked, "Now."

Suddenly, that feeling came again, and Celestine fell limply to the ground. If the shield captain hadn't supported her in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

Celestine's limbs were limp with a look of pain on her face. The light from her body began to be sucked away bit by bit, and her wings began to become dim and dull.

Around them, earthquake-like tremors spread to the star port. The panicked people looked around, and then regained their composure amidst the shouts of the sergeant major. He shouted orders to speed up and board the ship, and the entire team became efficient again. It started working.

Obviously, for them, they thought that the Blackstone Fortress was about to hit, so the speed of evacuation began to increase suddenly.

"We must evacuate as soon as possible. Abaddon will definitely try his best to stop us and make a last-ditch effort." Caul said, signaling to the shield captain to leave. Delantius picked up Celestine, a typical princess. Hold her in your arms with a hugging movement.

Celestine's head rested on the captain's chest, and the tall golden giant walked to the evacuation deck of the starship. Call also followed with his huge body squirming.

Celestine put her hand on the captain's chest, and she smiled bitterly, "Only one person has hugged me like this."

"Who is that lucky guy?" the company commander asked, obviously not having any inappropriate emotions or feelings towards Celestine. This is something that a Custodian must understand.

Celestine smiled bitterly and leaned into the company commander's arms, "An old man will never die."
