Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Gunshots were still echoing in the temple hall, but everything here was completely shrouded in the deepest darkness. Vito walked here, walking forward step by step in this dark world.

There is no light, no shadow, and no sound in the depths of the temple. Everything is shrouded in pure silence, like a dark corner forgotten by the world.

Vito walked in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, his eyes glanced around in the darkness like ink, and he shot out golden lightning from his palms. The arc quickly condensed into a small ball in the palm of Vito's hand. The small sun differs from the Emperor's sun in that the interior of Vito's sun is made of lightning.

The electric light illuminated the ground under Vito's feet, but the surrounding area seemed to be infinitely wide to the left and right, and infinitely long forward and backward. The light could not touch any walls at all, as if Vito was walking in a world of never-ending darkness. .

As he walked, the stone ground under his feet clanged under the tread of his spiked iron boots, and the clanging sound echoed farther and farther into the deep darkness.

But suddenly Vito heard a different sound coming from under his feet. He lowered his head and looked at the ground. A pool of water appeared from nowhere and flowed bifurcated on both sides of Vito's toes.

Vito looked around at the increasing amount of water around him, and the water level began to gradually rise to cover the insteps of Vito's feet. He stood in the water and looked around, subconsciously pressing the bolt gun at his waist.

The moment Vito looked around and turned his head, he watched a large whale whose body was made of endless light leaping out from the ground. The whale's fins shining with infinite light were like a pair of outstretched wings. The water dropped out of the water and fell back to the ground. Suddenly a wave rolled up and swept towards Vito.

Vito was submerged by the waves before he could react, but in just a short moment, the bubbles and waves around him began to materialize quickly, and everything around him changed in the blink of an eye.

Vito found himself standing under a scarlet sky. He raised his head and looked at the towering "shattered palace". He remembered this place. It was the palace of the orc emperor on Ullanor. This ghost place had the "uniqueness" of the orcs as always. Beauty” blessing.

He lowered his head and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. Horus was kneeling in the center of the ruined palace, surrounded by many people in the specially cleared open space.

Loken, Torgadon, Ashmand and Abaddon were all standing around. Along with them were all the officers of the Luna Wolves. They stood with the officers of the Blood Angels, Iron Warriors and other legions. The surrounding people stared at the scene in the square with solemn eyes.

The Emperor himself walked onto the square. He walked up to Horus holding a golden olive crown. Vito looked at himself, Valdor, Sanguinius, and Perturabo standing not far behind the Emperor. at.

At that time, I could be said to be very high-spirited. I was wearing a gorgeous marshal's jersey, which was a thoughtful gift from Fulgrim. It was as gorgeous as even when I was with the original bodies.

"Horus Luperkar, I appoint you as Warmaster in the name of the Human Empire and all mankind." The Emperor said solemnly, the shining sun disk shining infinitely behind his head.

"I accept this important task with sincerity. My Emperor, I swear to you that I will always be loyal to you and the Empire." Horus lowered his head and said, and the Emperor smoothly placed the golden olive crown on his head. , "I believe you will, my son, rise now Warmaster."

Horus stood up and was held high by the Emperor's arm. The soldiers around him burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the loud roars echoed throughout the land.

Amid the cheers, the picture in front of Vito began to blur, and the water curtain and bubbles reappeared, but quickly changed into another scene.

Vito was in a corridor at the moment. He immediately recognized that this was the Vengeful Spirit, and right in front of him he saw himself walking on the corridor with Horus.

"Are you sure it won't be a problem for me to leave?" Vito asked as he walked away. Horus laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "I'm not that weak yet, Vito, just respond to Dorn." Please return to Terra to help him reorganize his defenses."

"I'm just going to counter the rebellion. I have an entire legion in my hand, and I can easily do it three times, five times and two times." Horus said with a smile. He and Vito stopped to face each other on the parking deck at the end of the corridor. , Horus glanced at the Aquila on the deck and looked at Vito with a smile.

"I'll go to Terra to find you as soon as I go to Devon. We still have many issues to discuss with the high lord." "Of course, Horus, I'll wait for you to come and get together again."

The water curtain and bubbles appeared again, blurring everything, and then reappeared after reorganization.

Vito stood on the majestic bridge of a battleship. Through the surrounding flag displays and decorations, Vito could immediately recognize that this was the flagship of the Imperial Fist, the seventh ship of the Queen of Glory class, the "Eternal Expedition."

Vitor and Dorn were waiting here to receive an envoy. Dorn stood solemnly on the bridge deck and stared at the Space Marines who walked in. The warrior wearing iron-gray MK4 power armor strode up to Dorn and In front of Vito, he immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in greeting.

"Lord Dorn, Marshal Vito, I have brought you bad news." "Speak, Captain Garro, we are listening." Dorn said briefly, but as full of majesty as ever.

"Warmaster Horus has betrayed the Empire and the Emperor, we beg." "No! This is absolutely impossible!"

Vito interrupted Gallo, he interrupted everything with a shout, Dorn glanced at Vito and then looked at Captain Gallo seriously, "Your accusation is very serious, Captain Gallo.

"But every word I said is true. My two lords, if I tell any lies, please execute me immediately!" Garro faced a Primarch and the strongest one under the Emperor without giving in. Psyker, "Warmaster Horus is purging warriors loyal to the Emperor on Isstvan 3. They are in desperate need of our help!"

Dorn looked into Gallo's eyes. He knew Gallo and knew that he was a reliable officer loyal to the Emperor. He knew that he would not lie. Vito could also see it. The latter walked to the side and looked in disbelief. Looking at the universe outside the window, Sigismund immediately walked to Dorn's side.

"Should we inform the Emperor immediately?" "No, that would be too late. The loyalists need immediate support. We cannot give Horus a chance to react. We must act immediately."

Dorn looked at Vito and looked over without any hesitation, "Marshal Vito, according to the principles set by the Emperor himself, when the Warmaster is unable to exercise his power, you are the representative of all the armed forces of the Empire, including all Space Marine legions. As the supreme commander, you are the only one with the authority and qualifications to mobilize the still loyal legions to immediately go to Istvan to put down the rebellion.”

Vito turned his head and looked at Dorn, and Sigismund and Gallo also looked at him.

"You will lead a fleet of Space Marines to punish the Warmaster, no matter whether he has been your friend or not." Dorn said without mercy, while Vito sighed after hesitating for a moment. tone.

The ground under the feet of Vito, who was watching, suddenly turned into water. He fell from the water and landed in another place in the blink of an eye. Before he could stand still, he was almost knocked down by the explosion. Vito held up a table and lifted it. Start looking at the chaotic cosmic battlefield ahead.

A fierce fleet battle was taking place at an extremely close range. The ship being attacked was completely unprepared, and he was the same at the time. He watched himself being shaken by the explosion and knocked against the armrest at the command position on the bridge.

"The Marshal, the Word Bearers, the Iron Warriors, the Night Lords, and the Alpha Legion launched a rebellion! They are attacking the remaining fleets, and the remaining four legions on the ground are under siege!" the alarm shouted.

"Lord Feferus is dead! He was killed by Fulgrim. Sir, what should we do?!" The naval officer desperately sought instructions from Vito, but at the time, he looked in disbelief and panicked. Leaning on the armrest in despair.

"Marshal! Supreme Marshal!" Another burst of shouting woke up Vito. He immediately stood up and leaned on the armrest to look down. "All the ships that are still loyal are approaching me! Concentrate your firepower and rush out of the encirclement and start jumping immediately!"

The naval crew immediately carried out the order, and the battleships began to quickly turn and sail towards the edge of the battlefield. The loyalist ships that still retained their combat power also began to turn to break out.

A voice sounded in Vito's mind, a voice that entered his mind through psychic energy, "Vito, my best friend."

Vito recognized the voice, and then showed a surprised expression, "Lorgar?" "Yes, we will no longer be ruled by a false emperor, and we will fight to Terra to kill that false emperor and god. "

"So you are loyal to the Horus Heresy?" Vito asked angrily in his mind, but Lorgar responded to Vito calmly.

"No, I have never been loyal to Horus. My friends, join us. I will help you kill Horus. The remaining brothers will support you, and then you will lead our eight legions to Terra. Save humanity from him and usher in the dawn of a new era.”

With Lorgar's voice, everything changed again. After the earth-shaking changes, Vitor appeared in the palace. In the palace of Terra, he looked at the Emperor, Sanguinius, Dorn and himself.

"You won't let me go to the Vengeful Spirit with you? What the hell are you crazy about!" Vito protested loudly, but the Emperor looked at Vito seriously, "No, I have given you an order Vito, You have to go to the Internet. "Why the hell are you ordering me?"

"Listen Vito!" the Emperor said sternly, his anger causing a surge of psychic flames to surge up from his body. "Malcador is using his life to buy time for me. He can't hold on for long! He can't hold back either. The rift within Terra gives the star torch its function and drives the sun in the webway!"

The Emperor angrily scolded Vitor, "I order you to go down immediately and help Waldo, the Custodes and the Sisters of Silence guard the webway! Now is not the time for you to lose your temper!"

Vito looked at the Emperor in silence for a moment, then cursed and walked away. The Emperor looked at his back and Dorn came up to him and asked in a low voice, "Is there any other reason why you didn't take him with you?" ?"

"Yes, Dorn, I know that he cannot be ruthless. When he really faces Horus, he will be soft at the last moment like Horus." The Emperor said silently.

"I also don't want him to do that and kill his friends."

Vito looked at the emperor in time, with his lowered eyes accompanied by a sigh, and then the surrounding scene changed again and came to the last moment, a moment that he would never forget.

With only one breath left, the Emperor slumped down on the golden throne. He lowered his head tiredly and looked at Vito in front of him. At that time, he stood in front of him and looked at this scene with shock and fear.

"You old bastard! Get down here and I'll do it" "No! Vito, listen to me."

The emperor whispered, looking at Vito's extreme fatigue, "You are right, you and Malcador have always been right, I am not a good emperor, let alone a good father, I need you to walk on my behalf To the Milky Way, protect our empire."

The emperor raised his hand slightly, and with the sound of footsteps, a group of people appeared behind Vito. Among them were silent assassins wearing skull masks, and a man in black wearing the letter I that Vito had never seen before. There were even There were several Space Marines wearing gray armor, and their markings were ones he had never seen before.

"This is the gift that Malcador left me at the last moment of his life. Now I give it to you, my brother." He said, using his last strength to speak the last words, like a lonely man in Baidi City. Final instructions.

"I appoint you as the Grand Master of the Assassin's Court and the Inquisition. I grant you the authority to bypass the High Lords Council process and directly decide to assassinate anyone. If you want, you can dissolve the High Lords Council and make your own decision. "

"I hand over all my powers to you, and you will exercise all rights on my behalf. Everyone in the empire will obey your orders. What you say is what I say. I appoint you as the regent of the empire."

"Old bastard! Don't blame me! Stand up!" Vito shouted and rushed forward, but was held back by Dorn. The tall golden-armored giant dragged Vito to stop him from stepping forward. , and the priests of the Mechanicus activated the Golden Throne, the surging psychic power was rekindled, and that would be the last gap for the Emperor to embark on the eternal watch.

"Old bastard!" "Goodbye, my only...brother."

He watched the emperor gradually close his eyes. From then on, he never said a word to his people, and those were his last words as an emperor, a friend, and a brother.

Last words to Vito.
