Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Cole knows Trazin. Of course, this does not mean that Cole and Trazin are very familiar. He just knows and understands this strange Necron overlord. He attended the military academy on his home planet Macarius as early as Shi Cole heard the teacher mention this guy during class.

According to relevant records of the empire. Trazin always seems to appear at various important battlefields and event scenes, leaving quietly after causing more chaos in the chaos. No one can tell who he is helping. He is like a phantom ghost. Therefore, there are very few research qualifications on him.

And besides, even if there is, it is locked in the hands of the Alien Tribunal. It is impossible for anyone except the Inquisitor to check it. Cole has always wanted to study the issue of Trazin.

Cole did ask Vito about Trazin, but Vito was always evasive, and most of what he said was either unimportant or extremely jumpy and outrageous.

For example, he can jump from Trazin's participation in a certain battle between the Empire and Chaos to the fact that there are no old men in Trazin who are both male. Therefore, he must be a boring asshole like the oil guy. .

But now, Cole frowned as he looked at the mysterious undead overlord in front of him. The three Astartes behind him all gathered around and pressed their weapons. They all stared at the abominable emperor in front of them with vigilance. Enemy.

Trazin looked at them, and then saw Vito, who was trying to pretend to be serious and trying not to laugh as he faced an enemy. To be honest, the enemy of the Emperor, a powerful and terrifying enemy, a cunning and cruel alien. Putting the titles of alien and alien on Trazin's head felt as funny as calling an Ogryn ape man a great philosopher.

Vito knew that Trazin was only interested in collecting antiques, and that he was not only better than almost all of his undead brethren, he was even more tolerant than most of humanity's own planetary governors.

The "slaves" who work under Trazin live longer than most residents of the Imperial Hive, and their health is as good as heaven and earth. Trazin actually likes humans. He likes the creativity and infinite possibilities brought by humans. A possibility of surprise.

He even told Vito that if one day the undead could really rebuild the empire of the past, he would be very happy to leave a group of humans in captivity and give them enough food, drinking water and breeding space to observe these interesting species, just like a A game that is always fun.

Of course, Vito didn't agree with this very much. He said that he would probably kill the undead before they succeeded, so Trazin's human zoo plan may not be feasible, but Trazin didn't mind it at all. The relationship between the two is still very good, and it can be called a model of friendly relations between humans and alien races.

Trazin looked at Vito and smiled softly, then raised his head and looked at the two Space Marine veterans walking aside. Captain Eisenstein held down the chainsword on his waist and looked at the alien with hostility. , the distrust, vigilance and anger in his eyes were unconcealed.

"What conspiracy do you have? Alien." Eisenstein growled. The voice was like the first roar of a long-sleeping lion. Trazin looked at the old wolf Olaf standing side by side with him. He also looked at himself with suspicion, but the unabashed murderous intention was much lighter.

Trazin smiled coldly and spoke with the cold steel voice that all undead overlords have. The voice rang out from his flashing face, literally speaking like steel without any temperature.

"A deal, Space Marine, I'm here for a deal that is good for everyone." Before Trazin finished speaking, Eisenstein clenched his iron fist and strode forward to point at him, with blazing anger in his eyes.

"Everything the aliens say is a lie! Don't try to deceive us! I swear on the name of Rogal Dorn!" Eisenstein's threat was very sufficient. Ordinary people would be either angered or frightened, but Tara Xin did not look at the company commander and smiled.

"The sons of Dorne are stubborn, I know that, and I am lucky that you are not the one making the decisions on this ship, are you? Lord Inquisitor."

Trazin said and turned to look at Vito. As his body turned, a tearing halo appeared on the edge. Everyone looked at Vito, and Vito also looked at them, cleared his throat and looked at his hands behind his back. With Trazin.

"You said you had a deal, let's talk about it Alien." "It's an honor to deal with a sane person."

Trazin chuckled lightly and raised his head. He looked around at the Space Marines who formed a circle around him. They stood like a high wall and were full of murderous intent and vigilance, but this did not Not wanting to make the Endless feel unhappy at all, he decided to reveal the content of the deal.

"There is something on your ship that interests me. In fact, that thing originally belonged to my clan. It was stolen by the Eldar in the ancient war in heaven, and now it is in your hands." Trazin said Then he raised a hand, and the palm suddenly appeared from the edge of the holographic projection, and was transformed into a halo of light in a very short period of time.

"The Eldar call it the Jade of Old Decay. What a silly name. They don't even know what it is. I believe you don't know either, so I ask you to hand him over."

Cole frowned and looked at the Endless Trazin, his eyes full of alertness, "And what can we get? You said this is a deal, so what can we get?"

Trazin laughed. He looked at the strange long staff he held in his other hand with his fingers. He turned his steel face and looked at Cole in front of him, "The artifact is on your ship. If I attack by force, it will be very possible." It will damage the artifact, and you may destroy it to prevent me from getting it."

"But if you give it to me peacefully and return it to its original owner intact, then I will let you go and leave safely. I will do what I say."

Eisenstein roared just as Cole was about to speak. He took a step forward and glared at Trazin, then looked at Vito and Cole and clenched his fists, "He's lying! We can't believe anything an alien says!" "

"As soon as he gets the artifact, he will kill us. Everything he says is a lie. Judge!" Eisenstein's point of view was supported. Lancelot stepped forward and stood behind Vito, who also turned his head. The knight looked at Caliban.

"The company commander is right. He can open fire after getting the artifact. Alien has no sense of honor at all. It only takes the blink of an eye to break the promise. We shouldn't believe him." Lancelot said, raising his head He started to look at Trazin in front of him and frowned.

"And this alien is here to intercept us, which must mean that this artifact is crucial to him, and we must not let the artifact fall into his hands."

Vito frowned slightly and looked at Lancelot holding his arms, "Then your suggestion is that we should fight to the death with the undead fleet outside, destroy the artifact and then die together?"

"This is our mission, Inquisitor, we are the Emperor's sword and shield, and his angel of death should fight and die on the battlefield for him!" Eisenstein said stubbornly, and he stubbornly repeated his responsibilities and Oath, it is obvious that he is ready to return to the throne.

"We will never let such an important artifact fall into the hands of the Emperor's enemies. If the Empire cannot use it, then we must ensure that it does not fall into the hands of the enemy!" Eisenstein shouted, his words causing Ra With Genna's approval, the wolf cub clenched his ax and howled, his blood boiling as he looked at Vito from behind.

"The company commander is right, we should fight to the death rather than believe a lie of the opposite sex!" Ragnar said loudly, as if he was competing with who has the loudest voice. Vito looked at him with a slight frown and looked at Bell aside. .

The Ultramarine was silent for a moment while holding the gun and shook his head slightly. He did not approve of this tactic of mutual destruction. But what Vito didn't know was that the reason why Bell did not approve was because he did not want the precious knowledge on the ship to be buried in the sea of ​​fire and the documents disappeared into the Milky Way. He I don’t want to let the Supreme Marshal, the empire’s last hope, die in this hellish place.

Vito then turned to look at Cole, who was thinking silently. Vito could see that he was struggling. He didn't want to end his journey to explore the star sea and end his lifelong dream hastily, but he couldn't. He was very distressed by breaking his oath to the emperor. After some ideological struggle, he looked at Vito and said, "You decide the judge, and I will obey your orders."

Vito nodded, took a deep breath and looked at Trazin. The Endless One was also waiting for his answer, "I agree to the deal, but I must make sure that you mean what you say, Endless One."

Eisenstein was shocked, but when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Olaf. The old wolf shook his head to stop him, and Trazin also took this brief opportunity to speak and give a reply.

"Very good, then you will bring the artifact to my ship, and we will confirm everything there." Trazin said, Vito nodded slightly.

"Okay, can I bring an attendant and bodyguard with me? I think you will understand, right?" Vito said with a joking smile, raising his hand and pointing with his thumb at a large group of undead ships outside the bridge behind him. , the meaning couldn’t be clearer.

Trazin laughed after hearing this. This time the laughter was not the cold sound of steel at all, but more like the laughter of a living thing. "Of course, you can bring a guard, but only one." ”

"No problem. Remember to ask your men to control their guns when I get on the boat. Don't misfire, otherwise we will have to blow up together." Vito smiled jokingly, and the smile made everyone who knew him understand instantly. Everything, that was Vito's smile every time he was hatching a secret plan.

"Of course, I'm waiting for you, Lord Inquisitor." Trazin said and his image disappeared as soon as he snapped his fingers. The holographic projection was extinguished instantly. Vito rubbed his neck and looked at Eisenstein who was burning with anger.

The latter glared at Vito who did not hide his dissatisfaction. As expected of a son of Dorne, his dissatisfaction with you is written on his face, just like their father.

"Judge! How could you hand over the artifact to the alien! This is an act of betrayal! An act of heresy!" Eisenstein roared, and Vito looked at him and smiled.

"Believe me, company commander, no one knows what heresy and betrayal are better than me, and I have no intention of handing the artifact to him." Vito said, opening his clothes and taking out a small grenade from his arms.

The grenade was constructed in a strange way. It was different from common imperial grenades. The internal core of the grenade was a crystal, which contained a constantly changing energy structure. Those like gravel, also Light particles like water flow constantly reorganize the form, and then collapse like sand dunes after a short period of time.

"I'm going to blow him up into the sky." Vito said looking at the grenade in his hand. Everyone looked at the grenade and frowned at each other. Olaf watched as Vito stepped forward and pressed Eisenstein's shoulder.

"Inquisitor, is that the Eldar psychic bomb we captured a few years ago, right?" Olaf asked, pointing to the thing, while Vito nodded and weighed the bomb in his hand.

"Yes, the psychic bomb is a creation of the ancient Eldar Empire. The undead have no resistance to this psychic bomb. I will take this bomb, hide it with the artifact and give it to Trazin, and then detonate the bomb. Blow him up."

Vito looked at the changing energy body inside the bomb in his hand and said, the light inside illuminated his outline, "And if he discovers this bomb, I will detonate it at close range and take Trazin with me. Die together with the artifact."

Vito raised his head and looked at his friends around him. They all looked at Vito with solemn faces, "After Trazin is bombed, the Necronomicon fleet will shut down, and the Necromantic master control system will be temporarily paralyzed. You can take advantage of this." Take this opportunity to break out of the encirclement and escape immediately."

"And you will die, Vito, this is an assassination mission with almost no return." Olaf said, his face solemn and filled with an indescribable sense of sadness, while Vito laughed and threw the bomb , and then grabbed it.

"I think it's worth it to kill one or two people and save a boatload of more than 100,000 people. Your fate is not here, old wolf." Vito said with a smile, seemingly without any fear of his upcoming fate, but calmly Accepted it all.

Olaf lowered his eyes and spoke sadly. After hearing this, Eisenstein instantly changed his attitude. The previous anger and resentment were swept away, replaced by respect and gratitude. He knelt down on one knee to pay tribute without hesitation. .

"I take back what I said before, Inquisitor, you are the most noble and brave Emperor warrior I have ever seen. Please allow me to go to the throne with you."

"No, Captain, your life belongs to the Imperial Fists. Now the empire is in critical condition. An experienced veteran of hundreds of battles is vital to the empire. You must return to your battle group. They need you." ”

As Vito said, Ragnar immediately stepped forward, stood behind Vito and clenched his fists, "I'll go with you!"

"No, Ragnar, I don't want to go in and start a fight. Besides, I promised Bjorn that you can't die before the time comes." Vito looked at the wolf cub and said softly. The latter was stopped just as he was about to say something. Tor signaled to shut up. Ragnar wanted to say something else, but he respected Vito, so he chose to shut up and step aside.

"I will go with you, Inquisitor. My knightly oath will not allow me to retreat at this time." This time it was Lancelot's turn. Vito smiled jokingly and patted his power armor as if to comfort him. , he shook his head.

"The Eldar bomb needs someone who knows how to operate it to activate it. I have to find someone who understands these technologies and knowledge to help me carry it and activate the bomb at the right time. This person must be both skilled and calm."

His choice seemed to have been decided. Vito turned to look aside, and everyone looked over together. They all looked at Bell, "Bell, will you come with me to the hell gate?"

The Ultramarine was silent for a moment and looked at Lilith with his peripheral vision. He didn't know why he was looking at her. It seemed to be an unconscious behavior. People like to look elsewhere when they are thinking. This time he happened to see Lilith. .

She leaned on the captain's throne without any sadness or regret. The man she loved might have to die for the country, but she was not sad. Instead, she had a joking smile on her lips, as if she was watching an interesting event. game.

Bell looked at her for a moment, then understood everything in an instant. He turned to look at Vito and nodded solemnly, "March for Macragge, my lord."

Vito smiled and watched Bell step forward and hand the bomb to him. After Bell caught the bomb, Vito patted his arm and then walked to the far exit of the bridge. Bell also turned to look at him. The brothers nodded goodbye and followed.

The four Astartes who were still in the dark solemnly watched the two "martyrs", but the two who were about to die walked side by side in the corridor, and made sure they were out of the superhuman hearing range of their brothers. Finally, Bell stepped forward and looked at the bomb in his hand.

"Should I activate this bomb? Marshal." Bell asked, and Vito burst out laughing, seemingly amused by the question.

"No, of course not. I don't want to die in this remote ghost place."

"Or be dragged into a museum by Tarasin. Trust me, he's thought about that a few times, but I'm sure you'll like that place, old man."

Vito said with a smile, leading a confused Bell towards the connecting trestle to the Endless Museum in Nataracine.
