Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 225 The Rise of the Primarch: A “Friendly” Retreat

A halo flickered on the edge of the black giant ship. It was the light projected from the distant Milky Way by the starlight blocked by it. Those lights were completely blocked by the huge black ship. Only at the edge could a trace of light escape from that place, proving that there was still a curtain of the Milky Way behind the dark creation.

Eisenstein and Olaf stood on the bridge. The two century-old veterans looked at the black ship together. The dark hull was completely dark like a black hole. Only the green light spots that occasionally slid across its steel surface allowed people to see its huge size.

The huge ship that covered the sky and the sun seemed to have no end at all. The green stream of light passed through it, and the other end flew to the end of the black ship that was unknown how far away.

This thing was creepy, cold, dark and without temperature. If it were a mortal, he would probably have been scared silly by the fear it brought, but the two of them would not. They were Astartes, the Emperor's angels of death, and they didn't know what fear was.

Eisenstein looked at the ancient tomb ship and turned to look at Cole. The captain was looking at the complex holographic screen in front of him not far away. "Captain Cole, are we ready for an emergency jump at any time?" Cole turned his head to look at Captain Eisenstein, then strode to the deputy's side and looked at his female first officer, "Anna! Prepare for a situation report!" The female first officer with short black hair looked at the data terminal in front of her, then turned her head to look at Cole, "The subspace jump engine is ready, the Geller stand and the void shield are also fully charged, and I asked the power cabin to fully charge the auxiliary batteries. They can be urgently charged and restarted once after breaking the shield." "Very good, Anna, well done." Cole nodded with satisfaction, and Anna saluted her captain. She knew Cole's habits and tactical style very well. First Officer Anna has followed Captain Cole for many years. It can be said that no one knows Cole so well except her, and even Vito is included in this extensive list. "We await your orders, Captain." Anna said, and Cole nodded and looked at the old helmsman Kent who was just below. "Be ready to break through Kent at any time. You have to perform some difficult moves this time." Cole said, and Kent laughed. The old helmsman held the rudder.

"I have flown many times since I boarded the ship more than ten years ago. I think it is not difficult to fly again." Kent said, tapping the rudder gently with his fingers as if to soothe, as if touching his lover.

"Remember the time in the Beast Star Region? Inquisitor Vito asked me to drive the ship head-on into the greenskin fleet and avoid all the greenskin warships that hit it."

Cole smiled, he looked at his old helmsman and smiled without reservation, "I believe you will fly that kind of miracle again, waiting for orders." "Yes, Captain."

Cole turned his head and looked at Captain Eisenstein, "We are ready, Captain, just waiting for Vito's signal, I think he should be soon"

Before he finished speaking, the urgent communication warning sounded, and Cole and the four Space Marines who were still on the ship looked at the flashing red dot.

"Looks like it's now." Cole said, then walked up and pressed the button. Almost immediately, the communication audio, which was shaking greatly, occupied the entire channel, and the dense sound of bolt guns and decomposition laser beams filled it.

"Hey, Cole, I think you can be ready to run away." Vito's voice came after a round of bolt gun shooting. Olaf walked up and stood behind Cole to watch the communication channel. They couldn't see Vito's face but could imagine the situation on the scene.

"Are you in trouble?" Olaf asked. Vito's gun fired again, and the most piercing one was the hissing sound of a decomposition ray shooting at a very close distance.

"Obviously, but I can handle it, Bell! Kill those iron bastards!" Vito's voice shouted and a short gunshot immediately responded to him.

"Did you succeed in killing the alien leader? Inquisitor." Captain Eisenstein, Ragnar, and Lancelot walked up together and surrounded the communication platform.

"Well, not completely, he's still alive, you're still alive, right?" Vito asked someone, and a vague response came from the background, "He's still alive."

Ragnar and Lancelot looked at each other, their expressions were extremely strange, and Eisenstein was not much better than them. The company commander frowned and looked at the communication channel that was shaking violently, "Is the artifact still in your hands? We can't let that thing be taken away by the undead."

"Don't worry, it's still in your hands, but the undead's enthusiasm for the artifact may be." Vito stopped before he finished speaking, followed by a gunshot, and then he spoke again, "Unexpected enthusiasm."

"Have you been suppressed?" Olaf asked worriedly, and Vito hummed for a while.

"I think we suppressed the undead, although the method is a bit ungentlemanly."

"What do you mean?" Ragnar did not hide that he didn't understand at all. Vito smiled and dodged a burst of decomposition light, and the laser attack made a hissing sound on something.

Vito fired two more shots, "We have a meat shield, ah. Bell, can he be called a meat shield? I think he is made of nothing but iron."

"Iron shield? Or iron man shield, you decide for yourself, sir." Bell gave his own rigorous answer, and with the sound of a grenade exploding, he once again fired rapidly, and judging from the response of broken steel in the background, his shooting skills were as reliable as ever.

The people on the ship were confused when they heard this endless conversation. Cole looked at the communication channel and propped it up on the surface, "You idiot, what the hell did you do?"

"Ah, to put it simply, I kidnapped Trazin and am now tying him up and walking back, using him as a shield to prevent the undead from firing directly at us." Vito responded, "You don't mind, right? ? I hope you don't mind, those lasers of yours look scary, I hope they don't hit you."

The Astartes immediately frowned and looked at each other, and Cole immediately looked at the communication band seriously, "Where are you?" "We are retreating to the trestle. If you don't mind, we need fire support, and we have to hurry up."

"Lorken! Tie that iron bastard to death, don't let him move!" Vito shouted and cut off the communication channel.

"Loken? Who is that?" Lancelot asked confused, but obviously this was not the most important issue to consider now. Captain Eisenstein decisively pulled out the bolt pistol on his waist and looked at Cole.

"Order all Marines and Stormtroopers to gather at the exit of the trestle. The Inquisitor needs help!" Eisenstein ordered, maintaining his decisiveness, rationality and ability to respond quickly to emergencies as a company commander.

Captain Cole nodded affirmatively and immediately switched the communication channel, "Colonel York, take all your people to the entrance and exit of the trestle and bring heavy weapons. The Inquisitor needs our support." "Understood Captain, I will convey the order immediately. "

After receiving the colonel's response, Eisenstein looked at his three brothers, "Prepare your weapons and kill the aliens in the name of the Emperor!" Following the company commander's order, the three of them drew their weapons and followed the company. Chang ran towards the exit of the bridge.

After Cole watched them leave, he immediately looked at the bridge control team below, "Order the entire ship to prepare to evacuate at any time!" "It's the captain!" everyone responded.

The four Astartes rushed onto the deck where the entrance to the trestle was located. Lancelot rushed to the front and drew his bolt gun and prepared to fire, but he immediately hid back as soon as he leaned out.

A dense burst of decomposition beams and various green lasers came from the trestle. The dense laser rainstorm instantly turned the entire trestle green. Eisenstein leaned on the other side of the exit and held the gun, while Ragnar behind him.

The company commander stuck his head out and looked at the colorful trestle. The undead were shooting at the entrance and exit of the ancient tomb ship opposite the trestle. Those soulless steel aliens were firing fiercely with various weapons, and Vito, Bell and another newly emerged Astartes were walking back with Trazin tied up.

The undead consciously avoided accidentally injuring their leader. Various laser beams shot past Trazin's sides, while Vito, Bell and others were hiding behind Trazin obscenely. The strange Aspen The Tate warrior helped tie Trazin's neck with his arms and slowly retreated back, literally using him as a shield to block the attack.

"Damn, they look so wretched." Ragnar stuck out his head and summed it up succinctly. Eisenstein raised his pistol, pointed it at the opposite side of the trestle, and fired a shot. The bomb shot through the narrow trestle and instantly knocked down a dead man. Spirit steel soldier.

"Fight! Cover them!" Eisenstein said and began to fire continuously. The bombs roared across the trestle corridor and hit the opposite side. The remaining three people also joined the shooting queue.

The four Astartes leaned against the door frame of the entrance and opened fire. Explosive bombs flew past both sides of Vito and his group. Vito was startled and looked back to see the four people who fired, and they were not the only ones, Colonel York. people have also arrived.

The stormtroopers and marines entered the shooting position with laser guns and plasma guns. The scorching red laser beams and the green decomposition rays of the undead echoed in the corridor, and the blue electric light of the plasma was their own. A bright third color is added.

The entire corridor turned into a paradise of colors. The weapons of the empire and the undead were exchanging violent opinions, hitting each other with their powerful artillery fire, so that each other could "deeply" appreciate the power of their own weapons. , you know, the kind that is so profound that your flesh and blood explode.

The Marine's body was disintegrated after being hit by the disintegration ray. Green powder fell as the body collapsed amidst the screams. Eisenstein watched the dead Marine raise his gun and kill the undead that fired. He shouted at the guards behind him.

"Heavy weapons! We need heavy weapons!"

Colonel York was straddling the laser gun and firing on the other side. He squatted next to Lancelot's legs and fired with the hell gun. When the colonel heard Eisenstein's voice, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Bring up the heavy bombs." !”

Amid the fierce gunfire, seven or eight Marines came closer carrying heavy bolter machine guns. They completed the tripod deployment skillfully and extremely quickly. After the ammunition chain was inserted into the bolt, the machine gunner was ready, but just before Just before he was about to pull the bolt, a bolt of disintegrating lightning struck his head.

The gunman instantly turned into dust. His comrades were panicked and Colonel York rushed up. He handed the hell gun directly to one of his subordinates. He jumped into the shooting position and pulled the bolt. The colonel held the trigger and let the gunman The pride of the Mechanic Cult roared, and swift explosive bombs burst out along with the bullet chains flying up and down.

Rapid bolt fire hit Vito on both sides. He crouched down to avoid a bolt fired close to the face. The roaring bolt flew across the corridor and shattered the chest armor of an undead. As soon as the undead soldiers fell to the ground, some soulless soldiers filled the gap and continued shooting.

The guns and cannons from both sides shot over Vito and his men's heads and sides, but they avoided them just right, and they were not shot into sieves by the firepower of the enemy and our side. No, it was probably ash, and there might not be much ash left.

Tarasim looked at the dead army in front of him, and turned his head over Loken's shoulder to look at the Empire side that was firing. His laughter was completely out of place in the gunfire around him. "It seems that we acted very well. They didn't realize that we were not actually enemies. This is so interesting."

"Except for the possibility of being shot into sieves by our own people, we should move on to the next step." Vito said, raising his grenade gun and firing a shot in front of him. Bell beside him also looked at Vito with his gun. After receiving the latter's nod, the outstanding Ultramarines gunner lowered the muzzle.

Loken looked at Trazyn and nodded. He loosened his arms. Trazyn smiled softly and broke free from Loken's restraints in an instant. The Infinite One punched Loken in the face and made him retreat several steps. He raised his palm and pointed it at Loken, flashing a bright green light.

Loken reacted quickly and rolled back to avoid the death laser. Captain Gavier Loken rolled to avoid the laser and rolled into the gate of the Infinite Frontier. Vito nodded to Bell and turned around to rush towards the gate.

"Close the gate! Quick!" Vito shouted, facing the green light of decomposition from the Undead. Lancelot looked at Vito and saw the bright Eldar bomb in Bell's hand. He understood everything in an instant. He decisively pulled down the switch of the gate, and the heavy gate began to rumble down quickly.

Bell turned the knobs on both ends of the bomb, and then suddenly pressed them down at the same time. All the lines on the steel bars on both sides of the Eldar bomb that bound the crystal energy body lit up, and the constantly changing energy body suddenly shrank inward rapidly into a tiny singularity.

Bell threw the bomb out quickly, then turned around and rushed to the gate at the fastest speed possible. The gate was falling rapidly. If he was a little slower, he and Vito would have been blown to ashes along with the pier.

Therefore, the two ran a new speed record. While breaking the mortal and Astartes short-distance sprint record, they slid into the gate before the gate was completely lowered. Almost at the same time as they entered, the gate was completely lowered.

Taraxin looked at the gate falling in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the Eldar bomb falling and sighed, "Wow, it looks like I have to change my body."

As his voice fell, the bomb exploded, and the energy singularity in the Eldar psychic bomb instantly expanded, and the surging energy instantly broke through the crystal and swallowed everything in the pier.

With a flash of white light, Taraxin disappeared instantly, and the undead soldiers standing at the end of the pier also disappeared with the white light. The explosive energy storm rushed into the hall of the tomb ship and blew more undead soldiers into collapsed iron fragments. The tall black stone pillars all collapsed and broke.

Cole looked out from the bridge and saw the big explosion at the pier. The psychic explosion used instantly broke the corridor connecting the pier in half. The surging explosion swept the closest docking point between the Infinite Frontier and the Tomb Ship. The impact hit the warships of both sides and brought a sense of shock.

"Cole! Run now!" Vito's voice sounded from the communication channel. Captain Cole immediately nodded and looked at the helmsman Kent below, "Full speed ahead! Go to the open area to prepare for emergency jump!"

Old Kent immediately executed the order. He pulled down the long pull rod at hand and instantly pushed the pusher embedded in the golden skull to death. As the propulsion power in front of him soared instantly, the giant propulsion array at the end of the Infinite Frontier instantly stretched out a giant flame tens of kilometers long.

The orange-red jet flames approaching pale white pushed the warship forward at full speed. The Infinite Frontier quickly pulled out from the side of the Tomb Ship. The Mars-class battlecruiser, which was several kilometers long, rushed out of the encirclement with a striking propeller light band at the tail.

Kent held the rudder and turned right to turn. The auxiliary propulsion array on the belly of the Infinite Frontier instantly ignited. The warship quickly turned from the front of a dead harvester in front of it. As Kent pulled another long pull rod beside him, the warship plunged down.

The auxiliary propulsion array fired fiercely upward, and a long column of fire sprayed from the bottom of the end of the warship. The Infinite Frontier thus completed the turn and rushed towards the bottom of the Z axis. They rushed out from under the disk of the huge dead fleet.

The gravity life support system inside the warship is no longer friendly. Cole hit the handrail because of the gravity of the warship's downward dive route, but the captain still stood up with the handrail and shouted to the bird captain.

"Start the Geller stand! Emergency jump begins!" Cole ordered. Entering the subspace when diving at the Z axis? It seems that no one has ever done this before, but now someone has done it.

The bird commander faithfully executed the order without any hesitation. He quickly started the program and then slammed the eye-catching red button. As his other auxiliary mechanical arm pushed the lever, a circle of Geller field shields lit up around the warship, and the subspace cracks outside the bridge had already opened.

The Infinite Frontier plunged into the subspace rift, like a whale leaping into the abyss. As the last part of the ship also rushed into the subspace rift and then closed, the flames that were tens of kilometers long were also cut off.

On the Tomb Ship, Trazin walked to the edge of the huge arc-shaped window. The open green fluorescent coffin behind him allowed him to complete the transfer of consciousness. Now he has been reborn in another body. Just now The explosion only destroyed one of his countless spare bodies.

Trazin stood in front of the window and looked at the Infinite Frontier sailing into the subspace. He smiled softly at the disappearing battleship with his hands behind his back, "It's time for you to return to your place, my marshal."

Trazin's back was facing the starlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the backlit frontal body was completely shrouded in darkness, and in the darkness only those bright eyes were still shining.

"New era, new collection, new exhibits, don't let me down, old friend." His cold laughter echoed among the endless rows of black stone coffins and among the endless museum exhibits. between.
