Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Vito still remembers that the first time he came to Sosa was during the Great Expedition. At that time, they heard that in the frontier galaxy in the far east of the Milky Way, there was a great monarch who was knowledgeable, talented, benevolent and just. He was tall and powerful. To be honest, , every original body is easy to identify, isn’t it? I mean, not many people in the human race can grow to 4, 5, 6 meters tall.

So the Emperor immediately recognized who Guilliman was, and immediately ordered the fleet to turn to the Macragge Starfield. Vito was still the Supreme Marshal of the Imperial Army, Navy and Space Marine Legion at the time, so he followed him. Vitor was present at nearly all of the Primarch's returns.

After Macragge's not-so-earth-shattering father-son encounter, Vito took some time to survey the surrounding star field with his fleet. After all, this was the border of the Milky Way. Vito thought at that time that Transform this place into a fortress world like Cadia.

But of course, as the Five Hundred Worlds were later placed under the control of Guilliman, the King of the Far East decisively rejected Vito's large-scale construction and reconstruction plan, but insisted on retaining the natural environment of the entire Five Hundred Worlds, leaving this place alone Ten thousand years from now, it will still be the most beautiful galaxy in the entire empire.

When Vito first came to Sosa, it was just an uninhabited planet on the edge of the Milky Way, an unknown planet without even long-term residents. Even the flora and fauna on this planet were very rare, and there were only a few valleys called There are lots of greenery in the area, while the rest is barren and barren wilderness.

Even the word Sousa means "the land of nothing". You can see how miserable it was back then.

Back then, Sosa was just a small transit station on the eastern border, providing limited supplies and a resting place for traveling traders, adventurers, and scientific research fleets traveling from north to south. Almost no one would notice this unknown planet. .

Especially during the Great Rebellion, this place became deserted after the Night Lords besieged Sousa and the Shadow Crusade. However, Guilliman later granted this place to the 117th Company of the Ultramarines Legion for permanent garrison. This company was later called The warbands for the Emperor's Scythe make their home here.

Unlike their name, their scythes were only used to harvest those enemies of the Emperor, but they were very concerned with their home world and developed the superior management and construction talents of all Guilliman's descendants. They have been united for thousands of years. The Adeptus Mechanicus transformed this place into a livable garden world.

When Vito passed by here again a thousand years later, what he saw was no longer a barren land and large craters after orbital bombing, but a land full of vitality and beauty, with magnificent primeval forests scattered across the continent. At the foot of every towering mountain range, green grasslands cover the once barren land, and the craters caused by orbital bombing have either been filled in or transformed into beautiful artificial lakes.

Vito still remembers sitting on the edge of the forest, feeling the breeze blowing on his cheeks and the warm sunshine shining on his face, listening to the rustling of the forest in the wind, staring at the beautiful blue lake and the rushing mountains and rivers. Magnificent waterfall.

This place made Vito homesick at the time. He seemed to have returned to the place where he grew up, the beautiful land in the Greek Islands. It brought back many memories for Vito, but when he came back again at the end of these 41 millennia, When he came to this land, he knew that the beautiful Sousa was gone just like the hometown he remembered.

Those beautiful lands and forests were destroyed by bombings, the towering mountains and rivers were turned into crumbling rubble, and the lush green grasslands were flattened by blazing flames and ruthless war machines. Under the ravages of the army of destruction, this place changed as it did thousands of years ago. It became a place of death.

Life has been driven away from here, and only death remains. Vito's small planet far away in the Milky Way, even though it is tens of thousands of kilometers away, you can still see the flames rising up with the explosion on it, those soaring into the sky. The fierce fire almost rushed out of the atmosphere, burning everything.

"Same as ten thousand years ago, Loken, almost exactly the same as ten thousand years ago." Vito said standing in front of the window, Loken stood behind him and looked at Sousa in the distance, his pupils reflected the explosions , and the Chaos Fleet floating on the surface of the planet like ink.

Loken sighed with regret, "I just hope that this won't be the same as we did back then, Marshal." "Then it depends on our performance, Cole, and the results of the astrology scan."

As Vito spoke, he turned around and looked at Cole in front of the holographic image. He and Captain Eisenstein were looking at the projection of the Sosa planet in front of them. As the scan progressed, everything about the planet began to become clearer. From a blurry sphere to an extremely clear battlefield hologram.

Cole turned to look at Vito and nodded. He turned back and continued to look at the star in front of him, and Vito also walked to the holographic image with Loken.

Cole pointed to the extremely high-definition scan of the planet in front of him. The Infinite Frontier's scanner has been greatly enhanced after receiving the blessing of radar from the Great Expedition era. Its scanning accuracy has far exceeded all existing Imperial warships. So what they see is not the mosaic resolution picture that most navies see, but a true 4K high-definition picture.

"There are two news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Cole asked, Vito looked at the holographic projection in front of him with his hands on his hips. Each red dot on it is a real-time The bombing occurred, and now the projection is full of red dots, densely stacked on top of each other.

Vito looked at the picture with a smile and quickly reviewed all the key information on it. "It's so classic. Let me tell you the good news first."

"The good news is that as we expected, the Emperor's Scythe Chapter is indeed still resisting. They are resisting tenaciously in the construction of the church in Sotha Mountain." Cole zoomed in on the hologram to that area with a wave of his finger. , Omega assisted on the side, his mechanical tentacles were inserted into the card slot, and the system and data information were like a part of his body.

As the map zoomed in, the towering mountains appeared in front of Vito. At the foot of the mountains was the monastery gate of the Emperor's Scythe Chapter. A fierce blocking battle was going on outside the towering city walls and the magnificent gate.

"Lord Cirsius, Chapter Master of the Emperor's Scythe, is currently leading the Space Marines and the mortal auxiliary troops withdrawn from the surrounding planets, struggling to resist the Chaos army that successfully landed in the wasteland. According to our scans It is shown that the main participants in the attack are the Night Lords rebel army."

Vito nodded and held his chin thoughtfully. He turned to look at Omega, "Octopus, is the fortress' void shield still complete?"

"I remind you again, Marshal, please don't call me the name of a flesh-and-blood creature like Octopus, and yes, the Fortress Void Shield is still intact." Omega said word by word, and the mechanical sound came from his sound generator. Jump out word by word.

"The strength of the void shield can still be maintained, but I suggest that the war be ended as soon as possible to avoid overloading the void shield after continuous bombing. The current energy spectrum scan has shown that the energy supply of the void shield has been maximized, which is very dangerous."

Vito nodded, and then he raised his head and looked at the black spike on the top of Sosa Mountain. The huge spike tower was very huge, and its size was as big as a destroyer. It stood on the top of the mountains. , like a sharp spear piercing the sky.

"Where is the lighthouse? Is there any damage?" Vito asked. A long stream of data passed over Omega's eyes. He shook his head. "According to the scan results, there is no sign of damage, but due to the mountain Interference with the void shield makes it impossible to detect the specific situation on the inside of the mountain. It is recommended to log in for inspection. "

Vito nodded and turned to look at Cole. The latter waved his hand and the image quickly shrunk to the size of the planet. As Cole tapped his finger on the surface of the planet, dense projections of chaos warships appeared in front of him. .

Vito looked at the Chaos battleships surrounding the planet. Cole pointed at the ships and said, "This is the bad news I said. Chaos has completely sealed Sosa, without any flaws."

Cole's fingers slid across the equator of the planet, and as the planet rotated, countless huge fleets also rotated. Vito looked at those ships one by one.

"The Chaos Fleet has blocked all orbits from near earth to far earth. We can't even get close. We can only park the Infinite Frontier at its current location. If we get close, we will be discovered immediately and be sieved by concentrated fire."

Cole said and retracted his finger, and the rotating planet stabilized. Vito looked at the planet thoughtfully with his chin in his hands, while Cole looked at the completely locked orbit with his hands behind his back, "We can't If you deliver it to the landing distance, no aircraft can pass through the blockade without being discovered. Landing on Sousa is tantamount to death. "

"The premise is that we are discovered, and the premise of being discovered is that Chaos will notice us, right?" Vito said with a smile, pointing to the things that kept falling from the planet's atmosphere, which were red dots that kept appearing suddenly and looked like Shooting stars one after another, "What are those?"

Cole frowned slightly as he looked at those things, but soon realized what those things were, "Those are enemy and enemy ships that were destroyed in previous space battles. Their wreckage is suspended around the planet, and sometimes it is destroyed by the planet itself. After being captured by gravity, it fell into the atmosphere.”

"What are you thinking?" Cole looked at Vito differently, and the latter showed an evil smile. Loken on the side took a breath after seeing it.

"No, Marshal, you don't want to." "That's right, Loken, that's what I was thinking about."

"Sorry to interrupt you, what are you talking about? What's that move?" Cole asked in confusion, Vito smiled jokingly, and Loken sighed silently and rubbed his neck.

"The marshal plans to let us hide in the wreckage of those warships and fall into the atmosphere with them to avoid the vigilance of Chaos." Loken said helplessly, Eisenstein frowned and Cole looked at Wei in shock. Tuo, he slapped the table and shouted in annoyance.

"Are you crazy?! The wreckage in the atmosphere will quickly hit the surface, and you are likely to be smashed together with the wreckage!"

"Just break away before the impact. We will drive on the Thunderhawk and break away from the end of the wreckage after it falls into the atmosphere to complete the penetration." Vito waved his hand and said, as if he was no big deal about this almost crazy plan.

Cole was speechless and held his forehead. He had forgotten that Vito was so crazy regardless of whether he was a marshal or not. But when Cole was speechless, Eisenstein stepped forward and nodded.

"This plan is indeed feasible, Marshal. During the Beast Wars, Chapter Commander Thane used similar tactics to hit Ullanor, giving the greenskins a sudden and heavy blow."

Eisenstein said, still frowning, and he looked at the wreckage suspended in the universe, "But this plan has a premise. We need to have the best pilot in the entire galaxy, who can escape from the impact of the rapidly descending wreckage. atmosphere without stalling and crashing, and such pilots are hard to find.”

Vito laughed, pointed at himself with a thumbs up, and said boastfully, "No, because the best pilot in the entire galaxy is right in front of you."
