Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor
Chapter 240 The Rise of the Primarch: The Choice of Destiny
Marius Augustus Calgar, the great war hero of the Empire, the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, is one of the three greatest Space Marines in the Empire. The other two are Chapter Master Dante of the Blood Angels and Wolf Lord Logan of the Space Wolves. Just by looking at these names, you can tell what kind of tough guys they are.
The burly blue giant stood up from the throne. His burly figure in Terminator armor was like a mountain. The rocks, cliffs and everything of the mountain range were made of steel. The Extreme Iron Fists equipped with two double-barreled explosive gauntlets were clenched on both sides of the body. The strong fingers crackled on the inside of the gauntlets, silently interpreting his strength.
The hazy light projected from behind the winged eagle colossus behind him shone on him. The Imperial Sky Eagle logo on the shoulder armor flashed with golden light. The red battle robe fell behind the steel body. Although his resolute face was beginning to age, his gray hair was still kept in a short haircut like all soldiers, reminding people at all times that he was still a soldier.
In the dim light, the right eye of Chapter Master Calgar flashed a red halo. His right eye had long been taken away by the Tyranid Overlord in the Tyranid War, but the Chapter Master tore the beast's body into pieces and replaced the former flesh and blood eyeball with this laser prosthetic eye. Just like himself, he smashed all the enemies of the Emperor with the power of the machine.
When facing such a great hero of the Empire, even the proud Crusader Knights of the Black Templar bowed their heads to him. Amalric took the lead in kneeling. He paid high respects to Chapter Master Calgar, and the brothers behind him knelt down together. Even Loken, although he did not know Calgar, could still see that he was a respectable warrior.
Loken and his brothers knelt down to salute Chapter Master Calgar. Bell was naturally in the front. He bowed his noble head to his Chapter Master. "Salute your glory, Chapter Master. It is my honor to see you again."
"It is also my honor, my brother. Raise your head. We don't have time to stick to these etiquette again." Chapter Master Calgar said in a deep voice. The voice was strong and powerful, like the core of a powerful Titan.
Bell nodded to the Chapter Master and stood up. The brothers behind him also stood up and looked at Calgar. The powerful Ultramarines Chapter Master lowered his head to look at Belisarius Cawl, and then immediately cast his resolute eyes on the two Eldar visitors. There was no trust in Calgar's eyes. This was not surprising. No one would believe in the Eldar.
"Bell, my good brother, we are of course very happy that you are back. In this difficult time, the arrival of any brother is worthy of celebration and encouragement." Sicarius's arm emerged from under the red cloak, and he walked to Calgar with his sword hilt pressed.
The powerful and noble captain of the second company looked at Aidalad and Evelyne, "But my brother, why did you bring two Eldar? Why did you bring them here to desecrate our temple?"
"No, brother, they are not here for me, but I hope everyone can listen to the words of the great sage and them." Bell looked around at the Ultramarines who entered from outside the hall. The veterans of the warband walked into the hall. They looked at these people in groups of two or three.
These people are honorary veterans of the warband, and many of them are as experienced as Calgar. Almost all the high-ranking officers of the warband who can come are here, which makes Bell feel a little fortunate, which means that this is a formal conversation.
Calgar raised his head, looked at the old soldiers around him who looked down at Bell, and then looked at Celestine and Vito, "Living Saint Celestine, in the name of the Emperor, you promised me before you arrived that what they said was what the Emperor wanted us to listen to, is that true? Is the information conveyed wrong?"
Celestine shook her head, she nodded affirmatively to the Calgar Chapter Captain, a pair of white wings slowly spread out behind her, "In the name of the Emperor, you and the warriors need to listen to this fate."
Calgar nodded solemnly, and then he looked at Vito and showed a rare smile, "I didn't know you would come, but on behalf of my Chapter and myself, I am grateful for your arrival, Inquisitor Vito, thank you for the fleet and reinforcements you brought."
"Even so, even if you don't bring reinforcements, the Ultramarines will always welcome your visit." Calgar raised the huge fist glove on his right hand and said, Vito smiled and nodded to him.
Calgar also nodded in approval, and then he looked at the visitors below with a serious expression. The Chapter Master gently placed his iron fist on his power armor iron foot, and looked at the visitors in front of him with a resolute face and powerful eyes.
"We are facing a war. I think the greetings will end here. Tell the words that need my brothers and I to listen to."
Celestine nodded, he looked at Cawl and nodded, the Mechanicus Archmagus turned his mechanical eyes and nodded slightly. He turned and walked to the throne and placed the Archmagus's scepter on the ground. The Archmagus lifted the only flesh and blood part covered by the red hood, and looked at Calgar with that half.
"I will be the first to tell the purpose of my visit. I, Belisarius Cawl, the Archmagus of the Mechanicus, came here to fulfill an ancient contract between me and the Ultramarines. This contract has a higher priority than some matters and must be executed."
Caul said in that weird voice. Chapter Commander Calgar frowned at him. His gray hair looked so gray in the dim sunlight, "The Ultramarines have never signed any contract with the Mechanicum of Mars. Sage, neither I nor any of my brothers have ever been like this.”
"What?!" Marshal Amalric shouted angrily. He strode forward and glared at Caul. "You said that thing of yours is an ancient contract with the Ultramarines and must be protected. You asked us to protect you and that person at all costs. East and West broke out, and all my Black Templar cousins returned to the throne because of this, but is this a lie? "
Amalric roared and pulled out the power sword. He glared at the Great Sage with an angry look, almost ready to kill Caul's head at any moment. "So many brothers died heroically, fighting to the death with the traitors for your rags, but the truth is Is it your lie that your cowardly heart wants to escape?"
"Answer me, Great Sage!" Amalric shouted as he clenched his power sword. Caul slowly turned his head to look at Amalric. At Vito's nod, Lancelot and Ragnar stepped forward to hold him. He killed Amalric to prevent him from doing something irreversible in a flash of his mind.
Caul looked at Amalric who was being held by two brothers and was struggling to hack him to death without any fear. The Great Sage just calmly turned his head and looked at Chapter Leader Calgar again, "This agreement, It was not signed by you or your former Chapter Master. My agreement was signed thousands of years ago by Lord Roboute Guilliman, the sole leader of the Ultramarines, the Thirteenth Son of the Emperor, and the Imperial Regent. ”
Caul rolled his mechanical eyes, and mixed voices came out from the microphone one by one, "According to the request of the original body, I, Caul, accepted a mission. If Lord Guilliman falls in the battle, I will do it at any cost." Save him."
The Great Sage of the Mechanicus pointed to the floating trailer parked outside the hall in the distance. Everyone looked at the huge thing. It was dragging a huge box on its body. The alloy iron box protected the cargo in layers. The level of protection is amazing.
"Since Lord Guilliman was stabbed by a poisonous blade ten thousand years ago and fell into a long sleep in a stasis position, I have been looking for a way to fulfill my mission. Now, after ten thousand years of exploration and forging, I have finally completed my mission. , I created the Destiny Armor."
"It is a set of advanced mobile life-support equipment that condenses my thousands of years of knowledge. It is not only equipped with countless advanced weapons, equipment and programs, it can also effectively resist the venom in Lord Guilliman's body, allowing Guilliman to My lord has awakened from his eternal sleep.”
Kaul turned his completely mechanized head and looked at the throne. Calgar frowned. The second company commander and think tank director on the left and right also subconsciously moved closer behind Calgar. The three ultramarines looked down at Kaul.
The Great Sage of the Mechanicum looked at them and raised his mechanical palm, and the only part of his face also frowned a little. Caul's mechanical fingers were fully grasped one by one, "And now, I am Come to fulfill my mission, I will resurrect Lord Guilliman and return the Son of Vengeance to the Empire."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was amazed. The surrounding Ultramarines immediately started talking loudly. The veterans faced each other and discussed this breaking news. Even Sicarius, who was usually arrogant and arrogant on the throne, They all showed shocked expressions.
Sicarius and Orseus looked at each other, both looking at Caul with an incredulous expression. The burly Ultramarines Chapter Leader in front of them remained calm. He stared at Caul, looking at the only The part of the human face, looking at the flesh and blood eyes that became bright and vivid.
Caul seemed to "come alive". The human face broke through all the procedures and dogmas of the Mechanicus. He showed the excitement, joy and pride of human beings, and the eyes that were originally as dull as machines Becoming energetic, Calga looked into those eyes and nodded.
"What you said is not a lie, I can see it." Calgar said, but just as he was about to say something, Eldarad walked up, and the great prophet in gray-blue robes walked out from among the crowd. Everyone made way for him as the Space Marines passed each other, and the Prophet walked to the throne.
"If you want to resurrect Guilliman, armor alone is not enough. The Armor of Destiny may save his body, but his soul and spirit cannot be saved." Eldarad raised a hand and said, Sicarius Si watched him press the hilt of his sword impatiently.
"Let's get to the point, Eldar, I don't want to hear your riddles." Sicarius yelled. The leader of the Calgar Chapter glanced at Sicarius, and then at Celestine, who affirmatively asked Chapter Zhang nodded, and after a moment of silence, Calgar turned to look at Eldarad in front of him.
"I shouldn't have allowed you to appear here. I should have killed you immediately, but now, someone has vouched for you, so to put it bluntly, we don't have that much patience."
Adalad nodded slightly and leaned forward. He looked very humble. His attitude even made Vito wonder if he had drank fake wine today. Is this still Adalad? But the prophet did exactly that.
Eldarad raised his blue eyes, and he looked at Calgar with his starry eyes, "We are here to help, we can help you truly resurrect Guilliman and let the Son of Vengeance return to the mortal world. "
"What should we do specifically? Prophet." Orseus took a step forward and said. He didn't seem to be so hostile to Aidalad. Aidalad nodded politely to Orseus, and at the same time, I Freni also stepped forward, and the Ultramarines all looked at this beautiful Eldar.
Sicarius watched her raise her head proudly, "An Eldar woman? How interesting. What can she do? Dance for the Primarch?"
Ephrene looked at Sicarius who was smiling proudly and smiled, "For example, this woman can save your original body? What do you think of this?"
Orseus stared at Sicarius and told him to shut up. The second company commander waved his hand and stepped back. The think tank of the battle group looked at Efreni and Eldarad and nodded to apologize, "Please forgive me. My brother, he’s not very good at dealing with outsiders, please go ahead.”
"It doesn't matter. After all, I guess you will react better after listening to the method." Ephrene placed her hands on her hips and smiled. He looked at Calgar with a faint smile. "To resurrect Guilliman, I have to kill him first." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became serious as soon as the word "kill" appeared. The warm atmosphere brought by the news of the original body's resurrection froze instantly. In almost the blink of an eye, all the surrounding Ultramarines drew their weapons. A dozen bolt guns were pointed at Efreni and Eldarad at the same time.
The sound of explosive bombs being loaded crackled, and Sicarius, who was behind Calgar, also instantly drew out his power sword. He strode forward and stepped on the downward stairs to point the sword blade at Everene, but the latter It seemed that she was not surprised at all, she just looked at the Ultramarines with murderous intentions around her with her arms folded.
"Look, what did I say?" Efreni joked, while Eldarad took a step closer to the throne and explained, "We don't really want to kill Guilliman, Efreni has the God of Death. power, but only when Guilliman is close to death."
"We will bring back Guilliman's soul when he is near death and revive the spirit of the Vengeful Sons, please believe me."
"Stop the alien!" Sicarius yelled and put the tip of the sword on Eldarad's neck. The prophet was forced to stop in front of the throne. He looked at Sicarius who was standing on the steps holding the sword with one hand. Si, who looked at Adarad with murderous intent and suspicion.
Sicarius turned to look at Calgar, who said nothing but looked at Eldarad coldly, "We can't believe anything they say! The Eldar can only lie! We should kill them now and let them Pay the price for your blasphemous content!”
"Brother, calm down! There will be a reasonable explanation." Bell stepped forward to dissuade him. Sicarius raised his head and stared at Bell angrily. He clenched his fists and shouted loudly, "Bell, are you out of your mind?! You've been shot. ! Since you want us to believe in a spirit clan!"
"Calm down Sicarius, you can't be arrogant and arrogant at this time!" Bell stepped forward and said. Sicarius was stunned and immediately pulled out his bolt gun. He pointed the gun at Yi, who was sighing helplessly. Phryne.
"I am the company commander Bell! You are not! It's not your turn to tell me what to do!" Sicarius said proudly, as if he wanted everyone to hear clearly.
"I, Cato Sicarius, captain of the second company of the Ultramarines, champion swordsman of the chapter, Lord of the Watch, champion of Macragge Knights, high-ranking suzerain of Ultramar and Grand Duke of Tal L, no need Someone tell me what to do!"
Vito looked at the chaos in front. He stood behind and looked at Bell and Sicarius who were scolding each other. Vito turned his eyes and looked at Adarad who was standing in front of the throne with a sword pointed at his neck.
Celestine, who was beside him, also watched the farce. The little angel turned to look at Vito, "Do you believe him?" the little angel asked softly. Vito looked at the little angel's golden eyes and was silent for a moment. Finally he raised his eyes to look at her and nodded affirmatively.
"I believe him." "Okay, I understand."
After saying this, Celestine turned her head and closed her eyes. She was silent for a moment and suddenly opened her eyes. As her eyes opened, a golden light exploded instantly. The holy wings spread out and projected the holy light to the surroundings. , the powerful psychic impact instantly set off a strong wind in the room.
The hurricane swept through the surrounding warriors. They all raised their hands to block the strong wind. The strong wind swept up from the steps and fluttered Sicarius's exquisite red robe. The flying red robe was fluttered in front of Calgar. Standing up, the Chapter Leader looked at the raised shirt without saying a word, but his eyes looked at Celestine through the fallen shirt.
Sicarius also looked up at Celestine, his sword and bolter hanging slightly. Bell was also startled and turned his head to look behind him. Everyone saw Celestine floating in the air with his wings spread. .
The living saint flew up, her toes lifted off the ground and hung in the air, her golden eyes shone with divine light, the black hair hanging down on her shoulders flew with the golden light, and a golden light glowed from the root of the black hair. , those light particles surged forward along the hair bundles, and Celestine's hair also turned silver-white with the golden light covering it.
The holy silver hair was flying behind her head. Celestine held the flaming sword and stared at everyone with a blazing light. The power that came directly from the emperor himself calmed the tense atmosphere, but it was not Celestine who finally spoke. Lustin, but Vito.
Vito walked towards the throne from the back row. Loken stepped aside and looked at Vito who was walking in front of him. Lancelot and Ragnar, who had Amalric on their left and right, also looked at Vito in surprise. Even just now Amalric, who was still cursing for them to let go, also stopped, and the three of them stared at Vito walking by.
Vito Constantine walked to the throne with his hands behind his back under the eyes of all the soldiers around him and on the scene. Calga looked at Vito in silence, while the latter looked up at Calga's eyes. The two calm men looked at each other. With.
"You can't miss this opportunity, Calga."
"Inquisitor! What are you talking about?! You want us to accept the conspiracy of these aliens?! Even you can't." Sicarius looked at Vito and yelled.
"Shut up, you bastard!" Vito glared at him, and his intimidating eyes instantly calmed Sicarius, who subconsciously stepped back.
The second captain looked around at his brothers. He was furious. He could not allow his honor to be insulted. Sicarius stared at Vito and raised his power sword, "I cannot allow you to humiliate me, humiliate me." My warband and glory!"
"Shut up young man, before I am completely angered by you." A voice said, and Vito and everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, which came from a burly warrior wearing golden armor.
Drantius, the Emperor's Custodian walked towards the throne holding a halberd. He spun the golden halberd in a circle with one arm, and the blade drew a round silver circle in the air. He suddenly grabbed the handle of the gun and hit it on the ground. , the Emperor's Custodian stood behind Vito and stared at Sicarius, staring at everyone around him.
"He is the voice of the Emperor. He is the Marshal of the Emperor. In the name of the Emperor, I command you to shut your stinking mouths and listen to his words quietly!" Delantius angrily held the halberd with both hands. "Contemptuously, I am contemptuous of the emperor. Otherwise, I will kill those who are disrespectful!"
Sicarius was stunned. He hesitated to speak but finally chose to shut up quietly. Sicarius put away his weapon and quietly stepped aside. Calga glanced at Sicarius, and then looked directly at him. Vito in front of me.
Vito took a long breath after seeing the surroundings quiet down, and then looked at Calgar, "Calgar, this may be a lie, but if it is true, Guilliman can really be resurrected this time, but you personally killed him." Can you really shoulder this responsibility if you miss this opportunity?"
"You personally ruined the only chance to resurrect the original body, can you bear it?" Vito said softly, the surrounding ultramarines looked at each other, Orseus frowned and looked at the chapter leader aside, Calga looked at calmly Vito looked on without saying a word.
Vito pointed sideways at Celestine, "She can bring back the souls of the dead who are loyal to the Emperor. The little angel can resurrect the dead. Although I don't know if it will be useful to the original body, I believe she can at least guarantee Guilliman." Not completely dead."
Calga looked up at Celestine, who was suspended in the air and nodded slightly. In fact, this was fake. Celestine didn't know if she could do it, but she believed in Vito unconditionally, and that was all.
"But the Eldar have many ways to devour and steal souls. How can we ensure that they will not take the opportunity to carry out their conspiracy?" Orseus asked on the side, and his question was indeed right.
Vito looked at Orseus, and he turned to look at Adarad behind him. The latter nodded to him affirmatively and told him to let it go. Vito then looked at Orseus again.
"If the Eldar want to do something like this, whether they use magic or soul stones, they need to be on the scene. If they do that, kill them and get Guilliman's soul back."
Orseus looked at Vito and silently looked at Eldarad behind him, who nodded to him and Calga, "If you suspect that we did that, I will gladly accept death."
Vito looked into Calga's eyes. The Chapter Master's resolute eyes looked at the man in front of him. He always looked at him, and no one else even looked at him.
"What's your choice? Calga, believe me, or don't believe me?" Vito said softly. Everyone around looked at Calga, and he gave his answer after a long silence.
"I can make the decision."
