Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

"Wow, I didn't expect that since you convinced these guys, I thought it would take a little more blood." Everene walked around with her hands behind her back and looked around at the buildings around her. Those buildings were dominated by sea blue. Buildings made of white gold, milky white marble and red tapestries stand around.

"Calgar is a smart man, he can understand these things, I am not worried about things." Vito said as he stepped on the pink and white diamond ground, surrounded by a circle of ultramarine guards, blue The Sekaijia giants walked on both sides. They said they were protecting them, but in fact they were more like monitoring them.

At this time, Vito and his entourage, as well as the Honor Guards brought by Calgar as "protectors", were walking on the streets of Ultramar. In the past, there were always crowds of people here, and there would be many vendors selling goods on the roadside. , the shouts are as loud and lasting as the bells of the magnificent temple ahead. This place has always been very lively in the past. After all, this is the pilgrimage road leading to the place where Guilliman sleeps.

The streets here are made extremely wide, enough for dozens of ultramarines to pass side by side, or for an armored company of tanks to drive side by side. In normal times, this wide road is used for pilgrims.

In peacetime, there are always many pilgrims here. Devout believers from all over the empire come here from far away. They will form endless roaming teams, stretching from here to the gate of the City of Glory. Outside, a line of pilgrims stretching for several kilometers will slowly walk towards the main temple, reciting hymns and holding numerous faith flags high.

Over the years, those devout believers will let the smoke of chants and incense burners fill the streets. As long as you get close here, you can smell the smell of cigarettes, jasmine, violets, water nymphs or scarlet roses, etc.

The powder of smoke and dust is constantly sprinkled from the incense burner, and the pink ashes are sprinkled on the white road underfoot. With the years of trampling, grinding and the passage of time, its color finally merges with the ground, making the ground of this avenue Different places show different colors, so this avenue is also called the Rainbow Road.

But the situation is very different these days. In the past, the streets that were always filled with pilgrims and vendors selling goods were empty. The stalls were all empty. The commercial streets and hotels along the streets on both sides were also empty. There is chilling and deathly silence that remains.

The once fragrant streets are now extremely pungent and unbearable. The fragrance of the incense burners has been replaced by the gas fired from countless anti-aircraft artillery. Countless war machines are operating at full capacity to expel the foul smell.

Even the sky of Macragge, which used to be clear and clear in the past, was covered with a layer of haze. The flames of the explosion flickered in the sky, and the surface of the void shield covering the city was filled with seas of fire. Those unsettling fires continued to illuminate the surrounding roads along the avenue. The towering marble columns illuminate the golden garlands on them.

Vito looked at the Great Temple at the end of the avenue. It was a magnificent Roman-style palace. Outside it was a circle of huge stone pillars. Those milky white marble pillars extended from the front door of the temple, along the long stairs. The two sides extend all the way down to the end of the avenue.

On those stone pillars, the flag of Ultramar is flying on one side, and the Eagle flag of the Empire is flying on the other side. This symbolizes Macragge's belonging and their continued loyalty to the Empire.

Vito looked at a series of anti-aircraft fires rising from behind the Great Temple. A series of long and thin barrages were fired towards the sky. The shells kept turning and drew a barrage arc in the air.

This place reminded Vito of an old place in his memory. Berlin, Germany, was like this in 1945. It was the end of the Third Reich, but he didn't know if today would be the end of Macragge.

"You have achieved a miracle, my old friend." Eldarad walked to Vito with his hands clasped on his abdomen. Vito glanced at Eldalad. Behind them was a whole row of stars. The warriors, Ragnar and Lancelot were discussing the surrounding buildings and having an in-depth discussion about the "artistic" nature of these buildings.

Loken was with Delantius and Caul. These members of the Ten Thousand Years Club were talking to each other, looking back on the past, and reminiscing about history.

Olaf was with Marshal Amalric, and the two veterans were talking about each other's military past. In short, although the situation above them did not look good, at least everyone on Vito's side was in a good mood.

"I knew you were the only one who could convince the Ultramarines, which is why I called you to Macragge." Eldarad spoke in Gothic with an elegant, high-pitched accent. Obviously she is better than Efrenie in this regard. Although Efrenie now dresses like an Eldar dignitary, her Gothic language still has a strong pirate accent.

"Persuasion is the first step, but I hope you can really do it, Eldar, otherwise we are doomed." Celestine said and landed next to Vito, her wings closed behind her.

"If you fail or deceive Calgar, then I guess your death will be ugly." Celestine said, and Eldarad looked at Celestine with a smile, and he nodded.

"Please rest assured, Miss Celestine, what we said is definitely not a lie. Evelene has fully mastered the power given by the God of Death and can skillfully use the skills of the soul, and we have even paid a lot of price for it. "

"What's the price?" Vito asked with interest. Eldarad was about to describe it more euphemistically, but Efreni obviously didn't like the roundabout Eldar-style expression, so she just grabbed it. Opportunity to open up.

"I pulled out the old woman's sword on the way back to Beltane's Ark. The power of Death was completely controlled by me, but the ark in my hometown was considered useless." Efreni said, pulling out the sword that destroyed half of the family. Ark's sword, Vito raised his eyebrows and looked at the slender blade.

The silver-white sword has a circle of ancient Eldar patterns, and the hilt is also very unique. It seems to be made of a kind of metal-like wood that grows naturally. The intricate appearance cannot be carved by craftsmen.

The weapon looked very unique, as if it was alive. Vito squinted his eyes and carefully observed the sword, but he didn't gain much. In the end, he cast a questioning look at Eldarad.

The Great Prophet smiled and nodded slightly to Vito, "This weapon is said to have been forged by the fingers of Moiraine, the wife of the Blood God Kane. She hopes to gain the wisdom in her blood, but only Kane can harm her. , so she asked her daughters to torture their father Kane with screams. If she wanted to end this torture, Kane must cut off Moiraine's fingers and let her drink his blood. "

"In the end, Kane agreed to take action, and Moiraine Heg gained the wisdom in her blood, and her five amputated fingers turned into the old woman's sword. This is one of them, called the Elayne Sword. The sword is inserted into Beltan's Ark circuit and serves as the core of the Ark's spiritual network."

Eldarad explained, while Vito and Celestine looked at each other. After thinking for a moment, they turned their heads to look at Eldarad, "Your Eldar God is really very personal."

Efreni shrugged. She turned the Sword of Elayne, as if the bone blade was spinning in her palm and tearing the surrounding air. The tip of the blade seemed to be releasing psychic power all the time, which was enough to cover a small area. of tearing space.

"When I pulled it out, the spiritual network exploded, and almost all the souls in the circuit of the Ark were devoured by Slaanesh." Efreni said, while Eldarad smiled awkwardly, and he forced himself to interrupt. Cut off Eveleni’s embarrassing self-report.

"We remedied it in time and rescued all the souls with a sufficient amount of soul stones. We injected those soul stones into the ghost structure. Now our compatriots can walk among us again."

"It sounds like you almost killed an Ark, and finally pulled the already dead Eldar to work overtime, but well, at least I hope you won't make such a big splash this time." Vito shrugged. Said, Eldarad nodded repeatedly, "I promise you it won't be, old friend." "I hope so."

Vito said and looked at Bell in front of him. He was walking at the front of the team, walking alone. Vito looked at him and nodded to Celestine and Eldarad and walked up quickly.

Bell looked at the Great Temple with countless anti-aircraft fires rising in the distance. He was in a low mood and his expression was gloomy. Vito walked up to him, patted his gauntlet and said with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong? You act like your father is dead. Your father is still alive and well, and he will be able to stand up soon." Vito really made such an outrageous joke. I strongly suggest that you don't make fun of the Space Marines. Make a joke like this, really, and you won't like the possible consequences.

Bell watched as Vito looked up gloomily at the cloud-covered sky. The airflow and dust from the explosion covered the blue sky of the entire world.

"My homeland is under siege, and countless of my compatriots have died in the war. Although the Primarch is about to rise, I fear that we have let him down."

"How will he feel when he sees this scene in front of him?" Bell said emotionally. He was like a child who failed in the exam and was now going to meet his father.

Vito patted his arm encouragingly with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, we will get rid of these bitches soon, and believe me, Guilliman has done a lot of stupid things."

"Master Primarch, have you ever done such a stupid thing?" Bell asked doubtfully, while Vito had a sly smile on his face. He rubbed his palms with a wicked smile, "I'll tell you slowly later, one by one. "

The group of people quickly walked up the steps of the Great Temple. They entered the Great Temple following Captain Calgar. After passing through the temple guards outside the golden embossed door, they entered the temple. hall.

Vito followed Calga into the hall. It was not that he had never been here before, but after all, it was quite shocking to enter here again after so many years.

This sacred palace is almost as splendid as the Emperor's Palace on Terra. The Ultramarines used all their wealth, gems and gold to decorate it artistically.

Magnificent statues stand directly on both sides as support pillars. The statues of space warriors holding magic weapons stand like silent guards. Above their heads are circles of curved dome beams. There are a total of ten beams across the huge space. There are huge flags hanging from each of the curved beams of the palace.

It was a flag that perfectly corresponded to the ten companies of the Ultramarines. Not only were the flags of the Ultramarines, there were countless flags hanging against the walls on both sides of the grand hall. Those huge flags hanging high above the heads were densely packed. Arranged, those are the flags of all the registered Ultramarines sub-regiments, even those that have completely disappeared have a place here.

Thousands of Guilliman's descendants have stored their spirits here, beside their father for thousands of years, and now, their father is sitting in a still position at the end of the hall.

Calgar walked to the stationary stand. The stationary stand was quite different from the floor of the hall. The platform was entirely made of the most precious wood. Its preciousness was enough to make any imperial nobles daunted, but the Ultramarines still used a huge amount of time to build it. Got that high platform.

The upper and lower parts are connected by curved stairs on both sides. Red carpets are paved on the surface of those wide stairs. In the middle of the two curved stairs is an eagle with spread wings. The golden eagle spreads its wings and steps on a planet. , the Legion emblem of the Ultramarines is imprinted on the surface of the planet.

That's right, it's the Legion emblem. Have you forgotten when this place was built?

Calga took the lead and knelt down under the high platform. All the Ultramarines knelt down at the same time. Even Sicarius knelt down without any hesitation. Bell next to Vito knelt down on one knee. All the warriors knelt down toward the sleeping The genetic father surrendered.

Vitor looked up at the sleeping Guilliman. He was still sitting on the throne wearing the power armor. On his knees, the flaming holy sword of the Emperor himself was placed flat on his knees, but due to the static position, The reason is that the pause button seems to have been pressed on the flames, and the blazing flames freeze in the air and look weird.

Vito looked at Guilliman's face. He was still the same as he remembered, handsome, young and resolute. He had not changed at all, both externally and internally. Looking at his face, Vito suddenly felt that the world had changed. , time is so weird, ten thousand years have passed, but it seems that time has not passed at all.

Calgar stood up. He turned to look at Caul like a mountain. The suspension equipment vehicle behind him also entered the hall. "Go and put on the armor for the original body. When the static force field disappears, you only have one minute to assemble it." Good armor, or the blood of the poison blade will kill him."

"And you, the Eldar, I will be supervising when you perform your ritual." Calga said and walked up to Efreni. Calga, who was more than four meters tall, stood over her like a mountain. The intense pressure in front of me is almost suffocating.

"If you make the slightest move that makes me suspicious, Eldar, I will kill you immediately." Calgar growled, and he raised his iron fist and pointed it at Efreni's chest. Pointing, the latter looked at him with a sneer and disdain.

"So you'd better be careful and consider your actions carefully, Eldar woman." "I don't need you to teach me, Tin Can, we don't have much time, let's get started, Oil Man."

Efreni waved her hand as she spoke, Caul nodded slightly to Vito and then led the suspended flatbed truck towards the high platform. Calga looked at the two people walking by with clenched fists and looked at Sicarius, the second company Chang Ye walked up, pressing the hilt of his sword.

"Be alert to everything around you while I supervise them." "As you command, Chapter Master."

Sicarius saluted and said. Calgar nodded slightly and stopped a moment before he was about to go up the steps. He was interrupted by a rush of communication. Calgar stopped, Caul and Efreni also stopped. , the latter has already climbed several steps.

They turned to look at Calgar. The Chapter Master tilted his head and listened to the hoarse communicator. Almost at the same time, Vito's communicator also rang. He immediately raised his wrist and put it to his ear.

"What's wrong Cole?" Vito asked.

"Report the situation Mikael." Calga said to his communicator. After a burst of hoarse radio wave interference, the voice of the communicator was finally audible, and Mikael's voice came quickly from there.

"Chapter Commander, the Chaos Fleet is conducting a suicide attack on the City of Glory! We detected several Chaos warships falling into the atmosphere under gunfire!" Mikael's voice shouted.

"Those bastards are going to use orbital impact to force their way through the void shield, those lunatics, we severely damaged their ships but they fell straight into the atmosphere, Vito! If you're in the hall, get out of there immediately!"

Cole's voice shouted from the communicator. Vito raised his head and looked at the sky through the stained glass window on the dome. He looked at the burning battleship breaking through the clouds and made a brief summary.

"Damn, they really know how to play."
