Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 242 The Rise of the Primarch: The Rise of Guilliman

Sirens reverberated throughout the city, and scarlet police lights flashed inside and outside the headquarters of Extreme Fortress. The entire headquarters was now in chaos. Everyone was running back and forth in a hurry. Noises and curses were heard one after another. Before that, the darkness The high morale upon the arrival of the angel fleet suddenly fell to the bottom.

Amidst the chaotic noise, Mikael rushed to the balcony outside. The company commander pressed his hand on the stone handrail and looked at the sky above his head. Eisenstein also strode out of the command post, and he also raised his head. Looking at the brighter firelight in the clouds overhead, the thing was approaching rapidly.

"Knock it down! Shoot it down!" Mikael shouted behind him. The officers in the command headquarters immediately nodded and turned around. He immediately switched out all public communication channels and did not even bother to encrypt direct full-channel communication.

"Attention all air defense units in the City of Glory, focus fire on the enemy ships that hit them! Repeat, focus all fire!" The officer shouted and passed the order. After seeing this, Eisenstein turned his head and looked around the City of Glory. , that order was delivered and executed like lightning, or in other words, all the air defense units would have done the same thing without that order.

All the ground-based anti-aircraft guns all turned around, the turbolaser cannon group and the twin fortress rail guns all turned around. The heavy gun mount platform turned around them, and the high gun barrel slowly lifted up and pointed directly at the sky. In an instant, dense All the artillery fire was fired into the sky, towards the rapidly falling thing.

Eisenstein raised his head and looked at the thing. The giant thing that broke through the dark clouds descended rapidly with a strong impact airflow. Countless artillery fires rose from the city and bombarded it. The dense explosion instantly lit up the entire cloud layer.

The rapid-fire cannon aimed a series of rapid fire at the sky. The officer waved his saber and pointed at the sky and yelled. The gunner sitting on the iron operating chair also held the firing trigger and howled and fired at the thing that occupied the entire radar screen. The shells were fired. The curtains gathered into a dense fire net in the air.

On the side of the rapid-fire gun position, the huge golden multi-barreled turbo laser cannon slowly turned, the building-like barrel was slowly raised, and the powerful turbo laser muzzle was aimed at the clouds and lit up instantly, the scarlet The laser beam instantly attacked the battleship that broke through the clouds.

The pitch-black Legion warship was burning with raging flames. Its void shield had long been broken by Macragge's intensive anti-aircraft fire. Countless shells and lasers struck it, inch by inch, piece by piece. His steel body was torn and shattered.

The deck was cracked with countless gaps, and fire and blood spurted out from them. The burning flames burned and spread from all the battleship windows and the inside of the building. The raging fire that was pulled out spread from the atmosphere to the top of the city, like a falling star. Meteor's tail.

Mikael looked at the battleships crashing into the city's void shield. The captain pointed at the battleships above his head and raised a thunderous voice. He wanted to use the loud roar of the Astartes to overwhelm all the noise around him, "Destroy it! Let the turbolaser take out its thrusters!"

"Theodosi II! The company commander ordered to kill the enemy ship's propellers and shoot immediately!" the air defense array coordination officer shouted into the microphone. No one over there responded to him, and no one needed to respond to him. The turbine mines roared outside. Shooting a cannon is the best response.

Theodosi No. 2 heavy-duty turbo laser cannon fired a striking beam of light towards the sky. The six muzzles of the six-gun gun flashed at the same time, and the six heaven-destroying laser beams converged and shot towards the side of the fallen ship. rear.

The laser beam instantly penetrated the tail of the battleship. The laser directly penetrated all the decks on the rear side. All the armor layers penetrated the propulsion array diagonally. The laser beam penetrated directly from the side of the main thruster. Like a cavalryman being stabbed diagonally by a spear.

The main thruster exploded rapidly, and its explosion effect was transmitted to all the jets in a chain reaction. A violent explosion occurred at the end of the entire battleship. The plasma flames from the thruster engulfed half of the battleship. The battleship began to lose its balance and tilted towards the shield. shield.

The anti-aircraft array on the ground opened fire quickly, and the roaring anti-aircraft fire net tore through the sides of the entire battleship in an instant. As the fortress's cannon roared, a shell weighing several tons smashed into the waist of the center of the battleship, and the shell penetrated the hull structure. Then it exploded internally, and the violent explosion tore the entire battleship in half.

After the explosion, the battleship, which was burning with raging flames, split into two sections, rotating and falling. Countless wreckage hit the shield like meteors first, and then the main part hit the flashing shield at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, A bright light swallowed up everything.

Mikael and Eisenstein turned their heads to avoid the light, which engulfed half of the city, shrouding all the buildings in pale white light, followed by a loud noise and a loud explosion.

Eisenstein turned his head and stared at the giant mushroom cloud rising from the shield. It was the effect of the explosion of the cruiser's plasma reactor. The devastating interception firepower and impact caused a fusion explosion in the battleship's reactor, which was equivalent to The combined destructive explosion of hundreds of nuclear bombs rose directly from the shield.

Mikael also looked at the explosion. He was surprised at first and then happy, "That's great. The void shield is not broken. I think we can make it."

"Mikael! There's another one!" Eisenstein yelled and pointed to the sky. Mikael even raised his head and saw the second Chaos warship rushing out of the plasma fire storm, and the second warship crashing into the void shield. !

The Chaos warship rushed over the corpses of his comrades, and rushed down through the blood spilled in the sky. The ground anti-aircraft firepower and the outer Imperial ships tried to stop him with all their strength, but the suicidal warship completely ignored the Empire. Blocked by artillery fire, it hit the spot where its comrade-in-arms had just exploded.

In an instant, there was another explosion, and the plasma reactor exploded again. The broken hull exploded and shattered from beginning to end. Eisenstein knew that this time it was not because of the interception of artillery fire, but because those chaotic madmen overloaded the reactor themselves! They are using themselves as missiles!

The second Chaos Warship collided with the void shield. The second explosion instantly shattered the top area of ​​the city's void shield. Two intertwined plasma nuclear explosion clouds rose into the sky. The shock wave of the explosion blew away the clouds, exposing Then he hit the third warship that hit right after him.

Three Chaos warships rushed towards the City of Glory with suicide attacks. The third warship rushed into the city from the gap created by the impact of the first two ships. The kilometer-long cruiser rushed into the city shield and quickly raised it. , but its huge size still failed to avoid collision.

The rear side of the battleship hit the city due to inertia, and large buildings and buildings were swept down one by one. The dust raised along the streets filled the city instantly, but the battleship managed to barely lift itself up, and it was at an extremely low altitude. The range flew forward unsteadily along the city surface.

Eisenstein looked at the warship that broke into the city and flew flat on the ground. It was attacked more powerfully than all the other warships. All the anti-aircraft guns and turbolaser firepower were fired at close range, and the dense artillery fire was like raindrops. Flying toward the battleship, the short bursts of fire made the barrage denser and faster, causing greater damage.

Explosions surged like raindrops on the surface of the battleship, and all parts were being torn apart. All the deck corridors sprayed explosive sparks, but the chaos battleship was still moving forward. It rushed towards the Great Sage with black smoke and fire. temple.

"It's going to hit the Great Temple! Destroy it!" Mikael raised his arms and shouted to the command post behind him. Everyone immediately roared on all channels, and their roars turned into the emperor's wrath and shot towards the battleship. .

More ferocious artillery fire tore apart its body. Six turbolaser cannons in the city aimed and fired at the same time. The gunners invariably avoided those areas in order to avoid the explosion of the battleship's reactor. The laser beam penetrated every seven inches of the battleship. The battleship's propulsion power was paralyzed almost in the blink of an eye.

The huge black battleship fell downwards, and all its propellers were turned off, but it still relied on inertia to sail forward for a long distance. At the last moment before it fell into the city, it raised its bow and raised its head. He raised his belly and punched out a series of things. The small things that sprayed the flames flew towards the great temple in a dense manner.

"That's the Deathclaw drop pod!" Eisenstein exclaimed. He looked at all the Space Marine landing pods that the battleship used its last breath to blast out before it fell. He had to admire the courage of the Chaos crew. But now is not the time to worry about that!

"Marshal! Chaos is coming!" Eisenstein shouted at the communicator inside his power armor. He didn't know if his message could be transmitted to Vito, but it didn't matter if he didn't say it, because the death claws were still smashing. In!

Those blue light spots smashed the windows of the temple one after another, crashed through the walls and doors, and landed on the white ground. Vito looked at the death claws that smashed in like cannonballs. The landing module instantly lifted from the hard base. The ground was shattered into pieces, and a huge shallow pit appeared in front of you.

But Vito no longer needs to consider the damage to the ground, because there is a high probability that the temple has been renovated, because the hatches of the dozen Deathclaws slowly lifted up and collapsed instantly after spraying out white smoke. Sliding open, dozens of traitors from the Black Legion filed out as the hatch opened.

The war cry exploded along with the cry of killing, and the bolt gun began to roar the same moment as the black-armored traitors stepped out of the hatch. The ferocious bolt fire bombarded the surrounding statues and walls, powdering and shattering them. The wreckage is crumbling everywhere, and the place must be renovated.

Vito looked at the traitors who had been killed. Abaddon must have paid his dues. He looked at the seven or eight legion veterans wearing Terminator power armor who rushed out from the Death Claw. Those power armors all had long mammoth tusks, lightning claws flashing bright arcs of electricity in its palms.

The Terminator veterans took the lead in the charge, and behind them were countless veterans of the Black Legion wielding chain axes, swords and blasphemous weapons. They rushed over with shouts of killing.

Vito watched them decisively pull out the Phoenix Sword from their waists, and flames burned from the sword. Behind him, Calga raised his iron fist and roared with thunder, "Father of Protective Genes! Ultramarines, for Marku Lage marches on!”

Calgar shouted at the surrounding members of the Honor Guard to draw their weapons. These veterans shouted to kill and rushed towards the Black Legion. The soldiers from both sides were massacred in the center of the great temple.

Calgar glanced at Vito and then strode forward. The chapter leader's iron fist shot out like a cannonball and shattered the face of a traitor. The traitor of the Black Legion flew out and hit the stone pillar, while Calgar stood In the center of the battlefield, his right hand continuously triggered the bolt gun on the power fist glove, and his left hand was raised high with a burst of war roars.

Sicarius also glanced at Bell and drew his power sword and rushed forward. The second captain rushed into the battlefield at lightning speed. He waved his sword and fought side by side with the veteran brothers of the Honor Guard. It must be said that he A good fight, and although he is arrogant and arrogant, he is indeed a powerful Chapter Champion Swordsman.

Bell and Loken turned to look at Vito, who nodded affirmatively to them. Almost instantly, Ragna rushed forward excitedly. He howled and plunged into the battlefield in the center of the temple. Lance Marshals Lotor and Amalric followed closely, joining the melee with power swords in hand.

After Loken nodded to Vito, he also rushed forward to join the battle. Olaf also followed Loken and rushed to the battlefield. The lightning released from his eyes began to flash from time to time in the battlefield, and the bright electric light instantly illuminated the entire battlefield. dome.

Bell did not join the chaotic melee. He picked up his blaster and jumped onto the collapsing ruins. His eyes were constantly locked on the enemy and the enemy in the melee through the sight, and he used his precise shooting skills to kill the entangled enemy and enemy soldiers. The enemy was shot, and as his fingers clicked, the bombs roared.

Celestine drew out the flaming sword and shook it fiercely to make it burn. She flew up and glanced at Vito before patting the shoulder of Captain Delantius, "Let's go, we have to stop them." ”

After saying that, Celestine flew towards the battlefield. She spread her wings above the chaotic battlefield, and the flickering light poured over the entire battlefield. The little angel waved the flaming sword to block a series of incoming bombs, and then she It flapped its wings violently in the air and appeared directly among the black legions like lightning. The flaming sword began to fight along with the arcs of the sun.

Delantius spun his halberd and headed toward the battlefield. Vito looked at the melee in front of the people and immediately turned to look at Caul and Celestine, "Continue what you should do, and we will buy you time. "

"Hurry up! There is not much time!" Vito said. After seeing Efreni and Caul nod in affirmation, he turned his wrist and rushed forward with the Phoenix Sword. Eldarad also advanced alongside him and sprinted behind him. around.

Vito looked at him jokingly, "Can you still fight? Aren't you a nervous stickman?" "To be honest, my dear friend, before I embarked on the path of prophet, I also learned A warrior’s way for a while.”

As Adarad spoke, he slowly pulled out the long knife hidden under his robe. He held the blade in his wrist and swung it to one side. The shining blade shone with a cold light under the flowing light, "I have always wanted to Find a chance to test and see how many combat skills I can remember."

Vito also laughed after hearing this. Golden arcs of lightning appeared on his body and his eyes looked straight ahead, "Then your chance has come today." Before Vito finished speaking, he kicked his legs suddenly and jumped up with a series of lightning bolts. , he held the hilt of the sword and looked at the traitor in front of him with sharp eyes like an eagle, the traitor who turned around to face him.

The flaming tip of the Phoenix Sword pierced his face armor, and the traitor fell backwards. Vito crouched on top of him and looked up at the several traitors standing in front of him. They all raised their hands one by one after seeing Vito. weapons.

Vito stood up slowly with a smile. He suddenly drew out the Phoenix Sword. Golden lightning burst out from his eyes, and the electric light and arc bombarded the ground. Vito smiled and watched the traitors in front of him holding the blade.

"Horus's bastards, today I will teach you how to behave on behalf of your father."

Efreni stepped onto the last step. She leaned on the curved corridor stairs and looked forward. The fierce fight between Astartes and Astartes was intensifying, with roaring chainsaws echoing bolters. Roaring in the hall, black and blue armors kept colliding together, swinging and slashing accompanied by shouts of killing.

Vito was right, this place had definitely been renovated. Efreni turned to look at Caul who was walking up. The huge body of the Mechanicus great sage finally climbed up the stairs with the help of countless mechanical iron feet. The suspended equipment cart behind him also slid onto the high platform.

"You have to start working, oil man. How long do we have after unlocking the stationary stance?" Ifreni asked, and Caul walked directly to the console on the side of the arc-shaped stationary stance energy field. The sacred console made of stone is spotless. Even after ten thousand years, all the silver buttons and golden levers on it are still the same as new.

Caul's mechanical tentacles came up from under the red robe. Efreni looked at the rotating mechanical tentacles. Caul then directly inserted it into the data interface of the console, and a series of words slid across his eyes. After the data flood, I reached out and pulled the switch.

As Caul's fully mechanized palm pulled down the golden lever, the still position surrounding the Son of Vengeance beside them completely lowered, and sacred hymns came from the surrounding loudspeakers, as the notes gradually rose. The flaming sword placed on Man's knees also burned normally, and the flames began to wave, which also meant that the static stance was completely gone.

"We only have one minute, now, let's start." Caul said as the red robe on his huge body lifted up around him. Efreni looked slightly surprised as countless mechanical arms stretched out from below, and the intricate mechanical tentacles and The arms wriggled on the ground and in the air, and at its root was a huge mechanical drive that had no connection with humans at all.

Now it seems that Caul only has the upper body, barely resembling a human being, and his lower body has been completely replaced by a huge mechanical torso. Countless mechanical arms protruded from the huge, bloated mechanical body, and countless tools and instruments all stretched out. Caul Completely transformed yourself into a factory.

One of Caul's mechanical tentacles passed under Efreni. The latter instinctively dodged to the side. Her vision followed the mechanical tentacles. The steel tentacles climbed up the surface of the equipment vehicle and suddenly penetrated. In a card slot, almost immediately, sturdy equipment carts began to open one by one.

The locking points on the heavy protective armor layer were unlocked one by one, but the red lights all lit up in rows, followed by the equipment truck's carriage flying upwards, and the heavy box standing diagonally behind it. .

All the heavy armor covers slid to one side and opened. Ephrene looked at the armor that was larger than all the Space Marine power armors. She turned to look at Caul behind her, who had already started working. The densely packed mechanical arms and tentacles began to work on Guilliman.

The armor worn by the original body was dismantled and opened layer by layer. All anchor points, gussets and armor layers were dismantled and opened in an orderly but extremely fast manner. Caul looked at Guilliman in front of him. This process had already been in his mind. Repeated calculations, simulations and improvements took ten thousand years. He simulated millions of times and was able to complete the final work only this time.

Efreni looked at Caul, and suddenly there was an explosion behind her, and a plasma exploded in the air behind her. Efreni immediately turned around and saw the void shield flashing in front of her, the flashing reaction The defensive shield catches all attacks.

"Damn it, since they installed a void shield here?" Efreni said with a joking smile, but this is not surprising, right? The Ultramarines installed a void shield in front of the Primarch's stationary stance, the last line of defense.

Ephrene looked at the series of artillery fire, bolters, plasma and shoulder-fired missiles fired by the Black Legion traitors. They obviously noticed that Caul was still working, and Calgar was still trying to stop them, so They planned to kill Guilliman with long-range fire.

But what they didn't know, and what Everenee didn't know, was that the reason why the Ultramarines built such a large wooden platform at the feet of the original body, and made such an abrupt and strange thing, was that a device was installed inside the platform. A Titan-level void shield generator.

This kind of wood can effectively ensure internal ventilation so that Titan's void shield reactor can work stably, and now the void shield they installed back then plays a key role.

Intense artillery fire hit the shield but to no avail. The traitor of the Black Legion, who had used up all the explosive shells, retracted his bolt gun and pulled out the magazine. He cursed and inserted a new magazine into the bolt gun, but as soon as he raised his head, He was knocked to the ground with one punch.

The Chapter Master of Calgar raised the bolt gun on his gauntlet and shot him in the head. Calgar looked around. Vito was wielding the Phoenix Sword and killed another traitor behind him. In his hand The lightning sparked directly scorched the man's right leg, forcing him to kneel on the ground, and then his head was severed by Vito's sword.

"Kill these idiots who shoot!" Vito shouted, raising his sword. Celestine slid over his head and landed in the center of the Deathclaw drop pod and opened fire. The holy fire swept around as his wings spread. Come on.

Behind Vito, Loken, Lancelot, and Amalric also rushed past him on both sides. They rushed into the long-range units of the Black Legion and interrupted their shooting. Vito stood amidst the slashing of the power sword. Looking around in the chaos, fierce fighting was still continuing around, but it seemed that the situation over there was going smoothly.

Vito looked at the high platform in the distance, and Calgar also looked over. They witnessed Caul's extremely fast equipment speed. The original body's ancient armor was all removed, and the Destiny Armor on the equipment vehicle moved at an alarming speed. Replacements were made, and those huge armor accessories were worn simultaneously with the coordination of Caul's countless arms.

The card slot was connected, locked and closed, and the life support system was quickly activated under the operation of the mechanical tentacles. The shining golden armor was assembled in a very short time. Only there was a gap in the chest that was not closed. That was in advance. Reserved, reserved for the last step.

Calgar watched with wide eyes as Evrene climbed onto Guilliman's knees. She was much shorter than Guilliman. She had to stand on Guilliman's knees to be at the same level as his head, and now Evrene Freyne raised the old sword in her hand and pointed it at the gap, aiming at Guilliman's heart.

"Damn it! I said I have to be by their side before they can do anything!" Calgar cursed angrily and strode towards the high platform. Vito wanted to stop him but was immediately involved in the fight. He could only look at Calgar. He knocked away a group of enemy and friendly soldiers and strode towards the high platform.

Calgar roared and rushed towards that place. He looked at Everene who was still holding the hilt of the sword and was about to stab. Calgar almost rushed to the high platform but was quickly blocked. A slashing lightning claw hit Calgar. With the added iron fist, the Chapter Leader took several steps back before stopping.

He raised his head and glared at the Black Legion Terminator in front of him. The Terminator, who was as burly as Calgar, stood in front of Calgar, blocking his way to the original body, but he still saw the sword that stabbed Guilliman's heart. Blade.

"No!" Calgar shouted but was stopped by the Terminator, who rushed forward with heavy steps to wrestle with Calgar, while on the platform, Cawl was concentrating on watching Evelene, watching her stab Guilliman's heart with a sword.

"Everyone, it's time to get up!" Evelene shouted and stabbed his heart with a sword. The blade of the Crone's Sword entered Guilliman's heart. As the blood flowed out of the wound, Evelene's eyes flashed white, and all the runes on the Crone's Sword also flashed at the same time.

The dazzling white light engulfed everything, and the dazzling light quickly spread from the platform. After Calgar and the traitor Terminator stopped fighting, the Honor Guard and the Black Legion, who were still fighting fiercely, also looked behind them. The pale light engulfed them and everything in the hall.

Vito raised his arms to block his eyes. The incandescent light like the sun lasted for a while and then gradually faded. Vito raised his eyes and looked at the high platform. He saw a figure stepping out from it.

The shining sky eagle on the chest of the Destiny Armor appeared from the light. His burly and upright body stepped out of the throne. The flaming sword burned in his huge palm. His piercing eyes finally slowly opened. After ten thousand years of sleep, he stood on the edge of the high platform and stood proudly in front of the throne.
