Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor
Chapter 255 The Rise of the Primarch: The Disappearing Disease
Korhal is a habitable planet in the eastern nebula arm of the Ultramar Sector. Long before the dark clouds of the Golden Age enveloped the galaxy, Korhal had become a prosperous and populous planet. , unfortunately, in the turmoil of the Age of Strife, Korhal did not escape the fate of destruction.
Food shortages and lack of resources led to large-scale civil wars. The once magnificent cities of the golden age were destroyed. Humans killed each other. In just a few centuries, Korhal's civilization was destroyed. The weapons used during the civil war Unknown biological and chemical weapons have caused a sudden drop in the planet's population.
It is said that at that time, the green poisonous gas will permeate the ground of Korhal. The plains, valleys and riversides will be filled with those poisonous gases. The residents of Korhal can only live on the mountains, cliffs and cliffs. This also shaped the relationship between Korhal and the people. different characteristics.
But even so, the disputes between humans and humans have never stopped. The regression of science and civilization has not stopped the war. The people of Korhal continue to fight using aerostats, hot air balloons and all weapons that can levitate. The dispute over meaning continued into the early years of the Great Crusade.
In the first hundred years of the Great Crusade, when the Emperor and Vitor found Guilliman and entrusted him with the Thirteenth Legion, Guilliman led the Ultramarines to liberate the entire Ultramar sector. Five The world has returned to civilization, and Korhal is no exception.
Guilliman brought civilization, technology and salvation. Under the orders of the Primarch himself, the Adeptus Mechanicus used their outstanding technological creations to eliminate most of the poisonous gas pollution on the planet itself. Only river valleys, wastelands and swamps remained. Despite the remnants of those old times, the land of Korhal is once again alive with life.
Cities were rebuilt, civilization was shaped, technology and rationality became mainstream, and even more fortunately, Korhal later became a member of the Five Hundred Worlds. They were helped by the extraordinary talent of governance of the Primarch himself, and prospered In addition, he also received the privilege of being exempted from the imperial tithe in 500 worlds.
This allowed Korhal to quickly be freed from the Age of Strife. The people of Korhal have always remembered Guilliman's kindness for thousands of years. Some say that Guilliman's status in Korhal surpassed that of the Emperor. A large number of temples and The sculpture in the square is not that of the Emperor, but that of Guilliman.
This fact was severely condemned by the state religion, which regarded Kohal as heresy and heresy. However, because Kohal belonged to the Five Hundred Worlds and was protected by the Ultramarines, the state religion did not dare to do anything, even if it was to judge the religion. During this era, the crazy state religion also maintained its most basic sanity.
So when the plague of tears struck, when pain and suffering overwhelmed everything, the people of Korhal prayed to the glorious halls of Macragge. They sought salvation from the mighty Lord of Macragge, and now, Macragge The Lord of Kurag responded to them.
When the people of Korhal learned that Guilliman had awakened and came to Korhal, a warm atmosphere enveloped the planet. People from all over the planet, old, weak, rich and poor, beggars and nobles, rushed to the capital. Starport is crowded with pilgrims from all over the world.
The men and women of Kehal crowded the square of the star port. The children sat on the shoulders of their parents and looked forward. The sea of people filled the streets of the city. The buildings on both sides of the road were also full of enthusiastic people inside and outside. Those positions A good building in a simple location can fetch high prices.
And even so, there are enough nobles and wealthy people who are willing to squeeze their heads to grab the tourist seats, while ordinary people are scrambling to squeeze in on the ground. Everyone hopes to be closer to the front, and the closer to the front, the better. Clearly see the majestic body of the Redeemer.
A noisy atmosphere enveloped the starport. Under countless flags and slogans, and in front of the pilgrims holding faith flags and incense burners, were the local defense forces. These were as well-equipped as the Macragge Defense Force and were well-paid. Gao's soldiers performed their duties faithfully.
"Everyone, back off! I told you to back off!" the SADF officer holding a laser pistol shouted loudly. He stood on the roadblock and shouted loudly. Soldiers lined up in several rows on the road in front of him, and explosion-proof shields were set up on the road. In front, laser gunners lined up behind them.
"Push them back, sergeant, I say drive them back!" the officer roared loudly. He gave the order to the sergeant in the front row. The latter drew out his baton and beat the enthusiastic crowd back. The tough sergeant major Directing his soldiers forward to drive away the crowd, they must ensure that these fanatical pilgrims do not rush into the starport.
The Chimera armored vehicle drove up from behind, and a large number of SADF soldiers jumped off the roof of the armored vehicle. They took down riot control equipment, tear gas, stun light guns, and shotguns filled with anti-explosive shells from the truck behind them, and distributed them to everyone. People, under the command of the officer, the guards lined up in several teams and were on standby.
They held laser guns to block the crowd, and law enforcement officers from the Ministry of Justice also cooperated with them. Warning lines and barricades were set up around Star Harbor Plaza. The laser guns kept driving the crowd back, but the crowd still tried their best. The ground moves forward.
Especially when the huge landing ship slowly sailed out from above the clouds, the logo of the Ultramarines on the outside of the huge transport ship in the atmosphere shone brightly, and the propulsion engines in the atmosphere sprayed fire and slowly descended from the sky.
The crowd burst into fierce cheers, and behind the connecting trestle connecting the star port to the outside, in the dock square with the tall obelisk of victory, the Governor of Korhal and the planet officials had been waiting for a long time again. Under the cover of their respective guards, they finally got here through the fanatical crowd, and many people looked disheveled as a result.
They did their best to clean themselves up. Although the ladies may still be dissatisfied, after all, the original body has arrived, and they have no time to clean up themselves. Everyone is looking at the dock that is gradually docked on the side of the pier. transport ship.
The connecting mechanical arms roared and engaged with the anchor point on one side of the transport ship. They roared and locked the transport ship firmly. The blue transport ship's huge building-like landing gear landed heavily, accompanied by the buffer hydraulic structure. As a result, the battleship slowly lifted up and entered stability.
The governor, officials, and the people of Korhal all looked at the door that was gradually lowering. The huge cabin on one side of the belly of the transport ship slowly opened. The thick landing deck was laid flat on the ground. On the back side of the deck, the dim light from the hull One by one, burly giants came out. They were the honor guard of the Ultramarines.
The Governor watched as the warriors wearing golden-winged battle helmets and red robes walked down the deck. The leading warrior among them held a glorious banner. There was a golden eagle on the hanging flag, and the eagle held the Ultramarines battle in its mouth. The emblem of the regiment, the glorious company emblem surrounds the center of the flag, surrounding the emblem of the Chapter itself.
That symbol is not only the symbol of the warband, the symbol of Macragge, but also the symbol of the mighty Lord. As the soldiers of the Honor Guard walked down the deck, they stood on both sides of the battleship holding spears and holding swords. , that magnificent body finally appeared in the sight of the deck.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the blue battle armor. It was a giant taller than all the space warriors. He stepped out of the battleship. When he first appeared in front of people, everything, everything had just returned. The noisy crowd fell silent, whether it was the crowd in the square or the nobles on the high buildings.
The dignitaries stood up from their comfortable chairs and leaned against the armrests, while on the ground, all eyes, both male and female, were looking at the giant on the deck.
The giant's eyes scanned the crowd in the square. He raised his iron fist with a smile, and his symbol shined brightly on his fist. "People of Huck, I am honored to come to this land." , I am honored to visit this land and its great people again after ten thousand years.”
Guilliman broke the sediment. He did not need any amplification equipment. The voice of the original body was enough for everyone to hear. The crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers. Everyone raised their arms in the air and shouted, "Guilliman! Guilliman! Guilliman!"
Guilliman walked down the deck with enthusiastic cheers, and Sicarius naturally followed behind him. The chief swordsman in red robes and a centurion helmet followed behind the original body. Together with the Primarch, they came to the Governor and other officials.
Those usually arrogant dignitaries looked up to Guilliman, with awe and fear that overwhelmed them. They looked at Guilliman with pairs of eyes, looking at the thing that could only be seen in statues, legends and stories. The gods stood in front of them, and all their thoughts were down, like a malfunctioning servitor.
Guilliman smiled and greeted them first. The original body looked at the leading man. He had slightly bald hair and wore a single-sided spectacles. Golden silk threads hung beside the lenses. His emerald green clothes were elegant and noble. He looked It took a lot of time to prepare and was also very expensive.
"I believe you are the Governor of Korhal. I am honored to meet you." Guilliman's words awakened the Governor, and he immediately nodded and bowed in submission to Guilliman, "I salute you, Sir. I am Tursk Titus, Governor of Korhal, on behalf of the people of Korhal and all my colleagues, I welcome your arrival, and we are ready to serve you.”
Kiriman smiled and nodded to them, but the Primarch shook his head slightly, "I am not here to gain loyalty, Lord Governor. I am here to provide help. I hope to win the loyalty of Korhal's people."
"You have already gained our loyalty, sir. As early as 10,000 years ago, after you rescued us from suffering, we will always be loyal to you." The governor said piously, his eyes full of Respect, as did all the officials behind him.
Guilliman smiled and looked at the crowds of people around the dock square. He waved to them and received even more enthusiastic cheers. The sound of praise came like waves, and the enthusiastic people surged forward. This makes the soldiers of the National Defense Force very distressed.
The officer roared and ordered the rear troops to move forward. The defense troops armed with anti-riot shields and batons joined the human wall. They crowded together to block the crowd. The Chimera armored vehicle slowly moved forward to block the possible gaps.
"Times have changed, and I believe that everything should be treated with courtesy. Please allow me to introduce our mutual friends to you." Guilliman said and motioned behind him. The Governor and the top dignitaries of Korhal looked towards the deck. They saw The man who stepped out in the Ultramarines Honor Guard.
He was wearing a pitch-black Grand Inquisitor trench coat, with the scarlet I letter hanging on his waist. The skull symbolizing the power of the Inquisition flashed on his chest. He was wearing a golden phoenix sword and a bolt gun. As he walked forward, the silver iron pieces on his black boots jingled.
He walked in front of everyone with a smile. The man smiled and put his hands on his back, and Guilliman introduced him beside him, "I believe you have heard about it. This is him."
"Salute to you, Supreme Marshal Vito Constantine. On behalf of all my colleagues, I welcome you and Lord Guilliman." The Governor smiled politely, and Vito also showed a more sincere smile. , he looked at the Governor with a smile, but that smile sent chills down the Governor's back.
"I think you have missed two titles. Can you remember them?" "Sir, two titles? I think I" "You have indeed forgotten two titles. I think you have all forgotten them. So please let me know." Let me remind you."
Vito took a step forward and smiled, he raised his two hands, "I am also the Supreme Master of the Tribunal and the Supreme Assassin Master of the Assassin's Court. I hold the highest authority in both departments. I think you understand. what does that mean."
Vito's smile really frightened them now. Of course these usually domineering dignitaries knew this meaning. The man in front of them was not just an ordinary judge, he was one of the two most powerful people in the empire without any trial and authorization. It would be appropriate to execute anyone of any status, especially the top leader of the department.
Guilliman had to come out at the right time to smooth things over. He smiled and raised his hand to the adults, "Marshal Vito is also responsible for the investigation task. I asked him to investigate the situation of the Plague of Tears. I hope you will answer his questions truthfully. ”
"We must say something, sir, I promise." The governor said eagerly. He looked at Vito and nodded in submission. Vito always maintained that uneasy smile. He has had a lot of time to practice judgment in ten thousand years. With his skills as an official, all he needs to do now is stand here and a smile is enough to make these powerful men tremble.
"I would like to ask how the plague situation is in Korhal. The information we got on the way here is that the local infection situation is serious and many people have gone blind. But now it seems to me that the situation is not that serious."
"This can only mean two possibilities. First, the intelligence is wrong, the local government provided wrong and deceptive facts, deceiving me and Guilliman, or..."
Before Vito finished speaking, the governor, whose face turned pale with fright, shook his head and denied, "Absolutely not, sir! We definitely did not deceive you and the original body. In fact, the plague disappeared by itself, suddenly disappeared, and many people became blind. people have regained their eyesight!”
"Oh? The plague disappeared? When did it start?" Vito asked with a slight frown, and the governor nodded in response, "On the day when the news of your arrival came, that is, two days ago, the plague suddenly disappeared."
"We believe that it must be the light of Lord Guilliman's divine power that purifies the plague, and your divinity that drives away the darkness. This must be the case!" the Governor said repeatedly, and the dignitaries behind him also echoed incomparably, Vito He was obviously suspicious, and Guilliman could tell that it was time to make a fool of himself.
Guilliman took a step forward with a smile. He looked at the people around him and waved, and then faced the Governor, "I believe that everything will be answered. Now please lead the way. I am looking forward to formally meeting with more department leaders." meeting."
"Yes, yes, sir, please come this way. They are already waiting for you at the Governor's Mansion." The Governor said, motioning to the red carpet behind him. The carpet extended to the end of the avenue. Who knows how long it is, how many kilometers?
Guilliman nodded and walked onto the red carpet. Vito followed him after giving the Governor a cold look. The latter was frightened to death and looked at each other cautiously with his colleagues. Seeing their situation, Sika Liu Si stepped forward, and the Second Company Commander stood tall and tall in front of them, glancing forward to signal them to follow.
The local rulers followed cautiously behind the Primarch and Vitor, while Sicarius led the Honor Guard behind them, flanked by Guilliman and Vitor.
The Ultramarines held spears to isolate the primarch from the enthusiastic crowd around him. Korhal's people cheered enthusiastically around them. They sprinkled flowers and gorgeous silks on Guilliman. There were people holding flowers everywhere on the buildings. Ladies, countless petals fell from the sky, filling the red avenue.
The crowd tried their best to get closer to Guilliman, but on both sides of the red carpet, soldiers of the Korhal Defense Force blocked them with all their strength. Soldiers holding explosion shields and long sticks kept driving them to keep a safe distance. This was to prevent the assassins from attacking. Assassination, of course, would be quite difficult in the presence of Vito, who is probably the best at assassination in this universe.
Vitor knew there was no danger here, and that something was very wrong, and Guilliman could see it too, and he and Vitor walked together, whispering while making sure no one around could hear them.
"You noticed something was wrong, right? That nonsense about divinity is too outrageous. I am not a god, and I have no divinity." Guilliman's voice was just drowned out by the cheers of the surrounding crowd. Only Vito could hear the whisper. .
"Indeed, someone did it on purpose. The plague disappeared just when you and I were about to get the news. It's impossible to do what those idiots said." Vito said, his eyes scanning left and right, and he looked at the pictures around him. He opened his face, but apparently no one caught his attention.
This is normal. If those who planned all this were still in Korhal, how stupid would they be to dare to appear in front of Guilliman and himself even though they knew clearly that they were followers of Nurgle.
"This shows that someone is going to fight guerrillas for us again, and this is not the work of the simple-minded idiots of Nurgle's followers." Vito said in a low voice, and based on his many years of experience in dealing with Chaos, he concluded, yes , yes, of course he knows that there are smart people among Nurgle believers, such as Typhons, but Vito is also certain that they will not be here.
The reason is simple. If Typhons and the others were here, they would not use a plague with such low lethality as tears and crying. Typhons and other high-level Nurgle demons are keen on more lethal plagues, such as the Corruption Plague. There are scale zombie plagues, blood plagues, etc., but this plague is too trivial in terms of absolute effects, and they cannot handle it.
Guilliman nodded affirmatively and waved to the crowd around him with a fake smile, "Then what are you going to do? I guess the local bureaucrats can't come up with any results."
"I know that you will simply deal with them and then use the excuse of plague on other planets to leave. I will stay quietly and see if the plague will strike again when you leave. I will find out the truth."
"This is a good plan. I will leave as soon as possible. You should also inform your people. If you still need help, please contact me." Guilliman waved his hand and whispered. Vito nodded and raised himself naturally. on his wrist, he turned on the communicator on it.
As the ticking communication channel opens, Vito will bring the microphone part closer to himself, "Bell, tell the other brothers to leave the Macragge Glory and find an inconspicuous destroyer. When the fleet leaves, you will stay. Wait for my signal."
"Understood, Marshal." Bell's voice sounded briefly. Vito took a deep breath and put down the communicator on his wrist. His eyes scanned the surrounding buildings.
And on a gorgeous building that he didn't notice, in the shadows next to the noble's VIP table, a figure with perfect figure appeared there, with purple eyes shining in the darkness.
She smiled melodiously, placing her fingers slightly on her lips, "Let's start this game, Father."
Dear adults, in the new month, please give me monthly votes, recommendations, and promotion! ! ! !
