Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

All factories and supporting ancillary facilities in the Human Empire are under the management of the Mechanicus, at least that is what is written in the empire's code and the Mechanicus creed. According to the sacred "Olympian" Agreement and the agreement between the Mechanicus and the Empire, All mechanical creations in the galaxy that were born from the great power of Ohm Messiah should belong to the Mechanicus.

Factories, refineries, processing bases and even many mines are within the scope of its agreement, which also includes all technological creations, knowledge, exploration and research links. In short, the Mechanicus theoretically owns everything in the empire and machinery, technological production link management and leadership.

But in practice, this is often not the case. You see, the empire is very big. It is ridiculously big in the literal sense. Hundreds of billions of planets and hundreds of trillions of people cannot be controlled by a piece of paper, let alone Whether many planets are still recorded by the Empire is a question.

In addition, there are extremely confusing bureaucratic management issues, political games in various star regions, technological confrontations within the Mechanicus, and the empire's endless demand for production capacity that can never be filled. This has led to the fact that in actual operations, not all of the empire's Factories are strictly speaking, "exclusively belonging to the Mechanicus".

In fact, a large number of factories and casting lines in the entire empire are not completely managed by the Mechanicus. Instead, they are set up and managed by various sector governments, governors and businessmen who cooperate with the Astra Militarum. The Mechanicus only sets production standards for these factories. , regularly dispatching priests to supervise, guide and eliminate technological heretics.

There's nothing strange about that, right? After all, in those vast seas of stars where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, you can't expect everything to be perfect and comply with the complicated regulations of the empire, right?

Among them, there are some factories that still have huge problems even under the "loose" management of the current empire, such as this one.

This huge factory stands in the midst of the magnificent primeval forest. Its presence is incompatible with the surrounding environment and makes people unable to take their eyes away.

Steel, concrete and tall chimneys filled this forest clearing. The forest was knocked down and leveled to accommodate these mechanical bodies that could never be satisfied. The roar of countless machines echoed one after another within the high walls of the factory. , the roaring steel structure crushes, crushes and reorganizes this underground natural core, turning it into nutrients that supply the empire's never-ending war machine.

Thick smoke was emitted from several chimneys in the factory. Outside the high wall, there was a wire wall. The artificial walls surrounding the wire mesh and sharp blades separated the boundary between the factory and the forest.

Tall sentry towers stand behind high walls, and guards walk on those tall towers with flashing red lights and searchlights. Their rough presence divides steel and nature into two worlds.

Although darkness has long fallen in the forest, the proud creations of mankind have not allowed darkness to envelope this place. Searchlights and spotlights have completely illuminated the road in the forest, and bright lights are also shining in the forest.

They were fully enclosed armored transport vehicles, with their tall bodies rolling forward under the operation of huge wheels. These tanks that shuttled through the forest were like steel beasts. They drove out of the forest towards the factory. door.

The guard with a gun in front of the iron gate of the factory illuminated by lights waved his arms back. He and the armed guards standing on the road retreated off the road. The armored transport truck drove past them, and the steel door slowly opened. Driving between the gates.

The bright car lights completely illuminated the open space between the factory and the high wall. The armored transport vehicles quickly parked at the wall. The armed guards inside the factory wall quickly stepped forward and turned the door handle, opening the thick armored iron door and facing towards the factory. There was a lot of yelling inside.

With the roars, shouts and urgings, the newly arrived visitors jumped out of the car one after another. They carried their bags and ran around the armored car. Guards with guns on both sides shouted instructions to them in front of the factory garage door. gather.

"Hurry up! Get down! You are not here for sightseeing!" The guard holding a laser gun roared loudly. He watched young people jumping out of the carriage one after another. The guard grabbed each person and pushed him towards him. Next guard, who will tell them where to stand.

The guard at the car door looked at these new recruits and smiled contemptuously. He turned to look at the next person who walked out of the car. He was wearing a black jacket, two laser pistols on his waist, and a unique weapon hanging around his neck. silver pendant.

Vito stood at the door of the car and looked at the huge factory in front of him. His eyes looked up along the high walls of the factory. Black smoke was rising from the chimney. The guard watched as Vito grabbed Vito's clothes and elbows and pulled them apart. He pulled him down, and just as he was about to push Vito, he was slapped away by Vito.

"Bring your dirty hands, idiot, I can go by myself." Vito said forcefully. After tidying up his clothes that were messed up by the guards, he walked to the assembly point. The guards looked at Vito and hesitated to speak. Then he cursed under his breath and scratched his head, and walked past the edge of the assembled team with his gun in hand.

He jumped on the sandbag on the side, stood next to a heavy laser cannon installed by the factory garage door, and shouted, "Everyone! You country bumpkins, show me your eyes! Go get your weapons in the garage and obey." Do you understand your superiors’ orders? We will turn you into real soldiers!”

"Move now, move your lazy asses!" The guard said rudely, jumping off the sandbags and kicking a local on the ass. The surrounding guards also began to yell at the newcomers to enter the garage. Their rude behavior was like driving a group of sheep.

Vito mixed in with these complaining young people. He followed the crowd and walked forward. During this time, he also had time to observe the surrounding environment.

It must be said that the defense of this factory is good. The heavy laser cannon is set up behind the sandbags, and the anti-tank infantry cannon is on the other side. There are heavy machine guns with barrels extending out of the high wall above the head. There is a bolt machine gun on the watchtower with a rotating searchlight, and a long ammunition chain hangs on the sandbags.

Vito raised his eyebrows jokingly. It seems that the big boss of this factory has spent a lot of money on defense. It's really interesting. Whose attack are they preparing to deal with that needs these weapons? In short, it must not be the beasts in the forest or the locals in the settlements.

Vito followed the crowd into the garage, where they were led by the roaring guards to collect weapons. Everyone went to the window of the weapons warehouse one by one to take their weapons and ammunition. It didn't take long for Vito to take his turn.

He walked forward, and the guard behind the weapons window took a bolt gun from the side. He pushed the red gun and several magazines to Vito, who was surprised to grab the weapon and look at the bolt gun with the Sky Eagle logo.

"The kind used by the battle nuns? It's really interesting. Where did you get it from?" Vito's question made the guard very impatient. He slammed the table and raised his hands, "How the hell do I know? These days, you can get anything with money."

The guard waved his hands repeatedly to signal Vito to get out, and he was immediately dragged away by another guard next to him. He pushed Vito and signaled him to go aside. Vito looked at him and sneered, then walked to the assembly point with the bolt gun, where the guards who had received the guns gathered.

A guard with bare arms and scars on his thick arms stood on the terrace of the garage. He stared at the young people below fiercely, "Be quiet! Shut up!" His voice was so loud that Vito was surprised, but it was indeed very useful. All the young people quieted down and looked at the guard on the table. After Vito walked into the crowd, he looked up at the guy. He stared at the young people in front of him, nodded, and pushed them aside. "Miss Theresa is going to talk to you, listen to me! Also, keep your hands!" The sturdy man said and stepped aside. Vito's eyes were still locked on the sturdy man at first. He noticed the several hoses inserted in the sturdy man's arms. The liquid flashing with purple light seemed to be some kind of hormone. But before Vito could identify what the hormone was, he was interrupted by a burst of exclamations from the newcomers around him. He followed the eyes of the young people around him and looked at the table. A woman wearing tight pants, with a beautiful and quite attractive figure, came up. She stood in front of the sturdy man with one hand on her waist and looked at everyone. Her charming smile fascinated everyone, of course not including Vito. He looked at the woman. She was beautiful in every sense. Her waist-length black and purple hair was like a black and kind waterfall. Her purple eyes were like a pair of gems dotted on her porcelain-white face.

Vito looked at the charming woman named Theresa. She gave Vito a familiar feeling, a kind of aggressive beauty without any reality.

Theresa smiled and looked at the newcomers under the stairs one by one. When her eyes swept over Vito, she paused for a moment. She squinted her eyes slightly and smiled at Vito.

Did she find herself? Vito was not sure. Theresa's eyes quickly moved away. Several guards as burly as the strong man walked out of the corridor behind her. They all wore masks that could not see their faces. Only a pair of ominous black-bottomed red eyes were exposed. They stood behind Theresa like iron walls.

"Welcome everyone, I believe that all gentlemen will fulfill their responsibilities perfectly. On behalf of the refinery and my partners, I welcome you." Her voice was as sweet as a canary's song, and the young people were fascinated by her, and everyone couldn't help but smile.

Vito narrowed his eyes and looked at Theresa. Theresa had a familiar feeling about her, a feeling of manipulation and deception. He often saw it in Lilith, so he could recognize that familiar feeling at a glance.

Is she a succubus? Vito thought to himself, but before he could take a closer look, Theresa stepped back a few steps. She smiled and gestured to the burly man beside her, "This is your boss, Major Bardock. Follow his arrangements and we will have a pleasant time together." Theresa smiled seductively and raised a finger to her lips. She smiled and slightly lowered her eyes, "There is only one thing you should remember, don't enter the factory without permission, otherwise something regrettable will happen." "But I believe in you, so I wish you all a pleasant night." Theresa said and turned away, her butt swaying from side to side to attract everyone's attention. The young people stared at them in a trance, but soon their pleasant time was interrupted because the strong and sturdy supervisor stepped forward to block Theresa's back.

"Put away your idiot eyes! Now assign positions, I said turn your eyes back!" Major Bardock roared and stopped these young people who had never seen time. They looked at the strong man's ridged face. With a horned face, the latter immediately started assigning positions and giving orders.

This process did not last long, and Vito could be sure that his title of colonel was not a nickname. He must have been a colonel of the Astra Militarum. His words were concise and very clear. He was obviously very accustomed to it long ago. He yelled at a group of new recruits.

Vito was assigned to the guard team of the outer wall. This is a very boring position. You need to stand under the high wire wall for several hours, holding a bolt gun against the dark forest to observe everything in it. Most of the time there is nothing there.

He stayed here for an hour or two, during which Vito figured out the frequency of guard patrols. Of course, more importantly, whether the strong colonel would come to check. The result made Vito very satisfied, and the colonel only I came once an hour ago and then never came again.

This does make sense. To be honest, who would want to come to this boring post located in the southwest corner of the factory, under a separate and lonely sentry tower. It is almost unimportant, and even if someone launches an attack, it will not become a key area.

This satisfied Vito, which meant that no one would notice him immediately if he left. He could sneak into the factory quietly, but there was still a small problem that Vito needed to solve, that is, he was not on guard alone.

Vito turned to look at his "companion" beside him. He was a young local Orion boy. He was grouped with Vito with a bolt gun, probably to allow the guards to supervise each other. The veteran of the Astra Militarum The routine is set, let everyone monitor each other to report heretics and traitors, and now if Vito wants to leave, he must not notice it, or that he will not cause any trouble.

"Your name is Kabbah, right? I'm going to the toilet. You can look after me." Vito smiled and was about to leave while holding the bolt gun, but Kabbah pulled him from behind. This rigorous young man shook his head. He shook his head and said, "Let's solve it here. We can't leave our posts casually."

"I said, peeing in the open is not good, right? We are all civilized, aren't we?" Vito said with a wry smile. Kaba obviously didn't think there was any problem. Vito now realized his stupidity, and he had forgotten all about it. The boy is a hunter. Hunters who hunt in the forest have no sense of civilized urination and defecation.

As expected, Kaba immediately shook his head. His serious attitude was even admirable, "We have orders not to leave the post at will. If that big guy finds out after you leave, you and I will be unlucky."

Vito pursed his lips and looked at the young man in front of him with an awkward smile. To be honest, Vito admired his responsible attitude, but if he was not hindering himself, Vito might admire him more.

He smiled bitterly, then turned around and pressed the young man's shoulders. He watched him nod slightly and suddenly raised his eyes to look behind him, "Ah, the big guy is here, I think you and I can report this. "

Kabba was stunned and turned to look behind him, but of course he saw nothing. There was not a ghost in the empty space outside the empty wall. He turned back to Vito in confusion, "Is he here? Why didn't I look?"

Before he finished speaking, his words came to an abrupt end with a punch. Vito's mechanical arm iron fist slammed into his face, and the cannon-like punch caused Kabbah to be instantly knocked to the ground. , he flew up on the spot and fell to the ground and passed out.

Vito looked at him and rubbed his fists with a joking smile, "Sorry, man, I'm pressed for time tonight, but I promise you'll be fine, except that you'll have a headache when you wake up."

Vito smiled and looked around before leaving. He slung the red bolter across his back, and in the shadows, Vito moved forward in the darkness under the high wall of the factory.

He crossed the outer wall of the factory for a short distance and then came to the edge of the wire wall. There was a small door open here, and under the wire wall was a flowing stream. Well, in fact it was a sewage channel for factory wastewater, but at least It looks like a creek, doesn't it? But be sure not to drink the water here. It's best not to touch it at all. God knows how many chemical components there are in it that can kill someone instantly.

Vito stepped forward and leaned against the exposed wall behind the barbed wire. His eyes peeked out from behind the small door. There were two guards standing at the exit of the sewage pipe. They stood on the bulges on both sides of the sewage outlet with guns in hand. on the ground.

Vito looked at them and snorted softly. He stood up in the shadow and walked directly out of the wire gate. He slid down the ramp at the edge of the sewer and walked directly to the sewer outlet. There was no dodging, no evasion or any disguise. That's it. Go straight to that place.

The two guards immediately spotted Vito, and they immediately raised their guns and aimed at Vito. The red laser sight shone on Vito's chest, and the guards holding the guns shouted loudly.

"Who is there?! Don't move! Otherwise we will shoot!" he shouted, and the two of them stared at the approaching black figure through the sights, but the black figure did not dodge or give in at all. Meaning, he just slowly raised a hand.

Suddenly, the two guards felt out of breath. They lowered their guns feebly and scratched at their necks. They couldn't breathe. Their organs seemed to be pinched by a hand and they couldn't breathe. The sobs suddenly rose, and they pressed their necks and struggled messily in the air with their limbs.

"You should have fired first, as a warning, and now, you have lost your only chance." Vito said and walked between the two people floating in the air. His clenched fingers suddenly tightened, and there was a sound of his neck breaking. There was a crisp sound, and the two guards fell to the ground as Vito let go of his hands.

Vito ignored the two corpses. He looked at the iron grating window of the sewage pipe, and gently made a pulling gesture with his palm. The grating door seemed to be really caught by something, and the fixing screws began to Holes were shot out one by one, and the bent and deformed iron rods made a clear breaking sound along with the twisted door frame.

The grate door, which was squeezed into scrap iron, crashed to the ground. Vito looked at the open sewage pipe and kicked it up suddenly. He jumped into the inside of the sewage pipe lightly, and stepped into the flickering black studded boots. Vito looked down at his boots in the unusually shiny wastewater and complained in a low voice in disgust.

"Guilliman, you should really be grateful for everything I have done now." Vito said as he waded into the water and walked deeper into the pipe. He walked along the dark pipe, and the turbid wastewater continued to flow from both sides of his legs. As it flows through, the pungent smell is unbearable, as if drilling through the domestic sewage pipes of a hive city.

Believe me, Vito has been there, and you won’t want to try it. The same is true for this pipe, but fortunately Vito didn’t have to endure the unpleasant smell for too long. He found the ventilation leading to the factory. pipeline.

Vito used his spiritual energy to destroy the ventilation fan with a light push of his fingers. The broken fan blades collapsed into countless fragments and scattered inside and outside the pipe. Vito got in and got into the narrow ventilation pipe.

He also passed through those complicated pipelines. He pursued the weak psychic signal in the dark space. It was the wind of destruction blowing from the subspace. Vito could sense it while he was still outside the factory. He could see the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and as he went deeper into the factory, the reaction of the spiritual energy became clearer and stronger.

Vito followed the psychic wave through the complex network structure. He passed through the surging machinery in the factory, and silently sneaked past the patrolling guards. In the darkness, he was able to pass through all the obstacles. Blockade and defense, he finally arrived at his destination, the place where all power comes from.

Vito sat down in the narrow pipe. He leaned on the wall of the pipe and looked down. He looked through the ventilation grille on the lower side of the pipe at the two guards standing in front of the blast-proof door. They were holding guns. , wearing a full set of armor similar to that of a stormtrooper, standing there, silently guarding his post.

Vito opened the grid window silently, and he suddenly jumped down and landed between the two guards. They were surprised by the sudden appearance of the enemy. Vito slapped a backhand, and powerful psychic power bombarded one of them. Knocking it away, he hit the wall and crashed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Vito unexpectedly deflected the gun of the guard behind him with his backhand. He rushed forward and punched him in the chin. The guard stepped back dizzily. When he finally stood firm, When he raised his gun, he saw a pair of combat boots flying towards him.

Vito kicked out, raised his leg as high as a dancer, and kicked the guard in the face with a swift force. He was kicked out and his head hit the concrete wall hard. The helmet on his head The helmet cracked due to the impact, and the impact was instantly transmitted to the guard's brain, causing him to faint instantly.

After Vito stood still, he turned and walked to the door. He looked at the thick explosion-proof door in front of him. Vito squinted slightly and then walked to the control panel on the side. The data interface popped up in the robotic arm of his right hand, and he opened it. After inserting it into the card slot of the data panel, the entire interface became distorted almost instantly.

The brief interruption did not last long. As the distorted picture flashed away, Helen appeared on the screen. She turned her eyes to look at Vito in front of her, and the latter raised his head slightly.

"Helen, invade the system, open this explosion-proof door, and turn off all alarm programs." Vito gave a brief order, and Helen closed her eyes slightly. Her eyes closed only lasted for a moment, and it ended at this moment. , Helen has broken through the firewall of the entire factory.

"Break through it, sir." Before Helen finished speaking, the thick explosion-proof door slowly opened, and the heavy mechanical drive shaft moved its iron door away.

"Very good, close all the blast-proof doors around. I don't want anyone to disturb me." Vito said and walked into the door. The sound of the heavy iron door opening attracted the attention of the guards in the corridor and the rooms on both sides. Attention, they all looked back and saw Vito standing at the gate.

"You shouldn't have come here, raise your hands and surrender immediately!" Colonel Bardock walked out of the guard, he shouted and raised his gun, his bolter muzzle pointed at Vito, and with his voice , all the guards raised their guns and pointed in Vito's direction, while the latter stood at the door, and the blast door behind him was closed again.

The guards looked at each other. They obviously didn't understand that this man was going crazy. Since he locked himself up with them, was he crazy? In just a moment, he would be beaten into a hornet's nest by dozens of guns.

"Surrender! Constantine, surrender immediately before we beat you into a sieve. This is your last chance!" the colonel shouted, and many guards behind him raised their guns, and with a crackling sound of loading, Explosive bombs and laser beams were aimed at the body of the man at the end of the corridor.

But the man had no fear at all. He raised his head slightly and looked at the guards at the end of the corridor, "You have made three mistakes, Colonel."

"First, you think that the Astartes cannot pass through narrow ventilation ducts, but completely neglect to guard against those ducts that extend in all directions. This will bring destruction to you."

"Second." Vito said, raising a hand, and golden lightning flashed in his eyes, "Since you think you can defeat me."

As Vito finished speaking, countless golden lightning leaped from his body, and the electric light that had never shone on him illuminated the entire corridor, "Third, you are the ones who should surrender. I give you this A chance, I give you who have been deceived a chance to choose, resist and die, or obey and live."

The colonel stared at Vito and roared angrily. He raised the bolt gun in his hand and pointed it at Vito's head and roared like an angry bear, "We will never betray Ms. Theresia. The Phantom Queen will give us strength and she will protect us." victory!"

Colonel Bardock pulled the trigger, and the explosive projectile shot towards Vito. The laser beam was deflected by invisible force almost instantly. The laser beam suddenly bounced from in front of Vito to the wall, and with the light of the explosion, Vito's face lit up, and he raised his arms filled with endless thunder and lightning.

"Very good, you have made your choice." Vito looked at the captain with his eyes flashing with lightning. He squinted slightly and the lightning instantly engulfed half of the corridor, and his body seemed to turn into ashes in the endless lightning. In one part, the guards behind the captain looked at Vito in horror, and everyone clenched the trigger in fear.

"You chose death." The roaring thunder said.
