Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 291 The Rise of the Primarch: The Emperor’s Angel of Redemption

The corporal of the defense force holding a gun stood in front of the closed gate. The laser gun he held was equipped with a bayonet. He and the surrounding men stood in front of the gate and pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the gate, but soon It's hard to say that this can give them any courage.

These guys who have become frightened can no longer be called soldiers. They are in complete panic like the civilians gathered in the hall behind them. Any sound outside the door can scare them to the point where their legs are shaking. The corporal is carrying Standing in front of the door with a bayonet attached, suddenly there was a loud bang on the door. The sound scared the corporal and took a big step back.

As the corporal retreated, the soldiers around him also retreated in fear, and the civilians behind these soldiers were even more frightened out of their wits. The screams of women and children sounded almost immediately, and everyone began to move back. He kept walking backwards, trying to stay away from the door.

The corporal held the gun and stared at the door. He didn't dare to blink. His bloodshot eyes were staring at the door nervously. Suddenly, there was another crash on the door. The corporal shivered back in fright. He took several trembling steps back, and did not stop until he bumped into a civilian.

The soldiers were frightened and overwhelmed by the sudden chaotic sound outside the door. These young soldiers who had never fought in a war looked at the door in horror. Countless crashes and bangs came from outside the door, the sound of bolters and chains. The roars of saw swords sounded one after another, and the chaotic sounds were also mixed with shouts of death and screams.

The sound of intensive bolt gunfire sounded like thunder outside the door. No, there was even the sound of a real thunderstorm. The bursts of thunder were like a thunderstorm gathering outside the door. Soon the roaring lightning struck the door. On the door, a sudden explosion hit the door. The lightning quickly spread along the entire facade, and the hissing arc sound penetrated the door and echoed in everyone's ears.

The soldiers' hands were shaking nervously as they held their guns. They didn't know what was happening outside the door, but they were certain that it was definitely not done by one of their own. None of them knew how to use large-caliber bolters and chain saws. Sword, and no one can cast lightning, only the traitors can do it.

"Stand still! Hold your guns, you idiots!" A colonel political commissar wearing a dark blue navy coat walked out of the crowd. He wore the navy political commissar's unique blue big-brimmed hat and held a laser pistol in his hand. When he came, he pushed back a soldier who was so frightened that he almost retreated into the crowd.

The political commissar roared and drove the young soldiers back to their positions. He held the laser gun and walked to the door. His laser right eye embedded with the mechanical eye stared at the door in front of him. The sound of chain saws was coming from came from outside, he frowned and looked at the door that had been dented by bullets.

"Sir, what should we do?! This is already the deepest part of the space station!" The panicked corporal next to him shouted to the colonel. He was still completely confused. As the corporal shouted, the surrounding soldiers They also began to panic. They looked around with guns in hand, and their panic also affected the civilians behind them.

Chaos and fear spread among the crowd, and the civilians began to shout. The screams of women, the cries of children, and the panic shouts of the men made the hall completely chaotic.

The turbulent crowd began to squeeze each other, and screams and screams rang out among the civilians huddled in the entire hall. It seemed that someone was trampled or squeezed into the wall. Seeing this, the political commissar raised his gun and fired a shot at the ceiling. .

As the gunfire rang out, the corporal next to him shivered in fright. He took several steps back and almost fell over. The soldiers around him looked at the political commissar who fired the gun in horror, holding their guns in their hands. The panicked civilians also stopped and looked around. Running and screaming, he looked at the political commissar who was standing in front of the crowd and in front of the door that was constantly being hit.

The political commissar raised his pistol and roared at them, "Show some of your backbone as soldiers! You are the Emperor's Hammer! The Emperor's Blade, I don't care what you have done in this damn place before! Now put the gun up Well, if we are definitely going to die today, think about what you will tell the Emperor when you see him?"

"Are you going to die screaming like a coward, or are you holding a gun and fighting until the last moment like a warrior?!" After the political commissar said that, he turned and faced the door. A bomb hit the door, and a huge roar echoed. In the entire hall, the political commissar raised his pistol and pointed it in the direction of the door without blinking.

As the political commissar raised his gun, I don't know if what he said really inspired them, or if it was just a dead horse and a living horse. The soldiers who were still panicking just now raised their guns and aimed at the closed door.

The civilians looked at the door with horrified eyes, but suddenly the entire ceiling and walls shook. A huge object flew past the ceiling above their heads, and a huge shock wave shook the entire space station.

Large swaths of dust fell from the ceiling, and the statues on the surrounding walls began to crack and collapse. The huge overall vibration caused cracks to appear on the walls and the ground. The crowd screamed in terror again. The colonel held a pistol and looked above his head. Maintaining sufficient composure, he learned how to overcome fear as early as in Tadashi Academy and fight against the potential heretical ideas that came with it, such as capitulationism.

The colonel looked at the dust falling above his head. His eyes followed the object that caused huge vibrations when it passed by. His blue eyes looked at the chandelier above his head that was shaking with the shock. There was even a chandelier in it. The buckle snapped due to the shock, falling directly from the air and hitting the crowd.

Fortunately, the few people below were able to dodge quickly, otherwise their heads would have been smashed by the golden chandelier. The colonel looked at them and immediately looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows to one side. The thing passing over their heads was coming from Passing by, the huge thing flew out from above the glass window, its end lit up with bright light.

The colonel still didn't put down his pistol, but he and the surrounding soldiers and civilians watched the big guy passing by. The huge plasma thruster flew past the floor-to-ceiling windows, sending a terrifying shock wave on the outside of the space station. The steel-framed glass on the glass window vibrated violently between the reinforced grids, and crisp sounds kept ringing between the gaps in the glass.

The big guy flew away from the window. The huge body slowly turned after flying for a long distance. The colonel looked at the red battleship. There were several layers of macro cannon muzzles arranged on its side. The thick cannons The tube protrudes from under the gun mantlet, and at the front of the endless array of cannons are two juxtaposed symbols. The Imperial Navy's Sky Eagle and the Mechanicum's skull symbols shine together in the halo of Jupiter.

Suddenly, the macro cannons on the side of the giant ship fired a salvo. The huge flames from the macro cannon muzzles instantly illuminated the entire side of the battleship. The gushing flames burned briefly in the vacuum environment, and dozens of shots were fired from the fire cloud. The macrocannon shells were fired in the direction of the space station.

The civilians screamed when they saw the incoming shells, and the people closest to the windows began to retreat. They were joined by the backlog behind them, and the chaotic crowd huddled together inside the hall, as if they could get rid of those who fired. It's like an explosion in mid-space.

The colonel looked at the incoming cannonballs. He did not run away. He calmly looked at the dozens of incoming cannonballs. Suddenly, before the cannonballs hit them, a huge shadow appeared. It was a gray-black ship. , without any decoration, so simple that it can even be called an ugly steel battleship.

That was the warship of the Chaos traitors. The colonel watched the huge ship sliding past the window of the space station. It happened to be in the trajectory of the cannonball. Or rather, the red imperial warship calculated and predicted it. We fired at that location only after the route.

More than a dozen macro-cannon shells all hit the steel battleship, and its void shields all lit up. Huge flames surged on its body. Fire clouds rose from the sides of the battleship, and the fire illuminated it. Everyone in the hall of the entire space stared at the explosion of flames.

Suddenly, several blue beams penetrated from the fire cloud. The powerful blue beam hit the steel battleship's void shield, and all of them hit a small area. The battleship's void shield instantly After being pierced by the beam of light, a gap quickly appeared on the flashing shield, and then quickly spread and disappeared in all directions.

The colonel looked at the red battleship on the edge of the flames. Its plasma thrusters were rapidly ignited and moving forward at full power. The red battleship quickly rushed to the side and rear of the steel battleship. At the same time, countless flashes of light were shot out from the buildings on its back. Points, those light points slid through the space with long tails, and then they all slammed into the steel battleship.

Countless explosions exploded one after another in a short period of time, and the entire side of the steel battleship was swallowed up by the rolling fire. The broken steel wreckage rolled with the fire on the surface of the steel battleship, while the red battleship moved away from the ship at a speed completely disproportionate to its size. The steel battleship passed in front of him.

It escaped from the shooting range when the steel battleship fired back. Almost all the macro-cannon shells fired in a series were dodged. Only one of them hit the side and rear thruster position of the red battleship, but the shell was also instantly blocked by the void shield. Blocked, the explosion lit up briefly and then was torn apart as the red battleship advanced rapidly.

"What are you doing?" The political commissar looked at the battleship in surprise. He was also the political commissar of the navy after all, and he was well-informed about various battleships, but he had never seen such a fast cruiser. His speed was simply too fast. Like an assault ship.

The red cruiser ignited the reverse thrust engine at the rear of the steel battleship, and the two-way vector nozzle on the belly ignited instantly. Giant flames accompanied by electric fire shot out from the nozzle instantly. The huge battleship thus completed a textbook, even More exciting emergency steering.

The battleship threw its tail to the rear, and the huge hull tilted slightly to one side, but it still completed the tail-turn like drifting in a curve. The political commissar really didn't know if the sailors on the ship were still because of the captain. It's a mess of things turning crazy and turning upside down.

But it was precisely because of this sudden sharp turn that the red battleship was able to aim all the muzzles on the other side at the steel battleship. The majestic battleship's tail plasma thruster was ignited at full power, stretching out an ion flame for more than ten kilometers. Pushing the battleship towards me at a rapid speed, the side guns fired simultaneously as it passed over the surface of the steel battleship.

Within a very short distance, the warships of both sides were in close combat, and the macro cannons on the side ships of the steel warships also fired at the same time. The cannonballs of both sides fired at each other at extremely close range, and each other's cannonballs hit each other almost in the blink of an eye.

A series of violent explosions exploded on the sides of the battleships on both sides. The entire side armor of the steel battleship was penetrated by a salvo. The powerful macro cannon shells penetrated the side armor of the battleship. A series of dense explosions tore apart the entire hull of the steel battleship. , it exploded from the center, and the ammunition depot or something else exploded and broke it into two sections.

Huge flames washed over the outer wall of the space station, and the entire glass surface crackled under the impact of the fire. The colonel looked at the fire rushing through the windows. He was different from other guys who were worried that the windows would break. Colonel Looking for the incredible red battleship on the edge of the gradually weakening fire cloud.

It appeared, and the red battleship rushed out of the sea of ​​fire. Its void shield flashed on the surface and blocked most of the artillery fire. The colonel looked at the red battleship flying out into the distance and couldn't believe it. Eyes, he has been a political commissar in the Navy for more than ten years, and he has never seen such an incredible space battle.

The battleship that rushed out after the "bayonet fight in space" at extremely close range turned in the void. It completed the turn again and fired a series of shells at the side in a certain direction. Then a burst of fire lit up in the space background at the edge of the window. .

The colonel and the soldiers around him looked at the red battleship flying away into the distance to participate in the next battleship duel. The soldiers looked at each other in disbelief. The corporal approached the colonel from the side with a gun in his hand and asked softly.

"Commissar, is that our ship?"

The colonel was just about to answer the corporal when suddenly there was a knock on the door next to them. The colonel was startled and immediately raised his gun and pointed it in that direction. All the soldiers also raised their guns and aimed at the knocking sound in fear. The sound of the door.

The sound of the battle outside the door was as fierce as in space. The sound of gunshots, chain saws and shouts of death disappeared, but in the silence there was something knocking on the door, and his powerful fist slapped on the door. .

The iron fist knocked on the door, ringing again and again. The civilians stared at the door with wide eyes and trembling. These common people in the solar system who had never seen war were frightened by everything that had happened before. They looked at it like frightened birds. The door that was knocked.

The soldiers around the colonel didn't get there either. The remaining defense troops looked at the knocking on the door in horror. They all looked to the colonel for instructions.

The colonel looked at the closed door that stopped after the knocking. He took a deep breath and nodded to the corporal on the side. He pointed the pistol at the lever beside the door and said, "Open it."

"But sir, what if this is a trap? What if the traitors trick us into opening the door?" the corporal asked hesitantly, with fear in his words.

The colonel held the gun and shook his head, "If they are traitors, they can just blow open the door without having to play any deception tricks with us. Besides, the battleship outside the window is also a ship of the Imperial Navy, and the guys outside are... It appeared at the same time."

"Open the door, this is an order." The colonel said seriously. After much hesitation, the corporal walked to the door with his gun in hand. He hesitated for a moment when he looked at the handle and stretched out his hand to approach the thing, but in the end he held the handle. , and then pushed it up violently.

As the handle was pushed to the top, the entire door began to rumble apart from the center. A long and narrow gap split from the central axis of the door. The two wide door panels opened to both sides along the track. The cold wind in the corridor He also rushed into the hall.

The civilians took a step back, and the soldiers nervously raised their weapons, but soon they were all stunned. The corporal walked past the door with a gun in his hand. He looked at the person at the door in a daze. , then strode back to the colonel. He stood behind the colonel and stuttered in shock, "He, he, they are."

"The angel of salvation sent by the Emperor." The colonel said, inserting the pistol into the holster. He looked at Vito standing at the gate. He held Anton holding a new gun with one hand and the other. He held the Phoenix Sword on his shoulder, and the low-blood sword dropped drops of blood on his smooth black leather windbreaker.

The colonel looked at the boy. He was obviously not standing still outside just now. There was a lot of blood on his body, and there was blood dripping on the barrel of the gun. Behind him, the three Astartes were also covered in blood. The bloody ones stood behind him. Behind them were corpses on the ground, corpses in the entire corridor. The corpses of the traitor Astartes and mortal traitors fell in the entire corridor.

Vito smiled jokingly. He placed his sword gently against the ground, lowered his head politely, and bowed slightly to the colonel and the civilians and soldiers in the hall.

"Judge Vito Constantine, at your service."
