Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The noisy sound did not affect Jack. He turned a blind eye to what was happening in front of him and paid full attention to the armrest of the throne that his fingers were touching.

He stroked the silver snake gently with his hand. He remembered asking his aunt why the silver snake was carved on the throne instead of the family rose pattern.

Olivia told him that it was to not forget the past and remember the pain and fear of the past. He asked her, what is in the fear? Why remember it.

"Courage is born out of fear, and this is the most important gift of the Governor. You have to remember it and let fear bring you strength when you need it."

Jack always remembered that sentence. He learned a lot from Olivia, but for some reason, that sentence was the first thing that came to his mind.

Perhaps it has something to do with the current environment. All the surviving noble families gathered here, and Antony Brutus preached loudly in front of them, using his eloquence to exaggerate the current crisis atmosphere and recommend the "suitable" "The importance of the choice of acting governor.

It was a coup, and now Jack understood it all. He had been recalling and piecing together memories during this silence, and now he knew the true face of the guy.

The leader of these rebels is not Tyrfan. He is just a pawn, played by this insidious outsider.

Jack sat on the throne behind Anthony. He glanced at the people in the palace. All the living people were here. Both the loyalists and the rebels were in this hall. The gates everywhere were guarded by guards. It was not difficult to see those guards. Who did you listen to?

The two factions are also very different. The eyes of the loyalists are full of worry and panic, while the rebels are also full of suspicion and do not seem to be completely sure of success. Faced with Anthony's speech, their morale is not high.

Before entering here, Master Mogrim originally followed him, but was blocked from the door. Tyrfan said that this was a human matter and had nothing to do with demihumans, although he was more talking about aliens at the time.

Morgrim was blocked out, and now he was sitting here alone, but soon Jack realized his mistake, and pink hair fell from his hands.

His fiancée was sitting next to him, on a chair placed next to the throne. Her eyes were calm without any panic, as if she was a queen who was calm in the face of danger, solemn and authoritative.

To be honest, she is more like a governor than herself, and she should sit on this throne. Those on the rebel side dare not look at her, as if Olivia is still alive.

But Jack also noticed something wrong with his fiancée, and it wasn't because she put on men's clothes and her hair was braided for activities.

In the past, she was not a traditional aristocratic lady. She could ride a motorcycle. Naturally, she would often wear clothes that were less beautiful but more convenient for movement, but this time she seemed to be extraordinarily different.

Jack suddenly felt that she was very strange, and there was a sense of mystery in her familiar eyes. She always looked at him with a half-smile, silent, but seemed to be urging him, reminding him what to do.

Jack looked at her, put his hand on the back of her hand and made his decision. The young governor pushed forward, and the clatter of the chair interrupted Anthony, making him turn around again.

Everyone in the hall looked at Jack in front of the throne. The child, who was only fourteen years old, was full of momentum at the moment, without any of the weakness of a child.

He took a deep breath, looked at them and said, "Lord Varsim, when you were still unknown, it was my adoptive mother and Governor Olivia who brought you opportunities, and you have your current status. , but you chose to betray."

Lord Varsim stood in the crowd and lowered his head in shame after hearing the words. He did not roll up his sleeves to show a sign of betrayal, but his previous silence still made him ashamed.

"Lord Corti, you are a follower of the previous traitorous governor. Many people suggested that we kill you, deprive you of your property and exile your family, but Olivia did not. My mother let you go. But you betrayed her."

Jack said sternly, Corti buried his head speechlessly below, and another person on the side looked at him, and his name was soon called.

"Master Gorov, I remember that you were a worker at the bottom of the hive city. I have known my mother for a long time. She did not forget you after she returned to the position of governor. She rewarded you, but you sided with the traitor. Together."

The mottled-haired Gorov did not reply, but he was obviously ashamed. Others around him also looked at each other in silence.

Anthony frowned as he looked at them, while Jack behind him continued.

"Lord Dix, your son died for the Emperor and died in the war against Chaos, but you turned to the traitor. What would your son think of his last name if he knew it?"

As before, when faced with the question from this fourteen-year-old child, the entire audience was silent and no one answered, no one responded either the rebels or the loyal ones.

"The Emperor deceived us. He took away what should have been ours and made us kneel down before him." Anthony spoke immediately, trying to restore the atmosphere of the scene, but he was quickly confused by the man who had never been honest with him. The boy who saw it pressed back.

"We all have received favor from the Emperor in this life. The Emperor may have hidden a lot from us, but we owe him just as much for his kindness to us."

Jack said, the boy showed a backbone that he shouldn't have at that age, and his fiancée beside him looked at him with a mysterious smile.

"The Jonson family will not forget, nor will the people of Victoria, they will forget today's betrayal, your treachery here."

Jack continued to speak with his head held high, looking around at the crowd, "You chose to betray, and your family name will be smeared forever, but I will not, I am a member of the Johnson family, and I will not let my name be humiliated. "

As soon as these words came out, Tyrfan also frowned and fell into a tangle. Jack didn't look at him, not even a glance. Instead, he glanced at Anthony and then turned to his lover beside him.

"I'm sorry dear, this traitor wants me to surrender on my knees to his Chaos master, who promises to keep you and me safe."

"But I say, fuck it, I'm not going to surrender to Chaos, I'm not going to kneel to the traitors, so I'm sorry, I guess you're going to have to die here with me."

She responded to him with a smile, and then nodded silently. Jack took a deep breath. He looked at the people in front of him who were looking at each other. Among them, Varsim came out and he looked at Jack.

"I chose silence before because I didn't know whether you could be trusted and whether you were as worthy of everything as your adoptive mother." Lord Varsim said.

"But I was wrong."

As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, especially Falti.

"Jack Jonson is Olivia's heir. I have sworn to be loyal to her, and I will do the same now." Valsim said and pulled out his gun. He pointed the gun at the sight of everyone. Anthony then came to Jack's side.

Anthony glared at him, "You made the wrong choice, Varsim, you are on the wrong side."

Before Anthony finished speaking, Corti also came out from the crowd behind him. He ignored Anthony's angry eyes and looked directly at Jack who was standing in front of the throne.

"I joined the rebels and I will regret it for the rest of my life, but if you make a mistake, you can only ask for forgiveness."

Jack looked at him and spoke after a moment of silence, "My adoptive mother always told me that compassion and forgiveness require more courage than punishment, sir."

After listening to his words, Tyrfan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he pulled out the knife and reluctantly cut off the skin on his arm in front of everyone. He cut off the mark of Tzeentch and threw it away with blood. on the ground.

He pulled out his gun and came to Jack's side. Anthony looked at him with a puzzled and surprised look on his face. Jack stood there overlooking all living beings.

As if moved by the fourteen-year-old child's eyes, the crowd made a choice, some people went over there, and others stayed.

Blood fell to the ground along with the skin marked by Tzeentch, Marble sipped hungrily, Anthony glared at the crowd around Jack, they all drew their guns.

"You made the wrong choice and are seeking your own death."

"Death is better than betrayal." Jack said, his majestic figure stood out among adults.

"Your plan has been exposed a long time ago, don't you see? You are just an arrogant coward, hiding behind the person being used. You have no future at all."

"You try to play that ridiculous mortal game with the Marshal, but you don't know that he is a god, and you are always and always a mortal, Antony Brutus."

These words seemed to make Anthony furious. He raised his hands, and the guards behind him raised their guns.

"You chose the wrong path, Jack Jonson. You could have chosen the right path."

"This is the right way, loyalty, the only way." Jack said firmly.

"Then pay for it."

Anthony finished speaking, but what he got in exchange was not gunshots, but an explosion of flesh and blood. Behind him, the heads of the guards exploded, like a brilliant fireworks.

Anthony was shocked, while Jack himself looked at his fiancée who stood up beside him. She slowly stood up from the chair, with golden light shining in her eyes, and her appearance changed in the blink of an eye.

She took on the form of Vito.

When Jack was shocked, he looked at Vito, and Vito smiled at him with relief.

"You will make a good governor, Jack Jonson, as your aunt told me."

Vito said coldly, and for a moment Jack seemed to understand everything. He remembered what Master Mogrim said to him before coming in.

“Remember what you learn, use it well, and you’ll be qualified.”

At this moment, he understood everything. He looked at Vito in surprise. He looked at Anthony with a smile, and his expression suddenly turned grim.

"Now, game over."

He said softly, and before realizing it, all the heads on the rebel side exploded, including Tyrfan. They all died on the spot before they had time to react.

Blood rained in the air. Anthony was startled and immediately took a step back. He took out the box containing the black fragments, but his arm suddenly broke, and his legs twisted in a full circle as he screamed.

Jack watched him fall to the ground, screams could not be heard. Vito walked up, his expression cold as if he had no emotion.

"I understand one thing now."

he said coldly.

"You are not one of Tzeentch, you are just a clown in his tricks to entertain us, although his sense of humor is as bad as ever."

"I still need to face his real conspiracy, and you."

Vito didn't finish speaking, as if it was unnecessary. Those contemptuous eyes made Anthony's anger on the ground overcome the pain.

"The Lord of Change! He will tell me everything, and you! You will live forever in the Emperor's lies!"

Jack looked into Vito's eyes, which showed a trace of sad pity.

"Poor man, you know nothing."

Anthony roared angrily. He used his broken elbow to open the box in front of him. He recited a spell loudly. In an instant, the space behind him began to distort. Jack was surprised to see the subspace rift that tore open.

Countless arms stretched out from it, howls and screams, and more terrifying things that frightened Jack emerged from it, as if running towards reality.

Anthony laughed, "Let's see who knows nothing!"

Before Anthony even finished speaking, the gap closed instantly, and all the fear disappeared. He was extremely surprised, and Jack only had a contemptuous smile on Vito's face when he saw it.

"Know nothing."

After he said this, Anthony's head and body exploded, the betrayer's body collapsed in pieces, and Vito turned around.

Everyone looked at him in shock, especially Jack, but he just smiled faintly.

"I'll give you ninety points, don't be too proud."

"But if you get down from that position, your mother asked me to send you a message. She's not dead yet. Don't be in a hurry to sit on it."
