Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The spear whizzed down and pierced Vito's hood. If he hadn't dodged in time, he might have been pierced by the spear sword in the back of the head. The giant with the gun stepped on the ground with a bang, crushing the ground beside the pool, and the water splashed on him. There was splashing at the feet.

Vito dodged to one side, his hood torn off in the process, and the sharp spear left a thin line of blood on his forehead.

He jumped back and landed on the ground, and the spear-wielding man quickly attacked, holding the golden spearhead and fired a fatal shot. Vito quickly dodged to one side, and the spear pierced his chest, huge The impact made Vito almost unable to open his eyes.

He took a big step back and held the Phoenix Sword under the robe at his waist with his backhand, but when he saw his face clearly, Vito's fingers holding the sword subtly adjusted their position.

Vito pulled out the Phoenix Sword with his backhand, swung it in front of him and hit the spear that was coming. Sparks instantly shot out between the two weapons, the fine iron screamed, and the steel trembled and tore into pieces the ground.

He sent out a shock wave with the palm of his other hand, hitting the golden armor all of a sudden, causing him to step back, but he stopped instantly with his spear on the ground.

There was a long crack left on the ground between the two of them. He held the spear and looked at it, then pulled it out from the ground suddenly, rotated it in a circle and put it in the palm of his hand.

"Hold your weapon, Vito Constantine, I will not show mercy." He said harshly, coldly and without mercy. Vito looked at him, but did not attack.

"Waldo, I'm not here to fight you. We are brothers."

Those words seemed to sting Waldo. The golden giant glared and rushed forward. The spear of dawn in his hand stabbed out. The tip of the spear hit the Phoenix Sword, and a large spark splashed on Vito's face. The cold and temperatureless flame illuminated his eyes, and also illuminated Waldo's in front of him.

He turned sideways, and the end of the spear hit Vito's flank hard, sending him flying. Vito hit a stone pillar, and felt a sharp pain in his ribs.

"Hold your weapons! Use your power! Because I will not show mercy, you and I are no longer brothers!" Waldo shouted, but he did not attack immediately, but waited for Vito to gasp. Cool down and return to the crumbling rocky ground.

He was still the same as in the impression. He would never attack someone who had no ability to fight back. He waited until Vito regained his feet before taking action again. As fast as golden lightning, the Spear of Dawn cut through the air and collided with the Phoenix Sword. .

The sound of metal clashing echoed between the ancient walls and colonnades, and the water under his feet also rippled due to the impact of the clash of swords. Vito was knocked out of the water and waded backwards through the dark water, while Waldo They jumped into the pool together and launched rapid and fierce attacks with the spears in their hands.

Someone once said that the Custodes are the most powerful warriors in the universe. No one can defeat them in close combat, even the powerful demons under Khorne. And Waldo is their leader. The Custodes once The commander-in-chief.

His attack was powerful and deadly, and Vito was unable to parry, but he did not use his powerful psychic power, but continued to defend one-sidedly.

Waldo seized the opportunity, jumped back, and used his spear to stir up the black water in front of him and spray it towards Vito. At the moment when the latter retreated, Waldo launched an offensive, thrust his spear out of the water, and shot Vito in the face. There was a bloody gash on it.

He turned his spear and knocked Vito out of the water. He hit the big tree on the shore and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Fight me seriously! Vito, I said I won't show mercy!" Waldo said as he stepped into the water, while Vito stood up with his sword in his hand. He held the hilt of the sword and looked at the man coming from the water. Waldo.

"What makes you so angry? Brother, I'm here to talk, not to fight to the death." Vito said, raising his hand to block Waldo's spear with a sword, and the tip of the spear passed over his forehead. Sparks fell on his face.

Waldo pressed down Vito with a gun in both hands, kicked him violently, and kicked Vito away. He flew out and hit the ground hard, while Waldo pulled out a spear and glared at him. .

"You ask me why? You know why! Back then you knew that the Emperor's Primarch plan had fatal flaws, you knew it, you knew it, but you still chose to remain silent and helped him force her to give birth to her child. Take them away again!”

Waldo roared fiercely, like a roaring lion on his shoulder. Vito looked at him and stood up with his sword. He thought Waldo would angrily denounce what he had done with the Inquisition, everything in the empire over the years, but no matter I never expected that he was referring to her.

"No, Valdor, I didn't know. I only found out after Dr. Astartes told me."

"No! You know everything!" Waldo roared, with anger flashing in his eyes, "Don't try to deceive me, I know that in Moro, you were also there when he first went to Moro! Vito Constantine , you helped him steal power from Chaos, and maybe a part of you in it."

"You killed all the other Eternals to keep it a secret, I know it! Vito! Don't try to lie to me!"

Waldo roared and rushed forward, rushing like a lion, raising the spear in his hand high and then slashing it down. Vito blocked the blow, but his arm hurt.

"You know that the Primarchs are destined to be unable to escape the madness of the Thunder Warriors. She begged you not to join that force, but you helped him force her! Added the blood of madness to it!"

"No! Waldo, I objected, I tried to dissuade him, I told him that the Thunder Warriors had been a lesson, and he tried to convince him!"

"No! You didn't!" Waldo glared, "You are with him. You already know what kind of person he is, but you still choose to side with him! You even deceived me!"

Waldo fired another shot, and the tip of the gun hit Vito's sword, making him take a few steps back before barely stopping. Waldo's eyes flashed with anger, and the tip of the gun stood cold.

"You told me that the genetic laboratory was for her safety. He asked you to come to me and build it together. I built the high wall with my own hands, but I was deceived by you. I didn't know it was a prison built for her!"

He rushed forward again, and fired out his spear. Cold light flashed, and the roar of fine iron brought a stinging and numb feeling. He pressed the tip of the spear and pressed towards Vito, "You and him lock her in In the Himalayas, because she knew your plan, you imprisoned her just to give birth to those twenty-one children, what you called weapons!"

"I never looked at them that way, Waldo, you know."

"Then you should stop him!" Waldo roared, swinging the tip of the spear, flying the Phoenix Sword and stabbing the spear with his backhand. This time Vito was forced to use his psychic powers, and he summoned his stance to take the stabbing blow. The tip of the spear was knocked away by Waldo's subsequent punches.

"That day, when she opened the rift to send them away, I saw his eyes, cold and ruthless, all his attention was on the other side of the rift, annoyed that his twenty-one weapons were taken away, and To her, that look was like looking at a tool that was incompetent and destined to be abandoned!"

Waldo turned the spear sharply, and the tip of the spear wiped dazzling sparks on the ground. He glared at Vito, furious, "He asked you to kill her, get rid of her, and everyone in the Himalayas Laboratory, you You did, didn’t you?”

"You killed her! You killed everyone present that day, except me. No, I doubt he also thought about getting rid of me, right? I sent you here to attack me from behind!"

"I used to trust you so much! When you asked me to get rid of the Thunder Warriors on Mount Altus, I didn't hesitate at all. I believed in you! I regarded you as my biological brother, but you deceived me, as his Executioner, holding the knife behind me!"

Waldo roared angrily, his voice causing ripples in the surrounding pool water and shaking leaves from the treetops. Vito looked at his angry face and felt extremely ashamed, and even more painful.

He wanted to tell him that she did not die that day, and that the Emperor did let him kill her, but he did not. After getting rid of everyone in the genetic laboratory, Vito let her go and arranged for her to go to Africa to live in seclusion. He also hid this from the Emperor.

He had carefully kept this secret, and even the Emperor had never known it. He thought he had completed his mission, but in order to protect her, Vito even had to hide Waldo.

He didn't know why he did this at the time. His lover, Dr. Astarte, died. He was in great pain at the time, but in the end he chose to let her go and let her leave with those secrets.

He didn't know why, maybe because of shame, maybe because of regret, just like he felt towards Waldo now.

He knew that his brother would hate him, but he still chose to hide it and bury the secret deep in his heart. He could have told him now, but he couldn't.

He didn't protect her well. When Erebus found her, he didn't protect her there. When he found her, it was too late.

Thinking of this, the flames of that day seemed to reappear before his eyes. He looked at Waldo in his eyes, as if he saw her face. For a moment, Vito's heart twisted. He wanted to tell Waldo, but he finally chose Bury that pain to yourself again.

For him, maybe it would be better if Erda died by his own hands. At least he knew that he would not cause her pain when he did it, instead of Erebus strangling her to death and suffocating to death with a little pain. .

He saw Waldo rushing towards him. He hated himself, his eyes were full of hatred for the emperor. He was once his best brother, his true brother, but now, the brothers are at war with each other.

For a moment, Vito felt extremely tired. He raised his head and sighed. He did not block or dodge, but closed his eyes and waited for the spear to fall. He was tired, so maybe let it end.

But in the end, there was only a strong wind blowing on his face in the darkness. After a moment of hesitation, Vito opened his eyes. He looked at the spear parked in front of him, which was less than half a mile away from his face. inch.

"Damn Vito, tell me, why did you do that? You know what kind of person he is, why did you help him?"

"I once saw Horus's chess table when he started the heresy. All the chess pieces on it were swept under the table and fell below. Everyone, me and you. I still remember the day he will There was no mercy and no hesitation the moment we got off the table.”

Vito did not speak. He looked at Waldo silently. His brother then lowered his head, with complex emotions hidden in his eyes, tangled and extremely painful.

"Vito, join me and take revenge on him. He must be stopped. You know what kind of person he is." Waldo begged, but Vito was silent.

"Tell me his true name, and you and I join hands, before it's too late, before the Golden Throne sends him to the highest heaven, before it's too late."

Waldo looked at the silent Vito, he sighed deeply, then stood up with the gun in his hand, the gun was removed from Vito's face, the tall golden giant stood in front of him, looking down at his sad eyes.

"You are not here to walk the same road with me, right? You are not here to end your life." Waldo said, "Tell me, why are you here? Why do you want to see me?"

He calmed down, the anger seemed to disappear suddenly, and only sadness remained in his tone. He missed her.

Vito was silent for a long time. He lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, "I need the soul container you found. The child needs him, Sanguinius, I want to save him." "It took me thousands of years to piece it together, and I paid a price you can't imagine. It was used to imprison the Emperor's soul. I will bind him to the throne forever, burn the Astronomican, suppress the Webway, and pay for his actions." Waldo said, "In this way, our compatriots will not perish. You, me, and her children can truly fulfill our mission according to her long-cherished wishes, not his, his paranoid and crazy dreams." "Tell me, Vito, why should I give you the container? Give you the only weapon that can fight him?" Waldo asked. "Why did you do this? Save the angel, even if you know that you may be forced to kill him one day, before the warp power in their bodies consumes him, just like before he becomes Fulgrim and the others?"

"I am just paying off my debt. Before she took her last breath, she asked me to protect her children. I promised her. I owe her." Vito responded with only this sentence.

Valdo looked at him silently, his pupils trembling slightly. After a moment, Valdo turned his back to Vito. He looked at the old tree with fallen leaves. The fallen leaves fell on the dark water, creating ripples.

He was silent for a long time, but finally spoke and walked away at the same time, "The container is buried under the gate on the mountainside."

"Valdo." Vito called him, "She will be proud of you."

Valdo turned his back to him and was silent for a moment, "Will we meet again at the end?" he asked.

Vito smiled, somewhat relieved, "Yes, but a happy ending is not for me. I have done far more wrong things than right things in my life. They are all debts, and I will pay them off, without missing a single one."

Vito turned and left, and walked towards the half-closed gate. Waldo turned his head and looked at his receding back, sighed deeply and smiled, "You have paid off a debt, my brother."

Sarah moved the stone and fixed the stone pier under the fence gate. She stood up and looked at the repaired gate in front of her tiredly but happily.

Her skirt was stained, her socks had several buttons broken, and her boots were ruined, but Sarah was not as annoyed as she had imagined. Instead, she felt a little proud. "This is the first time I have repaired something, and it was repaired successfully. This feeling of joy is quite good, more enjoyable than any excitement."

"This is the joy of labor. You should try more." Petronilla said, and then turned around and saw Vito coming down. "Have you seen him?"

"Yes." Vito said, raising his finger to point at the low wall, and the wall collapsed instantly. It overturned and collapsed on the mountain road, and the rubble rolled down the slope. Sarah looked at the result she had worked so hard to complete and was pushed over. Her eyes widened instantly, and then she yelled at him angrily.

"Hey! It took me a full hour to repair it!"

She looked at Vito, and he came to the remains of the low wall and squatted down, stretched out his hand to move a few stones, and took out a wrapped thing from below. He stood up with the thing, and Sarah looked at the thing curiously and felt the magic in it.

"Let's say goodbye now. He's still up there. Let's go find him." Vito said to Petronilla, and then walked down the mountain path without looking back. Sarah shrugged at Petronilla, then followed him over the pile of rocks.

Petronilla stood behind the door and looked at his back, watching Sarah approach him with her hands behind her back, "Where are we going next?"

"To find another debtor."
