Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The rising dawn slowly rose on the horizon. Its light extended from the east of Holy Terra and soon covered the entire land. Just like it had done for hundreds of millions of years in the past, the city was shining in its glory. The bell was awakened below, and on the towering spire, the big bell was rung under the first ray of orange light.

That is the voice of equality for all living beings, just like the light. No matter whether the people on Terra are high or low, rich or noble, or what their status is, they are all equal before this. As written in the Imperial Code, everyone is born equal. , but well, most of the time the Empire's compliance with the Code is a little... lacking.

Even the sun is like this, but today it is ironic that it is the arrogant nobles who face such injustice and differential treatment. Their luxurious mansions, as well as the silent and luxurious palaces and churches, are all shrouded in darkness. In the shadows, the sunlight suddenly seemed to be cut off at the edge of the city, exposing a section, and everything behind it was submerged in darkness.

When the people on the ground looked up, the panicked ladies and their gentlemen looked overhead, looking for something that obscured the sun, then they would see the big thing in the sky.

And in the sky, when they all looked up, there was also a pair of eyes looking down at them. The huge wings emitted a faint light in the sun, and its light particles fell on the ground, like a surrounding swarm of fireflies.

"This place is smaller than my impression. Is the Summer Palace gone?" "It was demolished after the rebellion. The damage there was too serious, and there is no need to repair it. Besides, the palace after that , and we don’t need so much space.”

Guilliman came to her side, and they looked down with her at the shadowed Himalayas below, and at the foot of them the royal palace, both shrouded in darkness, as if the night had not yet ended.

"What a pity. I like the colorful puzzles there. It seems that the rebellion caused more damage than I thought." Sanguinius sighed. To be honest, Guilliman is still adapting to her current voice and identity. This There is always something that makes him feel strange, brothers, becoming sisters.

Although Vito said that he had always wanted to get some sisters for them back then, so that these guys would not start to compare and compare with each other in a macho way as soon as they got together, and the comparison methods were not very popular. , if there are a few women around, it will give these energetic guys a better way to show off.

But Guilliman always felt strange. In various senses, he was still understanding the difference between Sanguinius' status now. He really didn't know how Russ would react when he saw her like this after she came back.

"I hope dad is okay, I mean, at least happy, you know, he always was back then." "Stern face, I know, but he's about the same now, you'll see him soon "Although, I guess you won't be happy about this. Where is Conrad?" "He is nearby. I guess he will show up when we set off. You know, he never likes to talk."

Sanguinius said and turned back together with Guilliman. They looked at the transport plane on the tarmac. It was an atmospheric shuttle obtained from Mars. In this way, at least Terra would not be allowed to board more. Shock, you know, unknown flying objects that no one has ever seen landed on the palace.

Omega is waiting on the shuttle there. It seems to have a slight problem and there will be some problems in getting it back. Omega is working together with Bell to fix it so that it will not explode when it flies into the atmosphere and the people on the ship will die. I can only fall freely.

There were only two people on the ship who could fly, but there were three people who couldn't fly. Therefore, one person must have had to make a hard landing, and Guilliman was probably sure that it was him, so he hoped that the aircraft could fly well. .

The light of electric sparks lit up in the distance. Omega held its head high, raising its mechanical arm high to process a certain page. Bell was pulling something on the engine aside, and while the two were busy, the rest The four of them took priority on the oil drum on one side.

They were drinking margaritas, the kind given to humans, without adding engine oil or anything like that. Sicarius seemed to like the taste of that stuff. He leaned against the barrel and raised his glass to point at Bell and the others. Point and point.

"Aren't they going down? They look very leisurely." Sanguinius looked at them and asked with a smile. Her smile was as eye-catching as ever. The three people over there quickly raised their glasses to salute him, and she also He smiled and waved to them.

Guilliman glanced at the angels, and then looked at them with his arms folded. Celestine's wide wings suddenly spread out as he stretched. The huge wings almost hit Loken on the side, but the injuries on them were basically done. She recovered, relying on her own recovery ability, which was better than that of the Astartes, and the medical system on the Sky Blade.

"No, only Celestine will go down with us. The others will stay in the fortress and keep an eye on the things here. Speaking of which, are we missing one person?" Before Guilliman could finish his words, he was heard from afar. A burst of noise attracted attention. Wherever he and Sanguinius looked, and the four people sitting next to the oil drum, they saw the huge thing.

It was another shuttle. It looked more like a civilian one. It had no protection, and its engine looked quite ordinary. It made people wonder whether it would explode when ignited, but for the people pulling it forward, I guess it's not that important.

The person dragging it was Konrad Curze, yes, the Dark Son, one of the Emperor's Primarchs. He was now carrying a thick chain on his back like a laborer on the starport, dragging the shuttle that was larger than him into the apron, and in front of him, the foreman was walking forward with his head held high.

"Come on, we're almost there, come on." The foreman wore sunglasses and a black leather jacket, and the silver studs on his boots jingled on the ground. He walked in a dashing manner, swinging the bolter holster on his waist back and forth.

"Vito, what are you doing? What the hell did you ask Conrad to drag?" Guilliman asked Vito as he walked in front of him. The latter raised his head, and the surrounding lights were reflected on his sunglasses. "Shuttle, keep a low profile. I don't want to land on Terra like you. I can't attract attention to where I'm going." "You won't go down with us?" Sanguinius asked in surprise, while Vito smiled and shrugged, raised his sunglasses on his face and buckled them on his head. Conrad behind him also dragged the shuttle up, took a breath and walked around him. "This thing hasn't been refueled yet." Conrad shook his hands, and Vito turned around and snapped his fingers at Omega in the distance, then pointed at the shuttle behind him, and the latter understood and went to serve it. Omega stepped lightly on the ground, and a pipe opening immediately opened there. His mechanical arm pulled it out of the ground, and then carried it to the shuttle and inserted it into the oil pipeline. Behind him, Celestine also came over and glanced at the shuttle as he passed by.

"Vito, what are you doing again? Do you suddenly feel like traveling?" "Travel? Oh no, dear, if it was a trip, I would take you with me, but unfortunately it is not, the lower nest of the hive is not suitable for travel." "You want to go to the lower nest of the hive? There are only..." "Fighting gangs, cultists, traitors who want to overthrow the empire, mutants, did I miss anything?"

"Gene stealers." Conrad added coldly, Vito pointed at him and laughed, "Yes, anyway, it's as chaotic as you want."

"Then why are you going there? To see the living conditions of the lower nest of the hive?" Guilliman asked puzzledly, and Vito was as mysterious as ever. He wiped the lenses of his sunglasses and raised them to look through the light.

"No, I have something to do somewhere, and it has nothing to do with you." Vito said casually, as if it was really not something worth mentioning, as simple as going downstairs to buy a cake, but seeing Celestine holding her forehead speechlessly, Guilliman knew that it was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

"Are you going to cause trouble again?" The little angel held his forehead speechlessly, while Vito smiled and wiped his sunglasses and put them back on his head. "There won't be any trouble. Well, maybe a little, but don't worry, it won't be big enough to blow you and your skeleton away."

"Are you going alone?" Sanguinius was a little doubtful, looking up and down at Vito, his outfit, "I'd better act alone, so it's more convenient." "Don't even think about it, you old bastard, I know what's in your mind."

Celestine put one hand on her waist, frowned and said angrily, "I'll go with you, anyway, I can see that guy every day, and he's shining in front of me when I close my eyes."

"You? Honey, I'm not saying that your super big wings are not much less conspicuous than these four or five meter tall guys." Vito smiled and pointed at the three people in front of him. They all looked at each other, but Sanguinius was a little shorter among them, I mean, if the wings are not counted.

"She's right, you do need to bring a companion to keep an eye on you. I don't believe what you call "little troubles"." Guilliman crossed his arms over his chest. He looked at Vito, and his eyes showed disbelief on his face. "Terra is already chaotic enough. There have been rumors of coups and riots before I left." Vito took off his sunglasses and hung them on his nose. He looked at Guilliman with squinted eyes, and then glanced at Sanguinius on the side. She also pouted and nodded. Vito smiled bitterly and pushed the sunglasses back. "Okay, I will bring someone. It just so happens that I also need help. Hand, the helper who is familiar with the lower nest, Omega, you come with me. "

The Mechanicus priest next to the shuttle raised his head, he tilted his head slightly, and Vito looked at him, "I have to find you a suitable piece of clothing to cover your octopus squid look."

"Satisfied?" Vito said, looking at a few people, and then without waiting for them to say anything, he turned and walked towards the shuttle. His timing was just right, Omega just pulled out the oil pipe, he looked at Vito, the latter patted his shoulder and walked into the cabin at the back of the shuttle.

"I've already told Trajan that you're here. Don't worry about being beaten to a pulp when you go down." "What about you? Does anyone know you're going down?" "No one, I mean, except you, so remember to keep it a secret for me when you go down. You also said that you've had enough trouble." Vito said, and Omega also got on board. The former took out a piece of clothing from the cabin and threw it to Omega, who looked at the clothing and shrugged, then entered the cabin. Finally, Vito stood behind the cabin door and looked at the four people on the side, "Helen, keep an eye on them, don't let them dismantle anything, if they dare to do it, tie them up."

After he said that, he closed the cabin door, and the shuttle took off after a while. Sicarius, who was leaning aside, raised his glass and waved goodbye to him, "Don't worry! I'm only interested in your wine collection. Let me Just try what the wine from the Golden Age tasted like.”

Vito in the cabin gave him a middle finger, and then operated the shuttle to fly over the heads of the four people in front. Guilliman and Conrad looked up at the shuttle as it flew past, and he walked out of the apron. , heading towards Terra below.

"Do you think he will cause a lot of trouble?" Sanguinius frowned and asked worriedly, while the little angel beside her folded her arms and laughed disdainfully, as if she was laughing at them, " No need to ask, is this the first day you met him?"
