Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The hatch of the heavy-duty transport vehicle opened with a roar, and the cylindrical prismatic warhead was slowly pushed into the vehicle. Its body was caught by the fixed claws raised on both sides. After a click, the indicator light turned red. .

Omega stood at the door of the cabin, looking at the fixed missile body. He got into the cabin, leaned against the missile body and scanned the thing with his mechanical eyes. After a few glances, the people outside the door began to rub it. After his shoulder complained, one of his robotic arms quietly pulled out a latch from under the warhead.

Omega turned around and got out of the car. He nodded to Father Chaos on the side, then jumped out of the car and walked towards the car beside him.

Vito leaned on the hood of the car, holding his hands and looking at the closed hatch. It closed and locked again, hiding the torpedo warhead in the cabin of the inconspicuous transport vehicle, so that no one would notice. That thing was shipped into town until he exploded.

Vito looked at Omega, who was holding a round nut in his hand. The surface of the thing flashed with regular lights. Vito looked at the thing and nodded to him.

That is the detonating bolt, which is the most important part of the entire missile body. Without that thing, the torpedo will not be detonated. Even if you blow it up with a bomb, its detonating device will not be activated. Now, it is installed in that car. The warhead is destined not to attract people's attention.

Vito took the nut, looked at it for a few times, and then gave it back to Omega. He turned to look at Daladdin who was walking aside. He and Tarkin were talking about something in the distance. Now that he was back, Vito also Looking at Tarkin, the colonel stood there, glanced at the closed hatch, and nodded to Vitor.

The latter nodded in response, and then looked at Daraddin and watched him get into the passenger seat. Vito bowed his head to Omega, who got into the back seat, and Vito also took one last look around. Got in after the airport.

After the three entered, Dalatin patted the driver's shoulder. The silent driver started the engine and drove out. Behind it, several fully loaded transport trucks followed. to the back.

They drove towards the exit of the airport. After Tarkin waved to the door, the sentry at the door opened the roadblock and allowed them to drive out and into the dark wasteland outside.

Vito sat in the back seat, raised his wrist and looked at the positioning coordinates above. Suddenly they changed direction, turned from the back of the car and drove out. Vito turned around and looked at the evil spirits who were separated from them from behind the car window. The cultist convoy drove towards the other direction of the wasteland.

But the car did not follow. Its driver continued to drive forward, and after driving to the entrance of a highway, it drove on a flat road, while the high walls of the airport and the lights on them were thrown away. In the back.

The transport convoy gradually disappeared at the end of the night. Vito looked at them, and soon the beacon on his wrist disappeared from the visual range, leaving only the distant signal mark, flashing at the edge of the screen.

Suddenly, the car also drove into an unmanned rest stop beside the highway. It had long been abandoned, with only a few buildings with dusty walls left, and doors that rattled in the night wind. There are windows.

The driver parked the car outside the rest stop. Dalatin opened the door, got out, walked to the sign beside the highway that had already extinguished the lights, took out a cigarette, and lit the lighter. Smoke lit.

The firelight illuminated his face. Vito also opened the car door and walked over. Dalatin looked at Vito who was leaning behind him and handed the cigarette case over, "Would you like one?"

"No, I quit smoking a long time ago. About a dozen centuries? I can't remember clearly." Vito refused in a humorous way. He instead kicked his hands into his trouser pockets and moved closer to the blaster. In his trouser pocket.

"Your motives are confusing, Mr. Daladin, you know who I am, right?" "Yes." "Then you brought me to see with my own eyes how you betrayed the Emperor?" "Did I? "

Daladdin took a puff of cigarette as he spoke. The butt of the cigarette instantly became bright and powerful, and a faint smoke floated from above under the light of the fire. Daladdin held the smoke and looked at the nest in the distance.

The city lights dimly shone in the rest stop, illuminating the chair that fell on the ground, like a downed desert beast. Vito looked at the city lights and then looked back at Dalatin.

"I know that you are the master of the Inquisition and the Assassin's Court. My lord, it is easy for you to kill me and anyone else. In fact, you can do it now. I have no chance of winning, and I also know that neither do they."

"So you brought me here, watching all this, hoping to show loyalty and sincerity? Just like Colonel Tarkin, selling favors on both sides in exchange for security."

"In Terra, in this Game of Thrones, many things are not decided by us. We have no choice but to be trapped on the chessboard. We can either be eaten or win. But there are many ways to win. Stay alive. , is the real victory.”

Daladdin talked about the cigarette butts, and the sparkling ashes fell on the ground. He stepped on the sparks. Vito looked at the sparks and raised his head again. He slightly raised his head and looked at the Terra Nest in the distance, "Understood." Yes, you did the right thing, Mr. Dalatin, you did the right thing by bringing me here.”

He has no choice. If he refuses to carry out the order, he will definitely be killed by his superiors. This is Terra. The people killed in the conspiracy are like running water. Every day the sun rises and the sun sets. This is Terra. In every human throne world, there will be countless betrayals and deaths.

So he could only carry out the order and hand over the torpedoes to the Chaos Believers, but this did not prevent him from taking it with him and using actual actions to prove which side he chose. This was better than writing a report letter to the trial. The court works a lot.

"I'm glad you said that, my lord." Daladdin said, exhaling a faint smoke under the hazy light of the hive. Vito also looked at the city lights, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of gravel.

"Did you send the message for me to come? That news, the rise of the Lion King, is not something you would know, nor would it be your superior. Who asked you to send it?"

"You are wise, my lord, as he says." Daladin flicked the ashes of his cigarette as he spoke, then took another puff of smoke, puffs of smoke coming out of his mouth.

"I am just a messenger, as you think, but the person you are looking for is no longer on Terra, but he still asked you to come here, solve this rebellion, and embark on a new journey. "

"What kind of journey?"

"This rebellion is just the starting point, the beginning of a trial. The test he made to welcome the return of the king. When he returns, who is qualified to survive and who will fall on the ladder of chaos. It’s clear at a glance.”

"Who are you talking about?" Vito turned around and asked, but Dalatin was still staring at the dim light in the distance, his face was sprinkled with dim light, "A friend, a person who provided an opportunity for redemption. Man, he saved me, and now he tells me to tell you the news.”

"Who is this person you are talking about?" Vito continued to ask, but Dalatin continued to smoke, exhaling light smoke, looking at the lights of the city, "The voice of the lion, the voice of the emperor, the voice of the people, His voice is being transmitted across the galaxy, coming from somewhere far away.”

Vito fell silent, and after a long time he raised his head thoughtfully, "That voice, where can I find him?" "Although the others have left, the voice still remains on Terra. This is why you are here, sir." , you can get that voice on paper in the hands of the Minister of State.”

Vito chuckled helplessly and asked another riddle. Why do so many people in this galaxy love to play riddles?

He raised his head and looked at Daladdin on the side, and then looked at the positioning beacons on his wrists. They were flashing in the distance, "Okay, I will solve this rebellion and the damn trial, anyway. I've already stepped in."

"Very well, sir, then my mission is over." He shook the cigarette in his hand as he spoke, then took out a data disk from his arms and handed it to Vito.

The latter took the U disk and looked at the thing. Dalatin added in time, "Here is a list of known conservative members who participated in the rebellion. He hopes that you will not kill innocent people like others." , This is not good for the current empire.”

"Hmph, but there will be many people who will die. The era of mercy is over, and the era of blood and fire has come."

"This is the trial, the baptism of fire, burning out all the sins of all ages. The fire will ignite the galaxy, and that voice is waiting for you. Sir, you have to hurry up. As far as I know, there are others too. Find him."

Vito watched Daraddin being silent for a moment, with some thoughts flashing in his eyes. He put the USB flash drive in his arms, looked at Omega, and motioned for him to get out of the car, "We have never met, Mr. Daraddin, I I won't remember your name, and I won't see your name on any list that is given to me."

"This is the trial." Daladdin said, throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stamping it out with his toes. He turned to look at Vito and nodded.

"Goodbye, sir, we won't see each other again." "I hope so. Remember what you said, living is the only way to win. Don't do stupid things, otherwise, I will know your name again." "Of course, I wish you the best. Good luck to you, sir, the road of trial has been opened for you.”

"Long live the Emperor." "Long live the Emperor." After the two performed the common aquila salute in the empire, Daladdin returned to the car. Omega got out almost at the same time, and the Mechanic Priest closed the door of the back seat behind him. The car drove away after Daraddin got in, and drove onto the highway from the exit of the rest stop ahead.

Vito looked at the car lights that were gradually disappearing on the road, and finally disappeared into the vast night. Vito looked up at the direction of the hive, took out the USB flash drive, and looked at it through the light. Then he grasped it in his hand.

"What will happen next?" "Blood and fire." Vito said, lighting up the communicator on his wrist. He raised it and looked at the lights of the hive on the distant horizon.

"Eva, come pick me up at the rest stop on Route D11 and let everyone get ready. It's time for us to announce the coming of a new era in our own way."

"Helen, tell Loken and the others that everyone at these coordinates will be killed without mercy. Let the blood dye the dawn of Terra red."

Vito stood under the lights of the hive, and Omega stood side by side with him. They looked at the thousands of lights in the distance. When dawn comes, they will be dyed red with blood. This will be the era of blood and fire. .
