Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The sun gradually extinguished on the plateau. At the end of the horizon, its afterglow shone on the earth line, gradually cooling down the entire plateau.

Kane is not from Valhalla, so he doesn't quite understand the Valhalla people's definition of cold. For example, now, the sun has set, the already cold temperature on the plateau has dropped further, and little snowflakes have fallen from the sky during the day. , turned into a storm of snowflakes and rain, but the people of Valhalla seemed to be living a warm spring again.

These warriors who came out of the ice and snow world seemed to not feel the cold at all. They were still wearing short jackets in the biting cold wind, and even took off their coats. Only the warriors who did not come from Valhalla were baking in the camp. On fire, and among them, unfortunately, was the only non-Valhalla in the group.

Kane wrapped his political commissar coat tightly around him. He was shivering and blowing cold air from the white snow falling in the sky. He felt like an alien among the people of Valhalla, like someone who had fallen into a pack of polar bears. The giant panda.

But he was lucky. There was at least one person who agreed with him, and that was Vito, who also came from other unknown places. Kane once asked where he was from, and he said it was Terra, but Kane had seen people from Terra. , Vito was different from them, but Kane never asked seriously.

Kane was very happy that Vito was here. He was also wearing a military coat and looked like a Valhalla. He said that he wanted to hide his identity and prevent the fact that the Inquisition was involved from being exposed early, so he asked Braun for it. He didn't specifically emphasize the type of military uniform he wanted, but Braun gave him an officer's uniform.

In fact, it was Braun's own spare military uniform. They all had similar body shapes, so he gave it to Vito directly. So now, he is wearing a major uniform of the Valhalla Ice Legion, wearing his Bolter stood off to the side.

Kane and Vito talked a lot, mainly about their past military experience and the past of sharing honor and disgrace in the war. Fortunately, Vito didn't realize that most of the time, he only wanted to save his life, and he tried to kill him several times. It was about being a bait, so they had a good chat.

They walked together and came outside from the station of the 597th Regiment. The rest of the Valhalla Ice and Snow Legion troops were also stationed here. On the plateau plateau that used to be deserted and deserted, there are now tents, barracks and other troops. anything you see in it.

As they walked, they were soon called to a halt. Kane looked back and realized that he knew the man, and immediately began to introduce him to Vito, "This is Duncan, my former comrade in the artillery regiment. I didn't expect you to be there too." coming?"

"Of course we are here, what do you think? We came earlier than you guys. Before the Eternal Fire transported you, it was about six weeks early. It's a subspace joke." Duncan said with a smile, Kane Knowing him, I know that this guy must have inquired about enough local news, both outrageous and not outrageous.

But Kane is still willing to listen. After all, in this case, he may know some gossip that can save his life. "How is it here? Duncan, do you like it here?"

"Ah, I don't like it at all. Those local young fools have been hanging out with the Tau for too long, and their minds are full of those filthy alien thoughts." Duncan waved his hands in disgust, feeling quite dissatisfied with the locals. He cut, but soon smiled at Kane.

"But there is good news. The Tau people are also here. You must be secretly happy, right?" "What? The Tau people are already here?!" Kane exclaimed. He really didn't know why Duncan thought he would Happy. Originally, Kane thought that he only needed to suppress the thugs locally or deal with those incompetent traitors, but now it is different. The Tau are here. If the Emperor is on top, Kane has heard about the Tau. If half of the news about clan technology and witchcraft is true, then he will definitely be in trouble.

Damn it, Kane knew that the Astartes would not show up for no reason, and now everything is fucked up, but Kane still kept the expression that a political commissar should have on his face, because he knew that Duncan, this guy, I believed my silly stories of heroism with all my heart, and believed them deeply.

"How's it going? Are you excited? This way, we can fight a real enemy instead of those sissies. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with us now. The diplomats are still talking nonsense with the Tau. ”

Duncan said helplessly, but Kane was secretly relieved. If the diplomats of the Ministry of Government could resolve this dispute peacefully, Kane would not need to go to war with the Tau. "Well, maybe you can Yes, as the Emperor wishes."

"Hmph, I don't think those diplomats can succeed. I heard that the Inquisition is here and their secret agents are planning something secretly."

Duncan said with joy, Kane twitched, looked cautiously at Vito who was smiling beside him, then cleared his throat and led the topic to something else that could make people feel happier.

Kane knew that in addition to asking about these things, Duncan would most likely know where some of the local entertainment industries were, such as the best bars. In fact, Duncan did know.

He warmly invited the hero Kane and his friends to have a drink, and they did not refuse, and then walked through the camp. The officer uniforms they wore naturally did not prevent them from being stopped by the sentry, but the latter still gave They have a password, and a friendly suggestion.

"There are often commotions in the highlands, please be careful, sir." "Ah, I understand, stand guard for the sake of the emperor." "For the emperor!"

They left the camp, came to the city, and walked on the night streets. The lights here were all lit up. The hotel signs and street lights on the roadside illuminated the place brightly, allowing pedestrians along the way to see. He intuitively saw the three people approaching, perhaps because of the uniforms of the Astra Militarum, and the pedestrians all made way for them.

Kane looked at the people around him, because Vito was also looking at them. He knew Vito's keen observation ability. He might have discovered something, something that was also very useful to Kane, so he also observed it.

He soon knew what Vito was looking at. The passers-by around him had different attitudes towards the three imperial officers. Some looked at them with awe and respect, while others only had awe, but even more What's worse is that the local young people have all their hair shaved off, leaving only a long braid.

The local Anglican Bishop tried his best to warn the locals that dealing with the aliens would not end well, but they were too deeply influenced by the aliens. Kane knew this kind of people. Once the firefight started, they would take up arms and attack them. Aim to fire from behind.

They all looked at the three Kanes who passed by with hostility, as if they were about to come up and punch and kick them. But fortunately, Kane was wearing a laser gun, a chain sword, and Vito's Bolt guns are enough of a shock to make these idiots think twice.

But they didn't take any time off either. They kept swearing incessantly. Most of the sentences were boring. They were the same as the slogans of most rebels who were dissatisfied with the empire. They were outsiders, thieves who came to steal their homes. And fuck the Emperor's lackeys and stuff.

But Kane didn't know if they would prepare their words more carefully if they knew that a judge was passing by.

But this had nothing to do with Kane. Soon they arrived at the bar that Duncan guaranteed to be the best, called the Eagle Tomahawk. This seemed to be a gathering place for local loyalists. The people in the bar were very enthusiastic about them and even Several came forward to shake hands and express their welcome to the Emperor's troops.

"I should have invited you here a long time ago, so that those aliens can get as far away as possible!" "That's right! And deal with those little bastards! Let them know the consequences of hanging out with aliens!" "Hardly! Teach them a lesson, sir, and deal with those blue-skinned bastards and their beaked counterparts!" "Long live the Empire! Long live the Astra Militarum!"

The people were quite enthusiastic. Surrounded by them, Kane and Vito quickly found a table, and the proprietress of the bar poured them drinks with full patriotic enthusiasm. She was a veteran. She had just ended her twenty-year service in the defense force, so she opened this bar. She seemed to think that it was her honor to have three real imperial soldiers here, so she was particularly enthusiastic about them.

She was beautiful, especially the maid uniform on her chest, which made Kane look at her several times, and Duncan was particularly interested. Only Vito was calm, and it was over after just one glance.

When Duncan began to flirt with the landlady and boasted about Kane's experience, their wine list was naturally free. Regarding the story told in it, Kane remained humble and silent and did not express any opinions.

When it was Vito's turn, Duncan didn't know him, so he didn't introduce him much, but the proprietress seemed to be more enthusiastic about Vito, which Kane could understand. After all, in terms of appearance, Vito was definitely the tallest among the three. , coupled with Braun’s military uniform on the ship, he suddenly became the kind of person on the recruitment poster.

The landlady flirted with him, but Vito just smiled back. When the latter asked about his military career, Vito picked out a few that were neither important nor important, but of course, for the locals, that was It's not either light or heavy.

When Vito told the story of his battle with the Necrons on Orpheus, he immediately received another glass of wine and the support of the loyal Imperial people around him. Several people even came up to look for him and Kane. Signature, but poor Duncan was naturally reduced to a supporting role in this carnival.

After a while, everyone gradually calmed down and everyone returned to their seats. The landlady also winked at Vito and then returned to the bar. After dealing with other guests' problems, they moved to the side to a more secluded private room. This way, they can talk about real issues.

"I heard that the Tau have transferred troops here to protect their trade interests." After Duncan said this, he immediately laughed with Kane, and even Vito, who had been relatively quiet, followed them. We laughed together.

Because they all know that the Empire has used the same reason countless times to launch war against an unlucky mud planet. However, when it is the Empire's turn, it is a legitimate reason. Kane and Vito's job is Guaranteed that those who don’t think so think so too.

Well, most of the time, that's Kane's job, after all, if it's his old buddy's turn to take action, then the situation becomes more than just a heart-to-heart talk.

"I also heard that the Astartes also appeared." "Huh? Where?" Kane asked nervously. Are the Space Marines already here? But soon Duncan waved his hand to reassure him, "There are only a few people at the airport. The comrades I met there told me, don't get excited yet, you will definitely be beaten."

Kane would rather not have it. He glanced at Vito, who smiled at him and raised his glass to signal him. Now Kane knew that those Space Marines were Vito's people. They were probably the same people who had worked with Vito before. Kane couldn't remember the names of those who fought side by side with the 597th Regiment, but he didn't want to see them either.

"In short, the Tau are mobilizing troops now, and we are also mobilizing. However, our navy is seriously insufficient. Ha, those nobles didn't want to come to the Mud Planet at all, so they just threw us here."

Duncan complained, waving his hands, "There are those bastards from the Inquisition here too, damn it, but they won't help us, those selfish idiots."

"Ahem, everything will be as the Emperor wishes." Kane said this mantra. This sentence came from Jurgen. He would always be silly and say this sentence in his rough accent. However, it will be more pious, but now, Kane only hopes that Vito will not give him a little Inquisition-style greeting because of Duncan's words.

But he was lucky. Vito was still smiling and raised his glass to toast him. This made Kane sigh in relief. Then he picked up the glass and raised it high, clinking it with the two of them.

"Now, let's talk about something pleasant. To the Emperor!" "To the boss lady for her big breasts!" "To her breasts and the Empire." Kane, Duncan, and Vito said one after another.
