Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The roaring propellers whizzed through the air, pushing the huge fuselage through the chaotic city. The airflow it brought swept up the raging fire and heat waves on the surface, rising up and rushing towards Vito's face.

He sat by the cabin door, wearing headphones on his head, one hand on the armrest by the cabin door, leaning sideways to overlook the city on fire below. The night sky had long been illuminated by the flames, and the flames shone into the cabin, lighting up Vito's face, as well as the brothers Loken and Sexus who were squatting in the cabin behind him.

The noise in the cabin was deafening. Unlike the aircraft of the Titanium Clan, the human flight unit adopted the traditional structure of flying in the atmosphere. The engine sound was thunderous. Even if they were less than half a meter apart, they could not hear each other's words clearly. Therefore, everyone wore headphones, including the pilots.

"Sir, we can't find their location. There are fires everywhere around us." The voice of the driver came from the headset, accompanied by the roaring propeller in the background. Vito, wearing the headset, turned sideways and looked around in the high sky of the hot wind. Soon, he found the signal smoke rising in the distant city.

The smoke formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding black smoke. It reflected the light under the fire, just like a guiding light in the dark. It was the standard emergency signal smoke of the Star Army. Considering that there are no Star Army units in the city, it can only be a group of people.

"Captain, I found them, at three o'clock." Vito grabbed the handrail above his head with one hand, half squatted up and leaned against the cabin door to hold the headset and shouted loudly. His voice was forced to be loud because of the roar of the propeller above his head, but it could also be heard clearly by the captain. "I saw it and I'm heading there." The driver responded, and the helicopter immediately began to turn. It flew towards the rising signal smoke. In the sky flashing dim red light, they were not the only aircraft heading there.

A hovercraft appeared silently beside the helicopter. Vito leaned against the hatch, holding the handrail to stabilize his body in the strong wind, looking at the orange hovercraft. It was like a ghost in the night, flying silently, forming a sharp contrast with the roaring armed helicopter.

It was a shuttle of the Tau, floating in the air, flying beside the helicopter under the action of magnetism. Vito looked at him, and Loken and Serksos behind him also bent down to look at it. Maybe the other crew was also looking at them, but the hovercraft had no windows, so the two sides could not look at each other, but at least, there was no hostility between the two sides.

The hovercraft accelerated forward and flew over. Vito leaned against the hatch and looked at it. The hovercraft was also flying in the direction of the signal smoke. It was already very close and seemed to be arriving first. Vito turned on the headset, "Captain, speed up, we can't let the Titanium take our people away."

Before Vito finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion in front of him. It seemed that he didn't need to worry about his helicopter being overtaken, because the Titanium's hovercraft exploded. It was hit by something, and the side of the body exploded violently, and then fell from the sky with billowing smoke.

Vito looked at the fireball that exploded on the ground in surprise, and then looked around. The captain also shouted, "Who shot them down?" Vito looked around, his eyes scanning the dark night sky, and suddenly widened his eyes and pointed in a direction, "RPG!"

In the direction of the high-rise building below the helicopter, a rocket flew over with flames. It pulled out a long white smoke and flew towards the helicopter. The captain was startled and immediately pulled up the operating sense. The propeller turned the helicopter to an emergency maneuver and dodge the missile.

Everyone in the cabin rolled sideways and was thrown onto the wall on the other side. Only Vito held the handrail and stood by the cabin door. He stood up and looked at the source of the rocket smoke. Then he saw another missile rising. "Five o'clock! The second one!" The helicopter quickly maneuvered again. It dodged to one side and avoided another missile, but soon, a rocket came from the tall building on the other side. It whistled and shot towards the tail of the helicopter, but quickly, the end of the helicopter fired a series of heat-inducing bombs. They spread out in all directions, like a fairy spreading flowers, and also made the rocket lose its direction and explode in the air. "Where are they, eleven o'clock, sharp-angled high-rise." Vito stood outside the cabin, half of his body shot out and pointed at the building in the distance. The helicopter captain said something vaguely in the headset. The voice was hoarse and unclear due to the current, but soon, he expressed his meaning with practical actions. The helicopter turned its head, and the tail blades rotated quickly, allowing the bomb bays on both sides of the helicopter to turn successfully. Then, they fired a series of bright missiles, which whizzed away, crossed the night sky and hit the tall building at once, causing half of the building to explode completely, and the superstructure collapsed and fell from the sky.

"The threat has been eliminated." The captain's voice said, and Vito raised his headset and nodded, "Received, pay attention, and keep moving forward." "Copy, over."

The captain quickly pressed several rows of buttons around the board, holding the joystick in his hand to let the helicopter descend. It landed from the air and flew down. After passing through the gap between two tall buildings at low altitude, it spun and landed in the garden between the office buildings. This looked like a work park with an open lawn in the middle, but the trees and statues in the past had collapsed and shattered.

On the grass, a Valhalla soldier held a lit signal stick that smoked violently outwards. He waved the stick in his hand to indicate the landing position for the landing helicopter. The strong wind blown by the propeller spread the smoke in his hand, and the lawn under his feet was also It was blown down, but soon, with skilled cooperation, the helicopter's wheels landed on the grass.

Vito sat on the side of the cabin and soon saw a group of people standing on the grassland of fire. They were surrounded by the accompanying guards. The people of Valhalla were surrounding with guns, and only a few people were standing on the grass. , and Vito recognized their faces immediately, "Commissar Kane, Colonel Castine, nice to meet you. Is that a Tau person?"

"Nice to meet you too, Vito." Kane pressed the political commissar hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the propeller. He yelled back at the top of his voice from below the helicopter that was still on, pointing at a few A blue-skinned Tau, "They are the remaining members of the envoy, they are all here."

"The ambassador is dead, right?" Vito took off his earphones, hung them around his neck and yelled. Kane approached him and heard his words, and responded at the top of his voice, "Yes, dead, an accident. "It seems hard to tell for a while, right?" "Yes, we'd better go quickly, there are shootings everywhere."

Vito nodded, stood up and greeted the people on the lawn, "Get in the helicopter! We don't have time to stay." He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Commissar Kane up, and then Castine carried a gun on his back. She bent down and ran up against the strong wind of the propeller. Her red hair danced in the strong wind. Vito bent down and pulled her up.

Then came the other people, first the Tau people. The first one of them to come didn't seem to think much of Vito. He just glared at him, shook off his hand and climbed in by himself, but the one behind him The Tau tribe looked much kinder. He stretched out his hand with only four fingers for Vito to grab.

"Sorry, that's Il Solas. He's in a bad mood." "I understand, come up." Vito shouted and pulled him up, followed by several other Tau, but before they Vito didn't recognize the people after him. They were a few humans. Seeing Vito's confusion, Kane squatted behind him and shouted in his ear, "People from the Governor's Palace! There are more."

"Governor! Yes, you can see that." Vito looked at the man who grabbed his hand and climbed onto the helicopter with all his strength, but was unable to climb out due to his weight. In the end, the people in Valhalla around him couldn't stand it, and their backs He loaded the gun and ran up and pushed him up. Then he lay down on the floor of the cabin and climbed in.

Vito glanced at him with a smile, then turned around and grabbed someone from the Governor's Palace, and then turned to the captain of the Valhalla soldiers, "Sorry, Commander, we have to pick you up in the next shift. That guy, a One person is worth four people.”

"It's okay, sir, send the political commissars back, we will stand here and wait for reinforcements." Commander Valhalla shouted and turned around and ran away. He pressed the beret on his head and ran towards The pilot at the front of the plane gestured, and the latter looked at him and nodded, then flipped the switch, and the helicopter propellers rotated vigorously, stirring up airflow and allowing them to fly.

Vito leaned against the cabin and looked at the Valhalla on the ground. He carried his gun and saluted Vito. The latter also grabbed the armrest and saluted him with one hand, and then leaned back into the cabin. , sat next to Kane, leaned into his ear and shouted, "It looks like you guys have a lot of new friends."

"Yes! This is Brody, a diplomat from the Ministry of Government!" Kane pointed his eyes at a person in the cabin, a man with gray hair. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to Vito, "Fortunately, Yes! I'm glad you're here!" "Me too, this diplomacy is not going well, right?"

Vito held his hand and shook it, then looked at the next person, who was sitting next to the diplomat, "Who is this?" Kane shouted at the top of his voice, "Rex! The translator of the Tau tribe. and consultants, but also businessmen who work with them! ”

"The common language of the Tau is not very good, right?" Vito smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Rex, who crouched down and leaned close to him with a smile, "It's not good enough! So you brought me here." "But you're doing good business with them, right? What kind of business do you do?" "Handcrafts! Small technological gadgets from the Tau are very popular." "They must be selling well, the kind that can kill people?"

Vito held his hand and shouted with a smile, drowning out the roar of the propeller above his head, but the translator and businessman laughed, "They are all little things!" "Little things can also kill people, but I wish you business "Prosperity, too, sir!"

Rex let go of Vito's hand and sat back. Vito also leaned back to the left, grabbed the armrest on one side, and leaned close to Kane's ear, "Can you contact the regiment?" "No! It started a few minutes ago. , all the lines are disconnected! Someone is interfering with our communications!”

Kane yelled at the top of his lungs into Vito's ear, and then glanced at Castine. She was sitting next to Jurgen, wearing headphones hanging above her head. She seemed to be asking about something loudly, but Kane couldn't hear him, and then he approached Vito and shouted, "She is very worried about the situation in the group!" "Then she is a good group leader, don't worry, we will send you back!"

Vito said with a smile, and suddenly the entire helicopter started to shake. It shook left and right in the air, making everyone in the cabin completely unable to sit still. As it swung around, Vito grabbed the armrest and stood up. He grabbed the thing tightly and leaned out the door, seeing a rocket fly up.

The helicopter maneuvered again, and a series of heat bombs were fired from the tail. The flames of the explosion lit up outside the cabin, instantly illuminating Vito's face. He put on his headphones and shouted into the headset, "Captain! What's going on?!"

"We're being attacked!" he shouted, and the helicopter made another emergency maneuver to avoid an incoming rocket. Vito grabbed the handle on the side of the cabin with one hand and jumped up most of his body to look at the building below, where Another rocket was fired, and the helicopter quickly fired the interference bomb, causing it to fly away and explode.

"All the decoys are gone!" the captain yelled, and the strong wind blew on Vito's face from outside the cabin door. He stood outside holding the handle, watching the helicopter turn around and fire violently at a building. The cannon on the head was aimed at the floors of the building and fired. The fluorescent bullets were fired and swept through the glass. The fragments flew everywhere and exploded in all directions.

The missile flew out from under Vito's feet and hit the middle of the building. A rapid explosion sounded, blowing out glass and debris, and the entire building staggered to one side.

Vito looked at the destroyed building. Suddenly, there was an explosion under his feet. He lowered his head and saw that the weapons rack under his feet was ignited, and a series of ammunition was fired. He lowered his head and looked towards A heavy machine gun on the roof of the building below was firing violently at the helicopter overhead.

"The ammunition rack is on fire! Throw it down immediately!" Vito shouted at the headset at the top of his voice. The already ignited ammunition rack under his feet was immediately thrown down and exploded in the air, setting off a burst of fire in the air.

Vito stood at the hatch and raised his hand to block his face. Several rounds of heavy machine gun bullets hit the surrounding fuselage. One of them also hit the tail blade, instantly making the entire helicopter unbalanced in the air. As it turned, the people in the cabin were thrown left and right. Vito firmly grasped the handle and stood outside.

"Captain! Can you control the helicopter?" He yelled into the headset, and a strenuous response came from the other side. The control stick squeaked under the force of the pull, "Yes! But you can't get hit again." Guns! But our weapons are gone!"

"I'll take care of it, just fly well." Vito said, taking off his headphones and looking at Loken behind him, "Loken! Give me your gun!" "Sir, you are only a mortal now, use it Yes." "I didn't let you talk nonsense! Give me the gun! At least my shooting skills are better than yours."

Vito roared, and Loken didn't resist anymore. He pulled out his bolt gun and handed it to Vito. The long gun stretched across the entire cabin. The passengers sitting on both sides raised their hands and fired. The big gun was lifted in front of him, and finally Kane carried it and handed it to Vito.

After the latter caught the bolter, he shook his head towards Kane, "Help me set up the gun!" Vito yelled, and Kane immediately stood up and came to the gun. He carried the gun body on his own On his shoulders, he stretched out his hands to grasp the armrests on both sides. Behind him, Vito stepped back a few steps, leaned into the end of the gun body in the cabin, and aimed at the crosshair.

The helicopter was spinning rapidly in the air. Kane was holding on to the armrests on both sides, shaking from side to side but struggling to stabilize himself. Vito put the butt of the bolt gun on his shoulder and pressed his whole palm on it. He put his finger on the trigger and stared outside in front of the scope.

The helicopter swung rapidly and suddenly straightened under the captain's tug. The tail of the helicopter was thrown back, and the side door of the cabin was instantly thrown up and aimed at the building where the heavy machine gun was. The people below saw the gun. He also saw Kane standing by the hatch, holding the muzzle of his gun, and Vito holding the gun behind him.

In a flash of light, Vito pulled the trigger suddenly, and the explosive bomb was fired with the sight of the gun. The bullet rotated out from the muzzle with flames. It illuminated the faces of Kane and Vito, and then The bullet flew down and hit the ammunition box next to the heavy machine gun on the roof.

Suddenly, the entire roof of the building exploded instantly, and raging fire rose up, illuminating the side of the entire helicopter. Looking at the flaming roof, Kane breathed a sigh of relief, and his hands suddenly became soft because of the previous muzzle beating. , and then was pulled back into the cockpit by Vito, and he suddenly collapsed in his position.

Vito also sighed and leaned the bolter against the edge of his seat. Then he sat back in his seat and sat next to Kane. He put on his headphones again, "Captain, take us back. ”

"Understood, sir." The captain responded, pulled up the control stick and flew towards the rising skyline. Vito leaned against the cabin door, looking at the rising red sun, and the sunlight shone on his face. , bathing it in the light, Vito closed his eyes and sighed deeply, falling into a deep sleep.
