Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The lights pierced through the darkness in the subway tunnel. They walked through the darkness. The Stormtroopers were surrounding them, in front and behind the team, while Kane and Vito were in the middle of the team, as if they were heavily protected. .

But it is not difficult to understand. After all, outside the subway, explosions are still happening on the ground overhead, and gunfire has been going on for two months. The Tau also know about the human underground tunnels and have been trying to invade here. They succeeded a few times, but were kicked out.

The human defenders then blew up those sections of tunnel, blocking the Tau on the other side, so yes, it wasn't safe underground either.

The stormtrooper was walking in front with his gun in hand. He suddenly stopped, tilted his head and said something vaguely in his helmet. The encrypted communication of the tactical helmet made his voice invisible except for the other stormtrooper. People could understand, so he came closer, came to Vito and said something, and the latter nodded.

"What did he say?" Kane asked.

"They are in front, and the door is also there." Vito said, and walked over with his hands behind his back. Although Kane didn't know why, he followed the stormtroopers after they passed by, so as not to be left in this dark place. .

After a while, another light appeared in front of the flashlight light, and another group of people stood in front of a huge door. They were composed of stormtroopers, members of the Inquisition, and Amberley.

In front of them, under the spotlight set up, there was a gate that occupied the entire wall. Kane walked to the door and looked up at the magnificent door in front of him in amazement.

It was a steel door, with a large number of reinforcement structures and door locks densely covered on the surface. There were no holes or even gaps in the surrounding walls.

"My lord, this is it, they are inside."

"I know, I can feel the presence of their machine spirits."

Vito said and walked to the door. He touched the giant door in front of him. Kane also walked over and looked at the door in front of him, "What is this place?"

"You'll know."

Before Amberley spoke, Vito suddenly explained, and then looked at the priestess aside, "Can you open the door?"

"This gate is a purely mechanical structure. It has no electronic system and no access points. Snowy can't hack in." Amberley said, looking at the busy priest, who was dealing with a mechanical lock in front of her. There are several rolling dials on it.

"We're still figuring it out," she said.

"Too slow." Vito said, and suddenly the door in front of him shook. His entire door began to roar, and then there was a vibration in the surrounding walls, as if the entire underground tunnel was about to collapse.

"What is he doing?" Kane asked. The priestess stood up and stepped back, looking at the door in front of her. "Open the door."

The ground trembled, and everyone in front of the door began to stand unsteadily, but the door began to open. The heavy door slowly opened to both sides, and the harsh friction sound sounded between the tracks. The rolling wheel of the door was forcefully Pushing forward, it finally submerged completely on both sides.

The space behind the door was exposed, and the dark space was pitch black. The stormtroopers picked up their guns and walked in. Then Vito went in. He spread out a hand, and a ball of lightning appeared in his hand, illuminating it. Dark space around.

Kane also followed in curiously. Although he didn't want to enter this unknown place, his curiosity still prevailed. He came in with a flashlight and kept observing the surrounding environment.

"What is this place?" He came to Vito behind the fence. He was standing in front of an abyss. Kane stepped forward and shined a flashlight down. The light illuminated a round thing. Kane frowned. He frowned, moved the light down, and saw a row of numbers and a biohazard sign.

Vito snapped his fingers, and the electricity in his hand shot out to the surroundings instantly. The entire space lit up in an instant, the lights were reawakened, and spotlights shot down from all directions. Kane could also see clearly what was below, and his eyes widened like a light bulb. Eye.

"Viral missiles."

He said, in front of him, there was a virus missile standing in the missile well below, that terrible weapon that could corrupt buildings, dissolve steel, and destroy flesh and blood in an instant. It stood there quietly, and, More than one.

There are dozens of missiles standing below, in different missile wells. They are sleeping, waiting to wake up, and when they wake up, the end will come.

"They can still be fired, and they seem to be in good condition." Amberley came up and said, Vito looked down at it and nodded silently, "I know, I can sense its machine soul, and it is waiting to be awakened."

"What place is this?" Kane asked in surprise.

"No one knows when the virus missiles are stored here. This facility has long been forgotten by people on the planet. I don't know if it was intentional."

"Nonsense, it's me. I don't want to remember that there is such a place under my feet." Kane said, trembling all over. He had never seen a virus missile detonating. He had heard people talk about it, and just thinking about it made him scared.

"But some people say that this place was left behind during the First Damocles War. They were originally intended to be used to destroy the Tau, but they were not used during the final withdrawal, so they were left behind. What if they are used later? "Amberley said with a smile, but her smile was a little stiff in the face of these sleeping weapons.

"For example, now, damn, how did you find this place?" Kane continued to ask, counting the missiles, his voice trembling slightly as the number increased.

"The Marshal told us, let us look for it." Amberley said, glancing at Vito, who looked at the missiles below, and then turned to the Stormtroopers behind.

"Contact command and tell them to have everyone in the city hide underground or find a closed facility."

The stormtrooper responded vaguely in coded language, and then began to talk for a while. Kane watched him sincerely thank the Emperor for being underground instead of above.

"Were you prepared from the beginning?" Kane asked carefully. Vito glanced at him, his eyes were quite cold, "The Tau people put all the reserve teams into the city."

This city is a death trap. When the Tau people walk into it, they have already fallen into it.

"Sir, another matter, there is new progress in the investigation." Amberley said, glanced at Kane, and continued after Vito signaled to continue.

"The assassin in the Governor's Palace. We interrogated the chief steward and found out the true identity of the murderer. He was a person who attended the banquet. He said that the Space Marines threatened him to do it."

"Space Marine?"

Amberley said carefully, while Vito raised her eyebrows. She nodded, "Yes, he said that several Space Marines came to him and threatened him to kill the Tau ambassador. He was on their shoulders. See To the Wings of Sword.”

"Dark Angel." Kane said subconsciously, and then shut up.

They looked at Vito carefully. There was no expression on the marshal's face, only his eyes narrowed slightly. "Does he remember what their helmets looked like? Is there a vertical armor structure on the face, or not?"

"He said, like the knights in the story, one of them carries a big sword on his back."

"I see."

"Has anyone seen Celestine?" he asked suddenly. Amberley was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"No, no one saw her. She disappeared after that."

"Um."

Vito said simply, leaving Amberley and Kane looking at each other. He turned around and walked up to the console. He stood on the high platform and motioned for Sydney to get out of the way, and then inserted his mechanical fingers into the slot of the terminal. Suddenly, the whole space moved, as if something had been awakened.

Above the missile well, the sky cover slowly opened to the surroundings, and cold light entered here along with the sound of gunfire, the sound of artillery, and the din of the battlefield.

In front of Kane and the others, the protective shield instantly rose. Behind the shield, the light at the warhead of the virus missile lit up. With the flames gushing out from the end, the missiles shot straight into the sky.

Air defense sirens with different tones echoed over the city. The attacking Tau troops stopped and looked up at something flying in the sky. It rose into the sky and then fell down.

"The day of judgment has come."
