Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Vito sat on the throne.

His hand was touching the golden bronze statue of the lion. Between the two roaring lions, he was sitting on the throne of the Great Rock Monastery Hall. This was the throne of the Lion King, but now he was sitting on it.

The flag of the Dark Angels hangs in the hall, and the flags of every company around are not absent. In addition, there are also battle flags inherited from the ancient legion era here, which are hung behind the throne.

On the left and right sides of Vito, there are two Dark Angels holding swords. They stand behind the throne, wearing winged helmets and looking forward. At the end of the steps below the throne, the boss of the battle group wearing gorgeous armor stands tall. With.

The entire hall was filled with Space Marines, all Dark Angels, and some invited Space Wolves gathered here. There were no mortals, and the only one who looked like a mortal here was Vitor.

This place belongs to the descendants of the demigods. They are talking to each other. Lancelot and Ragnar are here. Bell and Eisenstein are on the other side, together with the chief priest of the war group, Dyer. Everyone is talking enthusiastically. Wearing, excited, and full of awe.

Beside the throne, Celestine was holding a winged helmet, right next to Vito.

But what surprised Vito was that the fallen angels were also here. They stood alone on the edge of the hall. He looked at them, and then he was attracted by the sound in the distance.

The sound of heavy footsteps came from a distance, and the hall became silent. People looked at Ryan who walked in from the door. He walked into the hall and walked on the road between the soldiers.

Unlike Guilliman's coronation ceremony, Llane's was exceptionally simple. There were no gorgeous honor guards, no flags flying in the sky, no choir or crowds praising him.

There was silence in the hall. Thousands of Space Marines who filled the entire hall were watching him and watching him pass by in silence.

Ryan walked alone, wearing that battle armor, without gorgeous decorations or golden glory shirt, but it was extremely solemn and solemn, making people awe of the person who came.

His steps were steady and powerful, the lion's head was rising and falling on his shoulders, and the warriors were watching him. Ryan walked to the throne and came to Vito.

He looked up at Vito on the throne, and then knelt down on one knee. Vito stood up and walked off the throne to stand in front of him. The golden light flashed behind him, and the lightning turned into a crown on his head, and the robe he wore was dazzling.

"Ryan Aljunson, Son of the Emperor, I, Vito Constantine, Supreme Marshal, Guardian of the Empire, Sword Bearer and Defender of Order, are here to inquire."

Vito said solemnly, the soldiers looked at him, and the whole audience was silent, "Are you willing to accept this crown, accept your title, and perform your duties, in the name of the Emperor, in the name of mankind, and in the name of justice?" In the name of defending the empire and its beliefs.”

"I do."

Lawn responded in a low voice.

"Are you willing to swear loyalty to the Empire, to the Emperor, and to carry out his will in his name?"

"I do."

"Are you willing to swear that if you betray, you will be punished, stripped of your title and power, and bear the corresponding price?" Vito asked again, the lightning crown on his head beat, and the light reflected on Raun's blond hair. .

"I do," he replied again.

"Then, I will crown you." Vito said, and Celestine stepped forward beside her. She presented the winged war helmet in her hand to Vito, who took it and raised it high.

Celerestin's wings spread out behind him and stretched forward from both sides. Vito put on a helmet for Ryan between the wings. "As the Supreme Marshal, I declare that you will become the first legion." King, as the guardian of the empire, I declare you the Lord of Caliban, and in the name of the sword bearer, I give you recognition.”

"Get up, King Ryan."

After Vito said that, Ryan stood up. The former and Celestine moved to both sides. Ryan walked over, turned around and sat on the throne.

He sat on the throne between the lions. Azrael in the audience was no longer the Chapter Master of the Dark Angels, but took the lead in kneeling as a warrior.

Everyone knelt on one knee, thousands of Astartes in the hall kneeling at the same time.

Ryan watched them raise their palms, and everyone in the hall stood up again. After everyone stood up, he spoke with a rich voice, "Here, I would like to thank everyone for their dedication and perseverance, and pay my respects. "

"Lord Seifer, you are worthy of your identity, responsibility and mission." Ryan said to Seifer, "You awakened me and completed your ten-thousand-year mission. I will continue to grant you this title and give you trust."

Cypher put his fist on his chest and nodded to Ryan. Then he turned to Azrael again, who stepped forward and waited.

"Azrael, you have fulfilled your honor and responsibility impeccably, leading the Chapter while I am gone. In these strange times, I need your help."

"I appoint you as deputy of the Order, my right-hand man," Lane said.

"My honor, sir, I will be as faithful as my oath." Azrael said and returned to the warriors. Ryan nodded to him, and then fell silent for a while.

"Lord Cypher, in order to awaken me, you cooperated with the traitors. Although it was to carry out the mission, they also gave you real help, and perhaps they also meant to repent."

"But betrayal cannot be forgotten." Ryan said seriously, looking towards Luther. At that moment, there seemed to be many emotions in his eyes, but he was ultimately suppressed by responsibility.

"Luthor, you were my mentor, adoptive father, member of the Knights, and respected veteran." Ryan said, "But you committed an act of betrayal. I will not forget it, and neither will the empire."

Vito looked at Luther. He stood there calmly, without speaking or resisting. He just stood and looked at Ryan, and a trace of emotion seemed to flash across his old face.

pride.

"You will be judged for your betrayal." Ryan said seriously, "I, as the king of the First Legion, declare that you will get the trial you deserve, and all betrayers will get a fair trial. I am Does this oath make sense to you?”

"No, do what you have to do."

"child."

Luther's last words were spoken very lowly, not even spoken, but Vito saw his lips and understood the words.

"Very well then, Supreme Marshal, I want you to request." Ryan spoke to Vito again, "I beg you to preside over the trial as the sword bearer, listen to the testimony, and make a fair trial."

"Would you like that?"

"Is this what you want?" Vito asked.

"Yes." Ryan replied.

"Then I will accept the request."

Ryan stood up and looked at the crowd in the audience, "The trial will begin tomorrow. Anyone who thinks there is testimony or wants to participate in the trial, please be prepared."

"Lock up those awaiting trial."

Azrael immediately nodded and led the soldiers who followed him to surround him. Luther and the others did not resist, handed over their weapons, and were shackled and escorted away.

"What do you want me to do?" Vito asked in a low voice after a moment, but he was not asking Ryan, but Celestine, but not her, but the person behind her golden eyes. He knew, He is watching.

She shook her head and said nothing, but the sound of crow's wings and the sound of swords echoed in Vito's ears.

Now he knew that in this trial, he was the judge, the jury, as well.

Executioner.
