Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

"Cole, I need you to sign this." Anna handed the electronic tablet to Cole.

"How many times have I told you, call me admiral or captain on the bridge and in other public places." Cole said, taking the data plate and reading it, while Anna flicked his Epaulets.

"Now that you've become a general, you want everyone to call you that? That's fine. Your rank is the same as your father's."

Anna said, Cole's father, the Governor of Markarian Star, Guderian is also an admiral, and he is nearly sixty years old, and he is already considered the youngest admiral in the navy.

But now this record has been broken, still by his son. There are two youngest admirals in a family, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.

I don't know if Cole is the youngest general in the empire. He is not yet thirty years old this year. Maybe the only one who can compare with him is the Sun Lord.

Macarius was twenty-nine years old at the time, about the same age as Cole. There have been rumors that Cole’s family is descended from Macarius. Although there is no evidence to prove this, it now seems that this statement will Becomes more grounded.

"This is a rule of the Navy. You are already a rear admiral. Be serious." Cole glanced at Anna's epaulette. A gold star was shining on it, but Anna shrugged without any serious meaning.

"Okay, sign this extermination order." Anna said.

"Where's the Supreme Marshal?" Cole asked.

"Vito? You and Yarick are in sympathy with each other. You know, older people are like this." Anna spread her hands, "So, now the only person in the entire fleet who is qualified to sign is you."

To issue an Extinction Order requires the signature of the Supreme Commander of the Fleet. Specifically, that person must be an Imperial General, Marshal, Inquisitor or Chapter Master of the Astartes to be qualified to issue an Extermination Order.

Of course, they have to bear the consequences of the subsequent investigation, but this is an extermination order issued by Vito, and it is estimated that no one dares to investigate the rationality of the Supreme Marshal's decision to bomb a certain planet.

Although it was Cole who signed the signature in the end, everyone in the empire knew about Cole's close relationship with Vito, so the effect was the same.

Cole signed with his pen, and a meteor shower flew over his head. The brilliant light illuminated the entire bridge. Cole raised his head and handed the tablet to Anna.

She also looked at the meteor shower.

"By the way, the Supreme Marshal ordered the fleet to set sail, go to the capital of the Meteor Shower Galaxy, and order the fleet to prepare for departure."

"Not yet, we are waiting for a reply with the coordinates of the meteor shower galaxy."

"Reply?" Cole asked, and Anna shrugged.

"Yes, the meteor shower galaxy and the surrounding galaxies are all orbiting a super star, and their positions are constantly changing. Without the current coordinates, there is no way to jump there."

"What about the coordinates? We don't have them in our star map computer?"

"Unfortunately, no. We have to wait until the galaxy sends us the current coordinates before we can jump there. All ships going to the meteor shower galaxy must do this, otherwise they will not be able to find the galaxy, let alone fly into it."

"True and reliable security."

Anna took the data plate, read the signature, patted Cole on the shoulder and walked away, "Just wait, if the Emperor is willing, the coordinates should be transmitted soon."

"Admiral." Anna said, standing up on tiptoes and kissing Cole on the face, and then walked away.

Cole looked at the meteor shower above his head, flying into the distance.

"That meteor shower is so beautiful." Vito said with emotion, "The Milky Way is like this, no matter how you look at it, you will never get tired of it, what do you think?"

"As you said, Marshal."

Political Commissar Yarek was also here. He was sitting behind a table with a lot of food, bread, freshly baked snacks, and large slices of steak, all of which were eaten a lot.

After Yarick and Vito left the infirmary, Yarick and Vito came here and enjoyed dinner in the marshal's office without being disturbed.

"Are you satisfied?" Vito asked.

"It is difficult to be dissatisfied, Lord High Marshal."

"It's just the two of us here, so stop being so gobbledygook."

Vito and Jarek have known each other for a long time, longer than most people think.

Jarek is one of the few people who can be called a true friend of Vito, the kind who can be ranked in the top seven. They have known each other for many years.

When I got to know Yarrick many years ago, it was when he was already old and performed the great deed of killing the green-skinned warrior on Armageddon alone at the cost of an arm.

There is also a series of legendary experiences that he followed.

But Vito was different. He had known Yarek long before that. At that time, Yarek was still young and not even a political commissar. He was just a trainee officer who had just graduated from the military academy.

They fought side by side against the invasion of Orcs on Caulluo. It was a tragic battle. Countless good men from the Empire died there for the Empire. In that bloody battle, Yarick and Vito became friends.

More than four hundred years have passed since that bloody battle, and their friendship has also gone through four hundred years together. Even for a long-lived existence like Astartes, four hundred years is not a short period of time.

Jarek was still a young man then, but now he is gray-haired and four hundred years old.

"You were still so young, Vito, I knew who you were then."

"Your observations are as sharp as ever, Jarek."

Vito sat down at the table. "You are still very tenacious. Not many people survived the Orc Moon."

"Not tenacious enough. I failed the Emperor's trust in me, and the Empire, yours." Yarick said dejectedly, "I was defeated and captured by the Orcs. The Emperor sympathized with my cowardice."

"The word cowardice is suitable for many people, but not for you, old friend. Only the tenacity of steel, like your Legion, is suitable for you."

"Iron Legion."

Vito said encouragingly, which made Yarick smile.

"Your words inspire me, old friend, but I still hope to avenge my previous shame and kill the Bonebreaker with my own hands, for the Emperor! And for those dead comrades." Yarick said firmly.

"Who else?"

Vito asked suddenly, which made Yarick a little puzzled. He looked at Vito in confusion.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Besides the Emperor, do you have other gods in your heart?" Vito asked.

Yarik frowned and said unhappily, "Are you suspecting that I am a heretic?"

"No, but answer me, have you ever heard other voices besides the Emperor's?" Vito approached Yarik and asked seriously, not joking, which made Yarik alert.

"Answer me, old friend, have you ever heard other voices?"

"I don't know." Yarik answered, "I have heard a lot of voices, in dreams, in prayers, it told me about war, the intuition of fighting, I believe that is the guidance of the Emperor."

"Then let it guide you once more." Vito pushed and pressed, he walked to the fireplace and lit the fire, and the flames became stronger after the firewood was thrown in.

Vito took out two potions from his arms, and he sprinkled the orc blood in one of them on the fire, and the flame turned green, but quickly changed back. He

signaled to Yarik, who came over.

"Look at the fire, tell me what you see?"

Yarrick looked at the fire, "No, there is nothing, only flames."

"Look carefully." Vito pressed his shoulders, "Think about you fighting, holding a sword, what is in the fire?"

Yarrick fell silent, he leaned over and squatted in front of the fireplace, looking at the dancing flames, the firewood collapsed in it, and the sound of shattering echoed in the ears of the two.

"I heard it."

"A voice, a deep voice, he was roaring, a figure, a huge figure."

"What did he say?" Vito asked on the side, Yarik approached the flame, his eyes gradually blurred, "Bonebreaker knew that the moon was destroyed, another voice told him, he was very angry."

"Who? Bonebreaker?"

"No, the man behind him, a huge shadow, cruel and cunning shadow."

The fire in Yarik's eyes danced, he squinted, "He wants revenge, tooth for tooth, planet for planet."

"Did you see that planet?"

"Meteor shower, there is a meteor shower flying over there, a big meteor." Yarik answered solemnly, the voice seemed to become another person.

A low voice like the roar of a herd of beasts.

"He doesn't know the direction of the meteor, can't find it, they are looking for a war, a fire, the planet exploded, it is burning."

"He doesn't know the location of the planet yet." Vito asked, Yarik nodded.

"Give him all those things, and he will come to you."

"That's enough." Vito said, picking up the cup of water and putting out the fire.

The moment the flame went out, Yarik came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Vito in confusion, "Just now, what was that?"

"Is it the Emperor?"

"No, but he and the Emperor have one thing in common." Vito replied.

"What?"

"They are all gods of the same race."

"It seems we should do it properly."

Vito said, pulling Yarik up and patting him on the shoulder, "Well done."

"What did I do?"

"It helped a lot, now I know what to do."

Vito said, looking out the window, the meteor shower flew away, the fleet began to turn, turning to the direction where the meteor shower flew, and above the star disk, two huge shadows stood up from the green light at the edge of the universe.

They shook their fists at each other, the expeditionary fleet turned into one of the fists, and on the other fist, the beast sitting on the armored throne in the huge moon opened its eyes.

Two giant beasts roared in the starry sky, and their fists collided.

A meteor shower flew over a burning planet in the sky, and a ship escaped from it. It flew out of the burning orbit, and behind it, two orc warships caught up on the burning orbit.
