Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"This is the only way," old Nathan said with a wry smile: "It's really an honor. When was the last time the Vanderbilts had afternoon tea with the Rockefellers? Three hundred years ago, or more Before?"

"Stop sighing," Philips looked at the door blankly and said without looking back: "At least this is not a place suitable for sighing. The real owner has already appeared."

Only then did everyone follow Philip's gaze, and then these nobles, who had always maintained their grace at all times, looked blankly at the door as if they had been cast a restraining spell by an ancient wizard, their bodies stiff and unable to move.

At that moment, all aristocratic qualities and demeanor were forgotten in their minds, and only huge shock and fear lingered in their minds!

How could there be such a strong person!

Lancelot, Virgil, and a total of sixteen other knights lined up in four rows and slowly entered the temple hall. They wore silver power armor and paused slightly every time they took a step. , Such slow but powerful steps can only make these warriors appear heavier. Most of the soldiers are over two meters tall, and most of them only reach the waist of the warriors. After putting on the power armor, these warriors appear taller and heavier. Coupled with the slow and heavy pace, these warriors are stunned. It's like a towering mountain that is slowly falling down on everyone. Not to mention that these warriors were people who had just participated in the killing operation. In just one raid, they killed the top leader of the orcs. The killing intent brought back from the battlefield still remained in the bodies of the warriors.

That is the decisiveness that only warriors who have been stained by gunpowder smoke and blood can possess. It is a silent threat of supreme power that can take away the lives of others at any time!

At this moment, these "superior people" of Reach even forgot to breathe. This was the first time they saw such a strong and courageous army, as if the heroic spirits in myths and legends came from the illusion. It's like walking in front of you.

The soldiers walked neatly to the front of the hall, where the icon of the God Emperor knelt down on one knee, knocked on his chest with his hands, and began to pray.

Only then did Li and Pastor Martin walk out of the side door of the hall. They walked under the statue of the God Emperor. Li just glanced at it, and the people in the hall returned to their seats to watch the ceremony.

A mechanical servant bowed, holding a ceremonial sword in both hands, and came to Li. Without saying much, Li picked up the ceremonial sword and walked in front of the knights.

Even if Li stood in front of these people who were kneeling on one knee, he was still like a child, but no one could despise him. He was the commander of these giants. This handsome young man controlled the most powerful people on Reach. The most violent weapon!

Li held a sharp sword in his hand. He first raised the blade, then put it down. After saluting with the long sword, he asked in a solemn and solemn voice: "The person in front of me, answer my question honestly! The God Emperor is the witness!"

The knights responded in unison: "No lies!"

"What is your life?"

"Honor is my life!" This voice echoed through the hall.

"What is your destiny?"

"Fighting is my destiny." The voices of the soldiers were as hard as steel!

"What is your expertise?"

"Death is my specialty."

"What is your fear of?"

"Failure is my fear."

"What is your oath?"

"My oath is eternal service."

This question and answer was so powerful, like a giant hammer, hitting the hearts of all the spectators present.

"Very good." Li looked at the horrified expressions of the spectators around him and nodded with satisfaction. Then he walked up to Virgil, slapped the side of Virgil's shoulder with his sword and said, "Virgil, You have a smart mind, can make accurate judgments on the situation calmly, are not afraid of danger, and do not abandon your teammates. You have successfully completed the tasks I assigned you, and even brought me too many surprises. In recognition of this. You, from today on, you will be promoted to become the Shadow Knight of the Chapter. I bless you, may the darkness be your friend forever, may the shadow protect you, may it hide your traces and cover your voice. The enemies will be afraid because of your existence, and you will become the sharp blade of the war group. The enemies of any war group will be afraid because of your name, and they will tremble all night and be unable to sleep!"

"Stand up, my knight, take your sword and stand aside!" With that said, Li handed the ceremonial sword in his hand to Virgil and walked to the next person. The mechanical slave beside him spoke in time. Another ceremonial sword was given, and Li took it casually, slapped the man on the shoulder with the sword blade, and then said: "Lancelot! Your sword is unstoppable. When your teammates are led by powerful orcs with fangs, After being brutally knocked down, you still stood alone in front of the enemy, never taking a step back, guarding the teammates behind you. Your back made people trust you, your tenacity made people admire you, your sharp blade could tear apart all enemies, and you used your Let the enemy tremble with the chainsword! Stand up, my sword knight."

"Roland, you are the leader of the soldiers. Your personality is impeccable and your tactical skills are admirable. You are the role model of the battle group. You have long deserved this honor, my Silver Knight. Get up!"

"Thor, your bullets are like storms, tearing apart the enemy mercilessly. You are qualified to wear this armor and let the heavy weapons continue to roar in your hands. My Wind Knight, stand up."

"Antali, your careful thinking and sharp sword skills are rare treasures for the battle group. You and Lancelot will be strong contenders for the championship swordsman of the battle group. Stand up, my sword knight. ”

"Tyget, your loyalty to the God-Emperor has led you here. Never let down your guard, my Shadow Knight!"

"Maxim, I can understand your anger, but what I admire even more is that you controlled your anger and vented it on the greenskin in a suitable way. Get up, my Shadow Knight!"

"Dulan..."

"Jack..."

"Ryan..."

Whenever Li finished reading a name, a warrior took the sword and stood up. Whether it was the Wind Knight, the Silver Knight, the Sword Knight, or the trembling Shadow Knight, the nobles felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

They finally understood why the consul brought them here to attend the ceremony. The consul was nakedly showing off his power, whether it was a huge, gorgeous and shocking warship, or these heroic and powerful warships. The warriors, especially the frightening Shadow Knights, just hearing Li's words make people tremble with fear. Compared to warriors, those people are more like assassins! All of this is a silent deterrent.

After the knights all stood up, Li looked at these promoted knights, "I am walking in the flames of war!" Li began to say.

"I strike and fight the anvil," the knights replied in unison.

"We are knights of the Templar Order, knights of the God-Emperor, and our bravery is beyond doubt! This is a great deed forged by the soul, stronger than gold and as tough as the immortal emperor. In the flames of war is where we worship , The roar of explosive bombs is our voice of prayer, and killing the enemy is our dedication to the heroic spirits of war!"

"Our bombs are filled with death and destruction," the knights shouted back, "the wrath of the God-Emperor!"

"Yes, we are the executors of the emperor's will in the world. We are the wrath of the God Emperor. I carry the flame to drive away the darkness, and I carry the faith to drive away the ignorance. Those who are welcomed will be born, and those who are rejected will be punished by death and eternal damnation." As Li spoke, he slowly looked at the spectators standing in the hall. His voice suddenly became cold and cruel, "No one is an exception. Those who are welcomed will live, and those who are rejected, I will bring death and eternity." The curse.”

After he finished speaking, Li ignored everyone's reactions, turned around, knelt down on one knee in front of the holy emperor's icon, and said, "Everyone, please pray with our Pastor Martin."

After all the spectators prayed tremblingly, the simple ceremony was completed.

"You just let them go?" After the prayer, Pastor Martin looked at the people leaving in a hurry and asked Li, "These people stayed away from the earth under their feet and came to our battleship. You didn't even stay. They have a meal.”

"Forget it, I don't think they want to stay here any longer. In this place, even if you give them delicacies in the world, they won't be able to taste it. Why bother them?"

Pastor Martin laughed in a low voice, "Captain Li, what you are doing is wrong. These people will be scared to death by you. I think some people's legs are so weak that they can't walk."

"It has to be like this. I'm afraid that some people are not sober and do something stupid. Our war group is the guardian of mankind, and I don't want the blood of those stupid people to stain our glory."

"I hope they can be more sensible, but please forgive me, Captain," Pastor Martin said seriously: "No matter what, I will not allow the Chapter to participate in internal wars. Our Chapter is the guardian of mankind. You are not a butcher. I cannot tolerate the war group attacking ordinary people because of your dominance. If there comes a day, I will ask the church for help and do my best to organize this matter."

"Martin, you are worrying too much," Li said lightly: "I will never let the war group do such a thing. They are all good guys. There is a nunnery of battle nuns not far from our Zhiyuan galaxy. On Sunday There are a large number of troops above, and there are too many people who can do such dirty things. It is not our battle group’s turn, but no matter what, I am the one who signed the order in the end.”

"And you are also a member of the Chapter. The honor of the Chapter will be stained by the blood of whose blood no matter what."

"Yes, may the God Emperor grant them wisdom."
