Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 104 The End of the Era: The Calm Before the Attack

The green fluorescent light illuminated the bridge of Vito's nose and cheeks. The small holographic structure diagram was in front of his black eyes. His fingers fiddled with the holographic sphere in front of him. The holographic structure layers of the Blackstone Fortress followed his orders and drags. Layers were opened, and every passage and every deck was clearly suspended in front of Vito's eyes.

His eyes scanned the passages of the Eternal Will. He used his left hand to slide up the left armor structure of the fortress, and then a small red dot flashed in the holographic image of the Blackstone Fortress.

The engine room, or the core of the reactor, of course, is not the reactor installed by the Human Empire, but the ancient reactor that was included in the Blackstone Fortress when it was discovered. Its high technological content made the Mechanicus obsessively study it for a while. It is precisely because of this that the Mechanicus has recorded the perfection of the black market fortress, with ridiculously detailed structural diagrams.

This group of oil guys have been tirelessly conducting research, scanning, verification and more importantly recording for centuries. The entire hologram has become extremely detailed, and even every pipe and cable has been marked and recorded. .

Although Vito hates the Mechanicus most of the time, especially Omega's habit of suddenly stopping when they are fighting aliens, spending an entire hour scanning and dissecting an alien device, and then leaving them to die outside. kind.

But sometimes he would also be sincerely happy about their bad habits, especially when he was about to go to something like a springboard. Having the ridiculously detailed structural diagram in hand would increase his chances of winning a lot.

Vito raised his head and looked at the Space Marines on the tarmac. The Space Wolves warriors were assembled here, most of them preparing in their own squads.

Space Wolves warriors wearing Great Crusade-era power armor were preparing for battle. Some of them were cleaning their chainsaws or chainswords, while others were checking their bolters and heavy weapons. The gun was dismantled and carefully inspected one by one before being reassembled.

Weapons boxes engraved with Fenris totems were carried onto the deck by servitors. The Wolf warriors opened the big boxes, grabbed a large amount of explosive ammunition from them and loaded them into the magazines, or replaced the weapons they were currently equipped with. .

The wolf guard sergeant walked between the soldiers under his command with heavy steps. The wolf guard would check the weapons of the soldiers from time to time and help them adjust the weapons to the best condition.

The soldiers talking to each other did not seem to be tragic at all about their imminent death. They were still chatting and laughing, reciting the Bible to appease the machine spirits, and the work of applying holy oil and lubricating oil was carried out in an orderly manner.

Vito looked at the countless Thunderhawks parked quietly in the hangar. Fifty Thunderhawks were parked in the hangar of Infinite Frontier. The entire hangar was completely emptied to give these steel raptors a place to stay. dock.

The servitors are preparing under the command of the technical sergeant. Fuel is being poured into the fuel tank. The wings of the fighter plane are swinging up and down for inspection under the operation of the pilot. Missiles are hung one by one on the weapon rack, and the explosive cannon is also Loading is carried out under the hard work of the servitors.

The ammunition truck was parked next to the station, and a whole string of explosive ammunition slid smoothly into the artillery. The ground crew held the data panel to carefully check the loading status.

The wolves' gray raptors were still ready, and the pack itself would soon be setting out.

Sven Gorehowl deployed half of his soldiers and armed forces to the Infinite Frontier. One hundred Space Wolves Space Marines and an entire company of other chapters were assembled on the wide deck.

The Cadian warriors and skitarii were scattered on the remaining take-off and landing decks. Vito learned from the communication channel that they had completed their departure preparations and could attack at any time.

This was Swain's idea. If the Infinite Frontier and the Firemane Fang were to attack together, then the warriors on them should be equally divided between the two ships to ensure that any ship could successfully attack the Blackstone Fortress. Can project enough power to launch an attack.

It was a guaranteed plan, Vito knew, because no one knew that the ship could complete the assault deployment without being destroyed, so yes, it was a classic suicide attack deployment.

But what surprised Vito was that the captain was very calm when he told Cole the plan. He didn't even yell to retort, but calmly began the deployment work.

Vito asked him if he wouldn't scold himself. This was Cole's exact words.

Ah, one more thing, Swain gave the command of the entire Space Wolves Chapter assault force to Vito, and asked him to command these Wolves. Isn't it outrageous? It would definitely be impossible for a mortal to command the Astartes if it were someone else or another regiment.

But the Wolves believe in Vito, whether it's Sven, or the warriors here, so yes, Vito has done something very outrageous once again.

"This isn't the first time you, bastard, has led us to death, and it won't be the last, so get ready, asshole."

Well, at least Cole is confident, right? But indeed, this is the first time Vito has taken them on such a suicide mission, but so far they can still do it again alive.

In fact, everyone on Vito's ship reacted calmly, and even the ground staff completed the deployment without expression. It seemed that no one thought there was anything worth mentioning about the whole family's attack on Blackstone Fortress this time, okay? , Vito seems to do similar things every time, and everyone is desensitized.

A burst of noise attracted Vito's attention. He looked over. In the open space between the Thunder Eagle and the Thunder Eagle in the center of the deck, Ragnar and Lancelot were having a daily contest. The two giants One man wielded a chain ax and the other wielded a power sword and fought each other, while the surrounding Space Wolves burst into howls.

To be honest, every time they do this, Vito wonders, did that old bastard use the wrong canine genes when he was training Leman Russ? For example, I got the wrong one for a husky.

The cheerful young wolf warriors gathered around, waving their battle axes and shouting and cheering. Every time Ragnar slashed, there was a burst of cheers, and every time Lancelot struck, there was even more excitement. of cheers.

The constant shouting seems to have become the new normal at the airport. The happy soldiers have high morale and seem to have completely forgotten what they are going to do. But indeed, this is also a good habit at this moment, isn't it?

Suddenly a figure fell down and was hugged by Vito subconsciously. Lilith sat on Vito's wrist and put her arms around his neck. She kissed Vito very directly. .

The young wolves looked over and made a hooting sound. Lancelot also looked over, and in the moment of being distracted, he was punched in the face by Ragnar and fell to the ground.

"Aha! Leman Russ is on top! I am Victory. My Sun!" Ragnar raised his arms and cheered for victory, but before he could say a few words, he saw Ragnar's cheers from Vito's side. It immediately turned into a wail, and he swung his ax and shouted.

"I'm sorry! Vito! Go back to your room and do this!" "The one who beats you! Husky!" "What?!" "A kind of wolf from ancient Terra! I'm praising you!" "

Vito finally broke away from Lilith's "deep kiss" and cursed loudly. Ragnar waved his arms and cursed. His voice was loud enough to make the entire deck pay attention to the "private love life" of the inquisitor.

Vito pointed at Ragnar and shouted righteously, "Lion! Bite him!" "As you command!"

Lancelot, who had been waiting for revenge, jumped up and punched Ragnar on the chin. The wolf fell to the ground, and the lion of Caliban immediately pounced on him. As they fought together, the attention of all the space warriors was immediately drawn back to the fight between the lion and the wolf.

Vito looked at the joy over there. He glanced at Lilith who was sitting in his arms. The latter's little succubus tail had begun to climb up along Vito's arm. Vito hit her The little head said, "There are more than a hundred space warriors! One shot per person and both of us will be gone!"

Lilith smiled and touched her head, put her head in his arms and stretched, "What are you pretending to be? It's not like you can't stop a hundred explosive bombs."

"When did I stop a hundred explosive bombs?" Vito asked in surprise. Lilith smiled and scratched her finger on Vito's neck. The electric shock made Vito tremble all over, and he After putting down Lilith, the queen of the succubi naturally stood up and sat on the Thunderhawk driver's door frame behind Vito.

Lilith held her chin and looked at the lion and wolf fighting together. Ragnar and Lancelot were fighting. You punched me and I punched each other, but it seemed that they did not resent each other but were happy. They cursed each other and fought fiercely amidst the curses and cheers from the surrounding soldiers.

"Ragnar is very popular among young warriors." Lilith said, shaking her feet. Vito leaned on the armor plate of the fighter plane next to her, turned on the display and continued to look at the structural diagram.

"Yes, he is."

It was not Vito who answered Lilith, but Olaf who came in heavy power armor. The old wolf strode over holding a priest warhammer. He came to the Thunder Eagle and nodded politely to Lilith.

"Ragnar was once the best among the young warriors. He saved the lives of many people during the Mokai Trial. He did not only want to become a celestial warrior himself, but hoped that all brothers would be like this."

Olaf looked at Ragnar who was laughing during the fight and said, "That was not a lone wolf, but the leader of a pack of wolves. I still remember that day he arrived at Wolffang Castle with ten recruits. I have never seen this. This happened, and the challengers united and obeyed around one of them, crossing the ice and completing the terrible challenge."

"He is an unruly wolf, but he is also a leader. We all believe that one day he will achieve many things we have never imagined."

Lilith looked at Olaf with a smile. Her smile was still so charming. Vito's enhanced hearing could hear someone among the new recruits discussing Lilith. Well, most of the content would probably be lost if it were in other battle groups. Their sergeant major was about to use electric batons to deal with them.

If it were in the Dark Angels and Imperial Fists, they would probably be shot directly, but obviously, the Space Wolves are very "open" to this behavior.

Vito dared to say that Lilith could hear those comments, but she was very happy to enjoy this unique "praise" and seemed to enjoy it. She lifted up her long hair and nudged the back of Vito's head with her toes.

"Don't look at it. When we fight, it's all about improvising." "You get twice the result with half the effort, understand? Be fully prepared before taking action."

Vito said but also turned off the monitor. The holographic structure image of Blackstone Fortress disappeared. Olaf looked at the holographic structure picture and nodded slightly, "This is how Lord Guilliman taught the Ultramarines. He taught them to become excellent tactics." with the master of strategy to bring out all the power."

"But, the primarch did not write the methods of dealing with all troubles, especially the confusion and doubts in the scriptures, right?"

Lilith smiled and held her chin. As a succubus of Slaanesh, she keenly captured Olaf's haze. She and her girls are very good at this, hooking out all the secrets of people's inner thoughts.

Olav did not intend to hide it, because he knew that Vito could see that he had always been the most meticulous one.

"Yes, the Ultramarines are excellent tactical masters and strategists, but they do not know how to deal with their inner fluctuations and thoughts, just like most young space warriors."

"And there is only one young Ultramarines on our ship, Olaf, I know who you are talking about, what about the others?" Vito raised his head and asked, Olaf slightly tilted his head to indicate the Thunderhawk in the corner in the distance, the blue Thunderhawk fighter.

Vito sighed and patted Lily's legs, then stood up and walked in that direction. Lilith sat in the Thunderhawk cockpit and looked at Vito with her chin in her hand, while Olaf stood beside her and looked at Vito.

"He is an outstanding leader, no worse than any I have ever seen." Old Wolf said, while Lilith smiled and looked at Vito, her long eyelashes slightly floating down.

"Yes, if he had listened to us at that time, this galaxy would not have become such a mess."

"You? Did the Inquisition ever advise Vito to take over the mission of a certain leader?" Olaf asked, then nodded affirmatively, "It must be a difficult mission, and I believe the Inquisitor can do it."

"He could have replaced him."
