Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

"First row! Suppress those iron-clad bastards, Second Lieutenant Badam, take your people and charge forward with me!"

The shouts were accompanied by a burst of gunfire, and the roaring voices of the soldiers echoed in Vito Erpang, followed by a series of intensive gunfire, as well as the screams after the human body was shot, and the metal bodies being shot. The shattering explosion as the pulse penetrates.

The thunderous sound of gunfire echoed in the corridor, the smell of blood and the rust of burnt steel were mixed together, the flowing energy liquid and blood flowed together, the sound of footsteps, and the sound of heavy footsteps accompanied by the cry of killing were heard in the corridor. kept echoing.

"Stolypin, Stolypin! Let your men fight over there, block them, and cover the marshal's assault to the main control room! Everyone, even if they all die today, they have to stop these iron bastards here!"

"For the Federation, for the Earth! For all mankind!" The man shouted and rushed past Vito. His body had long since disappeared. Vito looked at the shadow that flashed past him, which seemed to be The dreamlike shadow transmitted the remembered voice to Vito's ears, and the voice echoed in his mind.

The rumble of Thor's power armor stepping on the ground, the intensive firepower from the roaring muzzle in front, and the sound of metal breaking sounded one after another. The man roared and charged forward, finally falling to the ground where Vito could no longer see him. , the power and dull impact echoed on the ground.

Vito was walking in this corridor, and his footsteps passed by a collapsed iron man. Several large holes were punched in its entire chest. When Vito took a few steps, a gun, a gun, The gun was lying on the ground with its handle shattered after colliding with something. On the gun handle, even after ten thousand years, dried blood was still stuck to it.

The sound of gunshots and metal collisions still echoed in his ears. Vito listened to the sound of awakened memories. He walked through the corridors full of bullet holes, wreckage and laser cutting marks. As Vito Every time you step on a trace, the ancient sound of battle will sound like an activated music box.

"Go to hell, Iron Bastard!" Another roar sounded in Vito's ears, followed by the sound of lasers piercing steel. Vito listened to the sound and then walked past an Iron Man who fell on his back. , its entire chest was pierced by the laser sword from the front, and the laser sword that pierced its chest was still inserted into it.

Even if tens of thousands of years have passed, the sword is still stuck in its body, and the arm holding the sword is still in that place. Vito glanced at the severed Thor Power Armor arm on the ground, and it fell on Iron Man's body. In front of him, the flesh and blood in the broken section had long since degraded and disappeared, and even the white bones had long since disappeared.

Vito walked along the corridor of this ancient battlefield ruins. Similar wrecks were everywhere here, including the fallen Iron Man and the Thor Power Armor sitting slumped against the wall. Vito walked past the Thor Power Armor beside the wall. It sat limply on its side, Vito's face reflected in the single-sided reflector on its helmet.

Helen, who was in Vito's hand, also looked at everything around her. She looked silently at the wreckage of Iron Man and Thor power armor that collapsed everywhere. Many of them fell together, with their metal bodies leaning on each other. They fell together, and some were even still standing.

Helen's glowing eyes looked at a metal pillar that Vito walked by. Leaning on that pillar was a warrior wearing Thor's power armor. He was pierced by a kinetic energy spear and then nailed to the wall. The iron man who impaled him also stood, because its head was also pierced by the warrior's laser blade, and the entire steel head was stabbed through.

Iron Man stood like this, his head hung by the long-extinguished cutting blade, and the dagger of the blade was still held by the warrior. Even though the body in the armor had long since disappeared, the Thor power armor still faithfully fulfilled its master's last wish. The movement has been held like this for more than ten thousand years.

Helen looked at the power armor and lowered her eyes. She sighed silently and looked forward. Vito walked to the end of the corridor, which was full of bullet holes. The surface of the door was completely twisted into a deformed arc, and it hung feebly on the door frame. steel gate.

Its central door seam was completely torn apart by invisible force, and the twisted and broken metal parts were exposed in front of Vito. He looked at the torn door in front of him in silence for a while, and then the door seam was torn open from the door. He squeezed in and stepped sideways through the crack in the winding door.

Vito walked to an abyss. After walking behind the door, he came to the crack of the abyss. Vito's eyes looked down. In the extremely deep well, there was a sphere flashing, and a sphere was released. A sphere of powerful heat and stellar energy.

Vito's eyes reflected the flames of the stars, and the leaping slender flame threads meandered around on them. Black-red flare spots continued to appear on the surface of the expanding planet. After the black spots exploded, Flames washed over the surrounding rings, and those self-operating curved rings surrounded the star, greedily absorbing the power of the artificial star.

Artificial stars, yes, back then, humans implanted artificial suns into the interior of the Sky Blade. Countless Dyson sphere rings surrounded it, absorbing the surging power and injecting it into the energy pipeline. It was an eternal and powerful force. The energy core, the artificial sun, will burn for hundreds of billions of years, providing a steady stream of power for the fortress.

There are several similar suns in the Sky Blade. These suns that have been burning for hundreds of millions of years are still burning. When Helen activated the energy system of the entire fortress, they injected their surging power into the ship that was sleeping in the sea of ​​ice. Within the ten-thousand-year-old astral fortress, it was as if blood was flowing again in its veins, and the fortress immediately woke up.

Vito looked at the gate opposite the abyss rift. The arc-shaped gate was the entrance to the bridge. It was opposite the rift where the burning star was buried deep.

"Can you activate the pontoon? I don't want to jump over, and I'll be in trouble if I miss the mark and fall into the sun." Vito looked at the stars below him and asked, Helen nodded slightly and pressed her fingers on her temples. .

"Wait a moment, that's it." Helen said, putting down her finger that had just been put up for a second, and the floating metal arcs quickly spliced ​​together in the air, and the edges of the floating armor plates attracted each other. The magnetic lightning approached each other and locked together.

Those armor plates spliced ​​together a long bridge in front of Vito, and the wide bridge deck extended to the opposite side of the rift valley, connecting this section with that section.

As the end of the bridge deck connected with the edge of the ground under Vito's feet, Vito immediately stepped onto the surface of the long bridge. He walked across the long and wide bridge deck with Helen in his hands astride his sword. The burning sun cast its light on the underside of the long bridge, and the dancing firelight shone on the sides of Vito's arms and legs.

As the light shining on the side of his thighs danced, Vito stepped onto the other end of the long bridge. He walked up to the grand gate where the bridge gate was located. Like the gate on the other side, this giant gate It was also destroyed, and the broken door twisted and tilted to one side, exposing the core of the fortress behind it.

Vito stood in front of the collapsed gate and looked at the bridge. He turned to look at Helen. After the latter nodded slightly, Vito walked in. He walked into the gate with the Phoenix Sword swaying with his steps. , he walked onto the huge spherical bridge.

Surrounded by spherical arcs covering the entire bridge, are the huge domes and walls. The panoramic, arc-shaped, floor-to-ceiling windows give the crew in the bridge an excellent view. A complete 360-degree viewing angle completely covers the entire ship. The bridge has no blind spots to speak of.

Vito looked up at the dark glass above his head. Of course, they were not ordinary glass, but holographic display windows. When the battleship started, they would project all the scenes around the battleship here, as if you were only one with those things. The window is the same, but in fact, this place is buried deep in a layer of heavy armor and countless defensive firepower, literally invisible to the sun.

Vito walked onto the disc along the narrow suspended bridge behind the gate. It was a huge, giant disc suspended in the air. There were many small discs suspended around the disc. There were countless clear divisions of labor on it. The operating platform, those discs are prepared for the crew of the bridge.

The captain's position is right here, on the main disk surrounded by stars like a moon. Vito stepped on the main disk. He looked around the empty and huge disk. There was nothing here. There are no equipment or decorations on the smooth surface, and it looks like a bare lawn.

But of course Vito knew that this was just an appearance. He had supervised the construction of this fortress at that time. Of course he knew that adhering to his own pragmatic aesthetics, the design here was naturally completely opposite to the emperor's gorgeous Gothic style. , Vito doesn't like to expose many things that are not usually used, as if to show off.

He walked to the center of the disk, and Vito's palm was gently raised. As the palm was placed on the blue rhombus crystal in the center of the disk, the crystal suddenly lit up, and the shining blue light quickly Drive the things around you to start changing.

In a very short period of time, the ground at Vito's feet began to float and decompose. Rings and arcs rose up from the gaps in the ground. They surrounded Vito, and the inner parts of the rings lit up. Countless light points, those small light points quickly gathered the light projection around, and in a short period of time, countless holographic images and interfaces surrounded the surroundings.

Vito looked around at the floating holographic images around him. The blue light from those interfaces illuminated his entire body. His eyes carefully examined the interfaces flying around his body, and at this time, the blue light beneath him The color crystal also rose, and the crystal slid downwards and rose laterally behind Vito.

Several metal surfaces floated up on the crystal. Its shape and even structure changed in a very short period of time, and finally turned into a captain's throne suspended in the air. Surrounded by a halo, the throne is suspended in the air.

Vito didn't pay attention to the throne. His eyes were still looking at the surrounding interfaces, looking at them one after another, "How is the situation of this fortress? Can it still fly?"

Helen looked up at the floating pictures above her head, and her fingers clicked on them from a distance. But as her fingers clicked on each picture in the air, those pictures would react, and soon the entire interface was under Helen's control. She quickly switched between operations, and rows of data flashed across her eyes.

"The propulsion system was damaged during the war, but according to data records, after the Sky Blade fell into the ice sea of ​​Jupiter, the automatic vanguard robot in the fortress carried out emergency repairs, so the main thruster can still operate, but The attached propellers all suffered varying degrees of damage.”

"What's the result?" Vito asked. Helen shrugged slightly and pushed a data interface to one side with her fingers.

"The navigation speed is slowed down by 50%, and star system jumps cannot be made. However, short-distance jumps can still be made within the galaxy. We cannot leave the solar system with this big guy."

"We don't need to drive it out of the solar system. We can just kill Abaddon's bastards in the system." Vito's eyes reflected the blue halo around him, and he looked at the data interface flying around like snowflakes. .

"What about the weapons systems? How many weapons are still operational?"

"67% is still functioning normally. The Star Destroyer Cannon seems to be unable to fire, and the core energy axis is seriously damaged." Helen said, pulling up a holographic interface. On it were a series of red warning icons, but other than The rest is green.

Vito looked at the interface and shrugged, "I don't need the cannon anyway. Since I can't leave the solar system, I can only choose between blowing up Mars or the earth."

"But the remaining conventional weapons of the Golden Age can also give those bastards a good beating." Vito put his hands on his back and looked at the energy interface floating in front of him, and his head moved a certain distance along with the interface.

"The energy system is also normal. Those stars look as expected. They will burn for hundreds of billions of years without any problems. I think they can fly, right?"

"Yes, sir, it can fly." Helen said, pushing away an interface in front of her. Vito nodded with satisfaction. He turned around and placed Helen in the disk slot on the captain's command chair. That place was originally prepared for shipboard artificial intelligence.

"Then take over the system, fly it up, and let's go and deal with Abaddon." After Vito put Helen on it, he turned around with a smile. He was eager to look at the projection glass in front of him, and he could already imagine Abaddon in his mind. That bastard Barton's expression after hearing about this fortress, oh, that expression must be quite interesting.

Vito looked at the glass, but it never lit up. He was stunned for a moment and then turned to look at Helen behind him. She stood on the disk and did not start the system, but stood on it with her hands crossed on her abdomen. together.

Vito lowered his head and Helen showed a surprised look, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Artificial intelligence can also catch a cold?"

"Poisoning? If you think that's a cold."

Helen clasped her fingers in front of her as she spoke. She tilted her head slightly and was silent for a moment before speaking, "Sir, I don't know if there are any remaining parts of her in the Sky Blade. I don't know if I can remove her. Back then, I It was very difficult to win, and I was almost assimilated by her.”

"So, promise me, sir, if that happens in the end, you will destroy my core and not let her fly the Sky Blade again."

Helen said softly, and Vito looked at her in silence for a moment. He looked at Helen who lowered her head, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then opened her eyes, "I will save you, so go ahead and do it."

"Sir, you're not sure yourself, are you?" Helen smiled bitterly and looked up at Vito, who smiled with his arms crossed. Vito waved his hands and smiled confidently.

"I have done a lot of uncertain things in my life. It may succeed or it may fail, but I will do it anyway."

"I'll get you back, I promise."

Helen looked at Vito's paralyzed face in front of her and smiled, an unabashed smile. She looked at Vito and smiled, "Vito, don't make casual promises to girls."

"You know my style." Vito grinned. As he spoke, he looked at Helen and nodded gently. The latter also nodded silently with understanding, then took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Helen connected her data thinking to the system, connecting data nodes one after another. As each program branch was started one after another, Helen's thinking also touched the core system of Tianren.

She stopped before touching the system. She hesitated in front of the system, but in the end, she remembered what Vito had just said in her mind. She smiled and stretched out her fingers in front of her, towards the core. system part.

She connected to it, and the core system was activated instantly in a few nanoseconds. Every data fork was taken over by Helen. Her mind turned into the fortress itself. She could sense every part of the entire huge man-made celestial body, every part of it. Every line, every weapon, every corridor.

It succeeded, and nothing happened. Helen opened her eyes. She reached out and touched her heartless but still beating chest. She touched the core personality and let out a long sigh of relief. Her fear and worry disappeared. .

"She disappeared, completely disappeared." Helen said with relief. She was truly relieved. The big stone that had been weighing on her heart for more than 10,000 years finally fell away today.

"Very good, now my girl." Vito walked to the throne, stepped on the floating pedal and sat on it. He leaned back on the chair and put his hands on the armrests naturally. Helen turned around from the CD and looked at As Vito sat on the throne, the latter raised his head and looked at her happily.

"Ready for a ride?" he said with a smile, and Helen smiled and nodded, "Of course, sir."

As she spoke, she turned around and pushed her palms to both sides, and all the floating interfaces disappeared. Then all the surrounding display glass lit up, and the red startup icon appeared on the huge arc in front of Vito. The loading bar at the end was loaded quickly, and the entire glass showed a picture after a burst of flashes.

The icy deep sea of ​​Europa appeared all around, and the dark deep sea shrouded the surroundings, but this was only temporary. Helen on the armrest gently raised her arms, and almost instantly the entire seafloor began to shake. The Tianren body, buried deep under the mountains and seabed, moved like a part of her body.

The earth at the bottom of the entire seabed began to shatter, and a huge steel wing broke out from between the mountains. The collapsed mountains collapsed instantly under the pull of the sword-shaped giant wing, and those seamounts as tall as Mount Everest collapsed. As soon as it collapsed, huge pieces of rubble fell from the seawater, hitting the underlying seabed and raising large amounts of sand and dust.

The huge blade wings slowly rose from the deep sea, and countless rubbles fell from it to the bottom of the sea. Behind the giant wing that shattered the entire mountain range, another one stood up, and another giant wing emerged from it. The seafloor lifted, the shattered remains of the seafloor falling from its vast steel surface.

Its rise pulled up the entire seabed, and the land attached to it was torn apart. At this moment, more huge blade wings immediately rose from the bottom of the sea. They floated upward, pulling the Behemoths buried deep in the sea rise from the deep sea.

The main body of the magnificent Sky Blade Fortress released a powerful gravitational force. The powerful lifting force released from the earth's crust instantly shattered the entire earth's crust. As the behemoth floated from the earth, the broken plates also poured out. The magma at the end of its steel body illuminated its skin, and the hot molten lava sprayed everywhere on the seabed as it rose.

The entire Sky Blade Fortress rose from the ground of the deep sea. Its huge volume stretching for hundreds of kilometers tore countless huge cracks across the entire seafloor. Lava spurted into the seawater from the wide cracks, and the blazing firelight completely illuminated it. It covered the entire seabed and also illuminated the huge rising celestial body.

Its huge body slowly floats up from the deep sea to the sea level. The gravity launch shafts on both sides of it form dozens of gravity halo rings of different sizes outside the ring, gradually expanding from the inside to the outside. The shining halo stirs In the entire sea area, an underwater storm suddenly occurred in the calm sea area.

Vito sat on the captain's throne and looked at everything in the holographic images around him. He looked at the sea water surging around him, and the huge mountain debris driving streams down from above his head. They hit the surface of the sky blade and melted in an instant. For collapsed rubble.

The sky blade slowly rose upwards, and the end of its blade-like main body was raised and hit the ground. The blade suspended at the bottom of the main body cut out a large rift valley on the seabed like a real giant blade. As the fortress As it rose, the giant blade penetrated almost the entire deep sea, leaving an eternal burning scar on the surface of Europa.

The end of its giant blade was slowly pulled out after chopping up a large area of ​​land. It rubbed upwards from the edge of the crack in the earth. The spewing magma illuminated its end, illuminating the sky that was rapidly rising towards the sea level. blade end.

The frozen sea level was instantly pierced and shattered. Several huge blade wings rising from the sea floor shattered the thick ice. As the long wings rose, they shattered a larger area of ​​ice, one by one. The thick cracked ice floes floated violently due to the stirred sea water, like large ships rocking in the stormy sea.

In the end, the big ships sank like the Titanic. As the main body of the Sky Blade emerged from the sea level, the huge ice layers and iceberg floating blocks on the entire planet's surface were all shattered and thrown up. A huge The ice surface slid down as the main body of the Sky Blade flew up from the sea. They slid off the steel surface and fell into the sea water like meteors.

A large number of waves surged on the sea, but even the largest iceberg wreckage was incomparable to the stormy waves stirred by the Sky Blade. Tall steel walls rose from the sea, constantly stirring and impacting the sea level. Because of its huge size, the process lasted a long time.

Finally, when the epic giant fortress finally emerged from the sea, it rose into space. The six pairs of huge wings, tens of kilometers long, spread out symmetrically and drew upwards from the atmosphere. The friction caused by Fiery fire spurted downwards on both sides of the giant wings, but the raging flames still could not cover its indescribably large body.

When the final blade of the Heavenly Blade flew up from the sea, its top had already reached space. The huge Heavenly Man's head was in the sky, but its feet were on the ground, standing like a giant that penetrated the planet. It stood on the surface of the planet. On the north side, it was like a sword in the stone being pulled out from the planet itself, with six pairs of wings spread out around it.

The sun's rays shine from a distance, shining on the seraph that blocks the sunlight. Its majestic body spreads its wings under the light of the solar system.

Ten thousand years later, the largest war machine ever built by mankind has re-emerged in the curtain of the universe, and it will burst out with a roar that shakes the galaxy for its return.
