Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The high lords looked at the tall giant in front of them. He was standing in front of the lords wearing a golden power armor. The golden giant stared at them and his eyes seemed to be shining under the halo. Behind him stood dozens of people. The golden-armored Imperial Guards, who were closer to demigods than the Astartes, guarded behind him, silently declaring the authority of the person in front of them.

Vito looked at the high lords in front of him one by one. He was like a temporary god king, surrounded by the stars of the demigods. The high lords looked at the giant in front of them in horror. The majesty of the empire's highest power owner was almost instantly swallowed up by the man in front of him. He was like a vortex, sucking all the authority into it.

"Kneel down. Standing in front of you is the Supreme Marshal of the Empire, Vito Constantine. You must kneel down to him." Trajan, who was wearing a white lion fur, took a step forward from Vito. The commander of the imperial army spoke with The sound of thunder declared, and the majestic sound penetrated into the hearts of the people in front of them like cannonballs, and all the high lords knelt down.

The leader of the Council of High Lords, Minister Humphrey of the Ministry of Government, knelt down in front of Vito. He knelt down almost instinctively. He was once a supreme being beneath one person and above ten thousand people, but it was always others who gave him They knelt and saluted, but now the man above them descended, appearing before them with unquestionable majesty.

The high lords in the entire parliament knelt in front of Vito. They knelt behind Minister Humphrey. The minister, whose body was almost completely mechanized, raised half of his human face to look at the legendary Supreme Marshal in front of him.

"In the name of the Emperor, we sincerely welcome your return, sir. The Council of High Lords of Terra will serve you, but there are rebels outside attacking the Council. For your safety, I suggest."

"No, you don't need to worry about my safety, Lord Humphrey, because I am the leader of the rebels as you say." Vito said in a low voice like the muffled thunder flashing in the dark clouds on a rainy night, Han Fry looked at Vito in front of him, his eyes widened, and he and the lords behind him were quite shocked.

"But my lord, in the name of the Emperor, why do you?" "How dare you use the name of the Emperor? Lord Humphrey, why do you have the face to continue to speak of the name of the Emperor? Don't you still hide your existence from him? Shame?"

Vito stood in front of the lords. He looked down at the lords kneeling on the ground. Humphrey looked up at Vito's face in the light. He stared at him like the Emperor himself, the shimmering It was as if his eyes could penetrate their souls.

"I don't understand you, my lord. We have always served His Majesty the Emperor. We rule the Empire in his name and defend his truth and justice."

"You know what I'm talking about, Lord Humphrey, you're either so old and comatose that you've forgotten what you've done, or you're trying to deceive me." Vito whispered, but the voice made the high collar more angry than any admonishment. The hosts were horrified, and Humphrey watched Vito's eyes grow as big as electric lights.

"Sir, everything we do is for the Emperor! It's all for the Golden Throne!"

"You are just for your own desire for power. Look at yourselves, look at you, look at your own bodies. For thousands of years, have you used life extension technology and expensive equipment to extend your exhausted life? Just to let If you could hold the power of the Empire for even one day longer, how many meaningless resources would you have consumed and how many of the Emperor's outstanding people would have died?"

"Our lives belong to the Emperor! Me! I am his chosen one! I must live. Only in this way can I be saved! I am the voice of the Emperor. What I say is what the Emperor says. He lets me live! He is That’s what you told me!”

The crazy Pope suddenly howled. He stood up and waved his red sleeves, but Vito just gave him a cold look and said, "Quiet."

Vito's words seemed to be blasted directly into the Pope's mind. The aging Pope backed away repeatedly. He waved his robe randomly and shouted crazily, "I am the leader of his sect! I am his chosen one. Everything we do is the emperor’s will and His Majesty’s will!”

"You are crazy, Pope. What you listen to and shout are all crazy nonsense. You and your church were never established by the Emperor. Your existence itself is the greatest slander against the Emperor. The greatest slander against imperial truth.”

"Lie! I am his Pope! My sect was created by the Emperor! He gave me power! You are a heretic! You are a heretic in disguise, you are all heretics!"

The completely crazy Pope pointed at Vito and shouted, his withered fingers shook at Trajan and Angvar, "You are all heretics! Custodes! You betrayed the emperor! Traitor! Traitor!"

"Shut up! In the name of the Emperor, you treacherous man, keep quiet when the marshal speaks! Otherwise I will personally carry out the majesty bestowed by the Emperor!" Trajan said sternly and slammed the long-handled battle ax in his hand. On the ground, the dull rumbling sound seemed to frighten the aging old man. The Pope screamed randomly and fell to the ground, clutching his chest.

He continued to talk crazily, and the surrounding high lords looked at him. Vito also looked at the crazy old man and sighed helplessly, "Emperor's chosen people? You plunder food and supplies and hoard them within the high walls. And the people who have abandoned all of Terra, the people of humanity for whom the Emperor and I swore to find a future thousands of years ago, what qualifications do you have to continue to rule in his name?"

"We are doing this to protect Terra! Sir, everything we are doing is for the Emperor!" Marshal Desmond raised his head and pressed his chest and shouted loudly, but Vito glared at him. For a moment, the look in his eyes made Desmond shut up.

"You! Desmond! As the supreme leader of the imperial army I established, your stupidity and arrogance have made me unbearable! To be honest, the fact that you can become the Lord Marshal of the Astra Militarum is the greatest humiliation to me! Defend Terra? Anyone with even a modicum of military education knows that abandoning the parts of Terra outside the Imperial Palace means abandoning all orbital and planetary defense positions. You are only holding the Emperor hostage! Respect yourself and continue the inevitable death as long as possible, so that your ridiculous life can last just a moment longer!"

"But my lord! You did the same thing back then! During the Horus Heresy, you and Lord Dorn gave up most of Terra, clung to the palace and won the final victory. The traitor's head was beheaded, and Terra was obtained. save!"

"Then tell me who sacrificed himself to save Terra?! We were isolated and helpless at the time. Do you think the palace's void shield was invincible?! If Horus hadn't planned to proclaim himself emperor in Terra, instead of Intending to destroy Terra, the entire Throne World will be blown to atoms by his fleet in a matter of days!"

Vito shouted sternly, and angry lightning flashed around him as he roared, "If the Emperor hadn't killed Horus at the expense of himself in the end, we would have died long ago! The entire Terra and the entire Empire are finished! You have heard that story thousands of times, right? Tell me Lord Marshal, do you think the Emperor will stand up and save you again? ! "

"Then do you think Abaddon will do that? Will he give you a chance for an "epic showdown"? Abaddon just destroyed Cadia. Do you think he won't also completely destroy Terra, but on the ground?" Do you think he is stupid or am you the only one who wastes time talking to you?"

"Me, me." Desmond was scolded in front of the empire's military god and couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He just looked at Vito in front of him looking at his god in horror.

"Do you think I would do that? Indeed, I would, but not for you morons! All the crimes you have done are unspeakable! It has only been two days since I set foot on Terra, and I have already seen your crimes. It’s all over! Not to mention all the shit you did before!”

Vito roared and glared at the high lords in front of him. They all knelt on the ground and looked at Vito in horror. The golden giant pointed at the lords in front of him, and golden lightning flashed in his eyes as he roared. , the roar was also mixed with powerful psychic power and bombarded the surrounding walls, causing the entire space to shake.

"My lord, I'm sorry to interrupt you. I don't want to make you more angry, but there is one thing you must know, and I must tell you in accordance with my duties."

Angvar stood next to Vito and looked at his leader. Vito also turned his head slightly and looked at Angvar. He took a deep breath and nodded, "Tell me, Angvar, tell me. "

"Before your arrival, at the meeting of lords, Minister Humphrey ordered to continue to search for food and take away the last bit of food from the people of Terra. Admiral Bona, the naval lord, warned him that this would cause a bigger disaster in Terra. , an unstoppable riot, many troops and armed forces will join the uprising, and the palace will be captured by the uprising. "

"But Minister Humphrey asked Lord Marshal Desmond how to deal with it. The Lord Marshal's solution was appalling. He suggested ordering the Imperial Navy to bomb the entire Terra from orbit and blow up all the rebels and their hives together. , as well as the innocent residents among them, while eliminating the uprising, we can also feed less of those people. "

Angvar was right. As soon as his words came out of his mouth, Vito was filled with rage. He glared at the high lord who was kneeling on the ground, and the latter almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

"Now I know how the Emperor became a mummy. Not because he was burned up by the Star Torch, but because he was so angry with you idiots! How many more "surprises" do you want to give me? No, you won't There is a chance, because from now on you will be deprived of the power of the High Lord!"

As soon as Vito said this, all the high lords opened their eyes wide. They looked at Vito with an incredible expression, but Vito's angry eyes prevented any of them from saying even a word of rebuttal, especially Humphrey, who looked at Vito in utter shock, clasped his hands.

"In the name of the Emperor, I declare that the Council of High Lords is dissolved. The era of you using the name of the Emperor to extort money and satisfy your own selfish desires is over. The talented ones among you will be retained in this department and continue to work in our department. Serve the Imperium and the Emperor under Guilliman, and some of you will be stripped of all power!"

As soon as Vito said this, Minister Humphrey suddenly stood up. He and Vito glared at each other and roared, "No one can deprive us of our power! No one can dissolve the High Lords Council established by the Emperor himself! You. You are trying to rebel! You want to betray the Empire! You are disbanding us in order to monopolize the power of the Empire and evade the Emperor!"

"Heretic! Heretic! You are the fake Supreme Marshal! You are false! You are all heretics!" The Pope roared and got up from the ground. He stared at Vito in front of him with his bloodshot eyes, and his mouth was full of words. Crazy talk.

Vito looked up at the two oldest but also craziest high lords in front of him. They continued to curse Vito with the most vicious curses. Commander Trajan behind him grabbed the step and stepped forward, "Take care of it." Your mouths! What Marshal Vitor says is what the Emperor says! You are scorning the authority of the Emperor himself!"

"Heretic! You are a heretic! Commander Trajan! You are a traitor! Since you dare to help this heretic betray the emperor?! Sure enough, the Forbidden Army has been completely corrupted! You are all traitors!" Humphrey pointed at the picture irrationally Rajen yelled, and the latter was instantly angered. The commander and the imperial guards behind him angrily raised their weapons and walked towards the lords. If Vito raised his hand to stop them, I am afraid that the lords present would be killed. The body was broken into pieces.

Vito looked up at Humphrey in front of him. He just looked at him with contempt, and then looked at Admiral Bona behind him. Vito slightly raised his power armor to signal Bona to stand up, " I know you, Admiral Boehner, and I know you're an honorable man, so stand up."

"Do you know me? Sir?" Bona looked up and asked flattered, while Vito nodded slightly. He looked at the other lords in front of him, "I know all of you, so I know who is good enough and can You are one of those who continue to serve the Emperor, so stand up, Admiral Bona, and Lady Natasha, all of you."

"And you." Vito's words were suddenly filled with anger, and his calm tone instantly burned as vigorously as if fuel had been ignited. He looked at the three most shameful high lords in front of him.

"Humphrey, the Pope and Desmond, you will be deprived of all power. I, Vito Constantine, the Supreme Marshal of the Empire, sentence you in the name of the Emperor."

"No one can judge me! Bastard! No one can judge the lord marshal!" Desmond roared and stood up. He suddenly pulled out a bolt gun from the side of his large military coat and fired it. The shotgun was pointed at Vito, and the black muzzle was aimed at Vito's eyebrows.

"Bold!" Trajan roared and raised his battle axe. The imperial soldiers behind him took the bolter part of the halberd and pointed it at Desmond. Vito gently raised his hand to stop them from shooting the lord. The marshal was beaten to pieces.

Vito looked at Desmond in front of him coldly. He raised his head slightly and looked at him, "You are no longer the lord marshal. Desmond, don't continue to roar with that title. It will only make you look more pitiful." ,you all are."

"You have no right to deprive us of our power! We are lords appointed by the emperor himself! You have no right to do this!" Humphrey roared at the side, while Trajan tightened his grip on the battle ax and slammed the end of its handle It hit the ground, and a huge crash echoed under the dome of the entire hall.

"No, he has. I personally escorted the Marshal to the Golden Throne. The Emperor gave him this right. The armor the Marshal is wearing is the best proof. It is the Emperor's armor, and it is the authority bestowed by him. ”

"Lies! Lies!" The Pope pressed his head and shouted hysterically, "I am his divine choice! The Emperor will tell me personally. He. He told me that you are heretics! You are lying!"

Trajan looked at the poor and shameful old man, who was hysterically shouting that everything he was doing was meaningless, including Desmond who was holding a bolt gun, while the former leader of the High Lords Council looked at Looking at Vito, his mechanical eyeballs flashed red, as if his entire mind was on the verge of collapse. He tried hard to maintain the last trace of reason and looked at Vito, speaking in an extremely threatening tone.

"Without us, you won't be able to run the three most powerful departments in the empire: the Ministry of Government, the Ministry of State Education, and the Ministry of Military Affairs. Our people are spread throughout the departments. Without us, no one can lead them. You need us, Marshal, you We cannot be dismissed.”

Vito looked at the smart-aleck Humphrey and smiled. He raised his head slightly and looked at the minister in front of him with a smile. "To answer you with your favorite sentence, Minister Humphrey, there are many willing people in your respective departments." Those who replace you and obey orders, and those of your henchmen. Believe me, they have been sent to the emperor by Eva now, and the emperor will decide how to punish them, and you..."

"No!" The furious Humphrey roared and tore off his white robe. The snow-white robe, which symbolized the highest power of the Ministry of Government, was suddenly torn open. The buttons were broken and hit the ground. Trajan and Ange Watt looked at Humphrey, and then they both took a step back.

"Protect the marshal!" Trajan shouted and rushed forward. He and the imperial guards stood in front of Vito like a high golden wall, while Vito looked at Humphrey in front of him in the gap between them. , he pulled open his robe, revealing a bomb attached to his mechanical chest.

Upon seeing this, Bona and the other former lords immediately retreated. They watched Humphrey shocked by what they saw, but Humphrey had completely lost his rationality at this moment, and his last bit of stubborn resistance was also wiped out. Vito is broken, but he won't give up his rights, he won't!

"No one can take away my rights! I am the eternal high lord of the Ministry of Civil Affairs! Either I am, or no one can be!" Humphrey shouted while pressing the bomb embedded in his chest. He had obviously been prepared for it. Knowing this, they plan to die together when they are finally unable to defend their unlimited power.

"No one can take away my position! Not even you! Let's die together!" Humphrey roared hysterically like the Pope. He looked at Vito, who walked away from the Forbidden Army. Coming out, he gently pushed Trajan away in front of him, and walked in front of them wearing the emperor's personal armor.

Vito looked down at the three people in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him, looking at them as if he were looking at insects. "Let me finish the sentence you interrupted me before. In the name of the Emperor, My sentence for you is death."

As Vito spoke, he clenched his fist suddenly, and raised his golden iron fist suddenly. Suddenly, a huge gravitational force gathered Humphrey, the Pope, and Desmond together, and they were swept away by that Invisible fists were clenched in the hands and raised high, and the three shameful former high lords were thrown into the sky of the dome of the council chamber.

"No one! No one can take away my power! Otherwise everyone will die!" Humphrey looked at Vito below and yelled. He pressed the bomb on his chest and roared, but Vito looked at He smiled.

"Ah, you are old. Humphrey, the former high lord and former minister of government, let me help you." Vito said with a slight hook of his finger, and the red color triggered by the bomb on Humphrey's chest The ribs were broken, and Humphrey looked at the folded ribs and screamed.

His screams were quickly swallowed up by the explosion. Humphrey, the Pope, and Desmond were surrounded by the power. The fire of the explosion filled the psychic sphere, and their bodies were inside the sphere. disappeared in the explosion flames, and died tragically in their own "Jedi resistance" before they even had time to scream.

Vito released his palm, and the ball disappeared into the air. Nothing was left, not even the steel on their bodies. Vito looked down at the shocked remaining empire standing in the hall. Ministers, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the people in front of him.

"I can let go of your acquiescence in the treasonous behavior of these three people. I spared you because you are not rotten. You are still worthy of serving me and the Emperor, serving the Empire and all mankind. Soon you will Those traitors and scum within their respective departments, those insects that have no need to be saved will be eliminated under the joint action of the Inquisition and the Assassin's Court. Now, I need your answers."

Vito stared at the remaining ministers in front of him, with Bona von standing at the head of them. The admiral looked at Vito in front of him, and then he knelt down and buried his head in front of Vito, "I, Bona von. Admiral Oltan, on behalf of all members of the Empire, I pledge my allegiance to you, my Supreme Marshal."

"The Rogue Trader family is loyal to you, and we only obey your orders." The representative of the Rogue Trader knelt down, and soon Natasha behind him also knelt down on one knee. She knelt on the ground gracefully and bowed her head to Vito. .

"The Star Language Institute re-swears allegiance to you, sir. We will continue our responsibilities ten thousand years ago."

Soon, everyone in the entire hall knelt down. They represented their departments, the most powerful departments in the empire, to express their loyalty to Vito.

"Inquisition, the Assassin's Tribunal formally swears loyalty to you. Sir, I will relinquish my title to you. I will serve you as an ordinary Grand Inquisitor. At the same time, Grand Inquisitor Gordon of the Ministry of Justice has also entrusted me with I pledge my allegiance to you at this time, and all the judges and armed forces of the Ministry of Justice are at your command."

Angvar said and knelt beside Vito. At the same time, Trajan also knelt down with the imperial guards. The tall bodies of the golden-armored imperial guards knelt behind Vito.

"I, Trajan, Commander-in-Chief of the Custodes, also swear to you, in accordance with the Emperor's orders, that the Emperor's Custodes and the Sisters of Silence will obey your orders, in the name of the Emperor."

"In the name of the Emperor, I, Vito Constantine, the Supreme Marshal and Acting Regent of the Empire once again accept your oath. Now, everyone, please stand up. The time we have given us is probably coming to an end."

Vito said and motioned for everyone around him to stand up. After everyone stood up, Vito immediately turned and walked towards the corridor of the parliament hall behind him. The people behind him immediately followed, with Trajan and Angvar following at the front, and Angvar. Va walked beside Vito and looked at his marshal.

"Sir, where are we going now?"

Vito showed a smile and walked forward with his head held high, "Let the empire know that the era of the Great Crusade is back."
