Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Varrick was walking under the huge dome of the orbital deck. He was walking around anxiously and shouting, driving away the ground crews and servitors who were busy around. The young orbital officer waved his arms towards the people who were carrying weapons boxes on one side. The workers were shouting loudly.

"Hurry up! You lazy pigs! Hurry up! Marshal Vito may arrive at any time! If this place is still in such a mess when he arrives, you will all be whipped! And I promise to beat you to pieces!"

The workers carrying the boxes loaded the long gray-green boxes onto the transport truck. They turned their heads and looked at Varrick behind them, who was wearing a gray-green military uniform and a big-brimmed hat with two silver stars on his shoulders. One of them complained and patted the box next to him.

"But Lieutenant Colonel, where are we moving these boxes? They haven't been registered yet." A worker holding a registration book asked in surprise. He tapped the notebook in his hand, but Lieutenant Colonel Varrick was annoyed. He walked over, grabbed his notebook, and slapped him on the head.

Varrick slapped the worker hard on the forehead, and the latter subconsciously took a few steps back and bumped into the carriage of the transport truck. The worker rubbed his head and looked at the speechless Varrick in front of him.

The lieutenant colonel glanced at the boxes on the car, then took out a pen from his arms and quickly signed a line. The line that should have been beautiful became distorted because Varrick wrote too fast. It was crooked, and he could barely make out his name. After writing it in a flash, Varrick threw the notepad to the worker.

"I have approved the storage! Get these damn things away from me!" Varrick pointed at the boxes in the car and yelled. He also looked nervously in the direction of the deck entrance. He knew that Vito could come from there at any time. Appear, and the Emperor is on top! Why did those oil guys choose to log in here! This damn place was just an ordinary cargo deck ten minutes ago, with boxes and cans piled everywhere, but now it is here to welcome the arrival of the marshal.

What's worse is that Varrick only knew about this five minutes ago. He rushed over in a hurry, because everyone on the deck knew that he was now the Marshal's personally selected attendant, so this temporary and unfortunate reception was Just threw it to Varrick.

He hurried over in a hurry, grabbing all the workers, servitors and ground crew he met along the way to clean the deck. The Emperor! This deck full of containers is definitely not suitable for welcoming a god. If the marshal is dissatisfied, everyone here will be whipped lightly, and they will most likely be killed directly!

"But sir, you are not the manager of the warehouse. Logically speaking, you have no authority to come here." The worker looked at the signature on his hand and muttered in a low voice. Then he chose to shut up when Varrick turned his head and glared intimidatingly.

"I am the marshal's attaché! What I say is the highest order! Now get these damn things away! As far away as you can!" Varrick roared and looked at the workers in front of him. They looked at each other and now He was still struggling with whether Varrick really had the qualifications and power, but Varrick couldn't wait any longer.

The lieutenant colonel stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the worker holding the notebook. Warrick pushed him into the cab of the transport truck, then kicked and punched the remaining workers to get into the car or go somewhere else. At his "vivid reminder", the transport truck quickly pulled the boxes and drove away, and everyone ran around to help elsewhere.

Warrick looked at them and rubbed his head speechlessly. After adjusting his military uniform, he looked around at the busy crowd. Everyone was working nervously. The deck that was a mess just now became much cleaner. Okay, there are still a lot of boxes left here, but at least the neatness is acceptable.

The military rank badge on Varrick's shoulder was branded with two silver stars. The pair of silver stars shone brightly under the light of the deck. Yes, that's right. Do you remember what you said before? Lieutenant Colonel Varrick, not Captain.

Yes, Varrick was promoted, and he was promoted two levels in a row and entered the commander level. This is not common. Even considering that Varrick himself has a prominent family background, this is still quite rare in the army. Continuous promotions The title generally only appears among officers with outstanding military exploits and undisputed service resumes. They usually have fought for the empire for most of their lives and are not young.

But Varrick is obviously very young, quite young, and his promotion is not at all due to military exploits, let alone his family. If the latter could have worked, he would have been a member of the commander class long ago. He was promoted because of Vito , as mentioned before, everyone knows that Varrick is now Vito's entourage, and as a marshal's entourage, the captain's rank is obviously too low, so those in the Ministry of Military Affairs are still frightened because the marshal lord was executed. The half-dead officials plan to please Vito by promoting Varrick, hoping that he can give them a few nice words in front of the Supreme Marshal.

Warrick still remembers the scene when he was awarded the title. Even the newly appointed Minister of Military Affairs, Hancock, went there in person. He personally put the title on himself, and he was flattering and saying good things to himself throughout the process. Humph, it was clear that the entire military affairs department didn't care about him as a young officer before, but now that he has become the marshal's entourage, the attitude of these opportunists has changed 180 degrees.

Varrick continued to roar as he thought about it. He shouted at the workers around him, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Get that garbage away!"

He roared and suddenly heard a burst of footsteps behind him. It was an ensemble of heavy footsteps, the sound made when tall giants stepped on the armored floor. Varrick was startled and immediately looked towards Entering the entrance of the deck, a large group of giants wearing golden armor walked in under the arch.

The lieutenant colonel looked at the golden giant at the head. His power claws were gently shaking at his side, and a golden halo flashed behind his head. He strode into the deck with his head held high, followed by a group of golden armors. Guards surrounded him.

Everyone around the place he passed knelt down. The workers who were busy moving things just now threw down the goods on hand and immediately turned to face him without hesitation and knelt down. In an instant, the entire deck was full of people. They were people kneeling on the ground. They were all lying on the ground facing the golden man.

Warrick immediately ran up, he quickly ran up to the golden giant and looked up into his eyes, and the latter also looked at Warrick with a smile, "Hello, Captain Warrick, oh, no Sorry, I didn’t notice you were a lieutenant colonel now.”

"Sir!" Varrick said and immediately knelt down. He knelt on one knee in front of Vito and buried his head towards Vito. "Please forgive us, sir. We started to clean up the deck temporarily. I didn't expect you." Arrived so soon.”

"It's okay, Varrick, I am a soldier and I don't need to be greeted by a clean and tidy place that wastes time. This place is clean enough. Considering that you have accomplished all this in such a short period of time, you have done a good job. "

"It's a great honor! Sir!" Varrick responded loudly as he knelt on the ground with his head buried. Vito smiled softly. He looked at the two silver stars on Varrick's shoulders and turned his head slightly to look behind him. Hancock.

"General Hancock, I remember that Officer Varrick was once a captain, right? His current military rank is lieutenant colonel. Is this promotion in compliance with the regulations based on his qualifications and service experience?"

Only then did Warrick notice that Hancock was also there. The newly appointed Minister of Military Affairs approached Vito in an extremely flattering manner. He tried to stay calm but still had a nervous and awkward smile on his face, "My lord, as a Your Marshal, Captain of the High Marshal's Attaché, is too low in rank, so we have decided to raise Varrick's rank to one worthy of yours."

"I'm not that great, and I don't need to break the rules to satisfy myself. Besides, whether it's a lieutenant colonel, a captain or a second lieutenant, talented people can follow me, and I will give them the power they deserve, regardless of Military rank."

Vito looked down at Hancock in front of him. The latter nervously took a few steps back and bumped into Eisenstein's leg. He saw the Imperial Fist Captain standing behind him and jumped forward a few times in fright. step.

Vito still looked at him, and after the latter turned his head nervously, he slightly turned to look at Varrick in front of him, "Let Varrick continue to be captain and do things according to the rules. Do you have any objection? Varrick."

"Of course not, Marshal, in fact I would be more than happy to do so."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Because then I don't need to be kidnapped by certain people and groups into their political chariot, and I can truly serve you."

Varrick said as he glanced at Hancock out of the corner of his eye. The latter was extremely nervous when he saw Vito and glanced at him. The new Minister of Military Affairs was so frightened that his legs could hardly stand.

Vito just looked at him and smiled coldly, then turned to look at Varrick. He gently raised his hand to signal him to stand up, "Then get up, follow me, all of you, get up." , don’t let me delay your work.”

Varrick nodded slightly, and when Vito passed by, he stood up and followed Vito. The young Varrick followed the Supreme Marshal and followed his footsteps across the deck. Behind him were the tall golden-armored guard and two Astartes monks.

Varrick turned to observe the other followers behind him. He naturally knew the two Astartes. He had seen the Captain of the Imperial Fists and the Ultramarines Apothecary on the deck at that time, although they were both wearing helmets before. , resulting in Varrick not recognizing their faces, but now that he saw them, he knew what they looked like.

Eisenstein gently nodded to Varrick, who immediately nodded in response to the company commander. Varrick then looked at the remaining people, not to mention the Emperor's Custodes, and Han Kao, who came to flatter him. Ke and Mr. Harker, but he also unexpectedly noticed a female warrior wearing power armor with the same patterns, carvings and even styles as the Imperial Army.

Varrick looked at the female warrior in surprise. She walked with cold eyes and carried an extremely wide two-handed giant sword behind her. The weapon that resembled a Scottish broadsword was carried behind her, hanging high on her back. The ends of her silver hair swayed with her steps.

Varrick had never seen such a female warrior, and he was certain that she was not a member of the Sisters of Battle, but more like a Custodes, but were there any mortal warriors among the Custodes? Or a woman?

"Varrick." Vito suddenly spoke from the front, interrupting Varrick's observation and conception of the female warrior. He immediately turned to look at Vito in front of him, put his hand on his chest and bowed, "Sir."

"When will the Martians arrive?" Vito said, walking along the deck, his head slightly glancing at the deck entrance and exit with blue air shields flashing in the distance, and a ship sailing on the Milky Way background with twinkling stars outside. A battleship, including a red battleship sailing among them.

"I believe they will be here soon. People from the Mechanicus are never late. They are on time just like clockwork." Varrick also looked at the fleet outside with Vito and said, while Vito nodded slightly.

"Very good, then how long will it take for them to arrive?"

After hearing the marshal's question, Varrick immediately took out the watch in his arms and looked at it, "Now, sir." "Well, it can be seen that they are indeed on time, every detail is accurate."

After Vito said that, Varrick also raised his head again and saw an Archaeopteryx transport plane flying in from the outside. The very unique small transport plane unique to the Mechanicus flew in from outside the air shield. The red fighter plane was like a The big steel bird flapped its wings and slowly flew in from outside the deck.

The Archaeopteryx slid for a distance above the deck dock and then stopped. As the angle of the vector jets and wings was adjusted, the Archaeopteryx slowly and steadily hovered before landing. The red iron bird was accompanied by a huge downdraft. fell on the deck.

Vito stopped. He and the entourage around him stood in front of the Archaeopteryx transport plane. A hatch at the end of the transport plane fell down after the yellow indicator light rotated and flashed. The descent time of the hatch Almost seamlessly connected to the ground, it is amazing to see the execution of the Mechanicum.

As the cabin door fell, several members of the Mechanicus walked out of it. Their iron feet stepped on the cabin door panel and stepped out of the Archaeopteryx. These visitors, who were almost completely mechanized, walked out of the transport plane and took a few steps to Vito. Looking up at the golden giant in front of him from a distance.

The leading Skitarii officer looked at Vito with his mechanical eyes. His rose-red mechanical eyes locked onto Vito. After a moment, he seemed to have completed the recognition and then knelt down. He and the others behind him were dressed differently. The members of the Adeptus Mechanicus knelt before Vito.

"Sir Supreme Marshal, I am commanded by the Forged General of Mars to lead the Mars Skitarii, War Fleet and Titan Legion to serve you. In the name of Ohm Messiah, we will obey all your orders."

"Mars Forge General? Are you here under his order?" Vito frowned slightly after hearing this. He looked at the leader of the Skitarii in front of him and said coldly, and he couldn't help but grasp the power claw in his hand. Tightened up.

But obviously, the leader of the Skitarii did not notice the hostility in the words. He just explained the meeting words mechanically, which was just a program written in his own program.

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal, we are here under the orders of the Forging General and under the instructions of the Great Sage Belisarius Caul himself. The Great Sage Caul asked me to convey a message to you."

"The troubling problem has been solved, and the day of redemption is coming soon. I wish you good luck, my friend, and we will see you in the end." The leader of the Skitarii said coldly, and his voice turned into Caul's voice for an instant. A very unique and strange synthesized sound came from the throat of the leader of the Skitarii.

Vito was stunned for a moment after hearing Call's voice, and then released his power claw with a silent smile. He knew what happened.

"I am honored, Grand Marshal of the Skitarii. Please stand up and introduce you to me so that I know how to address you." Vito said and raised his hand to indicate that the members of the Mechanicum kneeling in front of him did not have sex with Terra. The officials were so frightened that they did not dare to stand up. They stood up directly. Obviously they would not feel uncomfortable standing in front of the Supreme Marshal during the data calculation, and this was exactly the quality Vito needed at the moment.

He needs a group of calm warriors, subordinates who can boldly advise him, not a group of bureaucrats who are afraid of him and can only flatter him.

"I am the senior general of the Mars Skitarii, Beta β-1. I am ordered to lead the Mars Skitarii legion. I have an entire Skitarii legion under my command, and according to the great Belisarius Caul By the sage's advice, and by divine gift, he has given us three general cannons to bring to Terra to fight for you."

"Hey, three general cannons? I know that guy Caul has hidden a lot of good things, but I didn't expect him to be such a rich man. I will definitely go find him and beat up the landlord before setting off on the expedition." Vito said with a smile, and then looked at He looked at the other two members of the Mechanicus behind Beta. They were all wearing red robes, but the symbols on them were completely different.

"Where are these two venerable priests? What shall I call our friends?"

"This is Archpriest Eugen on my left. He is responsible for commanding all ships of the war fleet. Father Eugen will accept your orders on his Oberon-class battleship "Wrath of Ohm Messiah"."

Beta raised his hand slightly to introduce the priest on the left. The latter immediately nodded to Vito, and the marshal also nodded politely to him in response.

"How many battleships did your fleet bring? Father Eugen."

"Two battleships, ten main battlecruisers, twenty cruisers, and one hundred and sixty frigates of various types, the fleet will be at your command, Marshal."

Eugen introduced mechanically, with only the cold echo of the computing system in his words, but this also allowed him to report to Vito in the most concise way the number of key fleet forces he brought to Terra.

Vito nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the last priest on the right. He was wearing a dark red robe and a unique helmet that was completely integrated with his head. A huge blue machine Turning her eyes on his right eye, "What about you? Priest."

"This is the Alpha pilot and the legion commander sent by the Titan Order. He will command the Titans to fight for you."

"It is our honor. I have three warlord-level Titans under my command, including my vehicle "Wrath of God", as well as sixteen Knights and ten War Dogs. The divine soldiers of the God of All Machines are waiting for your orders. ,grown ups."

The Supreme Marshal nodded slightly to show respect to him. His huge power claw was slightly raised, and golden lightning flashed on it as if in agreement. "My honor, Alpha Pilot, I am honored to fight alongside the Titan Legion." , I believe you will unleash the wrath of the Ohm Messiah and the Emperor."

"In addition, General Beta, our friend, you see, Mr. Harker, the Minister of State, is troubled by a problem. He needs food and supplies to solve Terra's current imminent famine problem. I think maybe you can provide the corresponding Help, am I wrong?"

Vito faced the Marshal of the Beta Skitarii with a smile. His mechanical eyes watched the Supreme Marshal in front of him rotate a few times, and then used the voice that had long been replaced by the mechanical sound device to make a weird synthetic electronic sound, "Yes, "My lord, at the direct request of the Great Sage Belisarius Caul, our fleet has brought redundant supplies from Mars, hoping to meet your request."

Vito smiled with satisfaction. He turned his head and looked at Mr. Harker behind him. The latter was standing with Hancock and nervously looking around at the Custodes and Astartes. He was standing among them. It's awkward, you know, like two children standing so small among adults.

"Mr. Hack, I think your problem has been solved. Thank our Martian allies, and then send your people to move the goods as soon as possible, and then distribute them according to regulations. In order to help you with your work, I will send the Inquisition If the inquisitors involved in the distribution report to me that some supplies have been withheld for no reason, or have been changed from distribution to being sold in the market, I will be very disappointed, quite disappointed. "

"Yes, my lord! I will supervise it myself! I promise you that you will not be disappointed!" Huck was so frightened that he knelt down. He was sweating profusely and was clearly frightened. Now he was under pressure. , a lot of pressure, because he has to ensure that the corrupt officials in the Ministry of Government who are used to enriching their own pockets will act according to the rules. Believe me, this is as difficult as teaching the Ogryn ape to take good care of hygiene.

But I believe that Mr. Huck will try his best to complete the task with all his strength that he has never used in his life, and to stimulate his unlimited potential that he has never imagined.

Vito turned his back to Huck and smiled slightly. He turned sideways and looked at Huck who was kneeling on the ground. "I believe you will. If you have any questions, just talk to Anguva. The judges will help you complete it." They use their own methods to persuade uncooperative officials."

Huck was kneeling on the ground with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. His hands were trembling and he raised his head to look at Vito, looking at the majestic giant standing in front of him, "I obey, my lord."

"Very well, stand up now, I think it's our time." Vito was interrupted before he could finish his words, and was interrupted by a sudden piercing alarm. A series of continuous alarms sounded throughout the deck hall, scarlet The lights echoed and flickered on the walls.

Everyone raised their heads and looked up at the red alert above their heads. Vito hesitated to speak, and then gave a helpless smile, "Okay, time is running out."

"Sir Supreme Marshal, according to the fleet's radar detection, a large-scale, fully armed invasion fleet appeared in Terra's outer orbit. According to our avian radar detection, it is not the type of active warship of the empire. , but an ancient ship model that has long been retired. According to the calculation of the sacred war data array, it is 100% possible."

"Black Fleet." Eisenstein said behind Vito. He stood among the imperial guards and said calmly. He, Bell, Trajan and his entourage all looked at Vito. The marshal stood In front of them, he turned to look out the window at the fleet in the harbor that was gathering urgently.

Battleships are igniting their thrusters one after another and rushing out of the starport with long thruster flames. The sound of countless mechanical operations above Vitor's head is rumbling on the other side of the deck. That is the sound of orbital weapons starting up. That is The trumpet of war.

Vito put his hands behind his back and let out a long sigh, then turned to face the three commanders of the Mechanicus, "It seems that I need your help now. Return to your respective posts and deploy the ground troops as soon as possible." On the surface of Terra."

"As you command, Marshal, for the Emperor and the Ohm Messiah." Beta bowed slightly to Vito and walked up to the Archaeopteryx's hatch. Soon the red hatch was closed, and the Archaeopteryx's double-wing jets quickly moved toward Bright flames shot out from below, and under the huge propulsion, the Archaeopteryx immediately took off and flew.

Vito turned around under the airflow of the transport plane, his hair swaying messily under the jet airflow of the propeller. Vito turned around to face the people in front of him, who were also standing on the deck and staring. Looking at the marshal, waiting for orders.

"Hancock and Mr. Harker, return to your own departments immediately. Trajan and Theresa, go and assemble your warriors. Abaddon will not give us any more time to prepare. For the sake of the Emperor ”

"For the Emperor!" After a loud response, everyone turned around and dispersed, leaving only Bell and Eisenstein on the deck. They watched Vito turn around again and look at the dark starry sky outside the deck. Eisenstein walked to Vito silently and stood with him on the dock, staring at the dark night outside.

"Marshal, do you think we can win this war?" Eisenstein asked in a low voice, while Vito smiled and looked at the night sky outside the window and raised his head slightly. His eyes reflected countless sudden flashes, which were the teleportation lights that suddenly lit up one after another in the cosmic background of Terra.

The shining light shone in the night sky like a new group of stars, one after another, until it became a whole sea of ​​stars flashing in the night sky. Bell also walked to Vito and frowned at the countless flashes.

"Emperor, this will be a battle."

"An epic battle, yes Bell, now you can witness a history." Vito smiled and raised his power claw, and he smiled and stretched the claw towards the flashing teleportation starlight.

As Vito said this, while he was looking at the light, Abaddon on the Spirit of Vengeance, which jumped out of the portal, also stood on the bridge and raised his head, staring at Terra and the Imperial warships suspended in its orbit with scarlet eyes and raised his power claws.

Abaddon stared at the golden planet with wide eyes, and the huge power claws were tightly grasped under the planet as if to crush it, "Come on! Vito! Let's see who is the weak one!"

"I! Will kill the false emperor, I! Am the eternal warmaster!" Abaddon roared, and at the same time, outside his window, in countless flashing teleportation lights, one after another, the warships of the Black Legion jumped into the corpse universe. They were like hungry wolves, accompanied by the Spirit of Vengeance and the Warmaster of Destruction on it, and drove towards the planet.

The planet called Terra will once again become a battlefield for demigods after ten thousand years.
