Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Alva Newls opened his eyes. His hazy eyes looked at the light above his head. The light seemed to be blocked by some vague and sticky object. Alva leaned on the airship behind him with empty eyes and powerless. He felt as if his limbs had lost control.

Alva looked around and looked at an Eldar who was also sitting next to him. He leaned on the carriage of the airship. His movements were almost exactly the same as Alva's. He also slumped on the ground with his legs stretched out limply in front of him. But there was only one difference, that is, his head exploded.

This is not a metaphor, but an adjective. The head of the Eldar next to Alva exploded. Only half of his chin was left hanging above his neck on his shattered head. The rest of his body was blown into a blurry blood and flesh paste stuck to the airship behind him. The front wall was full of his brain and soft tissue fragments.

Alva looked around the clearing in the woods. Wisps of smoke rose from the scattered fragments of the airships, the exploded motorcycles, and the various broken parts that flew out. There were also many scattered bodies of the Eldar around them.

Is no one alive? Alva thought to himself and leaned back on the carriage of the airship. His muddled mind could no longer remember what happened. When he tried to recall, there were only fragmented memories and vague impressions in his mind, gunshots, curses and screams.

These memories are meaningless. Alva saw similar scenes every day in Gomor, so he didn't even know whether the memory he saw happened here. In the end, Alva gave up thinking.

He leaned his head against the carriage of the floating car, raised his head and looked up at the sky above his head. The false sun in the webway was hanging high above his head. Alva looked at the sunlight with a blurred and illusory look. His mind gradually became dull and blurred, as if he had fallen into an indistinguishable dream.

So when the woman appeared in front of him, Alva didn't know whether she really existed, but Alva just looked up at the woman in front of him. She was very beautiful. Her silver hair and purple eyes made her breathtakingly beautiful by the standards of the Eldar.

She stood in front of Alva, holding Alva's raised head with both hands. Alva looked into her eyes and looked at this beautiful Eldar woman with a dull expression, "Are you... a goddess?"

"Yes, I am." The goddess said in a beautiful voice, as if it was a soothing lullaby. Alva looked up at her, and his hazy eyes gradually became clear. He gradually saw the face of the goddess in front of him, and her face gradually showed a specific outline from a mosaic-like blur.

"Are you here to save me?" "Maybe." "Will you take me to heaven? Just like the legend, to the Garden of Eden of Isha, I hope you are the goddess of the Ark Eldar, not ours."

Alva coughed as he spoke, and blood sprayed from his mouth. The woman smiled and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with her fingers. She stroked Alva's cheek, and the warmth came from her palm, which made Alva's heart calm and peaceful.

"I am not the blood goddess of the dark Eldar." As she spoke, her face gradually came up. Alva looked at her with a silly smile, as if waiting for a beautiful encounter. In the blurred vision, the face of the goddess was getting closer and closer, and gradually became clearer.

"But I am not the god of the Ark Eldar, but the god of all Eldar, born from... all of you." She held up Alva's head, and her face finally appeared clearly in front of Alva, who looked at her with a silly smile, but gradually Alva's smile changed from happiness to stiffness, from stiffness to shock, and finally to bone-deep fear.

He watched the beautiful goddess in front of him gradually change. She was still beautiful, but she became a kind of beauty that made any Eldar despair. The rosy lips under the purple eyes smiled, the slender and curly tongue spit out from behind her lips, and the curved horns grew out of her forehead.

Alva looked at the wing on one side with eyes full of fear. It was a membrane wing that slowly unfolded, and the crystal-like purple wing bones were attached to it, supporting the wing to slowly open.

Alva turned his eyes away, and he looked at the "goddess" in front of him in horror. The latter held his face, and the corners of her mouth showed a venomous smile, "I will take you to "heaven", to the place where all of you belong."

She smiled and suddenly stabbed her claws into Alva's temple. As the claws stabbed into Alva, Alva screamed, his body shook violently, his hands and legs twitched wildly on the ground, and his whole body swung around desperately in front of the goddess, only his head was tightly grasped by the goddess.

Alshan's eyes, ears, and mouth all emitted pale light. In the primitive fear that invaded the deepest part of his soul, Alva's screams became long and painful, and finally stopped after a struggle. His face, which had turned into a mummy, was released by the claws and he collapsed to the ground.

The goddess stood in front of the dry and drained corpse. She raised the thing in her hand and carefully appreciated the white smoke in her hand with a smile. In the smoke, Alva's screaming face existed in it. He followed the smoke flying around in the palm of his hand, desperately trying to escape, but he could not leave the palm of his hand no matter what.

She happily admired Alva's extremely frightened soul. He could feel himself falling into endless void, could feel the bone-chilling fear, and the ensuing desperate scream made Lilith enjoy it very much.

"Lily, what kind of low-level evil do you have? Torturing people who are dying?" Vito asked, standing aside and raising his eyebrows. Lilith smiled and held up the soul. She tilted her head and admired the screams. face with a cheerful smile.

"The more desperate and fearful the soul is, the more delicious it is. Just like the Dark Eldar will torture others to extract soul essence, they can also be purified in this way."

Lilith said and crushed the soul violently. Alva's scream echoed in the real world for the last time, and then disappeared in the clenched palm, and everything was completely silent.

Vito raised his eyebrows slightly. He watched Lilith raise her head, take a deep breath as if enjoying it, and then exhale the breath again with great joy. She lowered her head and looked at Vito with one hand on her hip. , "It's a pity that the remaining souls are no longer so delicious. They have been dead for too long and their souls have become thin."

Vito looked around at the mess around him. He leaned down to observe an Eldar corpse lying face down on the ground in front of him, "But you will still take their souls away, right? Bring them back to the Demon Realm of Slaanesh to devour." "

"Fly legs are also meat, right? I won't eat them, but they can also be used to water the flowers in the Demonic Garden to make them grow more lush." ​​Lilith walked over happily on tiptoes.

After she took a few steps, her body also changed. After a purple halo flashed, Lilith transformed into the image of Judge Lilith when she went on adventures with Vito. She wore a black corset and leather pants. Showing off her perfect figure vividly and delicately, one end of the cross-body belt hangs on her graceful waist, while the other side rests against her thighs that are stretched extremely tight by tight pants.

Lilith bent down and came close to Vito, looking at the body lying on the ground with him. "He wasn't killed by the Spirit Tribe's own people, right?"

Lilith asked as she looked at the bullet holes on the corpse. Vito nodded slightly. He also observed that there were huge holes in the back of the Eldar. The flesh and blood in it had been burnt, and the entire hole was full of holes. Traces of scorch.

With his rich experience, Vito could immediately tell that the wound was not caused by the Eldar tearing gun. If it were caused by the tearing gun, the entire wound would be in a state of decay, and the flesh and blood would be slowly destroyed bit by bit in the strong acid. Devour, causing the person struck to die in agony after a long period of torture, very much in line with the Dark Eldar style.

But this wound is not the case. Its penetrating wound is very clean. There is no unnecessary pain in killing him with one shot. Vito gestured the size of the wound with his fingers wearing power armor, but then he discovered that the fingers of the power armor were It is too thick and cannot be used to estimate the width of bullet holes at all.

Vito sighed, then he turned his head and looked at a small display window on his neck. As Vito's fingers clicked inside the power armor, soon the chest of the golden armor he was wearing moved toward the two sides. It slid sideways and contracted, then quickly pushed out and popped out.

An exit was opened in the chest part of the golden power armor, and the armor on the torso was also neatly opened outwards. The armor that opened and closed was like a neat double door, with a pair of symmetrical wings spread out on both sides. .

Vito pulled his legs out of the armor and was at the edge of the operating cabin. After pulling his arms out of the soft openings in the huge shoulder armor, he jumped down. Vito landed in front of the huge power armor, and stretched out After stretching his limbs, he squatted down in front of the Eldar corpse and measured the radius of the wound with his fingers.

Beside him, Lilith put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoes, and poked her head out to look inside the opened power armor, "Wow, your power armor is quite convenient to wear."

"It was modified by the craftsmen of the Golden Tower. It seems that it was modified according to the wearing mode of Thor's power armor. The old bastard should have asked them to modify it this way. He knew that compared to the extremely troublesome wearing method of the Space Marines, I I still prefer the autonomous wear mode of Thor Power Armor.”

"Indeed, this is indeed much more convenient." Lilith poked her head out from the edge of the armor, and she looked at the operating cabin space.

Rather than saying that this is a piece of power armor, it is better to say that this has been changed into some kind of individual mecha, a smaller but more technologically concentrated small power armor. It is no longer like a space warrior. , it also needs to wear its own body to bear its weight and movement, but is completely driven by the support structure of the armor itself, the motion energy motor, and the exoskeleton transmission device to move forward.

Lilith clasped her hands behind her back and looked around at the dim interior space structure. "Well, let's take a look. There are soft cushions, human adaptive sponges, cushioning layers, and even a constant temperature air conditioner? It seems like there are a lot more inside. It seems like your brother has thought a lot about the comfort design for you.”

"Maybe, at least after ten thousand years, he finally understood the practicality of weapons, not only in terms of power, but also in terms of whether the user can use it smoothly and comfortably." Vito said, looking at the Eldar corpses on the ground. He gently turned it over and looked at the face that was bruised and swollen after hitting the ground.

But the ruined appearance was no longer important to this Eldar. He was completely dead from the front of his godless pale eyes, and there was a high chance that he wouldn't suddenly jump up to surprise Vito.

"Then can anyone run around wearing your power armor? I just want to go in and try it. I have always been curious about what the Emperor's armor feels like."

Lilith said that she had already begun to climb in, but as soon as she stepped on the edge of the cockpit, Vito grabbed her ankle with a backhand and pulled her down, "No, you will be wearing it for a while, and it will be full of charm." The smell of demons, I don’t know how to explain it to Guilliman when I return to Terra.”

"You guys are so boring, but okay." Lilith said and jumped down. She moved her arms and looked around at the Dark Eldar corpses. Vito, squatting in front of him, jumped from the Dark Eldar corpses. He took out a badge from his arms, which was a unique badge imprint.

Vito looked at the medal in his hand. It looked like it was specially made. He raised his head and glanced at the body of the Eldar sitting on the paralyzed float on the side. His chest was shot several times by some kind of firearm. holes, and the floating car behind him was also punched with several bullet holes.

Vito noticed that the Eldar also wore an identical medal on his jacket. He raised the medal consisting of three scimitars, and Vito compared it with the symbol on the aerial vehicle. Almost exactly the same.

"These Eldar are members of a plundering gang. It seems that they were ambushed when they came to this planet to resupply and rest after plundering somewhere." Vito said and put down the medal in his hand. While receiving the medal, he noticed Magnus on the other side of the aerostat.

He was investigating alone at the edge of the ambush scene, looking lonely and silent. Vito watched as he walked to the side of a sunken Eldar raider ship, with countless bullet holes in the hull. A corpse lay scattered inside and outside the ship.

Vito squatted on the ground, put one hand on his knee and looked at Magnus walking beside the ship. Lilith, who was beside him, crossed her arms and slightly tilted her head to look at Vito, "How on earth are you getting together?" Are you coming to this hellish place? If loyalists and traitors act together, you won't be afraid of being regarded as a heretic."

"I am the boss of the Tribunal, who says I am a heretic?" Vito stood up with a smile, and Lilith stood beside him with her hands in her arms, looking at him jokingly, and then glanced at Mage in the distance. Noos.

"Why don't you kill him? I can help you. We will kill him together, and then I will take you to the Demon Realm of Slaanesh, so you don't have to worry about how much trouble Magnus will cause if he is controlled later. "Lilith said and waved her hand out of thin air, and a silver magic blade suddenly appeared in her palm.

But Vito held down Lilith's hand just after she grasped the curved blade. He looked at Magnus and shook his head gently, "No, there's no need. He will be resurrected in the subspace anyway. You can't really kill the Daemon Primarch by killing him in the Webway."

"At least the half of his soul can be severely disabled. Even if Tzeentch resurrects him later, he will be seriously injured and his brain may not be too normal, just like Angron." Lilith said using The back of the magic blade gently hit his head, while Vito smiled and shook his head slightly.

"No, on the contrary, I need a normal Magnus who can think as well as he does now. It's okay to go to a little trouble for this." Vito said, letting go of Lilith's hand and walking aside. Alva fell backwards. In the direction of the float vehicle, the huge armored vehicle fell to the ground, and the whole thing tilted and collapsed there.

Lilith was holding the magic blade and looking at Vito's back. She put her weight on the other leg and stood leaning behind Vito. "You want to bring him back to the empire? Persuade him to behave? Vito?" This is impossible, let me not say whether you can convince him, so what if you do? Half of his soul is still with Tzeentch, and he can control Magnus's will at any time."

"And the other half of his soul is locked by Tzeentch somewhere deep in the ever-changing labyrinth. No one can enter from there and come out with something."

"Then why don't you go test and see how much of the remaining half of Magnus's soul is left? Maybe I can use that to make some fuss." Vito said and walked to the float car. He stood on the head In front of the exploded Eldar corpse, he looked up at the huge explosion gap on the side of the floating car body.

The edges of the entire explosion gap melted, and molten iron remained from the armor fragments, and then solidified in mid-air, turning into unique protruding water marks. Vito looked at the gap, and always felt that it felt familiar. He should be able to recognize it at a glance, but there was a feeling warning him that it was impossible.

Lilith stood behind Vito. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Vito in front of her, "Really? Are you serious?" "Maybe, maybe not, but at least I can find you something to do, right? That way you can You can stop using my power armor."

Lilith glanced at the open power armor squatting on the ground next to her. She turned her head and smiled, then waved her fingers and walked towards Magnus. Vito looked at Lilith walking away with his peripheral vision, " Don't irritate him with dirty talk."

"I'll try my best." Lilith said, waving her finger and walking towards Magnus. Vito smiled and then turned his head and continued to look at the gap in front of him. He held his chin and looked at the gap in front of him thoughtfully. Notch part.

The gap looked very familiar, and Vito felt that he must recognize it. In fact, he had already made a guess in his mind, but Vito simply didn't want to believe it.

"Melta cannon? In the webway? How is that possible?" Vito said contemptuously, tilting his head to the side, waving his hands and saying easily, and then, he was slapped in the face.

Lilith, who was walking behind Vito, was carrying the magic blade, but suddenly Lilith noticed something. She suddenly stopped and immediately turned her head to look at the forest beside her, and a roaring fire came. The stream shot out from the forest and shot straight towards Lilith.

Lilith immediately raised her hand to summon a shield, and the flashing spiritual shield suddenly rose from in front of Lilith. The flashing purple shield instantly blocked the flying fire flow, and the molten body suddenly The bullet hit the shield, and then quickly exploded and swept across the entire shield.

The jet of high-temperature hot molten magma blocked Lilith's vision. She looked at the fire shield in front of her, but just as she was about to do something, a dense barrage shot from the other side. The light bullets rushed towards Lilith like raindrops. If she hadn't raised the second shield in time, she would have been beaten into a hornet's nest.

Vito suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Lilith. His eyes widened in surprise. Behind the shield, Lilith held up the psychic shield to block all the roaring artillery fire, dense light bombs and hot melt. Explosions continued to flicker around Lilith, and the artillery fire fired from the forest effectively formed a fire net, successfully suppressing Lilith temporarily.

Whenever Lilith planned to pull away and launch a counterattack, another attack would come from the other direction. The continuous barrage completely trapped Lilith in the storm of artillery fire.

Lilith raised her hands in front of her face. She looked up at the rumbling shield that was being beaten continuously, with countless flames and flashes flying around. She squinted slightly and saw the shooters on the other end of the shield. They were in the flames. A vague figure appeared at the edge of the forest and walked out of it holding a gun.

Vito also saw the attackers. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the soldiers who walked out of the forest in an orderly manner. They held their guns and fired continuously and violently while advancing with strong coordination. Everyone was in step. In unison, the weapons in their hands also fired with amazing synergy.

Their firepower continuously formed a dense fire net. Whether someone in the military formation had run out of ammunition and needed to change it, or a weapon malfunction needed to be adjusted, as long as a shooter's position became vacant, he would immediately shoot back. If a soldier withdraws from the line, a new soldier will immediately take his place and continue to fire.

A group of soldiers walking out from the edge of the forest formed a slender blue line. They lined up in a row and opened fire in unison. The fierce firepower made Lilith unable to leave her position to launch a counterattack, which obviously made Lilith very nervous. Displeased, she bared her teeth like an irritated cat.

Vito looked at the thin blue line. The reason why it was called the blue line was because the power armor of those soldiers were all blue. They were wearing light armor and heavy armor, and they were carrying melta cannons. The soldiers moved forward in a thin line, and Vito watched them carefully.

Those powered armors look a lot like stormtroopers, but they are more advanced and ancient than stormtroopers. The blue armor looks hard but is extremely light. It is not hindered by it at all, even if it is wearing full body armor. But he still walks as fast as flying, and his movements are smooth and natural.

Although the armor has some paint peeling due to traces of time, and there are also dots of gray-white spots on the surface of the blue armor, it can still be seen that the advanced manufacturing process is almost the same as the material look and feel of Space Marine armor. Exactly the same.

And this is not just an adjective. The biggest thing about these mysterious soldiers and stormtroopers is that each of them wears an individual tactical display helmet. In the Empire, this is a fully enclosed individual soldier bulletproof smart helmet. It will only be allocated to Space Marines for use. The reason is that it is expensive and the technology used is already available in only a few factories in the Empire.

They are either the arsenal of the Space Marine home planet, or they are one of the few forged worlds dedicated to providing armaments for ship-based battle groups, but almost everyone has one of these soldiers, and their helmets are connected to two black foldable hoses. , seems to be suitable for filtering harmful gases and circulating devices of life-support equipment.

Vito looked at them carefully. There was also a huge pauldron part on the shoulder of their armor, which made them look like a small Space Marine from all angles, etc. Mortal model. Space Marine-like. Power armor?

Something suddenly occurred to Vito's mind. When he raised his head to look at the soldiers again, the model of the power armor flashed in his mind. The void-class individual power armor was only issued to the most elite mortals in the past. Auxiliary Army.

"Magnus! Stop and let me take care of it!" Vito immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of Magnus and shouted loudly. Magnus, who was rushing from a distance, stopped in surprise and looked towards in Vito's direction.

Vito swung his arms and rushed towards the direction of the power armor at an extremely fast speed. He jumped up and stepped on the edge of the cockpit, and then suddenly fell into the cockpit of the torso. Vito His hands immediately penetrated the power armor shoulder armor on both sides, and then the palms that penetrated into the power armor's arms suddenly lifted forward and pushed, and the activation lever quickly and continuously acted on the whole body.

The opened part of the power armor quickly slid inward and closed, and the wearing and locking was completed in a very short time. Vito immediately stood up wearing the heavy power armor and strode towards Lilith.

The heavy power armor boots stepped on the ground, and Vito knocked away the broken floating car in front of him. He looked at the angry purple light in his eyes, and the succubus wings behind him were torn from the back of the transformed Eldar dress. Lilith shouted, "Lily! Don't fight back, I'll handle it!"

Lilith looked at Vito with great surprise as he rushed past. He rushed straight in front of Lilith, "Vito! What's wrong with you?!"

"Believe me." Vito said, striding towards the direction of the barrage of artillery fire that continuously bombarded Lilith's shield. Vito stood tall in the center of the narrow fire net woven by countless artillery fires, with almost everything on both sides of him. It was a barrage fired at him. The firepower hit Vito's body, and the power armor jingled under the bombardment of the artillery fire.

His hair was flying messily in the heat wave. Vito turned his back and burst into flames one after another. He stood in the firelight like a black shadow on the sun, one of the blue-armored soldiers who were firing fiercely in front. A guy who looked like an army officer saw Vito.

He obviously couldn't see Vito's face clearly. He was holding the firelight behind him, and his entire face and front body were in the darkness of the backlight. The officer raised his arms and waved violently at the soldiers on both sides, and they all turned their guns. Aim at Vito and prepare to fire.

But at the moment when the officer's finger pulled the trigger, Vito raised his hands suddenly. Suddenly, with Vito's hand raised, an invisible force rushed towards the officers and soldiers in front. The gun was all ripped out of his hand by the upward force.

The officer looked at the gun flying above his head. He pulled out the pistol from his waist with almost no hesitation. The pistol branded with a golden sky eagle pointed at Vito, who was standing in front of the shield, with his back to the fire and his front in darkness. .

Suddenly, the officer saw a pair of golden eyes lighting up in the darkness, and golden lightning jumped out from the eyes. Almost at the same time, Vito waved his arm fiercely, and all the fire on the shield behind him was invisible. The power was attracted, and the flames and flashes of the melt and blaster were all drawn away from Lilith.

Lilith behind the shield looked up at the group of fires spinning like a firestorm above her head. Vito waved his arms to make the fires spin above his head. The officer raised his pistol and looked up at the firestorm and the tactics. The eyes under the long curved glass of the helmet widened in disbelief.

Vito suddenly spread his hands around, and the fire above his head immediately spread to the surroundings. The flames formed a huge Imperial Sky Eagle logo behind Vito, and the flames were burning with raging fire. The sky eagle rose from the sky, and the light of fire instantly lit up Vito's face.

His face appeared in front of the officer. The man put down the pistol in his hand and immediately grabbed the corner of the helmet with one hand and took it off his head. The black hoses connected to both sides of the helmet hit the shoulders on both sides. On the armor, he turned the helmet over his head, revealing his gray hair and slightly older face.

But even though he has aged, Vito still recognizes that face, and the other party obviously recognizes it. Vito looked at the person in front of him with an incredible expression, "Marshal?!"

"Hello, Peter, how long have we not seen each other? Ten thousand years?" The flaming eagle above Vito's head gradually dissipated. Under the dissipating fire, Lilith walked up and stood in front of Vito with her sword in hand. Looking at the officer opposite.

"Who is this guy? Can I kill him?" Lilith asked bluntly. She was obviously very unhappy because she was attacked by a sneak attack, but Vito laughed.

"No, I'm sorry, dear, I have to spoil your fun. You can't kill them because they are all my old subordinates, real old subordinates."

"You may have forgotten them, so let me introduce to you. This is Colonel Peter, the commander of the Solar Auxiliary Forces of the Emperor's Dream, and the soldiers behind him, the Solar Auxiliary Forces on my flagship and Crew, my old friends."

A sincere smile appeared on Vito's face, the smile of joy at being reunited with his friends after ten thousand years.
