Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Dark green fog lingers in every corner of this world, turbid and heavy, just like the ocean world of the empire, the entire planet is an endless vast ocean, but here it is a sea of ​​fog composed of fog.

The shadows of the towering lonely mountains stand behind the turbid fog, like silent giants standing on the earth. They are scattered on this planet, looking up at the starless night sky blocked by the thick atmosphere.

Endless forests and barren fields exist at the foot of the mountains. The dense tree crowns are intertwined with the barren dark green desert. In this world without the sun, the mountains and the earth have become a morbid picture. The whole world seems to be terminally ill. It is sick all over and has long been on the verge of dying.

In the eyes of the Empire, such a world is a complete death world, a place where only madmen would venture to eat people without leaving any bones. There are many such death worlds in the Milky Way, with poisonous fog, active volcanoes, or death lands that are always shrouded by deadly radiation and celestial operations.

Such worlds are not uncommon in the Empire. Most of them are uninhabited no-man's land, or there are only one or two lonely observation posts, guarded by dozens or hundreds of star soldiers. They are far away from the edge of civilization, watching alone at the border of the dark stars.

However, such worlds are common in the Empire, but they are not normal in the Webway, because there are no naturally formed celestial bodies in the Webway. All the planets here are artificial, created by those powerful ancient saints who have disappeared in ancient times, and they are often covered with a large number of life.

The Eldar and human scholars of later generations believed that those planets were reservations created by the Old Saints to preserve the seeds of life that were hated and destroyed by the Necrons and their masters, the Star Gods, in the tragic battle of heaven, and to preserve them in the webway that the Star Gods and the Necrons could not reach. When the war was extinguished and the universe returned to peace, the Old Saints would spread the seeds of life preserved here back to the Milky Way.

So most of the planets in these webways are vibrant garden worlds, on which the Old Saints carefully cultivated and created their own unique shelters for each civilization, but obviously, this planet is completely the opposite of this.

This is a pure land of death, which has nothing to do with the word life. Even if there is, then the vitality here has died, leaving only a terminally ill body and a sick corpse.

During the Great Fall, the power of the Four Gods poured into these worlds in the cracks of the Webway torn by Slaanesh. They transformed and corrupted these former life shelters according to their own will, turning them into projections of the will of the evil god himself. No matter how beautiful these worlds were in the past, it is only a distant story. Now, only lamentation and sorrow remain here, just like their former masters, the Eldar who inherited the mantle of the Old Saints and went to extinction.

It is hard to believe that there will be anyone returning to this dead planet and coming to this dying star without the sun, but there are always exceptions, and this is also the case here.

A beating light flashed in the turbid atmosphere, and the flash emerged from the depths of the fog, just like a fish swimming to the surface from the deep sea. The light quickly reached the edge of the heavy fog that permeated the sky, and after the light instantly strengthened, it suddenly emerged from it.

It was a black shuttle, a slender, obsidian-like smooth spaceship. The biggest difference between it and common shuttles was that it was not propelled by flames, but by the flashing spheres suspended in the circular rings on the inside of the wings on both sides of the fuselage.

The spheres rotated rapidly on the inside of the wings, releasing dazzling white light, which shone in the air like a fragment of the extinguished sun outside the dying planet.

The shuttle flew down from the clouds quickly, circling a towering bare mountain peak swiftly, sliding to one side and sliding down at the same time. The entire fuselage lifted the fog on both sides steadily and smoothly, and flew towards the forest at the foot of the mountain.

In this strange world composed of strange plants, the plants that bent like tentacles attached to the trees that looked like cuticle structures, bending and moving their slender bodies, as if they were trying to grab something in the fog.

Suddenly, the calm tentacles began to twitch, and they tilted to one side with a gust of wind. The smoke around them also began to rapidly disturb, spreading rapidly around to make room for the slender black spaceship that fell from the sky.

The flat shuttle, which was as smooth as a black diamond, roared down from the sky to the ground. The anti-gravity generating spheres on both sides of it suspended in the center of the ring created a strong recoil force under it, causing it to slowly land. In the diffuse smoke, it fell to the ground like a drop of water that smoothly merged into the sea.

The landing gear of the shuttle was placed on the ground full of strange plants. As the landing gear made a crisp echo, the single-sided spherical cockpit glass without any reflection was slowly lifted. In the dim cockpit below, a figure stood up from it and then jumped out of the cockpit.

The spaceship behind him emitted a hazy light, shining on him. In the rings on both sides of the high-speed rotating anti-gravity sphere beside him, the flickering white lights illuminated Victor's face. He stood there Under the light, he looked around at the silent woodland.

He stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the side of the shuttle's hull. With his fingers, the entire shuttle quickly came to a halt. The rotating anti-gravity sphere began to fall silent, and the flickering light gradually dimmed. In the mist that spread up, it was gradually swallowed up below.

Victor didn't pay attention to the strange smoke. He stood up and walked forward. There was neither hesitation nor ignorance in his eyes. He knew where he was going, and he came here for a purpose.

Silent woodland on both sides passed by Victor's side, thick smoke filled the air, covering everything a few steps away. Everything there was completely covered under the veil-like smoke, and only other parts could be seen. There are swaying shadows all around, which look like human beings, but are not human swaying shadows.

They are swaying around, as if there are indeed some people hiding around. They are hiding behind the clouds and mist, following you and staring at your back with pairs of empty eyes, making people involuntarily feel the feeling behind them. A chill ran down my back.

Ethereal and strange sounds come from a distant place. Sometimes they are far away in the horizon, and sometimes they seem to be within earshot. You will feel as if something is following behind you, and there are waves of disturbing footsteps coming from the forest. .

It was the sound of branches breaking, and the sound of objects passing through the bushes. Victor used his peripheral vision to look at the source of the sound. His feet indeed crushed dead leaves and branches, and the sound echoed in the smoke. It seemed that it was transmitted back, but Victor knew that the sound was not caused by himself.

He saw shadows in the smoke, a shadow moving across the ground, more than one, surrounding the surrounding trees, and behind the shadows came an unsettling commotion.

It was the sound of claws and teeth, a low roar disguised as a distant ethereal echo. Those creatures were moving forward with him, observing him, and looking for opportunities to attack.

Victor walked calmly, as if they were completely insignificant and meaningless, through the woodland, stepping between the thick vines between the trees, through the visible ditches between the woodlands, and over the patches of cloth. He walked for a long time on the strange rocky beach full of holes. It seemed that time was meaningless here. In this dim world, everything seemed to be eternal.

This may be a good thing, which made it easy for Victor to find this place. He walked out of the edge of the smoky forest, walked through the smoke and walked onto this strange rocky forest glade. He looked around Looking at the tall boulders around them, they leaned together, as if forming a strange association position.

Victor listened to the commotion of Sasha behind him. Those things were still following behind him. They were walking on the edge of the boulder, circling around and getting closer. The scratching sound of their claws on the rocky ground of Stonehenge, getting closer and closer. Victor's back was getting closer and closer, and he could almost feel the cold breath.

Amidst the scratching sound of the claws, Victor slowly raised his hand and pressed the holster on his waist little by little. His back was facing the approaching shadow, and his palms were ready.

The tearing gun was slowly pulled out of the holster, and the scratching sound approaching from behind gradually got closer and closer, almost mixed together. Victor frowned slightly, and put his finger on the trigger, ready to let the The light background sounds turned into manic singing.

But just when the music was about to start, a burst of thunder shattered the thin curtain of the movement, followed by a golden lightning blast into the stage. Victor's face was illuminated by the golden light, and he raised his head. Come and look at the countless lightnings that suddenly light up above your head. The golden flash penetrates the thick fog and shoots to the earth from under the sky.

One of the lightning strikes behind Victor, and the burst of lightning instantly illuminated the surrounding forest, and also illuminated the faces of the ferocious beasts hiding behind the thick fog. They raised their heavy heads, With his brows, pupils and eyeballs, he looked up at the lightning that lit up the night sky.

Thunder sounded again, and the sound was like a warning, the warning sound of hunters beating steel in the forest. The ferocious beasts turned and fled, jumping quickly into the deepest part of the forest amid the lightning that kept lighting up behind them, and fled. The scope of that light's illumination.

Victor turned his head and glanced at the frightened beast behind him with his peripheral vision. It arched its body and slowly backed away, with fear showing in its grinning mouth. After the lightning flashed once, it completely collapsed and turned around to flutter. Escaped into the end of the forest.

The lightning instantly illuminated Victor's side. He slowly turned his head to look at the huge stone tablet standing in the center of the stone formation. He looked up and stood on it. Lightning kept falling behind him, and the outline of his body was illuminated amidst the thunder. And the person with the face.

"Should we meet somewhere else next time, such as Gemo's nightclub?"
