Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 400: Expedition Road: Legacy of the Ancient Saints

The huge astral dragon ship was moored next to the Emperor's Wrath. The ship, which was like a huge sailing ship sailing on the star sea, slightly retracted the broad wings spread out on the belly of the ship on both sides, which were like wings. The same feathers of light folded underneath, sparkling beneath the long bridge of floating energy.

Vito looked down at the translucent energy bridge under his feet. It was a long bridge made entirely of light, with light filaments rolling like a stream flowing in it. The light outlined the outline of the physical light bridge, all the way to the bridge. At the end, the launch port stretched out, allowing Vito and his team to walk on it.

Next to Vito, Speyer chose to look up at the huge silver ship that was approaching in front of him. He raised his head very high in an attempt to see the huge ship that seemed to be at the end of the world. The top, but he could see nothing there, only a towering silver wall dotted with shimmering screens of light.

This large ship is extremely smooth as a whole, just like a water droplet seeping out of the ship, floating freely in the vacuum environment of the galaxy, relying on some special power to maintain its own stability, in this cold void Sail on.

Spier lowered his head again, and he looked around at the unobstructed starry sky on both sides. There were no walls or isolation equipment on both sides of the light bridge. It was almost connected to the starry sky, as if you could touch it as long as you stretched out your hand. That icy galaxy.

But this does not pose any threat of suffocation. On this bridge, you can still breathe and think normally without worrying about being sucked into the cold void and suffocating to death.

"Every time I board an Eldar ship, I feel like I'm dreaming, Marshal." "You'd better call me Vito. Others are fine, but calling me Marshal always makes me feel weird. Will."

Vito was wearing a golden power armor and walked beside Spier. He also raised his eyes and looked around at the brilliant starry sky on both sides. It seemed that in order to allow the dragon ship to get closer, the Eldar used a gravity generator to All the wreckage of the battleship was pushed away so that their ship could fly in without being filled with holes.

"But it is true that the ship construction craftsmanship of the Eldar is as amazing as it was in the Golden Age, at least that of the Ark Eldar." Vito said, looking at the white wall at the end of the bridge in front of him, with looming shadows on the wall. The shining pattern is like a piece of art.

"This is not the first time we have boarded the Eldar ship. Stop pretending to be literary. You and the word "literary" have nothing to do with each other." Lilith, who was walking next to Vito, crossed her hands behind her head. As he walked as if he were resting his head on his head, he blurted out the words without any concealment.

"I'm not going to recite riddles like that old fool every day. Really, you know? One time when we walked out of the hill, he looked at the plain below and suddenly raised his hands and looked at the sky solemnly. He said to me "The blood-red sun is rising from the earth" and I just want to say, wouldn't you just say that the knights are dead in front of us? "

In order to imitate the emperor, Vito raised his armored arm and pulled it horizontally in front of him. Then he stuck out his tongue in disgust, "Gan, this action is still so stupid. I don't know why he is used to this. Crazy behavior."

"Maybe because he is a magic stick? You know, if a group of magic sticks and shamans come together, wouldn't they become a super magic stick?" Lilith twirled her fingers and joked with a smile. Vito beside her Then he chuckled, raising his head slightly with a smile on his face.

"That seems to be the case, but speaking of which, are you familiar with this girl?" Vito said, lowering his head and looking at Lilith, who was wearing a more close-fitting leather jacket and trousers that covered her petite figure. Shatina, she walked beside Lilith without saying anything since a long time ago, like a delicate porcelain doll.

"What, you're not with her?" Vito lowered his waist with a mysterious look on his face, and came close to Lilith and whispered in a low voice. The latter suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on his chest bent under the power armor, and gently Push it away.

Lilith waved her hand with a look of disdain, "No, this girl is fine. I promised not to touch her, didn't I? In fact, I did exactly that."

"Then how come she is so familiar with you? When did you become a caring big sister?" "What do you mean, I'm still a bad sister?" "Aren't you?"

Lilith smiled sweetly and touched Shatina's red hair with her fingers, "No, this girl doesn't like me, but I am the only one on the ship who knows what she needs as an Eldar girl. What are you thinking about and how to communicate with her? She also understands the Eldar language, so she has no choice, right?"

"That's true, but you can go home soon, little girl. This is Yiyangden's ship. You can return to your people right away." Vito smiled and looked at Shatina below, and then The reporter turned his head politely and nodded to Vito.

"Thank you, sir." "Don't come." Vito said, waving his hands. He still seemed to dislike these polite words. Speyer looked up at Vito on the side, and then lowered his head again. The admiral looked at Lilith next to him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Judge Lilith, right? You are still..." "So beautiful?" Before Spier could finish speaking, Lilith directly interjected and complimented herself, and then cooperated with her hands on her white skin, He touched his well-proportioned face, slid his fingers all the way to his lips, and blew a kiss to Spier.

That blowing kiss was the blowing kiss of the Succubus Queen, which contained an irresistible magic power. Most of the time, it could fascinate any mortal. Even the Space Marines would react to some extent. No matter how steely they were, they would be affected by it, but But Spier did not. He was not affected at all and still stared at Lilith with squinted eyes.

"It's true that you haven't changed at all, just like I remember, but I remember that the last time we met was six hundred years ago during the Gothic War. I was just a young captain at the time, and I looked about the same age as you. But after so long, I have grown old, but you are still so young.”

"Maybe I'm taking good care of myself?" Lilith smiled charmingly, tilting her head slightly and smiling at Spier, but the latter frowned and looked at the young woman in front of him.

"Or maybe there are other reasons." Spier said, and the smile on Vito's face gradually disappeared. He glanced at Lilith beside him, who smiled and shrugged, and then Vito turned his head and glanced at Spier before striding towards the end of the bridge and under the wall.

"Let's put aside the issue of how to stay young forever. We have more important things to do, don't we? It's important to ensure that the entire sector will not be annihilated."

Spier turned his head and his eyes followed Vito who was walking in front. The admiral glanced at Lilith again, who also gave him a bright smile before striding to follow him.

Lilith looked at Spier who was walking forward, and then slightly tilted her head towards Reina and the others behind her to indicate that they should follow her. Then she quickened her pace and followed him with her hands behind her back, "Come on, little girl, we will take you back." Home."

Shatina followed Lilith as she walked beside her, and then followed her silently. She followed Lilith to the back of Vito and Speyer. When the two reached the end of the bridge, When he was standing in front of the tall silver wall, the seemingly completely smooth and sealed wall suddenly opened a crack.

The gap quickly appeared from the center of the wall, and then spread out around like petals, instantly closing the silver wall and completely submerging it into the surrounding walls. At the edge of the wall, there was not even a gap. It's as if the gate melts directly into it.

Vito stared at the surrounding walls, then smiled slightly and walked through the towering giant door. He stepped into the field behind the door, which was a garden, a silent garden under the night.

The golden power armor boots stepped on the rocky ground in the garden. The tall and armored Vito looked around at the surrounding environment. Around the central rocky ground under his feet, there were a large number of silver trees and flowers planted. , they are all strange and beautiful, emitting silvery white light swaying in the darkness.

Vito looked at the flowers, and Speyer followed behind him. He stood next to the tall golden giant and looked at the silver plants around him. The silver light curtain they released was like a curtain of night. Like lights, it illuminates and bathes the surrounding ground and the endless sea of ​​grass around it.

Under the dim night sky, silver light was projected from the flowers, and the light splashed on the endless grassland around them, making the swaying grass and trees sway under the bath of its light.

Everyone behind Vito walked into this unique space inside the ship. Reina and Peter were looking around. It was their first time to board the longship of the Ark Eldar Tribe. Everything around them was extremely novel to their eyes. Looking around curiously, although Reina might be admiring the beauty here, Peter was more thinking about where to start blasting through the walls of the ship.

"Vito." A voice suddenly sounded from the side, and everyone immediately turned their heads to follow the sound, including Vito. He looked at the source of the voice, which came from a high step platform rising on the grass in front. Yes, a man is stepping down from it.

He walked out from between the stone pillars at the top of the steps and walked down the steps step by step. The man was wearing an Eldar blue elegant men's robe, with a high collar raised behind his head. , and a silver cloth belt is tied around the waist of the elegant wide robe, which binds the robe around his waist, making it look extremely slim.

Vito looked at him and laughed, staring at the handsome Eldar with short black hair, "Iriol, you pirate bastard, since you are still alive?"

"Like you, my friend, I heard that you have revealed your identity to the world, and it seems so." Iyanden, and even the most famous and prestigious naval and pirate lord in the entire Ark Eldar clan walked up the stairs. He walked down slowly, the slender blade hanging by his side swaying from side to side with the pace.

The tall Irio put his hand on his chest and gave Vito an elegant Ark Eldar etiquette. The latter smiled and nodded in response, "Yes, this can save me a lot of trouble, so I can You don’t have to convince other people one by one in the future, just show your identity, which can save a lot of trouble. "

"Indeed, my friend, and I think you have used your status to convince Chapter Master Tiberos not to bring his entire company of man-eating sharks aboard my ship. In fact, he did not even Come."

Irio walked to the ground under the steps, and Vito looked at him with a smile. He looked at his old Eldar friend with one hand on his hip, "It sounds like you didn't have a pleasant meeting last time?"

"There was a conflict between the leader of Tiberos and Irio. It was a firefight to be precise. Two shark warriors died that time, and three of Irio also died." The person who answered Vito was Spier. , he stood aside and raised his hands and waved his arms gently forward and said, Vito had a mocking smile on his face and looked at the admiral beside him.

"So when Tiberos left with his people, you said it was a good thing?" "That's it, the man-eating sharks are not very willing to cooperate with Iriol's Ark Eldar, although we are now allies. No, the ancient hatred of aliens prevents them from changing their minds."

Vito smiled and shrugged, and the huge power armor rose and fell with his shoulders. "At least they will be happy to fight other aliens, so let them keep their status quo. After all, they are not the same as the greenskins and the undead." , even when the Tau are fighting, it’s best if they don’t need to think too much.”

"And you? Iriol? Why did you bring your Ark guys here? Because Efreni and Eldarad formed an alliance with the Empire on behalf of the Eldar? Speaking of which, how are they doing now? ?”

Vito turned his head and asked several questions in succession, but Iriol was obviously willing to bear down and answer him. This was rare. Can the Eldar be patient? Or for a human being? I think this is enough to show how strong their relationship is.

"They have been busy looking for the Sword of the Old Woman recently. I heard that they have found some clues, but the Death Army is not the purpose of our coming here."

"what is that?"

"I think it would be better for her to answer this question for you." Iriou said and turned around. He turned sideways and gestured in the direction behind him. Vito raised his head and looked upward. He saw Another person came down the steps above it, a beautiful Eldar woman.

She wore a fiery red prophet's robe, which danced with the breeze blowing through the grass. The swaying skirt fluttered like a flying fire, and on her shoulders, the beautifully painted fire The phoenix also placed its slender wings against the robe, seeming to be waving its wings as the robe swayed.

The high bifurcation on one side of the robe prevented her walking from being hindered by the bulky robe, but it also exposed her pair of slender white legs in the swaying wind. As the breeze blew by, the hem of the skirt Raising his head, Vito saw a rose tattoo exposed at the root of his thigh. It was not an Eldar tattoo style, but a human tattoo.

He looked up at the woman's face, staring at the face covered by the wind under the tall ponytail, looking at the fiery red eyes with a surprised smile, "Yyanna?"

"Vito? Why are you here, you old bastard?" Iyanden's young Phoenix Prophet spoke in standard Gothic with the same accent as Vito. The words heard by the clan weirdo surprised everyone present.

"Because I want to lead everyone to save the world again? At least the star region of Cadia?" Vito said with a smile on his face as he looked at Yiyanna who was walking down. The latter rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly. tone.

"Okay, we're done." "Thank you for the compliment." Vito held the fists of the power armor on his chest, looking at Yiyanna who came down with a happy smile, her tall legs stepped on the ground On the top, the prophet's scepter in his hand also floated gently by his side with a push of his finger.

Yiyanna looked at Vito in front of her, looked him up and down with a strange expression, to be precise, it was a look of disgust, "Why are you dressed like a tin can? Where did you find this clown suit?" ”

"This is the Emperor's own power armor. It can no longer be copied. It's too expensive." Vito patted the armor on his chest and raised one hand to wave it proudly in the air, but Iyana in front of him was Looking at him with disdain, he stood with one hand on his hip.

"Okay, correct me, an expensive clown costume."

"Marshal! Who is this man? He is bragging and slandering your authority and the majesty of the emperor here?!" Peter behind Vito said angrily. He strode up with a gun and raised his finger at Vito. Yiyanna said loudly in front of the steps, and the latter looked at him without blinking.

Reina, who was behind Peter in annoyance, slightly raised her eyebrows. Looking at the contemptuous, teasing, sneering and playful smile on Yiyana's face, she felt that she had seen it somewhere, and she had seen it more than once. But I just can't remember where I saw it, but it doesn't matter, because Vito will reveal the mystery right away.

Vito, who was wearing the Emperor's armor, turned around with a smile and raised his hand to signal Peter to stop. He smiled and glanced at Yiyanna who was standing with her arms akimbo behind him. "It's okay. How should I put it? She is probably mine." daughter?"

"What?!" Peter couldn't hold his breath for a moment, and the angry rebuke he was about to blurt out turned into that simple sentence. The anger that was extinguished in an instant made him almost lose his breath, and he coughed repeatedly.

Vito looked at him with a wry smile, and then raised his head to see Reina with an indifferent expression. She looked at herself and shook her head with a sigh. Now Reina knew where she had seen that smile before, and Vito now The faces are exactly the same.

"Okay, okay, technically she is my adopted daughter, but she is also a daughter, right? So, come and give dad a hug." Vito said with a smile and turned to look at Iyana, but the latter was very straightforward He raised a hand and pointed at Vito with a middle finger on it.

"Go away, you old bastard." Iyanna responded to Vito with the ancient Terran Latin that only Vito can speak in the galaxy today. Well, it seems that ancient Latin is now passed down, especially for swearing. part.

Vito smiled and turned to look at Peter and Reina, shrugged his shoulders and pointed at Yiyanna behind him as if proud, "How is it?"

"She does look a lot like you." Reina tilted her head slightly, looked at Vito and stared at Iyana behind him, who looked exactly the same as him, and then a mocking smile appeared on her face. , "Especially for being unruly. Now, you can finally be scolded by yourself."

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Every time I give her a gift, Yiyanna won't talk to me for a while, at least not for a few minutes." Vito turned around with a smile on his face and put his hands on his hips. She raised her head on both sides and looked at Yiyana in front of the stairs.

"How's it going? Do you want a gift? I brought you good things." "No, thank you, I don't want those "gifts" you gave me at all." "Don't be so anxious. You will definitely like it this time. Come on." , girl, leave the bad sister and go find your good sister."

Vito said and waved to Shatina who was next to Lilith behind him. The latter glanced at Vito, then at Lilith who nodded and smiled, and then walked up. She walked away from behind Vito's tall body. Go up, pass by Yireou, and come to Yiyana.

"Shatina?" Yiyang Na looked at the little girl in front of her and immediately squatted down. She pressed Shatina who was following her, and the language in her mouth changed to the Eldar language, "I heard that your knife was used by the darkness. The Eldar attacked, and I went there afterwards, but couldn't find you or your family."

"They were captured by the Dark Eldar and used as slaves. I rescued this girl from nowhere. Now, how about giving it back to you? Do you still like this gift?"

Vito also spoke in the Eldar language, while winking at Yiyanna with a smile on his face. The latter looked at Vito after being silent for a while, then rolled his eyes at him, and then buried his head and talked to Shatina. What comes.

"At least she didn't give me the middle finger. So, Iriou, at this beautiful moment when the two sisters are reunited, can you explain to me on behalf of the girl why you are here?"

Vito raised his eyes and turned to Yirepu and resumed speaking in Gothic. The latter cleared his throat. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Yiyanna who stood up next to him and raised his hand. She slowly stood up from the ground. He stood up, touched Shatina's head, then raised his head and nodded to Yi Ruipu.

"Let me talk to him, hurry up." "Of course, prophet." Iriou said and stepped aside. He waved to Shatina to come over, and the latter also touched Yiyana's head. Following him, Shatina, who had been smiling at the little girl just now, changed her face the moment she looked up at Vito.

She put her hands on her hips, stood in front of Vito and raised one hand, "I'm only going to say it once, and I don't want to waste time with you, an old pervert, so keep your ears open and listen."

"It's up to you." Vito smiled and bowed weirdly to Iyana, especially considering that he was wearing power armor, the action became even more ridiculous.

Yiyanna rolled her eyes at the teasing action, and after sighing slowly, she spoke skillfully, using Vito's unique Latin accent.

"To put it simply, on a planet called Walmarck, where Chaos was attacking under the leadership of Honso, the Imperial Defense Forces stood firm and suffered heavy losses. It was extremely glorious. You know what happened, I am too lazy to describe it. ”

"A fortress world near Cadia. Chaos is besieging the planet and trying to capture it. The local Cadia defense force is resisting hard." Speyer beside Vito added something to make it sound To be clearer, Vito nodded to him, and then looked at Shatina with a teasing expression.

"As an Eldar, isn't your simple and crude way of describing it a bit unethical?" "Listen to you or listen to me? Shut up."

Iyana stared coldly at Vito, who smiled and nodded to her, indicating that she should continue, and Iyana did continue after a moment of deliberation.

"And on that planet, there is an ancient artifact buried. It is said to be some kind of great killer weapon left by the ancient saints. It is so powerful that Chaos can destroy the world with it, so Hong Suo is going to find that thing and use it to challenge Abaddon's authority, or he just has some bad ideas, but Chaos can't get the artifact anyway."

"So, in order that the universe will not explode and that you humans and we can continue to live in this cesspit-like universe, we brought our troops to help the empire protect the planet, repel Chaos, and then find the artifact and bring it back Leave Cardia and bury it in a safe place to ensure that no one can find that dangerous thing. Okay, that’s it. Don’t you understand?”

After Yiyana's vivid, brief but extremely crude description, she raised her eyes and looked coldly at Vito, who smiled bitterly, "You should really work in the Ministry of Military Affairs, teach." How can those bureaucrats explain things clearly in three sentences instead of bothering me with a mountain of documents.”

"No, thank you, I don't like the hive city. The air is smelly and the food is unpalatable." Yiyanna said, raising a hand and looking at her nails, while Vito in front of her turned his head and glanced at it. Spier, the latter also nodded in affirmation.

"As Yiyanna said, in order to seize the planet and unearth the powerful artifact, Chaos mobilized a large-scale ground and space invasion force. The Chaos fleet we destroyed before rushed to support , take advantage of them and destroy them before they join up with the main force to launch a more violent attack on the planet. "

After Spier finished speaking, Iriol was also holding Shatina's shoulder and raised his other hand to explain, "My fleet and I also defeated another Chaos reinforcement elsewhere, and received After receiving the news of Speyer's request for help, we immediately rushed over to attack the Chaos Fleet from both inside and outside, but obviously, you came to solve all the problems first. "

"Now, Chaos' reinforcements have been temporarily repelled, and the pressure on the fortress world has been reduced a lot, but it is only a matter of time before they come back. We must defeat Honso before Chaos can regroup and defend the city. Once it falls into the hands of Chaos, the consequences will be disastrous. of sacred objects.”

Spier and Iriou added one sentence at a time, basically explaining the situation clearly in a few sentences. The situation is now very clear.

"So, what should we do? Marshal." Reina, who also understood, asked from behind. Peter also looked at Vito with a gun in hand, and the latter looked at them with a smile on his lips.

"I think I have an idea. Guys, set a course and head to the destination. Let's go give that boy Honso a big gift." Vito smiled coldly, with a pleasant smile on his lips. Yang Na rolled her eyes after seeing Na's description, sighed and said the concluding words.

"We and Chaos are doomed."
