Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The sea breeze blows from the towering ridges on both sides of the strait. The biting cold wind swept from the cold wind belt of the Arctic Ocean roars down the mountain cliffs. The wind blows across the undulating sea surface, and the wind clings to the constant waves. The razor-edged waves blew forward, then hit the edge of the hull and rose upward again.

The cold wind rose from the shield on the side of the ship, blowing the raised sail upwards. The sail dragged the entire long ship forward and sailed with the wind. The bow of the ship continued to rise and fall between the waves, and the dragon's head The bow of the ship was also constantly surging in the splashing waves.

The sea water rose up as the hull flapping again, and the splashing waves hit the face of the person sitting at the stern. He raised his hand and wiped his face with the thick fur coat he was wearing, but this time it made his His face was even dirtier, and his clothes were covered with ashes. Such a wipe made his face covered with ashes.

"You look like you crawled out of the ruins, Constantine, like a goblin." Floki said as he sat on the side of the ship. He leaned there, the cold wind blowing the hair on the back of his head, Looking at Vito with that trademark sarcastic expression.

"I did climb out of the ruins, Floki, but have you seen such a handsome goblin? Or rather, you have never seen a goblin at all." Vito smiled and stretched his hand down the side of the longship. , took a handful of cold sea water and slapped it on his face. In an instant, all the dust on his face disappeared, and the biting cold sea water also made him sober.

Vito stretched out and leaned on the raised stern of the Viking long boat, while Floki in front of him shook his head. His eyes were wide open, looking quite nervous. "I've seen it, in England, on the Saxon farms."

"That just refers to a dog that jumps when frightened, Floki." Korver, who was sitting on the other side, said this and waved his hand, but Floki beside him didn't seem to care at all. He raised a hand on the side of the ship and looked at the fingertips with wide eyes.

"Only those chosen by God can see mythical creatures. They can see many things that ordinary people cannot see." "Okay, whatever you say."

Korver sat on the bench on the side of the ship and said. He turned to look at Vito and raised his head, "Do you know what you are looking for? The artifact of the Asa Protoss."

"Yes, I found it. I spent a lot of effort to find it. Wow, actually, it took a lot of effort."

"Indeed, there was a lot of movement in the long room. What happened inside?" Floki raised his head and asked with his eyes wide open. That made him look particularly nervous. Vito stared at him and fell silent for a while. , then raised one leg and stepped on the wooden board behind him, raising his head and looking forward.

"I had a fight with that guy with a stinky mouth, and the noise was a bit loud." Vito said casually, while Floki turned the fingers in his hand with a smile, and his cigarette-coated fingers Xun's eyes were still looking at Vito, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"You brought down the longhouse. What did you use to knock it down? Thor's hammer?" Floki asked. Vito was silent for a while and then shrugged. "The house was on fire. The support burned out and then collapsed. ”

"I think I saw lightning, a big lightning, like Thor descending to earth." "Could it really be that Thor came down to do it himself?" "It's hard to say, Constantine, after all, your It has Thor in its name, doesn’t it?”

Vito and Floki looked at each other in silence for a moment, and then he suddenly smiled and pointed at Floki in front of him with his finger, "You also have Loki in your name, don't you? So you are?"

"Maybe it is, maybe it is not. God's things are always beyond the comprehension of mortals." Floki leaned on the side of the ship and said with a faint mocking smile. Korver on his side stared at him in silence for a moment. Then he turned to look at Vito, who was also secretive.

"Where's that thing? You found it, right?"

Vito smiled and took out the exquisite box from his arms. He threw the thing in his hand and weighed it. Then he pointed the box at Floki and said, "As promised, this box is yours."

"Where are the things inside?" Korver asked while sitting on the bench. Vito smiled and threw the box up again, then caught it and shrugged, "I'll think about it later. How to deal with it, maybe find a place to hide it, Floki, maybe you can use Loki's expertise?"

"Hmph, of course, just like Thor and Loki, brother." Floki chuckled in a high-pitched voice. Vito looked at him and fell silent for a while. He seemed to see something in him. Something familiar, but Vito smiled at him quickly, then raised his head and looked forward.

"Then, let us return to our "Asgard" first." Vito said. Korver and Floki both looked back. They saw the land not far from the strait. The towering dragon-headed arch stands on the pier, and the flags hanging below it buzz in the air.

"Get ready to dock, everyone, get ready to dock." Korver stood up and shouted loudly. The crew behind him began to get busy. The people closest to the sails stood up and started to pull the ropes to lower the sails. Others lifted the huge oars from within the hull.

As the sails dropped, the oars on both sides also stretched into the sea water. Vito leaned on the mast at the stern and put the box into his arms. He held his arms and looked at the getting closer and closer to the coastline and other places. Go to that "Asgard"

The oars slid in the sea water, and they raised waves under the push of the crew. With the oars, the entire boat quickly crossed over and slowly approached the dock on the coast. The edge of the hull slid forward, Soon it collided with the boundary of the pier, and the longship stopped.

Several crew members sitting at the stern immediately stepped onto the side of the ship and onto the pier. Vito suddenly grabbed the rope beside him and threw it to them. They quickly began to skillfully connect the hull to the pier. The anchors are tied together.

While they were busy, Vito was the first to board the pier. He stood there with his hands on his hips and looked at the entrance arch at the end of the long board of the pier in front of him. It was a faucet door carved out of wood, with the prototype on it It is obviously a ferocious dragon, but the carver made it not very ferocious.

Vito looked at the slightly funny dragon head and smiled, "Wow, as the main door of Asgard, we should probably change the door frame."

"How is it? Floki, I leave it to you, can you handle it?" Vito smiled and looked at Floki stepping out of the boat. He hummed and smiled and walked towards the dragon head door, from There walked up many women and children, as well as brothers and fathers, who had found the longship docked and welcomed the returning crew.

"You owe me again, Sol." "How about paying you with good wine? I also have a few bottles of good wine I brought back from Kiev, top-quality vodka. I remember you like this wine, right? ? I like it better than mead." "Hmph, then I will make a faucet worthy of that good wine."

Floki walked towards a woman with a smile. He immediately put his arm around the woman's shoulders and left. They passed through the crowd surrounding the pier and quickly disappeared there. Vito looked on with a smile. In that direction, other crew members on both sides of him quickly walked towards the exit carrying bags, swords and axes.

They came together with their wives, sons or daughters, fathers or brothers. Many hugged each other and laughed, while others carried their children on their shoulders and walked into the town with their wives in their arms.

Vito stood on the dock next to the longboat with his arms crossed, looking at them with a smile. He glanced at Korver who jumped down behind him, who put a tomahawk on his shoulders and walked with Vito. Together.

"Once again, everyone came back with their arms and legs intact." Vito said with a smile, and Korver beside him also chuckled. "Indeed, no one died and no one was injured. Their wives Both your parents will feel at ease, and so will yours.”

"Are you still going to drink with Floki tonight? Aren't you going to find your wife? Go to Lelia. You are married to the most beautiful woman in all of Norway."

Vito smiled jokingly and put his hand on Korver's shoulder. "Then we can't forget you good brothers, right? My good brothers, I will go find your sister later."

"Humph, you have been married for two winters, maybe it's time to consider having a child?" Korver said with a joking smile, while Vito beside him put his hands on his hips, raised his head and sighed with a smile.

"She's not ready yet." "Neither are you, right? Constantine, my brother." Korver said, this time it was his turn to hold Vito's shoulders, and he smiled, "Legend has it that Thor died in a bloody battle with Fengris without leaving any heirs. I don't want you to do the same."

"Fight to the death with the giant wolf that devours the world?" Vito said with a smile on his face. Korver beside him smiled and patted his shoulder, and then looked at the two people who emerged from the crowd not far away. Two children, a boy and a girl, ran over with a smile.

"No matter what happens to my sister, you should be prepared first. Maybe you can bring new life to this settlement in the spring." Korver said and walked up. He faced the two children and put the battle ax on the After putting on the belt, he immediately picked them up. He carried the two children on his shoulders and walked towards the distant gantry exit.

Vito watched Korver leave in silence for a while, his eyes lowered. He did not tell them that he was an immortal, and not an ordinary immortal. This also meant that he was destined to be with the legendary Sol Like you, you will always be alone until you die alone in a glorious moment, if that moment is truly glorious.

But at least now, he can still enjoy the peaceful life here, return to his wife's side, and live like an ordinary person. Vito lowered his head and shook his head with a smile, then raised his head. He looked at the direction ahead and started from A man walked next to Korver, who was carrying the children playing with him and laughing with them.

Wearing a full-body cloak with a hood that covered his face, he walked out of the crowd holding a long staff. Korver passed him by, seemingly not noticing at all. This guy is different from everyone around him.

In fact, not only Korver, but everyone seemed not to notice him. Vito looked at him and was silent for a while. The man came over and walked from the pedal of the pier. As he approached, there was a sense of A familiar feeling surged through Vito's mind, like a memory.

Many things emerged in that memory, including the Milky Way, the Human Empire, Holy Terra, subspace, and endless war, as well as the Emperor sitting on the golden throne in the palace at the end of the dark galaxy that was forever shrouded in war.

Everything in Vito's eyes began to blur, and a silhouette of a person appeared in front of his eyes, a human face with only a skeleton left, and an iron halo burning behind the head.

Suddenly, the Emperor's face froze, and the skeleton gradually became human-shaped, with eyes and skin gradually appearing on it, and long hair falling down from the dark brown skin, and the face stopped.

Vito looked at the mysterious man who walked up to him. He was no longer mysterious. When he slowly took off his hood, Vito recognized him, and he smiled at him, "Hello, my marshal, long time no see."

"Fuck." Vito understood everything at once, and the curtain between dreams and reality was instantly pierced, and the illusion was finally replaced by reality. Everything around him that was so real just now became blurred, like an illusion made up of lies.

"You are dreaming, Vito, one of the few beautiful dreams you have had for a long time, without being tortured by the painful memories of the past." The Emperor said so, he stood in front of Vito holding the scepter, and the golden halo appeared behind his head.

Vito covered his face and sighed deeply. He turned his head and didn't even bother to look at him. "And you came and interrupted this dream, turning it into a nightmare like that broken universe. Thank you so much."

"You know, this is the only way I can come to see you in person, in your dream." The Emperor raised a hand from under his robe. He and Vito talked on the side of the longboat, and the crew members holding the thin rope beside them seemed to have not heard their conversation at all.

"Why did you come to me again, you bastard? To assign me more tasks? Isn't it enough that I give you 24 hours of overtime all year round? Besides the fucking task of saving the Empire and finding all the Primarchs, what else do you want me to do?"

Vito said with great annoyance. He turned sideways without looking at the Emperor, who stood aside and gently raised his hand and clasped it on the side of his cane. "I met Guilliman and we talked."

"So? What does this have to do with you coming to me in my dream?"

"I need you to kill Guilliman."

After a moment of hesitation, Vito put down his hand in front of him and looked at the Emperor blankly. There was no humanity in those golden eyes.
