Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 424 Legion Era: Two Years of Change

Reina stood behind the handrail of the bridge and looked out the window. She soon heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind her. Reina turned her head and looked at Vito who quickly opened the automatic door and walked in. He buttoned his shirt while walking. His messy hair made him look quite tired.

"Good morning, didn't Judge Lilith follow you?" "She was not feeling well and stayed in the room to rest, so I was alone." Vito said as he buttoned his collar and walked up. Lily stayed alone in the bedroom and drew all the curtains. The light of the Emperor of Terra made her feel uncomfortable.

But it was no wonder. After all, she was a demon. Her sister, the remaining three and their subordinates usually didn't even dare to look at the cold golden sun, let alone be directly exposed to the glory of the throne of Terra. Ordinary demons would probably be burned to ashes.

As a member of the evil gods and one of the two queens of the Slaanesh demons, Lilith would not be burned to ashes just by looking at Terra, but it would indeed make her feel particularly uncomfortable. According to her, it was like a 24-hour menstruation.

When Vito left, she had already started to smash things because of the pain. If he hadn't run fast, she would probably have regarded him as something to smash, so it was better to leave her there.

"Okay, how is the situation here?" Vito said, leaning on the armrest on one side with one hand, and the other hand on his waist, looking at Reina with a smile, and the latter also smiled slightly and put her hands behind her back.

"As you can see, we have arrived at Terra. The voyage is smooth. The ship has not been invaded by demons and the hull has not been damaged. The crew is in good spirits."

"Tell me something I don't know." Vito said sideways. Reina in front of him smiled and raised her head to look out the window. "We are warmly welcomed. It seems that everyone on Terra has come."

Vito glanced over and saw the situation outside the window at a glance. He smiled bitterly, "It looks like the only thing missing is a red carpet, right?"

What's going on outside the window? That is, a whole fleet is densely arranged on the entire Terra track, and their guns are just aimed at the Emperor Fantasy. Vito guessed that firing salutes in space might be a bit technically difficult, so the guns are probably filled with macro cannon shells as big as buildings.

The Emperor Fantasy was surrounded by a whole fleet. They were arranged in a compact battle formation in front of the battleship, and there were more battleships on the left and right wings that were maneuvering quickly. After flying past the Fantasy, they quickly detoured and surrounded the Fantasy in the middle.

Vito glanced at a warship outside the side window of the bridge. It sailed to the flank and quickly adjusted its posture. The macro cannon on the side turned its muzzle to aim at the Emperor Fantasy. The light spear turret on the hull also turned around with a row of automatic cannons. Countless black hole muzzles were aimed at the golden giant ship.

"We look like sugar beans dropped in the middle of an ant colony, right?" Vito said with a smile. This description is very appropriate. The entire Emperor Fantasy is surrounded by a circle of densely packed warships. The black area looks like a group of ants. They are so close together that they even cover part of Terra's surface.

"Captain, the other side has a communication signal." The bird captain below raised his head and shouted. Vito looked at Reina and then looked down, "Connect the signal to the screen." "Yes, sir." The bird captain said and clicked the keyboard in front of him. He then raised his head and looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him. A loading interface quickly appeared on the glass window. The loading screen was replaced by a communication screen after a flash. A naval captain appeared on the screen. The captain wore a captain's hat and the golden uniform of the Solar Fleet. His huge image was projected onto the huge French window in front of Vito. "This is the Terra Air Defense Command of the Solar Fleet. Please identify yourself immediately."

"This is the flagship of the Solar Fleet, the Emperor Fantasy. The one next to me is Captain Reina, and I am Marshal Vito Constantine. If possible, ask your men to move their guns away now."

Before Vito finished speaking, he was interrupted by a short alarm. The fire control officer at the wall turned his head and looked at the screen in front of him. "Sir, their fire control radar has locked us."

Vito shook his head and raised his head. He leaned on the armrest and looked at the huge screen in front of him, looking at the captain in it, "What did you not understand? Do you know who you are pointing your loaded gun at?"

"Very clear, but according to our records, the Supreme Marshal It disappeared two years ago and its whereabouts are still unknown. The ship you claimed disappeared ten thousand years ago, so there is only one reasonable explanation, you are a heretic who came to infiltrate Terra. "

Vito shrugged and waved his hand helplessly in front of him, "Have you ever considered another possibility, that I am real and the ship under my feet is also real?"

The captain frowned and stared at Vito. He said something to someone outside the screen and turned back to the screen, "Surrender immediately, otherwise you will be shot into a sieve!"

"Sir, do you need to raise the void shield?" The bird chief asked below, "No, no."

After Vito said that, he looked at the guy in front of him with a serious face, trying to be deterrent. He didn't know that if they opened fire, the ship they were "surrounding" at the moment could sink them all in the blink of an eye.

The Emperor's Dream is the prototype of the Glory Queen, and it is more powerful than the Glory Queen itself. When the Emperor's Dream was rebuilt, the cost issue was not considered, but it was purely an experimental construction. He set an ambitious goal to build the most powerful battleship class in human history.

They did succeed. The Emperor's Dream, as well as its sister ship The Blofax, driven by the Emperor himself, are undoubtedly the most powerful first-class battleships in the Empire since the Golden Age until now. However, The shortcomings are also obvious. When it was originally built, it was purely for the sake of awesomeness, and the construction cost was ignored, so the final cost list was also insanely long and expensive.

At that time, the Mechanicum calculated that building a warship of the same level would take up an entire forging world and take a century to complete. The resources required would be equivalent to an entire expedition fleet, so roughly speaking, the Emperor's Dream The ship is approximately equal to an entire fleet, and the firepower is also equivalent to an entire fleet.

So you understand now, he said that if Vito doesn't surrender, he will beat them into pieces. Ha, if they want to do it, they have to bring several flagships of the founding battle group here, so that this statement can be like a threat. Rather than a joke.

A smile appeared on Vito's face. He stood up and looked at the captain, "What's your name, Captain?"

"What?" the captain said in confusion. His face was full of confusion and surprise, but Vito in front of him laughed and stood in front of the image with his arms folded. "Your name, rank and number."

"When I go to find Guilliman I have to tell him who caused this accident, who opened fire on me, and why I reduced the entire defense fleet of Terra to scrap, so tell me your name. ”

Vito's words suddenly frightened the captain. He watched Vito hesitate to speak, and after a moment of thinking, he talked to someone off-screen.

He looked back after a moment, the threat on his face was much less, he cleared his throat and his voice became much calmer, "Stop your jump and propulsion engines, we will send people to board the ship to confirm your identity, and then we will Can"

"You? You are just an ordinary captain who cannot survive a major general, but you are ordering the Supreme Marshal to accept your inspection. Don't you think this is a bit of a serious overstep?"

"I remember that the Imperial Navy handles this kind of disrespectful behavior very seriously. Should I report it directly to your superior, Admiral Bona, Lord of the Navy, or tell Guilliman directly? You choose one."

The captain was stunned for a moment. His eyes glanced left and right and then he moved closer to the screen. His voice became extremely respectful and humble, "But, I, I am just obeying the admiral's order. If I let you go directly , I will be dealt with by military law.”

"That's easy, ask your admiral to see me, and I'll talk to him directly." Vito crossed his arms, his voice was calm but full of majesty. The captain was stunned for a moment, "Only senior officers can meet the admiral directly." "I am the Supreme Marshal. Is there anyone with a higher rank than me?" "No sir, I will do it right now." "Hurry up, I don't have much patience."

As the captain spoke, the screen immediately cut off. Vito stood there and looked at the smiling Reina beside him. The former shrugged with a smile on his face, "Just get used to it. It's more efficient for the current empire to scare people like this." ”

Indeed, the cut-off communication screen quickly popped up again. The Imperial Navy's Sky Eagle emblem spun in a circle and quickly fragmented into a human face. A man wearing the uniform of a senior navy captain with shoulders The navy captain with four Terra Venus hanging on it appeared.

He held his hands in front of him and looked at the screen with a serious face, "I am Admiral Cole, identify yourself immediately, otherwise I guarantee that I will blow you into the Eye of Terror within a few seconds."

"Cole?!" Vito exclaimed as he looked at the person on the screen. The latter also raised his eyes and saw Vito. After Cole was stunned for a moment, he immediately put his hands on the table and moved forward, his eyes close. Come and look at the holographic image.

"Vito?! Your Majesty, my eyes are not deceiving me?" "Yes, it's true." Vito raised his hands with a smile and turned around in front of the huge image of Cole. Let him look at his whole body.

"Wait a minute, you disappeared for more than two years, and then you suddenly appeared again? And how did you bypass the defenses around Mandeville Point and jump directly to the sky above Terra?"

"What about the ship under my feet, the Emperor's Dream? She's beautiful, isn't she? Don't drool." Vito stood in front of the screen with his hands on his hips and said with a smile, while Cole on the projection in front of him tilted his head. He fell silent, rubbing his head as he comprehended the explosion of information.

"Tell me something only you and I know."

Vito shrugged with his hands on his hips, "We went to the Victoria system to deal with the local gene stealers who had infiltrated the upper echelons, and before calling the Hive Fleet to deal with them, Ragnar raided several training cages in the training room, and basically all of them were destroyed. The space husky was beyond repair, so we had to throw it away and replace it with a new one.”

"You warned Ragnar that if he dared to dismantle another training cage, he would be stuffed into a macro cannon and shot into the star. He did not dismantle it after that, at least for a while, and then he started to dismantle it again not long after. , you didn’t stuff him into the barrel, and since the muzzle of the macro cannon is so big, it’s not suitable to stuff him, so I recommend tying him to a torpedo and shooting him out.”

"Fuck, is it really you?" Cole said in shock. Vito in front of him smiled and shook his head, shaking his body back and forth like a tumbler. "If it's true, can you believe that I am not a Chaos spy? Did your men put down the guns pointed at my head? He was afraid that they would go off in a hurry, and then I would have to shoot you."

Cole looked at the crazy man in front of him with a weird smile on his face. He rubbed his head and smiled silently. Then he put the bag on the table and leaned back on the chair, "You... You idiot, you just came back after two years of wandering, and it looks like you have a lot of new friends.”

"We are old friends, so can we enter the port?" Vito smiled and leaned on the armrest, swinging his fingers on the side of his head to point the Terra track ahead. Cole looked at him and smiled again and again. Shake his head.

"Okay, let's find a big dock. Your boat will probably take up a few parking spaces." Cole said, standing up with his hands on the chair behind him, lowering his head and getting closer to the edge of the screen, but only a few faces appeared. At the edge of the screen.

"I'm going to inform Lord Guilliman and Ragnar that you want to torpedo him out."

"Wait, the husky is here too? Who else? Caliban orange cat?" Vito smiled strangely, but the smile was full of sincerity. Only half of the face in front of him was smiling on the screen. Cole stood up with his hands on his hands, and now only his waist was left on top.

"Everyone is here. A lot of things happened while you were away. We'll talk about it when you get here." "I'm really looking forward to it. Oh, by the way, I forgot to congratulate you on your promotion, General." Vito said in a particularly serious tone. Cole also laughed at the last word "admiral", and he reached out and moved closer to the control panel in front of him.

"Enter the port as soon as possible, I will inform them, don't be late."

Cole said as he pressed the button in front of him to turn off the communicator, and his voice suddenly stopped. Vito stood up and turned around and patted Reina on the shoulder as he walked past her.

"Let's enter the port. Terra hasn't been on such a big ship for many years, so the pier is relatively narrow. Be careful not to scratch her." Vito smiled and patted Reina on the shoulder, then started to walk towards the bridge. In the direction of the exit, the automatic door quickly opened after sensing the arrival.

"I have a lot of friends to introduce to you. They are a bunch of weirdos. You will like them." He said and walked into the automatic door. The door was closed immediately. Reina looked at the closed door and smiled. After laughing, he turned and looked out the window at the majestic Terra.

"Get ready to enter the port, we're home."
