Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 434: Legion Era: Judgment Has Come

Governor Mowentik really didn’t know whether this was a lucky day for him or an unlucky day. He was unlucky because he was sitting firmly in the position of governor of the empire, and like all the hard-working governors of the empire, he was enjoying his life. He is very happy that he got his current status from his father and will pass it on to his son.

There would have been no surprises in all this. Although the galaxy was extremely dangerous, filled with world-destroying wars and terrifying enemies, who would notice that he was here? A small planet on the edge of the Milky Way? Just live a good life by yourself.

But this beautiful fantasy disappeared a while ago. At first, it was just that several surrounding galaxies lost contact, and there were fewer merchant ships coming and going, but who cares? Moventik thought that this was just a common subspace storm, and everything would return to normal before long.

But then, more abnormal news came, and the star sectors around the Ivan galaxy fell into silence one by one, as if shrouded in darkness from far to near. Although Mowentik felt something was wrong at this time, he still Suppressing the panic in my heart, I told myself that this was just a bigger storm.

And besides, even if someone is attacking, he will not be like other unlucky guys. They only have mortals holding two broken guns to protect themselves, but Moventik is different. The star field he is in is close to Baal. The Ivan galaxy is also one of the recruiting planets for the Blood Angels Chapter, and they will protect themselves.

At least that's what Mowentik thought. He had been waiting for the divine soldiers to save him from fire and water. He even wrote a speech to celebrate the arrival of the Emperor's Angel of Death. Everything seemed so smooth, until, Barr also lost contact.

Baal suddenly lost all news. There was no news about astrology, galaxy transmission signals and the liaison ships sent. There was not even a ship that brought back any news from outside the system. And this was not the worst. After that, Immediately afterwards, a mutant rebellion broke out across the planet Ivan.

Those gangs of mutants who had always thought they were no different from low-level gangsters rose up and launched a large-scale offensive around the world. Facts have proved that too much reliance and belief in the Blood Angels will definitely send divine soldiers from the sky at a critical moment. Next, the defense forces under Mowentik were seriously under-trained, and they collapsed almost instantly.

The mutants launched a rapid offensive along the entire nest, and the defense lines collapsed. At one time, the rebels had already reached the door of the Governor's Palace. At this moment, Mowentik's luck after this series of unfortunate events The sun has come too.

The huge Imperial fleet that suddenly appeared like the rebels suddenly jumped into the galaxy, and then the overwhelming rain of Emperor's fire carried the Astartes army to the world. They were completely defeated in just a few days, and the mutants were wiped out. Although the price of the main force was that the entire city was almost razed to the ground and civilians suffered heavy casualties, what does this have to do with Moventik? He doesn't live here, and he doesn't care about the troubles of these untouchables in the hive. He only knows that he can continue to live and enjoy the life of a governor.

Until now, Moventik has been forced to leave his comfortable and safe Governor's Mansion bunker, come to the ground, and enter the ruins of the city.

Mowentik's eyes looked around nervously. He kept looking around at the tall collapsed buildings and the shadows in each ruin, as if there was something there that would kill him in the next moment.

"Well, Miss Judge, what I mean is, why do we come here? You see, this is not suitable for interviews or chatting. I suggest you go to my Governor's Mansion. It is more comfortable, warm and safer there. Yes A place for decent people to stay." Mowentik kept looking around, and then turned to Lilith in front, who walked in front of a torn corpse with her hands behind her back.

It belonged to a gene stealer. It was easy to tell from the bulge on his bald head. Lilith stepped on the head and stood on the ground. She put her hands on her hips and glanced at the group of planets following her. The dignitaries, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked out of place in the ruins.

Among them, the aristocratic ladies were dragging colorful skirts that weighed several kilograms through the market. Although when they returned, those skirts would definitely not be usable. The fragments of steel bars and broken steel in the ruins kept scratching the hems of those skirts. , turning them into rags on the ground.

The nobles followed Mowentik. They nervously explored every corner of the city, looking at the corpses lying around with fear, as if the aliens with only half their bodies left would get up. It's like taking these idiots with you to hell.

Lilith glanced at the noble lady who stepped on a gene stealer whose head was shattered. She quickly pulled her legs out, stepped back a few steps, screamed and shook the brain stuck on her high heels. Lilith watched. She tilted her head and smiled.

"Someone wants to see you. He has no interest in your Governor's Mansion, so he asked you to come out and come to your city to talk." Lilith put her hands on her hips and looked up at the huge ruins above her head. The tall building collapsed. It hit a nearby building and fell there like a land bridge.

Before Lilith finished speaking, a burst of gunfire came from the ruins. The dull echoing gunfire suddenly frightened all the governors present. They shrank down and tried to find bunkers around them, especially the governor who was the fastest. He almost immediately hid behind a rock with his head in his hands.

One foot stepped on the ruins behind him. The Governor raised his head and looked back to see Lilith's bent body. The pendant of the Inquisition was hanging upside down around her neck. The symbol that made any official in the empire trembled with fear. In front of the Governor, "How did you become the Governor? Are you like this? I'm curious why you haven't been killed yet."

"I abide by the laws of the Empire, follow the guidance of the Emperor's Light, and pray for the Emperor's blessing, so..." "Okay, stop using such clichés. Forget it, in fact, I don't want to hear anything you say. You have already It makes me bored, so it’s better to throw you to them quickly.” “Them?”

The Governor asked in surprise, and was immediately picked up by Lilith. She lifted the Governor up and patted the dust on his shoulders. Then she lowered her head behind her and motioned for them to follow, "Follow, hurry up, although His patience is okay, but the wild wolves around him don't have the same temper. You kept him waiting for a long time, and in the past, he didn't even give you a chance to defend yourself, so he killed you. "

Seeing that the Governor was still stunned, Lilith was a little confused and didn't bother to explain. She grabbed the Governor by the collar and dragged him away. The Governor was dragged towards him like a dog being dragged to death. Go forward.

The nobles behind looked at each other in disbelief, and then hurriedly followed after another gunshot from the surroundings. No matter what was in front, it would be better to stay here where they might be hit by bullets fired from who knows where at any time. Be good.

The Governor was dragged away by Lilith. His body posture became particularly weird. His legs were hurriedly moving forward alternately on the ground, and one of his eyes was pulled by the collar and looked straight ahead. So as expected, he fell down all of a sudden. On the ground, her legs tripped heavily to the ground, but Lilith had no intention of stopping. She directly dragged the governor forward on the ground with one hand.

The Governor just rubbed on the ground while walking. His elegant trousers must have been ruined after this trip. The appearance of the planet's Governor being dragged to death by a dog also attracted the attention of many people. On the other side of the ruined street The Astra Militarum soldiers stood with guns in hand on both sides of a ruins that had just been cleared of a barely passable street.

The soldiers and their non-commissioned officers, who were fully armed and wearing protective breastplates and steel helmets, looked at the governor on the ground with great interest. Many people laughed mockingly, but not only to the governor, but also to those who looked at him. The nobles, who had thin arms and legs and wore clothes that were more conspicuous than all the ruins around them, swaggered through the city.

Their shiny outfits are just like telling the gunmen who may exist in the ruins who to fight first. Maybe they don't know that as nobles, they are inherently hated? Just came here wearing stupid clothes.

Under a fallen rock, a political commissar wearing a wide black military hat and a thin red belt around his waist walked out of the temporary headquarters under the ruins. He put his hands on the belt, and the end of the red belt hanging down by his side floated. Under the muzzle of the bolt gun, the political commissar looked at the nobles passing in front of him, and the latter were frightened.

They looked around at the soldiers standing on the surrounding ruins. Many of them had ashes from the battlefield flames on their bodies. Their dark green breastplates were stained with blood and dust from the ruins. They mixed together to make these people... They looked dirty. Normally, the nobles would not be willing to approach them.

But now they have no choice, they have already arrived in this ruins, right? Moreover, the gunfire around them made them keep lowering their bodies, and low screams burst out from their mouths. The arrogant aura of the nobles disappeared in the ruins.

The Governor heard more gunshots ringing around him, and his back hit the ground in pain. "Ms. Judge, we should get out of here quickly! There are gunshots everywhere, and the rebels must still be hiding in the ruins." Come on, it’s too dangerous here!”

"Are you cherishing your life, or do you not believe in the gentlemen around you?" Lilith continued to drag the Governor. She suddenly tugged her hand and let the Governor scratch him from the ground full of sand and gravel. The Governor dragged him forward from the ground. , leaving a clean road on the ground like a sweeper.

The Governor was dragged forward. In front of him, an Astra Militarum holding a gun stepped aside. The Governor lay on the ground and looked up at the pilot wearing an armored bonnet with the Imperial Winged Skull shining on the cap badge. Holding a compact assault rifle, a huge Leman Russ main battle tank parked behind him.

The tall tank stood beside the Governor. He looked above the tank and saw the commander standing in the shadow of the toppled tall building at the turret. He stood there with his arms folded, in the turret next to his feet. There was also a gunner lying prone, and there were quite a few Astra Militarum troops standing around the tank.

Some of them gathered in front of the armored vehicles parked in the ruins with guns in hand, and some stood on top of the vehicles. When the dragging governor and the nobles who followed behind passed by like a herd of sheep, the surrounding people The soldiers all looked over, looking at them as if they were a group of lambs, and laughed mockingly from time to time.

Behind the Astra Militarum soldiers, a Genestealer wearing a jacket full of ash walked out of the ruins. He was pushed out, followed by several Genestealers with their hands raised.

The Governor turned his head and looked at the rebels who were driven out of the ruins. Behind them, the Astra Militarum team with guns in hand also walked out of the ruins. They drove the genestealers to the wall, and then picked up the Gun Lai fired at the wall at the command of the squad leader.

Several gene stealers standing in front of the wall were instantly beaten into pieces. One of them had his head exploded by a beating laser beam, and his brains sprayed out across the entire wall, which frightened the nobles. Those decent ladies in the team, they let out a not-so-ladylike scream.

The corpse was weakly leaning against the wall and slumped to the ground. In front of the wall full of blood and bullet holes, dozens of gene stealers were lying on the ground. The Astra Militarum armed with guns stepped forward and faced the fallen body. Two more shots were fired at the corpse on the ground, and the twitching stone head suddenly jumped up and fell to the ground.

Exiting the entrance to the ruins on the side, from the side of the Chimera armored troop carrier, the Astra Militarum, carrying the end of an oil tank and wearing goggles, walked up. He picked up the flamethrower in his hand, pointed it at the ruins and pulled the trigger. He rushed into it instantly and ignited blazing flames throughout the ruins.

Almost instantly, a burning and screaming genestealer or an unlucky civilian emerged from the gap in the rubble on the side. The governor couldn't tell. If he had hair, it was already in the flamethrower. Disappeared under the fire.

"Lord of the Starry Sky! The Four-Armed God redeems me! He will redeem us!" The man screamed and ran forward. The Governor looked at the man covered in fire. He was pushed aside before he ran a few steps. The Astra Militarum on the armored vehicle completely ignored his words, expressionlessly picked up the gun and knocked it to the ground with two shots. The body fell to the ground with a crash, and blazing fire burned on its body.

"I think we should go to the Governor's Mansion to talk. No matter who wants to see me, it's too dangerous here, both for him and for me." The Governor looked around nervously at the surrounding ruins, seemingly among them. There's also the hidden gene-stealing thing with a gun.

Lilith, who was walking in front of him, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will be safe soon, very safe. Unless you talk without thinking, you probably won't die."

As she spoke, Lilith swung her palm forward and threw the Governor away from the sandy ground. The Governor just rolled around on this surface several times and then lay down on the dusty ground. His He breathed in the dust on the ground and coughed.

The embarrassed Governor, whose head was covered with gray, raised his head. He first saw the huge iron feet in front of him, and then slowly raised his head and looked at the burly giant standing in front of him. His eyes followed the gray-black blood-filled The armor looked up, finally seeing the helmet with blood-red eyes shining on it.

Astartes, holding the power ax, raised his head and looked at Lilith, who clapped her palms and stood with one hand on her hips, "Okay, I leave them to you, entertain them well."

Lilith smiled at the Governor with her charming smile. The Governor saw that the Inquisitor was suddenly lifted up. The tall Astartes grabbed the Governor's arm and pulled him up with his huge iron hand. The Governor was even lifted into the air at once, and fell back to the ground after a moment.

The Astartes holding the power battle ax silently overlooked the Governor. The latter was horrified under the gaze of an Astartes and did not even dare to breathe. The warrior with the wolf skin on his shoulders stood for a moment. After silence, he took a step aside and raised his battle ax to point behind him.

Two other Astartes walked out from both sides of him. The tall giant silently walked behind the nobles carrying a chain axe. The planet's dignitaries on the street looked at the two giants in horror. They stood behind in silence, their blood-red helmet eyes radiating light.

The Governor looked at the Astartes in front of him without daring to express his anger. He even forgot what to do for a moment until Lilith came up behind him and gently patted his shoulder with her hand.

The Governor was startled and turned to Lilith behind him, who looked at him with a smile on his face, "It's time for you to hit the road, otherwise, you will really hit the road."

Lilith said sweetly, and pushed the governor's back with her palm. He suddenly fell forward and passed in front of Astarte. He took a few steps forward and suddenly stepped into a vast open space. The ruins of the city formed a bright line behind him.

Inside is a huge ruin lined with high-rise buildings, while outside is a bare wasteland. Here is a piece of rubble, not a single steel beam is left. Here, there are only Astartes, hundreds of thousands of Astartes. Standing in front staring at the Governor.

Mowentik felt an instinctive fear when he saw those angels of death, just like an animal's reaction when encountering a beast and fled backwards, but he just bumped into another one when he backed up, and then the Governor realized that all Everyone was rushed to the square, and two Astartes stood behind everyone holding chain axes.

The tall giant holding a power ax walked up to the governor. He silently looked down at the governor in front of him, then raised his tomahawk and pointed forward. The governor swallowed his saliva and turned his head in horror to look at the wasteland ahead. To the hundreds of Astartes angels, they stood there silently staring at themselves, holding huge weapons.

"Come forward, you don't have the right to ask him to wait for you." The Astartes on the side said and slapped the governor behind with his battle ax. He was suddenly driven forward a few steps, and the nobles behind him were also holding their battle axes. The warriors with chainsaws and axes were driven forward, and they were driven forward like a herd of lambs.

The Governor looked at the Astartes who were like a mountain of steel. Now he understood that the master of this planet was no longer himself, but these Astartes and their master. And that master was waiting for him, waiting for a judgment.
