Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

There was deathly silence in the cold Thunderhawk cabin. Cold lights hung high on the top of the cabin and emitted light. The flickering light like a weak candle illuminated the long steel bar floor below, and the fixed steel on the ground. Amidst the trembling of the fighter planes passing through the airflow in the air, it became the only source of sound here.

The light shines on the benches on one side of the cabin. There are a row of benches along both sides of the Thunderhawk cabin. The steel benches are extremely smooth, without a trace of rust or dust, and they look to be well taken care of. Outstanding.

Many Astartes Chapters have a paranoid pursuit of hygiene, especially those Chapters known for their discipline. They believe that the cleanliness of the internal hygiene can reflect the adaptability of the Chapter's discipline and whether each warrior is serious and competent. perform in their own positions.

Warriors and all mortal auxiliaries of the Legion need to regularly maintain their equipment and undergo inspections. If you are found to be lazy in this area by the inspecting officer, Huohuo, then you'd better pray that he is in a good mood today and that the Emperor will bless you. .

It can be seen that the battle group to which this Thunderhawk belongs is also very serious and solemn in this regard. Not only the benches, but also the surrounding floor gaps and the shelves on the top of the cabin are spotless. There is no trace of dust or rust. Its flight The crew is indeed very serious under the cultural influence of the battle group.

This also makes the steel bars on the wall in front of the cabin very clean. The surface is as clean as a mirror. The mirror reflects the Blood Angel warrior sitting on this side. He is sitting on the bench on the side of the cabin. He lowered his head and looked left and right with his old face.

He was the only passenger in the entire cabin, and the chairs on both sides were empty. Even the door to the cockpit in front was locked. The entire cabin was filled with dead silence, and the cold, pale light overhead made this cold. The environment became more harsh.

Dante straightened up and leaned against the cabin. He leaned closer to the side of the circular cabin observation window. The surrounding window was bolted shut and could not be opened at all, but its surface was wiped extremely transparent. The glass allows Dante to see everything outside.

Dante got closer to the glass and looked out. The setting sun had disappeared from his face. The setting sun only left a hazy circle of light on the distant horizon. The blood-red light curtain had been suppressed by the dark night sky. , night is falling on this once red land.

Black extended from the edge of the skyline, blackening the entire land like spilled ink. Dante leaned on the edge of the bed and looked down at the ground below. The dark ground was completely black except for the military convoy that was marching below. The light cast by the headlights illuminated the area for a moment.

They are driving on the ground in the distance like a small galaxy. The trucks are lined up in a row and their headlights are on. Their tires are rolling forward on the rocky ground composed of rocks and gravel. The armored vehicles in the convoy are , the headlights surrounding the turret shone brightly, illuminating a large area around it.

The light also illuminated the trucks in front and behind. They drove forward along the endless Gobi plain. It was a long Milky Way light road. Except for the convoy, the area was shrouded in darkness. The entire land was filled with the deepest The darkness makes it difficult to see distant things.

Dante's eyes followed the motorcade in the darkness, just like people at night are unconsciously attracted to the light. The Chapter Leader's eyes followed the motorcade moving forward, and the long motorcade illuminated everything. The lights marched across the dark land.

They drove forward, and then suddenly the leading car turned sideways, and the light from its headlights swept across the ground, like a spear sweeping to one side, and behind it, The following convoys all turned together, and the long convoy turned around in front of something.

Dante looked forward, and there was nothing in front of the continuously sweeping car lights. The lights did not illuminate anything above. The reason was simple, because that thing was below.

It was a huge rift valley, which extended from the end of the earth to the far end of the other side. The convoy began to turn a considerable distance in front of it, and trucks turned in front of it. Shine your car lights over the edge of the deep canyon, from the edge of the cliff into the abyss.

Dante looked down at the chasm below. It was so wide that even headlights could not reach the cliff at the other end. He flew over it. The Chapter Master stared into the abyss, and the abyss was also looking at it. he.

Dante did not remember that there was such a huge rift around the monastery. If there was, he would definitely remember that he had ruled Baal for more than a thousand years, which was dozens of generations long, so if there was such a huge rift around the monastery, He must know such a big rift valley and know his position very well.

But now he didn't know. Soon he saw more similar things. The Thunderhawk fighter jet rushed from the front of the rift into a piece of smoke that filled the air. The light of the propeller was almost instantly submerged in the darkness. into the dust, and the other three Thunderhawks behind it also got into it.

They flew quickly through the smoke. The smoke was not pure smoke, but a large number of small dust particles. Dante looked at the small particles that were constantly flapping on the window glass in front of him. They crackled against the glass. Sliding backwards like a swarm of flies.

The Thunder Eagle traveled through the particle storm, and a dense scratching sound came from outside its fuselage. Dante's eyes looked at everything outside, and large amounts of particle dust were raised, blocking everything around him. The sunset completely disappeared, and the night It also became darker, as if the entire world had been swallowed by a giant mouth.

And soon, Dante's vision was attracted by the luminous water flowing in the big mouth. In fact, it was not water. Dante straightened up and looked down. Under the flying dust cloud, in the distance There are rivers of fire flowing on the land.

They flow in the rift valleys all over the earth. Giant rifts extend all over the earth, and some are close to each other and connected. At their corners, the rivers of fire meet between them, pulsing slowly towards the end of the dark earth.

The fire penetrated the flying black particles and projected its own light into the air. They illuminated the towering cliffs in the rift valley and the volcanic rocks between them, as well as the Thunderhawk fighter jets flying above them.

The leader of the Thunder Eagle flew over the fiery cracks scattered across the land, its thrusters flashing in the air, flying farther away, Dante looked down at the rapidly passing rift valley below, their light shining backwards. After sliding out and falling in the direction behind him, Dante looked there and saw the same three escort Thunderhawks flying over it.

The jet flames at their ends were flickering in the dark night, and then they suddenly plunged into an even greater darkness. Dante stared at them and felt a sudden swing from the seat under him, pulling him towards One side was pushed out.

The fighter plane stood and swung its body. It kept changing its position rapidly, turning its wings to hide in front of certain things. Dante stood up and stood still with the auxiliary power of the power armor motor he was wearing that started instantly. Stepping on the ground of the cabin, he walked back to the window. The side knobs of the combat boots under his feet were constantly adjusting the position according to the deflection angle of the fighter plane, assisting Dante in moving forward.

He quickly returned to the window. Dante bent down and peered out. A huge object passed quickly in front of his eyes. It was so fast that Dante couldn't see it clearly, but it didn't matter. Because soon Dante saw more tall giants towering around him.

Dante took a closer look and saw the powerful vision of the Space Marines and the flames of the nozzles of the Thunderhawk's roaring wings. He could see clearly what the tall giants towering around him were. The Thunderhawk passed by, and the light of the thrusters shone on it. On its side, all the rock surfaces on it were illuminated.

Dante frowned. He looked intently at the things sliding quickly outside. He looked upward and saw the collapsed part. It was a towering mountain range, but now its entire peak had been broken, and the entire mountain on one side had broken. All disappeared, leaving only an incomplete section attached to it, illuminated by the fire of the Thunder Eagle.

Dante looked at the incomplete mountains passing by. There was not just one mountain around it, but an entire connected mountain range, but that place was already covered with traces of landslides, and the peaks no longer existed. , like wheat being cut off by a sickle.

The huge rock connecting the mountains has also turned into incomplete jagged teeth, as if it had been bitten by a giant wolf. The uneven gap sunk downwards, falling between the two peaks, and the It was also like a gate between the mountains, allowing the Thunder Eagle formation to fly through it.

The incomplete mountains stood behind him, and Dante looked at the towering mountains shrouded in the dark night. They were thrown back to the heights behind him, because the Thunderhawk began to descend. It quickly dived down from the heights, and its fuselage The rapid lift sent a bottom-up impact.

Dante felt the strong impact. If he were a mortal, he would have started to feel dizzy. However, thanks to the extraordinary physique of Astartes, Dante could withstand the stronger squeezing force without any discomfort. None.

But when the cabin door behind him opened, the whirlwind of fine particles that rushed in still made Dante cough. He endured the discomfort of dust in his throat and looked outside. The cabin door slowly fell downwards. The external searchlights above quickly came on, illuminating the surrounding ground.

It was an extremely dark land. Even if the light was shining on it, it would not help. There was no reflection at all, as if all the light had been swallowed up by it.

Waves of air filled with ash particles poured in from outside the door as soon as the door opened. Ashes slapped on the cabin door frames on both sides and roared on the inner bulkhead. Dante walked up silently, holding his hand Peering out from the sloping door frame of the cabin, one can see a flat but endless barren wilderness all around.

Dante walked out of the cabin. He stepped on the ground outside with his first step from the sloping deck. The ground was more like a piece of fragile tinfoil. The moment Dante stepped on it, a shallow layer of water sank. Traces of footprints, the Chapter Leader looked down at the dark ground, which was covered with a large number of cracks and gaps.

The ground under his feet was full of cracks. He looked up and looked around. The surrounding land was also filled with a large number of cracks and flaws. There was a dim light shining in the cracks. It was suppressed by the light of the Eagle's cabin door, and it was only when Dante stepped down and looked into the surrounding darkness that he could see it so clearly.

The entire land is covered with glowing cracks and gaps. They are densely gathered together, crawling on the ground like a swarm of fireflies, forming a connected shining path of light.

Dante heard the roar of the jets above his head. He raised his head and looked upward. He saw three escort Thunderhawks leaping over his head. They did not land, but headed towards the distance of the cracked and glowing earth. They whizzed away from place to place, passing over a tall building.

Dante stood at the cabin door and looked at the tall building in the distance. It stood on the dark ground, dimly illuminated by the outer wall in the light gathered by the glowing cracks around it, but the size of its huge body Parts are still shrouded in darkness, especially the long row of giant statues built against high walls.

Most of them were tilted, and after collapse, they were leaning against the mountain rocks and the rubble of the collapsed outer wall, while the remaining parts that had not collapsed stood in the darkness, like a dark giant standing in the distance, their incomplete parts The body is particularly conspicuous in the night, and it also brings a unique fear.

Dante looked at the building in the distance. There were footsteps in the cabin behind him. He turned to look behind him and saw a pilot emerging from the open door of the cockpit. He strode to the door of the cabin. Standing tall, one hand grasped the hydraulic rod that lowered the hatch, and the other hand pointed at the buildings in the distance.

"Where is he waiting for you?" the driver said, looking down at Dante. Dante, who was standing under the Thunder Eagle, nodded to the driver, and then stepped towards the direction of the building. The driver behind him also turned around. Returning to the cabin, the hatch behind him quickly closed.

After Dante took a few steps forward, he was attracted by the airflow behind him and stopped. He turned around and looked up. The Thunderhawk had already taken off, and its propellers were spitting flames downwards to lift it up from Dante. Ding's head slowly slid over, then lifted up and flew towards the direction of the building.

Dante looked at the retreating Thunderhawk. Like several other Thunderhawks, it passed over the building and flew towards the dark deep space, leaving only the flashing light of its four propellers. The dot twinkled in the deep night sky like the North Star.

Dante looked at the disappearing light spots, then lowered his head to look at the huge building complex ahead. He was silent for a while and then continued to walk forward. He walked on this endless vast plain, surrounded by towering buildings on both sides. The mountains stood in the distance, as mutilated as before, as if they had been shot by some kind of gun.

The Chapter Master's footsteps stepped on the ground beneath his feet, and the fragile ground continued to break downwards under Dante's feet. The cracked gaps quickly connected with each other, and collapsed backwards, leaving a trail of obvious footsteps. The mark is like Dante walking through a desert.

Each of his feet would leave a footprint, and the small glowing fire streams in the cracked cracks were immediately squeezed out. They gathered in the sunken footprints downwards, and then quickly gathered into a shallow small The lake, from which Dante's footsteps rose, the stream of fire would splash onto the surrounding dark ground.

The fire streams flying out flowed on the black ground, and then flowed into the cracks. Dante looked around at the endless black plains. Night shrouded it, and dark clouds shrouded the entire sky, blocking all light. Only the flickering cracks in the ground that spread across the earth lighted the way.

Dante walked alone through this dark land, leaving a long footprint behind him, and the firelight squeezed in it flickered to illuminate the long footprint.

Dante came to this tall building. He stood in front of the towering giant door. The doorframe pillars on both sides of the magnificent door had broken, and the huge collapsed debris hit the ground beside him. He looked up. Of the tall statues on both sides, only their incomplete parts were still standing in the night, while the rest were turned into wreckage and crashed to the ground.

And under the collapsed statue, a person walked out from behind the shadow on the side of the calf that had disappeared. Dante looked towards him, and the Astartes wearing power armor walked out of the black shadow.

He wore a battle helmet with wings spread out. The dark green battle armor on his body became darker and darker under the night, but the sword on his shoulders thrust into the air and a pair of white wings spread out behind him were still shining, but Din looked at the symbol, a white cloak covering one side of the pauldron.

The gray-white cloak fell from both sides of the power backpack on his back that was higher than the helmet behind him, and fell from a higher place to cover his lower body. The soldier walked out of the black shadow, and one of his hands subconsciously pressed on The sword on his waist was a sword in a dark green scabbard like his armor. The hilt was decorated with unfolded wings.

Dante looked up at him and saw the red eyes of scarlet glass under the helmet. The Knight Astartes stood alone and looked at Dante. He did not speak immediately, but was thinking. After a moment, he slowly spoke in a young but sharp voice.

"He is waiting for you, come with me." He said so briefly, without introducing himself or making any greetings. After saying that, he turned around with his sword and walked towards the gate between the ruins of the giant pillars on both sides behind him.

Dante looked at his back, stared at the broken face of the statue that fell to the ground on one side, and then followed him. He walked past the head of the statue with only half of its face intact, and passed from the pile of statues. Walked in between the ruins on both sides.

Dante escaped into the darkness. He followed the unknown knight and walked forward. He didn't speak. He didn't say a word the whole time. He just held the sword on his waist and walked in front, guiding Dante from the door. Pass through the circular corridor.

There are also ancient walls and murals in disrepair on both sides. Most of them are still peeling off and full of cracks. The incomplete fragments are piled on both sides of the walkway. Many of them have even weathered and turned into ashes. Covered on the corridor floor.

The remaining murals that were still intact and allowed a glimpse of the pictures were also shrouded in darkness. Dante could only vaguely see the pictures on them. He followed the silent knight in front of him along the circular corridor. He did not speak, so Dante didn't ask him any questions, and the two just walked in tandem.

From this, Dante's attention was more focused on the murals on both sides, which were all shrouded in ink-like darkness, but suddenly when Dante passed a broken support column, he saw something on the wall in front of him. I saw a clear mural. On the side of the mural, a bright moonlight shot down from behind the colonnade.

The moonlight illuminated the mural, illuminating the body of the man depicted in the carvings. Under the bright moonlight, there was a man standing on the wall. He was wearing an exquisite leader's robe and stood with a sword at his waist. On a rock, a huge halo of light was carved on the back of his head, just like the sun rising behind him.

There was a circle of signs around it, and a circle around his coat of arms. Dante got closer to the mural from the corridor and saw the signs clearly. They were wrapped around the head and sides of the man in front of him, relying on the protruding angular ends of his halo. The emblem of the array is the Chapter Emblem, the emblem of all founding Chapters.

Dante looked at the symbol belonging to his battle group. The double-winged Holy Blood drop symbol stood above its head, hanging there as the absolute protagonist. The man raised one hand high and grasped the Holy Blood symbol, as if Its lord stands on the rock.

Dante looked at his face, and his flowing hair danced beside his ears, with tiny stone carvings depicting the trajectory of light, as if the hair itself was glowing. Dante frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of him, and Behind him, the knight's footsteps became steady.

The heavy footsteps stopped behind. Dante turned his head and glanced behind him. The Knight Astartes stood with his sword in front of the gap that suddenly appeared between the walls surrounding the corridor. There were several huge stone pillars arranged in a row. Towering together, they form a colonnade, behind which is a hall.

The knight motioned to Dante to come forward, and the latter walked up without any hesitation. He came to the colonnade and looked at the knight. The latter stood there holding his sword and looked at Dante with the red glass eyes under his helmet. , and then looked into the hall behind him.

"Captain Dante has arrived, sir." "Thank you, Lancelot, you can leave first."

Dante looked down into the hall. There were three thrones under the tall dome. They were all exquisite. The moonlight shone down from the huge hole above the dome and hit the three thrones. The central throne was pure It is made of gold, with countless exquisite marks carved on it. A gap is cut inward on the back of the chair at the top of the throne, and a sky eagle with spread wings stands in it.

The golden eagle of the empire soars above the central throne. It is larger than the other two thrones on both sides. On the back of the throne on its left is a huge wing spreading forward, which is spread out there. , the golden feathers circled forward and wrapped around the main body of the throne.

In the center of the winged throne, countless gorgeous patterns are carved on the back of the glittering throne. They converge from all directions on the center of the chair back. There is a pair of spreading wings carved on the chair back. In the center of the wings is a downward pointing The recessed notch is reserved for a gemstone.

And the gem is also on top, it is an orange-red shining gem, with a golden eye imprinted on the center of the gem, as if staring sleeplessly at the hall in front of it, it is embedded in the blood drop gap, and it fits perfectly. Perfectly integrated with the holy blood wings.

On the other side of the two thrones, on the far right is another unique throne. It is different from the first two. It is not golden but white and silver like falling snow. The other thrones are carved on both sides of the backrest. Two giant wolves stood up from behind the throne and grabbed their claws on the back of the throne.

Under the claws of the giant wolf is pure marble stone. It is the purest marble Dante has ever seen in his life. The lines on it are clearly visible, without any trace of flaws. The falling moonlight hits it so that it can be seen clearly. It exudes a ray of light, like a faint light curtain surrounding the throne.

Like the previous two thrones, there is also a symbol imprinted on it, which is also a sky eagle. It is similar to the huge throne in the center of one side, but the sky eagle has only one head, and its grasp is also holding something, that It's a pair of lightning bolts, a pair of golden lightning bolts.

Dante looked at the lightning symbol on the back of the throne. It formed a sharp contrast with the surroundings on the silver throne, allowing people to spot it at a glance. What was equally eye-catching was the person sitting on the throne at the moment. , he sat in the falling moonlight, his figure hidden behind the light.

He raised a golden arm and waved it to the side. The Astartes knight named Lancelot beside Dante nodded and retreated. He took a few steps back with his sword, and then moved towards the side. Walking through the circular cloister, Dante was left standing alone behind the colonnade at the edge of the hall.

Dante looked at the direction of the throne under the moonlight, and at the vague figure sitting on it. The Chapter Master of the Blood Angels stared at the man and then stepped down the stairs in front of him. He extinguished the lights from both sides. Walking between the towering braziers and between the huge stepped seats that surround the hall on both sides.

Dante walked down the dark stairs. He walked down from the surrounding stairs and seats, and stepped into the moonlight on the flat ground at the end of the hall. He stepped into the moonlight, letting its bright The light illuminated Dante's whole body.

The gorgeous armor of the Blood Angels on his body gleamed, the wings of the Blood Angels on his chest were flowing with golden light, and the red blood drop gem in the center was beating with light spots. Dante walked into the moonlight and came to the three Sitting in front of the throne on the raised platform, he first looked up at the huge throne in the center, staring at the golden double-headed star eagle on it, and then looked at the silver throne on the side.

The man on the throne was sitting on the back of the chair. The moonlight shone from his head, covering his face and entire upper body behind a curtain of light. Only his legs stretched out, marking the golden armor legs. Two star eagles stretched out, one of which was the double-headed eagle on the central throne, and the other was a single-headed eagle holding lightning. The two eagles were close together, like twin brothers.

Dante looked up at the figure behind the moonlight with a smile on his face. He stood in front of the throne with one hand on his hip and looked at him with a smile, "Hello, pile driver."
