Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 455 Rebirth from the ashes:

Sorry, I was suddenly pulled away due to something unexpected this afternoon. The second update has been postponed until now. Please forgive me.

—————(Start of main article)——————————

Bell looked at the data pad in his hand. Words and pictures were scrolling on the oversized tablet specially made for the Astartes. Those were battle briefings. Upholding the excellent tradition of the Ultramarines, Bell always tried his best to prepare the battle before the battle began. Understand and master any intelligence on the battlefield.

As their genetic father, Robert Guilliman, said, a good commander should try his best to anticipate any possible actions of the enemy, various changes in the battlefield and countermeasures before the war begins, so as to This is the fastest, most efficient and least costly way to win the war.

But obviously, not everyone had the same idea as Bell. He raised his head and looked over the steps below to Ragnar and Lancelot, who were sitting at a table in the front row of the stepped seats in the conference hall. In the arm wrestling match, it was obvious that they were impatient to decide the winner after going on.

The Space Wolves and the Dark Angels decided to compete for a while before the start of the meeting. They pressed each other's hands and pushed each other down hard. Both of them had hard smiles on their faces, looking awkward and awkward. Funny, but it didn't dampen their spirits at all.

They called Olaf as the referee. The old wolf sat in the upper seat next to the table, and around the table were representatives of the Astra Militarum, the Navy, and the Ministry of Justice who were passing the time. People around the table were betting on who would win, and the stakes were pushed up, as were the shouts for the players they bet on.

Bell looked at them and then turned to the other end of the stairs. Eisenstein and Loken were talking to each other not far away. Surrounded by them were many equally serious army and navy officers who did not intend to indulge themselves before the war. They were all sitting on the long stairs, talking to each other about information.

Behind Bell, on the higher steps, was a red sea, a red sea in a literal sense, because the positions there were filled with clergy of the state religion, sitting around under the statue of the emperor at the top of the steps. The red robes on his body were connected together, and together with the representatives of the adjacent Mechanicum, they formed a red sea covering most of the conference hall.

But it is not all red. There are also gray power armors and silver-white hair moving among them. The battle nuns holding rosary beads walk into the hall. Behind the leader, the nun is followed by many religious sisters. They were all tall and wearing well-fitting power armor.

The armor was in sharp contrast to that of the Space Marines. It was slimmer and slender, with the waist and legs as thin as possible, fitting the curvy curves of their bodies, making it look more appreciative.

A nun wearing a white silk scarf strode in. She was not pretty. She had a striking scar on her right eye, and there were burn marks on her lower jaw on the side of her face. This made her very lifelike. fear.

But not all of them are such terrifying nuns. Some of them are younger and more beautiful. They conform to the people's imagination of the emperor's daughter in the empire. They are powerful, beautiful and gentle. They don't plan to use flame jets to give you This is what it looked like before I felt the warmth.

Bell looked down. The nun reached the end of the stairs. She nodded to Captain Cole who was sitting next to him. The latter also put down the tablet in his hand and politely returned the greeting.

Bell initially doubted whether Anna would refuse to agree to this, but it was obvious that he was overthinking it. Anna was not angry but smiled and nodded to the head nun, and then started fighting with several young nuns following her. She said hello, obviously they had a good relationship, the young sisters all smiled and waved to her.

The nuns walked past them, and Anna sat side-legged next to Cole. She looked back and saw Bell and said hello to him. The latter nodded to Anna with a friendly smile, but suddenly, there was a knock on the ground. The tapping sound of the hammer interrupted the next greeting.

Anna turned her head to look at one side of the conference hall, and Bell also looked up. At the edge of the rostrum under the arc-shaped conference hall, honor guards holding golden staffs walked in from the door. Wearing a gorgeous breastplate, its chest is branded with the spread-wings symbol of the Imperial Sky Eagle.

They walked into the hall with guns in hand. The iron-plated heels of their military boots kept clicking on the ground. The neat sound attracted everyone's attention. Even the two people who were competing stopped and relaxed. They held each other's hands and looked at the guard of honor passing by in front of the rostrum.

The feathers on the helmets above their heads floated under the steps. They walked in a line in front of the steps. Everyone who was still chatting around immediately quickly returned to their seats. Ragnar and Lancelot stood up and climbed over the table, sitting next to Cole.

The impact of the two Astartes sitting down together made Cole tremble, the bench creaked and almost fell apart, and the datapad in his hand almost fell to the ground.

But he didn't have time to reprimand the two men for their vandalism. He was interrupted by the sound of rifles hitting the ground. All the gorgeous honor guards in front of the rostrum stopped. They stood at attention and turned neatly to the direction of the stairs. The Seiko laser in his hand fell to the ground with a neat crashing sound.

It was like the sound of church bells, instantly interrupting the noise in the hall just now. The towering stairs and the corridor seats above were all quiet. The representatives of the entire expeditionary force held their breath and looked down, watching the person who walked in from the rostrum.

The gorgeous golden power armor he wore shone brightly under the light. He walked in from the gate, and the female judge in a black windbreaker followed him. They walked through the guards of honor who saluted with guns at the door and stepped onto the rostrum. Under the gaze of Bell and everyone, they walked to the preaching platform in the center of the rostrum.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at the full seats on the stairs in front of him. He raised his head and looked up at the corridor seats above, which were also full of people. Everyone looked at him silently.

"Hello, everyone. I'm glad that everyone arrived so quickly. I guess you all know the reason for coming here, right? Ragnar." He looked at the front row of stairs on one side of the rostrum. Ragnar sat there and smiled with a mouth full of fangs.

"Of course, the planet in front of us is on fire, and it's burning badly. Let's go down and put out the fire, Marshal." He said, poking Lancelot next to him with his elbow, "The son of Fenris knows how to play with fire, but these guys can only sit in their monastery and chant endlessly."

As soon as Ragnar said this, before Lancelot had any reaction, the head nun in the adjacent seat next to him frowned first, and the nuns around her all cast frowning eyes at them. Obviously, they had some different opinions on this.

Ragnar looked at them with a fang-like smile and winked at them flirtingly, and then the nuns sitting next to him rolled their eyes and turned their heads, but the young wolf lord obviously didn't care at all. He smiled and hugged Lancelot next to him, looking at Vito on the stage.

Vito smiled at him, then raised his head and looked down at the people below, "As you can see, the war is raging on Vlasov in front of us. The archbishop who was once loyal to the Emperor defected to Chaos because of greed and violated the Imperial Code. He led his traitors to resist the Imperial Order on the planet." "The warriors of the Krieg Death Legion are on the surface of the planet, representing the Emperor to implement the Imperial Order and make the rebels pay the price. The latter rely on the central fortress of the fortress world and the defense facilities throughout the planet to resist stubbornly, but according to the news I received from the Inquisitor of the Tribunal, the fearless sons of Krieg have broken through the outer defense line of the fortress and approached the inner wall." Vito walked on the rostrum. He walked on the high platform with his eyes Lilith continued to stare at the people in the audience, standing behind him with her hands behind her back without saying a word. Only Vito continued to narrate, "The rebellious bishop thus fell further into chaos. In order to protect himself, he dedicated the entire world to the Chaos God. He invited the rebellious space warriors, chaos demons and the power of destruction to descend on the planet, betraying the light of the Emperor."

Vito's words immediately aroused the indignation of the clergy of the state religion above. They stood up and raised their rosaries and holy words in their hands and shouted, "Heretics! The will of the Emperor must be implemented! Punish them!"

The young sisters among the battle sisters also stood up. They were wearing power armor and were full of anger. They immediately applied the anger of the Emperor to these shameless traitors and purified everything on the planet with the flamethrower's fire.

But Vito raised his hand to signal them to be quiet. Under the giant claws of the emperor's golden armor, the hall fell silent again. He looked around and raised his head to stand on the high platform. "We will punish the traitors and make them pay the price they deserve, but this is not the end of everything, but just the beginning. This is not only about Vlasov's loyalty, but also closely related to the survival of the entire empire." After Vito said this, he nodded behind him. Lilith immediately walked to the podium and pressed a button. Immediately, a holographic star map of a star region was projected next to Vito. On it, there were galaxies and brilliant stars, and dense starlight intertwined, from which many name scales emerged. Vlasov star was suspended in the center of the map, surrounded by satellites and stars in the galaxy, but as Vito stretched his finger back and pulled it suddenly, the entire star map quickly switched to the Milky Way size, and the brilliant Milky Way appeared on the podium, and the huge crack across the Milky Way on one side immediately attracted Bell's attention. The learned son of Guilliman recognized it immediately, and the astropaths around him screamed immediately. Their faces were bandaged, and their blind eyes seemed to see it. Everyone screamed in terror, and Bell stood up with the data board in his hand.

He stood on the steps and frowned at the star map. Cole below also stood up. He also recognized the crack almost immediately. He was very familiar with it. All naval officers knew it very well.

"The Eye of Terror appeared on the east side of the Milky Way?" Bell asked in surprise, but it was not Vito who answered him, but Cole below. He looked at the star map on the podium that he knew by heart. He looked to the north and saw the real crack. It was still there, just like every moment for millions of years.

"No, that is not the Eye of Terror, but a new Warp rift!" Cole's words immediately caused an exclamation. Eisenstein and Loken beside him frowned at each other, the navy captains also whispered to each other, and the clergy of the state religion became hysterical.

"Divine punishment! The Emperor is punishing us!" Someone raised the Holy Word in his hand and shouted hysterically, which aroused the agreement of the surrounding state clergy. Words about doomsday, disaster and punishment suddenly filled the air, and the whole hall was engulfed in chaos and fear.

The priests of the Mechanicus looked at each other, communicating in binary language that ordinary people could not understand, while the nuns below looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone approached the head sister holding a small statue of the Emperor, "Head sister, we must release the Emperor's wrath immediately! His will must be implemented, and the day of judgment has come"

"Enough!" Vito roared, his voice was like the roar of thunder, and like lightning jumping in the storm, instantly calming everyone present, and suppressing all the chaos present with his own voice.

Everyone looked at Vito, who stood beside the star map of the big rift and raised his head, "This is Abaddon's purpose! He and the Power of Destruction created this rift and nourished it with fear and despair, so it will grow, expand, and devour all the worlds along the way until it connects with the Eye of Terror and tears the entire galaxy apart." Vito walked on the podium, his eyes looking at the people on the steps, and the power claw in his hand was raised to sweep them, "Your fear is exactly what the evil god wants. The more people look at the rift and fall into desperate panic, the more emotional nutrients that the evil god relies on for survival will be sucked into the rift, and it will continue to expand! Until it can't be stopped." Vito stopped, he stood on it in a tall golden armor, and golden lightning jumped out of his body while he spoke. The clergy fell silent. They stood on the steps and looked at the tall giant in front of them with everyone. He stood on the podium and pointed his finger at the galaxy hologram behind him. "I shouldn't have told you this truth, because your fear will play into the evil god's hands, but I still told you because I believe in you. The Emperor personally found me last night and conveyed this news to me. He asked me to tell you!" When they heard the Emperor's name, all the battle sisters who were closest to the rostrum looked up. They held the faith pendant on their chests tightly, and held the Emperor's statue necklace tightly, looking at him with incomparable respect and excitement. Vito looked at them, and looked at the head nun who stood up among them, then nodded affirmatively and looked at the rest of the steps, "Yes, the Emperor asked me to tell you this truth, because he believes in you, he believes in the Empire, the proud descendants of mankind will not succumb to the fear of Chaos."

"We will fight! I will be here with you, defeat Chaos in Vlasov, drive them out of this star field, let the light of hope shine on all the worlds around, and everyone in the world will know that we have not lost yet, and the Empire's counterattack has just begun."

Vito spoke with a passionate voice, and his words seemed to reveal an irresistible passion. Cole felt a ball of fire burning in his heart, dispelling all the desperate coldness. The fire brought strength, a ball of fire called hope.

Anna beside him also stood up, and Ragnar and Lancelot on her side also stood up, followed by Olaf and more people on the steps behind them. They all stood up under the trend of the flames in their hearts and looked at the source of the fire on the rostrum, the man who benefited it.

"The news of Vlasov's victory will spread across the galaxy like wildfire, and the fire of hope will burn in the hearts of all the imperials. They will understand that the light of the Emperor has never been extinguished! Hope will replace fear, and it will burn until the sparks spread! The evil gods and their lackeys will not get despair here with humans, they will only get bombs and shells fired in the name of the Emperor!" Vito raised his iron fist high. He stood there, wearing the Emperor's armor. Cole looked at him, as if the Emperor himself was standing there talking to them. "The fire of hope will be rekindled, and the one who ignited it is you! Now, everyone come back and tear down the illegal building with me! Starting from Vlasov! Do you understand?" Vito shouted loudly, but no one responded to him for a while. Everyone stood there and looked at him, "Do you understand?!" "Understood!" This time they gave him a roar, and the whole hall was filled with passionate roars. Fear was completely dispelled, and the fire of hope burned in everyone's chest, giving them the strength and courage to release the angry shout. "Then return to your posts, in the name of the Emperor!"

"All-Father! Hear me roar!" Ragnar spread his arms and roared. He turned around and strode towards the exit first. Lancelot beside him also nodded to Vito fiercely and followed with his sword. In an instant, the whole hall was filled with footsteps, and the footsteps of those wearing power armor and those without armor were mixed together.

Everyone walked to the exits around to convey the order of the Empire's counterattack. Cole walked to the rostrum with the crowd. He raised his head and looked up at Vito above. After the two looked at each other, the captain turned and walked to the door on the side. From now on, the Empire's counterattack officially began.

And Vito turned and walked to Lilith after watching Cole leave. The latter spread his palm, and the holographic communicator in it quickly lit up. A holographic image appeared in front of Vito, which was a bust of two people.

Vito first looked at the man in black clothes on the left. He had short black hair and wore a breastplate under a windbreaker that was open in the middle. "Judge Hossenst, lead all the storms you can find." The commandos attack the starport and control the land airport within three hours, where my transport aircraft formation will land."

"Yes, Marshal." Hossenst nodded to Vito. He then raised his hand to signal to the other person beside him. He stood there silently, with only the sound of deep breathing coming from the filter. "Sir, please allow me to introduce you. This is Marshal Bart of the Death Legion Expeditionary Force."

Vito nodded slightly, and then glanced at the silent man wearing a gas mask. "Generalissimo, I ordered the Krieg Death Army to advance to the city wall before dawn tomorrow. Can you do it?"

"Sir, there is a vast open space in front of the city wall. A direct attack will cause serious casualties..."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Before Hossenst finished speaking, Krieg's marshal spoke and gave Vito a reply without any hesitation. His invisible face under the gas mask showed no hesitation at the death order.

"The Krieg Death Legion will fulfill its mission for the Emperor."
