Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 461 Resurrection from the Fire: A Bizarre Adventure in the Demon Realm of Khorne

If you want to sum up the Demon Realm of Khorne in one sentence, it would be fire and iron, plus a lot of blood.

It seems that the entire world is made of steel and fire. Majestic and tall fortresses stand in every corner of the earth. Even the tall black mountains are lined with towers, fortresses and iron city walls between passes.

Fierce fires burned in the ravines in front of those fortresses, and the billowing black smoke and dark clouds rising from the flames reached the sky, covering the entire red earth. There was no sun or moon, and there was only blood-like red in the sky. light.

The red light comes from the unprecedented fortress at the end of the earth. It is huge, from the horizon to the horizon. On both sides of it stand eight tall fortress towers, all of which are inlaid with countless skulls. Blood flows from the holes of those skulls. It flows from the eyes and nostrils and flows down from the fortress.

The flames shined on the blood that fell like a waterfall, and then refracted into the sky and finally illuminated the entire sky. They flowed down from the high walls, and finally merged into the surrounding deep ditches and the rivers of blood on the plains, rushing into In the blood of this whole world, there is the power of violence and the rage of anger.

And the source of all that power comes from the huge brass skull hanging high in the center of the Skull Fortress. The skull is suspended in the air, connected by thousands of iron cables and bound to the top of the fortress. It releases endless power and will Anger, drive that anger into every part of the realm.

And under that huge skull, there are tall hills piled up with endless pale and brass skulls. They are towering into the clouds and extremely huge. Their size itself is as huge as the mass of an entire planet, and All of that is the foundation for the throne on it.

It was a huge throne. It was located on the top of the Mountain of Skulls. It was almost as huge as a fortress. It had a brass texture all over its body, and the skulls hanging high above its head were hanging on it, with blood falling from all sides. , covering the entire Brass Throne in a waterfall of blood.

Vito looked up at the throne. It was empty now. The giant who was supposed to be sitting on it was not there. "It seems we are lucky. The grumpy guy is not at home."

"Indeed, the Emperor bless you." Olaf stood next to Vito and looked up at the brass throne, while Vito beside him smiled silently. He glanced to his side and stepped on the wall of the cabin, "Emperor Does the emperor protect us? Or is there someone else who protects us?”

Beside him, Lilith stood on a protruding table. She also leaned out and held her chin to look at the throne in the distance. When she saw Vito's gaze, she also showed a funny smile, "Who? You know? Maybe the person who bless you is not that far away, what do you think?”

The two dogs and men looked at each other and smiled, and behind them was the single dog Ragna, or was he a wolf? Anyway, it was almost the same. He held his head high and howled and leaned on the chair behind him. His head was covered with sweat, and he was very irritable due to the unbearable heat.

"Whoever he is, can we get out of here quickly? It's either fire or lava around here. Aren't you hot?" Ragnar stood up and touched his butt, "Damn! My butt is almost ripe! Bell , are you on fire?"

"There is nothing that is not a fire here, Ragnar, so shut up and don't bother me." Bell was also extremely hot. He took off his helmet and put it aside on the passenger seat after Lilith left. The golden His hair was dripping with sweat, and beads of sweat as big as peas were flowing down from his head.

The entire bulkhead around the aerostat is exuding scalding heat, and the surrounding high temperature bakes its hull, turning the inside almost into an oven. Sitting on the chair here is like sitting on the grill, especially The position of the Bell, under its butt is where the engine is.

Bell pressed the steering wheel and kept paying attention to the engine heat value, which was constantly alarming. The thing was already overheated, but it was not hot enough to explode. This machine soul was really unlucky.

Bell deeply felt the great mercy of the Machine Soul. Today, he was first shocked to death, then rushed straight through a crack, and then plunged into the sea of ​​​​fire. Since no one had turned off his phone, he sat down and gave up. Whoever falls in love with whomever falls in love.

Also half-dead from the heat was Olaf, who was probably the hottest. His priest power armor was obviously not designed for such an extremely hot environment. The very practical insulation layer in Fenris, the chapter's hometown, was now fully functional. The opposite effect made him feel like he was wearing a sauna.

Sweat completely wetted Ragnar's beard and hair. He turned his head and glanced at Ragnar who was slumped on the chair and kept exhaling hot air, "Are you okay? My wild wolf brother." "It's not good at all. It's so annoying."

In fact, what is even more unbearable is not only the hot environment, but also the irritability in the heart. The heat makes people extremely irritable and even more irritable, as if there is a nameless anger burning in the heart. Constantly burning, attacking the cage of thoughts, trying to escape from it.

Ragnar's mind kept echoing with fragmentary whispers, most of which were vague but quite human. It was like adding firewood to his already irritable heart, making Ragnar particularly manic.

"Ah! Is there anything you can kill for me?" Ragnar leaned back on the chair and pulled out the power ax and held it in his hand, while Vito glanced at him, "Have you already got Khorne in your head so quickly?" Damn Khorne, if he were on the broken throne, I would jump out and hit him on the head with an axe!"

Ragnar roared and waved the battle ax feebly. The previous vomiting and diarrhea and the current hot environment made the lively wild wolf cub no longer able to jump up, and turned into a sickly one, paralyzed on the ground. status.

He turned towards Vito and raised the ax, then smashed it to the ground, "Didn't I say you are not hot? And Lilith, how come you two didn't even shed a drop of sweat?"

"What? You want to see me sweating all over? What's so good about smelling so bad?" Lilith turned around and said with a smile, while Ragna slumped on the chair and giggled, "I heard that beautiful girls come out. The sweat is fragrant and can be used as perfume.”

"What are you talking about? Are you Loken?" Vito leaned on the side and looked behind Ragnar with a smile. Loken, who was also sweating, also walked up. He pressed on the edge of the cabin and looked out. Go and look around at the surrounding environment, Vito is lying on the side smiling.

"How about it? Do you have a desire to chop people, or a strange desire to collect skulls?" "I'm fine, Vito, thank you."

Loken spoke with hot breath coming out of his mouth. He was so hot that he was almost dead. There was sweat everywhere from his forehead to his neck. He shook his head and immediately sweated like rain, and then looked around.

"It seems that we haven't been discovered yet. Judge Lilith, you know the way, right?" "Of course." "Then shouldn't you lead the way for Bell? Take us away before Ragnage decides to kill people. "

Loken showed no emotion when facing the collar of the corset that he had specially untied, which made Lilith roll her eyes boredly, then she jumped down and put the sunglasses on her head and walked over to Bell.

Loken looked at her back, and Whisker frowned, "I know her butt is very sexy, right? What do you think, Ragna." Vito bumped Loken with his shoulder in an inappropriate way, and then said Looking back, Ragna, who was slumped behind, raised his head, looked at Lilith's hips twisting as she walked and raised her thumb.

But Loken was obviously different from these two perverts. His attention was not on that. The company commander glanced at Vito and frowned, "Lilith, you're not a human, right?"

Vito was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Loken with a strange smile, "Why do you ask?" "It's so hot, she didn't even sweat a drop." "She is the inquisitor, and she is under the skin like me. Implants have no sweat glands, so of course they won’t sweat?”

Vito shrugged, leaned aside and looked with Loken at Lilith, who climbed into the passenger seat and sat on Bell's helmet to guide the way, "Bell, drive that way, yes, right here."

Bell nodded slightly, turned the steering wheel and let the speed attack boat drive down the hillside and along the edge of a vast volcanic sea that was constantly erupting pillars of fire. He drove on a narrow road on the edge of the charred land.

The speed attack boat drove past there, but above the road, on the top of several giant pillars on the rocks, the fingers of the gargoyle statue sitting there suddenly moved, and the closed eyes opened instantly, His blood-red eyes stared at the speed attack boat passing below.

But the people in the ship didn't know it yet. Luo Den looked at Lilith and frowned, "She is not affected by the power of Khorne, not at all. Is this related to the implant?"

Vito glanced at Loken, "I'm not affected either, and neither are you, right?" "No, I am, but I can still control it, but she is a mortal, and we cannot speak the same language, and even if she is Start, look at Ragnar."

After Loken said that, Vito glanced at the cursing Ragnar behind him. He was cordially greeting the eighteen generations of ancestors from Khorne to Slaanesh, although he may not have realized that they did not have eighteen generations of ancestors.

"Perhaps it's because of extraordinary talents? There are cases of mortals resisting the corruption of Chaos." "Are those mortals also standing directly in the Evil God's Demon Realm, and there is still no change at all?"

Loken asked, and Vito fell silent immediately. He glanced at the people around him and thought for a moment, then looked at Lilith, "She understands subspace, so well, as if this is really her home." "She is a demon judge. Shouldn't these be her jobs?" "Understanding and familiarity are two different concepts, and she even surpasses the latter, as if she was born here."

Loken gradually frowned. He stared at Lilith in front of him, and glanced at Vito beside him. "She is not human, Vito, what on earth is she?"

The two looked at each other. Silence, no, dead silence, gradually enveloped the airship. Their conversation was not heard by others. Loken specially lowered his voice. He deliberately kept only himself and Vito You can hear a series of conversations just now.

"Are you hiding something, right? You are disguising her identity. You have deceived everyone. I want to know why?" Loken continued to ask, but Vito did not speak. He just stood there, facing Loken. Watching, the latter gradually frowned, the suspicion in his heart gradually increased, and the guess gradually approached the dangerous answer.

But suddenly, Loken's thoughts were interrupted. The conversation was interrupted by a fireball passing overhead. Loken and Vito looked up at the fireball flying overhead at the same time. It hit the bow of the ship. On the ground, a stream of fire instantly rose.

Bell turned the steering wheel sharply and let the aerostat fly quickly around the exploding fireball. The sudden swing threw Ragna to the ground. The wolf howled softly and climbed up from there, " Bell! Have you watched Vito’s collection of ancient Terran films?”

"We have company." Bell said, looking back outside the open cabin. Ragnar also raised his hand and looked up to see the gargoyles flying in the air. The flying demon of Khorne was holding a lava cannon and flapping its wings. Following closely behind the hull, the leading demon fired another shot.

The fire bombs whizzed and shot directly at the Land Speeder. If Bell hadn't turned the steering wheel in time, they would have been hit.

The speeder slid to the side to avoid the fire bombs, but also flew out from the slope on the side and landed heavily on the ground, causing the cabin to shake. Vito and Loken stood in the cabin to stabilize their bodies, and Ragnar also stood up with the help of a chair.

"Damn it! Lily, didn't you say we wouldn't be discovered if we came through that crack?" "I meant not to be discovered by Khorne, not by his pets." Lilith stood up, her hands on her hips, her legs apart, and stood on both sides of Bell's helmet. When the fire bombs shot over her head, they illuminated her silver hair.

She looked up at the fire meteors above, then lowered her head to look at the people in the cabin, and then pointed at the gargoyles in the sky, "Okay, guys, get to work, you've been bragging here for long enough, and, weren't you just clamoring to kill something?"

"That's right, hey! You ugly flying things! Come closer, I'll show you a big treasure!" Ragnar roared and pulled out the grenade launcher, he raised it and aimed it at the air and fired two shots.

"Get rid of them first, then talk, how about that?" Vito pulled out his bolter and asked Loken. After a moment of silence, the latter also pulled out his gun. He pulled the bolt to let the bolt slide into the chamber, turned around and shot a gargoyle, and the monster fell from the air.

Vito smiled, raised his gun and stood in the cabin, aiming at the sky outside and firing. The bolts whizzed away, shooting at the gargoyles chasing the airship in the air. Ragnar, Loken and Vito's guns kept roaring and flashing, knocking down several gargoyles in the air.

And those monsters also responded quickly. They were no longer just following the airship. The flying demons, shaking their huge wings, kept changing their positions in the air, flying over the left and right sides of the airship, and kept firing downwards.

Fire bombs hit both sides of the hull, constantly splashing flames. Bell drove the airship and kept dodging. He kept avoiding the firepower in front of him, which also slowed down the speed of the airship because of dodging, causing the gargoyles to gradually catch up with the airship.

The monster with trembling wings roared down from the air, waving his claws and attacking the cabin. Vito raised his hand and shot at the monster. A bomb shattered its face. The monster rolled and fell into the cabin. Its shattered face was still howling and not dead.

But it was only a moment. The heavy armored iron foot slammed its head and smashed it. The old wolf Olaf raised his head and lightning flashed in his eyes. He suddenly hit his hands forward, and the lightning instantly struck between the gargoyles, blowing the flying monster into broken stones.

The falling rocks poured down and hit the airship all around, causing a clanging roar. More and more gargoyles appeared from the surrounding airspace and rushed over. They surrounded the airship and kept rushing down like dive bombers, tearing the armor of the hull with their claws.

The friction and tearing sounds of steel continued one after another, and sparks erupted from both sides along with the constant vibration of the hull. They were caused by the gargoyles flying down from both sides and hitting the airship. They cleverly avoided the shooting range in the cabin and chose to attack from both sides.

A claw tore through the armor on one side, and the ferocious face of the gargoyle in the gap roared outside. Vito raised his hand and shot at the gap. The monster's head was pierced by the explosive and flew backwards, fell to the ground, rolled backwards and smashed on a rock.

Vito looked around at the ramming bulkheads on both sides, changed the magazine and looked at Bell, "Bell! I'll drive the boat, you're in charge of the left side, Ragnar and Loken are in charge of the right side, Olaf is in the middle! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

After Vito said that, Bell stood up immediately, and Vito threw the loaded grenade launcher to him, then jumped into the seat from his side and held the rudder tightly. He pushed down the lever in an instant, quickly lit up several buttons around, and then suddenly pressed the rudder.

The airship suddenly accelerated, and the magnetic engine below instantly released a lightning strike on the ground. The Rand airship passed over the surface at the same lightning speed, whistling forward with a pile of dust, and behind it, the gargoyles were still chasing closely.

The flying gargoyles fired at the bow, and a fire bomb hit the bow, instantly erupting a piece of lava. Vito turned the steering wheel sharply, letting the speedboat drift from the spot in front of it, and rushed out with the bow facing the slope on the side.

The speedboat leaped out, and then instantly landed on a charred surface. With a take-off and landing, it rushed out instantly, and the gargoyles behind it immediately caught up.

Vito drove the airship over the charred ground. There were jet nozzles protruding from the surface everywhere around, and they erupted molten lava from them. The rising fire instantly engulfed several gargoyles, and the rest were forced to scatter around the constantly surging lava fountains.

This reduced the firepower pressure of Olaf and others in the cabin. Lightning jumped again in the old wolf's eyes, and instantly shot an arc into the air. The two gargoyles that swooped down instantly exploded into flying rubble. They fell from both sides, smashing on the surrounding land.

Among the falling rubble, Bell jumped onto the bulkhead on one side. After the lava erupted from the side, several gargoyles emerged. They roared and came back towards the aerospace craft, while Bell instantly lifted out the explosive bomb. He aimed his gun at the monsters and fired several shots in succession. He shot them to the ground with headshots. One of them rolled into the crater and was instantly swallowed up by the spewing lava.

Bell's marksmanship was extremely superb. He kept aiming and shooting. The Ultramarines raised their guns and fired in the direction of the air, accurately hitting the high-speed flying gargoyles. They fell one by one and quickly cleared the side of the ship. threaten.

"Ragnar! Loken! Squat down!" Bell yelled and turned the muzzle of the gun to the side. Loken and Ragnar who were there squatted down without a moment's hesitation. Bell aimed in front of them and pulled the trigger. , the rotating bullets shattered the two gargoyles rushing from above.

The broken rocks smashed into the cabin and jingled on Loken's shoulder pads. He raised his head and nodded to Bell, "Thank you, brother."

"You nerd, well done!" Ragnar laughed, tossed up his burly hair and beard, grabbed the power ax and swung it into the air, the lightning blade instantly shattered the ax that swooped down from above his head. The next gargoyle fell, the monster's head broke off from its neck and flew out, spinning and falling to the ground in the cockpit.

Lilith looked at the ferocious gargoyle head on the ground, her eyes full of disgust, "Hey, it's really ugly, but my gargoyle is more beautiful, right?"

"Where is the rift?" Vito asked, turning the steering wheel to avoid the small volcano erupting in front of him. He quickly turned the steering wheel left and right, causing the Rand Aerospacecraft to dodge left and right, avoiding the pillars of fire that were constantly erupting in front of him.

Lilith put her hands on the countertop in front of her, holding her chin and looking at Vito, "Why are you anxious? Your life is not short, so why are you anxious?"

"Lily." Vito asked sternly, turning his hands quickly to make the aerostat turn over the suddenly erupting volcano. Lilith's little head shook and she shrugged, "Okay, over there ”

Lilith pointed to a valley not far away. Vito looked where he was, and instantly turned the steering wheel to turn the speed attack boat in that direction. Then he stepped on the accelerator and rushed quickly. The hull quickly flicked its tail, and missiles were shot out from the cabin behind. The explosive bomb also threw out a bright arc.

Vito drove the speed attack boat across the flaming volcano. The pillars of fire rising from both sides illuminated the entire hull. The recently erupted volcano even burned the outside of the hull red, and the inside was even more like the inside of a cauldron. Extremely hot.

"Vito! I'm ready!" "If you can speak, it proves that you're not ready yet, so bear with it!"

Vito yelled and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The speedboat rushed out from the edge of the volcano in an instant, and a column of fire erupted from behind. After that, the gargoyles also flapped their wings and roared after them. Come up.

Vito drove the aeroboat and rushed into the valley. He raised his head and looked at the gargoyles chasing behind him, then looked around at the towering rocks and shouted, "Old wolf! Blow this place down!"

Olaf carried out the request without thinking. He slammed his palms in front of his face, and then punched them out to both sides. Lightning instantly bombarded the surrounding rock walls, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated the towering stone walls. They poured down and hit each other. On the ground, while raising large amounts of dust, it also smashed down all the pursuing gargoyles.

They howled and were swallowed up by the collapsing valley, while Vito drove a speed attack boat and rushed through the valley at a high speed. The billowing dust behind them rolled in and was about to engulf them at any time.

Olaf looked at the collapsing valley behind him. The huge broken rocks around him kept falling down, almost cutting off the speed attack boat several times. The falling gravel fell all around, and the loud sound of the landslide echoed outside the cabin.

"Vito! You have to hurry up!" Bell shouted while holding the gun and looking at the falling boulder behind him. Vito behind him pressed the thruster lever and looked at the red rock at the top. In the extreme power zone, "Damn, a dead horse is being treated as a living horse doctor!"

He spoke loudly, released the engine power limit on the interface, and then pushed down the operating lever violently. The engine below him exploded instantly, magnetic lightning shot out in all directions, and the shell surrounding the engine shattered. It fell backwards and rolled into the dust, and beneath it, the wildly rotating magnetic levitation generating ring had released power beyond the limit.

Its surface instantly burned red, but underneath that, the speedboat rushed forward under the drag of lightning, flying out from the end of the valley before it completely collapsed. Behind it, the entire rift valley It was completely submerged in the rubble, and the ejected dust cloud spread in all directions.

The engine of the speed attack boat roared and then exploded. The various components were completely separated and shot out in all directions. This also caused the speed attack boat, which had completely lost control, to rush towards the cliff. Vito turned around suddenly. After turning the steering wheel and swinging the hull sideways, the end of the hull hit the ground.

The entire speed attack craft instantly turned sideways. It hit the ground and rolled several times continuously. It finally hit the ground with a lot of dust and finally stopped before falling off the cliff.

Several people in the cabin were thrown out and rolled on the ground several times before stopping. Vito sat up from the ground and looked around at the other people rolling on the ground behind him, "What can I say, the result is not bad. "

"It's not bad." Ragnar stood up while supporting the overturned speed attack craft. He stuck his head out and glanced at the completely broken engine below. The broken magnetic ring was hanging crookedly, and all the tension was on the ground. on the ground.

"Okay, our ship is gone, how do we get over now?" "Get over here."

As Vito said, he stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff. He stood there and looked down at the dark demon army on the plain in front of the cliff. A Khorne demon army was gathering here, and in front of them was a magnificent Stone portal.

Two huge statues wearing hats and holding swords stood on both sides of the gate, and in the center of the rocky gate, a huge portal flashed. The gate was tall enough to allow the most burly demon engine to pass through it. On the other side of the door, the reflection of the fortress flashed above the mirror.

"Blood God!" "War!" In the demonic tide below the cliff, the language of the subspace roared like a tsunami. The demons of Khorne, like a black tide, banged their weapons and clashed with fine iron. The sound resounded throughout the earth.

"Damn, how are we going to get between these guys?" "Kill them." Vito turned to look at Ragnar and signaled him to stop with a smile, "How to kill? I did a rough count, we Five more people, three guns, an axe, and a few swords. Although I am pretty good, but I may fight tens of thousands of demons, but I still have a small advantage and disadvantage."

Faced with Ragnar's unabashed bragging, Vito also burst out laughing. "We're in a hurry, I'll get them done." He moved his shoulders as he spoke, and Lilith beside him smiled. , stood with one hand on his hips and looked at him with sunglasses on, "You know that if you do something here, Khorne will find you immediately, right?"

"That's right, that's why I said I was in a hurry." He said, holding the sword at his waist and looking towards the end of the cliff below. Olaf walked up. He stood behind Vito and looked down at the Khorne army below. "Do you need our help?"

"No offense, Old Wolf, but unless you three are gods," Vito looked back with a wry smile, and Olaf glanced at the three people behind him, "I understand, then what should we do?"

"Find a good place to sit down, put on your helmet, it will be very, very bright soon, then find a bag of popcorn to hold, and wait for the good show."

"But there's no popcorn here." "Yes, but I know you hid the wine in the boat, so take it out. The boat can't take it with you anyway." "That's true."

Ragna said, reaching out and searching in the boat, he took out a wine bottle. He shook the wine and looked at Vito, "Hurry up, I don't know if there will be any for you by then." One bite.”

"Then hurry up and wait." Vito smiled and jumped off the cliff. Olaf, Loken, and Lilith looked at Vito's disappearing figure, and then were attracted by the sound of the wine bottle being opened.

Ragnar took off the bottle cap with his bare hands, and the white light accompanied by golden lightning in the distance illuminated his face. He raised the bottle and shook it. "Who wants a drink?"
