Warhammer Inquisitor

Cole stood behind the huge French windows on the side of the bridge and looked at the sea of ​​stars outside. The captain had his hands behind his back, and the dark blue navy coat was still standardly worn on him, and the navy curved blade saber on his waist gleamed under the starlight A little gloss.

No, the light is not starlight, but the thruster flames of a large transport ship passing by. Cole looked at the transport starship passing in front of him. The hull was not as big as the Infinity Frontier. The ship is much smaller than the Martian Battlecruiser, roughly one-fifth the length of the Infinity Frontier from end to end.

Orange flames flickered in the night sky, and Cole's blue eyes reflected the passing propellers. As the transport plane in front of him passed by, more transport ships around it were exposed to Cole's vision Down.

Unarmed transport ships sailed around Cole in the night sky. His eyes looked at the civilian transport ships through the French windows of the bridge. Engines push these ships carrying refugees from the borders of the solar system to keep up with the only armed warship that can protect them now.

"Another joined the fleet?" Loken said as he walked over from behind Cole. The captain turned his head and nodded to the Captain of the Shadow Moon Wolf. The latter also smiled and nodded to Cole. Loken naturally Standing beside Cole, he looked out the window at the transport fleet accompanying the sailing.

Cole's eyes turned to the left and looked at the ships on the edge of the fleet. They were two cargo ships, not used to transport people at all, and there were only large warehouse cabins without any comfort guarantees.

But at this juncture of life and death, comfort is not so important, so it is full of refugees. Cole even heard that there are some noble solar system families, and it is really wronged that they are willing to squeeze in a cold warehouse with a group of civilians. up.

"Yes, they came from the Europa space station on Saturn. They hid in the space station when the Death Guard attacked, and then escaped when the Death Guard suspended their attack and began to retreat."

"The Death Guard stopped attacking? That doesn't sound like their style."

Loken said in amazement that the Death Guard in his impression always put the goal as the absolute priority, in order to achieve the goal, they can accept any price, loss and the most brutal attack method, and they will never stop until they win.

Their contempt for life meant that even in the age of the Great Crusade, the Death Guard were not very popular with other Legions, especially mortals.

So during the expedition, Vito transferred the Death Guard away from the expeditionary army, away from other legions to attack all kinds of aliens, and to fight those enemies who do not need to consider "human rights and humanity". I have to say that they did a good job. Their almost ruthless philosophy of killing, and their Primarch's obsession with viral weapons have wiped out countless xenos enemies for the Empire.

And their Primarch Mortarion, Loken still remembered that he had met Mortarion once, he vaguely remembered a time when the Luna Wolves cooperated with them against a kind of alien, Loken still forgot that It was something alien, but he still remembered very clearly the impression Mortarion gave him, that pale, icy gaze that sent chills down Loken's back just by looking at it.

"Yes, it's really strange, but that's the fact. The Death Guard suddenly stopped attacking and retreated, and the refugees took advantage of this opportunity to escape."

Cole looked in the direction of the refugee ship, and Loken also looked in that direction. Captain Cole held his chin and thought about it. After he was silent for a while, he looked around at the universe outside the window.

"In fact, it's more than that. Everything went so smoothly. I thought we would be attacked by the Chaos fleet on the way to Terra, or at least occasionally intercepted and harassed, but no, we haven't even had an enemy ship for so long. I haven't seen it, it's as if Chaos has left the solar system."

"Perhaps it was the Emperor's blessing that we were able to break out of the siege, and we were almost on Terra."

Cole was thinking, and Captain Garviel Loken folded his arms in his arms, thinking about it, but just as the two of them were thinking about this problem, Eisenstein walked up, and the tall Imperial Fist warrior in yellow armor came from the ship. Walking from the inside of the bridge, his height is still so tall, the starry sky and the propelling flames outside the window shone on him, making his huge shadow extremely huge.

Eisenstein walked up to the two of them, and nodded to the captain and Captain Loken. The two of them also paid respects to the commander of Emperor Fist. Eisenstein stood beside Loken and looked out the window. He was standing in the night sky. After looking around, he looked at the two planets in the front of the battleship.

Cole and Loken also followed Eisenstein's eyes. They looked at the two planets, one red and one brown. They hung interlaced in the night sky. From the perspective of the Infinity Frontier, they looked like a pair of planets. The supporting dancers embrace each other and dance together on the orbit of the solar system.

Cole has never been to that planet, but he can recognize their names at a glance, the names that everyone in the empire panorama knows, everyone knows, Mars and Terra.

All three of them looked at the Throne World. They were so far apart that they couldn't actually see the appearance of the home planet of human origin at all. It was like a blurred spot of light shining with holy light in the dark night sky. The sacred light from the Golden Throne shone in the dark night sky, bringing light and hope to the entire empire.

People always say that as long as Terra does not fall, then human civilization will not fall. Cole looked at the planet, and now he knew why those veterans said so.

Eisenstein looked at Cole, and the captain stared at Terra's eyes in a trance, the blue eyes reflected the twinkling light spots of twin stars, "Have you ever been to Terra, Captain."

"No, never." Cole shook his head lightly, but his eyes never moved away from the planet. He stared at the home world, where all human beings can truly be home together.

"But I have always imagined its appearance. When I was a child, I was looking for its position when I looked up at the starry sky. My father told me many stories about Terra. I imagined the appearance of the throne and the appearance of our home planet, like All humans picture our civilized mothers like that in their minds."

"And you will see her soon, Throne World, the father and mother of all human beings." Eisenstein looked at Loken from the corner of his eye as he spoke, and he also looked at the planet, staring at the planet with blue-blue eyes like lake water. That planet, Loken silently walked to the window, and gently placed his hand on the glass.

Eisenstein looked at the ecstatic Loken and was silent for a moment, "You haven't been anywhere either? Have you? Company Commander."

"Well, never, but I have always imagined it like Cole. Hindman once talked to me about Terra, and Calchas read me a poem describing the throne."

Loken looked at the planet fascinated, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath and slowly opened them, his green lake-like eyes stared at the planet he fought for, all space warriors and mortals Soldiers have shed blood and sacrificed for it for tens of thousands of years, looking up to the sky before death, longing to return to her beautiful home after death.

"I joined the Legion when I was young, and I fought for it all my life. I also doubted whether it was worth our blood and sacrifice for her, but when I saw her, I knew that our sacrifices were meaningful. "

"You will be able to set foot on her soon, brother, and set foot on our homeland." Eisenstein walked to Loken and held his shoulder and said, the company commander of the Shadow Moon Wolf nodded sincerely to him As a token of thanks.

Cole also let out a long sigh of relief looking at the two fighters. He looked in Natera's direction and showed a smile, but suddenly Anna's voice sounded beside him.

"Captain, Vito is back." Anna shouted from the inside of the bridge not far away, and Cole immediately turned his head to look at Anna standing in the shadows and frowned slightly, "He's back? Faster than I thought , where is he?"

"It's already in the hangar, I think you have to pick him up, right?" Anna said with her hips akimbo, that seductive waistline looked so perfect in the shadow, and the fiery red hair was shining even more faintly It looks both psychedelic and has a unique charm.

But apparently, the three men in front of her didn't notice the beauty, Space Marines weren't interested in women, and Cole presumably, as always, immediately turned his attention to work.

"The two company commanders." Cole looked at the two people beside him and said, Eisenstein turned around and nodded to Cole affirmatively, "Come on, we have to meet the marshal and keep up."

As he spoke, Eisenstein walked past Anna with strides. The tall giant walked past the beautiful first mate with heavy steps, and Loken followed closely behind and walked past from the other side. Anna watched with one hand on his hip. Cole, who was walking up, smiled, and the latter cleared his throat, nodded solemnly to Anna, and walked over.

Anna glanced at Cole, who was walking away quickly, and sighed helplessly. After waving her hands, she walked towards the control area of ​​the bridge. The fiery red-haired female first officer looked at Terra in the night sky, that beautiful star, perhaps Is there any place up there that Cole would like to hang out for a while? Like the hall of honor or something?

Cole followed Eisenstein and Loken to the hangar deck. Not only Cole knew about this ship, but the two company commanders were already familiar with this route. up the deck.

Eisenstein and Loken stepped onto the deck. Bell, who had already arrived here, turned his head to look at the two. After he nodded to the two company commanders, the two also walked to his side and watched the descending silver Skyhawk together with him.

Cole also walked among them. The captain's hair and the end of his military coat were swaying behind the Aquila's vector nozzle. He looked at the exquisite shuttle slowly falling from mid-air, inside the hangar The light shone on its surface, shining like silver water droplets.

The Aquila landed slowly, the flames at the end of the vector nozzle were burning on the deck, and with the huge airflow spreading around, its landing gear fell to the ground, and slowly lifted after the heavy landing gear landed , Skyhawk also completely landed on the ground.

Eisenstein's eyes looked at the hatch that fell slowly. A door fell from the silver fuselage from a place that was completely smooth without any sign of gaps. The landing hatch slowly dropped to the ground , accompanied by a crisp clanging sound, a person stepped down from it.

"Hello, everyone, have you eaten?" Vito came down rubbing his neck from above, and asked a very outrageous question at this scene and at this point in time without any surprise.

"Vito, do you think your question is a bit stupid when we broke out from the edge of the solar system and may be attacked by chaos at any time?" Cole asked speechlessly with his hands in his arms, and Vito shrugged his shoulders. It doesn't matter.

"Then what do you think I should ask? You are still alive, and there are many refugee fleets outside. Doesn't this prove that I have nothing to ask?"

"Besides, I guess that the Chaos Fleet should temporarily withdraw to the outer positions of the solar system. We can swagger and go to Terra like a tourist."

Vito said as he got off the Skyhawk. He stood at the door of the cabin and stretched his waist. Although he looked relaxed and seemed to have gone for a walk in the park, Bell was still keenly aware of something. He saw Eye Skyhawk.

"You repelled the Chaos main fleet, right? That's why we didn't encounter any Chaos enemy ships, and because of that heavy loss, Abaddon withdrew all the fleets from the battlefield to avoid encountering you again."

Bell said, several people looked at Vito after looking at each other, Bell frowned and watched Vito slightly lower his head, "How did you do it? Against the entire fleet? Or should I ask, you What the hell was found on the bottom of Europa?"

Vito raised his arms, still stretching. He looked at Bell who was silent for a moment and then glanced at Omega and Coul who were walking towards him. The huge footsteps of the latter were quite eye-catching.

"Believe me, Bell, it's good that you don't know about that stuff, at least for the time being." Vito said softly and lowered his arms, but the answer obviously didn't satisfy Bell, but he was loved just as he was about to ask something. Senstein raised his arm to stop him, and Captain Imperial Fist looked at Vito.

"What about your order? Marshal, what shall we do now?"

"To Terra, but before that, we've got to go to Mars and send our octopus friends back to their happy home, where they've got a lot to do."

Vito said and pointed to Omega and Cole who were walking towards one side, Cole and several space fighters looked to the side, while Vito went straight up and patted Cole on the shoulder, "Set the course and go Mars, in addition to sending them there, I guess the Infinity Frontier also needs to replenish ammunition, doesn't it?"

Cole looked at Vito and nodded after hesitating for a moment. Vito patted him on the shoulder with a laugh and then walked past him. He walked towards the exit of the hangar, and when he passed in front of Cole, he even gestured to him. Thumbs up, the latter watched Vito laugh with a strange electric laugh.

Cole and the three space fighters turned to look at Vito who was walking away. Captain Cole and Eisenstein looked at Vito in surprise and shouted at Vito, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"Dinner, I haven't eaten a bite of food since yesterday morning, I'm starving to death." Vito said as he walked into the corridor outside the deck, his figure quickly disappeared into it, and after he left, Cole and The several Astartes looked at each other and shrugged.
