Warhammer Inquisitor

To be honest, seeing his own statue standing in front of him always has a very strange feeling. Vito now understands why the Emperor hates erecting statues of himself everywhere. The person who erected it probably doesn’t feel much. , I still feel that it is respect and belief, but the person who is erected by the statue feels different when looking at it.

Vito stood with his arms akimbo in front of his statue, and he looked at the majestic statue, on which he was holding a flying banner, pointing the battle flag straight to the sky, and holding a roaring chainsword in the other hand Drooping by his side, his head turned to the back and shouted something to the statues following behind him.

Vito looked at the face of his own statue. He looked at the statue calmly, without pride, embarrassment, or any unnecessary reaction, because he didn't know the person on the statue. The face was indeed his, but the expression The feeling revealed is completely different from that of Vito.

He looked at the statue, the majestic, stalwart statue was silent, just like all the statues of emperors and primarchs, it has been piled up with the expectations of human beings for ten thousand years. The fantasies of those legendary characters are all piled up on these statues.

It is a statue that gathers all the beautiful fantasies of human beings, all the desires, a god, a statue of the gods they created, a person who never existed, that is who they are in people's minds, not themselves .

Vito looked at the statue and heaved a long sigh, which was not beyond his expectation. Although the Inquisition was much better than the statue built for him in the Church of the State Religion and the Star Militia Army, at least the face was still his own face. , instead of being infinitely beautified into an appearance that he himself would not be able to recognize without looking at the nameplate of the statue.

But the Tribunal, during these ten thousand years, still kept their fantasies about themselves. In this dark galaxy, the judges faced all these terrible enemies and the truth. Their hearts longed for redemption, and a great hope was born. , a hope for their creator, who is still walking in the world today.

They awakened everything about Vito, and integrated their longing and longing into the statue. They longed for a stalwart leader, one who was always right, who could lead them by raising the eagle flag high in the dark galaxy as shown in the statue. They are hopeless, great leaders who achieve victory.

But that was not him, Vito looked at the statue and remained silent, he knew that the judges, no, it was what human beings were longing for, they longed for a god, a god who never made mistakes and was always right, this statue was why Vito The reason why they have never directly ruled the empire for so many years is that the self they long for is not the real self, and they cannot be like that, a god.

"My lord, don't you like this statue?" Angwa, the leader of the trial court, came up from one side. He stood behind Vito and asked softly. The leader of the faith turned his head, Vito looked at Angvar behind him and was silent for a moment.

He raised his eyes to look at the judges behind him. They were all wearing different clothes, some were wearing trench coats, some were wearing leather jackets or loose coats, but each of them wore an Angwa The same Judgment Chamber logo, the blood red i letter logo.

Vito looked down at the Inquisition logo on his waist, he raised his head after a silent sigh, "It's nothing, the statue is pretty good, this is the person you think we need?"

Vito said as he walked down the steps in front of the statue, he walked up to Angvar and asked, the latter nodded affirmatively and looked at the judges in front of him, "Yes, my lord, these are all currently in the solar system The high-ranking inquisitors in the country, as well as the Grand Inquisitors of the Tribunal in Terra, I have told them your identity and your plan."

"We are happy to help, my lord, for your sake." A young judge standing in front of Vito's side said excitedly with boundless enthusiasm. Vito looked at him and saw what almost seemed to be fanatical belief in his eyes. He was very young, and Vito could tell that he had not joined the Inquisition for a long time. The fire of faith in his heart was still strong, and that flame had also turned into fanaticism because of his return.

Vito looked at the judges here, they were all similar, everyone's eyes were burning with the fire of courage and faith, just like the enthusiasm of the believers of the state religion when they died for the emperor, and that enthusiasm was just What Vito doesn't like is that they regard themselves as gods, a god who has come back to the world.

"I believe you will, Eva, it looks like you have brought all the big names from the Assassin family." Vito smiled and looked at Eva, the current Assassin family master. The broken projection screen on the Infinite Frontier is much clearer and more intuitive.

She was wearing a dark red bodysuit, which was completely attached to her body like the skin, perfectly setting off what could be called a perfect figure curve, even Vito had to give her figure full marks.

But believe me, you won't have any unreasonable thoughts about her, especially when you see the two scimitars on her waist, the sharp blades hang behind her in a unique way, The two blades with several small single-hooked serrated blades were not inserted into the scabbard, but were directly hung behind her through a magnetic lock.

If Eva wanted to, the master assassin could pull out the cutting machete and cut off your head before the nerve arc completes the circuit before your brain sends out the first reaction nerve. The sharp serrations on the blade are completely for killing Designed.

Not only that, there are several liquid hoses connected to her arms, those thin hoses filled with nerve venom are connected to the sharp claws on her palm, and the purple nerve venom is flowing on the sharp edge of the claws , shimmering in the light that makes people feel chills on the back.

This makes her whole body exude an uneasy atmosphere, so you don't want to sleep with her, and if she will sleep with you, she will also slit your throat when you are happy. Or take your heart out, and watch you die with a cold face, without any emotion.

"Yes, master, the masters of all sects are here." Eva said and turned her head slightly behind her. The edge of the skull mask on her face was turning with tiny sawtooth, and the mechanical structure under the mask was working. Made her red eyes extra sparkly.

Vito followed her eyes and looked behind her. There were several assassins standing behind her. They were male and female, but they all exuded the same creepy cold aura as Eva.

Those assassins wearing different assassin costumes, masks, and weapons stood in a corner of the hall. They stood scattered, some stood on the floor of the hall, and some stood with excellent balance in a narrow pipe or On the stone steps, it seems that everyone here is considering that they can disperse instantly at any time, and let the blood of the people here be splashed on the spot before any attack occurs.

They stood silently on the side without making a sound, just like phantom ghosts, but their existence alone was enough to make people feel uneasy, making the atmosphere here extremely cold and chilling.

Vito looked at them, their masks were different, and each unique mask and equipment represented a school of assassins, and through those masks, Vito did it until everyone arrived, Callidus, Culisas, Vindicar, Iverson, Wennum, Vannus, the master assassins of the six sects have all arrived.

"Very good, then I won't chat nonsense, I think everyone knows what we are going to do, right?" Vito said and looked at the people in front of him, and everyone nodded silently to Vito, no Any nonsense, they gave Vito a clear reply.

Vito nodded slightly, then looked at Angvar next to him, "Tell me about the situation, what is the current situation of Terra?"

"Of order, Master." Angvar said and waved his hand, and soon a few servo skulls flew out as his arm swung. They surrounded Vito and Angvar, and green fluorescence came from their eye sockets Shot out, the projected rays of light converging from different angles quickly gathered and formed a hologram of Terra's planet.

The three-dimensional Terra made of light floated in front of Vito. Looking at the hologram of Terra in front of him, he put his hands behind his back and nodded to Angvar, "Let's get started."

"As you wish, my lord." Angwa said and turned to look at the hologram in front of him. The judges and assassins were all standing around, looking at the huge image of the planet floating in the center of the hall together. Following Angwa Wa's finger clicked, and the image changed rapidly.

"Then let's start from space, after all, it is Terra's first line of defense." Angvar clicked on the hologram in front of him, and with the touch of his finger, the orbit of Terra planet Circles of red rings appeared on the ground, and fleets of fleets gathered on those red defense line marks, and countless small red dots gathered to form the main body of the defense line.

Angvar's fingers quickly clicked in front of him, and the names of those battleships quickly appeared from the light spots one by one, and the flashing nameplates appeared on the side of the battleships one by one. Vito looked at the battleships floating in the orbit of the planet, he He frowned slightly.

"The number of fleets is smaller than I expected."

"That's right, my lord, although the representatives of the high lords of the Imperial Navy tried their best to whitewash the peace and promised that the fleet to defend Terra was more than enough, but our agents in the Admiralty reported that in fact, the defense of Terra required The number of warships is not even half."

Angvar clicked on the corner of the star field with his finger, and with his finger pulled out slightly, Terra's star map quickly shrank and converged on the corner of the entire holographic image, and soon appeared on the entire image The coordinates of several star regions in the solar star field, and each star region was engulfed in blood red.

The blood-red ocean almost covered the entire periphery of Terra, and layers of blood waves turned the entire solar system into an isolated island, surrounded by endless wars on the innermost side.

"The main force of the Solar Fleet was sent out by the Admiralty when Chaos launched an offensive on the periphery. Our department insiders said that at the beginning, the Admiralty believed that Chaos' attack on the solar system must first capture the outer galaxies. , You can only enter the department after breaking through the defense line, so the fleet was sent out to support the outer theater."

"But the embarrassing thing is that the main fleet of Chaos jumped directly, bypassing all the preset defense lines and entering the solar system." Vito said while standing on the steps with his hands behind his back, Angwa turned his head and glanced at Vito Nodding silently, he turned his head and sighed, looking at the blood-red star map in front of him.

"We don't know how the traitors did it for the time being, but they did catch the Empire by surprise. All the main forces of the Solar Fleet have left Terra. The Chaos assault destroyed the remaining in Terra. As for the remaining warships, after the first wave of assault is over, there are not many remaining units of the Sun Fleet."

Angwa looked up to the outside of the star map, the blood-red solar star field battlefield, the densely packed battle zone was completely connected, and even covered half of the Milky Way, "The Navy and the Star Language Institute are In desperation, they tried to get in touch with the outer fleets, and they asked the outer fleets to return to defense at all costs, but in fact this was impossible, not to mention that the warp space storm cut off all routes, and now the outer fleets are also fighting against the Chaos army. Made a ball."

As he said that, the current Grand Master of the Tribunal pointed to the star map above his head. Vito raised his eyes and looked over. A large bat logo appeared on the red star map, which symbolized the symbol of a terrifying traitor force.

"According to reports from the judges who have continued to fight on the periphery and have taken over the Imperial fleet, the Night Lords rebel legion is on the outskirts of the solar system, although fortunately, the white scars and the Raven Guard's hunting group have also arrived Beyond the periphery, the space fighters are engaged in a cosmic pursuit battle with the traitors."

"However, these terrifying army of bloodthirsty bats slaughtered the galaxies around the entire solar system. Planets were slaughtered one by one. Before we completely lost contact with the outer periphery, we got a list of more than a dozen planets that were slaughtered. .”

"The Midnight Lords are not just creating panic. In fact, the massacres are carried out in an orderly manner. Through fixed-point and orderly massacres, they cooperated with the Chaos Mages of the Thousand Sons to enhance the warp space storm and created tens of billions of casualties. A superstorm that engulfed the entire solar system and spread across several subsectors cut off Terra from all other parts of the Empire."

As Angvar spoke, he pulled the star map back to the direction of Terra, and the hologram of the Throne World re-occupied the entire screen, but now it seems that the planet is more like an isolated island surrounded by a large group of piranhas, and The kind that could end at any moment.

But the judges and assassins around Vito were quite calm, so calm to an unbelievable level, everyone looked at the hologram without fear, calm and collected.

Vito stood among them. He looked at the star map with his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes slightly, "So we are surrounded now, and the defenders are not strong enough. Chaos only needs to launch an attack and we may be finished. That situation, and food is also completely in short supply because of the blockade."

"Yes, my lord, the situation is very bad, but it can't be said to be completely bad, because we still have enough fleet and food supplies here, if it can still be counted as our own." Angvar said, pressing his hand on the star. With a sudden push on the map, Terra's image was quickly replaced by red Mars.

The home planet of the Mechanicum appeared in front of everyone, and a faint halo spread from the surface of the crimson planet, shining on the faces of Vito and the people around him. Vito looked at the planet and held his chin in thought, while Ann Gewa looked at the planet and continued to speak calmly.

"According to the report of our agents on Mars, the Mechanicus has assembled a huge war fleet on Mars. Coupled with the fact that the interior of the Mars orbital shipyard has just launched and the number of half-completed fleets, Mars has a full-scale fleet, which is enough to send part of it to To support Terra, even if the fleet just launched in Starport, arriving at Terra is enough to strengthen our defense."

"The Navy also asked for this, but General Casting directly rejected it at the meeting. He refused to send any fleet to Terra, and he also knew that Terra is currently not enough food and water, and famine may break out at any time. Refuse to send even a single grain of Martian stockpile to Terra."

Angvar turned to look at Vito and frowned, "I'm sure, the reason for his refusal is definitely not because the Mechanicus likes to eat, those oil guys don't need so much food at all, my lord, forgive me, I think. "

"Is it true that General Casting has rebelled?" Vito said calmly looking at Angwa. He didn't seem surprised at all. Angwar would not doubt his venerable leader in the slightest, and he had already seen it when he arrived in the solar system. the terrible truth.

Angwa nodded calmly, as if he didn't feel any fear at all because the forces with the largest armed forces in the solar system may have betrayed the empire and took the step of chaos.

"Yes, my lord, this is the only reasonable explanation at present. I don't believe that the Martian's algorithm can't figure it out. If Terra falls, no matter how many troops they gather, it will be a dead fact."

"Unless they betrayed from the beginning and reached a private agreement with Abaddon, yes, Angvar is very reasonable." Vito looked at Mars in front of him and frowned slightly. He looked at the red planet and was silent for a moment, but very Kuai raised his head again, looking at the planet with majesty and calmness like a real god, like looking at an insignificant ant.

"Forging generals will not be a problem soon, the resources of Mars will be used by us, now, return to Terra."

Vito's words made the surrounding judges look at each other proudly. Their inner excitement was hard to hide. At this moment, they were all sincerely happy for Vito's return. Sure enough, when Vito returned, everything would be rewarded. fixed.

Angvar looked at Vito's obedient bowing gesture. He turned around and switched the star map back to Terra with a wave of his hand. Angvar pointed to the surface of Terra's planet, "Except for the lack of battleships, Terra The ground force on the ground is also seriously insufficient, because Terra has not faced war for many years, and the defense situation of the entire Terra is quite bad. Many defense systems and positions have been abolished due to peace. What will happen after getting up is still unknown."

"Previously, Terra's defense largely relied on the Imperial Fists and the Mountain Array to maintain it. However, when the demons raided the Mountain Array and planned to capture the Mountain Array and then bomb the palace, the Mountain Array was used to defend Terra. safety, the emergency leap into the Warp, and its whereabouts are still unknown, leading to the complete collapse of Terra's defensive core."

"In fact, Terra's surface defense is currently quite chaotic, because of the food shortage, and the high lords have hoarded all the food in the palace for "centralized distribution", which is actually giving priority to ensuring their own survival. The entire Terra except There were riots and riots to varying degrees in areas outside the palace."

Angvar clicked on the star map as he said, and soon countless red dots appeared on the surface of Terra's planet, and each red dot was a riot area. Vito watched the ones that appeared one by one. Red dots, they appeared almost immediately in all hive areas of Terra except the palace, one after another, overwhelming everything.

"Right now, because of the food problem, there are riots everywhere on Terra. Our people, the Ministry of Justice, and a considerable part of the Astral Army troops are suppressing the riots everywhere, and it is impossible to effectively restart the abandoned orbital defense weapons and repair the positions. and deploy defenses."

"And the high lords, those old idiots, either out of panic or out of self-protection considerations, in addition to stepping up to collect supplies and hoard them inside the high walls of the palace, they also ordered all the troops loyal to them We retreated into the palace walls, hoping to rely on the powerful void shield in the palace area and the orbital defense array to survive the bombing and invasion of chaos, and wait for the imperial reinforcements to arrive at the position after the storm weakens."

"To put it simply, they gave up everyone except themselves, used all resources and effective troops for self-protection, and then prayed for the emperor's protection."

After Angvar finished speaking, he looked at Vito, who gave a disdainful cut, and looked at Terra's palace area with his hands in his arms, "Believe me, if the Emperor really manifested himself, the first reaction would be to use Psychic can slap these old idiots to death."

"Of course, my lord." Angvar nodded in front of the star map. He looked at Vito and waited for the order. The latter glanced at Angvar and rested his chin in thought.

"Angvar, are there any space warriors stationed on Terra now?" Vito raised his eyes and asked, and Angvar nodded, "Yes, my lord, there is only one Gray Knight force stationed on the moon. Instead of taking part in the crackdown, they are ramping up readiness and preparing for a Chaos attack."

"Grey knights? Will they listen to us?" "Yes, my lord, the gray knight's great mentor and I are old friends, and they themselves belong to the battle order of the court, so they will obey your orders."

"Actually, my lord, if you show up in public and give a shout, the gray knight's great mentor will definitely support you without hesitation, and then return to Terra with the entire company."

"One company can't solve the problem, and the moon is the most important defensive node in Terra's orbit. If the moon falls, the orbital defense is over, so let the Gray Knights continue to defend, just make sure they support us at that time. .”

"As you order, my lord."

Vito touched his chin and stared at Terra's hologram for a long time. Angvar stood not far away and looked at Vito silently. The judges and assassins around him all looked at Vito and waited for them. The order of the undisputed leader.

And Vito didn't keep them waiting too long.

"Okay, next is my order." After Vito said, all the judges around stood at attention, and the roar of military boots echoed in the entire hall.

Vito stood on the steps, and he looked at the crowd with his hands behind his back, "Since Terra is rioting, let's let the riot escalate, Angvar, send our agents to spread rumors among the crowd, Increase the intensity of the famine after the high lord's food requisition, arouse fear, instigate a larger-scale riot, and at the same time order our suppressing troops to turn a blind eye and let the rioters go straight to the palace."

"My lord, if this will lead to fear that cannot be suppressed, we have no way to deal with food after all. If the panic spreads, it will be difficult for us to suppress it later." Angwa said below, Vito looked at him and smiled , he looked at him with his hands behind his back and smiled.

"As I said, Mars will be used by us. When the food on Mars arrives, we don't have to do anything, and the riot will end naturally." Vito said, looking up at Angvar, who was getting With no more questions after the explanation, he stood at attention and awaited his leader's order.

"Let the rioters attack the outer wall of the palace. None of the troops under our control are allowed to move. Tell the arbitrator of the Ministry of Justice that I am back, and let him obey my orders. None of his people are allowed to move."

"As you order, my lord."

"Irk." Vito said, looking aside, and immediately the master assassin of the Vindicare, who was carrying an advanced sniper rifle on his back, came out from the crowd, and walked to Vito's side without saying a word.

"Let your assassins enter the high-rise buildings, kill the officers of the high lords guarding the outer walls of the palace, create chaos, and let them ask for help inside the palace in fear."

"Yes, Master." Master Ilk nodded, and then retreated into the crowd. Vito watched him turn his head to look at the female assassin on the other side, the female assassin with a high ponytail, the latter was silent Appeared behind Vito without breath, like a ghost.

"Natalie, order your Callidus assassins to transform and pretend to be officers and generals of the palace troops, and let them order the troops in the palace to dispatch urgently to support the outer wall. I want the entire palace to be in chaos. , so that all the garrison troops were engulfed in the chaos and ordered to leave the inner palace."

Master Natalie nodded to Vito, then turned and left. She didn't say anything, she didn't even breathe, she looked like a walking corpse, but the long knife behind her exposed to Vito's eyes was not It felt like she was just a corpse.

"Master Saik, I also have a task for you." Vito said looking at Natalie who was walking away. Although I suspect that Vito may be looking at her swinging buttocks, but well, this is not the point now.

Behind him, a Master Assassin with cables all over his body and a mask with countless signal converters on his face came up, he looked more like a robot, a soulless servitor, but trust me , this servitor is the kind of servitor that can kill you and everyone around you by the appliances around you in minutes.

"Master." Saik asked in a low voice behind Vito, which sounded like a tune made by a weird tuner.

"Your Vannus assassins broke into the palace's communication system, and issued contradictory and chaotic orders on the communication channel, causing the high lord council and their defenders to fall into panic and chaos amidst the frenzy of information, Destroy their sanity, give me a chance, and I will give you the permission code of the palace network."

"As you wish, Master."

Vito turned around and walked down the steps. After he walked down the steps, he passed in front of the crowd, and then stopped in front of Eva. He turned his head to look at the leader of the Assassins beside him, and the latter also nodded slightly to Vito. bowed his head.

"Lead your assassins, kill all the core subordinates and allies of the current high lord when I give the order, leave no one behind, and if possible, assist our troops to take over the defense of the inner palace and seize positions and palaces."

"Yes, master." Eva replied in a cold voice, and after Vito nodded slightly, he looked at the tall assassin beside her, an assassin who was taller than everyone else in a red spirit suit. The mask of a silver skull, with razor-like claws protruding from the palm.

The assassin stared at Vito, like a dormant beast. The deep breathing of the beast kept ringing behind the mask. Along with his breathing, his tall and strong muscles continued to bulge.

"Kratos, you and your Everson assassins, go to the outside of the conference hall where the High Lords Council is located. I don't want to see any of the defenders there when I arrive."

"I will guarantee that no one will bother you, Master." The violent Master Everson Assassin said in a terrifying voice that could make anyone tremble. His voice sounded like a Khorne master Speaking of which, what he was going to do was actually pretty much the same.

Vito nodded to Kratos, and then walked to the star map, and Angvar was standing beside him. Vito looked at the map of the palace and was silent for a moment. He looked at the location of the high lord with his hands behind his back. inner palace area.

"We need an army, an army that is absolutely loyal and can carry out any order I give without any doubts, and it must be inside the high walls of the palace, so that they can take advantage of the chaos of the defenders and quickly attack the army." Take over and control the entire inner palace area."

"Such troops are not easy to find, Master." Eva walked behind Vito and whispered. Vito glanced at her, and then Angvar smiled and interrupted his conversation with Eva when he was about to speak. chat.

The leader of the trial court pointed to a building on the map, a tall building within the palace wall and very close to the inner palace, "No, my lord, we have it."

Vito and Eva looked at the building that Angvar pointed to. There was a name floating on the side of the building, a name marking the unit and title it belonged to.

Faithful Academy.
