Warhammer Inquisitor

The light of the star system flickers in the cold vacuum, and the bright blue sun expands and shines in the core of the galaxy. From time to time, unique blue lines of fire rise on its surface. They are constantly rising, releasing powerful star power At the same time, it also shines light into the surrounding galaxies.

There are eight planets revolving around the star. None of these planets have any life at all. The inside of the expanding star is constantly releasing irrepressible energy, expanding it continuously and expanding outward until it swallows the entire planet after a few centuries. galaxy.

But now, the strong radiation it released has wiped out life on the surrounding planets, turning the entire galaxy into a forbidden zone for life, and the radiation is still spreading, moving toward the farther corners of the galaxy.

Its terrifying radiation covered the outside of the ship, and the void shield flickered from time to time, blocking the instantly fatal radiation particles, which also allowed Cole to stand and look at the sun.

Cole stood between the stone pillars, standing there with his hands behind his back overlooking the twinkling stars in the distance, the bright blue light of the sun sprinkled on the stone pillars on both sides and in front of Cole, his shadow danced in the light, Extend to the interior of the hall at the rear.

"That sun is dying, meeting next to a galaxy that is about to turn into a tomb? How creative." Anna came out from behind a pillar on one side, and stood next to Cole with her arms folded, with no buttons on her chest Buttoned up, half of the cleavage is exposed.

Cole glanced at her part and frowned, "Rear Admiral Anna, you are now a Rear Admiral, an official naval captain, please pay attention? We are here for an official meeting."

"What's the rush, anyway, the real master hasn't arrived yet." Anna said as she shook her fiery red hair and looked towards the hall behind. Cole also turned around in the sunlight and looked deeper behind him.

The company commanders and high-ranking officers of the Astartes battle group, the generals and captains of the Star Militia Army and the Navy, and many high-level commanders are all here. There are not many of them, but they all get along very well.

Bell looked around. After many days, all parts of the expeditionary force have been perfectly integrated. The mortal generals and captains get along well with the Astartes fighters. Now they no longer have barriers, but can Chatted and discussed with each other.

But it is precisely because of this that outsiders here are particularly easy to distinguish. Cole turned aside under the blue sun rays, and stood beside the central map table in front of the steps of the double row of seats. A representative, that is a tall and thin man, he is wearing a light blue uniform that fits well, the U letter on the shoulder and the imperial sky eagle emblem make him particularly conspicuous.

Anna looked at him with his hands folded in front of him, and snorted unabashedly, "A lackey from Terra? Why is this guy here? Who invited him?"

"Vito invited him, he is a representative sent by Guilliman, so whether we like him or not, he is eligible to attend the meeting." Cole stared at the man and said, if Cole remembers correctly, his name is Anthony, A "guest" from all the way from Terra, or at least that's what it was supposed to be.

But you can also tell that he is very unwelcome here, and the rest of the expeditionary force stays away from him, casting vigilant and hostile glances from time to time.

Especially the space warriors, Bell could see more conspicuous hostility in their eyes, as Astartes, they would not trust strangers inherently, especially this guy who appeared suddenly.

In fact, in the past few meetings and contacts, he has not done this well. His first impression on the expeditionary force is very bad. Cole can only hope that he will perform better today.

Following Cole's thought, the door of the conference hall was opened, and Vito, wearing power armor, walked in with his head held high, followed by Bell and Lancelot, and the two Astartes walked on his left and right sides, just Follow him like a guardian.

After Vito entered the hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and became the focus of the audience, "I'm very glad to meet you all. If I'm not wrong and everyone is here, let's start."

Vito announced the start of the meeting very directly, without unnecessary greetings or meaningless conversations, just as he emphasized every time in the past, before the war, we must maintain efficiency and there is no time to waste.

The surrounding participants gathered around the table. Vito naturally stood on the front side of the table facing the gate, and naturally stood on the chairman. Bell and Lancelot were on both sides of him, and the winged knight took off his He took off his helmet and tucked it under his elbow.

Reina also leaned in from the side. She stood beside Cole. The latter nodded slightly to greet him, and the latter also nodded slightly as a response. On the other side of them, Anna and Yeta Even more intimate, the two touched each other's fists, and then both showed bright and charming smiles.

It seems that their relationship is closer than last time, which is a good thing, which means that the remnants from the last Great Crusade era have been integrated with the current empire.

Vito looked at them and smiled faintly, then raised his head and looked aside, the holographic image in the corner of the map table was projected on the ground, and a huge figure outlined by light particles appeared there very quickly.

The huge iron fist relief on his chest is completely formed, and with the upward movement of the reactionary light, Vito saw his clear face, the latter bowed to him, and Vito also nodded to him, "Commander Eisenstein, no , Sorry, it's the Chapter Leader."

"No need to apologize. You are my superior. You can call me whatever is convenient for you." Eisenstein was still rigid, and Vito was very happy. It seemed that the month away from fleet battles hadn't changed him too much. Except that he has a lot of beard on his face.

Eisenstein used to keep his face extremely neat and hairless, as part of his grooming as a qualified military officer, but now, it was obvious that his face was covered with a rare mess.

"It seems that the battle in the outer ring is very fierce, right? Then skip the small talk, I know you don't need appeasement and flattery, let's start." After Vito raised his hand to signal, Eisenstein nodded and then turned around. Looking at the holographic table in front of him, a star map soon appeared, on which the current situation map had already been marked in advance.

Eisenstein looked at the map in front of him, and raised his finger made of holographic images. With his movements, the star map also pointed and moved, "The battle in the outer ring is still fierce, and the red pirates are fighting against the warlord Huron. Appeared in the Northwest Quadrant under the leadership of , they currently control forty planets in the Kasuhar Starbridge area, and they are trying to continue to expand outward.”

"The Blackmane Wolf and the Sons of Dorn joined forces to repel them temporarily, but Huron's pirates are still infiltrating to the periphery, and the infiltrators have instigated many rebellions. Currently, several galaxies where my warband is located In order to get rid of the commotion, he also united with the local pirate forces, and began boldly attacking the imperial space station, and even the undefended planets."

Eisenstein said that the situation map in front of him changed with his gestures, and there were many red areas on it, with the flashing skull logo, which meant pirate activities.

"Can you find Huron's flagship?" "You can't fight the pirates head-on. Even if you have a military advantage, the defender needs to defend almost all of the empire's world, which means that the empire's military advantage will be quickly diluted. "

Vito propped himself on the table and said, "The Huron side is just the opposite. He only needs to launch an attack on certain specific imperial worlds, and when they are concentrated, they can overwhelm the local imperial defenders. Huron will not occupy the planet, either. He'll sack there, then disappear into the void again so you can't catch him."

"If you fight like this, the empire will only be driven around by Huron, fortified everywhere, but the end result is that there is no defense everywhere."

Vito stared at the star map in front of him, he held his chin and thought for a while, and then he came up with an idea, "There is only one way to solve this problem, and that is to find Huron himself, and then use the tried and tested but effective method to solve it. , kill him, and cut off the commanding brain of the Red Pirate."

This is indeed a good method, but it often works, but the premise is that Huron's position can be accurately judged.

Eisenstein shook his head, "We are still unable to determine the location of Huron's flagship. He is very flexible and cunning. He ran away after hitting him, and he couldn't catch his tail at all."

After Vito nodded, he looked at the situation map in front of him. He stared at the huge red frame for a moment, then raised his finger to the huge guerrilla zone, and clicked on several red planets on it. It has been looted, leaving only useless ruins and wasteland.

"Deploy the fleet back, abandon the outer planets that have been plundered, and concentrate the fleets in all surrounding defensive areas, and set up defenses on this side of Huron's active area, drawing a long line, connecting end to end for coordinated defense."

"Send all your Astartes and ground troops to the surface of the planet where the fleet cannot defend, unite with the local defense forces, and strengthen the orbital defense. If we can't catch Huron, let Huron come to us on his own initiative. When his red pirates attack again, they will find that all planets lacking naval defenses have enhanced surface power, and he may be able to control the orbit, but he cannot easily plunder the surface."

Vito dragged his chin, looking at the star map in front of him. "As long as Huron attacks, the troops invading the ground will be held back by the defensive forces, just like pincers clamping the tip of a stabbing knife."

"When he was trapped, the planet's defense forces immediately sent out a signal, calling for the surrounding fleet to encircle Huron. He would fall into a trap, and we would destroy him and his fleet here."

Another classic Vito scheme, laying a trap, waiting for the prey to bite, and most of the time, the prey won't realize it's a trap until they step in.

"It's a good plan, but the planet behind the blockade also needs to be defended, otherwise Chaos will take advantage of it."

"I will send two other battle groups to replace your defense line and stand by as a reserve team. You inform the wolves that it is time to kill that pirate bastard."

"No, I'm afraid not."

He interrupted them, and Cole knew now that the guy wasn't going to make a good impression in this meeting today.
