Warhammer Inquisitor

"I never wanted my Legion to betray me."

"He will never betray."

"I am your father."

"You were never my father! You betrayed us!"

"You betrayed us! If he wants to get this world, he will only get ashes!"

"Vito? Constantine, can you hear me?" Someone called softly. Vito opened his eyes suddenly, and the hazy optical fiber pierced them. He blinked and sat up and rubbed his forehead. Discovering that he was wearing a coat, a black coat, with the imperial star eagle outlined in gold thread, Vito looked aside, Loken was leaning there.

He stood outside the cabin door, bent over and looked at Vito, "You finally woke up, but it's not surprising, you're too tired, we've arrived." "Whose coat is this?"

As Vito said, he took off the overcoat covering his body, bent down and got out of the helicopter cabin, the icy sunshine fell on his face with the snow on the plateau, and the biting cold wind entered from the sliding door of the cabin instantly, from his The cuffs and collar were poured in, and when Vito suddenly became more awake.

He jumped out of the helicopter and put the coat on his wrist. Loken nodded and gestured to the side, "Kane, he saw you fell asleep, so he took off the coat and covered you."

But Vito didn't need to worry about Kane's body. He saw that he was wearing another coat, which was a heavy Valhallan military coat with three stars on the shoulders of the military rank, and its owner would It was draped over Kane's shoulders and buttoned up for him, "Commissar, this way you won't be cold."

"Colonel, what are you wearing? You know you're only wearing a shirt." Kane asked Kastin, looking very concerned. The latter smiled and turned over the fur-covered shirt for Kane. For the collar part, "I'm from Valhalla, so I'm not afraid of the cold. Besides, the temperature here is even colder than this in Valhalla's summer."

Kastin took a step back and saluted Kane, "You worked hard last night, political commissar, you didn't close your eyes all night, you go to rest, now, it's my turn to do what I should do." "Everyone came out together , you worked hard enough last night, pay attention to rest, don't get tired." "Of course, for the Emperor." "For the Emperor."

Kastin turned around and walked towards the blond Sura. She was wearing an open coat with several armed belts full of ammunition horizontally. Seeing Kastin approaching, she immediately stood at attention and saluted her, "Commander."

"Okay, tell me the situation here." Kastin said and walked over, waving his hand to signal Sura to follow. The latter was looking at Kane, and saluted him with the iconic expression of a Valhalla. After that, he turned around and followed Kastin. The voice came from a distance, "The whole regiment is ready, we are waiting for orders, but the communication system"

The voice gradually faded away. Kane stood on the runway of the airport wrapped in a military coat, and the cold wind blew in. He subconsciously fought, wrapped his coat tightly, and laughed from behind him, "Are you really like them?" Commissar of Valhalla."

"Because I'm afraid of the cold?" "No, because your personality is more like the warm sun in summer than the ice and snow in winter." Kane looked behind him and saw Vito walking with his political commissar's coat on his wrist. The belt slipped out of his clothes and fell from his wrists, rising and falling with his steps.

Vito stepped forward, came to Kane and returned the coat to Kane. The latter shook his head, motioned for the coat he was wearing, and then smiled at Vito, motioning him to put it on too. "It's so cold here, since they still say it's hot here."

"Then you haven't seen the Fenrisians. If they were here, they would probably be running naked." Vito said as he opened his coat and put it on his shoulders again. The two stood together on the snowy runway, The snowflakes in the sky are constantly dancing among the surrounding aircraft, and the airflow from the turbine nozzle runs through the runway of the airport.

The helicopter stopped behind them, the propellers were rumbling overhead, and it didn't seem to be turned off. Vito yawned and turned to look at the helicopter. Kane also glanced at him and rubbed his dark circles, "I'm not sleeping Awake?"

"I didn't sleep last night, just like you, it will go back to pick up the rest of you as soon as possible, has any of you seen her?" "Her?" "You already know it, right? Living saint." "Ah, you Speaking of her, I didn't expect that since the living saint came here, Jurgen is still praying now, together with some people in the regiment who never believed in anything before."

Vito looked at the hangar where the bells sounded in the distance, the prayers presided over by the priest and the beating of the bells came along with the wind and snow. Many believers followed the priest's words devoutly in it. There are women, but no doubt they never thought to believe that stuff before.

This is not surprising, although the Star Militia always shouts the Emperor's blessing verbally, but it is more of a verbal habit, just like the eyes of everyone in the empire, it is difficult for you to see a group of monsters all year round and see yourself It is difficult to make the remaining people really believe in something after they have prayed to the Empire before.

The so-called living saint? Heh, most of the living saints are posthumously awarded. Before their heroic sacrifice, no one has seen them perform any miracles. It is like a military medal. It is just a meaningless post-consolation. Not for the dead, but for the living.

But the living people know the facts, no one blesses them, except for the guns in their hands, comrades-in-arms are one after another, and they are replaced after death, leaving deeds that will be quickly forgotten. Not remembering the names of people who haven't lived a week.

Soldiers are like this. Although there are no atheists in the trenches, the so-called God or the Emperor is still too far away from them. The so-called miracles have never saved them. Many people will never see any so-called messengers of the Emperor in their entire lives. .

All that remains is empty habits, just a kind of psychological comfort and pass the time between battles.

But now, it seems that after the coming of the living saint, these semi-atheists finally believed that the God Emperor was protecting them, and began to pray devoutly after regaining their faith, although the scriptures read strangely because they had not prayed for many years Yes, intermittently and without rules, but judging from the sound, they are still trying very hard to be religious.

"It's going to war." Kane sighed, looking quite distressed, Vito didn't seem to notice this, and continued to look at the emperor's shrine outside the door of the battlefield church. The small shrine was erected in a On a cart, it is blocked with a cover, so that it is convenient to move with the army at ordinary times. Open the small door in front of the box, and you can see the statue of the god with candles inside.

"Is Celestine here?" Vito asked innocently, Kane shook his head and looked at the distant horizon, "No, not here, I didn't see her, but Braun did , He said that after the living saint came to convey the news of the cessation of intervention, he flew to the sky and went to other military camps to inform, the communication system is still paralyzed, and the message can only be transmitted manually."

Vito nodded. He folded his hands on his chest. The collar of his coat fell from both sides of his arms. The cold wind blew through the hem of his clothes, making it tremble up and down. He looked around the airport, and it was ready for battle. , a large number of fighter planes were parked on the runway, the engines had already been warmed up, and the hot smoke was fanned at the nozzle along with the aftermath of the ion flame.

And after the heat wave that blurred the vision, a large number of Star Militia troops also gathered here. They sat on the runway in company rows, sitting on the side of the transport plane, with parachute bags on their backs and chests, and guns. The straps hang from the legs, making everyone look like a ball, so they have to sit on the ground.

Vito looked at other places. Beside the paratroopers, small armored vehicles and parachute light vehicles were driving into the belly of the huge transport plane. Its multiple engines were lined up side by side, roaring on the runway, blowing out billowing hot air. Mixed with cold air and turned into a large white mist.

"It seems that your people are all ready." Vito asked, Kane also glanced at them and nodded, shrugged his shoulders, let the jet engine blow off the coat that slid off his shoulders and put it back on again, he sucked Sniffing, "Although the communication is cut off, everyone knows that the situation is serious, so the regiment prepared for the battle by itself. It is estimated that other troops are similar, but I really hope that there will be no real fight."

"I thought you would wish it, Commissar Kane." Vito looked at the wing of the transport plane and said with a smile, while Kane just showed a wry smile, shook his head, and turned his head to look at the Tau tribe not far away The missions, they gathered in their own line, away from all the humans at the airport.

The leader, Il Solas, seemed to be tossing about his communicator, but obviously that thing didn’t work out as he wished, perhaps due to the lack of the blessing of the Ohm Messiah, he slapped the intercom vigorously, but judging by his expression , that thing didn't show any signs of improvement, and remained silent.

"I still hope that they can make it clear to their superiors, don't let the Tau people enter the city, or they can only fight." Kane smiled helplessly, "Will the fight win?" "No one knows Whether the war can be won or not, only the dead can see the moment of victory and the emperor." "I didn't expect, you look good at Plato." "Occasionally, I read all kinds of books. The transport ship is too boring."

Vito turned around and pointed at the Tau from under his coat, "Give me an introduction? Who are these guys who might want to fight us?"

Kane raised his head and gestured to the one who slapped the walkie-talkie, "That's Il Solas, at least I remember it should be this name, their names are hard to pronounce and remember, he doesn't like us, Tau Ambassador After he died, he pulled out the gun and almost caused a fire."

"It seems that someone has persuaded him, is it your personal charm?" Vito smiled jokingly, and Kane also shook his head with a smile, "I'm afraid not, old friend, I remember, he was the first to think The one who collapsed was the governor, and the second one was me, and the one who persuaded him not to blow everyone's heads was the one next to him, hehe, Renly Issos."

Vito saw that Tau tribe, he saw that it was the Tau tribe who took the initiative to shake hands with Vito and asked him to pull him up. He was a friendly guy. There is hardly any change in expression, and the same is true for words. You can only know if they are angry when they draw their guns.

The biologists of the empire believe that it is the original body structure of the Tau race that prevents them from evolving complex emotional nerves, so they will always have that paralyzed face. Although, it also increases their chances of success in diplomacy. After all, when you When you can't read your opponent's mind, it's hard to win, or even just get benefits.

But now it seems that Renly is the calmest one among them, and he doesn't have too much hostility towards humans, which can be seen at a glance. The strange language of the water voice said these things, and Solas responded with a voice that was more like a flood, yelling at the surrounding humans.

The paratroopers cast displeased glances at them. They couldn't understand the words, but they knew what they meant by listening to the understanding emotions in the words. Fortunately, Renly pulled Solas over in time and didn't let him continue Going on without creating more conflicts that no one wants.

"It seems that there are some sensible people among them, Tau ambassadors, how did they react when they died?" Vito hid his hands back in his coat, his hands were frozen, after all, the two of them were standing not far behind the transport plane, The airflow propelling the engine was constantly blowing, bringing a biting cold wind.

Kane was also hiding behind his coat, and he looked like a gray-green stick, only his head was exposed, which proved that he was not a stick, although it looked more like a chocolate bar.

"Il Solas threw the gun on the spot, yelling to kill the governor, and then everyone else at the banquet also pulled out their self-defense weapons, and almost started fighting on the spot."

"How did the ambassador die? Did you see it clearly?" "The gun killed it, it must have been a gunshot. I heard the gunshot, and only the ambassador's head exploded." "Did you see the shooter?"

Kane shook his head, pushed the coat with his shoulders, let the fluff on the collar stick to his cheeks, the airflow from the propeller made the fluff dance, like a wheat field, "No, I was talking to Brody, Talking about the possibility of a fight, but now it seems that unless they try hard enough, we don't have to ask that question anymore."

Vito also followed Kane to see that the diplomats of the Ministry of Government Affairs were standing next to a short-wave communicator not far away. Anxiously leaning against the side and stomping his feet, he waited for the communication system to come back online.

"It seems that he is busy enough." "And it must be fast, otherwise when it is activated, it will only need to notify the Star Militia Command to prepare for war." Vito added, the hot air in his mouth touched the cold wind , turned into white smoke in an instant, and when he said this, his voice seemed to become very cold in the air-conditioning.

"Has anyone seen the gunman?" Kane shook his head, turned away from Kastin, who was staying with the officers of the regiment in the distance, and put his arms around Castine, who was listening to them with a serious expression, "At that time, we were all attracted No one saw who fired the shot, but Il Solas thought it was the Governor who did it, so he almost drew his gun and killed him, feeling very emotional."

This is not common. The Tau people generally do not lose control of their emotions. Imperial research shows that the part of the brain nerves of the Tau people that is responsible for emotions is generally dormant. Coupled with the teachings of the Supreme Good Way, they are often indifferent like machines. .

But it's not absolute, in some parts of the Tau tribe, such as the warriors of the Fire clan, their emotional nerves are particularly active, perhaps because they are warriors, they can sense a lot of rich emotions, and Yi El Solas, who seemed to be a member of the Fire clan, and Renly, who belonged to the Air clan.

The latter is famous for being rich in officials, diplomats and scholars in the Tau Empire. The representative is calm, absolute rationality and restraint. Calm down, even after the ambassador is killed, he can still persuade Solas to put down the gun instead of pulling it out with him.

But Solas is different. He is a member of the Fire Clan, and he just lost his ambassador. furious.

Kane and Vito looked at Solas who shook off Ranly's hand and raised his gun and yelled loudly. He tapped the communicator with the muzzle of his gun, as if shouting something, while Renly kept scanning the paratroopers, trying to persuade them He calms down.

"It doesn't look like a good word." "It should be. He probably wanted to kill us or something. He called out when the floating vehicle was shot down before."

Vito looked at the Fire Clan warrior and smiled, then frowned slightly and turned to Kane, "Do you think the governor did it?" "He?" Kane said, looking at the governor in the distance, who was sitting In a car, a convertible, he kept cursing the servant who had escaped with him, why he hadn't got the car ready yet.

He kept waving the crutch in his hand, sometimes hitting the car, sometimes hitting the servant's back, making the latter howl. Obviously, he was eager to escape from here, go to his bunker, and close the door Hide until the end of the war, as for the rest, leave it to fate, a typical imperial governor.

"I'm not talking about him, although he looks very arrogant, but as far as killing the Tau ambassador." "Whether he can pull the gun out of the waist below the stomach is a problem." Vito added that, Kane also nodded, explaining that this is what he wanted to say, but I don't know if it is so direct.

As a political commissar, Kane would still consider the Governor's face to some extent, but Vito would not, he would not care about the product of the superposition of idiots and waste, his skin is already thick enough, his face is full of fat, probably Can block direct bullets.

"It's a pity. If it was him, he probably wouldn't die." Vito folded his hands under his coat, looking at the incompetent and funny governor. Going down, his servants rushed forward to help him up, Vito rolled his eyes and turned his head away.

He scanned the surrounding airfield and looked at the company of paratroopers sitting on the runway. Some of the paratroopers in the distance stood up. Behind them, another company of paratroopers, which had already been inspected, lined up and walked towards the transport plane.

The door of the engine room was lowered to face them. The paratroopers lined up in two rows and walked towards the transport plane with their guns on their backs. Vito looked at them, and there was a noise coming from somewhere. At first, Vito thought it was the roar of the transport plane's engine starting, but Soon, as the voice continued to amplify and approach from a distance, he noticed something.

It was not the roar of the engine, it was a more slender, thinner sound, like a whistle. Hearing that sound, Vito suddenly flashed a memory in front of his eyes, a beach, a large number of soldiers waiting to board the ship , and when the scream sounded, the crowd began to commotion, yelling, and then gravel flew up.

The paratroopers walking towards the transport plane stopped. They leaned together and raised their heads to look at the sky. Around, the remaining paratroopers on the runway who got up and prepared raised their heads. Kastin and his regiment officers also raised their heads and looked at to the sky.

The Governor was also leaning against the car, lifting his head up with the help of his servants, who were also looking at the sky, and there was a rowdy tau, and Loken and Sirksus.

Kane also raised his head, and Vito in front of him was already looking at the sky, and together they saw a few black dots appearing from the clouds under the sun, they were rapidly swooping down from the sky, and the flash came from Its body lighted up, and then it fell down rapidly, falling towards Vito, and before his eyes, memory and reality overlapped.
