Warhammer Inquisitor

The mechanical transmission shaft in the dark works, and the hydraulic rods around the mechanical arm slide down with a blast of air. They push the mechanical arm to slide down, and the red metal object held by the mechanical arm descends obliquely downward, a ray of sunlight The light shone from its edge.

The light shone along the uneven metal structure on its back and the towering buildings, and the shadows were stretched very long, extending from the red surface, and they slid on the light, like surfing pedals Passing by the sides of a mechanical skull.

Most of the shadows covered half of the mechanical skull, the side of the human bone was exposed to the sunlight, while the mechanical side was shrouded in darkness, and in the darkness, its mechanism shone with a faint blue light. Lights up with a light humming sound.

Soon, accompanied by a heavy roar, the sunlight also slid up from one side and illuminated the side of the mechanical skeleton. The blue light was instantly suppressed under the bright halo, and the strong sunlight seemed to be coming from all directions. It was found, and all the corners of the skeleton were lit up, and the shadows covering the red surface disappeared instantly.

The eyes of the mechanical skull continued to flicker, and two hatches slid open on the metal surface below, a pair of huge mechanical arms stretched out, its end thrusters ignited flames, and the azure flames stirred beneath it The dust cloud, let it dive down from the top of the cloud.

One by one, the wreckage was floating in the surrounding dust cloud, and the sunlight was constantly refracting in the dust, finally illuminating them all, and also reflected a ray of light on the surface of the mechanical arm stretched towards the huge wreckage, it grabbed the piece The wreckage, the hydraulic lever of the robotic arm retracted, dragging the wreckage in front of him.

The two mechanical arms firmly controlled the wreckage. In the eye socket on the right side of the mechanical skull, the blue eyes flickered for a moment and then emitted a scanning beam, which swept across the surface of the wreckage.

An antenna protruded from the back of the mechanical skull, and the radar fan blades were spinning in the dust. Accompanied by a ticking signal, the results passed through the surrounding dust and wreckage, and were transmitted to the huge floating above. Inside the ship, it was gathered on the bridge illuminated by the sun.

A new line of data jumped out of the corner of the holographic display. Cole saw him, and then looked back at the information brief window he was looking at in front of him. There was an image of a broken planet on it, as if it had been smashed Like an open watermelon, after the main body is broken open, the "pulp" of the skin and the inner layer is flying around.

"What happened here?"

Olaf looked down at the shattered planet below, its entire floor torn from the center, its shell pierced by countless flipping shells like a statue of the Iron Maiden with thorns from within.

And those real statues, the magnificent churches of the past have all turned into indistinguishable fragments, and the remains of the entire planet have drifted into many long lines in the universe.

The Infinite Frontier pushed past the debris, and the bow kept pushing aside various debris along the way. The thrusters spit out dazzling flames among the dust clouds, and after lighting up those clouds, they refracted all kinds of light around them. color.

"Father Almighty, what's going on here?"

Olaf looked at the huge wreckage of the building flying past in front of him and asked, it was the half of a building, that thing was half the size of the Infinity Frontier, it was supposed to be a huge building from the hive to the deep underground, but now But it was pulled out from the surface, and it was broken and floated in the vacuum.

"The hives were destroyed, and the divination ritual found no survivors."

Cole leaned on the holographic terminal and said, the luminous dust cloud around the planet flickered in the universe, and also shone the light on Cole.

And on the holographic image in front of him, the image was mixed with the light of the dust cloud, but the data stream was still scrolling rapidly on it.

The crew members were walking around behind the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, and the technicians carrying the analysis data were running around, approaching the calculation instruments, handing the data pads to the operators there, and then pointing and pointing at the screen to communicate with them.

The rolling data controls the scanning light waves outside through the cable, and different instruments scan the floating wreckage outside through the glass, and beams of light are emitted from the hull of the Infinity Frontier, sweeping over the icy wreckage.

The information is summarized on the holographic image in front of Vito. The scanning light wave in front of him is constantly scanning the remaining debris of the planet, but so far, the number of vital signs on the side is still zero.

Olaf looked at the cold number, it was simple, but more terrifying than any sword.

"The entire planet has been destroyed." Vito held his chin and looked at the holographic image in front of him. He didn't look at the wreckage of the planet outside the window, because it was so fragmented that it almost covered the entire galaxy and could not be seen clearly.

When they returned from the Kakas galaxy, they found that the hive world of the entire stormy galaxy, as well as several surrounding hive worlds, were all destroyed.

The Infinity Frontier travels through galactic-scale debris that spreads across light-years. These debris come from the planet below. The surface is shattered, cities are flattened and thrown into the sky, mountains collapse, and oceans are destroyed. Evaporation, the old buildings turned into cosmic dust, together with the hundreds of billions of people in them turned into fly ash.

"Have you found a clue?"

Lancelot asked while crossing his arms.

"There's nothing left."

Cole shook his head and pointed to the holographic disintegrated planet in front of him.

"It was completely destroyed. The city was either directly turned into ashes, or it was so broken that it couldn't be distinguished at all."

"The surrounding orbital starports were also torn apart. Judging from the damaged gap, it should have been broken from the inside."

Cole said.

"What's the meaning?"

asked Lancelot.

"It means that the storm and rain star exploded by itself, and its core self-destructed, detonating the entire planet and destroying the starport."

Cole held up his hand to another satellite on the schematic.

"And its crust was thrown into the sky, smashed the satellite, and all the space stations around it, and all the information was destroyed together, and we found nothing."

Vito turned outside, the Mechanicum's exploration ship was passing through the wreckage, and the released excavation ships were also looking for any clues.

Even anything that could be called complete, something that could bring some explanation, but so far they have yielded zero results, like scanning numbers on a hologram.

Vito stood in front of the window, he held his chin and stared outside thinking for a while, then turned around, "Cole, look in the direction of the steel ring and see what's going on there."

Cole nodded after listening, and then ordered to go to the armrest to give orders to the bird chief, who started to work, and soon Cole returned to the side of the hologram.

He flicked the screen lightly, and the shattered planets on it were replaced by steel rings surrounding the galaxy.

Vito came back too, standing aside with his arms folded.

"The divination array of the Infinite Frontier scanned over there. The steel ring is not damaged, and most of the rings are intact, except here."

Cole said and zoomed in on a certain area, where the iron ring defense line was destroyed, and the wreckage was flying in the sky just like the situation outside the window.

"It was crashed."

Vito said.

Cole leaned on the holographic instrument and looked at him, while Lancelot frowned. He and Olaf, who was walking beside him, nodded to each other, and the latter came to Vito's side.

"Who did it? Or should I ask, how?"

Olaf looked at the wreckage and asked.

"The steel ring belt is an advanced line of defense anyway. It has withstood the Scarlet Crusade, and it is impossible not to discover the coming crisis."

"Not to mention the scale of this crisis."

Olaf asked a question, and no one could give an answer for a while. Cole leaned on the table with his chin in his hands and thought, staring at the holographic image in front of him.

Several things flew over from above the hologram, passed over the wreckage, and pulled a long tail made of halos.

It's long, almost like a sailing ship.

"what is that?"

Ragnar on the side asked, he didn't talk much, he has never been very good at this kind of thinking, this is the first time he said something.

"Can't you ask a good question? Ragnar, that's a meteor."

Lancelot replied angrily, while Ragnar scratched his head and smiled.

"Didn't I hear you say that something hit there? When I saw it, I asked, what if they flew towards us?"

"Don't worry, the autocannon on the ship will."

Cole stopped talking, his eyes gradually widened, and then stood up abruptly.

This caught Vito's attention, and he looked over and frowned.

"Meteor, it's a meteor."

Cole looked at them and said aloud, as if he was a scholar who had discovered the truth of a mysterious problem that has plagued people since ancient times, he turned to look at Vito and Olaf.

"Meteor showers often have meteors passing by, and the attackers came mixed in with the meteors, so the space station didn't notice it until they were hit head-on."

"The "giant meteor" rushed all the way here, and the Iron Ring was instantly paralyzed. The Hive Capital had no time to warn, so it was caught off guard."

After Cole said, Vito looked out of the window, and the meteors that were originally on the hologram were already close in front of his eyes, and their long tails pulled out a long halo, leaping from the distant sky.

As they approached, the USS Infinity Frontier's weapon array detected them, and the automatic cannon on its back between the tall spiers and towering statues turned its muzzle and aimed at them, but as the red icon on the monitoring screen inside the bridge Turned green and they all shut down again.

"Scan the trajectory around the planet." Vito said, looking at the meteors flying overhead, "That thing must be huge, the entire galaxy has been destroyed, and the dust cloud will definitely leave a clear track for that thing .”

"Let's go there in the same boat?" "No, in the name of the Tribunal, let us send out the star language, and call all the imperial armed forces from the surrounding star fields to gather." "I'll do it right away."

After saying that, Cole got up and went to give the order, leaving Vito to turn his head and look at the meteors flying past the window and the many wreckage floating around.

"Do you think Eisenstein is still alive?" "I'm not sure, Ragnar, the outer planets are all broken, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to fight the enemy." "Damn, I'd rather be eaten by a void whale I don't want to die like this."

Ragnar muttered, crossed his arms and looked out.

"Vito," Olaf whispered, coming to Vito's side, "do you think he's still alive?"

"If there's one thing I know about Dorne and his sons, Olaf," Vito said, "it's that they're tough."

As Vito said, he narrowed his eyes and looked at a long trail stretching out into the void among the dust in the starry sky. Its arc-shaped range penetrated the dust cloud and straddled towards a twinkling star outside the galaxy. , and that star never appeared on a star map.
