MTL - Warhammer Inquisitor-Chapter 45 Frontiers of Empire: Courage

  Chapter 45 Frontiers of Empire: Courage

The hive capital’s arcade avenue is crowded with people. This magnificent building made of milky white marble and gold decorations is wide and tall. Once upon a time, it was the only way to the Victoria Cathedral. During the annual Emperor’s Ascension Festival It is very lively at times, and people will follow the pilgrimage route to the cathedral.

  It is also full of people today, but not out of faith and piety, but fear, the most thorough fear.

These panicked refugees gathered here, they shouted loudly and cursed, and the refugees who led the big and small packages and hugged the children crowded together like sardine cans, and what was worse was that the vehicles in the crowd squeezed a lot Space.

These armored vehicles of the Planetary Defense Force, which were supposed to fight on the front line, stopped here. They kept honking their horns and roaring to let the crowd leave. Soldiers with guns violently pushed and shoved the refugees who blocked the way. People cursed loudly. Their weakness and treachery, but these desperate soldiers apparently did not care.

They fled desperately towards the core of the hive city. The leading officer stood on the turret of the Chimera armored vehicle, waving his arms and swearing loudly to signal those who blocked the way to get out of the way, but they couldn't do it at all, because everyone wanted to enter core city.

   Explosions sounded one after another, and the burning sky was not flickering above the heads of the crowd. The superposition of all these fears brought chaos, and the soldiers began to move forward more aggressively.

  A guard soldier with a laser gun violently pushed a pregnant woman away with the **** of his gun. The pregnant woman lost her balance and fell backwards, but she did not fall to the ground but was held up by a person.

   "Thank you, first" the pregnant woman turned her head to thank her, but her words got stuck just after she said two words, because she saw the pendant hanging on the man's chest, the letter i made of rubies.

  Vito helped the pregnant woman up, and then signaled her to get out of the way. The latter quickly made a way with other refugees so that Vito could face the panicked soldiers.

  They all looked at the judge in horror. The female governor was standing beside him. The two of them had no bodyguards or guards, but the judge alone was as intimidating as a whole army.

  He came up and looked at the terrified soldiers, their inner panic was on their faces, the judge walked by each of them and looked at them with indifferent eyes, as if a razor had been scraped through their hearts.

"Lieutenant, do you still remember the history of Victoria?" Vito asked standing in front of the Chimera. He smiled and looked at the soldiers and refugees around him.

   "Then let me review the history for you. During the Beast War, the first colonists of Planet Victoria, the descendants of the Hero Legion who recovered most of the Extreme Sector from the Greenskins."

"Your ancestors fought against the green tide spreading across the galaxy thousands of years ago. They fought against the galaxy under the command of Vulcan Vulcan, the lord of the Primarch Fire Dragon, and wiped out thousands of green-skinned enemies under the guidance of the Emperor's Light. Into the galactic trash."

Vito looked at the faces, and the soldiers looked at each other, and the refugees whispered in all directions, "And you, their descendants are here now, members of the Guard who were supposed to protect the people of this planet, are here pushing, cursing and even Almost killed an unborn child."

  Vito pulled out the bolter on his belt, and almost immediately there was a burst of screams in the crowd, and the lieutenant and the company of the guards in front of him almost turned pale.

   "As a judge, it is my duty that I should wall you cowards, right now." Vito said with his finger on the trigger, and he looked around at the group of cowards and the defeated army.

  But Vito's expression suddenly became serious. He suddenly raised the muzzle of his gun and fired a shot. The violent bomb flame exploded above his head, and a figure fell into the crowd.

When the nearest person stepped forward to check the situation, the thing suddenly raised its head, and tore the person into pieces amidst a roar, screams and fear exploded in the crowd like thunder, and people screamed They scattered and fled in all directions, and many people fell to the ground and were trampled to death by thousands of feet.

  Countless unlucky ones were instantly killed, and their flesh and blood were splashed on the walls and the road. The monster got up and bent down and roared in Vito's direction.

   "What kind of monster is that!" shouted the soldier, pointing his gun at the monster, and Vito grabbed him by the shoulder, "Likat, get out of here now!"

   Vito said and threw the soldiers away, but not everyone was as lucky as him. Licart strode forward and brandished his claws, instantly tearing apart several soldiers who had shot at him hastily.

  The deadly assassin of the Tyranid swarm passed through the lines of defense in the war zone without a sound, and came here without a sound. It has only one purpose, the same as all the previous assassins, the leader.

Likat reached Vito with lightning speed, and it grabbed Vito's face with its sharp claws, but the latter pulled out the chainsword with lightning speed, and the roaring golden-red chainsaw collided with the claws , Dazzling sparks shot out instantly, since Vito blocked the heavy blow from Rickart's right paw with one arm.

  The Tyranid Assassin withdrew his claws and quickly attacked again, and Vito blocked it accurately. The two sides fought together at very close range and high speed. The chainsaw sword and the biological claws collided with each other and emitted dazzling sparks.

Vito dodged a sideways attack from the Tyranid giant claw, and the judge raised a small, almost invisible shield to block the blow from the Tyranid assassin's side claw. It seemed that Tyron's claws were blocked by the chainsword, but Tyron looked at Vito in surprise and took a few steps back.

  Olivia cursed and pulled out the laser gun on her waist, but was yelled at by Vito.

"Don't waste ammunition, if you don't kill it, it will only irritate it. Do me a favor now, my dear, and evacuate these refugees." Vito said, pulling out the chainsword, and slashing Likat's wrist with a backhand, the bone carapace Fragments splashed in all directions but leaped back just in time to open the distance before it was sliced ​​through the flesh.

   Likat's body gradually became transparent after crawling a few steps on the ground, and its figure finally completely disappeared into the space, causing the surrounding people to exclaim and scream.

"It will be invisible, stop yelling, Olivia! Take them away!" Vito said as he raised the chainsaw sword as if he knew where Licart was, and he slashed at the latter with perfect precision. And down the deadly blade.

  Olivia also immediately began to direct the soldiers to take the refugees away, and everyone began to run around in a hurry, but before they could run, Olivia pulled out a gun and fired a shot into the sky to scold them.

   "What are you running around?! Corporal! Organize a retreat, all idiots with guns put your guns up and form a position, what are you looking at? Move!"

Vito watched as Olivia roared and began to organize the defense. The hurried soldiers could be regarded as reorganizing the defense under her orders of cursing and kicking. They formed a cordon to organize the refugees to retreat and called for armored vehicles The driver turned the vehicle across to block the road.

  Everyone started to move in an orderly manner, while Olivia was still cursing loudly and directing all this. Vito looked at her with relief, "She is indeed my good girl."

   Vito said as he turned around and swung the chainsword like lightning, drawing a heavy strike with the chainsword of the Imperial Skyhawk, and then there was a silent attack from stealth, sparks splashed to the ground and moved endlessly in the lake of blood.

  Licart's face appeared in front of Vito's eyes like a shadow, its forked tongue was twisted in front of the judge, and then suddenly Licart jumped back and disappeared completely.

  Vito stood in front of the Chimera calmly holding the chainsaw sword. There was no trace of panic in his eyes. On the contrary, the lieutenant on the armored vehicle was so frightened that he held a laser gun and looked around like a psycho.

  The monster moved silently without sound or impact, and the entire huge body and sharp claws did not leave any traces on the ground, just like a ghost of nothingness.

  Vito squinted his eyes slightly as if looking for something, then suddenly turned his head and pulled out his bolter to point in the direction of the lieutenant, "Jump down! Move!"

The lieutenant obeyed the order and jumped out of the armored vehicle almost subconsciously. The bolter roared and roared and hit Licart in the face. The monster appeared in the range visible to the naked eye during the explosion, and it fell on the armored vehicle roaring. He got up and quickly got up and jumped off the armored vehicle, overwhelming Vito with his huge size.

Its two belly claws held Vito firmly on the ground, and Licart waved his two sharp claws and raised them high. It thought that Vito still had no way to fight back, but suddenly a force hit him. On Likat, the inexplicable force sent the Assassin Beast flying.

  Licart was hit on the front side of the Chimera, and hit the muzzle of the coaxial machine gun. With a wave of Vito's hand, the cockpit cover on one side suddenly opened, revealing the bewildered operator underneath.

  Vito pointed at him and shouted, "Hit!"

  The command seemed to be the node pheromone of the Tyranid Zerg, which was transmitted to the driver's brain with lightning efficiency, and immediately responded almost instinctively.

  He immediately pulled the trigger, the coaxial machine gun roared like thunder, and the bombs bombarded Licart continuously until a terrifying hole was blown out of its chest.

  The beast roared and not only raised its head and protruded from its mouth with a curved, long and thin densely forked tongue, but suddenly its head was blown open, and the purple-black brains sprayed everywhere and covered the entire front body of the Chimera.

Viscous brain pulp and blood sprayed onto the driver's body, and he looked at Vito in front of him from the driver's window in horror. A plasma cannon protruded from his wrist, and the flickering plasma lightning danced across his entire body. on the arm.

  The plasma cannon port of Vito's lowered palm was automatically retracted into the wrist, and Vito's arm became normal again in a very short time.

  The judge looked at the smoking corpse of the monster in front of him. Now there was only a pool of plasma plasma left on its face. The entire face was dissolved and smashed, leaving only a miserable corpse.

The communicator on Vito's wrist suddenly rang, and Vito raised his wrist, and the voice came out immediately, "Mr. Judge! The Tyrannos have come in from the underground street! We can't hold on anymore, the Emperor will come again!" !We need reinforcements! NOW!"

   "Okay, I understand Major, let your people stand up first, and I will arrive later with my people." "My lord, may the emperor bless you." "He should bless you now."

As Vito said, he turned off the communicator, and as the sound of fierce fighting disappeared, the refugees and soldiers came out from both sides of the armored vehicle. Olivia walked over from a group of people and looked at the tattered corpse.

   "Are you not hurt?" she asked, and Vito touched her face with a smile, "Take care of yourself and them first.

  Vito climbed into the armored vehicle, and he stood on the Chimera's turret overlooking all the regrouped crowd.

  The lieutenant was also among them. He put on his hat again and walked up. The tank crew also got out from the front hatch, sitting on the inclined armor and looking at Vito on the roof.

"This is a Tyranid creature, you see it now, it's dead as you can see." Vito pointed to the monster and said, "This **** can be killed, and so can the outside, yes, their number Huge and boundless, you may not have as many bullets as they do."

  Vito looked at the crowd, and looked at the judge with both eyes. They were eyes full of longing and eyes for heroes.

"The empire has been fighting for 10,000 years! Every battle has been fought in this way. We have fought against all kinds of bulls, ghosts and evil gods for 10,000 years! And it is human beings who fight against them! Humans like you are not Asta outside. special!"

  Vito looked around the crowd and said loudly, "We are fragile, weak and incompetent, and our flesh and blood are vulnerable to mighty power, but we have held our ground! We have defended the empire for 10,000 years! Fucking 10,000 years! We won!"

The judge pointed to the gunfire at the end of the street, "I have worked with tens of thousands of mortals and hundreds of Astartes to beat these **** back into their mother's womb and plant bombs in their mother's **** Blow back to the void together!"

"Your ancestors, with my brethren! We **** all the monsters back into their mother's womb! Chaos, Tyranids, Necrons and Eldar and **** Tau! 10,000 years !We're still standing here, and the Empire is still standing in this galaxy! And it's going to go on! We're going to go on!"

"If you want to run, run! Every one of us will die, today or any day in the future, but think for yourself, when you meet the Emperor and tell him you have achieved nothing, or in the empire of thousands of generations Heroes and heads held high before him, tell them I died like a hero?!"

  Everyone looked at Vito, the judge raised his chainsaw sword and pointed to the sky, "Fucking aliens! Who will kick their **** with me?!"

Thousands of guns and fists were raised amid the cheers, and the cheers sounded like thunder. Olivia stood among a group of excited soldiers and refugees who regained their courage and looked at Vito on the roof of the car. She smiled. Come out and look at the man.

   "This is my king, our hero."
