MTL - Warhammer Inquisitor-Chapter 531 Lion Rising: Blood and Fire

  Chapter 531 Rise of the Lion King: Blood and Fire

The hatch of the heavy-duty transport vehicle opened with a roar, and the cylindrical prismatic warhead was slowly pushed into the vehicle. Its body was caught by the fixed claws raised on both sides, and the indicator light turned red after a click. .

Omega stood at the door of the cabin, looking at the fixed projectile. He got into the cabin, leaned against the projectile and scanned the thing with mechanical eyes. After a few glances at the people outside the door, he began to rub After his shoulder complained, one of his mechanical arms quietly turned a latch from under the warhead.

  Omega turned around and got out of the car. He nodded to Priest Chaos on one side, then jumped out of the car and walked towards the car on the other side.

Vito leaned against the hood of the sedan, arms folded, watching the closed hatch, which reclosed and locked, hiding the torpedo warhead in the cabin of the humble transporter, where no one would notice The thing was shipped into town until it exploded.

  Vito looked at Omega, who was holding a round nut in his hand, and the surface of the thing had regular lights flashing, Vito looked at the thing and nodded to him.

That is the detonating bolt, which is the most important part of the whole missile body. Without that, the torpedo will not be detonated. Even if you bomb it, it will not activate its detonating device. Now, it is installed in that car The warhead is destined not to attract people's attention.

Vito took the nut and gave it back to Omega after a few glances. He turned his head to look at Daradin who was walking to the side. He and Tarkin talked about something in the distance. Now that he is back, Vito also Looking at Tarkin, the colonel stood there, glanced at the closed hatch, and nodded to Vito.

The latter also nodded in response, then exchanged glances with Daladin and watched him get into the passenger seat, Vito turned his head to Omega, and the latter got into the back seat, Vito also took a last look around Drilled in after the airport.

After the three of them entered, Dalatin patted the driver on the shoulder, the driver who had been silent all this time started the engine, and he drove the car out. Behind it, several fully loaded transport vehicles followed behind.

  They drove towards the exit of the airport. After Tarkin waved his hand to the door, the sentry at the door opened the roadblock and let them drive out into the dark wasteland outside.

Vito sat in the back seat, raised his wrist and looked at the positioning coordinates on it, suddenly they changed direction, turned from the back of the car and drove out, Vito turned his head, looked at the evil spirit who had separated from them from behind the car window. The convoy of believers drove to the other direction of the wasteland.

But the car didn't keep up with it. Its driver continued to drive forward, and after driving onto a highway entrance, he drove on a flat road, while the high wall of the airport and the lights on it were thrown away. in the back.

  The transport convoy gradually disappeared at the end of the night. Vito watched them, and soon the beacon on his wrist also disappeared from the visible range, leaving only the long-distance signal mark, flashing on the edge of the screen.

Suddenly the car drove into the unmanned rest station beside the expressway, which had been abandoned long ago, only a few buildings with dusty walls and gates rattling in the night wind remained. There are windows.

The driver parked the car outside the rest stop, Daladin opened the door, got out, walked to the signboard beside the road that had already been extinguished, took out a cigarette, lit the lighter, and Smoke lit.

  The flames illuminated his face, and Vito opened the car door and walked over. Daladin looked at Vito, who was leaning behind him, and handed over the cigarette case, "Would you like one?"

"No, I quit smoking a long time ago, maybe a...dozens of centuries? I can't remember." Vito refused in a humorous way, and he kicked his hands in his trouser pockets instead, approaching the bolter in the trouser pocket.

"Your motives are confusing, Mister Daraddin, do you know who I am?" "Yes." "Then, you took me to see how you betrayed the Emperor?" "Did I? "

  Dalatin took a puff of the cigarette as he spoke, the cigarette **** was instantly blazing, and the faint smoke under the firelight drifted from above. Daladin held the cigarette and looked at the hive capital in the distance.

  The city lights dimly shone on the rest station, illuminating the fallen chair, like a knocked down desert beast. Vito looked at the city lights, and then looked back at Daladin.

   "I know that you are the master of the Inquisition Chamber and the Assassin Court, my lord, it is easy for you to kill me, and anyone else. In fact, you can do it now. I have no chance of winning, and I know, and neither do they."

   "So you brought me here, looking at all this, hoping to show your loyalty and sincerity? Just like Colonel Tarkin, both sides sell favors in exchange for security."

"In Terra, in this Game of Thrones, many things are not in our hands. We can't help ourselves. We can only be trapped in the chessboard. We can either be eaten or win, but there are many ways to win. , is the real victory."

Daladin talked about the cigarette butt, and the sparkling ash fell on the ground. He stepped on the spark, and Vito watched it raised his head again, slightly raised his head and looked at the Terra hive in the distance, "Understood Yes, you were right, Mister Daraddin, and you were right to bring me here."

He has no choice. If he refuses to carry out the order, he will definitely be killed by his superiors. This is Terra. People killed in the conspiracy are like flowing water. Every day the sun rises and the sun sets. In every human throne world, countless betrayals and deaths will be staged.

So he can only carry out that order and hand over the torpedo to the followers of Chaos, but this does not prevent him from bringing himself and using practical actions to prove where he chose, which is better than writing a report letter to the judge The court works a lot.

   "I'm glad you said that, my lord." Daradin exhaled faint smoke under the dim light of the Hive City as he spoke, Vito also looked at the city lights, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of gravel.

   "You sent the message to ask me to come? The news, the rise of the Lion King, this is not something you will know, nor will it be your superior, who asked you to send it?"

   "You are very clever, my lord, as he said." Daradin said, flicking the ash, and then took another drag on the cigarette, and the smoke was exhaled from his mouth.

"I'm just a messenger, as you think, but the man you're looking for is no longer on Terra, but he sent you here anyway, to settle this rebellion, and to embark on a new journey. "

   "What kind of journey?"

"This rebellion is just a starting point, the beginning of a trial, the test he made to welcome the king's return, when he returns, who is qualified to live, who will fall on the chaotic ladder, It will be clear at a glance."

"Who are you talking about?" Vito turned his head and asked, but Daradin was still staring at the dim light in the distance, his face was sprinkled with dim light, "A friend, a man who provided a chance for redemption." Man, he saved me, and now, he asked me to tell you the news."

"Who is this person you're talking about?" Vito continued to ask, but Daradin continued to smoke, exhaling a faint smoke, looking at the lights of the city, "The voice of the lion king, the voice of the emperor, the voice of the people, His voice is spreading across the galaxy, from where, far away."

Vito fell silent, and raised his head after thinking for a long time, "That voice, where can I find him?" "Although he has left, the voice still stays on Terra, that's why you came here, my lord , you can get that voice on paper in the hands of the Minister of State."

  Vito snorted helplessly, and it was another riddle. Why do so many people in the galaxy like to play riddles?

He raised his head to look at Daradin on one side, and then glanced at the locator beacons on his wrist, which were blinking in the distance, "Well, I will solve this rebellion and that **** trial, anyway I've already stepped in."

   "Very well, my lord, then my mission is over." He said as he shook the cigarette in his hand, then took out a data disk from his arms, and handed it to Vito.

The latter took the USB flash drive, looked at it, and Dalatin added in time, "This is a list of conservative members who are known to have participated in the rebellion. He hopes that you will not kill innocent people indiscriminately like everyone else. , which is not good for the current empire."

   "Hmph, but there will be many dead. The age of mercy is over, and the age of blood and fire has come."

"This is the trial, the baptism of fire, to burn away all the evils of the ages, the fire that will light the galaxy, and the voice, that awaits you, my lord, you must hurry, as far as I know, there are others too find him."

Vito watched Dalatin silent for a moment, with some thoughts flickering in his eyes. He put the USB flash drive in his arms, looked at Omega, and motioned him to get out of the car, "We have never met, Mr. Dalatin, I Will not remember your name or see your name on any list that will be handed over to me."

   "This is the trial." Daladin threw the cigarette **** on the ground and stamped it out with his toes. He turned to look at Vito and nodded.

"Goodbye, my lord, we won't see each other again." "I hope so, remember what you said, you win only if you live, don't do stupid things, otherwise, I will know your name again." "Naturally, I wish you Good luck, my lord, the road to trials has already been opened for you."

"Long live the Emperor." "Long live the Emperor." After the two of them performed the sky eagle salute common in the empire, Daladin returned to the car, and Omega got out almost at the same time, and the mechanical priest closed the rear door of the car behind him, The car drove away after Dalatin got in, exited from the rest stop ahead, and drove onto the highway.

Vito looked at the headlights that gradually went away on the road, and it finally disappeared into the vast night. Vito looked up at the direction of the hive capital, took out the USB flash drive, and looked at it by the light. Then he took one of them in the palm of his hand.

   "What will happen next?" "Blood and fire." Vito said, lighting up the communicator on his wrist, and he lifted it up, looking at the lights of the Hive City on the distant horizon.

   "Eva, come pick me up at the rest stop on the D11 road, and get everyone ready. Let us use our own methods to announce the arrival of a new era."

   "Helen, tell Loken and the others that everyone in these coordinates will not be left alone, and everyone will be killed, so that the blood will stain the dawn of Terra red."

Vito stood under the lights of the Hive City, and Omega beside him stood shoulder to shoulder with him. They looked at the thousands of lights. When dawn came, they would be stained red with blood. This would be the era of blood and fire. .
