MTL - Warhammer Inquisitor-Chapter 626 Beast Wars: Triumph, Beheading Orcs, Crimson
Chapter 626 Battle of Beasts: Triumph, Beheading Orcs, Scarlet Crusade
The capital of the stormy galaxy is very lively today.
After Vito came here, he accepted the suggestion of the local governor and the noble council, and held a grand military parade to celebrate his triumphant return from the mining world Il 4.
This is of course flattery, Vito knows.
But have to say they did a good job.
The main road of the entire planet is used as a parade avenue, and a lot of decorations have been carried out.
In order to accommodate the armored vehicles, tanks, and machines of the Mechanicus during the military parade, the road was widened and reinforced, and a hero stone pillar was erected every few meters on both sides of the wide road.
Flags were flying, flowers were falling from the sky, and respectable citizens from all over the planet were cheering on both sides.
The more decent ladies and gentlemen sat alone on the high-rise buildings, enjoying the openness and better views to participate in the military parade.
Vito is their focus.
He was in a triumphal car, sitting on a golden throne in the black trench coat of the Inquisition.
They suggested that Vito wear more gorgeous and eye-catching costumes, but Vito refused, he didn't want to cooperate with them for too long in this scene.
He wore the only golden crown on his head, which he agreed to wear at the last moment.
It was the golden headband of wheat ears, like the Emperor in the portrait, and every other hero of the Empire they could imagine.
The military parade advances along the central main road.
The Titan was in the distance behind Vito, and did not participate in the military parade, but still stood on the ground.
Towering and majestic.
The heavily armed members of the Imperial Army formed several long lines, while the red-robed cathars marched in a standard, mechanically regular formation.
The Battle Sisters are also among them, they are the reinforcements who arrived in the stormy galaxy not long ago.
Was not involved in the previous battle, but was invited to join it.
These ladies became the focus as soon as they appeared on the stage. If Vito's crown was not shining enough, no one would have noticed her long ago.
In addition to this, there are the remnants of the Armageddon Legion, and the brand-new Legion formed by the newly arrived follow-up troops, led by Jarick, at the front of the team.
Vito occasionally raised his hand to signal to the surrounding crowd, the excitement at the beginning of the military parade quickly receded amid bursts of cheers.
But I'm afraid Vito will have to endure it for a while, the parade is moving too slowly.
In normal times, the heavily armed imperial army would pass through the avenue at a rapid pace and spread out at the end without any disorder.
But today it doesn't work.
The national church team was in front. They were members of the local church and were responsible for leading the military parade, but they were too slow. They held the censer and canopy solemnly, but walked slowly.
It took a while for Vito to reach the finish line, which is the headquarters of the local planetary government.
Vito climbed the stairs, surrounded by Olaf, Lancelot and others, and came down in front of the governors. It was a boring exchange of greetings, and of course flattery.
"Congratulations on your victory, my lord."
"Our Savior"
"Hail! Hail the Emperor's Chosen!"
and so on and so forth.
The next step is the highlight of the military parade, and one of the purposes of Vito's coming here.
A green skin was bound by iron chains and escorted to the wide ground in front of the headquarters. They let the green alien kneel down.
The beast growled angrily.
But even if he knelt down, his tall body was still shocking enough to make the governor and his nobles present exclaim.
"This alien, he is the alien that invaded this galaxy."
Vito said to the thousands of residents in the audience that his voice was amplified by the surrounding servo skulls and holographic projections enough for everyone to hear clearly.
"Some people say they are invincible, their strength is far superior to human beings, and they will definitely destroy everything. All we can do is bow down and pray for their tolerance."
As Vito said, he drew out the Phoenix Sword from his waist.
He cut off the green leather head two or three times bigger than him with a sword in front of the crowd.
The sword fell like rain, and in the blink of an eye, the alien's head fell to the ground and rolled down the stairs. It landed in front of the crowd, making them exclaim.
"But he is but flesh and blood."
Vito swung his sword and said, the green skin's blood burned out in the blink of an eye.
"Things that can be killed."
The crowd cheered at some point, and the deafening cheers made the square flags fluctuate with them like waves.
Some people stepped forward, kicked and kicked the green-skinned head, and spat on that head.
Vito turned around and faced the governor behind him. Ragnar and the others stood in a row on both sides of Vito, making the governor in front of him a little restless.
But his psychological quality is still commendable.
"We are here to fight."
Vito said simply, omitting the exaggeration and metaphors that should have been.
"Of course, my lord."
The governor responded humbly.
"We are already waiting for you, and the commander of our Planetary Defense Force will explain the situation to you."
The Commander of the Planetary Defense Force is a tall man, wearing gorgeous clothes, and a fancy helmet covering the ears, with a Kings Phoenix spreading its wings on it.
Ragnar said in a low voice that he was a coward, because only cowards and people who have never fought in battle would dress like this, and Vito was willing to believe him.
In the following time, he explained the local situation to Vito.
In the beginning, there were too many redundant descriptions, explanations and meaningless metaphors to highlight their few achievements and cover up the existence of many problems
Until Lancelot spoke for Vito.
"Just tell us what's going on, and if you're wasting time going around in circles, say goodbye to your job."
After that, he became more direct.
He emphasized again that the position of the Tempest galaxy is always changing, it is difficult for the green skins to find here, and even if they do come, they are no longer afraid.
Storm and Rain's defense forces have all been mobilized, and the work of recruiting reserve troops is also proceeding steadily, and the standing army will soon reach an exaggerated number.
Although Vito is very clear that the number of defense troops is often not proportional to the combat effectiveness, but at least it can share some pressure and perform some simple tasks.
For example, as a target or something.
He described the local system defense system enthusiastically to Vito.
It is a whole line of defense that spans the width of the entire galaxy and surrounds the periphery, a group of defensive positions called the Ring of Steel.
It is composed of tens of thousands of combat space stations, deep space gun stations, naval bases and planetary orbital defense systems. The commander-in-chief enthusiastically told Vito that it had resisted the crazy attack of chaos on this place centuries ago, and It paid a huge price.
"We wiped out a full legion here. No, it was two rebel legions!"
he said enthusiastically.
Vito couldn't help showing a wicked smile.
He was showing his knowledge, knowing the ancient vocabulary of Astartes and Traitor Legion.
Nothing more.
If they can destroy the two legions here, then the empire must have no honor to crown him. He might as well take the position of Vito, and then Vito will be the commander of the defense force.
"What do you think after listening to it just now?"
After he bid farewell to the commander of the defense force, he turned and asked the four people behind him.
"Ha, at least he can brag."
Ragnar shrugged.
"I already want to invite him to Fenris. Tell everyone about his "glory story" at the reception in Langya Fort. It will definitely be more exciting than Bjorn's story."
His mouth was full of ridicule and ridicule, which made Lancelot beside him couldn't help but smile.
"His exaggeration aside, the Stormy Galaxy's defenses are lax."
Lancelot said.
"Although the Ring of Steel was very reliable in the past, it blocked the attacks of the World Eaters and the Khorne army during the Blood Road War."
"But that was already centuries ago in the old imperial calendar, even before events older than our combined age."
Speaking of this, Lancelot seemed to remember something, and smiled awkwardly at Vito.
The latter also smiled at him and waved his hand.
"Okay, don't talk about it, but it's really not a good memory. After all, the Moon of Disgrace happened after that, and you miscalculated the time, and the old wolf also experienced it."
"That was indeed not a good experience, judge, if possible, I don't want to recall Armageddon at that time."
Olaf said bitterly, that was indeed not a good memory, and Vito agreed very much.
"But Lancelot is right."
Olaf nodded affirmatively after a moment.
"That was a long time ago. The Ring of Steel and the entire galaxy defense force must be much worse than before. It is definitely not a wise move to fight the green skins here."
"I agree."
Vito nodded and looked towards Ragnar.
"Go and put away the greenskin's body, don't let the state religion lunatics burn it, give them the head and keep the rest."
"What are you going to do?"
Ragnar asked.
"You will know, now, I have to check the book."
Vito turned around and walked towards the library at the other end of the corridor.
