Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 299 The Rise of the Primarch: Terra's Route
Cole stood behind the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the bridge and watched the star sea outside. The captain had his hands behind his back, the dark blue navy coat was still standard on him, and the navy curved-blade saber on his waist shimmered in the starlight. A little bit of sheen.

No, the light is not starlight, but the thruster fire of a large transport ship passing by. Cole looked at the transport starship passing in front of him. The hull of the ship was not as big as the Infinite Frontier. The ship is much smaller than the Mars-class War Cruiser, and its length from start to finish is only about one-fifth the length of the Infinity Frontier.

The orange-red flames flickered in the night sky, and Cole's blue eyes reflected the thrusters that slid past. As the transport plane in front of him passed by, more transport ships around it were exposed to Cole's vision. Down.

In that night sky unarmed transport ships sailed around Cole, his eyes looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge at the civilian transport ships, like a flock of sheep surrounded by shepherd dogs, shimmering forward The weapon propels these ships carrying refugees from the frontiers of the solar system, keeping up with the only armed warship that can protect them now.

"Anyone joined the fleet?" Loken said, walking over from behind Cole, the captain turned his head and nodded to Captain Shadowmoon Wolf, who also smiled and nodded to Cole, Loken naturally Standing beside Cole, he looked out the window with the convoy of convoys accompanying him.

Cole's eyes turned to the left to look at the ships on the edge of the fleet. They were two cargo ships, not used to transport people at all. Among them, there were only huge warehouses without any comfort guarantee.

But at this juncture of life and death, comfort is not so important, so it is full of refugees, and Cole even heard that there are some noble solar system families, and it is really aggrieved that they are willing to squeeze in a cold warehouse with a group of civilians .

"Yes, they came from the Europa space station on Saturn. They hid in the space station when the death guard attacked, and then escaped when the death guard suspended the attack and began to retreat."

"The Death Guard stopped attacking? That doesn't sound like their style."

Loken said in surprise, the death guards in his impression are all with the goal as the absolute priority. In order to achieve the goal, he can accept any cost, loss and the most brutal way of attack, the kind that will never stop before victory.

Their contempt for life led to the fact that even in the days of the Great Crusade, the Death Guard were not very popular with other Legions, especially mortals.

So Vito transferred the Death Guard away from the expeditionary army during the expedition, away from other legions to attack all kinds of aliens, to fight those enemies who don't need to consider "human rights and humanity", I have to say that they did a good job, Their almost ruthless philosophy of killing and their Primarch's obsession with viral weapons has annihilated countless alien foes for the Imperium.

And their primarch, Mortarion, Loken still remembers seeing Mortarion once, and he vaguely remembers a time when the Shadowmoon Wolf worked with them to fight against an alien, and Loken still forgot that What kind of alien it was, but he remembered very clearly the impression Mortarion gave him, the pale, cold eyes that made Loken's back shiver at a glance.

"Yes, it's really weird, but it's the truth. The Death Guard suddenly stopped attacking and retreated, and the refugees took this opportunity to escape."

Cole looked in the direction of the refugee ship, and Loken also looked in that direction. Captain Cole held his chin in thought, and after being silent for a while, he looked at the universe outside the window.

"In fact, it's more than that, it all went so well, I thought we would be attacked by the Chaos fleet on our way to Terra, or at least an occasional interception and harassment, but no, we have even an enemy ship for so long I haven't seen each other, it's as if Chaos has left the solar system."

"Perhaps it was the Emperor's blessing that we were able to break through the siege and almost reached Terra."

Cole pondered, and Captain Javier Loken also folded his arms and pondered, but just as the two were thinking about this issue, Eisenstein came up, and the tall Imperial Fist warrior in yellow armor came from the ship. Coming from the inside of the bridge, his height was still as tall, the starry sky and the advancing flames outside the window shone on him, pulling his huge shadow to an incomparably huge size.

Eisenstein walked over to the two of them and nodded to the captain and Captain Loken. The two of them also paid their respects to the Captain of Emperor Fist. Eisenstein stood beside Loken and looked out the window. He was in the night sky. After looking left and right, I looked at the two planets in the direction of the front of the battleship.

Cole and Loken also followed Eisenstein's eyes. They looked at the two red and brown planets. They were intertwined in the night sky. From the point of view of the Infinity Frontier, they looked like a The dancers who danced with each other embraced each other and danced together on the orbit of the solar system.

Cole had never been to that planet, but he could recognize their names with just a glance, the names that no one in the Imperial panorama knew, no one knew, Mars and Terra.

The three of them all looked at the throne world. They were far apart. In fact, they couldn't see the appearance of the home planet of human origin. It was like a blurred spot of light, shining a holy light in the dark night sky. The divine light from the Golden Throne shone in the dark night sky, bringing light and hope to the entire Empire.

People always say that as long as Terra doesn't fall, then human civilization will stand. Cole looked at the planet, and he now knew why the veterans said that.

Eisenstein looked at Cole, and the captain stared at Terra's eyes fascinatedly, blue eyes reflecting the twinkling dots of light, "Have you been to Terra? Captain."

"No, never." Cole shook his head slightly, but he never took his eyes off the planet for a moment. He stared at the homeworld, where all human beings can truly be home together.

"But I always imagined what it looked like. When I was a child, I looked up at the stars and looked for its location. My father told me many stories of Terra. I imagined the appearance of the throne, the appearance of our original home planet, like That's how all human beings picture our civilized mother in their minds."

"And you will soon see her, the Throne World, the father and mother of all human beings." Eisenstein said out of the corner of his eye and glanced at Loken, who was also looking at the planet, his blue-blue lake-like eyes staring at On that planet, Loken silently walked to the window and put his hand on the glass gently.

Eisenstein looked at the dazed Loken and was silent for a moment. "You haven't been anywhere? Have you? Captain."

"Well, never, but I've always imagined it like Cole. Hindman once talked to me about Terra, and Karkas read me poems about the throne."

Loken looked at the planet in awe. He closed his eyes with a long sigh and slowly opened them. His green lake-like eyes stared at the planet he fought for, all Space Marines and mortals. Soldiers have shed their blood for thousands of years, looking up to the sky before death, longing to return to her beautiful home after death.

"I joined the Legion when I was young, and I've fought for the rest of my life, and I wondered if it was worth our bloodshed for her, but when I met her, I knew that our sacrifices were all worthwhile. "

"You will be able to step on her soon, brother, step on our homeland." Eisenstein walked over to Loken and pressed his shoulder. The commander of the Shadowmoon Wolf gave him a sincere nod. to show thanks.

Cole looked at the two warriors with a long sigh of relief. He looked in the direction of Terra and showed a smile, but suddenly Anna's voice sounded beside him.

"Captain, Vito is back." Anna shouted from the inside of the bridge, and Cole immediately turned to look at Anna who was standing in the shadows and frowned slightly, "He's back? Faster than I thought. , where has he been?"

"It's already in the hangar, I think you have to pick him up, right?" Anna said with a akimbo, her attractive waistline seemed so perfect in the shadow, and her fiery red hair was even more faintly radiant It looks both psychedelic and has a unique charm.

But apparently, the three men in front of her didn't notice the beauty, the Space Marines weren't interested in women, and Cole, presumably, as always, immediately focused her attention on her work.

"Two company commanders." Cole looked at the two people beside him and said, Eisenstein turned around and nodded affirmatively to Cole, "Come on, we have to pick up the marshal and keep up."

Speaking of which, Eisenstein walked past Anna, the tall giant walked past the beautiful first mate with heavy steps, and Loken walked over from the other side. Cole smiled as he approached, the latter cleared his throat, nodded solemnly to Anna, and walked over.

Anna glanced at Cole, who was walking away quickly, and sighed helplessly. She waved her hand and walked to the bridge control area. The fiery red-haired female first officer looked at Tara in the night sky, that beautiful, maybe Is there any place up there that the Cole guy would like to hang out with for a while as well?Like a hall of honor or something?

Cole came to the hangar deck with Eisenstein and Loken. Not only Cole knew about the ship, but the two company commanders were already familiar with this route. It didn't take a while for them to arrive at the fastest speed. on the deck.

Eisenstein and Loken walked onto the deck, and Bell, who had already arrived here, turned to look at the two of them. After he nodded to the two captains, the two also walked to his side and watched the descending Silver Skyhawk with him.

Cole also walked among them. The captain's hair and the end of his military coat were swaying at the vector nozzle of the Aquila. He looked at the exquisite shuttle that slowly descended from mid-air, inside the hangar. The rays of light shone on its surface, shimmering like silver droplets.

The Aquila descended slowly, the flame at the end of the vector nozzle burned on the deck, and its landing gear fell to the ground along with the huge airflow that spread around, and slowly lifted up as the heavy landing gear hit the ground. , the Aquila also completely fell to the ground.

Eisenstein's eyes looked at the hatch that then slowly fell. A door fell on the silver fuselage from a place that was completely smooth and showed no signs of gaps. The landing hatch slowly hung down on the ground. , with a crisp clanging sound, a person stepped down from it.

"Hello everyone, have you eaten yet?" Vito walked down from above, rubbing his neck, and asked a very outrageous question at this scene and at this time, not at all unexpectedly.

"Vito, do you think that we have broken out from the edge of the solar system. In the case that we may be attacked by Chaos at any time, is your question a bit stupid?" Cole asked speechlessly with his arms in his arms, and Vito shrugged his face. It doesn't matter.

"Then what do you think I should ask? You are still alive, and there are a lot of refugee fleets outside. Doesn't this prove that I have nothing to ask?"

"And besides, I guess, the Chaos Fleet should temporarily withdraw to the outer positions of the solar system, and we can sway and go to Terra like a tour."

Vito said and walked off the Skyhawk. He stood at the door of the cabin and stretched his waist. Although he looked relaxed and seemed to have gone for a walk in the park, Bell was still keenly aware of something. He looked Eye Eagle.

"You repelled the main Chaos fleet, right? That's why we didn't encounter any Chaos enemy ships, and because of the heavy losses, Abaddon urgently withdrew all the fleets from the battlefield to avoid encountering you again."

Bell said, several people looked at Vito after looking at each other, Bell frowned and watched Vito drop his head slightly, "How did you do it? Against an entire fleet? Or should I ask, you What have you found on the bottom of Europa?"

Vito raised his arms and still stretched his waist. He looked at Bell after being silent for a moment and then glanced at Omega and Kaul who were walking. The loud footsteps of the latter were quite noticeable.

"Trust me, Bell, it's better that you don't know about that, at least for the time being." Vito said softly and put down his arms, but the answer obviously didn't satisfy Bell, but he was loved as soon as he wanted to ask something more. Senstein raised his arm to stop it, and the Imperial Fist Captain looked at Vito.

"What about your order? Marshal, what should we do now?"

"Go to Terra, but before that, we'll have to go to Mars and send our octopus friends back to their happy homes, where they're on Mars and there's a lot to do."

Vito said and pointed to Omega and Cole who were walking on the side, Cole and several Space Marines looked aside, while Vito walked up and patted Cole on the shoulder, "Set the course to go. Mars, in addition to sending them there, I guess Infinite Frontier also needs to replenish its ammunition, doesn't it?"

Cole looked at Vito after hesitating for a moment and then nodded, Vito laughed and patted his shoulder and walked over to the side. He walked to the exit of the hangar, and compared him to him as he passed by. With a thumbs up, the latter laughed at Vito's odd electronic laugh.

Cole and the three Space Marines turned to look at Vito who was walking away. Captain Cole and Eisenstein looked at each other and shouted at Vito in surprise, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"Eat, I haven't eaten a single bite of food since yesterday morning, I'm starving to death." Vito said and walked into the corridor outside the deck, where his figure quickly disappeared. After he left, Cole and Several Astartes looked at each other and shrugged.
