Chapter 326 The Rise of the Primarch: The Palace Summons

The cold wind blew between the huge white stone pillars. The snow-white stone pillars were crystal clear and smooth, like a solidified mirror standing between the magnificent colonnades. On those stone pillars, a towering snow-capped mountain was reflected. The towering majestic mountain was reflected on the surface of the marble columns, like a picture scroll in a fairyland, a magnificent natural scenery that could never exist on Terra today.

But that is not an artist's imaginative work, but a real scene in front of him, just outside the colonnade, outside the disc-shaped semi-open lobby.

Bell walked out from behind the colonnade. He walked behind the snow-white stone pillars and looked at the magnificent snow-capped mountain. It was a towering mountain in the world. , Those mountains all have towering peaks, like a group of towers to the sky.

But among them, there is only one mountain that is the tallest, a holy snow-capped mountain, whose peaks are eternally covered with pure white snow, and among the peaks of which he is surrounded by mountains, a pillar stretches high into the sky, towering high. The mountain peaks that entered the clouds went straight into the sky, and stood at the highest point filled with white mist.

Bell looked up at the highest peak of Terra called the Himalayas, and on its towering mountains stood a taller tower, a majestic tower that was attached to the Himalayas and almost inserted itself into the universe through its altitude. .

The tower shone with infinite rays of light like the sun, and the dazzling rays of light shone on the top of the cloud-filled mountain. Looking up on the ground, the lighthouse seemed to be a forever shrouded in fog, but when you look at the scale of the universe Go to it and you will witness its grandeur, its light can be observed throughout the universe, even in the most distant corners.

The light of the beacon is the protector of all navigators, their guide through the endless warp storms and twisted voids, and the direction of the safe haven. It is the star torch, which is burned and rotated by the Emperor himself. , the great tower that has maintained the empire for thousands of years.

Bell looked up at the giant tower with awe and curiosity. The young Ultramarine looked up at the light of the star torch with his azure eyes, and the towering lighthouse was shining brightly at the top of the mountain.

The cold wind in the snow-capped mountains blew from a distance and hit the face of the young Ultramarine. He looked up at the mountains and snow-capped peaks in front of him, and behind him, Captain Eisenstein came up. He came out of the colonnade and looked up at the towering tower with him.

"Have you ever seen such a miraculous existence? Company commander, have you ever seen a more shining existence than it in your long life?" Bell looked up at the light of the star torch and asked in amazement, the love beside him Sunstein looked up at the Star Torch just like him, and the old company commander of the Imperial Fist shook his head slightly, his eyes reflecting the light of the Star Torch.

"No, never, except for the Golden Throne itself and the great emperor on it, there is no holy and holy existence in this galaxy." Eisenstein looked at the star torch and said with emotion, he long He sighed with emotion, and in an instant, many things flashed in front of his eyes.

In the dark arena of Comoros, and with tragic battles, some for the Emperor's glory, and others just for the sake of satisfying the deplorable desires of the Dark Eldar, all of a sudden, Eisenstein's Realizing how long it has been since all that, how long it has been since I left Terra.

"I didn't think I'd see it again, Emperor Light, I thought I would die in the dark Comoros without light, I thought I couldn't look at the Emperor Light for a second, But now I'm standing here, in the palace, looking up at his light again."

Eisenstein looked up at the star torch with emotion, while Bell raised his hand and put his shoulders on him. Here, Captain, stand on Terra again, this time you won't leave the radiant range again."

"I, we will fight with you under that light, to keep that light of truth," Bell said so solemnly, and Eisenstein nodded gratefully to his young brother, who smiled. He also pressed Bell's shoulder.

"Knowing you, and Loken, Ragnar and Lancelot, Olaf is the greatest blessing in my life, my brother, I will fight with you until the end of my life. Loyal to our friendship."

"Of course, there is also the marshal, I think he is late." Eisenstein said and looked towards the inside of the hall. In this huge hall stood stone pillars, and those giant pillars surrounded the edge of the hall to support The semi-open grand dome also supported the huge hall itself.

The light of the star torch and the cold wind of the Himalayas blew into this hall, but this did not make the people waiting here discouraged or wanted to leave.

Eisenstein looked at the people waiting here, of course not only him and Bell, but also the other people here waiting for Vito's meeting, of course, Vito was late as always, he was never on time , or in his own words, it's better to be accurate than coincidence, although it sounds to Eisenstein that it's just that he's just wrangling to make excuses for himself.

But it is precisely because of this that there are several people waiting for Vito with them here. Eisenstein looked at the two mortal officers standing behind the stone pillar on the right. They were all dressed in ridiculously gorgeous clothes. They are decorated with golden threads of gold and expensive gems, and the carefully managed distribution and disguise can also be seen as painstaking efforts, and of course, there is a lot of money.

Eisenstein can guarantee that any gem on their body is worth the price of a whole Thunderhawk. Selling all of their clothes can probably be replaced by a Knight Titan. This is no joke. The beautiful decorations add up to the price.

They obviously thought that it was necessary to meet the Supreme Marshal, but they never thought about it, Vito was famously disgusted with such extravagance and pompousness, and he even felt stupid and wasteful to look at the gothic architecture of the mainstream of the empire. , not to mention the indescribable amount of waste on the two of them.

Eisenstein thought and turned to look at the other person, who was obviously much more low-key and pragmatic. It was a lady, a female warrior to be precise, wearing a dress that was slightly different from that of the fighting nuns. Combat armor, but the biggest difference from the nuns is in the color. It is different from the silver power armor of the nuns. It is a golden armor, a golden armor that shines like a forbidden army. .

Eisenstein looked at the female fighter carefully. She wore a unique mask on her face. The golden mask branded with the spread-winged eagle covered half of her face, and her silver eyes looked straight ahead calmly. , shining like a pure white gem.

The most striking thing about her is undoubtedly her hairstyle. Her hairstyle is quite special. The long snow-white hair is braided in a high bun to stand up, and then falls down over the top of the head. It looks like a silver waterfall.

The lady stood in the center of the hall, staring at the front door motionless in the cold wind. She was as calm as a statue, and her own tranquility also spread to the surrounding environment. Her presence alone seemed to make Everything around was silent, the wind, the conversation and all the sounds disappeared.

Eisenstein looked at her and frowned slightly, he looked at her carefully, "Bell, you are more knowledgeable than me, tell me that is a battle nun?"

After listening to Bell, he looked at the female warrior carefully, he looked at her seriously and thought for a while before showing a surprised expression, "I think yes, this is the only reasonable explanation, but I never Having seen her battle armor, I fought with Marshal Vito for a long time, because you know, he likes to "communicate" with all kinds of ladies, including a considerable number of battle nuns."

"Accurately speaking, it is all the nuns of the religious order. He seems to be collecting achievements, but because of this, I have seen and understood all the fighting nuns of the religious order."

"What about this female warrior? Is he in the monasteries you know?" Eisenstein slightly tilted his head and asked, but Bell shook his head and looked at the female warrior frowning.

"No, no, never, she doesn't belong to any order I've ever met."

Bell was about to say something else, but his words were interrupted. He and Eisenstein both closed their mouths and looked at the slowly opening door ahead. The giant door opened slowly, and everyone They all looked over, as did Bell, Eisenstein, and the two luxuriously dressed officials who were sheltering from the cold wind at the edge of the hall.

A man in high armor walked out of the gate. He had a friendly and quite friendly smile on his face, but that smile was nothing compared to the bright halo that flashed behind his head, and he followed behind him. A squad of forbidden troops.

Commander Trajan, dressed in the shirt of the white lion, followed Vito with an axe on his back, and behind him was a small guard of five custodians, but believe me, each of these five people is absolutely the best. An entire row of Space Marines, or even more, you don't have any intention of going up and doing something, and having a game with them.

"My friends, welcome to the palace, I'm sorry for being late, this ghost place is too big." Vito smiled and walked into the hall surrounded by the golden armored guards. The woman standing in the center of the hall When the soldier saw Vito approaching, he immediately knelt down. She knelt down on one knee in front of Vito and lowered her high tresses.

Eisenstein and Bell also walked up quickly from the direction behind him. He also knelt down beside the female warrior. The remaining two high-ranking mortal officials also trotted to join them. They all knelt in the hall before Vito came up. in the center, waiting for a great being to meet them.

Vito walked up to them with a smile, and the Supreme Marshal looked at them with a slightly embarrassed smile, "This is not a formal occasion, you don't need to be so strict, my friends, please get up."

Although he said so, it was obvious that everyone was still kneeling on the ground, and had no plans to stand up at all, but when Vito was about to say something, Trajan stepped forward and interrupted him.

"I beg your pardon, Marshal, and before I do, allow me to introduce you to this battle sister, who is from"

"Sister Silent, yes I know Trajan." Vito said with a smile as he looked at the female warrior in front of him, "I recognized her as soon as I came in, the golden female armor and the high ponytail, Even in ten thousand years I'll recognize it, the left hand of the Emperor's right hand, the noble sister of the Sisters of Silence."

Of course, the more important reason is that Vito can feel her presence across several corridors. The existence of the untouchables will inhibit the stability of the psionic energy and thus cut off the existence of the psionic energy. Disrupting and affecting the mind and spirit of the psionic user is manifested as a splitting headache and dizziness.

And very unfortunately, Vito is a psionic user. Although he doesn't use it very often, it still doesn't change the fact that he is the strongest psionicist who can still walk in the entire universe. Yes, he had already started to have a headache across eight streets, especially after walking in here, it was a headache to death, so he recognized her identity at a glance, and recognized her with pain.

"Nice to meet you here, nun, what is your name?" Vito asked politely, and that smile that had a unique charm for women, or a seductive smile surfaced on his face again, although I also It's hard to say whether this was on purpose, or just out of an "instinct", a never-serious, old-fashioned instinct that just wanted to take a dip when she saw a pretty girl.

"Theresia, Marshal, I pledge my allegiance to you on behalf of my sisters." Apparently this nun did not take Vito's tricks, perhaps her psionic interference affected not only Vito's psionic power, but also his Unique charm?Wait, is Vito's unique charm to women related to psionic power, a passive skill or something?
But anyway, Vito's set won't work for the nun in front of him, but Vito doesn't plan on dating her anyway, and seriously, dating and sleeping with her is the ultimate test of Vito's will, you know, start over The kind of test that the brain hurts to the end, so let's forget it.

Vito still kept a friendly smile. Although he had a terrible headache, he still smiled and looked at the nun in front of him, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Teresia, have you just arrived in Terra?"

"No, it's been a while since the Marshal. We went to the Roman hive to clean up the Chaos Cultists under the order of Commander Trajan, so we couldn't accept your summons with the Custodians. Your Excellency, please forgive me."

"You didn't make a mistake, how can you forgive me?" Vito smiled and stretched out a hand and handed it to Teresia, who was puzzled by the iron palm that was stretched out in front of her, she raised her head to look at Vito Tuo's eyes were full of confusion.

Vito continued to laugh, and he shook his palm gently, "A gentleman, you have to help the lady up, don't you? Come on, give me a chance to be this graceful."

Teresia hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and held Vito's hand, he stood up under Vito's pull and stood in front of him, Vito smiled and gently pressed the shoulder of the former female warrior below, " Nice to be with you, Teresia, and hopefully your lovely girls will be happy to join me in slaughtering Abaddon and his puppies."

"Our honor, my lord." "It's mine too, okay, Bell, Eisenstein stand up for me."

Vito smiled and walked over in front of Theresia. He walked over to the two Astartes and pulled them up directly. Bell and Eisenstein felt the powerful force, the Emperor's power armor. Make Vito's strength unparalleled, and he can pull two Astartes from the ground in one fell swoop.

Bell and Eisenstein looked at Vito, who was already about their height in front of them, the latter wearing the Emperor's golden armor standing in front of them and smiling, Vito patted the armor on his chest, "Well, not bad Right? The effect of increasing the height of the armor is great, and I won't have to raise my head to talk to you in the future, every time I think I will get cervical spondylosis."

Eisenstein and Bell looked at each other. They were both completely dumbfounded. They were completely speechless when they saw the power armor on Vito. They and everyone in Astarte knew this armor. They have heard of this golden armor in countless murals and countless stories.

Eisenstein stared wide-eyed at Vito in front of him in shock. For a moment, Eisenstein thought it was the Emperor who stood up. He looked at the golden armor and knelt on the ground involuntarily. As if it were his Primarch, Rog Donne himself in front of him.

The same is true for Bell. When Vito just walked through the door, he instantly believed that it was the Emperor himself. The shock and boundless passion hit his chest in an instant, and even now he could still feel his heart pounding. Beating, Astarte's two hearts beat violently at the same time, hitting every corner of his chest.

The two were completely speechless, but Vito in front of him spoke first, he laughed and patted Bell's shoulder in front of him, "Okay, don't look at me like a monkey, tell me about the boat Is it okay? Those bastards didn't come to steal our stuff, did they?"

"Yes, my lord, everything is normal." Bell was stunned for a while before he suddenly spoke, just like a doll that jumped up and down after being wound up. Vito smiled and pressed Bell's shoulder, turning his head to look. To the two mortal high officials around him.

"Looks like you're doing a good job of managing your people, Mr. Hancock, the Undersecretary of War."

"Of course, my lord! I have strictly implemented military discipline according to your order, and all those who take advantage of the chaos and disturb your iron law have been dealt with seriously!" Hancock knelt on the ground and said repeatedly, his voice trembling. , obviously very nervous.

Vito smiled and raised his hand slightly to signal him to stand up, "Stand up, Deputy Minister Hancock, I'm used to talking face-to-face with my subordinates, instead of facing me with the back of my head lowered."

"Yes! Your lord!" Hancock quickly stood up from the ground, but Mr. Huck, who was still kneeling on the ground beside him, didn't dare to move at all, his whole body was shaking, Vito watched him helplessly and walked over They looked at Huck in front of them, who buried his head even lower in horror as Vito walked in front of him.

"You too, stand up Mr. Harker, as the new Director General of the Ministry of State, I want you to stand up and speak to me."

"Follow your orders! Your lord!" Huck stood up tremblingly. He looked at Vito in front of him and Hancock beside him, as timid as they were. Seizures, and then hung up in front of himself.

Vito looked at the two people in front of him with a wry smile. He knew why they were nervous. After all, the bosses of their respective departments had just been killed by him. As the new ministerial candidates who were selected to replace the vacant positions, of course they would be very concerned about themselves. nervous.

It's ironic to say that, it stands to reason that the former ministers have died, and their vacant positions should be very popular. Everyone was silent, and everyone stayed far away. It took Vito a lot of effort to find out these two relatively most reliable people and directly appoint them, although it seems that they did not avoid it because of this. Just be afraid of yourself.

"The former ministers of your respective departments were killed because of their incompetence. If you are the ones who can complete the task and don't let me down, you don't need to be afraid of me."

"Yes, my lord." The two timid new ministers said tremblingly, while Vito sighed helplessly. After all, they should get used to it soon.

"General Hancock, have the Astral Army and the Defense Forces under your command completed the deployment?" Vito directly started the topic. He asked them to make a debriefing report, so now is the time to start.

Hancock immediately raised his head to look at Vito and saluted, he looked at Vito in awe, his eyes were as round as a ping-pong ball, "Reporting to the marshal, I have strictly followed your orders, and I have followed your orders. Not bad! Everyone arrived on time and on time and progressed the mission."

"Oh? To repeat, what did I tell you?"

"As ordered! The order is as follows, send troops to quickly restart and restore all orbits, as well as ground defense facilities, and restart all repairs that have fallen into disrepair, especially the Paris Hive, Berlin Hive and Constantinople Hive and Moscow Hive The key defense hubs such as Hive in New York and Hive in Tehran must be effectively restarted.”

"And at the same time, step up the deployment of troops in each hive, distribute heavy weapons and portable armor-piercing weapons to the defense forces of each hive, carry out urban street battles after the Chaos Landing, kill the enemy as much as possible and delay the enemy's attack, especially It is part of the Europa Province and the Slavic Province, they need to cooperate with the palace troops to defend the Lions Gate, the retelling is over! But."

"But?" Vito asked softly, and then General Hancock fell to his knees, trembling in front of Vito.

"I'm sorry, my lord! We have disappointed you. Many Terra's orbital defense systems are too old because Terra has not been attacked for thousands of years. Even if the soldiers restarted, they didn't know how to operate. Please forgive our incompetence!"

After listening, Vito smiled silently. He had already expected this result. "It doesn't matter Marshal, I will handle those facilities myself. You don't need to worry about them. When Chaos strikes, they will fire on the Chaos fleet by themselves."

"But my lord, how should you fire when no one is operating?" Hancock raised his head vigilantly and asked Vito, who smiled and raised his hand to signal him to stand up, "You don't need to ask this question. Come on, my girls will fix this, stand up now."

"What about you? Mr. Huck, is the migration plan I asked you to complete?" Vito asked Huck after Hancock stood up, who took out a handkerchief and wiped nervously on his forehead. And the cold sweat appeared.

"Yes, my lord, we have also carried out population migration in the area of ​​Terra, and moved the main population to the area where the current defense force can effectively protect it. The local government affairs department and the Ministry of Justice and the defense force cooperated with it. Evacuation work, transfer the residents to the palace, and the core nests of the various regions."

"Is there any trouble and need my help?" Vito asked with a smile, which frightened Mr. Harker enough that he hurriedly shook his head and almost fell to his knees.

"No no no! Although there are some problems in the migration work in some places, we will solve the problem, no need to trouble you! We will solve it, just."

"Looks like you still need my help, doesn't it?"

"Please forgive your lord!" Huck finally knelt down, watching this scene Vito sighed speechlessly, "Kneeling again, what's the problem? Can't you stand up and say it?"

"My lord! We need food, food! There are also supplies. Although we have opened the warehouses for the supplies that the high lords hoarded privately, the reserves before Terra are far from enough. The civilians need food, otherwise you The riots that have just subsided are bound to happen again!"

Huck knelt on the ground and didn't dare to lift his head and said, his hands on the ground were shaking, and his legs were shaking under him, "I will work hard to solve the problem! I promise you my lord!"

"Through the bullet? No, no need." Vito said, Wei Wei turned his head and looked in the direction of Eisenstein. The latter was stunned for a moment, and it was different from why the marshal wanted to see him, but suddenly his communicator turned off. It rang, and Eisenstein turned on the communicator to listen to the words and looked at Vito.

"Marshal, Loken reports that the Martian Mechanicus fleet has arrived on Terra, and they are waiting for your reception at Starport."

Vito smiled, he turned his head and smiled and looked at Huck, who was kneeling in front of him, "Look, the supplies you want are here, stand up now, and follow me to Star Harbor to receive gifts from our allies Well, I don't believe I need to tell you how to do the rest."

Vito said and turned and walked to the door behind him. Trajan and the Custodians naturally followed behind him, followed by Sister Teresia and the two Astartes who followed him.

Huck and Hancock breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at each other, and they nodded to each other and hurried up, chatting quietly as they followed.

"He did a miracle! Since he really did everything he promised, I didn't believe it at first!"

"You idiot, Huck, how can you not believe him? He's a god! There's nothing he can't do!"

Well, I think their emotion towards Vito may have one more emotion besides fear, which is called worship, worship of a "god".
