Chapter 337 The Rise of the Primarch: The Burning Terra
The mechanical transmission shafts are engaged with each other along with the roar of the gears. The rapidly rotating transmission shaft and the heavy hydraulic rod use a unique sound to write this unique chapter of machinery. It belongs to a kind of icy movement, which belongs to The movement of the body of all machines.

But soon, the cold feeling will be dissipated by the temperature. In the physical sense of temperature, the interior of the dark steel body instantly lit up with a scorching light, and the crimson beam quickly appeared in the dark space, and then quickly spread until Everything in the entire narrow channel was engulfed in that light.

The fiery light is no longer bound, it flies out of the pipe after rapid expansion, and the blazing huge beam is like the scorching sun that appears above the earth, with a mixture of red and golden light rushing towards the sky at the speed of destruction. , when it penetrated the dust cloud swept up by orbital bombardment and global war, the entire sky was instantly illuminated by flames.

The heavy ground-based turbo laser cannon, branded with the Imperial Skyhawk logo, shone its own gleaming beam in the middle of the entire city, it burned the sky, and shot its own fire of destruction into the sky, which was constantly flashing with explosive flames. , with the penetration of the beam, soon a new fire light appeared in the gray sky.

The whole sky is burning, like a churning cloud of fire and rain, the firelight constantly flashing in the dark clouds is accompanied by the bright beam of the laser cannon, the sporadic artillery shells falling from the dark clouds, those who have passed through the dense air defense fire net. The orbital bombardment hit the void shield above the city, and the fire exploded and spread from the blue shield surface in an instant, sweeping everything along the shield surface rapidly.

Those firelights illuminated the upper floors of the endless steel city of Terra, and the outer walls of all high-rise buildings were completely lit up by the cannon fire, and the unbroken glass reflected colors under the beams.

Also reflecting the fire of destruction is the statue of the emperor under the tall dome corridor. It is a magnificent golden statue. He holds the burning holy sword in front of him with both hands. behind the huge stained glass windows, looking out at the sky above.

The golden eyes of the emperor statue made of gold stared into the sky, the flash of artillery fire in the dark clouds, and the churning sea of ​​flames constantly exploding on the Void Shield, shining the light of the flames on the face of the emperor statue, shining on the face of the emperor statue. On those godless eyes.

The constant burst of explosive firelight shone on the statue of the emperor, and huge shadows were continuously cast behind the stalwart statue. The shadow of the tall body sometimes leaned back, sometimes tilted to one side, under the firelight of different explosions, The shadows of the Emperor all showed different angles of coverage.

With the explosion of an orbital bombardment shell that pierced the sky, the shadow of the Emperor leaned over the pavement of the corridor, and the huge shadow shrouded a tall being standing in the corridor.

He stood under the shadow, and soon the light of the new artillery fire shone into the corridor, his body was re-illuminated in the shadow, and the raging flames burned violently on the Void Shield, sending the striking light from the corridor. The light from the towering floor-to-ceiling windows above illuminated his whole body unobstructed.

He was wearing the exact same golden armor as the Emperor behind him, and the wings of the eagle on his chest gleamed under the firelight. The golden sun wheel burning behind his head mixed with the light of the artillery fire, completely illuminating it. The face with black eyes.

His dark eyes looked at the sea of ​​flames in front of him, and his dark pupils flickered with light. He just stood in this dark corridor. There were no lights on here, because there was no need for it. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows on each wall of the building will continuously illuminate the firelight from the outside.

The entire corridor was completely lit up in the firelight, especially the Emperor Icon standing in the center. Its whole body reflected golden light in the flames, and the Emperor's face looked up at the burning patch. the sky, just like the people standing before him, they all looked up at the sea of ​​fire together.

"Wow, it looks like we're a little bit worse this time around, no Dorne, no Sanguinius and Khans here, and their legions fighting the traitor army on Terra, blocking the ones you created The only demigods are the mortal warriors from all over Terra."

The man in the golden armor looked at the sea of ​​​​fire rolling in the air and said with a smile, he held his arms in his arms, and the huge power claws stretched out from under his armpits and clamped under it, "And you, ah, you didn't have the same relationship as last time. What's the difference, when Horus came, you were squatting on the toilet, and when his son came, you were still squatting on the toilet."

"Damn, you really left me with all the mess, or else you should get up quickly, reopen it, and destroy it if you are tired." The man smiled helplessly and sighed, his entire face under the sea of ​​fire It was clearly visible, and there was no shadow under the eyebrows and chin, and the whole face seemed to be smoothed out.

He sighed and rubbed his head, the man shook his head, turned his head and glanced at the statue behind him, "But no matter what, I have to help you, to help humans guard here, you can't just kick your legs now if you want to stand up. , and then lightning back in a second, right?"

The golden statue of the Emperor looked up at the sky without a word. The man rolled his eyes at the statue and cut his eyes. He turned his head and looked out the window to the black smoke billowing and the war-torn Terra, "Helen, dear, we have any news?"

"Do you want to hear the good news first, or the bad news first? Sir." Helen suddenly appeared on Vito's palm, and Helen, whose body was formed by the blue light, stood on the big hand, almost completely fitting the skin. The straitjackets that were together faintly reflected the firelight outside the window.

"What's the good news? Are you going to show me a fancy swimsuit?" "I can't understand your thinking, sir, no, of course not."

"It's a pity, what's the good news? Abaddon was suddenly entrusted by his father in a dream, telling him to respect the old and love the young, and not to disturb his grandfather Emperor, and his second uncle?"

"I don't know if Abaddon can still understand this custom, so no, the good news is that although most of the orbital defense array on Terra was destroyed by the enemy, the automatic array I controlled is basically complete and still Air-to-air interception and fire."

Helen's short hair composed of light particles was drawn from her forehead. She reached out and lifted the hair in front of her eyes. The blue glowing eyes composed of data streams stared at the sea of ​​fire above her head together with Vito behind her.

"I re-coded Terra's orbital defense system, sir, let me put it this way, the code that the mechanic taught you to write is just as shit, it's computationally slow and buggy, and the system I spent five minutes reprogramming is better than They're a thousand times better, maybe more."

"Understand, the brains of the oil guys are still binary, how can they compare with your super-computing brain of an excellent artificial intelligence? Your computing power is estimated to be able to smash the brains of all the oil guys including Kaur. "

Vito smiled and said, and he laughed rarely, since the beginning of the defense of Terra, Vito hadn't really laughed much, both to maintain his majesty in front of Terra officials and generals and to scare them, but The more reason is the current situation in Terra. Indeed, he doesn't feel that he can laugh at all. If you don't understand why, just look up at the sea of ​​fire above your head and you'll understand.

But facing Helen, Vito still laughed. He shrugged slightly and glanced at the statue of the Emperor behind him, "That's why he let you connect to the system, you see, isn't it useful?"

"Indeed, he is right. I deleted all of Terra's systems and wrote a new one. Now Terra's firepower efficiency has increased by more than a dozen grades, and all defense systems are operating efficiently. Stopped 68% of the orbital bombardment fire, so now nests all over the place are still standing without being blasted to the ground."

"And the defenders in various places can also rely on the complex hives that are still strong, and fight against the traitors in every street and tunnel. Your re-written city municipal system is still in operation. Miracles can still be Run, to ensure that the guerrillas and local trapped civilians can persist in those broken places."

Vito looked at the explosion above his head, and the Void Shield was constantly flashing with explosive flames, Helen also looked at the Void Shield and shrugged slightly, "And this Void Shield, this shield system is the only one I haven't deleted. written, but just enhanced and remodeled the following program."

"After all, it's the source code system of the golden age. When the palace was built, I dug it out with Waldo from the technology warehouse of the Watt Technology Alliance. I have to say that the code program is well maintained by those technical dead houses. , the golden age has collapsed for so long, since it is connected to the system, it can be used."

"It also made a contribution back then. When Horus besieged Terra, this shield has been standing firm and standing, and it has received all kinds of bombardments from all the traitor legion fleets. Now it seems that it has also made a great contribution. "

Vito looked at the Void Shield above his head. He shrugged and looked up at the fire clouds churning in the explosion, "What about the bad news? Come on, when Omega gave me a medical examination last time, he said my heart was okay."

"The communication system is abolished. Abaddon took his traitors to blow up the main tower of Terra's communication, and physically cut off my communication network. Therefore, we lost contact with the defenders everywhere. Strictly speaking, we still have Communication with all troops outside the palace was also cut off."

"Oh, by the way, Cairo's orbital elevator was also destroyed, how is it sir? Is your heart okay?" Helen said coldly, she turned her head blankly to the side of Vito, who was almost killed He couldn't catch his breath, he coughed and touched his chest.

"Damn, why are you as vicious as that girl?" "Helena? Maybe, sir, do you need me to call you a doctor? Bell and the others are back, and I detected that their Thunder Eagle flew into the palace. Radar identification range, if you need, I can summon him through the system."

"No, you dead girl, remember to say the bad news first and then the good news next time, or I will be beaten to death by such a roller coaster experience sooner or later." "Okay, sir."

Helen said expressionlessly, but looking at Vito who was in a state of embarrassment in front of her, a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She turned her head slightly and looked at the other end of the corridor and raised her head, "Someone is coming."

Vito looked at Helen, and then looked in that direction. Someone was indeed coming. A tall figure was walking from the corridor. His golden armor shone in the flickering gunfire outside the window. The lion's fur also stood out like snow under the firelight.

"Commander Trajan." Vito said, turning sideways and hiding Helen's CD behind him. He quietly closed the CD and put it in his pocket, but Vito's expression always maintained a calm smile. , it doesn't look like it's hiding anything scary at all.

Yes, I know Helen isn't scary, she's even a little pretty, but trust me, you'll know if she's scary when you take her out in front of the Mechanicum, the State Church, and officials from various departments of the Empire.

"Did you come back from the Americas? How is the situation over there?" Vito asked Trajan with a smile, but the commander-in-chief of the Custodians walked towards the flickering firelight in the corridor with no hint of a smile on his face.

"Very bad." "Well, to be expected."

Vito said and turned his head to look at the sea of ​​fire outside the window. He looked up at the explosion above his head with his hands behind his back and sighed softly. Trajan came up from the side, holding his storm axe and stopped at Vito. A few steps away from Tuo.

"Everyone is here, Marshal, they are waiting for you in the conference hall."

"No, it's not all there yet." Vito said, looking at the golden Thunder Eagle whizzing past the window. The fighter plane flew past under the flaming void shield, and when it approached the garden apron outside the palace, it quickly flew towards the tarmac. One side slides, the vector jets adjust their position, and the flight inertia is completely offset by the recoil force in an instant, so that it glides and stably hovers above the apron.

"It's all here now, send someone to bring them in, and then we'll start." Vito said and turned and walked towards the end of the corridor. As he passed Trajan, the commander looked at the passing marshal, and then bowed his head.

Trajan stared at Vito who was walking towards the end. He was holding the storm axe and turned his head slightly to look at the emperor icon beside him in the firelight. "I hope you will bless us, my lord."

Trajan followed Vito away, and they disappeared at the end of the corridor, while the icon of the Emperor was still standing in the corridor, looking up at the burning sky, the explosion of fire illuminating his face, a huge The shadow shone behind it, and the shadow seemed to move in the firelight.
