Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 350 The Road to Expedition: Fifty Years and Ten Thousand Years
Vito still remembers the first time he met Peter, in the middle of the Great Crusade. At that time, the Mortal Auxiliary Army under his command and the Mechanicist God Machine Legion suffered heavy losses in the battle of Ulanor. It was a difficult time. Frustrating battle.

Vito still remembers everything that happened on Ulano. As long as he remembers, the smell of dust on the barren planet will be mixed with the pungent diesel smell of green-skin garbage mecha. On that day, the empire lost. Many excellent warriors, both mortal and Astartes.

And Peter appeared at that time. He led his subordinates after the Battle of Ullano, and re-expanded the Sun Auxiliary Army due to serious attrition. They came to the Emperor Dream and merged with Vito. At first, Vito did not believe it. The young man from Terra, and the young Sun Auxiliary soldiers under him.

But after that, Peter and his warriors won Vito's trust with their battles and the victories that followed. Although these young men are hot-blooded and reckless like their marshals, And they always like to die and live, but, like their marshals, they can win in the most difficult and desperate battles.

Peter gets along very well with Vito, perhaps because he is from the Usaka region of Terra, and is also a member of the Slavic bloodline like Vito, although after the Age of Strife, there are no pure-blooded humans on Terra for a long time. , Everyone's genes have mutated to varying degrees, and only Vito can be called a pure-blooded human.

But this does not affect Peter. Although he has nothing to do with the Slavic blood, he still inherits the traditional spirit of the ancient Rus region. Brave, and dared to follow Vito to fight almost impossible wars and win them.

So Vito likes Peter very much, he also likes his soldiers, they are the best soldiers he has brought since the fall of gold, so when they disappeared in the galaxy, Vito was so sad, just As if some parts of his soul had been lost, he never dreamed that he would be able to meet them again.

But now, the dream has become a reality, Vito looked at Peter in front of him, he took off his tactical helmet and looked at Vito, Peter was so young, energetic and never tired in Vito's memory.

But now, Vito saw the little wrinkles on Peter's face, the dark brown hair was still covered with a little white hair, and there were signs of old age on his once energetic face. Peter was old, although he He still has a valiant face, and the implant modification and the empire's body modification technology make him still strong and tough, but he is really old.

Vito looked at Peter, and he stared slightly at the other Sun Soldiers behind Peter. They all took off their helmets. When they lifted their helmets, Vito's mind came up with pictures. The face in memory, the face of youth, but when the helmet was lifted, what caught his eye was a group of veterans, and the white hair and wrinkles turned the young people in memory into old people.

Vito stepped forward and looked at them in astonishment. He didn't know what to say for a while, just watched the old soldiers in front of him with trembling lips. He tried hard to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

Lilith, who was standing behind Vito, was not as surprised as Vito. She looked at the veterans who were just preparing to kill her. She glanced at the soldiers who took off their helmets. All veterans and some young men.

The young Sun Soldiers took off their helmets. They stood behind the veterans with guns and looked at each other. Unlike the old men in front of them, they were not surprised or respectful when they saw Vito. They looked at each other and whispered. Conversing as if discussing a stranger.

Lilith exposed her ears, which were covered by her silver hair. She closed her eyes and listened to the conversation of the young warriors. They looked at Vito curiously and whispered in private.

"He's the marshal? It seems to be a little different from what you imagined." "What do you imagine?" "I don't know how to say it, but it's more handsome than this? There's light on his body, and there's a superhero Cool weapons or something."

The two young people were talking to each other, and another young man walked behind them. He was wearing a heavy sun army armor and walked to the two of them with the hot melt cannon that hit Lilith's shield first. Behind him, he was wearing heavy armor that was larger than the two guys in front of him, overlooking the two in front of him.

"You mean the Emperor, right? Shiny gold, and a cool sword or a gun or something." The heavily armored gunner said, the young man in front of him shrugged, and he carried the blaster gun in his hand. On the shoulder, the firearm looks smoother and flatter than today's laser guns. There are no extra edges and corners, and it is as smooth as a drop of water, with only a diamond-shaped opening at the end.

"I haven't seen the Emperor, of course, and I haven't seen the Marshal. Don't we all know when we listen to the old guys bragging? It's all based on brains."

Lilith opened her eyes, and she looked at the young man on the side with a slight smile, "It's interesting, um, it seems that my trip to the Internet will not be boring."

Lilith said and looked in Vito's direction. He walked in front of Peter and looked at Peter who was only in Vito's stomach with disbelief, but the latter didn't mind the condescending feeling of contempt at all, and immediately. Standing salute to Vito.

"Marshal, I'm glad to see you again. I thought I would never be able to salute you in my life." Peter raised his arms and said loudly. The veterans behind him stood at attention and saluted. His arms were raised neatly, and although their faces were old, their eyes were still very determined and looked at Vito.

Lilith noticed the young people behind them. After watching the veterans salute in front of them, she also salutes Vito after some thought, instead of the veterans' unhesitating manner.

Vito looked at them instead, and after being shocked, Vito also stood up immediately. He raised the power claw on his right arm and saluted them one by one. He glanced at the faces of the veterans and looked carefully. With the soldiers he knew, Vito could call each of them by name.

The years may have blurred their appearance and changed their faces in memory, but Vito still remembers each of them, and even after ten thousand years, he has never forgotten.

"Peter, what are you doing here?" Vito was so excited and surprised that he couldn't say anything. He looked at Peter in front of him, and the latter nodded slightly. He lowered his arms and looked up at Vito's eyes.

Peter looked up at those golden eyes, he looked at the golden electric arc that jumped out of them and sighed long, all the worries in his heart disappeared, he knew that it was Vito in front of him, and they still waited for a long time. For a long time, I thought I would never see the marshals, officers, and friends again in my life.

Peter smiled, and the veterans behind him also showed sincere smiles, "We crashed here, we have been trying to get in touch with the Empire for decades, but have not been successful, I didn't expect to see you again, sir."

"We haven't seen each other in decades, fifty years I think? It's nice to see you again." Peter said with a smile, Vito was stunned after hearing that, then looked at Peter, then looked up again Veterans behind him.

"You say, only fifty years?" Vito asked in surprise, but Peter looked just as confused. He turned his head and glanced at the veterans behind him, who all looked at Peter and shrugged.

"I don't remember the exact time, sir, but I think it's probably fifty years, after all these children are so old." Peter said, and Vito noticed the young people behind them. He has been paying attention to The focus was on reuniting with the veterans, ignoring these young people for a while.

After Vito stared at them for a while, he glanced at the young people standing behind the veterans. Their faces were very young, and every face was full of youth and vitality. They were more like what Vito remembered. He looks like a young man, a young warrior who is not afraid of tigers.

"Are they recruits? Here? In the net?" Vito asked Peter in disbelief, who smiled at the young people behind him with a gun.

"Yes, sir, they're all recruits, and we're trying to make them look more like real soldiers, but I think that. It's going to take a while."

After Vito heard this, he raised his head and looked at the heavy armored gunner to the side. He saw Vito looking over and immediately raised the iron fist of his right hand in a salute. Vito looked at him for a while, then immediately looked at Peter, "These children are, Yours?"

When Vito said these words, there was a hint of smile in the shock. His words made the surrounding veterans embarrassed. They cleared their throats and moved their legs. Some people turned their heads. Use your eyes to warn these little guys behind you to stand up straight and don't embarrass them.

The young people stood up straight under the warning from the veteran's eyes. They looked at Vito's direction with their heads held high, trying to maintain a serious and formal appearance, but Vito could see that they were serious in their hearts. mean nothing.

Vito looked at the young people and laughed suddenly, he swept over them with a wry smile, and the veterans in front of him, "You are all married? The emperor is above, this is really a surprise."

"Yes, sir, we. I promise to make these little guys eligible to serve you." Peter said and looked at the young people behind him. He looked at these recruits and sighed helplessly. There was a kind of old father looking at himself The feeling of arrogant son.

Vito looked at Peter in front of him with his arms in his arms. He jokingly looked at Peter's old father's expression, "Are you married? Are your children here too?"

"No, sir, he's in the fort, not here, although he is." Peter sighed helplessly, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his son, but Vito laughed, he looked at Peter and the veterans, He really didn't think these guys would get married and have a family and have offspring.

I mean, since these guys can be parents?real?Vito still remembered the virtues of Peter and the others back then. They belonged to the guys who, on the level of madness, were no worse than Vito in the slightest. They, since, well, there are so many surprises in this network.

"It's not surprising. After all, it's been sixty years. It's normal to get married and have a child, but I hope I won't forget what it means to identify enemy or self." Lilith said and walked to Vito's side. Holding the long knife in one hand, the back of his hand was on his waist and he looked at Peter.

She pointed with the other finger to her corset that had been burned with a hole and turned into a ripped dress. Peter cleared his throat embarrassingly at the dress. He turned his head murderously to the young people behind him. When I saw Lilith so beautiful that I couldn't describe it in words, I was naturally attracted to her and couldn't turn my eyes away.

They were all staring at Lilith, their eyes were dazzling, but it wasn't their fault, after all Lilith was the queen of succubuses, you know, there's no shame in being attracted to her as a man, well, maybe women are no exception , after all, you know, the Slaanesh succubus is for both men and women.

"All stand at attention for me! Put away your rascal-like eyes! Johnson! Come here!" Peter shouted at the young people, and immediately the young people were so frightened that they stood up again. In front of the gunner, the young soldier who said that Vito did not look like he had imagined, ran quickly to Peter with his gun on his back.

"Colonel!" Johnson ran to Peter and stood at attention. He stood with his head held high in front of Peter, who looked at him gravely, "You said you found an Eldar at the ambush point? You told me Spirit Where is the clan?! Except you made us fight the marshal for a while! The emperor is on top, if the marshal was not wearing power armor, I would definitely kill you now!"

Johnson was a little flustered. He looked at Lilith in confusion, and the latter waved at him with a smile, "I swear Colonel! I definitely see that she is Eldar!"

"Look at her ears, are they pointed? Let you be an observer, not a daydream!" Peter scolded loudly, his voice so loud and full of deterrence, Johnson was shaken back two times. He took a step, subconsciously trying to run away, but this made Peter glared at him even more sharply.

"Stand him, stand at attention before I'm ready to shoot you!" Peter shouted, Johnson was startled and immediately stood up again, he turned to look at Lilith, and carefully re-observed from head to toe Again, she did look human in every sense of the word, but Johnson could have sworn he had seen her in the woods with pointy ears and talking to a dying Eldar.

But now, Lilith just greeted him with a smile and a playful smile, Vito glanced at Lilith beside him, he knew that this girl was playing with this unfortunate child.

Vito smiled and pressed Peter's shoulder, the latter stopped reprimanding, turned to look at Vito, "Okay, get around this kid, recruits always make mistakes on impulse, and this time they didn't. Whatever loss you cause, let it be a lesson."

Peter nodded after listening, he turned his head to look at Johnson beside him, who was still standing nervously, "You hear me? Thank you marshal, brat, I'll spare you this time, and I'll do this stupidity again next time. It's a low-level mistake, I'll hang you on the bridge deck for two days and then talk about it!"

"Yes!" Johnson said loudly, the nervous expression made his face extremely nervous and funny, Vito laughed at the expression, and Lilith next to him also grabbed Vito's arm and turned his head. Laughing, it made Johnson even more nervous and embarrassed.

Peter smiled too, and he waved to the young man, "Okay, let's go down, come back to the team." "Yes, sir!"

As Johnson said, he turned and strode to the team behind him. Peter smiled and looked at the young man who had gone away, but suddenly the sunlight was blocked on the ground in front of him, and a tall figure blocked the light. Peter was surprised. Turning his head, he saw the tall red giant who came forward and stood behind Vito.

He looked down at Peter in front of him, the red-gold one eye gleaming in the shadows, Peter was startled when he saw him, and then immediately saluted him, "Lord Magnus, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Are you happy to see me?" Magnus said in surprise. He looked at Peter in front of him with incomprehension. He didn't yell at the traitor, and then took the gun and shot himself twice?Rather happy to see yourself?
Magnus was puzzled, but Peter was equally astonished at Magnus's doubts, he shrugged slightly, "I heard that Orospero had an accident, Lord Ruth and you have some misunderstandings. There was a conflict, but I think since you and the marshal came together, it means that the misunderstanding is still resolved, right?"

He didn't know what happened to Prospero, which was not surprising, because the news of the Burning of Prospero, and the news of Magnus' betrayal of the Emperor, reached Terra that they and the Emperor's Dream had already They disappeared into the galaxy in order to lure away the invading fleet of the Iron Hands, and they didn't know what happened.

Magnus looked at Peter, who was not hostile in front of him. He looked at himself with respect, even friendliness. Magnus didn't remember how many years he had not tasted this kind of taste. Love, in the warp, everyone in Tzeentch's Demon Realm stabbed each other with knives, and there was no trust or friendship to speak of.

But Magnus could feel those emotions in Peter's eyes, those feelings that Magnus thought he had long forgotten. He raised his head and looked around at the veterans like Peter, who were not hostile to him at all. , even, love, love for a human guardian.

Vito turned his head slightly to look at Magnus, he looked at Magnus who said nothing, and then looked down at Peter, who also seemed to have noticed the peculiarity of Vito's power armor, and Peter carefully observed After wearing the armor, he raised his head to look at Vito's face.

"I've never seen you in power armor, Marshal."

"Wow, the times are always changing, so let's keep pace with the times." Vito said with a smile, while Peter looked at the power armor for a long time and was silent for a while. He knew the power armor and went with Terra The last time he looked at the Emperor from a distance, the power armor the Emperor was wearing was exactly the same, the only difference was that it was much smaller.

"Marshal, have we won Horus' Rebellion? I think your power armor is the same as the Emperor. How is the Emperor?"

Vito looked down at Peter in front of him and was silent for a moment. He raised his head without life or death and looked at the messy glade around him. "This is not suitable for small talk. I have a lot of questions to ask you, and I believe you have too."

"Indeed, sir, this place is not suitable for small talk, please come with me. I dare say that if everyone knows you are here, they will be very excited to see you, especially Captain Renata."

"Rena? Renata is still alive?" Vito said excitedly, he knelt down on one knee in front of Peter, he held Peter's shoulder and asked, the latter smiled happily, he nodded slightly .

"Yes, sir, everyone is still there, they are in the direction of the battleship, come with me." Peter said, carrying the gun, Vito looked at Peter who turned and walked towards the woodland, he greeted Vito and his party , and then walked into the forest.

Vito watched as the veterans and young men around him were followed with guns, and they looked around warily with their guns and followed Peter, and walked into the dense woodland, where Vito was also with the horses. Gnus and Lilith nodded to each other, got up and followed.

Vito followed Peter through the woodland. He was wearing a golden power armor and followed behind Peter. The canopy above his head was rustling in the wind, and the sun was cut into countless fragments by the dense forest, shining on Vito's body. , the fragments of the sun kept flashing across his face.

He walked forward, Magnus and Lilith were behind him, they walked in the middle of the Sun Army soldiers on both sides, followed by Peter, who was leading the front, and walked across the path in the woods, surrounded by the Sun Army soldiers. Surrounded by Vito, he soon saw the end of the forest path, which was a ray of light, a bright sunny area.

Vito stepped out into the light, and his vision was suddenly engulfed by the sunlight, but gradually Vito's eyes adapted to the strong light, and the scene began to appear in the halo.

After Vito shook his head, his eyes saw Peter standing on the hill in front of him in the bright sunlight. He stood on the grass in the sunshine with a gun and nodded slightly to signal Vito to come up. The latter looked at Peter, Then he went up the hill.

Vito stood on the hill and looked forward, his eyes widened, those golden eyes reflecting golden light in the sunlight, and in those eyes what Vito saw was reflected.

In the valley in front of him, a warship fell between the forest and the mountains. It crouched on the ground like a crouching dragon. The huge hull almost ran through both ends of the entire valley. In the forest surrounded by green trees In the middle, the huge thrusters towered up from the jungle, just like its body, the armor gleamed in the sun, and the lightning symbol branded on it shone with golden light.

"The Emperor's Dream," Vito said softly.
