Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 751 07.750: "The First Test of the Son of Darkness"

shhhhhh!
In front of Horatio, the space seemed to be torn apart by a sharp blade, and nine deep portals appeared in an instant.

A faint light flickered, and there seemed to be an unknown force surging inside the door.

The high-level wizard Ukani, who had been severely injured and was on the verge of death, was in a very miserable state at the moment. His face was full of gratitude for surviving the calamity. He screamed excitedly and jumped into one of the portals.

Seeing this, Horatio did not hesitate and chased after him, rushing into the portal like lightning.

But in a flash, he was thrown out from another door by an invisible but irresistible force, drawing an arc in the air and then falling heavily to the ground.

He struggled to stand up and turned his eyes. What came into view was a vast, dreamlike, colorful Milky Way.

The stars are twinkling and the lights are shining. The magnificent sight is awe-inspiring.

Then, a teasing psychic voice entangled in his mind like a thread.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first level of my test, Son of Darkness."

Horatio stood up suddenly, without responding, but gripping his chainsword tightly, ready for the next fight.

However, the voice did not bring about any changes, but only left a sentence:
"I look forward to you bringing me more exciting changes. Have fun."

As he finished speaking, the space in front of him fluctuated, and the scene in front of Horatio changed instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Horatio was no longer in the tomb hall where he had just dueled with Ukani.

At this time, Sister Arabella, sweating profusely, was standing in front of him.

The worry that had been on her face for a long time was finally replaced by excitement.

But soon, her eyes were attracted by the psychic wings slowly emerging behind Horatio, and the touch in her eyes was instantly filled with surprise.

The pair of psychic wings flapped twice, emitting a strange light, and then slowly disappeared. Horatio's back was still smooth and flawless, without any signs of mutation.

"This must be a miracle!"

Court Officer Diana walked up to Horatio with a serious look on her face, her eyes full of amazement, and said, "I have heard about your feat in the battle of the Cathedral of the Goddess. I have always regretted that I was not on duty at the Cathedral of the Goddess that day and was unable to witness it with my own eyes. But today, I finally had the honor of seeing it."

Horatio nodded slightly: "I felt the powerful force of faith, and it was this power that helped me fight against the evil spirits. Thank you for the protection of the Lord of Mankind, and thank you for your help."

"It's mainly due to Sister Arabella's ability. She is the only one among us who can gather such a powerful force of faith." Court Officer Diana said, walking towards Arabella.

Arabella was gently pushed forward by Judge Diana, and was less than thirty centimeters away from Horatio, who was shirtless and had extremely muscular body.

For a moment, she was a little at a loss. In front of her was a firm body of flesh, which also exuded a strong masculine smell of sweat. She didn't know where to look appropriately.

Horatio looked at Arabella, who was blushing and a little nervous, raised his strong arms, gently covered her beautiful black hair, rubbed it gently, and said softly: "Thank you, Arabella. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be in great danger this time."

"You... are injured?" The moment Horatio raised his arm, Arabella was surprised to find that a piece of his shoulder was cut off, and the exposed bright red muscle tissue was still bleeding, and the bright red blood slowly flowed down his arm.

"Does it hurt?" Arabella asked with concern, despite her own tiredness.

Horatio glanced at the wound, then turned his head and forced a smile at Arabella: "A little."

"Welcome back." Arabella smiled back, raised her hand with a slight tremor, and cast a healing spell on his wound.

A soft light enveloped the wound. Horatio first felt a tingling sensation at the wound. He could clearly see that the muscle fibers were growing and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of the light, and the wound was gradually repaired.

When the muscle fibers regrown and intertwined, the new skin tissue wrapped them, and the stinging gradually turned into a warm and comfortable feeling. Horatio turned his head and looked at the altar. There, a black and gold tattered military flag quietly covered a closed object, and the flag was written in gold letters "MCCCX III".

Horatio approached slowly, and he didn't know when the military flag had been planted on the flagpole with the Imperial Sky Eagle emblem.

He wondered in his heart that the flagpole should have been under the protection of the grenadier sergeant.

[Did he put it in?] Horatio was a little surprised.

But then, he seemed to suddenly remember something and his expression tensed.

"Arabella, what time is it?" he asked eagerly.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon at Terra," Arabella replied quickly.

Horatio's eyes suddenly widened: "There are only 1313 minutes left before the 15th Infantry Regiment attacks!"

After that, he grabbed the flagpole and shouted in the direction of Lati: "Lati, contain the alien artifact, and you will be responsible for studying its purpose and control methods! Everyone else, everyone! Follow me to attack!"

After saying this, he stood on a high point and waved the damaged flag vigorously.

At this time, the Krieg soldiers had already broken free from the constraints of the Exorcist Death Zone.

They slowly raised their heads, their eyes focused on the military flag surrounded by golden light.

Then, they silently and uniformly raised their clenched right fists to salute the leader.

They knew very well that their captain, the captain from the Imperial Navy, had overcome powerful enemies and pain and fulfilled his promise as promised.

Now, it was their turn to fulfill their promise to the leader and complete their mission.

Horatio looked around and saw that the tomb hall was filled with densely packed Krieg Death Legion soldiers, stretching as far as the eye could see.

He was confused, not knowing whether it was Staff Officer Clausewitz who was worried and sent reinforcements, or whether it was Farida who sent soldiers from the 1314th Infantry Regiment to reinforce.

But he soon denied the latter.

Because the Krieg soldiers standing below had the red words "1313" Infantry Regiment embroidered on their collars.

This is his soldier.

Although doing so is strictly speaking a violation of military orders, there is no subjective malice and there is no objective error. We will decide whether to pursue the matter after the war.

"Soldiers! We have shed too much blood in this war! These traitors shamelessly attacked us during the parade and took away our regimental flag.

But through fearless courage and selfless devotion to the Emperor, we have taken back the banner once again! These traitors have come to an end! Soldiers!
Follow me and we will attack from the most unexpected part of the tomb, turning into sharp bayonets and piercing the enemy's heart!" Horatio's voice was passionate and high-pitched, echoing in the tomb hall.

Click! The Krieg soldiers raised their guns in unison, their movements quick and clear, showing Horatio that they were ready.

"Charge!!!" Horatio waved the military flag high, regardless of the fact that his upper body was naked. At this moment, he seemed as if he was the tough flagpole.

"The Emperor's holy fire will once again illuminate the darkness of Carpathia!!!" Arabella also shouted loudly, her voice clear and powerful.

"For the Emperor!!!" The sisters shouted in unison, and their voices gathered together like a rolling wave.

They followed Horatio closely as they rushed down the altar, and under the leadership of Thei and the Black Shield Monks who had already figured out the path to the tomb hall, they rushed out from the gate on the other side along with the rolling iron stream formed by the Krieg Death Legion.
