Warhammer Inquisitor - Chapter 555

  Chapter 555 The Rise of the Lion King: Night Gala

   “The city is burning.”

   “I thought you were going to say let the galaxy burn.”

  Vito walked past Serksos as he spoke, and boarded the open-air platform between the tall buildings, overlooking the blazing buildings and streets below. Black smoke billowed up, and the firelight illuminated the blood-red sky.

“Damn it, who lit the fire?” “Sir, you have to look at this.” Helen said suddenly, Vito raised his arm, and the screen of the communicator above flickered, “This is Commissar Caphas Kane. Government, the Tau ambassador is dead, repeat, the ambassador is dead.”

“Damn, has anyone heard this message?” “Everyone, sir, this message is not encrypted, or it is rushed, or the reason for the communication channel firewall breakdown, this message is clear, which means.” “Anyone with a receiver can hear it, **** it.”

  Vito overlooked the blazing streets below. Among the flaming buildings, bullets roared, and barrages of bullets rose into the sky, accompanied by rolling and dull explosions.

That’s not the sound of rockets or explosives, but heavy artillery. Damn, this situation is almost like someone lit a fire, and then someone poured a barrel of gasoline on it. “Who is spending tonight on the street?” “Everyone, the chief, the separatists, the defense forces, the special police from the Ministry of Justice, and the followers of Chaos, they brought out all the weapons they could use.”

   “It can be seen.” Vito said, witnessing the collapse of a tall building, thousands of screams and roars came from there, and the rain of bullets fell from the sky, exploding sparks on the ground.

“Damn, who is firing?” “Defenders, they have three homeland defense armored brigades heading into the city, and their self-propelled artillery is firing, it seems to be pulling out the enemy’s firepower stronghold.” “By the way After copying the whole city, at least this group of trash is very talented in prodigal.”

  Vito stepped on the flower bed, his legs trembling and his face was annoyed, “I’ve only been away for an hour, and here’s an explosion. Damn, Helen, where are the people from Amberley?”

“Judge Amberley is in the DC area. After pulling out his stronghold, he is fighting with the rebels.” “Damn it, it seems that Xiao An can’t get away, so let’s do it ourselves, white cut chicken, you fly away Astra Militia camp, tell them not to join the conflict under any circumstances.” “Understood.”

Rarely, Celestine did not refute his words. The wings hidden behind her spread out suddenly, and then she took off and soared to the end of the city full of flames. The roar of artillery, that was the sound of tanks, hoping Celestine would be in time.

“Sir, your order.” “Damn it, Helen let me think about it.” Vito stopped as he spoke. He stepped on the platform stool and frowned while looking at the burning street below. It became a chaotic battle, with people from various factions scrambling to rush onto the street, bullets flying everywhere, and the group of panicked ordinary people.

  Vito pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked towards the governor’s mansion at the end of the burning city. The luxurious palace was quite conspicuous on the other side of the flames, “What’s the situation in the governor’s mansion?”

“The situation is unclear. The communication has been cut off. Half a minute ago, the city’s communication network was paralyzed. It may be caused by a fire. The news is very chaotic. A large number of distress and war messages have crowded the remaining lines.” Helen’s voice from From her wrist came the information that she was quickly investigating the entire city, “It can only be confirmed that the Tau ambassador was killed, and the separatists are using this reason to launch riots and attack the Governor’s Palace, claiming to take revenge.”

“They know so soon?” Serksos said hesitantly, Loken also came up, holding a chainsword and standing beside his brother Luna Wolf, but his brother quickly shook his head , as the former captain of the Black Legion, his judgment is not bad.

   “No, they knew it too quickly. It has only been a few minutes since the ambassador was killed.” “Three minutes, sir, this is an organized riot.” “I know.”

Of course, these rebels launched a rebellion as soon as the Tau ambassador died, and it was obviously organized. Prepared in advance, and then set the whole city on fire.

Mars are flying in the sky, billowing smoke into the blood-red sky, not a cloud is not lit, not a street is not on fire, the city is burning, the chaos is spreading, spreading to more blocks on the horizon, planetizing the entire capital For the sea of ​​fire.

   “Where’s Kane? Can you contact him?” Faced with such a chaotic situation, Vito said calmly after a little silence. He quickly regained his composure, like a king sitting on the throne of a planet, the real governor here.

“Trying now.” Apparently, without Vito’s order, Helen knew the order he would issue. After a while, the communication reached the line, “Sir, Political Commissar Kane requests support for their evacuation. The remaining envoys of the Tau tribe are also here. There is a governor.”

“Only that idiot is not dead, well, get a Thunderhawk and get them out.” After saying that, Vito turned around to look at the two Loken behind him and the police officers of the Ministry of Justice on the platform. , They faced the burning city, whispered to each other, and fell into chaos, but Vito’s roar was like the sound of cannons in the sky, calming them down.

   “You guys! Immediately go to the Ministry of Justice and any forces that the Defense Force can find, let them stop their random attacks, shrink back their troops, and ensure the safety of the streets near the Governor’s Mansion.”

   “Yes, sir, but what about those prisoners?” The judge asked cautiously, but that was something Vito didn’t bother to deal with right now. He looked annoyed and frowned, “They’ll deal with it.” “Understood!”

  Gunshots came with screams, laser bullets rained, and the walls jingled, but Vito looked back at the city, only seeing the raging fire in his eyes. He was thinking, thinking about a question, who instigated it?

Thoughts were still undecided, and the answer was unanswered, but the voice of Helen came again, bringing another variable message, “Sir, on the east side of the city, there is a troop of the Tau tribe advancing along the street. According to the route calculation, their goal is the governor’s mansion. .”

“Has the Tau also acted?” Serksos immediately asked sharply. If the Tau army still engages in the conflict, the situation will be irreparable. The Star Militia Army will be forced to immediately engage in urban battles, intercept and attack, and finally After igniting the entire flames of war, there is nothing left to do, the only choice is to burn out the flames and stain the earth with blood.

“No, the large troop of the Tau tribe has not moved. They are still in the camp and are invading their system. Wait a moment.” Helen’s voice was silent for a while, and then the sound of distant guns rang out again, “The Tau tribe has received orders. intervene in conflict.”

“But another Tau army is armed on the street.” Loken said for a long time, slowly speaking after staring at the flames of the city for a long time, he heard the gunshots in the distance, strange alien weapons roaring on the street, and The armies of the empires clashed fiercely, in exchange for screams and explosions.

“Maybe it’s to rescue the governor’s mansion? A Tau assault force decides to act on its own.” Sirksos added silently, but Helen threw a veto, “No, this doesn’t seem like something the Tau would do, they Absolutely obey the superiors, will not act without authorization, and this Tau army is also wrong, they do not have identification beacons, I did not see their existence on the Tau tactical system.”

  Secret action, obvious, but the question is, why act, if you want to save the mission, why do you need to be sneaky? Vito stared at the flames, silent, while overhead, a Tau airship roared past, leaping across the sea of ​​flames and above where they were.

  That is the floating car of the Tau tribe. It is different from the creations made by humans, different from the surging roar of the Thunderhawk’s twin engines, and different from the sky-shaking voice of the Valkyrie. The floating car is silent.

There is no flame roaring, only invisible magnetic force, disturbing the surroundings, like fallen leaves floating on the water surface, silent, without trace, it avoids all observations in the battlefield below, flies to the sky, flies to that, the Governor’s Mansion minaret.

“That’s the rescue ship going to the governor’s mansion. The Tau missions in the governor’s mansion sent news that they called the airship.” What Helen said once again proved the previous guess that the Tau troops on the ground were not sent by the missions. There is only one conclusion that can be formed, they are not here to rescue, but to create more chaos.

Vito looked at the airship and frowned, rubbing his chin in thought, “I don’t have time to deal with the Tau troops, I have to go to the governor’s mansion to get the rest, if they fall into the hands of the Tau , that would be troublesome.”

  But the enemies of the street cannot escape punishment. They come uninvited, trespass into human territory without permission, and defile the territory of the Holy God Emperor with their alien bodies. This is absolutely not tolerable and negligent.

Furthermore, if a Tau troop rampages on the streets, if they encounter the defenders, the news of the Tau invasion will spread immediately, then the war will be inevitable. Humans are not afraid of wars with aliens, but now, The hammers of the empire are not yet ready, and the blades have not yet arrived, so now is the time when no one has discovered this mysterious intruder and wipe them out.

   “Send Iron Man.”
