Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 231

Chapter 231 Rise of the Primarch: Battle of Sosa Star

Vito still remembers that the first time he came to Sosa was in the era of the Great Crusade. At that time, they heard that in the border galaxy in the far east of the Milky Way, there was a great monarch who was knowledgeable, benevolent and fair. He was tall and powerful. Seriously. , each original body is easy to identify, isn't it? I mean, there are not many people who can grow to a height of 456 meters among humans.

So the emperor immediately recognized who Guilliman was, and then ordered the fleet to turn to the Macragge star field. Vito was still the Supreme Marshal of the Imperial Army, Navy and Space Marine Legion, so he followed. Vito was present at nearly all of the Primarch's return.

And after Macragge and their father-son reunion that was not so earth-shattering, Vito took the time to take the fleet to survey the surrounding star fields. After all, this is the border of the Milky Way. At that time, Vito thought Transform this place into a stronghold world like Cadia.

But of course, as the five hundred worlds were later placed under the control of Guilliman, the king of the Far East decisively rejected Vito's large-scale construction and reconstruction plan, but insisted on retaining the natural environment of the entire five hundred worlds, so that this place is Thousands of years later, it will be the most beautiful galaxy in the entire empire.

When Vito first came to Sosa, it was just at the edge of the Milky Way, an unknown and uninhabited planet without even long-term residents. Even animals and plants on this planet are very rare, and there are only a few valleys called There must be greenery, and the rest is barren and barren wilderness.

Even the word Sosa means "land of nothing". You can see how miserable it was back then.

Back then, Sosa was just a small transfer station on the eastern border, providing limited supplies and resting places for rogue traders, adventurers, and scientific research fleets traveling north and south. Almost no one would notice this unknown planet. .

Especially during the Great Rebellion, after the Night Lords besieged Sosa and the Shadow Crusade, it became deserted here, but later Guilliman confided it to the 117th Company of the Ultramarines Legion for permanent stationing. The Chapter for the Emperor's Scythe makes its home here.

Different from their names, their scythes are only for harvesting the enemies of the emperor, but they are very concerned about their home world, and they have carried forward the superior management and construction talents of all the descendants of Guilliman. They have united in ten thousand years The Mechanicus transformed this place into a livable garden world.

When Vito passed by here again a thousand years later, what he saw was no longer barren land and large craters after orbital bombing, but a land full of vitality and beauty, with magnificent primeval forests scattered across the continent. At the foot of each towering mountain range, green grasslands covered the once barren land, and the craters caused by the orbital bombing were either filled up or transformed into beautiful artificial lakes.

Vito still remembers sitting on the edge of the forest, feeling the breeze brushing his cheeks, the warm sun shining on his face, listening to the rustling of the forest in the wind, gazing at the beautiful blue lake and the rushing mountains and rivers. Majestic waterfall.

It made Vito feel homesick at the time, as if he had returned to the place where he grew up, the beautiful land of the Greek Islands, which brought back a lot of memories for Vito, but at the end of these 41 millennia When he came to this land, he knew that the beautiful Sosa was gone just like the hometown in his memory.

Those beautiful lands and forests were destroyed by bombing, the towering mountains and rivers were turned into collapsing rubble, and the green grasslands were flattened by raging flames and ruthless war machines. became a place of death.

Life was driven away from here, and the only thing left was death. Vito's small planet in the far distance of the Milky Way, even tens of thousands of kilometers away, could still see the flames rising with the explosion on it. The flames burst almost straight out of the atmosphere, consuming everything.

"The same as ten thousand years ago, Loken, almost exactly the same as ten thousand years ago." Vito said standing in front of the window, Loken stood behind him and looked at Sosa in the distance, his pupils reflected those explosions , and the Chaos Fleet floating on the surface of the planet like ink.

Loken sighed regretfully, "I just hope...all this won't be the same as it was back then, Marshal." "That depends on our performance, Cole, how the results of the aurora scan will be."

As Vito said, he turned and looked at Cole in front of the holographic image. He and Captain Eisenstein were looking at the projection of the planet Sosa in front of him. As the scanning progressed, everything on the planet began to become clear. From a fuzzy sphere to a hologram of the battlefield with unmistakable clarity.

Cole turned his head to look at Vito and nodded. He turned his head and continued to look at the stars in front of him, and Vito and Loken walked in front of the holographic image.

Cole pointed to the extremely high-definition planet scanning map in front of him. The scanner of the Infinite Frontier has been greatly enhanced after receiving the radar blessing of the Great Crusade era. Its scanning accuracy has far exceeded that of all existing imperial warships. So what they see is not the mosaic definition picture that most navies see, but the real 4K high-definition picture.

"There are two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Cole asked, and Vito looked at the holographic projection in front of him with his arms crossed. Every red dot on it was a real-time scene. The bombing that took place, and now the projection is full of red dots, superimposed densely together.

Vito looked at the picture with a smile, and quickly reviewed all the key information on it, "It's really classic, let's talk about the good news first."

"The good news is that, as we expected, the Scythe of the Emperor is indeed still resisting, and they are stubbornly resisting in order to build the church in Mount Sosa." Cole swiped his finger and zoomed the hologram to that area , Omega assisted on the side, his mechanical tentacles were inserted into the card slot, and the system and data information were like a part of his body.

As the map zoomed in and out, the towering mountains appeared in front of Vito. At the foot of the mountains was the monastery gate of the Emperor's Scythe Chapter. A fierce blocking battle was taking place between the towering city walls and the magnificent gate.

"Lord Karthus, Chapter Master of the Emperor's Scythe, is now leading the Space Marines and the mortal auxiliaries withdrawn from the surrounding planets, struggling to resist the Chaos army that successfully landed on the wasteland, according to our scan It shows that the main part of the attack is the Night Lords Rebel Legion."

Vito nodded and held his chin thoughtfully. He turned his head to look at Omega, "Octopus, is the void shield of the fortress still intact?"

"I remind you again, Marshal, please don't call me the name of flesh and blood creatures like octopus, and yes, the fortress void shield, still intact." Omega said word by word, the mechanical voice came from his sounder Jump out word by word.

"The strength of the void shield can still be maintained, but I suggest that the war be ended as soon as possible to avoid overloading the void shield after continuous bombing. The current energy spectrum scan has shown that the energy supply of the void shield has been maximized, which is very, very dangerous."

Vito nodded, and then he raised his head to look at the black spike on the top of Sosa Mountain. The huge spike tower is huge, its volume is as large as a destroyer, and it stands on the top of the mountain. , like a sharp spear piercing the sky.

"Where's the lighthouse? Is there any damage?" Vito asked, Omega's eyes flashed a long stream of data, he shook his head, "According to the scan results, there is no sign of damage, but due to the Interfering with the void shield, it is impossible to detect the specific situation inside the mountain, it is recommended to land and check."

Vito nodded and turned to look at Cole. The latter waved his hand and the image quickly shrunk to the size of the planet. As Cole tapped the surface of the planet with his finger, dense projections of chaos warships appeared in front of him. .

Vito looked at the chaos warships surrounding the planet, and Cole pointed to those ships and said, "This is the bad news I said. Chaos has completely sealed Sosa, and there is no flaw at all."

Cole's finger slid across the planet's equator, and with the rotation of the planet, countless huge fleets also rotated. Vito watched those ships one by one.

"The Chaos Fleet has blocked all orbits from near to far. We can't even get close, so we can only park the Infinity Frontier at the current position. If we get close, we will be discovered immediately and be sieved by concentrated fire."

Cole withdrew his fingers as he spoke, and the rotating planet also stabilized. Vito rested his chin and looked at the planet thoughtfully, while Cole looked at the completely locked orbit with his hands behind his back, "We can't You are projected to the landing distance, and no aircraft can pass through the blockade without being discovered, and landing in Sosa is tantamount to death."

"The premise is to be discovered, and the premise of being discovered is that Chaos will notice us, isn't it?" Vito said with a smile, pointing to the things that kept falling from the planet's atmosphere, which were red dots that kept appearing suddenly, which looked like Shooting stars one by one, "What are those?"

Cole frowned slightly looking at those things, but soon realized what they were, "Those are the ships of the enemy and us that were destroyed in the previous space battle, and their wreckage is suspended around the planet, and sometimes they are destroyed by the planet itself Fall into the atmosphere after gravity capture."

"What are you thinking?" Cole looked at Vito differently, and the latter showed an evil smile. Loken on the side took a breath when he saw it.

"No, Marshal, you probably want it." "That's right, Loken, that's what I was thinking about."

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, what are you talking about? What kind of move?" Cole asked puzzled, Vito smiled jokingly, and Loken rubbed his neck after a wordless sigh.

"The Marshal intends to let us hide in the wreckage of those warships, and fall into the atmosphere with them to avoid the vigilance of Chaos." Loken said helplessly, Eisenstein frowned, and Cole looked at Wei in shock. Toh, he slapped the table angrily and shouted.

"Are you crazy?! The wreckage in the atmosphere will quickly hit the surface, and you are likely to be smashed into pieces with the wreckage!"

"Just get out before the impact. We'll drive the Thunderhawk and get out from the end of the wreckage after it hits the atmosphere to complete the infiltration." Vito said, waving his hand, as if he didn't care much about this almost crazy plan.

Cole held his forehead speechlessly, he forgot that Vito was so crazy whether he was a marshal or not, but when Cole was speechless, Eisenstein stepped forward and nodded.

"This plan is indeed feasible, Marshal. During the Beast War, the Sion Chapter Commander used a similar tactic to hit Ullanor, giving the green skins a sudden and heavy blow."

Eisenstein still frowned, and looked at the wreckage suspended in the universe, "But this plan has a premise, we need to have the best pilot in the entire galaxy, who can escape under the impact of the rapidly falling wreckage. atmosphere without stalling and crashing, and such pilots are hard to find."

Vito laughed and pointed to himself with a thumbs up, and said boastfully, "No, because the best pilot in the galaxy is right in front of you."
