Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 338

  Chapter 338 Rise of the Primarch: Time for the Final Battle

The golden powered heavy armors are clustered together. These Custodian warriors like golden mountains are taller than ordinary space fighters. Some people say that the Custodian is almost a small primarch. I don't know if this sentence is true. , but at least when they put on power armor, their height is closer to the height of the Primarch.

  The Golden Armored Guards are wearing heavy power armor, they are like a towering mountain, and when several guards walk together, they become a moving golden mountain.

The power halberds and blades flashing with standing lightning were held in their hands, and the red battle robes rose and fell with every step, and the armor danced a little bit. The Emperor's Custodians surrounded Vito, and they Surrounding Vito in golden armor, just like escorting the emperor thousands of years ago.

In a sense, this is indeed true. Vito is wearing the emperor's golden armor, and the back of his head is also shining. The difference with the emperor is almost only in shape. The emperor's halo is circular, and its edge Smooth and flat, just like a real ring, while Vito's has many protruding triangles around it, which looks like a round flying blade embedded with a blade.

But apparently, the mortals of the Empire cannot tell the difference between the two, so when Vito passed the grand expedition gate surrounded by a kind of forbidden army, he stepped into the palace buried deep underground, surrounded by countless defensive facilities and thick walls. When the 100-meter concrete and granite layer covered and protected the bunker headquarters, the mortal soldiers here still subconsciously recognized Vito as the emperor.

The tall Vito stepped into the gate, and the officer who ran past with several data pads stopped immediately. He looked at Vito in front of him dully, and the data pad in his hand fell to the ground. He stuttered muttered, "Emperor?"

"No, I'm really sorry, it's me who disappointed you." Vito stood in front of the officer with a smile. He was wearing the dark green uniform of the Star Militia Army. In response, he stood at attention and saluted him.

   "Marshal Vito!" He may have shouted with the loudest voice in his life. In the headquarters under the huge circular dome of the entire bunker, everyone stopped their work and turned their heads to look over.

The officers and soldiers sitting in rows of complex terminal instruments all around, and standing in front of the huge digitally controlled tactical map and holographic panel hanging on the wall all turned their heads. After they saw Vito walking in, they all froze for a moment. It's nothing strange, after all, if you suddenly saw a big golden guy walking in front of you under the **** of a group of big guys, you would instinctively be taken aback.

   But someone quickly realized that the political commissar with the mechanical eye implanted in his right eye immediately turned around from the map. He suddenly closed his heels and raised his arms to salute Vito, "Everyone! Salute!"

Following the order of the political commissar, everyone in the entire command center turned around, and the operators sitting on the chairs all stood up, and many of them didn't even have the communication headsets and brain-assisted augmentation cables on their heads. After tearing it off, they stood up, the data cables were still hanging beside their heads, but everyone stood at attention and saluted Vito.

   There was a neat sound of heel strikes echoing throughout the huge bunker, and that sound attracted the attention of the people standing at the center of the headquarters, on the top of the short pyramid surrounded by layers of master control terminals.

The mortal generals, the navy captain, and the Astartes all turned their heads. They stood on the slightly raised platform and looked at Vito. The latter also looked at them with a forced smile, and then Vito turned to The political commissar nodded, "Go ahead, political commissar, don't affect Terra's defense because of me."

"Obey! Long live the Immortal Emperor and Supreme Marshal!" The political commissar yelled out the new slogan that Vito didn't really like, and it sounded weird. It was a brand-new army slogan that was quickly compiled after his return. .

  But Vito didn't intend to point out this point here anymore. He watched the political commissar turn around, looked around and shouted at everyone, “You heard the command of the marshal! Get back to your post!”

  Following the order of the political commissar, everything started to run in an orderly manner again. The mechanical keys crackled around, and the sounds of conversation and order transmission echoed endlessly inside the solid steel walls of the bunker, forming a wonderful battlefield movement.

Vito then walked among them. He walked between the control terminals, mechanical equipment, and master control screens located around the bunker. Of course, there were also the members of the command center who were walking around to deliver messages. .

They are all wearing a variety of military uniforms, the gorgeous gray-blue military uniforms of the navy, the simple but dark green combat uniforms used by the star army, and the black turtleneck coats and red belts of the political commissars. Vito is even here In one of the side courts, judges from the Ministry of Justice and officials from the Ministry of Government Affairs were seen wearing silver breastplates.

All departments, all decision-making and command centers gather here, making this bunker buried deep under the palace undoubtedly become the brain of the entire Terra, which is related to everyone on Terra, even the Emperor. My life and death orders, decisions and plans are generated and issued to all fronts from here.

Although, passing this part may be more difficult now, Vito walked behind a group of distressed communication operators. On the huge display screen, on it are the communication node beacons of all hive cities throughout Terra.

That is Terra's vocal cords, ears and throat cavity, which are responsible for coordinating countless information and transmitting it to all corners of the entire huge Terra. Normally, if the beacon lights on it are all green, then all of these It's all logical, but now, the light bulbs on it are extinguished, bringing an unsettling sense of dread.

Vito looked at the dark part of the Hive City, he turned his head and walked up to the raised platform in front, where there was a huge square holographic table, surrounded by people who had been waiting for a long time, they Their identities are quite noble, not ministers but generals, or Astartes or something.

But they are all here quietly waiting for Vito, waiting for the arrival of the Supreme Marshal, and now that the Marshal is here, Vito stepped onto the platform, and the guards who surrounded him also stopped on the platform behind him holding weapons On the edge, the golden-armored guards stood on the edge of the stairs and the platform, isolating the busy headquarters below from the space here.

Only Vito came to the table with Trajan, Vito smiled and nodded to the people around the table, "Welcome everyone, welcome to my little bunker, sorry I didn't choose the palace above as my As you know, I really can't stand the glittering gold palace above, every time I walk in, my eyes will be blinded."

Vito made this little joke, and the people at the table laughed for a while. Vito watched them and smiled silently. He stood on the table and put his hands on the holographic table, looking at the Terra's three-dimensional holographic map projection, "I can hear the explosion even through a few hundred meters of rock formations. I guess Abaddon is more anxious than I am, so let's start without talking."

The surrounding participants nodded, and then Vito turned his head to look at Commander Trajan behind him, "Okay, Commander, let's start with you, who told you to be the first to come to me? "

"Yes, Marshal." Trajan said as he walked to the edge of the holographic projection table, his battle ax slammed into his side, and the huge storm battle ax stood firmly on the commander's body as if it had been inserted into the ground. On the side, Trajan took a step forward and pointed to the holographic projection map in front of him.

"I have just returned from the Americas, and I have taken a Custodian force to the New York Superhive, where the Emperor's golden guards are assisting the defenders, repelling Chaos' plan to attack the Atlanta Underground Railroad Tunnel, We drove the traitors out of the underground tunnels, so that they tried to follow the tunnels, avoiding the Imperial defenders from attacking the other hive cities, and the plan of the central flowering was thwarted."

Trajan said and looked at the participants at the table, they all nodded slightly, Trajan then stood up and looked at the map in front of him with his hands in his arms, "But the situation in North America is worse than we expected. Worse, Chaos has already broken through the orbital defenses. I think the naval fleet over the North American region may have been defeated. A large number of Chaos landing pods and transport planes went back and forth between space and the surface, sending a large number of traitor space fighters and Chaos servants to to the surface."

"My lord, I even witnessed a Chaos Titan in the Montana area. The corrupted mechanical beast led five or six hound Titans to besiege the fortress of the Imperial defenders there, and many civilians were hiding In it, waiting to be evacuated from North America via the subway network of underground rails."

   "I took the imperial army to deal with the traitor Astartes on the ground, but I couldn't fight against the fallen Titan Legion. If the Titans from the Order of Mars didn't show up in time, we might be finished."

As Trajan spoke, he nodded to the leader of the Martian Titan Legion standing at the table and the pilot of the "God's Wrath" Titan Priest Alpha. The neck stiffened in response to the commander.

Vito also looked at Alpha, he folded his arms and slightly raised one hand, "Where is the Order of Titans?" "God's Fury and I are fighting in the area around the palace, so our signal is still there." With access to the comm system, and the other Titans having lost contact with us, I can only deduce that they are still assisting the Guardians around the globe."

Vito rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then he slightly raised his head and looked to the side. The naval superior Bona, who also participated in the meeting with holographic images, and Father Eugen, the leader of the Mechanicus Fleet, said, "The communication network has been completely cut off. Is it? What about the ones in orbit? Can the Navy still rebuild the communication system through the orbital base station?”

Father Eugen shook his head slightly, his red robe was fully mechanized, and his slender mechanical arms were swinging in the air, "Unfortunately, Marshal, the communication base station on the orbit is currently severely damaged after the first round of strikes, due to the Cairo orbit The elevator was destroyed, along with the communication components in it, so the communication network in the orbital starport has also been paralyzed."

   "Currently, we can only cover local areas through shipboard communication to ensure that naval ships can still receive orders and fight, but it is not enough. The fleet beyond the coverage of the flagship signal has also lost contact."

"How many fleets can you still contact?" Vito asked with a slight frown, while Bona sighed softly with his hands behind his back, "At present, the Navy Command can only contact Cole who is still in the coverage area of ​​the ground-based signal tower above the palace. Fleet, as well as the Oceania Orbital Fleet whose signals come and go, and the rest of the fleet have all lost contact."

"The North American fleet that Lord Trajan said may have been completely lost. We only found out just now. Lord Trajan came back and told us." Bona said and nodded to Trajan, who also nodded silently. Responded to the Admiral.

"As for the other fleets, there is no news at all, and we have no way of knowing. We can only infer from the fact that the current orbital airborne density of chaos has not exceeded the preset range, and we can infer that most fleets are still fighting hard. The size of the fleet is already large enough that even with the assistance of orbital weapons, the continuous attacks of the Black Fleet will destroy some fleets every time, and the number of available warships is decreasing every moment."

  Vito looked at Bona, who was sighing softly with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the holographic map in front of him and thought about something, "Father Eugen, according to the calculations of the war engine, how long can your fleet last?"

   "If the situation is good, one month." "If the situation is not good?" "One week."

Eugen responded to Vito in an extremely brief way, briefly, but answered his question in an extremely desperate way. Following Eugen's words, the surrounding participants seemed to be depressed a lot, which is why they had to Separate the people around and hold a meeting alone. If this desperate truth gets out, the morale of the entire Terra will be ruined.

"Minister Harker, and Judge Gordon, how about the evacuation of civilians in the Terra theater?" Vito said, looking at Minister Harker of the Ministry of State Affairs, and Gordon, who was wearing the breastplate of the Judge of the Ministry of Justice. Board the judge.

Huck stammered and wanted to say something, but it was obvious that the terrifying warrior and the more desperate reality had almost crushed his spirit. His eyes were dull and he stammered to answer something, but after speaking for a long time, he couldn't complete a sentence. He didn't even spell out the words, and it was Gordon who finally answered the questions for him.

  Being more calm, the experienced judge of the Ministry of Justice took a step forward. He looked directly into Vito's eyes. Gordon looked at the map in front of him after the latter nodded his approval slightly.

"Officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Government Affairs tried their best to evacuate the civilians in the war zone, and concentrated them in the area of ​​the palace hive capital currently protected by the void shield. However, due to the sudden attack, we only evacuated some of them. A significant portion of the refugees are in the war zone."

"They need to face the shameful traitors alone, as well as the rebels who turned their backs, but I believe that the officers and soldiers of the Star Border Army and the Defense Army, as well as the cathars, continue to fight in various places, protecting those who failed to withdraw. civilians in a war zone."

As Gordon spoke, he slightly raised his hand to gesture to Hancock and the Marshal of the Beta Skitarii who were standing across the table. It must be because the people who are fighting **** the ground now feel sympathy for each other.

   "How is the morale of the civilians? Didn't it cause any major problems?" Vito asked Gordon, who put one hand on his belt, and his thumb rested on the inside of the weapon belt against the surface of the breastplate.

"Panic and panic, but we have maintained order as much as possible, fortunately, the food brought by the Mechanicus is still sufficient, and ironically, we may also be grateful that many refugees were trapped in the war zone and failed to reach the palace We overestimated the resettlement capacity of the palace, and now the lower nest to the upper nest are full of people, and there is no way to accommodate new refugees.”

Vito looked at the map of the palace in front of him and was silent for a while. He pondered over the issue of the war. After a while, he turned to the representatives of the army. Both and the Orbital Defense Array."

"The Astral Army, in conjunction with the Defense Force, is still struggling to stop the advance of Chaos in various places, but during the stage of Chaos's airdrop attack, most of the main hives have been controlled, and the peripheral troops and armored troops have been withdrawn according to the order. Out of the city to the wilds of Terra to reorganize the defenses and hold the line as steady as possible."

Hancock is propped on the table in front of him. Although he is a sycophant who likes to flatter, flatter and please his boss, as a soldier, he can still deploy and command the battle calmly like a real general in wartime. That's why Vito chose him to be the new leader of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"As for the main force that stayed in the hive capital and failed to withdraw, according to the order issued before the war, when they were unable to get in touch with their superiors and break through, they were broken up on the spot and the local defense forces and legal affairs Armed forces such as judges from the Ministry form guerrillas, using the complex structure of streets and hives in the city to delay and kill the enemy as much as possible."

As Hancock said, he turned his head to look at Trajan, and nodded to him with sincerity and gratitude, "On behalf of the Star Guards and Guards, as well as all the troops fighting on the ground of Terra, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Custodians. Thanks to your help, my lord, thanks to the commanders of the imperial army you sent to each hive to lead the guerrilla operations, otherwise the resistance forces in the cities everywhere would have been destroyed long ago."

"It should be so. The duty of the Emperor's Guards is to protect the safety of the Emperor. To protect the Emperor, we must not just stick to the high walls of the palace. If the empire collapses, no matter how we fight in the palace, we will be useless." Meaning." Trajan nodded solemnly, and beside him, Vito, who stood at the front end of the holographic table, also showed a smile, and he nodded approvingly.

"It seems that your previous suggestion is very effective, Commander Trajan, the imperial army does not need to be dispatched in large groups as a beheading force, but to send a small number of warriors who are skilled in command and war skills into each hive to lead Commanding the local resistance to keep fighting, it seems to be working very well now."

Vito smiled and looked at Eisenstein on the other side of the holographic table. The company commander of the Imperial Fists stood there with a blank face but majestic like a private soldier, watching Vito with all his attention and waiting for orders .

   "I remember that you opposed this plan before. You think that the imperial army should retain all their strength in the palace to defend the emperor and conduct the final decisive battle. Captain, do you still think so now?"

"No, I was wrong. Facts have proved that Commander Trajan's suggestion is correct. Please accept my apology, Commander." Eisenstein nodded to Trajan without hesitation in apology, defending himself in the slightest, covering up Without even intending to, he admitted his mistake quite bluntly.

Trajan also nodded to him naturally, and the commander-in-chief of the imperial army put his iron fist on his chest to show respect to Eisenstein, "As an officer under the command of the marshal, you should question and make suggestions on all plans. There is nothing wrong with that, company commander, You don't need to apologize."

   "I am ashamed of your noble actions and understanding, Commander, but I will remember your words, and I will faithfully perform my duties until the last moment of my life."

"We met a forbidden army in the Moscow nest. Although we only met with the Thunderhawk once, he did lead the local fighters very well." Bell interrupted suddenly, as if to adjust the slightly The atmosphere was serious and embarrassing, but what I didn't expect was that this made Trajan a little embarrassed.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army cleared his throat, and he stood by the table with his arms folded, "His name is Charlie, Charlie Da Vinci, he is one of the new recruits in the Imperial Army. He is always too proud to be able to fight, so I sent him to command the troops in the hive capital, intending to dampen his spirit."

"But it seems...he did a good job, hey... I guess we have to hear him bragging about his victory again." Tu Lazhen said helplessly, um, this person reminded Vito of an old friend, Cato. Sicarius.

Vito smiled. He stood by the map table with his arms folded and looked at Eisenstein and Bell. He looked at the scar on the company commander's face and the bullet hole on Bell's shoulder. "Are you injured? What's the big deal?" Is it okay?"

"It's all right, Marshal, this is one of the countless wounds I've suffered. Some say scars are a soldier's badge of honor, so I'm honored to be able to receive this honor again, to prove that I still wield a sword for the Emperor." In front of Eisenstein's solemn face, Vito slammed down his iron fist and hit his chest.

"What about you, Bell." Vito looked past Eisenstein and looked at the blue armored soldier behind him. He also nodded in response to Vito, with a calm and composed expression, "Me too, don't worry about me. Soon, Marshal, I can resume my bolter."

   "I believe that is the case, well, if so, I can see from the "Medal of Honor" on you, you have experienced a wonderful adventure, now tell us, what did you see?"

Vito slightly raised his hand on the table and said, Eisenstein at the table nodded affirmatively in response, he stepped forward to the table and quickly switched the map and pointed to the location of the hive above, "According to your order, Marshal, Bell and I went to the foot of the Ural Mountains in Moscow's Hive Capital to support the local defenders. According to what we observed, the local troops are still resisting tenaciously. against an enemy many times larger than oneself."

"They are all respectable fighters. I fought side by side with them to repel a traitor attack and cut countless traitors in front of the battle. I also left scars on my face, but those fighters are worthy of their responsibilities and identity."

Eisenstein said majesticly, without adding any additional emotional rendering, and calmly narrated like all Imperial Fist officers, "But we must also realize that although the soldiers are brave and tenacious, they are under the command of the Imperial Army. Under the leadership of the officials, they fought bravely, but they still suffered heavy casualties, if this continues, I don't think they will be able to hold back the traitors.”

"Indeed, Marshal, troops from all over the place, whether they are field troops or guard troops in the Hive City, have suffered heavy casualties. The soldiers are helpless in the face of those rebellious space fighters. If this continues, our troops will not be able to hold on." Hancock looked at Vito and added, and the company commander Eisenstein opposite him also nodded in approval.

   "As General Hancock said, the situation in various places is very urgent now. We seriously lack the support of space fighters. The only team of space fighters is on the moon, so they cannot help Terra."

  Vito thought for a moment with his chin in his hands, and then he looked at Bona, "Where are the Gray Knights? Are they still on the moon?"

"Yes, my lord, Master Francis led the gray knights to continue stationing on the moon. They are using the fortress orbital firepower on the moon to attract and intercept a considerable amount of Chaos fleet firepower. It is precisely because the moon continues to be stuck in Terra. On the outer side of the orbit, the star-level orbital cannon carried by the interior of its star is a threat, and the planetary killers of the Black Fleet are still unable to approach Terra's orbit."

With a wave of Bona's finger, the current image of Terra's orbit quickly appeared on the holographic map. Vito looked at the densely packed light spots of the enemy fleet that surrounded Terra like yellow sand in a sandstorm. Pull around a watertight.

But at the same time, the anti-aircraft firepower of the orbital platform and the ground base is still firing fiercely. The orbital array light spots that are constantly beating on the surface of Terra are like guards trapped on a lighthouse on a dark tidal island. Shoot with all your strength at the deep sea monsters that climbed up the reef and attacked in groups.

  They kept knocking those monsters off the reef, letting them fall back into their dark lairs, and those orbital weapon arrays still cooperated with the naval ships to defend Terra's orbit.

"The moon, as well as the orbiting starports, and the automatic orbital arrays on the surface of Terra are still operating, praising the Ohm Messiah and the Emperor, as if they have also been extinguished, I am afraid that the fleet has been submerged in an instant, The Chaos Fleet will then be able to carry out orbital bombardment of all of Terra without hindrance and drop landing troops."

Bona said, while Vito stroked his chin and remained silent. He listened to the words of the admiral, and listened to the bad news that followed, "But this is only for the time being. If the center is dragged down, and then the defensive array on the orbit will be completely destroyed, then the automatic orbital defense firepower that is still operating on the surface will not be able to continue to intercept the chaos's destructive bombing and landing."

"Indeed, my lord, the army can't hold on any longer, and if the fight continues like this, all the troops will collapse! We must find a way to break the situation!" Hancock stepped forward and said loudly. He moved closer to Vito's side, During the war, he had forgotten the awkward etiquette of superiors and subordinates.

This was originally a good thing, but now Vito has no intention of praising him at all. Looking at the crisis situation in front of him, from the surface to space, from the east to the west of Terra, from the north pole to the north pole, almost everything All fronts are in a hurry, and destructive death cursors appear on all battlefields.

Vito took a deep breath, and after he tried to exhale, he looked to the side, Ms. Xingyu Dean, who was standing not far away, without speaking, "Has the Xingyu Academy observed that the subspace storm has weakened? ?”

   "The storm is indeed weakening, my lord, the light of hope is flickering in the dark clouds, but it is still weak and confused, just like the stars in the dark winter night."

"That means we still need more time. We need to delay the chaos long enough until the storm weakens until it disappears." Vito said with his hands in his arms, looking at the hologram of Terra in front of him, frowning as he witnessed the With the battle map marked in red throughout, Vito glanced at his palm, looking at the Helen disc that he had been quietly holding in his hand.

He was thinking, thinking about whether it was time to activate the Iron Man Legion and implement the last iron guard plan, but if he decided to do that, he would have to face all the problems that followed, it was the last resort, last resort.

  Vito looked at Helen's CD and sighed, "If only that idiot Abaddon came to his door and let me kill him."

   "Perhaps, he will." Eisenstein walked directly to Vito from the side of the table, and he stood calmly looking at Vito's confused eyes.

  Vito looked at Eisenstein in amazement, "What do you mean? His brain full of tubes was finally burnt out by Chaos, and he is going to die?"

Eisenstein may not have realized Vito's cold joke, he still had a stern face, and calmly recounted his advice like an officer in a report, "Abadon appeared in the Moscow hive, and he attacked the local Central Fortress, let go of a few guard deserters to spread the news of his arrival."

"He is challenging you, Marshal." Eisenstein said coldly, as if the appearance of the Warmaster himself was just a simple change in the battlefield, as simple as a Leman Russ appearing on the street It couldn't be easier.

But Vito frowned suddenly. He looked at Eisenstein beside him and frowned, "Is the news true?" "The deserter has been executed and there are no witnesses, but I believe the news is true. They I don't know what Abaddon looks like, and no one in the Black Legion dares to pretend to be the Warmaster, so I believe that it was Abaddon who took the initiative to spread the news."

"He is challenging you, Marshal, and he is extending an invitation to you." Eisenstein said calmly, as if he wanted to help Abaddon pass the news that was almost interrupted by shooting deserters to Vito's ears, without missing a single word. delivered without error.

If Eisenstein was a messenger, he would definitely be a good hand. Vito knew the news now, and everyone present knew the news. Everyone at the meeting fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Vito. Say nothing.

  Vito looked at the map in front of him and remained silent. Of course, it was Abaddon's challenge letter. He seemed to have been overwhelmed by his speech a while ago, and he was in such a hurry to find himself singled out.

"Ha, Horus, you are the same as your son. Isn't this the same as it was 10,000 years ago? One-on-one, ha." Vito muttered with a sneer, and Trajan beside him leaned come up.

"My lord, how should we respond?" Trajan asked, Vito raised his head with a smile, he looked at the map in front of him and smiled, "Since they have invited you so sincerely, how can I refuse? "

As Vito said, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing the smile that would only appear when he came up with some tricks, and he turned his head slightly to look at Captain Teresia, one of the two silent ladies, " Ms. Teresia, where are your sisters at this moment?"

   "In the palace, waiting for your order." "Very well, Trajan."

"Yes, Marshal." "How many imperial troops do you have under your command?" "There are still 7,000 people in the palace who have not yet left." "Where's the floating motorcycle unit? Are they still under your command?" "In , Your Excellency." "Okay, call them and all the imperial guards, it's time to take you for a walk."

After Vito finished speaking, he immediately looked at the Marshal of the Beta Skitarii, who had already looked over and waited for the order, "All the troops of your Skitarii around the palace set off with the Custodians and Sisters of Silence. All Titan troops that can be mobilized now will also join in."

"As you wish, Marshal." Beta responded with a synthesized icy voice, while Vito raised his head slightly and looked at the map in front of him. Eisenstein and Trajan beside him surrounded him. Trajan among the armored warriors said quietly, "Marshal, you have gathered such a large and powerful army, where are we going?"

   "Abadon wants to fight me, so of course we have to choose a good place, a suitable and good place." Vito said with a smile, this time it was Eisenstein's turn to ask questions.

   "What's that place?" "Here."

As Vito spoke, he drew out the Phoenix Sword. The unique blade made by the Spirit Race quickly grew to a size that could be held by a power armor after being infused with spiritual energy. Vito held the thick hilt and held the The flaming blade fell on a corner of the map, the blank corner.

Trajan and Eisenstein looked at each other in puzzlement, then Vito gently reached out and scanned the map, and quickly moved the map sideways, and the geographical information on it was quickly updated. Suddenly, a new name appeared in the blank space.

   "Liongate."
