Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 390

Chapter 390 Expedition Road: The Promised Land

Dark green mist lingers in every corner of this world, cloudy and thick, just like the ocean world of the empire, the entire planet is an endless vast sea, but here is a sea of fog composed of mist.

The shadows of the towering lonely mountains stand behind the turbid mist, like silent giants standing on the ground one by one. They are scattered on the planet, raising their heads and looking up at what is blocked by the thick atmosphere. A night sky full of stars.

Endless forests and barren wilderness exist at the foot of the mountains. The dense canopy is intertwined with the barren dark green desert. In this sunless world, the mountains and the land become a sick picture. , this whole world seems to be dying of illness, it is covered with diseases, and it is already on the verge of dying.

In the eyes of the empire, this kind of world is a proper death world, a place where only lunatics would venture to if they eat people without spitting out their bones. There are many such death worlds in the Milky Way, poisonous fog, active volcanoes, Or a place of death forever shrouded in deadly radiation and celestial operations.

This kind of world is not uncommon in the empire. Most of them are uninhabited no-man's land, or there are only one or two lonely observation posts, guarded by at least a dozen or as many as hundreds of Star Guards. They are far away from civilization. On the edge of the sky, watching alone on the border of the dark stars.

But this kind of world is very common in the empire, but it is not normal in the webway, because there are no naturally formed celestial bodies in the webway at all, all the planets here are man-made, and have disappeared since ancient times. Created by the powerful ancient sanctuary, there are often a large number of life existences all over it.

The Eldar and anthropologists of later generations believe that those planets are reserved places created by the ancient saints one by one, so as to save the seeds of life that were hated and wiped out by the space necromancers and their master star gods in the tragic battle of heaven Save it, keep it in the webway that the star gods and undead can't touch, when the flames of war are extinguished and the universe returns to peace, the ancient saints will re-spread the life seeds preserved here back into the galaxy.

So most of the planets in these webways are vibrant garden worlds, on which the Old Sages carefully cultivated, creating their own unique shelters for each civilization, but obviously, this planet is completely the opposite.

This is a pure place of death, which has nothing to do with the word life. Even if there is, then the vitality here has died, and what is left is only a terminally ill body and a sick corpse.

During the Great Fall, the power of the four gods poured into these worlds through the rift in the webway that Slaanesh tore open. They transformed and corrupted these former sanctuaries of life according to their own wishes, turning them into evil gods themselves. The projection of will, no matter how beautiful these worlds were in the past, they are just a distant story. Now, what remains here is only lamentation and sorrow, just like, their former masters have inherited the mantle of the ancient sages and moved towards Like the dead Eldar.

It's hard to believe that anyone would return to this dead planet, under this dying Pleiades without a sun, but there are always exceptions, and it's the same here.

A pulsating light flickered in the turbid atmosphere, and that light came out from the depths of the mist, like a fish swimming from the depths of the sea. , suddenly drilled out of it after the light instantly increased.

It was a black shuttle, a slender, obsidian-like smooth spaceship. The biggest difference between it and common shuttles was that it was not propelled by flames, but by the machines on both sides of the fuselage. On the inner side of the wing, there is a flashing sphere floating in the circular ring.

The sphere rotated rapidly on the inside of the wing, releasing a dazzling white light, which shone in the air like a piece of debris cast down by the extinguished sun outside the dying planet.

The shuttle quickly flew down from the clouds and mist. It swiftly circled in front of a towering bare mountain, and slid down while sliding to one side. The entire fuselage was stable and flat. The fog on both sides was lifted and flew towards the forest at the foot of the mountain.

In this weird world composed of strange plants, the tentacles-like plants are attached to the trees that look like cuticles. It bends and moves its slender body, as if trying to grab something in the mist of.

Suddenly the calm tentacles started to twitch, it tilted to one side with a gust of wind, and the smoke around it also began to turbulence rapidly, and they quickly spread to the surrounding places, flying for the slender black spaceship that fell from the sky. Make an open space.

The flat shuttle that was as smooth as a black diamond roared from the air and landed on the ground. The anti-gravity spheres suspended in the center of the ring on both sides created a strong recoil force to slow it down. Landing slowly, it landed on the ground like a drop of water blending smoothly into the sea amidst the smog.

The landing gear of the shuttle was placed on the ground full of weird plants. With the crisp echo of the landing gear, the non-reflective single-sided spherical cockpit glass also slowly lifted up, and the dark cockpit underneath Among them, a figure stood up from it, and then jumped out of the cockpit.

The spaceship behind him emitted a hazy light, shining on him, and in the rings on both sides of the anti-gravity sphere rotating at high speed beside him, the flickering white lights illuminated Victor's face, and he stood there Under the light, he looked around at the silent woodland around him.

He stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on the side of the shuttle, and as his fingers quickly stopped the entire shuttle, the rotating anti-gravity sphere began to fall silent, and the flickering light gradually dimmed. In the mist that diffused upwards, it was gradually engulfed below.

Victor didn't pay attention to the weird smoke, he got up and walked forward, his eyes were neither hesitant nor ignorant, he knew where he was going, he came here for a purpose.

The silent woodland on both sides passed by Victor's side, and the thick smoke filled it, covering everything a few steps away. Everything there was completely covered by the smoke like a veil, and only the other Zhou's swaying shadows, human-like, but not human-like swaying shadows.

They are swaying around, as if there are indeed some people hiding around, hiding behind the clouds, following you and staring at your back with pairs of empty eyes, which makes people feel involuntarily. Back a burst of coolness.

Ethereal and weird sounds come from far away, sometimes they are far away in the sky, sometimes they seem to be in your ears, you will feel as if something is following behind you, there are disturbing footsteps coming from the woodland .

It was the sound of branches breaking, the sound of objects passing through the bushes, Victor looked at the source of the sound from the corner of his eye, and the dead leaves and branches were indeed crushed under his feet, the sound echoed in the smoke, It seemed to be passed back, but Victor knew that the sound was not of his own making.

He saw shadows in the smoke, a shadow moving on the ground, and more than one, they circled behind the surrounding trees, and behind the shadow came a disturbing commotion.

That was the sound of sharp claws and teeth, that was a low-pitched roar disguised as a distant ethereal echo, and those creatures walked along with them, observing themselves, and looking for an opportunity to attack.

Victor walked calmly, as though they were utterly insignificant and meaningless, through the woodlands, between the thick vines between the trees, through the ditches visible between the woodlands, and over patches of cloth. The weird rocky beach full of holes and rocks, he walked for a long time, it seems that time is meaningless here, in this dim world, it seems that everything is eternal.

This may be a good thing, which made it easy for Victor to find this place. He walked out from the edge of the smoky forest, stepped through the smoke and walked onto this strange rocky forest glade. He looked around Looking at the tall boulders around them, they leaned together, as if forming a strange formation.

Victor heard the commotion of Sasha behind him, those things were still following behind him, they were walking around the edge of the boulder, and approaching a little bit, the scratching sound of their claws rubbing against the rocky ground of Stonehenge, a little bit closer Victor's back, getting closer, he could almost feel the cold breath.

Amid the scratching sound of the claws, Victor slowly raised his hand, bit by bit pressing the holster on his waist, his back was facing the approaching shadow, and his palm was ready.

The tearing gun was slowly pulled out of the holster, gradually getting closer and closer to the scratching sound approaching behind him, almost mixed together, Victor frowned slightly, and put his finger on the trigger to let the The light background sound turned into manic singing.

But just as the music was about to start, a burst of thunder shattered the thin curtain of the movement, and a golden lightning blasted into the stage. Victor's face was illuminated by the golden light, and he raised his head Come and look at the countless lightning that suddenly lit up above the head, the golden flash penetrated the thick fog, and shot from under the sky to the earth.

One of the lightning bolts struck behind Victor, and the burst of lightning instantly illuminated the surrounding forest, and also illuminated the faces of the beasts hiding behind the thick fog. They raised their thick heads, Eyes with brows, pupils and eyeballs look up at the lightning that illuminates the night sky.

Thunder sounded again, the sound was like a warning, the warning sound of hunters beating steel in the forest, those beasts turned and fled, quickly jumped into the deepest part of the forest amidst the lightning flashes behind them, and fled The range of that light.

Victor turned his head away, and glanced at the frightened beast behind him from the corner of his eye. It arched its body and slowly backed away, showing fear in its big mouth that grinned. It collapsed completely after the lightning flashed once, and turned around and fluttered. fled to the end of the forest.

Lightning instantly illuminated Victor's side. He slowly turned his head to look at the huge stone tablet standing in the center of the stone formation. and people with faces.

"Should we meet somewhere else next time, say, a nightclub in the Comoros?"
