Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 70 The End of the Era: Battle Briefing

Bell sat in the giant chair specially made for Astartes in the briefing room. He looked at the briefing board in his hand very seriously. The lines of data analysis and background introduction on it slid through his fingers. The complex military maps, planetary orbits and battlefield situations passed by his eyes one by one.

Although Vito would introduce the situation in a while, Bell preferred to review it carefully first. This was the habit of the Ultramarines. Following the guidance of the Astartes Codex and the great Primarch, Lord Roboute Guilliman, every Ultramarines should understand and master the battlefield situation and military intelligence at any time.

This was particularly important at this moment, after all, the three people around him were not very reliable.

Ragnar and Lancelot were playing around. The two giants were arm wrestling with each other. Their muscular arms were covered with blue veins. The two of them were arguing with each other while trying their best to overwhelm each other.

The heads of various departments of the Infinite Frontier, the Marine commander and the captain of the Stormtrooper Company were all gathered here. They were betting and discussing who would win this competition.

Even the Great Sage Omega was standing there, seemingly trying to calculate their winning rate against each other, analyzing the physical data, explosive power and more strange parameters of the Space Marines.

Olaf sat helplessly on a chair in the back row. The old wolf looked at the two people who were competing with each other, and obviously did not pay attention to the briefing, or most people did not.

Here, only himself and Cole were preparing for the briefing seriously. The captain was sitting in the first row and checking the briefing board, which showed the stellar gravity map of the target galaxy, the position of the Manville jump gravity point, the naval battle situation in the war zone and the enemy and our situation.

Bell admired Captain Cole very much. Although Cole was very young, he was an outstanding and competent naval captain. He always fulfilled his mission meticulously and fulfilled his duty as a naval captain seriously and rigorously.

It was a pity. Bell always thought that if Cole was an extreme warrior, he would surely achieve great achievements, and Captain Calgar would appreciate him very much.

But Bell knew that he didn't need to feel sorry for Cole. His goal was the sea of ​​stars, sailing and exploring this eternal frontier, and now might be the most suitable time for him. Vito was different from the officers of the Imperial Navy Command. He could take Cole to sail to any place they wanted to go and explore the infinite mysterious frontier.

Just as I thought of that guy, Vito appeared. The Inquisitor walked into the stepped briefing room. He took out the grenade launcher and slammed it on the table. The loud bang echoed throughout the conference room.

Everyone looked at the Inquisitor in front of the holographic projector. Almost immediately, all the officers and dignitaries returned to their seats. Ragnar and Lancelot, who were still competing with each other, were also "persuaded" by the plasma gun muzzle that slid out of Vito's right arm to focus their attention on the right place.

Vito snapped his fingers and the light in the entire conference room dimmed. The holographic projection also appeared behind several people, and the huge Milky Way star map appeared in front of everyone.

Vito turned around and used his fingers to zoom in on the interface on the map. The data screen immediately began to zoom in. If other members of the Imperial Navy or the Astra Militarum were here, they would probably be shocked that Vito had data on the entire galaxy, and could even build a hologram of the entire galaxy.

The interface of the Milky Way was holographically magnified and projected on the edge of the hazy star field in the north, and the eye-catching form of the Eye of Terror appeared in front of everyone.

Most people might be surprised to see the Eye of Terror, but the people on this ship have been following Vito for many years and have seen all kinds of storms. This little thing can't even scare the canteen chef on the ship.

Vito continued to zoom in on the star map, and finally pulled the star map of the Cadia star field with his palm, and everyone looked at the gorgeous star map projected in front of them.

The azure light shone on everyone's faces. Cole lifted one leg and put the briefing board on his leg, while Bell looked at the eye-catching sign on it seriously.

Cadia, the great fortress of the Empire, the entire star region and the men and women in it have become warriors since the first moment of their birth. All the people on that planet were born as soldiers. They and their fortified home worlds stood in front of the Eye of Terror, preventing the demons of the Warp from getting involved in the galaxy for thousands of years.

The iron galactic defense line and the fearless warriors of the Astra Militarum have repelled countless invasions of Chaos for thousands of years, and have illuminated the light of the Emperor's truth to the darkest corners of the galaxy countless times.

Vito pointed to the star map behind him, on which appeared scarlet red lines, which were the tentacles of destruction that pierced Cadia and the surrounding star regions from the void like daggers.

"A few months ago, Nurgle demons and the traitor legion Death Guard invaded the Cadia sector. Their plague fleets were rampant, attacking planets and important ports."

Everyone looked at the red lines, representing the symbols of plague spreading along planets, horribly and fatally devouring the territories of the Empire.

"According to the information from the Inquisition, Nurgle has used some unknown plague virus. The deadly virus will seize control of the human brain, turning people into zombies, attacking people around them and spreading the plague. Now several planets have been caught in war because of this."

"The Cadia Legion and the Imperial Navy's permanent fleet have been fighting with them for a long time. The commander of this war zone is Castle Lord Krieg. So far, he has roughly controlled the spread of the plague by executing planetary extermination orders and surface extermination orders, but the situation is still urgent."

Bell applauded and affirmed in his heart. Obviously, with the decisive actions of the local defenders, the large-scale plague threat has been effectively controlled. Now its scope has been controlled to a considerable extent without spreading to the surrounding star field.

Vito snapped his fingers, and military icons appeared on his hologram. They were the numbers and flags of the Astra Militarum Legion and the Imperial Navy, but among them there were several most eye-catching symbols that attracted everyone's attention. , even Ragnar who has been distracted.

That was the emblem of the Chapter Astartes, the great banner of the Emperor's Death Angels.

"The Black Templar, the Fire Angels and the Salamanders Chapter are still involved in the battle. Now they are engaged in a fierce battle with the Death Guard, but our mission is still serious, everyone, so please pay attention to me, especially you! Gona!”

The Space Wolf smiled and rubbed his nose. He still looked careless, but obviously that was still the best he could do. This wolf cub was more concerned about when he went to kill people, rather than caring about who he was going to kill. The person who needs to remember this problem carefully is Bell. When he reaches the ground, he needs to lead the wild wolf and the lion to kill the right targets.

Vito snapped his fingers and the star map expanded again. A huge earth-like planet appeared in mid-air. The planet rotated and stirred up a chaotic vortex.

The name of the planet and related information appeared on one side, along with a large national religion symbol.

Shrine World, St. Bassus.

"This is our destination. Part of the plague fleet is attacking here. This is one of the most important state religion worlds in the entire Hazy Star Territory. Quite a few holy relics and scroll information are stored here, as well as the remains of living saints. ”

"The National Church is obviously preparing to defend this place and has called for a lot of reinforcements. I also received a call for reinforcements from my colleague in the Tribunal, the Inquisitor Lilith Sestine from the Demon Tribunal."

As she spoke, Lilith's avatar appeared on the holographic interface. Her purple eyes and beautiful face under her long silver hair caused a burst of whistles and discussions.

Bell looked at the goddess judge. She was very beautiful, incredibly beautiful. Her long silver hair was as clean as the purest snow, and her purple eyes were full of charm and vitality. Purple pupils? Cadian?

"Oh, the judge's horse is as exciting as ever." Even though Vito didn't say anything, Ragna understood the true meaning, and everyone also understood it, and started to communicate with each other in various dirty jokes.

Obviously, beautiful women can attract the attention of these guys more easily than a bomb about to explode in front of them.

Cole cleared his throat heavily, and everyone quickly fell silent. The captain nodded slightly to the inquisitor to indicate that he should continue speaking. Vito smiled slightly and cut Lilith's head apart to make these guys happy. concentrate.

"She is assisting the local Battle Sisters, Astra Militarum and PDF forces on this planet to fight against the Nurgle army. Now she has locked the location of the Nurgle that created this plague, but due to the rest of the Astartes Chapter We are busy with the war, so we have to kill that fat guy."

Vito said and looked at the four Astartes, and they all nodded affirmatively. Although as the Death Watch they were now doing Gray Knight things, they were used to it. This was Vito's style.

The Omnipotent Judge then looked at Cole, and the captain was waiting for his instructions, "Cole, you are responsible for taking over the local fleet upon arrival and blocking that group of germ-ridden bastard fleets in low-Earth orbit, as far as possible." Help us attack."

Cole nodded affirmatively, and Vito smiled with satisfaction. It was obvious that Cole had a clear plan, and he was worthy of being the youngest and most awesome Captain Cole.

"Omega, restore the Blue Eagle to its best condition, as well as our equipment." "Understood, Inquisitor."

"Captain, the stormtrooper formation will go to the ground with us. You can help the local defenders get some things done. I authorize you to take over the command of any unit when necessary."

"Yes! Judge!" The beret-wearing storm trooper captain responded immediately.

Vito stood in front of the rotating planet image. He looked at the pairs of eyes in front of him, and the light of the holographic projection shone on each face.

The Inquisitor smiled, "For the Empire."

"For the Emperor!" echoed the crowd.
