Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 24: The Empire's Frontier: The Shadow is Coming

"So did you find out anything?" Silver Snake asked. This beauty with silver-gray eyes crossed her legs. Her slender thighs were exposed in the faint orange light, and her bright blue evening dress was also like a dazzling The Milky Way shimmered like stars, and pieces of shimmering gradient blue transformed her figure into a dream-like form.

Silver Snake is sitting on the bench at the bar. It has to be said that Silver Snake is very suitable for wearing this dress. When she puts on the dress, you will not doubt that she is the daughter of a certain governor, or a duke of a certain imperial feudal world. daughter.

The delicate gray-green hair still hangs on her shoulders, with small braids hanging on her cheeks. Opposite this beauty, Vito behind the bar is leaning on the countertop, holding his chin and looking at her with interest.

Silver Snake sighed softly and shook the wine glass, "Have you seen enough? Can you answer the question?"

"No, but of course, I can." Vito said with a smile, taking off the long black trench coat he was wearing. He hung the trench coat on the hanger on the side. He was wearing a shirt under the trench coat, which was very eye-catching. People are surprised that since he doesn't have a body armor, considering Vito's usual fighting style, he seems a little confident without a body armor.

Vito returned to the bar, leaned on the countertop and twisted his neck. Silver Snake raised his eyebrows slightly and saw the two holsters under Vito's armpits, which were two laser guns.

"How many guns do you have on you? Three for one person?" "Darling, there are never too many weapons. You never know what you might need a second gun for."

Vito poured a glass of wine for Silver Snake as he spoke, "Your marksmanship is also good. One shot with a shotgun hits one head. Considering your background, it's very rare."

"My origin? This is the lower nest. People learn to shoot before they learn to walk." "My dear, we have known each other for a long time. There is no need for you to lie to me."

Silver Snake stopped drinking. She looked at Vito with her eyes. Her blurred eyes only stared at Vito for a moment, and then continued to take a sip of wine.

"Then where do you think I came from?" Silver Snake's sweet voice asked. Vito shrugged, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass, "Go to the nest."

"Why?" "You always wear a filter mask. That thing is used to filter toxic gases. I have seen many filter styles when I fought side by side with the Krieg Legion, so I can recognize them at a glance."

"You only take off your mask in the bar because the air here is purified and filtered. Believe me, I've smelled all kinds of gases, but you won't take it off after you go out."

"The reason is also very simple. People born in the upper nest have breathed clean air since childhood. Even the lungs of people born in the middle nest have grown up breathing turbid air and some toxic gases. They can also breathe directly after coming down. At most, they will not It’s just comfortable, not suffocating and hard to breathe.”

Vito said, looking at the half-face filter mask, "You didn't grow up here, but you grew up in the upper nest and came down after a while. Your lungs can't adapt even after so many years." The air here.”

As he spoke, Vito smiled again and turned sideways to look at the thigh, "Besides, I have never seen a woman with such a good figure in Xiachao."

Silver Snake pushed Vito's head back, with a helpless smile on his lips. Vito also smiled and crossed his arms, shaking the two laser guns under his armpits.

"My dear, I am also an outsider, not even a Victorian. You can tell me your identity and maybe I can help you?" "Help me? I doubt it, dear Vito." "Then try."

Vito suddenly climbed over the bar and leaned next to Silver Snake. He nodded slightly to indicate that he was ready to listen to the story.

Silver Snake sighed slightly, shook the wine glass and was silent for a while, but finally spoke.

"My actual name is Olivia, Olivia Caen Johnson." "Noble surname? Well. If I remember correctly, dear, the name of the current governor of the galaxy is Reuven Caen Johnson. Sen."

"Yes, he is my uncle. I liked him quite a bit before he killed my parents in a coup and before he planned to kill me." Silver Snake, or Olivia, said, crying and laughing, and turned her head to look. Looking at Vito, "You don't look surprised, dear Vito."

"My dear, I have seen too many similar bad things. You see, the empire is very big, and there are always some people who think they can do things themselves without notifying the empire."

Vito smiled and said, turning his head and looking at Olivia, "I believe some of my colleagues will react more, but I won't. By the way, the name is very nice." "Thank you."

Olivia smiled movingly and said, "You see, I grew up in the Governor's Mansion. Just like you, servants, a big house and a decent life. My family has ruled Victoria for many, many generations, although it is also the same as the Governor's Palace. It doesn’t matter to me, anyway, when I grow up, I will just be married off and make a political alliance or something like that.”

"That alliance must be worthy of your beauty. Are you considering forming an alliance with the High Lord of Terra?" "I'll just assume you're complimenting me."

"But you see, there is always a clichéd plot in every such family. Your father's brother was dissatisfied, so your father inherited the throne, secretly gathered forces, assassinated your father, and then killed your whole family. Then you were forced to Fleeing, he became an exile and a bar owner from the governor's daughter, and he went out on dates to kill people from time to time. "

Silver Snake wiggled his fingers and said calmly, "So I came here, before my bastard uncle killed me, although I didn't know what he would do to me, it must be bad, so I escaped and came here."

"A wise choice, the Lower Nest where no one knows where you are, I don't think your uncle knows where you are now, or if you are alive." "Yes, he doesn't know, no one would have thought that the female owner and bartender of this bar is Olivia, after all, there are many people who have fled from the Upper Nest because of similar things."

Vito raised his glass slightly, "So you not only survived in this damn place, but also became the hostess here, and an information dealer? Oh , I guess that story must be very exciting. "

"Indeed, you can write a book, but I can't write it." Olivia said, holding her head and looking at Vito, "So what do you think? After listening to this clichéd story." Vito shrugged slightly and crossed his arms, "Well, how did your uncle carry out the coup? Unite with the political allies of the upper nest?" This time it was Silver Snake's turn to shrug, she drank a sip of wine casually, "Part of it, I don't know the rest." "Have you ever thought about revenge?" "Dear, I'm just a little girl who has no one to rely on. When I came down, I didn't even know how to survive outside the Governor's Mansion. Do you think I can expect revenge?" Vito smiled jokingly, " Now it's OK, you have someone you can rely on."

"You?" Olivia asked playfully, with a mocking smile on her face, "Who are you to kill the Governor?" "Inquisitor, can you?"

The air condensed, and the smile on Olivia's face disappeared. She sat up and looked at Vito with some surprise, and the latter smiled bitterly, "What's wrong, didn't you guess?"

"No, I know you are an outsider, but I thought you were just an agent sent by the Star District Law Department. I didn't expect..." "Yes, Inquisitor, I'm not kidding."

Vito smiled and stood up straight, saluted politely, "Allow me to reintroduce myself, the Imperial Anti-Foreign Order, or People often say, Vito Constantine, the judge of the Alien Tribunal. "

Olivia looked at Vito in silence for a moment, then took a sip of wine, and then turned her head after a long while, "How are you, are you here alone?"

"There is also an oil man inside, by the way, his name is Omega, from Mars." "Anything else?" "Well, a battle cruiser, a ship full of people and a captain." "I can see that there are more. " "Ah, yes, there are four Death Watch Space Marines, four weirdos, is that enough?"

Olivia sighed, picked up the wine glass and poured herself a glass of wine, then drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed the wine glass heavily on the table.

She took a deep breath, "I can see you're not lying, but are you sure?" "Very sure, dear, I swear on my professional qualities as a judge that your uncle is definitely problematic." Vito shook his finger and talked freely, "Shangchao is obviously condoning the problems caused by the Pious Society. He is probably related to the Pious Society, so yes, if the Pious Society has problems, I will solve it together with him." "You can, remove the if." The mechanical voice said, Vito and Olivia looked over together, Omega was walking from the inner room, he stopped in front of the two, and the mechanical eye scanned Olivia again. "Your injury is recovering smoothly, Miss Silver Snake." "Thank you, Sage Omega." "Very good, Vito, you should learn to call me by my full name, not Octopus." "Well, if you ask me something, I can get rid of the if."

Omega looked at Olivia, but Vito nodded slightly to confirm, "Miss Silver Snake, or Olivia, is now our ally. I believe in her. You can tell me."

"Very good, I combined Mosley's memory and the extracted gene samples. After calculation, he has 56.32 genes that match the Tyranids. According to the database, I can basically confirm that he is a."

"Gene stealer."

Vito's face, which always had a smile on it, disappeared. Vito's expression dropped and he looked at Omega seriously, "Anything else?"

"It's not good news. I read his memory. When he was in the space station, he received a Tyranid psychic signal from the void. The space station also observed It was detected that when the space station was preparing to transmit the signal back to the capital, warning and sounding the alarm, he led the Genestealers in the space station to launch a riot, killing the stationmaster and destroying the signal transmission. "

"The unsolved case about the corpse has also been solved. At that time, he was with a purebred Genestealer. It was very hungry at the time, so the surviving Genestealer took it on the shuttle and also took most of the corpses that were not sucked into the universe for him to enjoy. "

Vito turned around and walked a few steps in the bar, but he stopped after a few steps and turned his head to look at Omega, "Are you sure he received the Tyranid signal from the void?"

"Very sure, Inquisitor." "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Olivia asked, Vito looked at the beauty and was silent for a moment, "Do you know the Battle of Macragge?" "I've heard of it. When I was a child, my father told me that it seemed that the Ultramarines fought a group of space bugs in the mother star river. "

"Dear, they are indeed bugs, but the number of these bugs is so large that they can cover stars, extinguish the sun, and swallow up all the matter on a planet. Wherever they go, there will only be pure destruction and desolation. Can you imagine a cosmic swarm of locusts?”

Olivia was stunned. With her level of education, she certainly understood what this level was. She looked at Vito with some astonishment, and the latter sighed, "Yes, the Hive Fleet is here, these Tyranid genes The stealers have been inhabiting this planet for countless generations, and now, the signals they sent have been received.”

"Then let's go now." Vito walked up and held her shoulders. The latter looked up at Vito, while the judge turned his head and looked at Omega.

"Did you execute him?" "No need, his brain was burned off." "Very good, did you see any useful information?"

Omega nodded slightly and tilted his head slightly, "I didn't find the clear location of the clan leader, but I can determine the location of the origin of scarlet pigment that affects spiritual beings." "Is it accurate?" "The data lacks verification, but I "We will return to Infinite Frontier as soon as possible and use the astrology instrument to conduct ground scanning."

Vito nodded slightly, and after a moment of silence, he pressed Aurirea's shoulders, "Let the four of them prepare for the attack. They must be thorough and leave no one alive or any evidence. Blow it up and I will speed up." Advance the established plan.”

Omega nodded slightly, turned around and prepared to leave, "Judge, should we send an alert to the sector command and request for assistance?"

Vito smiled and rubbed his neck, "Relying on those bureaucrats? I doubt it."

He turned around and looked at Omega's flashing mechanical eye with one hand behind his back. He glanced at it with a careless look, just like a real judge.

"Send a signal to all surrounding Imperial fleets, Astra Militarum, Chapters Astartes and all armed forces. I, Vitor Constantine, Inquisitor of the Order of the Outsiders, personally chosen by the Emperor, declare with the sacred In the name of the Emperor, all loyal people are required to respond to the call and come to the Victoria System to face the coming enemy of the Emperor."

"May the Emperor guide us, over." Vito said, and Omega nodded solemnly, at least it looked very solemn, and a stream of data flashed through his eyes.

"You have something to say, right? Vito." "Of course."

Vito smiled slightly, "Send a message to the Sector Command and tell those imbeciles that if they don't come to help, I will issue an extermination order to the entire Victoria Galaxy and all surrounding galaxies."

Olivia's eyes widened and she stared at Vito dumbfounded. The latter shrugged jokingly, and even Omega let out a weird mechanical laugh.

"It's in line with your character, Vito. I will carry out the expected goal as soon as possible. Now, goodbye." Omega turned and left without stopping for a moment, like an efficient machine. Maybe the word "like" can be removed.

"Let me understand," Olivia asked, "You have to help me regain the position of governor. Now you have to eliminate the alien traitors inside the planet and face the coming doomsday disaster."

Facing Olivia's expression, Vito touched his chin and showed an embarrassed expression, "It seems... the situation is a bit complicated."

"It's just a little complicated." She held her forehead speechlessly. "I just had a little hope of living again, but now I know that the entire galaxy may be gone. This is really..."

Vito smiled slightly, raised two glasses of wine, and handed one to Olivia, "Daily life in the empire?"

She took the wine and smiled helplessly, "Yes."
