Chapter 133 The End of the Era: Visitors From Outer Space
The loyalists retreated to both sides. The soldiers wearing chain mail or half-armor looked at the four giants. Their sergeant waved his armored gloves to signal everyone to retreat and make way for the advancing giants. Everyone looked at them with awe, admiration or fear.
The soldiers in the loyalist camp retreated one after another. They pushed away from the colorful tents and the banners of the knight lords. They made way for the giants.
Four burly giants wearing black armor walked on the road. Their huge bodies floated up and down with their footsteps. Every collision, step and advance of the heavy armor was accompanied by a low roar.
The iron feet stepped on the ground, and the wood used for paving the ground for repairs broke instantly. The whole land seemed to tremble under the feet of these giants. Their burly and majestic image made people kneel down and surrender involuntarily.
The conscripts and the allied soldiers subconsciously knelt and bowed their heads, even those mercenaries who were arrogant and arrogant as much as ordinary knights. Everyone knelt down to salute the four giants.
Carda supported Duke Delacour and walked in front of the giants. The shadow cast by their tall bodies completely obscured them. Carda looked back with awe from time to time, peeking at the armor and face of the winged knight.
He walked behind him silently, his eyes flashing blood-red light under the scarlet helmet. The child must have thought that Lancelot's eyes were blood-red and glowing. How cute. He didn't realize that it was the display glass of the helmet and was scared.
Vito walked beside them, and Lilith also walked with her hands behind her back in a young, even little girl's pace. She spun and jumped on the wood as if walking on a single-plank bridge. When she almost fell, she would grab Vito's arm and then laugh happily.
She was indeed in a good mood. After all, she had just played a lot of traitors. Lilith used her beauty to seduce them, then bewitched them to kill each other, and then killed the last unlucky guy who thought he was loved by the "goddess".
In this regard, Lily's bad taste is indeed very similar to her sister's. Well, in many places, they are twin sisters after all, although Vito will not tell her so.
But there is one thing that makes Vito a little dissatisfied. Everyone, whether civilian soldiers or young knights, focuses on the angels of death or Lilith, and seems to completely ignore his existence.
Lilith's beauty is often like this. When she walked into the camp, everyone's attention was focused on her, almost involuntarily, although it is not their fault. After all, a succubus walked in front of them, and it was the succubus queen. As a man, he would be subconsciously attracted.
And Lilith enjoyed this process very much, especially when they deliberately flirted with Vito, their jealous eyes and emotions made Lilith feel a sense of pleasure, like playing with a group of fun toys.
Well. If it were a normal situation, Vito would probably worry that Lilith's behavior would cause some trouble, but now he is not worried at all. Why? Because there are four Astartes behind him, and there is a whole battalion of marines and a company of stormtroopers outside.
When they got off the Valkyrie transport planes and transport ships, they were like seeing a myth. When they saw these fully armed people landing on the earth on alien objects, driving and using all kinds of unheard-of weapons that far exceeded their understanding to slaughter the rebels, awe and even fear dominated.
So yes, Vito was not worried about someone, especially those young knights who wanted to duel with him in a fit of rage. They saw all this as arrogance and were overwhelmed by fear.
"Duke Draco? You still." said the noble who walked out of the most eye-catching tent in the center of the camp, but he stopped talking immediately. He and the lords who followed him looked at the four angels of death with surprise, shock and awe.
Some of them immediately knelt down and recited scriptures, as if they saw the emperor himself descending to the earth. The noble who led the group looked at the angel of death. Draco walked up and looked at the angel of death and pressed his shoulder.
"How many people can fight? We must blockade Texburgh and prevent the rebels from joining other traitors!" Draco said. The Lord Knight was stunned for a moment and then cleared his throat. He thought for a moment, "Many people have been scattered, and some ignorant peasants have been defeated. We need to regroup the troops, which may take..."
"No! We don't have that much time! We must block the fortress as soon as possible! Then take it down, only in this way can we defeat the morale of the traitors!"
"If we delay, more places will be shaken and instigated, and the rebels will become stronger and stronger! We must wipe out the traitors as soon as possible!" "But we lack troops, Duke, and it takes time to manufacture engineering equipment."
"I think I can help." Vito smiled and walked up, one of his hands was held by Lilith, who looked at the lords in front of him as if looking at a few toys.
As expected, they were immediately attracted, especially the young knights following behind them. These ignorant young knights were full of adventure stories and romantic stories of beautiful ladies, so when they saw Lilith, they were immediately attracted.
Her long silver hair was as smooth as a calm stream, her flawless face and purple eyes were like an elf, which made it easy for the knights to mistake Lilith for a goddess or a fairy.
Although in a sense they are indeed right.
Vito cleared his throat and reminded them politely. Duke Delaku immediately understood what Vito meant and yelled at them, "Get your attention! You are knights! Not in a brothel. A lousy prostitute!”
The knights were startled and lowered their heads one after another, and saluted Duke Delaku in shame. The Duke sighed and looked back at Vito, "I'm sorry, sir, please invite us inside, otherwise your lady will make many people unable to work. ”
"I agree." Vito said, then glanced at Lilith with a smile on her face, and then raised the communication bracelet. When the half-length projection of Colonel York appeared on it, many people exclaimed magic, but Vito Then he looked at the colonel calmly.
"Colonel, clear the area. I need to hold a meeting with the lords." "As you command, Inquisitor."
"Judge?" The learned Duke Delaku showed a surprised expression, while Vito smiled and nodded politely, "Exactly."
——
——
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Vito Constantine, the inquisitor of the Order of the Empire, and this is Lilith Malfoy, the inquisitor of the Order of the Hammer."
Vito said in the open tent, a canvas tent with its canvas raised overhead between a few trees. Although crude, it is very practical, especially now.
The four Astartes stood outside the tent. After all, they were almost three meters tall and could not fit into an ordinary tent. Therefore, for their consideration, the local nobles immediately ordered the farmers to build this tent. It was ventilated on all sides, but it could allow Ascens to enter the tent. The tent where the Taters attended the meeting.
Lilith winked charmingly and almost fascinated some knights again. Fortunately, Vito reacted quickly and even started the next speech, which attracted their attention back.
"These are the Astartes monks of the Death Watch, the captain is Olaf from the Space Wolves Chapter, and Ragnar belongs to the same Chapter. They are the sons of Leman Russ."
Olaf and Ragnar nodded slightly to the knights, who immediately returned the gesture in fear.
"This is Bell, from the Ultramarines Chapter, son of Guilliman." Vito gestured to the next person and Bell immediately bowed his head to salute them with elegant and decent Macragge etiquette, and everyone quickly returned the salute.
"And this one, you will be very familiar with, because he is also a knight." Vito said with a smile, Lancelot wore a helmet, his iron hand pressed on the knight's sword and looked at the local knights under the tent.
Kalda immediately kneeled down with the young knights to salute subconsciously. This kind of etiquette was used for older and higher-status knights, but apparently, Lancelot took both.
"The dark angel of Caliban, son of Lion Al'Jonson, and also a knight canonized by the emperor." Vito introduced, okay, this is not quite accurate. The old fool did not canonize Lancelot, but considering Taking into account the cultural customs of the Dark Angels and Ryan's reasons, rounding it off is to be canonized as a knight. Anyway, when they join the group, they will be canonized as official Dark Angel Chapter Knights by the Chapter Master.
After the introduction, Vito looked around at everyone, he smiled politely, "We learned that you are in trouble, Chaos Rebellion, right?"
"Did the Emperor send you here?" Draku asked in awe, obviously towards the Emperor rather than himself, but Vito still maintained a polite smile, "That's right, so what's the situation?"
Draku nodded affirmatively, and then stretched out his hand to signal Kalda. The attendant knight was horrified and quickly handed over a map. Draku spread the map on the table and pressed one corner with his helmet, while Vito held the other leg with his hand. The bolter held down.
Vito leaned forward and looked at the markings on the map. It was obviously written in the local language, but Dracu immediately explained it so Vito didn't need to worry about not understanding it.
"The leader of the rebels is Duke Mushilon. He has fallen to the corruption of Chaos, and so have his knights. He has developed his own vicious sect over the years, corrupting and corrupting many knights, causing them to turn their backs on the light of the God Emperor!"
Draku said in an aura, and the knights behind him also gritted their teeth and cursed the traitors. Vito glanced at them, and then looked at the map again.
"What evil god do they believe in?" Vito asked, and Draku made the aquila salute on his chest, as if he was confessing to the emperor the name of the curse he was about to speak.
"They are loyal to the Goddess of Joy and the Phantom Queen! Especially the latter, to whom the traitorous Duke Mouhiron himself is loyal! That vicious fallen goddess!"
Vito raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Lilith, who was standing at the table with a strange expression. She looked at Vito awkwardly and smiled before shrugging her shoulders.
Vito sighed softly, then looked at the mark on the map, "Continue, Duke."
Draku nodded slightly, and then pointed to a point on the map. "The traitors gathered in this castle, Fort Tex, which is the castle of Duke Mushilon. They are hiding here and waiting for reinforcements from the traitors around them. Once they complete the assembly, We will be surrounded."
"This is a trap, a vicious trap. We are winning every victory because the traitors did it deliberately. This is a pocket formation. They led us into the pocket, and now they plan to tighten the pocket and destroy us, unless we take the castle first. The rebels will disintegrate themselves."
"But we are losing troops and generals. Some people have made stupid decisions. As a result, we now lack the troops to siege. The siege equipment also needs to be rebuilt. I'm afraid we don't have time."
"We should retreat and reorganize here"
"No." Vito said. He stood up under the gaze of Draco and the noble knights. He turned to look at Lancelot, "Lancelot, what should we do now?"
"Let them repent." The majestic voice came from under the winged helmet. Draco lowered his head in awe, and then raised his head to look at Vito who turned around.
He smiled and grabbed his grenade gun, and finished the words for Lancelot.
"Repent, tomorrow is the day of your death."
