Chapter 354: The Road to Expedition: Above the Macro Cannon

Vito has seen many beautiful sights in his life. He has been to the fjords of Norway, the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, the endless forests of Finland, and the vast deserts on the Arabian Peninsula. He has sailed across the Red Sea, crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and witnessed groups of whales crossing the narrow strait in the Bering Strait. He has also witnessed the magnificent migration of wildebeests on the savannah of Africa.

As an old man who has lived for 50,000 years, Vito has seen a lot of things, not only on Earth, but also in the magnificent beauty of the Milky Way. Vito has always loved traveling. He likes to go to places he has never been to, witness the beauty there, understand the local culture and people, taste the food there, and then experience an exciting adventure.

So when Vito sat on the thick muzzle of the macro cannon, he began to regret that he had entered the webway many times, but why did he never know that there was such a beautiful place in this tunnel.

He sat on the muzzle of the huge cannon on the side of the Emperor Fantasy. The muzzle was of amazing caliber and as long as a giant pillar. It stretched out from behind the golden cannon shield wall behind him. The back of the black cannon was very wide. Although it was still circular, it also pulled out a large enough flat surface because of its large size.

That flat surface was enough for two people to sit on. Vito sat on the edge of the black muzzle of the macro cannon. He hugged Reina's shoulders beside him. She leaned on Vito's shoulders and looked up at the gorgeous sky above with him.

On one side of the muzzle of the macro cannon, a waterfall poured down from the tall hull of the Emperor Fantasy. The spring water of those waterfalls came from the even taller mountains behind the battleship. The streams on the mountains flowed down along the rocks and forests, and fell from the towering cliffs to the sky.

The waterfall hit the hard armor on the back of the Fantasy, and the strong and resilient outer armor relayed the spring water of the waterfall to fall downwards, and finally formed a huge waterfall outside the side of the Emperor Fantasy.

Vito hugged Reina and sat on the gun barrel beside the waterfall. The wide water surface of the waterfall fell from the front of the gun muzzle. The protruding armor on Vito's head made the waterfall slide down in a slope. It did not hit the entire row of thick cannon barrels below, but fell from the front of the gun group like a water curtain cave.

Above the waterfall falling in front of Vito, the entire water surface was dyed purple-red by the light of the sky. Vito looked up at the gorgeous sky above his head. The night in the network road was almost over, and the sun had almost set on the horizon of the planet, and its last light dyed the sky a gorgeous purple-red.

The purple and rose-red lights intersected in the air, and they mixed with each other, just like a painter's dyeing platter, which was like a painting scroll. The painting scroll used the colors in the color plate to draw a color painting scroll of experience in the air. The purple-red sky extended all the way to the end of the horizon, and the clouds also followed the colors and the blowing breeze, and ran away in the air.

Vito's black eyes looked at the clouds floating above his head. They turned into long thin lines under the wind, rolling towards the skyline like waves in the sea of ​​clouds.

"This is indeed a good place. You have always had a good eye. Have you and Stauffenberg dated here?" Vito hugged Reina and asked with a smile, while Reina in her arms smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly, her hair leaning on Vito's shoulders, rolling like waves.

"Only once, and that time, he kept talking about the beautiful scenery you told him about, and there was no intention of dating." "Ha, at least that boy has always been young, he was young until he died."

Vito later learned from his chat with Reina that Stauffenberg had not been married to her for long. He was still very young when he died in the battle to stop the Eldar pirates. At that time, Yeta was just seven years old. They were only married for seven years, and Reina became a widow.

But she still raised Yeta with strength, led the crew under her feet, and built this settlement on the beautiful fairyland planet. Vito's eyes overlooked the town below. Those large and small buildings were spread out in the open space in front of the warship, like chess pieces on a chessboard.

Each one reflected the halo in the gorgeous light in the sky. In the dim red and purple halo, pieces of lights lit up between those buildings, just like a starry sky, shining with eternal light in the magnificent background of the Milky Way.

Vito's eyes overlooked the town. He looked at the busy streets. The lone soldiers in the webway shuttled back and forth under the night. The lights in the bar were still on, and the lively noise came from it. Vito seemed to see Lilith. He squinted slightly and watched Lilith push away the two young men who blocked the way, push open the door of the bar and walk in.

Magnus seemed to be gone, but that was normal. After all, who would stay with Lilith when she was angry?

Well, the girl was obviously in a bad mood. Now Vito could only hope that she would not cause too much damage, although it was only hope. You don't know how much trouble an angry and jealous slaanesh succubus, or the queen of succubus, would cause.

"You found a beautiful girl, didn't you? Although, her personality is a bit strong." Reina's head gently rested on Vito's shoulder and said, the latter smiled slightly, raised his hand and stroked Reina's black hair with his fingers, and the white silk left by the years also slid down with his fingers.

"Same as you?" Vito asked with a smile. Reina also laughed after hearing this. She also leaned her arm on Vito's arm and looked at the thousands of lights flashing below with him. of settlements.

"It's true. When you choose girls, you always look for women with hot and strong personalities. Have you never thought of gentle and charming ones?"

"Come on, that kind of girl doesn't get along with me. What I like is the kind that I can take risks with, risk death and scold, such as you." Vito said, still stroking Reina's head, and then The reporter leaned on his shoulder and smiled.

"I thought you would be a little upset about Stauffenberg, but you don't seem to be at all." "Why do you feel that way?" "Well, like feeling like you're being cheated? NTR or something?"

Vito didn't recognize those two words for a moment, and burst out laughing. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Seriously, do you think there is anyone in this galaxy who is less qualified than me to discuss this?" Problem?"

"That's true. I dare say that this is not the first girl you have changed in the past ten thousand years. I dare not think of that number, nor can I imagine it. Do you still remember how many women you have?" Reina raised her head slightly. He asked looking at Vito, who shrugged.

"I probably remember it, but I'm not going to tell you. It would ruin the atmosphere. Only an idiot would do that." "You glib guy."

Reina leaned against Vito, who held her waist and smiled, "Stauffenberg is an excellent man. I know him, so I know he will be good to you and Yeta. Since So, what reason and right do I have to be angry?”

"He is very much like you. He learned a lot from you, so many times I thought he was you. He has a lot of your shadow in him, that is."

"Not as handsome as me?" "You will get into trouble without you." Reina and Vito both laughed as they said this. Vito smiled and hugged Reina's waist tightly, and he let her get closer.

"I know you thought we would never see each other again, because, I thought so too, so you made a reasonable choice for the rest of your life. This is nothing to make me angry. In fact, I am very Glad, I can see you are doing well, that's enough."

Vito said and gently leaned his head against Reina's, who also put her face on his chest, "You too, I can see that you are doing pretty well, and, I didn't expect that You still remember me after ten thousand years."

"Are you kidding? How could I forget such a beautiful beauty?" Vito said, patting the muzzle of the macro cannon under his butt. His legs were hanging in the air outside the muzzle, and the movement increased with the amplitude. Shake slightly.

Reina looked at Vito and smiled jokingly. She looked at Vito's hand slapping the muzzle of the cannon, "You unforgettable beauty, do you mean your flagship or her captain?"

"Both, she and her captain are inseparable." Vito smiled and hugged Reina's waist tightly. He raised his head and looked at the gorgeous sky above his head, looking at the false stars twinkling in the sky, which were the nets. The starlight simulated in the Tao.

"I will take you back, back to the real starry sky, and look at those real stars." Vito said, and Reina in his arms was silent for a while, thinking about how Vito had spent a lot of time before. For a while, tell yourself everything that has happened in the past ten thousand years, the current situation of the empire, and the reality in the galaxy.

"Vito, I don't know. The Empire you told me was almost a nightmare, a terrible nightmare that I never even dreamed of. How could this be? Imperial truth, the Emperor. And you, how could this be?"

Vito hugged Reina in silence and sighed. His breath sounded in Reina's ears. She leaned in Vito's arms and looked at the town below, "Why did you just watch the empire become So why did you stay on the sidelines when all the Primarchs left?"

Vito was silent for a moment without saying a word, then he gently raised his hand and pressed Reina's shoulder, "Do you remember what I told your sword holder?"

"Remember, you said that the empire needs a judge who is outside all power, holds the blade of judgment, supervises all the powerful people in the empire, and kills those who are out of control at critical moments, even the original bodies. ”

"I am the one who holds the sword."

Vito said softly. Reina was stunned for a moment and then looked at Vito. She looked at Vito in surprise. Suddenly, she thought of many rumors from that year, rumors that she thought were extremely ridiculous and had no credibility. .

"You are. So are the Second and Eleventh Legions, and the Thunder Warriors." "Yes, you are right, Reina, that was what I did with Russ, Ryan, and Waldo. I took They did it.”

Vito said this, his words full of sadness. He looked up at the starry sky, and his back looked so lonely and lonely in the purple-red light.

Vito looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. He then looked at Reyna with a smile, burying those sad memories in his heart, "But now, everything will change. Guilliman is back. , the Emperor also asked me to retrieve all the Primarchs that could be saved and start a new Great Crusade."

"I believe that Guilliman has already begun preparations for the Great Crusade in my absence. Perhaps it has already begun. We will bring back civilization and reason, truth and prosperity, just like back then."

"But Vito, how can you be sure that the same thing won't happen again? Will Horus's incident happen again to other Primarchs?" Reina asked softly, leaning on Vito's chest. Vito was silent for a while, then shook his head without any concealment.

"I don't know, Reina, but I will do my best to stop it this time. I don't know if I can succeed, but I will do it anyway. This is the best chance for mankind in 10,000 years. I will do my best to help Guilliman, the Primarchs, and our compatriots."

Vito lowered his head, he looked at the prosperous settlement under his feet, and smiled at the thousands of lights in it, "The seeds of hope have never disappeared. Here, the seeds of the truth of the empire have been preserved by you. It's time to take it back, just like in the past."

Vito lowered his head and looked at Reina in his arms. He stroked her black hair. "Like in the past, I need your help, dear."

"Vito, is there no one else who can help you? I'm old." Reina said with a wry smile, but Vito held her face. Vito smiled and looked at Reina in front of him. His fingers gently stroked the wrinkles on her face and looked at the still beautiful eyes.

"Where are you old? I think you are still very young, just a few wrinkles. With makeup, you can be radiant and dazzling again."

"I am already in my sixties or seventies, Vito. Even if my body has been strengthened, I am already over half a hundred." Reina said with a wry smile, and Vito smiled and touched her face, shrugged with a joking smile.

"I'm still 50,000 years old. Don't you think I'm still working? You're only 60 or 70, very young, dear."

"I need a naval captain who is proficient in large fleet command, has managed the Astartes Legion fleet, and knows how to command the Astartes to conduct boarding battles and landing deployments. A captain who understands both mortal armies and large legion Astartes to help me. Such talents are harder to find in the Empire than to find an orc who can play the piano and rap."

Vito smiled and stroked the face of the woman in front of him. Her green eyes also looked at Vito, "And I know that the captain I'm looking for is right in front of me, and only she can do it."

"Vito." "Okay, Reina, I know you. As you said, the women I choose are always very hot and can't hold back. You are also Reina. Na, I know your dream is in the sea of ​​stars, you won't be able to retire here with peace of mind. "

Vito held Reina's face, he sat very close to her, their bodies were completely close together, they looked at each other, "How about it? Go out for a ride with me? Let Abaddon and those traitors open their eyes."

Reina looked at the smile she had seen countless times in the past, that bright smile with an unknown charm, and laughed out loud. Reina also raised her hand and stroked Vito's face, "You are still so slick, and you know how to make girls happy."

"Isn't that right? We haven't changed much, right? And this way of picking up girls is very useful, I have personally tested it for 50,000 years. "Vito said with a smile, Reina also laughed, she looked back at the man in front of her and muttered.

"Old scumbag." Reina said as she leaned forward. She kissed Vito on the lips. Reina hugged Vito's neck, and the latter hugged her tightly after a little hesitation. Reina's fingers gently unbuttoned Vito's shirt on his chest, and the latter gently lifted Reina's navy coat.

The azure coat slid off Reina's shoulders and fell on the wide body of the Hong Pao. It became a mattress on it. Reina hugged Vito's neck and fell on the clothes as his body leaned forward.

The purple-red sky light shone on the gun shield behind Hong Pao. The imperial eagle logo reflected the light in the purple light. On the golden reflection of the eagle, the figures of two people were reflected.
