Chapter 461 Rebirth From the Ashes: A Wonderful Adventure in the Realm of Khorne
If you want to sum up Khorne in one sentence, it is fire and iron, plus a lot of blood.
The whole world is made of steel and fire. Magnificent and tall fortresses stand in every corner of the earth. Even those tall black mountains are located with towers, fortresses and iron walls between the passes.
The fire burned in the gullies in front of those fortresses. The billowing black smoke and dark clouds rising from the flames that soared into the sky covered the entire red earth. There was no sun or moon. There was only a blood-like red light in the sky.
The red light came from the unprecedented fortress at the end of the earth. It was huge, from the horizon to the horizon. On both sides of it stood eight tall fortress towers, all of which were inlaid with countless skulls. Blood flowed from the empty eyes and nostrils of those skulls and flowed down from the fortress.
The flames shone on the blood that fell like a waterfall, and then reflected to the sky and finally illuminated the entire sky. They flowed down from the high walls and finally merged into the blood river on the surrounding deep trenches and plains, rushing into the blood of the entire world. It was violent power and angry anger.
And the source of all that power came from the huge brass skull hanging high in the center of the Skull Fortress. The skull was suspended in the air, connected and bound above the fortress by thousands of iron chains. It released endless power and sent anger, anger into every corner of the entire domain.
And under the huge skull was a tall hill made of endless pale and brass skulls. They were towering into the clouds and huge. Their volume itself was as huge as the mass of an entire planet, and all of that was the foundation for the throne on it.
It was a huge throne, sitting on the top of the Skull Mountain. It was almost as big as a fortress. It was made of brass, with skulls hanging high above it. Blood was dripping from all around it, covering the entire brass throne in a waterfall of blood.
Vito looked up at the throne. Now there was no one there. The giant who was supposed to sit on it was not there. "It seems that we are lucky. That irritable guy is not at home."
"Indeed, may the Emperor bless you." Olaf stood beside Vito and looked up at the brass throne. Vito beside him smiled silently. He glanced at the person standing on the cabin wall beside him. "May the Emperor bless you? Or is there someone else who blesses us?"
Beside him, Lilith stood on a protruding platform. She also leaned out and looked at the throne in the distance with her chin in her hand. When she saw Vito's gaze, she also showed a hint of fun. "Who knows? Maybe the person who blesses you is not that far away. What do you think?"
The two dogs and bitches smiled at each other, and the single dog Ragnar behind them, or the wolf? Anyway, it was almost the same. He raised his head and howled and leaned back on the chair behind him. His head was full of sweat and he was very irritable due to the unbearable heat.
"Who cares who he is, can we leave here quickly? There's either fire or magma around here, aren't you hot?" Ragnar stood up and touched his butt, "Damn! My butt is almost cooked! Bell, did you drive into the fire?"
"There is no place that is not on fire here, Ragnar, so shut up and don't bother me." Bell was also very hot. He took off his helmet and put it aside on the co-pilot seat after Lilith left. His golden hair was sweating like rain, and pea-sized beads of sweat flowed down from his head.
The bulkheads around the entire airship were emitting scalding heat. The surrounding high temperature baked its hull, making it almost like an oven, and sitting on the chair here was like sitting on a grill, especially Bell's position, where the engine was located under his butt.
Bell pressed the steering wheel and kept paying attention to the engine heat value that had been constantly alarming. That thing was overheated, but it was not hot enough to explode. This machine soul was really unlucky.
Bell felt deeply the great mercy of the machine spirit. Today, he was first shocked to death, then rushed through a crack, and then plunged into the sea of fire. Since no one had turned off the machine, he sat down and gave up. Whoever fell in love with it could do it.
Olaf was also half dead from the heat. He might be the hottest. His priest power armor was obviously not designed for such an extremely hot environment. The insulation layer that was very practical in the warband's hometown of Fenris now had a completely counterproductive effect, making him feel like he was wearing a sauna.
Sweat completely wet Ragnar's beard and hair. He turned his head to look at Ragnar, who was slumped in a chair and kept exhaling hot air. "Are you okay? My wild wolf brother." "Not at all. I'm so annoyed."
In fact, what is even more unbearable is not only the hot environment, but also the inner irritability. The heat makes people feel extremely irritable, even more irritable, as if there is a nameless anger burning in the heart. It keeps burning, impacting the cage of thought, trying to escape from it.
Ragnar's mind keeps echoing with mumbling whispers, most of which are vague, but quite mortal. It's like adding firewood to the already irritable heart, making Ragnar particularly manic.
"Ah! Is there anything for me to kill?" Ragnar leaned back in the chair and pulled out the power axe and held it in his hand, while Vito glanced at him, "You have Khorne on your mind so quickly?" "Khorne shit, if he is on the broken throne, I will jump out and hit him on the head with an axe!"
Ragnar roared and swung his battle axe weakly. The previous vomiting and diarrhea and the current hot environment made the lively wild wolf cub unable to jump up anymore. He became sick and collapsed on the ground.
He raised his axe towards Vito, and then smashed it to the ground, "I said, aren't you hot? And Lilith, how come you two don't even sweat a drop?"
"What? You want to see me sweating? What's good about smelling bad?" Lilith turned around and said with a smile, while Ragnar collapsed on the chair and smiled foolishly, "I heard that the sweat of beautiful girls is fragrant and can be used as perfume."
"What kind of rustic love talk are you talking about? Right, Loken." Vito leaned on the side and smiled and looked behind Ragnar. Loken, who was also sweating, also came up. He pressed the edge of the cabin and looked out, looking around the surrounding environment. Vito was lying on the side and smiling.
"How is it? Do you have a desire to chop people, or a strange desire to collect skulls?" "I'm fine, Vito, thank you."
Lokken was breathing out hot air from his mouth as he spoke. He was so hot that sweat was all over his forehead and neck. He shook his head and immediately sweated profusely, then looked around.
"It seems that we haven't been discovered for the time being, Judge Lilith, you know the way, right?" "Of course." "Then shouldn't you lead the way for Bell? Take us away before Ragnar decides to chop people."
Lokken was unmoved by the collar of his specially untied corset, which made Lilith roll her eyes in boredom, then jumped down and put the sunglasses on her head and walked to Bell's side.
Loken looked at her back, Weiwei frowned, "I know her butt is sexy, right? What do you think, Ragnar?" Vito bumped Loken with his shoulder in a frivolous way, then turned his head to look back. Ragnar, who was lying behind her, looked up, saw Lilith's buttocks twisting when she walked, and raised his thumb.
But Locke was obviously different from the two perverts. His attention was not on that. The captain stared at Vito and frowned, "Lilith, she's not human, right?"
Vito was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Locke with a strange smile, "Why do you ask that?" "It's so hot, she didn't sweat a drop." "She is an inquisitor. She has a subcutaneous implant like me. She has no sweat glands, so of course she won't sweat?"
Vito shrugged, leaned aside and watched Lilith climb up to the co-pilot and sit on Bell's helmet to point the way with Locke, "Bell, drive that way, yes, here."
Bell nodded slightly, turned the steering wheel and let the speeder go down the hillside, passing along the edge of a vast volcanic sea that was constantly erupting pillars of fire. He drove on a narrow road at the edge of the charred land.
The speeder passed by, but above the road, on top of several giant pillars on the rocks nearby, the gargoyle statue's fingers suddenly moved, and its tightly closed eyes opened instantly, staring at the speeder passing below.
But the people in the boat didn't know yet. Loken looked at Lilith with a frown, "She is not affected by the power of Khorne, not at all. Is this also related to the implant?"
Vito glanced at Loken, "I am not affected either, and neither are you, right?" "No, I am, but I can still control it, but she is a mortal, not the same as us, and even if she is an Astarte, look at Ragnar."
After Loken said this, Vito glanced at Ragnar who was cursing behind him. He was greeting his eighteen generations of ancestors from Khorne to Slaanesh cordially, although he might not realize that they did not have eighteen generations of ancestors.
"Maybe it's a gift? There are cases where mortals resisted the corruption of Chaos." "Those mortals also stood directly in the evil god's domain, and there was no change at all?"
Lokken asked, and Vito fell silent. He glanced at the people around him and thought for a moment, then looked at Lilith, "She knows the subspace, too well, as if this is really her home." "She is a demon judge, shouldn't these be her job?" "Understanding and familiarity are two concepts, and she even surpasses the latter, as if she was born here."
Lokken gradually frowned, he stared at Lilith in front of him, glanced at Vito next to him, "She is not a human, Vito, what is she?"
The two looked at each other, silence, no, it was a dead silence that gradually enveloped the airship, their conversation was not heard by others, Locke deliberately lowered his voice, and he deliberately allowed only himself and Vito to hear the series of conversations just now.
"You are hiding something, right? You are disguising her identity, you deceived everyone, I want to know why?" Locke continued to ask, Vito did not speak, he just stood there, staring at Locke, the latter gradually frowned, the suspicion in his heart gradually increased, and the guess gradually approached the dangerous answer.
But suddenly, Locke's thoughts were interrupted, and the conversation was interrupted by a fire bomb flying over his head. Locke and Vito looked up at the fireball flying over their heads at the same time. It hit the ground in front of the bow, and a stream of fire was instantly raised.
Bell turned the steering wheel sharply, letting the airship quickly bypass the exploding fireball. The sudden swing threw Ragnar to the ground, and the wolf climbed up from there with a low wail, "Bell! Have you watched the ancient Terra movie "Initial Delivery" collected by Vito?"
"We have company." Bell said, looking back outside the open cabin. Ragnar also raised his hand and looked up to see the gargoyles flying in the air. The flying demon of Khorne was holding a lava cannon and flapping its wings. Following closely behind the hull, the leading demon fired another shot.
The fire bombs whizzed and shot straight at the Land Speeder. If Bell hadn't turned the steering wheel in time, they would have been hit.
The speeder slid to the side to avoid the fire bombs, but also flew out from the slope on the side and landed heavily on the ground, causing the cabin to shake. Vito and Loken stood in the cabin to stabilize their bodies, and Ragnar also stood up with the help of a chair.
"Damn it! Lily, didn't you say we wouldn't be discovered if we came through that crack?" "I meant not to be discovered by Khorne, not by his pets." Lilith stood up, her hands on her hips, her legs apart, and stood on both sides of Bell's helmet. When the fire bombs shot over her head, they illuminated her silver hair.
She looked up at the fire meteors above, then lowered her head to look at the people in the cabin, and then pointed at the gargoyles in the sky, "Okay, guys, get to work, you've been bragging here for long enough, and, weren't you just clamoring to kill something?"
"That's right, hey! You ugly flying things! Come closer, I'll show you a big treasure!" Ragnar roared and pulled out the grenade launcher, he raised it and aimed it at the air and fired two shots.
"Get rid of them first, then talk, how about that?" Vito pulled out his bolter and asked Loken. After a moment of silence, the latter also pulled out his gun. He pulled the bolt to let the bolt slide into the chamber, turned around and shot a gargoyle, and the monster fell from the air.
Vito smiled, raised his gun and stood in the cabin, aiming at the sky outside and firing. The bolts whizzed away, shooting at the gargoyles chasing the airship in the air. Ragnar, Loken and Vito's guns kept roaring and flashing, knocking down several gargoyles in the air.
And those monsters also responded quickly. They were no longer just following the airship. The flying demons, shaking their huge wings, kept changing their positions in the air, flying over the left and right sides of the airship, and kept firing downwards.
Fire bombs hit both sides of the hull, constantly splashing flames. Bell drove the airship and kept dodging. He kept avoiding the fire in front of him, which also slowed down the speed of the airship because of dodging, causing the gargoyles to gradually catch up with the airship.
The monster with trembling wings roared down from the air, waving his claws and attacking the cabin. Vito raised his hand and shot at the monster. A bomb shattered its face. The monster rolled and fell into the cabin. Its shattered face was still howling and not dead.
But it was only a moment. The heavy armored iron foot slammed its head and smashed it. The old wolf Olaf raised his head and lightning flashed in his eyes. He suddenly hit his hands forward, and the lightning instantly struck between the gargoyles, blowing the flying monster into broken stones.
The falling rocks poured down and all hit the airship, causing a clanging roar. More and more gargoyles appeared from the surrounding airspace and rushed over. They surrounded the airship and kept rushing down like dive bombers, tearing the armor of the hull with their claws.
The friction and tearing sound of steel continued, and sparks erupted from both sides along with the constant vibration of the hull. It was caused by the gargoyles flying down from both sides and hitting the airship. They cleverly avoided the shooting range in the cabin and chose to attack from both sides.
A claw tore through the armor on one side, and the ferocious face of the gargoyle roared outside the gap. Vito raised his hand and shot at the gap. The monster's head was pierced by the explosive and flew backwards, fell to the ground, rolled backwards and smashed on a rock.
Vito looked around at the ramming bulkheads on both sides, changed the magazine and looked at Bell, "Bell! I'll drive the boat, you're in charge of the left side, Ragnar and Loken are in charge of the right side, Olaf is in the middle! Hurry up!"
After Vito said that, Bell stood up immediately, and Vito threw the loaded grenade launcher to him, then jumped into the seat from his side and held the rudder tightly. He pushed down the lever in an instant, quickly lit up several buttons around, and then suddenly pressed the rudder.
The airship suddenly accelerated, and the magnetic engine below instantly released a lightning strike on the ground. The Rand airship passed over the surface at the same lightning speed, whistling forward with a pile of dust, and behind it, the gargoyles were still chasing closely.
The flying gargoyles fired at the bow, and a fire bomb hit the bow, instantly erupting a piece of lava. Vito turned the steering wheel sharply, letting the speedboat drift from the spot in front of it, and rushed out with the bow facing the slope on the side.
The speedboat leaped out, and then instantly landed on a charred surface. With a take-off and landing, it rushed out instantly, and the gargoyles behind it immediately caught up.
Vito drove the airship over the charred ground. There were jet nozzles protruding from the surface everywhere around, and they erupted molten lava from them. The rising fire instantly engulfed several gargoyles, and the rest were forced to scatter around the constantly surging lava fountains.
This reduced the firepower pressure of Olaf and others in the cabin. Lightning jumped again in the old wolf's eyes, and instantly shot an arc into the air. The two gargoyles that swooped down instantly exploded into flying rubble. They fell from both sides, smashing on the surrounding land.
Among the falling rubble, Bell jumped onto the bulkhead on one side. After the lava erupted from the side, several gargoyles emerged. They roared and came back towards the aerospace craft, while Bell instantly lifted out the explosive bomb. He aimed his gun at the monsters and fired several shots in succession. He shot them to the ground with headshots. One of them rolled into the crater and was instantly swallowed up by the spewing lava.
Bell's marksmanship was extremely superb. He kept aiming and shooting. The Ultramarines raised their muzzles and fired in the direction of the air, accurately hitting the high-speed flying gargoyles. They fell one by one and quickly cleared the side of the ship. threaten.
"Ragnar! Loken! Squat down!" Bell yelled and turned the muzzle of the gun to the side. Loken and Ragnar who were there squatted down without a moment's hesitation. Bell aimed in front of them and pulled the trigger. , the rotating bullets shattered the two gargoyles rushing from above.
The broken rocks smashed into the cabin and jingled on Loken's shoulder pads. He raised his head and nodded to Bell, "Thank you, brother."
"You nerd, well done!" Ragnar laughed, tossed up his burly hair and beard, grabbed the power ax and swung it into the air, the lightning ax blade instantly shattered the swooping arrows from above his head. The next gargoyle fell, the monster's head broke off from its neck and flew out, spinning and falling to the ground in the cockpit.
Lilith looked at the ferocious gargoyle head on the ground, her eyes full of disgust, "Hey, it's really ugly, but my gargoyle is more beautiful, right?"
"Where is the rift?" Vito asked, turning the steering wheel to avoid the small volcano erupting in front of him. He quickly turned the steering wheel left and right, causing the Rand Aerospacecraft to dodge left and right, avoiding the pillars of fire that were constantly erupting in front of him.
Lilith put her hands on the countertop in front of her, holding her chin and looking at Vito, "Why are you anxious? Your life is not short, so why are you anxious?"
"Lily." Vito asked sternly, turning his hands quickly to make the aerostat urgently turn over the suddenly erupting volcano. Lilith's little head shook, and she shrugged, "Okay, over there ”
Lilith pointed to a valley not far away. Vito looked where he was, and instantly turned the steering wheel to turn the speed attack boat in that direction. Then he stepped on the accelerator and rushed away quickly. The hull quickly flicked its tail, and the gunshots from the rear cabin were shot out in all directions. The explosive bomb also threw out a bright arc.
Vito drove the speed attack boat across the flaming volcano. The pillars of fire rising from both sides illuminated the entire hull. The recently erupted volcano even burned the outside of the hull red, and the inside was like the inside of a cauldron. Extremely hot.
"Vito! I'm going to be mature!" "You can speak, but that proves that you're not yet mature enough, so bear with it!"
Vito yelled and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The speedboat rushed out from the edge of the volcano in an instant, and a pillar of fire erupted from behind. After that, the gargoyles also flapped their wings and roared after them. Come up.
Vito drove the aeroboat and rushed into the valley. He raised his head and looked at the gargoyles chasing behind him, then looked around at the towering rocks and shouted, "Old wolf! Blow this place down!"
Olaf carried out the request without thinking. He slapped his palm in front of his face, and then punched it out to both sides. Lightning instantly bombarded the surrounding rock walls, and in the blink of an eye, it penetrated the towering stone walls. They poured down and hit On the ground, while raising large amounts of dust, it also smashed down all the pursuing gargoyles.
They howled and were swallowed up by the collapsing valley, while Vito drove a speed attack boat and rushed through the valley at a high speed. The billowing dust behind them rolled in and was about to engulf them at any time.
Olaf looked at the collapsed valley behind him. The huge broken rocks around him kept falling down, almost cutting off the speed attack boat several times. The falling gravel fell all around, and the loud noise of the landslide echoed outside the cabin.
"Vito! You have to hurry up!" Bell shouted while holding a gun and looking at the falling boulder behind him. Vito behind him pressed the thruster lever and looked at the red rock at the top. In the extreme power zone, "Damn, a dead horse is being treated as a living horse doctor!"
He spoke loudly, released the engine power limit on the interface, and then pushed down the operating lever violently. The engine beneath him exploded instantly, magnetic lightning shot out in all directions, and the shell surrounding the engine shattered. It fell backwards and rolled into the dust, and beneath it, the wildly rotating magnetic levitation generating ring had released power beyond the limit.
Its surface instantly burned red, but underneath that, the speedboat rushed forward under the drag of lightning, flying out from the end of the valley before it completely collapsed. Behind it, the entire rift valley It was completely submerged in the rubble, and the ejected dust cloud spread in all directions.
The engine of the speed attack boat roared and then exploded. The various components were completely separated and shot out in all directions. This also caused the speed attack boat, which had completely lost control, to rush towards the cliff. Vito turned around violently. After turning the steering wheel and swinging the hull sideways, the end of the hull hit the ground.
The entire speed attack boat instantly flipped sideways. It hit the ground and rolled several times continuously. It finally hit the ground with a lot of dust and finally stopped before falling off the cliff.
Several people in the cabin were thrown out and rolled on the ground several times before stopping. Vito sat up from the ground and looked around at the other people rolling on the ground behind him, "What can I say, the result is not bad. "
"It's not bad." Ragnar stood up while supporting the overturned speed attack craft. He stuck his head out and glanced at the completely broken engine below. The broken magnetic ring was hanging crookedly, and all the tension was on the ground. on the ground.
"Okay, our ship is gone, how do we get over now?" "Get over here."
As Vito said, he stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff. He stood there and looked down at the dark demon army on the plain in front of the cliff. A Khorne demon army was gathering here, and in front of them was a magnificent Stone portal.
Two huge statues wearing hats and holding swords stood on both sides of the gate, and in the center of the rocky gate, a huge portal flashed. The gate was tall enough to allow the most burly demon engine to pass through it. On the other side of the door, the reflection of the fortress flashed above the mirror.
"Blood God!" "War!" In the demonic tide below the cliff, the language of the subspace roared like a tidal wave, and the Khorne demons like a black tide beat their weapons, and the fine iron clanged. The sound resounded throughout the earth.
"Damn it, how are we going to get past these guys?" "Kill them." Vito turned to look at Ragnar and signaled him to stop with a smile, "How to kill? I did a rough count, we Five more people, three guns, an axe, and a few swords. Although I am pretty good, but I may fight tens of thousands of demons, but I still have a small advantage and disadvantage."
Faced with Ragna's unabashed bragging, Vito also burst out laughing. "We're in a hurry, I'll get them done." He moved his shoulders as he spoke, and Lilith beside him smiled. , stood with one hand on his hips and looked at him with sunglasses on, "You know that if you do something here, Khorne will find you immediately, right?"
"That's right, that's why I said I was in a hurry." He said, holding down the sword at his waist and looking at the end of the cliff below. Olaf walked up. He stood behind Vito and looked down at the Khorne army below. "Do you need our help?"
"No offense, Old Wolf, but unless you three are gods," Vito looked back with a wry smile, and Olaf glanced at the three people behind him, "I understand, then what should we do?"
"Find a good place to sit down, put on your helmet, it will be very, very bright soon, then find a bag of popcorn to hold, and wait for the good show."
"But there's no popcorn here." "Yes, but I know you hid the wine in the boat, so take it out. The boat can't take it with you anyway." "That's true."
Ragna said, reaching out and searching in the boat, he took out a wine bottle. He shook the wine and looked at Vito, "Hurry up, I don't know if there will be any for you by then." One bite.”
"Then hurry up and wait." Vito smiled and jumped off the cliff. Olaf, Loken, and Lilith looked at Vito's disappearing figure, and then were attracted by the sound of the wine bottle being opened.
Ragnar opened the bottle cap with his bare hands, and the white light accompanied by golden lightning in the distance illuminated his face. He raised the bottle and shook it. "Who wants a drink?"
