Warhammer Inquisitor - Chapter 540
Chapter 540 The Rise of the Lion King: The 597th Regiment of Valhalla
The natural environment of Terrell Munda is very unique. There are a large number of towering terraces, plateaus and deep rifts running through them. They are bottomless and straight and long. Scholars who have seen them named their images as “Sword Cliff”
And the cities of the planet are built on the towering land between these rifts. On the terraces and steep plateaus, humans built the first batch of cities, which makes the scenery and way of life here different from those of other imperial lairs. The world is very different, such as the most intuitive city size, which is directly proportional to the population.
The scale of the hive capitals of Terrell Munda is far inferior to the imperial worlds of the same level, and even smaller than some smaller hive worlds. The direct reason for this is also directly related to the natural environment here. The intricate rifts will be able to The high land where they live is in disarray, and it is impossible to build any large-scale hive cities.
As a result, the population has always been at a very low level. The land here is sparsely populated. Except for the only large main city capital, most of the rest are sparsely populated livestock towns. Grazing in low valleys with abundant rainfall, and then all by transport planes and aircraft, together with various settlements.
This also constitutes another unique feature of Terrell Munda, the mode of transportation. People here are different from other imperial worlds, using vehicles as the main means of transportation, but spaceships, which connect every human being on the vast land. Settlements, all the time, in the sky, there are spaceships, or more simple planes that adapt to the planet’s atmosphere are shuttling.
And one of them is flying over the rift and deep ditch. It flies across the vast and broken land, passes through the scattered small towns of livestock, and whizzes past the heads of the animals that live on the grass, calling The herd looked up for a while as usual.
Vito drove the spaceship, flew in the sky of Terrell Munda, and quickly approached the city built on the plateau from a distance, and it was also the only city here, the city of Terrell Munda.
The spaceship under him, with its wings passing through the air stably, and the propellers at the end connected to the system properly, can be said to be the most comfortable spaceship that Vito has ever driven, second only to the Aquila, and the reason is very simple , although the appearance of this ship looks the same as the ship of the empire, but its core is completely different.
It was created on the Heavenly Blade, processed by an advanced manufacturing line, and then programmed by Helen, which made it look like a Golden Age aircraft with a coat of empire.
Vito flicked the screen in front of him, and there was a burst of echoes from the radar. He was turning off the automatic radar during invisible flight. It had hit here several times before, when it was guaranteed that they would not fly again. On the cliffs of the misty valley, but now, it is no longer necessary.
“Helen still gave me a surprise. I decided to name this ship Skyhawk II, but you are also the one who brought the surprise.” Vito said, looking at Celestine on the side. Lift one leg and hang on the platform in front of you, lean your back down on the back of the chair, the flat back of the chair.
She can make such a pose without being dragged down by the huge wings behind her, the direct reason is that the wings are missing, I mean, really missing, not an adjective.
Vito looked at her and smiled, and began to operate the control terminal in front of him. Although it has been improved in the golden age, the interface here is still as cumbersome and annoying as the empire version.
“I didn’t know that you could hide your wings.”
Celestine was wearing a corset, the back was tightly sealed, and she put her hands behind her head, “There’s still a lot you don’t know, I’ll tell you when I want to tell you.”
Vito smiled wryly, put down the thruster at hand, and the flight power on the terminal dropped instantly. He continued to flip the switch around, and then put the earphone hanging on the back of the chair on his head, “cough Cough, this is your captain, everyone is welcome to take this flight, we are about to arrive at our destination, please open the small bench, get your things and get ready to disembark.”
“Damn it, it’s finally here. Now I know that Ragnar said that it’s a nightmare for you to sail.” Sicarius’ voice came from the earphones. Vito smiled, operated the interface on the side of the compass, and then held the Tightening the rudder, he drove Skyhawk II into the sky above Terrell Munda from the air, bypassed the rift valley at the edge of the city, and flew towards the vast open space on the platform outside the city.
There is an airport, which can be seen at a glance, but it can also be seen at a glance, as well as the large transport barge docked on it, and the formation of fighter planes parked on the surrounding runways in units of squadrons, but there are no civilian spaceships. Existence, as expected, soon the voice of the new owner here sounded in the communication.
“Civilian aircraft listen, this place has been requisitioned, turn to leave immediately.” “Then where should I land?” “How do I know? Watch the bulletin channel, and then land wherever you like, and leave now. This place has been requisitioned by the military.” “Military requisition? That means I’m flying right.”
There was a moment of silence from the opposite side of the communicator, only the rustle of electricity still echoed, Vito smiled, and decided to tell him before the other party notified the air defense company to open fire on him, “I am Judge Vito Constantine, High-level member of the Alien Tribunal, now find me a place where I can land, and the identity verification code to send.”
Vito clicked on the interface at hand, and the other side of the radio station fell silent for a while, “The verification code is accepted, it is being recognized, waiting.” “Then you’d better hurry up, let the judge wait, it’s not a good idea. “
I don’t know if his words played a role, but there was a response soon, “The verification is complete, the identity verification is successful, please follow the instructions of the control tower and land at C93.”
“Received.” Vito and Celestine looked at each other and smiled, and then, under the guidance of the sudden reversal of attitude, they quickly landed on the airport, and there were no anti-aircraft guns or surface-to-air missiles pointing at them. .
The landing gear of Skyhawk 2 landed on the ground with a roaring airflow, and in the condensed smoke that was sent out, the cabin door was slowly lowered. Outside the door, the Valhalla man with a gun had already left. Come up, behind him are two soldiers with guns.
“Welcome, Lord Judge, welcome to Terrell Munda, and I welcome you on behalf of the Valhalla Army.” He said standing in front of the landing position of the cabin, looking up at Vito who came down from it, and he followed There was also a female entourage, just like him, with black hair and black eyes. The Valhallan man looked at her for a while, then looked at Vito and cleared his throat.
Vito didn’t think that person would be interested in Celestine, after all, it was a woman, wearing Valhalla’s iconic gray coat and felt hat, but her clothes were open, revealing the Thin clothing.
But this is not because the surroundings are very hot, in fact, the air on the plateau is very cold, but obviously, for the people of Valhalla, compared with their hometown, it is hot enough to take off their cold-proof uniforms up.
The female Valhalla looked at Vito, frowning slightly vigilantly, “I need to further verify your identity, sir, please understand that the situation here is not very calm.”
“Of course, I understand, take it.” Vito said and walked down. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked over casually, all the way to the female officer. Behind her were two Valhalla soldiers. He clenched the trigger vigilantly, and did not point the gun at Vito after the officer raised his hand as a signal.
She raised her head and looked at Vito with gray eyes. The latter smiled and took off the judge’s badge from his belt and handed it to her. After taking it, he carefully checked it and took out the tactical tablet from the pouch behind him. , put the Inquisitor badge under the lens and start scanning.
Inside the badge of the judge, there is a special chip embedded, which can be scanned by the military equipment of the empire, so as to identify the identity of the judge, without wasting words to explain, although Vito sometimes likes to appreciate The way those idiots are intimidated by him.
But now, he has no such plans for the female officer in front of him. He held his chin and looked at her carefully. The sight made the female officer very uncomfortable. She raised her head, “Is there any problem? Sir. “
“You are a woman.” “Obviously, sir, what does this mean? War has nothing to do with women?” “No, it can only mean that you are from the 597th regiment of Valhalla, and the soldiers behind you are all men , as far as I know, in the Valhalla Legion, only the 597th regiment is a mixed regiment, what is your name?”
“You guessed it right, sir, I’m Captain Jinnet Sura of the 597th Valhalla Regiment.” She said, returning the judge’s badge to Vito, “Verification is complete, welcome, sir. “
“Ginnette Sura? If I remember correctly, you are the company commander of the 597th regiment, right? You used to be Colonel Kasteen’s adjutant.”
Vito’s words made Sura a little surprised, “Yes, sir, I was ordered to stay behind to deploy the regiment that landed later, but you, know me?”
“I know your Commissar Cayphas Kane, I fought with him many times, I mean, I fought with them and him.” Vito said with a smile, and Sura looked up in surprise He clearly saw the space warriors appearing in the cabin behind him, a total of five steel giants.
They stood in the cabin, looking at Sura and her soldiers with the scarlet eyes under the battle helmet. It is not that Sura has never seen Astartes, but every time he takes a look from a distance, the angel of death of the empire They seldom have direct contact with junior officers like her. Often, only Captain Kasteen and Political Commissar Kane are lucky enough to talk to them.
Sura looked at the space fighters nervously, and swallowed unconsciously, while Vito put his hands in his arms with a smile, “Don’t worry, you will have enough time to get to know them, where is your political commissar Kane? I haven’t seen him for a long time, and now I start to miss him.”
“Commissar Kane accompanied the main force of the regiment, and the troops arriving with the Valhalla Army are parading through the city to deter the separatists in the city, and head to the 597 regiment station at the other end of the city, the location is”
“No, what I’m looking for is Kane.” Vito patted Sura’s shoulder with a smile, “I believe it’s easier to find him in the city, after all, he must be walking in a group In the middle, it’s hard to ignore.”
“Ah, of course, there is also his adjutant Jurgen, he is… difficult to ignore.” Vito said and smiled at Sura, and then looked at a Salamander armored reconnaissance vehicle on the runway in the distance. , there are several ground crews cheering it up.
“I’ll borrow your armored vehicle. I don’t want to walk and be stopped by your people for questioning.” Vito said, patted Sura on the shoulder, and then walked over. Under the watchful eyes of the logistics personnel, they climbed onto the armored vehicle and stood on the hatch cover. The female attendant also climbed onto the armored vehicle and sat on the turret with her legs crossed. Vito turned his head and pointed to the space fighters in the engine room.
“They will answer other questions you want to ask.” After that, Vito drove the reconnaissance vehicle, spewing black smoke and sped away, leaving only Sura to look back at the huge space warrior wearing the Terminator behind him, Still, five.
