Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor - #688 - Chapter 670 Doomsday Storm: Faith

Vito has been to Parmenio, which is one of the core worlds in the south of the Extreme Star Territory. The so-called core worlds are the colonies of the former Human Federation that have been fully developed before the Great Crusade. In the past, Parmenio and the Five Hundred Worlds were called the Reach Galaxy by the Federation.

This is the edge of the Federation’s power, and it is also the pearl of the entire border sector. Yes, as early as that time, the Five Hundred Worlds were already rich and civilized, even during the tragic Eldar-Human War and the subsequent Iron Man Rebellion. , the Zhiyuan Galaxy did not suffer too much damage from the war.

Even in the later imperial era, in this ghost era where wars were all over the universe, the Five Hundred Worlds maintained an amazing long-term peace. This made the residents here ignorant of war for thousands of years. So, when the war started, You can imagine the situation here.

Vito was squeezed on the street, and he began to regret his choice of this body. He was still small and too thin, and was crushed by the crowds swarming on the street. He was almost trampled by them several times.

Vito raised his head and tried his best to see the surroundings clearly, but as I said, he was too short and was squeezed in the middle of the road by the rushing and chaotic crowd. Looking around, those people were afraid The faces, as well as the various luggage they were carrying, those large and small packages, kept bumping into Vito’s body.

For example, now, a certain expensive-looking bag happened to hit Vito’s face. He immediately felt a stinging sensation on the bridge of his nose, and he covered his nose and complained.

“Damn it, don’t people here know how to care about women, respect the old and care for the young?” he said, and the answer was very simple and direct, yes, under the threat of death, any traditional virtues have no effect here. , there are many children also on the street, some of them who are more lucky are being led by adults, while some of them who are more unlucky are orphans and can only hold the younger children and move forward with difficulty in the chaotic crowd.

The constant explosions in the distance and the flames filling the air continued to add fuel to the already chaotic crowd and pour gasoline on the fire.

Vito turned to look at the latest explosion. The explosion was very close at hand, not far from the end of the street. The barricade there was flashing with gunfire. A Chimera infantry fighting vehicle was driving onto the street from behind the crowd. He Behind them were local defense forces armed with weapons.

It is said to be a defense force, but in fact it is more like a militia. As I said, the five hundred worlds have not seen war for a hundred years. There is no standing defense force system like the rest of the empire, which is always facing war areas. These poor people may have been just a moment ago. Clerks, engineers, or dock porters, but now, they can only just pick up a gun of unknown make and use it to defend their home and country.

As you can imagine, their morale is similar to that of the refugees here. They move along the streets in a chaotic and noisy manner. The originally wide streets have become overcrowded due to the influx of people. Everyone is eating canned sardines. Same, squeezed in the middle of Pilgrim Street.

On both sides of the street, armored vehicles and military vehicles of the National Defense Force were parked on both sides. Soldiers with guns on their backs stood on the roofs of the vehicles, waving their arms to direct the crowd to move forward. They tried their best to maintain order, but unfortunately, it was of no use at all.

Quarrels broke out one after another, and the originally decent citizens were now willing to break their heads and bleed for a little space. What they were fighting for was not money or any material wealth, but a small position.

At the end of the street is a magnificent church, which fully demonstrates how prosperous and developed this planet was in the past.

Now, it has become the only refuge. Nurgle’s demonic army is attacking from other parts of the city. There are no Astartes in the local defense force, so needless to say, they quickly lost almost all the planet. land, and this was only two days after the war started.

When Vito arrived here the day before yesterday, the situation was still under control, but after just one night, the entire planet was in complete chaos. Countless hives were instantly burned to the ground. The fleeing residents among them brought terrible news. These rumors spread among the crowd. It continued to spread and finally formed the current situation.

The lovely Vito, I mean, the blond little girl was also brought here as an orphan by the defense forces, joining other war orphans and refugees, heading towards the last safe place in the entire city.

The reason why it is safe is, first, because people often place their hopes on those magnificent things, such as faith, in such desperate situations. Second, it is also because there is the last and most reliable armed force on the planet, the Battle Sisters. A religious order of the Order is stationed here.

They were not locals. According to the information Vito learned, they had just arrived and then participated in this tragic war. They suffered heavy losses like the local defense forces, but with the power of faith and better bolters, Power armor also allowed them to become the last and most reliable weapon in this catastrophe.

They were stationed in the church at the end, and now, that naturally became the common goal of the entire city’s residents. They flocked to the door of the church, and in front of the stairs, high fences and barricades were erected, and two armored vehicles were parked. There, the battle sisters stood in front of the only passage, blocking the incoming crowd.

Needless to say, not everyone can enter. It is very simple. The space of the church is not infinite. Only those who really need it will be put in it, and who needs it? Is it money? Is it based on fame? Maybe, but ultimately, the nuns have the final say.

So for this reason, the crowd was beaten to pieces. The originally decent people, the nobles who lived on the top floor of the hive, were now as vicious as the thugs in the lower hive. They quarreled with each other and even fought. From time to time, someone started shooting in the crowd. gun.

For example, now, screams resounded again, and there was a gunshot. The crowd was instantly confused and crowded. Pushing and quarrels broke out instantly. The people behind did not know what was happening in front, and thought it was a chaotic fight from behind. They came in, so they started to move forward crazily, while the people in the middle were pushed from behind and collided with the people in front.

Screams and moans kept ringing in Vito’s ears. He, or should I say her? Well, it was her. She was also squeezed forward. Fortunately, although her body became petite, the skills in her mind did not deteriorate. Vito nimbly dodged among the crowd and got into the gaps to keep himself standing. , instead of being stepped on like other poor people.

This little girl who looked to be only fifteen years old saw with her own eyes a person’s head being crushed by the crowd running forward from behind. She also saw other children who screamed, but not as young as this one. , but in fact, the girl who is more mature than anyone present is calm.

“Damn it, I should be a battle nun, where are the Eva people? I’m almost squeezed to death.” Vito complained, weaving through the crowd, he bent down and got under a man’s crotch, leaning down As Zi moved forward, these people did not notice a short girl passing between them.

Amid the squeeze of the crowd, Vito passed through the most chaotic middle area. He passed over the quite untimely fountain built in the middle of the road, and when he reached the front, he heard a scream.

That was the scream of a smaller girl. She was constantly being squeezed back and forth among the crowd, holding a small luggage in her hands. The red dress was well made. It seemed that she had been someone. The youngest daughter of the family, but now, it seems that her parents are not here, maybe she has someone to take care of her, but they are obviously not around her either.

The little girl was bumped back and forth by people in front and behind her, and her steps began to stagger. Not far in front of her, the security forces rushed into the crowd. They yelled at the guns, trying to restore order and stop the forward movement. crowd.

There seemed to be an argument. Vito couldn’t hear what they were arguing about, but the content was not complicated. After the argument, a soldier opened fire. The sound of huge gunfire echoed above the crowd, and screams came from the front.

“They’re shooting! They’re shooting!”

Someone yelled, and then there were screams and groans. It seemed that someone had been shot. The crowd moving forward stopped instantly and turned back. They bumped into the girl, and she fell down instantly. Go down.

You can imagine what would happen if you fell in such a place, but the moment the little girl fell, a hand grabbed her, and she was pulled aside and bumped into someone’s arms.

“Are you okay?” a voice asked. The girl raised her head and saw golden eyes and blond hair falling on her face. It was another girl, taller and more developed in figure.

“I’m fine, thank you. Are you here to escape too?” “It’s obvious, isn’t it? Who is here?” She said, another burst of gunfire came, and the older girl raised her head and looked forward, “But we still hurry up Come on, this is not the place for introductions, come with me.”

She took the girl’s hand and started to move forward. They slipped through the gaps between the chaotic crowds that were constantly squeezing around. The little girl was surprised to find that the older girl’s body skills were better than expected. Carry yourself through the seemingly illogical crowds with precision.

She could always find the most suitable place and the most perfect moment to lead her through the chaos to a safe passage. In this way, they kept moving forward, slipping through the sound of gunfire and chaos.

“Who are you?” “Ah? My name is Helena. What’s yours?” the tall blond girl replied. At the same time, she turned sideways and pulled the little girl to lean on her, avoiding the person who fell from the front. A strong man, “Sarah.”

The little girl said in a panic. She covered her ears and subconsciously leaned into the arms of the older girl who brought her a sense of security. There were gunshots everywhere.

“Ah, Salad? Well, this name is really familiar. I have several friends with this name, who are as beautiful as you.” “Thank you, you are also very beautiful.”

She must have come from a wealthy family, and even in such a chaotic environment, she did not forget to be polite, but the sound of gunshots quickly silenced her. She covered her ears, and the blond girl smiled, took her wrist and looked at her. She had no choice but to keep going.

The crowd became more and more chaotic and crowded, and they were almost hit several times, but the big girl could always find a safe passage.

“Why did you help me?” “What?” “Why did you help me? There are many people who need help here, but you, why did you help me?” “Ah, how should I put it? I like black hair and your name Reminds me of an old friend, so that’s it.”

She said, pulling the girl, hugging her to avoid the people she bumped into, smiling at her and winking, “I’m very casual, I always follow my mood, and I can always guess right. For example, now, we have to hurry up and leave before the next gunshot.”

She put down the little girl and held her wrist. Amidst the gunfire, she took advantage of the chaotic crowd in front to get through. They quickly arrived at the position of the defense forces. The soldiers lined up in a row, holding their guns in front of them. Blocking the swarming crowd, their commander was behind, raising his pistol high and firing into the air.

“Get back! Get back!” he shouted, and the crowd all lowered their heads amid the gunshots. Some of them took courage and continued to move forward, and then were shot by the cursing commander.

The crowd screamed and retreated one after another. The soldiers also subconsciously lowered their heads in the sound of gunfire. This created a gap in the formation between them. Taking this opportunity, the older girl pulled the younger girl from among the soldiers. Drilled through.

“Hey! Stop!” The commander noticed them, came forward and grabbed the little girl’s hand. His strength was too great, and the inertia caused the little girl to scream in pain.

The older girl turned around and frowned at the commander. The latter raised his head and raised his pistol and yelled, “Go back! No one can pass here without permission! This is order!”

“Order? See if there is order here? If you want to survive, you have to leave here.” After the big girl finished speaking, she went up and grabbed the commander’s hand. She shook the commander’s hand away with amazing strength. The latter took a few steps back, looked at her in surprise, and then raised his gun and aimed at the older girl.

“I said! Go back!”

The little girl screamed and was pulled behind by the older girl. She looked directly at the commander, staring at the pistol and calculating the most suitable moment.

“Enough! There is enough chaos here!” Loud shouts came from the stairs. The commander raised his head, and the little girl turned her head and saw the Battle Sister on the stairs. She jumped onto the barricade and raised the explosive bomb. Guns were fired into the air, and the explosions were louder than any other sound, enough to overwhelm all the noise present.

The crowd screamed and lowered their bodies, and the defense troops leaned down. They held their guns and hurriedly looked for the target. Then they all froze when they saw it was the Battle Sister.

“Don’t you think not many people died today? This is the emperor’s sanctuary! It’s not a slaughterhouse or a market! Look what you are doing?” the gray-haired nun yelled, she lowered her bolter and pointed at He pointed to the crowd, and then pointed to the commander, “Commander, let the children come in. At this time, as adults, think about what the emperor taught you!”

“Yes, Sister!” the commander shouted in response. He turned around, raised his gun and yelled at his soldiers, “Let the boys in! Everyone retreat! Sisters are ordered to get out of the way!”

The commander led the soldiers into the crowd. The soldiers with guns used bayonets to push back the chaotic crowd, pulled out the children among them, and then pushed them back slightly roughly.

“Let’s go.” The older girl with blond hair said to the little girl with black hair, and then took her hand and came to the barricade before the children. At the checkpoint, the gray-haired nun jumped down, carrying Gun nodded to the two children, “You are safe, go in.”

“Well done, little sister.” The blond girl smiled at the gray-haired nun, who had a cold face, but nodded to her with a certain respect.

“Go in, the time we arranged should be around.” Before the nun could finish her words, she suddenly raised her head. She turned to look at the wall that had been knocked open on the street. On one side of the avenue, there was a towering wall. Suddenly a huge creature crashed in, it was a giant demon of Nurgle.

The crowd screamed, and the demon killed dozens of people in an instant. It stood on the street and looked around, then suddenly looked in the direction of the church. It opened its bloody mouth and then rushed over.

The defense forces immediately shot at it. The beam hit the demon, but was completely unable to stop it. The demon broke through the defense line of the defense forces, cut several of them into pieces, and then stepped on the bloody corpses of the refugees. Rushed over.

The little girl looked at the demon, screamed and buried her head. She held her head and listened to the howling arms, but in the end, it stopped and there was no sound.

The little girl raised her head in doubt and saw the demon retreating backwards. It looked in this direction with fear in its eyes, and its distorted voice became low and hoarse, “The demon who hates Him!”

The devil roared, and the little girl turned her head, and with all the nuns, she saw the figure floating from the ground. She slowly raised her head, with her blond hair flying, and her golden eyes burst out with dazzling light.
