Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor - #697 - Chapter 678 Doomsday Storm: Brothers’ Conflict

The huge gunfire echoed in the empty corridor of the church. It was the sound of heavy bombs whizzing through the air, followed by the collapse of debris. The gorgeous statue of the bishop collapsed, and Those who destroy it are those who are supposed to protect and accept his guidance.

After Sister Silence rushed out of the corridor, she hid behind the stone pillar with a quick step. She held the giant sword and looked outside at her crazy sisters, although she never regarded them as sisters, especially when they shot at her. .

At the other end of the corridor, the battle nuns of the State Church were striding forward. They were launching a fierce attack on this section. Explosive bombs and kinetic energy weapons were their mouthpieces. These nuns always recited scriptures, classics and The so-called holy training, but during the battle, it was unexpectedly quiet.

So much so that the members of the Defense Force who shouted to them had just stuck their heads out and were shot in the head before they could say a word. The Sisters of Silence dodged the bullets hitting them and roared loudly, “What are they doing?! They are crazy.” Are you there? Why are you shooting at us?”

Sister Silence almost roared and asked, only in this way could the voice penetrate the noisy hall and be heard clearly by the commander of the defense force who was also here and tasked with guarding the saints with her.

And he did hear it, and responded with the same voice, “I don’t know, they told my sentry at the gate that they were going to take the saint away. He informed me, but before I could respond, gunshots rang out. ”

The commander roared, lowering his head to avoid the explosive shells that shattered the bunker. The firepower of the Battle Sisters completely overwhelmed the defenders. The explosive shells were far better than the defenders’ lasers in such a close firefight. They belonged to the Space Marines. weapons that only nuns can use among mortals.

Although they were raised by the state education, it was not to train them to be kind church maids. The mission of bringing spiritual comfort to mortals belongs to their kind sisters, and they who are more irritable and irritable are also He also received the mission of consolation, but it was just to use explosive bombs to send death consolation to the enemies of the church.

Has the Ecclesiarchy finally broken with Guilliman’s men? Sister Silence didn’t know, she only knew that she had a mission, and the left claw of the Emperor’s Claw would never fail.

Sister Silence hid behind the stone pillar. After the defense forces were eliminated or retreated, she stepped forward from behind the stone pillar and struck away the muzzle of the Battle Sister behind her with a sword, and then cut her body with a sword.

Sister Silence is a more capable female warrior than Sister Battle. She was not raised in an Anglican church. She has never received any formal military training. All her combat qualities were taught to her by the Hive City. And this, Let her be even more forged into a powerful weapon.

Sister Silence dodged the bomb and rushed forward. She pierced Sister Battle’s elbow as she prepared to shoot with her sword. She pulled it off with her backhand and then stepped forward and pierced her chest. Sister Silence grabbed the bomb. With his gun, he flicked his hand and shot the head of another nun at close range.

She moved forward again, charging and rolling to avoid the incoming bullets. She started from a half-crouched position but fired rapidly with one hand with the most precise movements. When the magazine was emptied, she broke the legs of several nuns.

When Sister Silence was about to throw away the bolter, there were rapid footsteps behind her and the roar of the chain saw sounded at the same time. She shook her head suddenly and fired several shots with the muzzle to completely empty the magazine. But the bullet was lucky, or unlucky, depending on whose perspective you were looking at.

Perhaps it was the emperor’s favor, or more likely, super powerful combat power. The Sister used the chain saw to deflect all the explosive bombs. At the same time, she thrust out a sword and penetrated the bolt gun. The roaring chain saw came from The gun thrust out from the back and almost hit Sister Silence.

“What are you doing?” Sister Silence shouted, and at the same time she pulled away from her. She raised her power sword. The head nun in front of her also tightened her grip on the chain sword, and spoke in a firm and unquestionable tone, ” The Emperor has a destiny, and we must take away the Saints. If you block the way, you must pay for your crime of hindering the Emperor’s will.”

“Are you crazy? The Emperor asked you to come here to kill his own people?!” Sister Silence shouted in disbelief, gesturing to the bleeding battlefield around her. The Battle Sisters and the officers and soldiers of the Defense Force were fighting madly in the church. The ammunition that should be fired at Chaos is now being fired at our own people.

“This is the Emperor’s will, and his orders must be carried out!” The Grand Mother Sister was unreasonable and rushed to kill her with great fanaticism. Holding the chain sword tightly, she rushed towards the Sister of Silence and killed her with a leap. Sister Silence showed no sign of weakness and faced him with a backhand sword. The collision between the chain saw and the power sword shattered the relief on the side.

“Put down your weapons! Listen, everyone, we will save the saints! Lord Guilliman needs us. This is the emperor’s will!” On the war-torn battlefield, Father Mathieu stood at the center of the battlefield without fear. In the center, he warned the defenders in a loud voice, and what he said did shake the defenders.

After all, they were opening fire on their own people. Not long ago, they were comrades fighting side by side to defend against the invaders, but now, they were fighting a civil war as brothers.

“Keep firing! Lord Guilliman ordered that no one can take the girl away, then this is an order! Except for the orders of Lord Guilliman himself, the rest are bullshit!” The shout of Sister Silence interrupted all In the fantasy, the defense forces woke up and continued to fire. The laser beams were fired at the battle sisters one by one, and they exploded bombs in response.

The battle between the two sides became more and more brutal. As the Battle Sisters advanced and got closer to the detention room, the defense forces had no room to retreat. Not only because they were ordered to defend this place, but also because the detention room was in the corner of the church. There is only no way out of the wall.

Close combat is often accompanied by the most cruel tactics. Lasers and explosive bombs echo each other at close range. The cold light of chain saws and bayonets flash each other. The cry of killing is awakened along with the screams. The battle nuns and defense The soldiers fought each other in hand-to-hand combat, with chain saws tearing apart skulls and bayonets piercing the abdomen.

Blood dyed the white marble red, and both sides fought desperately on a vast red ocean. If either side chose to retreat and compromise, then this civil war that perhaps should not exist at all would be ended in an instant, but no, no one retreated , one side is the order, the other side is the emperor’s mission, there is no possibility of retreating.

Sister Silence and Mother Superior, two female warriors that the empire should be proud of, were fighting in the center of the hall. Around them were the nuns and guards who were selflessly fighting each other. Finally, one person couldn’t stand it anymore.

Father Mathieu jumped up to a high place, raised his arms and implored everyone in the hall, “In the name of the Emperor, stop! The Emperor’s daughters and sons should not kill each other!”

“Go ahead and talk to your fellow bastards from the state religion who eat human bones! Guess what, Father? I am a girl who came from a place where the state religion exploited her and her family was ruined! You want me to believe in your bullshit teachings? Go ahead and eat shit!” Sister Silence cursed loudly in a rough accent like a low nest, the last syllable being particularly loud. She slashed away the elder nun with a sword, grabbed the gun on the ground and pointed it at the priest, “This is a rebellion, and I know it without even thinking. It was you, the religious lunatic, who incited me to put down my arms? I tell you it’s impossible! Lord Guilliman ordered me to stay here, otherwise I can’t even think about it!”

“Let blood dye this place red! You religious lunatics! Use your blood!” Sister Silence roared angrily. She had no awe or fear of the priest shooting, because she had done it before, in order to prevent the priest from raping her when she was a child. She knows the face of the state religion, and their talk of morality and justice is all nonsense.

This is the biggest problem between the state religion and the emperor himself. The image and behavior shown by many priests and churches of the state religion to the people are completely different from the emperor himself, but you tell people that this is the emperor. agent? How can you question why someone would doubt or even “betray” the Emperor?

Lord Guilliman, the Marshal gave her a new life, they saved her from the hive, then she would do anything for them and never fail.

Mathieu sadly looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, his heart was cut with a knife. He did not want to see the sons and daughters of the empire fighting each other, and he was even less willing to fire on them, but if this was the emperor’s will, his order It must be carried out, take away the Saint, save Guilliman and the true Emperor, that’s all.

But just before Mathieu raised his gun, Sister Silence suddenly flew out and hit the wall. She fell to the ground unconscious in the blink of an eye. The guards and nuns on both sides turned to look and saw the man from The living saint who tore open the door of the solitary room and walked out, Vito walked out.

He walked barefoot on the bloody water, looking down at the scene of fratricide around him like a sad saint, “That’s enough, everyone put down their weapons. The priest is right, it’s enough. The children of the empire have shed enough blood.” ”

“She…is dead?” the elder nun asked in surprise. Although she fought with Sister Silence and swung her sword to kill each other, in her heart, she never regarded her as an outsider. She was her sister. She didn’t want her to pass away like this and return to the throne in this way.

“No, she was just fainted. I didn’t do anything against her.” Vito shook his head. He generally didn’t do anything cruel to women, especially his own men.

Of course, he could also choose to stand up and persuade the Sisters of Silence to end the conflict, but according to his understanding of these loyal but stubborn female warriors, the time it takes to convince her will increase the number of people who will die. She will not Just like a real little girl, drinking tea and sitting down to chat with you.

So yes, as always, Vito chose the simplest and most efficient way to solve the problem, and he couldn’t be exposed yet. He hadn’t seen him yet and conveyed the decision that would determine the fate of the entire galaxy and even the entire universe. So I can only aggrieve the loyal Sister Silence.

Vito raised his head, and everyone in front of him stopped fighting. They looked up at the saint, maybe out of intimidation, or maybe out of heartfelt piety, but no matter how fierce they were fighting each other just now, in this For a moment, in those holy eyes, all resentment disappeared.

“Guilliman is in trouble. The Emperor’s son needs us. Who will escort me there?” Vito asked without any suspense. He knew the answer. There was only one answer to this kind of question.

All the guns in the hall were raised. Bombs, lasers, chain saws and power were all indistinguishable from each other. All the weapons that were fighting just now were united under one will and one voice, waiting for the same simple move. Order.

They all knew what the order was, and they didn’t need to hear it, but they were waiting to hear it anyway.

“The blood of the children of the empire should not be shed in a place like this. Now, come with me and use your blood to write a magnificent cause. The future of the empire is waiting for all of you.”
