Chapter 279 The Rise of the Primarch: Official Robbery
The Infinite Frontier seemed to be hovering. Vito was walking in the huge corridor in the side courtyard. He also looked at the huge star on one side as he walked. The Northen star was still the same as in his memory, empty and covered with snow. Even though
This ice-breaking ball seems to have remained unchanged over the past ten thousand years.
It’s hard to believe what happened here at that time. The traces of the Executor’s bombing have long since disappeared. The Free Trade Alliance battleships have probably become part of ancient rock formations, buried deep underground, or even tectonic plates that have been around for thousands of years.
The movement has ground it until only a few fragments are left. When dug out, they probably look similar to trilobites.
As Vito walked, he tried hard to recall everything at that time, that battle, that encounter and the story, but unfortunately, he couldn't remember much anymore, as if that layer of memory was also covered like this planet.
A layer of snowflakes, but he had no time to think about that memory.
The sailors ran past him on both sides. They looked very busy. Many of them simply saluted him hastily. Although their movements were very non-standard, and most of them saluted while running and asking questions, Vito
He didn't intend to go into details, after all, he knew what they were busy with.
Outside the porthole window, there was not only the star of Northen, but also a huge battleship suspended in the void. The crimson battleship was docked on the front side of the Infinite Frontier. The ship was not as big as theirs. After all, it was not a warship, but even
In this way, its firepower is quite impressive, well, it can even be called quite good.
Double-decker macro guns are arranged on one side of the battleship. The ten combined side guns contain powerful firepower. Automatic cannons and honeycomb missile bays are also arranged on the upper deck. Vito even vaguely saw a few torpedoes being launched.
No matter, it has to be said that as a merchant ship, its firepower is close to that of a frigate.
This is not surprising. As the backbone of trade, economy and transportation between various star regions in the empire, Rogue Traders have always sailed around the universe all year round. However, in today's world, even in the "prosperity years", this darkness
The Milky Way is not so suitable for wandering around empty-handed, especially when you still have priceless goods in your hands.
So yes, the merchant ships of the Rogue Traders are quite armed, and they are very careful about protecting their goods and property. Those firepower can deal with pirates, even a small Chaos warband, or an alien fleet.
All are more than enough.
Especially when several Rogue Trader armed merchant ships sail in a group, the security level will be greatly increased. If I were you, I would think carefully when planning to rob them, and at least choose an opportunity to rob them. If not, I would
I suggest you wait first, otherwise you will definitely be beaten.
But from Vito's point of view, this fleet of Rogue Traders was not very lucky. Most of the ships suffered different types of damage, especially the merchant ship docked on the side of the Infinite Frontier.
Its side armor seemed to have been hit by something. The void shield seemed to be working effectively. The superstructure also had a lot of explosion marks. The corridors were full of holes and were cut off by vacuum explosion-proof doors. It looked like it was badly beaten.
, and it looks like he was tricked.
Vito raised his eyebrows slightly, and he stepped aside to get out of the way of a team of ground crew members who were running past him. They ran from behind Vito, seemingly not noticing that the person they just passed by was Vito. It's not their fault, because
They look quite busy.
The ground crew carried a pipe and ran through the corridor. Behind them, there was a group of servitors following them. Those martial souls were stiff and trotting as fast as they could. Although the movements of the servitors were very funny,
They looked as stiff as a bunch of puppets, but it was obvious that they were very busy.
Vito touched his chin and looked at the ships outside. He shrugged and followed the ground crew running towards the end of the corridor. He followed them to the docking deck, where it was a complete mess.
A large amount of supplies, maintenance equipment and servitors are everywhere here. The ground crews are led by their respective supervisors, or to be precise, they are ordered to move the supplies one by one onto the flatbed transport truck, or simply work as a team to carry the things.
Run across the wide deck and head towards the opposite cargo ship through the docking trestle.
A large number of transport vehicles came and went here, and materials were transported repeatedly. The priests of the Mechanicus commanded the army of servitors to march to the trestle and pass through the trestle that had been repaired in Macragge in an orderly manner.
I have to say that the technology of the Macragge Shipyard is pretty good. After Vito blew up the trestle with the Eldar psychic bomb, it was no longer needed for a long time, but the few days they docked at the Macragge Starport
It was repaired immediately, and I have to praise the efficiency of the local workers. Vito really hopes that there are such shipyards everywhere, so that every time he has a "bold" idea, he can go ahead and do it.
Vito looked at the busy deck with a smile, but soon a tall man walked out of the sea of busy ground crews and large groups of servitors. He was straddling a bolter, followed by a whole team of storms.
Soldiers, they are all armed with live ammunition, and wear all combat equipment, spare magazines, grenades, ordnance shovels and bayonets, and even night vision goggles?
Vito looked at them curiously. They looked like they were going to have a fight, but he knew that someone would answer his question soon, so Vito smiled and looked at Bell who was coming.
"Good afternoon, Bell, if I remember the time correctly." "You did remember it wrong, Inquisitor, it is night, nine o'clock in the evening to be precise." "Damn, I slept for so long? No.
Did you say five hours?" "When you went in, it was already afternoon, so yes, it is now evening after five hours."
Vito groaned and touched the back of his head, "Damn, it seems like this. Sorry, I have a terrible headache. It feels like there is a group of dark Eldar having a banquet in my head, or a group of greenskins in my head."
Li wahggggggggge.”
"I hope this will not affect your judgment, Judge, we need this very much." Bell said and walked to Vito's side. He looked at Vito's right arm and raised his hand slightly, "I also hope that your
The robotic arm has been maintained, at least to me, it looks pretty good."
"Actually, the effect is quite good." Vito smiled and suddenly raised his hand. His arms quickly spread to both sides, faster than ever before. The plasma cannon flashed blue light in it. Bell looked at the arm.
The weapon inside also looked at Vito's proud smile.
"Caul upgraded the weapon for me. Now this guy is the latest model. It also has Caul's exclusive formula. It should be able to penetrate the side of a Leman Russ, but I hope we don't need to blow up some.
Damn it, my brain hurts badly now."
As he spoke, the robotic arm automatically closed after a moment. Without any auxiliary movement, the robotic arm completed the instructions completely based on his brain waves, as if it were truly a part of Vito's body.
Bell dared to say that the quality and effect of this mechanical arm would definitely make all the Astral Militia jealous and hateful. Even the nobles probably did not have such an easy-to-use and sensitive mechanical arm, let alone the great sage.
The weapons I have debugged are more powerful.
The Ultramarine Pharmacist looked at Vito's closed arm. The mechanical arm put away the weapon tightly. It was not visible from the fully covered smart skin that it was a weapon. It could give the enemy a little help at some critical moments.
of surprise.
"No, we don't need to blow up something or fight with others." Bell looked at Vito and said carefully, his voice was forced to be raised in order to be able to overpower the noisy environment around him, let alone from the
There was a tinkling sound coming from the other end of the trestle.
Vito touched his chin and looked at the Stormtrooper Guards behind Bell. He shrugged slightly and pointed at their guns, "If we are not going to fight someone, I think their equipment is a bit too much? We also have ten patrols.
An energy magazine, a full set of grenades, and a composite carapace, isn’t it a bit overkill?”
Bell glanced at the stormtroopers behind him. He shook his head slightly and pointed to the opposite side of the trestle. Vito's eyes followed suit, "I believe you have seen their losses, those of the armed merchant ships."
"Yes, I saw it. They looked pretty badly beaten. I guess it would have cost a lot of money to repair it. I've lost all my money on this deal." Vito said mockingly and shrugged, looking completely unfazed.
He noticed something, or in other words, he was waiting for Bell to take the initiative to tell him, and Bell indeed planned to do so.
"Those losses were not caused by pirates, but by rebels on merchant ships. They were affected by the storm while traveling through subspace. With the spread of fear and rumors, some crew members chose to seek refuge with the cultists on the ship and launched a rebellion.
.”
Bell said as he looked at the maintenance team coming and going inside the trestle. Vito also noticed that there were many Marines standing on both sides of the wide hatch of the trestle. Their number was enough to make up a platoon, consisting of sandbags.
A simple offensive was carried out, with machine guns and twin laser cannons set up behind it.
The soldiers walked around the door with guns in hand, carefully observing everyone who passed by, and also alert to the situation on the other side of the trestle, as if someone might attack at any time.
"I guess the rebels have been wiped out, right? We don't need to do anything?" Vito asked with one hand on his hip. Bell shook his head affirmatively, "No, it's not necessary. Although Shang paid a heavy price, Shang
The fleet has suppressed the rebellion on its own, so we don't need to take action."
"Then these boys don't look like they are on vacation." Vito pointed back at the Stormtrooper Guards with his thumb. This time it was Bell's turn to shrug. He tilted his head and said, "You know,
Be prepared, no one has ever dared to say that they can kill all the Chaos cultists. Those guys are like cockroaches, they will always appear from dark corners, and if they are not safe, they will suddenly take the opportunity to attack us."
Vito held his chin and nodded thoughtfully. He also tilted his head slightly and looked at the captains at the gate in front of him to see what they were talking about. "So I guess, my current identity is an ordinary captain."
Inquisitor, right?"
"Yes, Captain Cole and Captain Eisenstein decided that if there are potential rebels on the other side, then we need to keep your identity secret. After all, we are now conducting a secret assault to Terra, and we cannot risk Chaos discovering it.
Plan." Bell clenched his fists and said, while Vito smiled bitterly.
"Ah, okay, although some people will know, such as Lilith and Slaanesh." Vito said, and the next few words became quieter and quieter. Bell obviously didn't hear it. It was too noisy here, even if it was Ah
Even with Stat's superhuman hearing, it was difficult to hear Vito's chirping voice clearly.
Vito sighed and patted his trouser legs. He raised his head and looked at Bell, "Okay, it's time to work. Where's Cole? He asked me to come." "The captain is there, come with me."
Bell took the lead in that direction as he spoke, and Vito followed naturally. The Stormtroopers followed behind without saying a word. They held their guns and followed the Inquisitor and the Ultramarines through the busy streets.
On the deck, we came to the door where the captains met.
Captain Cole was talking to several captains about these things. He raised his hands and gestured, "I think if possible, we can provide you with some fuel, so that you can sail to the next Imperial star port.
.”
"We are grateful Captain, but what we need more now is some." "Some what?"
Mr. Rogue Trader was stuck before he could finish his words. He and several captains turned to look at the person who answered the call. Then they were all stunned because although the person who came was only wearing a black jacket with a zipper
It was still loose and she looked like she had just woken up, but she was wearing a pendant with the letter i of the Inquisition on her waist.
All the captains fell silent. This is normal. After all, no one in the empire is afraid of the Inquisitor, right? I hope you will be afraid, because if you are not afraid, then we will question your loyalty.
As we all know, there are only three types of people who are not afraid of the Inquisitor: members of the Inquisition, the Emperor and his elders, and heretics!
Vito walked over with a smile. He looked at the captains who were so frightened that they could not speak. They should indeed be afraid. After all, a chaos rebellion just broke out on their ship, and then they ran into an Inquisitor.
No one else is so lucky. Anyone who gets shot is a happy ending.
"Judge Vito, it looks like you're awake." Cole was much calmer than them. He nodded to Vito and greeted him, and Vito nodded to him, continuing to pretend to be serious.
"Hello, Captain Cole, would you like to introduce these gentlemen to me?" Vito stopped next to Cole and several captains. The latter few people looked at the stormtroopers behind Vito.
The laser gun looked at them indifferently, but what frightened them more than these executioners of the Inquisition was undoubtedly the Space Marine behind Vito.
With his helmet under his arm and a bolt gun hanging on his waist, Bell looked at the captains in front of him. He was silent, but the aura exuded by his superhuman body was enough to scare the captains into speechlessness.
