Chapter 104 The End of the Era: The Calm Before the Assault

The green fluorescent light illuminated Vito's nose and cheeks. The small holographic structure diagram in front of his black eyes, his fingers fiddled with the holographic sphere in front of him, and the holographic structure layer of the Black Stone Fortress opened layer by layer as he clicked and dragged. Every channel and every deck in it was clearly suspended in front of Vito.

His eyes swept through the layers of channels of the Eternal Will. He slid the left armor structure of the fortress with his left hand, and then a small red dot flashed in the holographic image of the Black Stone Fortress.

The engine room, or the reactor core, of course, this is not the reactor installed by the Human Empire, but the ancient reactor that the Black Stone Fortress had when it was discovered. Its superb technological content made the Mechanicus obsessed with research for a long time at that time. It was also because of this that the Mechanicus recorded the perfection of the Black Market Fortress, with an outrageously detailed structural diagram.

This group of oilers has been studying, scanning, checking and more importantly recording for centuries. The entire hologram has become extremely detailed, and even every pipe and cable has been marked and recorded.

Although Vito hates the Mechanicus most of the time, especially the habit of Omega, such as suddenly stopping when they are fighting with the aliens, spending a whole hour scanning and analyzing an alien device, and then letting them die outside.

But sometimes he will sincerely rejoice in their bad habits, especially when he is about to go to a springboard, having an outrageously detailed structural diagram in hand can increase his chances of winning.

Vito raised his head and looked at the Space Marines on the tarmac. The Space Wolves were gathering here, and most of them were preparing in their own teams.

The Space Wolves, wearing the power armor of the Great Crusade era, were preparing for battle. Some of them were wiping their chainsaw axes or chainsaw swords, while others were checking their bolters and heavy weapons. They dismantled their bolters, carefully checked them one by one, and reassembled them.

Weapon boxes engraved with Fenris totems were carried to the deck by the servitors, and the Wolf warriors opened those large boxes, grabbed a handful of bolter ammunition from them and loaded them into the magazines, or replaced their current weapons.

The Wolf Guard sergeant walked among the soldiers under his command with heavy steps. The Wolf Guard would check the soldiers' weapons from time to time and help them adjust their weapons to the best state.

The soldiers talked to each other and did not seem to be tragic about dying. They were still chatting and laughing, reciting the Bible to appease the machine spirit, and the work of applying holy oil and lubricating oil was carried out in an orderly manner.

Vito looked at the countless Thunderhawks quietly parked in the hangar. A full fifty Thunderhawks were parked in the hangar of the Infinite Frontier. The entire hangar was completely emptied to allow these steel raptors to have a place to park.

The servitors were preparing under the command of the technical sergeant. Fuel was poured into the tanks. The wings of the fighters were swinging up and down for inspection under the control of the pilots. Missiles were hung on the weapon racks one by one, and the explosive bomb cannons were also loaded under the hard work of the servitors.

The ammunition truck was parked next to the station. A whole string of explosive bombs slid smoothly into the cannons. The ground crew carefully checked the loading status with the data panel.

The gray raptors of the Wild Wolves were still ready, and the wolf pack itself would soon set off.

Sven Bloodhowl deployed half of his warriors and armed forces to the Infinite Frontier. One hundred Space Wolves Space Marines, a whole company of troops from other chapters, were gathering on the wide deck and waiting for orders.

The Cadian warriors and the Skitarii were scattered on the other landing and take-off decks. Vito learned from the communication channel that they had completed their departure preparations and could attack at any time.

This was Sven's idea. If the Infinite Frontier and the Firemane Fang were to attack together, then the warriors on them should be equally divided between the two ships to ensure that when any ship successfully attacked the edge of the Blackstone Fortress, it could send enough forces to launch an attack.

This was a backup plan, Vito knew, because no one knew that the ship could complete the assault deployment without being destroyed, so yes, this was a classic suicide attack deployment.

But what surprised Vito was that when he told Cole about this plan, the captain was very calm, and did not even shout and refute something, but calmly began the deployment work.

Vito asked him if he didn't scold himself, and Cole's original words were like this.

Ah, there is another thing. Sven handed over the command of the entire Space Wolves Chapter assault force here to Vito. It's outrageous for him to command these wolves, right? A mortal commanding an Astartes, it would be impossible for someone else or another regiment to do so.

But the Wolves believed in Vito, whether it was Sven or the warriors here, so yes, Vito once again did something very outrageous.

"This is not the first time you, a dog-day bastard, have led us to our deaths, and it won't be the last time, so get ready, bastard."

Well, at least Cole is confident, right? But it is true that this is the nth time Vito has led them to do such a suicide mission, but so far they can still live to do it again.

In fact, everyone on Vito's ship reacted calmly, and even the ground crew completed the deployment expressionlessly. It seems that no one thinks that this time the whole family went to attack the Blackstone Fortress together. There is nothing worth mentioning. Well, Vito seems to do similar things every time, and everyone is desensitized.

A burst of noise attracted Vito's attention. He looked over. In the open space between the Thunder Eagle and the Thunder Eagle in the center of the deck, Ragnar and Lancelot were having a daily contest. The two giants One man wielded a chain ax and the other wielded a power sword and fought each other, while the surrounding Space Wolves burst into howls.

To be honest, every time they do this, Vito wonders, did that old bastard use the wrong canine genes when he was training Leman Russ? For example, I got the wrong one for a husky.

The cheerful young wolf warriors crowded around, waving their battle axes and yelling and cheering. Every time Ragnar slashed, there was a burst of cheers, and every time Lancelot struck, there was an even bigger wave. of cheers.

The constant shouting seems to have become the new normal at the airport. The happy soldiers have high morale and seem to have completely forgotten what they are going to do. But indeed, this is also a good habit at this moment, isn't it?

Suddenly a figure fell down and was hugged by Vito subconsciously. Lilith sat on Vito's wrist and put her arms around his neck. She kissed Vito very directly. .

The young wolves looked over and made a hooting sound. Lancelot also looked over, and in the moment he was distracted, he was punched in the face by Ragnar and fell to the ground.

"Aha! Leman Russ is on top! I am Victory. My Sun!" Ragnar raised his arms and cheered for victory, but before he could say a few words, he saw Ragnar's cheers from Vito's side. It immediately turned into a wail, and he swung his ax and shouted.

"I'm sorry! Vito! Go back to your room and do this!" "The one who beats you! Husky!" "What?!" "A kind of wolf from ancient Terra! I'm praising you!" "

Vito finally broke away from Lilith's "deep kiss" and cursed loudly. Ragna waved his arms and cursed. His voice was loud enough to make the entire deck pay attention to the inquisitor's "private love life."

Vito pointed at Ragnar and shouted righteously, "Lion! Bite him!" "As you command!"

Lancelot, who had been waiting for revenge, jumped up and punched Ragnar on the chin. The wild wolf fell to the ground, and the lion of Caliban immediately pounced on him. As they fought together, the attention of all the space warriors was immediately drawn back to the fight between the lion and the wolf.

Vito looked at the joy over there. He glanced at Lilith who was sitting in his arms. The latter's little succubus tail had begun to climb up along Vito's arm. Vito hit her The little head said, "There are more than a hundred space warriors! One shot per man and we will be gone!"

Lilith smiled and touched her head, put her head in his arms and stretched, "What are you pretending to be? It's not like you can't stop a hundred explosive bombs."

"When did I stop a hundred explosive bombs?" Vito asked in surprise. Lilith smiled and scratched her finger on Vito's neck. The electric shock made Vito tremble all over, and he After putting down Lilith, the queen of the succubi naturally stood up and sat on the Thunderhawk driver's door frame behind Vito.

Lilith held her chin and looked at the lion and wolf fighting together. Ragnar and Lancelot were fighting. You punched me and I punched each other, but it seemed that they did not resent each other but were happy. They cursed each other, and fought fiercely amidst the curses and cheers from the surrounding soldiers.

"Ragnar is very popular among young warriors." Lilith said, shaking her feet. Vito leaned on the armor plate of the fighter plane next to her, turned on the display and continued to look at the structural diagram.

"Yes, he is."

It was not Vito who answered Lilith, but Olaf who came in heavy power armor. The old wolf strode over holding a priest warhammer. He came to the Thunder Eagle and nodded politely to Lilith.

"Ragnar was once the best among the young warriors. He saved the lives of many people during the Mokai Trial. He didn't just want to become a celestial warrior himself, but wanted all his brothers to be like this."

Olaf looked at Ragnar who was laughing during the fight and said, "That was not a lone wolf, but the leader of a pack of wolves. I still remember that day he arrived at Wolffang Castle with ten recruits. I have never seen this. This happened, and the challengers united and obeyed around one of them, crossing the ice and completing the terrible challenge."

"He is an unruly wolf, but he is also a leader. We all believe that one day he will achieve many things we have never imagined."

Lilith looked at Olaf with a smile. Her smile was still so charming. Vito's enhanced hearing could hear someone among the new recruits discussing Lilith. Well, most of the content would probably be lost if it were in other battle groups. Their sergeant major was about to use electric batons to deal with them.

If it were in the Dark Angels and Imperial Fists, they would probably be shot directly, but obviously, the Space Wolves are very "open" to this behavior.

Vito dared to say that Lilith could hear those comments, but she was very happy to enjoy this unique "praise" and seemed to enjoy it. She lifted up her long hair and nudged the back of Vito's head with her toes.

"Don't look at it. When we fight, it's all about improvising." "You get twice the result with half the effort, understand? Be fully prepared before taking action."

Vito said but also turned off the monitor. The holographic structure image of Blackstone Fortress disappeared. Olaf looked at the holographic structure picture and nodded slightly, "This is how Lord Guilliman taught the Ultramarines. He taught them to become excellent tactics." with the master of strategy to bring out all the power."

"But, the primarch did not write the methods of dealing with all troubles, especially the confusion and doubts in the scriptures, right?"

Lilith smiled and held her chin. As a succubus of Slaanesh, she keenly captured Olaf's haze. She and her girls are very good at this, hooking out all the secrets of people's inner thoughts.

Olav did not intend to hide it, because he knew that Vito could see that he had always been the most meticulous one.

"Yes, the Ultramarines are excellent tactical masters and strategists, but they do not know how to deal with their inner fluctuations and thoughts, just like most young space warriors."

"And there is only one young Ultramarines on our ship, Olaf, I know who you are talking about, what about the others?" Vito raised his head and asked, Olaf slightly tilted his head to indicate the Thunderhawk in the corner in the distance, the blue Thunderhawk fighter.

Vito sighed and patted Lily's legs, then stood up and walked in that direction. Lilith sat in the Thunderhawk cockpit and looked at Vito with her chin in her hand, while Olaf stood beside her and looked at Vito.

"He is an outstanding leader, no worse than any I have ever seen." Old Wolf said, while Lilith smiled and looked at Vito, her long eyelashes slightly floating down.

"Yes, if he had listened to us at that time, this galaxy would not have become such a mess."

"You? Did the Inquisition ever advise Vito to take over the mission of a certain leader?" Olaf asked, then nodded affirmatively, "It must be a difficult mission, and I believe the Inquisitor can do it."

"He could have replaced him."
