Chapter 629: Battle of the Beasts: The Future Route

Brilliant and weird flashes of light shine on the steel armor, as if there are dozens of completely different colors on its surface. The light flows on its surface, flowing along the inclined arc surface to the surrounding buildings, and The light spear turret was buried deep between the top buildings.

The halo flowed along the barrel, falling from the huge dome like a waterfall, and fell on the golden Imperial Sky Eagle with its wings spread. Its head raised high seemed to be soaring among the colors.

The arc light flashed on the green screen, and the data bytes rolled over it. The reflection on the screen reflected the person sitting in front. He picked up the coffee that was shimmering in the colorful light and took a sip.

After a while, there was a beeping sound. He turned to look, then pushed away the table and stood up. He walked over to the table on the side of the tall steps connected to the stairs and turned off the coffee machine. He lifted it up from the heating cushion and filled it with hot water. The coffee was poured into a mug branded with the letter "I" of the Inquisition.

He held the mug and walked up the stairs behind him, approaching the dome glass that shed light from above. Under the glass was a wide high platform with arc-shaped consoles and various Such integrated system terminal.

They surrounded a throne, with one hand leaning on the armrest on one side, and a pair of feet raised from the other side, hanging on the armrest. The person holding the mug walked over, bent down next to the throne, and poured the coffee. The cup was handed to the owner of the legs.

"Lord Judge." "Huh? Oh, thank you Hans." Vito took a sip of coffee, then nodded with a satisfied smile, "I can finally drink the coffee you made."

"I think it's better for Lieutenant Hans to go back and strive for excellence in his own job, right? Lieutenant Hans." Cole clasped his hands behind his back at the terminal in front and spoke with his back to the throne, "Although we are still in subspace. Navigation, but the weapon may need to be activated at any time, it is time for you to return to your station."

Hans glanced at Vito, who nodded, and then took another sip of coffee, "You are still so rigid, Cole, how are you and Anna recently?"

"Your mind is still as fast as before. I clearly remember that we were discussing the war at hand and the future of the empire just now, before you drank this cup of coffee."

"What's the point of always keeping such a straight face? I've lived for ten thousand years and watched the empire get worse step by step for ten thousand years. Believe me, it has no room for decline." Vito raised his coffee in greeting and said Cole smiled and tried the next step, "Would you like a drink? The coffee Hans makes is really good."

Cole turned to look at him, then sighed and leaned on the control terminal with his arms folded. Vito took a sip of coffee and smiled jokingly, "So what happened? Did you and Anna propose?" "

"No." "Not yet? How long has it been? How long has it been since you confessed your love to each other on Terra, in front of the Black Legion gang members, the entire Black Fleet, and the Imperial support fleet? Five years? "Five years and seven months." "Then why haven't you done anything? Just wait for Anna to lay her eggs."

Vito smiled and drew the "egg" in front of his face with his hands, with an expression on his face that he was not too bothered by the excitement, "And even if a real chicken lays an egg, it has to be done after a rooster and a hen."

"You're not talking about me, what about you? You guy, you were flirting with women before you became this bastard marshal. I don't even know how many women you have." Cole folded his arms and leaned on the terminal and shrugged, "Now What about Renata, Lilith and damn, you even picked up her sister? "Sarah." "There is also the female Phoenix Prophet." "I didn't pick her up. ”

Vito pointed at Cole with his coffee cup righteously, and then took a sip of coffee, "Who can fall in love with her? If so, then I can only wish that person good luck." "Are you so sure?" "You Just think about what a female version of me would be like without being as charming as me."

Cole thought for a while, his expression gradually became weird, "Okay, I understand, but how do you want to choose? I won't talk about your other women if I don't know them, but what about these three? Who do you want to choose? ? If you keep stepping on other boats like this, be careful that the Inquisition will kill you as a Chaos spy."

"I am the Inquisitor, or the Grand Inquisitor, who will kill me?" Vito twirled his fingers jokingly, and then took a sip of coffee. Cole showed a joking expression and pointed at Vito's waist and slung it across his body. Leaning on the gun on the throne, "If you don't adjust it, you can shoot yourself later."

After hearing this, Vito quickly adjusted the position of the trigger before it was knocked down by the corner of the throne. Cole folded his arms and leaned on the terminal and shrugged, "So? Who do you want to choose? I know you deserve to live. For a long time, you have dated countless women, but at least you only date one at a time, right? They are not the kind of women who are destined to be separated from you. "

"I said, Ragna and his people are all gone, right?" "You are really bad at changing the subject." "Didn't you say before that we were originally talking about important matters in the empire? Now, let's continue. ”

Vito turned his head away and pretended to look at the spiral texture on the coffee seriously. Cole looked at him and sighed helplessly, standing up with his hands spread out, "They are all gone, and most of our fleet, all Chapters are recalling their sub-groups."

"I guess the situation is bad." "Nonsense, of course it's bad. Almost all the founding war groups are recalling their troops. This can only mean that they have suffered huge losses." Cole frowned and looked aside with his arms folded. The rotating star map of the Milky Way, "I heard Ovia mention before that Star Language is full of chaotic content, pictures of destruction, and bad content."

"Did you know? Fenris was raided a while ago, by the Thousand Sons. Legend has it that Magnus also appeared." "That's why Logan recalled our battle group, and there are others, yes I I know." Vito leaned on the throne, crossed his legs, searched around as if he was still hungry, and quickly found an energy chocolate bar from inside his coat.

Vito pushed it away and took a few bites, then stretched out his hand to Cole, who waved his hand, "It's really not delicious, but it's not as delicious as Ezio's meal. When will dinner start? I don't know. hungry."

"Vito, can you stop being so jumpy?" "Then what do you want me to say? All battle groups have suffered heavy losses, so the empire is going to end?" Vito took a bite of the energy bar and mumbled while chewing Said, "The empire is ending every day. It's been like this since we opened our eyes in the morning. I don't think I'm unfounded here. Then things will change."

He took another bite, "Besides, isn't Guilliman back? And Lion, Sanguinius and the others, damn it, the last time Sanguinius saw me, he even asked me righteously if I wanted to scream. My father."

Vito smiled jokingly and pointed at Cole with the energy bar, "She's not my daughter, although if she was, oh, damn, maybe I could take care of a few others."

"How many others?" Cole asked in surprise, while Vito shrugged and took a few more bites of energy bars. "Okay, don't you want to talk about business? Just tell me."

Cole was silent for a moment, stared at him and then sighed and looked down. In the lower level of the bridge, Ragnar and Lancelot were wrestling with each other, surrounded by a group of crew members who were okay during the voyage. They gathered around the two of them and placed bets with each other. Now there was a pile of ration rolls and Sky Eagle coins piled on the table.

"Damn it." "Okay, don't worry about them. They are very boring when sailing. It's better to let them kill some time." Vito took a sip of coffee, and Cole leaned on the terminal and looked at the two space warriors. Frowning, "Why didn't they go back together?" "What?" "I said why did they stay."

Vito laughed jokingly, "Maybe they like us, and they are still theoretically members of the Death Watch and do not belong to their respective battle groups. Moreover, they are originally in their own battle groups and are not subject to any restrictions. Welcome to Death Watch, there are all such warriors there, you know."

"Just like you? Guilliman asked you to continue to sit on this ship to put out fires and cause trouble for some people as before." "Then you still drive the ship, yes, I guess everyone is not accepting it. The one who welcomes you." Vito smiled jokingly, then shrugged, and stretched on the throne. "Well, it's actually my own choice. Since the establishment of the Logistics Hall, Guilliman and I have been separated. This kind of power is intertwined. I don’t want to fight with him, and I don’t want to deal with those troublesome things. Since he is so active, I just leave it to the regent. "

Vito waved his hand, raised his two fingers and interlocked them, as if fighting, "And isn't Ryan back now? He is also thinking about the position of the Warmaster? Oh, I'm sorry, do you think the Warmaster is this? The word is unlucky?”

"It's okay. You said it yourself. We are unpopular aliens, so heretical words are nothing." "That's good. In short, that's it. Ryan is thinking about being the war commander, so I'd better give him the position. "Well, Lion is very vindictive, and I don't want to be remembered by him." "Besides, he and Guilliman still have to quarrel. I don't want to be their mother and father. Let Sanguinius handle it." He's very good at these things."

Cole watched Vito stretch, "So you become that Vito Constantine again and start wandering around the universe?" "And picking up girls, that's the most important thing, just take it easy Save the empire or something," Vito said jokingly, then turned sideways on the throne and pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge in front.

"Are we about to arrive?" Cole turned back and looked at the heavy bulletproof window in front, which covered the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the entire bridge, "Ana, are we about to arrive?" "You guessed it, Vito, Nono Butt, let the original owner of that seat sit on it.”

Anna said below, while Vito jumped up with a smile, patted his butt and stood beside the throne, making a gesture of invitation. Cole looked at him and rolled his eyes with a wry smile, then turned around and leaned against the terminal. On the armrest in front of him, he shouted to the group of people surrounding Ragnar and Lancelot below, "Okay, we've had enough fun, the rest time is over."

Ragnar suddenly broke off Lancelot's arm, raised his arms and cheered with the people behind him, while those on Lancelot's side waved their hands, muttered and left.

"Hahaha! You noob! They are all ours!" Ragnar laughed and swept away all the chips on the table, while Lancelot rubbed his shoulders and raised his middle finger. , "Don't leave after dinner if you can." "You two primary school students? Get up here."

Cole said, turning around and walking to the throne. Vito patted the table mat, then stepped aside with a smile, "Please, Captain Cole." "Get away, you are blocking the control panel."

Cole turned around and sat down. He crossed his legs and put his hands on the armrests, thinking about the buttons. Vito leaned on the back of the chair behind him, and Ragnar and Lancelot came up from the stairs. The former's A ring of threaded ration cards hung around his neck.

"Damn it, you look like a charlatan on the roadside practicing witchcraft." "Fuck you, I don't do witchcraft, Olaf does witchcraft!" "I'll be happy to tell him that. "Don't worry, how about I share half of it with you? It will be useful next time you go on a date with Lilith or Sarah, or both of you."

"Shut up, everyone, we're almost there." Cole said, clicking on the armrest, while Ragna smiled and stood aside with his arms folded, "Speaking of which, where are those two girls? I haven't seen them in a long time. "I miss them." "Don't think too much about other people's girls. Go find one yourself." "Who is this Caliban cat next to me? He's the most female-like here." , look at the long hair.”

Ragnar reached out to grab Lancelot's hair, but Lancelot opened his hand in disgust, "Fuck you, don't you have a long beard? It looks just like Tyron." "Beards belong to men. Do you understand? I'm so masculine. The girls will scream when they see it. "Then why haven't you got it yet? Are you counting on Vito?"

The two people were arguing behind the throne, while Vito leaned on the throne and glanced at the operation panel where Cole's finger was clicking. His finger gently hit the enter button, and soon the screen was locked, and the bulletproof window roared in front. Lifting it up, Anna straightened up underneath and looked outside.

The first ray of light came in. Anna squinted her eyes. She raised her hands to block her face. Several crew members on the seats around them turned their heads away and complained, "What's going on? Why is the light so bright? They put it The sun is on?"

"The sun is always on," the crew member on the side reminded warmly, "Shut up, I know."

"Damn it." Cole sat upright on the throne and looked at the universe outside, "They blew up the entire galaxy."

There were broken stars everywhere outside, and countless wreckage floating in dust clouds and in the sea of ​​​​fire after the sun collapsed. Ragnar and Lancelot looked at Vito on the side, and the latter looked at He leaned back for a moment, with a confused look on his face, "What do you think I'm doing? Before I fried Kakas, I just ate one pancake."

"Damn it, go to hell with your pancakes, Anna, let the Mechanicus exploration ship out." Cole stood up, walked quickly to the handrail, and looked at the debris in the sky outside after Anna started to order, "Damn it, did we miss it? What?" "A lot of things."
