Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 23 The Power of the Empire

It wasn't long before humans put down the Iron Man's rebellion.

A horrible storm arose in the subspace.

The faster-than-light channel was cut off.

Therefore, warp travel has become extremely dangerous.

All ships attempting the jump were lost.

Human civilization was torn apart and many colonies were isolated.

The Petacanas system is no exception.

It is isolated in the vast sea of ​​stars and cannot contact any galaxy.

The messages sent to other galaxies also fell into the sea and there was no response.

Occasionally, news would be brought back from the exploring fleet, but it was always bad news.

The number of mutants and feral psykers has increased dramatically, causing social unrest.

For the sake of social stability, the local government decided to suppress these unstable factors.

But there is strong opposition from the public.

As the crackdown unfolded, protest marches broke out in cities one after another.

Various human rights organizations have come forward, demanding that the authorities respect mutants and wild psychics and not convict them at will.

In order to win votes, some congressmen chose to speak up for mutants and wild psykers.

Claiming that they are also human beings, compatriots and need to be respected.

In this way, the Petacanas galaxy lost the best window to stabilize the situation.

As the Warp Storm intensified, mutants and feral psykers were found having difficulty controlling their powers.

There is no way to fight against the evil demons in the subspace who are lurking there.

They all became containers for those terrible monsters.

Nightmarish visions erode reality like ash from an erupting volcano.

Evil light flickers in the darkness, and foul things lurk behind the curtains.

Slobbering fangs and hideous compound eyes peer into reality.

By the time people realized the terrible threat posed by mutants and wild psykers and urged the government to take action, it was too late.

Terrorist and supernatural events frequently break out all over the world, and social order is on the verge of collapse.

During this time of chaos, one man was blessed by the daemons of the Warp.

He calls himself the ancestor of the blood clan, and has gained the ability to control dark blood magic and possesses a unique transformation ability.

Able to transform ordinary people into vampires with long lifespans and the ability to control dark magic.

This unique transformation attracted many senior executives, who privately pledged allegiance to the other party in exchange for the qualification to be converted.

The blood clan rose rapidly and became the most powerful force in Petacanas.

The planetary government once tried to wipe out the vampires, but failed because a traitor betrayed military secrets and suffered heavy casualties.

By this point, the military was no longer able to contain mutants and wild psykers.

The government also appears to be crumbling in the face of the impact.

When the planet governor was skinned and bloody, he appeared in front of the public.

The prestige of the planetary government completely collapsed.

The whole world entered an era of chaos.

Eventually, most cities became paradises for monsters.

Space cities in low-Earth orbit lasted the longest and resisted the most fiercely.

But under the attack of the vampires and those monsters, they finally fell.

Most of the space city's residents were massacred.

The warning message sent by the satellite in orbit was left behind at that time.

To prevent humans from making a comeback and threatening themselves again.

The vampires completely blocked human technology, causing the world's technological level to regress to the Middle Ages.

Later, problems arose one after another in various systems of the space city.

The vampires did not know how to repair them, so they chose to abandon these space cities and retreat to the ground.

Lucina told him everything she knew.

Even the affairs of the resistance army were not concealed.

Under the leadership of the cursed, humans have been resisting the rule of the vampires.

The vampires control dark blood magic, and only the cursed are immune to their dark blood magic.

Therefore, the leaders of the resistance army are all cursed people.

Lucina fell into the hands of the vampires because she was betrayed when she was promoting the resistance organization.

After learning why the world became what it is today, the Emperor asked another question.

"The warp storm has subsided, so why is there still such a strong etheric force left in this world?"

Lucina shook her head. "I don't know, but I can introduce you to the wise men and leaders of the resistance who may be able to answer your questions."

The Emperor did not refuse this proposal. With the help of the other party, the Emperor soon met the so-called leader of the rebels and the wise man.

There is a female untouchable who is stronger than men and looks like a berserker, and a tall and thin wizard.

Due to the long-term suppression of the vampires, the resistance army did not have a systematic command.

The rebels in each region have their own leaders.

They each fight their own battles, with the liberation of humanity as their highest mission. They can be said to be a group of very noble people.

"Nice to meet you, stranger. My name is Veronica."

The Rebel leader saluted the Emperor and introduced himself.

"I am the Lord of the Human Empire, and I have come to save this world. The rule of those monsters will soon end, and the people of this world will usher in a glorious future."

The emperor introduced himself in a humble and polite manner.

He then demanded that all the rebel fighters, including Veronica, swear allegiance to him.

"We only pledge our loyalty to the true savior." Veronica said, "Unless you can truly defeat the ancestor of the blood clan, you will not gain our loyalty."

"This is not difficult," said the Emperor.

"Then prove it to us." Veronica said, "When you chop off the head of the vampire ancestor and end the bloody rule of the vampires, the world will be loyal to you."

"I will." The Emperor said, "Before we start the war, can you tell me why the power of the ether in this world is so strong?"

Veronica didn't know the answer to the Emperor's question.

But the wizards around her have done some research on this matter.

"The reason why the ether power of this world has not subsided for a long time may be due to the work of the ancestor of the blood clan."

"I had the honor to scout the palace of the vampire ancestor with other wizards of the resistance army. There is a strong dark power there."

"He must have reached an agreement with those terrifying creatures. He offers sacrifices every once in a while, using the death and despair of the sacrifices to satisfy the hunger of those evil creatures and maintain his rule."

"Only by killing the ancestor of the blood clan and expelling the evil demon who blessed him can the world return to its original peace."

Just as the Emperor was about to ask more about the blood clan ancestor, a rebel soldier hurried over and reported an extremely urgent matter.

"The blood clan that rules this area, Baron White, is coming here with many blood clan members, intending to kill all the rebels and maintain the blood clan's rule."

The news caused panic.

"Let's evacuate first. Facing the vampire army, we have no hope of winning." Veronica said.

"Perhaps you should witness the might of the empire. Then you will know how lucky you are to join the empire."

Far from being afraid, the Emperor graciously invited Veronica and other rebel leaders to a high ground to let them see how the Empire won.

The high ground is in a great location, allowing for a good view of the entire battlefield.

The blood clan army is mighty, with flying flags and sophisticated weapons.

Some of them flapped their wings and flew in the air.

When the rebel leaders such as Veronica saw the vampire army, they turned pale with fright.

Just as they were considering whether to turn around and flee, the golden warriors following the Emperor entered the battlefield.

The golden-armored warriors were so dazzling that just one look at them would make everything around them pale in comparison.

This is not a war, but a massacre, a crushing massacre.

Twenty golden-armored warriors swept across, holding halberds covered in electric current.

Kill all the vampire soldiers that blocked your path like mowing the grass, chopping them into pieces.

Tireless, like a perpetual motion machine.

With one leap, he could reach hundreds of meters and could even stay in the air for a short time.

The winged vampires fell like raindrops, and soon piled up into a small hill on the ground.

Veronica and others could not count how many vampires were killed, nor could they see the killing process clearly.

It's too fast.

When the war ended, the blood clan army with flags flying turned into piles of broken corpses.

The pungent smell of blood permeated the entire battlefield.

The tattered vampire flag was burning, emitting puffs of black smoke.

The Viscount White stood in the center of the battlefield with his head pierced by a spear.

The pale face showed an elusive fear.

The emperor looked at Veronica and the others and smiled.

"This is the power of the Empire."

Raven added the voiceover on the side.

"Hehehe, mortals, surrender."
