Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 56 War begins

The expedition's senior generals and officers gathered in the strategic hall of the Emperor's Grandeur.

Generals of the auxiliary forces, fleet commanders and captains, knights of the Knights' Court, high-ranking pilots of Titans, and envoys from surrendered galaxies.

They were seated around the command console according to their position.

Sitting in the front row were the Emperor and several commanders of the expeditionary force.

The Primarchs are in the back row.

They are still learning and are not qualified to take charge.

When everyone was present, the Emperor ordered the received message to be broadcast.

The projection machinery hummed and a tiny bright beam shot into the air.

Intertwined with each other, they outline a shining sphere.

A large amount of numbers and codes surged like a tide.

The holographic ball spread out and turned into a giant screen suspended in the air.

The screen was shaking, the picture was dim, and there were occasional sounds of rapid breathing and footsteps.

It was as if someone had turned on a video recording device while he was running.

In the distance, the piercing sound of laser guns cutting through the air could be heard, mixed with various shouts.

"You guys leave quickly."

"The first team stays here to intercept the enemy."

"Please, take me with you."

"For the Emperor, for the Empire."

"Humanity will win."

"They are coming and we have no way to escape."

The footsteps became less and less frequent. The people who were traveling together either stayed where they were to block the enemy and buy time, or ran away.

In the end, the person recording the video was the only one left.

The person recording the video ran into a cabin with communication equipment and immediately closed the explosion-proof door.

The sound of mechanical gears was heard, and the heavy explosion-proof door fell and was locked.

The person recording the video found a console and placed the device on it.

A male face with a robotic prosthesis appears in front of the camera.

The man was very nervous, his body shaking from excessive fear and intense exercise.

He straightened his appearance and stood up straight.

He made a Sky Eagle Salute gesture to the camera.

"Loyalty to the Emperor, loyalty to Mankind."

"This is a bloodbath, a war."

"They claimed they were from Comoros and that we were their target."

"The soldiers of the empire fought bravely, but they were no match for the enemy and were brutally slaughtered. Their bodies were also outrageously desecrated."

"Their methods are extremely cruel, like a group of twisted murderers."

At this moment, the sound of metal tearing was heard, and the enemy outside the cabin was trying to force the door open.

The man turned and looked towards the explosion-proof door, his voice filled with extreme fear.

“They know I’m here, and they’re coming.”

The man pulled out a pulse laser pistol and checked the batteries.

"I may be the last living person on the Starry Hope. The battle fleet has collapsed and has fallen prey to the enemy."

"I heard that several starships escaped into the galaxy. Maybe there are survivors."

"Which fleet receives this message? Please come and rescue the survivors or put an end to the madness here."

boom!
A loud voice sounded.

The heavy explosion-proof door was cut open abruptly.

Several tall Eldar warriors, wearing streamlined black armor, with scarlet cloaks on their backs and holding sharp long blades, walked in.

Even if it's just a video, people can feel the bloodiness and cruelty emanating from these Eldar warriors.

"Go to hell." The man suppressed his fear and shot the aliens with a gun.

But the opponent's speed was astonishingly fast.

Lasers as red as rubies streaked through the air, but were all dodged.

Strange laughter echoed in the cabin.

The Dark Eldar warriors laughed at the man's stupidity.

Swish!
The cold sound of a knife rang out in the dim cabin.

The man's gun-holding hand was severed, blood splattered, and the severed arm and gun fell to the ground.

The man howled in pain, and was then grabbed by the Eldar warriors.

The last segment of the video becomes blurry and intermittent.

Jumping between frames.

Men were viciously tortured and skinned alive.

The skinless, blood-red body was bound with barbed chains and hung upside down.

Those dark elves treated him as a plaything and tortured him in the most vicious ways.

The video begins to speed up and the man keeps screaming.

After several hours, the man's voice disappeared and he died completely.

The video ends and the screen falls into darkness.

Such brutal atrocities shocked and angered everyone involved in the meeting.

Koz also revealed a complex and ambiguous meaning.

Witnessing such a bloody and cruel scene gave him a better understanding of how to use fear.

The screen is turned off.

"This is the last information we received."

The intelligence director, who had a large number of metal prosthetics, a bloated body, and several suspended skulls attached to his back, walked to the projection table.

The projection screen lit up again and turned into a galaxy strategic map.

"The source of the message is the Antimon Galaxy, which is a standard single star system."

"During the Golden Age it was an interstellar trade hub, with commerce and trade thriving."

"After the advent of the Age of Strife, the Antimon Galaxy was fought over by many forces and turned into a wasteland."

"But according to the intelligence previously provided by Battleship Group No. 31, there are still many humans struggling to survive in the wasteland."

"Fleet Group 31 was probably attacked by the Dark Eldar when it was trying to retake the Antimon system."

"The survivors may be trapped in the galaxy and unable to send a distress message. At least so far, no other distress messages have been received."

"."

The intelligence chief explained in detail the intelligence about the Antimon galaxy to everyone participating in the meeting.

The emperor came out only after people understood the situation.

He didn't need any amplification device to make his voice reach the remotest corner of the hall so that everyone could hear his words.

When he spoke, everyone listened quietly.

"Such crimes cannot be tolerated. No matter who the enemy is, no matter how powerful they are, as long as they regard humans as prey and as targets to be slaughtered at will, they will have to pay the price."

"The expeditionary fleet abandoned the original plan and headed to the Antimon system to rescue the survivors and wipe out the dark Eldar."

"Terra will also discuss a new bill that will list the Dark Eldar as one of the great enemies that humans must destroy."

"In this galaxy, no race that threatens humanity will be allowed to exist. If there is one, let it be reduced to ashes in the flames of war."

"Return your troops and prepare for battle." The Emperor raised his fist. "We will make them pay with blood."

The crowd was in a frenzy.

When the emperor raised his fist and shouted, they also raised their arms and shouted, demanding that the enemy pay with blood.

The Primarchs also expressed excitement and anticipation.

The fighting spirit in his eyes turned into flames, burning fiercely.

Lion and Horus looked at each other, both revealing their competitive spirit.

Be prepared to overwhelm your opponent with excellent performance in this battle and prove that you are the best.

The raven standing on the Emperor's shoulder also shouted excitedly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Cut! Cut! Cut! Let's invade Comoros, whip those black bean sprouts with whips, and send them to the ice world to grow potatoes."

"Big guy, we have to let Coze take the lead."

"We want to let those black bean sprouts know what real fear is."

"Koz, you're going to make those bloody people cry like a fart monster whose toes were stepped on."

Emperor: “.”

Waldo: "."

This is the slogan!
Why does it smell wrong?

Koz was also speechless.

This raven knows how to make the best use of its resources and fight back!

PS: Feel the fear, midnight has come

Curze: "I wonder who is stronger, me or the Bloody Man?"
