Chapter 128
In the surging Empyrean, a magnificent, sacred, huge ship carrying cathedral-like buildings was driving with difficulty like a lonely boat in the angry waves of the sea!
"Violent fluctuations detected!"
"Warning! If we don't sail out of the 'Mandeville Point' as soon as possible, we are highly likely to crash into a Warp storm!"
"Continue."
An old and vicissitudinous voice gave the order.
Resolute, and determined!
"Signs of Chaos invasion discovered in the lower cabin!"
"Let the boarding team solve it." The old man holding the table, wearing gorgeous noble attire, with white hair, eyes indifferent, remained unmoved: "Tell Charles... in special times, leave none, kill them all. I don't want any accidents to appear on the 'Sword of Redemption'!"
"Your order has been conveyed... Mr. Horn."
"But I sincerely suggest that you sail out of the Warp as soon as possible, otherwise, under the influence of the violent storm, we are highly likely to completely lose our way."
"I said... continue."
Horn's decision still did not change in the slightest.
The machine spirit of the "Sword of Redemption" was silent for half a second, then suggested coldly and mechanically: "Mr. Horn, you are the only person with the 'Valerius' bloodline. If any problem occurs with you, it will mean... this bloodline that has continued since the Great Crusade will be completely severed."
Horn was expressionless, turned his head to look at the position where the machine spirit was, and said indifferently: "Your words today... are exceptionally many. Who told you to say that."
"It is the High Lords of Terra, the Minister of the Administratum, the Fabricator General of Mars, and the representative of the Inquisition. The three councilors asked me to convey to you... the only bloodline possessor of Valerius should not risk going deep into the front line."
The machine spirit of the "Sword of Redemption" said truthfully.
There are twelve High Lords in total, served by the highest-ranking representatives of the human race, managing almost everything in the Empire in the name of the Emperor!
It can be said... since the Emperor sat on the Golden Wang Zuo ten thousand years ago, it has been the High Lords who have been controlling and desperately maintaining this "huge machine" that is almost rusted!
Every High Lord can be said to be powerful. Any money, bribery, etc., has no meaning for an existence of this status.
Even, many nobles, in order to see a High Lord, would not hesitate to pay a huge price, but failed to get their wish.
"Heh... do they really have such good intentions?" However, facing the "High Lords" whom ordinary people, and even most planetary governors, knight families, and other nobles, rarely see in their lifetime, Horn showed a thought-provoking disdain.
"Do you know..."
The old man rubbed his eyebrows as if tired, and said with a complex tone: "They are not worried about me, let alone 'Valerius'. They are just impatient... wanting to lie on the corpse of 'Valerius', greedily gnawing on flesh, squeezing bones and sucking marrow!"
"I can understand your mood, Mr. Horn."
The voice of the "Sword of Redemption" also seemed to be much lower.
It is the machine spirit of the "Sword of Redemption." Once the main bloodline of the "Valerius" dynasty is severed, it means... this Conqueror-class cruiser will completely lose its master!
No one can drive it again.
And losing the last "Conqueror-class cruiser," the "Valerius" dynasty will never have a chance to return to that black domain again.
"The Valerius dynasty... should not decline!"
Horn secretly clenched his fists, his tone low and determined, his eyes showing terrifying cold light: "I promise you, the great 'Valerius' Rogue Trader dynasty will never be severed, let alone... disappear!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
The short fifteen-day journey, in order to arrive as soon as possible, he forcibly ordered the spaceship to sail into the Warp again.
The terrifying Warp waves wrapped in the malice of Chaos, wanting to invade this spaceship at all times.
However, they were all blocked by the Geller field!
The boarding team filed into the lower deck, slaughtering the slaves, regardless of whether they were infected by Chaos, all eliminated, leaving no survivors!
"May the Emperor bless..."
Horn gripped the medal on his chest and prayed to the Lord of Humanity who was far away in Terra, deep in the Imperial Palace, on the Golden Wang Zuo: "Bless me, Horn Valerius, to be able to sail out of the Warp and find the successor of 'Valerius'!"
I don't know if his prayer really played a role.
The surging Warp storm actually calmed down a bit, and from the surging Chaos angry waves, a clear, safe, and stable route was suddenly opened!
"Mr. Horn... a safe route has been found, we are about to sail out of the 'Mandeville Point'!"
The next moment, the huge Conqueror-class cruiser, accompanied by violent vibrations, sailed out of the surging Empyrean!
Boom!
In the dark universe galaxy, the "Sword of Redemption" appeared!
And not far in front of the ship, it was the target planet of this trip, Loser Hive City!
"Mr. Horn, a contact has come!"
The machine spirit of the "Sword of Redemption" immediately restored the communication array, and then was immediately filled with dense information!
"Respected Master of the Valerius Rogue Trader Dynasty, Mr. Horn Valerius. I am the commander of the Cadian 6th Regiment, Roddy Kuhl, with eight full-strength companies under my command, ordered by the Lord General, and about to arrive at the Loser planet!"
"Respected Mr. Horn Valerius, I am the 2nd Company Captain of the 'Watchers' Chapter, Raymond Polian, ordered by the Chapter Master, and am heading to the Loser planet, in the name of the Emperor, to burn all heretics!"
"In the name of the God-Emperor, the 17th Legion of the Imperial Guard, ordered by the Departmento Munitorum, is heading to the Loser planet, estimated arrival time... seven days later!"
The rest of the information was basically screened out, and only the most important ones were broadcast by the machine spirit of the "Sword of Redemption."
But the information that was screened out did not mean it was not important, it was just too far away.
You know, with the energy of the Valerius dynasty, even if it has declined, it is still very amazing!
Even in the part of the information that was screened out, there were the Archmagos of the Dark Mechanicus, the Fabricator General of the Imperial Mechanicus, and a certain Chaos Astartes Chapter.
Of course, there was also a "special" message, but it was not broadcast directly.
Looking at that message, Horn was silent for a long time and did not reply.
"Prepare the drop pods!" Horn was like a tiger waking up, his eyes flashing with fierce light, staring at the barren planet, and said sharply: "Must find the target, at all costs!"
Alvin Valerius...
If you really inherited the bloodline of "Valerius," then survive.
Like the ancestors, the great founder of the "Valerius" dynasty, follow the Emperor to conquer the galaxy and burn endless heretics!
Re-enact... that miracle again!
Let the Valerius dynasty be great again!
