Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation

  Chapter 523 New Cosmic War (for subscription)

  If Calgar participates in this grand ceremony.

   Then he must be qualified to stand beside the Holy Emperor.

  The honor of conquering a universe will be the most dazzling military medal in his long service career.

   It may also be the most glorious moment in his life.

   In the future, even if they have achieved the same achievements, they will no longer be treated like this.

  Unfortunately, at this time, he can only stay in the nutrition cabin, waiting for the completion of the fifth original casting upgrade.

   He was hurt so badly.

   Almost died.

   Being able to save him is already the result of the joint efforts of the Holy Emperor and the Great Sage.

   It took weeks for two of the most important figures in the Empire to piece Calgar's soul together.

   Implanted the fifth stage for him, the original casting technology that has not yet been perfected.

   Not being able to enjoy this grand ceremony is his punishment for being a commander but acting rashly as a commando.

  Sicarius' idea is also the idea of ​​the imperial army, and even many imperial bureaucrats.

   What a pity.

   As the commander-in-chief, Calgar should have been an important figure in this grand ceremony.

  Guilliman could hear the voices of his subordinates.

   But he didn't really care.

  This grand ceremony has already been prepared, and it may take years for Calgar to fully wake up.

   Waiting for him is impossible.

   The wheels of the empire are rolling forward, and it is impossible to stop because of such a thing.

   No matter who the empire is, it will not stop here.

   "The surrender of a universe is the greatest victory of this era." Guilliman's voice exploded in the ears of millions of people, and he did not use any amplification equipment.

   But let everyone hear his voice.

  Let them have the illusion that the Holy Emperor is talking to him right next to his ear.

   Even from countless light-years away, they could hear the voice of their king.

  Every human being is part of the Imperial network, a node.

   Guilliman is the core of this network.

  The living human beings, dead human beings, and unborn human beings are all connected through this invisible network, shaping human beings into a whole.

   Fundamentally eliminate the possibility of this race being corrupted and pulled into the abyss by external forces.

   This network allows Guilliman to communicate with every human being.

  He used a little trick of his own to make his voice more convincing.

   "It is also the victory of every human being in this era, and the unity of every empire's people. Don't think that this victory has nothing to do with you, and don't think that such a glorious victory is only related to those soldiers and those commanders."

Guilliman looked at everyone and said generously: "What I want to tell you is that it is not like that. Workers produced weapons and armor, farmers provided food, mothers gave their children, and everyone respected Contributions have been made to this war, and victory belongs to all, to the people of every empire."

"No one person can achieve such a victory alone. The extraordinary civilization that failed is a living example. Those guys have mastered the supreme power. They call themselves gods and the controllers of the world, but they failed in the end. They couldn't Victory over a united empire. We may be born small, but the unity of countless small people is also a powerful force that cannot be matched."

"These soldiers standing here, please accept my gratitude to you. It is your dedication and hard work that allows me to face those subjects who trust me. Those who have arrived here, or those who have not arrived here. The people of the empire , please also accept my thanks, it is your support and your trust that allowed me to dare to launch such a grand war and win."

   Guilliman's words brought tears to people's eyes.

   He never takes credit.

  Everyone knows who is doing the best.

   It was He who set sail from Macragge when the Empire was torn apart.

   It is He who tries his best to fight against those old ideas and opposition.

   It was He who tried his best to eliminate those incompetent dignitaries lying on the empire and sucking blood.

   It is He who demands that every citizen of the empire receive an education sufficient to enlighten them.

   It is He who endured the infamy and insisted on everything that is correct, and has the current result.

  It is He who takes the lead in fighting against Zerg, against Necrons, and against Chaos.

   It is He who maintains his original intention and strives to maintain a fair and just imperial system.

   It is He who has a far-sighted view and overcomes all opinions, so that mankind has such a victory.

  Now, He wants to thank those who are cared for and sheltered by Him.

"The battle of universe 04 was a perfect victory. With the unified efforts of the empire, we have obtained a universe that we can fully control." Guilliman paused, "But this is not the end, we will definitely Don't be proud and complacent, stop here. Never forget our ultimate great cause. One day, human beings will surpass all time, all so-called gods, and we will stand at the end of the ages, above all civilizations, and above the truth At the end of the road, we will create a truly good time, no more external threats, no more disgusting evil gods to tell us what to do."

"I know this will be a long journey for you, and many of you may spend your whole life without seeing the slightest sign of this great cause. But we will never give up before we succeed, and we will fight to the end a moment."

  Guilliman raised the Emperor's Sword, and the golden flame ignited at his will.

  His whole body is also glowing, and he no longer suppresses his own strength and aura.

  The whole person becomes bright and dazzling like the sun.

  With such a strong light, people do not feel the stinging of the eyes.

   On the contrary, there is a sense of comfort.

  They are part of this force, and when their bodies die and their souls return, they become part of the divine light.

   "Humanity will eventually win, mankind will go forward indomitably, and human beings will eventually surpass everything."

  Guilliman's roar resonated with the people.

  The army coincidentally roared in unison.

   Even the Titans roared through their sound generators.

   "Humanity will eventually win, mankind will go forward indomitably, and human beings will eventually surpass everything."

   "Humanity will eventually win, mankind will go forward indomitably, and human beings will eventually surpass everything."

   "Humanity will eventually win, mankind will go forward indomitably, and human beings will eventually surpass everything."

   Then the people also cheered.

  Whether it is the people in the audience stand or the people of the empire watching through the live broadcast equipment.

   They were all cheering.

   Humanity is united.

  Mankind will surely achieve all victories.

Fog.

"Watson, what do you think of this?" A man wearing a British-style windbreaker that hangs below his knees stood in front of a mansion. His eyes were hung with a monocular made of brass and lenses. By rotating the frame on the monocular, the degree of magnification can be adjusted.

   This is the favorite device of the people of the recently sprung steam machinery organization.

  The most peculiar thing is that this kind of glasses has been baptized by a special method, not only can magnify, but also can see some special things.

  The house is not big, with a small independent garden surrounded by low earth walls.

  The garden separates the house from the surrounding buildings and the street.

  There is a cobbled path from the garden gate to the house gate.

   There are some neglected flowers and plants planted.

   It looks limp, and it seems that it has not received fertilizer and water for a long time.

  The word Rent was written on the closed window.

   A brutal murder took place here.

  Several police officers wearing Holy Cross blessing badges are maintaining order.

   There are more than a dozen people who want to watch the excitement, stretching their necks and looking into the garden.

  An unlucky guy from other places was torn up, and it is said that the body was torn into seventy or eighty pieces.

  Bodies were scattered in the dusty room, which seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time.

  The dead man's head is placed on a dusty table.

  There is a line of words written on it lamely.

  For the ones I love.

"I only saw messy bloodstains and a few marks left by the battle." The man named Watson pointed to a place with scratches, "This kind of sharp marks belong to wild animals, I suspect the murderer is a A murderer who summons a beast, or a druid who can shapeshift."

  The man named Watson spoke.

  He looked refined and refined, wearing a decent waistcoat, and holding a cane in his hand, which is the favorite of gentlemen in the city of fog.

   Don’t underestimate this kind of cane, it’s usually filled with lead or simply made into a cane and sword.

  As the most prosperous city in the world, Wudu is not a peaceful place.

   Robbery and murder happened endlessly.

  Weapons that can protect themselves are still very important.

"After this period of study, you have finally mastered some fur. But you still have a lot of things you haven't observed. If you are a professional who can summon beasts, then there should be traces of summoning beasts on the ground, but here There are only human footprints. I checked the latest Summon Encyclopedia, and there are no summons in the lower body of humans, even if they are humanoid summons, their footprints are different from humans. "

   "It's even more impossible to transform into a druid. I can't even find a single hair. As we all know, no matter how clever a shapeshifter is, it is impossible to solve the problem of hair loss during transformation."

   "I just observed the corpses of the deceased scattered all over the place. His fingers were covered with mud and blood. Those scratches were probably scratched by himself."

   "Sherlock, this doesn't make sense. What about the scratches on his body?" Watson looked at the man with the monocular mechanical mirror and called out his name.

   "He caught it himself." Sherlock said, "This is suicide."

"Did the deceased go crazy? He ran to this abandoned house to commit suicide, and then wrote this sentence with his own blood. This is an obvious vendetta. If you say it is suicide, I will see what you say." Watson His voice raised significantly, and he felt that his IQ had been humiliated.

"There is no conflict between suicide and vendetta, right?" Sherlock tilted his head slightly, looked at his friend, and said in a flat tone: "As far as I know, there are thousands of ways to make people commit suicide , poison, witchcraft, etc. You have not done research in this field, so you naturally think it is unlikely, but it is the fact. I am not as good as you when it comes to treating patients, but you are far inferior to me when it comes to researching murder cases of."

  Sherlock walked over and picked up the head that was on the table.

  He took out a small transparent bag from his pocket.

   took some powder out of it and sprinkled it on top.

  White powder changes color quickly.

"The dead man's head exudes spiritual fluctuations that are different from ordinary people. It is obvious that he was controlled by some kind of manipulative witchcraft during his lifetime, but the central nervous system has not been obviously damaged, which shows that the murderer did not target his soul and his body. The brain just took away the control of his limbs, and this kind of method is usually used in massacres, so that the deceased will always feel the pain of being torn apart and the body is out of control."

"This type of homicide has occurred several times in other places, and I have checked those files. The local law enforcement agencies have finally ruled it as suicide, because this type of homicide has almost no solution for them. Even if you can use retrospective Witchcraft can only see that the dead are killing themselves."

"I extracted this powder from a special plant. They are very sensitive to supernatural power. As long as they come into contact with abnormal energy, they will change color. It stands to reason that a dead person, no matter how powerful he was in life, these supernatural powers will also Dissipated. But now it has been so long, but it can still be detected. It means that the owner of this power is not dead yet."

  Sherlock is the smartest detective in the fog city.

  He has solved many difficult cases.

  Many people think that murderers with supernatural powers are hard to catch.

  In fact, it is not the case. Many people are stupid even if they have supernatural powers.

  When they commit crimes, they will show all kinds of tellers and leave all kinds of clues.

  Sherlock has a lot of research on botany, geology, professional ability and other fields.

  In addition to this, he also intensively studied supernatural spells such as prophecy and spiritism.

  In many ordinary cases, he can see the criminal method at a glance, even if he uses supernatural power, it is difficult to hide it.

  The law enforcement officers in Wudu do not need a complete chain of evidence.

   Only need to get the motive of the murderer, and the criminal process, you can use these things to use prophecy and catch the criminal.

  After delivering his remarks, Sherlock invited the police officers who were maintaining order outside to come in, preparing to use spiritism.

  Spiritualism is not an advanced magic in today's society.

  Wizard Academy in Wudu will teach such spells.

  Witchcraft is the primary productive force for the development of this world.

  People are taught from childhood to learn how to use witchcraft.

  After the demonic invasion caused by the chaos of the gods, the Renaissance broke out in various countries, and the control of the Holy Cross over the countries declined rapidly.

  Britain took the lead in completing the witchcraft of the whole people, and its national power was greatly enhanced, becoming the most powerful empire.

  As the capital of England - Wudu has also ushered in rapid development.

  Sherlock grew up in this era.

  He completed his basic education with excellent grades and was admitted to the world's most famous Wudu College.

   Completed my studies here, and have already made a name for myself right after graduation.

  The reason is that he published a book on supernatural deduction theory, which introduced a lot of ways to use observation and other methods to analyze various supernatural cases, so as to catch the murderer.

  Sherlock also became a professor at Wudu College for this reason, and with him is Watson, a medical major who has been a good friend for many years.

   Watson stepped back a few steps.

   Leave room for the officers and Sherlock.

  The information obtained by spiritism is usually very messy.

   To be honest, the dead are not good communication partners.

  They are very much like some kind of hysterical patients, unable to give correct answers to the interrogators.

   It may also be that spiritism is not developed enough today.

  Detectives need to get the information they want from the ramblings of the undead, and at the same time combine their own inferences to find the murderer.

  Sherlock can be said to be familiar with the use of spiritism, and soon he finished the series of long, boring syllables.

  The temperature of the house dropped, and the air glowed with a luster that exceeded the laws of reality.

  A perfect channeling.

   Several other police officers just wanted to praise Sherlock's talent.

  The strange flame burned.

  A hollow, burning face appeared in the minds of the policeman and Sherlock.

   Vicious laughter and growls erupted.

   "Cherubel is coming, everywhere, devouring everything. Cherubel is going to devour your souls and chew your bones."

  This is not the scene that spiritism should have.

"No!"

  Sherlock hastily cut off the spell.

   This is a trap set by a demon, and anyone who uses necromancy will see its twisted appearance.

   Several police officers rolled on the ground, wailing in pain, and their facial features were bleeding.

  They were all very good talents in the past.

   Only in this way can you become a law enforcement officer in the fog city and enjoy various benefits in the fog city.

  Now, these carefully selected law enforcement officers screamed just because they saw the appearance of that demon.

   One can imagine how evil and distorted that face is.

  Sherlock also had lingering fears, but he did not admit defeat.

   "Whether it is a demon or a human, I will bring you to justice."

  A ship adorned with the Imperial double-headed eagle and the Inquisitor's personal emblem floats in the warp.

   "The breath of a defector has been detected."

  A mechanical priest implanted with many machines turned his head to look at the judge on the bridge - Vincenthorn.

  The empire's ship technology is becoming more and more mature.

   have been able to drift away from their home universe.

  Of course this kind of sailing away from the road is very dangerous.

   Only members of the insane Inquisition and Assassins do this.

   After completing the war to destroy the Eye of Terror, Vinsenhorn decided to fulfill his old oath to hunt down Cherubelle.

   This guy escaped during an intelligence espionage mission and has been missing for a long time.

   Vinsenhorn swore that Cherubelle would never be free.

  How could he just sit back and watch this guy escape from the empire!

   After getting permission, he set off to search for Cherubel.

  In order to successfully complete this task, he also brought along several demons who were betrayed by Cherubel and hated him so much.

   For example, Maca has countless knowledge.

  Vinsenhorn walked to the priest who spoke.

  Warspace is a magical place that doesn't follow any laws of physics.

  The knowledge and mysteries contained in it are endless.

  As long as they know the right way, people can find what they want to find in it.

   "Moving towards this goal." Vinsenhorn checked the data and finally determined a direction.

  If the prediction is correct, following the trail left by Cherubel, it is very likely that you will encounter a new universe.

  The Emperor Supreme.

   Under the auspices of Imperial Prime Minister Tyra LeBlanc, the grand ceremony ended perfectly.

  Guilliman summoned the expedition commanders in private, and encouraged and rewarded them again.

  At the same time, he discussed with Belisariu Kaul several times, planning to add a management department for time travelers, and preparing for targeted training of talents.

  This department will control the traversers who illegally smuggled into the universe of the empire.

  In addition, it is necessary to promote the cosmic gamification process that has been planned for a long time, further strengthen the value construction of the empire, and deeply optimize the selection mechanism of the imperial elite.

  Accelerate the industrialization of Universe 04 and obtain more resources to support Lion-Lion's upcoming cross-universe expedition and Dorne's transformation work in Universe 01.
