MTL - Warhammer Inquisitor-Chapter 557 Lion Rise: Air Rescue

  Chapter 557 Rise of the Lion King: Air Rescue

The roaring propeller whizzed through the sky, pushing the huge fuselage to pass over the chaotic city. The airflow driven by it swept the raging fire and heat waves on the surface, rising upwards, and hitting Vito's face superior.

He was sitting on the edge of the cabin door, wearing earphones on his head, holding onto the armrest by the cabin door with one hand, and looking sideways at the burning city below. , lighting up Vito's face, and the Loken and Serksos brothers who were bending over and crouching in the cabin behind them.

The noise in the cabin is deafening. Unlike the aircraft of the Tau race, human flying units adopt the traditional structure of flying in the atmosphere. The sound of the engine can be called thunder. You can’t hear each other clearly even if you only shout with your mouth. Words, so, all wearing headphones, including the pilot.

"Sir, we can't find their location. There are flames everywhere." The driver's voice came from the earphones, accompanied by the sound of propellers roaring in the background. Looking around at a high altitude, he soon discovered the signal smoke rising from the city in the distance.

The smoke formed a stark contrast with the surrounding black smoke, and reflected light under the firelight, like a guiding light in the dark. It was the standard emergency signal smoke of the Star Militia Army, and considering that there are currently no stars in the city. The activities of the border army units can only be carried out by a group of people.

"Captain, I found them, three o'clock direction." Vito grabbed the armrest above his head with one hand, squatted up and leaned against the cabin door to support the headset and shouted loudly, his voice was overwhelmed by the roar of the propeller above his head The forced release was very loud, but the captain could clearly hear, "I see, we are heading." The pilot responded, and the helicopter immediately began to turn, and it flew in the direction of the rising signal smoke, flashing In the dim red sky, they were not the only aircraft heading there.

A floating car appeared next to the helicopter without a sound. Vito leaned against the hatch, holding on to the handrails to stabilize his body in the strong wind. Looking at the orange floating car, it was like a night The ghost in the air flies soundlessly, in stark contrast to the roaring gunship.

It was the shuttle of the Tau tribe. It floated in the air and was accompanied by the magnetic force on one side of the helicopter. Vito looked at him, and Loken and Serksos behind him also bent down to look at it. Maybe the other party's The crew was also looking at them, but the floating ship had no windows, so the two sides couldn't look at each other, but at least, neither side was hostile.

The floating car accelerated forward and flew over. Vito leaned on the hatch and looked at it. The floating car was also flying towards the direction of the signal smoke. It was already very close, and it seemed that it would arrive first. Weito Tor turned on the headset, "Captain, speed up, we can't let the Tau take our people away."

Before Vito finished speaking, there was an explosion in front of him. It seemed that he didn't need to worry about being overtaken by his helicopter, because the Tau's floating vehicle exploded, and it was hit by something. It exploded violently, and then fell into the sky with billowing smoke.

Vito looked at the fireballs exploding on the ground in surprise, and then looked around, the captain also shouted, "Who shot them down?" Vito looked around, his eyes scanned the dark night sky, and suddenly his eyes widened Pointing to a direction, "RPG!"

In the direction of the high-rise building below the helicopter, a rocket flew over with flames. It pulled out a long white smoke and flew towards the helicopter in a meandering manner. Maneuver, dodge the incoming missile.

The inside of the cabin was thrown to the wall on the other side under the side roll. Only Vito stood by the cabin door, holding on to the handrail. He straightened up and looked at the source of the rocket smoke, and then saw A rising missile, "Five o'clock direction! Second shot!"

The helicopter quickly maneuvered again. It dodged to one side, avoiding another missile, but soon, a rocket was fired from a tall building in the other direction, and it roared towards the tail of the helicopter. Come, but quickly, the end of the helicopter fired a series of heat-inducing bombs, and they spread out in all directions, like a goddess spreading flowers, which also caused the rocket to lose its direction and detonate in the air.

"Where are they? Eleven o'clock, high-rise building at an acute angle." Vito stood outside the cabin, half of his body shot out and pointed at the distant building. And hoarse, but soon, he expressed his meaning with practical actions.

The helicopter turned its head, and the tail blades turned quickly, allowing the bomb bays hanging on both sides of the helicopter to turn successfully. Immediately, they fired a series of bright missiles. Let half of the building explode completely, and the superstructure collapsed and fell into the sky.

   "Threats are eliminated." The captain's voice said, Vito lifted the headset and nodded, "Got it, pay attention to observe, and move on." "Copy it, it's over."

The captain pressed several rows of buttons around the board and held the joystick in his hand to lower the helicopter. It landed from the air and flew down. After passing through the gap between two tall buildings at low altitude, a tail flick stopped. On the garden between the office buildings, it looks like a work park, with this open lawn in the middle, but the old trees and statues have collapsed and crumbled.

On the grass, a Valhalla soldier was holding a signal stick that was ignited and smoked violently, and waved the stick in his hand to indicate the landing position for the landing helicopter. The blow was overwhelmed, but soon, with the skilled cooperation, the helicopter's wheels landed on the grass.

Vito sat on the edge of the cabin, and soon saw a group of people standing on the blazing grass, surrounded by the accompanying guards, Valhalla people holding guns around the border, only a few people standing on the grass , and Vito recognized their faces immediately, "Commissar Kane, Colonel Castine, nice to meet you, are those from the Tau tribe?"

"Nice to meet you too, Vito." Kane pressed the political commissar hat on top of his head so as not to be blown away by the propeller, he shouted loudly under the helicopter that was still on, pointing to several A blue-skinned Tau, "They're the rest of the embassy, ​​and they're all here."

"The ambassador is dead, right?" Vito took off the earphones and hung them around his neck and yelled, Kane heard his words after approaching him, and responded with a loud voice, "Yes, he died, an accident. ""It seems that you can't tell for a while, right?" "Yes, we'd better hurry up, there are guns everywhere."

Vito nodded, stood up and greeted the people on the lawn, "Get on the helicopter! We don't have time to linger." He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Commissar Kane up, and then Castine carried a gun on his back. She bent over and ran up against the strong wind from the propeller, her red hair danced in the strong wind, Vito bent down and pulled her up.

Then came other people, first the Tau people, the first one of them who came here seemed to have no interest in Vito, just glared at him, shook off his hand and crawled in by himself, but the people behind him The Tau, who seemed much more kind, stretched out his hand with only four fingers, and let Vito grab it.

"Sorry, that's Il Solas, he's in a bad mood." "Understood, come up." Vito shouted and pulled him up, followed by several other Tau, but in their Vito didn't recognize the people after that. They were a few humans. Seeing that Vito was confused, Kane squatted behind him and yelled in his ear, "People from the Governor's Mansion! There are more."

"Governor! Yes, I can see it." Vito looked at the man who grabbed his hand and desperately climbed onto the helicopter, but couldn't climb up due to his weight. Finally, the surrounding Valhallan people couldn't stand it anymore and turned their backs Shanggun ran up and pushed it up, and then he lay on the floor of the cabin and climbed in.

Vito glanced at him with a grin, then turned around and pulled another person from the Governor's Mansion, and then turned to the captain of the Valhalla soldiers, "Sorry, Commander, we have to pick you up in the next shift, that guy, one There are only four people."

"It's okay, sir, send the political commissar and the others back, we will stand by here and wait for help." Commander Valhalla shouted and turned around and ran away. He pressed the beret on his head, and after running a few steps towards the The pilot at the nose gestured, the latter looked at him and nodded, and then flipped the switch, the helicopter propeller turned vigorously, setting off the airflow and allowing them to fly.

Vito leaned against the side of the cabin, looking at the Valhallan people on the ground. He saluted Vito with his gun on his back. The latter also grabbed the armrest and saluted him with one hand, and then leaned back to the cabin , sat next to Kane, and yelled in his ear, "It looks like you have quite a few new friends."

"Yes! This is Brody, a diplomat from the Ministry of Government Affairs!" Kane pointed his eyes at a person with gray hair in the cabin. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to Vito, "Fortunately." Yes! Glad you're here!" "Me too, this diplomacy isn't going well, is it?"

Vito shook his hand, then looked at the next person, who was sitting next to the diplomat, "This is?" Kane yelled loudly, "Rex! The Tau translator And consultants, but also the merchants who work with them!"

"The common language of the Tau people isn't very good, is it?" Vito smiled and reached out to shake Rex's hand. The latter squatted down and bent closer to him with a smile, "It's not good enough! So you brought me here." "But you do business with them pretty well, right? What business do you do?" "Crafts! Small technological things from the Tau tribe are very popular." "It must be selling well. Is it the kind that can kill people?"

Vito shook his hand and yelled, laughing over the roar of the propellers overhead, but the translator and businessman laughed, "It's all small things!" "Small things can kill, but good business Prosperity." "I wish you too, sir!"

Rex let go of Vito's hand and sat back, and Vito also leaned back to the left, clutching the armrest on one side, and leaned close to Kane's ear, "Can you contact the regiment headquarters?" "No! It started a few minutes ago , All the lines are cut off! Someone is interfering with our communication!"

Kane yelled loudly into Vito's ear, then glanced at Castine, who was sitting beside Jurgen, wearing the earphones hanging above her head, and seemed to be asking about something loudly, but Kane lost his hearing, and then he approached Vito and yelled, "She's worried about the situation in the regiment!" "Then she's a good regiment leader, don't worry, we'll send you back!"

Vito said with a smile, suddenly the whole helicopter shook, it swayed from side to side in the air, making people in the cabin completely unsteady, and as it swayed around, Vito stood up holding the armrest, He held on to the thing tightly, leaned out of the door, and saw a rocket fly up.

  The helicopter maneuvered again, and fired a series of heat-inducing bombs from the tail. The flames of the explosion exploded outside the cabin, instantly illuminating Vito's face. He put on his earphones and yelled into the headset, "Captain! What's going on?!"

"We are under attack!" he shouted, and the helicopter made an emergency maneuver again to avoid a rocket. Vito grabbed the handle on the side of the cabin with one hand, and most of his body jumped out to look at the building below. Another rocket was fired, and the helicopter quickly fired a jamming bomb, causing it to fly and explode.

"The decoy shells are all gone!" the captain roared, the strong wind blew on Vito's face from outside the cabin door, he stood outside holding the handle, watching the helicopter turn around and fire violently at a building. The machine gun on the head aimed at the floors of the building and fired, and the fluorescent bullets hit and swept through the glass, and the fragments flew horizontally, exploding everywhere.

  The missile flew out from under Vito's feet, and hit the middle of the building, and then a rapid explosion sounded, blowing out glass and debris, and the whole building staggered and toppled to one side.

Vito looked at the destroyed building. Suddenly, there was an explosion under his feet. He lowered his head and saw that the weapon hanger under his feet was ignited. A series of ammunition was fired. He lowered his head and looked at A heavy machine gun on the roof of the building below was aiming at the helicopter overhead and firing violently.

   "The ammunition rack is on fire! Throw it down immediately!" Vito yelled into the headset with a loud voice, and the ammunition rack that had been ignited under his feet was also thrown down immediately, and exploded in the air, setting off a burst of fire in the air.

Vito stood at the cabin door, raised his hand to block in front of him, and several rounds of heavy machine gun bullets hit the surrounding fuselage, one of which even hit the fan blade of the tail, instantly making the whole helicopter unbalanced in the air. When it turned, the people in the cabin were thrown left and right. Vito firmly grasped the handle and stood outside.

"Captain! Can you control the helicopter?" He yelled into the headset, and there was a vigorous response from the other side, and the control lever creaked under the violent pull, "Yes! But you can't be hit again Guns! But our weapons are gone!"

"I'll take care of it, and you just fly." Vito said, taking off the earphones, and looking at Loken behind him, "Loken! Give me your gun!" "Sir, you are just a mortal now, use it Yes." "I didn't let you talk nonsense! Give me the gun! At least my marksmanship has always been better than yours."

Vito roared, Loken didn't resist any more, he pulled out his own bolter and handed it to Vito, the long gun shot across the entire cabin, the passengers sitting on both sides raised their hands, The big gun was lifted from in front of him, and Kane finally handed it to Vito.

After the latter caught the bolt gun, he shook his head at Kane, "Help me mount the gun!" Vito yelled, and Kane immediately got up and went to the gun, and he carried the gun body on his shoulders. On his shoulders, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the armrests on both sides. Behind him, Vito stepped back a few steps, leaned into the end of the gun body in the cabin, and aimed at the front sight.

The helicopter was spinning rapidly in the air. Kane was holding on to the armrests on both sides, shaking from side to side but struggling to stabilize himself. Vito put the bolt gun on his shoulder, pressing his whole palm on the Pulled the trigger, staring at the outside in front of the scope.

The helicopter swayed quickly, and was suddenly straightened under the yank of the captain. The tail of the aircraft was thrown backwards, and the side door of the cabin was also thrown up instantly to aim at the building where the heavy machine gun was located. The people below saw the gun He also saw Kane leaning on the hatch with his gun pointed at his head, and Vito holding a gun behind him.

In a blink of an eye, Vito slammed the trigger, and the explosive bomb was fired with the front sight aligned. The bullet was shot out from the muzzle with flames, and it illuminated the faces of Kane and Vito. The bullet flew down and hit the ammunition box on the side of the heavy machine gun on the roof.

Suddenly, the roof of the entire building exploded instantly, and raging flames rose up, illuminating the side of the entire helicopter. Looking at the flaming roof, Kane was relieved, and his hands suddenly became soft because of the beating of the muzzle of the previous gun. Afterwards, he was pulled back into the cockpit by Vito, and he slumped in his seat all of a sudden.

Vito also sighed, and leaned the bolter against the edge of the seat, then sat back on the seat, leaning against Kane, and put on the earphones again, "Captain, take us back .”

"Understood, sir." The captain responded, pulled up the joystick and flew towards the dawn skyline, Vito leaned against the door, watching the rising red sun, the sun shining on his face , bathing it in the light, Vito closed his eyes and sighed deeply, and fell into a deep sleep.
