八版圣典節(jié)譯:黑色圣堂大元帥——赫爾布萊切特
High Marshal Helbrecht exemplifies the qualities of stubbornness, personal honour and unswerving loyalty to the Emperor that are the hallmarks of the Black Templars. His rise through the Chapter was swift, his desire to slay the enemies of the Emperor impressing his peers with its sheer ferocity. Even as an Initiate, Helbrecht fought with zeal and courage beyond expectations, holding the line against a vast swarm of Tyranids at Deathcore Ridge, refusing to yield whilst there yet remained a foe to fight. Helbrecht was inducted into the Sword Brethren just a few short decades later for the legendary feat of besting a Daemon Prince with only his combat blade. After this, his meteoric ascension continued apace, paved at every step with the deaths of the Emperor's most fearsome enemies. When High Marshal Kordhel was slain by a frenzied Berzerker, the Marshals of the Black Templars gathered to choose a new leader for their Chapter. Helbrecht was elected unanimously and presented with the Sword of the High Marshals.?
大元帥赫爾布萊切特代表了黑色圣堂戰(zhàn)團的特質(zhì):執(zhí)著、(重視)個人榮譽和對帝皇矢志不渝的忠誠。他在戰(zhàn)團中的晉升速度很快,他屠戮帝皇之?dāng)车挠云浼兇獾膬礆垼ǔ潭龋┝钔艂冇∠笊羁?。哪怕是在作為一名新徒時,赫爾布萊切特也是以超出預(yù)計的狂熱和勇氣進行戰(zhàn)斗,他在死核山谷對抗過一支龐大的泰倫蟲群,不屈不撓地戰(zhàn)勝了所有敵人。而在短短幾十年之后,赫爾布萊切特僅因為只用戰(zhàn)斗刀便擊敗了一名惡魔王子的傳奇壯舉被接納進入了長劍兄弟會。在此之后,他繼續(xù)快速得到晉升,而且每一步都是踏著帝皇最可怕敵人們的尸體。當(dāng)大元帥科德爾被一名瘋狂的恐虐狂戰(zhàn)士所殺時,黑色圣堂的元帥們聚集起來為戰(zhàn)團選出一位新的領(lǐng)袖。赫爾布萊切特受到了一致推舉,并被授予了大元帥之劍。

According to tradition, Helbrecht soon after declared a crusade, choosing as his target the xenos-haunted Ghoul Stars, a desolate region of space from which no prior expedition had returned. Within eight years, the Black Templars had cleansed the outlying systems; the enemy were unable to withstand the zeal of Helbrecht's assaulting forces, and entire worlds burned in his wake. No sooner had Helbrecht left a titanic pyre burning on the xenos home world than a desperate call for help came from the besieged world of Armageddon, telling of the return of the Ork Warlord, Ghazghkull Thraka. Helbrecht did not hesitate in declaring a new crusade, swearing a mighty oath to personally slay Ghazghkull and rid the Imperium of the most dangerous Ork Warlord to have ever lived.?
根據(jù)傳統(tǒng),赫爾布萊切特在不久之后便宣布要進行一次遠(yuǎn)征,目標(biāo)選在了飽受異形糾纏的食尸鬼群星——之前還沒有哪支探險隊從這片荒涼的太空區(qū)域回來過。在八年的時間里,黑色圣堂清理了這些邊遠(yuǎn)的恒星系;敵人們無法抵擋赫爾布萊切特麾下進攻部隊的狂熱,遠(yuǎn)征軍的身后留下了被焚滅的完整世界們。而就在赫爾布萊切特于異形的母星上留下一個熊熊燃燒的巨大柴薪堆之后不久,被圍困的阿瑪吉頓世界便發(fā)來了一條絕望的呼救信號,其內(nèi)容聲稱獸人軍閥碎骨者薩拉卡卷土重來。赫爾布萊切特毫不猶豫地宣布要進行一次新的遠(yuǎn)征,他發(fā)下宏誓,宣稱自己要親自斬殺碎骨者,為帝國除掉這名史上最強的獸人軍閥。


Upon arrival in the besieged Armageddon System, Helbrecht assumed command over the assembled Adeptus Astartes vessels, his superior experience of void combat making him the natural choice to command the Space Marines fleet. The war in space was bitterly fought, with Helbrecht leading many storming actions aboard Ork Kroozers, stemming the tide of greenskin reinforcements from reaching the planet below. Ghazghkull's flagship retreated from Armageddon shortly thereafter, despite the Imperial Fleet's efforts to stop it from entering warp space. Helbrecht vowed Ghazghkull would not escape his vengeance even if he had to pursue the Ork Warlord across the length of the galaxy - a vow he intends to one day fulfil. Though he since suffered a stinging defeat at the hands of the Stormlord Imotekh, Helbrecht has already exacted vengeance, and now patrols the stars anew.?
一經(jīng)抵達被圍困的阿瑪吉頓星系,赫爾布萊切特便接管了集結(jié)起來的阿斯塔特修會艦船們的指揮權(quán),他在虛空戰(zhàn)方面的卓越經(jīng)驗使他成為了指揮星際戰(zhàn)士艦隊的自然人選。這是一場艱苦的太空戰(zhàn)斗,赫爾布萊切特率領(lǐng)星際戰(zhàn)士們對獸人巡洋艦們進行了很多次風(fēng)暴般的跳幫行動,阻止綠皮的增援部隊抵達下方的星球。盡管帝國艦隊努力阻止其進入亞空間,但不久之后碎骨者的旗艦還是從阿瑪吉頓撤退了。赫爾布萊切特發(fā)誓:那怕是要穿越整個銀河來追捕這名獸人軍閥,他也不會讓碎骨者從自己的復(fù)仇中逃脫——總有一天,他會實現(xiàn)自己的誓言。盡管他后來也曾慘敗于風(fēng)暴王依莫提克之手,但赫爾布萊切特已經(jīng)進行過了復(fù)仇,他現(xiàn)在重新巡視于群星之間。
