Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire.

Chapter 274

Chapter 274

The trench is not a place suitable for human habitation. No matter what time or situation, its function is only to keep people alive. The soldiers have had enough, and the time is approaching. It is only a few hours before the imperial guards are expected to launch a charge. , as long as there are no sudden changes, everything will be fine.

Now the soldiers are wearing gas masks, standing guard vigilantly, and taking turns. Before the end of the second night, only the morning of the third day has not arrived, that is, in a suffocating morning, the stars have not climbed up, and the moon is still alive. The time when the son will fall is also less than a few standard days after the commander who died due to his own stupidity.

The Scout Troops of the Space Marines, those young and elite Space Marine recruits who are more elite than the Grenadiers of the Empire, the strongmen of the Infiltrator armor wearing simple power suits, walked hurriedly, and then lay on the ground, lying on the ground and slumped on a high place. In the mud on a steep slope.

The leader of this team is a powerful veteran who has made great achievements in battle, but because of his special mission, he does not carry power armor. Extra favorite.

He crawled in the mud, and the anti-ballistic fiber successfully prevented the pants from absorbing water. The special military boots and the infiltrator armor on his body were not afraid of the harsh environment. He was like a wild beast, quietly watching the distance hiding behind the void shield maggots.

The veteran once again activated the augury instrument in his built-in armor to make sure that the mud on his body did not affect the anti-detection properties of the special holy anointing oil on his armor.

The sniper bolter he holds is equipped with a quiet enough silencer and deadly armor-piercing rounds, which can be used for scouting and killing demons.

"It's messy, but it doesn't look like an attack. Their officers gathered a few hours ago. What happened inside the enemy." He lowered his mouth and used the communicator inside the armor to talk. Quiet even when closed.

"Attention, according to my experience, there may be a war next, because there are only two things on the battlefield that can move the legion, and that is the preparation for war and the war."

His team members asked on the communicator. "So, do you need a report?"

he answered. "Private! What are the two most important points of intelligence?"

The soldier answered. "Timely and accurate!"

"Then just wait for me!" He replied firmly, and his judgment was correct. After the soldiers were buried in the soil and passed a few standard terra hours, he walked out of the enemy's camp. Squad, maybe 17 or so, in carapace, and that damn rune.

"It's the bastards their mother and the devil made in hell!" The veteran pointed a sniper scope at the heads of the beasts from the hillside near the enemy camp, and affectionately called him the "pet name" for the rune heretic.

The ridiculous thing is that it is very appropriate, but it is not the power obtained by their mother and the devil, but the magic power carved by the wizard stroke by stroke, although it is also disgusting.

"What are they looking for?" the recruit asked.

"Look at us, what has happened to those enemies? The stupid people who bombarded the soil before would not do such a thing. Then, someone changed those heresies." The veteran replied calmly.

"A murder?" As a recruit, but also a real Astartes, his thoughts were quick and he grasped the clues.

"It's a good guess, but I can't judge the situation based on this. Objectivity is always needed, no matter you are a recruit or a veteran." The veteran lowered his body, buried most of himself in the wet soil, and said. "Their perception abilities are powerful, don't take it lightly, the Chaos God is calling them in their flesh and blood."

Those recruits also spread out, lurking, absolute silence, if you look there from the outside, there is only calm ground and absolute tranquility, it is like stealth, the control of the space warrior's body can also make its breathing completely silent, There is no ups and downs in the body, so they can be stones, rotten wood, or everything, except that they are not warriors.

Different from most people's concept of powerful, brutal, and sacred space warriors, in many cases, this kind of concealment is the first lesson of space warriors in actual combat, just like meditation, learning to control one's body, in many cases, such Technique is even more important than shooting and fighting.

They are all experts in hiding. There is no doubt that the absolute quietness and serenity make those rune heretics unable to feel with their bodies, but that special investigative team does not rely on mortal flesh and blood, but the spiritual power that lives in their hearts. .

It's hard to describe whether such a choice is right or wrong. They are unstable and have many mental problems. Although their strong will makes them absolutely serve Njili Port, how long can they last like this?

Those beasts are destined to serve only their gods, not so-called mortals, and power and worldly power can only restrain them for a while, so this seizure of power makes most rune warriors happy.

In the squad that was ordered to move forward, the captain used the binoculars to scan the entire circle. "There is no enemy in sight, safe within the field of vision, move forward." He commanded calmly, and the team also dispersed, looking forward to the enemy in a network-like posture.

They are very smart and don't trust their eyes. Now this seemingly vast place has become a forest. They are using all their senses to touch any other existence, and as Catachan once said, The quieter it gets, the more dangerous it gets.

Soon, this place became a strange and different world. The people living here tried their best to distribute all their tried-and-true techniques in order to find the enemy, as if the temperature in the whole area was much lower.

Maybe it was the guidance brought by the Chaos Gods, the heretic team approached very quickly, maybe the captain saw that this place was suitable for an ambush, or maybe it was a complete coincidence.

The veteran watched those rune warriors approaching as if guided by a divination instrument. The new recruits were already facing an enemy, and they raised their weapons anxiously, while the veteran just shouted. "Lie down!"

His words reassured those guys, and when the rune warrior walked over the inconspicuous steep slope with vigilance, it was obvious that the luck brought by the Chaos Gods made them find the soldiers accurately, which was closer than hand-to-hand combat, A few small pits, and even the enemy may step directly over the body of the Space Marine.

The Space Marines couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as their military boots clattered through the dirt, but the veteran shouted now. "Shoot! Shoot!"

They were discovered, because he felt the chill behind his back, those Chaos servants were led by the gods, there is no doubt that they failed in this confrontation, the space warriors crawling in the mud climbed up, and the scouts pointed their sabers at them. Assassinated away.

Ding!The sound of blades crisscrossing, and then the rune warrior's chainsword humming and rumbling, sawing through the short saber, and the scout had to fall back, pointing his bolter shotgun at the heretic.

shouted the veteran. "You can only rely on your evil gods for guidance, can't you?"

"After all, if you don't have shelter, you are not fighters. I have three or four chances to kill you along the way, ha!" Soldiers can't escape from the enemy's sniper.

He only needs to deal with the enemy, then leave and report, just as usual, simple and straightforward.

The rune warriors didn't expect their acting skills to go wrong, they didn't answer the sarcasm, but took an attacking posture, absolutely wanting to stop those warriors.

The veteran among the Rune Warriors pressed the huge backpack on his back, and a strange position surrounded this place, which also made the space warrior lose the last chance to report, and the information was blocked by evil technology.

They faced each other, as the most experienced two teams of fighters in this star area, one was in a hurry to leave, the other wanted to keep them, and in the end, the recruits of the space warriors who had their own ideas couldn't bear it, and a bomb burst into flames , shot forward violently, and the shotgun scattered.

But the rune warrior felt it early, rolled sideways, splashed with mud, and actually avoided the shooting of the empire's most elite weapons at a close distance, and at the same time raised the deflagration gun that threatened even space warriors.

In the nick of time, the heat rays began to accumulate, but a flying blade, a small saber, was inserted into the barrel to deflect the heat. The bright red beam just brushed off the helmet of the Star Warrior recruit, leaving a black flame pattern. scar…

"It's too impulsive, recruit, go back to the camp to increase training, and recite the holy scriptures three hundred times!" The veteran scolded like an instructor, and saved this stupid guy. Guardian, he is under a lot of pressure, so he is also one of the most powerful beings in this chapter.

But at this moment, he couldn't lead the team to leave easily. Those damned heretics were aggressive. He raised his Seiko bolt pistol, because the enemy's camp had already started to move out, and many heretic troops were gathering.

Time, they need time, it is not difficult to clean up this group of enemies, but it is impossible to survive, no one can run past weapons, so someone must tear through the enemy's defense like a thunder.

"Recruits, take care. This is my last course and the last teaching I can give you. I hope you learn it clearly and never use it." He said so, raising his gun, those The Rune Warrior was also very nervous. After all, he was an interstellar warrior, and none of them had the guts to take it down.

The recruit just heard the veteran's words and couldn't help asking. "Sir, what are you doing?"

"Class, just class, as usual, but this time, what is taught is our battle group spirit, the soul on Ghost Peak, the eagle claws that destroy the eagle, and the spirit of living to death." The veteran walked forward quickly , the enemy is wary that they have more numbers than the opponent, but they have no confidence that they can win the opponent.

Soon, this lack of self-confidence turned into an attack from the front row of enemies, and in a battle of such intensity, a battle beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, losing one's composure means losing one's life.

The melta ray missed, it brushed past the veteran's body, and the veteran approached quickly, the non-human dashing power was more terrifying than any beast or enemy those guys had seen, because, even without power armor, he was also Astartes!

"Natural disaster is coming!" The voice was huge, and it was incompatible with the usual teachings of this scout instructor. It was also today that those recruits saw the true power of the Astartes. It was not a brother who was aloof and wearing power armor, nor an instructor who only verbally reprimanded him. , but the real deal, the battle that tears the enemy apart, the power bestowed by the emperor.

The bomb tore off the mortal's head, and his weapon fell out of his hand. The veteran raised his leg gently and kicked the chainsword, but the chainsword used by a mortal was too small, and the two-meter finger of a space warrior could not even pull the trigger. Let it spin and hold it like a dagger.

But even without armor and a decent weapon, with nothing but the buzzing of a trigger with a pinky thumb, the Space Marine Veteran keeps those enemies at bay.

The recruits were stunned and picked up their weapons belatedly, but the veterans just scolded. "Flank, auxiliary route, evacuate."

The recruit looked at his officer in disbelief. "No, it's impossible, we won't abandon you!"

"Then we will die! Listen to me, living to death is not terrible, but meaningless sacrifices are terrible. If you are overwhelmed by the mortal army later and die by bayonets or lasers, then you will be humiliated and destroyed." Veteran Chatting, as usual, as if those mighty rune monsters were training scarecrows.

The recruits bowed their heads and the veterans shouted. "I order you, evacuate, and live!"

Those guys finally ran to the camp, crossed the complicated hillsides and the bunkers of the trenches, and disappeared on the plain of war.

But the enemy didn't let them go, a few soldiers left the team, but the veteran immediately bypassed the enemy's obstacles with exquisite movements, and performed a small craniotomy on the rune warrior who wanted to catch the space soldier with a chainsaw sword.

Finally, the blood of heretic blood wet his cheeks, and the rune warrior captain looked ugly. "Don't let them go, we need to know the enemy's deployment, situation, tactics and planning!"

He moved forward, but was almost slashed by the chainsaw sword. If he hadn't been favored by Chaos, he would have gone to see his gods. .

"What, how are your gods?" he asked calmly, but the rune warrior scolded. "Shut up!"

And took out his own weapon, restraining the movement of the veteran, and the space warrior immediately compared with him the swordsmanship that he had been training for a long time, and easily defeated the captain's attack.

He is the most powerful fighter, without a doubt, but there are many enemies, and he can't deal with so many people. Soon, he became scarred and out of breath, and his carapace was stained with heresy blood, but his eyes were brighter, as if As he said, live to die.

And such a sacrifice, time after time, dragged the empire away from death, and he was eventually vaporized by the shooting of countless mortals, but even so, those heretics didn't have the guts to spare him, because that kind of arrogance might There will be terrible costs...

And today's sacrifice, this lesson, brought ten future heroes to the Destroying Eagle, and also brought a preview of the resistance raid to the weak Imperial Guard and the Fourth Company, keeping the weak flame of hope in Roander!
