Warhammer: I am the Hammer of the Empire - #366 - Chapter 359: Bright Red Catachan
The strong door of the Bandertal Manor was opened again by someone else the day after it was locked. This strange and hostile force stood together with the Imperial Guard for the first time. Although it was forced, this moment was quite dramatic. The image still feels ironic.
Under the powerful power of the demon, the rune soldiers and the Skadi stood together, and in the command room, the vast hall of Nabande Tal, the ensign drank wine from the cellar, only because the fresh water storage was empty , while watching the uninvited guests vigilantly.
The person who came was a beast. He did not bring any guards, but the swollen muscles and wildness of his body spoke of his strength and ability. An unfettered beast walked into the core of the Imperial Guard. This was unacceptable and extremely dangerous, but Today, this monster is the Imperial Guard’s way of staying alive.
Captain Kenny seemed redundant at the moment. He stood next to the leader of the rune soldiers. Although he was not short, he looked as fragile as a kitten because of his illness and weight loss.
The second lieutenant now had to let his stormtrooper guards keep an eye on that guy, but the demons’ attack was still fierce, and he didn’t have much time to waste here.
“We’re all going to die.”
He spoke.
“No way!” Kenny immediately retorted. “You are the most powerful army I have ever seen, bar none. If you can’t deal with those guys, then my behavior is ridiculous…” He couldn’t believe this, but the shrinking defense line of the Imperial Guard was there. Prove this.
The lion-like rune warrior also spoke. “Yes, the mortals are right. Those demons cannot be taken down by us together. I have seen what they are capable of. As long as we can cooperate sincerely… revenge is not impossible!” His anger was like burning fire. Burning magma, he is like a scorching volcano, but his eyes are still sophisticated and sharp, pointing out the opportunity for war.
But the ensign replied. “Sincerely? You are a heretic. Don’t forget that you killed our brothers and attacked other worlds, and the Imperial Guard also fought back, killing countless of your flesh and blood compatriots. This matter cannot be reconciled.”
“As far as the most realistic point is concerned, if we all need to spend 80% of our strength to win, then it will cost us 60% to be wary of each other in the war. If we defeat the devil, why am I not sure that you war maniacs will not Will he attack the empire?”
The beastly man couldn’t answer this, he just answered based on his own intuition. “I could have sworn it.”
“Then I will kill you too, kill all of you, otherwise the empire will have no hope and future. Your existence is what the human empire does not need now. Therefore, there is no cooperation, only a short-term similarity in battle lines.” The second lieutenant retorted. .
“This war is destined to be a three-party force. Behind us is the emperor, you are a certain god, and the demons are other gods. From this point of view, the essence of the matter is also very simple. In this game of beast fighting, In it, the troops of the Supreme Being can stand to the end and dominate this giant void port that is as large as hundreds of battleships, one of the greatest deep space platforms in the empire!”
The second lieutenant’s words pointed directly at the most acute contradiction. The barbarian was speechless. He could only fight, fight, and fight. He resented betrayal and demons, but the Imperial Guard could not let go…
He took a short breath, then spoke. “Then we can only wait for death?!”
The lieutenant shook his head. “The breakthrough is not us, but a hero. Soon, an opportunity to counterattack to the portal where the devil appears will appear in front of us, and I ask you to help us shoulder the pressure on the front before this time comes. ”
“At the same time, I will not allow you to join the final assault. Your battle line can only be deployed within a warning range that is far enough away from the manor. At this moment, you have to hold the front line close combat area. The Imperial Guard is only responsible for shooting.”
The leader of the rune soldiers nodded. “It’s a good suggestion. My soldiers are indeed better at close combat, but I have a request. The traitor who summoned the demon, a tall, thin and dark rune soldier, the former deputy company commander, I want his body.”
The ensign nodded. This was a simple and easily invalidated verbal agreement, but he would not violate it. As a soldier, he also had his own honor. Those rune warriors walked to the front line, and the elite Skadi of the Imperial Guard were replaced.
Those warriors quickly adapted to high-intensity warfare, and the weapons and ammunition provided by pdf allowed anti-armor missiles to be fired again. After several heavy steel bulls were bombed to death, the dance-like fighting style of the rune warriors was completely hindered. The march of those demons.
The detonation beams fired by the Skadis accurately passed through the battlefield, and the bright red high-temperature energy penetrated the enemy, leaving horrific wounds. The demons fell in droves. Whether they were Skadis or Rune Warriors, they all learned how to Techniques to kill the demons, humanity’s greatest enemies in this dark universe.
The scarlet front instantly slowed down, and the Imperial Guard began to expand outward into the war zone. However, in order to maintain a long-term defensive array, they only recaptured a few points that were easier to defend and harder to attack. Stabilize the situation.
It’s just that this cooperation exceeded the expectations of the Skull Reaver. The bright red Khorne champion looked at the manor in the distance with anger and greed, while commanding more demon armies coming out of the portal to fill the battle line…
The opportunity that the Ensign mentioned was, to be precise, the miracles named Catachan were ready to go in a secluded abandoned house, which was filled with dyes and blood used in oil paints or strange touches and fillings. Artificial skin and a large number of highly malleable industrial materials.
In the ancient era of Terra, when humans had just stepped out of the starry sky and before the advent of the dark technological age, methods called film makeup were used on a large scale in the entertainment industry. Although those things can be said to be lost today, there is always something in human thoughts. commonality.
Now Wild Snake and his few men used as many materials and state-of-the-art techniques as possible to make the Master Chief and his ten Catachan men into demons.
Now they are hunched at the waist, with horns on their heads. Their outer skins made of leather and their taller bodies look like several powerful vanguards of Khorne. The sharp blood swords do not look out of place in their hands, and the brimstone and The smell of blood also surrounds the surrounding area.
The Master Chief shook his hand. He felt an obvious obstruction, and at the same time he was not feeling free. However, he could see that there were only sharp nails, bright red, bulging muscles, and fine blood vessels, as if they did not belong to him. The arms were acting according to his thoughts.
“A miracle.” He spoke concisely. If it weren’t for the bright red ribbons on the arms of the “Catachan Demon” with him, he might not have been able to recognize those brothers who shared weal and woe.
“But this is not a transformation technique. To be precise, the demons can definitely feel the difference in you.” The wild snake wiped the dye on his fingers, then sat on the ruins of the ruins and began to rest.
“The good news is that demons are everywhere now. You can keep your distance and pretend that you are a demon squad. I think you can avoid the perception of angry demons and ordinary vampires. But even so, I strictly require you to be sure that you can attack the target. Keep enough distance from those demons,” he said sternly.
“At least, now we have a real cover, although according to Catachan’s aesthetics, this is not normal.” The Master Chief praised this technology again, but it was much worse than the magic-like thing in the assassination parlor. He picked up his weapon and put it on his waist. Now, he needed to hunt, as usual.
Only the wild snake asked. “Is this necessary? To be precise, this place will still be purged. You have exceeded the responsibilities of the Imperial Guard, the Inquisition, psychic powers, many secrets and humanity. No matter how hard you work now, you will lose everything, but in exchange for What comes is nothing but the cruelty of the empire and a messy battlefield.”
The Master Chief cocked his own blaster and answered him. “No, as a person I believe in Commander-in-Chief Alan Bair. Secondly, as a soldier, I only need to complete the task of protecting the empire. It is my responsibility to fulfill my duties faithfully. Other things are too complicated and boring.”
“How the so-called Tribunal and the Empire deal with this place actually has nothing to do with me. I only believe that for Alan Bair, the master of Skadi will take this place, for my comrades, and then win. In the end, You can tell your life without regrets in front of the emperor.”
“Living is not everything, Mr. Wild Snake, I think you should understand that life has countless choices and destiny, and I became a warrior. When I stepped onto this path, I no longer feared death. It was calm. Kind, not scary anymore.”
“The point is, if I am still working hard for tomorrow’s goals in the hive city, then I must be an individual who is greedy for life and afraid of death and even refutes the existence of death. It was the war that changed me. Now I just want to let human beings survive in this cruel universe for a few more days. Live by the minute, and die by it.”
He fully prepared his weapon, and the wild snake swallowed.
“I wish you good luck in the military and Tongheng…” he finished with choked sobs, and the Master Chief returned the greeting. As the successor of Lieutenant Colonel Catachan, he inherited his teacher’s will, just for more human beings to survive in this cruel universe. Live for a few days so that your comrades and compatriots can get out of this hell.
The soldiers also stepped out of the ruins. After walking out in neat steps for a long time, the angry monsters quickly discovered them but did not take any action.
Wild Snake’s help is very effective. They look like a demon team. Sergeant Catachan made a gesture. They are relying on hidden tactical movements to move forward, covertly and quickly.
In just one hour, they were close to the demons. It was already midnight, and the demons could see through the night. The Catachans were also used to darkness. It was still difficult to hide, but they were very smart. The Catachan sergeant stopped in the distance. A high platform that has monitored the actions of other demons for a long time, and then relied on its military experience to analyze the responsibilities of those demons.
This is not difficult. Demons also have to bear the situation of being bound by the rules of the real material world after coming to the real universe. When they start a war, the methods used by the indigenous people of this world are actually the same.
Soon he locked onto a unit with a configuration similar to theirs. It was a heavily armored Khorne vanguard group that served as escorts. They interspersed in the gaps of the large camp and were responsible for reconnaissance and escort. Those guys would only come into contact with a capture team in about 30 minutes. The Brassed Vehicle of the Skull, and the Champion of Khorne report their findings…
This was an opportunity. The Catachans quickly realized that they could imitate that team. Demons were not a piece of iron. Most ordinary vampires did not even dare to look directly at such a Guards-type unit.
Just like the lower-level soldiers within the Imperial Guard would not question the officers, and part of their body material came from the demon vanguard they killed. This was a rare coincidence that made him very unsure whether there was an Emperor behind this matter. s help.
Of course, he would not miss this opportunity. He led his troops from the outermost side of the patrol. Here he could see the exchange of fire between the Imperial Guard and the demons. However, his eyesight was not as good as that of the demons, and he could only see the empire. The powerful firepower of the guards defeated the demons step by step, stabilizing the situation.
They passed several patrols, and when the low-level demons saw their appearance, they lowered their heads and left, just like a mouse meeting a cat. They also increased their forward speed and approached the enemy’s core area at a fairly fast walking speed.
Soon, there were almost no ordinary vampires left, and a large number of war engines and Khorne Vanguards replaced those poor little bugs. The smell of blood and sulfur here was also stronger.
And here the Master Chief saw several strange monsters. Those things were huge, almost 6 meters tall, with many tentacles and twisted eyes. They were almost asymmetrical and uncertain. To be precise, they were roughly round. In shape, it has two thick legs to support its body.
They were kept in enclosures by demons like animals or war beasts, with fragments of human bones next to them, like a scary, nasty pet.
But ignoring those things, they saw here surrounded by demons. The mutation in this area, strange cracks appeared on the ground, revealing a substance similar to sulfur or magma, barbs like black bones grew out like trees, human beings The house has completely collapsed. It is like a different space, with only the wild dancing of demons and incomprehensible words.
This was something that ordinary people couldn’t bear. The sense of abnormality existing in a world that did not belong to them made people crazy and nauseating. But they passed through those things and found the demon lord on a high platform, with his huge body and cloak. , and there is a strange human being next to him.
The strange human spoke. “They cooperated, as expected.”
The demon champion replied in a hoarse voice. “As expected, besides, it’s time to entertain the guests.”
“Guest?” the human asked, and the demon replied.
“They wear devil skins and can fool other kids, but they can’t fool me…”
Next, the skulltaker raised his sword and pointed it at Master Chief Catachan. “Come on, mortal, duel with me. If you win, I will be expelled, and then you will be torn into pieces by the demons. If I win, your soul will become my dinner. It’s fair, isn’t it?” The sexualized opening, twisted expression, and exposed fangs reveal greed and malice for Catachan’s loyal soul…
