Immortal, My Desperate Journey at 40k

Chapter 724 Trap
The boy's arm was grabbed by the Dark Eldar, but the boy did not dare to resist them. He had completely lost hope of living. The boy was tied to a cross-shaped rack. Then the Dark Eldar began to squeeze the child's soul. The child's fragile body could not withstand such torture at all. He gradually lost his life amidst the painful wails.

He stared lifelessly at the Dark Eldars in front of him, and these guys simply took the boy off the rack like a dead animal, and threw him back into the cage. Just as these Dark Eldars threw the boy's body back into the cage, a bomb suddenly hit the Dark Eldar's head.

A traverser wearing tactical power armor was holding his sniper-type cannon gun. He was looking angrily at the Dark Eldar who was shot in the head by him, and the traverser next to him just patted him on the shoulder, and then immediately rushed towards the surviving Dark Eldar. They were an infiltration force, and their mission was to rescue as many humans as possible along the way, and to move the Dark Eldar on the road as quietly as possible.

But they came too late. When they arrived here, the boy had already lost his life, and the last thing they could do was to kill those dark elves to avenge him. The grenade launcher played the Holy Word of the God-Emperor, which represented the God-Emperor's disgust and anger towards those aliens.

The God-Emperor sent down His angels to burn all the enemies of humanity in this world and to save some humans in this world. However, His angels were unable to complete their tasks perfectly under certain circumstances. The current situation is the best proof that they did not have time to save these human lives.

The traverser holding the sniper bolter looked at the corpses in the cages. He looked at the little boy, the corpse covered with all kinds of shocking wounds. He really felt that it was his fault. If he could be faster, if he could get here faster, if he could get here faster and quickly aim at the damn dark elf, the child might not have died at all.

The time traveler looked at the child's body for a long time, but in the end he did not say anything. He just put away his sniper bolter and continued to move forward with the troops. He could not save the child, but he would definitely be faster in the future and would definitely save more people from the hands of the Dark Eldar.

There are more than a dozen infiltration teams like this team in this city. Each team consists of 11 people. These traversers have received professional infiltration warfare training. There is no need to doubt their combat capabilities. Buildings in the city have been cleared out one by one under their infiltration, and a large number of human slaves have escaped from the city through the escape passages they have cleared.

The Dark Eldars also discovered something was wrong, but it was too late by the time they found out. At that time, the muzzles of the time travel infiltration troops were already pointed at their heads, and the Dark Eldars were directly beheaded by the time travelers. To be honest, this cannot be blamed on the Dark Eldars for not being cautious enough, but the war they fought before was completely different from the one they are fighting now.

Before, they were facing the local troops in this world that had fallen into decadence, but now, they were facing an imperial legion. The gap between the two was huge, and this was not a war that they could handle in a short time.

“Astartes! Why do Astartes appear in this world? It has been confirmed that this world is at the edge of the Milky Way and there is no possibility of an empire appearing. Why? Why do those monkeys still arrive in this world!!”

In the former capital of this world, in a twisted palace converted from a government building, the archon of the world's largest conspiracy group of the Dark Eldar was looking at the human in front of him who had been tortured beyond recognition. He was pondering this question in his mind. They had clearly determined that this world was on the edge of the galaxy and it was impossible for any forces from the Empire to appear there, but now a legion of the Empire had appeared here.

What was the reason for this? The Archon didn't know, but it needed more humans to drain their lives so that it could think more clearly about the problem. However, humans didn't give it time. Just as the body of the human in front of it was dragged away and another human was about to be dragged in front of it, a huge explosion suddenly appeared in the city. Those explosions occurred in various areas of the city.

After hearing the explosions, the Dark Eldar Archon immediately recognized what the explosions were. They were attacks by the human artillery regiment, bombardments by human self-propelled artillery called petrified lizards. Humans had begun to attack the city.

The Archon stood up from his throne, his gaze passed through the hall of the palace and looked at the huge city outside the palace. In this city today, a large number of Dark Eldar were slaughtering humans wantonly. They were already a group of desperate beings, and now, they were having their last carnival, squeezing the souls of those people at the last moment of their desperation in order to gain strength and pleasure for themselves.

Humans are also aware of what the Dark Eldar have done, but currently human troops cannot enter the city to rescue their fellow humans. Because if they rashly enter the city, they will not be able to save humans in the most efficient way. If the Dark Eldar are forced into desperate situations, then they will not act slowly like they do now, extracting souls. They may even directly massacre all humans in the city.

The Dark Eldar in this world are truly capable of such massacres. To them, the humans in this world are not an intelligent race, but just a group of beasts that they can dispose of and kill at will. If human troops do not attack cities, their killing of humans will only stop at extracting their souls, and this process is not as terrible as massacre.

This is a very simple choice, but it is also a very difficult choice. Rushing into the city to rescue those humans by force may cause the Dark Eldars to become desperate and start a massacre. By then, the number of humans who die will be much greater than the number of souls that the Dark Eldars have extracted now. However, watching the Dark Eldars extracting the souls of those humans makes Wang Ming feel extremely uncomfortable.

But he had to make this choice well, sacrificing the lives of a few people to save the majority. This was something he had to decide. After thinking for a long time, Wang Ming directly chose to sacrifice a small number of people to save the majority. However, Wang Ming did not do nothing. The bombing of the artillery unit was just a cover. In fact, letting those infiltration troops in was Wang Ming's real plan.

The large army cannot enter the city, lest the Dark Eldars become desperate, but the infiltration troops can. As long as their action is successful, they can open a passage out of the city for the humans in the city. As long as the humans in the city are rescued, they can fight the Dark Eldars to the death without any scruples. For this operation, Wang Ming specially moved the Raven Guards on the fleet. They are the most suitable for this mission. Their stealth ability can kill a large number of Dark Eldars silently. Compared with the Raven Guards, which are completely suitable for this operation, the infiltration troops of the traversers are indeed a bit uncomfortable. This infiltration mission is very difficult.

The Second Regiment certainly could not be relied upon for such a mission. Letting these guys carry out infiltration would only result in a huge frontal battlefield in the end. So Wang Ming still moved the Thirteenth Regiment out. Although the Thirteenth Regiment did not have as high tactical qualities as the First Regiment, fortunately their combat capabilities and tactical qualities were much better than those of other regiments, and they would not have the same tactical bias as the other old regiments. At least sending them out was much better than sending other regiments.

As for this arrangement, although other regiments had some opinions, big or small, these opinions were nothing more than some opinions that they felt they could have. However, these opinions that they felt they could have had disappeared completely after Wang Ming pointed out their shortcomings one by one. After all, it was true that their tactical capabilities were not as good as the Thirteenth Regiment, and they also hoped that their fellow human beings would be saved.

In this way, Wang Ming led the infiltration force composed of the 13th Regiment and the infiltration force composed of the Raven Guard into the battlefield. To be honest, their infiltration mission was very simple, which was to kill wherever they went, kill all the Dark Eldar they saw, and then rescue the human slaves along the way. They needed to do all these things without exposing themselves.

This mission is both simple and complex. The simple part is to kill the Dark Eldar, and the complex part is to save the humans along the way and bring them away from the city. They are not like the other legions of the Empire and cannot accept the death of civilians in front of them. This is why they are now somewhat timid.

Their journey was very easy, even a little weird. They did not encounter too many Dark Eldar along the way, but rescued a large number of human slaves. Although the plan was carried out very smoothly, Wang Ming still felt vaguely that something was wrong. Sometimes a plan going too smoothly can also be a very weird thing.

"Something is wrong. It's smooth and makes me feel something is not normal."

Wang Ming grabbed the head of a dark elf and broke its neck before the dark elf could react. He gently threw the body of the dark elf on the ground, and then his spiritual power silently decomposed the body into pieces, making it disappear quietly into the air.

"What's wrong? Our mission is clearly going very smoothly."

Xiao Changqing looked at Wang Ming beside him. He put the dead body of a Dark Elf with its neck cut in his hand on the ground and asked Wang Ming. Wang Ming first glanced at the dead body of the Dark Elf beside Xiao Changqing. The guy's throat was cut by a monomolecular dagger, but it was cut too thoroughly. There were only a few fascia left connecting its neck.

"It was because it was going so smoothly that I felt something was wrong."

Wang Ming looked at the corpse, the spiritual power surged in his hands, and then the corpse of the dark elf turned into countless fragments and floated in the air like the previous corpse.

"Could it be a trap?"

Xiao Changqing looked at the slowly disappearing corpses of the dark elves. After thinking for a while, he told Wang Ming his idea. When a plan goes so smoothly that it seems weird, then the plan may have been known by the enemy, and all of this may be a trap set by the enemy to play a long game to hook these big fish.

"Hmm... it's very possible."

Wang Ming looked at Xiao Changqing, he suddenly turned around and pulled out the Yong Neng from his waist, and threw it directly to a position behind him without thinking. Due to the nature of their action this time, most of them did not actually use their hot weapons. Most of them used cold weapons, and most of them did not even use power weapons, but only some single-molecule weapons. In order not to cause too much noise, they did not even wear power armor, but only wore an enlarged bulletproof armor.

Wang Ming thought silently for a while, and then he led the team to continue the action. No matter whether this was a trap or not, the humans they rescued were real. Even if this was a trap, they were willing to take part in it, even if they had to jump in themselves. As long as they could rescue those humans, they would be willing to give everything.

And just as their team was taking action, just as those human slaves in this city were being rescued, in the Dark Eldar palace in this city, the Dark Eldar Archon was no longer thinking about the problem as before. He just sat quietly on the throne with a twisted smile on his lips. Everything was just as he had calculated. The young god had fallen into his trap. It was very worthwhile to sacrifice the lives of those lower-level Dark Eldars and the number of livestock to hunt down a young god.
