Stars for the good Warhammer.

Chapter 3 Sir, there is a warning star ahead

"Walking zombie! It's a walking zombie!"

"This place is going to be lost!"

In the dark and narrow metal corridor, the howls of the dead were intertwined with the screams of the soldiers. At the end of the passage, a red laser beam produced when a light gun was fired lit up, and the air was filled with flesh and blood being burned. The burnt smell afterwards.

Not long ago, in order to prevent the stranded fleet from triggering panic at the lower levels, Captain Duncan ordered the flow of information within the battleship to be blocked. The purpose was to prevent riots from occurring. However, as time went by, rumors about the extinguished star torch eventually emerged. It was inevitable that the news would reach the ears of lower-level crew members and their families.

Although the soldiers of the Wind Sword have been trying to maintain order, and even resorted to some tough measures to do so, they obviously did not notice that while the panic continued, some kind of blasphemous thoughts were quietly spreading among the crowd. spread.

By the time people realized this, it was already too late. Corrupt ideas gave birth to a plague of corruption. Almost instantly, the evil power originating from the subspace killed hundreds of shaken residents and Sailors transform into bloated zombies.

At this moment, a large number of blasphemous creatures poured out of the narrow passage like a tide and launched a fierce attack on the checkpoint leading to the upper level of the ship.

Although under the tenacious counterattack of the family guards, row after row of zombies fell to the volleys of laser guns, and their corpses covered with abscesses almost blocked the passage, but this did not stop the army of the dead. attack.

Finally, facing the seemingly endless tide of corpses and armed with Mars MK3 laser rifles, the guards guarding the post began to waver, and one of them collapsed and shouted loudly.

"They're everywhere!"

Seeing that the morale of the guards was about to collapse, at this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Then fire everywhere."

Several guards followed the sound and saw that the door of the transport elevator behind them had been opened. A young noble man in a gorgeous uniform was walking out of it, and behind him were a dozen well-equipped guards.

"It's Lord Otto! Why are you here?"

Under the complicated looks of the guards, He Mi stood silently in the center of the outpost. His eyes swept over the terrifying creatures in front of him and the family guards who were exchanging fire with them. He felt the gunfire and the explosion caused by the explosion. Debris kept passing by.

To be honest, as an ordinary person living in peaceful times, such a scene made him instinctively frightened. As early as when the elevator door just opened, the idea of ​​​​escape came to his mind more than once.

However, it was like there was a force encouraging him to move forward. When He Mi realized this, he was already standing here.

He knew that this would be a good opportunity and a good stage for him to quickly establish his prestige.

While thinking, He Mi clenched the amulet necklace hanging on her chest with her trembling left hand. After hearing that she had decided to go to the lower level in person, Raya reluctantly handed this thing into her hands after many attempts to dissuade her failed.

It is said that it can provide a temporary protective force field for the wearer in an emergency. It is a very precious and ancient life-saving tool.

Not long after, when the nervousness calmed down, He Mi pulled out his gun from his waist. At this time, he had made up his mind to survive this inexplicable crisis.

The next second, a young but infectious voice echoed in the outpost where howls were coming one after another.

"Stick to your posts! Get rid of those poor damned ones!"

"I swear on the name of my family! I will lead you home safely!"

The guards saw that the young governor was standing behind the shooting bunker at the moment, commanding his personal guards to fight on the front line against the tide of corpses, acting like a battle-hardened war commander.

"I am with you! The Emperor is with you!"

Inspired by this voice, the atmosphere of the battlefield was instantly pushed to a climax. The soldiers in the outpost shouted for the glory of the Emperor and Cyrus, responding to the roar of the corpses with unstoppable fanaticism.

It was during this period that He Mi, who was standing in the crowd, suddenly discovered that there seemed to be light golden light overflowing from the guards. He didn't know what it was, but when the light penetrated like wisps of golden mist, within one’s own body.

He only felt an unprecedented warmth surge inside his body, and at the same time, the string of golden words appeared in his mind again.

【Have gained faith】

  The battle in the residential area did not last too long. With the support of reinforcements that continued to arrive, the intensive line of fire intertwined by red lasers was like a sickle, harvesting the gradually shrinking group of corpses.

Not long after, seeing that the number of those blasphemous creatures dropped sharply, under the instructions of He Mi, the members of the family guard in the defense station took the initiative and began to clean the rooms on both sides of the passage one by one to ensure that nothing would slip through. of fish.

Staring at the figures of the guards, He Mi, who was standing behind the steel bunker, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Due to excessive tension, he could even faintly hear his own heartbeat, and his legs felt more like they were filled with lead. Extremely heavy.

Seeing that there was no one around, He Mi slumped down with his back against the bunker, his gorgeous cloak tucked under his buttocks.

Obviously I was just standing here and shouting a few slogans, but it turned out to be more tiring than expected. It seemed that I was not suitable for the job of a political commissar.

Fortunately, the situation has finally stabilized. If these things are left alone and the panic continues to spread, then the Wind Sword may have to be renamed the Beast Senior and be placed under the sect of the loving father.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the side. He Mi looked around. The moment he raised his eyes, he saw a pair of black military boots already in front of him. Above that was a pair of slender and stylish boots. , calf covered with pantyhose.

"The way you looked just now reminds me of those Astra Militarum officers I saw when I was studying in the Sisters."

The person who spoke was Miss Rayana. When she heard the voice, He Mi stood up on the ground. At this time, the other party was looking at her with a rather complicated look.

"But as the leader of Haiwen, this behavior is really too reckless. I hope you can think more about the continuation of the family and try not to take too many risks." A little depressed, He Mi just smiled helplessly and said nothing. After stuffing the precision laser pistol in his hand back into his waistband, he took off the necklace with a protective function. He stood down and put his hand in front of the other party.

After all, this thing was originally worn around Raya's neck, but who would have thought that the girl just glanced at it, and after a moment of silence, she sighed softly and said.

"Perhaps you need its protection more than me."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, He Mi forced the amulet back into her hand.

"As a gift, this is too expensive."

At this moment, several guards came over from the side, and the leader reported to He Mihui.

"Sir Otto, we found two survivors in the cabin."

"survivor?"

He Mi was a little surprised by the other party's words. Looking behind the guard, he saw a young man in shabby clothes who looked like a beggar. Judging from his appearance alone, there seemed to be nothing noteworthy about him.

Behind the man, there is a little girl wearing a dirty blanket. She is holding the former's shirt tightly with one small hand. She looks very nervous. It is hard to imagine that such a skinny and unattractive person. The young man, and the lamb-like girl behind him, were able to survive the evil god's plague and the rolling tide of corpses.

"Their names are on our boarding list. The man is called Mardo, a pilgrim planning to go to Samuel, and the girl is the daughter of another traveler. When we found them, he was A man stood in front of gate E67, chanting prayers from the holy scriptures of the state religion loudly, while fighting with the corpses with a machete."

As an old Hammer friend, he knows very well that in the Warhammer world view, faith is a quite metaphysical force, especially among the groups of priests and fanatic believers. There have always been many ruthless people who can be called cheating. Role.

The guard's words made He Mi couldn't help but set his sights on the young Mardo again. He used a mortal body to fight against the power of the Chaos Gods. The scene was quite exciting just thinking about it, but it was also the Empire's A true microcosm of.

It is a recognized fact that the reason why such a huge human empire can survive to this day in a galaxy surrounded by powerful enemies and dangers is not relying on those Astartes with superhuman bodies, nor is it the 21 like The godlike primarch.

In a sense, they are more like a set of tools created by the Emperor, and these fragile mortals with flesh and blood are the true foundation of the Human Empire, and this is what makes it great. reason.

After briefly asking a few questions, for safety reasons, He Mi finally ordered two guards to temporarily place the pilgrims under house arrest. However, during this period, he noticed the young man named Mardo. People seem to be staring at themselves all the time.

For some reason, the other person's expression looked so weird. At first, he didn't notice it. He turned around and tried to continue talking to Raya. However, the moment he turned his head, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind.

What surprised him was that the young pilgrim suddenly knelt down on his knees at this time, looking dumbfounded as if he had seen some incredible scene. Such a sudden situation obviously made everyone present confused.

However, what they didn't know was that in Mardo's eyes, he first saw a burst of golden mist emanating from He Mi's shoulders. As the hazy mist gradually intertwined and gathered, it finally formed a golden figure.

At this moment, the tall figure was standing behind He Mi, casting a loving and tired look.

  After an unknown period of time, as the battle on the lower deck came to an end, He Mi, who returned to the bridge, heard good news from Captain Duncan.

As he said before, shortly after the battle, the star torch on Terra lit up again, so under He Mi's order, the Cyrus family fleet almost immediately executed Jump program to return to the real universe.

This meant that the nightmare was about to end. He had successfully survived an imminent crisis. This made He Mi breathe a sigh of relief. As the shield of Geller's position gradually opened, he looked out at the mysterious and profound scenery through the porthole of the battleship. Universe, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Ha~ The so-called Warhammer World seems to be nothing more than that~
  However, before He Mi could be happy for a long time, Captain Duncan made a request to him at this moment.

"Lord Governor, the front of the fleet is about to depart from Mandeville Point in the Alert System. Do we need to replenish the Wind Sword in this system?"

The so-called Mandeville Point refers to a stable exit that can safely enter the real universe. At first, He Mi didn't think there was anything wrong with such a suggestion.

"Okay, let the fleet be fully prepared, and then we'll see you later."

However, before he finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to him. In Raya's confused eyes, the Governor suddenly turned around and screamed at Duncan with a distorted expression.

"Wait a moment!"

"You just said we were almost there?"

He looked like a gangster who had met the Inquisitor. Such a violent reaction made Duncan frown.

"It's the warning star, my lord"

"This is a common route to Haiwen. Is there any problem?"

question? !
  The problem is huge! !
  Q: What is a warning star?
  Answer: A place where a man silently sheds tears and a woman can let the King of Hell escape overnight with a train on his back.

Since the fleet needs to pass through the alert star field, it means that its territory is most likely to be in
  The dark side of the empire?

It is no exaggeration to say that this is no different from traveling to Poland in 1938 and becoming a Jewish businessman.
