God Emperor’s Angel of Death

Vila 3 is not just a jungle. In fact, there are many rivers and drier plateaus between different jungles.

In order to be able to expand the scope of reconnaissance and early warning, Almin decided to lead the team to a higher place.

"Understood, sir."

Almin said to the communicator:

"We will continue to detect the enemy's actions."

When the recruit company commander closed his communicator, Bahram was waiting expectantly, and then Armin in silver-gray armor walked slowly across the grass to the recruit squad waiting there.

"Is there a new order for us?"

Haomo asked with some excitement. The last time he fought with Greenskins, in his words, it was - even warm up. The extent is not up to.

"No, we will continue to patrol the perimeter of the battlefield. Chapter Chang has just wiped out a large group of greenskins, but there may still be some wandering greenskins troops marching towards the jungle canyon."

"But...we haven't encountered a green skin for half an hour."

"You don't think this is the ultimate in reconnaissance skills you have mastered. Is it a good test? When you become a formal combat brother, you must obey discipline to perform some tedious but necessary tasks. Maybe you are more willing to perform other things, more glorious orders?"

Almin glared at Hammer.

"Remember, recruits, orders are not interpreted! They need to be followed, remember this."

They went all the way from the rainforest to the dry land on the east side, The rocky plateau gave way to a gentle slope at the bottom of the dormant volcano, and the recruits followed the road to higher elevations, crossing many gravel beaches on the way.

The low-hanging clouds pass over the mountainside, covering everything with the color of slate.

Bahram can even hear the chirping of birds and the rustling of other animals foraging, and the sound of insects buzzing through the top of the grass-even if Astart For a long time, he was often surprised by his keen senses.

There are often short-term westerly winds blowing gently, and on the leeward side of the rock, thorny bushes grow irregularly there.

From time to time, he can smell a smell that is dissipating in the air, and the corpses that have lost their fangs and sharp claw for survival are decomposing.

The edges of the road are littered with debris left by the green skin: piles of manure, abandoned bones and food residues, broken teeth, rotten leather, and various other tatters of unknown origin and purpose. .

In a sense, this path itself is a scar left by the green skin—heavy footprints and the trajectory of the animal's hoof make the surface covered with pits, and even cause collapse in some places.

The smell of green skin is everywhere here, which can't disperse in the air for a long time, rushes into the nasal cavity, and sticks to clothes.

Suddenly, Almin smelled something stinking in the distance, so he waved his hand to let the recruits leave the road and head north, looking for the source of the smell.

"Report the company commander, there is a discovery!"

At a distance of several hundred meters from the broad-grained rock, Homo signaled that he had found something.

Oscar and Zod stood on both sides with their sniper rifles on alert, while the others went to investigate the grass.

This place has been trampled on by many combat boots, and there is no doubt that a group of green leathers have passed by here.

In the next few minutes, Almin found a green-skinned corpse, lying face down on the grass, insects buzzing around it.

In addition to a few pieces of leather, the corpse has been stripped off. In addition to various tattoos on the bare skin of the arms and back, there are more than a dozen bloody wounds. It seems that this green skin has been affected by many enemies. Attacked.

"The smell is dead."

Almin turned this Xenos over with his feet in disgust, and a foul smell instantly gushed from its chest and abdomen, making the recruits Turned around in disgust.

"Look at this!"

Almin sternly said, the recruits obeyed the order while covering their mouth and nose with their hands.

"What did you see?"

The recruits hesitated to surround the body.

"It's dead."

Haomo spoke boldly.

"Are you sure?"

Almin stared at him and asked.

"Yes, although the life force of the green skin is very tenacious, it has already begun to fester. The Xenos biological investigation report says... the live green skin wound will not be Infection, there is something in their blood that can stop gangrene and other blood poisonings. They can even expose their wounds to strong radiation directly. This makes them one of the reasons why they are such dangerous enemies. They can be in almost any environment. Survive without worrying about getting hurt."

"Very good."

Almin looked towards others again.

"Anything else?"

"Its teeth are missing."

Robin opened the mouth and said, the recruit bent down Get close to the creature's face and open its lips, exposing bare gums.

"Not even a tooth is left."

"Then who took the tooth?"

"Green skin has no economy and no currency Concept, but they still have trading behaviors. In addition to bartering, their most commonly used equivalent is teeth."

Robin answered calmly.

"And all the weapons on it were taken away, and it looked like it was killed, not plundered after falling down."

"Wounds There is a strange substance on it."

Bahram went on to say that he took out the short blade and scraped a layer from the wound on the green chest, and the white fibrous material immediately stuck to the blade.

"Spores."

Almin nodded praised Bachram's discovery.

"You will find it in all the dead greenskin system creatures, whether it is two-legged or four-legged. Once these spores infiltrate the earth, they will appear in the coming year hundreds more than they are now. This is the real reason why green skin can become a nuisance to the galaxy! So the corpse of green skin must be incinerated to ensure that the spores will not spread!

"These spores are the tissue cells of the green skin, or Reproductive material like plant pollen? "

A recruit questioned.

But Almin did not answer, but looked towards the winding road through the trampled grass.

It may be the greenskins, or groups of Ork, who wandered here and were attacked.

After the robbery was over, the survivors returned to the large army, which may contain some important significance. .

"Continue to patrol east, we will walk along this road until dark. "

"What do these spores do, company commander?" "

When the squad passed through an uneven waist-length grass, the recruit asked again.

"I don't know, I am not a biological sage. "

Almin's impatience answer.

"But one thing is for sure, Xenos have a variety of ways of reproducing, eradicating the traces of their existence after victory This kind of thing is always necessary: ​​their corpses, their buildings, their weapons, their culture! Only by completely destroying these can we not bring regrets to the future, understand? "

"Understood! "

The recruits immediately looked at the dead green skin in disgust.

When the clouds covered the sun, their team set off again.
