Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"If the oath of the Eldar people is reliable, how can they leave a fickle reputation in the universe?" Li was not moved by Maerlan's oath. He just said indifferently: "Maybe you didn't lie, but it's meaningless to say these things now. Everything will be proven in the end."

After repeatedly asking about the details of Maerlan's words several times, Li finally confirmed his guess that this operation might be safe.

After tying Maerlan up, Li took Maerlan on the way home. A week later, Li dragged his tired body back to the fortress of the Wilderness Gate.

After escorting the prisoner to the dungeon and explaining some precautions, he rushed back to the room and fell on the bed to make up for his sleep.

Li was really too tired. Carrying out missions alone is a high-risk activity. Even if Li is superb and has good skills, he is still just a person. If someone really hits him while he is asleep, he will die. Therefore, when Li is on a mission alone, he will not sleep. Even if he closes his eyes and does not move, it is just a simple rest, not a real sleep.

Li values ​​his life very much and does not want to die easily.

Having seen many wars, Li naturally knows what the battlefield is like. Many good fighters do not die because of poor skills, but because of carelessness. As the saying goes, the older you are, the less courageous you are. Therefore, even people like Li must always be vigilant and cautious when performing tasks alone.

After catching the war witch of the Eldar, you need to be more careful. Not only must you carefully guard the prisoners to avoid accidents, but you must also monitor the dynamics of psychic energy at all times to prevent the war witch from doing anything with psychic energy. Of course, the war witch Maerlan has not tried these aspects, but the slightest change in her psychic energy can arouse Li's vigilance. After trying several times, he found that the enemy's sensitivity to psychic energy is simply terrifying, and the possibility of using psychic energy to ask for help or escape naturally disappears.

Simply put, during this long period of time when he was on the mission, Li's sleep quality was not high. His body was no longer the body of the transformed warrior before. When he was a muscular man, muscle soreness and physical fatigue were nothing. Even if his heart was blown up, he had to continue fighting. Broken hands and feet were the norm on the battlefield, and he would go back and fight with a mechanical prosthesis.

But now it is different.

In the past, Li was a standard Star Wars soldier. From body to mind, he was a forged steel knife, a weapon, and a consumable. Not only did the high-level officials of the empire see these warriors, but even the warriors themselves sometimes saw themselves in this way.

But now Li does not think that he is a consumable, nor does he treat himself as a human being.

If the one sitting on the top of the throne of the empire is really the savior of mankind, the wise and powerful sacred emperor, then it is nothing to follow such a perfect and powerful person like a god and dedicate himself to the strength of mankind. After all, he has made a promise, but what is the empire now? It is just a government under the compromise of a group of powerful forces. It was difficult for Li to convince himself to devote everything to an empty slogan. Besides, the empire was not short of such people, so it would not make a difference if he lost one.

And now Li had found his own way and path of fighting. In future battles, he would have to use a lot of psychic energy to assist in the battle. Only in this way could he compensate for the weakening of his body.

And if he wanted to improve his psychic energy, or to use psychic energy stably, a healthy body, a happy mood, and a clear mind were essential. Especially after trying the vague echo and fit between the ancient Chinese philosophical thoughts of that world and the cosmic psychic energy of this universe, Li paid more attention to protecting his body.

In short, Li was not as good as before, and his fighting endurance and endurance were greatly reduced. Moreover, fatigue, which had been a state that warriors had maintained for a long time, had now become Li's biggest enemy.

After explaining the matter, Li began to adjust his physical and mental state, which was actually to close the door and sleep with his head covered.

This sleep lasted from the afternoon to the afternoon of the next day, and Li was awakened by a knock at the door.

Li initially closed his eyes and lay on the bed without moving. Naturally, Li hoped to pretend that no one was in the room. If the knocker did not respond after knocking for a while, he would naturally leave.

But he did not expect that the knocker was also very patient. He knocked slowly and rhythmically, as if he would knock the door down forever if no one paid attention.

After the monotonous knocking continued for a long time, Li realized that his sleepiness had been completely destroyed by this hateful knocking. He was awakened from his beautiful dream, and he immediately felt angry.

Li raised his hand and took out the pistol that had been placed under the pillow. He fired at the ceiling above his head and cursed: "Knock, knock, look at your mother! Who is this? Don't you know that disturbing someone's sweet dream is like killing their parents? Where is my orderly? Didn't I ask you to stop the visitor?"

The knocking finally stopped, "Captain Li, it's me!" A female voice responded softly outside the door.

Li was stunned for a moment, then he became even angrier! "I know who you are. Where did the orderly go?"

The woman outside paused for a moment, then said, "It's me, Victoria, Captain Li, can you open the door and talk?"

Li then suddenly realized, oh, it was the little girl Victoria who woke him up for a long time. No wonder when she was asked who she was, instead of revealing her name, she confidently said, "It's me." It's like everyone in the world should know who she is from her voice. Isn't that what it is? In this gate to the wilderness, Victoria is a well-deserved decision-maker in military and political affairs. There are really not many people here who don't know her.

But Li really didn't hear it. On the day he arrived at the Gate of the Wilderness, after arranging everything, he went out according to Victoria's order. To be honest, it's not actually an order. At that time, Victoria only briefly mentioned the current predicament. The fortress group was a huge fortification. It was expected that the enemy would launch a fierce attack, so it was necessary to shrink the army for defense. However, the order was difficult to convey, and radio communications were experiencing huge interference. It was difficult to use it, and the Eldar rangers were moving around again.

Victoria originally said that. Of course, she hoped that the Knights Templar, who were the first to come to aid, could shoulder more of the burden and help her in such a critical moment. Speaking of which, the girl felt very uneasy at that time. After all, the Star Wars Corps and the Defense Force did not belong to the same department. Her title had no control over Li and his group of people. Even if Li and his soldiers had always been She had no choice but to stay on the battleship watching the show.

But she didn't expect that Li just nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." Then he turned around and left. The two of them had not met for ten minutes. Then Li began to assign tasks, and after a while, he himself went out to perform tasks.

"Wait a minute!" Li said, put on his casual clothes and opened the door.

Victoria was wearing a complicated and luxurious aristocratic dress and stood at the door so cutely. There was no trace of embarrassment on her face, but instead she was full of smiles.

Beside her was a trembling orderly with his head lowered.

Apparently, the orderly did not dare to stop Victoria.

"Captain Li is really angry when he wakes up," Victoria smiled and said, "The guy who lives above the commander is really pitiful. What if he is accidentally injured by the commander?"

"It's so easy to be accidentally injured. This is a fortress building. Your Gate of the Wilderness fortress group is so strong that it makes people sigh. Even the walls of ordinary buildings like this are now equipped with steel armor. I'm afraid even cannonballs can't hit it. Come on, my little pistol can't penetrate your ceiling. Uh, look at me, please go ahead."

With that said, Li let Victoria into the room.

As a military facility, there are not many fancy furnishings in the room. Everything is simple, convenient and practical. But even so, the furnishings of the room still show a simple beauty in simplicity. It can be seen that this room It was also done with care.

After letting Victoria into the room, and the two of them sat on the steel bench, Li said: "Your Excellency Victoria, let us tell you directly, what made you put aside your busy schedule and come to me? here?"

"How can you say that? Dealing with written work is a business matter, and communicating with you and getting to know each other is also a business matter, isn't it? Last time we just met briefly, I just briefly mentioned the current difficulties, but I didn't expect You're so...well, helpful, and I'm always grateful for your help."

"There is no need to be grateful. It is natural for me to do this. Since I brought my people here, I naturally strive for victory." Li Frank said: "I am just a warrior. Although I am the leader of the battle group now, But what I am best at is still on the battlefield. If I can do my best to bring us closer to victory, I will naturally try my best to ensure that victory comes as early as possible. "

"I see, that puts me at ease," Victoria patted her chest and said worriedly, "I originally thought that Captain Li had a problem with me and was unwilling to be in the same room with a little girl like me."

"You have thought too much. I have heard a little bit about Victoria, but I only appreciate it, but I don't have any disdain."

"Oh? Appreciation?" Victoria was stunned. She really didn't expect to hear such words from this person.
