Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 368 Heads Rolling (1/2)

In a sentry post on the top of the mountain, several people were waving their arms wildly at the sky. Outside the sentry post, there was a dark crowd of people. The crowd surged and hit the sentry post on the top of the mountain, hitting the wooden door of the sentry post, causing the door to make a banging sound. At the same time, hoarse wails would occasionally come out from the surging crowd.

Li Jiang took the sniper rifle behind him in his hand, sat on the dragon's back and entered the aiming state. At the same time, he clicked his thumb and adjusted the sight to the infrared thermal sensing mode. This mode is particularly suitable for use in dark environments. In this case, the heat emitted by people will make them as conspicuous as candlelight in the dark, but facing the surging crowd, Li can't see anything. [Search for the latest updates below. The crowds that are impacting the sentry post have lost their body temperature, and their blood is no longer flowing in their bodies.

"That's not a person, it's a group of zombies, they're attacking the outpost," Li said in the call channel, "We're here at the right time, Daenerys, can you get these dragons to participate in the attack?"

"Don't worry!" Daenerys put her finger between her lips and blew a whistle in the air, and then the three black dragons circled in the air and suddenly began to dive down. When they were about to approach the ground and almost hit the ground, the black dragons suddenly spread their huge wings, the wings caught the wind, and pulled the black dragons up from the dive, making these black dragons pass by at a very fast speed at low altitude. At the same time, the black dragons opened their mouths, and flames surged from the fire lungs of these black dragons, and then suddenly spewed out from their mouths.

A word written by flames suddenly appeared in the darkness, cutting off the zombies' torrent in half. Then came the second day of the black dragon's swooping, followed by the third day of the black dragon's swooping. After a round of swooping, the zombies on the ground were already divided into four sections by the flames.

The flames protruding from the dragon were not ordinary flames. Along with the flames, there seemed to be some other sticky things that seemed to be combustion aids, so that these flames did not go out even after the dragon's spitting ended. The flames continued to burn, forming three walls of flames on the ground.

Following the three attacks of the dragon, cheers broke out from the outpost.

With the help of the firelight, Daenerys saw the scale of the enemy. She shouted loudly in the team channel: "There are about a thousand people. They have broken through the blockade I set up. How come so many zombies suddenly appeared?"

"Let's go down. We can't do anything here. Daenerys, can your dragon still launch such an attack? If it can come a few more times, things will be simple!"

"It can still launch two attacks. Their fire lungs can only make them emit three violent spittings a day," Daenerys said guiltily: "I'm very sorry, Lord Li, I can't do anything about this."

"No need to apologize, let's go down first."

The three black dragons roared at the same time as if showing off, and then landed in the small courtyard of the small outpost.

"Great! I thought we were completely finished!" A sentinel in leather armor couldn't wait to cautiously walk up to the three black dragons after the dragons descended. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank the Emperor, thank you ... ? How to kill a dead person? "

"No," Li interrupted the officer's neurotic narration and said simply: "We are all the reinforcements you see. No reinforcements are coming here for the time being. As far as I know, there is no sign of reinforcements yet. Daenerys, are you ready to send reinforcements?"

"No," said the Dragon Queen: "Dragon Castle did not receive any signal for help, and the beacon was not transmitted to Dragon Castle. Something must have happened halfway. Perhaps some commanders of the outposts neglected their duties, or they encountered some situations. "

"No message was received? How is it possible? How is this possible? Our beacon has been lit for three whole days," the officer of the outpost suddenly raised his voice and roared: "It's three whole days! How can you be unaware of it! ? "

"Soldier, calm down." Li did not remind the outpost officer. He was really roaring at someone. Obviously, the officer's mind was not normal now.

"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down? If there are reinforcements behind you, we can still be saved. If there are no reinforcements, we are all doomed. We are all finished! You can still run away on these flying lizards, but what should we do? We have no way to retreat!"

"Now that we are here, we will definitely be able to solve the problem. Don't worry, we won't abandon you and run away." While saying this, Li turned around and began to remove the sling and put it on the dragon's back saddle. The equipment on board, first of all, was his new sword. On the Galaxy Wing, Li made some modifications to the Lich Sword he had been fighting on Eden. He changed the hilt, sword grid The swords and decorations have been modified to make the sword look more imperial. Li took out the sword from the scabbard and carefully observed the blade. The blade of Li's sword is still the Lich Sword of the past, but the runes that used to dance on the blade are still there. They have all disappeared, and instead of those runes, there are gorgeous golden streamlined lines. These gorgeous golden lines are attached to the sword body, outlining mysterious patterns. Faintly, Li Neng can Feel the dark golden power flowing under these lines.

On top of Eden, Li used this Lich Sword as a prototype, gathered the power of a huge soul, and sent out the final star-shattering blow.

The burning power of countless souls not only washed away Li's soul, making his soul stronger, but also washed away the Lich Sword in his hand, turning the Lich Sword in his hand, which was originally produced as a standard weapon, into a complete one. Different, in addition to the sword grid with angel wings attached to Li, in the center of the sword grid with two unfolded wings, there is a piece of spiritually decorated paper with psychic fire clay fixed on the sword grid. The words of the Holy Emperor, 'Only death is the end of responsibility' are written on it with psychic words. Under the sword grid is an extended sword hilt wrapped with white cloth. All of these make this sword It turned into a gorgeous work of art. Nowadays, even if an Eldar war wizard holds this sword, he cannot recognize its original appearance.

After checking the edge of the sword and returning it to its sheath, Li hung the blade on his waist, took down the huge luggage from the saddle, and then asked: "Is there any spare room? Two ladies just passed by I’m already a little tired after the long journey. Let’s talk about it in the room first.”

"Can't we just talk here? That's what you nobles are like. Are you trying to do something behind your back? Are you trying to escape?"

"Then go and talk in the hall, or you may wish to talk under the mouths of these black dragons."

The outpost officer sighed and nodded and said, "Okay..."

"First arrange a room for these two ladies to rest."

"Yes, it's in the side room next to the hall. If you have free time, come with me." Then the officer walked towards the post hall and shouted: "Brothers, leave the guard behind, and the two captains will follow." I'm coming!"

After entering the hall, Li casually pulled up a few chairs and sat down, took out the water bag, took a sip of water, then looked at the officers and two captains who entered the hall, and said: "First of all. Let me introduce myself, my name is Li, you can just call me Li, this lady is Jess, and this is Dani.”

"Dany," one of the captains murmured, "it's a bit similar to the name of our Dragon Queen, and she came on a dragon, so she couldn't be the queen, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How could it be the queen? How could the queen come to a place like this with only two people?" After scolding a captain, the officer clasped his breastplate with his hands and said: "I am the mountain guard post The commander, Terry Sandas, these two people are squad leader Hualian and squad leader Geao. Our outpost originally had three squads, with a total of forty soldiers stationed, plus logistics personnel, cooks, and grooms. There were fifty-three people in total. Now there are only a dozen or so left, and one team leader is dead. He was probably the one who hit the wall outside the door before. I don’t know if he was burned to death.”

"What's going on?" Daenerys asked dissatisfied: "Didn't the Queen send a large group of soldiers to blockade the mine area? And the surrounding area has been completely put on alert. How could this happen now? How did the monster break through the blockade?"

"We don't know what's going on. Madam, I'm afraid no one here can answer your question. I only know that a week ago, something happened in the town down the mountain, but no one paid much attention to it at the time. And within three days, the town was completely in chaos. The people in the town had turned into that kind of monster, with infinite strength and madness. They were no longer human at all, their brains were completely damaged, It bites when waiting for someone, and the person bitten will soon develop a fever, and will join the opposite team soon. I have sent away several brothers with my own hands in the past few days, and they are all good players. You guys are just bitten." Terry sighed and continued: "Bows and arrows have no effect on them at all. You can only use blunt weapons such as sledgehammers or meteor hammers to smash their heads. Ordinary swords It has no effect on them. Knight, your sword looks gorgeous, but how many people can it kill? Ten people? Even if it can kill twenty people, there are a total of ten people outside. Thousands of people, each of them powerful, crazy, fearless and tired, how can we fight such a battle?"

"Have you tried to contact the military camp?"

"We sent out nine people within three days, and all of them never came back. I also have a captain who was once a hunter in the mountains. He was suspected of being an undead wizard. He went out alone to look for the wizard who never showed up, but he failed to come back. ." After saying this, Terry squatted down, covered his head with his hands, and said in pain: "I suspect that they are all dead, whether it is the military camp or the people I discharged, they are all dead, the military camp. It is closer to the mine than the town. Now that something has happened in the town, but there is no news from the military camp, it is estimated that all of Her Majesty's large group of soldiers have become such monsters. "

"It shouldn't be a necromancer," Li said. "I have seen this situation before. It may be an evil spirit or a cultist. I need to go out and confirm."

"Wait! You can't go out!" Terry stopped Li and said, "I can't open the gate of the outpost for you alone. Besides, the monsters are piled up outside the door now. If you go out, you will only die!"

"You don't need to open the door." Li waved his hand and swept Terry aside, then quickly walked to the wall of the outpost. Daenerys also followed Li out excitedly, and she ran straight to her Next to the black dragon, he quickly rode on the dragon.

When Li slowly walked up the city wall, three black dragons also rose into the sky behind Li. Li lowered his head and looked at the zombies surging under the city wall like a tide. Looking at their raised heads, wide-open mouths, and outstretched withered arms, he sighed and said: "In the name of the Holy Emperor, I grant Rest in peace." As he spoke, Li pulled out the sharp sword from his waist with one hand and the bolt pistol straddling the other waist with the other hand. First, he fired six consecutive shots, which exploded in an instant. Six heads later, Li Cai jumped into the zombie group amidst the exclamations of the sentries. Then a silver light flashed and severed limbs flew everywhere.

Li moved slowly within a small area, with runes flashing around him from time to time, knocking away the zombies that passed by him. The long sword in his hand was like a dragon, bringing up white rays of light and blowing away the zombies. Zombies are easily killed. Terry stood on the city wall, watching the battle taking place in front of him, his mouth wide open in shock and unable to speak a word. He had never seen such a battle. When this beautiful young man first arrived, he thought that the other party He was just a young nobleman who occasionally came out to earn military merit, but now, he had to completely erase and rewrite his previous impression of this beautiful young man. He had never seen such a warrior, such a terrifying and sharp swordsmanship, in his hands. The sharp sword killed the zombies accurately and effectively. Every time the sword was struck, several heads would roll down. This kind of battle was not so much about killing the enemy as it was about harvesting the enemy. Those terrifying zombies, those terrifying monsters that have died once and stood up again, are no more dangerous to this person than the wheat waiting to be harvested in the rice fields.

Then came the black dragon's swooping breath, and three walls of fire appeared again on the ground. Li worked harder, and soon killed all the zombies around him. The surrounding area was empty, and Li had room to move. The swordsmanship and Xuanqi's pace were unleashed, and the zombies had no chance of touching the corners of Li's clothes. In about ten minutes, Li killed the zombies between the first fire wall and the city wall. They were all naked, and the ground was full of rolling heads and headless corpses.

It wasn't until there was no more standing zombies around him that Li stamped his feet. Then a headless zombie was launched onto the city wall by a force amidst everyone's exclamations, and Li immediately jumped. , just using the tips of his toes on the city wall, he easily jumped onto the city wall.

The sentry who was originally guarding that place took several steps back in panic. Whether it was the headless zombie thrown up by Li or the terrifying fighting power displayed by Li, it was enough to make the young man feel extremely frightened.

Ignoring the reactions of these people, Li walked to the headless zombie. This zombie had its head cut off by Li and was already dead. However, his fingers would still twitch intermittently.

Li gently placed one hand on the zombie's body and closed his eyes at the same time. A faint spiritual light began to flash out in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the unnatural twitching of the zombie's body stopped. This zombie has completely stopped.

Daenerys also walked to the city wall at this time and asked doubtfully: "What, what happened?"

"I just let them rest completely." Li Danran said: "It has been confirmed that it is not an undead wizard, but a plague."

"Plague?" Jess frowned in confusion. She had also seen plague. In fact, it is impossible for people living in the Iron Islands not to have heard of the horror of plague, its huge contagiousness and great lethality. A single plague can completely wipe out the people on several islands, but this is not how plague works. "What plague can cause such an effect?"

No matter how terrible the plague is, it is impossible to turn living people into zombies.

"Of course it's not an ordinary plague. There may be followers of Nurgle active on this planet." Li Zigu said: "Did the situation first appear in the mine?"

"Yes."

"The mines had been controlled by House Greyjoy before this?"

"Yes."

“It seems that this matter is still related to Greyjoy. I am going to go to the mine to take a look. You just stay here and don’t wander around. Just block the gate. I believe these zombies are not able to break through here.
