Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 508 06.0507: ‘Cat and Bird’

“This is the Sharp Fang Pathfinder Squadron. We have found a path to the hostile bridge.”

“Well done, Sharp Fang Pathfinder Squadron. Upload the specific coordinates. Our main force will be here soon.”

“On the way—”

Suddenly, a tactical knife flying at high speed pierced the hand of the Kroot communication soldier, along with the communication equipment.

“Enemy attack!”

The Kroot immediately raised his gun and aimed at the direction of the flying knife.

Puff!

A muscular man with black armor all over his body and silver armor with chains on his right arm appeared from the opposite direction and directly elbowed up.

The huge force of the genetically modified warrior, combined with the iconic silver arm armor of the Death Watch Silver Armor, directly split the spine of a Kroot in two from the middle.

The other Kroots reacted immediately, swinging the swords on their pulse rifles at Brother Korchagin, but he was quick-witted and grabbed the barrel of the gun, and swept his steel legs at the counterattack with agility and strength that mortals could not achieve.

With a crisp sound, the Kroot with a broken leg was forcibly pinned to the ground by him, and the tactical knife in his hand quickly cut through its throat.

The Kroots on the side rushed forward and tried to kill the genetically modified warrior.

If they were Astartes who had just been promoted from recruits, perhaps their actions would indeed be a considerable threat, but Brother Korchagin was different.

He was a Raven Guard, an experienced Raven Guard from Deathwatch.

He was well aware of the characteristics of these aliens, so he could specifically play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and respond with swift close combat that was also outstanding among Astartes. Every inch of muscle in his fists, feet, elbows and arms became his weapon.

Every swing and collision of the Death Watch arm armor wrapped with chains and shining silver can bring physical heart-wrenching death to the alien.

The two Kroot strong men looked at each other, and rushed up together with a tacit understanding, swinging the pulse rifle with a sword at Brother Korchagin.

Bang!

Brother Korchagin crushed the head of the Kroot he caught with one hand, and the orange-yellow juice splashed everywhere, hanging on the sky eagle on his chest, sticky and greasy, looking very disgusting.

Facing the enemy's charge, he reacted quickly.

Bang! Bang!

The big hands clamped the pulse rifle swung towards his eyes and pulled it back.

Puff!

The blade was stabbed into the big eyeball of another Kroot, which surprised the Kroot wielding the pulse rifle.

Just as the Death Watch Astartes was preparing to fight back against another enemy, the Kroot behind him rushed straight behind him.

The single-molecule tactical knife, which was the size of a machete for ordinary people, turned around in his silver hand at a speed that was difficult for mortal eyes to see, dragging a shadow on his fingertips.

Swish!

Without turning his head, he accurately grabbed the tactical knife and stabbed the chest of the sneak attacking alien.

Astarte pushed the corpse behind him away with great force, and pulled out the tactical knife stained with orange blood from the corpse. Just as he was about to deal with the alien who was about to pull the pulse rifle on him, the alien let go of the pulse rifle.

He took advantage of the opportunity to pull the distance and threw the stinger from his hand at Brother Korchagin at a very fast speed.

The latter dodged sideways, and although he successfully avoided this low-level hidden weapon that could kill with one blow, Kroot also pulled out the ion ball bomb - it wanted to die with it.

Just as the Kroot was about to press the detonation switch.

"Meow!!!"

A half-cat girl pushed open the grille of the ventilation duct and fell from the sky.

The grille hit the Kroot, giving it a big wall-bang that caught it off guard. The heavy grille continued to roll down, hitting its wide webbed hands and knocking down the unactivated bomb.

Yoyo followed closely, scratching the Kroot's face with her sharp hand nails, making a threatening cry, and her eyes shrank into vertical slits, looking very scary.

And this sudden attack from the sky also scared the Kroot.

It screamed in fear, and its face was torn and blood flowed.

In the past years of the Kroot's evolution, as bird-like aliens, they once had a natural enemy, which was a cat-like alien like Yoyo.

The fear engraved in their biological DNA made them stimulate the most primitive risk-avoidance instinct in their bones when facing this kind of biological attack.

The Kroot panicked and made the most primitive resistance in the burning pain on their faces, slapping Yoyo in vain.

Brother Korchagin pulled up the Kroot, and the half-cat girl jumped away from the face of the panicked Kroot.

Astarte lifted the Kroot horizontally above his head, then shouted and exerted force with both hands.

Snap!

The Kroot's spine was broken, and he let out a miserable cry. Without the support and connection of the bones, Astarte tore it hard again, tearing the Kroot in two from the waist.

He left the broken body on the deck that was stained with orange blood, and shook off the residual liquid on his hands.

The Raven Guard wearing a raven-shaped helmet silently looked at the half-cat girl who was huddled aside, still with her hair standing up, staring at him with a wary look.

Then, he slowly took off his helmet and revealed his face.

"Thank you for your help, sub-human." He said.

Seeing that it was the big guy he had seen at the captain's table, Yoyo's eyes changed from vertical pupils to round pupils.

"Oh, it's you. Hello, big guy." She was wearing the Epic crew uniform and still politely returned the greeting.

"Who taught you your hiding skills?" Brother Korchagin thought for a while and finally expressed his doubts.

"Yoyo has no teacher." Yoyo blinked and looked at Astarte with clear eyes:

"In the lower nest, Yoyo will starve if there is nothing to eat. You can only steal from the big house of the ugly and fierce fat man. The fat man is very fierce. Anyone who steals will die if he is caught."

"... You have talent, it is best not to let your talent be wasted. If you want to learn to sneak in one day, you can come to me."

After that, Brother Korchagin put on his raven-shaped helmet again and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Yoyo didn't quite understand what Brother Korchagin meant. She tilted her head and tried to think hard, and her tail behind her swung naturally.

Finally, she shrugged, gave up thinking, and decided to turn around and ask the captain directly, and then got into the ventilation duct again.

——

A large group of fully armed Imperial Navy soldiers rushed into the Epic, and together with the Skitarii who blocked the Kroot offensive like a solid shield, they began to make a big dumpling.

The Epic has a complete closed-circuit network on board. Horatio only needs to find a safe place and insert the Iron Hand's dendrites into the data hole of the bulkhead for daily inspection and maintenance, and he can use his captain's authority to easily retrieve the information in the closed-circuit television network on board.

Although the entire Epic inherits the intricate design tradition of the Imperial warships, no one dares to say that he can really be familiar with everything, but when he "eats" the information, the fog of war in each cabin fades away.

Horatio can easily see the situation in every cabin and corridor where there are probes, and truly achieves "a captain should know his warship well".

In the dark vision, Horatio narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at the Kroot chieftain who led the strong men to rush to the bridge of the Epic.

Very close, after so many twists and turns and so many casualties, they finally found the approximate location of the bridge.

Unfortunately, it twisted and turned in the battleship maze, paid so much cost and time to find the bridge, and Horatio, as the captain, only needed 10 minutes to get close to it.

"Sergeant Major Valina, take the Hell Scouts and follow me, we will intercept the alien leader from the shortcut." His expression at this time has turned into a sneer before the final hunt.
