13: A thousand and one ways to eat bugs
In the Warhammer 40K board game, Death Watch is very popular with players, especially beginners, Terran Space Marines.
There are few troops, few chess pieces, and the (real) general story setting of the ragtag army is more suitable for the player's own story of defending the fortress.
Of course, the more important thing is that the color is simple, except for the shoulders, you can paint it all black...... This is also the reason why Yonesugi has been fond of Deathwatch for a long time.
In addition, Death Watch is set in the rules of the game, which is to specifically fight aliens...... That is, a special wargroup with different situational forces.
After the signing of the "Supreme Divine Covenant between Heaven and Heaven and Heaven and the Universe and Beyond the World...... The bullshit-sounding name is because there are so many things in this world called "Holy Covenant".
The Death Watch Warband is also the Warhammer army that has been supported by the Legion of the Human Revolution Federation the most.
After all, the First Legion of the Human Revolutionary Alliance looks like it is easy to be regarded as a loyal Chaos Force Legion at a glance, and it is easy to be beaten by its own people when it goes to other battlefields.
In addition, the Chaos Four hawkers are also friends in Mishan's circle of friends, and except for Uncle Nurgle, they have all established embassies in the capital world of the Human Revolutionary Federation.
Therefore, the army of the Human Revolution League rarely intervenes in the Warhammer 40K world, the tear between the Empire and Chaos.
It's still good to bully and bully aliens, and the background setting is very high, and the Tyranid Zerg, whose fleet is larger than the galaxy, is the most suitable enemy.
A planet so remote to the Empire that it is almost out of the radiance of the Torch...... This kind of planet is very suitable for players to start a village war.
The stronghold, which houses three Death Watch kill squads, has been attacked by a fleet of Tyranid hives.
No one knows why there is a fortified fortress on such a planet, and there are three killing squads stationed there, or why the fleet of the Tyranid Hive would attack such a desolate world where birds don't.
If there really is a high-dimensional being controlling all this, then that one, or those two, must have forgotten to read the rule book.
According to the Death Watch team guarding the fortress and the attacking Tyranid swarm, they are fighting in the dark in the desolate world.
In the end, I don't know if it was the suppression of Zhiluo or the malice of the god of dice.
As the three death watch killing teams of the human camp, only three people were killed in the battle, a pharmacist, a technical sergeant, and a black watch captain.
The swarm was already gnawing at the last barrier in the heart of the fortress, and an unpleasant rustle echoed through the temple.
Faced with the inevitable end, the three heroic Death Watch warriors had no fear.
They were ready that when the last man was killed, the bombs that had already been prepared would make this temple the most suitable burial ground.
So...... It's really miserable to meet players who can't read the rule book, and it's clear that the best place for Deathwatch is to serve as an advisor to other troops.
Under the guidance of Death Watch, even the big bosses of IG can learn how to deal with effective alien enemies.
As a result, the fortress only had three kill squads, and none of the other auxiliary armies that should be deployed.
(A fourth natural disaster: Okay, okay, my table is so big!) I only have that little in my wallet, so don't dislike it...... οΌ
The sturdy barrier was bitten open by the swarm, and the hive warrior swung his blade at the last three Death Guards.
The last three death guards also picked up their weapons and prepared for the final battle.
At this time, a loud bang suddenly "boomed" from the upper floors of the fortress.
This was followed by a series of rhythmic "thump" thumps that were getting closer and closer, as if something was piercing the entire fortress.
The three last Death Guards glanced at each other, but they were all wearing helmets and couldn't see each other's eyes...... But even through the helmet, they could feel the excitement of their colleagues.
Reinforcements arrived, and the piercing sound was clearly the sound of some kind of special airdrop equipment crashing.
I don't understand why I hit the fortress directly, but it's better to be late than never.
These thoughts just crossed the mind of the last Death Guard, piercing through a metal egg throughout the Death Fortress...... Oh no, the drop bay broke through the vault of the temple and landed with great precision, smashing the Wormtide warriors who rushed to the front into minced meat.
Looking at the egg-shaped airdrop booth with a different painting style from the Empire's airdrop box, the captain of Death Watch, who was painted black all over his body and did not have the original warband logo on his right shoulder, slowly let out a sigh.
It's these guys, steady.
Similarly, the technical sergeants and pharmacists beside the captain, although they had not seen it, had at least heard of the emperor's allies, and they also sighed.
However, before the three of them could finish this breath, the metal egg that landed directly exploded in pieces.
Not only did the Tyranid bugs, which had not been smashed into minced meat, be blown to pieces, but the three relieved Death Watch soldiers were also blown away, and they almost GG with their previous injuries.
"Oh no, I accidentally wounded a friendly soldier, Medic!" The old squad leader of the Second Legion of the Human Revolutionary Alliance, who came out of the airdrop warehouse that would blow itself up, looked at the scene in front of him and hurriedly shouted.
Fortunately, the level of medical soldiers of the Human Revolutionary Federation is good, and with a shot of Uncle Nagel's special medicine, Death Watch, who was almost blown up by the drop warehouse, came to life again.
"Every time I see you, you surprise people, friend!" Regardless of whether he was bombed or not, he was all black, and the Captain of Death Watch's tone couldn't tell whether he was praising or complaining.
"It's you, I didn't expect to meet again." The old squad leader, who seemed to know the captain of the Death Watch, said: "This is a new airdrop warehouse, which is specially designed for use inside the enemy army. β
Not bad in terms of results...... Although the friendly troops were injured by mistake, in fact, at that time, the fortress was already in a state of fall.
"Specifically inside the enemy army? This can cause significant losses! The captain of the Dead Guard was surprised.
"It's okay, it's nothing." The old squad leader said after a while.
The captain of the "......" stubborn guard finally understood what it meant to be really wealthy, and even if it was that group of toilet seats, he didn't dare to casually throw his army into the middle of the enemy army.
Although the effect is good, those that are put in can be recorded as loss units in advance.
It is understandable that such a tactic appeared in IGs, which were already numerically superior, but it was applied to Space Marines...... Local tyrants, thighs begging for hugs.
"It's not that complicated...... old squad leader said with a smile as he took off his helmet.
More than ten minutes later, the Death Watch soldiers who followed the People's Revolutionary Union cooking squad out of the fortress saw the beacons standing around the fortress at some point...... It looks like the beacons used by those bone shelves.
From time to time, a Human-Legged Space Marines appear out of thin air from beneath the beacon.
At first, the three Deathwatch warriors thought it was a novel teleportation device, but it took a few moments before they realized it was a resurrection device.
Soldiers who are damaged in battle on the front lines will be resurrected along with their own armor next to these beacons...... Resurrect the body, forget it, and even the armor and weapons will be restored to their original appearance.
"At present, only our reconnaissance company and cooking company have been endowed with these capabilities, and when the test results come out, they will be popularized to the whole regiment." Said the old squad leader with a service nail in his head.
ββ¦β¦ What are the abilities of the whole group? The dark Captain of the Death Watch gasped.
As a death watchman who had already fought with the army of the People's Revolutionary Union more than once, he knew some of the military establishment of the People's Revolutionary Alliance.
For example, the second legion of the cooking squad leader next to him is a super-large legion of a mixture of space marines and ordinary soldiers, and I heard that the original trainer was a madman from the Krieg Death Legion.
If such a Krieg-style legion gains the ability to be immortal...... I really sympathize with the aliens who are regarded as enemies by this force, and at the same time, I hope that the aliens will die sooner.
While the Captain of Death Watch pondered, the not-so-pleasant bugle sounded on the battlefield.
The old squad leader of the cooking squad who heard this charge put on his helmet, shouldered his weapon and said, "It's time to go." β
Subconsciously followed the captain of the dead guard who picked up the weapon, and suddenly remembered that he did not have the ability to resurrect...... He remembered that once this kind of charging horn sounded on the battlefield where the Second Army of the Revolutionary Union existed, the most capable army on the Imperial side could not keep up with the exhaust of the Second Army.
The only one who can break through with the Second Legion of the Human Revolutionary Federation in this state is the First Glory Legion under the command of the Human Revolutionary Federation.
The legion that seems to believe in the Chaos Horde.
Thinking of the Death Watch captain of the legion, he subconsciously looked at the sky, huh...... Only the flagships of the Second Legion and the First Legion, which were fighting with the Hive Fleet, did not appear.
Fortunately, it didn't show up, and the captain of Death Watch, who had fought with the First Legion of the People's Revolutionary Federation, still remembers the feeling at that time very delicate.
The process of fighting alongside a Chaos Space Marine is a delicate task for a loyal Space Marine.
Relying on his good combat effectiveness, as well as the experience of cooperating with the People's Revolutionary Alliance Legion several times, this Death Watch Captain who was "coerced" in to follow the charge together, with the pharmacist and technical sergeant who experienced this scene for the first time...... Or more able-bodied rushed to the front line of the battle against the Tyranid worms.
As soon as he arrived at the front line, he saw several piles of insect heads piled up high, and the captain remembered that this was the tradition of the People's Revolutionary Alliance Army, which seemed to be called "Jingguan" or something.
It was not a sacrifice to the blood god, but a ritual to show off its own martial arts by the army of the Human Revolutionary Alliance.
Although legend has it that the head of the Jingguan piled up by the army of the Revolutionary Alliance will be taken away by the blood god after the martial arts are revealed, just like collecting garbage.
But legends are just legends after all, and the captain of Death Watch is adamant that there is no such thing.
I saw a space soldier wearing a big red power armor next to a Beijing temple, holding a small notebook in his hand, which seemed to be recording the number of Tyranid heads.
The captain of the Rigid Guard forcibly looked away from himself, as well as the pharmacists and mechanics who followed him (Physics)
Unfortunately, before the captain of the Dead could leave the area with his remaining subordinates, the red-armored Space Marine, who was recording the heads of the Tyranids, noticed the three uninvited guests.
I saw that the red-armored space soldier put away the small notebook in his hand and beckoned and said, "Hey, that fallen angel, come here." β
β¦β¦ When the three Death Watch soldiers heard this, they stopped instantaneously......
The apothecary has a toilet seat on his right shoulder, and it can be seen that his original warband is an Ultramariner of Macurag.
The Tech-Sergeant's right shoulder is a metal palm, which means that the Tech-Sergeant came from one of the Iron Hand sub-regiments before joining Deathwatch.
Therefore, the "fallen angel" called by this suspected Chaos Space Marine, the soldier of the Human Revolution Alliance, must be neither a pharmacist nor a technical sergeant.
According to a player who doesn't read the rule book, the pharmacists and technical sergeants who have survived the previous battlefield are all "new warriors" who have just been transferred from their original warband
Then the fallen angel shouted by the other party is only ......
The pharmacist and the technical sergeant looked at the captain who was walking in front of him with a puzzled look.
Because of someone, some secrets that are very likely to touch the sensitive nerves of some people have been revealed.
For example, there is no secret eternal loyalty, where is our genetic protoplasm? What color is loyalty? Look at my ion gun and power sword to answer these questions.
These "embarrassing loyalists" have all been compiled into jokes by someone, and the Warhammer 40K universe is all there.
Coupled with the prototypes of these "embarrassing loyalty", the Dark Angel Warband of Warhammer 40K also often appeared on the battlefield to attack friendly troops, and gradually, the existence of "fallen angels" was known to many people.
Of course, I only know it in private, and everyone wants to take care of Azi Meow...... The face of Azrael, the supreme mentor of the Dark Angel Warband, or the face of taking care of the weapons in the hands of the angels who have gone crazy and even destroyed their own people, rarely gets the face of the light.
There used to be a Chaos War Gang boss named "Ruthless...... From such a martial arts name, it can be seen that this big guy's paint is also red, mixed with the god of war.
Publicly taunt the Dark Angels Warband, saying that your brother knows your little secret...... Then it became an ordinary show, and the villain was brushed by all kinds of joys.
At present, those who dare to be so embarrassed and loyal, except for the fool sitting in the chair, Killiman Caesar, who just got up and planned to attack Ah Zimeow, is only the friendly forces of the Human Revolutionary Alliance.
Captain Deathwatch, who was exposed by his allies, was so cool in his heart, did he have to be like this...... When this group of people is here, those Deathwings may not dare to do anything, but what about after these friendly troops are gone?
Subconsciously, the fallen angel who hid his past and joined the Death Watch glanced back at the pharmacist and technical sergeant behind him.
As if sensing something, the pharmacist and the technical sergeant took a few steps back and raised their weapons.
Just as the saber-rattling scene of the brotherly wall was about to erupt, the human revolutionary soldier who had no mouth and was suspected of being a Chaos Space Marine, came over and said:
"What are you doing?"
Whether it was the fallen angel, or the pharmacist who once belonged to the Extreme Warband, or the technical sergeant of the Iron Hand Warband, they all glanced at the human revolutionary soldiers who didn't know what was going on with slightly tangled eyes.
The other party can't really be a Chaos Space Marine, right? It is said that the Chaos Space Marines have a problem with their brains...... Especially these fearful ones.
As a result, after the Chaos Space Marines took off their helmets, the guess was instantly hammered.
The Death Watch Fallen Angel, who was still thinking about how to solve the problem of identity exposure, immediately put away his weapon and saluted the girl interstellar soldier in front of him.
Well, the other party is not a Chaos Space Marine, the other party is a Chaos Demon after the ascension...... At the same time, he was also the commander of the First Regiment of the People's Revolutionary Federation.
Although it is unknown why the Great Demon is hiding here in the armor of a normal Space Marine, the fallen angel still pays his respect.
Because the emperor said that the commander of the People's Revolutionary Federation is here to enjoy the treatment of the genetic prototype.
Mi Rin, who knew what the consequences of his words just now, was stunned and said, "What, it's been so long and you're still struggling with a fart, if you can't stay here, you can mess with me." β
As he spoke, he would recommend this fallen angel to be afraid of the eyes, where there is the office of the First Legion.
The Fallen Angel, who thought he was a true loyalist, quickly rejected this "kindness" and asked Mi Rin what the friendly genetic protogens had to order.
"There's nothing else to do, I just want you to help me with the recording work, my sister is testing the new powers, so don't go and join in the fun." As she spoke, Mi Rin gave the three local Space Marines a small notebook in her hand.
"Records?" In fact, this fallen angel is more curious about what the new power is, but this obviously involves the other party's secret...... I'm embarrassed to ask.
"It's the number of these heads, you have to calculate it, and the provincial ones were deducted when they were handed in." Mi Rin said.
"Turn it in?" The Fallen Angel hesitated, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Hasn't the god of war turned the field of war into a company recently, it's all performance! I don't want to be beaten down by those stupid forks who only know how to chop and chop. Mi Rin said seriously.
"......" The expression under the power armor helmet of the fallen angel fell into a kind of confusion and entanglement.
If he guessed correctly, the god of war that the other party said must be referring to the blood god of terror, and he didn't understand what it meant to change the company, but he had a feeling that if he helped the other party here, it would be equivalent to assisting Chaos.
Although it is said that the blood god has always been loyal to the curve, and he is the number one helper of the emperor and his old man in the subspace, ...... But this is like a fallen angel, you can't get it on the surface.
While the fallen angels were entangled, the apothecary of the Extreme War Group opened his mouth and asked, "Does the Blood God Fear Torture also accept the heads of these alien bugs?" β
Instead of using the god of war in Mirin's words, he used the title of the god of blood, and it was clear that the pharmacist, who was not too clear about the situation, was tempting.
Mi Rin, who was not angry because of the pharmacist's temptation, or didn't react to why the other party asked like this, nodded and said: "Well, all the heads are collected, to be precise, as a subspace evil god that exists as a non-entity, the head is just a concept." β
"Similar to the conceptual results of feats, martial feats, and killing."
It sounds a bit like burning paper money, but it's actually burning paper money.
Because it was the operation of the Second Legion, the First Legion didn't come along, and Mi Rin, who was just worried about his sister acting alone and coming with her, couldn't sit still when he saw his head all over the ground.
As Mirin said, these are all achievements! Since the reorganization of the realm of God of War, in addition to the fact that the salesmen of the year-end meeting continue to cut each other down, these achievements are also important things.
An old friend of Mirin, a big demon who changed clones as a new body when he hung up, even packed his head for the sake of performance...... It's really a hated and enviable ability.
After explaining everything, and regardless of the feelings of the Deathwatch trio themselves, Mi Rin forcibly turned the three into temporary workers of the forces of Chaos.
If this is known to the court, the consequences will be tragic, do you really have to jump ship to be afraid of eyes?
The three people who had just been exposed because of the captain's fallen angel identity turned into grasshoppers on a rope in an instant.
Counting the number of heads may seem like a simple task, but if there are hundreds of millions of heads, and they are also required to be accurate to a single digit.
It's a boring task that can make people crazy.
Fortunately, there is also a job to identify whether these organs are heads or not, and as a Death Watch soldier who specializes in fighting alien aliens, this identification work is quite professional.
Captain Deathwatch, who carefully cleaned and sorted the heads, and threw aside the organs that were not the heads, noticed that the organs he had sifted out were not abandoned, but were transported to the rear by special transports.
Seeing this scene, the Captain of the Death Watch pondered his words and asked Mirin, "Are you people collecting the corpses of bugs?" β
"Well, make it into a can." Mi Rin, who was checking the number of heads, said without raising his head.
ββ¦β¦ Can? The captain of Death Watch stopped what he was doing and looked at Mirin with a confused look, feeling as if he had skipped some crucial step.
The pharmacist and technical sergeant, who were also shocked by Mirin's answer, also stopped sorting organs.
"Huh?" Mirin, who noticed the behavior of the three temporary workers touching the fish and paddling, raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?" Do you want to try it? What do you want to taste? Salt and pepper or secret? First of all, it tastes good. β
ββ¦β¦ No, no, no. The captain of the fallen angel hurriedly waved his hand and said, and the pharmacist and technical sergeant showed even more frightened expressions.
Can the Tyranid be eaten? Aren't they all Tyranids eating others? When will it be the turn of that swarm of bugs to be eaten? And can those bugs really eat them?
"Why can't you eat it? Pinching the head and removing the tail is rich in all kinds of biomass, and not being able to eat it is purely a chef's problem. Mi Rin said calmly.
"Could it be...... You make the Tyranid into soldier rations? Captain Fallen Angel continued to ask cautiously.
"I've said it all, it doesn't taste good, aren't you afraid of the soldiers being emotional when you use it as a ration?" Mi Rin said.
"Then why make it into a can?" The captain wondered, "Is it for civilians?" β
"Wow, no wonder you're a fallen angel, this idea is strange enough." After complaining, Mi Rin said, "It is true that canned food is used to eat, but it is not for soldiers or civilians to eat, but to feed insects." β
"Feed the bugs?" The Death Watch trio was stunned.
"Well, recently there is a new legion on the side of the Human Revolutionary Federation, and there is a swarm in the legion." Mi Rin said, "These Tyranid cans are quite suitable for their tastes. β
"Zerg legion?" The plain-looking Captain of the Fallen Angel under the helmet blinked, looking unacceptable......
"Well, that's it." Mi Rin said, glancing at the sky.
The Death Watch trio, who raised their heads with Mirin's gaze, saw a group of flying creatures with tentacles floating slowly in the sky, judging from the shape, it was indeed some kind of zerg, but it was different from the painting style of the Tyranid zerg.
The king insect that flew closest to a few people looked at the mountains of "Jingguan" below, and threw a humanoid creature down with the tentacles under its body.
The free-falling humanoid creature smashed into the mountain of Kyokan.
"Wow! What are you doing, worm! I'm finally good! I'm going to recount when you do that! Seeing that the piled Kyokan was smashed into pieces, and the scattered heads were mixed with other heads that had not yet been calculated, Mi Rin took out his shield axe.
"I can't wait to taste it!" The worm crawled out of the pile of heads, picked up a Tyranid head, put it in its mouth, and crunched it.
"The plain sashimi is awesome, although I prefer the spicy ones." After eating a head in three or two bites, the worm said with a happy face.
For the vast majority of Zerg, eating is the most important thing, and it is a big thing to carry out in a lifetime.
"Wow!! This is my head! I haven't turned it in yet!! Mi Rin swung the shield axe in his hand and rushed towards the worm.
"When you turn it in, you can't eat it at all, wow! You're really here! Feel the power of the Queen of Blades!! "The insect that was cut off by Mi Rin's super solution and one side of the bone wing floated up and sank with Mi Rin.
More calculated numbers of "Kyokan" were shattered by the aftermath of the battle.
Looking at the scene of a Chaos Demon fighting with a suspected humanoid female insect fairy, the Death Watch trio had the feeling that they had just been busy for half a day.
When Mi Rin and Worm started PVP, in the world of Diablo, Mi Shan, who had just teamed up with Dr. Ziegler for PVE, looked at the dinner in his hand with a confused expression...... A few skewers of fat roasted scorpions.
Noticing Missen's tangled eyes, Dr. Ziegler said, "Sorry, this is the most suitable food right now. β
The others are either not edible, or simply cannot handle them at the level of life skills of Rice Shan and Dr. Ziegler.
After taking a bite of the crispy and delicious roasted scorpion, Mishan sighed and said, "I hate eating bugs." β
Although it feels novel to eat it a few times from time to time, I have been eating it for half a month...... Fortunately, after half a month of trekking, Rice Shan and Dr. Ziegler finally reached the edge of the desert, and the air could already feel the cool water vapor from the oasis.
It took so long, mainly because Misr and Dr. Ziegler went to the Magic Tower in the northwest corner of the bleak desert that once belonged to Jordan KΓΌller.
The only exit from the Bleak Desert is located in the south, and the location of these two areas is fixed regardless of how the terrain of the desert changes in the game...... The same is true in reality.
"When you get out of the desert, the first thing you do is find a water source to take a good bath, and then you find some food that has nothing to do with scorpions."
Mishan said.
