Chapter 109: Fear
As soon as the words came out, Eddie himself was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling how easy it was to misunderstand his words.
Sure enough, there was a thunderous laugh from the other side, "Hahahaha, it's only been a few years?" And let me run into an arrogant and ignorant judge. Very good......"
Just as Eddie was at a loss, Furheim strode over and grabbed the communicator, yelling at him, "Shut up, Karg, now I'm in control of this ship, and concentrate on your own business." ”
The naval officers on the bridge looked at each other, waiting for Eddie to come up with an idea. Add shrugged and didn't say anything, acquiescing to the rune priest's words.
The voice on the other side suddenly became quieter, and it only came from one speaker, and it seemed that it had been changed to a single channel communication, "Oh? The three of you completely captured a ship? Although the judges are weak and incompetent, they shouldn't be weak enough to do this, right? ”
Rune Priest was obviously not as fond of arguing as his brothers, "Listen, the moon god closest to you is my ship, the big guy a little farther away is an old creature who rebelled 10,000 years ago, and I heard that there are still signs of our old enemy's activities, and the moon god farther away is the Red Pirate." It's up to you to decide which one to hit first, as long as you don't sink me. ”
"But what about our ambush plan?" Add asked.
"Obviously, seeing that the forces on our side have become so strong, the enemy should have come over a long time ago if there were reinforcements. And so far, the enemy has not even sent a signal for help, right? I think they're more of an idea of running away. So, our task now is to kill them before they escape. Velheim said.
It makes sense to say that if you can't bring more prey into the trap, at least you can't let the prey in front of you escape.
Add looked down and pondered for a moment, as if looking for a reason to refute it, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
At this moment, the bridge door opened, and the old priest Eurix stood outside, covered in blood, "Your Excellency, please come out for a moment. And you, Lieutenant Colonel Ilshan. ”
He glanced meaningfully at the wolves, lowered his head and stepped back silently, disappearing into the shadows of the corridor outside the bridge.
Is there anything you can't report here? Add and I looked at each other, each noticing the other's surprise, and then Eddie bowed slightly to Velheim, saying that the ship was really in your hands for the time being.
Follow Eddie out of the bridge, listening to the hatch slam shut behind me, and suddenly I was a little uncomfortable with being surrounded by darkness. I remember that there used to be lights in the hallway, but now somehow it's almost all turned off. The wide corridor was empty and there were no more people, except for a corner in the distance, where Ah Wei stood, as if guarding against others. Although there was no sign of a fight, the darkness and heavy oppressive atmosphere gave me a vague premonition.
After looking around and making sure that there were no outsiders around, Eurix made an eagle salute with his hands on his chest and said in a deep voice: "First of all, I need to report that after the heroic fighting of the soldiers, we have annihilated the invading enemy. Except for a small group of traitors who escaped through the teleporter on our ship, none of the enemy escaped. Now it only takes two more thorough searches to declare the final victory. ”
The expected victory is nothing to celebrate, and there is no need to be so mysterious. Eddie and I waited quietly for him to say what really needed to be taken seriously.
That must be something that Awei as a judge feels tricky......
"Then, I think you should need to take a look at the ......" The old man reached out from the sleeve of his blood-stained robe, holding a severed skull and a brain-spilled head in his hand, and with his other hand took out a chainsaw sword from inside his robe.
The head is much larger than normal, and it's clearly at the level of a Space Marine - I mean a Chaos Space Marine. The chainsaw sword is also one size longer than the mortal version I have. It seems that these are two normal trophies, and it is easy to get these kinds of things as souvenirs in the fight against Chaos-of course, it is better to turn them in or throw them away, and ordinary soldiers are not allowed to keep such tainted things.
Adimer silently took the head, and looked at it very seriously. To compliment his movements, I took the chainsaw and watched carefully at the only dim light in the hallway.
The Space Marine version of the weapon is much larger than ordinary people, almost twice as heavy, and the power is naturally significantly better, but to be honest, although I am confident that I can use any melee weapon very easily, and even a huge war hammer weighing a ton with the use of psionic energy is not a problem, but the weapon is not the more powerful the more suitable, such as a sword weapon or a little more than a meter is the most suitable for me, after all, light slashing weapons are used to slaughter light infantry, too much power is not necessary, Lightness and balance are comparatively more important. At the moment, this kind of big guy with a length of 1.5 meters is very suitable for the size of a Space Marine, but it is still not efficient enough for me.
However, this does not seem to be the time to evaluate this weapon. The old priest clearly meant something like let's find out what's special about it. I am very disgusted by this kind of mysterious and secret behavior, and if someone in the army dares to do this to his superiors, the consequences must be very strict. But since Eddie didn't say anything at this time, I naturally didn't have a good time talking. Besides, this old man is not my subordinate at all, he is Sylvia's subordinate.
What is special about weapons...... If you don't take into account the rightfully chaotic aura above, what else could be different? Livery? The chaotic eight-pointed star mark that has been scribbled on it is very ordinary, and if you look closely, you can still find the traces that have been worn off underneath, maybe it is a double-headed eagle. There doesn't seem to be anything strange about the grip, the sword body and the like, and the internal power system belongs to Ah Da's domain, so, the blade? I brought the huge chainsaw sword in front of me to take a closer look, and saw that its serrations were not standard metalwork, without any metallic luster or rust, but a crystal white thing. I know that some of the Space Marine warbands like to make all sorts of unique modifications to their weapons, such as salamanders that sometimes swap their chainsaw saws for some sort of black rock from their hometown. But the one in front of me doesn't look like a rock......
"It's Kraken's Fang, a specialty from Fenris. Our captain happens to have two of these, so I know this thing. "Eurix saw that I had discovered the place where I had made the discovery, and explained it to me further.
So, this is a weapon from Fenris, in other words, from the Space Wolf?
I flipped my sword over and looked again, and sure enough, the outline of the polished emblem under the eight-pointed star looked less like a double-headed eagle and more like a wolf's head.
That is, the Space Wolf has ever suffered a defeat at the hands of the Red Pirates? For an interstellar warband that has had a glorious career of 10,000 years, it is indeed an absolute shame to be defeated at the hands of a traitor warband that is only a hundred years old.
This discovery must not be made known to the wolves. Eurix did the right thing.
But if you think about it a little deeper, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal, it's just a mere failure...... Or, to put it mildly, just losing a weapon doesn't necessarily mean a defeat.
I turned to look at Add, and found that his face was grim and terrifying, staring at the huge human head in his hand. Looking at the human head, although the upper half of the skull was broken, there was still thick hair on the broken skull, and the face was also a long, thick beard. As Eddie played, there were two fangs between his lips and teeth!
"This ...... This is ......" My breath choked in my throat, and a strange force oppressed me and I couldn't make a sound anyway.
I felt the fear. Fear squeezed my chest and made it hard for me to breathe and my heartbeat.
I've fought to the death, and I've never been afraid of any foe I've faced, but this time, it's as if I've been back to a moment when I was still a weak child, before I had awakened my psionic talents, and I was so helpless against an angry mammoth.
"Don't be nervous, my brother. Nothing to worry about. "Add patted me on the shoulder with his bloodstained and brain-stained hand, and a gentle psychic energy spread through me, freeing me from the abyss of fear. It's a simple blessing of courage. It regulates the endocrine system, which is disordered by fear, and physiologically protects people from the negative effects of fear. I have given this blessing to the soldiers who accompany me countless times, but I never imagined that I would need it too.
"We all know that traitors who fall into chaos can mutate in all sorts of ways, and it's not uncommon for them to grow tentacles, just two fangs......" Add's self-talk was more like comforting himself, "or possibly, the traitors stole the corpses of the wolf warriors and ...... them with their genetic seeds"
"Please don't fool yourself, young Inquisitor." "You must be well aware that the transformation process of a wild wolf is unique, and no one can steal the genes of a wild wolf. ”
"Yes......" Eddie replied to the old man's words with some weakness, and then asked, "Who else found these things?" ”

Well, the salary has been raised, which is gratifying
But the reward is still indispensable, after all, the entry V is still so far away.
It always feels like the plot has really unfolded in the near future. And the transition plot is very brain-consuming to write, so the speed will be on the line.
Counting the digression, this chapter is actually full of 3k.
