Chapter 207: His name is Kaifas Kane, a hero of the Empire
The cold weather outside was worse than Kane's most pessimistic expectations, and he even expected it before he fully experienced the bad weather in this icy world.
In fact, he didn't think she was colder than Valhalla or Nuskuamferndumentibus, but he hadn't stepped on the snow in those two places for some time, and his memory had obviously skipped over the worst of the experiences, not to mention the darkness of the place.
"Jurgen, can you still speed up?!" Kane was firing with a Storm Blaster, and to be precise, he was shooting accurately, except that the enemy's heavy trucks had a special bottom that was easier to run over the snow than the Salamanders of the tracked vehicles.
Looking at the slush and thin track marks of the salamanders, you can see that the tower is not suitable for running in the snow, compared to the fast and fierce approach of the enemy, and even a fully loaded truck can be faster than the salamander reconnaissance tank.
"Damn heretic." Kane looked at the smoky things in the distance and followed him, like a vicious dog, and he had no choice. "Run to the base, hurry, hurry!"
Jurgen stepped on the accelerator, kicking up more and more mud and snow, but it didn't get faster, and revs too fast in such weather were just a waste of engine strategy, compared to those heavy trucks that could rely on excellent grip and a thick triangular forklift in front of them to clear the ground.
The snow fog that flies into the sky also appears because of this, and the world's special vehicle snow shovel works very well, but a large part of the snow will be sucked into the shovel and then expelled, which is not good for concealment.
However, the value of mobility in frontal combat is not low, so the Empire's engine is passive, and even with a snow plow installed, the salamander that is not a professional snow plow does not have enough power to open the way, and the situation will only get worse.
The traitors who were spraying white mist were getting closer, and Kane could only pinch his nose and burrow into the salamander's interior to dodge the automatic gun shots, the good news was that the rabble had no heavy weapons, or rather no heavy individual weapons, because Kane had seen heavy missile launchers and heavy explosive bombs hanging from the trucks.
Those Imperial Guards who left their weapons to traitors are really not a pity to die, but Kane is not so mean, in an instant, his heart is really for the dead Imperial soldiers in this world, and those machines that are forced to serve by traitors.
"How long do you have until you get to camp?!" Kane asked, urgently, this was the third time he had asked about this matter today, and it was still a short time, but snow was not only bad news, at this temperature the external shooting would not cause the heat to rise, otherwise the crew members would quickly become a plate of steamed vegetables inside the tank full of iron.
That's what happened, mixed with each other, but Kane just wanted them to run faster, faster!
Forced to calm down and regret his reckless actions, he grabbed the crew member's shoulders as the temperature gradually warmed up, and he had just eaten the sandwich sauce on top of the crew's coat.
In the narrow observation mouth, the white picture flickered constantly, sandbags, trenches, crossings, and rugged mountain roads, they were almost there, the emperor forbid, and Kane had to thank the Lord of Men for a second gift of his luck.
The soldiers of the 597th Regiment in Valhalla raised their weapons, they didn't have time to set up, they just used what the base already had to strengthen the defenses here, this is also fate, if the only regiment of Skadi was here, the deflagration beam would definitely easily penetrate the truck.
"That's it! Those guys can't wear our clothes..."Before Kane could finish speaking, a violent voice appeared, which he was very familiar with, to be precise, he was too familiar, it was a buzz, it was the roar of anti-armor-piercing missiles on the Imperial fortress, and Kane also realized in an instant what he needed to do.
If there is one thing that the hero of the empire has in common with what he advertises on the outside, it is that he definitely has a strong desire to survive that forms the basis of his actions, and it is his love of food, his love of life, and his knowledge of how important it is to be alive that will make him an invincible Keyface Kane, not a nobody who dies on the road of sacrifice.
He slammed himself on the steering wheel, and at this moment he was extremely glad that his usually too high body nestled in the car allowed him to rise with all his strength to meet the driver from the observation position. "Turn! Give me a crutch! ”
His mechanical fingers were very powerful, and they dodged the missiles at the last moment, and the violent vibrations came through the ground, exploded, exploded in the snow, and the armor of the Salamander tank was not heavy, and the fragments would definitely give the crew members a blow if they cracked on their sides...
This time, Kane completely began to take a liking to the bad weather here, and if it weren't for the heavy layer of snow absorbing the fragments, he wouldn't have died, so he wouldn't have died.
But fate is not easy to let go of a person, the narrow mountain road crossing is missed, a sharp turn means that the car is approaching uphill, and Kane's name is also clear to the traitor, and the hero of the empire is the best thing for a traitor.
Killing represents a gift, the attention of the supreme heaven, it can be said that Kane is higher than the war itself, they are not warriors, but believers to please the gods, since Kane is so valuable to take his life has become a more important thing than victory.
When Kane felt that the madmen wouldn't be chasing him at the moment, he leaned out, only to be spared by the shreds of a firearm grazing his cheeks...
He realized that those madmen were unreasonable, this bumpy, strange, crazy rugged mountain range was definitely not easy to climb, they were most likely to die, but they still fought hard?
(I have to mention here that in the eyes of other Xenomorphs, the loyal victims of the Imperial Guard are also crazy people.) )
Kane had to retract into the car, and the bumpy and twisted road was not covered with much snow and was full of dangers, and the mere fact that the remnants of the planet's native landform were distorted by the drastic geological changes was enough to be troublesome, and where it could not be called a road, gravel and protruding stone pillars were everywhere.
The winding roads and the falling snow, more than climbing, made Kane regret more and more at the moment, and at this moment, because his climbing ability was at the limit, a truck reached their side, and the cultists in the car locked on their position with missiles.
It was here that Kane could see how the lunatics fired their weapons, and they used ropes to hold heavy weapons in the bulges on the car, and because they couldn't do the normal duo of fillers and aims, the firing speed became slow, otherwise the slowdown uphill would have been enough for Kane to die.
Kane, of course, wouldn't let the bastard shoot, he got out of the car, pulled the trigger desperately, the projectile fired, and the Seiko blaster tore the head of the cultist heretic, as the blood soaked a corner of the Imperial engine with the shards of the head.
He pulled the trigger before he died, and the roaring missile grazed the side of Kane's head, the heat burning his skin, his temples and his head buzzing, and the projectiles grazed his body and landed on the mountains in the distance, shattering into flames.
Kane also picked up the Storm Bomb and shot at the countless pursuers behind him, he enjoyed being treated like this by the girls, but a bunch of crazy people who liked the power of the Supreme Heaven were spared!
And the emperor blessed, his luck is excellent, the stability of the car is also good, there is no soul problem due to shooting, and there is no death caused by the driver's error, bypassing this difficult place, and Kane's shooting and complicated road conditions have killed most of those crazy believers.
They weren't essentially well-trained, so their cheap lives were squandered with impunity, and now it was only natural that they would die from bombs or bumps on the ground, after all, they were jumping up and down with the Imperial hero Kane.
And it turns out that fate will not make a person unlucky for too long, Kane soon felt a different bump, and then there was a sense of righteousness that the body had not seen for a long time, the emperor blessed, they escaped alive, and then they just entered the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guard!
Kane's shooting was snorting, and he was working harder because of the possibility of survival, but Alan Bair also received his message and sent out the radio, and he asked Kane almost with a roar. "What are you doing?!"
His annoyance was not due to Kane's violation of discipline, as a warrior born in the Imperial Loyal Heir Academy, he had the privilege of violating it, to be precise, they were not superior-subordinate relations, but more special circumstances.
Where he was annoyed was because...
"There's a minefield just laid out in front of you!"
Kane's head didn't stop roaring during this time, not to mention being loved by the cultists, just the undulating amplitude and slope of the mountains made him unbearable, and now he finally came here, and his own people buried bombs?
He had foreseen himself battling a minefield under the chase of heretics, and the entire salamander tank would turn into flaming fragments or fireballs, and he would be wrapped in metal and would not blink a blind eye.
He suppressed the crazy thoughts in his head, lowered his head, his heart was beating, and said to the crew. "I'll drive!"
At the moment, the poor man was bleeding from several sharp turns and his nose was bleeding from hitting the car, and he had to admit that he did a good job, and his clothes were still greasy with Kane's rubbing, and Jurgen... It's hard to describe what this guy looked like before, after all, there aren't many people who can wear the Imperial military uniform with the feeling of a primitive person.
When he stepped on the engine accelerator, to be honest, he trusted this salamander very much, but the current snowy scenery made him really can't help but be afraid, forward, behind is the cultist who wants to eat him alive, in front of him is the dark thunder of his fellow Empire...
"It's a really good day!" Kane almost gritted his teeth, but Alan Bair turned on the radio.
"Calm down, move forward as described by the engineer commander ... Don't get a little wrong, you know? The buzzing of the impetuous sound on the radio made Kane unhappy, but he had to be 100% mentally motivated.
The engineer commander muttered according to the vague positioning of the bird divination. "First 6 o'clock, left, diagonally, 4 o'clock..."
Kane immediately followed the description in his mind with a wealth of experience and boldness, with luck or shelter to move forward quickly, it is difficult to imagine what Kane's head is like now, after all, the psychological pressure of passing through a minefield is enough to break down.
The rest of the crew couldn't help but want to point fingers at Kane's choices, such as the next corner, the lower slope, but they knew that if they interfered with Faense and Kane, then the situation would only get worse.
Secondly, Jurgen looks at those who want to shout out their thoughts with a murderous eye, Kane's greatest luck in his life may be to meet an adjutant like Jurgen, and secondly, to meet the female inquisitor who is willing to sort out his experience and spread it to the Empire.
From this point of view, Kane's "misfortune" in his life may have been caused by him using up all his luck.
But this time it was clear that the Emperor had protected the unfortunate bastard, and after he had ventured through the minefield, Kane admitted for the first time that his heart could beat so fast, so fast!
"Success?" He asked the radio a little hysterically, and the soldier on the other side replied as if he had seen a miracle. "That's right, a minefield of 130 meters is expected, all ... Passed! ”
It's hard to say that it's all luck, Kane is the one who caused the miracle, he is not the coward, on the contrary, his thoughtfulness and fear are the representatives of courage, someone once asked a brave man what courage is, and the brave man replied, courage is to do things, perseverance.
The man asked again, is that courage push-ups?
The brave man replied that there must be change, there must be emotion, and the man asked, "Is that fearless charge counted?"
In the end, the brave man replied, courage is timid, timid perseverance, and the timid will still go after thinking twice, it is courage.
Kane is such a coward, so he can become a hero of the empire, and after the cultists saw Kane stepping through the minefield, they drove recklessly to follow, just an instant, about five or six seconds of shooting, and the explosion also appeared.
Now a miracle has happened again, if the cultist organization of about 40,000 people charges the Empire, those heavy firepower equipment and crazy behavior are enough for an infantry regiment to suffer heavy losses and slow down in the next raid, but Mr. Kane's bravery lures the enemy deeper, so that the enemy's attack can be said to be cracked by him alone!
Kane returned to camp, and to be honest, his thighs were still touching and shaking, but he still maintained his deceptive style, holding his head up.
The soldiers below spread word of mouth, saying that Kane, Kaifas, Kane once again lured the enemy deeper, annihilated the enemy at once, regardless of their own danger, and cooperated with the Sun Lord's strategy to minimize the losses of the Imperial Guard!
The soldiers looked at each other, and then soon, one of them shouted. "Kaifas. Kane! ”
Then someone kept shouting. "Kane, Kaifaces. Kane! Heroes of the Empire! ”
He was taken out of the salamander, and the men and women of the Imperial Guard chanted his name and headed inside the base, leaving only one of Mr. Kane's new saga as an insignificant addition to his great life.
