Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"What bad luck! It's the Ghost Guard!"

"Cloverleaf is really doomed this time.***"

In the long war with the Eldar, not to mention the commanders, soldiers like Carter and Tiger have mostly understood the horror of the Eldar. In order to deal with various Eldar, most soldiers have a certain understanding of the Eldar's diverse arms. In most cases, they only need to see the Eldar's dress and weapons to understand what kind of arms these Eldar belong to.

Among the Eldar's diverse legions, the most terrifying ones are probably the Ghost Guards.

Unlike most of the Eldar soldiers, the Ghost Guards are not afraid of death at all. These tall mechanical warriors do not know what fear is. The Eldar's war chiefs will not care too much about the loss of the Ghost Guards, because the Ghost Guards are immortal. These tall, mechanical, bipedal giants are not living creatures, but mechanical giants made entirely of spirit bones by Eldar craftsmen. What makes humans even more unbearable is that there is no cockpit or anything like that in the bodies of these mechanical giants. These giants do not need Eldar to drive them. They are controlled by the spirits of Eldar in a completely different and trembling way.

Unlike the fragile souls of humans, the spirits of Eldar are particularly strong. After death, the spirits of Eldar will not dissipate, but continue to exist as souls.

But if you do nothing and let the Eldar die, their souls will be taken away and devoured by the Eldar's great enemy, the evil god Slaanesh, and they will be tortured by Slaanesh forever. Therefore, their spirit stones can be found on all Eldar. After death, the souls of Eldar will enter the spirit stones, thus avoiding the fate of being devoured by Slaanesh. And the spirit stones of these dead will be brought to the core of the Ark, and the souls of the dead will be merged into the spiritual network of the Ark.

But for the Eldar, death does not mean rest, nor does it mean that they are away from war. When needed, such as in the current war, the souls of the dead will be awakened. Under the guidance of the prophet, the souls of the dead warriors can be separated from the endless circuits and flow into special soul stones.

When these special soul stones are installed in the mechanical bodies of the ghost guards made of spirit bones, these ghost guards will gain the souls and wisdom of the warriors. Although this process makes the Eldar feel disgusted, no one can deny that when the fierce warrior soul and the invulnerable host body form the final combination, the important weapon in the Eldar arsenal is born.

At the same time, this is also the deepest nightmare that the enemies of the Eldar are unable to wake up from.

This white mechanical giant made of spirit bones is not afraid of death at all. They have no pain. The souls of the dead warriors flow in their mechanical bodies. These dead warriors have returned to the battlefield under the call of war, driving a more solid body to destroy all enemies who dare to block the Eldar people's way forward.

The red laser beams of the soldiers had no effect on the ghost guards. The ghost guards were not afraid of the power of such individual weapons. They marched forward fearlessly. Even the battlefield gradually became quiet with the silent footsteps of these fear machines, as if something heavy was pressing on people's hearts, making them breathless.

But at this moment, the deafening sound of artillery suddenly broke the suffocating silence.

"It's the sound of the battle cannon, it's Lehman Ras! It's the Lehman Ras main battle tank!" Just hearing this exciting sound of artillery from a distance made Tiger excited. For the defense army, is there any weapon more reassuring than the Lehman Ras main battle tank? No, there has never been a weapon like the Lehman Ras Main Battle Tank that has been accompanying the defense army for such a long time. It has been serving the defense army with its excellent stability and adaptability to multiple environments. On the battlefield, the sound of the battle cannon of the Lehman Ras Main Battle Tank is often the horn of victory.

Almost nothing can survive the terrifying power of the battle cannon, even if the opponent is a spirit bone machine constructed by the Eldar. The Lehman Ras Main Battle Tank accurately hit the target when it fired for the first time. When the smoke from the explosion dissipated, one of the three suffocating ghost guards had only half of its body left under the bombardment. At this moment, not only the ghost guards were destroyed, but even the fan-shaped land behind the ghost guards turned into a sea of ​​fire. The Eldar who followed the ghost guards were also completely destroyed at the same moment.

But from the moment the Leman Ras main battle tank fired until the smoke cleared and a ghost guard fell, Tiger could not find the Leman Ras main battle tank on the battlefield.

Captain Kallus knew what Taylor was doing without asking: "Don't look for it. On a battlefield like this, the Leman Ras tank would never be exposed to the enemy's sight. It is probably hidden behind a bunker. I guess you don't have much chance to find it. But the Eldar people have probably discovered the location of the tank. The firing just now has probably exposed the location of the tank."

Kalles was right. The ghost guard looked at the ghost guard who fell to the ground with only the lower body wreckage left, and then took another step. However, this time, the two ghost guards changed their shape slightly. The two ghost guards adjusted their formation while marching. After a while, the two ghost guards formed a straight line. The ghost guard in front bent down and put one hand across his chest. A psychic shield flashing with a dark blue color unfolded on the ghost guard's arm. In an instant, a translucent and beautiful psychic shield like crystal appeared in front of the ghost guard.

The ghost guard at the back raised the weapon in his hand, and the blue energy began to accumulate in the weapon.

An oversized shield guard appeared on the battlefield. Obviously, the two ghost guards assigned their responsibilities in an instant. One was responsible for defense, and the other was responsible for finding the enemy and launching an attack.

It seemed like only a few minutes had passed, and it seemed like a whole century had passed. With the efforts of the tank gunner, another shell was sent into the barrel, and the sound of the battle cannon sounded again.

A violent explosion occurred again in front of the ghost guards, but when the smoke cleared, the two ghost guards were still standing on the battlefield unharmed. Unlike the initial sneak attack, this shot hit the ghost guards' psychic shields when the ghost guards were prepared, only leaving cracks on the crystal-like psychic shields, but did not cause substantial damage to these bipedal mechanical giants. However, this fatal second shot had exposed the tanks on the battlefield.

The tank group also understood this, so after the second shot, the tanks began to reverse and retreat, and at the same time began to turn, preparing to escape from this firepower point.

The ghost guard's reaction was a little slow, because the ghost guard's visual system was different from that of ordinary people. In the eyes of the ghost guard, the world was not what it normally was, but a constantly changing picture of the soul. But even so, the Leman Ras main battle tank did not escape the retaliatory counterattack. The hesitation lasted only a few seconds. After a few seconds, the ghost guard accurately locked the target, and the ghost cannon equipped on the ghost guard opened fire.

There was no sound effect. If you must say, at this moment, people could only hear the harsh sound of steel being torn and squeezed.

The ghost cannon concentrated the spiritual energy of the ghost guards on one point, and then suddenly exploded. In a thousandth of a second, this explosion opened the channel between the real world and the chaotic world. The terrible tearing force generated by the boundary of the two worlds can completely destroy any solid enemy. Because this damage starts from the enemy's body, it makes this attack even more terrible. Any solid armor cannot stop this strange attack. The solid and heavy armor of the Lehman Ras main battle tank that can withstand artillery bombardment did not play any defensive role. In an instant, this steel beast was squeezed and torn apart by the tearing force of the two worlds. People could only see a flash of a circular black hole, and then the Lehman Ras main battle tank was like being bitten by some invisible monster. The entire front half of the tank was bitten off by an invisible mouth. The front two-thirds of the tank, together with the gunner and the entire artillery team, suddenly disappeared on the battlefield.

They were dragged into the other dimension by the ghost cannon. No one knew what these poor guys would encounter, and no one was willing to imagine it, because no matter what, they would face something more terrifying than death.

The ghost guards of the Eldar once again took a step forward, but before these giants took a step, the sound of artillery sounded behind the human position.

In an instant, fierce artillery fell from the sky like raindrops, and the entire Eldar army on the front line was drowned by explosions and fire before they even had time to react. In the blink of an eye, the seemingly invincible Eldar were shrouded in the continuous fierce explosion of artillery. Boom boom boom, the explosion roared and screamed on the battlefield, as if vowing to exterminate all life within the explosion range.

"It's a petrified lizard, a petrified lizard self-propelled artillery!" Tiger shouted excitedly.

"Yes," Captain Kallus looked gloomy, without a trace of joy on his face, but only deep worry: "I hope our artillery position is well guarded!"
