Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"To be honest, your answer disappoints me," Li sighed and said, "You were unable to complete the task, which somewhat surprised me. But fortunately, we will not fail because of your mistakes. I will do it now." Not far away, I believe we can come up with a good way to continue the mission."

After ending the communication, the ranger leader sneered and called the people around him to move towards the assembly point provided by Li.

"Your Excellency," a ranger next to the leader said with a worried look: "This is not good. We just refused the Lord War Witch's order abruptly. We haven't even tried it. We will feel a little uncomfortable afterwards. Honorary."

"Are you a fool who walks on the road and only cares about the road and fighting?" the ranger leader asked mercilessly. Naturally, the ranger leader understood what his colleague was worried about, which was different from the spirit race's path. Among other professions above the road, the rangers themselves are a group of spiritual people who are free from the road, loyal to their own desires, and temporarily indulge a small part of their desires. They are temporarily freed from the shackles of the road, and naturally they can be more loyal. Be more independent from your own desires. But this also made them isolated from the entire war machine of the Eldar, making them seem a little out of place.

"Can honor be compared with life? After death, there is really nothing." The ranger leader sighed softly and continued: "Besides, the war wizard is just the master of Oak Pavilion. He It's not the war commander. As long as we leave this area, he can't do anything to us. Even on the battlefield, we don't have to obey him completely. Besides, do we really need to risk our lives? It’s completely unnecessary to fail. Don’t I know our own limits? Is it because of our powerful strength that we can walk among the stars intact?

Of course not. Although the rangers have precise shooting skills and can easily take the lives of distant creatures, they themselves are also fragile. In order to be better concealed, they have sacrificed part of their defense.

"Once the enemy discovers and entangles us, we will definitely die. Our greatest weapon is to be able to walk like the breeze without leaving a trace, attack before the enemy is aware of it, and leave safely, hiding ourselves. Only then can we It is our most powerful weapon, and only the invisible enemy is the most terrifying. But now that we have lost our most powerful weapon, the enemy has found a way to restrain us. Even if the mission continues, it is just a failure and it is meaningless. It’s better to live well than to die, after all, the war on Eden has just begun.”

"But if we do this, it will lead to failure."

"So what if you fail?" the ranger leader asked with a sneer: "This is just one of the many small battlefields above Eden. Even if it fails, it's not a big deal. Even if Oak Pavilion is destroyed, it's not a big deal. It's a big deal. If you think about it carefully, what if we win? This battle is meaningless at all. Our mission is to check the enemy's actions. The original intention of setting up a stronghold like Oak Pavilion is just to facilitate the control of the area. It's just a dynamic thing. It's the mission of the elite army to completely eliminate the enemy. Even if they win, it's just a victory for Zhan Wu. He will build his glory on our bones. How can such a good thing happen? ”

"Of course I understand your concerns and thoughts, sir. It is to some extent so that we people will not be sacrificed in vain. But it is said that the war wizard saved many lives from the desperate battlefield. Not only is he powerful, but he is also powerful in the camp. He is well-received, but you treat him like this, which is a disservice to yourself. "

"Ha, let's just say it to others. As for the war wizard in Oak Pavilion, how many times have you seen him?" The ranger leader shook his head and said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, it seems not even once, let alone those of us wandering around the whole country. The rangers on the battlefield, and in fact the soldiers stationed in Oak Pavilion, have not seen this war wizard a few times. Although his orders and tasks were issued in a timely manner, and he did not make any big mistakes in handling the incident, But thinking about it, he is just a weak guy. Otherwise, why would he not even dare to go out and just hide in the room all day long? Even if this is a rescue, it should be just luck. Luck cannot last forever? Those who keep it up will probably die on the battlefield," the ranger leader said in a nonchalant tone: "There's nothing to worry about."

Although the ranger leader disagreed with Li, a militant war wizard, he still led the team to the place Li requested. Then he saw Li kneeling in the open space in the jungle and sitting in the sun. War witch.

The handsome war wizard just closed his eyes and sat on his knees on a small piece of lawn in the jungle. The sword was placed in the scabbard, and the shadow hid the blade. It was placed next to him at nine o'clock in the morning. The sun shines through the leaves, giving the war witch a warm color. The bird rested on his shoulder unscrupulously, as if there was a non-threatening rock under his feet.

This kind of scene seems to give people a special sense of comfort, as if everyone is far away from the dangerous battlefield at this moment, and it is so peaceful that people can't get excited.

This sense of peace only lingered in the mind of the ranger leader for a second, and then he suddenly woke up from this feeling. In the next moment, he could only feel the panic in his heart like a roaring wave. , the ranger leader felt that his whole body was like a cat that was suddenly frightened, and the hairs all over his body stood up out of fear. At this moment, the ranger leader felt that his scalp was numb.

At this moment, the decisive ranger leader deeply felt what "regret" meant. Was his previous actions a bit hasty, was his words a bit too strong, and why was he so unlucky? Just offended such a powerful monster.

Then the ranger leader looked at the warriors around him. Almost all of them had a comfortable and relaxed look, and there was no need to be defensive. I think they were almost the same as his previous appearance.

Is this a power that mortal creatures should have? It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a terrifying ability is the power of a god.

You know, this is Eden, a battlefield. Life-and-death battles are happening all the time in this world. A moment of negligence can determine a person's life or death. Here, no creature can relax its vigilance, even for a second. Zhong's relaxation also means giving up his own life and handing it over to the other party. On a cruel battlefield, this often means failure and the inevitable death after failure.

The rangers are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. They have seen countless dangers while walking among the stars, and have experienced many unimaginable horrors in the universe. One of them is enough to stir up a world. peaceful. These fighters are the best, but now? But they collectively lost their minds in front of a war wizard and relaxed their vigilance and defense. Even the ranger leader himself was like this. Although he reacted quickly, he understood that at that moment, if the other party wanted to take his life, he had absolutely no room for resistance.

For the first time, the ranger leader deeply felt his own weakness. In front of this terrifying war wizard, he felt like a weak baby. The opponent was already so powerful that he felt completely unable to resist.

But the other party just sat there with his eyes closed. What kind of terrifying power is this? The ranger leader couldn't understand.

Immediately, the war witch opened his eyes, and the sharpness in his eyes pierced out, shattering this beautiful and harmonious scene into pieces. Almost all the rangers present took a breath and woke up from their trance. .

Some people are so confused that they still don’t understand what happened just now, and some people are still recalling the scene of peace between them. These people are happy because they still don’t understand what the previous scene means, but among the rangers There were also smart people, and there was suddenly an emotion called fear in their eyes when they looked at the war witch.

"Although you violated my order, you brought your people back intact. At this moment, I don't want to pursue your failure too much." Li said calmly: "Now, you can take your The people have left. I have marked the destination on your map. Isha will be responsible for allocating your defense areas. You must be prepared. The plan will soon enter the next stage. This time, you only need to It’s just a matter of hiding behind the city wall and shooting accurately without any danger. I believe you and your rangers should be able to do it.”

The ranger leader couldn't understand, "We have retreated, can the plan continue?"

"Yes, the plan will continue. Five people will be left behind," Li said calmly: "I need the assistance of five rangers. Next, it will be up to me and the five rangers to continue the mission. We will firmly attract Capture the attention of these chaotic people and fix their eyes on the east, unable to look away for a moment. "

What a joke, a whole brigade and more than sixty rangers would have a hard time completing the task. This war wizard actually said that it only needed the assistance of five people, and that it could be completed by just six people.

Some people in the ranger team's internal communication channel began to laugh at the war wizard's overestimating words, but some people remained silent, especially the ranger leader, who didn't say a word.
