Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 285: Death Without Life

This kind of impossible thing might be possible if it were the war wizard in front of him who possesses terrifying power that makes people shudder.

Who can say for sure? After all, the guy in front of him is no ordinary war witch, but a living monster.

Thinking of this, the ranger leader put away his arrogance and asked the rangers in the team. The ranger group is a very loose group. This group is composed of small teams, so there is no unity. With the same intention, more than a dozen people quickly stood up and were willing to follow Zhan Wu back to the battlefield behind him to continue the mission.

Li randomly selected five people. After getting to know each other, he took them deep into the jungle. In the blink of an eye, these six people disappeared from the eyes of many rangers.

There were no hysterical quarrels, no fights for rights, and no shirk of responsibilities. There was just a fearful self-confidence. Zhan Wu showed his confidence in victory with his actions. You don't want to do it? Are you afraid? Okay, you go, go to a safe place, I'll do it.

Then the war wizard disappeared with the five rangers without saying a word.

"Let's go, we also have a mission," the ranger leader said after sighing: "The war is not over yet, we have to prepare for the next destination."

"Is this necessary?" Someone asked: "There are only six of them, I'm afraid they will be killed in an instant."

"Who knows? You can't say for sure about this kind of thing."

***

"From now on, we are a team," Li looked at the five rangers standing around him under the shade of a tree. These rangers were all covered in wide psychic invisibility cloaks. Even they Their faces were covered by a wide hood and mask. Under the hood, only eyes shining with blue light were exposed. Li looked at the five people. They were all in similar attire. He said: "I don't know their names or their genders, but I believe that you are all excellent rangers who have been walking in the stars all year round and faced all kinds of dangerous powerful men, so I also believe that you should know how to obey on the battlefield. and the importance of cooperation. There are no novices here, right?" Li waited for a while, but no one said anything, and then he continued: "No one answered, so good, there are no novices here, and there are no timid weaklings, so, we We can continue the mission well. What we have to complete is a mission that even sixty rangers cannot complete. Among the rangers who left, many people believe that we will definitely die. What do you think? "

"We are not afraid of death," a ranger said: "When we stood up, we were already prepared to die. Lord War Witch, you may have forgotten it, but I have not forgotten that we were on the golden field. What happened, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. You saved my life. You can take my life at any time if you need it."

"Is this because of a debt of gratitude? Are you a soldier of Sam Han?"

"The savages of Samhan are not the only ones who know how to repay kindness," replied the ranger: "After all, gratitude is the least of many virtues, and ingratitude is the worst of vices."

"Ah, that's right." Li nodded and asked, "What about the others?"

"I am a warrior and it is my duty to fight."

"I haven't felt fear for a long time. Nothing can scare me, not even chaos."

"Sir, you also saved my life."

The last ranger blinked at Li and said in a soft voice: "I don't think we will die."

"Oh?" Li looked at the fifth person, "I don't think anyone would be so arrogant. Our enemy is Chaos, and they should never be underestimated."

"I didn't underestimate the enemy. How dare I do this? I haven't lived enough. The warriors of Chaos are all powerful and terrifying beasts." The fifth ranger sighed and said, "But I prefer to believe in you, sir." Power, the power you showed at that moment is simply amazing. When I think about it now, I still tremble. Your Excellency not only has great power, I believe you must also have wisdom that is beyond our reach. I believe you must have a good way to help. We accomplished this mission.”

After these words were spoken, the five rangers had completely different reactions.

"My lord just showed strength? Why didn't I know?"

"It's indeed a very good power, but it doesn't seem to have any practical value, right? It doesn't seem to be useful in combat."

The other two just nodded but did not speak.

"What do you two idiots know? There is no point in explaining to idiots like you, no matter what," the fifth ranger turned to Li and said: "Sir Ryan, since the five of us are standing here, it is enough to prove everything. , so please just say it if you have anything to say, what do you need us to do?”

"Okay," Li smiled and said, "I'm very happy that at least three of the five people in the team have confidence in me. So I'm telling you now, you just need to completely obey my arrangements. There will be no death, yes, you heard it right, we will complete the mission and drive Chaos crazy, but there will be no sacrifice. As long as everything goes well, there will be no sacrifice, as long as you completely obey my arrangements."

Although it is not known whether it is true or not, these words still make the five rangers feel a little excited. Even if they are ready to sacrifice, no one will feel that they have lived enough.

"First of all, let's use simple names to contact each other, which can be regarded as code names between this group. I," Li pointed to himself, "War Witch, and then his finger slid across the nameless ranger. You, one, two, three, four, and five. Number five," Li said to the last fifth ranger, the one with a soft voice, "You are the leader of the five-person ranger team. If an accident occurs, I can't continue to command, and you will lead everyone to continue the action."

"Master War Witch, what should I do at that time?"

"You are the leader at that time, don't ask me."

Number five nodded, indicating that she understood, but her question was not finished yet, and continued to ask: "What if you and I have an accident at the same time?"

"What a bad assumption. Although I don't think it will happen, if that situation really happens, then the action will naturally fail and we will evacuate decisively."

The five people nodded, indicating that they understood.

"Then I will tell you in detail what we are going to do," Li paused here. He looked at the rangers. He was somewhat disappointed that he could not see their expressions. Then he continued, "We must first kill a Chaos patrol. After summoning the demon dog, these Chaos patrols chased our rangers around like dogs, but now we have to let them know that this is not okay. We have to turn around and hunt down their patrols."

The five rangers looked at Li in silence. Although the masks covered their faces and expressions, Li still clearly felt what they meant.

That should be the look they gave the madman.

"Master War Witch, you, you are not kidding?" This was the voice of No. 5. Obviously, even she did not believe the War Witch in front of her.

"I am serious, absolutely not kidding."

There was a reason why more than 60 rangers were chased around by the Chaos patrol like rabbits. Even though each Chaos patrol consists of only a small team, more than a dozen Chaos warriors, and two or three demon dogs, the Rangers still dare not slow down their pace.

If the entire team of sixty Rangers were assembled, it would not be a problem to destroy such a patrol, and it could even be said to be a piece of cake.

Is the Ranger leader not only a selfish coward, but also a fool? This is of course impossible, because there is not just one Chaos patrol, but dozens of patrols are separated by a certain distance, slowly moving forward and searching in the jungle. If any patrol is attacked, it only needs to resist and defend on the spot. The two adjacent patrols will definitely arrive within five minutes, and then entangle the attackers, and then more patrols will swarm in, and the Chaos camps behind the patrols will most likely follow the wind.

To put it simply, these patrols are like sticky tentacles extending from the Chaos camp, sensitive and difficult to get around. If you come into contact with one tentacle, you will soon be entangled by more tentacles that follow, and it will be difficult to get away. The ending will naturally be tragic.

Unless you can quickly cut off the tentacles and get away in a short time, any idea of ​​counterattack is stupid.

The rangers don't have this ability. If they can hide themselves perfectly, a group of rangers want to destroy a Chaos patrol of more than ten people in the case of lurking and sneak attack. This is just like fun, and there is no difficulty at all. However, after the Chaos patrol has the addition of demon dogs, the rangers' stealth ability is completely suppressed. They can't even get close to the Chaos patrol. The demon dogs can find the traces of the rangers from a distance. In this case, sneak attacks and ambushes naturally become impossible. Head-on battles are also courting death, so they can only run away from a distance, and as a result, they can only be chased around.

But now this war wizard is actually going to destroy a patrol of Chaos in order to arouse Chaos's greater anger. Isn't this courting death?

At this moment, No. 5 naturally felt regretful. Li's performance and words were completely different from her thoughts. Under the mask, No. 5 bit her lips in grief and anger, and despair also arose spontaneously.

Is this trip really a death sentence?
