Warhammer: Start with a dog

Chapter 269 A rare and serious bird-catching discussion and...

"Hmm... So, why do you want me to share my thoughts?"

Lamizane looked at Perturabo in front of him.

"Because your opinion is as important as guiding our next actions. How about this reason?" The dog squinted at his body.

"But. I do like to hear it," his body announced.

"The Destiny Steel is a big ship. Since Magna failed to detect any obvious problems before, and my monitoring of the infirmary did not report abnormal data, it is obvious that either someone has tampered with it, or our target has something special about it. place."

Perturabo raised the tips of his claws and tapped his input device, and a three-dimensional holographic picture of the ship they were on appeared. Of course, some locations were hidden.

"But nothing was lost in the armory, and Sharokin did not have any weapons or equipment when he was sleeping in the training warehouse, so... what kind of conspiracy is someone on our ship carrying out?" Lamizane seemed to have remembered something, and added He looked at an old man.

"Don't look at me, it's not me. Besides, it's not Alpha." The old man in civilian robes looked back at him indifferently. Deep in his eyes, there was a symbolic eye-shaped psychic magic pattern like the one at the bottom of the abyss. It is as active as a flame, showing the invisible confrontation and high-speed operation of something invisible.

Someone withdrew his gaze angrily, and naturally stretched out a hand to the table. The attendant suddenly appeared at the table, filling the chapter leader's cup with hot Reca coffee latte, and then returned to the original place like a breeze. Standing on the ground.

"Okay. Then it's neither of the two." He picked up the cup, took a sip of the familiar taste of Reka coffee, and narrowed his ice-blue eyes with satisfaction, Lamizane began to slowly organize his thoughts.

"Well... we have summarized, organized and analyzed the previous data to compress his possible hiding areas and activity routes to within 15% of the area on the ship." He looked at this exquisite and sparkling three-dimensional hologram Projection moves the eye from one precise structure to another.

"He doesn't have power armor," he said suddenly.

"What?"

"He doesn't have power armor, unlike the other people who were captured!" Lamizane said hurriedly, "The first Emmenut who was captured retained most of his abilities and equipment, and the Thousand Sons hid My own ideas and methods may be different from those of the 19th Legion, and there is little reference... And the second Vannas caught was also a... a Raven Guard, who had his own power armor at the time. "The power armor of the Space Marines is very important to them. It is not only for protection, communication, and movement. It also provides them with shooting assistance, analysis of items, and long-term continuous combat without eating or drinking." Ability, so..."

He hurriedly clicked on the statistical report list in the officers' mess, "The statistics here are starting to be different from those in Vannas."

"Although Vannas didn't touch the normal food at that time, after the inspection, there were clues that he did eat the food in the cafeteria. But this time, Sara was not wearing armor, so he obviously needed food more to maintain his activities. The same data is not reflected in Jin. So the trap we set in the officers' mess didn't catch anything, and the trap in the armory, which allowed us to catch Vanus, didn't have any triggering."

He thought quickly, "So unlike Vannas, who had already surrendered himself to become a member of Chaos at that time, Sharokin was not the kind of person who could take the initiative to rebel. He must also be very wary of the influence of Chaos, so he must be very Care about and will not eat food from unknown sources? And he is known to be a calm, tenacious, extremely patient and cautious warrior..."

"If I were him, I would definitely care about a few things. One is how to get equipment, two is how to get out of here, and three, if the first two are not possible, then how to get food and clean water. And finally, the nutrients required by the Astartes are very special, and a small amount of mortal food cannot sustain the activities of the Space Marines for too long."

Ice blue eyes sparkled with pleasure.

"And we happened to have strengthened security measures several times due to various reasons. The options he has left are indeed not as many as before."

"Here." His fingertips landed on a certain point in the holographic image and enlarged that area. "I have a feeling that we can catch Nikon Sharokin here. - What do you think he likes? Color sack?”

——————————

Crouching in the narrow, damp tube where he usually ate, the Raven Guard suddenly shivered for no apparent reason.

He immediately became alert. In this world of demons transformed into void ships, all causes and effects are closely related. He would not have such an inexplicable feeling of being devoured by greed. Some powerful being must have noticed him. .

Pure black shadows flowed around him full of life, even wanting to melt into his long hair that spread all over the floor. Sarakin gently but firmly refused. The Raven Guard's complexion was now so white and transparent that it was almost visible. When blue blood vessels appeared under his skin, his body temperature became very low, his heartbeat slowed down, and his hair was as black as ink, dimmer than the deepest night.

Time to leave, he thought. While other places may not be safe, it would be even less wise to stay here.

Stuffing the last bits of nutrient-rich soil and fat grass roots into his mouth, the Raven Guard immersed himself in his mind and relaxed his muscles, like some kind of surreal picture that only existed in his imagination, tall and thin. , the pale warrior "sinked" into the shadow under the leaves beside him like a dolphin entering the water.

[We are a step late. 】

Perturabo wandered around here for a while and told Lamizane with certainty, [He just left. 】

【are you sure? 】

[I'm sure, but your idea is right. If you think about it again, where might he go? 】

Standing in the now lush farm on the lower deck of the Destiny Steel, at the junction of the cornfield and the colorful radish field, they stared at the traces of someone who had eaten here for a long time and then hurriedly smoothed the ground. This person did so carefully that If they hadn't arrived in time, these few traces would probably have become blurry after today's first irrigation spray, and presumably would have been eliminated more carefully on weekdays.

[Although there are speculations, a space warrior just depends on eating carrots, nutrient soil and ditch irrigation water... although this is indeed an improved nutrient-rich variety. For a moment, I didn’t know whether to admire him or not. Do I look this terrible? You definitely won't, you look so cute... But it seems normal for crows to be afraid of dogs...]

[What are you mumbling about? 】

[Nothing, I think the next place we should go to is...]

——————————

As the crackling electric sparks of the transmission sounded, the smell of oxidized metal and the figure of the uninvited guest gradually dissipated in the air here. A corn tree in the corn field nearby shook its branches and leaves.

Then it shook again.

Like the weirdest magic, a figure with long black hair "walked out" from the shadow of the narrower leaves of the strong but slender corn stalk.

He stood there for a moment to make sure no one else was here.

It seems that they were indeed discovered here, but they were walking in a hurry, maybe they were chasing him. He should collect some food resources for the next meal as soon as possible and then hide to see the situation...

The moment the Raven Guard's slender pale legs crossed the narrow ditch in the field.

A voice sounded happily.

"I caught you."

Nikony Sharokin didn't even waste time to respond. He leaped high into the air, unleashed all his remaining agility and strength, and struck the triumphant demon with the fastest blow of his life.

"(Gutela swears) Wait, where is Sarakin who is as big as me?!!"
