Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

('

Li smiled bitterly, and even Zhan Zell had a similar feeling. It seemed that his suspicion was true.

As a warrior, and a warrior who fights against various strange enemies and strange and terrifying evil beings in the universe, Li is never afraid of danger, but this does not mean that he does not know how to think. When the whole battle is over, he will look back Look, even Li can see some clues from the seamless and perfect plan woven by the gods. [Search for the latest updates here..]

The combined army of demons marched into Eden together. Their ultimate goal may be the same, but the most important goal is not the same. Behemoth thought that his behavior was very covert and could be regarded as sophisticated, but if even Behemoth Is Heimos also involved in other people's calculations?

This is very possible. The four evil gods are all unfathomable characters. If people at their level want to use Behemoth to arrange a dead end, it will naturally be easy.

Naturally, there is only one person who can break this deadlock, Li Li. If you think about it carefully, just as Noz Elsa saw it, when the Eldar made up their mind to use the Spear of World Destruction to massacre demons and win the battle, when Behemoth was ready to seize the Spear of World Destruction , Li may really be the only one in the entire universe who can break this deadlock.

Possessing a gift from the evil god Slaanesh, on the one hand, Li has tremendous spiritual power, and on the other hand, his soul also possesses some special qualities. For ordinary people, the pressure on the soul that is unbearable does not exist for Ji Li. However, looking back, this is a normal thing. Slaanesh had just been born, and he had destroyed the entire Eldar race. The terrifying evil god who was almost destroyed. The souls of all the dead Eldar people fell into her hands at that time, and she took these souls as her trophies and gave them eternal torture. How could such an evil god think that "the souls of the Eldar people" There are too many souls, will there be pressure?" She will only hunt every spirit soul.

This can also explain Li's last-minute test. The evil gods didn't seem to do anything. They didn't even care too much about this situation, but the test for Li was real. In that extremely dangerous environment, it only took half of Li's will to be weak. The self will be completely erased, completely becoming a waste enslaved by pleasure, and falling into the abyss of pleasure woven by Slaanesh. Once Lee falls, he will become a slave of Slaanesh.

Perhaps this was Slaanesh's trap from the beginning.

Maybe the evil gods have never cared about Eden, all they need is souls!

Yes, how could an existence as powerful as the evil god Naya allow himself to fail? Slaanesh had already failed here once in the beginning. No, if it were an existence like the evil god, they would not regard such a failure as It is a "failure". For them, such failure is just a small setback to increase the fun before reaching the final goal. And since they are already the prey targeted by the other party, their souls can only fall into it in the end. In the control of the evil god.

They have plenty of time for entertainment, and they also have enough patience.

"I didn't expect that my soul would be targeted by the evil god," Li sighed, "I suddenly felt so stressed."

"Either you face traps one after another in front of you, and eventually your soul corrupts and falls into the control of the enemy, or your soul is directly snatched away by the enemy after death. If it is the former, how many times can you endure it? What about the test? No matter how strong a person's will is, there is a limit. Once this limit is exceeded, it will snap like a stretched rubber band, and it will be completely broken, even if you persevere and survive. After going through many hardships and dangers, you will still die in the end. You are a warrior and you will always die on the battlefield. As a result, your soul will still be stolen by Slaanesh," Zhan Zell sighed. : "Compared to me, and compared to those of my miserable compatriots, your situation is more dangerous. Either Slaanesh will be completely eliminated, or you will be completely obliterated by him. The word "obliterate" may not be the right one. Lee will still exist, but as the most valiant warrior in Slaanesh's harem, and the most beloved of her harem, those true banshees will be crazy about you."

"Is there no way out?" Li frowned, "But I don't understand one thing. Why was my soul taken away by Slaanesh after my death? I am not under her jurisdiction, right?"

"After your soul has been washed away by the souls of countless ancestors of the spirit race, can it still be an ordinary soul?" Zhan Zell drank the wine, took out two bottles of wine from the box, and opened it After pouring it on Li, he continued: "Your soul has long been different. Every demon will covet your soul, and your soul also has some characteristics of our clan. In short, I believe that a The old man’s judgment is that you must not die easily, because the truly terrifying enemy is waiting for you after death.”

"Don't worry, I'm not someone who will die easily."

"That's right, even in the most desperate moment, the samurai never gave up the fight. Who in this universe can kill you?"

Li laughed. Regarding this point, he was not as confident as Jenn Zell. Death is an extremely far-reaching and extreme thing, especially on the battlefield, but he has never been afraid of death. Even though there was an evil god who had prepared a place for him in hell, he was not afraid.

Because fear cannot solve the problem. As long as there is an enemy, there is definitely a way to defeat it. Even if the enemy is invincible, there is not only one way.

The two wine glasses collided in the air again, and the green wine flew away with its intoxicating aroma. Under the meaty cliff, the two of them talked about the setting sun in the afternoon and the high silver moon. Hanging, the two talked like this all night. Sometimes Jenn Zell would talk about her past experiences. The universe is so huge, and the mysterious and interesting things Jenn Zell, who loves traveling, encountered could last a whole day and night. There is endless talk; occasionally the two of them will turn the topic to martial arts, and occasionally they will use their fingers to simulate fighting situations on the dining table, until the sky breaks again, a box of wine is drunk, and the two The talent ended the conversation.

"Huh, it's daybreak." Zhan Zell said with a little reluctance: "Thank you for the delicious food. It was an unforgettable meal. I can only finish the wine, otherwise I can continue."

"A thousand cups of wine is too short for a close friend. We didn't even drink a thousand cups this night." Li noticed Zhan Zell's departure and said with a smile, "Maybe you can remember to bring more next time." Here comes the wine.”

"I don't know when the next time will be. Besides, I won't be stupid enough to carry the wine on my back next time. Your winery should be built by then. Then I can just drink the wine you brewed." ”

"That's true. I will definitely prepare food and wine next time."

"Then, it's time to say goodbye," Zhan Zell stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his robe, saluted and said, "May Elsa's loving eyes always look at you. , my friend, I wish you peace and happiness and no misfortune.”

Li also performed an Eldar etiquette and said in the Eldar language: "May the starlight always illuminate your path forward, my friend, may your path forward always be smooth, and may the breeze always blow over your face." Mouth, I have come to bring you news of peace.”

"Then I've said goodbye and I'm leaving."

"etc."

"What's wrong?"

Li walked up to Zhan En Zell with a smile, then opened his arms suddenly, hugged the Phoenix Lord in his arms, and then patted her back vigorously, Zhan En Zell Being held in Li's arms without any defense, and being slapped on the back by Li, Zhan En Zell never expected that this familiar comrade would suddenly do such a thing, and her blood In an instant, everything rushed to her face, and her cheeks became as red as apples in late autumn. Fortunately, the two of them drank wine all night, and her face was already red, but it couldn't be seen from the outside. What's the difference.

After a while, Zhan Zell remembered to break away from Li's embrace, jumped back like a frightened deer, and said in a slight panic: "You, what are you doing? It's really too rude."

"Hey, don't be so rigid. Before, I satisfied you and said goodbye with the etiquette of your spirit tribe. Now I say goodbye with our human language." Li's face was full of purity. He spread his hands and his whole person was frank. The incarnation of the word.

"But you didn't say anything, you, you just..."

"A hug is enough to explain everything. There is no need for nonsense between soldiers," Li replied casually: "A hug when we see each other again, and another when we meet, it's that simple."

"What, what, when we met, you want another one?" Zhan Zell said excitedly: "Sure, it is indeed a group of savage monkeys. No, no, no, no, we should be more civilized. I understand this is It’s your custom, but you might as well say something.”

"Well, my friend, take care."

"Ahem, take care of yourself." With that said, the Phoenix Lord fled quickly under the rising sun, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hehehe!" Li said with a smile and returned to the room, then fell on the bed and started to catch up on his sleep. He was still smiling until he fell asleep.

***

When Li woke up, it was late at night and the sun outside had already set.

He first made himself some food. After he was full, he tidied up the room. He then went to a mountain pool not far away to take a bath in the cool water and put on a pair of casual casual clothes. Then he slowly walked to the cliff with his Lich Sword. Facing the cold night wind, he held the two swords in his hands and knelt down amidst the sound of waves and the night wind in the sea of ​​trees. .

Now, Li needs to think carefully. First of all, he must look at himself and know himself and the enemy. Only then can he survive a hundred battles. If he doesn't even understand himself, how can he fight the enemy?

The first was the power of the body. Li first put the sword aside, knelt down and punched, and then Li's hands disappeared, leaving only afterimages in front of him, and a body coming from the wind. The muffled sound of the body was like low thunder.

Although due to the curse, his physical strength was once reduced to the level of an ordinary person, after a long and cruel battle, during which he continued to exercise, and finally after being washed and baptized by the souls of countless spiritual ancestors, Li Xian's current body has It has made a qualitative leap. Generally speaking, it is far beyond that of ordinary humans.

To be precise, he has reached a peak that an ordinary person can reach after training. If we don't talk about martial arts and just his body, Li is probably about the same as Wu Song who fights tigers with bare hands on Jingyanggang, even if he doesn't use it. Without any martial arts skills or weapons, Li could easily kill a tiger with his bare hands. This was the result of no special training. Today, Li's body looks lean and lean, but the muscles are tightly wrapped around his skeletal body. When he exerts force, the muscles bulge like iron. Now, if Li is asked to have his chest smashed with rocks and his throat held up with a steel gun, it's just like playing.

This somewhat allowed Li to find some of the feelings he had back then. In a daze, Li felt as if he was still that tall giant. The countless strength after the surgery was accumulated in his muscles, and he could exert tremendous power with just a wave of his hand. To deal with those green-skinned orcs, he only needed one punch to smash their green heads into the chest. But in the next moment, he woke up and escaped from this hallucination. Only then did he realize that he had shed a cold sweat.

The side effects of soul fatigue are gradually revealed at this time. Nowadays, it is difficult for Li's spirit to be sustained for a long time, and it is too easy to scatter. If we want to use Taoist words, it is that this person's spirit is not strong. Condensation, unsettled mind.

Li immediately sat upright and switched to a breathing method. He concentrated on breathing. After a while, he calmed down his mind.

After that, Li continued to think. He was indeed much stronger physically. Now he could dig a hole out of the rock under his butt with just one finger. But in reality, it didn't mean much.

No matter how strong my hand is, can it be stronger than the green skin? Can you dismantle mechas with bare hands just by relying on your physical strength? Can you press a fingerprint on the helmet of a Space Marine?

Impossible.

This is also the reason why Li did not focus on physical exercise before, because physical enhancement has almost reached the limit of ordinary people at this point. If you want to strengthen through exercise, you will need long-term investment, but even so , the improvement obtained will not be too great.

People's limits are always there. No matter how you train, you can only gradually get closer to that limit. Just like sprinting, beginners can improve their speed through exercise. But later, after a long period of hard work, The improvement gained from training may only be a few tenths of a second. Once the limit is almost reached, subsequent improvements will become extremely slow.

This is also the reason why space warriors have to undergo surgery. Various powerful genes transplant certain characteristics of those special humans, or those monsters wearing human skin with the genes of the God Emperor, into the bodies of the warriors, allowing them to obtain An opportunity to surpass the limits of human beings, and transplanting genes is only a part of the operation. After that, there will be various other operations, such as a second heart and a third lung. Without them, the strength is too strong and the body is too strong. Strong, without a second heart as a power auxiliary, it is really difficult to drive, even if it is missing one lung, such a big body, such strong muscles, swinging with a punch, such a terrifying power, all need to be driven by breathing, two Is it okay to have a lung? Yes! But when exercising strenuously, you may be out of breath like an asthma patient.

Nowadays, these genes that give warriors inhuman characteristics and allow them to surpass the limits of ordinary people are still in Li's body. Perhaps Li can make himself surpass the limits of ordinary people through exercise, and then usher in a sudden change after breaking through the bottleneck. , thus becoming stronger, but in Li's view, it still has little meaning. He had no way to undergo surgery again, and even if he could, he would not lie on the operating table again and let the mechanical octopuses of the Mechanicum wave their tentacles to piece his body together like a machine.

In short, physical strength is indeed good. The most powerful ones in the universe now are probably the big warlords of the orcs. They are all like monsters, but they are also shot to death indiscriminately? If that doesn't work, there's orbital bombardment. Of course, physical exercise is also needed, but it's definitely not important.

After pure physical strength, it comes to skills and experience. This is Li Xian's strongest point now.

Why did martial arts appear in the first place? It’s not because the enemy is strong and we are weak. The royal family controls salt and iron, and the poor people’s families don’t even have an iron pot, not to mention swords. What should I do if someone wearing armor instead of a sword comes to bully me? Do you treat me as fish and meat? Of course it doesn't work, so this is where fighting skills come into being. Isn't it about hiding the blade with bare hands? Isn't it just to deal with those holding weapons with bare hands? Isn't there penetrating and yin strength? Just to deal with those armor-piercing ones.

To put it simply, martial arts itself is a kind of skill stream, which is created to defeat the strong with the weak. A truly strong and wealthy person would not practice hard martial arts if it were not for his hobbies and interests. If he wanted to fight, he would be able to win with his own strength. If he really couldn't win, he would still be able to call the master. Why did he beat and torture himself so hard when he was surrounded?

Of course, the best way is to rely on the strong to bully the weak. There is no other way to defeat the strong with the weak. That is why Li wore the special uniform of a scout in the previous battle and carried a special sniper rifle, in order to maximize his combat experience, rely on the strong to bully the weak, rely on the power of the equipment and his own skills, and shoot the enemy from a distance.
