Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 367: Riding a Dragon (1/2)

Undead?

How can there be undead in this world?

As far as Li knows, there are no undead in the world today. Once a person dies, his fragile soul will dissipate. Of course, there are exceptions. It is said that only the most devout believers and knights loved and protected by the Emperor can be fortunate enough to ascend to the glorious kingdom of the Emperor after death. Their souls will live forever with the kingdom of the Holy Emperor.

The so-called undead wizards are just a group of psychics who are good at driving corpses. The souls of the dead have long dissipated. What continues to move under the psychic power are just some bodies controlled by psychic power. For the psychics of the empire, this is an extremely rare and useless power. There is a shortage of corpse fighters controlled by psychic power. Whether it is reaction, speed, or attack power, they are very lacking. Ordinary people with primitive firearms can easily knock down these corpses. Facing regular troops, these corpses are even more threatening.

Therefore, the Empire rarely allows psychics with the special skill of "controlling corpses" to serve the Empire. First of all, it doesn't look good, and the most important thing is that the strength is too weak. On the battlefield full of artillery fire, even agile veterans are inevitably shot to death, not to mention those zombies and skeletons who are stiff and slow, and can't even lie down. Moreover, modern warfare is not like the ancient battlefield. Soldiers gathered together to form a tight square and launched a fierce charge. This was the way of ancient warfare. It was easy for necromancers to find entangled and piled corpses on a battlefield, but no one would do this in modern warfare. Once the soldiers gathered together and encountered the enemy's artillery attack, it would be a catastrophe, and there were rarely intact corpses. Whether they were blasted into pieces by artillery fire, burned to ashes by hot melt beams, or shot in the head by snipers in the distance, it was difficult for them to leave a complete corpse.

Therefore, on the battlefield today, the skills of the necromancers can only scare some rookies, and their combat skills are simply useless on the battlefield.

But this incident should have nothing to do with this type of psychic. No psychic can control so many corpses at the same time and for a long time.

Li also felt that the development of the situation was a bit strange. He had seen those walking dead people - those zombies. When he saved his daughter, he was chased by zombies in a whole castle. Just by feeling, Li was more inclined to believe that this phenomenon was caused by the demons of Nurgle.

Just like what happened before, a deadly virus can infect living people and turn them into ignorant zombies.

With doubts, Li, Daenerys and Jess. Jenner left the bath together. In the main hall with a dragon flag, the three of them enjoyed a sumptuous candlelight dinner. During the dinner, Daenerys kept talking and laughing with Li, and Li just responded appropriately. At this time, Li's mind was mostly on the new situation, so the leader did not notice that in the candlelight, Daenerys's eyes looking at him became more and more hot.

After the dinner was over and everyone separated, Jess. Jenner did not return to her room. She followed Daenerys directly into her room. After closing the door, she looked at her cheerful sister seriously and said in a deep voice: "Daenerys, you made a huge mistake. Fortunately, it's not too late. We still have a chance to correct this mistake."

Daenerys ignored her sister's warning. She happily jumped to her dressing mirror and began to clean her hair accessories happily in front of the mirror. "What are you talking about? Sister? Isn't everything good?"

Jace stepped forward quickly, suddenly leaped sideways and kicked from behind Daenerys, brushing her pretty face and kicking the mirror in front of Daenerys to pieces. After retracting his foot, Jace said, "You know what I'm talking about, my smart sister, now turn around and look at me carefully, we need to have a good talk!"

"We do need to talk, you broke my favorite mirror!"

"This has nothing to do with the mirror, put away your cleverness, it's useless to me!" Jace Jenner said hatefully, "I know you, my Sister, you have been a tomboy who loves fantasy since you were young. You never wear beautiful clothes and you are always covered in mud. Even if you become the leader of the rebels and tame the dragon with the help of your ancestors, you still like to wear gorgeous armor and fly in the sky. You are just a silly girl who loves illusions. I can allow other things. I can let you not abide by those ridiculous noble etiquette. I allow you to wear armor and ride a dragon to charge at the forefront of the battlefield. These are the adventures you desire. It's okay. But this time, you made a very Big mistake, you are taking a risk you can't afford! You shouldn't provoke Li like this, you don't know how terrible he is! "

"He is a perfect knight, handsome, polite, powerful, and simply my dream lover. I didn't provoke him, I just did what I wanted to do."

"Not true?" Jess. Qinna narrowed his eyes, walked around, and carefully examined Daenerys. After a long time, she exclaimed: "Daenerys, don't joke like this, you can't fall in love with that captain, you just met for the first time today."

"There is a feeling called love at first sight," Daenerys said frankly: "Well, I can't explain it. Anyway, I feel very happy when I see him, as if I have known him for a long time. He is a legend. I have heard you tell me his story. I thought he would be a terrible giant with a scar on his face and a hideous face. But I didn't expect..." Daenerys took a deep breath, sighed with satisfaction and said: "In short, I think he is very good and worth developing. Why, is it not possible?"

"Of course not, absolutely not!"

"He is not married, it seems that he is still single, and I am just a little widow, why not?"

"Oh my God, it's not possible in every aspect," Jace Jenner thought carefully, and then said: "First of all, he is an Alstat, he has made a vow , he will be on the battlefield all his life, and he may die on the battlefield at any time. "

"That is his career, which does not seem to be an objection. "

"Also, he is immortal, you know, a hundred years later, he will still be the same, and you will be old and buried! Even if we don't say a hundred years, let's say fifty years, what should you do after fifty years? "

"Why give up the beautiful present for an uncertain and bad future? I don't care what the future will be like, now I think he is good, and then I want to give it a try. Even if we separate one day, I have never missed a good man. Such a good man is really rare in the world, rich, powerful, and handsome. When things here are over, I will go with him. "

"He is going to the battlefield!"

"Even if I go to hell, I won't Care! He can defeat the enemy. "

"God Emperor, how could I have such a stupid sister, what should I do?" Jess. Qinna was so angry that she fainted. She was a Kalisi assassin. She could disguise herself as anyone and use most languages ​​in the galaxy, including those difficult dialects. She could discuss art with painters, discuss creation with writers, and discuss current affairs with politicians. She had a clever tongue, but every time she faced her sister, she could not use one percent of these abilities. Jess. Qinna was like a dumb mother who doted on her daughter. She only felt anger accumulating in her chest, and her brain turned into a sticky paste, completely unable to think, "By the way, he is not single, he has a woman, and he has a daughter. Do you understand? He You have a family, you can't do this, Daenerys, you can't do such an immoral thing, acting as a third party to break up other people's families? This won't work. "

"It seems to be a bit challenging."

"That's quite challenging. That woman is a chief judge. As long as the other party is unhappy, she can destroy the Iron Islands. Destroy them all! The kind that destroys the planet together!"

"Why have you never heard him talk about his wife?"

"It is said that their relationship is not very good. They have been separated and are now in a cold war."

"Then this is my good opportunity. Intimidation can't stop love!"

Jace. Jenner slapped his forehead with his hand, then sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it, I'm not going to convince you. In short, I tell you clearly that there will be no good results if you do this."

"It's better than regretting it when you are old. "As she said this, Daenerys touched her forehead, where Lee had kissed her. Until now, the hot feeling still remained on her forehead. Thinking of this, a happy silly smile appeared on her face.

Jace Jenner couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the door and walked out.

The conversation between the two naturally ended unhappily.

The next morning, when Lee woke up from his meditation, he first walked to the courtyard alone and performed a set of punches. There was no special routine, and he swung his fists at will. Sometimes he coiled like a giant snake, and sometimes he was like It was like a hawk swooping down, and occasionally like a tiger flying, and finally slowly pushing hands, Tai Chi drawing circles, a set of completely unsystematic boxing, and after Li's body was sweating, he then exercised in the courtyard, push-ups, squats, and sweating all over his body. Li then called the servants, got a bucket of cold water, took off his shirt, and washed his upper body naked.

While washing, Daenerys walked into the courtyard with a plate of breakfast. She looked at Li's body with shining eyes, and after a while, she said, "Lord Li, you are up."

"Well, what are you doing?"

"Breakfast, after breakfast, we can fly directly to the mine by dragon. Since it is in the mountains, it will take a week to take a carriage. If we take a dragon, we can probably arrive at night. "

"Very good, wait a moment," Li said, then he picked up the towel and walked back to the room, dried himself, put on his equipment, and then walked out of the room and said to Daenerys: "Let's go, I'll take the food and eat it on the way, let's try to set off as soon as possible."

The two of them walked around in the castle and soon came to the dragon's nest. Daenerys specially opened up a part of the castle as a place for the dragon to live. Now there are a total of seven black dragons living in this huge castle. At this time, Jace. Qinna has been waiting in front of the dragon's nest for a long time.

It was only now that Li had the opportunity to take a good look at what these giant dragons looked like. The result was nothing special. They were not much different from the dragons in most fantasy game worlds - fat lizards with steam coming out of their nostrils. The smoke seemed like it could spit out fire at any time.

"Do you really want to fly over on these dragons?" Li looked hesitantly. Although such a huge lizard has a pair of big wings, it doesn't look like it is good at flying. "There is no Thunder Eagle airship or Is it a Valkyrie fighter? They won’t fall mid-flight, right?”

"Don't worry, they are all good, Lei Chen, Ah Cao, and Apple!" Under Daenerys's call, the three giant dragons named Lei Chen, Ah Cao, and Apple suddenly flew into the sky. After circling in a circle, it flapped its wings and landed in front of the three people. Daenerys said loudly: "Thunder Dust, Ah Grass, Apple, these two are all friends, smell them and remember the smell of friends!"

Like three obedient puppies, the three giant dragons put their heads in front of Li and Jace, sniffing vigorously, "Okay, listen, they are all friends, now you all get down!" The three giant dragons immediately Lying on the ground obediently, Daenerys turned to Li and Jace and said: "Okay, that's it. Don't be afraid. They already know that you are friends. Go up. The dragon's back is already matched. Saddle, don’t worry, they won’t bite.”

"Why do you feel like you're training these dragons like puppies?"

"Actually, it's almost the same. Once you tame them, you'll know that these dragons are just like puppies. They're all good, obedient children."

"I originally thought that giant dragons should be some intelligent creatures," Li said: "They have powerful power and master the secrets of spiritual energy. They stand at the top of the biological chain and look down at all the creatures in the world. I didn't expect that they are just some that can breathe fire. giant lizard."

"Maybe such a dragon also exists in the universe," Daenerys said with a smile: "After all, the universe is so magical and the galaxy is so vast, anything can happen!"

"You want to come with us too?" Li looked at Daenerys who was standing next to him. Daenerys was wearing a neat adventurer outfit, with a set of red armor on top of the exquisite gray leather armor. , the armor that burns like flames is painted with beautiful dragon patterns. This equipment makes Daenerys look heroic and has a different kind of charm. However, the defensive power is still open to question. Li frowned and said: "You are not a combatant, do you want to go on a reconnaissance mission with us? You have to think carefully, we are not going on an outing this time. Maybe the enemy this time is not something you can handle at all."

"Just for reconnaissance, right? So there may not be a battle. Besides, without me, these flying dragons may not be obedient."

Li looked at Jess Jenner, who shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing he could do.

"Okay," Li said, "But you have to listen to me in everything, do you understand?"

Daenerys stood at attention and saluted and said: "Yes! Sir!"

"I learned from where I learned, the military ceremony is not standard at all. First of all, you take off the armor of you first. This armor is worn on you. ?”

I picked them all last night for free, and this is the result of hard work. Although she secretly regretted it, Daenerys also knew that now was not the time for her to act arrogant. She decisively took off her armor, then walked around in front of Li and asked, "Is this okay?"

"It's barely passable. When you get to the location, you stay with Jace Jenner. You two are responsible for the peripheral observation. By the way, this is for you." With that, Li took out an earplug from his bag. And a small metal ring was given to Daenerys's hand, "This is a communication system. The earplugs are put into the ears, and the ring stays on the wrist. When you need to speak, just press the earplugs lightly with your fingers. , just speak to your wrist, it’s very simple. The channel has been adjusted to the team channel, you can give it a try by saying a few words.”

Daenerys' face flushed, she excitedly put the earplugs into her ears, put on a bracelet for herself, then pressed the earplugs with her fingers, and said cheerfully: "Ahem, can you hear me? Can you hear me? ? Okay, thank you Mr. Li for the gift, I will definitely cherish it!"

"Listen very clearly. Don't get too excited. This is not an outing! The call is over."

"Hear it clearly!"

"Okay, let's set off." With that said, Li walked up to the giant dragon named Ah Cao, looked at it, and then jumped into the saddle on Ah Cao's back. After a while, , three flying dragons soared into the sky, waving their wings, and after circling the castle three times, with a dragon roar, they immediately flew towards the mountains deep in the three islands.

After flying into the sky, Li couldn't help but miss the Thunder Eagle airship more and more. The Thunder Eagle airship not only had a large inner compartment, but it was also a sealed space, at least it would not be blown by the cold wind in the air.

Fortunately, the distance was not too far. After the sun set and the moon rose, the three of them had already arrived at their destination. Even in the dark night, it was extremely clear that on a mountain peak, wolf smoke was burning, lighting up the night sky on the top of the mountain. g
