Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Li made a pop on the spot, spurted out a mouthful of blood, fell on his back, and collapsed on the spot - Teng_)

Fortunately, the shadow knight Vergil who had been following Li moved quickly and stretched out his hand to help him, which prevented Li from falling down like this. But even so, Li still began to twitch uncontrollably, and his muscles began to twitch. Every inch was shaking violently, as if there were earthworms crawling under the skin.

"What, what happened to the captain?" Virgil could only look at his captain in shock at this time, helpless. He had never seen his captain so weak before, as if he was lying in Virgil's arms. The one who was killed was not the powerful and invincible leader of a Star Wars regiment, but a fragile patient who could not control himself.

"He's fine. Just lay him flat on the ground and let him bite the scabbard. OK, that's it." Vivien looked at Li, who was twitching on the ground, and then at Virgil, who looked frightened, and then said: " Virgil, I heard that your nickname is the Black Knight. You are the best Shadow Knight in the group. You are the most promising warrior to be promoted to the Shadow Knight in the near future. Look at your appearance now. Are you afraid? "

"I, I don't know, Altitat should be fearless, but," Virgil hesitated for a while, looked at Li biting the scabbard, twitching on the ground, sighed, and then said: "But I originally thought that the leader would never fall."

"There will be such a day. As long as you are a warrior, there will be a day when it ends. You can check the details of what happened in the battle group's terminal. To put it simply, he was stupid in the previous battle."

Such intense convulsions lasted for about ten minutes before Li finally regained his composure, waved his hands feebly, and summoned everyone to evacuate a monastery.

Li first returned to the Silver Wings and summoned the senior leaders of the battle group. After everyone arrived in Li's office, he had people close their doors and said feebly: "Brothers, I am summoning everyone here this time. , to announce a decision of mine."

"Is it about war and our enemies?" Pastor Martin asked.

"Originally, I was threatened by the Tribunal. They wanted me to hand over my daughter and use Li Anjie's life in exchange for the Tribunal's forgiveness. But I didn't think so. The people in the Tribunal thought that their terrifying reputation was They can make us tremble, and their power can make us surrender, but I don’t think so. Li Anjie is my daughter, she is my daughter, if she throws herself into the darkness, I will kill her with my own hands. If she is a good child, then I will protect her. It is not the Inquisition's turn to discipline the children for me. If the Inquisition wants war, I will give them war." Li sighed and said, "This is why I issued an emergency summons to recall everyone to Reach. Due to personal reasons, I am prepared to lead you into a war that is difficult to win and may even lead to ruin."

"This is wrong. You have sworn an oath that you should give up all human pleasures and devote your life to the great cause of protecting mankind." Pastor Martin said in a deep voice: "Brothers in the war group should not sacrifice for one person. Especially if you sacrifice yourself in the civil war with the Inquisition, my lord, I am firmly opposed to this."

"Are we just going to surrender like this?" Jacob raised his voice and said, "We fight for justice, not for weighing the interests."

"You don't have to argue. I said, this was the previous situation, and the situation has changed." Li gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Just now, things changed. My daughter Li Anjie raided the monastery. She built an altar to the evil god and escaped through the altar with the devil. There is no doubt that Li Anjie has betrayed the empire. She betrayed the sacred emperor and also betrayed my trust. This is my responsibility, so I will Resigning as the leader of the Chapter, I propose that you, Roland, take over the position of leader. I will inform the Inquisition of this matter exactly as it is. The war between us and the Inquisition will not happen and I will bear the responsibility. Responsibility, I will take the initiative to leave Eden and start hunting down Anjie Li."

The original target of the Inquisition, Anjie Li, has fallen and fled Eden. As the leader of a war group, Li Anjie voluntarily resigned from his position and assumed full responsibility. On the surface, it seems that the Inquisition cannot bring justice to Reach and the Templars. The group demands too much. Although there is an obvious rift between the Chapter and the Inquisition, the Inquisition will undoubtedly put the Knights Templar in the focus of review, but at least, the Inquisition and the Knights Templar will not A head-on collision occurred during the period and war was averted

"Captain, are you talking about these to outsiders?" Roland said: "No one here is an outsider, they are all brothers of the war group, so I want to hear your truth, but before that, let me tell you When I talk about what is on my mind, I must first make it clear that I will never take over the position of leader of the regiment, because in everyone’s heart, the leader will always be Mr. Li.”

"Thank you, Roland, but this is the best way to deal with it at present, cough cough cough, and I trust you. You are an excellent deputy leader and can also become an excellent leader. Chapter My brothers will rely on you in the future," Li said: "As for my sincerity, I really want to resign as the leader of the chapter. On the one hand, since there is no need to go to war with the Inquisition, then we must make a decision. Take the initiative to give in. Secondly, I really want to leave here and follow the traces of Li Anjie. No matter where she goes, I will find her. Therefore, it will be difficult for me to continue to fulfill my mission for a long time in the future. It is your duty, Roland, and at a time like this you must shoulder the burden."

"Captain Li, are you really going to hunt down Anjie Li?" Jacob, the director of the think tank, stood up and said, "Captain Li, you should know that she is not only your daughter, but also my disciple. , I won’t allow such a thing.”

"Haha, of course it's impossible. She is my only daughter." Li sighed and said, "I want to save her and take her back from the hands of Chaos."

"Is this," Pastor Martin asked hesitantly, "possible?"

"I know it's difficult. There has never been a successful example, but I have to give it a try. Even if there is only one chance in 10,000, I will make 10,000 percent effort. She is my relative. , I must try my best to save her."

"Sir, you can't do this," Pastor Martin stopped him, "Going into chaos to save people, this is simply..."

"It's not chaos, but a gray world," Li said. "A gray world located in the gap between chaos and reality. In that kind of place, I still have a chance."

"The chance, one in 10,000, or one in 100,000? The gray world is only a little better than the chaotic world. Such a small chance is meaningless at all," Pastor Martin said sadly: "Captain, You can't do this, you are setting yourself up for death, you are an Alstadt, you swore an oath, you should protect all mankind, not just one person."

"She is my daughter. She only has me as a father, and humans have many Alstats." Li said seriously: "I must do this."

"Then I will go with you," Black Knight Virgil suddenly said: "It will definitely be interesting to enter the gray world and fight against demons."

"And me, it's a pity that I couldn't get involved with the Tribunal. I've long been unhappy with those people."

"Captain Li, you just give orders. We sword knights just ask where the enemy is, never caring about who the enemy is or how many enemies there are."

Li glanced at the giants in the room. Many of them were once his students. Now, they have grown into brothers who can stand on their own and protect their own backs. "I thank you, but for doing this That's not possible," Li vetoed everyone's suggestion and said, "This is my private matter. I can't let you take risks with me just for this matter. Pastor Martin is right, you are warriors who protect all mankind, no? I am a warrior alone”

"You are right, Commander," Pastor Martin sighed: "I hope you know that I am not against you. I just want to try my best to preserve the precious fighting force of the Knights Templar for you. Although I I can't go on an adventure with you, but I hope you can accept this." Pastor Martin took off a bead ring on his wrist and placed it in front of Li. "This is my rose bead ring, given by my mentor. It is given to me. It is said that the wearer can receive the blessing of the Holy Emperor. This bracelet has been my lucky charm all these years. Now it is given to you. I hope it can bring you luck in battle."

"Thank you, Pastor Martin." Li put the bracelet on his hand and looked at it. The bracelet was simple and simple, but there was no energy fluctuation on it. Maybe it was just as Martin said, it was a lucky thing. Li smiled and thanked him and said, "I like it very much. I think it can bring me luck."

"And me, I won't give you anything, but you should let me go with you," Jacob said aloud: "I am Li Anjie's master, and I am also responsible for her behavior. I must admit that I I did not fulfill my responsibilities as a master for a period of time. I did not discover the problem in time. It was my negligence that allowed the devil to take advantage of it."

"Yabu Ge, you are the head of the think tank of the war group. There is an old proverb, 'The master leads the door, and the practice lies in the individual.' Even if you are Li Anjie's master, it does not mean that you have to take care of her forever. Li Anjie's matter is not your responsibility. What are you looking at? Ahem, don't you think that I will definitely die this time? Haha, you just underestimate your leader? Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me at all. I have a comprehensive plan. My plan, believe me, I will succeed." Seeing that everyone still wanted to speak, Li waved his hands directly, closed his eyes and said, "The matter is settled, I will leave on the Black Rose later, I During this period of absence, the Chapter and Reach will rely on you. Don't relax. I don't want to see the Chapter without any improvement when I come back." Everyone in the room suddenly stood up and saluted.

"I'm tired, just say goodbye here"

After following Li into the Black Rose, Vivian asked: "Do you really have a plan to win this time?"

"What do you think?"

"I think you are talking nonsense. You have no plan to win at all. If you go this time," Vivian paused, then said: "You are basically going to die, don't you see? Something is wrong, it is very possible. Just like the last time you were in Eden, this time is also a trap for the enemy."

"I understand, I know very well that something is wrong. The right poison in my body, the persecution from the enemy, the actions of the Tribunal, why Li Anjie left voluntarily, all of these are wrong." Li sighed and said, "It's too much of a coincidence. Things are coming one after another, making people dizzy and unable to think. But now I have no choice. The stage has been set up and I have to go on stage. Angie Lee only has a father like me."

"She also has a mother"

"I can't trust her, and I'm afraid it will be a big event this time. Even I don't have much confidence. If Elizabeth goes, it will be in vain."

"I want to go with you, brother. You know, I want to go to the battlefield with you and face all kinds of dangers. As long as I am by your side, I have never been afraid. But, I'm sorry, brother, I'm really sorry. Feel sorry"

"You have always been brave. I know this. It's just that you can't leave Reach. I know very well that there is no need to apologize for this."

"No, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you won't come back." Vivien stared at Li, and some liquid slowly flowed out of Vivien's eyes, "You should know that if you leave for another ten thousand years, I'm going crazy, really, I'm going crazy."

"I will be back, ahem, this time, I really am not lying to you, I know it well, I have a plan." Li smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and said proudly: "A really big plan."

Vivien burst into tears and laughed, "I just hope this is true."

"Hey, have some faith in your brother. By the way, what's flowing out of your eyes? Tears?"

“Just engine oil”

***

The matter was quickly decided. With Vivien's help, Li quickly found the approximate location of "Shanxi", a planet located in a galaxy on the edge of the "Emperor's Wrath".

The Emperor's Wrath is a huge alien space storm area, and its coverage range is measured in light years. For a long time, the alien space storm that enveloped this area has not dissipated. It is said that the origin of this strange subspace storm is At the end of the Age of Apostasy, the sudden emergence of subspace directly destroyed the traitors of the Empire. The then Supreme Archon Vandire sent to destroy Dimamo's fleet. Afterwards, the senior officials believed that this was the result of the emperor's action, and this storm was The area is named Emperor's Furious Waves. Of course, no one knows the truth.

And now this area has become a veritable no-navigation zone. This area is a veritable death place for any imperial ship. In the alien space storm, the navigator cannot make accurate navigation for the ship. , and the energy flow in the different space will become violent, chaotic, and unpredictable. It may only take a moment of negligence to make the ship drift in the different space forever.

And the violent alien space storm will make the space level become fragile and unstable. Maybe one second, this place was still the real universe, and the next moment, the chaotic space has swallowed up this place. No one can say I don’t know what is going on. Sometimes the cracks in the space open and sometimes close. At certain times, this place will become the intersection of reality and chaos. Under certain special circumstances, reality and illusion will be in the same world. among

Shanxi is located relatively close to the Emperor's Raging Waves, and is in a veritable danger zone. It may only take a wave to sweep away any ship that dares to sail in this area.

Fortunately, Li's ship is not an imperial warship in the ordinary sense. The Black Rose was originally designed to enter many extreme cosmic environments for exploration. It is a veritable exploration ship. , so the threat of the emperor's wrath is not that great to Li. What really worries him is a message that Li received after his ship entered the galaxy where Shanxi is located.

The message is very brief: "Please report your location and I will meet you soon."

It’s just that the sender of the message is a little special, it’s Elizabeth

At this time, what does this woman want to do?

Li was not sure what Elizabeth was thinking. Even whether this woman loved her daughter Li Anjie like an ordinary mother, Li could not confirm this. If the previous Elizabeth was just a serious and responsible person in Li's eyes, , the words of the jealous prosecutor, then Elizabeth is now completely hidden in the fog, turning into a creature that Li can't understand at all. Li has no idea what is going on in this woman's mind.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation seems to be no longer bad. She is alone and has resigned from the position of leader of the regiment. Moreover, judging from the current physical condition, the combat effectiveness has also declined greatly. It seems that there is nothing worthy of this woman's plot. Yes

Who cares, it can’t be bad anyway

At the edge of the galaxy, Li sent out a gathering signal. Sure enough, as Elizabeth said, she arrived quickly. Three days later, Elizabeth took the "Justice Flame" and slowly slid to the Black Rose. Not far away, an airship shot out from the Flame of Justice. After a while, Elizabeth boarded Lee's Black Rose.

"How dare you come to me," Li coughed twice, and then continued: "I really admire your courage. If it weren't for the preparation for the next battle, I would kill you now."
