Chapter 73 The Emperor Is Not Partial
"Run! Run! Don't let those things get close to you, or your soul will be taken away!" Lin Fan and his soldiers were running desperately. The battery backpack that charged the hell gun had already been half-empty. It was completely exhausted an hour ago, and now it needs to be given some time to recharge.
The general appearance of a stormtrooper (I realized I could illustrate it after being reminded by a comment)
"How can there be so many of these things! The throne is up there!" Old Jock complained. When they successfully passed the hall and opened the door to continue exploring deeper, the huge ships piled up layer by layer The empty space in the ship made Lin Fan feel bad.
This hulk wasn't just an Orc's ancient giant battleship put together, but an entire Great Waaagh fleet squeezed into a damn tomb of rubbish. The unimaginable number of orc souls fell like rain from a high place where the top floor could not be seen at a glance, and rushed towards Lin Fan and his party.
After desperately pouring hell gun fire, squeezing physical energy, and even using the potions inside the Stormtroopers' full-body armor, everyone was able to rush out the souls of the orcs who kept squeezing over, and ran at a relatively safe distance. .
But there were also those unlucky ones who were hit by the falling orc souls and fell down without any scars at all. Now Lin Fan was running with this unlucky guy on his shoulders.
"Delia! Hurry up and find the place with the densest energy fluctuations in the subspace!"
"I'm looking, I'm looking!" Delia ran anxiously while using all the instruments in her hands to search for any possible doubts.
But Lin Fan heard some unusual sounds, the dull and rapid sound of gunfire, mixed with the sharp sound of laser blasts. This must be the battle nuns and those stormtroopers. Thinking of this, Lin Fan didn't want to let Delia continue to search for possible subspace nodes. He had to meet up with friendly forces first.
"Delia! Did you hear the gunfire coming from the pipe on the left?"
"Hear it, that's the sound of bolter and hellgun fire."
"Take us to them!"
"Okay! Come with me!"
Delia's mechanically enhanced senses were able to find the right path among these chaotic sounds. After leading everyone through a complex and chaotic area where ships collided with each other, the scenery in front of Lin Fan and others changed from The wild and rough ship style of the orcs was replaced by an imperial ship with a strong religious style and square and regular style.
"Come on! The gunfire is just ahead!"
Everyone stepped up their pace. It can only be said that in such high-intensity running, having a carapace can indeed help you save a lot of energy. Old Jock became more and more fond of these things that he used to call disdainfully: only toy soldiers would wear these shiny armors on the battlefield. This simply told the enemy that I was a big threat and fired at me.
"When you get back, you must apologize to that Stormtrooper buddy and treat him to Reka coffee."
While Old Jock was still thinking wildly, Lin Fan and the others finally saw the source of the gunfire. Gavestin, who had built a temporary position not far away, the Battle Sisters under her command, and the Stormtroopers of the Tribunal were resisting another attack. The attack of batch of souls, and judging from the outlines of those souls, they are obviously former soldiers and sailors on these imperial ships.
The situation of the Sisters of Gavistine was not good either. Several sisters and stormtroopers who suddenly fell without any injuries were dragged to the center of the position for protection. The accompanying medical sisters did their best to protect them. Treating them, even in vain, is better than doing nothing.
"Get closer to the Battle Sister and check the Hellgun energy reserve."
"Charge 15%, sir."
"Enough for us to rush through, for the Emperor!"
Lin Fan held a gun in one hand and the bodies of his comrades in the other and ran towards Gavestin's position, and quickly swept away the souls of the imperial soldiers on the sides of their position.
"Forgive me, we still have a mission." Silently apologizing to the soldiers of the empire, Lin Fan cleared a safe passage for the soldiers behind him.
Sister Gavestin on the battlefield watched Lin Fan's heroic actions and outstanding shooting ability and nodded in approval.
"Cover them, Sister Annis!"
"Yes! Sister!"
The battle nun whose name was called adjusted the flamethrower in her hand and swept the general direction in which Lin Fan and the others were rushing. The scorching promethium burning flames stained the ground for a long time and stirred up the souls who tried to cross. fragments.
Lin Fan also successfully rejoined the friendly forces under the cover of this wall of fire.
"Captain Soap reporting to you."
"No need to be polite, loyal captain." Gavestin looked at Lin Fan who was reporting to her, and asked him what to do now, "These souls are attacking us, we have already killed several sisters, what should we do? ”
"Grand Sister?" The battle sisters on the side couldn't understand. Logically speaking, it should be the Grand Sister Gavistine who has the power to command the entire army, not an ordinary one. Well, it's not ordinary, but it shouldn't be one. The Astra Militarum Captain should provide combat advice.
Gavestin ignored her and just stared at Lin Fan silently with the eyes under his helmet, hoping that this person who was valued by Judge Weisi could bring hope.
"These souls are poor creatures bound to the ship by the blasphemous energy of the warp. Only by destroying the warp nodes that transmit energy can these souls rest in peace. As for your sisters, we have to take them with us. If the nodes are destroyed, their souls will come back again." Lin Fan quickly relayed everything he learned from the Emperor to Sister Govestin.
"Okay, Tahir, check the energy of the warp."
"Sister, the instrument is still in chaos and it is completely impossible to check the energy concentration."
"Then we can only use the old method." Sister Govestin was not angry, but silently took out a white cloth-wrapped Emperor's holy image from the tactical belt of her ivory-white power armor.
Sister Govestin held the Emperor's holy image in both hands, knelt on one knee, and prayed devoutly.
Lin Fan looked at the actions of the sister, just wanting to remind her that the Emperor didn't know where the warp node was, but saw the holy image in Govestin's hand shining with a faint golden light, and turned into a slender shining golden needle, pointing in a direction.
"......" Lin Fan felt that the Emperor was really biased, but he decided to ask the elder sister how she knew.
"What is this?"
"The Emperor's holy image, which contains the pious power accumulated by our sisters through hundreds of years of prayer. In the filth of the warp, it is like a beacon of faith."
"Then I understand." It seems that the Emperor really doesn't know, and Lin Fan decided not to secretly complain about his bias.
"Elder Sister! We are surrounded!" A panicked voice came, and you can hear the wavering of its owner's mind.
Lin Fan and Elder Sister Govistin looked over.
"It's over, this is bad."
As Lin Fan and his men rushed over, the souls of the orcs also surged over. Together with the souls of the imperial soldiers in front, they surrounded the newly joined troops.
