Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 24 Receiving and Hunting Moments
Behind the headless body of Marcus the Word Bearer, Calvin panted heavily.

Black venous blood slowly overflowed from his nasal cavity, dripped down the mask from his chin to the ground drop by drop.

Compared with the Astartes who underwent complex and expensive transformation operations, the Assassins' transformation of Assassins like Calvin was more brutal and extreme.

No genetic modification, no organ transplants.Only the abused hormones and the body on the verge of collapse are the true faces of every Iverson assassin hidden behind his strength.

From the very beginning, these Assassin's Assassins were built based on the product plan of disposable products. Obviously, the possibility of recycling was not considered in the plan.

It is rare among Everson assassins like Calvin to be able to successfully carry out the mission without being burned by the boiling hormones in his body.It was also a surprise for the Assassin Court.

But the disadvantage of using it many times is here, his body is already on the verge of limit, maybe the next battle will be the beginning of collapse.

But he still has one last use value, which is himself.Calvin's blood had already been transformed into a strong acidic liquid, and his normal activities depended on the balance of specific hormones secreted by a gland implanted in his heart.

When the gland failed to detect Calvin's vital signs, it shut down immediately.

In a few seconds, the strong acid all over his body will eat through his muscles, and then the strong acidic blood will come into contact with the soft explosives already implanted in the lower layer of the muscles.

This "human fireworks" is Calvin's last loyalty to the empire.If he really got to that point.

After simply cleaning up the blood stains left by him, Calvin began to rush towards the real goal this time.

The target should already know of his existence, and there will be no chance for tricks. What awaits Calvin is a tough battle.

Inside the ruins, the three of them had apparently successfully obtained the piece of equipment, and the captain personally kept it behind his back, while the other two protected it on both sides.On the way back, the atmosphere among the three was obviously much more relaxed than before. In their eyes, after reuniting with the other two as planned and returning to the warship waiting in orbit, the mission was considered to be successfully completed.

"I hope White doesn't have too much fun. Otherwise, we will wait a long time." Captain Kyle's voice came from the loudspeaker. The hometown of the five people is Colchis, which is also the long-term cooperation between them. An important link.

As one of the few fellow villagers who have been together since the recruit period, it is not easy for the five people in the team to survive until now.Although with the passage of time entering the subspace, the feelings of normal people in them are becoming rarer and rarer.But this fellowship has always been an important pillar for Kyle to maintain himself.

"Marcus will let him put it away, that coward hasn't made any progress after so many years." said Crawford, who was parallel on the left.

"Marcus is so courageous. If Kyle hadn't led you back then, I can't believe he would follow us to overthrow that false emperor!" Ma Wei, the Word Bearer on the right, said.

The three of them walked slowly to the entrance of the ruins in the formation of guards.

"Stop advancing." Captain Kyle suddenly stopped and ordered.

The two team members subconsciously checked the surroundings with the auspicious instrument, and after the search was fruitless, Mavi asked in his hoarse voice after being filtered by the MKⅣ helmet loudspeaker. "What happened, Kyle?"

"Look at your data records. How long ago was the last time you received vital signs from White and Marcus?"

Captain Kyle, who was bigger than the two brothers, asked the two players after a brief thought.

"Brother Kyle, 113 breath cycles ago." Crawford, who was behind Kyle, said first.

"Mine are 134. What do you want to say? Kyle?" Ma Wei, who was at the front of the team, also watched the virtual screen on his helmet glasses.

"There is no signal interference in this ruins, and there has been no signal interference since it landed. The range of activities of White and Marcus has not reached the maximum communication range. Their vital signs disappeared for no reason. I order, check the amount of ammunition. Enter alert Status." Captain Kyle said.

"Maybe it's a device failure? You're too suspicious, my brother." Although the Word Bearers in front of the team were still complaining, they didn't stop checking and counting the status of weapons in their hands, nor did they stop walking.

"Two simultaneous equipment failures? You might as well believe that the false emperor can stand up from the toilet!" This is the answer from Kyle.

"Bang!" There was a dull cracking sound from Ma Wei's feet.An egg-shaped object that was half buried in the mud and the same color as the surroundings was crushed by Mavi, and a new green liquid burst out. The smell is not good, but it can definitely spread far.

"What's this?" Marvie asked.

"Eggs of the sword ruler spider, we are in trouble!" Kyle said.The sword ruler spider, a large social creature with human-like intelligence, has an extremely developed sense of smell, and the smell of broken spider eggs will obviously attract revenge from the entire group.

He began to look nervously at the surrounding vegetation. The unique underground fluorescent grasses swayed quietly with the breeze, and the surrounding environment was temporarily quiet.

But in the distance, there are already small and broken sounds that are rapidly approaching.The sound of dead leaves and rotten wood being pierced kept coming, and Kyle knew that their troubles were coming.

But what concerned him more than this was where the person who put this spider egg here to wait for them was.That guy is the real threat.

Can't wait any longer, the spider group is getting closer and closer to them, once besieged by this group of giant spiders with corrosive saliva, Kyle can't guarantee that there will be no damage at all.Two of the five people were already dead, and for the remaining two, Kyle felt he had an obligation to bring them back alive.

"Find a terrain with a back!" Kyle yelled.The spider swarm had already emerged from the grass, and 7 giant spiders rushed out of the grass at the head of the pack.

The furious giant spiders had the same goal and rushed towards Ma Wei directly.And in the bushes behind them, in the shadowy shadows, there are more of the same kind coming.

"Here! Come closer to me!" Corrival on the left echoed loudly, and started firing short bursts with the bolt gun in his hand. The first wave of sword-foot spiders were killed by the crossfire between him and Mavi.

Kyle turned his head and saw that there was a boulder the size of a rockery behind Corrival, standing next to the wide cave at the entrance of the ruins.He immediately turned to look at Mavi on the other side.Hope he can join the two as soon as possible.

However, a black figure approached from behind Ma Wei, and he was not greedy to kill Ma Wei at once.Instead, he attacked the power pack on the unsuspecting Mavi after getting close enough.

The power claw filled with blue shimmer broke a foot-long gap in the entire power pack with just one blow.The position of the notch is ingenious, just at the intersection of the power source and the backup power, the other party seems to know the structure of this device very well.

Then he walked away with one blow, and instantly disappeared into the grass taller than a person, without giving any chance for Corriv and Kyle in the distance to react.

Only Maev was left standing still, his helmet's dimming visors from lack of energy telling the outcome of the attack.

"Damn bugs!" Ma Wei, who was supposed to join his teammates due to the time difference gained by the firepower of his teammates.Just like that, because of the sudden attack, the electron beam muscles in the entire power armor that lost its energy supply quickly became stiff.

His steps began to falter, and the power armor that used to boost him now became heavy and full of resistance.

After only taking two steps in the direction of Kyle and Crawford, he was caught in the attack of the subsequent spider swarm.

Kyle and Crawford glanced at each other: "Mavi must be brought back. Otherwise, they will be defeated one by one sooner or later." Kyle, who no longer cared about his face, had just sent a signal for help to space, but the spaceship in the meteorite belt never It takes at least 2 hours to receive the signal to approach the orbit to start a new airborne.He couldn't hope much for that.

From another perspective, from the other side of the battlefield, the Assassin Calvin's perspective, he has successfully moved behind the two of Kyle.Just silently waiting for the opportunity for them to go to the rescue again.There is only one chance, and failure to kill the target left behind will completely promote the opponent's determination to give up the single person.

In the following time, it is almost impossible for him to have the opportunity to complete the task. The other party has support, and he is very clear about it; Assassin Calvin has no support, and he himself is very clear.
