Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 22 "Death in Battle"

……

Lawn didn't know what happened at this time, he was walking on the bottom nest road under Gray's guard.

"I thought I was doomed, but I didn't expect that there were still people who integrated all the positions on the defense line. It's really the emperor's blessing."

"Yes."

"You must have been fighting for a long time. Is the power armor on your body an ancient relic dug out from the bottom lair?"

"Yes."

"You are lucky."

"Yes."

Lawn spoke and Gray listened, and the two walked forward.

After walking a certain distance, Lawn suddenly felt tired. He turned around and asked Gray, "Why didn't you call the transport plane over? How long will it take us to walk, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish the journey in a year."

"Yes." Gray nodded again as before, and this time enraged Lawn.

Before, Lawn could be regarded as Gray was struggling in his heart, so he was not in the mood to talk nonsense, and it didn't matter if he kept saying yes.

But now we are talking about business, Gray is still yes, which is unbearable.

"Watch your attitude, soldier," Lawn reminded.

"Yes." Gray raised his hand and called the unmanned transport plane, "The transport plane will be here soon."

"Hmph." Lawn thought to himself that this was more or less the case.

While waiting for the transport plane to arrive, Gray suddenly asked, "Did you know that Qin Mo is actually a prisoner, a psychic prisoner."

"Hmm." Lawn nodded indifferently, and then looked at Gray in shock: "Huh?!"

"Qin Mo isn't even a soldier, he's just a prisoner, a prisoner assigned to the 44th Regiment." Gray said.

"..." Lawn shook his head in shock. He never dreamed that Qin Mo was a prisoner.

How could a prisoner lead soldiers into battle?

"Actually, this war has nothing to do with Qin Mo." Gray continued, "The reason he went to prison was because he didn't want to be hunted down. Why should he fight for this planet, why should he lead us to fight, and why should we ask him to stand by our side instead of killing us with the rebels?"

Lawn listened quietly and understood what Gray wanted to express.

That is, Qin Mo has nothing to do with this war. There is only one reason why he is willing to participate in the war, and that is that he is selfless and just.

Then Lawn got hairy all over, he didn't know why Gray said this.

"Qin Mo protects us and leads us in battle."

"Groot once cursed him because he didn't work hard in building the bunker, but after the 44th regiment was almost wiped out until a few days ago, Grote still got the power armor, and he was not rejected or retaliated against."

"He supported all the positions that needed support along the entire line, resupplied those who were out of ammunition and food."

After talking a lot more, Gray looked up.

The unmanned transport plane has flown over, floating in the sky with anti-gravity engines.

Gray took off suddenly, jumped onto the platform of the transport plane with the help of the jetpack, then took off his visor and looked down at Lawn.

The transport plane was slowly rising, Gray stared at Lawn through the messy hair blown by the airflow, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Remember my face, remember that I executed you!"

"Wait!" Lawn raised his hands, "Don't be impulsive, we can talk!"

The shoulder cannon fired a beam as he finished speaking.

Lawn's body was shrouded in the light beam. After the light beam dissipated, he himself was completely annihilated, and the place he was standing was melted out of the deep pit.

The shoulder cannons on Gray's shoulders continued to fire until they cooled.

These shots ensured that Lawn's biological tissue was completely wiped out, and no one could detect his death through technical means.

Picking up the gravity hammer and hitting it on the arm, his left hand was immediately smashed together with the armor.

Gritting his teeth, Gray put on his mask and gave the return order to the transport drone.

……

After a while.

Inside the fortress.

Klein sat in the conference room, watching the medical soldiers bandage Gray, and listening to Gray's narration.

"Laun and I encountered an enemy on the way. I didn't have time to activate the gravity shield. A psyker controlled me, and another aberrant rushed over and smashed my arm armor."

"If I hadn't turned on the built-in psychic suppressor, I would have died."

"..."

Listening to Gray's narration, Klein looked at Gray meaningfully, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Be honest with me, did you kill Lawn?"

Klein is very familiar with some dark things on the battlefield.

For example, some terrible regiments with high internal cohesion, if they have to install a new superior for them, this superior will be squeezed out to death.

Klein once heard that his classmate who graduated from the military academy died, and the report from the soldiers under his command was: The Emperor sent this person away.

"Of course I can't kill Lawn." Gray said and ordered to the mask: project the picture I took. "

Then Klein saw what happened to Gray in Lawn's room.

From drinking to taking the initiative to escort Lawn to inspect other positions, as for the pictures on the road, they were not photographed.

"You traitor." Klein looked at Gray with disgust, "If Lawn hadn't died, would you have stood by his side?"

Gray remained silent and did not respond.

"Qin Mo is interrogating that female intelligence officer next door." Klein got up and walked outside, "I will tell you everything about you, so be prepared to experience his anger."

Gray still didn't speak, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

……

Next room.

Qin Mo is interrogating Riley.

The name is that the appearance of a member of the Ministry of Justice in the Bottom Nest is very suspicious, and the possibility that she is a rebel spy must be ruled out.

"You know I used to be a prisoner, right?" Qin Mo said with a smile, "I remember you. You should have been not far away when I was arrested. Your clumsiness and stupidity are impressive."

"That's why you're willing to bring me back with Lawn?" Riley asked back.

"Yes." Qin Mo was very frank, and then picked up Laili's personal terminal, preparing to start directly from the legal department's database and clean up his files in it.

At this time Klein suddenly pushed the door open, walked up to Qin Mo and whispered to him, repeating to Qin Mo what Gray said just now.

Then Qin Mo wanted to ask, the psychic suppressor will automatically activate when it detects a psychic attack, and when the psychic suppressor is turned on, it will also activate the gravity shield. This is the power armor mechanism set up to prevent sudden attacks. How did Gray get his arm ripped off by the rebels?
But that's on a scientific level, what Gray's doing is on a different level.

"I see." Qin Mo nodded.

"He's a prisoner, don't believe him!" Riley suddenly wanted to make a bold attempt, betting that no one except Qin Mo knew he was a prisoner, so she yelled at Klein.

"Are you a prisoner?" Klein looked at Qin Mo in shock, and then said with a smile, "I thought she would say you were her biological father."

"In this case, it's not surprising that she said she is the emperor." Qin Mo smiled helplessly.

"Hahahaha." Klein turned and walked out of the room, closing the door by the way.
