Chapter 208 His name is Kaifas Kane, the hero of the empire
The freezing weather outside was worse than Kane's worst expectations, and he had even hoped for it before he fully experienced the harsh weather in this world of ice and snow.
In fact, he thought she was no colder than Valhalla or Nuscu'amfondumentibus, but it had been a while since he'd trodden the snow in either place, and his memory had apparently faded. Skipping the worst experiences, not to mention it's even darker here.
"Jurgen, can you still speed up?!" Kane held the storm bolter and kept shooting. To be precise, his shots were very accurate, but the enemy's heavy trucks had a specially designed bottom that was easier to attack than the salamanders on the tracked vehicles. Running over the snow.
Looking at the slush and thin track marks of the salamander, you can see that the tower is not suitable for running in the snow. In comparison, the enemy approaches quickly and violently. Even a fully loaded truck can outpace it in speed. Salamander scout tanks are faster.
"Damn heretics." Kane looked at the black smoke things in the distance and followed him, like vicious dogs. He had no choice. "Run to the base, faster, faster!"
Jurgen stepped on the accelerator, kicking up more and more mud and snow, but the speed did not get faster. In such weather, revving too fast is just a waste of engine strategy. In contrast, those heavy vehicles can rely on excellent grip. and a thick triangular forklift in front of them to clear the ground.
The snow mist flying into the sky is also caused by this. The special vehicle snow shovels in this world are very effective, but a large part of the snow will be sucked into the shovel and then discharged, which is not good for concealment.
But the flaws are not concealed, the value of mobility in the frontal battlefield is not low, so the Empire's engine fell into a passive state. Even if a snow plow is installed, the Salamander, which is not a professional snow plow, does not have enough power to clear the way, and the situation will only get worse.
The traitors spraying white mist gradually approached. Kane could only hold his nose and crawl into the inside of the salamander to avoid the automatic gun fire. The good news was that this ragtag group did not have heavy weapons, or to be precise, they did not have heavy individual weapons. Because Kane has seen the heavy missile launcher group and heavy explosive bombs hanging on the truck.
Those Imperial Guardsmen who left their weapons to the traitors really did not regret their death, but Kane was not that mean. In that moment, his heart truly felt pity for the Imperial soldiers who died in this world, as well as the machines that were forced into service by the traitors.
"How long until we get to the camp?!" Kane asked, urgently. This was the third time he asked about this today, and it was still a short period of time. However, the snowy day is not just bad news. In this temperature, the external environment Shooting will not cause heat to increase, otherwise the crew members will quickly become a plate of steamed vegetables inside the tank that is entirely made of iron.
That's how things are, both good and bad, but Kane just wants them to run faster, faster!
But he had to calm down and regretted his reckless actions. He grabbed the shoulders of the crew members, and the temperature gradually increased. The sandwich sauce he had just eaten was wiped on the military coats of the crew members.
In the narrow observation window, white images flashed continuously, including sandbags, trenches, intersections, and rugged mountain roads. They were almost there. With the blessing of the Emperor, Kane had to thank the Lord of Mankind for his second gift of luck.
The soldiers of Valhalla's 597th Regiment raised their weapons. They didn't have time to set up. They just used the things that already existed in the base to strengthen the defense here. This is also a twist of fate. If Skadi's only regiment is here, the deflagration beam can definitely be easily Through the truck.
"Let's go like this! Those guys can't break through our clothes..." Before Kane could finish his words, a violent voice appeared. It was something he was very familiar with. To be precise, he was too familiar with it. It was buzzing. , that was the roar of anti-armor-piercing missiles on the imperial fortress, and Kane instantly realized what he needed to do.
If the hero of the empire has something that is the same in his heart and what he advertises outside, it is that he absolutely has and a strong desire to survive that forms the basis of his actions. It is he who loves food and life and knows how important life is. Only then would he be the invincible Kephas Kane, not an unknown soldier who died on the road to sacrifice.
He threw himself on the steering wheel. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that his body, which was usually too high inside the car, allowed him to rise with all his strength to reach the driver from the observation position. "Abduct! Abduct for me!"
His mechanical fingers were very powerful, and he avoided the missile at the critical moment. A violent vibration was transmitted through the ground, and it exploded in the snow. The armor of the Salamander tank was not thick, and if the fragments cracked on their sides, they would definitely be destroyed. The crew members come together...
This time, Kane completely began to feel good about the bad weather here. If it weren't for the thick snow layer that absorbed the debris, he would have survived the catastrophe.
But fate is not easy to let go of a person. If a narrow mountain road intersection is missed, a sharp turn means that the car body is approaching uphill, and Kane's name is also known to the traitor. The hero of the empire is the best for the traitor. thing.
Killing represents a gift and the attention of the highest heaven. It can be said that Kane is higher than the war itself. They are not warriors, but believers who want to please the gods. Since Kane is so valuable, taking his life becomes more important than victory. Important things.
When Kane felt that those madmen would not chase him at this moment, he leaned out, but only the fragments of the gun grazed his cheek...
He realized that those lunatics were unreasonable. This bumpy, strange, and crazy rugged mountain range was definitely difficult to climb. There was a high probability that they would die, but they still persevered regardless of their own safety?
Kane had to retract into the car. Although this bumpy and twisted road did not have much snow, it was also full of dangers. Just the fact that the remaining native landforms of the planet were distorted by violent geological changes was troublesome enough. It could not be called a road. Rubbles and protruding stone pillars can be seen everywhere.
The winding road and the falling snow were more like climbing than crushing. Kane regretted it more and more at this moment, and because his climbing ability reached the limit, a truck came to their side, and the cultist in the car Lock onto their location with missiles.
Only here did Kane see clearly how those madmen fired the weapons. They used ropes to hold the heavy weapons in the bulges on the car. At the same time, because they could not achieve the normal combination of the filling hand and the aiming hand, the shooting speed also became Slowly, otherwise the deceleration uphill will be enough to kill Kane.
Of course, Kane wouldn't let this bastard shoot. He got out of the car and pulled the trigger desperately. The projectiles were fired, and the sophisticated explosives tore the head of the heretic cultist. When the blood and brain fragments wet the corner of the imperial engine .
He also pulled the trigger before he died. The roaring missile grazed the side of Kane's head. The heat burned his skin. There was a buzzing from his temple to his head. The projectile also grazed his body and landed in the distance. On the mountains, flames burst out.
Kane also picked up storm bombs and shot at the countless pursuers behind him. He quite enjoyed being treated like this by girls, but a group of lunatics who loved the power of the highest heaven were spared!
And the Emperor blessed him with excellent luck. The stability of the car was also good. There was no machine soul problem due to shooting, and there was no death caused by driver error. He bypassed this difficult place. At the same time, Kane's shooting and The complicated road conditions have caused most of the deaths of those crazy believers.
In essence, they are not well-trained people, so their cheap lives are wasted unscrupulously. Now it is natural to die from explosive bombs or bumps on the ground. After all, they are chasing the imperial hero Kane to jump up and down.
Facts have proved that fate will not let a person be unlucky for too long. Kane soon felt a different bump, and then he felt a sense of uprightness that he had not seen for a long time. With the blessing of the Emperor, they had escaped. All they had to do next was to enter the Empire. Guard's jurisdiction!
Kane was shooting hard, and he was working even harder because of the possibility of survival, but Alan Bayer was also radioed by his message, and he almost roared to ask Kane. "What are you doing?!"
His troubles were not because of Kane's violation of discipline. As a warrior born in the Empire's College of Loyalty, he had the privilege to violate it. To be precise, their relationship was not between superior and subordinate, but a more special situation.
He was angry because...
"There is a hidden minefield just laid out in front of you!"
Kane's head didn't stop roaring during this period. Not to mention being loved by the cultists, just the undulations and slopes of the mountainous area made him unbearable. As a result, he finally got here. , and his own people planted the bomb?
He had already foreseen that he would hit a minefield while being chased by the heretics, and that the entire Salamander tank would turn into burning fragments or fireballs, and that he would be trapped in the metal and die in silence.
He suppressed the crazy thoughts in his head, lowered his head, and spoke to the crew members with his heart beating continuously. "I'll drive!"
At this moment, the poor man's nose was bleeding from the collision with the car body due to several sharp turns. He had to admit that he did a good job. There was still grease on his clothes from Kane's rub. And Jurgen... it's hard for you to describe this guy. What were the clothes like before? After all, not many people can make the Imperial uniform look like a primitive person.
When he stepped on the engine accelerator, to be honest, he trusted this Salamander, but the current scenery of continuous white snow made him really unable to help being afraid. Moving forward, behind him were the cultists who wanted to eat him alive. In front of him were the secrets of his compatriots in the empire. Thunder…
"Today is really a good day!" Kane said almost through gritted teeth, but Alan Beyer turned on the radio.
"Calm down and move forward according to the description of the engineer chief...don't make any mistakes, understand?" The impetuous voice buzzing on the radio made Kane unhappy, but he had to be 100% mentally strong.
The engineer chief muttered based on the vague positioning of the auspicious instrument. "First, 6 o'clock, left, diagonally, 4 o'clock direction..."
Kane immediately followed the description in his mind and used his rich experience and boldness to move forward quickly with luck or shelter. It is difficult to imagine what is going on in Kane's head now. After all, the psychological pressure of walking through a minefield is so great. People are broken enough.
Other crew members couldn't help but want to point fingers at Kane's choices, such as the next bend or the slope below, but they understood that if they interfered with Farnes and Kane, the situation would only get worse.
Secondly, Jurgen looks at those who want to express his thoughts with a murderous look. Kane's greatest luck in this life may be to meet an adjutant like Jurgen. Secondly, he meets someone who is willing to sort out his experiences and present them to the public. The female inquisitor spread by the empire.
From this point of view, Kane's "misfortune" in his life may have been caused by him using up all his luck.
But this time it was clear that the Emperor still protected the unfortunate guy. After he took the risk and walked through the minefield, Kane admitted for the first time that his heart could beat so fast, so fast!
"Successful?" He asked the radio a little hysterically, and the soldiers on the opposite side responded as if they had seen a miracle. "That's right, the estimated 130-meter minefield has all... passed!"
It's hard to say that all this is luck. Kane is the one who caused the miracle. He is not a coward. On the contrary, his thoughtfulness and fear are the representatives of courage. Someone once asked a brave man what courage is. The brave man answered that courage is to go. Do things with perseverance.
The man asked again, is that courage the push-up?
The brave man replied again that there must be changes and emotions. The man asked, does the fearless charge count?
Finally, the brave man answered that courage is timidity, timid perseverance, and cowardly people will still go after thinking twice, that is courage.
Kane is such a coward, so he can become a hero of the empire. When the cultists saw Kane stepping through the minefield, they followed him in their cars unscrupulously. In just an instant, about five or six seconds of shooting, the explosion also followed. Appear.
Now a miracle has happened again. If a cultist organization of about 40,000 people charges towards the empire, those heavy firepower equipment and crazy behavior are enough to cause heavy losses to an infantry regiment. The subsequent raid will be slow, but Mr. Kane's bravery Lure the enemy deep, so that the enemy's attack can be said to have been cracked by him alone!
Kane returned to camp. To be honest, his thighs were still touching and shaking, but he still maintained his deceptive style and held his head high.
The soldiers below spread word of mouth, talking about Kane, Caifas, Kane once again lured the enemy deep, annihilated the enemy at once, regardless of his own danger, and cooperated with the Sun Lord's strategy to minimize the losses of the Imperial Guard. !
The soldiers looked at each other, and then soon, someone shouted. "Caiphas Kane!"
Then someone kept shouting. "Kain, Caifax. Kain! Hero of the Empire!"
He was led from the Salamanders, men and women of the Imperial Guard chanting his name, and marched into the base, leaving only one of Mr. Kane's new legends as an insignificant embellishment in his great life. . (End of chapter)
