Chapter 729 Sacrifice your life for righteousness


Chapter 729: Sacrificing one's life for justice

"My lord."

Before Bahram and Callistarius could rest for a while, a guard ran in with a hurried look.

After giving a restrained salute, he said loudly:

"There were a few greenskins sneaking around outside just now. We used traps to kill most of them, but one escaped. Yes, the foreman asked me to report to you two.”

After hearing this, Bahram frowned.

There is no doubt that the greenskins have discovered this refugee camp and will soon launch a large-scale attack. The defense here cannot be said to be absent, but it is basically vulnerable.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

After letting the guards leave, Bahram looked at Callistarius who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly meditating.

For some reason, the think tank became sweaty, as if it was in a fierce confrontation with something.

"Sir, I remember, didn't we evacuate all the civilians?"

"Didn't you listen to what the political commissar Yarek said?"

Hearing Bahram's words, Callistarius opened his eyes and sneered and said:

"He must defend the nest at all costs. All existing resources will serve this purpose, and the people here..."< br>
Then he suppressed his voice and shrugged.

"They were all abandoned. Perhaps their location was too deep into the greenskin territory and they couldn't be rescued at all. Or perhaps they were ignored in this panic. Or perhaps there were no extra resources for them to survive. No matter what Either way, they are all left to die, and the greenskins are coming here. "

Bahram sighed softly and turned his eyes to a group of children playing outside the door.

“No——”

Bahram’s expression gradually became firm, and he shook his head,

“No, they have not been abandoned, at least not yet, because we Here.”

"It's just the two of us."

Callistarius sharply pointed out the key issue.

"Yes, there are just two of us, two indomitable Astartes, armed with weapons and capable of killing any greenskin in single combat."

"You think Will it be just a few green skins that come? ”

Although Bahram is confident but not arrogant, he naturally knows that only a few green skins will come, but he still insists.

"Sir, the emperor has blessed this place, and we are the tools sent by the emperor to carry out his will. This is our mission."

"Then your opinion is to stay?"

Callistarius asked rhetorically, and the new recruit of the Astral Knight nodded in response.

"Yes, I will stay and I will not go anywhere. If the Emperor wants me to serve generously here, then I will have no regrets."

Callista Liu Si smiled, said nothing, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

Bahram didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he had no intention of involving the think tank. If the think tank wanted to retreat, he would not say a word.

The recruit put his gun on his shoulder and stepped out of the church into the street.

The guards were arranging the border of the settlement in the distance. They placed grenades with fuses at all possible entrances, which greatly consumed the few remaining ammunition, but There is no denying that this is the most reasonable approach.

The residents now try to keep their children at home as much as possible. Those very young children are too young to understand what the Emperor's Angels are and why they are there, but they They were all excited to see the legendary giant in the settlement, so the windows were full of curious little heads.

The older children would look at Bahram with the same reverence and fear as their parents.

Bahram found that no one had mentioned the evacuation. There was not even a communication device in this place. Everyone was silent about being abandoned by the empire and left to die.

It wasn’t until he asked one person that he realized that everyone was taking a chance, thinking that the greenskins would not visit this barren little corner. They had been so lucky to survive most of it before. moon.

But if you go to other places, you will face the risk of "instability", so people would rather choose false "stability".

This may be a bit self-deceptive, but Bahram knows that he cannot demand too much of these poor people. "S-Sir?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came.

Bahram turned to look at the muddy street behind him, and found a woman staring at him. She was carrying a basin of water from a public well on her head, and there was another person holding her next to her. little boy of four or five years old in a skirt.

The child's feet were bare and covered with mud.

"Can I help you?"

Bahram responded with a smile, trying to appear as kind as possible.

"Go back to the house."

The woman said to her son, and then waited until her son was out of earshot before speaking.

"We are all going to die, right?"

"I..."

Bahram opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Yes, they were probably going to die, all of them were going to die, but he knew even telling her that would be useless.

“No, you won’t die.”

Bahram said seriously.

“Why not?”

The recruit lightly knocked the eagle emblem on his chest with his fist, as if there was infinite power on it.

"We are the Emperor's angels, and we will protect everyone."

"The Emperor's blessing."

The woman bowed gratefully, then turned and left, Bahram felt She may not have left a deep impression on the other party. The tall and strong Hao Mo may impress her, or the secretive and clever Robin, or even the experienced Oscar, but it won't be him.

Bahram has always felt that there is nothing special about himself, he is just an ordinary warrior.

“Hey.”

Bahram then called to her, and the woman stopped and turned to look at the Astartes.

"If you can, stay home and don't come out today. Where is your husband?"

"He is dead."

Bahram was stunned, and then Said softly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but at least take good care of the children."

She just bent over and walked away.

After that, Bahram walked towards the main entrance. He wanted to check the loopholes in the defense. When the guards saw him, they gave way to a path.

The parapet wall is still the same and looks strong, but Bahram knows that the green skin can make a big hole with just a light kick, and the spikes on those road pillars are more of a comfort than the reality. After all, the greenskins here have guns and cannons.

After that, he climbed onto the defensive platform and looked at the dark passage in the distance. Suddenly, he seemed to see something.

A flash of light appeared in the dark corridor, and then a bullet hit the wall next to the door, half a meter away from Bahram's head. At the same time, there was a dull sound like rolling thunder. footsteps.

At this time, the situation he was most worried about finally appeared.

“The greenskins are coming!!!”
