Chapter 115, Among mortals, there are heroes
Thaddeus didn't know how he did it.
He led his company, following Yan Fangxu's order, to the wind farm here to perform the task.
After the orbital bombardment, he and his troops were not even considered the main force. They were just cooperating with the teams from the Governor's Infantry Regiment to perform blockade missions.
Then the Space Marines and Sisters of Battle arrived, and he didn't even know what to do in the first place.
Until a Space Marine and a Sister died in the core after a previous orbital bombardment.
Only when the nun who was still alive used the communication channel in a panic to report the situation to their head nun did Thaddeus understand what the situation was probably about.
Then, he strode towards the hollow.
Everyone looked at his behavior and was a little confused. They didn't know what he was going to do at first. But soon some colleagues reacted and came up to try to stop him.
In the heavy rain, his colleague hugged his waist from behind and shouted in his ear: "Are you crazy! Do you want your life?"
"Let go!" Thaddeus struggled hard.
"Don't die! That's something even a Space Marine can't handle! You're just dying in vain!"
"Who said that?" Thaddeus broke away and turned to his comrade who fell to the ground. "What this battle requires most is a firm will, and I am definitely lacking this!"
When he said this, he thought of his friend Cody again, the way he fired the grenade and jumped into the enemy's position, and what he failed to do at that time.
These, not only did not hit him, but made him more determined: "This world has nothing to do with those Space Warriors and Battle Sisters, they are still able to fight with all their lives. In order to save our own homeland, in order to complete the Governor and our Why don’t we dare to sacrifice everyone’s ambition?”
"I'm not afraid of death. I was afraid once, but I'm not afraid this time! I will fight! I know I may be dying, but when I die, I hope more warriors will stand up!"
< br>
"We will win!"
He raised his arms and shouted, turned around decisively, held his red hat in the wind and rain, and walked to the hollow.
He couldn't see where the hole was, but he could roughly determine that it was within a certain range through previous intelligence, and then he could reach out and explore.
After a few minutes, he felt it.
A white mist floated before his eyes, and when he came to his senses again, he came to the spiritual realm.
A roar from the Angry Owl's projection pointed out to him the location of the enemy.
Thaddeus didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately threw himself into the battle.
When he came to this spiritual realm through soul projection, he was bare-handed, but when he had a strong desire to attack, a rifle appeared in his hand unconsciously.
He let out a roar that was no less than the projection of an angry owl, and pulled the trigger towards the monster. The bullets were fired at at least two monsters that were as tall as him and required three or four of him to surround them, knocking them staggeringly.
In essence, this gun and these bullets are the power projected from Thaddeus' own spiritual will. He is fighting with his own will, and the specific performance is irrelevant. The scenes in the spiritual realm are just the scenes he is best at and most familiar with.
Those bullets fired have a very significant effect, but it is unrealistic to kill the Angry Owl Projection just by relying on this.
Against his firepower, the Angry Owl projection roared at him. From its wide-open beak, a white storm bomb shot out and hit him in the chest.
This storm bomb looked much more terrifying than the spells released by the blue robes he had dealt with when fighting side by side with Cody. Logically speaking, he should definitely die. But he didn't care about that at all, he just wanted to hit the angry owl as many times as possible before he was hit.
Then, the storm bomb hit his chest and knocked him away.
He fell hard some distance away, his whole body was in pain, and he felt like he was going to fall apart.
But it's a good thing to feel pain. If a storm hits you and kills you, you won't even feel the pain.
Unlike now, he could still endure the pain and struggled to get up from the ground.
But during this process, the angry owl projection rushed into his face.
He waved his left arm to resist, and an anti-explosion shield appeared on his arm, blocking the angry owl's heavy blow.
The angry owl frantically raised a pair of Li's forelimbs, raised them high, and then smashed them down.
Once, twice, three times...
Thaddeus held on tightly.
His mouth and nose were bleeding.
If there are any bystanders, they can even see that his spiritual body, which symbolizes his entire soul, has become unstable and has a tendency to collapse.
In a state of confusion, Thaddeus thought of his friend Cody again.
They grew up together in the Wasted Dong Society. They shivered in the dark cave together when the bandits of the "Prisoners" attacked the Wasted Dong Society. They saw the light brought to them by the Governor, joined the army together, and became political commissars together. ……
Then, he couldn't help but think of Cody's last scene before his death. His friend wearing a red hat jumped down from the semi-ruin on hands and knees, carrying two grenades, and killed the enemy.
Thaddeus, who was carrying a blast shield to resist the angry owl's attack, suddenly realized that the scene in his memory overlapped with the scene he saw in front of him. He really saw Cody, jumping down from the air, with grenades in his hands and waist emitting smoke.
boom!
An explosion occurs!
The Angry Owl projection raised a pair of forelimbs again and was about to accumulate strength for the final blow, but was blown to pieces.
In confusion, Thaddeus' eyes were shrouded in white mist, and then he felt the strong wind and cold rain hitting his face hard.
He fell down and fell into the puddle. There was a roar in his ears. He felt a warmth between his mouth and nose. The blood was flowing out uncontrollably, but it was immediately washed away by the rain from his face. Go down. He looked out with confused eyes and saw many robed figures rushing towards him.
He stretched out his hand hard and gave them a thumbs up, and then his eyes went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.
……
Schneider couldn't believe what he saw.
After he solved the trouble at the wind farm he was responsible for, he was worried about the condition of the injured battle brother and rushed here.
Halfway through, he heard the bad news.
One of the brothers who survived the hundred-year expedition died here.
He was extremely angry and even complained about Martins.
It's not that he can't accept the sacrifice of his battle brothers. In fact, in his past experiences, he had long been accustomed to sacrifice.
But he couldn't accept that his battle brother died worthless.
That's right, he just felt there was no value in this matter at the moment.
They should die for the revival of the Chapter, not on this planet that cannot support the Chapter's reconstruction.
He always felt that Martins and Rizzo were a waste of time.
But if it's just a waste of time, then forget it. Perhaps, time will make his two brothers understand that it is ridiculous to place their hopes on the thin psyker governor.
But now, what they wasted was not just time, but the lives of their battle brothers!
This is unacceptable.
He's going to come here, take his brother's body, and then go find Martins and Rizzo and question them, did they make the right decision?
If they really have to follow the governor all the way to the dark side, will the remaining six of them be able to die?
One brother has already died, but the dawn of the chapter's reconstruction has not yet been seen! On the contrary, the city that the ridiculous governor had planned and fought for for a long time was about to be destroyed in a storm.
Schneider arrived angry.
Then, he saw a mortal, taking down the enemy that his battle brothers could not defeat until their death.
How is this possible?
How could a mere mortal do this?
He had just experienced a battle against the Angry Owl's projection, and he won easily.
He is a phoenix warrior who has been fighting for three hundred years. His spirit and will are much stronger than steel.
He agreed with the previous judgments from Priests Gritte and Rizzo that only they, the Emperor's angels of death, could possess this kind of tenacity.
Not even those battle nuns can reach this level.
But now, a mortal?
Why?
He admitted that in the long fighting career he had experienced in the past, there were many mortals who fought alongside him, and indeed the Space Marines had to admire them.
But those heroes are rare even among the most elite Astra Militarum troops. How could he be compared to the indigenous officer in front of him?
He instinctively refused to believe this was true.
But the last hole was indeed shrinking rapidly and eventually disappeared. The clouds that shrouded the city, making the entire city pitch dark, were also quickly dissipating, and a ray of sunlight shone down.
The wind is calming and the rain is receding...
No matter how much Schneider couldn't believe it, everything he saw before his eyes was true.
……
[Activatable Hero: Thaddeus]
Gu Hang was very curious about how Thaddeus did it and tried to find the answer from his system interface.
So, he saw a new message in the hero interface.
Thaddeus can already be activated as a hero.
He clicked tentatively.
The cost required for activation is 50 points of gift.
He didn't spend the gift, but he could see some clues from the price.
50 points is the price needed to upgrade from LV2 to LV3.
This means that once Thaddius is activated, he will be a hero starting at LV3?
A pleased smile appeared on Gu Hang's lips: "Among mortals, there are heroes!"

This story is finished.
I have been scolded a lot recently, and here is my own lesson learned and apology.
I hope everyone can give me more confidence, I know I was wrong!
