Chapter 360: Road to Expedition: I, Rob!
The body of the Eldar fell to the ground, and the body with gray and silent eyes collapsed on the ground. He was dead. There was nothing difficult to judge. After all, he had a particularly big hole in his chest. Even if he was shot like that, Those green-skinned guys who are full of vitality will probably have to burp and lie on the ground.
The pointed-eared Dark Eldar walked up to him in a pair of dark blue navy trousers and a pair of high military boots. The man wearing the boots held a blaster pistol in his hand. She looked at the corpse at her feet and was almost surprised. Yu subconsciously looked at the terrifying blood hole first.
But now it can no longer be called a blood hole, because the blood in it has long solidified, and the internal organs torn and torn by the explosive beam, as well as other organs are mixed together. After a long day and night of exposure, and It’s no different than air-dried bacon.
Yeta held the pistol and looked up at his palm. She followed the blood splattering from the wound and saw that a large gap had been made in the entire right palm of the opposite sex. The entire nameless man , the index finger and little finger were neatly torn apart, and the high temperature burned the rest of the skin on the palm.
On the side of the dried broken hand was an Eldar pistol that fell on the ground. Yeta knelt down and picked up the pistol on the ground. She raised the strange-looking firearm. There was no magazine at the end, and It is an oval-shaped liquid solvent. The glass cover is fixed with several steel bars and contains some unique liquid.
Yeta looked at the glowing green liquid in it. She turned it slightly, and the liquid quickly poured to one side, then hit the glass and started churning.
"Be careful, there is painful liquid inside. If it touches a little bit, your skin will quickly fester, and the flesh and blood will be decomposed and disappear. Then the venom will penetrate deep into the bones and corrode you bit by bit."
Vito, who was wearing a black jacket from the Inquisition, patted Yeta on the shoulder as he passed by her. The latter raised his head and looked at Vito who was walking forward. There was a striking I logo of the Inquisition printed on the back of his black jacket. It allows people to identify him at a glance, although here, these children don't recognize the symbol.
So Andre held the gun in his hand. One of his hands was on the trigger ring, and the other hand was tilted to hold the front side of the barrel. The long gun belt slid down from his shoulder. The triangular support prevents the lazily carried blaster rifle from falling to the ground.
"So what are we doing here? Sir, are you giving up a beautiful morning to come to this unexploded bomb site full of liquid that can kill you, just to collect the bodies of these Eldar?"
"Collect the corpse? I remember that the Gemo people don't have the habit of being laid to rest. In that shabby city, if you die, your body will either become a bloody experimental toy, or it will be made into all kinds of weird things. If everything can be cremated, it will be a happy ending. "
Vito said as he stepped over a body that fell to the ground. After he passed by, he propped up his elbows and rolled over in front of a blood-stained floating motorcycle. After landing, Vito turned around and looked behind him. The motorcycle was equipped with sharp razors on both sides, and it could cut off a person by just driving over it. The motorcycle whistled.
"Wow, cool. I have to install a pair like this on my motorcycle anytime. It will definitely be very handsome." Vito said, putting one hand on the cushion of the motorcycle and looking at the station very coolly. Andre among a pile of corpses, and Yeta.
Behind them, there were Sun Auxiliary soldiers at the edge of the ambush site at the woodland line, holding guns and guarding the surroundings. All of them were wearing tactical helmets. This was not because they strictly followed the battlefield makeup rules, but The smell in the air here is really not suitable for taking off your helmet and smelling it.
Andre sniffed the smell in the air. He was not wearing a helmet, so the putrid smell rushed into his brain along the nasal cavity. "And the smell here, they have rotted. The smell is like being killed." The smoked fish that has been left out to dry and hasn’t been eaten for a while is still rotten.”
"What are we doing here? Marshal, taste this unique smell?" Andre put his hands on the wall hanging on his chest and said disgustingly. He also made a very vivid gesture of vomiting.
Vito looked at the vivid image and showed himself smiling at the reacting Andre, "You have to get used to this smell early. Believe me, the smell in the lower levels of the hive is much more exciting than this. After you return to the empire, you There will be many plans to deal with this smell."
"Uh! I hope there will be as few as possible, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to bring two beautiful girls to this place?" Andre smiled and looked at Ye Ta on one side and the people walking by on the other side. Lilith, the latter tilted her head slightly and rested her head on her shoulder, her silver hair falling down from her shoulder.
Lilith moved her fingers slightly. She smiled and walked from the corpses to Vito's side. She fell back and leaned against the floating car. Her lower body was almost completely Lie down, with your slender legs crossed and supported on the ground at the far end.
She leaned against Vito's hand coolly, completely ignoring the body sitting slumped next to her. "I'm used to it anyway. If you don't like it, you can go to the side and Vito and I will handle it." "
Lilith said mockingly, and Yeta immediately frowned and threw away the Eldar pistol in her hand. She stood up and glanced at Lilith, then looked at Vito proudly, "This smell is nothing. Sir, I have seen it many times!"
Vito raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Andre beside Yeta. The latter shrugged and shook his head while holding the gun, giving the answer to what Vito had just said. The latter laughed all of a sudden, and his micro-expression remained unchanged as he looked at it. Yeta, who was twitching because of the rancid smell, slapped his hands on the seat of the motorcycle, then straightened up and stood up.
"Okay, I will try my best to get us out of this stinking hell place as soon as possible." Vito said and stood up. Andre, who was standing among the piles of corpses, smiled and put the blaster on his shoulder. On the ground, he looked around at the rotting corpses that were already surrounded by flies.
"So what are we here for? There is nothing here except corpses all over the ground. It may attract wild beasts from the forest. It is more suitable for setting bait and hunting."
"Yes, the smell can probably be smelled dozens of kilometers away. They can be used as bait to attract some precious prey, both in the forest and outside."
Vito said with a smile on his face. He turned around and looked at the Eldar plundering longship behind him whose bow leaned forward and plowed a long ditch on the ground. The vessel, oars and rudders, fell to the ground like a beached whale.
Although this ship is a little different from most "ships", it is not a big difference. That is, compared with ships sailing on the sea, it travels in the air and glides across the sea of stars. It may be faster, but the sea of stars is also a sea, isn't it? So, no difference.
Vito turned around and walked to the stranded ship with a smile. With his hands behind his back, he stood on the ground where the end of the ship had shoveled a deep ditch on the ground. Large pieces of soil were splashed and piled up all around, as if they were cultivated fields in the fields. That way.
"It is our bait." Vito said, raising his hand and patting the bottom armor of the ship in front of him heavily. The ship was not very big, but it was definitely not small either. Vito stood in front of it. , like a little sardine swimming next to a whale.
Yeta looked at the boat. She raised her head and looked up at the towering hull and the light sail on it that had long been extinguished. Now there was only a bare pole standing there, just like all sunken sailboats, miserable and It's so bad, you really can't imagine what kind of things can be on this broken ship.
Besides corpses, of course, but the most indispensable thing here is corpses, or dust? Who knows what else there is, but Ye Ta can be sure that there is absolutely nothing worth mentioning there.
"Marshal, this ship has been destroyed. The melta and plasma blasted through its cabin. If there was any cargo inside, it is now turned to ashes."
"My dear Yeta, those goods are not what we are looking for, and believe me, even if they have not been blown to ashes, you will not even look at what the Dark Eldar will transport."
Vito took a step back. He looked up at the edge of the ship's side above his head. Then, after bending his legs slightly downward, he suddenly jumped up. With his hands behind his back, Vito jumped onto the ship nimbly like an athlete. The ship's side is about ten meters high.
Yeta and Andre looked at Vito who jumped on the boat. He stood on the side of the boat with one leg on the armrest and looked down. He smiled like a pirate ship captain. He even lowered his voice deliberately. , it does sound like a pirate captain speaking.
"Uh! We're going to find something other than those rags, my boys. We're going to lure out a big fish, kill it with a harpoon, and then drag it back to the port for a feast!"
Vito giggled and imitated the pirate captain. His arms were raised high and then suddenly swung down. It looked like that, but Andre and Yeta below him were looking at each other. He showed a strange expression.
"Okay, speaking in human terms, these two kids can't understand what you are trying to do with your poor Caribbean accent." Lilith said with a smile while leaning on the floating motorcycle. Behind her, Vito on the high side of the ship had his hands on his hips. , suddenly stood up and looked at the two children below.
He looked at them condescendingly. From the perspective of Yeta and Andre, Vito looked like the cheerful leading captain in every adventure story, guiding the protagonist in the direction and issuing missions. Like an NPC, Captain Vito also began to talk about this mission.
"We are going to use this ship to send out a distress signal and attract the Dark Eldar gang members on this ship, and then see what interesting surprises they can bring us, or, after having a good chat with them, Find a bigger surprise.”
"Surprise? But Marshal, is there anything on the Eldar ship that we can use? We have shot down many Eldar pirates over the years, but we cannot use their weapons and ships at all, and we can't even open them. Not even ”
Yeta looked up at the tall Vito from below and asked, who smiled and looked at her with his hands on his hips, "Elf pirates sometimes don't just transport goods that you don't want to know about. Sometimes, they will also transport goods robbed from human merchant ships and transport teams in the physical universe.”
"The Eldar despise most of the products of humanity. In their eyes, they are no different than the tattered spears tied together with stones and sticks wielded by a group of monkeys. But although they despise the things we make, But the Eldar also like the raw materials used to make those things.”
Vito smiled and bent down, with the front half of his body leaning on his knees. He bent slightly and looked at the two children below. "Unlike the Ark Spirit Tribe, Gemonai has a quite large population, although most of them are blood." It was made using culture tubes, but after all, it was mass-produced, and many newborns could be born every time."
"Although most of them will die in various accidents characteristic of the Dark Eldar before they reach adulthood, there are not many people who will eventually grow up. This makes Gemo always face a population problem. With more people, Needing more space, resources, and pain to feed, they need more slaves, more plunder, to extract the pain through torture, to avoid being devoured by Slaanesh.
"So that means more marauders, looting, plundering and war-catching slaves all over the galaxy, and that's not even counting Gomo's never-ending gangs, the Cabal Civil War, and more deaths. , bringing more newborns to the population. To be honest, the Dark Eldar are like rats in this regard, always consuming themselves, but there will always be new babies on top.”
"So, in order to meet these plunders, internal strife and gun battles that can be encountered within three minutes of leaving the house, the Dark Eldar need a large number of weapons, armor and ship equipment, and because they have a larger population than the Ark Eldar, they cannot Just like the Ark Eldar, they use the spiritual bone materials of the old Eldar civilization to shape what they want.”
Vito smiled and shrugged, and his hands on his knees swung in the air, "The source of the spiritual bones has been unable to be reshaped with the collapse of the Eldar Empire. The Ark Eldar are all They are searching for the few spiritual bones left in the whole galaxy, but this is still very limited. Therefore, the population of the Ark Eldar is small. A large part of the reason is not only abstinence to avoid being discovered and eaten by Slaanesh, but also to maintain life. Most of the key materials are quite scarce, which limits their population cap."
Vito pointed to the pistol at Yeta's feet. She also turned to look at the pistol she threw on the ground. Vito smiled and drew out the Phoenix Sword from his waist. He turned his palm slightly to let the blade The blade part of the blade was pressed against his finger, and the blade was as smooth as water reflecting the sunlight.
There is no chip on the sword or fading after years of use. The entire Phoenix Sword is still smooth and clean. Every molecule that makes up it is tightly locked. There is no gap or movement. It was as if it was frozen.
"This sword is made of real Eldar spirit bones and manufacturing techniques. It's perfect, isn't it? It's smooth, flat and like new. Tell me, how does the gun at your feet look?"
After Yeta was stunned for a moment, she bent down and picked up the painful pistol on the ground. Andre on his side also came over and looked at the weapon with Yeta.
Andre shrugged, looking at the fading and dents on the gun, "The chips, traces of use and wear and discoloration are no different from normal weapons."
"To correct you, it's the same as the normal weapons used by us humans." Vito put the Phoenix Sword on his shoulder and said with a smile. He looked at the two surprised children below.
"The Webway is not a resource-rich place to begin with. In the past, Gomo and all the Webway cities had to transport food, resources, etc. from the Eldar Empire in the physical universe. They could not produce those things themselves. They only served as It’s just a trade transit city.”
"After the Great Fall, Gemo Ke was no longer able to obtain the endless supply of "Noble Eldar" materials to produce weapons and equipment as before, and their population was always so large. In order to maintain that crazy city The operation of Gomorr, without letting the low-level gangs of Gomorr who lacked the essence of pain and feared from the depths of their souls to be devoured by Slaanesh to rebel, causing the entire Gomorr to fall into civil war, so Victor and his previous rulers could only I can lower my standards a little bit.”
"Nowadays, most of the weapons and equipment used by the Dark Eldar are made of refined plastic steel or fine steel produced in the world cast by the Human Empire. They will use the ancient technology of the Eldar to perfect, purify and essence them, and finally Relying on the huge production capacity created by the empire, we can produce equally huge weapons and equipment for the entire Gomo."
It's ironic, isn't it? Every time Vito thinks about this, he feels extremely ironic. Those arrogant Dark Eldar will always look down on humans. In their eyes, humans can only exist as slaves or objects of torture. But in fact, their sick, lingering The society is indeed heavily dependent on the survival of the human empire and its continued existence.
They obtain resources from the empire, not only steel and the like, but also food, labor and other things. Their ability to survive in the barren network is completely dependent on the existence of the human empire. If the empire One day it really collapses, then these arrogant Eldar in the Webway will immediately fall into a civil war after the resources are exhausted, fighting for the few remaining resources. In the end, they will join hands with humans to The end and the end.
So in a sense, the spirit race and humans are brothers and sisters, since they have a symbiotic relationship? This is true. Vito is sure that if this view is announced in the empire, he will probably be charged with thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of heresy within a few minutes and then be burned to death. He will be burned over and over again until he is ashes. Until they are all burned up.
"Wow, so the Eldar raiders sometimes rob transport ships from the empire and bring the resources back to Gomo. So from a probability perspective, we use the shouting system on the longship behind us to attract other Either for rescue, or to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune from the Spirit Clan."
Vito smiled evilly and inserted the Phoenix Sword into the ground. He gently turned the tip of the sword, and the sharp blade bit by bit shattered the side of the longship under his feet, and pieces of steel were everywhere in the gap. Sasha went out, and Vito smiled slyly.
"Use this boat as bait, and then attract our other good neighbors, and then we will find them again." Vito said, gesturing with a smile on his face, as if to ask Yeta and Andre to say something. Half of it was the same, but obviously, the two young people did not immediately understand what Vito meant.
"We robbed them and used the goods on their ships. If it was not enough, we used them as bait to bring a few ships over, and then the problem was solved."
Lilith helped them tell the second half, and also reminded and told them what Vito's plan would look like. The two children looked at Lilith, and then turned to look at Vito above almost simultaneously. .
"Marshal, you."
"Sounds like you're more of a pirate than an Eldar pirate."
Yeta and Andre expressed their heartfelt emotions together, while Vito stood up with his sword in hand. He suddenly put the Phoenix Sword on his shoulder with an evil smile on his face, "Fight fire with fire, do you understand?" ? Learn more, you will be able to use it when you return to the empire."
"Do we need to do this kind of thing in the empire?" Yeta asked slightly in surprise. She looked up at Vito, who smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"Study hard, now the empire hums, you will know sooner or later, although you don't want to know."
Vito said, turned around with the sword and walked towards the deck. The cabin door was not far behind the ship's pole. Vito walked to the door and clenched the hilt of the Phoenix Sword beside him with his fingers, and then fiercely He took it off his shoulder and pointed it at the door in front of him.
Fire instantly burned on the Phoenix Blade, and the blazing flames instantly burned the blade red. Vito gripped the hilt of the sword and stabbed it in fiercely.
"But now, let's start a game."
Isn’t this title magical? It’s just magical, I don’t even know how I took it out) Funny
