Chapter 371: Expedition Road: Interesting Disguise
The Marauder Speedboat is a sailing ship that is much smaller than the main longships of the Dark Eldar and the Ark Eldar. It is very small, too small, and can only accommodate ten Eldar on the small deck and cabin.
In addition, although the defense of the Marauder Speedboat is very weak, there is almost no armor, and the back deck is completely open. The towering light sails are directly exposed on its deck and both sides, without any cover or armor defense. Even with the Eldar's technological level, the shields that this small ship can carry are very limited.
Therefore, it often only takes one Leman Russ main gun to knock it down. Of course, the premise is that you can hit it. This is the biggest advantage of this ship. In one word, fast, or it is more appropriate to describe it as very fast.
Just like their masters, the Dark Eldar are far more flexible and agile than humans, even their fellow Ark Eldar. The movements of humans, even Astartes, seem slow motion in the eyes of the Dark Eldar, so they have an unparalleled pursuit of speed, and this ship is also the nightmare of any planetary defenders and residents.
They will suddenly appear from the webway at a very fast speed, and then whiz like a whirlwind over the outer space orbital station of the planet that has just discovered them and is rotating the orbital gun. The orbital defenders and their automatic weapons don't even have a chance to fire a shot. These fast plundering ships will carry their cruel masters and attack the planet's atmosphere like a flock of vultures.
They are so fast that no ground or air force can intercept them. The barrage fired by the Hydra anti-aircraft guns can't even touch their skin. These fast vultures will flexibly pass through the sky, and then it will be the Empire's turn to be unlucky.
These naked ships of the Dark Eldar, although their defense is quite worrying, are often equipped with enough destructive weapons in addition to their high speed. They whiz through the air, and the destruction and pain of the defenders are tilted over their heads.
Like most Dark Eldar weapons, those who are hit often have a long and torturous death process. Before they die screaming, the Dark Eldar will completely destroy the local defense force of the entire planet at lightning speed, and then start plundering, torturing and killing, etc.
The Emperor rarely has any units that can compare with the Dark Eldar in speed. Lightning fighters chase after them like a group of snails chasing cheetahs.
This kind of predator fast ship can perfectly make up for the weakness of the Eldar population compared to humans. Once they fall into a protracted war with humans and become a consumption, the Eldar will never be able to beat humans, the three kings of attrition war in the entire universe. The other two are greenskins and tyranids.
Even though the population of the Dark Eldar is much larger than that of the general Eldar, compared with humans, it is still the difference between a glass of water and a sea. After all, you know, the reproduction rate of humans is the same as that of rabbits. It will not take hundreds of years to fill the entire planet with people and turn a vibrant planet into a hive world full of high-rise buildings.
Therefore, the Dark Eldar’s plundering idea is that before the Imperial Navy reacts and receives the distress signal, they have already taken slaves and treasures on these strange sailing ships in the galaxy, left the planet and returned to the webway, and then enjoyed their harvest. Of course, I hope you are not on the "harvest" side.
Therefore, this kind of fast plundering ship is quite popular among various pirate gangs, conspiracy groups and even the lower-level gangs in Gomor. Even the Haemonculi Conclave is willing to condescend to use it.
And now, there is such a boat parked in the woods, it is parked alone in the open space between the towering trees around it. This kind of predator clipper usually moves in groups, but now, it is alone, just like its current owner is a lone wolf.
Vito carried a box and walked to the cabin of the speedboat. He walked into the cabin, which was not very big, and put the long box on his shoulders and hands on the edge of the cabin.
He and the longboat under him were in the deep forest far away from the settlement and the Emperor Fantasy. The reason was very simple, and the reason was standing behind Vito.
"I said, this boat was originally planned to be small, and it was also going to be loaded with that "beast", but you still moved such a big box in?" Lilith, who was leaning on the cabin door behind Vito, leaned against the door frame with her arms folded and said with a smile.
She still looked like an Eldar, with pointed ears sticking out from under her hair. On her slightly pale skin, there was a tattoo of a slender snake on her arms and exposed back. The coiled snake climbed up Lilith's arms and exposed its big mouth with sharp fangs on her back.
In addition, she was wearing a dark Eldar-style leather coat. The tight pants and bra fit her body tightly. In a sense, it was no different from not wearing any clothes. There was a hole at the waist to expose the flesh, making the whole dress look particularly sensual.
Like the clothes, Lilith's weapon was also changed to that of the Eldar. The Slaanesh Blade was replaced by a tearing sword full of cutting teeth. On the other side of her waist, a whip was hung close to her thigh, and the handle of the whip was attached with some kind of purple neural pain venom.
So yes, she now looks like a cruel Eldar pirate, or rather, this is Lilith's true character. Vito still remembers seeing Lilith's own magic palace, especially the scene in the basement. How to say it, at that time Vito understood why everyone always said that Lilith was more like the incarnation of the Eldar than Slaanesh.
So yes, this is why Vito is in the deepest part of the forest, ready to set off. Believe me, if an Eldar appears next to the ship, the commotion caused will not make Vito like it at all, such as dozens of blasters shooting at him.
Vito smiled and blocked the box to one side. He stood up and moved his arms. He also changed into an Eldar pirate outfit. The shoulders of the long black windbreaker were decorated with spikes. There was a belt for torture tools hanging on the side of the waist, and a belt made of human skin at his waist.
There was a disassembled pistol hanging on the belt, and this standard Eldar neural venom dagger, which was used to cut the victim's skin and kill him little by little under the intense pain of neural venom.
Vito lifted his long windbreaker with his hand and covered the pistol on his waist. He smiled and patted the box in front of him, then walked to the cabin on the side.
"I only bring it when I need it, just in case." Vito said, turning around and walking to the big iron cage in the center of the cabin. The huge cage almost occupied most of the space. It was five or six meters high and directly hit the ceiling. The two sides were also quite wide, and it looked like it was used to hold something big.
That thing occupied most of the space in the cabin, so Vito could only pass through the narrow aisle on one side and came to the front fixed part of the cage. He reluctantly squatted down and began to tie its fixed rope more tightly.
Lilith walked in from outside the cabin. She walked to the box with her arms folded. She gently opened the cover with her fingers and looked at the things inside. She laughed and reached out to take out a small ball.
There was a flashing red line on the edge of the ball, and there was a huge round button on the top, which allowed the user to find the switch immediately when he wanted to turn it on, and then press it down at once, and then throw it out to surprise the enemy.
"High-explosive melt grenade? Weapons from the Great Expedition era, which have not been seen in the current empire for ten thousand years. Where did you get it from?" Lilith threw the grenade in her hand, turned several times in the air, and then fell down and hit her hand again.
Vito grabbed the fixed wide rope loop at the end of the cage and pulled it up violently. The rope tied to the fixed slot on the cabin deck was instantly tied. He skillfully tied the fixed rope and stood up with the cage.
"How is it? Well done, right? This is the first batch of products I got from the STC template after the restart of the Fantasy Dream and before the start of the ship-wide maintenance." Vito smiled as he emerged from the back of the cage. He patted his slightly wrinkled windbreaker after squatting down, and emerged from the gap between the bulkhead and the edge of the cage.
Lilith looked at Vito who had finally emerged, and smiled as she threw the hot melt grenade in her hand to him, "So why did you bring these things? This big box of grenades can probably blow up the Colosseum."
Vito immediately caught the round high-explosive grenade with both hands. He looked at the grenade in his hand, and after repeatedly throwing it between his hands like an acrobat, he grabbed it in his hand and put it back into the box on the side.
"Be prepared. You never know when you might need them, like when I need to blow something up."
Lilith folded her arms, leaned against the wall, and smiled as she watched Vito cover the box full of dangerous goods. Then she raised her head and pointed at the large iron cage that occupied the entire cabin and forced them to the edge. "So you also made this thing with STC?"
"Yes, it's just the right size to hold Magnus, I mean, the beast." Vito stood by with his hands on his hips, looking at the huge iron cage in front of him with a gloating look on his face.
Vito's craftsmanship was so great when he made the cage. The entire cage was cast completely without any weak points. Even if the door needed to be installed and the position connecting the upper and lower cage surfaces was reinforced with anchor points to ensure that no one, especially the things inside, could knock it open.
Not only that, Vito was also very considerate. He pre-set several buckles on the steel floor inside the cage to fix the thick iron chain, handcuffs, footrests and even the collar chain on the top to ensure that the "beast" locked in can't even scratch its nose.
Lilith looked at the cage and laughed. She dragged her chin and looked at the cage thoughtfully, "It's really good, but there is a better "cage" in my magic palace dungeon. If you need it, I can take it out next time and let our "beast" experience it."
"Oh? It sounds interesting. Let's talk about it next time. There will be a next time." Vito smiled and put his hands on his waist, turned around and looked at Lilith on the side. He patted his chest and held his head high.
"Okay, everything is ready. Now perform your little magic for me, but remember! Don't turn me into anything weird." Vito said seriously, while Lilith on the side of him smiled as if she was looking at a little doll that could be dressed up.
"Okay, I promise." Lilith said, pointing her finger at Vito and shaking it. Purple powder then floated out from her fingertips and covered Vito's body, instantly changing his appearance into a beautiful elf woman.
Vito looked at his upright chest in surprise. The clothes that men wore could hardly fit. Was it him or her? I don't know. Vito raised his slender, cold but unusually beautiful face and looked at Lilith. His black hair fell from both sides of his head like a waterfall.
"Lily!" Vito's voice also became a woman's, low and hoarse but unusually beautiful, like a lark. Lilith looked at Vito in front of her, smiled and walked up to him. Her hands stretched through the black hair on both sides of his head and hugged his neck.
Lilith leaned in front of Vito, looking at the beautiful face like porcelain and the purple eyes like purple gemstones, "Oh, dear, you look so beautiful, I want to eat you in one bite."
"Why are you like Malès? Can you be normal! I don't play lesbian!" "Oh? Then" "Even more! Hurry up and change back!"
Vito shouted loudly in that female voice, but before Lilith, who was smiling in front of him, could say anything, footsteps came from outside the cabin behind them, and the low footsteps stepped on the ground outside.
"Wow, it looks like our beast is here, the one that is going to be put in the cage, how about it? Beautiful beast trainer, go and conquer it~" Lilith smiled and hugged Vito's arm, dragged him to the door of the cabin and pushed him hard, letting him step out of the door at once.
Vito almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. The heavy water ball on his chest made Vito unable to adjust to the balance for a while, but he didn't fall down in the end. But when he raised his head, he thought it would be better for him to fall to the ground, face down.
Magnus stood in front of Vito, looking at the female Vito in front of him with a look of hesitation. He could recognize that it was Vito at a glance. After all, even if he used the process of elimination, he knew who else could be here after removing himself and subtracting Lilith? And even without this method, Magnus could recognize Vito's psychic features, so he knew that the person in front of him was Vito, but...
Magnus looked at Vito in front of him, and after a long silence, he reluctantly said, "Pretty, um, pretty good." "Shut up! Brat."
Vito said angrily in that pleasant female voice, he covered his face and turned to look at Lily behind him, "Dead girl, change back to me!"
Standing on the hatch, Lilith spread her legs, she hugged her arms and looked at the angry Vito in front of her with a happy and enjoyable face, "You are great like this, dear, believe me, a beautiful animal trainer will definitely attract more attention and help you get sponsorship."
"Fuck you! Change back to me!" Vito raised his head and yelled angrily, and that cute look made Lilith laugh even more, she looked up at Magnus behind Vito, who also looked at Vito in front of her with a wry smile.
"What do you think? Magnus, is he good like this?"
"How should I put it? You really have a unique charm like this, which is good." "Bullshit! Lily! Change back immediately! Right now!"
Vito raised one hand and roared. Golden lightning instantly jumped out of his palm. He roared angrily and threateningly. Lilith, who was standing at the door of the cabin, hugged her arms, held her chin, smiled and shrugged. She shook her fingers lightly, and the dust covering Vito's body flickered again.
In the blink of an eye, Vito turned back to his normal appearance, a common male Eldar. He touched the clothes that finally flattened his chest, stared at Lilith, who had no regrets or apologies, and sighed silently.
Vito put his hands on his hips and turned to look at Magnus behind him. He looked at the big guy in front of him with a smile and snorted, "You've seen enough of me. Now it's your turn to be unlucky! Lily! Turn him into a big monster, the weirder the better!"
"What?" Magnus asked in surprise, looking up at Lilith who raised her palm lightly and shook her fingers in front of her, "Okay."
Lilith's fingers turned lightly in front of her, and the purple smoke sprayed out from her fingertips. The clouds and smoke passed from both sides of Vito and suddenly enveloped Magnus, completely submerging him in it.
Lilith, who was standing at the door, raised her hands, and her fingers flexibly fiddled in front of her, as if she was adjusting something. She danced her fingers with a smile on her face, and the smoke also moved with the amplitude of her fingertips, constantly changing left and right in that place.
After a while, Lilith's right finger gently pulled, and the mist instantly retreated towards Vito, blowing all over Vito, making him drowned in the sea of clouds.
"Okay." Lilith's pleasant voice sounded behind him, and Vito waved his palm to disperse the purple smoke in front of him. The thick smoke quickly disappeared from Vito's sight, and behind the dissipated smoke, a tall figure, a strange figure, was exposed.
As the smoke completely dissipated, Magnus looked at his whole body. He raised his hands and looked at the palms replaced by thick fingers, as well as his larger, muscular abdomen and thick thighs that looked like fat.
After a moment of shock, he looked at his still red skin. His eyes followed his arms down and saw the red mane covering his chest and arms. The thick mane completely covered his almost naked upper body. Magnus was stunned and quickly touched his head again. All his hair disappeared. In other words, he was bald.
Magnus's head turned into a round red boiled egg head. His fingers touched a horn growing from his forehead. The wide horn rose forward and slightly tilted up in front of his head.
Magnus touched the chitinous horn and touched his face with his thick fingers. His eye patch disappeared, or rather, the eye patch disappeared with the glasses. Magnus touched for a long time before he touched the edge of the eyelid of a large eye in the center of his face.
Magnus was stunned and shouted, "Vito! What the hell have you turned me into?!"
And Vito in front of him, holding his chin and looking at Magnus in front of him with gloating, Vito slightly turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Lilith behind him, who also smiled proudly and lifted the hair beside her ear.
Vito slowly turned around and looked at Magnus in front of him with a smile, "Do you know that in ancient Terra, there is a legendary monster called the one-eyed ogre? I have never seen a living one."
Vito raised a hand with a playful smile on his face and pointed at Magnus in front of him, looking at his whole body. Magnus' body has become like the legendary ogre, bloated and tall, with well-developed limbs and rough skin like sandpaper.
His hair disappeared, leaving only a bald head. Vito felt that the hair hall had turned into a mane, covering the entire shoulder, chest and back, just like a brown bear that had lost its hair and became bald.
The big round eyes were wide open on his huge head, with a pair of fat ears on both sides and a horn on his forehead that looked very similar to the demon of Nurgle. Magnus can now be truly called a Cyclops.
If it were normal, Vito's first reaction when seeing this kind of monster might be to draw his gun and kill it, but now that Vito knew who was under the appearance of the beast, the look changed from scary to funny and he couldn't stop laughing.
"You really look like a ferocious beast now, just like I said, playing your true colors, but it's still a little bit of a little thing." Vito said with a gloating smile, and Magnus in front of him sighed helplessly, regretting why he agreed to Vito's plan. If others saw him like this, how could he meet people as a Primarch in the future.
But what Magnus didn't know was that this was not the most interesting part of the day, so he raised his head and looked at Vito in front of him with his one eye, "You bastard, I'm already like this, what else do I need?"
Vito took out an iron collar from his arms with a smile. The collar was connected to a long iron chain and hung in front of Vito. He smiled at Magnus in front of him and shook the collar in his hand.
"This."
In the name of the Emperor, happy National Day, I wish all loyalists (remember to vote for the monthly ticket) and aliens, Chaos happy holidays, have fun.
