Warhammer III

Chapter 27: Battle Prediction



After Taiyue and Alexander escaped into the pipe, Chris was the first to react and immediately shot the chicken thief following behind them.

The electrical energy in the high-energy capacitor was quickly converted into an excitation beam, and the straight trajectory converged on the first chicken thief that rushed over. The camouflage clothes on its body turned into charred smoke under the high temperature.

To everyone's surprise, the chicken thief was not dead! It rushed out of the charred smoke, circled around the wall of the pipe, and directly pierced a bailiff next to it with its claws.

Before the chicken thief's claws were pulled out of the bailiff's body, Taiyue's power sword cut off its claws and head from bottom to top.

He was a step slower. When the chicken thief just circled the pipe, he immediately realized that the bailiff next to the pipe might be killed by the chicken thief. The combination of the brain's prediction and the prophetic psychic power presented what would happen in 1 second in the form of an illusion in his mind, but his body could not keep up in the first time.

"Battle Precognition!" Taiyue's mind seemed to be uttered by someone like a babbling. Although the pronunciation was immature, he immediately understood this sentence of High Gothic.

Dodging the bishop's psychic lightning and killing the chicken thief this time both predicted the next battle about 1 second in advance. This is the ability of battle precognition!

Seeing this, Alexander quickly recovered half of the chicken thief's head. Chris's laser rifle did not kill the chicken thief. Its or their chitin structure must be very special!

Chris was also surprised that the chicken thief's defense was so high. Now the laser rifles in her and other bailiffs' hands have become useless. At present, the only thing that can kill the chicken thief is the power sword in Taiyue's hand.

The subsequent chicken thieves rushed into the pipeline one after another. Everyone could only retreat and return along the original route. Chris gritted his teeth and left the mechanical hound to cover everyone.

After escaping for more than ten minutes, the sound from the pipeline behind them made everyone realize that the chicken thief was catching up! They couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Chris sighed and immediately checked the video sent by the mechanical hound before it died: several first- and second-generation hybrid chickens crossed the mechanical hound's incomplete body, and then a huge pure-blooded gene stealer appeared:

It stretched out its disgusting ovipositor, and the mucus on it dripped onto the camera on the head of the mechanical hound. It seemed to find that the hound only had a biological brain and was not worth infecting, so it crushed the hound's brain with one foot, and the signal was interrupted.

Chris was desperate at this moment. She knew what a pure-blooded gene stealer meant.

Pure-blooded gene stealers inject the alien cells of the Tyranids into the target infected organism through the ovipositor. The alien cells will then proliferate in the infected organism, change the host's genes, and form a hybrid infected person. The hybrid infected person can be controlled by the gene stealer's psychic network.

The hybrids still retain human characteristics. They will instinctively seek to reproduce, and those who mate with them will also be infected. The first and second generation hybrids are close to gene stealers, the third generation is close to humans, the fourth generation is basically the same as humans, and the fifth generation has a reversion phenomenon, becoming a pure-blooded gene stealer again, and can start to infect normal humans again.

She didn't know whether she should tell everyone about the current situation. It is still possible to deal with a few first- and second-generation hybrid chicken thieves, but pure-blooded gene stealers are not something everyone can deal with at present, not to mention whether there are more chicken thieves chasing after the signal is interrupted. The most important thing is that laser rifles can't penetrate their shells!

After passing through a narrow opening in the pipeline, Taiyue suddenly stopped and said to everyone: "There is a vertical staircase in front, which is more than 1,000 meters long. It is easy for chicken thieves to catch up with us when we climb the vertical staircase, and we basically can't fight back. We have to get rid of some of the chasing chicken thieves here!"

Alexander was about to agree with Taiyue's opinion, Chris trembled and squatted weakly, and actually cried out!

Taiyue and Alexander looked at each other, thinking that Chris must have used her family's relationship to get into the Ministry of Justice as a legal officer! How could she be so weak in bearing pressure!

Taiyue began to adjust the power of the bailiff's laser rifle to overload mode. Although this would affect the service life of the laser rifle, if the current predicament could not be overcome, these weapons would also add combat power to the chicken thief.

Alexander took over the command of the bailiff in the name of the servant of Judge Todd of the Alien Tribunal. He asked the two bailiffs to continue moving forward and told them to go through the vertical stairs first and prepare to cover the large troops that would arrive later.

"Start overloading the power volley once the alien appears!" The other bailiffs stood in a staggered position, and the front row half-crouched.

Taiyue also activated the power sword and focused on the direction where the chicken thief came from. If the first wave of laser volleys could not kill the chicken thief, he would be ready to make up the knife at any time.

The sound of the chicken thief was getting closer and closer, and the sound echoing in the pipe stimulated everyone's nerves. A few minutes later, the aliens had not yet poked out their bulbous heads protected by chitin shells from the pipes. Tai Yue had already known the timing of their appearance in advance through combat foresight.

"Shoot!" He gave an order.

At this time, two first-generation hybrid chicken thieves appeared in front of everyone, and they were greeted by a volley of lightning rain. After the strong light, the hybrid aliens fell to the ground, and most of their heads had been burned.

Then the other two second-generation hybrids rushed over during the gap. Some of the marshals were a little panicked and instinctively wanted to escape.

"For the emperor! Aim at their knees!" Alexander judged the situation and quickly gave orders.

The power of the second round of volleys fired by the marshals was significantly reduced. The overload attack just now consumed a lot of power, and it had not yet fully charged.

But the power of the volley also melted the legs of the two aliens. After they fell to the ground, they tried to use their claws to move forward and quickly approached everyone.

Taiyue waved the power sword to cut the brain of the chicken thief on the left, and the chicken thief on the right immediately changed its target and stabbed Taiyue with its claws.

After the δ switch and the θ switch were activated in succession, the chicken thief on the right twisted and retracted its claws, and then the blue position of the power sword pierced through its head and then exploded.

"Emperor bless!"

Everyone was covered with the brain and saliva of the chicken thief, which was extremely smelly. This made them know that the chicken thief could also be killed by themselves. Only after experiencing a crisis, the belief in the emperor will become stronger and stronger.

Taiyue leaned over to comfort Chris, "Courage is the sharp blade that we use to defeat the alien heretics. You see, I am just a worker in the nest city and I have the courage to face it. Miss, I will definitely have no problem. The three mixed-blood chicken thieves just now were also eliminated by us."

Chris has calmed down at this moment. Looking at Taiyue's sincere and firm eyes, she thought that she was not only a noble but also a legal officer and had her own dignity, so she wiped away her tears and mustered up the courage to explain the situation to everyone:

"The image before the death of the mechanical hound showed that there was at least one pure-blooded gene stealer chasing behind. I am here to cover everyone. Be sure to take the information out, especially the special nature of the chicken thieves here. The laser rifles currently standard in the Ministry of Justice are ineffective against them. The Fortress Court needs to quickly replace other weapons!"

Marsdan is one of the production bases of the Empire's nuclear reactor parts. Nuclear batteries and high-energy capacitors are the most important by-products of the planet. Laser weapons cannot do without these portable energy sources. Therefore, the main weapons equipped by various power departments on the entire planet are laser rifles. If faced with the attack of chicken thieves, they will definitely suffer heavy losses!

Chris couldn't help but think of the scene after she graduated from Zhongsi College:

She did not choose to be a clerk in the imperial administrative department, nor did she choose to be a nun of the state religion, but chose to become a new legal officer, both a judge and an executioner.

"One day I will sacrifice for the empire, just like my father!" She had been mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that day to come so soon. She hadn't even become a legal officer on her own yet, but the evil enemy of the empire would not give her the opportunity to grow. There are many young names on the electronic tombstone in the fortress court, and perhaps her name will be written on it this time.

"For the emperor!" This sentence is Chris's resolute and firm choice at this moment!

Everyone looked serious after hearing this, and understood what it meant. But now a decision must be made immediately. Alexander decided to take back half of the skull of the thief and send it to the alien research branch for analysis.

"I'll stay too." Taiyue knew that the reason why he was chased by the thief this time was largely because of himself, and only the power sword in his hand was a sharp weapon to deal with the thief!

"You don't have to be like this!" Chris had a little respect for the man whom she looked down on at the beginning.

"My dream is to be a Space Marine of the Emperor and fight for the Empire. If I run away this time, I won't deserve to say this again!" Tai Yue's answer silenced everyone.

Alexander and the other marshals left quickly. They also had important tasks to perform. At this moment, they could only wish him well!

"The Emperor bless you!"
