Warhammer: Saving Humanity Begins with the Resurrection of Horus

Page 12

Yes, thirty years, a gold ring, Sagittarius.

I'd better hurry back and finish what I need to do right now.

"By the way, Commander..."

"You can just call me Horus."

Horus spoke up, correcting Lynch's form of address, and then remarked with emotion.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have become the War Master in the first place. Would it have been a better choice to give it to Leon?"

Lin Qi didn't dare to say anything. He was too afraid to tell Horus that no matter who it was, whether it was a savage or a birdman, or even the most meticulous and ambitious one, once they got involved with the position of War General, they would most likely not have a good ending.

After all, everything that seems unexpected is actually being manipulated in the dark by the hand of the evil god.

And putting everything else aside, making a savage a war commander... that's really a bit ridiculous.

"Horus, are you only allowed to stay in this place for now?"

"No, actually I can use you as an anchor point to move around in the real universe, but the distance I can move cannot exceed thirteen meters around you."

Horus answered, standing up and snapping his fingers.

"You are now out of the warp."

Lynch nodded and immediately switched his perspective. As the world before him opened and closed, an unfamiliar ceiling appeared. He quickly got out of bed and began searching for Horus's whereabouts.

"I am here."

A voice appeared in his ear, and then Lin Qi felt something detaching from his body.

A faint white light began to fill the air, and a bald head emerged directly from Lin Qi's back, followed by his entire body, and finally, he floated in mid-air like a ghost.

“In this state, apart from you, unless your psychic power is strong enough to break Father’s protection, no one can detect my presence.”

Lynch looked at Horus and touched his chin in surprise.

Wouldn't that mean Horus could help scout out the surrounding area later?

However, Horus's next words poured cold water on his idea and made him give up.

"My time in the outside world is limited; it generally cannot exceed one hour. If it goes on for too long, it will greatly deplete my soul, and I will easily fall into the short-term sleep I experienced last time when I helped you."

Well, it took less than an hour, but it can unexpectedly solve a lot of problems at crucial moments.

"Then what else can you do? There must be more than just these things, right?"

Horus looked at Lynch, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

“I can indeed do other things, and I can even significantly increase your strength in a short period of time, but... that requires your cooperation.”

"My cooperation? Explain in detail."

"Then relax and I'll let you experience it."

......

Didn't you sleep well last night?

Lapland sat in the car, frowning as she watched Lynch across from her yawn repeatedly.

"There are some, but they won't affect our subsequent actions."

"Drink this. It's a stimulant from the Mechanicus. One pill will keep you alert and refreshed for the rest of the day. Most importantly, it's not addictive and won't have any side effects on your nervous system."

Lin Qi looked at the small blue pill that Lappland handed him, and without much hesitation, he picked it up and put it in his mouth.

A strong, icy sensation quickly spread through his body, causing Lin Qi to shiver involuntarily and instantly become alert.

"Get ready, we're coming."

The car continued forward until it arrived at a huge elevator.

The elevator took them off the upper hive and finally to the top hive, the true gathering place of the elite in the entire hive, or the pinnacle.

If moving from the lower nest to the upper nest had already made Lynch realize the differences between people within the Empire, then moving from the upper nest to the top of the tower once again refreshed his understanding.

After leaving the elevator platform, the first thing Lin Qi saw was blue sky and white clouds, and green plants planted on both sides of the road, swaying in the wind.

Cars drove by on the street, and their expensive appearances made it clear that they were all quite valuable. The pedestrians were dressed in luxurious and beautiful clothes and accessories, and their friendly expressions made Lin Qi feel as if he had returned to modern society.

The feeling that Shangchao gave him was similar to those modern metropolises he had seen in TV dramas in his previous life, but the top of the tower gave him a strong sense of a modern city, even the most prosperous area of ​​those developed cities.

The leap is too great, making it difficult for people to accept at first.

But when I think about how this place is Warhammer, the human empire, the change suddenly doesn't seem so outrageous.

The top of the tower is a gathering place for great nobles, top bureaucrats, and extraterrestrial visitors. The land here has been divided up by various powerful families, and the nobleman named John, whom Lin Qi and his group are going to attend, owns one-tenth of the top of the tower as his territory.

The car stopped, the doors opened automatically, and Lynch got out first, then helped Lappland out of the car.

His current role is that of Miss Flaherty's personal bodyguard.

In other words, he was the personal bodyguard of a wandering merchant.

"Let's go in first. Once the banquet officially begins, we can then target our objectives one by one."

Chapter 16 Chaos

A sweet aroma filled the air.

Lin Qi's nose twitched slightly, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

The old folks at the top of the pyramid are different; even the air they breathe tastes sweet.

"Over there is the PDF Colonel we're looking for. His name is Hancock. He's a very prestigious figure in the local PDF community. It's unbelievable that he's secretly supporting heretics."

Lappland spoke softly to Lynch.

Following the direction of those emerald eyes, Lin Qi saw an elderly man with white hair wearing a military uniform.

The old man stood tall and straight, with a scar about the length of his little finger on his left cheek. However, it did not make him look fierce; instead, it gave him a resolute military bearing.

At first glance, it's really hard to imagine that such a person is actually a traitor behind the scenes.

Lynch gained a deeper understanding of the pollution of chaos; its fundamental characteristics are its pervasiveness and the stealth before its outbreak.

It's worth noting that even the Cardians, who were constantly on the front lines against Chaos, failed to recognize the Volskane Iron Cavalry, who had been corrupted by Chaos and betrayed humanity and the Empire.

Stopping thinking about other things, Lynch focused his attention on the guards surrounding the colonel.

Just as Texas had provided, apart from the two bodyguards who were only equipped with basic sabers and laser pistols, the colonel's entire original guard was left outside the banquet venue.

With such a strong defense force, it would be incredibly easy to strike if an opportunity presented itself.

"Where are the other two?"

"I haven't seen them yet, they must not have arrived. The banquet has started, let's go in first, and I will point them out to you one by one later."

"That's what Lappland said," she said, then reached out and took Lynch's arm.

Lynch was slightly taken aback and glanced at Lappland.

"You think the job of a bodyguard is just to protect my safety? If needed, you'll also have to double as my male companion later."

Lappland looked at Lynch and smiled slightly.

"Alright, guard, let's go in."

After saying that, she took Lin Qi's arm and pulled him into the venue.

Although it's called a meeting venue, it's actually a huge, empty hall. Directly opposite the main entrance is a chair that's now empty, but it's been decorated with a lot of gold, gemstones, and agate, making it look priceless.

A red carpet was laid out on the floor, and several tables were set with snacks and drinks. Handsome male and female servants moved among the guests, all with polite smiles on their faces, providing satisfactory service.

"This must be Miss Lappland, right?"

Lappland led Lynch to the table and took a glass of wine that gleamed a pale gold under the light. Just then, a voice called out to them.

A young man with slicked-back hair walked over, followed by two flamboyantly dressed female companions.

"Then you must be the eldest son of the Model family, Tark Model."

Lappland gave a polite smile, raised his glass, and toasted the young man.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to know me, Miss Lappland. Where is Miss Texas? I've been thinking about her ever since we last met, and I even wrote her a letter, but I haven't received a reply yet."

The young man spoke with a kind expression, but his gaze began to brazenly scan Lappland from head to toe.

"Miss Lappland, why don't you come over here and we can talk? I'm sure you're very curious to know..."

"Lynch."

"Ah."

Lin Qi stepped forward and slapped the young man without saying a word.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the hall, drawing the attention of everyone present.

"You...you...how dare you..."

"Tark, I've been too kind to you."

Lappland sneered and took Lynch's arm again.

"What makes you think you, a spoiled brat, can talk to me? We are indeed about the same age, but let me remind you..."

“As the second-in-command of the Flahos family, your father is nominally the one who can speak to me on equal terms.”

Lappland's calm tone caused the young man's face to turn pale and then red, but he couldn't find the words to refute her.

Because he knew that what Lappland said was indeed true.

"Tark".

A middle-aged man stepped forward, and the young man's eyes lit up with surprise. He then walked up with his two female companions.

"father……"

"Snapped!"

Symmetrical.

"Disgraceful bastard, get back home."
