Warhammer: Saving Humanity Begins with the Resurrection of Horus

Page 6

If that's true, it's incredibly audacious. This would mean offending two of the biggest gangs at the same time. Before you can even enjoy the benefits, a bunch of people will come knocking and shred you into meat sauce.

"who are you?"

Monger looked at the white-haired girl and questioned her identity.

"You heretics are not worthy to know my identity! All of you, get back, or I'll kill this guy!"

The white-haired girl gripped the dagger with a slight tightening of her hand, causing the sharp blade to cut her skin and draw blood.

Damn it.

Lin Qi felt a slight pain in his neck, which made his eyelids twitch wildly.

I'm not Guilliman! And you're not a snake demon, so don't try to wipe my neck!

If Guilliman was slit in the throat and ended up as an exhibit in Macurag, where would I go if I were slit in the throat?

Will the Emperor, out of respect for Horus's remnant soul, send me to the Terra Palace?

Monger's expression darkened, but he did not make any rash moves. If this person who suddenly appeared had taken anyone else hostage, someone would have acted without hesitation. But she had taken Lin Qi hostage.

Neither the Blood Alliance nor the Ascension Gang would easily relinquish their weapons and equipment until they obtained information about the other party's possession.

"Um, move the dagger down a little."

Lin Qi spoke to the white-haired girl, offering a reminder.

"If you keep doing this and accidentally rub my neck, you won't be leaving here."

"Shut up, wizard. I know you're an illegal psychic. Don't try to bewitch me with words, and don't even think about using your psychic powers. My dagger is faster than your sorcery."

However, despite saying that, the white-haired girl still moved her dagger so that it was no longer in near-blank contact with her neck.

It's alright, we have some things to talk about.

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was encountering those eccentric people who were completely impossible to communicate with, which was the most mentally taxing thing.

Under control, Lin Qi walked step by step into the deep alley. The white-haired girl let out a long breath, reached her free hand to her waist, and took out a black sphere.

"I suggest you put the dagger down."

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Shut up and behave yourself."

"I really suggest you put it down, because it's about to explode."

"Ok?"

The white-haired girl looked confused, not quite understanding what Lin Qi meant.

But the next moment, as intense flames flashed on both sides of the street, she immediately understood.

It's just the literal meaning.

"boom!"

The pre-planted explosives underwent a violent chemical reaction, with towering flames and a powerful shockwave spreading outwards, instantly knocking over two groups of people on the street.

The guards rushed forward and protected the bald woman who was not far from the explosion.

The two were thrown into the air by the shockwave, and the bodyguard's body was also intensely burned by the flames, emitting a rich aroma of roasted meat.

"who is it!"

The bald woman stood up, and despite her disheveled appearance, she glared fiercely at Munger and his Blood Alliance members, who were not as disheveled as they had been.

Both were explosions, so why did they suffer heavy casualties, while the other side seemed to have much less damage?

Could it be that they did it? Did they conspire with that man from the very beginning to wipe out the entire Ascension Gang?

The bald woman knew that such speculation lacked evidence, but she had no time to look for evidence now. She simply raised her hand, and as a white light flashed in her eyes, a bolt of lightning gathered at her fingertips.

Psychic lightning.

"Uh-huh!!!"

The pale electric snake twisted and shot out, turning several blood alliance members to ashes in just a few seconds.

"Damn it! Oglin's son!"

Monger cursed angrily, now he understood what had happened.

The person who carried out the bombing deliberately targeted the Ascension Gang, intending to create a misunderstanding between the two sides and then cause them to fight.

This is a blatant conspiracy. Keep in mind that the two sides had just ended a gang war not long ago. Given their hostile relationship, even the slightest provocation could trigger further conflict.

"Meet the enemy!"

At this point, Monger had nothing more to say. He roared, then pushed off with his calves, charging towards the bald woman like a beast.

A crimson light flowed through his muscles, greatly reducing the effectiveness of psychic magic on him.

The bald woman and Monger were locked in fierce combat, while at the edge of the battlefield, the white-haired girl, who had been caught in the blast, got up from the ground and began coughing violently.

"Ahem... this is..."

The white-haired girl looked at everything in front of her and, combined with what Lin Qi had said to her earlier, immediately realized what was going on.

"you……"

The white-haired girl shifted her gaze, wanting to ask Lin Qi, who had just been blown away by the shockwave of the explosion along with her.

But the next moment, a voice came from behind her, and her body froze on the spot.

"do not move."

Lin Qi countered the white-haired girl, holding a dagger to her neck.

"Come with me."

Lin Qi spoke, and then led the white-haired girl deep into the alley.

The sounds of battle between the Blood Alliance and the Ascension Gang continued to echo, a mix of screams and roars. Finally, another violent explosion occurred, and a large amount of smoke and dust covered everything in the surrounding space, causing the sounds to gradually subside.

Lin Qi released the white-haired girl and slowly backed away. After determining the distance, he threw the dagger back into the air.

"Wizard, what are you going to do..."

"I once heard in a tavern that when Huron was in control of the Badab regime, the family of the then planetary governor did not all die out, but some escaped to space."

Lin Qi watched the white-haired girl's changing expression and spoke calmly.

"If I remember correctly, it was a rebellion. So, miss, who are you?"

“My family has never betrayed us! This was all a conspiracy by that damned tyrant! He is the real traitor!”

The white-haired girl said these words through gritted teeth, but seeing her expression, Lin Qi actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the white-haired girl and spread out his hands.

“Then we are no longer enemies, Miss Demore.”

"What are you talking about, wizard?"

The white-haired girl snorted coldly, while slowly reaching her hand behind her waist.

But the next moment, as a tall figure appeared in her field of vision, her breathing became rapid, and her whole body froze, stopping her movements.

Gawain carried the unconscious Munger in his hands, his black robe spotless.

"How to deal with it?"

Lin Qi knew who he was asking about and shook his head.

"No need to take action, we are not enemies."

After saying that, Lin Qi looked at the white-haired girl who was already trembling with fear and reached out his hand.

"Although our goals are different, our enemies are the same. So, how about it? Want to cooperate with us?"

"who are you?"

"who?"

Lin Qi pondered for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Gao Wen.

It seems the Emperor hasn't assigned me a proper identity yet.

Gao Wen did not respond, but simply lowered his head in silence.

Okay, then don't blame me for making this up.

“You may call me Eugene Guilliman Po.”

Chapter 8 The Blessed Lady

Eugene Guilliman Bo.

It was clearly a fake name, but the white-haired girl took a deep breath and spoke with a serious expression.

“Omar Guilliman Poe, why do you say we have a common enemy?”

"Now that things have come to this, shouldn't you tell me your name first, Miss Demore?"

The white-haired girl looked at Lin Qi, then at the indifferent-looking "Oglin" next to him, took a deep breath, and slowly uttered a name.

“Lappland, you can call me Lappland.”

Lin Qi nodded slightly and remembered the name.

Before Huron gained control of Badab, the planet was ruled by the Demor family, who resided in Demor Hive.

This family has a long history, and it is said that their ancestors served the Empire during the Great Expedition and were appointed as planetary governors after making great contributions.

However, in 718M41, with the occurrence of a rebellion, there was no longer a planetary governor on Badab.

Huron led the Star Claws to purge all the "traitors" and made Badab the Chapter's permanent homeworld.

However, rumors still circulate in the city that some members of the governor's family did not die, but escaped to space in a spaceship.

In retrospect, this rumor was not entirely false.

Similarly, there must have been other hidden circumstances surrounding that rebellion back then.

Lin Qi thought of many things and realized that he could obtain a lot of useful information from the white-haired girl in front of him.

"I said we have a common enemy because we are also dealing with that tyrant Huron."
