The darkness is full of mice.
Or, there are mice everywhere.
If we use the standard of ordinary people, it is too underestimated to describe those creatures with the word "mouse" - these pests are full of bloated and mutated, carry diseases, and have super-sized fleas attached to them. Although they are parasitized by fleas of little fingers, they are not well received.
For Johnson, these things must undoubtedly be eliminated, distorted by the power generated inside the corrupt nest, from simple pests to something more threatening.
And they are everywhere, lurking underwater, and will jump out at any time with screams that ordinary creatures cannot make.
"I didn't expect we had to drill the stinky ditch and fight a rat that was taller than my knee."
Johnson complained that he pierced another beast with the Katachang fighting knife. This sharp blade, which is nearly 1.3 meters long, is called the Katachang Demon's Claw, and is more like a sword than a combat knife.
For a Katachang warrior, a saber is not just a tool, but also a symbol of his own identity. The Katachang Demon Claw represents the identity of a veteran of wars. The steel alloy for casting this saber can only be found on the planet Katachang. These sophisticated Katachang sabers are not only difficult to rust, but also remain sharp and extremely durable. Therefore, they are famous throughout the empire and are difficult to buy at high prices.
The mutant rat struggled under the stench of the trench, and its legs and tail hit Johnson's arm frantically, but it could not be bitten because it was nailed until it stopped moving.
"Thank you mom's nipples."
A rough voice came from Johnson, and then the towering figure walking in front of Johnson, who seemed to be a hill of muscles turned around and continued to curse:
"This is a swimming pool compared to the places we have been to before. Have you secretly gone to the brothel and made your bones softer?"
The strong man who spoke had a thick neck and a big bald head, and his face was covered with crisscrossing scars. One of his eyes was pulled out of the eye socket by some kind of limbs and thick shells in a distant world, and replaced by a prosthetic eye, but this made him even more fierce. In "reward", he used his arms to break the neck of the alien, which was twice as big as his size.
He had little protection on his body, only a mottled green jacket full of armed straps and sturdy camouflage pants.
While speaking, he suddenly reached out his hand and stabbed a mutant mouse as big as a hunting dog with a bayonet to death.
The sharp Katachang-style blade sank directly into the skull, killing the disgusting thing in an instant - although they moved very quickly, the reactions of these people were almost instinctive, as if they were the real masters of the dim drainage channel.
"No...I don't mean that, Sergeant Huck."
Seeing the other party's angry face, Johnson's big head shrank in fear, and he pulled the blade from the corpse and added:
"I thought we could just fuck the traitors' ass with guns."
As a veteran of Katachang who was nearly two meters tall and his muscles were like steel. He had been struggling in the war for more than ten years, this was the only one who could make him so afraid, the top star among Katachang's legends - "Stone Tooth" Hack.
Among the Katachang people who are famous for their strong individual strength, Hakk is also a dragon among humans. He is famous for "only love the most wild Glocks beasts". In fact, some stories about him will make those non-Katchang people mistakenly think that he is the embodiment of the emperor's power, and not a mortal soldier.
But in fact, the eyes that Hack lost proves that he is not inferior to swords and guns. The most unique thing about Hack is that his attitude towards war is at a balance between fanaticism and calmness. He is always full of energy, but he will not be reckless. This makes him a true tactical master, which is also the point he respects most by veterans.
Only veterans who have truly come out of the bloody storm will understand that reason and calmness are the most powerful weapons on the battlefield, and only those young boys will worship the so-called invincible physical strength.
"Thinking too beautifully, even if you just climb those bunkers and walls can exhaust you, or do you like being a construction worker who pushes all the walls down with a shovel? Like those Kriegers who wear breathing masks every day, like that's a fucking pacifier?"
"Uh, I apologize for my complaints, Sergeant."
A mutant mouse rushed out of the dirty water, as if aiming at his knees. Sergeant Huck actually grabbed the beast's neck with his hands, then pulled one of its eyes with his fingers, and the thing screamed.
Sergeant Huck then threw his bloody eyes into his mouth and chewed them, and then spit out again.
"It's bitter and spicy! But at least it's not poisonous."
Then he used his palm to crush the spine of the thing directly.
"Are you coming soon?"
Another muffled voice suddenly rang at the end of the team, and Johnson knew who it was without having to look at it.
In this elite team of Katachang Second Regiment, there is no ordinary person who can enter this demon squad, but the one who speaks is always unfamiliar with Johnson, because he rarely joins a certain demon squad in the regiment and often acts alone.
The Katachang Demon Squad is not the actual name of this team, but a unique organization of the Katachang Infantry Regiment, composed of a Katachang veteran sergeant and 4 to 9 Katachang demons.
The so-called Katachang Demon refers to a giant deadly insect in the home planet of Katachang, and also refers to the elite veterans who are best at using swords to kill. It can be said that they are among the elites rare in the entire astral army. Their superb skills and tactics can even perform the mission of ambushing and hunting the war leaders of the fallen Astartes and the large green-skinned tribes.
"It should be coming soon."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Huck seems to be talking to the person walking in the shadow of the team.
"Once we get into the heresy's defense, we'll kill them and burn them all, but I guess they'll definitely be on guard."
Suddenly, a continuous burst of explosions came from above my head, and all the Katachang demons were excited.
This was the bombardment of the enemy's barriers by the Imperial artillery, which also meant that they were passing through the trench in the right direction. As their routes were intertwined with the curves of the trench, Hack glanced at his bird Buyi, and again determined that they were in the right direction.
Suddenly, Huck stopped.
Johnson glanced forward to see what was going on, but the Sgt. stood completely still in the sewage.
“What happened…”
As soon as he spoke, Huck waved back with one hand.
This sign language has only one meaning.
Boom.
"I just said that these bastards are indeed prepared."
Then, he pointed his other hand below, under the dirty water, towards his feet.
"I can feel it just one meter away in front."
Johnson believed in the sergeant's judgment that no one was more familiar with traps and thunder than the Katachang people. All Katachang soldiers had the same training when they enlisted - without any equipment passing through a hidden mine and trap belt.
Therefore, they have already developed some intuition-like induction.
Huck turned around and carefully removed the tripwire settings connected to explosives on both sides of the trench. These tripwires were set up quite cleverly and were almost difficult to activate by mice.
But besides the boast, there seemed to be other traps ahead. Huck suddenly grabbed an unfortunate mutant mouse and threw it to a certain position more than ten meters away.
Sure enough, the mouse that fell into the water immediately activated a sinister spike trap. When it was pierced in the dirty water, the foul blood flowed out of its body.
The enemy has set up many traps and will definitely think that no one can pass through here.
But they underestimated the Katachang people.
