Warhammer in a box

Chapter 11 The chess piece is alive?

Gulman and his cavalry left the city and rode into the forest. As these little men with double-headed eagle symbols on their heads entered some areas covered by the fog of war, it turned out to be just as Zhang Heng had expected.

The fog gradually dissipated where the cavalry passed, and Zhang Heng could see everything clearly.

The importance of information in war is self-evident. Zhang Heng immediately sent a message to Gulman, asking him to separate a few cavalrymen, and then let these cavalrymen only keep their weapons for self-defense, throw away all the rest, and transfer them to become scouts specifically to help Zhang Heng explore the map.

Gulman and his men certainly didn't know Zhang Heng's abilities. Although they were confused, they still chose to do as he asked.

The four cavalrymen rode away in four directions. Zhang Heng did not let them go too far, but set a distance of 10 kilometers. If they were too far, he was afraid that these people would encounter some accidents. There were many monsters in the wild of Warhammer, and humans were too weak in front of these existences.

The extra five kilometers are enough for Zhang Heng to discover any possible dangers, and the 10 kilometers also serve as a buffer zone for Zhang Heng to respond.

When Gurman's cavalry completed their mission and rejoined the team, it was already dark. The time in the box almost matched the time in reality. It was already 4 a.m. in reality, but Zhang Heng was extremely alert and not sleepy at all.

He discovered strangely that as more and more little people in the box believed in him and became more devout, his spirit became more energetic, and his body, which had been destroyed by staying up late, smoking, drinking, and an unhealthy lifestyle, seemed to be slowly recovering.

Even now, he only needs two or three hours a day to stay energetic.

Zhang Heng, who was lying in bed unable to sleep, was playing with a small game chess piece. This was one of the chess pieces of the 40k Imperial Cadian Shock Troops. He bought this chess piece because he saw those videos about the Imperial Astra Militarum on the Internet and was attracted by the tenacious will of these tiny mortals in the 40k dark universe.

But it must be said that the genuine set of chess pieces was too expensive, and Zhang Heng did not have the patience to paint them himself, so he did not buy any more.

"Hey? It would be great if every soldier in the medieval Empire had a laser rifle. A 40k flashlight would be a real killer weapon in the medieval times."

With a sigh, Zhang Heng put the chess piece back on the bedside and then fell into a deep sleep.

But without Zhang Heng knowing, he accidentally touched the chess piece when he turned over. As luck would have it, the chess piece on the bedside fell into an open box next to him.

As the chess piece fell to the ground of the world in the box, the chess piece, which was originally 3 to 4 cm in size, began to shrink slowly under the wrapping of a golden force, and became about the same height as the little people in this world, but in terms of physique, it was obviously a head taller and more robust than the medieval humans.

The body originally made of plastic actually began to move gradually, and soon the Warhammer chess piece actually had life.

The chess piece that had just come to life was still in a daze. Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he immediately held up his laser rifle and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

"Second Lieutenant Marcus Key of the 267th Cadian Assault Regiment confirms the order to protect Holy Terra for the Emperor and eliminate the xenos!"

The Cadian soldier repeated this order as if it were engraved in his soul from the moment he began to live.

Marcus quickly stood up from his half-kneeling alert state and began to rush towards Terra. At this time, the vanguard of the orcs had already entered the edge of the fog.

The Dark Poison Clan rushed towards Terra in a mighty force. Any living creature along the way would fall into their hands. The dense forests blocking the way also fell to the ground under the orcs' blades. The goblin wolf riders and orc war pig boys galloped through the forest.

"Waaaagh~" The roar of the orcs was particularly obvious in the silent night. "Huh? Orcs?" Marcus stopped running. Behind him, he could hear the war cry of the orcs. Only greenskins would shout this WAAAGH. Listening to the sound approaching,
Marcus immediately turned off the searchlight in front of the laser rifle and hid behind a bush. He hid behind the bush motionlessly and observed everything carefully, while the laser rifle in his hand was raised and aimed at the direction where the sound came from.

Countless battles and training have enabled this Cadian soldier to maintain a high level of fighting enthusiasm even when alone.

In the quiet forest, Marcus could only hear his own breathing. A moment later, in the direction he was aiming, a dozen orcs riding their mounts appeared in his sight.

"Stop!" an orc shouted to his companions, because the mount under him was spinning in place restlessly, which meant that it smelled the scent of humans.

"There are humans nearby! Search!"

Then a dozen orcs dispersed and searched nearby, and the orc who spoke first, guided by his mount, went towards the bushes where Marcus was.

As they got closer to the bushes, the orcs raised their weapons and prepared to attack at any time.

A cruel smile appeared on his face, as if he was mocking this smart human who was hiding behind the bushes and thought he couldn't be found.

But just when he was about four or five meters away from the bushes, there was a "buzz" sound.

The orc only felt a flash of red light before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down at his chest in disbelief, and a huge hole suddenly appeared in his chest. Around the hole, the orc's flesh and blood had been completely burnt and carbonized by the high temperature.

"Human..." A human wearing clothes he had never seen before, holding a weapon like an imperial musket, was looking at him coldly, and the orc fell to the ground unwillingly.

"Tsk, it's you dirty greenskins again!" Marcus succeeded in his attack and did not stop his actions. After shooting the war pig under the orc, he immediately turned the gun towards other orcs.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz" the laser rifle kept beeping, and each laser accurately hit an orc. This was the shooting skill that Marcus had honed through countless battles and training. The orcs did not expect that the laser rifle in his hand was so sharp. Their powerful vitality was not worth mentioning at all under this dimensionality reduction attack.

One by one, the orcs and goblins were killed before they could get close to Marcus.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Marcus continued to rush towards Terra without any stop. The following orc cavalry troops were also attracted here by the sound of fighting. This time there were not just a dozen orcs, but hundreds of orcs and goblins.

After these orcs briefly checked the bodies of their companions, they all chased after Marcus in anger. They didn't care who the enemy was or how they killed their companions. They only wanted to kill Marcus.

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhang Heng woke up from his sleep. He had only slept for more than two hours, but he felt full of energy.

"It was such a comfortable sleep." Zhang Heng couldn't help but stretch.

"Huh? There's a sound?" Zhang Heng looked at the open box. He vaguely heard the sound of fighting coming from the box.
