Warhammer in a box

Chapter 139 Demon Hunter

"Saint Rebecca, do you think His Majesty Carl will provide us Terra with magicians? I heard that those magicians have very bad tempers."

Rebecca had received orders from the God-Emperor, and she set out for Altdorf with some soldiers and nuns.

The nun next to him asked anxiously. Most of the nuns were converted refugees and civilians. It was inevitable that they would be a little timid when facing those who were originally superior to them or even legendary.

But in Rebecca's eyes, this was a sign of lack of piety and loyalty.

“Xien, go back and copy the prayer to the Emperor a hundred times. You should not be afraid of those who have not yet converted to the Emperor’s arms. If you are afraid of them, then when you face them or are coerced or even threatened by them, how can you stick to your faith in the Emperor? This time we are not only on a mission from the Emperor, but also going to the center of the Empire to spread the Empire’s faith.

The people of this world have not yet realized that only by believing in the Emperor can they save themselves and the world."

"I'm sorry, Saint Rebecca, I repent." Sheen showed a regretful expression, his face full of self-blame.

At this time, a soldier came to Rebecca.

"Saint, it's getting late. There is a village called Campelbad ahead. Why don't we stay there tonight?"

Listening to the soldier's words and the sky already turning dark, although Rebecca wanted to travel faster, for safety's sake, she agreed to this decision.

The team quickly entered the village, but compared with other villages and towns, this village seemed a little too deserted, and the soldiers guarding the city wall were obviously a little nervous.

After checking the documents of Rebecca and others, the soldiers respectfully welcomed everyone into the city.

"Sir, our town has been a little uneasy lately. It would be best if you and your servants stay indoors at night as much as possible," the guard kindly reminded.

"It's not peaceful?"

"That's right. There have been many murders in the village recently. More than a dozen people have died. The murderer has not been found yet. The crime scene was so horrible. Even the only priest of the Sigma Church here died. The church has gone to Altdorf for help. Some people say it was a cultist!"

The soldier deliberately lowered his voice when he said these three words, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

"Cultist?!" Rebecca frowned after hearing the soldier's words. Then she took out a double-headed eagle decoration she had drawn from her pocket and handed it to the soldier.

"Thank you for reminding me. Take it. It may save your life someday. Praise the Emperor."

The soldier took it stupidly. Although he didn't know what it was, he still thanked him.

As Rebecca walked on the streets of the town, she missed Terra more and more. These medieval towns seemed so backward and simple in front of Terra.

It was hard to imagine that the city of Terra was built in just one year. Rebecca once again praised the Emperor in her heart.

At this moment, Rebecca saw a man dressed in black walking in front of the team. The dark robe seemed to hide him in the darkness. The soldiers in the team held their rifles vigilantly. As Rebecca's guards, although they were not from the Astra Militarum, the soldiers in this team were also elite soldiers. They keenly realized that the other party was definitely not a civilian.

As the man approached, Rebecca saw his face clearly. He was an unkempt and extremely weathered man. His worn-out clothes showed that he did not live a rich life. The man actually stopped in front of the team.

"Stop! Tell me why you're here!" the soldier shouted.

"Sir, please forgive my interruption. Is the thing in your hand what is called an automatic rifle?" The man's vicissitudes of life voice sounded.

"who are you?"

"My name is Reginaldo Hodges, and I'm a demon hunter. I accepted the bounty and came here to look for possible cultists. May I ask if I can use gold coins to buy the weapon in your hand?"

"Go away! Demon Hunter! These weapons are not for sale!"

"Okay. I'll leave now." Hodges only said this tentatively. The news about the automatic guns could not be concealed. He had already heard about the power of these weapons.

"Witcher, where do you belong, the Church of Sigmar?" Rebecca asked.

Demon hunters can be said to be a general term in the Middle Ages. There are many factions, both official and wild. The official ones are those demon hunters who are commissioned by the church. They can also be called regular troops. With the support of the church, they do not need to worry about supplies or injuries. The church will be responsible for everything about them and their training.

Their mission is to eliminate the targets set by the church. Some of these demon hunters have apparently obtained new weapons provided by Carl and the Church of Sigmar, and began to spread them in the demon hunter circle.

And a large part of the ragtag army of demon hunters can only be called mercenaries at best. Although they call themselves demon hunters, their targets are not only Chaos creatures or cultists. They accept any bounty and earn gold coins to make a living.

But in addition to these miscellaneous brands, there are also a few demon hunters who regard hunting Chaos and cultists as their mission. They have superb combat skills and use their muskets, silver bullets and silver swords to fulfill their mission and roam the entire old world.

They just don't like the constraints of the church, so they refuse to join the church, but the empire will also provide help to these demon hunters. Various churches generally will not refuse to help them and heal their wounds, but all this requires the demon hunters to pay gold coins.

"No sir, I am just a free hunter whose duty is to hunt Chaos creatures."

Listening to his words, Rebecca obviously already knew which category the person in front of her belonged to.

"Demon Hunter, have you found any clues here?"

"I have discovered a little bit. I have informed my companions and they are on their way. I have been hunting these guys for twenty years. I can almost conclude that this time it is a cult that is performing some filthy rituals. I have been to those death scenes and I have seen traces of wizards and even evil magic circles. Although the man tried to wipe them off when he left, there were still clues left. The cultist is performing an evil sacrifice!"

"Hold on, demon hunter. We have the same goal. We are all defenders of world order. We also regard hunting chaos as our responsibility. Take it. Also, if you find any key clues or encounter terrible enemies, you can come to me. I am Rebecca from Terra, a believer in the God-Emperor."

Rebecca handed over a double-headed eagle statue carved from a divine symbol and told Hodges where she lived.

Since there is chaos here, Rebecca decided to leave after she has dealt with the issues here.
