Warhammer in a box

Chapter 32 Insider

Soon a young man in his twenties was found from the evacuated crowd. Under the guidance of the swordsman, the man came to Ludwig.

"What's your name? You just said you know where the beastmen's lair is?" Ludwig stared at the person in front of him seriously.

"My name is Luke, I know, I really know!" Luke said tremblingly as he walked along Ludwig, who looked even older than him. Ludwig, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, had already developed the temperament of a superior. Luke saw with his own eyes that Ludwig rushed into the herd of beasts alone, and killed several big horned beasts without any injury.

"Tell us everything you know. Don't panic. But if you lie to us, I will let you know the consequences!"

"Sir! I didn't lie to you! I...you have to promise me that you can't kill me!" Luke didn't say it directly, but kept emphasizing it.

"Not kill you? What's going on! You must say first that I will not kill any innocent person!" Ludwig became curious after seeing Luke's reaction.

"Well...my wife and I got married three years ago and had a child," Luke said hesitantly.

"Child? So what? Will I kill you just because you gave birth to a child?" Ludwig was puzzled.

"But my child is a beastman with a goat's head and human clothes." When Luke said this, his face was so nervous that it was about to be distorted, and even his body began to tremble.

After hearing what Luke said, Ludwig finally understood why Luke was so scared.

The origin of the beastmen has long been unknown. Why is it said that beastmen will exist forever as long as humans do not become extinct? It is because under unknown influences, a completely normal couple has a very small chance of giving birth to a beastman when they are conceiving a child.

No one can truly explain why, and can only regard it as the influence of Chaos' corruption on the mortal world.

The only attitude humans have towards these aliens is to kill them all, not just the children, but even the parents of these children will be purified as well if they know who they are.

The Church of Sigmar has always had zero tolerance for this alien existence.

The parents who raised these monsters had different ways of treating their special children. Some would directly and cruelly kill and bury them, while others would fight to the death to protect their children and be purified by the priests of the church.

Another way is to put them in the wild, and the cries of these alien children will attract beastmen, who will raise these special children and raise them up. After they are completely integrated into the beast group, they will become no different from other beastmen.
"My wife and I were very scared after giving birth to our child. We both knew what was going to happen. We were confused and hesitant. I even picked up a knife several times to free my child from the pain of being burned at the stake, but I couldn't do it.
We didn't dare tell anyone, we lied to others that our child died, but in fact we hid him in the cellar all day long. The mental torture made my wife crazy. I knew that this couldn't go on. If we continued, our whole family would die. "Luke couldn't stop crying as he spoke.

"Well, what happened next?" Ludwig also sighed. He understood the Sigmar Church's attitude towards these creatures even better than Luke.

"Later, one night when my wife was asleep, I secretly took him out. Taking advantage of the night, I ran all the way with him towards the forest in the north. After running for a long time, I left him in the forest and abandoned him. Originally, I thought I could be so cruel, but after I looked back, I still regretted it. I went back the same way and wanted to take my child back. But I saw a bad-horned beast holding him in its arms and walking into the depths of the forest. I didn't know where I got the courage at that time, I secretly followed behind all the way, looking for an opportunity to snatch my child back!

But we ended up in a strange place, where the woods and caves were filled with bones, and the smell of blood was so strong that it almost made me faint. Listening to the roars of beasts, I got scared and ran back to the town desperately!

I dared not tell anyone about this! I just remembered it when you mentioned the beastman's nest nearby! ! "Luke excitedly told everything he knew.

"What! Do you remember where that place is?" Ludwig was almost certain that Luke was talking about the place they were looking for!
"I remember! I even went to that place by myself afterwards. Although I didn't dare to get close, the direction was definitely right!" Luke continued.

"Luke, if you are so scared, why do you say it?"

"After I sent the child away, my wife went completely crazy and hanged herself on the beam of the house. I wanted to die and see if I could find my child. I knew my idea was a fantasy, but I just wanted to try."

Ludwig was actually hesitant. Since becoming Zhang Heng's follower, he had not faced any incidents involving these special aliens, and he didn't even know Zhang Heng's attitude towards these aliens.

Ludwig closed his eyes and prayed for Zhang Heng's response, and Zhang Heng also heard his voice.

"Ludwig, believe him and do it!" To be honest, Zhang Heng was not so disgusted with these innocent aliens. The official story also told him that these beastmen born by humans were not all evil, not to mention these innocent parents.
Ludwig was relieved after hearing Zhang Heng's response.

"Come on! Give this fellow some armor and a sword! Warriors of the Emperor, we have work to do!"

Zhang Heng, who was in the perspective of God, also listened to Luke's story with a heavy face. He really didn't know what beliefs the people in the Middle Ages and 40k relied on to live. Then he looked at the peaceful and prosperous world he lived in.
“I hope these things will never happen to me!”

Zhang Heng also strengthened his determination to change the status quo with his own strength. He had no ability before, but now he has obtained the world in the box. He has no reason not to do something! The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Luke put on his armor clumsily. The sword was extremely uncoordinated in his hand. Luke was also just a farmer. He really didn't know how to fight. Fortunately, Ludwig arranged two soldiers to protect him closely.

"That! It's this direction! After passing through a forest, you will find a stream. There is an old dead tree on the north side of the stream. On the right side of the old tree, there is a path covered by bushes! The deepest part of the path should be there!" Luke pointed to the front.

Ludwig also looked at Marcus, and Marcus confirmed the direction by comparing it with the instrument on the servo skull. He nodded at Ludwig, which meant that the direction was correct and Luke's words were credible.

"Very good, Luke! If what you said is true, not only will you not die, but you will also make a contribution! People need faith to live, and the great Emperor will give you salvation."

"Emperor?!"
