Warhammer in a box

Chapter 344 Sacrifice
On the other side, Leo's team consisting of two candidates has begun to encounter the enemy.

This is already their third day in the forest. The forest at night is always more dangerous than during the day. There are not only cultists in the forest, but also beastmen that can never be killed and various dark creatures.

Fortunately, the three-person team can take turns to rest and keep watch.

"Leo, Ron! Wake up!"

Leo woke up from his sleep in a daze. Even though they were taking turns on night duty, the high-tension state made everyone extremely tired.

"Pedro! What's wrong?"

"There's the sound of fighting ahead!"

Hearing this, Leo and Ron both woke up all of a sudden, and they immediately stood up and picked up their weapons.

"Want to go have a look?"

After a brief thought, everyone decided to take the initiative to go there. No matter what happened, it was better than waiting for danger to come to them!
After walking only a few hundred meters, everyone discovered the source of the danger.

There was a body lying on the ground, and Leo recognized the body's identity at once. It was the third child of Duke Paraon. This man, who was definitely a strong one among the one hundred candidates, had now died here.

There were at least twenty big-horned beasts lying beside him.

"The duke's son just died like that?" Leo still remembered how confident and high-spirited he was before entering the forest. He didn't expect that he would die here like that. The previous words that the Holy Blood Knights would secretly protect him also made him suspicious. This was basically a trial of death. If he was not careful, he would really die!
"You two, maybe we can't rely on luck anymore."

Pedro and Ron both nodded solemnly, feeling a sense of grief when they saw their former compatriots. They even had some hesitation in their hearts to back out.

"Pedro, Ron? Wake up, do you really want to miss this opportunity? This is an opportunity worth fighting for!"

Leo noticed the two retreating emotions and immediately said.

"Leo, we know it's just forget it, let's keep moving forward. If we don't complete the task as soon as possible, we won't be able to last for a few days with our current strength and food."

But in fact, the Holy Blood Knights are also fulfilling their duty of protection, but fighting is not training or games. It is impossible for such a large forest to take care of everyone at all times.

At this moment, deep in the forest, an old man in tattered clothes was sitting on the ground with a ferocious face, and he was surrounded by a group of people who were also exhausted and extremely embarrassed.

"Lord Vasmael, these Bretonnians are playing tricks on us!"

"Of course I can see that. These guys actually used us as a target for those idiots to train? Unforgivable."

This group of cultists are the remnants of the Tzeentch sect, the Purple Hand, which had previously been lurking in Middenheim.

After Middenheim's defeat, Wassmer, the former Lord of Law of Middenheim, began hiding in the country. However, as one stronghold after another was destroyed and one after another was secretly captured, he knew that the empire really could not survive.

In order to escape from the pursuit of demon hunters and the Inquisition, he had no choice but to enter Bretonnia.

The lingering demon hunters pursued them until they entered the vast forests of Bretonnia.

But after a few days of peace, everyone thought that the demon hunters had given up, but what they waited for were actually the knights of Bretonnia.

"Sir, we have already manipulated the beastmen to attack the Bretonnians and have killed at least ten of them.

But the beast king among the beastmen here, who was strengthened by the power of the Lord of Change, has lost contact with us for some reason."

"Nonsense! The Bretonnians are not stupid. Do they really want these people to die? They must have someone protecting them in secret!"

It was true. The Beast King died under the siege of five Holy Blood Knights. It was impossible for Laun to really let these young people deal with enemies that were far beyond the scope of the assessment.

"You treat us as prey. It's not certain who the prey is!"

Wasmer had given up hope and didn't want to run anymore. He knew that he couldn't get out of the forest.

"Sir, what should we do then?!" a believer at the side asked eagerly.

"How? Do you believe in the Lord of Change?"

"Of course! I am willing to dedicate everything to the Lord!" "Very good, then give me your soul!"

"What? Wait, sir! What are you going to do?!"

"It's your turn to contribute!!"

When Wasmael opened his arms, a magic circle was formed under the feet of the cultists. The dozens of people who participated were all elite members of the Purple Hand, and almost all of them were mages.

When the magic circle appeared under their feet, almost all believers felt fear in their hearts, but there were also some fanatics who really thought it was an opportunity to devote themselves to the evil god. In the eyes of others, these fanatics directly turned into chaos eggs that had lost their mind and soul.

Moreover, these Chaos Eggs are more powerful than ordinary ones, with a layer of blue crystal shell covering their bodies.

They are afraid. Usually they are the only ones who treat others like this, but no one else treats them like this.

But it was too late.

When all believers turned into Chaos Eggs, Vasmael also gained the magic and souls that he stole from all of them. He felt that his condition was better than ever before, and he had never felt so powerful.

His body had also begun to mutate severely. Purple crystals and blue shells began to cover his body. Slowly, Wasmel's body began to lean more towards the devil.

"Go! Kill all these Bretonnians!"

After receiving the order, the Chaos Eggs began to rush in all directions.

Soon, the sounds of fierce fighting began to occur in various parts of the forest, and Leo and his two companions were also attacked by two chaos eggs.

"Pedro! Hold on! There's no way we can cut through the shells of these Chaos Eggs!"

Ron, who was standing by, also approached with a shield and a sword.

However, the power of the Chaos Egg is several times that of two people, and its shell allows them to ignore the attacks of cold weapons.

Each attack made them stagger.

Leo was standing by aiming with a laser rifle.

When he pulled the trigger, the laser accurately pierced the body of the Chaos Egg and finally broke the shell, but it also angered the monster, and he held down a Chaos Egg by himself.

But he looked really embarrassed.

Rolling and dodging, Leo was actually carrying out some tactical moves at this time, shooting at the Chaos Egg while moving.

But the magazine would always be empty. When he shot the Chaos Egg in front of him with holes, he threw away the laser rifle in his hand that he didn't have time to reload, drew out his sword and bravely went forward. The sword pierced into the body of the Chaos Egg from the injured part, and completely put an end to this seriously injured Chaos Egg.

Seeing his opponent fall to the ground, Leo quickly picked up the laser rifle, reloaded as quickly as possible, and began shooting at Pedro and the other man.

"Die, die, die, die!!! For the God-Emperor!" Leo shouted out a prayer unconsciously.

And under continuous shooting, another Chaos Egg also died in their hands.

Looking at the two huge corpses in front of them, the three of them couldn't help but sit on the ground.

They were still feeling a dull pain in their bodies, but looking at each other's faces, all three of them smiled.

"I have a feeling that the three of us will definitely do well!"

Suddenly, the three heard the roar of Pegasus above their heads, and a Holy Blood Knight came to them.

"Young men, you are not bad, but this stage of the trial is temporarily suspended. Follow me!"

Although they didn't know what it meant, the three of them still tried to stand up and followed.
