Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 331 Pai Daxing

"Humans, why are you here?"

Sure enough, the cutscene started playing, and the huge orc not far away started talking first. He could actually speak fluent Gothic.

"You guys came here for this too? Right?"

Howard used his eyes to signal the nuns and the Eldar not to act rashly, then he stepped forward to talk to the war leader:

"Yes, we are here for the energy source behind you."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Howard's blunt words, Harden burst into laughter, laughing so hard that Howard's skull trembled, and even the tracks of the Chimera infantry vehicle were shaken off.

"Energy source!? Energy source!? Human, oh human, is this the extent of your understanding of it?"

"Some people also say it's a 'secret,'" Howard continued, resisting the pressure.

"No! It's not a secret! It's a curse!" Harden suddenly became angry.

"It's a vicious curse! It cursed me! It gave me some of what I wanted, but also filled my head with more things I didn't want! It made me think too much! Think about everything! Doubt everything! It even made me doubt Gogo and Maoge! It made me abandoned by Gogo and Maoge! What's the point of all this if I can no longer hear Gogo and Maoge's roar?!"

In the end, this powerful orc actually knelt down in pain, holding his head. He wailed and kept pounding the ground. Every hammer blow could cause an earthquake and could even be detected by satellites in space.

But soon he stopped wailing and stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive my gaffe. Perhaps being more emotionally unstable is one of the costs," Harden said.

Really emotionally unstable.

Howard thought to himself.

Other orcs are always furious and violent from the beginning, but you are now switching back and forth between fury and violent and rational and depressed, which is indeed unstable.

"If you want to take away this curse, I can give it to you." Harden said, finally turning around to face Howard and the others.

All humans and elves were shocked.

Because the orc's right eye also turned into a blue crystal, and many broken lines spread outward.

"But orcs only give spoils to the strong." Harden said, reaching out to the giant axe beside him. The axe handle trembled, flew up from the ground, and returned to the master beast's hand. "Even if it is a curse, it is a curse stolen by the orcs."

"If you want it, come and get it yourself." Harden held the axe with both hands: "Prove to me that you are qualified."

"Wait wait wait wait wait wait!!!" Before Harden could finish his words, Howard started screaming. He rushed towards May and knocked the elf to the ground, while holding the other's arm tightly.

Because Howard knew that this girl was most likely hiding the Soul Echo in her sleeve, ready to inject at any time.

When Mei's sleeve was lifted, a syringe filled with black liquid was indeed stuck to her delicate skin, and the needle tip had even penetrated slightly.

Fortunately, the pressure was enough and did not pierce the blood vessels. If it was a fraction of a second later, Mei might have gone berserk.

"It's not that time yet," Howard said to May.

Then he climbed up and grabbed the nun's arm, asking her to put down Durandal.

"And you! Put your guns down!" Howard then turned to the soldiers hiding behind the Chimera armored vehicle, saying, "Put your guns away! That broken fire stick is useless!"

The Astra Militarum soldiers looked at each other in astonishment, but finally put down their guns obediently.

After all, the nuns have put down their swords.

Harden kept holding the axe and watching Howard's performance without interrupting him.

"What's your idea?" the nun asked.

"Let me try." Howard said to the nun, and then without waiting for the nun to respond, he walked towards Harden.

"Let me challenge you," Howard said.

"You? Are you sure?" Harden asked gracefully, "I'm standing still and letting you attack. You can't hurt me in ten thousand years, but I could shatter you with just one sneeze."

"It's almost the same whether I go alone or we go together." Howard looked the orc in the eye and said, "It's just a matter of you sneezing a few more times."

"Human, aren't you keen on praising courage? Why have you lost that quality at this moment?" The war leader looked down at the human and said, "Nothing is certain. If you all attack together, wouldn't the chances of a miracle occurring be greater?"

"The distance between courage and recklessness may be smaller than you think," Howard said. "Those who bet with a 70% probability are called investors, those who bet with a 30% probability are called gamblers, those who bet with a 1% probability are called desperadoes, and those who bet with a 1 in 10 million probability are called hopeless fools."

"Great Harden, since you possess extraordinary wisdom, why don't you categorize us? If we rashly attack you like this, which category should we be classified into?"

Harden was stunned at first, then laughed: "Worse than a stupid pig, and a dead stupid pig at that."

"That's right," Howard said. "So, the worst outcome is already clear, so any further attempts I make will be profitable. If you insist on engaging in a physical contest with me, then at best I'll just be a dead idiot, and you, the great Harden, you beat a dead idiot. What do you get? A game is only interesting if both sides have a chance of winning."

"Are you provoking me?" Harden asked back.

"Yes and no." Howard took another step forward. "Based on my observation, you're clearly a rational and logical person who can communicate. Since we can communicate, then the conversation has meaning. So I hope what I just said to you will make you retract or change the conditions you set for letting us take the energy source."

"Interesting, interesting." Harden nodded repeatedly: "You're right, even if I beat you, I won't feel any fun."

"Human, you know my name, now I need to know yours," Harden said.

So Howard told the other party his name and introduced Mei and Gloria.

"Mr. Howard, what you said makes sense, but you don't seem to have considered one thing," Harden said. "If I do whatever you want me to do, then where is my dignity as a war leader?"
