Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 196 Uncertain

Every step forward taken by the Sisters of Silence's forces was stained with the blood of those who had pioneered the path.

Gloria's joining is indeed useful. Because of the vows taken by the Sisters of Silence, they cannot speak even in war and can only communicate using sign language.

So they basically did not cooperate with other imperial forces, but after Sister Gloria joined temporarily, she took on the task of coordinating and communicating with other imperial forces.

Howard was puzzled by this idea the first time he saw it. He thought, "You guys swore an oath not to talk, but what if you split up and need to communicate? Is it a video conference?"

But this time the nuns answered the question, which is that there is no need for communication.

Before going into the battlefield, the duties and plans of each nun had already been determined. They only had to complete the plan on time and then move forward step by step.

As for the various obstacles encountered in the process of completing duties, they are not within the scope of consideration. As long as the mission is issued, the Sister of Silence will complete it even if she encounters a powerful enemy, even at the cost of her own life.

If the bomb is to explode at a certain point, then it must explode at that point. Even if the orcs come, it cannot be changed. Even if the demons come, it cannot be changed. Even if the insects come, it cannot be changed. Even if the Primarchs and the Chaos Gods come, it cannot be changed.

The nun's entire plan is like a sophisticated machine, and each nun is a gear in the machine. Moreover, this is not an orc's machine. Even the slightest flaw in the meshing of the gears may lead to catastrophic consequences.

The life of each Sister of Silence depends on the life and death of her sisters, and they themselves decide the life and death of these sisters.

So for the Sisters of Silence, there are only two outcomes when completing a mission: success or death.

There is no such thing as requests for help or workarounds outside the plan.

In the 3K era, there was actually a similar method of warfare called radio silence. Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. The battlefields where radio silence was required were, without exception, the most crucial, the most brutal, and even the ones that could completely determine the outcome of the war.

The Sisters of Silence are such a force that is always thrown into the cruelest and most important battlefields.

Howard was thrown into the iron cage and locked up with the orc wizards.

This is not actually abuse to him, because on the battlefield today, it is difficult to find a place safer than the mobile prison where these orc wizards are imprisoned.

Although these orc wizards were thrown into the battlefield as prisoners and bombs that detonated orc waaagh energy, before they exploded, both the Sisters of Silence and other imperial forces would desperately ensure the stability and effectiveness of these weapons of mass destruction, that is, to ensure their survival.

Howard huddled in a corner of the cage, a blind spot in his vision. Only by sticking to the iron cage and from a very awkward angle could he see the situation in this small area where Howard was. When Howard looked out through the opening, he could only see the bald backs of the heads of the Sisters of Silence.

These Sisters of Silence were also the first real and powerful Untouchables Howard encountered. It was said that ordinary people would feel disgusted and uncomfortable when they were near Untouchables because humans in 40k all have souls, but Howard did not have this feeling.

Even some machines that use psychic energy will stop working and be damaged when the Sisters of Silence approach. Some of the most powerful Sisters of Silence cannot even ride on spaceships, because spaceships use special warp engines for warp navigation, and psychic energy is inseparable from the warp.

So……

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching him, Howard secretly took out the Ohm Messiah and focused all his attention on it. When a person's brain concentrates on doing something, it will automatically eliminate external interference. Suddenly, all the noise and bustle outside the iron cage seemed to disappear in an instant and had nothing to do with him.

Howard held the phone, hesitant for some reason. His heart was pounding and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. He swallowed, took a deep breath, and pressed the power button hard.

Howard pressed the power button with his thumb, and because he pressed too hard, his thumb nail was dented into the ground, but even so, Om Messiah did not move.

Howard put down his phone as if exhausted, cold sweat breaking out on his back, but he actually felt relieved.

At least he was certain of something.

But just as Howard was about to put the Ohm Messiah away, the phone's screen lit up by itself.

"What a fool?!"

Howard was so scared that he almost jumped up, but then his head hit the iron bars on the top of the iron cage and he sat back down.

The shock he felt when Om Messiah was able to turn on the machine was far greater than the magical and bizarre garbage truck that Om Messiah had controlled the orcs half a day ago, and even not less than the shock he felt when Om Messiah had turned on the light for the first time on Sherlock.

Now things are even more complicated.

Howard's action of hitting the top of the cage quickly attracted attention. Howard saw someone looking at him with suspicion and scrutiny at the awkward opening. Howard put Om Messiah into the shadows without leaving any trace, while trying hard to respond to the gaze without changing his expression.

After scanning Howard thoroughly, that gaze found nothing unusual, or rather, it did not find what she thought was unusual, so she withdrew her gaze and continued her vigilance.

After repeatedly confirming that no one would suddenly make a surprise attack, Howard carefully dug out Ohm Messiah from the corner. At this time, Ohm Messiah's screen was still black.

After some mental preparation, Howard pressed the power button again.

This time, Ohm Messiah quickly woke up from the black screen. It seemed that the first time Ohm Messiah was turned off, and this time the black screen was just in standby mode because there was no operation for too long.

"Master, please give instructions!" A line of small words appeared on the screen of Om Messiah.

Howard picked up his phone and typed carefully. He certainly couldn't speak now because he would be heard by the combat nuns and silent nuns outside. He even had to type as quietly as possible because who knows if there are any nuns with specialized hearing abilities among them. Generally speaking, when a person loses one type of perception, his other perceptions will be strengthened as compensation. The silent nuns are a group of people who have voluntarily given up language. They are taciturn, but taciturn people are often better at listening and observing.

You for...

Howard first typed these two words on his phone, but immediately deleted the second word and typed it again. Now he wanted to ask Ohm Messiah if he had any good plan to help him escape, but before he finished typing, he heard the sound of the bolt being pulled open outside the iron cage that held the orc wizard.

An hour ago, the nuns unlocked the cage, pulled the bolt, and threw Howard in.

Howard didn't think they could pick up two special collections in one war, so this time they opened the bolt, most likely to take something out.

And these "things" are most likely the orc wizards.

It seems that this group of Sisters of Silence have reached the edge of the protective shield of the Orc Garbage City.
