Chapter 195 Extra
Chapter 195 Extra
Sensing that someone other than the Sisters of Silence was approaching, the Sisters of Silence members of the Rhyming Orc Psyker quickly and silently turned their guns and pointed them at the approaching Gloria, and the mortal behind him...?
"Combat Sister Gloria of the Imperial Army." Sister Gloria stopped at the edge of the building at a safe distance. She took off her helmet and reported her unit number and personal information code.
The silent nuns communicated with each other with their eyes, and then one of them confirmed Gloria's identity. She soon came to a conclusion and conveyed the answer to the other nuns with her eyes.
It's friendly forces.
But even after confirming Gloria's identity, the nuns never lowered their guns pointed at her, and didn't even say a word, because every silent nun must swear a vow never to speak again after joining the order. From then on, they can only make one sound in their lifetime, and that is their wailing before death.
"The battle situation is not optimistic. The combat orders are just something a bunch of masters hiding behind the scenes came up with. They never consider the actual situation on the battlefield. And I now think you need my assistance." Gloria also understood this, so she tried to persuade him.
As psychic black holes, the Sisters of Silence inherently evoke physical disgust in normal humans. For example, even after meticulous cleansing, some people still find them smelly. Every Untouchable is destined to be disliked from a young age. This dislike isn't the childish, "I don't want to play with you anymore" kind of cold, violent scorn from the 3K era. Instead, forces from all walks of life, from humans to Chaos, seek to eliminate them physically and psychologically. Furthermore, only a few Untouchables are able to mature and be discovered by the Empire.
After mastering her anti-psychic talent, the physical disgust it brought to others reached its peak, so the Sisters of Silence generally refused to cooperate with others unless it was necessary.
But the nuns still did not put down their guns. In fact, this was a great kindness to the friendly forces. If a soldier of a lower rank had tried to stop them, they would have really shot them directly.
"Please believe me," Sister Gloria said again after being rejected. Howard thought she was going to say something nice, but she continued, "If I didn't absolutely need to, I'd never want to deal with freaks like you. But now you're the key to winning this damn war. You hold the life and death of everyone, including me, in your hands. So, for the Emperor's sake, I'm coming to help you."
The reason why Gloria hates the Sisters of Silence is not because they cause physical discomfort, but because these freaks have no souls.
Every Battle Sister is a fanatical believer of the Emperor, and the soul is the most important part of building faith, but these freaks have no souls, which means that their faith is worthless to the Emperor.
In Gloria's opinion, this was close to heresy.
Then Gloria grabbed Howard by the collar and threw him at the feet of Sister Silent.
"You might be interested in this thing," Gloria said.
Sister Silent immediately pointed her gun at Howard again, her eyes clearly asking, "Who are you?"
I can't come!
Howard thought to himself, "How do you want me to answer? What answer do you want to hear?"
"He should be an untouchable like you." Gloria spoke up to help Howard.
So the leader of the Sisters of Silence finally put down her gun, then she raised her hands and communicated with Gloria using sign language.
Howard's eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the nun's sign language, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the sign language, but the translation module of the Imperial Force in the combat helmet helped Gloria decipher the meaning of the sign language.
"So what if he's a male Untouchable? On the battlefield, the enemy doesn't care whether the blood comes from a man or a woman."
"She doesn't have a soul, but she doesn't have the same stench you guys can smell from a distance. I suspect she's an evolved Untouchable," Gloria said. "I was nearly killed by some unknown psychic remnant just now. He only fed me a tiny bit of flesh and blood, and it helped me suppress the burning from my soul. His effect is much stronger than yours."
"For the Emperor, for everyone, I'm joining your mission. In return, if we all survive, I'll lend you this thing for a day." Gloria said, "Whether you use it for blood tests or breeding, just return it to me alive. I'll have other uses for it."
"Wait, wait, wait!" Howard couldn't sit still after hearing this. He jumped up from the ground, "Were you guys discussing something incredible just now?!"
Unexpectedly, the captain of the Sisters of Silence agreed to Gloria's request and gestured to the other nuns to put down their guns.
In fact, the most important reason why Sister Silence agreed to Gloria's request was because of Sister Gloria's fighting ability. Although both parties were unwilling to admit it, they knew in their hearts that cooperation between the two sides was the best choice for this mission, and the success rate would be the highest.
For the sake of the Empire, and to present another great victory to the Emperor, both the Sisters of Silence and the Sisters of Battle are willing to cooperate with the friendly forces they once hated.
After all, there is no harm in cooperating with Gloria. Judging from the rank of this combat nun and the fact that she took the initiative to come forward, at least she will not be a drag. At least from a strategic point of view, she will not bring negative benefits. If she really is a drag, just abandon her.
If they get stuck in a stalemate here, the opportunity for a real fight might be missed.
So in general, the Sisters of Silence agreed to let Gloria join their battle based on many considerations. The condition proposed by Gloria cannot be said to be useless, but it really doesn't have much effect. It can be regarded as a bonus at most.
From the time Gloria met the group of silent nuns to the time they reached an agreement on cooperation, the whole process took less than a minute, and no one asked for Howard's opinion.
Well, you didn't take me seriously at all.
Howard was seriously considering whether he should find an opportunity to trick them and teach them a lesson.
After the cooperation was agreed upon, Gloria joined the team of the Sisters of Silence, while Howard was thrown into a prison van and locked up with those orc wizards whose limbs had been chopped off.
Orcs possess an astonishing ability to heal. Even after having their limbs amputated, they can still survive, even sprouting flesh from the cuts in an attempt to regenerate. For this reason, the Sisters of Silence specially placed collars with spikes piercing the flesh at the cut ends of these orc wizards' limbs, constantly bleeding and preventing their wounds from healing. Even their teeth were plucked out, and their gums were poured with molten copper to completely prevent tooth regeneration. However, care was taken to avoid damaging the orcs' tongues, ensuring they could recite their correct spells upon release.
All I can say is that in terms of ferocity and cruelty, the Empire is on par with most aliens and chaos.
