Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 210 Scarecrow

After calling on Om Messiah and cooperating with the Eldar have failed, it seems that the only way to save the remaining humans is to call on Chaos for help.

Of course, the remaining humans can be said to be die-hard loyalists of the Empire. For them, asking them to accept Chaos' help would probably be more painful than killing them directly.

But Howard had no choice. He pulled over an imperial soldier who had retreated into the defense circle due to injury. Just as he was about to read Freya's name to him, Howard choked.

Because the imperial soldier he grabbed was not a rough man, but a female soldier. The female soldier had wounds all over her body, and her uniform was tattered. The surface was covered with blood, oil and various indescribable dirt, and the original color of the fabric was almost indistinguishable.

But the eyes of this female soldier are very beautiful, sparkling with the color of sapphires.

The word "Freya" was stuck in Howard's throat, and he couldn't spit it out.

This was not because he was sympathetic to women. The girl he had some friendship with on the previous planet was also pretty, but he still used it to open the door without hesitation. This time, he was choked by the contrast.

When Howard was about to say Freya's name, his mind had already imagined the following scenario: a certain Astra Militarum soldier's eyes would glow purple when he heard Freya's name, and then either Freya would directly use him as a "door" to descend into this world, or Freya would use his body to let her power enter this world.

But now he caught a female soldier, and the plan was stuck from the beginning.

Howard had this experience before. Once, he was supposed to represent a group on a questionnaire, but the test had already been leaked, so he simply memorized the answers and wrote them down. When the actual test came, the questions were the same, but in a different order. Howard knew the answers, but the first question was different from the one on the leaked test, and his brain faltered slightly.

This time too.

Howard stood there with his lips slightly open, unable to say anything or do anything for a moment.

The female soldier looked at this strange civilian who had somehow sneaked into the team with some confusion. Because of the slight deviation of her pupils, it seemed to Howard that the sapphire color in the female soldier's eyes was also changing.

He shuddered for no reason and pushed the female soldier away.

He had just lost his mind. When it seemed that both the Om Messiah and Eldar plans had failed, he impulsively chose the third plan without considering it.

It is not a bad thing to have such a stuck thinking. In the past, his world had some more superstitious ideas. That is, if you decide to do something on a whim, such as going on a long trip on a whim, or doing dangerous sports on a whim, if some big or small accident happens at the beginning, it means that this thing is unlucky, and this is God's reminder to you.

Isn't it "auspicious" for me to call upon Chaos at this time?

Howard thought back to what happened when he represented the group in the exam.

When he found that the order of the test questions had changed, he immediately started to sweat. So he carefully read the test paper from beginning to end and compared it with the test paper in his memory. Finally, he found that not only the order of the questions had changed, but the order of the options had also changed.

To be honest, if the order of the questions had not changed and reminded Howard to be alert and take them seriously, he might not have had the mind to check if the order of the questions had not changed but the options had changed. He might have just glanced at the beginning of the question and filled in the number corresponding to the correct option in his memory.

When the results are released later, the scores of those who took the exam will only be distributed in two ranges, one is the range of 80 to 100 points, and the other is the range of 60 to 30 points. Those who failed are probably the little fools who didn't notice that the order of the answers has also changed. The reason why 30 points is the bottom line is because there are short-answer questions later.

"Soldier? What's wrong with you?" The female soldier was not annoyed after being pushed away by Howard, but asked with a little concern.

She could see that the man in front of her was just a civilian. Although she didn't know how this civilian had sneaked into the team and followed them into the orc stronghold, since he picked up a gun and fought against the orcs, he was a comrade-in-arms, a warrior of the empire, and could be called a "soldier."

What is needed between soldiers is unity. Soldiers will not abandon any comrade unless it is absolutely necessary.

Howard did not answer the female soldier's question, but just like he did the test paper that time, he quickly reviewed the whole process in his mind.

Why did he call upon Chaos? Because his attempts to seek help from the Om Messiah and the Eldar had failed.

Did they really fail, or did he think they failed? How did he judge that these two plans failed?

Because the "bread crumbs" he scattered did not attract birds; because when he ordered buffs to be added to other soldiers, the equipment in the hands of other soldiers did not change.

Howard, who was reviewing the game, suddenly discovered a problem.

Om Messiah doesn't buff other soldiers. Is it because he "can't" or "doesn't want to"?

Howard thought it should be the second one, because he had asked Om Messiah about adding buffs to other soldiers earlier, and Om Messiah's answer was "yes".

The breadcrumbs did not attract the "birds", perhaps they noticed the "scarecrow" in the field.

"Soldier! Soldier!" Seeing Howard still standing there in a daze, the female soldier thought the poor boy was frightened, so she dragged him behind the bunker.

"Soldier! Wake up!" The female soldier continued to call Howard. Because the light behind the bunker was slightly dimmer than the previous place, the female soldier's beautiful sapphire pupils also dimmed slightly.

Howard shuddered slightly and was awakened from his thoughts.

"Soldier! What happened to you just now?" Looking at Howard's slightly confused expression, the female soldier realized that he had finally woken up, so she continued to ask, "How do you feel now?"

Howard blinked and then smiled at the older woman he had met for less than three minutes.

"Thank you, I am fine."

Then he raised the laser gun in his hand and put the muzzle against his chin.

The muzzle of the laser gun glowed slightly red, as hot as a branding iron, and this was even with the Om Messiah's buff. Without Om Messiah's covert assistance, the muzzle of this laser gun would have melted long ago.

Howard's action of pressing the muzzle of the laser gun against his jaw was equivalent to pressing a branding iron directly against his jaw.

Under the astonished gaze of the female soldier, Howard pressed the switch to launch the laser.
