Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 241 04.0240: ‘Mansion Attack and Defense’

The sound of lasers and alien weapons exchanging fire played the song of destruction of the entire mansion. During the battle, some flammable materials were ignited and the fire slowly spread.

The flames ignited the carpet on the ground, quickly grew into fire snakes, and began to run around. The air was scorched and deformed, the surrounding scenery became distorted and blurred in the thick smoke, and the indoor temperature rose by nearly ten degrees. The direction of the fire spread and there was a tendency to burn Horatio and the Inquisition agent.

The two sides were fiercely shooting at each other in the wide corridor through the air distortion caused by the fire.

Although the possibility of fighting between the two sides during the arrest process was considered at the beginning of the infiltration.

And after evaluating the combat capabilities of the residential bodyguards and the possible existence of individual evil creatures, everyone finally believed that the equipment level and training level of the Inquisition agents and the two Hell's Aces were enough to deal with any threats that would exist in this mission.

But who knew that a group of elite dead men would come to break in.

The three parties collided with each other. Louise immediately called for help from the Navy Department, but soon found that the signal was interfered by a simple and crude high-frequency shielding device, and no message could be sent out at all.

This signal interference is simple and crude because it completely uses ultra-high power frequency bands to interfere with all communication signals, making it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, in order to achieve full channel blocking.

This means that the enemy and the outside world have completely given up on radio frequency communication.

Even Horatio's new device can only barely hear Louise's voice in the same signal frequency band at close range before facing such violent means.

In addition, the case handling of the Tribunal is highly confidential. In order to conceal the operation, it will not disclose the action information to the outside world, so as not to alert the enemy.

This means that they, less than ten people, need to be self-reliant and find a way to break through.

If they really let go and fight hard, after suffering certain casualties, the Inquisitor is sure that his team will definitely win.

But the two sides are actually fighting over the life of the president of the Corpse Guild and the information he may reveal.

Therefore, it is not wise to get involved in a battle with the enemy here. They must evacuate this place with the captured high-value target as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

The agents of the Inquisition relied on the columns of the corridor as cover and used various alien weapons to fight the masked killers.

Horatio released the servo skull behind him and ordered it to shuttle through the mansion to detect the enemy for them and find a route to go downstairs.

Louise blocked the wide corridor on the right to prevent sneak attacks.

After a while, she heard dense footsteps.

"Crossing routes, they are turning right! Wait for my command." Horatio pressed Louise's shoulder and signaled her not to lean out in advance, so as not to be discovered by the self-destructing servo skulls carried by the killers, thus exposing their positions.

The experimental equipment created by Latti, combined with his command hand, exerted 300% command efficiency.

Louise nodded, put her finger on the trigger, stuck to the corner, ready to go.

"Three, two..."

Three purple-robed men were holding assault laser guns, and two servo skulls were flying in front of them, about to appear on their right wing and outflank them.

But they didn't know that their every move had been seen by others.

When the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the echo was already in the nearby corridor, it stopped abruptly.

A self-destructing servo skull floated out and flew forward.

Horatio quickly pressed the data board on his forearm, and the radar-like device on the left side of the power backpack rotated from a 360-degree angle and immediately became vertical.

Beep!

A thin buzzing sound came from the "sonar" detector, and the self-destructing servo skull dangling in the sky fell to the ground with a snap.

The killers were startled because the second self-destructing servo skull on standby also fell at their feet.

This made their hearts hang immediately.

When they found that the skull had no signs of explosion, their hearts fell back and they exhaled slowly in one breath.

At the moment when they relaxed their vigilance, the data intrusion progress bar on Horatio's forearm reached 100% and fell to the ground. The eyes of the self-destructing servo skull closest to the killer glowed with a terrible red light again.

This attracted the attention of one of the killers.

"Get out of the way!" He screamed, but it was too late.

This intrusion device was built by Lati for the Hell Vanguard to invade the access control and control system in the boarding battle.

But after roughly knowing its principle, Horatio realized that the scope of this thing's invasion is not limited to the access control system.

Theoretically, it can invade most of the device systems manufactured by the Human Empire, which is why it can invade the rebel warship system.

After all, the ships in Chaos are either the creations of the 30K era drawings or the rebel ships of the 40K era.

Although it is impossible to deal with the advanced creations of civilizations such as the Eldar and the Titans that are empowered by the power of the warp, it is more than enough to usurp the control of a servo skull made by the Empire's general technology.

The device's frequency is completely different from the shortwave communication wave, so when it is interfered with, even if it is a subspace interference, its function will not be greatly affected within the combat distance of the Hell Vanguard.

The explosion bloomed near the killers' legs and feet, and the built-in steel balls instantly scattered, splashing the surrounding walls and their bodies with pits.

Two people died on the spot, and the other fell to the ground with his back to them.

Although he looked dead, see-through thermal imaging showed that his heart was still beating and he was still breathing.

"Come this way!" Horatio shouted to the judge and his men. According to his investigation, except for this outflanking team, the other enemies were still some distance away from here, and there was a pass not far away. Stairs leading downstairs.

They can now at least go down from the third floor to the second floor, and then they only need to force one more floor to reach the hall.

Louise quickly approached the man who still had vital signs, pointing the gun steadily at him.

"Lie down! Stretch out your hands and hold your head!"

A seriously injured person would normally howl instinctively, but this person just lay there silently, either because he lost consciousness due to pain shock, or because he was hiding an ambush.

She was brought out by a veteran of the storm and had a lot of experience in killing teams, so naturally she wouldn't fall for it.

Sure enough, a horrifying look appeared in the mask, and in the hand of the fallen man was a grenade with the pin pulled out and the detonator pressed.

Horatio immediately signaled the inquisitor to stop.

Seeing that the plot was exposed, the killer gritted his teeth and sat up, rushing towards Louise, trying to pull at least one person to support her.

After being strengthened by Tadatsuki's surgery and powered armor, she had quick eyesight and quick hands. She broke his arm with one shot and kicked the thrown grenade out of the window more than ten meters away.

Boom!

The grenade exploded in the air, sending a shower of tile fragments flying down the outer wall.

"Give up resistance! Surrender immediately!" Louise stepped on the opponent's back to prevent him from making any further movements, and shouted while putting the muzzle of the gun against the killer's head.

But the other party didn't respond.

Louise used her toes to flip the motionless killer over, and used the barrel of her gun to remove his mask.

Horatio and the Inquisitor came over.

Horatio squatted beside the corpse to examine it, looking at the white foam flowing from the corners of his mouth, the purple face, and the faint smell of bitter almonds mixed with the smell of blood in the air.

"A male mortal, about forty or fifty years old, with no obvious plastic surgery. He looks like he has had a military career. There is a scar on the right cheek, and the calluses on his fingers are caused by years of handling rifles and pistols."

While Horatio was inspecting the body, Louise pointed the camera at the body and recorded all the physical features.

These materials can be used to search the person's life history afterwards, and some clues may be obtained.

Horatio pinched open the dead man's mouth and turned on the tactical light on his shoulder.

"There is a cyanide poison capsule hidden under the tongue. It seems that he is a well-prepared soldier."

"Sorry, he bit it," Louise apologized.

“You did your best, Louise, it’s good that you weren’t hurt.

He hid the capsule in that place and couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. Perhaps His Excellency the Inquisitor's psychic powers might be able to do that? "

"Even I can't control it immediately. Within ten seconds of the energy storage control stage, this is enough time for them to bite open the poison capsule."

"Let's go, you shouldn't stay here for a long time, get down quickly, the fire is coming."

He looked back at the vengeful daughter. She was looking at the mansion that was engulfed by fire. The sound of her teeth clenching could be heard from a distance, making one wonder whether she could really bite her own teeth into pieces like this. .

"What are you still doing? Do you want to be reduced to ashes with the house?" Horatio scolded.

The gloomy woman was silent and immediately turned around to follow the team.

While going downstairs, Horatio suddenly raised his hand to signal the team to stop.

Through radar, he had discovered that several killers were hiding behind the bunker near the exit, preparing to ambush.

"Louise, shock bomb!"

Together with her, he pulled out the bolts and threw them left and right down the stairs.

"Escape! Shock bomb!!" someone shouted, and the killers quickly hid in the bunker.

Just when they thought they were safe behind the bunker, a strange force paralyzed their bodies and fell down.

Bang! Bang!

Buzz—! ! !

With the ear-piercing sound of two shock bombs exploding, Horatio and Louise took the opportunity to move forward one on the left and the other on the right.

The killers were still hiding behind the overturned furniture used as shelters, trying to adjust from the spin and prepare to fight back.

The two hell warriors with advanced equipment did not give them this chance at all.

Bang! Bang!

Horatio pulled the trigger of the naval explosive bomb, smashing the high-end furniture to the ground together with the killer hiding behind it, leaving wood chips, flesh and bone chips all over the carpet.

This mansion, which covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters, is too big. Before taking action, they only remembered the route of sneaking into the secret passage. In addition, they had not walked through here when they came here. The intricate and dazzling corridors in front of them became their eyes. Unexpected obstacles.

Perhaps this is itself a designed trap to confuse and ward off intruders, like the hedge maze that clusters the mansion outside.

"Go this way."

The gloomy woman glanced around and walked away.

Horatio and the Inquisitor looked at each other, and the Inquisitor silently activated his psychic reading on her.

Soon, Ravenor recovered from the rolling of his eyes and shook his head.

This means that he did not read anything suspicious.

"Follow me." Horatio waved his hand.
