Chapter 31 Heavy Losses
"Uh, my head hurts so much." Lin Fan opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling again. It seemed that he was not dead yet, and was still receiving treatment in a luxuriously decorated medical room.
Hearing Lin Fan's movement, a giant sitting on a table in the distance stood up and approached Lin Fan, holding an ancient incense burner with a faint fragrance in his hand.
"Come, smell this, it's good for your body."
Lin Fan subconsciously smelled it after hearing the order. An unbearable spicy smell stimulated Lin Fan's nasal cavity, causing him to sneeze loudly in succession. The giant on the side put the incense burner back to his tactical belt, hugged his arms with both hands and admired Lin Fan's embarrassment.
After sneezing a few times, Lin Fan suddenly felt refreshed, the headache disappeared in an instant, and the blurriness of his eyes after a long coma also disappeared.
"Uh, thank you." Lin Fan used his clear eyes to observe the surrounding environment again.
He was lying on a hard medical bed, but the pillow under his head was particularly soft and comfortable. The complex instruments on the left and right sides were constantly scanning Lin Fan's body and detecting his health. On the tall ceiling was an exquisite artistic electric lamp, engraved with delicate patterns, flashing a polished and shiny metallic luster.
Standing next to him was a wolf priest of the Space Wolves. Although he was not wearing his standard wolf bone helmet, Lin Fan still guessed his identity from his special black power armor and the heavy metal cover of the book on his waist.
Wolf priest
"Hello mortal, I have to say you are very brave in battle."
"Uh, thank you for the compliment, I just did my best."
Lin Fan had not figured out the current situation, so he decided to answer the priest in front of him carefully.
As if knowing what Lin Fan wanted to ask, the priest started talking about the current situation of the fleet without waiting for Lin Fan to speak, "You have been unconscious for three months, fifteen days, five hours and thirty minutes. Now we are about to leave the subspace and prepare to enter the outer reaches of the Armageddon system."
In the demon war three months ago, the officers and soldiers of the entire Flame were mobilized. The battle sisters, stormtroopers and sailors on the ship were all deployed to the important gates connecting the middle and lower decks. Of course, a small number of demons appeared from various pipes and corners, attacking the entire ship.
A small half of the troops transported by the Casare Legion on the Flame, a total of more than 100 regiments and 450,000 people, lost two-thirds in the demon attack, and the remaining 150,000 people fell into a mental breakdown. Almost every day, the battle sisters and the soldiers of the Inquisition pulled out hundreds of poor soldiers with complete mental breakdown and shot them.
Kaiser White Fang lost an arm in the battle with the bloodthirsty demon. Fortunately, the rift in the warp closed in time, and Wodehouse Ice Claws came to support Kaiser White Fang, so he was able to save his life from the bloodthirsty demon.
The current Kasare Legion has lost nearly one-third of its 1.4 million people at the start. They didn't even see the shadow of the orcs and suffered such a heavy loss. Those battle sisters and stormtroopers also didn't get any good. Under the order to hold their positions and fight to the death, all of them bled dry under the demon's attack.
Hearing such a result, Lin Fan felt very powerless and collapsed on the bed in frustration. Bennett comforted him: "Listen, kid, facing the invasion of demons, having such a situation is already a great victory, you can't ask for more. At least they all died for the Emperor, and they died for a good cause."
"Sir, yes, I can accept it." Lin Fan felt flattered when he heard Bennett's comfort. Although the Space Wolves are indeed a humane war group, it is still too rare for their priests to comfort an ordinary Astra Militarum soldier.
"Don't be afraid, hahaha, why weren't you as scared as you are now when you fought demons."
Bennett laughed at Lin Fan, who looked embarrassed, and Lin Fan also relaxed a lot under the teasing of this generous wolf priest.
The hatch opened with a squeak, and two more Space Wolves warriors walked in.
One of them was covered with giant wolf fur, with a large number of thick wolf teeth wrapped around his shoulder armor, and holding a staff with a shamanic flavor in his hand.
The other one was bigger than Bennett and the wolf-skin guy. He was holding a pot of wine in his hand, with a thick yellow beard and rough skin.
"Boy, I heard from Bennett that you closed the rift."
Kaiser White Fang asked while drinking the mead in his hand.
Recalling the battle situation that day, it was really dangerous. No matter how much he planned, he could not have expected that this Chaos traitor could attract several demons. If Wodehouse, who was in chaos, had not arrived in time and temporarily repelled the attack of the bloodthirsty demon with psychic lightning, Kaiser White Fang would have been split in half by the brass sword.
With the cooperation of Kaiser White Fang and Wodehouse Ice Wolf, the bloodthirsty demon was delayed in the living area that had become a ruin, but the two still had no way to deal with the demon blessed by the power of the subspace. It is worth hoping that the Gray Hunter team led by Bennett will close the rift and then destroy this demon together.
After a loud bang, Wodehouse clearly felt that the sticky subspace energy in the space suddenly disappeared, as if it was quickly evaporated by something, and the bloodthirsty demon became far less deadly and dangerous after the transmission of subspace energy was interrupted.
The two were even able to gradually reverse the situation and suppress the demon. After Kaiser White Fang deliberately exposed a flaw and let the demon cut off an arm, Wodehouse also seized the opportunity to complete a powerful psychic attack, directly blasting the demon's head to pieces, turning it into a ball of blood-red flames and disappearing.
Wodehouse took the injured Kaiser and joined Bennett's team, and only then did he know the danger of the previous battle.
Bennett also had a Slaanesh keeper. If the keeper had played a little less, then the entire Grey Hunter team would not have survived.
Bennett told the two that it was Lin Fan and his statue who saved everyone and saved the Flame.
He excitedly described the great battle that had just taken place to the two of them. The will and aura of the God-Emperor descended upon this place at that moment, and destroyed those damned demons with His sacred flames.
Wodehouse looked at the unconscious Lin Fan with a complicated expression, and recalled the prophecy he had felt on Fenris.
