Chapter 730 Sacrifice for righteousness

"grown ups."

Before Bahram and Kalistarius had a rest for a while, a guard ran in in a hurry.

After a restrained salute, he said loudly:

"Just just now, a few greens were sneaking outside. We used a trap to eliminate most of them, but one escaped and the foreman asked me to report to both of you."

After hearing this, Bahram frowned.

There is no doubt that when Greenskin discovered this refugee camp, it will soon launch a large-scale attack. The defense here cannot be said to be lacking, but it is basically vulnerable.

"Thanks a lot."

After letting the guards leave, Bahram looks at Kalistarius, who is sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if meditating.

For some reason, the think tank became sweating profusely, as if it was in a fierce confrontation with something.

"Sir, I remember we didn't evacuate all the civilians?"

"Didn't you hear what the political commissar of Arric?"

Hearing Bahram's words, Kalistarius opened his eyes and said with a sneer:

"He must keep the nest capital at all costs, and all the resources available will serve this purpose, and the people here..."

Then he suppressed his voice and shrugged.

"They were all abandoned, maybe because their position was too deep into Greenskin's territory and could not be rescued, or maybe they were ignored in this panic, or maybe there was no extra resources for them to survive, no matter which one, they were left to die, and Greenskin was about to come here."

Bahram sighed lightly and turned his eyes to the door, a group of children playing.

"No--"

Bahram's expression gradually became firm, and he shook his head,

"No, they weren't abandoned, at least not yet, because we're here."

"It's just the two of us."

Kalistarius pointed out the key issues sharply.

"Yes, we are just two of us, two unyielding Astartes, carrying weapons and being able to kill any greenskin in a one-on-one fight."

"Do you think the ones coming would be just a few greens?"

Although Bahram was confident but not arrogant, he naturally knew that all he would not come was just a few green skins, but he still insisted.

"Sir, the Emperor blessed here, and we are the tools sent by the Emperor to carry out His will, and this is our mission."

"Then your opinion is to stay?"

Kalistarius asked back, and the recruits of the Knights of the Astral nodded in response.

"Yes, I want to stay and never go anywhere. If the Emperor wants me to be loyal here, I will have no regrets."

Kalistarius smiled, said nothing, and then continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

Bahram didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he had no intention of getting the think tank involved. If the think tank wanted to retreat, he wouldn't say a word.

The recruit put his gun on his shoulders, then stepped out of the church and entered the street.

The guards were laying the borders of the settlement in the distance, and they placed the lead-wire-tied grenades at all possible entrances, which consumed very little ammunition, but it was undeniable that this was the most reasonable approach.

The residents now keep their children at home as much as possible. The very young children, too young to understand what the Emperor's angel is and why they are there, but they are all happy to see the legendary giant in their settlement, so the windows are full of curious little heads.

The older children would look at Bahram with reverence and fear like their parents.

Bahram discovered that no one had mentioned the evacuation, and there was not even a communicator in this place. Everyone kept silent about the fact that they were abandoned by the empire and stayed to die.

It was not until he asked someone that he realized that everyone was lucky and thought that Green Skin would not visit this barren little corner. They were so lucky to survive for more than half a month before.

But if you go elsewhere, you will face the risk of "instability", so people would rather choose false "stability".

This may be a bit self-deception, but Bahram knew that he could not demand too many of these poor people.

"Big, sir?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came.

Bahram turned to look at the muddy street behind him and found a woman staring at him, with a basin of water from a public well on her head, and a four or five-year-old boy holding her skirt beside her.

The child was barefoot, his feet were covered with mud.

“Is there anything you need help with?”

Bahram responded with a smile, trying to make himself look kinder.

"Go back to the house."

The woman said to her son, and then waited until her son ran out of his hearing range before speaking.

"We're all going to die, are we?"

"I……"

Bahram opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Yes, they are likely to die, and everyone is likely to die, but he knows that even if he tells her like this, it will be useless.

"No, you won't die."

Bahram said seriously.

"Why not?"

The recruit gently tapped the eagle emblem on his chest with his fists, as if there was endless power on it.

"We are the angels of the Emperor, and we will protect everyone."

"The Emperor's blessing."

The woman bent over with gratitude and then turned and left. Bahram felt that she might not have left any deep impression on the other party. The tall and strong Haumo might impress her, or the secretly alert Robin, or even the experienced Oscar, but it would not be him.

Bahram always felt that he had nothing special, he was just an ordinary warrior.

"Hey."

Bahram then called her, and the woman stopped and turned to look at Astart.

"If possible, stay at home and don't come out today, where is your husband?"

"He's dead."

Bahram was stunned and said softly:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, but at least... I'll take the kids well."

She just bent over and left.

Afterwards, Bahram walked towards the main entrance and exit, and he wanted to check the loopholes in defense, and the guards saw him and gave way.

The guard wall is still the same and looks strong, but Bahram knew that with just a slight kick, a big hole can be kicked out, and the stakes are pierced by those road stakes. The comforting effect is greater than the actual effect. After all, the green skin here has guns and cannons.

Afterwards, he climbed onto the defensive platform and looked at the dark passage in the distance. Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something.

A cluster of flashes appeared in the dark corridor, and then a bullet hit the wall beside the door, half a meter away from Bahram's head, and there was also dull footsteps like rolling thunder.

At this time, the situation he was most worried about finally happened.

"The green skin is here!!!"
