Chapter 209 buff
Chapter 209 buff
After realizing that Om Messiah was helping him cheat, Howard was not excited at all. Instead, he quickly sobered up from the joy of the fight.
Even if he had unlimited ammunition without cooldown, the impact of the small flashlight in his hand on the situation could still be ignored.
"Om Messiah! Om Messiah!" Howard found an opportunity and quietly pulled out the Om Messiah. "Can you buff the others like this?"
If all the remaining imperial soldiers were given the buff of infinite ammunition and infinite cooling, it would not be impossible to kill their way through this orc garbage city.
As a result, Om Messiah did not move. Howard immediately thought that this was the confidentiality agreement he had made with Om Messiah. If there was a possibility of exposure, Om Messiah should hide himself unless Howard was in urgent danger of his life.
"If you can do it, shake it up," Howard added.
He did not ask the Om Messiah to turn on by force, although he later gradually realized that there were still things like mobile phones in this world, and they were very common. The Om Messiah was not conspicuous in this era, but in order to avoid unnecessary danger, Howard chose to keep a low profile.
The Om Messiah with a black screen in his hand vibrated.
This shock stunned Howard into silence. Firstly, he was surprised by the ability of Om Messiah, and secondly, Om Messiah had admitted that it could also buff other soldiers' equipment, but Howard did not observe any signs of the other soldiers being buffed. In other parts of the battlefield, the equipment of the imperial soldiers that were supposed to be out of power were still out of power, and those that were supposed to explode were still blown up.
Howard knew very well that if Om Messiah thought that this decision was in his favor, then there was no need for him to give any orders, and Om Messiah would automatically buff others, just like Om Messiah suddenly buffed himself.
But Om Messiah did not do so, which means that in Om Messiah's judgment, rashly giving buffs to other soldiers is not necessarily the best choice for himself.
This time Howard didn't ask Om Messiah again. He thought about it for a while and figured out the reason.
Giving buffs to other soldiers can only solve the immediate dilemma, but it will bring endless troubles to yourself later.
Faced with this sudden buff without any reason, it is estimated that quite a number of imperial soldiers will think that it is the appearance of the Emperor or the God of All Things. However, there is one person among these imperial soldiers who may discover the truth of the matter, and that is the Battle Sister Gloria.
Because she was driving an orc garbage truck when he first met her, and considering some subsequent developments, it is not impossible for Gloria to connect these visions to herself and finally find out the truth.
If it were really possible to buff the other soldiers, and if they actually accomplished the impossible and fought their way out, how would they treat themselves?
Either way, it's not what Howard wants to see right now.
Of course Howard wants to be a good person, but the prerequisite for being a good person is that he cannot fall into an unfavorable situation.
He likes win-win situations. Those who sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others are called saints... or idiots. Howard thinks he cannot reach such a lofty level of thought.
He'd acted foolishly when rescuing Gloria, only to have Gloria put a knife to his face the next second, a lesson for him. If Gloria hadn't come to her senses a little at the end, Howard would have likely figured out a way to eliminate this unstable factor.
After a moment of silence, Howard calmly put the Om Messiah back into his pocket.
He also did not force Om Messiah to carry out his orders.
"I'm sorry." Howard apologized in his heart to the Imperial soldiers who were dying in battle. He knew that if Om Messiah had buffed them, some of them would not have died.
But Howard did not have much psychological burden, because it was not him who sent these soldiers to die; it was not him who cut off these soldiers' bodies and killed them.
Maybe he should change his way of thinking. He should not think about how many people died because of his inaction, but how many people who should have died survived because of him.
Howard also had a vague premonition... From the fleeting horror monsters and the Eldar he encountered some time ago, there was probably something more important or more difficult than the orc problem in this section, and this group of humans who accidentally broke into the orc garbage city were probably the least aware of the situation.
Since you don't know the inside story, then ask the person who knows it yourself.
Although their suggestion to the Sisters of Silence to seek help from the Eldar was rejected, these Sisters of Silence would never have thought that the way to attract the Eldar's attention was through his blood.
It was estimated that the captain of the Sisters of Silence thought that he was just planning to contact the Eldar and had not actually made any attempt to contact them, so she let him go easily after giving him a warning.
And now, Howard can still use blood to connect with the Eldar.
So, Howard, who had put down his laser gun and pretended to rest while questioning Om Messiah, raised his gun again and started shooting at the orcs who were rushing towards him.
With the protection of Om Messiah, Howard never missed his target, and any gun aimed at him would malfunction or jam.
This time, Howard picked up a piece of broken iron and placed it in the palm of his left hand, while his left hand was holding the butt of the gun. In this way, during the constant movement, Howard's left hand was repeatedly cut by the broken iron, and drops of blood dripped all the way.
However, on the ground that has been soaked with blood countless times, no human or orc would notice this little bit of blood.
But these bloodstains containing the power of the Goddess of Life are the "bread crumbs" that attract the Eldar Death Army.
Two hours later.
"boom!"
Another psychic explosion gave the Empire's army another chance to catch their breath and rest, but this would be their last rest.
Because the orc wizards are exhausted.
Howard also put down the laser gun in his hand and gasped for breath. If the Goddess of Life had not given him a buff, he would have died after two hours of marching.
Howard raised his left hand. The piece of broken iron had been embedded in his flesh and blood during the repeated cutting and healing of his skin. Howard gritted his teeth and pulled out the broken iron piece. The pain was no less than pulling out a piece of bone.
During these two hours, the "bread crumbs" did not attract any birds.
Howard smiled self-deprecatingly. It seemed that he thought too highly of himself. None of the elves paid any attention to him.
The current situation is that the human side has reached the end of its rope and has lost all of its orc wizards. The time for this team to be destroyed can be measured in minutes.
Then Howard could only go back to his original plan, which was to let Om Messiah buff the remaining surviving humans, even if this might expose himself in the end.
"Oh my Messiah," Howard whispered, "Let's not worry about whether the package is exposed or not. Let others do the same as me."
Om Messiah didn't move, but Howard knew Om Messiah could understand.
Soon, after a brief respite, more orcs came rushing over.
This time, Howard did not put the iron piece in his palm. He raised his gun, but did not fire. Instead, he looked at the other soldiers.
He wanted to see what expressions the other human soldiers would have when they found out they were buffed.
But when the soldiers pulled the trigger, Howard's head suddenly buzzed.
No buff.
Even though he had given clear instructions, Om Messiah still did not buff other human soldiers.
He had envisioned three solutions to the current situation: Om Messiah, the Eldar, and Chaos. Now, both the Om Messiah and the Eldar solutions have been extinguished.
