Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 219 Lamb

Humans are emotional animals.

Many times, even though people know what to do, they just can't get over their emotions, and end up making bad choices.

At this time, external force is needed to force them to make decisions that go against their own will.

Seeing Sister Silent's attitude soften slightly, Howard also felt relieved.

so far so good.

What Howard said here was already very tactful, and he had more pointed words to say.

That is, he actually never stopped the Sister of Silence from going to die, nor did he stop anyone who wanted to die. If someone was prepared and wanted to die, he would have nothing better to do than to hinder them.

If the Sister of Silence really wanted to fight to the death for the so-called glory, she should not point the spearhead at herself or at these bean sprouts. Instead, she should grab her weapons and rush out of the safe zone to die in the pile of orcs. No one would stop her.

But is death really what Sister Silent wants?

When there is no choice but death, I wonder how many people will hypnotize themselves, blindly give up their lives, and fantasize about death as something extremely noble.

The loyal warriors of the Empire have an unnatural worship of death, and the root of this worship is itself a lie.

The lie spread throughout the Empire that loyal warriors who fought to the death would rest in peace on the Golden Throne, so death was considered a good destination in the minds of these warriors. In the real world, the ancient Vikings believed that those who died in battle could be buried in Valhalla. Consequently, Vikings were naturally warlike and considered dying comfortably in bed a disgrace. And isn't the Golden Throne a Valhalla in space?

In reality, the Vikings' Valhalla does not exist, and the same is true in Warhammer.

In reality, as human beings' understanding of the world continues to improve, the cult of death has gradually disappeared from the stage of history. If there is still someone shouting that he wants to fight to enter Valhalla, the people around him will probably consider contacting the nearest mental hospital to see if there are any patients who have escaped.

In the Warhammer world, the lie of "Returning to the Golden Throne" is still deceiving and even forcing countless people to die. Some people shout this slogan because they don't know the truth and really want to sacrifice themselves for their ideals. Some people shout this slogan because it is a good reason to deceive others into dying. Howard despises this behavior.

So he called on the elves to give those humans who originally had no choice a possible option of survival.

Just like on that Blood Angel spaceship that had traveled from three hundred years ago, he pleaded with Freya to release the remaining Imperial Navy soldiers, giving these otherwise doomed humans a chance to survive.

Even after being released, the fate of those humans who had looked directly at the demons would probably not be very good. They might go crazy or be cleared out by the Inquisition, but this was not something Howard needed to consider. At that time, Howard got himself stuck in the quagmire in order to rescue them from a dead end. He had no mind or ability to consider a way out for them. However, at worst, after they got out, they could find a Feng Shui treasure land close to Terra and commit suicide by shooting themselves. It was better than being killed by the demons on the spot.

At that time, those humans also made their choices. Some chose to save their lives and not to resist in vain, while others chose to embrace glory, jumping off the evacuation spacecraft and shouting that they would die heroically for the Emperor. Howard did not judge this.

It was just that some of the navy shouted that he was a traitor, which really hurt him at the time.

As for now...you're calling me a traitor? Only once-loyal individuals can be called traitors. It's as if I was ever loyal to the Empire.

Howard knew that it would be very satisfying if he said these words in front of Sister Silent, but at the same time he also knew that if he really said these words, this stubborn lady in front of him might pick up a weapon and rush out alone to fight the orcs.

He had long ceased to be the child who could say whatever he wanted to say. He could only think about such things in his heart, and at most send messages to his friends late at night to complain. But in this world, he didn't have a single friend to complain to.

Howard sighed in his heart, his eyes unconsciously looking down slightly. He was wearing three shirts, and the gem made of Freya's blood was sandwiched between his close-fitting shirt and jacket.

The trick worked, and the speed of the chainsaw sword in Sister Silent's hand slowed down and finally stopped.

In fact, Howard was able to persuade Sister Silent not because of his superb rhetoric skills, but simply because persuading a person is actually much easier than most people imagine. The most difficult step in the persuasion process is not "speaking", but making the person you want to persuade "listen to you". The best way to avoid being persuaded by words is to not listen to them, but Sister Silent, who had been practicing hard since childhood, obviously had not received this kind of training.

Of course, although Howard's rhetoric skills are superb, they are not stupid. If he persuades the Sister of Silence to ignore the Bird Empire and serve the Eldar, then even if there are more Eldar standing beside him, the Sister of Silence will not be able to calm down.

Sister Silent put down her chainsaw sword. She needed to think and digest what Howard said.

Howard didn't bother her, but tried to walk past her. Sister Silent didn't stop him or attack him. Although there was still hostility in the eyes of the other imperial soldiers, it was much better than before.

Howard walked into the Empire's lines and began searching.

He was looking for the Battle Sister Gloria, not because he had any feelings for her, but because they had previously come to the conclusion that this human war was a meaningless political show by Iowa. Therefore, Howard judged that Gloria was more likely to support retreat than the average person, and Gloria's rank carried considerable weight among human soldiers.

After searching for a long time, Howard finally found the combat nun sitting on the ground with her back against an ammunition box, repairing her equipment in a corner of the front line.

Howard walked over to Gloria and was about to speak, but Gloria suddenly said:

"fraud."

The Battle Sister raised her head and looked at Howard with a half-smile on her face.

"Me?" Although Howard had a bad feeling in his heart, he still pretended to be calm.

"When you were communicating and negotiating with that alien on the spaceship, the content and images of your conversation were also transmitted here at the same time," Gloria replied. "Those aliens took the initiative to transmit it."

Howard's mind exploded.

Howard thought to himself, no wonder, I was wondering why the Sister of Silence decided he was a traitor as soon as he arrived here, and the other imperial soldiers were so hostile to him. Even if the Sister of Silence could figure out through the cause and effect that he was the one who lured the Eldar here, given her personality, it was unlikely that she would tell her analysis to everyone else.

The moves of this group of B aliens are really insidious and effective. It is equivalent to telling everyone clearly that I want to sow discord among you, but Howard can't do anything about them because what they present is the truth.

If these humans really thought he was the messenger of the Eldar god, then he would have no chance of staying in the empire anymore. His only remaining option was to make a living among the Eldar.

What's even worse is that Howard told Charandi and Gloria two different versions of the truth about the orcs' deaths.
