This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 79 The key to breaking the situation

【Wake up, your wife died a long time ago. I saw her soul fall into the warp with my own eyes.】

There it is again, that nagging whisper.

Cornwall subconsciously wanted to cover his forehead, but he quickly put his hand down the moment his sleeve fell.

What are you waiting for? A replacement, a figment of your imagination? A way for you to escape reality?

That sound is always so annoying.

'You lied to me, bastard.'

Cornwall replied viciously: "You said Uncle Price was dead, but he is still alive and well. You damned evil spirits, you used me, carved blasphemous things on my body, and then tricked me into killing these people so that I could see Sophia."

【.】

The voice suddenly fell silent. This was different from the future it had seen.

When it was stuffed into this body by those damned Word Bearers, it had clearly used the power of the Lord of Change to glimpse Cornwall's future.

He should see his own flesh and blood hoisted upon the wizard's banner, fall among the ruins where his last kin were buried, and finally journey to the sanctuary of the damned and help burn it.

But everything changed when Cornwall boarded the transport vehicle as soon as he arrived at the Upper Nest!

The demon was very annoyed. The faith of the cursed in this shrine was too strong, and it could not forcibly control the soldier's behavior.

After greeting the devil's family, Cornwall turned his expectant gaze towards the sanctuary.

The shrine has clear regulations that men and women can visit each other, but they must be separated, and if they want to meet, they need to ask the nuns for permission.

As for those who dared to challenge authority, they are still hanging on the execution stake.

These generous believers were not stingy in giving them food and water, but they would not allow anyone to violate the majesty of the law.

Cornwall swallowed nervously.

He was actually afraid too.

I am afraid that all this is a coincidence, all this is false.

[Right, right, you also think all this is fake, right? Maybe everything in front of you is just an illusion you made up?]

'Shut up. ’

You really should open your eyes and look around. Look carefully around you and see who cares about you. You are a weakling who needs the support of others to survive.

"enough!"

Cornwall's irritable growl scared the hunchbacked man waiting beside him, so much so that he took a few steps away from him.

"Cornwall?"

Familiar voice.

With surprise, with disbelief, with unique surprise.

"Sophia!"

Cornwall looked up at his wife and the child in her arms.

Suspicion, irritability, hatred.

At this moment, all of it disappeared.

"Sophia!"

He stood there at a loss, wanting to reach out, but afraid that all this was an illusion.

"Cornwall, it's really you!"

Sophia trotted forward with her daughter in one arm, and put her other hand through Cornwall's armpit and around his back.

"Sofia."

Listening to the familiar voice and feeling the familiar temperature, Cornwall finally relaxed his body and chose to get closer.

"what!"

Cornwall cried out in pain.

He was burned.

Burned by the Eagle Mark hanging on Sophia's neck.

"Ah, sorry, Cornish."

Sophia suddenly nervously shook Cornwall's hand.

"Did I touch your wound? I'll take you there right now. The adults can heal Uncle Price's injuries."

"No, you don't have to."

Cornwall quickly grabbed his wife. He knew his own situation. If the runes on his body were seen, he would be finished.

He jumped on the spot to indicate that he was fine.

"Let me look at you, just let me look at you more."

"Oh, you're still the same as before." Sophia chuckled, then felt helpless.

"If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to afford the delay if you were like this."

"By the way, look at Erica. Our child has grown up now. The merciful Inquisitor has issued her a certificate as a legal psychic. She doesn't have to hide anymore."

Sophia carefully dragged her daughter to her feet and faced Cornwall.

"Erica, this is daddy. He has been taking care of you since you were born."

The girl blinked, looked at Cornish fearfully, and then buried her head in her mother's arms.

"Sorry, Cornish."

Erica had no idea why her usually calm and well-behaved daughter was so frightened. She patted her on the back and comforted her, "This is Dad. He chose to join the army to protect Mom and Erica. Dad is a hero."

"Dad is a hero!"

Cornwall was deeply hurt by his wife's words.

He is not a hero at all.

He is a traitor!

"It seems like you are living a good life."

He stiffly changed the subject.

"Yes, the adults provided us with sufficient food and water, and we only needed to carve scriptures for fourteen hours a day, with ten minutes of visiting time. Erica was also favored by the judge, and she allowed me to fulfill my duty as a family member to take care of Erica, but—"

Sophia held her daughter with one arm as she faced away from her husband.

“I feel like I should do something.”

"Ah."

Holding his wife's hand and rubbing the slightly worn but still clean cloth on her wrist, Cornwall nodded in a daze.

"By the way, have you seen Uncle Price?"

The wife then asked again.

She felt that her husband, who was already dull after going to Japan, became even duller.

"I saw it."

Cornish replied, "He asked me to come and see you."

"Cornwall, Uncle Price has been taking care of me since you left. He helped me find housing and protected us from the threats of heretics for a long time. He was also seriously injured. If you can..."

Sophia's lips twitched for a long time before she finally uttered the words that seemed quite unbearable to her.

"I hope you can go and take care of him. You are the best soldier and have been the best since you were a child."

Sophia's words were filled with extremely complicated emotions.

"Cornwall, I know my request is excessive. If the Crusade and the Cadian masters are willing to accept me, I will sacrifice my life for them without hesitation, but I have no place in the Emperor's currency."

"Yes, I will."

I should go!

Cornwall shouted in his heart and immediately said:

"I will go!"

"Sorry, Cornish."

Sophia put her daughter down and immediately removed the Mark of the Sky Eagle.

This is the emblem they carved out under the guidance of the nuns while reading the Holy Word.

She hugged her husband again.

"May the Emperor's light be upon you, my hero."

The double-headed eagle emblem rests on the chest, clinging to the skin.

Cornwall reached out and took it.

This time it didn't feel hot.

"I want to see an adult who can speak with me!"

At the recruiting center, Cornwall parted the line and went straight to the adjutant.

"Sir, I have emphasized that you are not suitable to join the auxiliary army. If—"

He ignored the adjutant's harsh words and directly opened his arm, tightly grasping the Sky Eagle Mark in his hand, revealing the blasphemous inscription on his hand to the adjutant.

click!
Almost instantly, the soldiers surrounding Cornwall drew their guns, terrorizing the surrounding people into fleeing.

"I want to see a man who can speak."

Facing the murderous intent all around him, Cornwall stared directly at the statue of the Emperor. The golden light seeped out from the mark on his arm, which made the soldiers who were planning to shoot directly feel conflicted.

The hesitant and cowardly soldier was no longer afraid.
