Wendigo’s tale, part 3
“Where is lieutenant Wendigo? Where is he, for I must speak with him?” Comissar Reany asked as he shot an eldar aspect warrior with his bolt pistol and cleaved another with his power sword. It was raining and elder assault was getting upper hand. “Sir, lieutenant Wendigo is leading a charge against the xeno from behind. Shall I make a vox contact with him and his platoon, sir?” Private Savart reported. “Gah, if he comes back, or makes a contact, say him to come to command headquarters. I want to speak with him.” Reynar replied and shouted to eldar warriors charging him, fired a burst from his bolt pistol and continued to clean the next trench from elder.
“Men of Cadia! Follow me and the Emperor! Kill the alien!” Lieutenant Wendigo called his platoon, finest members of Cadian 48th regiment to assault elder guardians between them and mainlines of planetary defence force on the other side of eldar. His sabre, flaming in blue energy rose and fell as a sign for advance. Fragmentation grenades flew, lasguns fired around as Wendigo’s platoon charged forward. “For the Emperor, and our leader Wendigo!” shouts echoed as several squads of Wendigo’s finest, or “The fists of steel” as they called themselves, attacked eldar guardians from behind. Chainsword against wraithbone, lasgun to arcane eldar weapons, Wendigo’s sabre against eldar skull met as they clashed in swirling melee. Eldar warriors, both guardians and aspect warriors fell in their tens as Wendigo charged in with his men, eldar lines were already wavering as the momentum of the Fists of steel extinguished, Wendigo noticed it also. “Keep fighting! Where is that cursed vox operator? Bring him here! Hello? Lieutenant Wendigo to bluebird base! The eldar resistance is growing here, prepare giving covering fire, we are falling back soon.” Wendigo reported and duck to give speech horn back to vox operator. Just to notice his comrade slain. “Holy Emperor! What happened to you, boy?” Wendigo almost screamed as he saw vox operator’s stomach bursted open, and vox caster also ripped apart with one powerful strike. “I hope that my message got trough, otherwise it’s just me and my men.” Then, Wendigo gazed upwards, and all fighting ceased, as big, towering figure appeared from the smoke. Great lances of hell-fire bursted from its shoulders as it gunned Wendigo’s men down.
“It’s a wraithlord! Fall back! Fall back! I will buy you time.” Wendigo screamed and prepared to make his last stand against this ultimate killing machine of eldar. He took his last melta bomb from his belt, and started his prayer for the Emperor. “Praised be thee, our most holy and ever vigilant Emperor, guide me on my last act on the battlefield, as I may not survive this. Give me a chance to buy my men a little time to make their retreat. “He finished his prayer in making of the sign of the Aguila. And raising his powerful sabre to salute his rival. Then, he leapt forward, and few of his most trusted men followed. “For the Emperor! Covering fire!” Wendigo shouted as he leapt forward and armed his bomb while running. He did not even notice strange blue aura that surrounded him and strange chanting, almost sing-like voice that echoed over the field as he draw nearer his adversary. Then, suddenly the wraithlord fired his bright lance aimed straight at Wendigo’s head. Small medallion around Wendigo’s neck almost melted for its bright glow, as lance draw nearer and hit. Except that it didn’t hit. Blue forcefield emerged just before the lance hit, and reflected that lance back towards wraithlord. Wendigo did not even tremble for almost getting slain, but made his last few running steps with inhuman strength and speed, and as wraithlord was distracted of impact of its own bright lance, Wendigo made it through. He slammed the ticking melta bomb to wraithlords leg, and jumped away, holding his ears. Then, booming thunder rang through the whole battlefield as melta bomb exploded, and teared whole leg of the wraithlord apart. It fell, and as it fell, the eldar broke and fled the battlefield. Wendigo stood up, shooting some rounds from his bolt pistol at eldar warriors, and passed out for exhaustion.
“Lieutenant Wendigo! Wake up! How in the name of Emperor did you manage to drive that eldar scum away?” Comissar Renay asked as he woke lieutenant Wendigo and helped him to get up and led him to medical treatment, where his men already were. One of the less wounded veterans helped commissar Renay and opened his mouth to answer before Lieutenant Wendigo did. “Oh, it was really awesome, sir! Blue light surrounded our lieutenant and there was singing and everyone and everything except lieutenant slowed down. He single-handedly destroyed that wraithlord without even slowing down as bright lance shot him straight to head. And as wraithlord fell, so did the eldar. In my opinion, our most honoured and ever living god-Emperor was him that moment.” And he made the sign of the Aguila as he finished. “for the possibility of this being true, Wendigo, I must call inquisitors and check your story. Oh, and by the way, as you went behind enemy lines, our astropaths received a message from nearby world. They called for help, and your platoon is ordered for help. For your deeds here, you may earn a promotion, but before you even think about that, go to the command headquarters for testing and prepare you remaining men for a journey.
