There was one creature in Slaanesh’s employ that specialisedin the killing of demigods and avatars. That being was Shalaxi Helbane, the Monarch of the Hunt. Banished from living memorysome six hundred years ago by the Daemon hunters of the Grey Knights, Shalaxi had languished for centuries in the vast and sprawling Palace of Punishments. Now, with the atonement for that past failure at an end, it was time for the Greater Daemon to rise once more, enter realspace and slay the prophets of Ynnead. In doing so, Helbane would earn the favour of the Dark Prince once more.
色孽使用了一种造物,专门杀死半神和化身。 那个造物就是夏拉西·魔灾,狩猎君主。 大约六百年前,夏拉西被灰骑士的恶魔猎手从人们的记忆中驱逐,在庞大的惩罚宫殿中煎熬了几个世纪。 现在,随着对过去失败的赎罪结束,夏拉西将再次崛起,进入现实空间并杀死伊尼德的先知们的时候到了。如此,魔灾将再次赢得黑暗王子的青睐。
After gathering many old allies – amongst them the vengeful symbiote Syll’Esske and a coterie of Slaaneshi Heralds – Helbane entered the webway,three dozen Fiends trilling in delirious joy behind the war party. The hunt wason. With Shalaxi’s synaesthetic ability to blend a supernatural array ofsenses, Yvraine’s soul-trail was soon picked out. Shalaxi’s loping strideaccelerated into a headlong sprint – one that did not slow over time, nor haltfor rest, for when the will of their patron is behind them, Daemons do nottire. Dark dreams began to haunt Yvraine’s nights.
在召集了许多老盟友之后——其中包括复仇的共生体希尔·伊斯科和一小群色孽先驱——魔灾进入了网道,三打恶魔在部队后面疯狂地欢呼着。 狩猎开始了。 凭借夏拉西融合超自然感官的感知能力,夏拉西的灵魂轨迹很快就被识别出来。 夏拉西从大步向前,变成了全速冲刺——这种冲刺并没有随着时间的推移而减慢,也没有停下来休息,因为当他们的守护者的意志操控他们时,恶魔就不会疲倦。 黑暗的梦境开始困扰伊弗蕾妮的夜晚。
It was upon the dead world of Threccia thatHelbane launched its first vicious attempt upon the Aeldari prophet’s life.Yvraine was travelling in the company of a warhost of Biel-Tan, braving a dashalong a chain of webway gates that leapfrogged in quick succession across theexecuted planets of the Cursoai Reach.
正是在死亡的特蕾西亚世界上,魔灾发动了对艾达灵族先知生命的第一次恶毒的袭杀。伊弗蕾妮在一名来自比尔-坦的战士的陪同下,勇敢地沿着一连串的网门冲过去,这些网门在柯索伊河段被摧毁的行星之间快速跳跃。
Helbane’s ambush struck with blisteringspeed, just as the Aeldari host was exiting one such wraithbone portal into a rockyvalley of lifeless dust and wind-scoured statues.
魔灾的伏击以极快的速度袭来,正当艾达灵族大军正从一个这样的灵骨传送门出来,进入一片充满死气沉沉的灰尘和被风吹蚀的雕像的岩石山谷时。
Two spearheads of Slaaneshi Daemons sweptdown from the high passes above the valley, one encircling the rear of the Biel-Tanwhile the other swept around to their fore. Seeker Chariots rattled headlong intothe Asuryani, their assault so swift that even the whip-quick craftworlders couldnot respond in time. Blood and spinning limbs flew as the sleek war enginesdrove deep into the Biel-Tan formation.
色孽恶魔两支先锋部队从山谷上方的高地上呼啸而下,一支包围着比尔-坦的后部,另一个冲锋到他们的面前。寻欢者战车一头扎向了阿苏焉之子,他们的攻击如此迅速,即使是反应迅速的方舟战士也无法及时做出反应。当锐利的战争引擎深入比尔坦编队时,鲜血和旋转的四肢飞溅。
The narrow webway routes the Asuryani followed had prevented them from fielding grav-transports. They were thusforced to cut their way out of the ambush on foot. To these faithful Ynnari,Yvraine’s life was paramount; as Helbane cut an unstoppable red path towards theprophet, the host’s Farseer divided his forces. Screaming their dirgesong, aspearhead of Howling Banshees joined Yvraine in performing a dance of lashing bladesthat slit a neat hole in the daemonic ranks and allowed them to dash up thevalley towards the next webway portal. At the same time, the main strength ofthe Biel-Tan host hurled themselves at the Slaaneshi Daemons. It was a suicidalattack, and Helbane ripped its way through the Aeldari at a ferocious rate. Yettheir very deaths empowered Yvraine even as they proved the devotion of theYnnari to their cause. Lent impossible speed by the dead souls flowing into hermortal vessel, Yvraine outstripped even the Slaaneshi Daemons, escaping intothe webway and leaving Helbane raging in her wake. It had been a desperatelynear thing, but the prophet of Ynnead had escaped her hunter, at least for now.Helbane would not be denied forever, however.
阿苏焉之子来时的狭窄网道路线阻碍了他们进行重型运输。他们因此被迫徒步逃离埋伏。 对于这些忠实的死神军来说,伊弗蕾妮的生命至关重要。当魔灾开辟出一条势不可挡的猩红道路朝先知前进时,死神军的先知将他的部队分开了。嚎叫女妖的先锋高喊着挽歌,与伊弗蕾妮一起表演了一场鞭笞之舞,在恶魔队伍中撕开一道口子,让他们能够冲上山谷,冲向下一个网道入口。与此同时,比尔坦大军的主力也向色孽恶魔发起攻击。这是一次自杀式的攻击,魔灾以凶猛的速度在艾达灵族中杀出一条血路。然而,他们的死亡赋予了伊弗蕾妮力量,他们以此证明了死神军对他们事业的奉献。死去的灵魂涌入她的凡人容器,伊弗蕾妮以难以置信的速度,甚至超越了色孽恶魔,逃进了网道,留下魔灾在她身后狂怒。这是一件非常接近的猎杀,但伊尼德的先知已经逃脱了她的追捕,至少现在是这样。然而,魔灾不会永远被躲藏。
