【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第二十二章：对策 Measures(22)
My sisters didn’t even bother panning for the threat I posed, they were too busy sprinting for cover. A few of them fired blind, controlled bursts in my vague direction, but it was clear that none of them knew where I was firing from. I had a total drop on them and they were following standard combat protocol against ambushes now which was to splinter, regroup, reassess, and strike back.
There would be nothing to strike back against by the time they rallied, though.
The sole consolation that I could claim after having loosed the contents of two full magazines into a formation of my own sisterhood was that none of them had fallen to my shots. The distance had been too great, the spread too wide, and the worst any of them had suffered was a ricochet or caught a piece of shrapnel.
Still, I had undoubtedly spilled blood.
Sororitas blood.
Worse, I had done so using one of our own sacred armaments. I had done the very thing I had sworn not to permit the Orks to be able to do, and I had done so in defense of the heretical existence of a Dark Eldar.
I stumbled back from the edge of the balcony so none of the rallying sisters would see me as I collapsed to my knees. The bolter I’d been gripping like death fell from numb fingers to strike the ground with a dull thud.
