Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 712 Star Snatcher Harken: Damn it, who the hell cut my power lines?!
"Isn't it?"

Gabriel gasped as he looked at Haken the Starseer and the swarm of Chaos Raptor Warriors behind him.

He underestimated his own ability to make sarcastic remarks.

Back when he was raided on the black market, this guy attracted a lot of Imperial troops by himself and was almost trampled to death by the Imperial Guards.

Now, he has single-handedly drawn most of the Chaos Raptor forces over.

Murderous.

Faced with such a situation, Gabriel decisively turned and ran.

He didn't hesitate for a moment, showing no dignity whatsoever as a soldier.

That's the basic quality of Blood Ravens; otherwise, given their habit of constantly touching other people's treasures, they would have been killed long ago.

"Run, you coward! Even if you hide in the void, it won't do you any good. I will drag you out and pierce your heart!"

Harken roared, his gloomy voice filling the surrounding communication channels.

He had never been so eager to kill anyone; his crimson, twisted gaze had long been locked onto the other.

Then, he suddenly hurled the Hell Spear, the abominable weapon that seemed to have eyes, piercing the target with unnatural speed.

This was Harken's favorite move, and countless powerful warriors had fallen to his spear.

Once the Hell Spear is thrown, it will actively seek out its target, leaving virtually no room for hiding.

But just as the Hell Spear pierced Gabriel, the space fluctuated, his figure vanished instantly, and then reappeared in the area next to him.

The fatal blow grazed past the Blood Raven Commander and embedded itself in the fortress wall ahead.

The runes on the tip of the abominable weapon's spear erupted with fel energy, and lava fission spread throughout the entire wall.

This caused it to crack and collapse, with countless scorching hot boulders crashing down.

Gabriel dodged the incoming boulders, his heart pounding with anxiety: "Savior above, please, please, please, don't let anything happen to the relics and equipment!"

The Starslayer, Harken, possesses extremely powerful attack methods.

If he hadn't used the alien teleportation equipment given to him by the Savior to dodge, that attack would probably have destroyed the armor's force field and even caused fatal damage.

If his relics or equipment malfunction or encounter other problems, he will be completely helpless.

However, before Gabriel could react, the Chaos Raptor Force's molten rays and pillars of fire covered him.

Even with several life-saving relics, he could not withstand it.

The Chaos Raptor Warriors who attacked using the jump pack further slowed him down, giving Starseer Harken more opportunities.

Within minutes, Gabriel's relic force field was breached, and wounds appeared on his armor.

Precarious.

More than ten minutes later, Gabriel had exhausted most of his relics and equipment. His armor was shattered and half of his helmet was missing.

Her long, golden hair was singed into an afro.

But he kept running!
This is the true value of the Blood Raven Chapter Leader, even when besieged by the Starseers and their Chaos Raptor forces.

They can also survive.

In fact, he had previously scavenged equipment and vehicles discarded by the Imperial Guards and Grey Knights, which also involved many dangerous situations.

This is not his limit!

However, the sheer number and mobility of the Chaos Raptor Warriors were overwhelming, and Gabriel was quickly surrounded.

The Hellspear of the Starslayer, Harken, grazed his head several times, nearly killing him.

"Brother Harken, I was a little offensive just now."

But everyone makes mistakes, just like when you boasted that you could flatten Vigilant Star in eighty days.

Gabriel was genuinely panicking now and tried to de-escalate the situation: "I've already apologized, can't you calm down and be a little more magnanimous?"

However, he started with his habitual taunting mode, which unfortunately increased his firepower and provoked a frenzied attack from the Star Reaper.

"Go to hell!"

Harken's rage intensified: "I will nail you to the land of Vigilance and let you die like a broken-backed dog!"

One fortress after another collapsed under the attack of the Hellspear.

Lava flows.

"Damn it, have you dealt with those kids yet? If this keeps up, I'm afraid I'll be going to die on the throne."

Gabriel lifted the stone that was pressing down on him and looked at the shadow of the chaotic raptor that Harken cast from the sky.

I felt a little numb.

It is only because Vigilant Star has a dense network of fortified buildings and countless underground networks that he has been able to survive until now by relying on his shelters.

But now, he has been driven to the brink of despair and has no chance to escape.

However, the next moment, a roar from afar drew everyone's attention; it came from the area where the Blackrock Crown was located.

The Black Legion's defenses there have been breached.

A distress call came through the Chaos Raptor Squad's communicator; the Blood Ravens were approaching Blackrock Crown!

"fraud!"

Upon receiving the message, Harken the Starslayer felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had made a mistake.

Without the slightest hesitation, he roared and turned back to defend.

The same applies to the other Chaos Raptor Warriors; compared to killing the Blood Raven Chapter Master, the safety of Blackrock Crown is more important.

That was a special facility needed by the Great Raiders, and it was also key to destroying the Vigilant Star.

After the Chaos Raptor Forces left, Gabriel finally breathed a sigh of relief; the Blood Raven Cubs had carried out their plan.

I just don't know what results they achieved.

In fact, only a professional team like Blood Raven could penetrate so deep into enemy lines.

Meanwhile, Starseer Harken rushed back to the defensive line.

He was relieved to find that there was nothing wrong with the Blackrock Crown, realizing that he had been worrying too much.

After all, Blackrock Crown is the Black Legion's most important facility at present, and it is covered by multiple layers of protective netting.

Even if a large army attacks, it is difficult to cause much damage.

But soon, he grabbed a black mechanical sage and flew into a rage: "What did you say? What do you mean our energy facilities were stolen?!"

It was only then that Harken realized the problem: the Blackrock Crown was indeed fine, but those Blood Raven thieves had stolen his energy routes.

In other words, the Blood Ravens caused the explosion while he was chasing Gabriel, and then stole the Felsteel Neural Cable during the brief chaos.

This is equivalent to Blood Raven cutting and stealing the high-voltage power lines in this area right under the nose of Chaos Raptor in a very short time.

They even dismantled a high-voltage power tower, causing a power supply problem for Blackrock Crown.

Nobody knows how they did it.

The Chaos Raptor Warriors looked at what appeared to be an overturned ground and the missing Felsteel neural cables.

People have become somewhat numb.

They anticipated that the enemy might sabotage the energy facilities, so they had an emergency repair plan in place to quickly restore the lines.

With such heavy defenses, even if the enemy were to bomb, how many bombs could they possibly destroy?
However, what the Chaos Raptors didn't expect was that the Blood Ravens had even taken the Magic Steel Neural Cables.

How can this be repaired?! In this situation, they can only remanufacture and lay the cables, which takes many times longer than emergency repairs.

"Restore the line immediately."

Harken threw the Black Mechanical Sage to the ground and roared, "You must finish this before Lord Abaddon arrives!"

Fortunately, compared to the destruction of Blackrock Crown, the energy lines are a minor issue, and there is at least room for repair.

Harken suppressed his rage and plunged the Hellspear back into the earth, where tiny wisps of lava spread.

He turned to look at the crowd: "In any case, the plunderers of all ages will conquer this planet."

That great one is already on the path to destruction.

Everything on this planet, from green-skinned bugs to blood raven thieves, will be destroyed by the power of the Blackrock Crown!

Harken the Starseer's impassioned words reignited the morale of the Chaos Raptor warriors.

The Black Legion's battle cry echoed throughout the area: "We will return! The false emperor shall be slain!"

Gabriel watched the Chaos Raptor army, which was full of high morale, from a distance and felt deeply troubled.

He knew that simply cutting the high-voltage lines and tearing down the power towers wouldn't completely destroy the Blackrock Crown; those black mechanics could repair it quickly.

Blood Raven doesn't have many means left to stop all of this.

Just as Gabriel was getting worried, he suddenly saw a hint of panic and bewilderment on the face of Haken the Star Snatcher.

It felt like something bad had happened.

"Impossible! Why has Lord Abaddon's fleet lost contact? Not a single fleet has responded?"

Harken was somewhat incredulous after receiving the latest intelligence.

He comforted himself: "Perhaps that lord and the Black Legion's fleet are both in a turbulent area, which is why they can't establish contact..."

At this moment, the Chaos Raptor Force was still shouting, unaware of the Starseers' tension.

Just as they were in high spirits, a recorded communication from the savior, the emperor of the empire, suddenly spread throughout the vigilant planet region.

With the aid of some kind of mechanical power, the communication brutally pierced through all the open channels of the Vigilant Star.

"In the name of the Golden Throne and the Emperor of the Empire, I declare one thing."

The savior's, the emperor's, uniquely majestic voice resounded simultaneously within all the Thinkers' arrays, sound generators, and communication facilities, echoing throughout the atmosphere:

"The Black Legion, this malignant tumor formed by former traitors, has been completely eradicated. All related fleets have been controlled and destroyed by the Imperial Army and no longer exist."

As for Abaddon himself, he also became a prisoner.

"This message will be carried to the ends of the galaxy, to tell all the heretics and traitors who are still living in the shadows that the wrath of mankind has arrived."

Your only option is to lay down your weapons and surrender; that way, you'll have a sliver of hope.

Victory needs no explanation, the empire will last forever…

This recording of the savior caused many changes on Vigilant Planet. Humans cheered, while the alien heretics hesitated and were even afraid.

The communication recording abruptly ended, leaving only a deathly silence in the area where the Chaos Raptor Force was located.

Their cheers fell silent, replaced by disbelief: "The Black Legion...is dead?!"

No one doubted the authenticity of the information; the savior and emperor issued the edict in the name of the emperor, and falsifying it would only cause him to lose all his authority.

The Chaos Raptor Warriors were unable to accept the news for a moment, letting out cries of grief, and some were even bewildered and at a loss.

They are still at war, plotting to destroy Vigilant Star and continue the Black Legion's great cause.

How could he have died so suddenly?

All eyes turned to Haken the Starslayer, the one who was a staunch supporter of the Black Legion and a great admirer of Lord Abaddon.

"No...it's over just like that?"

Harken stared blankly, frozen in place, unable to accept it all, as more flames of psionic energy erupted from his body.

He seemed to have lost all his strength and knelt on one knee.

The star hunter murmured to himself:
"The Great Raider... No, Abaddon, you led the Unyielding Ones on sixteen expeditions and shouted thirteen times to march on Terra, but you didn't even make it into the solar system before everything turned to ashes."

The Black Legion? Those cowardly traitors have destroyed our great cause!

His sadness faded quickly, and his gaze turned cold, as if he had made a decision:
"Now only Haken the Starseer remains. We are no longer the shadows of vengeance, but the vultures of predation."

"You lackeys of the false emperor, cheer all you want! You'll soon find out that without the Black Legion, you'll face even greater madness!"

All the Chaos Raptor Warriors became solemn, their eyes fixed on the Chaos Raptor Lord, awaiting their decision.

Harken shed tears.

He looked at the Chaos Raptor Warriors and decided to go it alone.

Even without Abaddon's existence, the Chaos Raptors were already an extremely powerful force.

His somber voice conveyed: "Bloodthirsty birds of prey, Abaddon is dead, and from this day forward my name will be the new curse."

"Harken, the Undertaker of the Black Legion, the next bloody scar on the galaxy, we will..."

Harken turned and slowly walked forward, as if to pull the Spear of Hell from the ground to swear an oath.

But the next moment, he froze, his voice shifting from somber and solemn to broken: "Where is my Hellspear?!"

The area was empty, except for the projection of the Hellspear from a projection device, and the mark left by the Blood Raven.

Those damned Blood Ravens stole my Hellspear!
Harken's veins were about to burst, and his hatred was at its peak, as were those Chaos Raptor Warriors.

Damn it, Blood Raven!
Not far away, the disguise of a Chaos Raptor Warrior gradually crumbled, revealing red armor and exposing his aura.

That was Gabriel, the chapter commander of Blood Raven, who was running wildly, carrying the glistening Hellspear.

"Savior above, this is a huge win!"

Gabriel thought to himself with a smug grin. He had just discovered the opportunity and, as if on cue, had fallen victim to his professional instincts and couldn't resist stealing the Star Snatcher Haken's precious treasure.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him, and Harken and the Chaos Raptor Warriors chased after him like madmen.

This time it's a fight to the death.

"Bitter!"

Once Gabriel realized the problem, he began a desperate sprint, with relentless bombardment spreading along his path.

Even the Hell Dragon Legion has gathered here.

The warband leader activated his last remaining artifact, transforming into a streak of red light as he charged toward the nearby basin battlefield where the green-skinned warriors were located.

……

not long ago.

Be vigilant in the starry sky.

A colossal object surged toward the warning star along the void, and all human artillery fire was blocked by the chaotic force field.

It was a Black Stone Omen Ark, about to reach the orbit of the Vigilant Star, emanating a strong sense of threat.

hum~
In the dark, blood-smeared, and smeared ship corridors, the light of a magical teleportation array shone.

Ron led the elite Imperial Guard to the Ominous Ark, where the Blackstone Oscillator was located.

He knew that Horus and Erebas were most likely here as well.

Especially that annoying guy Iribas, he's been provoking me ever since he got the Blackstone Oscillator!
