Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 160: Which noble would wear armor to attend a banquet?

The moment the dagger with kinetic energy activated pierced his chest, many thoughts flashed through Alvin's mind.

But, it eventually converged into one idea.

Grass!
Fortunately, I was careful before attending the banquet!
The huge impact force was no less than being hit by a car. Alvin had no idea how the assassin's seemingly slender figure could contain such great strength.

He was stabbed in the chest with a dagger, and then was violently knocked away by the assassin, like a rag bag, and hit the pillar of the banquet hall directly.

If it weren't for the biological armor, this collision alone would have confined him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

However, after knocking Alvin away, the assassin showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Just because the feeling of the assassination seemed a little bit wrong.

The dagger wrapped in kinetic energy seemed to have stabbed into hard armor, and did not pierce the target's heart as he had imagined.

The assassin was stunned for half a second, as if he was doubting his life. He wondered if the dagger given to him was picked up from some garbage dump, otherwise why couldn't it pierce the other person's clothes?

But soon, the assassin understood the reason, it was not a problem with the quality of the dagger.

But Alvin Valxius, this shameless guy, actually wore a piece of "armor" inside to attend such an important banquet ceremony!
A suit of pitch-black armor was revealed from Alvin's noble clothing that was torn apart by the passive dagger.

"Oh shit, luckily I was more careful!" He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling extremely grateful for the sudden flash of inspiration that came to his mind when he was changing his clothes just now.

If it wasn't for the sudden inspiration that made me put on Sister Silent's 'Armor of Vow', I would have been fucking dead just now!

That dagger is a kinetic weapon, and biological armor can't stop it!

Covering his chest where the dagger stabbed him, Alvin's heart beat faster and his face turned pale with fear.

It is no exaggeration to say that that was the closest he had ever been to death!
Even being dragged into the Scarlet Fortress by Old K and facing the challenge of Khorne was not as exciting as that second just now.

His heart almost jumped out of his throat, but fortunately he was protected by the 'Armor of Oath'. Apart from being knocked away, which caused a little pain, and being harassed by the soulless realm, which made him feel very uncomfortable, he did not suffer any serious injuries.

The moment he saw Alvin being stabbed, Horn's heart almost stopped beating.

He couldn't imagine that the only direct bloodline of his family was assassinated by an assassin on the day of the inheritance ceremony. The thought of falling from heaven to hell in an instant was enough to drive him completely crazy!

But fortunately, with the Emperor's blessing, his grandson Alvin Valshus seems to be fine!

“Kill him—!”

Horn finally came to his senses, and his voice echoed throughout the banquet hall like an angry lion.

Albert and Raymond came at lightning speed!

Although they handed in all their weapons when attending the banquet, they were real Astartes. Even without weapons, wouldn't it be easy for them to capture an assassin?
But the situation seems to be a little different.

Seeing that his attack had failed, the assassin moved very flexibly and bypassed the two Astartes who were rushing towards him.

Since stabbing the heart won't kill it, then... change your position!

The assassin was obviously determined to die and had no hope of returning alive. He acted like Deadpool and rushed towards Alvin again with a dagger in his hand.

The Soulless, also known as the 'Untouchables', have no projections in the Warp, and will literally form a 'vacuum' around them, sucking all souls within range into it. This is almost a natural restraint, especially for psychics!

The Emperor once formed a group of silent sisters. The owner of Arwen's "Armor of Vow" was an "untouchable" during his lifetime. In other words, when facing the "untouchables", Arwen is like a lamb to be slaughtered!
Looking at the assassin who was extremely agile and even faster than Astartes at one point, Alvin was about to draw his gun, but was enveloped by the "Soulless Field" again.

Instantly, extremely unbearable pain surged into his heart, so much so that he found it difficult to even think.

"I've met my nemesis!"

Alvin felt dizzy, as if he was shrouded in darkness, and his soul felt like it was falling into a black hole.

boom!
Suddenly, an extremely accurate bomb blocked the assassin's path.

It was Gransol, the experienced Inquisitor, who predicted the assassin's path in advance and intercepted him with a grenade launcher.

The assassin just stopped, turned around and rolled out.

boom!
Albert's huge fist smashed directly on the ground.

Looking at the assassin who was like a loach, the captain was so angry that veins on his forehead bulged. It was the first time that he was played by an assassin like this.

But thanks to Gransol and Albert, the assassin was forced away from Alvin and out of the soulless realm. The young man became furious!

Assassination?

Alvin was furious, and there seemed to be a flash of scarlet blood in his eyes. He directly took out a plasma gun that had not been used for a long time from his private space.

"I asked you to assassinate me!!!"

The moment the trigger was pulled, a plasma ball with a diameter of half a meter burst into dazzling light!
The assassin's eyes widened and he cursed in his heart: Who the hell attends a noble banquet carrying a plasma gun!
Then there is no more.

No matter how agile the assassin's movement is, he can't avoid the plasma cannon, and his whole body will be melted by a single shot!
After dealing with the assassin, Alvin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What the hell! I haven’t even had time to enjoy the benefits of aristocracy, but I’ve already experienced the feeling of being assassinated.

He suddenly felt that the profession of a noble was not much safer than that of a scavenger, especially for the last heir of a merchant dynasty, the risk was too great!
"By the Emperor's blessing, the heir of Valshus is safe."

The cardinal of the state religion nearby was also frightened by the sudden assassination. With trembling lips, he hurriedly expressed his position: "How dare they assassinate the heir of the great Merchant Dynasty? They must be evil Chaos heretics and a betrayal of the Emperor!"

"Yes, this must be an evil heresy!"

The officials specially sent by the Ministry of the Interior were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they jumped to their feet and cursed heresy and chaos.

This matter really cannot be investigated in detail!
It's terrifying to think that they could specially dispatch a 'soulless' assassin to the succession ceremony of the Valshus Merchant Dynasty!
He is just a small official of the Ministry of the Interior. How many lives can he have to risk getting involved in this?

Horn's eyes were gloomy, like a sharp knife, cutting through the faces of the people attending the banquet one by one. But in the end, the old man's heaving chest and fierce eyes gradually calmed down and restrained, as if nothing had happened. He said calmly: "Yes, this must have been an assassination by the scum of Chaos. Fortunately, the child was blessed by the Emperor, so he survived."

This sentence set the tone for this assassination.

After hearing what Horn said, the tense expressions of the people present relaxed a little, and they all began to go with the flow, angrily cursing the evil Chaos and Heresy.

"Thank you very much for coming to today's banquet."

After Horn calmed down, he still followed the etiquette of the nobility and apologized to the people around him slowly, saying slowly: "But this happened today, please forgive me for temporarily ending the banquet. I need to take him to rest."
