Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 541 Destroying Orc Ships, Orc Landing Force

The hatch of the Thunderhawk gunship roared open with a piercing metallic tearing sound, and Tokas, the captain of the second company of the Ultramarines, was the first to leap out, his power sword drawing a blue arc in the dim cabin.

Before the three orc boys could even raise their weapons, their heads were already flying into the air.

"Establish a defensive line! Purifier squad, block the left passage!"

Tokas's voice echoed through the communication channel, and dozens of Ultramarines clad in MKX power armor immediately formed a wedge formation, the roar of explosive guns deafening in the narrow metal corridor.

Battle Sister Commander Celestine raised her flamethrower high, and holy flames engulfed the surging orcs. "Heretics will be purged!" Her voice boomed through the megaphone of her power armor, carrying a cold, metallic quality.

Suddenly, the entire warship shook violently, accompanied by a deafening roar of "WAAAGH!", as a three-meter-tall orc war chief burst through the bulkhead. Its power claws, pieced together from scrap metal, crackled with dangerous electricity, and with a single swipe, it cleaved a battle nun in two at the waist.

"It's an orc warlord! Concentrate fire!" Tokas immediately ordered. Five plasma guns fired simultaneously, but the haphazardly welded metal plates on the orc warlord's armor miraculously deflected most of the attacks.

"Hahaha! Human tin cans!" Orc warlord Krogh laughed maniacally, his power claws sweeping across, sending two Ultramarines flying. "My Iron Giant is the best!"

The orc warlord let out a series of laughs, his expression one of extreme joy. This was the battle he had been eagerly anticipating.

Those tin cans were much taller and stronger than any he had ever encountered before; this fight was sure to be exhilarating.

The two Ultramarines who were thrown back swayed and then stood up. The original-cast superspace warrior modifications had brought their bodies close to those of ordinary Custodians.

The war charge of an orc warlord was clearly no match for the original super space marines, and two Ultramarines immediately drew their chainswords and launched a counter-charge.

They were engaged in a fierce battle with the orc warlord in front of them.

The Kroger warlord's scrap metal power claws collided with the chainsaw sword, sparking blinding sparks, and the shrill sound of metal rubbing together almost tore the air apart.

The two Ultramarines launched an attack in perfect coordination—the warrior on the left feigned an attack on the lower body with his chainsaw sword, while the warrior on the right suddenly unleashed a stream of scorching white ions from his assault shield, slamming it into the orc's bare waist, causing Krogg to stagger backward.

"Waaagh!" the orc warlord roared angrily.

Kroger's stagger lasted only a moment before his burly green body quickly regained its balance.

He grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, his powerful claws crackling with electricity, as if responding to his master's raging battle intent. "You guys are stronger than I thought! But still not enough, WAAAGH!"

The orc warlord roared and stomped his foot on the ground, twisting and deforming the metal floor of the entire corridor under the force.

The two Ultramarines were forced to take a half step back, and their tactical formation slightly dispersed.

"Tactical reorganization, suppress the target!" The Ultramarines' second company commander, Tokas, had also arrived and calmly gave the order. At the same time, he raised his explosive pistol and fired a series of precise shots at Krogg's head. The orc warlord tilted his head to dodge, but several explosive rounds still grazed his armor, exploding into sparks.

Just then, the battle nun commander Celestine burst in from the side, her powered weapon slamming into Krogh's knee joint. "In the name of the Holy Emperor, kneel, alien!"

"Ouch—!" Krogg cried out in pain, kneeling on one knee as his entire leg was severed by the power sword. However, he reacted quickly, sweeping his power claws to force back the battle nun Celestine.

However, he was a beat too slow, and the two Ultramarines seized the opportunity, their chainsaws roaring as they slashed at his arms.

"Crack!!" The serrated teeth bit into the steel and flesh, tearing Kroger's left arm armor apart, and green blood spurted out.

But instead of backing down, he became even more ferocious. Orcs possess a strong regenerative ability, and despite having a leg cut off and both hands injured, the orc warlord was still capable of fighting.

Its right claw slammed into the chest armor of an Ultramariner, slamming him violently against the wall.

"Boom!" The Space Marine's body scraped against the metal wall, sending sparks flying, but the Ultramariner quickly adjusted his posture, his hind legs surging forward once more, and a backhand punch slammed into Krogg's chin.

The orc warlord's head snapped back, several teeth flying out, but he continued to laugh maniacally, as if the pain only excited him more. "WAAAGH!!" Krogh roared, suddenly pulling a crude bomb from his waist and pressing the detonation button with his thumb.

He knew he was going to die, but even if he did, he would take a few people down with him to meet Brother Mao.

"Grenade!" Tokas shouted a warning. The Ultramarines immediately activated their energy shields, while Celestine quickly retreated, raising her flamethrower to unleash a wall of fire to block the blast.

BOOM!!! The violent explosion shook the entire corridor, thick smoke and flames engulfed everything, and the green figure fled in a sorry state.

When the smoke and dust cleared up a little, Kroger had disappeared, leaving only a pool of green blood and a few pieces of broken armor plates on the ground.

"The target has retreated?" an Ultramariner reported. No one expected that the orc warlord, whom they had just fought and was still alive, would actually escape. "He really is a cunning greenskin; he even knows how to run away," a battle nun standing to the side said.

“No, he’s regrouping his offensive,” Tokas said in a low voice, staring at the biosignals on his tactical goggles. “The orc warlord won’t run away; he’ll only cause more trouble.”

The Ultramarines and these greens are old rivals; these guys may seem rude, but they're actually quite cunning.

Sure enough, an urgent report came through the communications channel from a technical sergeant: "Company commander, a large number of green-skinned signals have been detected! They are surging up from the lower deck!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy." Tokas gripped his power sword tightly, the disintegration field on the blade humming.

"Purifier Squad, reinforce the defenses, Commander Celestine, we need your flames to seal the passage."

“For the Emperor, the Xenomorphs shall be burned to ashes.” Celestine replied coldly, the fuel tanks of the flamethrower humming softly.

In the darkness, the war cries of the orcs grew closer, and the vibrations of the metal deck being trampled could be clearly heard.

WAAAGH!! WAAAGH!! Countless earth-shattering battle cries resounded as the surging green-skinned army charged forward madly.

Tocas quickly analyzed the situation: "Third squad, use the 'Heat Melt' technique! Sister Celestine, you and your sisters provide cover!"

Celestine nodded, and her battle nuns immediately changed formation, forming a dense line of explosive muskets that temporarily halted the orcs' charge.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Ultramarines' tactical squad successfully planted molten metal bombs in key structural areas of the ship, intending to destroy the Orcish spaceship.

After the molten bomb was successfully installed, the Ultramarines were ready to retreat.

"Evacuation route marked! All personnel evacuate as planned!" Tokas commanded as he cleaved aside the charging orc with his sword.

"Quick, sisters! The bomb is about to explode!" All the battle nuns and Ultramarines began an orderly retreat, returning to their landing craft.

Meanwhile, some Space Marines and Battle Sisters also deployed a dense barrage of fire from the landing craft to halt the Orc army's advance.

As the last soldier retreated to the Thunderhawk gunboat, the molten metal bomb detonated precisely on time.

A violent explosion erupted from inside the orc flagship, the chain reaction quickly spreading throughout the entire warship. Krogg, still laughing maniacally at the last moment, shouted, "Damn it, Second Brother is watching! Boom! Boom!"

Ultimately, the orc warlord could not escape his fate and went to meet his brother, the "Gorma," in space. Rhodes, who was watching the battle, hoped that he could receive the watchful eye and blessing of his brother in the warp.

The Ultramarines are incredibly powerful; it seems they don't need to fight the Ork anymore.

A massive fireball erupted in space, and the shockwave even capsized several nearby orc frigates.

The gunboat's engines spewed out eerie blue flames, tracing a graceful arc in space. Behind them, the chain reaction triggered by the molten metal bombs was engulfing the entire orc warship.

This raid was a complete success, severely damaging the orc warlord and destroying the orc's main warship.

The deputy commander of the Karga legion, witnessing all this from his flagship, immediately ordered: "All warships, concentrate fire on the commandless orc fleet!"

Now is a golden opportunity. The orcish garbage fleet has been completely destroyed, and this is the time for the commander to crush them in one fell swoop.

The main guns of the Apocalypse-class battleships recharged, and the golden Pedanium rays swept across the battlefield like divine punishment, turning countless orcish junk ships directly into cosmic dust and blasting them to pieces.

The orc fleet, now without command, descended into chaos. Some warships began attacking each other, while others charged haphazardly towards the Imperial fleet, throwing themselves into disarray.

However, the orc army still reached the skies above the warning planet. Large numbers of orc boys, riding in landing pods made from meteorites, landed on the ground without any clear destination.

This landing pod is completely unstable; whether the orc boy inside can land safely depends entirely on luck, or rather, on the protection of Mao Zedong.

Soon, the first batch of Orc drop pods landed on the surface of the Vigilant Planet, but they were met by twenty Ultramarines who were on high alert, along with the local garrison.

Then everyone watched as at least half of the orc boys crashed to the ground along with the drop pod, bursting into a dazzling display of fireworks.

Even though half of the landing force was lost, a large number of Greenskins still managed to reach the Vigilant Star, and the dead Greenskin spores would thrive on the planet.
