Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 190 Biet-Tan's Vicious Avenger

On the Shadow of the Kings, Nimrod sat on his throne, listening to an urgent report from Arsène Dunne.

"My lord, Arenis has sent an urgent distress report."

"The Empire-appointed governor, Francesco Solaire, has sent an urgent distress message: a large number of Eldar have suddenly appeared in the world."

"Governor Sorel led his troops in resistance, but suffered repeated defeats and is now retreating to the governor's mansion for a final stand."

Nimrod, knowing that the Sessac family was a noble family that had pledged allegiance to him and that Arenis was an important supply depot for the Battle of the Flame Wheel, decided to go to their aid.

After the Shadow of the Throne docked in high orbit around Arenis, the Primarch led the Honor Guard members aboard five Stormbirds and flew toward the Governor's Residence.

During the journey, the Primarch's attendant noticed that the Primarch's gaze was fixed on the inner wall of the Stormbird and spoke up.

"Sir, the technical sergeant has been studying the complete Stormbird data and has made progress on the quantum domain repulsion device."

"Based on the current research progress, substantial progress is expected to be made in five months, and the first new experimental aircraft will be manufactured."

Ninglu nodded and turned his gaze to the view through the window, looking towards the governor's residence.

His dark eyes swept across the scene, and the first thing that caught his eye was the green heavy aircraft.

The moment Ninglu saw the green heavy tank, he recognized the Ark to which it belonged.

Biye-Tan, the most powerful ark of the Eldar.

The Void Weaver is a tank unique to Biet-Tan. In addition to firing monomolecular filaments, the Doom Weaver Cannon also spews out large amounts of bacteria and spirit bone parasites.

They will dissolve everything, leaving not even a trace of the spores of the Eldar's old adversaries, the Greenskin.

While the Voidweaver Tank is effective, many Eldar hate this method of killing and regard these heavy tanks as abhorrent.

For the Eldar, bacteria and spirit parasites are used to transform the world; their purpose is to create life, not to kill.

Only Biye-Tan, dedicated to restoring the glory of the Ancient Eldar Empire, uses this type of tank.

As Nimrod was about to conquer the Greenskin Empire, he couldn't help but think: [Isn't this just a gift to me? Capture a Voidweaver for research.]

If we can cultivate the Spirit Bone Parasite, the battles of the Flame Wheel, and even the future war with the orcs, will go much more smoothly.
Ninglu scanned the other vehicles and Eldar, identifying the runes on their bodies.

The Eldar who attacked Arenis had runes consisting of three parts, from top to bottom: a heart, a semicircle, and a cross.

[It really is Biet-Tan.]
For Ye-Tan, the runes not only symbolize reincarnation and rebirth, but also the return of the past, embodying their ambition to restore their kingdom.

"Fire!"

Upon receiving the Primarch's command, Stormbirds mounted six Terrorstrike Missiles and locked onto Voidweaver.

The missile, trailing a fiery tail, whistled as it slammed into the forked tip of the green body of the Eldar heavy tank.

The Void Weaver spewed black smoke and spun as it fell.

The Val engine roared, and the Doomsday Weave Cannon fired a sky full of monomolecular filaments, shooting towards the Stormbird.

The Void Shield generator emitted a piercing alarm sound, which stopped after several seconds.

The turret is equipped with four twin laser cannons and three twin heavy bolters, which fire blinding beams and dense explosive projectiles at the ground.

A dozen or so berserk avengers clad in green armor were torn apart by intense firepower.

Before the Stormbirds landed, Nimrod had already opened the hatch and jumped out.

Upon landing, the Primarch immediately launched a charge, crashing into the ferocious Avengers clad in blue Tribal armor.

In the eternally war-torn galaxy, the Eldar are the most numerous to choose the path of warriors, unlike the "militia"—the Guardians—who only take up arms when faced with crisis.

They devoted themselves entirely to the art of war, giving every breath to the pursuit of military perfection.

The path of a warrior is complex and long, with many branches.

Each branch is called the Battle Branch, representing a different aspect of the Eldar war god Cairne.

The Avengers warriors originated from the first Phoenix Lord, Asulman.

After the fall of the Eldar, Asulman led his ark far from the ancient Eldar empire's homeworld and established the first tribe warrior shrine there—the Avengers.

Wearing a magnificent crest made of green exotic creature mane, the ferocious avenger, more distinguished than his kind, raised his star dart launcher and launched a precise, overwhelming attack on Nimrod.

Stardarts are practically synonymous with Eldar, but most Eldar, including the Guardians, cannot precisely control their attacks. Their monomolecular filament-based attacks are more accurate than those of Terran archers.

The warriors of the Avengers Shrine are different; their faith stems from the anger of the God of War, Kane, towards the God of Forging, Vaal.

In Eldar mythology, Lilith, the goddess of dreams, had a dream in which the Eldar would destroy Cain.

Lilith's dreams possessed accurate precognitive properties, and upon learning of the prophecy, Kane naturally began slaughtering the Eldar.

Isa, the goddess of life, begged the chief god Asuyan to save her child.

Phoenix King Asuyan agreed to His request and erected a barrier between the subspace and the physical universe, stipulating that no deity may interfere in any affairs.

Isha, the mother goddess of the Elven race, and Kudus, the father god, could not sever their love for their child and secretly taught him to move forward.

After Kane discovered this, he reported it to Asuyan, the king of the gods, who then handed the two gods who had defied the law over to the god of war for punishment.

The god of war and murder used every punishment he knew to punish the two gods.

The god of forging, Vaal, made a pact with Kane to forge one hundred swords for the god of war within a year.

Even a mortal wielding a sword forged by Vaal could easily defeat a thousand enemies.

Over the course of a year, Val worked day and night, but in the end, he only managed to forge ninety-nine weapons. He was then forced to mix one mortal weapon into the forge.

Like other Eldar myths, there are two versions of the aftermath of "The Hundred Swords of Val".

In the version of the Avengers' Shrine legend, the God of War and the Eldar were defeated in their war against the Necromancers of space because of this ordinary weapon.

The Avengers' precise shooting stems from their anger at Val's broken promise; they strive to ensure that every single dart hits its target, inflicting the cruelest punishment on the traitor.

Every Avenger is a master of the Star Dart Gun, and they use the extended version unique to the Avenger Shrine.

They have advanced computerized aiming aids on their shoulders, which are connected to long-range weapons via their armor.

The panspectral analyzer can work independently, detect and track multiple targets, project their information onto the helmet display, and distinguish between friend and foe.

They also established a tight connection between the spirit bones in their hands and their star dart weapons, and with the help of a sophisticated locking system, they used psionic energy to launch precise and deadly attacks on their targets.

Under the command of the bishop, who was dressed in extremely exquisite and beautiful armor, the ferocious avengers launched the "Blade Storm" in perfect unison.

Hundreds of Avenger-type star dart guns locked onto Nimrod and pulled the triggers simultaneously.

The berserk Avenger emptied his weapon in an instant, each shard of star dart firing with perfect accuracy.

Razor discs swept in from all directions.

Each razor disc contains thousands of monomolecular filaments.

Each monomolecular filament, under the psychic control of the ferocious avenger, was shot toward Ninglu.

Under the command of the ferocious Avenger Bishop, dense monomolecular star darts converged into a storm, covering the black armor.

No one could escape such a dense attack, not even the Primarch.

Ninglu raised his left arm to protect his head.

Dense monomolecular filaments converged into a storm, shooting onto the black armor.

The storm of star darts was blocked by the cast iron scales covering the black armor.

The scales were sourced from the Ironscale Kraken hunted by the Primarch. The technical soldiers processed the scales and inlaid them onto the black armor.

The monomolecular dart, powerful enough to tear apart a dozen Macado heavy tanks and pierce Stormbird's Void Shield, did not cause any damage to the Black Armor.

Ninglu swung his left arm, his power punch slamming into the ferocious Avenger. Golden light struck the Avenger's star-shaped launcher, tearing the star-shaped spear and the blue and white heraldic robes apart.

The Primarch ascended into the first level of Thelma's mind and swung his sword to block the attack of the ferocious Avenger Bishop.

Ninglu, who had not felt any mental attack, was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the Spirit Race had not yet discovered the Soul Stone and the Berserker Sword had not yet been born.

Kane's representative roared in anger and donned the "war mask".

　　Furthermore, the clown possesses an airship called the Void Weaver, so the "unique to Bie-Tan" mentioned in the official lore should refer to the tank. The two can be easily distinguished by their color and shape.
