Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 204 Fire Wheel: "The Burning Wall"

Sanchez immediately noticed the large, jet-black creature, and the information issued by the Father of Genetics flashed through his mind.

The leader of the war.

The arsonist immediately jumped off the jet motorcycle, raised his right hand, and fireballs began to condense.

With a flick of his wrist, he sent a fireball hurtling toward Silva.

boom! boom! boom!
Silva's fur had already been burned to ashes in the promethium explosion, and the fireballs all hit his body, tearing chunks of flesh apart.

Sanchez's eyes turned deep, and he raised his explosive pistol in his left hand, firing at the war boss.

Through "subspace insight," he exploited the Greenskins' weaknesses, and each bomb he fired inflicted casualties on the tough-as-nails Warlord.

[Ouch!]
Silva roared in anger, feeling his body growing heavier and his forward speed slowing down.

As the war boss's body grew heavier and heavier, a sharp scream suddenly rang in his ears.

"Boss!"

Silva recognized the voice as that of the Psionic Boy. He felt a surge of power within him and heard the voice of the god of war in his ears.

"Waaagh!"

The war leader suddenly darted out and charged towards Sanchez.

The psionic boy leaped out of the sea of ​​fire, used "Get Up and Fight" on his boss, and then turned to unleash a thunderous roar at the black-armored shrimp that was attacking his boss.

The crackling green mist shot towards Silva.

The arsonist stomped his right foot heavily, summoning spiritual energy to raise a "wall of fire."

The spiritual energy rapidly coalesced into two fiery serpents, which darted toward the War Boss and the Psionic Kid, respectively.

A wall of blazing fire rose around the "arsonist," and the green energy stream released by the Psyboy collided with it, creating a loud explosion.

After a few crackling sounds, the green flames were engulfed by the wall of flames.

Before Marco could even be surprised that his "burn to charcoal" spell had failed, the fire serpent had already pounced on him.

Psykim hurriedly rolled away to avoid the fire snake.

Another fiery serpent lashed out at Silva.

Ignoring the pain in his body, the war leader only had eyes for the black-armored shrimp.

Silva slammed his head against the wall of fire, ignoring the pain, and raised his greatsword to strike.

Sanchez was quicker; he raised his explosive pistol, pressed it against the war boss's chin, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Boom boom boom!
Bang bang bang!
Silva's head was blasted to pieces, and his massive body collapsed limply.

Marco rolled several times to dodge the fire snake, and when he got up, he was shocked to find that his boss was dead.

[How could that be? The boss is the boss of Waaagh.]

He is the leader of the most powerful Waaagh in the world.

He lost once; only the warlord Soriano had ever defeated him.
Marco glanced at the black-armored giant in horror, then turned and ran.

The arsonist, seeing the psionic boy fleeing, immediately gathered his spiritual energy, and a flock of crows quickly condensed around him.

The arsonist felt that after burning a large number of orcs to death, he had gained greater control over fire and was able to condense more fire crows.

The arsonist assigns a bit of spirituality to each fire crow.

After the fire crow left his body, Sanchez felt that his control over it was becoming more and more proficient.

Sanchez discovered that he could adjust the trajectory of the bullets so that the Fire Ravens would always be aimed at the Psykimboy.

Marco could feel the intense heat behind him, and the sound of heavy footsteps constantly echoed in his ears.

Psykim tried to dodge left and right, but couldn't shake him off.

boom!
Marco was hit by a fire crow, and then by more fire crows.

As Sanchez used "Fire Raven" to blast the psykimboy, he felt streams of fire surging within his body.

Other Order Shadows killed dozens of Snakebite Boys.

"Clean the battlefield."

Sanchez gave the order, and the Shadows of Order immediately sprang into action, collecting any equipment and items that the Father of Gene might be interested in.

Several squads of Shadow Order used flamethrowers to incinerate the orcs' bodies.

After studying the materials distributed by the Primarch, the soldiers of the Eleventh Legion all learned that the green-skinned creature, which emitted a foul fungal odor, reproduced through spores.

If the orc corpses are not burned, soon more and stronger greenskins will attack them.

The cleaner the cleanliness, the easier the future. Sanchez pressed the communication bead in his ear to contact the Void Hunter.

"Szesny, Jorginho, ambush tactics are effective against the Serpentbite Clan orcs."

"Order the battle group to carry out the same operation and clear out the Greenskins."

The Reaper Lord then led his men straight to the Snakebite Clan's camp.

The resistance of the remaining whipping boys and farting devils was quickly crushed.

After taking control of the camp, Sanchez discovered a large number of Sgugs in the cages. Although they were not as large as the Sgug mounts he had killed earlier, they were still much larger than ordinary ones.

The Shadow Order members also discovered venomous creatures such as snakes and spiders within the camp.

The Reaper Lord learned from the Primarch's information that the Snakebite Clan orcs would let venomous snakes bite them, which is why they were named that way.

They train their bodies in this way to gain super resistance to toxins.

Sanchez is more concerned that the genetic material might be interested in trophies such as venomous snakes.

So the Reaper Lord compiled a list of spoils and sent it to the Primarch's servant.

After gaining control of the Battle Moon, the Primarch's servants returned to the Shadow of Thrones with the Primarch.

Ninglu sat on the black throne and listened to the report on the losses.

"My lord, the legion lost a total of forty-one ships in the void battle."

"Eighty-six percent of them were destroyed by thousands of warships during a boarding raid on the Battle Moon."

"The company lost two capital ships, thirteen frigates, and twenty-seven destroyers."

The Primarchs didn't care much; the Eleventh Legion was already capable of manufacturing most common types of ships.

The Vostochny shipyard has been completed and is capable of building capital ships.

Triken Prime is taking shape, and its future construction capabilities surpass those of the Vostonia Shipyard.

Most importantly, Cypra Mundy is growing rapidly, and its future construction capabilities may even rival those of a Mars shipyard.

He was more concerned about personnel losses than the number of ships.

"The total number of Shadow Order casualties in the Void War is 1,892, with more than 230,000 crew and minions."

"A total of 1,009 people died in the battle to capture the Battle Moon."

"Among them, there were 17 members of the Honor Guard, 516 of the Second Regiment were killed, 292 of the Seventh Regiment were killed, and 184 of the Fifth and Eleventh Regiments, which joined the battle later, were killed."

Ning Lu quickly calculated that, as of now, the 11th Army Corps had suffered 2,901 casualties.

A look of sadness immediately appeared in his eyes as he silently thought to himself.

The "Wheel of Flames" was a large-scale battle, and losses were inevitable.

The Space Wolf has been at war for five years, losing one-third of its payload.

Based on the number of the Sixth Army Corps and its replenishment rate, assuming no losses, their size should reach nearly 69,000 men by 824.

Therefore, the number of wolves killed in the "Wheel of Flames" battle was approximately 23,000, and even by the minimum estimate, it should not be less than 20,000.
Nimrod realized that the Empire had not yet encountered a Battle Moon, and that half of the losses of the "Space Wolves" in the original "Wheel of Flames" were probably caused by the Battle Moon.

This estimate is still based on the "Space Wolf's" fighting style.

If the wolves encounter the battle moon, they will likely charge straight at it, which is precisely the way to minimize losses.

Thinking about it this way, the loss is still acceptable.
Through rational analysis, the Primarch convinced himself to accept that the Eleventh Legion had suffered the greatest losses.

As he pondered this, Arcena Dunn continued.

"My lord, the Reaper Lord on Planet Seven used a feinting tactic against the Serpentbite Clan, suffering only four casualties..."

“Very good,” Ninglu said with delight. “Send the battle report to the commanders at all levels.”

"Tell them to make good use of the orc data I released, find the greenskins' weaknesses, and carry out precise strikes."

After noting down the orders, the Primarch's attendant continued to report.

"My lord, the Lord of Death has sent a report that the situation in Necromonda has stabilized."

Ning Lu thought to himself in silence.

Sanchez's method of luring the enemy may not be able to solve the larger and more cunning Snakebite tribe, but it should be no problem to deal with the Greenskin tribe on Planet Seven.

The prophecy dice are almost fully charged; the conquest of Katachon should now be on the agenda.
With that in mind, he issued the order.

"Dispatch half of the Fourth and Half of the Eighth Battle Groups."

"Prepare the landing craft; I'm heading to Planet Seven to check the spoils."
