Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 327 "Vampire"

The ten regiments of the "Modian Iron Guard" deployed on the main battle line.

The Belik battle tank has an all-black hull with bright red and white paint on the turret.

The Mordians, living in perpetual night, preferred to use bright colors for their military uniforms and vehicles.

The engines of the Belik battle tank roared as it advanced across the ground, which had been blasted into darkness by the rails.

The artillerymen operated their battle cannons, raining shells down on the slave army several kilometers ahead of the front line.

The overlord of Randan roared in fury, the hidden fortress unveiled its disguise, and miniaturized shadow blasters launched an attack.

Radioactive electromagnetic waves struck several black combat tanks, leaving dark shadows on the cratered ground.

The terrifying scene did not frighten the Mordians, who possessed an iron will; the tanks continued to advance steadily.

The 1st to 10th Regiments of the "Modian Iron Guard" are the main force regiments, with more sophisticated weapon systems added to both sides of the Belik battle tanks.

The first to fifth plasma cannons roared in unison, their destructive beams striking the fortress's energy shield.

The explosion of energy collision resounded, and the combat tanks of the sixth to tenth companies followed up, with two additional multi-barreled thermobaric weapons launching an attack.

A blazing beam of light, almost invisible to ordinary people, shot towards the steel fortress.

The steel melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a twisted, viscous substance.

Then came the human slaves driven by the neural collars, whose bodies turned to ashes, freeing them from their tragic fate of enslavement in death.

Inside the Vostochny Rhino command vehicle, Bukayo Arshavin was surrounded by video screens. After reviewing the overall situation, he thought to himself.

The Mordians performed even better than I expected, not only defeating a small number of slave troops led by the overlord, but also beginning to dismantle the fortresses one by one.

If the Ran Dan aliens don't want the war situation to deteriorate rapidly, they will likely launch a full-scale counter-offensive.
Just as Bukayo had predicted, more Randan slaves emerged from the caves.

The rat-headed overlord of Randan, with a hunched body nearly three meters tall, led a large number of Randan warriors in a counterattack.

Ran Dan, the tyrant, opened his mouth wide, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth, and let out a piercing scream at a Belik battle tank.

The shockwave of the mind penetrated the steel body and echoed inside the vehicle.

The members of the Mordian Iron Guard crew, their faces contorted in pain, did not cease their work, launching an attack on the slave army amidst piercing sirens.

A few seconds later, the person in charge of the multi-tube fusion welding on the right side of the vehicle abandoned his duty and covered his ears with his hands.

But the action had no effect; the piercing scream still echoed in his mind.

Ran Dan clenched his fist, and the two Belik battle tanks simultaneously turned their guns to attack the friendly tanks next to them.

Inside the Vostonia-type Rhino command vehicle, the Dark Lord witnessed a large number of Randan psionicists appear and launch an attack on the "Modian Iron Guard" lines.

Their powerful and eerie psionic energy instantly caused the loss of more than forty Belik battle tanks, creating a gap in the battle line.

They cunningly hid among the slave army, and the scattered firepower posed no threat to them.

"Attack!"

"Calling 'Voidwalker'!"

The Astartes armored vehicles and Titans, poised for action, simultaneously started their engines and sped forward.

The Titan of the Warrior class, Fearless Heart, strode forward and was the first to arrive at the battlefield.

The Titan Soul roared in fury, its machine guns locking onto the Overlord of Randan.

Boom boom boom!
Ran Dan Overlord's personal energy shield was torn apart. He raised his right claw to support the force field shield and pushed hard with his left claw.

The telekinetic energy struck the void shield directly, and the machine guns rattled loudly.

The Overlord's telekinetic power shattered the Void Shield of the Warlord-class Titan first, and an invisible giant hand pushed against the Fearless Heart.

The Fearless Heart's machine spirit roared in anger, its machine guns still locked tightly on the Ran Dan Overlord, and a dense barrage of bullets slammed into the force field shield.

Bang bang bang!
Amidst a series of explosions, the shells shattered the invisible psionic shield.

With a piercing scream, the overlord's body was torn to shreds.

The Voidwalker Titan Legion appeared on the most dangerous battlefield, while the Third Warband's Shadow Order was also locked in fierce combat with the Randan army.

Chief Pharmacist Mikel crisscrossed the lines of the Third Army, fulfilling his battlefield medical duties. Unlike most legions that used white paint, the Pharmacists of the "Shadow of Order" wore black paint.

Like other Legion apothecaries, they used a variant of the Supreme Spiral on their right shoulder, with outstretched black wings.

Since becoming a "vampire," Mikel has come to dislike the white armor worn by his fellow vampires, which always made him feel uncomfortable when illuminated by light.

The illusory "dark wings" behind the "vampire" grant him speed far exceeding that of any shadow of order.

He would leap up briefly and then fall down, swiftly traversing the battlefield.

The "vampire's" nose trembled, accurately discerning the scent of his comrades' blood from among the aliens, oil enthusiasts, ordinary humans, and shadows of order on the battlefield.

He swept over the heads of both sides in the battle. On the ground, fifteen Thunder Wolves and forty-one Katachon Wolves ran swiftly, avoiding a large number of enemies.

A rat-headed overlord raised his staff, and a pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, crashing into Mikel.

The vampire's black, illusory wings flapped as he swiftly descended.

His left hand had no gauntlet, but was instead carved into a flexible, stretchable glove from the carapace of the Katachon demon.

The glove has a gap at the front so that his hand can pop out.

The "vampire's" fingernails grew out an extra length, covered with mysterious symbols and patterns.

The "Claw of Corrosion" suddenly shot out and grabbed Ran Dan Overlord's personal energy shield.

Its powerful corrosive force instantly created a crack.

The "vampire" swiftly swung its claws, instantly creating cracks in its personal energy shield.

With a thought from the "beast tamer," the wolf pack pounced on Ran Dan Overlord.

Ran Dan Overlord raised his hand and released flames, which engulfed a Katachang wolf.

But it still charged toward the alien, crashing into the overlord's newly raised fire shield due to inertia.

The wolf pack launched an orderly attack from all directions, their sharp claws tearing open cracks in the ground.

Teeth tore and ripped off large chunks of flesh.

The overlord screamed in anger, unleashing flames that killed the hungry wolves one after another.

But the wolf was extremely agile, and his fire attack could not hit both of them at the same time.

For every wolf he killed, he would be attacked by several, or even a dozen, hungry wolves.

The wolves are also very resilient. Even after they crash into the fire, they will not die immediately, but will always be left with wounds.

thump!
Ran Dan, the overlord, died unwillingly in the attack of the wolf pack.

The wolf pack lost one Thunder Wolf and twelve Katachon Wolves, and the rest were all wounded.

The wolves howled as they chased after the "beast tamer," while the chief apothecary began treating the Shadow of Order.

The chief pharmacist knelt beside the shadow of order, scanning his fallen brother with a medical bio-scanner from the anesthetic device mounted on his arm, while the scalpel appendage on his back moved rapidly over his body.

A moment later, the "pharmacist" helped his comrade up and took out a bottle of green medicine.

The potion was prepared by the "Pharmacist" using plants from Katachon. It could temporarily boost the spirits of the wounded and temporarily paralyze their bodies, allowing them to continue fighting.

The vampire smelled blood again, and following the scent, he saw the corpse of Order Shadow lying in a pool of blood.

Ran Dan Overlord curiously rummaged through it with his claws.

The chief pharmacist immediately rushed toward the Overlord, as retrieving the gene seed was another important responsibility of his on the battlefield.

The "vampire" raised his left arm, and a dark shadow covered the body of the Ran Dan Overlord, solidifying into an illusory yet solid pitch-black shackle.

Ran Dan, the Overlord, suddenly stopped moving, the "Abyss Shackles" restricting his movement.

Mikel's powerful cat raised its paw and telekinetically attacked his personal energy shield.

With a bang, the personal energy shield shattered, and the howling wolf pack pounced on Ran Dan Overlord.

The chief pharmacist's appendage-switching surgical saw slices through the corpses of the shadows of order, retrieving the gene seeds.
