Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 386 The Supreme-Grade Gold Alloy Armor: A Perfect Target for "Strength"

Ninglu issued the order: "Activate your personal energy shield."

The members of the honor guard all raised their left hands and pressed the generator activation button on their waists.

The extra disc-shaped energy batteries on their backs lit up, and an invisible shield enveloped their bodies.

After researching the Randan technology, Gabriel's team developed the personal energy shield as a key achievement.

They replaced Randan's psionic device with an energy battery to power the protective energy shield.

Compared to Ran Dan's personal energy shield, the "Shadow of Order" version offers lower protection, but it uses alternative technology and does not require a psionic artisan to create it.

Skilled artisans can create personal energy shields using standard manufacturing processes.

Personal energy shields have not yet been fully deployed across the entire legion; only about a quarter of the members in each warband have been equipped with them, and they are all royal court monks.

Honor Guard members follow the Primarch and receive equipment first.

As they activated their personal energy shields, the Hearthborn warriors raised their automatic parallel bomb guns and fired dazzling beams at the black-armored warriors.

The Shadows of Order raised their explosive guns, and the warriors of the Fellowship of the Furnace engaged in a firefight, with bullets raining down between them.

Both sides' weapons and ammunition are based on the same STC manufacturing process, only the types of ammunition differ, but both can inflict fatal damage on the other side.

The Hearth Warriors discovered that their beams of light stopped about a fist's distance from the Black Armor before detonating.

The personal energy shield, like an invisible wall, blocked the blazing beam of light, constantly swaying.

The explosive projectiles fired by the Shadows of Order slammed into the Hearthborn's heavy armor.

The first wave of explosive bombs, with their diamond warheads, struck the heavy armor, causing them to stagger.

The Shadows of Order discovered that a single bomb attack was insufficient to shatter the thick armor of those smaller enemies.

[The armor is thick and heavy; its defensive capabilities are very strong.]
They aimed at the spot where the first attack had struck and fired second and third waves of explosives.

Boom boom boom!
The first Hearthborn warrior fell, his armor torn apart by the explosive bomb.

One after another, the warriors of the Hearth fell, forging armor from the tough alloy they had forged from ore mined at the heart of the galaxy.

Clad in heavy mechanical armor, the Ironborn, with heavy steps, swung their warhammers and mechanical claws, launching an attack on the Honor Guard.

A Kasserian "warrior" from the Eighth Legion infused his sword with psionic energy, swung it diagonally to the left, and deflected the mechanical claw.

He deflected the attack with a "Usa style" and then swung his sword diagonally to the right, using a "reverse Usa style" to deflect the heavy hammer that came crashing down.

The "warrior" was jolted back a step, astonished by the enemy's strength.

The "warrior" thrust forward, the sword tip piercing the Ironborn's brain tissue along its steel shell.

The blade crackled in his head. He held the tip there for a moment, until he was sure the light inside was off and the enemy was dead, before he withdrew the blade.

The Hearthborn warrior emerged from beside the Ironborn, wielding a gleaming plasma battle axe, and slashed at the "warrior."

The 7th Legion's Catachan "Hunter" rammed viciously into the Hearth Warrior.

As their bodies collided, the "hunter" felt a tremendous force emanating from the short, muscular body of the Hearthborn warrior.

[This short man is quite strong.]
As he pondered, he thrust his fangs downwards.

The Furnace Warrior suddenly lowered his head, and Katachon's fangs brushed past his head and pierced his shoulder.

The furnace warrior's gray hair quickly turned yellowish-brown, and his face turned ashen.

The venom of the Catachan cobra spread rapidly through the Hearthblood warrior's body, and in an instant, his corpse slammed heavily to the ground.

Nimrod drew his Vaal Sword, wielding its blade which shimmered with blue-white light, and charged into the ranks of the space dwarves. The charged blade spun rapidly, shattering the heads of Hearthblood warriors and cracking the armor of Ironborn.

Nimrod led his troops forward, and the attacks of the space dwarves struck the repaired armor before being deflected by the scales of the Ironscale Kraken.

He charged forward, and the attacks of the space dwarves could not slow him down.

After charging across four decks, a Hearthborn with a flushed face, a furious expression, and a beard reaching his chest, wearing layers of armor, roared out.

The supreme commander, clad in top-grade armor forged from gold alloy, stomped his feet and charged toward Ninglu.

His guards' magnetic coils hummed, and their glow shone on the deck.

Upon seeing the enemy clad in heavy, ornate armor, the "Corrupted Baron" thought to himself:

[The heavy armor forged by the space dwarves is extremely defensive, but it also has weaknesses that can be exploited.]
The "Corrupted Baron" pressed down with his left arm, and his spirituality burst forth.

The Supreme Commander felt a sudden increase in gravity, and his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

He moved forward with difficulty, his pace slower than ever before, like a snail.

The Ironborn, who had served as the supreme ruler for half his life, charged toward Ninglu.

They swung their heavy hammers and smashed them down on Ninglu.

Ninglu's eyes flashed with light, and his telekinetic power surged forth, sending the Ironborn flying.

The Ironborn's heavy bodies slammed against the metal deck, producing a harsh scraping sound.

Sparks flew from the metal rubbing together and scattered down.

The "Corrupted Baron" raised his hand again, and the Supreme Commander suddenly felt the gravity applied to his body vanish abruptly. His body rapidly became lighter and suddenly floated up.

The Supreme Commander struggled to maintain his balance. As a skilled miner who had once excavated precious ores in the void, he leaned forward, using his body's momentum to fall.

His body swayed in the air, as if he were drunk, and he staggered toward Ninglu.

When the Supreme Commander was still more than ten meters away from Ninglu, Ninglu suddenly raised his hand and threw a punch.

The "Corrupted Baron" was imbued with a powerful impact force in the strong wind.

The supreme commander was thrown out by the "force" and flew backwards for several meters.

The "Corrupted Baron" slammed his left arm down, sending the Supreme Commander crashing heavily onto the deck.

The Supreme Commander saw stars before his eyes, but he stubbornly got up from the ground and continued charging towards Ninglu.

The "Corrupted Baron" applied "force" to the heavy, top-grade alloy armor, manipulating the Supreme Commander's body to tumble and fly up and down, forward and backward, by increasing or decreasing the force and changing direction.

The Supreme Commander tried more than ten times, but not only could he not reach the black-armored warriors, he was also toyed with. He was so angry that his long gray hair stood on end and his beard bristled.

The Supreme Commander's eyes bulged with rage, and he swung his battle axe with all his might, hurling it fiercely at Ninglu.

The battle axe whistled through the air and flew towards Ninglu.

The "Corrupted Baron" smiled slightly. [Throwing, huh? I'm pretty good at that too.]
The trajectory of the tomahawk's rotation became a rotating circle in his mind.

The "Corrupted Baron" hung the Vaal Sword at his waist, flicked the axe handle with his index finger, and added a burst of force.

The battle axe changed direction and accelerated towards the Supreme Ruler.

The axe struck the top-grade gold alloy armor with a heavy blow, shattering the layers of armor, cutting through his neatly groomed beard, and cleaving open his chest.
