Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 508 Queen Qiu Or's Air Cannon
The planet Svek is divided into five large continents and thousands of islands by the sea, and Alkahas Far landed on the largest continent.

He had just jumped out of the airdrop pod when he immediately saw the overwhelming surge of Chu-Oor people.

Becoming a "sailor" unleashed the hidden power within Alcahas's superhuman body. He wielded a chainsaw-like giant axe in one hand and raised an archaeological pistol in the other, firing it into the air.

The scorching rays collected by the planet's radiation layer pierced through the "paper shell" outer layer, burning it to ashes along with the internal cavity.

The legion commander's honor guard fired a dense barrage of bullets into the air, and alien corpses fell like rain, their slime splattering onto the lush green trees.

Alkahas looked up at the obscured sky and suddenly remembered that the Black Emperor had told him that Queen Chu-Ol could lay thousands of eggs every day and that each Chu-Ol person could live for about ten Terra years.

[The Qiu-Ol people have already established themselves in this world; they must gather more followers.]
The Lord of Shadows immediately marked his coordinates in the 19th Legion's tactical network and issued a rallying order.

He then switched communication channels and called the fleet.

"Master of the Auger Matrix, maximum power scan. I need the twenty coordinates with the strongest life signals."

As the green runes in the tactical network rapidly approached, Alkahas simultaneously saw five squads appearing in different directions.

The explosive assault gun spewed beams of light into the air, burning swarms of adult Chu-Ol warriors to ashes.

In the tactical network of the Alkahas eyepiece, the red dots in the surrounding area disappeared rapidly, while the green dots increased.

His helmet’s built-in communicator suddenly beeped. When he answered it, the voice of the Auger Matrix Master came through.

"Shadow Lord, scan complete."

"The nearest coordinates are 14.83 kilometers away from you, and there are at least 100,000 aliens there."

After hanging up the communication, Alkahas immediately marked the target location in the tactical network and issued the attack order.

He strode forward, clad in the Iron Cavalry-style Terminator armor.

After becoming a "sailor", he felt more relaxed when putting on the armor. Although he was not as agile as when he wore the Mark I power armor that he had been wearing since the "Unification War", his steps became much lighter.

Alkahas slowed his pace, but still gradually distanced himself from the squad clad in Iron Cavalry-type Terminator armor, with two guard squads in Mark III power armor following on either side.

Suddenly, Alkahas charged forward, his giant axe whirring.

The shell struck the Terminator armor, and "Sailor" raised his hand and fired a beam of light, blasting the abdominal cavity connected to the armored vehicle.

The armored vehicle, disconnected from the bio-mechanical interface, rammed into us due to inertia.

"Sailor" fired a beam of light at another armored vehicle while swinging his giant axe.

The chainsaw-like giant axe hissed as it tore the alien armored vehicle to pieces, the organic-coated metal fragments splattering against the Terminator armor.

Alkahas continued his march, crashing into the Chu-Ol armored group.

The chainsaw axe spun rapidly in the "sailor's" hands, flying up and down.

Amidst a piercing screech, the chitinous limbs were shredded, splattering with slime, and metal fragments of varying sizes struck the armor with a clanging sound.

After destroying the armored forces of the Chu-Oor people, Alkahas found himself standing at the entrance to a large basin.

He glanced at the tactical network on his helmet and saw that the target point was right in front of him, with a dense sea of ​​red filling the screen.

Alkahas looked into the basin, where groups of Qiu-Ol people were swimming at the entrance.

Unlike the adult male warriors they had encountered before, they had no wings, and their bodies were supported by one or two pairs of three-jointed legs.

The Lord of Shadows raised his giant axe and pointed it at the basin.

"Purify the aliens!"

The Astartes following closely behind him roared in unison.

A dense barrage of bullets rained down on the Chu Or larvae, turning them into a pile of fragments. Alkahas crashed into the aliens, crushing the Chu Or larvae into pus wherever he went.

Upon entering the basin, he immediately saw that the surrounding mountains were covered with countless eggs.

Alkahas's gaze was immediately drawn to a colossal figure, as large as a mountain.

She was ten times the size of an adult male warrior, and each of her arms was three times as thick as the warrior's.

Her enormous body had no wings; she lay on the ground, her three pairs of compound eyes staring fiercely at me.

"Hunting team, prepare!"

"Everyone else, destroy all the Chu-Oor people, burn all their eggs."

The Astartes immediately carried out their commander's orders and fired explosives at the Chu-Ol larva.

The Destroyer took the molten weapon and the incendiary assault gun from its companion, took to the air, and swept away the densely packed eggs on the cliff.

Queen Chu-Ol's three pairs of compound eyes saw her children dying in droves and let out an angry roar.

A storm suddenly swept through the valley, causing the eggs on the cliffs to fall in a flurry. The larvae of the Qiu-Oor species were swept up by the air currents and flew towards the center.

At the center stands Queen Chuo Or, her abdominal sac undergoing rapid and complex movements of its honeycomb-like structure, with muscle filters and thirteen valves pulsating at high frequency.

Just as she was about to launch an attack, she saw a figure rushing towards her at high speed.

Wherever he went, scattered eggs were trampled into puddles of mud like balloons, and the larvae of Chu-Ol were torn to pieces by chainsaw.

Alkahas raised his hand and fired a beam of light at Queen Chu-Ol, while Queen Chu-Ol launched her own attack.

A deafening roar erupted, and with a sharp whooshing sound, thousands of eggs scattered by the wind and dozens of Qiu-Ol larvae were crushed into dust wherever the air cannonball passed.

The air cannonball struck the beam and immediately engulfed it.

Alkahas discovered that the scorching, deadly rays collected from the planet's radiation layer were instantly engulfed.

With a thought, the "sailor" felt the "phantom scales" hidden beneath his skin begin to move.

The command was given the instant Alkahas was thrown into the air.

"Hunting team, now's the time."

Dozens of arcs of electricity shot out simultaneously, hissing as they slammed into Queen Qiu-Ol.

She trembled all over, and her writhing abdomen stopped.

Alkahas crashed heavily against the cliff, and countless rocks tumbled down, burying him beneath.

The guards immediately charged toward their commander, and the hunting party angrily fired a second volley of electric arcs at the target.

As the Shadow Lord's honor guard members were anxiously digging, they suddenly felt a tremor beneath their feet.

Alkahas emerged from the rubble, covered in dust and dirt, the chest plate of his Terminator armor dented.

"I'm fine." The sailor's tone was normal. At the last moment of the attack, he used "Phantom Scale" in time. The shock wave penetrated the armor but did not cause him any damage.

Alkahas heard a sound like a mountain collapsing, and the ground trembled violently.

He turned his head and saw Queen Chuo Or lying helplessly on the ground, her body heaving, clearly having fallen into a coma.

Alkahas also saw dozens of massive stone pillars protruding from behind her, covered with runes of the Qiu-Ol people.

[The first hunt was a bit of a disaster, but thankfully I completed my lord's mission and obtained Queen Qiu Or and the Planetary Marker Stone.]
He pressed the rune, and the chainsaw sword gradually stopped trembling. His gaze passed through the basin and looked towards the sea.

After the hunt, I'll set sail and enjoy being a "sailor."
