Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 807 The Song That Cannot Be Blocked Even When Covered

The orbit of Heliossa, the flagship of the Ninth Chapter, the bridge of the Relic-class battleship Wave.

Commander Szesny stood before the holographic strategy table. "The Sixth Squad has crushed the main air force of the Evans in eighteen days. It's time for us to step in."

He gazed at the holographic image of Heliossa, examining the target planet in conjunction with the report submitted by the head of the Auger Matrix.

The land of Heliossa was torn apart into three giant continents by tectonic movements, covered with rugged mountains and surrounded by a vast ocean.

"The Black Emperor has ordered us to establish landing sites on two other continents, in addition to the first continent where the Phoenix Royal Court is located," Company Commander Jorgenio analyzed.

He pointed his finger, and the image of the southern continent faded.

"We should make full use of our advantages, land on the cliff edge, and break the deadlock."

Szczesny nodded in agreement. "I agree."

"I'm number two, you're number three."

Firestorm Star forged thousands of Stormbirds and Thunderhawks that flew out of the black ships painted with waves and swooped down.

Unlike "Ultraman" who prefers Thunderhawk, or "Shadowmoon Wolf" who prefers Stormbird, "Shadow of Order" is used only based on the difficulty of transport and airdrop.

Jorginho looked through the narrow window and saw metal shavings everywhere.

Black fighter jets chased down white elegant fighter jets, dropping missiles on the mountain peaks and bombing anti-aircraft artillery and silver towers on the mountainside.

Winged crows circling and carrion vultures hovering overhead resembled dark, oppressive clouds drifting in.

"Open the hatch!" Jorginho ordered in a deep voice.

The warning light turned from red to green, and the hatch slid open.

A bolt of lightning flashed in Jorginho's eyes as "Ocean Singer," and a thick bolt of lightning struck down from nowhere, crashing into the dark clouds.

The charred bird carcass fell with a soft rustling sound.

Jorginho looked down, his gaze piercing through the clouds, and saw the boundless ocean, its azure color as clear as the cradle of the sea.

Whoosh...

Hundreds of figures in black and white came into view.

A giant bird with an elegant posture soars through the surging updrafts.

The outermost dozen or so Stormbird turrets rotated, four twin laser turrets swept beams, and three twin heavy explosive turrets sprayed barrages.

The giant bird, shrieking sharply, plunged headlong into the barrage of fire, yet even the Astartes struggled to hit its swift target.

Jorginho had never seen such agile birds of prey. Their white bodies resembled giant, feathered serpents, with long, flexible wings and strong mobility.

Behind each giant bird were two knights dressed in light black armor, seated in flying saddles.

One person acts as the rider, gripping the rein-like ropes with both hands to control the direction of the giant bird.

The other was a sniper, who raised his elegant weapon and fired at the Stormbird.

The barrage of bullets struck the black metal casing, leaving mottled marks.

A giant bird struck like lightning, its sharp beak piercing the metal shell like a spear and penetrating the Astartes pilot's chest.

The Shrike Knight.

They arrived swiftly like the wind, making the Stormbirds and Thunderhawks appear exceptionally clumsy, chasing them in vain.

Jorginho recalled the Black Emperor's mention of the elite Aven people and opened the communication channel to remind him.

"Ascend into the state of Thelma and block out sound."

After turning off the communicator, "Ocean Singer" suddenly spoke.

Amidst the chaotic and unpleasant singing, a dozen or so Shrike Knight snipers frantically pulled their triggers.

Da da da……

The precise bullet missed its target and struck the mountainside.

A shrike rider irritably pulled on the reins, slamming them against the cliff face.

boom!
The shrike rider's spine broke, and the shrike tumbled and fell among the rocks, its long beak piercing the rock face, carving a crack. The beak was stuck between the rocks, and the shrike flapped its wings in vain, striking the rock face.

The shrike riders covered their ears to block out the noise, leaving the direction of their flight entirely to the shrike's biological instincts.

However, the irritating sounds were not physically blocked and continued to disturb their minds.

Several riders' legs, which had been tightly clamped together, were now loose and their bodies were crooked.

The tacit understanding honed over decades with their mount was broken, leaving them staggering and disoriented.

The shrike's sharp claws lashed out wildly, flying towards different targets in a crisscross pattern.

A rider was torn apart by the claws of a shrike flying towards him, while his shrike razor wings ripped through the light black armor of a sniper flying to the side.

Driven by their hunting instincts, dozens of shrikes attacked the black iron bird.

Jorginho, the "Ocean Singer," shifted his gaze, his throat trembled, and his chaotic, agitated voice suddenly changed, uttering a thunderous sound.

Rumble!
The shrikes all paused, stunned by the "singing" of the "Ocean Singer".

After the Stormbird and Thunderhawk briefly lost control while circling, the pilots gradually eliminated the interference from the supernatural sounds, allowing the aircraft to regain stability.

The hatch of a Sokaren-class Stormbird slid open, revealing the Honor Guard members who were ready to go.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Fifty "wind followers" were lifted by a gust of wind that swirled around their feet and bodies.

The "Wind Followers" glided rapidly, each releasing thousands of thin and sharp wind blades with a wave of their hands.

Azure wind blades whistled as they rushed toward the target from all directions, tearing the shrike to pieces and causing the black-armored knight's limbs to explode.

White feathers fell, black armor splattered, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Jorginho, the "Ocean Singer," watched as the "Wind's Favorite" defeated the Shrike Knight, and slowly closed his mouth.

The twelve "Wind Favorites" spread their arms, and with the sound of hinges, hundreds and thousands of top-quality gold alloy armor plates opened up.

They tailored the armor to the Yard Hunter suit and gave it wings.

The remaining thirty-eight "Wind Favorites" were dragged down by the heavy Iron Cavalry-type Terminators.

bang bang bang...

Ripples spread across the sea surface, and bursts of air created air cushions.

The "Wind Favorites" floated on the sea, riding the waves and rushing towards the cliff edge.

The "Wind's Favorites" all raised their hands in unison, and the seawater, which was a kilometer wide, suddenly surged up from the shore.

Giant waves surged hundreds of meters high and crashed onto the shore.

Warriors clad in lightweight black armor painted with a double-headed shrike on their chests were knocked down by the waves, and hundreds of them were tumbled and plunged into the sea.

Thirty-eight members of the Honor Guard fired missiles from the Cyclone missile launchers on their shoulders.

Boom boom boom...

Torrential rain and whirlwinds swept across the area surrounding the landing zone.

The mountain fortress was blown away, and the rubble crashed like a waterfall onto the gleaming bridge spanning the mountains.

The bridge of HMS Kings Shadow.

“My lord,” Arsena Dunn said, walking up to the Black Emperor.

"The Ninth Battle Group has successfully established landing sites on the shores of Continents Two and Three."

Ning Lu nodded slightly as he stared at the life signals scanned by the Auger Matrix, marking forty-five regions on each of the two continents.

Ninety crow nests.

"The Eighth and Second Battle Groups will establish positions via orbital airdrops, serving as an anvil to deplete the Evan warriors."

"Fifth and Seventh Battle Groups, unleash your heavy blows and crush the enemy."

"Follow Your will." The Primarch's servant acknowledged the order and issued commands to the four chapters.
