Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 831 The terrifying Heraf Source Being, flames instantly kill two "conspirator" company commanders

Upon arriving in the orbit of Indra Sur, the fleet of the Seventh Chapter of the Order of Shadows immediately deployed its attack formation.

During the Second Randan War, data on the liberation of this world by the warband was retrieved.

The simulated sanctuary, overseen by the "Knowledge Keepers," guides the artillery commanders, who are then appointed by the "Arsonists."

The light spear, like a finger falling from the sky, precisely struck the key points of the defense.

The sudden burst of light engulfed the orbital defense facility.

The missile platform and air defense array were reduced to ruins without firing a single missile or shot.

The multiple sonic booms of the hypersonic shells reverberated, and the deafening roar echoed through the fortress and bunkers.

"what……"

A terrifying howl drowned out the explosions in the real world, echoing in the void.

On the bridge of the Void Hunter, a relic-class warship, Okafor, who recently advanced to the rank of "Astrologer" through studying the constellations and mystical knowledge of the Sak Trada Abyss, gazes at Indra Sur with his unclosed "Eye of the Secrets."

The mind-based psychic saw tendrils extending from beyond the veil of shadow, taking root in Indra Sur.

The rising rays of light, like thousands of sharp blades, shattered the tendrils into tiny fragments.

The tendrils disintegrated and vanished rapidly.

"The orbital bombardment was very effective; at least one-tenth of the aliens lost their parasitic bodies."

Chapter Lord Sanchez activated the communications network, "Initiating an orbital drop."

He glanced at the Vesa chieftain beside him. Since Khlav couldn't see into their territory, he spoke directly.

"Hlav on the ship is now in your hands."

“The Reaper Lords, I have them under my control.” Okafor blinked his mysterious eyes.

As the airdrop pods rained down on Indra Sur, whispers from beyond the real world echoed in Edwards' mind.

He murmured, "Yes, I know, it's time..."

"Captain, what?" the deck enforcer asked in confusion.

Edwards's gaze fell on his squad, his voice deep and enigmatic, as if from another world.

"The Shadow of Order has betrayed the Emperor; we must stop them!"

"What?" The law enforcement officers suspected they had misheard.

"Captain, but..."

“We must act immediately and retrieve the molten metal bombs from the armory,” Edwards said again.

A distant force climbed up the back of the law enforcers' necks, and they said in unison.

"Yes, that's right, we must take action."

Their steps were synchronized; they lifted their left legs at the same time and landed simultaneously, like high-level servitude machine gunners tuned to the same frequency.

“Just cross this deck area and you’ll be there…” Edwards said, though it was his first time going to the Armory of the Shadow of Order, the conditions there were etched into his mind.

One by one, stars suddenly appeared, dazzling and brilliant.

Not the stars that Edwards saw, the stars that pulsated for him.

They truly hung overhead, casting rays of light that converged into magnificent pillars of light, enveloping the surroundings.

"Ah..." The surrounding law enforcement officers dissolved rapidly in the starlight, collapsing and dissipating.

The distant stars twitched, and the scream made Edwards' neck ache.

“Shadow of Order…” Edwards raised his hand, about to shoot at the black-armored warrior.

A roar preceded his movement as the mind-machine servants on both sides of the think tank raised their bedrock-type explosive guns and launched an attack on the enemy.

"Astrologer" Okafor stared intently at the parasite that neither the "Star Pillar" nor the bomb gun had managed to kill; he was hunched over, his joints twisted in an odd way.

The injuries he suffered left black lines on his face and hands, with his intricately patterned intestines scattered on the deck.

“Shadow of Order…” he roared, panting as he swept his gaze across the blood-stained chunks of flesh on the ground.

“You killed my slave.”

As he roared, he swung his arm violently, squeezing out the remaining spiritual power from the body.

boom!boom!
The two sturdy creatures forged by the craftsmanship of the space dwarves were pulverized into clouds of black sand. The "astrologer" Okafor's body instantly became transparent, as if transformed into a statue formed from aggregated starlight.

The statue shattered, and brilliant starlight surged forth, escaping the range of telekinesis.

The scattered starlight reassembled, revealing Okafor's body.

The "astrologer" Okafor relies on "Id Astrology" to evade Helav's attacks while simultaneously opening his mouth.

"Roar!"

The griffin roared and struck Edwards directly.

Herav roared in agony. He had witnessed the fall of interstellar empires and the birth of gods, but the pain caused by that roar was something he had never experienced before.

Every nerve in his distant body, detached from the material world, bled amidst howling sounds, the impact tearing apart the psionic tendrils that commanded his slaves.

The roar of the griffin echoed throughout the Seventh Chapter's warships, tearing apart the psionic tendrils that covered the entire fleet.

Indra Sur, the residence of the planetary governor.

One hundred children raised laser pistols. They didn't aim, but the laser beams they fired converged into an ocean, engulfing the giant green wolf that ran like the wind.

The wolves of Katachan were burned to ashes, and the heavy shadow of order crashed to the ground.

The legs of the Mark IV Ultimate Armor emitted plumes of black smoke, and the scorch marks on the armor made it look unlike any newly issued weaponry.

He ran and rushed into the collapsed building.

One hundred elderly people raised their arms, and as the laser guns were aimed at the ruins, they pulled the triggers.

The dazzling beams pierced through the smoke and shot into the eyepiece of the rapidly moving Order Shadow.

boom!
The body fell to the ground.

Khlav mobilized ordinary civilians who had never held a gun before, unleashing a fighting force comparable to the elite Sun Auxiliary Army.

Amidst the terrifying explosions of beams of light ionizing the air, one after another, black-armored warriors fell on their charge.

Suddenly, the defenders stopped moving, and the crowd looked around blankly.

The pervasive smoke filled their dazed minds, and the remains of the black-armored warriors came into their view.

"Oh my god! What have we done..."

bang bang bang...

The crowd dropped their weapons in terror, as if they hadn't been the ones skillfully wielding weapons to kill just moments before.

"Attack!" The Reaper Lord Sanchez's voice rang out like a razor's edge in the battle group's command channel.

Without a sound, one after another, the Catachan wolves took to the air, including Thibault, the commander of the 1st Company; Stevens, who had recently become the commander of the 5th Company; and Porti, the commander of the 7th Company…

The "conspirators" launched a coordinated attack on the planetary governor's mansion, but instead of unleashing flames to incinerate the civilians who had killed their comrades, they did not do so.

They knew these people were slaves of the aliens, and killing them was pointless.

Their goal is clear—to occupy the Hlav originators within.

They didn't deliberately give way; the Catachan wolves ruthlessly smashed through the crowd, their claws tearing apart the bodies of those who stood in their path.

Amidst the splattering of blood, the company commanders of the Fourth and Thirteenth Companies were the first to leap into the mansion, with a flock of blazing crows rising above their heads.

The "conspirators" waved their arms, trying to spiritually guide the crows forward.

"Shadow of Order, Die!" Two dazzling psionic flames shot out faster than the chilling voice, even before the words were uttered.

The fourth company commander's personal energy shield shattered instantly, torn apart like a thin sheet of paper.

The Hades-type Terminator was reduced to ashes, along with its body and the Catachan wolf beneath it, incinerated in a boiling fireball.

The 13th Company Commander, Katachan, pounced on the ground. The "conspirator" pressed his hands down, and two fiery snakes rose up.

puff!
The psychic flames engulfed the crimson fire, and the colorful light swallowed the black-armored body.

The Thunder Wolf King was much larger than the Rhino armored vehicle, its body towering over the crowd, and Sanchez's eyes narrowed.

The terrifying Origin of Khlav instantly killed two "Conspirators" company commanders with flames.

No wonder only Lord Saint Gilles and Lord Anglon have ever defeated them.
