Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 95: Orcs' Battle Moon

Slovo and other survivors were sent to the void by transport boats.

After several rounds of inspection, it was confirmed to be safe and risk-free.

It was placed in a transport ship of the Fourth Expeditionary Fleet.

An emergency military meeting was held in the strategy room of the Invincible Reason.

The mechanical priests who had completed the debugging of the mechanical equipment sang the great Omnissiah in unison.

Data projections appeared one by one in the dim strategic room.

After all the mechanical equipment was running perfectly, they bowed and retreated, handing the strategy room over to the military personnel.
Captain of the Dark Angels.

Senior naval commander.

Director of StarTalk Communications.

Auxiliary Army General.

Logistics manager.

Titan Order.

Representative of the Knight Family.

Military court representative.

All these important people were present at the meeting.

Even if we cannot be there in person, we can participate through holographic projection.

Relevant information about the space snowman was sent to everyone.

"The Primarch was right."

Seran was the first to speak.

"The reason why the planet Baler 04 is unwilling to submit to the Empire is that they know they have been cursed by the aliens, and this curse will spread as they come into contact with other people."

"Thanks to the Primarch's wisdom, we have not made a big mistake."

"If war breaks out, I really can't imagine how those historians will laugh at our stupidity."

The crowd burst into applause.

Everyone looked at Ryan's projection with admiration and respect.

At this time, Ryan was still on the surface, leading the ground battle, and could only participate in this meeting in projection mode.

"This is my duty in being assigned to the Fourth Expeditionary Fleet. I hope that we can work together sincerely in the days to come."

Ryan's speech was very humble, and then he looked at Seran.

"Grand Master, the blizzard on the planet's surface is intensifying, and the number of space snowmen is increasing. Please shorten the meeting process."

After hearing what Ryan said, Seran nodded and spoke to everyone participating in the meeting.

"The relevant intelligence has been sent to you. The enemy is a group of highly intelligent, dangerous, deadly people who possess psychic powers. They are neither our lost compatriots nor barbarians with backward technology."

A naval general who had read the information spoke up.

"My suggestion is to evacuate those civilians and then use the extermination order on the entire world."

"Presumably, they haven't evolved to be immune to physical damage yet."

Some people supported the admiral's proposal.

"Using the extermination order is the best way. This planet has been corrupted."

"As for the resettlement issue, we can coordinate with other colonies to accept refugees from this world."

There were whispers of discussion at the meeting until Ryan's questioning voice was heard.

"and then?"

"My Lord Primarch, what then?" someone asked in confusion.

Ryan said: "This is not the first time that space snowmen have appeared in human colonies. Our use of the extermination order this time can indeed drive them away for a short period of time, but it won't be long before they come back again."

"Besides, can we really guarantee the safety of those survivors by sending them away?"

"According to the records left over from the Golden Age, wherever the space snowmen appear, even if the locals are sent away, they will die mysteriously."

"Sir, what is your opinion?" asked Seran.

"Cut the roots." Ryan's tone was extremely cold, "Burn the enemy completely."

"So what are you going to do?" someone asked.

"Start the war engine of the empire." Ryan's voice was very low, "We will ignite the flames of war in this world, and any enemy who intends to stop us will be completely destroyed."

"I will personally lead the team to hunt down the enemy's leader and find a way to get the location of their home planet from them. Then, we will fight back."

Ryan's proposal was accepted by many senior expeditionary force leaders.

It's not just because of his status as the Primarch, but more because of the strategic vision and accurate judgment he demonstrated in this battle.

The Fourth Expeditionary Fleet launched a full-scale offensive against the planet Bale 04.

The boarding deck was extremely busy as the Mechanical Sage and many priests were maintaining and overhauling the war engines.

A huge monster-like fighter plane was lying at the end of the catapult track.

Batches of ammunition were transported and loaded into the fighter aircraft's ammunition bays and wing suspensions.

The battleship entered the designated position and carried out orbital bombardment of the ground.

The heavy clouds were lit up by the incoming force of destruction.

A tower-like light descended from the sky.

In an instant, bright spears of light connected the sky and the earth.

There was nothing left at the landing point.

Within a 500-meter radius of the impact point, the ground was vitrified due to the high temperature.

Fighter planes roared down from the sky, dropping bombs and firing pulse beams at the cluster of snowmen on the ground.

A humanoid war titan was dropped to the ground.

Equipped on them, the plasma cannons as big as buildings fired beams of world-destroying light, illuminating the dim ice and snow world.

The flames of war are burning all over the world.

The imperial army displayed unimaginable terrifying power in front of the natives.

The whole world trembles with the fluttering of the double-headed eagle flag.

Ryan stayed in a temporary strategic command room on the surface.

The Thinker installed in the middle of the command room creaked and ran at maximum power.

The pale green projection showed the battle situation in various areas of the entire planet Bale 04.

The lion greedily grabbed information from various war zones.

Use your extraordinary mind to analyze and judge to find breakthroughs.

Suddenly, he noticed a message.

A squad of Astartes came under attack.

Even though all members were implanted with the Empire's first-generation genetic engine, they were severely damaged by the enemy and forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Found it." The lion keenly realized that his prey was there.

He turned around and walked out of the temporary command room.

Several gunboats outside have completed engine preheating and are waiting to take off at any time.

Astelan, Luther and other warriors followed him.

The gunboat formation took off under the escort of fighter planes and headed straight for where the enemy was.

Just half an hour later, they crossed the snow-covered mountains and arrived above a magnificent stone city.

This magnificent stone city is an ancient alien relic.

It existed before humans even set foot on this planet.

The armored lion leaped from the high-speed flying gunship.

The huge impact force caused the ground to tremble, and terrible cracks appeared on the ground.

Astelan and other warriors followed closely behind, landing on the ground with a bang, raising clouds of dust.

"Turn on scanning mode."

[Scanning mode is on, abnormal energy fluctuations detected]

Ryan's perspective changed.

The entire stone city turned grayish white, but one area was highly highlighted.

The prey he was pursuing was there.

"Be ready for battle."

Ryan activated his sword, gave orders over the commuter, and took the lead in attacking.

Fighting soon broke out.

Like skilled hunters, the Dark Angels surrounded their prey and attacked.

Ryan killed several snowmen, turning them into snow and wind, and then faced a giant one that was fifteen meters tall.

[Enemy information data retrieved, target is psychic species - Space Snowman, King-level creature]

[Possessing abilities: instant movement, damage recovery, invisibility, super strength, energy absorption, subspace travel, mental bewitching, mental induction, mental illusion, telekinesis control]

"Stupid human..."

The Snowman King grinned, revealing teeth covered in blood and minced meat. His round white face became even more hideous and terrifying.

The lion did not respond, but attacked indifferently.

If it weren't for obtaining the coordinates of their home planet.

He can let the other party know what powerful is within three seconds.

"I have lived six times as many years as your race."

The Snowman King waved his hand, and all the huge rocks on the ground flew up and smashed forward.

The lion used its speed to dodge the boulders. When it got close to the opponent, it jumped up and chopped down with the sword in its hand with incredible speed.

The space twisted and the Snowman King instantly moved behind Ryan.

"It's over, pathetic human."

A horrifying mental shock swept out and pierced into the lion's brain.

[Psychic attack detected]

"Give up defense." The lion's mouth curled up.

[Giving up the mental barrier protection, analyzing the target's mental strength]

[Warning, the host's consciousness is about to enter the illusory spiritual space]

Everything around me is constantly twisting and stretching.

Shadows and pale light continue to emerge, outlining a grayish-white world.

“This is the world of the spirit.”

The Snowman King appeared in front of the Lion.

It turned into a huge monster hundreds of meters tall.

"All your skills and your great power are useless here. Here, I am the one."

The next second, the arrogant alien seemed to have its throat strangled.

The distorted and terrifying face was full of shock and speechless.

The originally tiny lion suddenly turned into a giant that stood tall, yet it was not even as tall as the other's ankle.

The lion leaned down, its face blocking out the sky and was so big that it made people despair.

"What gives you the courage to challenge a Primarch in a test of spirit? Your arrogance alone will doom you to failure."

A boundless huge hand came down and grabbed the Snowman King in its hand.

Relying on tough measures, the lion forcibly pried open the opponent's spiritual world and grabbed the information he needed.

Countless ancient memory scenes flashed by, like playing a movie.

He saw a frozen planet in a dark area, which was the birthplace of the space snowman clan.

The lion who got the coordinates looked down at the tiny alien king.

"You were very careful, using only the subspace for movement."

"If the invasion fails, all traces will be erased to ensure that the enemy cannot track your home planet."

"But now, everything has changed."

The alien king showed a look of fear when he realized that the lion had obtained the location of the mother planet.

"Before you die, maybe you can imagine what I would do?"

"Yes, that's right. I will completely destroy your home planet and even your entire race."

"This is what happens when you dare to be an enemy of humanity."

The alien king wanted to scream and break free from the mental connection between the two.

However, it was too late.

A terrifying black hole appeared and swallowed it up in an instant.

In the real world, the fifteen-meter-tall Snowman King dissipated into snow and wind as his soul was devoured.

After the battle, the Lion boarded the gunboat and returned to the fleet in the void orbit.

After returning to the Invincible Reason, he requested access to the fleet-wide communication channel and addressed everyone.

"Next, we will give our enemies an eye for an eye."

The good news from the Baler galaxy was immediately transmitted to the First Expeditionary Fleet where the Emperor was.

It’s a pity that it didn’t attract much attention.

This was because the First Expeditionary Fleet was busy fighting a battle moon that suddenly appeared in front of them.
