I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 237 So what is the price?

[Start this Waaagh simulation.]

The system text flashed before my eyes.

Li Nuo's consciousness left Apimatt and headed towards an unfamiliar sea of ​​stars.

Before long, a barren, yet slightly green, primitive planet came into view.

This was an enclave established by the Iron Slag Warlords.

After establishing a foothold here, the Iron Slag Warlord moved his entire family here, making this planet his base of operations.

The green-skinned battleship Wolf Blade left the subspace and appeared at the highest point of the planet's near-surface orbit.

The Iron Slag Fleet, patrolling orbital space, noticed the subspace signal and came to investigate the Wolf Knife.

After some communication, both sides explained their intentions, and the Iron Slag Warlord boarded the ship to meet the Beast King.

Li Nuo, possessing the body of Axon, encountered the Iron Slag Warlord and his guards boarding the ship near the helipad on the lower deck.

These are a group of red-skinned orcs with horns on their heads, black eye sockets, and black armor covering their bodies. There are several small bulges on their backs, as if something is about to crawl out of them.

At first glance, the appearance of the Iron Slag Warlord and his guards bears some resemblance to the Bloodletters commonly seen under Khorne's command.

But they were much larger and more imposing than the Bloodletter, and their every move carried a strong smell of blood and heat, like walking furnaces of blood.

The most outrageous thing about them is their weapon, a giant blood-red axe made of flesh and steel, with a tangible blood-red light shimmering on it, clearly a powerful weapon enchanted by psionic energy.

The corrupt and chaotic nature of the "Iron Slag Warlords" surpassed that of the "Blood Cow Warlords."

This is Li Nuo's intuitive feeling.

He followed the group, trying to enter the surface of the warp to examine the demons inside the red-skinned orcs.

Sure enough, the demons inside these beastmen had already grown into semi-finished products.

The demons' physical outlines matched those of the orcs; they wore the orcs' bodies like suits, with the hard lumps on the red-skinned orcs' bodies corresponding to the spikes on the demons' bodies.

When a demon grows to a certain size, spikes will protrude from the beast's body, making the latter's appearance increasingly terrifying and horrifying, thus becoming a true "child of enchantment."

The orc boy by the roadside muttered to himself:
"These guys seem pretty tough, but I think no matter how tough they are, they're just Urge's little brats."

"Hmph." A heavy snort came from the Iron Slag Warlord's ranks, and his scarlet eyes glanced at the orc boy by the roadside.

The orc fell silent as soon as he was swept over by the cold, bloodthirsty gaze, and cowered behind the crowd.

Its pathetic appearance drew a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha! You're such a coward!"

"If someone just glances at you, you'll wet your pants like a fart!"

"Coward!"

Feeling humiliated, the orc boy returned to the front of the crowd and shouted at the Iron Slag Orc who had let out a loud groan:
"This is Boss Urge's territory. I advise you to behave yourselves! If you dare to cause trouble, I guarantee you'll get a beating!"

"Wow! You've got guts, buddy!"

"I think you're the coolest guy around here!"

The surrounding crowd of onlookers cheered and jeered.

The Iron Slag Warlord stopped and glanced back at the orc boy leading the group.

One of the Iron Slag Guards turned around, and his thick right arm shot out like lightning.

"Pfft!"

The iron fist pierced the orc boy's skull, and red and white substances splattered everywhere, leaving the scene instantly silent.

The warlord orcs actually made a move on the Beast King's territory!

This scene took everyone by surprise, even Li Nuo was a little stunned.

Those who join the gang are tough; they'll take the life of a beast at the slightest provocation and turn the tables.

Now it's up to the Beast King to decide what to do.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Two of the Beast King's personal guards approached, their steps heavy.

The orc boys and fart spirits around them stared wide-eyed, eagerly anticipating a good show.

Before the Beast King's guards could speak, the Iron Slag Warlord leader raised his giant axe and swung it fiercely.

A flash of crimson light streaked past, and the Iron Slag Guard's right hand was severed at the base, blood gushing out.

The enormous hand crashed to the ground, turning into a pool of foul-smelling red sludge at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Iron Slag Leader met the gaze of the orc guards and said in a deep voice:
“I’ll trade one of your big brother’s hands for one of your lowly orcish brats.”

The orc guards exchanged a glance, put down their chainsaws, and stepped aside to make way.

The Iron Slag Team sets off again.

The Iron Slag Guard, who had lost his right hand, didn't even glance at the severed hand on the ground before turning and leaving.

After taking a few steps forward, the wound on its right wrist stopped bleeding on its own, and with a surge of psionic energy, a brand new right hand grew out of its wrist.

This stunned the orcs and fart spirits who were watching the spectacle.

"Wow, how can it grow so fast?"

Compared to it, I'm just a weakling.

"Even Urge's lad couldn't grow a right hand that fast!"

A group of people surrounded the line of people with iron slag, shouting and yelling.

The Beast King's guards roared, forcing back the onlookers—orcs and fart spirits—so that the group could proceed.

Their destination was not the mad doctor's laboratory, but the council chamber on this ship.

The skull platform formed the throne of the Beast King, upon which Ulgri sat, looking down at the approaching Iron Slag army.

"Iron Slag, someone told me that you betrayed Ulanno when I wasn't looking. Is that true? Answer me honestly."

Ulger's deep voice echoed in the council chamber.

Iron Slag Leader looked up, his scarlet eyes meeting those of the Beast King beneath his helmet:
"I did not betray you."

"Then what about your skin and the debris inside your body?" Ulger pointed a finger, his voice icy:

"Don't think I don't know, you've been hooking up with a bunch of sharp-nosed bastards called Cruel Seekers. They modified your body, stuffed some rotten stuff inside, and made you look as ugly as a freak with a skin disease."

"Since you already know all this, then I'll tell you the truth, boss." Iron Slag stepped forward and roared in response:

"I did make a deal with that sharp-tongued brat, but I didn't betray you! Merging with that piece of junk will grant me even greater power! Far stronger, fiercer, and more awesome than the power you gave me! I will use this power to wipe out even more shrimps for you and expand your empire!"

"Hmph! Lying!" Ulger slammed his hand on the armrest, abruptly stood up, and slowly walked down from the platform:

"Then let me ask you this. I don't like junk, I'm mortal enemies with junk. If one day I were to go to war with junk, would you stab the junk inside your body first?"

"This..." Iron Slag Boss was speechless for a moment.

"Answer me! Iron Slag! Look me in the eyes and answer me! When I go to war with this piece of trash, whose side will you be on?! Will you swing your knife at me for the sake of that lump of rotten mud inside you?!"

Ulger strode closer, his manner menacing.

Iron Slag clenched his fists and roared in a deep voice:
“Boss, you don’t understand! That piece of trash is far more powerful than you! I’ve witnessed its power! It has granted me unparalleled strength! As long as you join that piece of trash, we’ll be on the same side! Then I won’t have betrayed you!” “Bullshit!” Ulger roared.

"You damned scum, blinded by this rotten stuff, now you dare to make me bow down to it! You're dead! Idiot! I'll use your blood to warn the other kids: betraying me means certain death!"

Ulger raised his right hand, activating the traction field built into the metal gauntlet, and the chainsaw sword beside the throne flew into his hand.

"call----"

The blade whistled past, and the rapidly spinning serrated chain slashed towards the face of the iron slag.

In that instant, Iron Slag was locked onto by Urg's killing intent, leaving him with no way to avoid it.

The huge height difference meant this was destined to be an unequal battle.

Iron Slag is doomed!
At the critical moment, a grand and majestic voice emerged in Tie Zha's heart:
"He walks among us!"
"Whatever He sees, there will be natural disasters, man-made calamities, plagues, and despair!"
He said, “Natural disasters are trials, man-made disasters are cleansing, plagues are purification, and despair is the path to salvation!”

"Do not fear the suffering that destroys the body, for it brings liberation to the soul!"

(Note 1)

After that sound, another statement followed:

"Do you crave power? Do you want to defeat Urg head-on and ascend to the throne of the Beast King? Iron Slag!"

"I crave power! I crave to defeat Urg! I want to become the Beast King! But what will the price be?!"

"It is your soul! Offer up your soul, so that I may control your destiny and dominate your will! Then you will have everything you desire, everything, everything, everything!"

The serrated blade loomed before him, its sharp serrations piercing his eyes with intense pain. In this life-or-death moment, Tie Zha roared inwardly:

"I am willing! I am willing to dedicate my soul to you! I crave power!!!"

Iron Slag's roar exploded in the council chamber.

A dense, blood-red light curtain appeared on its body.

The chainsaw blade slammed into the light screen with a clang, producing a loud metallic sound.

The high-speed cutting of the light curtain by the serrated chainsaw sends out a dense shower of sparks.

Ulger stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

Iron Slag grew wildly, demonic spikes bursting from the hardened block, and scalding blood gushed from all over its body. This blood instantly covered the ceramic steel armor, forming a layer of blood-red protective gear covered with spikes.

"I challenge you, Urg! My master has granted me unparalleled power! I will defeat you head-on! I will devour your flesh! I will drink your blood!"

Iron Slag raised both hands high, the giant axe in his palms swelled several times its original size, bursting forth with blood-red light. The scarlet axe blade resembled a guillotine, brimming with killing intent.
"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull sacrifice to the Skull Throne!"

The iron slag grew rapidly, and the giant axe crashed down.

Urg stood frozen in place, seemingly stunned by the psionic energy fluctuations emanating from the other party, facing the crimson giant axe head-on.

The orc guards roared and charged forward, firing their guns as they rushed to provide support.

The barrage of bullets fired from the heavy multi-barreled thermobarrel was completely blocked by the blood-red light barrier, unable to even touch Ulger and Iron Slag's bodies, as if the battlefield where the two were located had been divided into independent spaces by the light barrier.

Seeing that Ulger was about to be beheaded, Li Nuo's mind raced and he decisively took action.

Brain freeze technique!
Vibration Technique!
The two bacteria work in tandem, acting simultaneously on the iron slag.

The movement of the iron slag was suspended for less than 0.1 seconds.

Ulger snapped out of his daze and answered his subordinates' provocation with a roar and a swift blade:

"How dare you defy me! Die!"

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz——————"

The chainsaw blade roared forward and plunged headfirst into the iron slag's face.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzz——————"

The serrated blades frantically sliced ​​through the iron slag's head, and filth poured down like a rain curtain.

The crimson two-handed axe froze in place, its blade just centimeters away from Urg's head, yet it couldn't bring itself to strike.

Iron Slag's head was shredded, and the serrated blade cleaved its body in two from top to bottom.

"Clang, clang!"

The two halves of the corpse fell to the ground, causing the ground to tremble.

Urg panted heavily, casting a vicious glare at Iron Slag's guards, his chainsaw flashing wildly, stirring up gusts of bloody wind.

As the last Chaos Orc perished, the crimson light that enveloped the battlefield vanished.

The Beast King's guards ran closer and finished off the corpses on the ground one by one.

Li Nuo, hidden in the shadows, slowly withdrew his finger that had been pointing at the battlefield.

Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say.

It's better to help Urg than for him to be beheaded by the Chaos Orcs and for the Ulanor Empire to fall into the wrong hands.

"Luckily, I was careful and kept an eye on things online. If I hadn't come, I don't know what kind of chaos would have occurred here. It's not impossible that the entire galaxy's trajectory could have been completely altered due to Ulger's premature demise."

Li Nuo felt a pang of sadness.

On the other side, Ulger shook off the bloodstains from his chainsaw and angrily gave the order to bombard the planet.

The Wolf Blade unleashed its full firepower, deploying all its escort ships and fighter jets to seize the initiative.

Urg personally led a team to sweep away the enemy on the surface, venting his anger.

A total of forty Beast King guards traveled to the surface via a specially designed shuttle, closely following the Beast King.

Ulger began to purge the warlords who had defected.

The situation of the Iron Slag Warlords was similar to that of the Blood Cow Warlords; only the warlord leader and his personal guards received the Chaos "Blessing," while the other orcs and farts were not eligible.

Regardless of whether they were related to the rotten stuff, Urg relentlessly hacked and slaughtered, determined to wipe the Iron Slag Warlords off the planet.

I believe it won't be long before the other warlords who defected will receive the same treatment.

As things unfolded as expected, the mastermind, Brother Li, was hiding in the bridge, secretly watching the battle broadcast on the holographic screen, feeling quite gratified.

It's time to get back to my own things. There's still so much for me to research, and I need to really develop the online space.

Li Nuo was about to "log off" when he suddenly froze.

"By the way, how's that boarding squad doing? I haven't logged in for a few days, have they been discovered?"

Just as I was thinking this, the locator inside the bridge let out a strange cry:

"Holy crap, guys, this is bad! One of our frigates has been stolen by those spiky kids! They wiped out the crew and are starting up the warp engines and those lousy shields, looks like they're trying to force their way out of here!"

Li Nuo raised an eyebrow, stopped at the porthole, and looked at the frigate whose flight path was obviously abnormal.

I don't know how the boarding squad managed to do it; they somehow managed to infiltrate the frigate and successfully seize control.

Half a minute later, the subspace rift opened, and the frigate shot in and disappeared without a trace.

Li Nuo watched the ship enter the subspace, pondered for a few seconds, and decided to find an orc on the escort ship to conduct a simulation and see what was going on on board.

If the boarding party doesn't know how to navigate, Li Nuo wouldn't mind possessing the psionic boy and acting as his guide.
