Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 405 Killing the Supreme Lord of the Skot Alliance and Lord Grimnir

The bottom floor of the Forge, the ancestral shrine.

Ning Lu's communication bead in his ear buzzed, and he raised his hand to press it.

The voice of Arsène Dunne rang in his ears: "My lord, I have sad news to tell you."

"Lord Carlo of the Fifth Warband died in the battle to attack Skotforge."

Ning Lu's eyes darkened, and he was startled. He knew that Carlo was equipped with the Saturn-type Terminator Prototype Armor.

Although it is a prototype, this armor, which uses a thermal field, represents the pinnacle of human defensive technology. Only a very few hand-forged armors offer even stronger defense.

"I need a battle report."

Nimrod turned and walked out of the ancestral shrine, sending a message to Rosicky Cech at the same time.

"Prepare to teleport."

Rosicky and other technical sergeants were also equipped with Terminator armor so that they could be safer when repairing ordnance on the battlefield.

They were equipped with the Iron Cavalry version, which was more convenient for them to perform their duties compared to the Saturn-type Terminator prototype.

Malevolus and Rosicky modified Nimrod's armor with a teleportation module, enabling him to quickly reach the battlefield after connecting to the teleportation transponders of senior officers via a teleportation synchronizer.

Ninglu boarded the newly built elevator, which matched the shadowy body of the Order.

As the elevator rapidly ascended, he quickly reviewed the briefing he had received.

[The High Lord and his Broken Horn Guard, two powerful Grimnir Sages, no, they should be Grimnir Lords.]

The guards recovered Carlo's body, and the apothecary's examination revealed that he only had a wound from a heavy weapon attack on the side of his knee, but he had lost vital signs.

Dark Star weapons?
Ninglu pressed the communication bead and issued the command:

“Bring Carlo back and bury him in the Dauntless prototype.”

Although Carlo has lost vital signs, his consciousness should not have died.

Based on the location of the impact from the Dark Star weapon, the damaged bodily functions did not include the brain.

“Yes, Father,” replied the commander of the Fifth Battle Group’s guard.

With a clatter, the elevator stopped. Ning Lu strode to the teleportation platform and gave the order:
"Start teleportation!"

A dazzling light enveloped Ninglu's body.

In an instant, Ninglu appeared outside Skot's Hearth Castle.

The Primarch's consciousness spread out, instantly grasping the battlefield situation.

He immediately noticed that the Supreme Commander, clad in magnificent armor, was leading his Broken Horn Guard in a counterattack.

The Fifth Legion relied on its numerical advantage to defend, but wherever the Supreme Commander and Grimnir appeared, the battle lines continued to be breached.

Nimrod spread his golden wings and instantly appeared before a nearby Grimnir lord.

Lord Grimnir, the second-ranked lord, immediately realized the danger posed by the black-armored, golden-winged giant.

All the runes on his body, his back, and the two mind servants beside him were activated, flashing with dazzling light.

A powerful surge of psychic energy erupted, scattering rubble and ruins in all directions.

When the primordial gene has a thought, its psychic power surges.

Rumble!
The two psychic forces collided, and Lord Grimnir, the second-ranked lord, was immediately thrown away.

Nimrod drew the Vaal Sword, its blue-white light flashing, and with a slash of its charged blade, he severed two mind servants in half at the waist.

Without the support of the warp circuits, the Second Lord Grimnir is increasingly unable to contend with the Primarch.

The Primarch's eyes flashed with light and shadow, and with a push of his right hand, the Second Lord Grimnir's body floated up uncontrollably.

He pressed down again, and the second-in-command, Lord Grimnir, accelerated his fall, crashing heavily to the ground.

The psychic power surged, pressing down on his resilient body.

Amidst a series of explosions, the body of the second-ranked Lord Grimnir was torn apart and scattered on the ground.

The Primarch's precise psionic control preserves the runes intact.

At the same moment, Chief Lord Grimnir, sensing his death, immediately called out to the High Lord via communicator.

"Loftus is dead. A powerful enemy has appeared on the battlefield. Join me and we will kill him together."

The two raced rapidly toward the runes marked by each other. Chief Lord Grimnir, in his haste, suddenly noticed that the High Lord's rune had stopped. Realizing the danger, he quickened his pace and rushed toward the rune.

Meanwhile, Nimrod had already run headlong into the High Lord and his guards.

The Broken Horn Guards raised their Eta-Kahn plasma guns and fired dense beams into the air.

The runes on Ninglu's armor shone brightly, and an invisible personal energy shield opened, enveloping his black armor.

Rosicky added the same reactor as the prototype Saturn Terminator armor to his suit and made a series of modifications.

The presence of the golden wings ensures that he does not lose his agility advantage, while also providing him with a double layer of protection: a personal protective shield and a thermal field.

Energy is enveloped within a meter of the armor's surface, forming the outermost layer of protection.

The middle layer is an enveloping thermal field, and the innermost layer consists of the scales of the Ironscale Kraken and solid armor.

The energy beam slammed into the individual's energy shield, producing a series of explosions.

The reactor provides ample energy to the individual energy shield, offering greater protection than the armor of a regular Order Shadow.

The plasma beam was blocked without causing any loss to the thermal diffraction force field.

Ning Lu leaped down, and in order to quickly kill the Supreme Commander, he applied a "force" that converted the downward gravity into an upward buoyancy.

He strode towards the supreme commander of the black-armored giants, leaping even faster.

The Supreme Commander was shocked to find that he could not control his body; facing a powerful enemy, this was the most dangerous situation.

Just then, a dazzling light enveloped his body.

The Dark Star Hammer in the Supreme Commander's hand crackled with lightning as he thought to himself, "May the ancestors protect me!"

Chief Lord Grimnir arrived just in time.

Nimrod's Vaal Sword struck Darkstar's Heavy Hammer.

His eyes flashed as he looked at the short-blooded psionicist dressed in a dark gray robe.

[Like Miguel Cuesta, he is a rare technology-based psionicist.]
Nimrod decided to kill Lord Grimnir, who was amplifying the High Lords, first.

With a press of his right hand, the "force" applied to the Supreme Lord's body was instantly reversed.

Gravity slowed the Highlord's ascent, and Nimrod used this opportunity to flap his wings and pounce on Lord Grimnir.

Lord Grimnir raised his staff, and the explosive bullets fired from the bedrock-type bomb guns in the hands of his two mind minions glowed.

Boom boom boom!
Ning Lu sensed that the bomb, amplified by the technology-based psychic, struck the thermal field, causing a violent shock.

Originally, the bomb attack posed no threat to the thermal field.

Nimrod leaped between the mind servants, unleashing his spirituality. He "distorted" the will of Chief Lord Grimnir, converting his psionic energy into telekinesis.

The surging telekinetic energy swept over the two mind servants, crushing them into pieces, while their warp circuits remained intact.

Chief Lord Grimnir knew he was doomed.

He raised his staff, mustered his last strength, and unleashed it upon the High Lord.

"For our ancestors!"

Chief Lord Grimnir shouted, before the Vaal Sword pierced his brain, his head being crushed by the disintegrating force field.

After the High Lord landed on the ground, he saw the black-armored giant flying towards Chief Lord Grimnir and immediately rushed over, but he was still a step too late.

"For our ancestors!"

He swung the Dark Star Hammer and smashed it down on the black-armored giant.

The "Corrupted Baron" bulged his arm and threw a punch with all his might.

The gauntlets of the "Hand of Order," gleaming with golden light, instantly destroyed the electric dragon.

The High Lord felt an irresistible force strike him; it was the first time he had encountered a creature stronger than himself.

Even the Greenskin warlords could not match his strength.

The brute force unleashed by the "Corrupted Baron" sent the Darkstar Hammer flying, and with a swing of the Vaal Sword, the High Lord's head shattered.
