Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 713 After Eating Dreams, the Alien Who Can Use a Bomb Gun
Three Shadow Stormbirds were launched from the Hunter-class destroyer and flew silently toward a heavy transport ship.

Tezuka Sasebo, adjutant of the 36th Company of the 10th Battle Group, sat in the passenger seat.

He stared as the distance closed in, the anti-aircraft fire ignoring the three iron birds and failing to cover the area where they were flying.

Seeing that the distance had closed to one kilometer, Tezuka Sasebo raised his gauntlet and rapidly tapped on the panel.

The four Dauntless Strike Missiles mounted on the wings of the Shadow Stormbird were launched.

Compared to the standard model, the Shadow version has a shorter wingspan and carries two fewer Fearless Strike missiles.

However, the missiles powered by the Heavenly Punishment-class reactor have a far greater strike capability than other models of the Stormbird.

A salvo of twelve Nirbhay strike missiles struck the dome of the same deck area in a single attack.

As the Void Shield crackled and flickered, the second salvo of warheads overloaded the Void Shield atop the transport ship, slamming into its steel hull.

The third strike ripped the ship open and detonated it inside.

The Shadow-type Stormbird swooped down, and Tezuka Sasebo stared intently at the streaks of fire amidst the smoke.

The flames were shaped like a rat, darting about and looking upwards.

The energy pumped by the Heavenly Punishment level drives the quantum domain repulsor, generating a force field that wraps around the iron bird like a light veil.

The light was driven away by the force field, and the roar when it hit the ship was also annihilated.

When the nose of the Shadow Stormbird was still ten meters from the deck, Tezuka Sasebo could clearly see the Timefire Alien, its sky-blue fur wrapped in flames.

A sharp scream rang out, and only then did the Timefire Alien feel the shadow descending upon it.

As they scattered and fled, the shadowy figures of three small teams leaped out.

Sasebo Tezuka leaped out of the cockpit and crashed onto the deck. His magnetic boots activated, pinning his body firmly to the deck.

The air currents carrying heat waves slapped against him, yet he still steadily held up his hunting rifle.

The syringe was sprayed out and flew towards the rat-like body.

Whoosh!
The syringe flew into the fireworks and immediately exploded.

The injection exploded, and most of the liquid vaporized in the bright red flame.

A small amount of juice splattered onto the sky-blue fur, and the rat-like body immediately jumped up as if it had been splashed with boiling water.

A flicker of surprise crossed Sasebo's eyes. "A bomb gun!"

The Shadow Order members swiftly slung their hunting rifles to their left hips and raised their bedrock-type bomb guns.

A series of biological data appeared on a sophisticated retinal electronic display, and the crosshairs rapidly locked onto the red runes.

Boom boom boom!
The diamond projectile shot out, exploding into plumes of fiery mist.

The Timefire alien emitted a sharp cry, and its rat-like body exploded at the center of the two fire strikes, scattering into specks of fire.

Boom!
Sasebo Tezuka saw the Timefire alien body that the needle fired from the hunting rifle earlier had hit tremble and crash to the ground.

Its rat-like body twitched and jerked.

[Even after most of the anesthetic from Nukelia evaporated, it was still more effective against the Timefire Xenomorphs than the explosive bombs.]
"Hunting gun!" Tezuka Sasebo shouted.

As the Shadows of Order switched weapons, the Timefire Aliens all raised their guns.

The guns in their hands looked like a jumbled mess of orcish parts cobbled together, with grips and triggers that resembled molten iron.

Da da da!
The barrage struck the Mark III's steel-type power armor, then bounced off weakly, scattering onto the ground with a crackling sound.

The Shadows of Order raised their hunting rifles and fired in unison.

Whoosh...

The piercing screams grew fainter, and the swirling, fiery figures on the deck collapsed and lay sprawled out.

Tresoldi walked up to a Timefire alien and stared intently at the azure mass within the flames.

"Lieutenant, the lord said that captured aliens can be consumed during battle."

Sasebo Tezuka looked around at everyone, "Only one."

"Only ten can be eaten; the rest must be offered to Father."

“We’ll take turns eating,” Ordones said. “Trésoldi, you go first.” “Okay.” Tresoldi took off his helmet and eagerly picked up the Timefire Alien, which was as big as the giant rat from the same nest.

He opened his mouth wide and bit into the sky-blue fur that was still burning with flames.

As the scalding hot flesh entered my mouth, flames crackled and scattered.

A moment later, the creaking sound disappeared, and Tresoldi's lips were swollen and burning hot, with a crack at the corner of his mouth.

His armor was charred black, as if it were covered with a layer of volcanic ash.

At the same moment, 15,000 kilometers away, another transport ship...

In the narrow alley, a squad from the 48th Company of the 10th Regiment moved through the shadows.

The passageways for human walkways are too narrow for the shadows of order to pass through; they must squeeze past sideways.

Amidst the mingling sounds of armor, a sudden explosion rang out.

The Shadows of Order raised their hands and looked up, immediately seeing clusters of light surging down.

Thump thump thump…

Countless Timefire aliens crashed down on the Shadows of Order.

They clung to the power armor, their azure claws wreathed in flames, scratching and clawing wildly.

clap clap clap...

The fragile eyepiece was torn apart by claws, and the Timefire alien's claws climbed onto its head.

The shadows of order shook their heads, their bodies slamming against the steel walls.

Streams of flame rose up, and the Timefire alien was struck and emitted a piercing scream.

The swarm of rats crashed down from above, slamming onto the shadow of order.

One of the Timefire aliens was the first to burrow into the helmet, its abdomen tightly wrapped around the neck of the Shadow of Order.

The Shadow of Order raised its hand and grabbed the body of the Flame, its scorching hot gauntlet swung violently, slamming the alien down.

Two Timefire aliens pounced on his arms at the same time, their bodies tightly wrapped around his arms.

Just as he was about to struggle and swing his arm, another Timefire slammed into him.

The alien body coiled around his neck, and its azure claws slapped his head.

boom!
The sudden sensation of the shadow of order outweighed the dizziness from the force of the blow, and his eyes glazed over with whites.

He suddenly appeared on the training field, raised his explosive rifle, and aimed the crosshairs at the target.

Boom boom boom!
Amidst the deafening explosion, the screen shattered abruptly.

He stood blankly in the empty training field, his hands empty.

As the fireworks twinkled, the shadows of order lost their memory in their slumber.

His past was stolen by a flaming alien.

As the shadows of order stood frozen in place, a Timefire alien leaped down, jumped onto the arm of one of the shadows of order, and picked up the explosive gun.

He had just picked up the bomb gun when his hands trembled and he loosened his grip on the heavy gun.

boom!
The explosive gun slammed into the Timefire Alien that was wrapped around the right leg of the Shadow of Order.

Shi Zhi Huo leaped down, staring at the explosive gun.

He looked up and let out a piercing scream.

Two Timefires, clinging to the shadows of order, leaped down, one on the left and one on the right, trembling as they raised their bomb guns.

The howling flames of time stretched out their claws, mimicking the shadows of order, and reached for the trigger.

Six claws slid across the black gun barrel, sending flames leaping across the surface.

The bedrock-type bomb gun has a more stable body than the regular model, and it was rapidly turning red-hot.

boom!
Bang bang bang!
The three Timefire aliens were thrown away by the explosion.
