Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 766 Ninglu: Beastman, I declare you guilty
Ninglu flapped its wings and swooped down.

His gaze swept over the dilapidated city walls.

The whistling cleaver sliced ​​through the fur coat.

Scattered black armor plates lay beside the trampled corpse, now a bloody pulp.

The eleven shadowy heads of order are planted on the leader's flag.

A raging flame ignited in his obsidian eyes.

The "Chaos Mentor's" spirituality surged forth, locking onto the green-skinned figure dressed as Leo Ku.

Golden threads of regularity wrapped around the orc warlord, layer upon layer.

Virgil's red and green eyes darted around, as if he sensed something.

The "Chaos Mentor" spoke in a deep voice, announcing in Dunn's language:

"Green-skinned man, you are guilty!"

The invisible golden threads gathered together.

"You led the aliens to invade the human world."

boom!
Golden threads tightly bound the green body, like steel wires.

Virgil was in excruciating pain in his left leg, and he staggered, nearly collapsing to his knees.

His skin stung and oozed pus.

He looked up at the sky, where the black-armored, golden-winged shrimp was speaking in a language he couldn't understand.

The "words of order" are not related to whether the target of punishment understands them; the key factors are the degree to which the target violates the order and the crime committed.

"Shrimp! Die!" Virgil raised his right arm, the trumpet-shaped muzzle of his gun aimed at the black-armored, golden-winged shrimp.

The "Chaos Mentor's" gaze swept over the sinister weaponry pieced together from six explosive guns, neither dodging nor avoiding it.

"You slaughter humans!"

boom!
Virgil felt excruciating pain in his right arm, as if it had been sliced ​​into thousands of pieces, as the megaphone weapon slammed down.

"You desecrated the corpses of the Shadow of Order, treating them as spoils of war!"

boom!
Virgil's head exploded.

Brain matter mixed with pus splattered everywhere.

The orc warlords were directly wiped out by the "Word of Order" for their crimes.

Ning Lu leaped down and grabbed the fallen old battle flag.

Rumble!
The body fell to the ground.

A flash of light appeared in the Primarch's eyes, and a surge of telekinesis sent the orc warlord flying, crashing him into the green tide.

boom!
The enormous body wrapped in Leo Ku swept across, smashing dozens of green-skinned creatures into a bloody pulp.

Whoops!

The orc warlords died, and the greenskins scattered.

Some swung their slashes, beheading the surrounding green-skinned creatures with a single blow.

Some fled while yelling, knocking down green-skinned soldiers who were firing their pistols.

……

The Valhalla people looked at the towering black-armored, golden-winged giant. With a casual wave of his hand, he swept away hordes of evil and terrifying orcs.

Lord Nimrod!

A demigod walking among mortals!

Whoosh...

A blinding ray of light pierced through the swirling snow and crashed to the ground.

Through the collapsed city walls, the Valhalla people saw black-armored giants leaping out and unleashing a barrage of projectiles at the greenskins.

They saw another giant raising his flag and striding toward the retreating green tide.

The shadows of order gathered around him.

The commander of the 15th Infantry Regiment was the first to react, and he shouted, "Attack!"

The Valhalla people's eyes blazed with the flames of revenge as they quickly found their squads, platoons, and companies, lined up in neat rows, and launched their pursuit.

Ninglu strode across the land, where snowmelt mingled with pus and blood, and following the spiritual light, found a shepherd's staff.

The staff was black, stained crimson with blood. The Primarch's gaze pierced through the blood, revealing that the staff's material had changed, transforming into a crimson crystal.

Within the "Chaos Mentor's" spiritual vision, the staff also shimmered crimson.

He silently bent down, extended his right hand, and picked up the crimson crystal shepherd's staff.

The red shepherd's staff was not sticky to the touch; the shaft was warm and seemed to emit a faint singing sound.

The extraordinary characteristics of the “Singer” are extracted and incorporated into the shepherd’s staff.

It is already a magical item.

Of course... it's also a relic weapon.
Ning Lu silently tucked the scepter into his waistband and looked toward the direction of the Honor Guard.

The original gene instantly identified its key target for investigation—Tezuka Sasebo.

Nimrod's interest in Tezuka Sasebo stemmed primarily from Ramsay, the lord of the 10th Battle Group, who recommended him to become a member of the Honor Guard.

The honor guard of the chapter lords are all members of the royal court, so recommendations for them are extremely rare.

After inquiring, Ninglu learned that Tezuka Sasebo had volunteered to join Ramsey's honor guard after returning to the battle group.

He knew, and was willing, that after death, his soul would follow the warband commander in battle.

This means that he is willing to be "herded" by the "shepherd".

Another reason why Nimrod paid attention to Tezuka Sasebo was that, in his memory, Tezuka had created and become the first commander of the "Ascetic" battle group during the Second Army Reconstruction period.

His talent was the most outstanding among the Faceless Ones, but because his combat brothers devoured alien corpses, he voluntarily gave up becoming a member of his honor guard.

Ninglu's obsidian eyes were focused on Sasebo Tezuka. He walked quickly and frequently, one of the three people who could keep up with Gül Gül's rapid strides.

As he ran quickly, his bedrock-type bomb gun fired continuously, accurately blowing up the heads of the green-skinned men one by one.

Ning Lu nodded in satisfaction and looked away.

On the fourth day of snowstorm, the Shadow of Order, together with the Valhalla people, swept away the orc camps surrounding the main city.

During a brief respite, Ninglu summoned Sasebo Tezuka.

Sasebo Tezuka took a deep breath before pushing open the door.

He walked past the unsettling Eitsack, helmet slung over his shoulder.

Sasebo's gaze swept over the black wolf and the large orange-fur cat lying at his father's feet, one on his left and one on his right.

“Father.” His calm and composed face couldn’t help but show excitement.

He never imagined that his father would summon him alone.

He knows what this means.

An opportunity to join the inner court.

He was already proud to be a member of the Honor Guard, but he never expected that his father would value him and select him for the inner court.

“Your reward,” Ninglu said with a smile, opening his palm to reveal the “Corpse Collector” potion, “Drink it.”

When choosing a potion for Tezuka Sasebo, he naturally had to choose one outside of the "Hanged Man" route.

Only by combining extraordinary individuals outside the traditional "herding" path with different abilities can the "shepherd's" combat power be maximized.

Nimrod did not want Tezuka Sasebo to die; his outstanding abilities would make him an asset to Ramsey.

The two working together is a powerful combination.

Nimrod chose the "Grim Reaper" path for him based on the death culture of "ascetics" and Tezuka Sasebo's indifference to death.

Sasebo Tezuka struggled to remain calm as he took the blackened potion from his father's hand. "Thank you for this gift."

He opened the bottle, and a stench even more foul than a pile of green corpses assaulted his nostrils.

Sasebo Tezuka tilted his head back and drank it down, his throat trembling as he swallowed the foul-smelling, nauseating medicine.

A moment later, the newly appointed "corpse collector" clearly felt his body temperature drop by more than ten degrees.

The light from the overhead lamps made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Sasebo Tezuka resisted the urge to immediately fasten his helmet and knelt on one knee.

“Father, I will make good use of the power you have given me.”

"I will die for you, for the Legion."

Upon hearing Sasebo Tezuka's standard Vostonia word for "death," Nimrod completely abandoned the idea of ​​turning him into an immortal.

[It's up to you now. If you become an "immortal"...]
The Sequence 4 "Undead" of the "Death" pathway not only has a long lifespan, but also undergoes a qualitative change in the body, making injuries no longer fatal unless the body is completely destroyed.
