Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 897 Horus: The Shadow of Order, with only three warbands, actually broke into my war zone.

On the surface of the murder planet, Yashin led his First Battle Group, Second Company, in a charge under the orders of the Black Emperor.

"The guards will advance with me, the rest of you stand by. We'll move forward after we retrieve the white thorn tree."

After giving the order, he led the Terminators into the red sand zone where no grass could grow.

The "Shield Storm" roared like Mount Tai pressing down, and furious lightning ripped through the sky.

The hissing, forked lightning struck the black armor, blasting out clusters of azure wreaths.

Crackling sounds...

The Saturn-shaped Terminator prototype relied on a thermal field to resist the surging electric current and propel itself forward.

tick...

Thousands of giant spider monsters descended from the sky with their long, transparent wings flashing, and their claws seized the shadow of order.

The "Punishment Knights" raised their right arms in unison and shouted in Dunn's language, "Flying and floating are prohibited here!"

Golden light shot into the sky, enveloping the flying species.

The flapping wings suddenly stopped, and the giant spider monster's plump abdomen suddenly became heavy, causing it to plummet rapidly.

Their hind legs slid awkwardly across the red sand, their hooks on their chests waving as they embraced the shadows of order.

The "Punishment Knights" all stepped aside and raised their arms: "Imprison!"

The extremely thick, transparent liquid layered together to form huge pieces of amber.

The giant spider monsters on the periphery immediately turned and fled, their wings buzzing and vibrating.

Yashin led his team in a great pursuit, the massive bodies of the "Punishment Knights" tightly gripping the flying species.

zizi...

Suddenly, the communicator emitted a buzzing sound, and a line of data scrolled across the eyepiece.

He stopped and looked at the pillar of fire rising into the air. [Someone beat him to it.]
Just as Yashin was about to order a change of direction, rapid orange runes appeared on the tactical interface.

He switched communication channels, and amidst the intense gunfire, a calm and powerful voice cried out: "Requesting assistance!"

Yashin located the friendly forces requesting assistance and issued the order: "Provide support."

As the pillar of fire gradually died down, the remains of the giant tree came into view of the shadowy figures of order.

Dozens of fleeing flying creatures weaved and leaped through a hail of bullets, rushing towards the warrior clad in pearl-white armor.

Yashin's eyes narrowed as he saw twenty-seven super-heavy giant spider monsters taking heavy steps, swinging their four thick forearms, and crashing into the Shadowmoon Wolves' formation.

The deafening explosions struck them, only to be deflected by the gray armor.

Its short, thick neck was tucked into its chest, with not a single part exposed.

The diamond bullet struck the broad crown and bounced off immediately.

As the blades clashed, the weapon in Shadow Moon Wolf's hand flew out.

The enormous spider monster's heavy body rammed into the Shadowmoon Wolf, forcing it to retreat continuously, its relentless advance carving deep trenches into the red sand.

Around the giant beast's body were individuals whose sharp blades at the ends of their limbs had been replaced by shovel-shaped flat organs.

Some crawled on the remains of giant trees, clearing away the debris as quickly as ants.

Others waved their forelimbs and pulled clumps of white substance from the silk-spinning organs at the end of the giant body's abdomen. Holding the solidified fibrous material, they mixed it with the remains of the giant tree and planted their thorny roots into the base of the giant tree.

A pearly white figure suddenly darted into the gray building creatures. He brandished a sharp blade, cleaving the shovel-shaped limbs in two, spraying out milky white, sticky mucus.

The slippery, viscous liquid blends into the red sand, quickly hardening and solidifying.

Shadowmoon Wolf strained its legs, trying to pull itself off the ground, but its boots and leg armor were stuck fast.

Another Shadowmoon Wolf swung its sword, shattering the constructed creature, and loudly reminded, "Loken."

The woven creature's heavy body spun, its four blades rotating and slicing towards Loken.

Loken leaned back and thrust his sword into his broad belly.

Stab it!

The woven creature's belly was cut open with a huge rift, and molten gel gushed out, covering its pearly white armor.

Loken strained his back, trying to straighten his body.

Ok?
He felt an unusual heaviness in his body; he strained with all his might, but could only bend his neck about twenty degrees. A line of text appeared on the tactical interface: [Unknown substance adheres to armor; incapacitated.]

"Loken!"

Vespa's voice rang out again, his tone increasingly anxious.

Click!

Loken twisted his neck with all his might, but before he could turn it more than five degrees, a huge shadow covered his body, and the blade's limbs slashed down toward his neck.

boom!
Loken's eyes narrowed, and the enormous spider monster flew out.

boom!
Black combat boots slammed to the ground, sending red sand flying.

Crack!

A blinding ray of light grazed the corner of his eye.

Click click...

Having survived the ordeal, Loken twisted his neck and writhed like a puppet as he looked around.

The massive black armor is the prototype of the Saturn-shaped Terminator.

Blue light, a powerful punch being thrown.

The shadow of order!

How is that possible?

I'm still fighting in the Southern Hemisphere!
Loken glanced at the tactical interface; after destroying the alien thorn tree, the oracle and communication array were quickly returning to normal.

[Category 6-4-9 in the Southern Hemisphere, 613.73 kilometers from the equator.]

When will the shadow of order cross the equator and penetrate into our war zone in the Southern Hemisphere?
As Loken pondered, lines of data streamed up one after another.

【3时28分，泰保特·玛尔的第十八连，于南半球9-4-2区遭遇“秩序阴影”第一战团的第一连。他们击落28个飞行种，拔起3株棘树后离开。

8时19分，列夫·格申的第二十五连，于南半球8-1-5区遭遇“秩序阴影”第一战团的第三连。他们击溃上千建造种后，拔起5株重新拼凑的棘树后离开。

11时37分，维汝兰·莫伊的第十九连，于南半球7-3-8区“秩序阴影”第一战团的第六连。他们击溃16个编织种的阵线后，拔起4株拼凑的棘树后离开。

...]

Loken quickly read through the tactical data from the mobilization and glanced at the timer.

14:49.

His mind, like his body, remained sluggish for three breaths.

How did the Shadow of Order manage to advance more than 600 kilometers in just over eleven hours?
witchcraft?]
"Loken!"

Vesper approached Locken, swung his sword to cut through the solidified gel, and rescued the trapped company commander.

Loken stared at the shadowy figure of Order carrying the pieced-together thorn tree and hurrying away.

Their massive bodies moved faster through the red sand than those wearing Mark IV armor.

Loken identified the reinforcements' runes in the tactical channel, "Yasin, thank you for your rescue."

"You're welcome." Yasin continued on his way, leaving his allies behind, and continued hunting down the giant spider monsters and thorn trees that interested the Black Emperor.

At the same moment that Loken regrouped his troops, Horus Lupecal cleaved a thorn tree in two with his sword.

He examined the rapidly recovering tactical network, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

How is that possible?

The "Shadow of Order," with only three warbands and sixty to seventy thousand men, has actually managed to infiltrate the Southern Hemisphere, my war zone?
Horus's eyes darted around and he saw another message.

[In Zone 6-9-3, the canyon is full of conical trees, up to ten meters tall, which, like the thorn trees, are made of white gioni.]

The narrow body of water dyes the soil orange-yellow, a color completely different from the red sand composition of other areas.

The jet-black aliens, a completely new species of giant spider monster, faster and more ferocious than the gray flying species, repelled the Thirteenth Company's attack; both charges organized by Luke Seidri were repelled.

[That must be a strategically crucial point.] Horus thought to himself. The achievements of Sediri even surpassed those of the members of the Council of Four Kings, second only to Loken and Abaddon.

Horus's eyes gleamed, and he gave the order.

"Locate the nearest teleportation point at 6-9-3".

[This time, I will definitely behead Ninglu before he does.]
