Invisible shields enveloped their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The personal energy shield was one of the most important results from Gabriel's team's research into Rangdan technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They replaced Randan psychic modules with energy cells, letting the shields operate without psy-craftsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Shadow of Order version was weaker than Rangdan originals, the technology could be mass-produced, regular tech-artisans could manufacture them through standardized processes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Personal energy shields hadn't yet been fully equipped across the entire Legion. Only about one-quarter of the members in each Chapter were equipped; all members of the Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Honour Guard members, accompanying Nareth, were prioritized for equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they activated their personal energy shields, Hearthkyns raised their weapon, firing shimmering beams at the black-armored warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadows of Order raised their boltguns, engaging the Hearthkyns in a firefight. A hail of gunfire filled the space between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapons of both sides were manufactured based on similar STCs, though the ammunition types differed, but both could inflict lethal damage on the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hearthkyn discovered their fired beams stopped about a fist's distance from the black armor, then detonated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The personal energy shields acted like invisible walls, blocking the blast, constantly shimmering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt rounds fired by the Shadows of Order slammed into the Hearthkyn's heavy armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first volley of bolt rounds, with adamantine-hard tips, struck the heavy armor, causing the Hearthkynto stagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadows of Order realized a single boltgun attack couldn't breach the heavy armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The armor's defensive power is formidable.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They aimed at the same spots hit by the first strikes, firing second and third volleys of bolt rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Hearthkyn fell, his armor shredded by bolt rounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, Hearthkyn's fell. Their armor was forged from tough alloy smelted from ores mined in the galactic core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ironkin, encased in heavy mechanical armor, marched with heavy steps, swinging warhammers and mechanical claws to attack the Honour Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"Warrior\" from the 8th Chapter channeled psychic energy into his blade, swinging it diagonally left to parry a mechanical claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parrying, he swung his blade diagonally right to block an incoming warhammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of the blow made him step back involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was shocked by their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lunged. The blade tip slid along the Ironkin's steel carapace, piercing its brain housing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade crackled within its brain. He kept the tip there for a moment until confirming the lights within went out, and the enemy died, then withdrew the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hearthkyn emerged from beside the Ironkin, swinging a shimmering plasma axe at the \"Warrior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Catachan-born \"Hunter\" fiercely slammed into the Hearthkyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the body collision, the \"Hunter\" sensed formidable strength from the Hearthkyn's short, stout frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'These short folk are strong.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking quickly, he drove his Catachan Fang downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hearthkyn ducked, barely, but the curved fang slashed into his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hearthkyn's grizzled hair rapidly turned sallow. His face turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The venom of the Catachan viper spread through him in a heartbeat. In an instant, he dropped dead, slamming heavily onto the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth drew the Sword of Vaul, swinging the blad,e shimmering with blue-white light, charging into the Squat lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energized blade spun rapidly. Hearthkyn heads shattered one after another; Ironkin armor fragmented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth led the charge forward. Squat attacks struck his repaired armor, only to be deflected by the Iron Kraken-scale plating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He charged forward relentlessly. Nothing slowed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After charging through four decks, a red-faced, furious Hearthkyn with a beard reaching his chest, wearing layered armor, roared as he charged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Kâhl in Bastium armor thundered towards Nareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magnetic coils of his hearthguard emitted hums, their glow shining on the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" saw the enemy clad in heavy, ornate armor, he thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Squats forge heavy armor with extreme defensive strength, but that is also a weakness that can be exploited.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" pressed his left arm down. Spiritual energy surged forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Kâhl felt gravity abruptly increase. His body felt as heavy as if filled with lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inched forward at a snail's pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ironkin who had guarded the High Kâhl for half his life charged at Nareth, swinging massive hammers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth's eyes flickered with light and shadow. Telekinetic force surged forth, hurling the Ironkin away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their armored bodies slammed and scraped across the deck, sparks showering everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" raised his hand again. The High Kâhl suddenly felt the gravity applied to his body vanish. His body rapidly lightened, suddenly floating up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Kâhl desperately tried to maintain his balance. As a veteran miner who had once mined precious ores in the void, he instectively leaned his shoulders forward, using his body's inertia to descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body swayed in the air, as if drunk, lurching towards Nareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At just over ten meters away, Nareth suddenly punched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the gust of wind, the \"Baron of Corruption\" utilized his ability \"Force\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Kâhl was hurled away by the \"Force,\" flying back several meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" slammed his left arm downward again, and the High Kâhl crashed into the deck like a meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazed, he rose from the ground and continued charging at Nareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" applied \"Force\" to the heavy Bastium armor, increasing, decreasing, and changing the direction of the force, controlling the High Kâhl's body like a puppet, flinging him up, down, forward, back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how he tried, the High Kâhl couldn't reach the black-armored warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was being toyed with, his gray hair standing on end, his beard bristling in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veins bulged in his eyes from fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, he hurled his war axe at Nareth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" smiled slightly. 'Throwing, huh? I'm quite good at that too.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe's spinning trajectory became a rotating circle in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" sheathed the Sword of Vaul at his waist. He flicked the axe haft with his index finger, imbuing it with a \"Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe instantly reversed direction and accelerated, right back toward the High Kâhl\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe smashed into his armor, tearing through the overlapping plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade shredded his once-proud beard and split his chest open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy the story, my p@treon is 30 chapters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FDaoistJinzu\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.770Z",1,"novelbin.me","53d26304b90c51b9076435458e3ed61ba0c129de4d5dee0f4511bbd2084d4db8","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-386","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-384",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
