For Caliban!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clad in powerful experimental equipment not yet issued to other Legions besides the Salamanders and Shadows of Order, Luther charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slaves aimed lasguns at him. Dense beams lanced against his conversion field, crackling loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the numb human slaves rushing at him, Luther knew engaging them was pointless. The \"Barbarian\" suddenly accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His powerful physique granted him savage strength, allowing him to simply shove the surrounding slaves aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther felt his psychic energy grow more lively. Power constantly surged within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran a little faster, as if back in the forests of Caliban.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran faster and faster, outpacing even his power-armored followers, crashing through the enemy lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther saw a xenos resembling an upright tiger roar at him in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their unified roar shook the ground slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Barbarian\" stomped his right foot heavily, unleashing a deafening \"Savage Howl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred xenos immediately ceased their roaring, shaking their heads, trying to clear themselves from the dizziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther raised his left arm. The flame cannon spat beams of thermal energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left arm swept across thirty degrees. Dozens of enemies were incinerated to ash by the molten stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther raised the power sword in his right hand. Unlike most Saturnine-pattern Terminator prototypes, as a Calibanite knight skilled in swordsmanship, his right arm was equipped with a melee weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chosen from Lord Nareth's private armory, the heavy power sword forged by Lord Vulkan blazed with dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire battlefield like a beacon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights, having broken through the slave army, saw their leader's radiant light and let out resounding war cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The xenos enslaving humanity merged with the forest beasts that had plagued Caliban for generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights marched forward in neat formation, ignoring the human slaves surging from behind and beside them, unleashing dense barrages at the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the roar of bolts, xenos after xenos was torn apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the human slaves could slow them down, the Calibanite knights drew their swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was their traditional weapon. One hundred thirty-five of his trusted followers drew power swords, leading the other three thousand knights wielding chainswords in a charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of motors filled the battlefield. A knight swung his blade, driving it up through a xenos' lower jaw, straight into the center of its skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his arm trembled, blood and flesh spattered against his black armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Overlord, at least a head taller than the other xenos, swung its blade-like claws down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The helmet was crushed and torn. With a dull thud, the Dark Angel's head burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He withdrew his arm. The Knight Commander's blue-white blade was already upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the crackle of its personal energy shield, the tiger-like Overlord swung both claws in a sweeping arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knight Commander continuously sidestepped, following a spiraling path practiced countless times since his days as a squire, appearing behind the Overlord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-wreathed blade slammed heavily into the Overlord's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights followed, chainswords roaring as they chopped at the Overlord's arms, chest, abdomen, and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Overlord swung its claws repeatedly, charging at the knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights calmly retreated, parrying with their chainswords, luring the Overlord forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knight Commander spiraled to the Overlord's right. His blade thrust forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a series of short, firecracker-like cracks, the personal energy shield overloaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knight Commander didn't linger. He sidestepped again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Overlord retreated, swinging its claws wide to force the knights back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Knight Commander was just right before the Overlord. His blade swept horizontally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disassembly field tore through flesh. The Overlord felt a chill in its abdomen. It looked down, just as its neck and chest slid apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther, with his followers, fought their way forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rediscovered the feeling of leading the knights, the feeling he'd had before the Lion appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was back at the center. He was the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a hero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther was in high spirits. The gloom was completely cast behind, along with the spattering blood and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was loud and clear, echoing in the vox channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights were infected. They had thought they would never win glory again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they threw off the reins that bound them and galloped across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a dam breaking, the knights' unleashed power mercilessly crushed the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The galloping knights only stopped when five four-meter-tall, silvery-white figures appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They suddenly felt their heads go numb. A rusty taste filled their throats. Their bodies felt bound by countless threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Barbarian's\" thoughts only stalled briefly before clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a deafening roar. The Cerabvores' silvery-white, bulbous heads wobbled. Fluid oozed from the red line running through their brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther charged forward. With a thought, the psychic shock unit responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laser cannons on his head and shoulders aimed at one Cerabvore. Blinding beams crackled, tearing through its personal energy shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame cannon spat a dragon of fire, incinerating the Cerabvore to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther reached a Cerabvore whose head had just stopped shaking. He swung the heavy power sword forged by Vulkan, striking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crack, the blade stopped before the Cerabvore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Barbarian's\" arm bulged. His strength suddenly surged. The blade shot forward, plunging into the Cerabvore's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Luther had killed two Cerabvores. He charged towards a third, then saw a bizarre construct emerge from a kilometer-tall silvery-white building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was roughly ovoid, covered in pale, fungus-like flesh, with purple veins and a metallic grid across its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It moved on three spider-like legs. The upper body, extending from the tripod, was a thick, short tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around its tooth-filled maw on top, a cluster of tentacles were symmetrically arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a second, a third...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five constructs crawled from the silvery-white building. They raised their tentacles. Built-in devices fired beams of necrotic energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beams struck power armor. The pus melted the black ceramite along with the Dark Angel inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther immediately recalled the constructs created by the Slaugth mentioned in Lord Nareth's briefing materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment's thought, he decided not to pay the heavy price of his knights' lives to win glory. He opened the comm channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, we have encountered the Slaugth's servant constructs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ending the communication, Luther immediately felt relieved by his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squad after squad of constructs, in groups of three to five, emerged from the silvery-white building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cerabvores, leading squads of xenos, charged from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther immediately ordered the knights to form a circular defense against the xenos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thousand knights formed two circles, creating a horizontal spiral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the familiar trajectory, the knights spiraled backwards. Wave after wave of xenos fell against their defensive line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther stood at the spiral's center, expanding to the edges of the two circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He single-handedly held off ten Cerabvores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his arm, blasting a molten stream to his left, while charging to his right, thrusting his sword at a Cerabvore heading for the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cerabvore turned and charged Luther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther didn't parry or counter. He immediately turned and charged another Cerabvore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his all-out defense, a knight still fell before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathered Cerabvores filled the battlefield with spreading neurotoxins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Barbarian's\" tenacious will was unaffected, but other Dark Angels, one by one, suddenly fell unconscious in the midst of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies festered. Pus oozed from their black armor as they crashed heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby knights immediately filled the gaps. The spiral line contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther donned his War Mask. His heart pumped powerfully. Adrenaline surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each fallen follower granted him greater power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Saturnine-pattern Terminator prototype on his body felt lighter and lighter. His movements grew faster and faster. The glowing blue blade traced arc after arc through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Barbarian\" angrily slammed into one Cerabvore, simultaneously swinging his blade, shredding another's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knights saw their leader as if multiplied into countless forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alone, he besieged the Cerabvores, launching fierce attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dazzling swordsmanship was breathtaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue light, like a storm, swept over the Cerabvores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM BOOM BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Cerabvores crashed to the ground in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luther's outbreak immediately drew the constructs' attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green rays lanced towards him from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a series of cracks, a warning rune for conversion field failure lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a shadow blocked his vision\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>",1470,"2026-06-06T05:05:27.510Z",1,"novelbin.me","59f5dc587a9187d1259dfb453e2272ac67c4acc9043bb9f1a0dbaa8280e1a217","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-543","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-541",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
