Chapter 119: Hunting the Exodite Eldar (Part II) (Three updates, requesting monthly votes)

"Despicable monkeys! Avenge our kin!"

The Patriarch of the Exodite Eldar let out a beast-like roar; there were still two or three thousand Eldar scattered and fleeing in the surroundings, and they would not give up.

The monkeys must be killed.

The Exodite Eldar let out angry roars one after another, charging from all directions toward the Order Shadows, who were clad in black armor and bore the emblem of seven bright red arrows painted on their right shoulders.

The dinosaurs leaped high during their gallop, and a rain of arrows blanketed the warriors of the Seventh Regiment.

Sanchez raised his hand and fired a shot, the bolter round precisely blowing apart the head of an Exodite Eldar.

The engine of a bike ridden by an Order Shadow was struck by an arrow, causing it to spin and crash into another bike.

He was forced to leap off to avoid the attack.

An arrow shot over rapidly, easily piercing his Mark II Expedition-pattern power armor.

Sanchez sped along at high velocity, witnessing battle-brothers dying one after another under the Xenos' attacks.

He was not blinded by rage; he used his Bolter Pistol to blast the Exodite Eldar while calmly thinking, searching for the Order Shadows' advantage on the battlefield.

The eyes of the Order Shadow suddenly brightened; he keenly noticed that although the Exodite Eldar's weapons were powerful, they were inferior to bolter weapons in range, and his own side possessed the advantage of high ground.

The Lord of the Seventh Regiment immediately issued orders on the squad channel.

"Maneuver, utilize range advantage, fire coverage, strike the enemy."

The Order Shadows immediately executed the Chapter Master's order; they circled rapidly around the Exodite Eldar while raising their guns, firing a rain of bullets into a single area in perfect unison.

The Exodite Eldar had long since released their wild nature in their primitive life; they lacked the strict discipline of the Astartes, and their combat formation was scattered.

The leader of the Exodite Eldar saw his kin falling in droves, their numerical advantage rapidly being lost.

As the most powerful Exodite Eldar Warrior of Triken, he knew he must kill the enemy commander; he had already locked onto his target.

He urged his dinosaur to accelerate, charging toward the opponent like an arrow.

The Patriarch of the Exodite Eldar rose, took small running steps on the dinosaur, leaped into the air, and jumped toward Sanchez.

The same thought flashed through the mind of the "Hunter."

Despite occupying the advantage, he was still losing subordinates.

As long as he hunted the enemy chieftain, the Xenos' morale would plummet.

Sanchez leaped, smashing his bike into the dense crowd of Exodite Eldar, going straight for his prey.

Relying on superhuman agility, the Exodite Eldar nocked arrows and fired rapidly in mid-air.

After becoming a "Hunter," Sanchez's strength, speed, reflexes, and ability to control his body had all been enhanced to varying degrees.

With a slight twist of his body, he dodged the arrow while flicking his hand to fire a bolter round.

The Order Shadow and the Exodite Eldar attacked each other in mid-air, simultaneously twisting their bodies to avoid the other's attack.

The Astartes' speed was inferior to the superhumanly agile Exodite Eldar; relying on keen perception, he forcibly twisted his body to dodge arrows several times just as they were about to strike his black armor.

A flash of astonishment crossed the eyes of the Exodite Eldar leader; he drew five arrows at once and fired them in a chain almost in an instant.

Sanchez twisted his body to the left, intending to dodge the first arrow.

The "Hunter" intuitively felt that the second arrow would strike the position he was moving toward.

The "Hunter" swung his sword violently, striking the arrow at the very last moment.

With a clang, the arrow fell to the ground.

The "Hunter" let his own intuition temporarily take over his body, and three lightning-fast arrows grazed past him.

Seeing the black-armored monkey dodge the finishing technique he had honed through hunting, and now only two meters away, the Patriarch of the Exodite Eldar threw his bow at his opponent while drawing his longsword.

Compared to those of his kin on the Craftworld, the longsword was not as luxurious, but its design was more elegant than that of human nobles, shimmering with water-like luster under the sunlight.

The leader of the Exodite Eldar swung his sword elegantly, aiming straight for Sanchez's legs.

A cold glint flashed in Sanchez's eyes; in that instant, he captured the angle and trajectory of the Xenos' sword swing from a perspective beyond the physical world, as if the Exodite Eldar's attack were in slow motion.

The Order Shadow swung his sword down according to Article 23 of "Osbohe-Waya."

Following the large-scale joining of Vostonia-descended personnel into the Eleventh Legion, the Way of "Osbohe-Waya" was also brought into each Chapter.

Among them, the one most favored by the Order Shadows was Article 23, which strikes at weaknesses; the "Hunters" were especially fond of this one.

Sanchez's sword strike was faster, swifter, and more precise than the Exodite Eldar's.

It was not that his burst speed in that instant exceeded the speed advantage possessed by the Eldar, but rather that the "Warp Insight" from his Gene-Father allowed him to anticipate the enemy, making his attack speed faster.

The most powerful Exodite Eldar of Triken no longer had time for any action; his pupils widened in astonishment bit by bit.

The chainsword roared, blood splattered, and the "Hunter" completed the hunt.

Just as the Seventh Chapter was luring the Exodite Eldar into a trap to conduct the hunt, Tierni also made progress above Dakesuosi A'erfa.

By kidnapping guards and serfs and using a Translator to interrogate them, he obtained intelligence.

There was a giant beast locally called the Blue Unicorn Rhino, which would attack human settlements every harvest season.

Among them were a small number of variants whose horns could release lightning.

There were even rarer ones with white horns, whose cries would cause dizziness from over a hundred meters away.

Tierni was not satisfied with verbal intelligence; he communicated with the Techmarine.

After the Order Shadows learned that he was executing a mission granted by the Gene-Father, they provided him with assistance.

This was an experimental model developed by Gabriel after leading a team to study the Yuejia'er's Arc Projectile Gun.

The Techmarine assessed that it could paralyze most giant beasts.

After obtaining the hunting tool, Tierni led his men into the forest.

After marching for five stellar days, his team found the target.

A group of light-blue rhinoceros-like creatures were drinking water by the river.

Besides the skin color, their horns were also thicker and longer than those of ordinary rhinoceroses.

Seeing several rhino beasts lift their heads, Tierni knew that the animals' keen intuition had allowed them to sense the approaching danger.

He immediately issued the order: "Attack!"

The fifty most excellent marksmen among the scouts had all undergone visual control organ enhancement.

The marksmen raised the Arc Hunting Guns in their hands and fired toward the herd of blue rhinoceroses.

Moo! Moo!

Several blue giant beasts, several times larger than ordinary rhinoceroses, ran angrily for over ten meters before collapsing powerlessly to the ground.

Tierni did not grow complacent because of the battle results; he noticed that the single horn of one giant beast was emitting a blinding flash of lightning.

The lightning tore through the forest, striking directly at the spot where several scouts were gathered.

Amidst the lightning Storm, one scout was immediately struck, blood spraying from his mouth and nose as he fell to the ground.

An angry Tierni also realized that this was an opportunity.

The intelligence he had obtained stated that the Blue Unicorn Rhino could not release lightning continuously.
