Chapter 206: Fire Wheel

Sanchez immediately noticed the pitch-black giant, and the data issued by the Gene-Father surfaced in his mind.

Warboss.

The "Pyromaniac" immediately leaped off his Jetbike, his right hand raised, and fireballs began to condense one by one.

With a flick of his hand, the fireballs shot toward Silva.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fur Silva wore had long since burned to ash during the Promethium explosion, and the fireballs all slammed into his body, blasting chunks of flesh to shreds.

Sanchez's eyes turned deep and dark; he raised his Bolter Pistol with his left hand and fired at the Warboss.

Through his "Warp Vision," he caught the Ork's weak points, and every bolter round inflicted damage on the thick-skinned Warboss.

【So painful!】

Silva roared in anger; he felt his body growing heavier and heavier, his charging speed slowing down more and more.

Just as the Warboss's body grew heavier, a shrill cry suddenly rang in his ears.

"Boss!"

Silva recognized it as the cry of the Weirdboy; he felt power surging within his body, and the voices of the Gork and Mork gods echoed in his ears.

"Waaagh!"

The Warboss suddenly lunged forward at high speed, charging toward Sanchez.

The Weirdboy leaped out from the sea of fire, and after using "Get Stuck In" on the boss, he turned his head and let out a thunderous roar at the black-armored human who was attacking the boss.

Crackling green mist shot toward Silva.

The "Pyromaniac" stomped his right foot heavily, mobilized his spirituality, and raised a "Burning Wall."

The spirituality rapidly condensed into two fire snakes, which lunged toward the Warboss and the Weirdboy respectively.

A wall of raging fire was cast around the "Pyromaniac," and the stream of green energy released by the Weirdboy collided with it, emitting a blasting sound.

After crackling and popping for a moment, the green flames were swallowed by the wall of fire.

Before Marco could be shocked that his "Burn to Cinder" was ineffective, the fire snake had already pounced in front of him.

The Weirdboy scrambled and rolled in a panic, dodging the fire snake.

The other fire snake lashed out at Silva.

The Warboss ignored the pain in his body; he had eyes only for the black-armored human.

Silva slammed into the fire wall, ignored the pain, and raised his massive blade to hack down.

Sanchez's movements were faster; he raised his Bolter Pistol, pressed it against the Warboss's lower jaw, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Boom, boom, boom!

Bang, bang, bang!

Silva's head was blasted into a pulp, and his massive body collapsed powerlessly.

Marco rolled repeatedly before he could dodge the fire snake, and when he scrambled to his feet, he discovered in Shock that the boss was actually dead.

【How is it possible, the boss was the most Waaagh boss.

He was the most powerful Waaagh boss in this world.

He only lost once, only Warlord Soriano had defeated him.】

Marco glanced at the black-armored giant in terror and turned to run.

The "Pyromaniac" watched the Weirdboy flee and immediately mobilized his spirituality, rapidly condensing a flock of ravens around his body.

The "Pyromaniac" felt that after burning a large number of Orcs to death, his control over fire had become stronger, and he could condense more Fire Crows.

The "Pyromaniac" allocated a bit of spirituality to every Fire Crow.

After the Fire Crows left his body, Sanchez felt that his ability to manipulate them had also become increasingly proficient.

Sanchez discovered he could adjust the trajectory, allowing the Fire Crows to always aim and shoot at the Weirdboy.

Marco could constantly feel the scorching heat behind him, and the sound of heavy footsteps lingered in his ears.

The Weirdboy dodged left and right, but he could never shake them off.

Boom!

Marco was struck by one Fire Crow, and then struck by more.

As Sanchez used the "Fire Crow Art" to blast the Weirdboy to death, he felt trickles of fire surging within his body.

The other Order Shadows killed dozens of Snakebite Clan boys.

"Clean up the battlefield."

Sanchez issued the order, and the Order Shadows immediately took action, collecting equipment and items that might interest the Gene-Father.

Several squads of Order Shadows used Flamethrowers to incinerate the bodies of the Orcs.

After studying the data issued by the Primarch, the warriors of the Eleventh Legion all knew that the Orks, who exuded the foul stench of Fungus, reproduced through spores.

If the Orc corpses were not burned completely, more and stronger Orks would soon launch an attack on them.

The cleaner the sweep, the easier the future.

Sanchez pressed the Communication Bead in his ear and contacted the Void Hunter.

"Szczesny, Jorginho, the ambush tactic is effective against the Orcs of the Snakebite Clan."

"Order the Chapter to execute in the same manner and clear out the Orks."

The Reaper Lord then led his men and charged straight at the camp of the Snakebite Clan.

The resistance of the remaining Whipping Boys and Gretchin was quickly destroyed.

After controlling the camp, Sanchez discovered a large number of Squigs in cages; although they were not as large as the Squig mounts killed earlier, they were still much larger than ordinary ones.

The Order Shadows also discovered venomous creatures such as vipers and spiders within the camp.

The Reaper Lord knew from the data issued by the Primarch that the Orcs of the Snakebite Clan would let venomous snakes bite themselves, which was also the reason for their name.

They train their bodies in this way, thereby gaining a super-strong resistance to toxins.

What Sanchez is more concerned about is that perhaps the Primarch might be interested in trophies such as venomous snakes.

Thus, after the Reaper Lord organized the list of trophies, he sent it to the Primarch Attendant.

After controlling the Battle Moon, the Primarch Attendant returned to the Shadow of Sovereignty with the Primarch.

Ninglu sat on the Black Throne to listen to the casualty report.

"My Lord, the Legion lost a total of forty-one ships in the void battle."

"Eighty-six percent of them were destroyed by attacks from thousands of warships while launching boarding raids on the Battle Moon."

"Losses include two Capital Ships, thirteen Frigates, and twenty-seven Destroyers."

The Primarch did not care much; the Eleventh Legion is already capable of manufacturing most common types of ships.

The Wosituoniya Chuanchang has already been built and is capable of manufacturing Capital Ships.

Teriken I is taking initial shape, and its future construction capacity will be even better than the Wosituoniya Chuanchang.

Most crucially, Sepra Mundi is growing rapidly, and its future construction capacity is even expected to rival the shipyards of Mars.

Compared to ships, he is more concerned about personnel losses.

"The total number of Order Shadow who died in the void battle is one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two, with over two hundred and thirty thousand crew and servants."

"In the battle to capture the Battle Moon, a total of one thousand and nine died."

"Among them, seventeen members of the Honor Guard, five hundred and sixteen from the Second Chapter, two hundred and ninety-two from the Seventh Chapter, and one hundred and eighty-four from the Fifth and Eleventh Chapters that joined the battle later."

With a thought, Ninglu calculated that as of now, the Eleventh Legion has lost two thousand nine hundred and one men.

Sorrow immediately welled up in his eyes, and he thought silently.

【"Wheel of Fire" is a large-scale campaign, and losses are inevitable.

The "Space Wolves" campaigned for five years and lost one-third of their strength.

According to the Sixth Legion's numbers and their reinforcement speed, assuming no losses, their size should have approached sixty-nine thousand by the year 824.

Thus, the number of Space Wolves who died in the "Wheel of Fire" is about twenty-three thousand; by the lowest estimate, it should not be less than twenty thousand.】

Ninglu thought that since the Imperium has not yet encountered a Battle Moon, perhaps half of the "Space Wolves" losses in the original "Wheel of Fire" were caused by Battle Moons.

【This estimate is still based on the combat style of the "Space Wolves".

When the Space Wolves encounter a Battle Moon, they should charge straight at it, and this happens to be the way to minimize losses.

Thinking of it this way, the losses are still acceptable.】

Through rational analysis, the Primarch convinced himself to accept the heavy losses suffered by the Eleventh Legion.

While he was lost in thought, Arsena Dunn continued to speak.

"My Lord, the Reaper Lord used a baiting strategy against the Snakebite Clan on the Seventh Planet, losing only four men..."

"Very good," Ninglu was greatly pleased, "Transmit the battle report to the commanders of all levels."

"Tell them to make good use of the Orc data I released, find the weaknesses of the Orks, and conduct precision strikes."

After the Primarch Attendant recorded the order, he continued his report.

"My Lord, the Death Lord has sent a report that the situation on Necromunda has stabilized."

Ninglu thought silently.

【Sanchez's baiting method might not be able to deal with a larger, more cunning Snakebite Tribe, but it should be no problem to deal with the Orc tribe on the Seventh Planet.

The Prophecy Dice is also about to finish charging, and the conquest of Catachan should be put on the agenda.】

Thinking of this, he issued an order.

"Dispatch half of the forces from both the Fourth and Eighth Chapters to come here."

"Prepare the landing craft; I am going to the Seventh Planet to inspect the trophies."
