Chapter 235: Wheel of Fire Final Battle: The Luxurious Evil Moon Clan Ork Warlord (Seeking)

Two months after the campaign on Huolun Zhuxing began, the Second Chapter, having purged the fortress marked B, launched an immediate assault on the Ork fortress marked C without resting.

Knights of the Vickstrix Family fought in coordination with the Second Chapter.

After the Vickstrix Knights breached the Ork fortress, James wore his thick Mark I Thunder-pattern power armor.

This type of armor is becoming increasingly rare in the Legion, and the black color of the armor comes more from polished black than from spray paint.

Most of the unit markings and battle litanies covering it are no longer officially recognized by the Order Shadow.

A wolf-shaped emblem, etched in platinum on the cheek guard of his towering helmet, commemorates the days when he was still a Reaper serving under Lord Horus.

Although James has been promoted to Lord, he remains only a Knight in the Black Jazz Royal Court.

He craves more trust from his Gene-Father, and he views the Wheel of Fire as the best opportunity.

The Second Chapter was conscripted from the very beginning and has been the Chapter with the highest casualties in both void warfare and the assault on the Battle Moon.

But James believes it is not enough; he craves greater trust.

Killing the Ork Warlord and offering it to his father is the best way he can think of to prove himself.

On all other battlefronts, no Ork Warlord has been encountered, and James has a vague premonition that he is in this fortress.

The moment the Vickstrix Family knights breached the city wall, he could not wait to issue the order.

"Charge!"

Weiershier's highly infectious voice rang out: "Our honor depends on the slaughter of evil."

"I am Weiershier of the Order Shadow!"

"In this battle, we will carve our legend onto the body of every Xenos we kill. Are you willing to stand with me?"

By virtue of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to Lieutenant four months ago.

Because the Fourth Company Captain perished in the war against the Orks, he was promoted to Company Captain one month ago.

Except for the Vostonia and Cradle of the Sea cadres who followed the Primarch before his return, Weiershier is the fastest and youngest person in the entire history of the Eleventh Legion to become a Captain, Lieutenant, and Company Captain through the normal Order Shadow training mechanism.

Every Royal Court Member of the entire Second Chapter knows that the Gene-Father's evaluation of him exceeds that of most Company Captains, and even some Lords.

The only one who can barely keep up with his pace is Peier Koscielny of the Eleventh Chapter, but he only promoted to Company Lieutenant five days ago.

The "Singer" also shares the teachings he received from the Gene-Father when he was a member of the Honor Guard selflessly with every member of the Chapter during rest periods, not just the Warriors under his command.

The Thelema Mindset, "War Mask", "Warp Insight"...

This gives him prestige in the Second Chapter far exceeding that of First Captain Aimeilike, making him the de facto second-in-command of the Chapter.

The "Singer's" conviction not only infected the Fourth Company but also infected many Warriors of other companies, and they subconsciously let out a shout.

The "Singer" held his head high, and his singing voice, through the loudspeaker, brought power to the nine hundred and twenty-one Order Shadow of his company.

The Warriors of the Fourth Company, as if bathed in sunlight, followed their Company Captain onto the city wall.

Weiershier's singing grew more and more high-pitched, and he swung the Power Hammer in his hand.

He smashed the great hammer onto the head of an Ork, and he could feel the charging and release every time he killed an Ork.

Every time it struck, there was a moment when the charging field emitted a low roar, the collision of energy pulses with other matter.

The power of the Orks could not stop the power the "Singer" gained from his singing; he released his power with a sudden burst of kinetic energy, destroying the blasphemous Xenos.

Weiershier led his company, charging toward the Ork artillery on the city wall that was spewing black smoke.

Every time he swung his hammer, he would hammer to death an Ork Boy or several Gretchin.

Weiershier was unstoppable; he rushed to an Ork artillery piece, and he smashed his hammer onto the head of a Mekboy Boy, smashing his head into a puddle of mush.

He swung his hammer again, smashing it onto the artillery, and the Disruption Field smashed the Ork artillery into a pile of broken parts.

After the Fourth Company destroyed seven Ork artillery pieces in a row, a gap suddenly appeared in the firepower of the entire city wall, and the Third Company and Di 5 Rian seized the opportunity to storm the city wall.

Weiershier's gaze turned toward the interior of the city, looking at the Lord's battlefield.

He immediately saw the Chapter's fifty-two Dreadnoughts standing together with three times the number of equally tall steel monsters.

The harsh noise emitted by the steel monsters was also exceptionally piercing amidst the roar of the artillery.

Their long-barreled big shootas spat dense barrages at the Chapter's Dreadnoughts, sending sparks flying off the black armor.

They brandished crab-claw-like power claws, attempting to seize the Dreadnoughts that were larger, more agile, and better armored than them, and then use hissing chainswords to saw open the black armor.

Weiershier keenly noticed that they all had the Si-tou Clan's emblem on their backs, rather than the Evil Moon Clan markings of the surrounding Orks.

Weiershier immediately recalled what the Gene-Father had said before the battle.

【The Si Tou Clan Dajibas of Planet No. 2, the mechs he possesses are far smaller in scale than they should be.

The only ones with the power and wealth to buy those mechs are the Ork Warlords of the Wheel of Fire.】

He also identified them as Ork Deff Dreads through the data distributed by the Gene-Father.

【Deff Dreads are surprisingly similar to our Dreadnoughts; the pilot must be permanently connected to the machine through cybernetics.

Each selected Ork will have its spine and brain filled with tubes, neural probes, skull jacks, and other strange machines through surgery; this kind of "high-tech" product requires the cooperation of Mekboy Boys and Mad Docs to complete.

And unlike Killa Kans, their pilots are Orks. They are usually not as combat-effective as our Dreadnoughts, but they are much stronger than Killa Kans.

Moreover, each Deff Dread costs a high price of one hundred teef to buy, which is enough for an ordinary Ork to drink one hundred large mugs of Fungus beer.】

Weiershier intuitively felt the luxury of the Ork Warlord; the Deff Dreads alone were worth fifteen thousand teef.

The luxuriously crafted Deff Dreads were also worth it; they besieged the Second Chapter's Dreadnoughts with a numerical advantage.

Less than an hour into the skirmish, eight Dreadnoughts had already been lost, though they had made the Orks pay a price more than four times that.

Weiershier jumped off the city wall, thinking to himself.

【The Ork Warlord must be killed as soon as possible, so that those angry ones bound in the mechs will lose their restraint and fight on their own.】

James and Weiershier had the same thought; he had already locked onto the Boss Pole fluttering among the Deff Dreads.

James knew from the data distributed by the Gene-Father that every Ork Boss who was fierce enough, big enough, and loud enough would have his own Boss Pole.

The size of the Boss Pole and the trophies used as decoration on it could most intuitively reflect its owner's strength and status.

The Boss Pole James saw was covered with dozens of ornaments such as fangs and skulls.

James led the honor guard, charging into the melee of Dreadnoughts and rushing toward the direction of the boss's banner.
