Chapter 237: Slaying the Ork Warlord (Please Subscribe)
As Ninglu charged into the Death Dreadnought, he sent a Mind Pulse to Black Wolf, simultaneously attaching the image of the Ork super-heavy armor with black background and yellow flames, as well as the Warlord banner behind him.
"Pull the Orks inside the Stompa into a dream."
Freddy immediately began using his extraordinary abilities; his subordinate John, who had made significant contributions when killing the Ork Warlord of Planet Four, had finally had his turn, and now it was Freddy's.
Freddy's eyes were deep and dark, and the area within one kilometer suddenly fell into darkness as the sound of chanting poetry arose.
"The Song of Peace ripples gently,
………
Humming a soothing lullaby.
……
Afraid to break the butterfly chrysalis sleeping in its swaddle,
Deep within the folds of eternal night,
All things are tranquil."
The surrounding Orks, even the furious Orks within the Dreadnoughts, felt their eyelids grow heavy.
The Order Shadows, however, were unaffected; as a Sequence 4 Mythical Creature, Black Wolf could precisely control the range and choose whom to influence.
The Ork Warlord Soriano felt his head grow dizzy, with whispers lingering in his ears.
Just as his eyelids felt heavy, the roars of Gork and Mork rang in Soriano's ears.
"Waaagh!"
Green mist rose in Soriano's mind, and the whispers sounded like the annoying, incessant chatter of a Grot.
Soriano's fierce red eyes snapped open, dancing with green lightning, his hair standing on end as he let out an angry roar.
"Waaagh!"
The Orks in the dozens of Death Dreadnoughts near the Ork Warlord were startled awake by the roar and shouted along.
"Waaagh!"
More and more Death Dreadnoughts woke from their dreams, and the surging Bad Moon Boyz joined the ocean of shouting.
Freddy felt a trace of disdain flickering in the confused eyes of his subordinate John, and feeling his own dignity challenged, he immediately decided to enter his Mythical Creature Form.
Black mist rose, and eternal darkness swallowed the green tide.
Two pairs of walking legs instantly sprouted from Black Wolf's abdomen, the surging power lifting its body as eight legs tore through the sky, stepping up ripples.
Bang, bang, bang!
Dozens of Ork Death Dreadnoughts and the Dreadnoughts of the Second Chapter collapsed to the ground in a faint.
Freddy could not control his Mythical Creature Form, and the dissipated power caused both friend and foe to fall into a coma.
"Singer" Weiershier's body swayed; he ascended to the Thelemic First Layer and chanted aloud.
He did not fall asleep, but black-armored warriors kept falling behind him.
Weiershier's gaze was deep as he activated "Warp Insight," his eyes piercing through the black fog, striving to look at the eight-legged Black Wolf in the sky.
【That is the Gene-Father's pet; he has four more legs than usual.
His hypnosis is far more terrifying than the Legion's Mind-type psykers!】
Weiershier's gaze shifted downward, searching for the Gene-Father's figure.
He saw Primarch Attendant Arsena Dunn holding his staff high.
Having ascended to the Thelemic Second Layer, Arsena exerted himself to swing the psionic staff in his hand, which was engraved with three Fire Dragon Runes.
As he channeled Warp energy, he felt the energy he gathered was double that of the past.
The silver-haired psyker only swung the psionic staff violently when he felt he could no longer control the massive power.
The psionic crystal at the head of the staff shone brilliantly, and a fire dragon several meters wide swept toward the Death Dreadnought blocking the front of the Flame.
Several Death Dreadnoughts were swallowed by the fire, liquefying into molten iron within seconds and spilling onto the ground.
Arsena's forehead was covered in sweat; he laboriously retracted his staff and looked ahead.
He saw a figure in black armor flashing in front of the Ork's black-background, yellow-flame super-heavy armor.
Soriano roared in anger, the green mist in his brain rising to contend with the black mist.
The mechanical claw of the Flame was raised high, slashing toward Ninglu.
Ninglu was faster than him; he seized the opportunity created for him by Freddy's Mythical Creature Form.
The Sword of Vaul struck like lightning, piercing through the gap between the Dreadnought wreckage and the original steel body of the Stompa.
The fragile connection was pierced, and the blue-white Disruption Field tore apart a large piece of armor.
The Sword of Vaul stabbed into Soriano's abdomen, and the wound that had just stopped bleeding burst open.
Ninglu raised his left arm, the Hand of Order blocking the mechanical claw, then backhanded the claw and pulled hard.
The Flame was pulled forward by the Primarch's immense strength, and the Sword of Vaul swung again, slicing across Soriano's neck.
The Primarch's precise control allowed the energy field to destroy only Soriano's throat, preserving his full set of teeth and the Warlord banner he carried on his back.
In Ninglu's Spirit Vision, they all shimmered with spiritual radiance.
Seeing Ninglu slay the Ork Warlord, Freddy, nearing his limit, immediately ended his Mythical Creature Form and landed on the ground.
Returning to his four-legged form, Black Wolf held its head high, casting a glance at the cat.
The Order Shadows of the Second Chapter, having recovered from their slumber, witnessed the Gene-Father slay the Ork Warlord to avenge their lord and let out deafening cheers.
Together with the Honor Guard that had just arrived, they launched a swift offensive against the remaining Orks.
The Orks, meanwhile, suffered a massive drop in morale due to the death of their Warlord.
They immediately fell into a chaotic state of fighting for themselves, and some, more cunning than the other Orks, turned and ran.
Ninglu sheathed the Sword of Vaul at his waist and picked up the Ork Warlord's head.
The Primarch Attendant withdrew from the Thelema Mindset, walked to his side, and took down the stasis box he was carrying.
Ninglu placed the Orc's head into the stasis box, and the Primarch Attendant pressed the Runic Rune, activating the stasis field.
Ninglu picked up the Warlord's banner again; in his Spirit Vision, the three heads of his offspring hanging on it did not flicker with the radiance of Spirituality, and they were not a single entity with the Warlord's banner.
A trace of sorrow and anger appeared in his eyes; the Xenos had actually used the corpses of his offspring as war trophies.
He gently removed the three heads and handed them, along with the Warlord's banner, to a member of the Honor Guard.
"Bury them, and send the Warlord's banner to my trophy vault."
Ninglu drew the Sword of Vaul again, put on the "War Mask," and vented his sorrow and anger upon the Death Dreadnoughts.
The Orc Dreadnoughts were destroyed one by one by the berserk Primarch.
After slaying fourteen Death Dreadnoughts in a row, Ninglu's rage subsided slightly, and he could no longer see any Death Dreadnoughts within his line of sight.
Ninglu removed the "War Mask," his Spirituality having been triggered.
He walked up to a Thunder Hammer; it was held firmly by a severed arm.
All around were scattered armor fragments and broken corpses.
This Thunder Hammer was no different from the other components, except that it was pitch black all over.
Weiershier came to his side and said in a sorrowful tone.
"That belonged to Lord James; he almost killed the Ork Warlord."
Ninglu glanced at James's broken body again, and sorrow once more appeared in his eyes.
He consoled himself: 【A damaged corpse is still better than being impaled on a banner for humiliation.】
He nodded slightly and thought to himself.
【There are no Beyonder characteristics nearby; the Beyonder characteristic of the "Lawyer" has fused with the Thunder Hammer, turning it into a magical weapon containing extraordinary power.】
Considering the significance of the Thunder Hammer to the Second Chapter, and remembering that Weiershier was a Beyonder of the "Sun" pathway, Ninglu said.
"I entrust this Thunder Hammer to you; it will have one or two more abilities than an ordinary weapon."
"If you cannot discover them yourself, ask the Master of the Forge when you see him."
An "Appraiser" can identify Beyonder weapons.
Weiershier received the Thunder Hammer with both hands, "I will certainly use it well and will not disgrace the honor of Lord James."
Ninglu nodded, and he said in a deep voice.
"You shall, of course, inherit James's honor; from this day forth, you are the Lord of the Second Chapter."
Ninglu thought of how the "Sun" pathway's Sequence 8 "Light Supplicant," Sequence 5 "Priest of Light," and Sequence 2 "Miracle Invoker" all contained elements of light, so he said.
"Your title is Lord of Light."
Weiershier did not decline, and he said confidently.
"Father, I will certainly not let you down."
Weiershier became the youngest and fastest to become a Lord among the Order Shadows trained within the Eleventh Legion's normal system.
Two hours later, Leman Russ and Hannibal were simultaneously informed that the Ork Warlord had been slain by Ninglu.
