Chapter 266: How is his killing efficiency even higher than Abaddon's?

In the Medusa Mountains, the caravan of the Solagu Clan came to a halt.

Although they had held the advantage in the brief, intense firefight against the Avini Clan earlier, losing only five clansmen, they had lost most of their Yaruk Mountain.

The warriors of the Solagu Clan formed neat ranks and, led by Amadeus Ducaine, advanced into the mountains.

Ducaine asked Gabriel, who was wearing black armor beside him, "What is the distance to Adams's locator rune?"

Gabriel checked the information marked by the rune on his helmet's eyepiece and said, "5.1 kilometers."

Gabriel led the way, and the Solagu Clan party moved forward.

When they were 1.4 kilometers from the rune-marked location, two squads of Order Shadow wearing black armor appeared before the party.

The Order Shadow of the Fourth Legion, with green skulls painted on their right pauldrons, saluted Gabriel and Ducaine.

A Royal Court monk spoke: "Lord Gabriel, Lord Ducaine, I have been ordered to guard the entrance to the ruins and ensure the safety of the retreat route."

Ducaine looked at the cold-faced squad leader and said with a smile.

"Relax, there are no ghosts here."

The "Gravedigger" paused for a moment, "Sir, my apologies, but there are ghosts in this mine."

Ducaine's scar-covered face looked exceptionally serious: "I didn't see any."

Before the "Gravedigger" could speak, a hint of nervousness appeared on his cold face; the name of the Storm General was thunderous to the ear.

Gabriel spoke: "Relax, Ducaine is just joking with you."

He was the first to walk into the mine entrance: "Ducaine, there isn't much time left; the Iron Moon is about to begin."

"That's right," Ducaine shouted to his warriors, "Boys, move out, exploration formation!"

The mine was a narrow area, not suitable for the "Storm and Hammer" tactics he had pioneered and which were famous among the Legions of the Imperium.

The party quickly formed into ranks, with the Tenth Legion warriors who had not yet obtained Solagu markings in the center; they served as the backbone of the line, drawing fire and providing fire support.

On the two flanks were the Solagu Clan warriors, responsible for covering the sides of the Astartes.

As always, Ducaine held a Power Axe in his left hand and a bolter in his right, stepping into the mine first.

Ducaine strode through the mine tunnel, and soon his line of sight caught scattered severed limbs and weapons like pickaxes on the ground.

After walking down two sloping passages, the view ahead opened up, and he saw black-armored warriors fighting shambling flesh monsters in a large underground mineral processing plant.

The flesh monsters shambled along, bumping into a furnace several meters high, actually knocking the furnace over.

The bloated bodies of the flesh monsters possessed immense strength.

"Attack!"

Ducaine raised his bolter and fired at the monsters.

The diamond-tipped rounds struck the mountain-like flesh monster, splashing large amounts of rotting flesh, but the monster did not fall.

The monster seemed to be a collection of parts from dozens or hundreds of corpses stitched together; it had twenty-four arms, waving entrenching tools, pickaxes, and even automatic weapons that could not fire bullets.

Ducaine continued to fire at the monster, which was as tall as a Dreadnought; after emptying a magazine, he shattered the rotting monster.

At the same time, he figured out the weakness of the flesh monsters and shouted to the Solagu Clan warriors.

"The monsters are pieced together from corpses; they are bloated and slow."

"Observe carefully, find the connection points of the corpses, and strike!"

The warriors of the Tenth Legion searched for the connection points of the flesh monsters and launched precision strikes.

The Solagu Clan warriors took the initiative to attack when the flesh monsters approached, luring them in and using their speed advantage to maneuver around them.

Ducaine pressed a Runic Rune and charged into the swarm of flesh monsters.

The Charged Axe Blade hacked into a flesh monster; after a dozen fierce slashes, the blue light of the Disruption Field bit into the rotting body like electric snakes.

As if melting, the flesh monster's body rotted and scattered all over the ground.

Ducaine broke into the monster swarm, and after killing a dozen monsters in a row, his pupils suddenly constricted.

He saw Adams swing his sword and kill a tall flesh monster.

Ducaine's gaze followed Adams closely, and he discovered that this Death Lord's killing speed was incredibly fast.

With every single attack, he could kill a flesh monster.

【This... how is this possible.

I have fought side by side with many Legions; in terms of personal martial prowess, my former attendant, now First Captain of the Luna Wolves, Ezekyle Abaddon, is the strongest.

Even he cannot kill a flesh monster with a single attack; how does Adams do it?】

Ducaine then discovered that, besides Adams, there were actually a dozen other Order Shadow who could kill a flesh monster in three or five attacks.

Their killing efficiency was even higher than his own.

Ducaine's eyes flickered; he did not roar in anger, but merely observed coldly.

He discovered that these highly efficient Order Shadow hit the limb connection points of the flesh monsters precisely with every attack, and specifically the fragile connection points.

【Is it because of the keen perception of the Order Shadow?

But the perception of Adams and the others is clearly stronger than the others.】

The "Gravediggers" felt the battle was exceptionally easy; although the flesh monsters were massive, their "Death Eye" could discern their weaknesses from a higher level.

After the battle ended, Ducaine walked up to Adams.

"Adams, this is my first time fighting side by side with you; you and your warriors have left a deep impression on me."

"I am just good at dealing with these undead." Adams's expression was cold and stern, without a ripple.

As the two were speaking, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook.

Ducaine's expression changed abruptly, "The Iron Moon!"

He opened his communicator and shouted loudly: "Caravan, take cover."

The annual gravitational disaster of the Medusan people was erupting globally.

Every year during the lunar eclipse, the satellite of Medusa would resonate with the gravity of the star Sthenelo, creating a terrifying gravitational disaster far exceeding normal tidal forces.

The greedy Adeptus Mechanicus ship flew toward a ruin.

At a distance of one thousand meters from the ground, the ship was enveloped by blinding lightning.

The super thunderstorm blasted the ship into fragments in an instant, scattering them across the land.

Ten thousand meters away, a high mountain rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same moment, several thousand-meter-high mountains sank into the ground.

The reckless Adeptus Mechanicus Transport Ship, in pursuit of efficiency, ignored warnings and was flying toward the Felgaze Mountains; they were ordered to support the construction of statues of the Patriarchs of the Ten Great War Clans within the mountains.

The super Storm engulfed the Transport Ship; it was like a helpless bird in a gale, tossed to and fro.

Accompanied by the screams of the Tech-Priest, the Transport Ship was torn apart ten thousand meters in the air, its shattered hull swept away by the wind.

The Felgaze Mountains on the ground were one of the few areas on Medusa unaffected in the slightest.

This was not natural, but the result of careful design; a super-massive Stasis Field Generator from the "Dark Age of Technology" generated a powerful field covering the entire mountain range.

The Iron Hands Techmarine building the statues continued to work coldly, ignoring the young people from small clans flooding into the mountains.

They engaged in brutal combat, hoping to attract the gaze of the Iron Hands and gain the opportunity to serve the Gorgon.

The Iron Moon made the surface of Medusa change its appearance drastically; a hundred high mountains were generated, and another hundred high mountains disappeared.

The ruin that Adams discovered only vibrated for a few hours before calming down.

The next day, Gabriel walked out of the ruin and looked into the distance; he discovered that a high mountain he had passed on his way there had already disappeared.

【The terrifying power of nature; compared to the Death caused by disasters, the infighting of the Medusan is not worth mentioning.

The "Iron Hands" are building monasteries for each clan; future Medusan youth will surely give their all to become Iron Hands and obtain protection.】

As Gabriel pondered, his communicator beeped, and intermittent communication sounds rang out.

"Signal unclear, repeat!"

He shouted to the Sound Array Master, and just then, Dukaien walked to his side.

"It is an order from the Gorgon, ordering me and you to head to the galaxy adjacent to Vostonia to jointly resist the Xenos Fulao."

After he finished conveying the order, he added: "The ships of the Iron Hands are prepared for signal anomalies."

"The design of Lord Ferrus Manus."

"You are welcome to board my ship and travel together."

Dukaien looked at Adams, who had walked out, and continued: "It is a pity that Lord Ninglu did not summon his Fourth Legion."

"I am disappointed that I could not fight side by side with you."

The Death Lord's expression was indifferent, a flash of disappointment passing through his eyes.

"There will be opportunities."
