Chapter 285: Relic Thunder Hammer
Wen te bo en knew that the Xenos were the "switch" enslaving the psykers to attack, and he shouted loudly: "Attack the Xenos!"
He raised his hand to fire bolter rounds at the Andresians while chanting loudly.
The voice of the "Singer" brought strength to the Order Shadows, making them faster and allowing them to charge forward rapidly.
Bolters roared, the Andresians were torn to shreds, and the attacks from the psychic weapons gradually ceased.
The "Singer" discovered that as his singing continued, the attack speed and intensity of the psykers also began to decline.
【The Andresians use pain to force the psykers to launch attacks; has my singing soothed their pain?】
After Wen te bo en realized this, his hoarse singing became even louder.
After the Second Company Warriors killed the Andresians operating the war machine, the Order Shadows watched the "humanoid weapons" tied to the war machine with vigilance.
Having suffered immense torture, their emotions were visibly and extremely unstable; they were like ticking time bombs.
The Second Company Captain said to the Librarian: "These psykers are yours."
After the Lexicanum received the order, his expression turned grave; fortunately, he was a Mind-type psyker and could at least calm them down temporarily through communication.
Wen te bo en led his men to break into the building from which the disc vehicle had emerged, and after routing the guards, he discovered that this building was a weapons factory.
The Andresians used ordinary humans to manufacture psykers.
In the center of the factory was a pool nearly one hundred meters in diameter, from which a strange odor wafted.
Wen te bo en saw colorful mushrooms and black crystals inside...
Over a dozen people were submerged in the pool; most of them were ordinary people, and only one possessed a faint psychic talent.
The other modules of the factory manufactured discs and other accessories, finally adding the psykers to create war weapons.
After Ninglu received Wen te bo en's report, he understood that the Andresians were manufacturing psykers.
Besides naturally awakened psykers, there are many ways to artificially create them.
In Ninglu's memory, Hemar, the ruler of Necromunda, and other families used ghost-agents to create psychic mutations.
As he pondered, the Primarch Attendant spoke to report.
"My Lord, the Lord of Light has launched an offensive on marker point B-I; he has confirmed that there are clusters of palaces in that area."
"According to projections, that area should be the aristocratic residential district."
In the Andresian underground palace complex, countless elite guards blocked the Second Company's offensive.
Weiershier discovered that the Andresian guards' elbows had been severed, with energy weapons replacing their forearms, and crab-claw-shaped blades acting like their joints.
Compared to ordinary Warriors, their attacks were swifter.
The "Singer" sang loudly, his highly infectious singing filling the bodies of the surrounding Order Shadows with strength.
With the "Singer" as the core, the Order Shadows charged toward the Xenos.
A member of the guard on the left brandished a Charged Blade and struck with all his might, the Disruption Field shredding the enemy's chest.
The enemy lunged forward; he swung his blade to meet it, twisting his body to the right, and sliced the enemy in two along the boundary between the humanoid upper body and the scorpion-like lower body.
After killing over a dozen Andresian guards in a row, he drew the attention of three enemies.
The three guards launched an attack on him simultaneously.
Clang! Clang!
The Order Shadow's Charged Blade parried the crab-claw blades of the enemies on the left and right.
But the enemy who had deliberately lagged half a step behind seized the opportunity to launch a vicious attack, its scorpion tail shooting forward to pierce his chest.
Weiershier witnessed the death of the guard member and donned his "War Mask."
Fury turned into strength; the Thunder Hammer in Weiershier's hand erupted with destructive power, and five Andresian guards were blasted into a mist of blood.
Weiershier controlled the power of the "War Mask" with practiced ease, while his mind remained calm.
He discovered that within four minutes of the battle starting, the Andresian guards had caused two deaths in his guard unit.
The "Singer" chanted loudly to amplify the combat power of his warriors while calmly observing the enemies' movements, attempting to discover their weaknesses.
In the midst of his singing, the "Singer" felt his Spirituality become more vibrant.
The Thunder Hammer held in his right hand suddenly vibrated, and Weiershier's eyes flashed.
He suddenly discovered that the palace area was dimmer than other Andresian buildings.
The bright lamps were wrapped in heavy shades, seemingly deliberately maintaining a faint light.
He saw that whenever the blue Disruption Field flashed, the Andresians opposite would always have their eyes flicker.
【They have lived underground for a long time and have adapted to a low-light environment.
Bright light causes them discomfort!】
When Weiershier realized this, he observed them again with intent.
He discovered that as the attack progressed, the Andresian attendants gradually formed an inverted triangular attack formation with two in front and one behind.
Two enemies would engage, and the third would sneak an attack to secure victory.
This was not only to win, but also because the attendant in the rear could better overcome their own weakness by avoiding the light of the field.
Weiershier did not order light to be created; he was a "Light-Praying Man," creating light to purify the filthy Xenos dwelling.
In the two eyes of the "Light-Praying Man," a point of golden light expanded in each, turning into two miniature suns.
The "Light-Praying Man" took in everything around him at a glance, his brain mapping out the route.
He then raised his right arm and threw the Thunder Hammer.
Blue light flashed, and over a dozen Andresian guards in front were torn to shreds by the Disruption Field.
The pupils of the "Light-Praying Man" contracted sharply; he clasped his hands together and placed them at his chin, as if in prayer.
Light flashed in the dim underground, and the entire area instantly became bright.
Pure beams of light wreathed in flames descended, and the Andresian guards charging in the two-front-one-back formation were engulfed by the flames.
The pure beams of "Purification" illuminated the entire area.
The Andres guards felt a stinging pain in their eyes; they could not see anything around them, only the loathsome light.
Like a swarm of Hive City rats that could not bear the light, they fled in panic in every direction.
"Attack!" Weiershier reached out to grab the Thunder Hammer and shouted the order.
The Order Shadows charged forward, and the Andres guards, who had been able to contend with them just moments ago, were instantly routed.
Under the illumination of the light, they could not see their enemies, and their weak, powerless limbs felt as frail as if they had suffered a great illness.
The Order Shadows crushed the enemy's battle lines as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Weiershier held the Thunder Hammer, smashing the Xenos into cloud after cloud of blood mist.
A realization dawned in his heart: 【Lord James's relic can enhance the wielder's ability to discover an enemy's weaknesses.
I remember he obtained the power bestowed by his father; he is the "Lawyer".】
When the Second Chapter achieved a breakthrough in the noble palace district, Ninglu led his team to launch an attack.
Wearing a crown, King Andres waved his scepter, and ten thousand elite guards, accompanied by thousands of war machines that enslaved psychics, launched an attack on the Honor Guard.
