Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 148 Orcs are so delicious

Erlin, the second captain of the Faceless Men, walked up to Joffre, who was wearing black armor, and started chatting with him on the expected topic.

"Joffre, I learned from the captain of the supply ship that Lord Nimrod was warmly welcomed in Terra."

The adjutant of the 10th Regiment has become accustomed to the Faceless Men's habit of chatting after battle.

They were relatively quiet before and during the battle, and the orders in the command channel were also very concise. Only after the battle did they start to talk more.

They like to chat with the Shadows of Order at this time.

"Yes, Lord Nimrod enjoyed the same cheers on Terra as Lord Horus..."

Joffre straightened his chest, smiled, and said proudly.

Just as the Faceless Men and the Shadows of Order were chatting happily, Captain Suarez squatted beside the corpse of the orc boss he had killed and cut off his thick arm with a chainsaw sword.

He looked back, then lowered his head as if examining the body of an enemy, then opened his mouth, revealing the same distinctive sharp teeth as the Faceless Man, and bit the orc's arm.

Suarez's pupils dilated slightly and his eyebrows twitched the moment he bit.

too delicious!

The tip of the tongue feels the salty and fresh taste of ham, while the tips of the teeth sink into the crispy and tender taste of mushrooms.

The meat fibers stretch out layer by layer like silk melted by the spring breeze, and suddenly emerald veins bloom among the texture. The sweet juice breaks through the crispy shell, like dew rolling over the morning pine needles.

A soft sigh escaped from his throat, lingering in the air, as if his escape was cut off by the sudden sweetness.

At the same time, the other Faceless Men also showed expressions of enjoyment. Before they tasted the orc's arm for the first time, they were still worried that the dirty and thick arm mixed with strange and smelly blood would be very unpalatable.

But they now discovered that the more powerful the alien, the tastier it was.

This is the Faceless Man's talent.

Suarez opened his mouth wide and quickly swallowed one of the orc's arms into his stomach, smacking his lips in satisfaction.

The captain of the "Faceless" company swallowed the two arms of the orc into his stomach, just like eating strips of ham wrapped in fresh mushrooms.

He felt that his body, which had been tired from the fierce battle, was now full of strength.

Suarez waved his arms vigorously, trying to distinguish carefully.

[Well, my strength hasn't increased yet, and I haven't eaten enough.]
After several attempts at eating, the Faceless Men have summed up a pattern. They usually need to eat enough to get the reinforcement they want.

Moreover, the stronger the Faceless Man is before eating, the more he needs to eat to strengthen himself.

It wasn't enough to eat now, but he was too full to eat any more.

Suarez took a longing look at the fresh meat on the ground, walked towards Joffre who was talking, and asked the topic he had prepared.

"Your two regiments are also moving in this direction."

"According to the orders of the Gene-Father, they are searching for a lost colony."

Joffre frowned slightly, his black eyes sweeping across Suarez's abdomen imperceptibly.

The Shadow of Order keenly sensed that there was a slight bulge there, and he had a familiar feeling.

After the war, a company commander came to talk to him, and after a while another one came.

Whenever the company commander appeared later, he always looked like he was full.

[Special nutrition pack for the "Faceless"?]
Qiao Fuer was secretly guessing in his heart, and he also noticed that, as before, the company commander who talked to him first would leave quietly.

While the Shadow of Order was thinking, the captain of the Faceless Company asked.

"What was the result? Is there anything the Faceless Men need to do?"

Suarez asked. The soldiers of the Second Legion felt more comfortable being transferred to serve Nimrod than hiding carefully under Horus. They hoped this situation would continue.

"The Third Chapter discovered Sepra Mundi. This is another major discovery following their discovery of the Daxos Twin System."

"The Dark Lord seems to be very good at exploration." A smile appeared on Joffre's face. He heard that it was a planet with great development potential. Not only did it have the same industrial base as Vostronia, but it was also the intersection of many warp routes and there were several stable Mandeville points around it.

"That's great news," the Faceless Man said with a smile, then said, "Our Techmarine captured some round monsters with sharp teeth."

"They seem to be creatures raised by the orcs. Perhaps the Primarch would like this kind of creature."

"Oh?"

Joffre's attention was completely attracted by what Suarez said, and he forgot the slight weirdness he had just felt.

He followed the captain of the Faceless Men company to a cage.

The Shadow of Order keenly sensed that this cage was wrapped in an energy field.

Joffre's black eyes cast into the cage, where dozens of red spherical monsters were rolling, screaming, and chasing each other, with sharp teeth similar to those in their mouths on their bodies.

Their faces were ferocious and their eyes were wide open.

After looking at it for a while, Qiao Fel spoke.

"Lord Nimrod might indeed be interested in these little red monsters."

The Shadow of Order thought of the information that the expeditionary fleets sent to their friendly forces after encountering the green-skinned orcs, and spoke up to remind them.

"Suarez, I heard that the orcs the expeditionary fleet encountered had strange reproductive abilities. Will there be any accidents during the transportation process?"

"Don't worry, Joffre. When we found them, they were kept in separate captivity. I don't think they are the same as those orcs."

The Faceless Man curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"Besides, they look like they can be crushed with one hand. Even if they become rampant, they won't be a threat."

The Shadow of Order gazed at the cage for a moment before cautiously offering a suggestion.

"We'll prepare a special transport ship to carry them, so that if any accidents happen, it will be easy to deal with."

"it is good."

Suárez enjoyed his time fighting alongside the shadow of order and agreed to his cautious advice without any resentment.

Cage after cage of Squigs, bound by Techmarines, were loaded onto transport ships, which then sailed back to Vostroya.

At the same time, Nimrod, who had completed the conquest of the Orb Alliance, awarded medals to warriors who performed outstandingly in this conquest.

The Primarch personally placed the medal on Kion's chest and patted his shoulder encouragingly after he was officially promoted to captain of the 5th Company of the 4th Regiment.

The medal was designed by the Legion's technical sergeants according to Nimrod's instructions, and was completed by servants and servitors on the casting deck of the Sovereign's Shadow overseen by him.

Therefore, the back of the medal is branded with the High Gothic abbreviation "SC·FD", and above it is branded "Araneus" corresponding to the orb spider.

The medal is black and circular in shape, with a red octagonal spider in the center of the circle on the front, symbolizing the conquest of the Orb Alliance.

Everyone who participated in this operation and made a contribution will receive a medal, whether they are Astartes, auxiliary soldiers, ship commanders, artillery supervisors, etc.

However, only those who have made outstanding contributions will be awarded medals by the Primarch himself.

Among them were the regimental commanders and company commanders of each regiment, as well as captains and legionnaires with outstanding performance.

Of course, there are also mortal commanders like Diana Boleyn.

Those not personally decorated by the Primarch received grey insignia, bestowed by their immediate superiors.

After the awarding ceremony, the 7th and 12th Regiments set sail under Nimrod's orders, heading for Tanis in the Taiping star field according to the star map submitted by the Tailawa people.

Their responsibility is to annihilate the local aliens and control Tanis.

Nimrod then led the "Sleeping Ones" and "Hunters" from the Honor Guard to hunt in the Bottom Nest.
