Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 151 "Harvest Priest"

On the way, Malena Scala looked around vigilantly.

The savage tribes of the Eldar living in the Trikon system were defeated, but small groups still roamed around, and they launched attacks on human territories from time to time.

Although it did not affect the development of the Trikon galaxy, it also caused considerable losses.

The Harvest Priest was even more suspicious. The strange blight on the crops at Farm No. 5 could not be solved by the technical priests and the "tillage workers", which made her suspect that it was the work of the Eldar.

While she was thinking, the runes of the speedboat flashed, and she had arrived at Farm No. 5.

"Farmer" Carrie was waiting in the aircraft parking area next to the farm. When she saw Malena land, she immediately came over to greet her.

"grown ups."

"Keir, lead the way. Let's go check out the crops on the farm."

Marlena spoke, and the bronze-skinned Kerry stepped aside to lead the way.

"My Lord, in accordance with your orders, I have selected oats and beets that are best suited for cultivation here."

"This world's soil is fertile, and the climate, including sunlight and moisture, is ideal for growing crops. It's even more suitable than any place in our hometown, the Cradle of the Sea."

"The crops had been growing well, but just three days ago they suddenly started to wilt."

The cultivator frowned and said in confusion.

"I have always taken good care of the farmland and never slacked off."

"After the crops became diseased, the tech-priests and I worked hard to find the cause, but we still haven't figured out the cause."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the farmland.

Kerry walked over to the seed bag, "My Lord, I have prepared new seeds."

The Harvest Priestess nodded, and she walked with her long legs towards the gray cone-shaped crops.

She had to find out the reason why the crops were sick first. Her brown pupils suddenly became deep as she stared at the withered crops.

In the sight of the "Harvest Priest", the shape of the crops was changing, and the yellow light was covered with a strange gray-black color.

[There is something strange indeed.]
Promoted from "Physician" to "Harvest Priestess", her healing abilities have been expanded to treat diseases of plants and farmland.

"I can cure them."

The Harvest Priest said this and was about to begin the treatment.

Malena suddenly frowned, she sensed that a creature was approaching rapidly.

She looked at the dinosaurs galloping towards her and the tall Eldar on their backs with wild patterns painted on their faces.

They were armed with wooden spears and emitted a shrill scream.

"The culprit is here."

Marlena said calmly, "Give me the bag of seeds."

Kerry quickly picked up the bag and handed it to Malena.

When the Savage Spirits saw the two human women, they immediately dispersed and surrounded them from both sides.

The "Harvest Priest" simply holds a handful of seeds, mobilizes his spiritual energy, and fully catalyzes the life they contain.

In an instant, a large number of vines spread rapidly in all directions, tightly entangling the dinosaurs and the wild elves on their backs.

Dozens of wild elves were shocked. They immediately twisted their strong arms and began to struggle.

The vines couldn't restrain the strong Eldar, but it was enough time for Marlena to do so.

She drew her staff from behind her back, raised it high with her left hand, and simultaneously swung out the mutated thorny vines she had carefully cultivated with her right hand.

After being promoted to "Harvest Priestess", Malena cultivated several special plants and carried them on her body in order to unleash her own combat power.

Psychic lightning streaked across the sky and struck the heads of the wild elves.

The Savage Eldar screamed and fell off their dinosaur mounts. At the same time, the "Harvest Priest" raised his right foot and stomped hard.

Spirituality spread through her high-heeled boots and into the mutated thorny vines.

The mutated thorny vines grew and spread wildly. In a blink of an eye, they changed from an arm-long vine to a patch of thorns, entangling the elves.

As the vines wrapped around a dozen elves, countless spikes sprouted from the vines and pierced into their bodies.

"My lord, this is amazing!"

Kerry stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes in surprise.

Those plants, like parts of an adult's body, grew, entangled, and killed enemies according to her will.

"Now is the time to heal the farmland and crops." After the "Harvest Priestess" said this, she pressed her right hand on the ground. As the spirituality spread, the gray-black land within thirty meters of her gradually returned to its original brown color and became fertile land again.

The rye stood up again, its ears slender like wolf's tails, and its dark purple glumes were round and full.

The beets planted between the rye have lost their grayish color, and their spindle-shaped tubers and circular vascular bundles form bright red ripples on the cross section.

……

While Marlena was healing the farms and crops, she was also on guard against the galaxy. The First Regiment's warships and the Sam-Han Ark were circling the galaxy.

The red world ship was larger than his ship, but also faster and even more flexible in turning.

The First Regiment's fleet's numerical advantage was also unattainable. He changed several deployments of ships, including snake formations, arrow formations, and diamond formations...

Every time, the Eldar Ark was like a long red snake, quickly passing through the gap at the moment before the encirclement was formed.

[Premonition!]
Through the intelligence obtained during the interrogation, Howard gained a certain understanding of the Eldar.

The leadership of the Ark Eldar is the Prophet.

They are extremely powerful psykers among the Eldar, who use their foresight to see into the future in order to avoid, prevent, and even manipulate events to ensure the survival of the Eldar.

The "interrogator" couldn't help but recall in his mind that after the Eldar prophet collapsed and spit out the information, he looked at him with hatred, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and shouted out mocking words with his last strength.

"Monkey...even if you...find...the Alert Star..."

"That world...will not...belong to...you..."

"What awaits... you and... the monkey Nimrod... is only death..."

The Arbitration Lord clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

Howard took a deep breath and forced himself to get out of his anger.

[The king said, seize the weakness and strike the enemy!

The proud Eldar look down on them; arrogance is his weakness.]
Order Shadow's black eyes were fixed on the holographic image, his brain working at high speed, conceiving a bait plan.

He opened the command communication channel and issued orders.

"Steering 1-8-5, dip 2."

"Frigate Orlando, turn 3-7-1, pitch 4."

"Two hours and nineteen minutes later, concentrate fire on coordinates 6-1-4."

Howard decided to throw out bait and create an opportunity to strike the Eldar.

The battleships of the First Regiment and twelve frigates and destroyers spread out in formation, like a big net, covering the red Eldar Ark.

The Arbitration Lord commanded his flagship to move forward, maintaining a relatively low position in the large net.

This would expose the escort ships above, and he was sure the arrogant Eldar would not miss this opportunity.

Thirteen black warships, heading towards the red Eldar world ship.

As soon as it entered the range of the human ships, the Red Ark began to maneuver gracefully, weaving through the dazzling light spears and dense swarms of torpedoes.

The Eldar prophet's eyes were deep, and in his eyes the warp was like an unfolding picture.

The flashing red lines in the painting are threads of danger and the trajectory of the enemy's attack.

All of this is under his control.

The Red World Ship pounced on its monkey prey, just like it had done several times before.

Just as the Eldar prophet was about to give the order to attack the locked prey, he suddenly felt a chill.

[No, although I manipulated the Monkey Fleet before, it didn't reveal such an obvious flaw.]
[It's a trap!]
The Eldar prophet changed the attack order at the last moment.

The Red World Ship turned at the moment before stepping into the trap.

Boom boom boom!
The four ships of the First Regiment opened fire, concentrating their fire on the Red Ark's underbelly, breaking its shield.

But the attacks of other ships just brushed past the world ship.

Howard clenched his fists tightly.

hateful.

The insidious Eldar who believed in the World Serpent slipped away at the last moment after stepping into the trap.

Just as the Arbitration Lord was angry, the excited voice of the Sound Array Master rang out from the communication headset.

"My Lord, the Primarch has arrived."
