Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 16 The Death of Estupinian
The twin laser guns on both sides of each mortar turret fired simultaneously. The sixteen beams of light turned into strands of silk in Ningluo's mind, and he was like a dancer on a spider web.

He just turned his body slightly to avoid several beams of light that were aimed at his body.

With a dash, he dodged a round of covering volleys.

"Fire! Fire with all your might!"

The commander of the Nest Tower Guard, wearing a bright red uniform, shouted loudly.

Only in this way could he overcome the fear in his heart and stop thinking that it was the gods who came to earth to punish him for his sins.

In the fortifications, tens of thousands of guns of various types were aimed at the giant's figure.

Nimrod took a deep breath, and the smoke and air filled his lungs.

His lungs expanded and contracted hundreds of times in an instant, and the inhaled air spiraled, accelerated, rotated, and compressed, turning into the purest ultrasonic wave.

When the ultrasonic waves passed through the organs, vocal cords, throat and other organs of the Progenitor Superman and were spewed out from his mouth, not only did they not attenuate at all, they were even slightly enhanced.

"Roar!"

The howling even drowned out the second round of mortar fire for a moment.

The defenders in the front row of the fortifications heard an inhuman howl in their heads at the same time. They held their heads in pain and then fainted.

The defenders in the back row were also bleeding from their mouths and noses, and their bodies were shaking.

Even the defenders operating the twin laser guns inside the metal fortress had stars in front of their eyes, blood oozing from their ears, and a sharp buzzing sound lingering in their ears.

Ning Lu leaped up, his body swayed slightly, and he stabilized himself in the shock wave of the explosion.

The smoke and roar did not affect his senses, and he noticed another convoy approaching rapidly.

Ningluo immediately broke into a run and rushed towards the nearest defensive turret.

When he was still more than 20 meters away, he suddenly jumped up, put his legs together, and kicked towards the mortar and the casting point of the fortifications.

Howard, who had just regained consciousness from dizziness thanks to the life-support system of his precision-engineered power armor, saw this shocking scene as soon as his vision returned to normal.

He shuddered. If Nimrod punched him, even the armor called the Gift of Om Messiah, which the Mechanicus sages were proud of, would not be able to withstand such an impact.

Howard realized that the era of Boleslaw was coming to an end, and he would become a hero of the new kingdom, gain huge benefits in the new round of reshuffle, and become the wise head of the Find family praised by generations.

He excitedly switched to the command channel and issued orders to the armed men of the Finder family.

"Move, follow the previous battle plan and lock on to your targets."

"On the order to fire, use your weapons to kill the scum of the Boleslaw family!"

The commander in a red robe shouted loudly and shot five deserters with the laser pistol in his hand, barely maintaining the morale of the defenders.

Just when his defense line was about to crumble, he discovered that the new head of the Finder family came to support him with his men.

"My Lord Count, thank you for your timely assistance. King Bolesław will surely be satisfied with your performance during this crisis."

Howard looked around at his men and found that they had already integrated into the defense line according to the battle plan. The unsuspecting defenders welcomed their arrival.

He raised his left arm, and as the heavy felling rifle unleashed its rounds, he issued the command "Attack!" over the comms channel.

Then, gunshots rang out and beams of light flashed.

Ning Lu swung the gun barrel and smashed the two twin laser guns at the same time as he noticed a sudden change.

He instantly located Howard and recognized his former temporary employer.

Nimrod immediately guessed something. He walked towards Howard and swung the gun barrel casually. One defense point after another was smashed down, and the metal plates crushed the defenders inside into meat paste.

Howard looked at Nimrod. Compared with what he saw in the image, he felt the oppressive force of a mountain. He could understand the defenders who had lost their morale and were fleeing in all directions.

He immediately knelt on one knee and solemnly swore allegiance to Nimrod according to the Vostroyan oath of allegiance.

"I, Howard Finder, swear on my honor and blood."

According to the tradition of the Muska people of Vostroya, he would have pledged his loyalty to the visiting King Bolesław at the banquet held at Yekaiban. At this moment, Howard, who had yet to serve a lord, pledged his loyalty to the true king without violating his noble honor or oath.

"I offer my unconditional loyalty and obedience to Lord Nimrod, the new king of Tezwok."

"I will fight for your glory and do your will!"

Nimrod stopped in front of Howard and his majestic voice rang out.

"I accept your allegiance."

The guards of the Finder family joined the team, further boosting the morale of the gang.

Not only them, but also the noble lords in the upper nest saw that the gods had come to the world and they would surely win.

Nimrod was the first to rush into the tower. He broke through the door and passed through the porch, where he encountered determined resistance.

He noticed that even though the mortals in front of him looked at him with fear, they did not run away.

Nimrod knew that in addition to the royal family, there were also families of retainers who had been loyal to them for generations, and their loyalty far exceeded that of their vassal nobles.

[Breaking the rules with violence and establishing a new order is bound to be accompanied by blood!]
The thought came to his mind, and he immediately felt more spiritually alive.

He walked with the gait of a hunter, leaving a scarlet path behind him as he climbed the marble steps.

The alarm pierced the sky and echoed throughout the nest tower.

For the first time in thousands of years, Bolesław was attacked by foreign enemies.

The nobles, with their private soldiers, rushed to the passage to resist the attack.

Nimrod climbed all the way up, and his moving speed was equal to his attack speed.

Compared to the defensive positions encountered before, the resistance encountered now is much smaller.

At the same time, at the top of the Nest Tower, the Armor Baron was nervously installing armor on King Boleslaw.

He hadn't worn this armor for decades, and it was difficult to squeeze his bloated body into it.

The Foreign Minister beside him nervously reported to the king.

"Sage Kaminski replied that he is gathering the Skitarii. It is estimated to take three hours and twenty-five minutes for them to arrive. Please hold the Nest Tower firmly."

"Hell, tell him I can't hold it for an hour."

King Boleslaw roared in horror as he watched the Defense Minister being killed by a giant on the video screen.

A giant climbed up the spiral marble stairs at such a fast speed that a layer of the tower was lost in every blink of an eye.

The elite members of the family were vulnerable in front of him, and their bodies rolled and fell in large numbers.

Suddenly, the giant stopped and stopped in front of a man in gorgeous clothes.

King Bolesław searched his memory and confirmed that it was Estupinian. He was able to remember this branch of the family because he served as the fifth arbitrator.

Although he was greedy, he was very sensible and would offer gifts every month, every festival, and every time he had a harvest.

He also had a bit of cleverness that helped him conceal things that might displease the tech-priests.

King Bolesław had just thought of this qualified lackey when he saw the giant pick up Estupinian and a rumbling sound was heard.

"I want to thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to reach the Nest Tower so quickly."

Seeing Estupinian's neck broken, King Bolesław showed no mercy and hated his stupidity.

"Damn, this idiot! People like him can only be won over, not made enemies."

"If I can recruit him, all of Vostronia will be mine."

"Damn it, why did I provoke him!"
