Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 164 Conquering Mordian

The rallying points chosen by Samir were several squares in the center of the Modian capital, where elite warriors gathered.

The captain judged that the Four Emperors would gather their troops there.

In order to prove that he is more suitable to be the leader of the regiment than Bukayo, Samir decided to lead the team to kill the Four Emperors himself.

The iron will of the Modians and the solid defense they had built, mentioned in the chapter briefing, were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the first captain.

Samir believed that he and his warriors could defeat the Modians.

Even if it costs a little, it's worth it.

Before entering the drop pod, the captain closed the regiment's command channel and issued an order on the company's command channel.

"Action! Decapitate the target, the Four Emperors of Mordian!"

The black airdrop pod, trailing a blinding light, fell rapidly towards Vanendra.

The defense system of the Modian capital was operating at full capacity, missiles and rockets soared into the sky, and anti-aircraft artillery roared, intercepting the dazzling meteors falling from the sky.

boom!
The airdrop pod fell at such a high speed that the Modians' anti-aircraft firepower had difficulty hitting it.

The capital's air defense commander immediately adjusted his strategy, launching a concentrated attack and simultaneously launching a blanket attack on several targets.

The first airdrop pod was hit by several anti-aircraft missiles at the same time, and a squadron of Order Shadow was torn to pieces.

From orbit, the Dark Lord witnessed three drop pods being destroyed during their descent.

His black eyes were filled with flames of anger. The Modians' capital had dense anti-aircraft firepower. It would be foolish to airdrop into Vanendra, and even more foolish to attack the fortifications.

Sensing his anger, his strong-brained cats tensed up.

Bukayo picked up the communicator on the command desk and asked in a cold voice on the command channel.

"Samir, you dare to act on your own before I give the order."

The only response he got was silence from the communication channel, and Bukayo hung up the communicator heavily.

The Dark Lord immediately calmed down from his anger and began to think about how to deal with the situation.

His battle deployment was disrupted by a company commander's deliberate premature action, and a new strategy had to be planned.

Bukayo decided to take advantage of Samir's surprise attack and launch a new offensive.

Battlefield data rushed through his mind: the enemy firepower deployment captured by the scanning array, the combat capabilities of the First Company, the offensive posture of the surrounding pyramids...

The Strong Brain Cat sped up his analysis of the battle situation. After the Dark Lord synthesized the information, he issued an order.

"The second and fourth companies immediately launched an attack on Vanendra to draw the defenders' firepower."

The Dark Lord led his personal guards towards the drop pod. Even though Samir was foolish to launch the attack, he was still a powerful warrior.

His first company would certainly inflict heavy damage on the enemy, Bukayo would exploit the opportunities he created, and the task of the other four companies would be to attract the attention of the defenders.

Landing on the ground, Samir found himself trapped in a sea of ​​defense by the defenders.

The Mordians relied on building three-dimensional fortifications. Snipers in the towers fired from high vantage points, aiming for accurate shots. Guards in the bastions unleashed a hail of bullets. Enemy forces in the bunkers launched insidious sneak attacks...

They cut the battlefield into separate cells, preventing the First Company's squads from regrouping.

Red lasers shot out from the fortress of the Modian soldiers, and the crimson rain poured down horizontally, leaving the Shadow of Order no room to dodge.

When Samir found the guard member of the other drop pod, he had been hit four times, in his greaves, leg armor, chest armor and helmet.

The captain was relieved that the beam did not hit his eyepiece, and he immediately raised his bolt pistol and fired at the enemy.

One of the Mordian soldiers was hit, and the huge impact made him spin in place.

Samir crashed into a bunker, bullets ricocheting off his layered armor, his chainsaw axe roaring in his hand, each blow an impeccable, deadly blow.

The Captain of the First Company found that the Modians' attack was no match for the strength of the Astartes, but they were not defeated by the brutal attacks of the Black Armored Warriors. They relied on fortifications to put up a stubborn resistance.

The great sacrifice of the Modians also paid off, and the guards who followed him fell one by one.

Samir was surprised to find that three Astartes were killed in the two squads.

[The Father of Genes chose Modian as the recruiting world for the Third Legion. He really has a unique vision.

Bukayo's reluctance to engage in street fighting is also justified.]
Although the First Company Captain was shocked, he had no choice but to take advantage of the opportunity to prove himself. Samir spoke into the First Company's command channel, "Report the target location."

The company commander then saw two marked runes light up on his tactical helmet, one from the adjutant and the other from the captain of the assault team.

Samir discovered that the two targets were 2.5 kilometers and 3.6 kilometers away from him respectively.

The captain immediately rushed towards the target marked by the rune. On the way, he assembled eight squads of seventy-one Astartes and launched a decapitation operation against the target.

Standing between Samir and his target were Modian warriors in blue uniforms, who used their bodies as shields to block the attacks of the black-armored warriors.

But the Astartes gathered by the Captain and his lieutenants numbered over a hundred, and when they charged, nothing could stop the superhuman warriors.

Samir led the charge, serving as the spearhead to slay the enemy, while the other Astartes formed the spear's blade.

A company captain led his troops to break through the enemy's defense line fiercely, blood and flesh splattered on his helmet, but he tried his best to suppress his bloodthirsty desire to kill.

Samir led two teams of guards into the pyramid-shaped tower, leaving other teams to guard the retreat.

The guards covered his strides, blocking any enemies who tried to double-team him.

A company captain climbed to the top of the pyramid building and saw his target wearing gorgeous blue armor.

Samir knew that it was one of the Four Emperors, and he temporarily named the target the Sea Emperor, even though there was no sea in Modian.

But it didn't matter because he would be a corpse soon.

The chainsaw axe spun and roared, crushing the guards who blocked its way.

The company captain heard the Sea King roaring angrily in a voice filled with hatred.

He could vaguely discern the meaning of some of the words: "...we...die together..."

Samir thought to himself that something was wrong. He saw Poseidon raise his left hand and press the button of the detonator in his hand.

The entire pyramid shook and collapsed like a landslide, with rubble and debris pouring down. The company captain struggled to maintain his balance.

Samir shouted "Run", then used his hands and feet to climb over the collapsing pyramid. He jumped with all his might and grabbed the relatively stable edge.

When the company commander rolled to the ground, he saw several black-armored soldiers being smashed into the rubble.

Samir's eyes turned red in an instant, and his suppressed bloodthirsty desire burst out. He saw a red team, and he strode towards the enemy.

The Modian King, wearing red armor, raised the precision laser gun in his hand and shot a blazing beam of light at the black-armored warrior.

The laser penetrated the goggles and then shot into the captain's right eye.

Seeing Samir's body fall heavily to the ground, Bukayo felt mixed emotions. He felt relieved that he no longer had to worry about his unruly subordinates, but also a little sad about the death of his fighting brother.

The Dark Lord's eyes flashed, and the Strong Brain Cat's eyes, which had mostly turned black, flashed at the same time, and invisible ripples rippled.

The entire battlefield seemed to be pulled by a silk thread, and was paused for a moment by the "freeze time" of the Strong Brain Cat.

The "Midnight Poet" raised his grenade launcher and fired a bolt of bullet at the Red Robe King.

The invisible ripples disappeared, and time slowly jumped to the next second, when the explosion tore apart the head and neck of the Red Emperor.

Bukayo strode up to a member of the First Company Guards who was struggling to get up from the rubble and was paralyzed by painkillers, and shouted loudly.

"Oleksandr, he is a knight serving the king."

"Following the orders of the Gene Father, he will temporarily serve as the captain of the first company."

After a while, Bukayo finally brought the 1st Company back under his command.

Samir's reckless and ambitious attack disrupted the defenses of the Modian defenders.

The casualties of the Astartes resulted in the deaths of hundreds and thousands of times more Modians.

Bukayo delivered two consecutive decapitation strikes, ending the Four Emperors era of Mordian.

Transport ships from the Cradle of the Sea then arrived, and for the first time in thousands of years, the people of Mordian no longer had to worry about food shortages.

When the Dark Lord was re-establishing order and screening and recruiting children of school age, the fleet led by Nimrod arrived at the Fenris system.
