Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 32: Death of the Mad King
"This is the battle footage captured by the surveillance camera. Please take a look."

Murawski operated the data board and showed the surveillance footage to the Mad King.

Puhachi's prosthetic eye turned and looked at the enemy who had broken through the nest and was heading straight for the nest tower.

When he saw the giant in the picture, his prosthetic eye flashed red.

After a few seconds, Puhachi stood up suddenly.

"Good! Great!"

Puhachi glanced at everyone with his scarlet artificial eye and said with disdain.

"You idiots, you've seen it all. Now is the time to let you understand that flesh and blood are fragile."

"This idiot thinks he's powerful, but compared to me, who has a truly perfect body, he's just a toy."

"Turn on the surveillance video under the Nest Tower for me. You losers, keep your eyes open."

Then Puhachi strode out of the palace.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the same thought came to most people's minds.

[Oh my God, please bless the giant to win and kill the mad king!]
The moment the elevator landed, Puhachi impatiently pushed open the iron door and rushed out of the nest tower.

As he ran, the scene of the battlefield came into his eyes.

Puhachi discovered that his carefully built iron army, although several times larger than the enemy, did not gain any advantage, but was instead beaten back step by step.

[This is illogical.]
A light flashed in his artificial eye, and he immediately activated the dynamic scanner installed in his left eye to capture the situation of both sides on the battlefield.

Puhachi first locked onto two targets, Thierry Vieira and another unknown strong man, who rushed into his own iron army and were unstoppable.

Seeing that both of their analyses concluded that they were medium threats, Puhachi lost interest in them.

He drove the scanner with all his strength and finally captured the giant's movements.

The next moment, the scanner suddenly crackled and Puhachi lost the vision in his left eye.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Puhachi looked at the giant with his one eye. There was actually someone beyond the analysis range of the scanner, which was completely beyond his cognition.

His body trembled and he took a step forward and rushed straight towards the giant.

Puhachi will never allow anything that goes against the truth to exist, and the blasphemous giants must be purified.

Nimrod noticed the robot's presence the moment it left the Nest Tower, and associated it with Lukopo's identity as the Mad King.

He swung his heavy halberd, swept down a group of enemy soldiers, and was about to kill the enemy leader first, but unexpectedly Puhachi rushed towards him.

"Heretics, die!"

A buzzing sound came from Puhachi's sound array synthesizer, mixed with the hissing sound of electricity.

He raised his left arm high, and like a mantis, he aimed his three-meter-two-meter-long folding knife straight at Ningluo's head.

Ninglu swung his arm and swung his halberd to meet the attack. With a clang, the tip of the blade cut through the halberd.

The sharp mantis knife, which has been forged with great expense and tempered many times, has the upper hand in weapon confrontation.

The mechanical arm gained the upper hand, and the crackling noises in Puhachi's mind disappeared for a moment.

"The machine is indestructible..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and a huge force suddenly came from the Mantis Blade.

With a loud bang, the mantis knife exploded, and the scattered skin shot towards several steel warriors who were running towards them.

The blade fragment penetrated a man's alloy armor, pierced his flesh and blood heart, and then stretched out from his back.

The shaft at the connection spun rapidly and hit the other person's throat, causing blood to gushed out like a fountain.

"Mistakes, all mistakes..."

Puhachi heard the mechanical whining, and he swung his mechanical arm and bombarded Nimrod.

Ningluo raised his left hand and grasped the Mad King's fist.

He swung his arm hard, and Puhachi lost control of his body and was thrown into the air.

Nimrod wielded the Mad King like a mechanical arm, swung it forward and left, crushing several Iron Warriors into pulp. He swung it back, sending a swarm of enemies flying. Feeling the unexpected effectiveness of his "weapon," he immediately rushed toward the densest part of the crowd, swinging his left arm like a windmill. The enemies fell like harvested wheat, falling in droves.

The Iron Warriors rushed madly towards Nimrod, trying to rescue their king, the guide of their mechanical ascension.

The crowd surged and rushed towards the giant.

The crowd hit rocks harder than steel and scattered in all directions.

Nimrod swung Puhachi violently until there was a loud explosion and the iron body could not withstand the violent power of the Primarch and shattered, and was forced to stop.

At the same time, Nimrod, who acted like a "barbarian" and broke Lukopo's rules, clearly felt that most of the potion had been digested.

"King Puhachi is dead!"

The Iron Warriors' eyes widened, they lost their faith and fell to their knees.

"The Mad King is dead!"

The palace of Nest Tower erupted in loud cheers, and most of the nobles raised their arms and cheered, celebrating the end of the Dark Ages.

They looked at the aliens who were retreating, "Don't let the Mad King's lackeys escape."

While the nobles were venting their anger, Thierry excitedly ran to Puhachi's body. After confirming that the Mad King was completely dead, he immediately came to Nimrod and knelt on one knee.

"My king, Thierry Vieira swears his family honor and soul to be loyal to you forever!"

"I accept your allegiance!"

Nimrod said in a deep voice, "Bring your men with you and follow me up the tower."

"Rolslev, you lead your men and take the prisoners into custody."

"Establish a line of defense and prepare for attack."

"As you command, my lord!"

Rawlslev took the order and took action immediately.

Nimrod arrived at the palace, with Thierry leading the way.

As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw the golden hall stained with blood and corpses lying in pools of blood.

Nimrod turned his gaze towards the nobles in gorgeous clothes. Before he could say anything, he was surprised to see that all the nobles were kneeling on one knee.

"We pledge our loyalty to the liberators of Lukopo!"

Ning Lu was silent for a moment, then he opened his spiritual vision to observe everyone. He discovered that the main colors of their auras were yellow, representing happiness and extroversion, and white, representing brightness. He suddenly understood.

"I accept your allegiance!"

"My king, the entire hive will welcome your arrival, except for Sage Kivio-15 at Altar Three."

Ningluo had a countermeasure in mind. He looked at the nobles of Lukebo and asked in a deep voice.

“During this period, can production capacity be significantly reduced?”

All the nobles looked at the giant in surprise. How did the new king know this? Did Thierry tell him?

"My Lord, I am Count Murawski, as wise as you are, indeed."

Ningluo nodded slightly. His judgment was indeed correct. Puhachi, who valued machinery over flesh and was almost insane, obviously would not take the food crisis caused by the alien pirates seriously.

Even the remote Tezwok was affected, and Lukopo, which had a larger population and was located in the central area, would inevitably be affected even more. However, no one dared to report to the Mad King, and Puhachi would not care about those fragile flesh and blood lives.

"I need a representative to tell the sage that I will restore Lukopo and further increase its production capacity."

The nobles looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Murawski who had just spoken.

"My king, I am willing to go. I believe the sages do not want the war in Lukopo to continue."

"My lord, I am going with Count Murawski."

Thierry volunteered, and Nimrod agreed immediately.

"it is good."

"Tell Kivio-15 that if he doesn't believe it, he can ask Sage Kaminsky for confirmation."
