Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 93 Giving Sasak a Last Chance

After hanging up the communication, Ningluo gave orders to the company commanders.

"Prepare for battle. Our next target of conquest is the mountain world where Ogryn hides."

After thinking for a moment, he sent separate messages to the commander of the fourth company, Adams, and the commander of the seventh company, Sanchez.

"Choose your men to form my honor guard."

When the two company commanders realized that only their company had received this honor, they had the same idea at the same time.

[As Knights of the Black Baron's Court, we are trusted by the Primarch more than any other Legion member, and we enjoy this honor alone.]
Void Hunter, orbiting above the planet labeled 33-5.

The captains of the 11th Legion turned their eyes to the silver-haired mortal standing beside the command throne. He was so close to the Father of Genes.

As they speculated about the mortal's identity, the Primarch spoke.

"Let's get a tactical briefing."

"I haven't appointed any servants yet, Sanchez. You arrived first and already have a grasp of the situation, so you'll be the one to take charge."

"As you command, Father."

After becoming a "Hunter", the Captain of the Seventh Company painted seven red arrows on his right shoulder armor, with the central arrow running through the entire shoulder armor.

There are three arrows spread out on each side, the arrows closest to the center are three-quarters the length of the central arrow, and the arrows outwards are one-half and one-quarter the length of the central arrow respectively.

Sanchez picked up the control stick and swung it.

A detailed holographic image flickered above the platform where the command throne sat, showing an overview of the galaxy, orbital maps, and the positions and headings of each ship.

The captain of the Seventh Company waved his control wand and pointed at the planet officially numbered 33-5, which had just been submitted to the Imperial Planning Department for registration, and enlarged its holographic image.

"According to the Auger matrix scan results, this planet has a diameter of 5104.02 kilometers. It is a world composed of mountains."

Sanchez shook the control stick and clicked on a certain area. The area was black and was extremely conspicuous in the green holographic image.

"This area accounts for about one-tenth of the entire planet."

"It is worth noting that the signal in this area is abnormal, which interferes with the scanning of the Auger matrix."

Nimrod leaned back on his throne, tapping the back of the chair with his left hand.

"What caused the anomaly?"

"The Mechanicus's sages initially assessed this to be an anomaly in the geomagnetic field."

Ning Lu nodded slightly, signaling the captain of the seventh company to continue.

He tapped the control wand at another spot and continued.

"Scans show that this area has the strongest life signal. It is the largest known concentration of Ogryns, marked as 33-5-001."

"..."

After listening to the tactical briefing, Nimrod took all the information into his mind and completed the tactical plan within seconds. He decided to give the company captain one last chance to test himself.

"Sesak, your company, follow me to attack 33-5-001."

The company commander naturally beat his chest with his right hand under the envious gaze of the other company commanders.

"Father, I will become the sharp butcher knife in your hand, giving..."

Nimrod interrupted Sesak, "It's not a butcher's knife, it's the shadow of order."

The company commander's mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing more.

Ning Li caught the resistance expressed in the emotions of Saisak, Third Company Captain Samir, and Eighth Company Captain Robin, and he spoke in a more emphatically tone.

"You are no longer reapers. I want to see your transformation and overcome your bloodlust."

"do not let me down!"

Ningluo was satisfied to see that the second captain George seemed thoughtful and touched, but he also noticed that there was still no obvious change in the three of Saisak.

His black eyes flashed, and he thought silently in his heart.

[Let’s see if there are any changes in their actions. If not, after Howard, Bukayo and Thierry are rehabilitated, they will be assigned to three companies respectively.

Combined with organizational restructuring and the involvement of other Vostonians, the three companies will gradually be influenced and transformed.]
The Primarch arranged the attack targets of each company one by one, and only the Seventh Company was left.

"Sanchez, your company's target is that abnormal area."

"Your mission is to explore the situation and conquer if circumstances allow."

Nimrod decided to give the "hunter" a chance to hunt.

After the meeting, each company immediately began preparing for battle. Immediately, each company boarded a landing craft and headed to the surface.

Nimrod's honor guard consisted of twenty-seven Order Shadows from the Seventh Company and twenty warriors from the Fourth Company.

There was another mortal on the landing ship, Arsène Dunne.

Nimrod did not bring Malena with him. During the period of large-scale transformation of the Legion, the "Doctor" would study on the medical deck and use her extraordinary abilities and biochemical psychic powers to rescue candidates whose operations failed in time.

The landing craft touched down on the surface, and Arsena, who followed Nimrod out onto the deck, immediately felt the weight of gravity pressing down on him.

His body was shaking and he almost fell to his knees.

The silver-haired psychic raised his hand slightly, and telekinesis tightly wrapped around his entire body, isolating it from physical influences.

Nimrod felt that the gravity of this planet was even higher than 33-4, but for the Primarch, it could not be said to have no effect at all, but it could only be said to be negligible.

The members of the Honor Guard beside him felt their steps become heavier, but it did not affect their combat capabilities.

When Saisak saw the honor guard behind Nimrod, he couldn't help but feel a little angry and lost.

[The soldiers of the first company are the best. This time, I must prove it to the Primarch.]
Sesak, who had been scolded before, did not provoke the Father of Genes. He said in the company channel.

"Brothers, today is our best chance to prove ourselves to the Father of Genes."

"For the king!"

Nimrod looked at the company of soldiers in front of him and reminded them in the command channel.

"Control your bloodlust. You are not reapers, but shadows of order!"

"set off!"

The team then headed towards the identified area, the largest settlement of the Ogryn people, a mountain with an altitude of 5,400 meters.

On the mountain peaks, the Ogryns scattered in the gray forest were carrying large clubs cut from large trees and striding forward, chasing the prey in the forest.

Suddenly, an Ogryn as tall as an Astarte saw the team rushing down the mountain, and he shouted loudly to his fellow tribesmen.

"Under the mountain..."

"Big guy..."

"black……"

"Tiepi..."

The Ogrins, carrying their big sticks, gathered around excitedly and looked at the team at the foot of the mountain.

The other Ogrin, whose left hand was broken, asked in a daze.

"eat?"

Smart Head, the biggest head among the Ogryns, touched the top of his head with his left hand. He saw a short creature and another giant without a helmet, and shouted in affirmation.

“They can eat.”

The Ogryns immediately howled excitedly and rushed down the mountain on their bare feet.

Sesak's eyepiece caught sight of Ogryn rushing down the mountain, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"charge!"

As usual, the company commander led the charge, with the guards following at his side.

The Astartes collided with the Ogryn, and Sesak dodged the incoming club.

He slammed into Ogryn in front of him on the left, knocking the enemy off balance while stabbing his chainsaw sword into his abdomen.

Nimrod noticed that the captain of the first company was dashing left and right in the crowd. He was like an efficient killing machine. Every time he swung his chainsaw sword, an Ogryn fell.

[Although Sesak is obsessed with killing, he still instinctively seizes the enemy's weaknesses.

He would not confront Ogryn head-on and engage in a brute force contest with him.

He will flank his foe, striking at its weak points.]
On the top of the mountain, more and more Ogryns were attracted by the shouts and screams.

Although Nimrod was unhappy that Sesak had no command and did not use decoy tactics to weaken and lure Ogryn to the plains, he was satisfied that the company of soldiers did not lose control.

At this moment, Ogrin, who had the biggest head, showed a grim smile on his face. He suddenly rushed out from the side and hit Sesak hard with his club.

The company commander was knocked down several meters. He steadied himself, and the suppressed murderous intent in his black eyes suddenly burst out. He raised his head and let out an angry roar.
