The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

Since drinking the giant python's blood, the Blood Drinker's sharpness has become astonishing.

A gash was cleaved through the heavy plate armor, and the Blood Drinker plunged deep into the orc warrior's thigh.

The orc warrior never imagined that an ordinary entrenching tool could actually cleave through his thick plate armor, but the intense pain spurred him to reality, and the entrenching tool had indeed cleaved through his plate armor.

The Blood Drinker is not just sharp; it also frantically sucks blood.

"Roar!" The orc warrior roared and swung his left fist at Russell.

Russell hurriedly dodged the Blood Drinker and forgot to pull it off. It wasn't that Russell didn't want to pull it off, but he simply didn't have the chance. In fact, it was right of him not to pull it off.

The orc warrior swung his giant axe at Russell once again, and Russell could only keep running away.

Soon the orc warrior felt something was wrong; his arms became weak and sore, and he felt dizzy—feelings he had never experienced before.

Russell, who was fleeing in all directions, suddenly noticed that the orc warrior seemed to have changed, as if he were drunk, and could no longer lift his giant axe.

In fact, Russell no longer needs to take action; the orc warriors will die automatically in a few moments.

As expected, the orc warrior didn't last long before collapsing to the ground.

Russell walked up to it with a cold smile and said: "Ugly monster, it's too good for you to die like this."

After saying that, Russell raised the Fire Kirin and aimed it at the orc warrior's ugly face.

The orc warrior glared angrily at Russell, though it desperately wanted to retaliate but had no strength left in its body.

Russell fired more than a dozen shots, shattering the orc warrior's head, before stopping.

Russell was in high spirits after executing an orc warrior; he felt a great sense of satisfaction.

The system's voice rang.

System notification: Congratulations, host! Your Fire Kirin has successfully completed its objective and evolved into the second stage, "Flame of Loyalty".

Second-tier Fire Kirin.

Energy consumption reduction is less than 50%.

The firing range is increased by 100 meters.

Weapon power increased by 20%.

Gain the special attribute "Flame of Loyalty".

Flame of Loyalty: Gain a 10% damage bonus when killing an alien, and a 20% damage bonus when killing a demon.

Upon hearing the system's introduction, Russell almost jumped up in excitement; he hadn't expected the Fire Qilin's second-tier attributes to be so good.

Just considering the energy reduction alone, the firing rate can be doubled. That is to say, if you could fire 40 rounds before, you can now fire 80 rounds. The effective firing range of the laser gun used to be about 200 meters, but now it has become 300 meters. Although the weapon power has only increased by 20%, which is not much, it is much higher when combined with the stacking of the Flame of Loyalty.

Just as Russell was feeling pleased, the system's voice rang out again: "Upgrading the Fire Kirin to Tier 3 requires killing 100,000 members of the opposite sex or demons."

Russell, who was still in high spirits, was no longer happy when he heard this. He needed to kill 100,000 people, and they had to be of the opposite sex or demons. He had never been able to kill 10,000 people before, and it was still so difficult. Now he had to kill 100,000 people. Could he really accomplish this?

"Damn system!" Russell cursed inwardly. It was stingy with its search when giving attributes, but it was outrageous when asking for targets. If the system had increased all of the Fire Kirin's attributes by 100%, it might have been possible to complete the mission. But now, it would probably never be completed in a lifetime.

"What are you doing?" Cayans appeared beside Russell without him noticing; he had been watching Russell for a while.

Russell was startled and glanced at Cayenne, then quickly said: "Nothing, I was just overthinking some things."

"I'm about to die, and you're still thinking nonsense?" Kayans shook his head.

"Hehe, didn't I come to save you?" Russell said with an awkward laugh.

Kayans looked at the orc warrior's corpse and said, "I didn't realize you were getting stronger and stronger. You even killed an orc warrior."

Russell drew the Blood Drinker and laughed: "It's all luck. Have you forgotten that my weapon has the poison of the Three Lion Scorpions? I didn't expect that poison to be so potent, and it's still usable after all this time."

Kayans suddenly went limp and fell to the ground again. Russell saw him fall again and quickly helped him up, saying, "Don't worry about anything else for now. I'll take you to the hospital."

"Quickly, someone protect the injured!" Russell shouted, and a group of Krieg guards heard the call and ran over to protect the two men.

The orcs are still landing, but their numbers are much smaller than before, and the Krieg guards have formed a defensive formation.

With a defensive formation in place, the strength of the Krieg Guards gradually became apparent, and the orc lads were actually suppressed. In addition, the Arbitrator squad's attack on the orcs was split up.

With Kayans rescued, Russell no longer had any worries and quickly replenished four batteries.

He was now quite impatient; he wanted to test the true power of the second-tier fire qilin.

The Fire Kirin's effective shooting range is now 300 meters, so he's not going to be foolish enough to fight the orcs to the death.

Russell quickly ran to a high point, mounted his Fire Kirin, and began aiming at the orc boy.

An unfortunate orc boy was aimed at the head, and Russell coldly pulled the trigger.

A dark laser beam shot out from the fire qilin, heading straight for the orc boy's head.

Russell saw clearly that a large hole had been burned into the orc boy's head, and when he pulled the trigger again, an even larger hole was burned into the orc boy's head.

The orc boy could no longer hold on and collapsed. System notification: Obtained a fragment of a Great Muscle Man.

Russell chuckled and said, "The power is indeed much stronger than before, that's so cool."

While Russell relentlessly thwarted the orcs, the battle in space intensified.

The Imperial Navy fleet surrounded the orcs' Battle Moon and kept firing at the macro cannons.

Huge explosions echoed across the battle moon.

The Orcs' Battle Moon was no threat to the Imperial Navy; it was like a dumb goose that could only take hits without fighting back.

Soon the battle moon turned into garbage, and countless orcs died on it.

"One, two,..." This time it was Russell's turn to count, and the orc boy took them all down with one shot.

As reinforcements dwindled, the orcs dared not fight the Krieg guards any longer and began to pour into the hive city in a frenzy.

Commissar Arek saw this as a golden opportunity and ordered the Krieg Guards to pursue the orcs.

Russell followed closely behind, embracing the Fire Kirin and reaping the lives of the orcs with each shot.

The rebels fought desperately against the terrifying orcs and actually managed to hold them off. Now the orcs were caught in the middle, unable to advance or retreat, and were being brutally beaten by the Astragalus Army and the rebels, suffering increasingly heavy casualties.
