Nimrod led the Honor Guard forward, gathering Honor Guard members along the way.

Hundreds and thousands of Ork surged forward, but this did not slow the Honor Guard's advance.

The Primarch locates the Primarch's Attendants and most of the Honor Guard members, and proceeds towards the Warp Gate.

The team encountered trouble when they were about a kilometer away from the Warp Gate.

The Mekboy built the Warp Gate, leading their Burnas, appeared in droves ahead.

"For the sake of Gork and Mork!"

The Mekboy was the first to arrive at the battlefield, shouted.

The Burnas let out a stroke-like, enthusiastic shout, then unleashed their flamethrowers.

Wearing a breathing mask, Arsena took a step forward and swung his staff.

An invisible "Protective Field" blocked the incoming streams of molten flames.

Nimrod shouted, his voice drowning out the crackling of the flames.

"Two wings, fuel tanks."

Members of the Honor Guard on both flanks raised their Bolter and fired grenades at the metal cans carried by the Orks soldiers.

The Adamantine Warhead penetrated the outer casing of the iron can, and the explosion of the bomb triggered Promethium symbiotic detonation.

Boom boom boom!

The animal hide armor was torn apart by the explosion, and the arsonists were blasted into pools of blood mist.

The Mekboy screamed in terror, and he and his repair tools turned into black smoke.

The group continued forward for another hundred meters, and dozens of Mekboy appeared ahead, followed by tens of thousands of Burnas.

"Cutting Torch!"

The Burnas pulled it, switching to the Cutting Torch mode.

The tallest of the Mekboy, his blood began to boil, and the green mist in his heart condensed into a boiling sphere of anger.

He roared and raised the modified gun in his hand, firing more than a dozen shots into the air.

Amidst the clicking sound, the Mekboy shouted loudly.

"A black tin can, a glass of fungal beer!"

"Waaagh!"

A green light rose in the burning eyes of the Burnas.

"Waaagh!"

"Burn those black tin cans!"

The flames from countless flamethrowers converged into a sea of fire, engulfing the entire Honor Guard members.

The silver- Psyker raised his hands high, unleashing his full Telekinesis to create a "Protective Field."

Sweat immediately beaded on his forehead. The moment his Telekinesis collided with the sea of fire, he felt the flames spewed by the Orks undergo a tremendous change in both quantity and quality.

In an instant, several gaps appeared in his Psychic Field.

Arsena's sweat dripped down, and at the same time, his left hand fingers trembled.

Bang!

The molten flames burst through the crack and struck a member of the Honor Guard.

The Astartes, along with its Plastisteel Armor, was instantly burned to a dark, charred state.

The Shadow of Order sensed the immense Affliction their battle brethren had suffered at the moment of their deaths; watching the ashes engulfed by the molten flow, they increased their attack speed.

The explosive bomb collided with the molten inferno, creating a series of deafening explosions that sent up huge waves.

At this moment, Nimrod sheathed the Sword of Vaul back into his waistband and picked up a piece of Orks armor from the ground.

With a slight effort, the Primarch gene crushed the hard armor.

His fingers precisely controlled the power of his fingers and muscles, and the armor instantly shattered into dozens of smaller iron bars, blocks, and balls.

"They're yours!"

The Briber infused his hand with Spirituality, then threw it forcefully, sending dozens of metal objects flying into the air.

The metal objects drew arcs in the air, passing over the molten liquid sprayed by the Burnas, before spinning and falling.

Each metal object, controlled by the "Briber's" extraordinary throwing ability, flew in a different direction and smashed into the mask pulled down by the Burnas in the back row.

The force contained within the metal objects caused them to smash through the masks and land in the faces of the Burnas.

A dozen or so of the Burnas lost their minds in the sweltering heat.

In their eyes, every Burnas around them became a hateful enemy.

They roared in anger and launched attacks in all directions using flamethrowers.

The Burnas were caught off guard; they usually unleashed their destructive tendencies without restraint, even spitting flames at each other.

But when the Mekboy was around, none of them dared to play with fire recklessly.

Caught completely off guard, hundreds of Burnas were instantly burned to death by the flames.

The relatively orderly array of Burnas, maintained by the Mekboy, immediately descended into chaos.

Seeing this, Nimrod nodded in satisfaction.

"Bribery and Charm" will make the target feel a strong sense of goodwill, making it difficult for them to have any hostile intentions, and even making them unwilling to fight against the "Briber".

Bribery is used appropriately, there is even a very small chance that it will backfire and cause harm to one's allies.

Sure enough, "Bribery and Charm" is usually useless, but it works wonders on Ork.

Orks are inherently warlike; when there are no enemies, they will attack the surrounding Ork.

There's an extremely small chance, but it might become effective against Orks, causing Ork to lose their minds and attack their own kind.

The Briber swiftly picked up the Orks armor from the ground, crushed it, and threw it away.

Streams of flame erupted among the Ork, and tens of thousands of Ork were engulfed in flames in an instant.

The chain wrapped around Nimrod's right little finger swirled with Blood Red, rapidly replenishing his depleted Spirituality.

The Primarch's Attendants wiped the sweat from his brow, then suddenly bent down and pushed hard with both hands.

The sea of fire churned and rolled forward, engulfing the charging Orks.

The Honor Guard split into two teams, bypassing the sea of fire from both sides, and rushed towards the Warp Gate.

Nimrod was the first to see a strange yellow mechanical construct standing in Warp Gate.

It was as tall as Knight Mech, with a strange red beast's head painted on the front.

Gorkanaut!

Nimrod immediately recognized the Ork mechanical creation as a statue of the Orks god Gork in the mortal realm, a machine that all Ork dreamed of.

The guardian of the Warp Gate, Gorkanaut, raised his left arm and fired at the Honor Guard behind cover.

After the two squads of Shadow of Order landed, they were quite far from the Primarch and proceeded directly to the target points marked on their helmets.

Nimrod's team attracted all the Mekboy around the Warp Gate, and the two squads successfully broke through to the Warp Gate area.

They then encountered Gorkanaut, who raised his left arm, and the Deffstorm Mega-Shoota spun rapidly.

Amidst the deafening roar, six large guns unleashed a dense hail of bullets at the black-armored Warrior.

A member of the Honor Guard was shot through the skin.

The team's Apothecary immediately rushed forward; it was his responsibility to treat the wounded.

The Apothecary struggled against the Shadow of Order, rolling away to avoid the attacks.

Gorkanaut's left arm followed closely behind the two Honor Guards, the dense barrage of bullets leaving the ground cratered.

Members of the Honor Guard launch an attack on the bizarre mechanical construct before them, providing cover for two Shadow of Order.

The bomb struck Gorkanaut's body, shattering it into pieces.

The Ork Warboss inside the cockpit roared in fury; the damage to the statue of the Gork Ge had enraged him.

The Ork Warboss heard Gork's roar and activated the two pairs of rocket launchers above his head.

The missiles, trailing plumes of flame, were fired at the two squads respectively.

Rumble!

The two teams of Honor Guard members dispersed and took cover.

Gorkanaut raised his right arm, the two twin-barreled guns mounted on it roaring angrily.

A hail of bullets rained down, and another member of the Honor Guard was hit.

The leader grinned maliciously as he strode towards the fallen Honor Guard members, his chest Flamer unleashing flames powerful enough to scorch the Shadow of Order into dust at the black-armored Warrior.

Just then, a black figure slammed into Gorkanaut like a whirlwind.

The Ork Warboss struggled to control his body; he saw a giant much larger than the black-armored Warrior.

Enraged, he activated the Klaw of Gork, a massive, power claw that slammed down towards Nimrod.

The Gene Primarch Activated Power Fist shone with golden light.

Fist against fist, a pure clash of strength.

The Power Fist collided with Klaw of Gork, producing a deafening explosion.

Gorkanaut was thrown backward by the shock, his feet sinking into the ground and leaving two deep trenches.

The Ork Warboss roared in fury; for the first time since being chosen by Gork, he had been outmatched in strength.

The power claw was damaged in the collision, and fragments fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

He heard Gork's furious roar, Gorkanaut chest.

The Primarch gene landed on the ground, immediately bounced up, and avoided the torrent of flames.

Nimrod, using the first rule of "Osberh-Vaya," stabbed the Ork Warboss with the Sword of Vaul.

The Ork Warboss quickly swung his Klaw of Gork block the cockpit.

The Sword of Vaul pierced the crack in the giant power claw with a loud bang, Klaw of Gork.

The Primarch, using the second "Osberh-Vaya" technique, thrust out a sword with a backhand.

A blue-white light pierced through the mechanical armor and into the Ork Warboss's chest.

The towering, Gorkanaut crashed heavily to the ground.

The members of the Honor Guard watched with admiration as the Primarch swiftly annihilated the Ork mech.

After clearing the obstacles, the two Tech Sergeant immediately rushed to the Warp Gate and began their investigation.

Nimrod discovered that the Ork Warboss's teeth, like those of the other Orks, radiated a Spirituality glow, so he used a guard's Chainsword to cut off the two teeth.

The Primarch left behind a small squad of Honor Guard members, who stood in Warp Gate, using the remains of Gorkanaut off the Ork rushing out of the Warp Gate.

He then launched a series of attacks on the other Warp Gate.

The boarding action launched by the Honor Guard and the Second and 7th Legion dealt a heavy blow to the Orks, rendering the Attack Moon unable to launch an attack.

In the void, the 11th Chapter, having arrived in the star system, became the main force clearing out the Ork warships.

Per Koschelny's first real combat experience, as a commander, saw him lead his ships in an attack against the Orks.
