Final Battle of the Fire Wheel: The Extravagant Evil Moon Orc Warlord

Two months after the battle began on Fire Wheel Main Star, the Second Legion, having cleansed the Fortress marked B, immediately launched an attack on the Ork Fortress marked C without resting.

Knights of the House Vicstrix, fighting alongside the Second Legion.

After the Knights of Vixatrix breached the Ork Fortress, James donned the robust Mk I Thunder Power Armor.

This type of armor is becoming increasingly rare in the legion; the black color of the armor comes more from polishing than from spraying.

The regimental and combat incantations covered above are mostly no longer officially recognized by the "Shadow of Order".

The wolf-shaped emblem, etched in platinum on the cheek guards of his towering helmet, commemorates his time as Reapers serving Lord Horus.

Despite James's promotion to lord, he remained a knight in the Court of the Black Duke.

He longed to gain more trust from the Primarch, and he saw the Wheel of Fire as the best opportunity.

The Second Legion was drafted from the very beginning and suffered the greatest Chapter in the Void Wars and the battles to capture the Attack Moon.

But James felt that wasn't enough; he craved greater trust.

Killing Ork orc warlord and presenting the sacrifice to his father was the best way he could think of to prove himself.

On the other fronts, they had not encountered Ork warlords, and James had a vague premonition that he was in this Fortress.

The moment the knights of House Vicstrix breached the city walls, he couldn't wait to give the order.

"Charge!"

Wilshire's highly infectious voice rang out. "Our honor lies in slaying evil."

"I am Wilshire of the Shadow of Order!"

"In this battle, we will etch our legend onto the bodies of every Xenos we slay. Are you willing to stand with me?"

Based on his outstanding performance, he was promoted to adjutant four months ago.

He was promoted to company commander a month ago because the 4th Company commander died in the war against the Ork.

Apart from the Vostonia and Cradle of the Sea crew who followed him before the Primarch's return, Wilshire is the fastest and youngest person in the entire history of the Eleventh Legion to become a captain, adjutant, and company commander within the Normal Shadow of Order Cultivation Mechanism.

All the members of the Royal Court in the Second Legion knew that the Primarch valued him more highly than most company commanders, and even some lords.

The only one who could barely keep up with him was Per Koschelny of the 11th Chapter, but he had only been promoted to company adjutant five days earlier.

The "Bard" would also selflessly share the teachings he received from the Primarch when he was a member of the Honor Guard with every member of the Chapter during Chapter rest periods, not just the Warrior under his command.

The Thelema Mindset, "War Mask", "Warp Insight"...

This made him far more prestigious in the Second Legion than First Company Captain Emeric, making him the de facto second-in-command of the Chapter.

The "Bard '" belief not only inspired the 4th Company, but also many other companies' Warrior, who instinctively shouted out their praises.

The "Bard" held his head high, his singing voice, transmitted through the loudspeaker, bringing the Shadow of Order to his company of 921 men.

The Warrior of the 4th Company, as if bathed in sunlight, followed their company commander as they charged up the city wall.

Wilshire's singing grew louder and louder as he swung the Power Hammer in his hand.

He smashed the sledgehammer down on the Orks's head; he could feel the energy charging and releasing as he killed each Orks.

Each impact is accompanied by a brief moment when the charging field emits a deep roar as energy pulses collide with other matter.

The Orks's power could not stop the "Bard" from gaining power from the song. In a sudden burst of kinetic energy, he released his power and destroyed the blasphemous Xenos.

Wilshire led his company toward the Orks cannons billowing black smoke on the city wall.

With each swing of his hammer, he would kill an Ork Boyz or several Gretchin.

Wilshire was unstoppable. He charged to an Ork cannon and smashed the Mekboy's head into a pile of mud.

He swung the hammer again, smashing it onto the cannon, the Disruption Field shattering the Ork cannon into a pile of broken parts.

After the 4th Company destroyed seven Ork cannons in succession, a gap appeared in the firepower of the entire city wall. The Third Company and Fifth Company seized the opportunity and stormed into the city wall.

Wilshire turned his gaze toward the city, toward the lord's battlefield.

He immediately saw the Chapter's fifty-two Dreadnought standing alongside three times that number of equally massive steel monsters.

The piercing noise emitted by the steel monster was exceptionally jarring even amidst the roar of artillery.

Their long-barreled Big Shoota spewed dense barrages of bullets at the Chapter's Dreadnought, sending Mars from their black armor.

They wielded their crab-claw-like power claw, attempting to seize the larger, more agile, and more heavily armored Dreadnought, then sawed through their black armor with their hissing chainsaws.

Wilshire keenly noticed that they all wore the insignia of the Deathskulls Clan on their backs, rather than the insignia of the surrounding Orks Evil Sunz Clan.

Wilshire immediately recalled the words the Primarch had spoken before the war.

The Big Mek of the Deathskulls Clan on Planet II possesses mechs that are much smaller than they should be.

The only ones with the power and wealth to buy those mechs could be the Ork warlords of the Wheel of Fire.

He then identified the Ork as the Orc's Deff Dread from the materials distributed by the Primarch.

The Deff Dread is strikingly similar to our Dreadnought; the pilot must be permanently connected to the mech via prosthetics.

Each selected Orks will undergo surgery to insert tubes, neural probes, skull punctures, and other strange machines into their spine and brain. This "high-tech" product requires the collaboration of tech lads and mad doctors to complete.

Unlike the Killa Kan, their pilots are Ork. They are generally not as powerful as our Dreadnought, but they are much stronger than the Killa Kan.

Moreover, each Deff Dread costs the exorbitant price of one hundred mozzarella teeth, enough for an ordinary Orks to drink one hundred large glasses of fungal beer.

Wilshire directly witnessed the extravagance of the Ork warlords; the Deff Dread alone was worth 15,000 large teeth.

The lavishly constructed Deff Dread were worthwhile; they used their numerical advantage to besiege the Second Legion's Dreadnought.

Less than an hour into the skirmish, eight Dreadnought had already been lost, though the Ork had paid more than four times the price.

Wilshire leaped off the city wall, thinking to himself.

[The Ork warlords must be killed as soon as possible; this will free the enraged ones trapped in their mechs, causing them to fight independently.]

James and Wilshire shared the same idea; he had already locked onto the Waaagh! Banner flying high in the Deff Dread.

James learned from the data distributed by the Primarch that every powerful, large, and noisy Ork Warboss would have his own Waaagh! Banner.

The size of the Waaagh! Banner and the trophies used to decorate it most directly reflect the power and status of its owner.

The Waaagh! Banner that James saw was covered with dozens of ornaments, including fangs and skulls.

James led his guards, charging into the Dreadnought and heading towards the direction of the Waaagh! Banner.
