Final Battle of the Fire Wheel: The Orc Warlord's Ancient Giant
The Flame, Stompa Ork ancient vessel of the orc warlord Soriano, is decorated with gold and black as its base colors, a style favored by the Evil Moon.
The Waaagh! Banner behind him was topped with a grinning Moon against a fiery background, strung with three of his newly acquired spoils: the heads of three Shadow of Order.
His orcish heavy armor and weapons, painted with various gaudy patterns—including a dark moon and Black Hand —were Ork with black backgrounds and yellow flames.
Flame also wore more sparkling ornaments than other Ork.
The Flame is five meters tall, and with the towering Waaagh! Banner behind it, it exceeds ten meters.
James thus firmly secured the position of the Ork warlord.
He led his guards and charged toward the fluttering flag.
The Roaring Deff Dread raised his iron foot high, kicking down a Shadow of Order, and trampling Shadow of Order in his favorite way.
Its two hook-like claws pierced through the Power Armor.
The guards sensed the death of their comrade-in-arms, but they had no time to grieve, nor to charge into the Deff Dread.
They raised their Bolter and fired a volley of explosives at the Deff Dread.
The barrage of bullets fired by the guards accurately struck the Deff Dread.
The tin can was smashed to pieces, staggered backward, and was then smashed to pieces by the enraged Dreadnought with its Power Fist.
One by one, the guards fell, and they finally closed in on the Ork warlord.
The guards raised their Bolter and launched an attack on the Flame.
The Adamantine Warhead struck the outer shell of the Flame and was immediately deflected.
Soriano turned his body and stared at them, letting out a ferocious roar.
"Waaagh!"
Amidst the Deff Dread around them, the crazed Orks simultaneously felt a green mist rising in their minds.
They roared in unison, "Waaagh!"
The green fog in Soriano's mind thickened, and he heard the roars of Gork and Mork in his ears.
He raised his right arm and launched an attack on the Black Shrimp with his personal heavy-duty long-range ion gun.
A beam of luminous, extremely hot energy shot out, precisely hitting a guard member to James' left rear.
The resulting material reaction produces a boiling nuclear sphere, much like a boiling Sun Wheel of Fire.
The explosive energy engulfed the guards, their black armor rapidly melting away. Amidst the incinerating energy flow, the Shadow of Order furiously fired its final bomb at the Flame.
Each plasma beam fired by Soriano took the life of a member of the guard.
Unlike most Ork's casual shooting, his marksmanship was superb, and every attack hit the fast-moving guard members.
When James charged toward the Ork warlord, he had already lost thirteen of his guards.
James raised his shield high with his left hand, blocking the descending mechanical claw.
At the moment of impact, James felt a tremendous force, and he was knocked back a step.
James was Shock by the Ork warlord's immense strength, but he had anticipated this disadvantage, as his target was someone standing atop billions of Orks.
Using the 23rd principle of the Osberh-Vaya Way, he swung the Thunder Hammer with all his might, unleashing a powerful strike aimed at the only weakness he had identified.
James anticipated that the Flame's ribs would be exposed due to the collision, given the weaponry it carried.
Unlike other Power Weapon that emit a constant energy field, the Thunder Hammer delivers its devastating blow only at the moment of impact.
The Thunder Hammer slammed into the Flame's left flank, and the blue Disruption Field exploded, creating Thunder cracks.
Blue sparks hissed as they smashed a hole the size of a normal person's fist, and the Flame was jolted by the impact.
Soriano was heartbroken to see his Stompa Flame, which he had built using 30,000 of the Evil Sunz Boyz's teeth, damaged.
He opened his mouth wide in anger, revealing eleven fangs, and let out a deafening Roar of Fury.
The roar drowned out the Deff Dread of the circular saw, and also the hiss of the exploding bombs.
"Waaagh!"
The giant mechanical claw slammed heavily onto the shield, shattering it with a loud bang.
James's gaze was resolute; in an instant, he entered Warrior's state.
His mind remained calm, yet he channeled the guards' anger into strength.
James mastered the "War Mask" state he had never been able to enter before, and he swung the Thunder Hammer with all his might, slamming it heavily onto the Flame's bloated belly.
The shimmering Disruption Field hissed as it smashed through the Stompa base of black and yellow flames, and the crackling energy field tore apart a piece of Soriano's abdomen.
Soriano couldn't remember when he was last injured. He was both shocked and furious, and he slammed down with the mechanical claw at full force.
The mechanical claws tore through the Mk I Thunder Power Armor, cleaving James in two.
Soriano raised his arm and launched an attack on the other black-armored shrimp.
He felt a burning pain in his abdomen and the emptiness of having lost his armor.
This made the Ork warlord very uncomfortable. He used his mechanical claws to pick up the largest piece of black armor from the ground and covered his abdomen with it.
Soriano still felt the wind seeping in through the cracks.
Not big enough!
Soriano turned his gaze to the large shrimp-like creatures and strode towards the nearest Dreadnought.
The veteran, buried in a metal tomb, witnessed the death of his comrades-in-arms, and anger filled his broken body.
The Dreadnought turned, the Storm Bolter spun rapidly, and the hissing bullets struck the Ork's heavy armor with its black base and yellow flames.
A dozen or so explosive shells whistled as they struck Soriano's exposed abdomen, and an Adamantine Warhead pierced through the wound torn open by the Thunder Hammer.
The explosion destroyed a large chunk of green flesh, enough to kill an ordinary Ork Boyz.
But he couldn't kill a powerful Ork warlord, Soriano roared in Roar of Fury.
The Flame rushed in front of the Dreadnought, its mechanical claws tearing off the Dreadnought's arm. The roaring chainsaw Chainfist fell to the ground, crackling open with its momentum.
The Flame's mechanical claws tore through the Dreadnought, killing the veteran instantly.
After being torn and hammered several times by the mechanical claw, a piece of steel plate was barely managed to be kneaded out.
Soriano frowned as he used his mechanical claws to grip the steel plate and cover his exposed abdomen.
He tapped it a couple more times, barely managing to piece together a complete Stompa.
Although the abdomen was still black, it lacked the decorations Soriano liked and looked tattered.
The enraged Ork warlord let out a Roar of Fury.
"Waaagh!"
The Ork among the Deff Dread, their red eyes filled with thick green mist, launched a frenzied attack on the surrounding black-armored shrimp.
The Shadow of Order of the Second Legion was enraged by the death of their lord and the heavy losses they had suffered.
They adhered to the Legion culture reshaped by the Primarch, and did not lose control due to anger and grief, but they were inevitably scattered by the loss.
Just then, a loud singing voice rang out.
The song of "The Bard" Wilshire reached the ears of every Warrior, Shadow of Order of the Second Legion immediately found their direction.
Wilshire led the Fourth Company in an attack on the Ork warlords.
Deff Dread in their path, and they engaged in fierce fighting with the Fourth Company.
Soriano is no longer as reckless as before; today he has lost more than ten thousand dollars.
Although the Second Legion was centered around "Singer," they were still unable to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.
Just as the battle was at its most intense, a Black Lightning swiftly rushed into the battlefield.
Nimrod charged into the Deff Dread, accompanied by Freddy the Black Wolf and John the Ginger-fur Brainy Cat.
