Catachan Shadow of Order

The first month of 837.

The shadowy figure of the Catachan Shadow of Order, Polti, led his squad on Catachan Wolf to Foundry No. 19 of the Seventh Forge Temple.

The foundry had long been destroyed by savage war beasts, leaving only ruins.

Each of Warrior Catachan was tall and strong, surpassing the other non- Beyonder Shadow of Order, and comparable to the newly-named 18th Legion, the "Salamanders."

The Tarellians' large herd of war beasts was routed at the start of the hunt.

For months, the Catachan hunters had been hunting scattered herds of war beasts.

Polti gently stroked his Catachan Wolf and whispered, "Broken Claw, lead the pack, find the herd, and lure them here."

"After that, all my Salamanders meat is yours."

After the Primarch left Nocturne, he would often distribute Salamanders meat to the various Chapter, Polti received some as well.

Catachan is not adjacent to the Agri World controlled by the Legion. Like most Imperial Army, the 7th Legion usually eats Triglyceride Gel and Amino Porridge, and in battle they are injected with Intravenous Nutrient Pack and nutrient paste.

When they want to change their bland diet, they can only eat dried Catachan Viper meat and other similar foods.

Salamanders meat is a rare delicacy for Polti.

But this time he decided to bring out the precious food, because he had earned an opportunity for the merits he had won in the previous battles against the Aeldari Corsair and Osiris.

Polti learned that he was already a candidate for the Honor Guard.

In order to qualify as a follower of the Primarch, he must outperform the other candidates in this battle to wipe out the beast horde.

The green-furred Broken Claw had lost half of its left claw in the fight to hunt the Catachan Devil.

This is why it got its name, and also why it became the Wolf Prime.

Broken Claw let out a low howl at the other nine Catachan Wolves, then turned and ran, its pack following behind at breakneck speed.

Polti looked at his squad of Warrior, his eyes shining.

"Unlike our Catachan Wolf, the pack of beasts doesn't have armor for protection, and the Tarellians are simple-minded, so they can predict the path of the wolf pack."

"Therefore, we laid Frag Mine to complete a great hunt."

The Shadow of Order sprang into action immediately; they had already been honed into masters of traps and booby traps in the jungles of Catachan.

After setting up the Frag Mine traps, Catachan ambush masters, now in Shadow of Order, entered their respective positions and waited.

They are excellent hunters, patiently waiting for the wolves to lure their prey.

The rapid, clattering sound of hooves filled their ears, and the shadowy figures of the Catachan Shadow of Order conjured in their minds an image of a horde of beasts charging in like a tidal wave.

Polti saw his Broken Claw and ran at the front, followed by a dense, countless herd of war beasts.

The Xenos come in various shapes, including a huge beast resembling Rhino with a bizarre face on its forehooves.

Xenos body of a lion, with its head on its belly, which sways back and forth as it runs.

Polti pulled a signal flare from his person, threw it, and the flare hit a meter in front of the booby trap before bursting into a blinding green light.

The wolf pack nimbly turned and ran to either side in front of the extended ring of the signal flare.

Most of the war beasts, however, did not have time to stop; they recklessly crashed into the booby trap zone.

Boom boom boom!

The buried Frag Grenade were detonated, tearing thousands of Tarellians to pieces in the explosion, the shockwave carrying the mangled limbs skyward.

"Fire!" Polti gave the order, and the rain of blood had no effect on the vision of the Shadow of Order.

Dense barrages of bullets blanketed the horde of war monsters, efficiently Reaping the Xenos.

Polti emptied magazine after magazine, and the Tarellians identification runes in his eyes disappeared rapidly.

The threat assessment in the Tactical Interface has been downgraded from "Medium Threat Level" to "Low Threat Level".

It wasn't until the Automatic Perception System assessed that the number of beasts had decreased to only 10.25% that the Xenos's primitive mind finally reacted.

The first lion-shaped Tarellians turned and fled, followed by more Xenos.

"Pursue!"

The Shadow of Order of the Catachan Order drew their Devil's Claw, their Power Sword unlike any other.

The pommel is a sharp bird's head, and the blade is a semi-serrated, cold steel tip.

The Catachan people call this type of Catachan Warblade the Devil's Claw, and their longest blade is 1.2 meters.

The officers of the 7th Legion and the Catachan Auxilia all replicated the blade form, forging Power Sword, but the Shadow of Order's were longer to match their bodies.

The Shadow of Order, like speeding tanks, caught up with the tail of the herd in an instant.

They wielded Devil's Claw, their Power Blade spinning rapidly as Reaping Xenos lives.

At the same time, the wolf pack moved in unison, with the Catachan Wolf galloping at high speed from both sides of the war pack, tearing at the lion-like Xenos running at the front.

The Tarellians tried to escape time and again, but were entangled by the Catachan Wolf' speed, and only a few managed to escape in the end.

In the fourth month of 837, the territory of the House Mordred, the most powerful family in Incaladion, was established.

Explosions continued, and rubble was everywhere.

Punisher-class Horned Viper Knight Mech, Abomination Rebel.

Victor, the patriarch of House Mordred, puts power into his drivetrain.

He saw yet another friendly rune disappear and shouted into the communicator.

"I have appealed to the Forge Temple for help, Sage have told me that Primarch Nimrod has dispatched God-Machine to our aid."

"Rescue will arrive soon, hang in there!"

Victor spoke quickly, and to give the knights the courage to fight the Titan, he sent a communication text to all the Knight Mech.

He gripped the Touch Glove tightly, struggling to control the Abomination Rebel and evade the attacks of the five rebel Titan.

After the rebels seized the Titan guarding the Forge Temple, and after a long period of repair and training of crew members, they dispatched the Titan to attack Mordred four standard hours ago.

The Victor family fought to the death, and although they managed to destroy four Titan thanks to their defensive structures, they also suffered heavy losses, losing twelve Knight Mech and a large amount of assets.

With a deafening roar, Victor bit his lip as the massive yellow War Engine surged toward Mordred's family knights from his left front.

He wielded a massive Chainsword, mercilessly slashing at his former comrades-in-arms.

The shattered Iron Hands slammed down in front of Victor, filling his mind with rage.

Victor raised the left arm of the Abomination Rebel and fired Flame Shell of vengeance at the God-Machine he once admired, now his enemy.

His precise skill allowed his cannonballs to accurately hit the Warlord-class Titan.

Boom boom boom!

The deafening roar of explosions and the explosive bursts of intense energy were deafening, but Victor showed no joy.

The Auspex on his crown sent a signal informing him that the Warlord-class Titan was unharmed.

Victor felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He knew that the Abomination Rebel was no match for the God-Machine, and his attacks hadn't even overloaded the Titan's Void Shield.

He gripped the Touch Glove and maneuvered the Abomination Rebel with astonishing agility, constantly changing direction and rapidly retreating.

The Victor Crown emitted a rapid alarm; he had been targeted by three Titan, and the rebels intended to kill the patriarch of the House Mordred first.

As Victor was consumed by despair, suddenly the Auspex flashed at a high frequency.

A tall, yellow War Engine came into his view.

That wasn't the striped yellow of Tiger Eye, but a shimmering golden yellow, the yellow of a "War Griffons."

The "War Griffons" Legion, commanded by Nimrod, was tasked with exploiting the Titan's status as God-Machine within the Adeptus Mechanicus to reclaim the various Knight Houses and assist in dismantling the enemy's heavily fortified strongholds.

Now, they only have one last objective: to rescue the House Mordred.

Titan after Titan entered the battlefield, launching a relentless attack on the rebel Titan with overwhelming numbers.

The overwhelming firepower suppressed the firepower of the Five Platforms rebel Titan.

Victor, who has escaped from dire straits, leads the knights of House Mordred, in coordination with the "War Griffons," to unleash the flames of vengeance upon their enemies.

When the forty-first War Griffons Titan entered the battlefield, all the rebel Titan were destroyed.
