Per Koschelny, leading his Fifth Company, landed in Sector C-10 and launched an attack on the Rangdan building.

Not long ago, he was promoted to "Barbarian". His strong body was similar to that of the Shadow of Order of the Catachan of the 7th Legion and the Beyonder of the 8th Legion.

"Librarian!" Per shouted in the team chat.

Ramsey and the other three Librarian were scattered at different positions along the front line. They raised their left arms and channeled Psionic Energy into the heart-shaped devices in their hands.

The Psionic Energy surged outwards, and hundreds of the Slave Army immediately halted in their tracks.

"Attack!" Per raised his hand and fired a shot that struck the first man in the face, sending bone fragments, hair, and brain matter flying everywhere.

The meaningless kill brought Per no honor.

He continued forward and fired at the second man's chest.

Per pressed the Runic Rune with his right hand, swung his sword, and charged into the enemy ranks. With each Slave Army he killed, his hatred for the Xenos grew stronger.

After annihilating the Slave Army, as he inspected the factory, a sorrowful voice rang out in the Chapter's command channel.

"Lord Bradshaw is dead."

Per continued swinging his sword, taking a moment to confirm that the speaker was the captain of the Chapter Master's guard.

The news of the Chapter Master's death reached all the company commanders and adjutants of the 11th Chapter.

The flames of revenge burned in Per's heart. He checked the interface in his helmet and immediately confirmed that the guards were two kilometers away at the eleven o'clock position.

Per handed over the factory's defenses to the Fifth Company the 2nd Regiment of the Vostonia Auxilia, who were following up, and then led his company to charge toward Sector C-14.

During the journey, after a rapid exchange with the captain of the guard and other commanders, he switched to the company command channel and spoke.

"A new type of Xenos has appeared. They are skilled in using Psionic Energy and have demonstrated both mental attacks and Psionic Energy in combat."

"..."

After listening to Per's explanation, Ramsey said, "I will create an opportunity for you; you must quickly kill the Xenos Overlord."

The Shadow of Order marched swiftly to the alien building, where explosions emanated from within, indicating that the guards were engaged in combat with the Xenos.

After exchanging a glance with Ramsey, Per launched his attack.

Upon entering the Xenos building, Per immediately locked onto the Overlord based on the enemies marked by the guards.

The Overlord lay on the golden petals, his Scorpion Tail locked around the neck of a guard, lifting him high into the air.

The tail hook split open, and the petals, like gaping maws, burrowed into the neck, sucking up blood.

"Now! Charge!"

Ramsey's voice rang in Per's ears, and without a moment's hesitation, he immediately rushed toward the Overlord's side.

Ramsey swung his blue Psionic Energy staff, unleashing a Psychic Lightning.

Rangdan Overlord's personal energy shield crackled and then shattered.

The Biomancy Psyker raised his left arm, his hand loosely clenched.

Rangdan Overlord's Blood Boiling instantly, his body trembled incessantly, but his tail hook was weak and powerless.

His massive body tumbled and fell along the metal petals, letting out an angry roar.

Per charged toward the Overlord, when suddenly two Rangdan Warrior leaped down and attacked him.

The "Barbarian" roared, his enhanced lungs surging out a "Wild Howl" that reverberated in the Xenos's mind.

The two Rangdan Warrior crashed to the ground and fell unconscious.

Rangdan Overlord had just gotten up from the ground, swayed and almost fell.

In an instant, the "Barbarian" pounced on him, raising his longsword in the seventh way of the "Osberh-Vaya" technique.

Power Blade was about to strike the Rangdan Overlord, his blood-yellow eyes flashed, and Telekinesis gathered in front of him.

The Disruption Field collided with the Force Shield.

Rangdan Overlord, turned cold and let out a piercing scream.

Per instantly ascended to the first level of Mindset, his spirit enhanced by the "Barbarian" ability, and remained unaffected.

He deliberately paused, making the Rangdan Overlord think he was suffering a mental shock.

Just as the Rangdan Overlord raised his Scorpion Tail, he suddenly charged forward at full speed, instantly appearing in front of the Rangdan Overlord.

The "Barbarian" let out a Roar of Fury. Caught off guard, the Rangdan Overlord felt the roar echo in his mind, and Venus flashed before his eyes.

The "Barbarian" raised his Power Blade and plunged it into the tiger's head.

The Disruption Field shredded the head of the Rangdan Overlord, Per let out a triumphant roar.

The Rangdan Warrior witnessed the death of their Overlord and were terrified, falling into chaos.

The captain of the guard reported this in the Chapter's command channel after seeing Per kill the Overlord.

"Per avenged Chapter Master Bradshaw by killing the Xenos Overlord."

"He was a member of the Primarch's Honor Guard and received instruction from the Primarch."

"Per is still a lord of the Royal Court, a knight above the Chapter, but following his father's orders, he will temporarily serve as the Chapter Master, leading us to capture the Xenos's Artificial War Satellite."

The commanders' responses immediately came through the command channel.

First Company Captain Gibbs was the first to speak, "I agree."

Second Company Captain Kirkland immediately replied, "I will obey Per's orders."

Third Company Captain Chambers: "I accept Per's leadership."

"..."

Per did not retreat; he immediately assumed the role of temporary Chapter Master, commanding the 11th Chapter to launch an attack.

While the Fourth and 11th Chapter launched a full-scale offensive against the defenders of the Artificial War Satellite, the Expeditionary Fleet also crushed the Rangdan warships with overwhelming superiority.

With the Shadow of the Throne and the Arbitrator at its core, the Expeditionary Fleet entered low-altitude orbit.

Lance, energy weapons, kinetic weapons, and bombardment artillery were aimed at the ground, and the massive weapon systems flashed as they launched a devastating bombardment of the surface.

A beam of light pierced the gray sky, and the earth trembled and roared.

A saturation barrage of artillery shells tore the fortress apart.

The Rangdan army huddled in the spiderweb-like caves of the Spiral- Morse main star, relying on energy shields to barely hold on against the Thunder attacks.

The Third Legion and the "Mordian Iron Guard" completed their landing with virtually no interference.

They deployed a line 100 kilometers wide and launched a full-scale attack on Rangdan's cave.

As always, the Rangdan Overlord led a massive army of slaves out of the cave and launched an attack.

Inside the Vostonia-type command vehicle, Bukayo House Arshavin calmly issued the attack order as he watched the surging army of slaves approach.

The twenty regiments of the "Mordian Iron Guard" opened fire first with their Bellerophon Battle Tank.

Cannonballs roared and crashed into the surging tide of the slave army.

At the point where each shell landed, dozens, even hundreds, of the Slave Army were torn apart by the shockwave.

No slaves stopped in their tracks; enslaved by the Neural Collar, they felt no fear and would not cease their advance.

The 16th to 20th Regiments on the right flank of the front line had heavy flamethrowers mounted on the sides of their tanks, spewing out burning Promethium molten streams, creating streaks of fire that rushed straight towards the slave army.

The slaves, charging forward, crashed into the sea of fire and were burned to ashes without uttering a sound.

The Warrior, led by Rangdan Overlord, activated their personal energy shields and advanced against the molten flames.

At the position of the Third Company of the 19th Regiment of the "Mordian Iron Guard", the Overlord suddenly rushed to a Bellerophon Battle Tank, swung the energy sword in his hand, and slashed at the vehicle.

The light blade sliced through the steel chassis, and the Overlord then cleaved the crew members in two at the waist with another strike.

San Jago Bergkamp of the 5th Legion marks the Rangdan Warrior with runes in the Eyepiece system.

"Fire!"

The Shadow of Order raised their Bolter and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the Rangdan Warrior.

He raised his Archaeotech Pistol and aimed it at the Overlord.

The scorching, deadly ray was only as thick as a finger, yet it was more lethal than the fire dragon of Promethium, shattering the Overlord's personal energy shield.

Santiago raised his hand and fired another shot, the beam striking precisely the prism-like, bizarre head of the Overlord.

[I slew the fourth Overlord, and thus earned the right to become a member of the Order of the Broken Claw.]

On the left flank of the front, the 11th to 15th Chapter the "Mordian Iron Guard" were equipped with two Heavy Bolter mounted on the sides of the Belik Battle Tank.

Heavy Bolter roared and fired in unison, and the slave army was Reaping the shockwave of the explosions, like wheat in Agri World.

Wilshire saw the unbridled Xenos charging through a hail of bullets, and he also saw the human slaves driven to their deaths.

Flames flared in the Lord of Light's eyes as he shouted into the Second Legion's communications channel.

"Shadow of Order!"

How dare the Xenos enslave humanity like this?

"Their existence tarnishes the glory of the Primarch; they must be Purification!"

Wilshire silently and devoutly chanted in his heart: [For the Black Emperor!]

The Shadow of Order shouted in unison, "For the Primarch, Purification the Xenos!"

The "Bard" of the Second Legion sang loudly, leading the Shadow of Order in an attack on the Rangdan Warrior.

Wilshire charged toward the Xenos Overlord with a tiger's head Scorpion Tail. In an instant, he put on the "War Mask," channeling his rage into power as he swung his relic, the Thunder Hammer.

A wild force, savagely shattering personal energy shields.

The Overlord was taken aback. He raised his Scorpion Tail and sprayed out a foul-smelling liquid.

The "Light Worshipper" rubbed his unarmored left hand together, and a golden flame spontaneously ignited, incinerating the filthy poison.

Wilshire leaped onto the Overlord's head, his gleaming Thunder Hammer slamming down on his skull.

The Disruption Field hissed and smashed the Overlord's tiger head to pieces.
