Protective Orb's Blessing, Ring Weapons Kill Enemies

The 9th standard month of 842.

The Coronid Abyss, Manache System, Manachia.

The Soothsayer Flamini, who was about to turn ten, led his followers to escape danger once again in the sewers.

He looked around and saw that his followers had dropped from a peak of five thousand to just over four hundred.

Most of them were used as fuel for the Xenos, evil Arcane Machine, and he could hear their terrified screams from the Aether tides.

Flamini's face bore a weariness and Affliction beyond his years.

He heard their cries for help, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Flamini had no idea how long this endless escape would last.

His predictions don't always yield the desired results, and his interpretations may be Error.

Flamini made many Error; no one taught him, he relied on talent, trial and error, and reflection.

He took a deep breath, and as the stench filled his nostrils, he cast aside his negative emotions.

Flamini looked around and then walked toward the pipe.

"Let's rest here for a while."

He found a relatively clean spot in the metal pipes and sat cross-legged.

Flamini's eyes were deep, his thoughts probing into the Warp, searching for hope in a series of colorful images.

Over the past few years, he has made countless predictions, but has never found any new hope.

But Flamini did not give up; he believed he would eventually find it.

His gaze swept across the blood-red scene, which showed the Mitu throwing humans into various machines and burning them.

Flamini struggled to control himself, refusing to show grief or anger at witnessing the deaths of his kind, knowing that would attract predators from the Warp.

He felt enveloped in icy cold, hallucinations appeared before his eyes, and whispers echoed in his ears.

Flamini knew that his will had reached its limit and he had to end the premonitions immediately.

A bitter smile appeared on his face; once again, he had found no hope.

Just then, he saw a dark shadow envelop the Blood Red orb of light belonging to the Mitu.

Flamini chased after the shadow and then saw an unassuming marble building, followed by a beam of bright light.

His consciousness returned to reality immediately, his body drenched in cold sweat.

Flamini's entire attention was focused on the final, premonitory image, which evoked childhood memories.

At that time, he had not yet awakened his Psionic Energy, and his family, along with many other families, were crammed into that dilapidated building.

Compared to the sewers, that place was like paradise; more importantly, he still had his parents there.

Flamini's eyes lit up as he interpreted the vision he had foreseen. "I hope it's related to shadows; I can find it in my childhood home."

He couldn't quite grasp the meaning of the light, but ultimately regarded it as a beacon of hope.

Flamini hesitated. The Mitu would never allow Psyker to live; going to the surface was tantamount to walking towards the butcher's knife.

Having made countless predictions, he also knew that what he foresaw might not be what was about to happen.

Just as Flamini hesitated, he felt a huge shadow approaching.

Flamini was familiar with the immense shadow that had loomed over Manache years before, when Warp surged in the warp.

[Shadow...]

Flamini whispered silently to himself, "The omen has already occurred."

He suddenly stood up. "Come with me, I will lead you to hope."

The emaciated followers rose to their feet, their eyes shining, and followed the Soothsayer.

At the same time, after a long voyage, the Ramillies-class Star Fortress arrived in the Manache system, towed by Tug.

The Eleventh Legion's fleet then jumped to the real world, deploying its forces centered on Star Fortress.

As the capital of the Mitu United Empire, the Manache system is home to the largest fleet of the Mitu.

Thousands of Mitu warships immediately turned their cannons on the colossal object in the void.

Countless beams of light shot towards the Bastion-class Energy Shield.

In response to the provocation, thousands of thermonuclear fusion warhead torpedoes were launched from the central region of the Ramirez-class destroyer.

Atomic flames tore apart the hulls of dozens of Mitu- class battleships, and the void burned fiercely.

More cluster-warhead torpedoes were unleashed at the Mitu warship, seemingly endless and inexhaustible.

The thrusters, larger than the entire destroyer, emitted a blazing Red Light, burning like the Sun.

The Ramillies-class Star Fortress's Bastion-class Energy Shield withstood countless beams of light, smashed through the torpedo-torn wreckage of enemy ships, and steadily advanced.

The terrifying gun corps rained down massive shells upon the Mitu warship.

The Eleventh Legion's fleet advanced alongside the Star Fortress, its bows unleashing fierce Lance that crisscrossed and covered dozens of spherical warships.

In a fleeting moment, dozens of warships shone like burning stars before vanishing without a trace.

The entire void of the galaxy was illuminated, Ramillies-class Star Fortress finally took hold in its high orbit above Manachia.

The sky above Manachia was instantly illuminated by flashes of light. The overwhelming barrage of torpedoes and dense barrages was intercepted by the Mitu's anti-aircraft fire, and explosions erupted in the air.

But this was just the beginning. The Eleventh Legion's fleet slowed down and entered orbit, with more turrets and Lance Battery joining the bombardment.

The bombing lasted for a full stellar month before the Mitu's anti-aircraft firepower was reduced to a level where they could launch a landing operation.

The five Chapter of "Shadow of Order" that participated in the battle then launched an orbital drop.

The Rogue Trader Lewis von Lewis assembled his armed forces and joined the First Chapter.

The First Chapter, having participated in the Incaladion campaign and the First Rangdan War, and stationed at the Osiris Cluster, was the smallest of the participating Chapter, with only seven companies and 6,900 Shadow of Order soldiers.

They were ordered to launch an attack on the fifth largest city in Mitu, as confirmed by the Auger Matrix scan.

The officers in Lewis's armed forces were officers from the Vostonia Auxilia whom he had hired at great expense.

Although they had to retire due to injuries and other reasons, they were favored by Rogue Trader.

Lewis was able to successfully hire these officers not only because of the salaries he offered, but also because he was Rogue Trader the Monarch valued most.

The Warrior were recruited from several wild worlds, received rigorous training from officers, and were equipped with sophisticated weapons procured from the Vostonia Armory.

Chief Warrior Kavuzinski was the only Vostonia Auxilia commander recruited by Lewis.

During the battle to Purification Orsenx, he destroyed an Andrew Robot, but was then struck by an energy beam that took away his legs.

After Kavuzinski received a prosthetic leg, he was deemed unable to meet the requirements for continued service during physiological function tests and was forced to retire.

He was granted entry into Paragon City because of his meritorious service.

Furthermore, because of the Orsenx Commemorative Medal, one can obtain a land area of one hundred kilometers on Cité Prime.

Kavuzinsky eventually chose a residence in the Mid Hive of the city of Paragon City, and, thanks to his medals, sent his five children to school in the Upper Hive.

He himself, unwilling to endure a boring retirement life, was also attracted by the prospect of changing Rogue Trader prosthetic body, which was specially designed for him, and joined the exploration team.

Lewis paid Kavuzinski 1.5 million Monarch Coin, three times the amount he received in retirement.

After adaptive training, he found that he had almost the same agility as before.

The dense barrage of bullets fired by the Shadow of Order awakened Kavuzinski's past memories. He saw the Mitu being torn apart by booming bombs and scattering in all directions, and then he spoke.

"Lord Lewis, the Monarch's son has broken through the defenders' lines; it is time to attack."

"Okay," the Rogue Trader said into the communication channel, pressing the Communication Bead.

"Warriors of von Valensius, for centuries the Mitu Xenos have perpetrated atrocities against our fellow human beings."

"Today, we will punish them with death! Attack!"

The Rogue Trader raised his Vostonian-pattern Lasgun and fired a devastating beam at the evil Xenos.

Lewis's hard work on the training deck was evident as the beam of light shone precisely on the Mitu soldiers.

After breaching two city blocks, the von Valensius family's armed forces discovered a high-value strategic objective: the Mitu's Arcane Factory.

After a moment's thought, Lewis decided to attack the Arcane Factory.

Such a victory will add a shining chapter to the history of the von Valensius family.

Lewis stroked the magnificent armor's chest and the Protective Orb hanging from his waist, his confidence growing even stronger.

The chief Warrior spearheaded the charge, raising his Vostonian-pattern Lasgun as he ran and firing at the guards.

A series of beams struck precisely, and the sea anemone's body disintegrated and fell to the ground.

Lewis and Kavuzinski rush into the spherical factory, where they witness humans being driven into bizarre circular devices by the Mitu Xenos.

He angrily swept a guard down and was about to rush toward the nearest device.

Suddenly, two Mitu with four pairs of arms and legs rushed towards them.

Lewis immediately recalled the information provided by the Shadow of Order, knowing that they were elite Mitu soldiers skilled in close combat.

The chief Warrior was the first to react. He fired several beams at the Xenos, but when he found that he could not break through the strange energy shield, he drew his Power Sword and pressed the Runic Rune.

Lewis saw the chief Warrior, wielding the "Osberh-Vaya" Power Sword, block a Mitu Warrior.

Although he had received instruction and mastered some sword skills, he lacked the confidence to defeat the elite Mitu Warrior.

Lewis saw the Mitu Warrior approaching, he immediately raised his left hand and activated his Ring Weapons.

With a bang, Lewis felt the recoil, like that of Autogun.

A blinding Lance of flame flew toward the Mitu Warrior.

Lewis was overjoyed. Arsena Dunn told him that each Ring Weapons could only launch one type of attack.

However, there are many types of Ring Weapons, and the attack effects of the Ring Weapons he obtains are uncertain.

Lewis was also told that after each attack, the Ring Weapons needed a certain amount of time before it could be used again, which he understood as a recharging process.

Because the charging time varies depending on the ring, he abandoned the idea of conducting the test.

I'm so lucky.

Praise be to Lord Nimrod!

As Lewis pondered, he saw the flaming Lance pierce through the energy shield of the Mitu Warrior, as if the smoke had dissipated.

[Oops!]

Lewis discovered that the Eyepiece he wore over his right eye could not detect the Mitu Warrior in the smoke.

He immediately retreated, but the Mitu Warrior attacked even faster.

Six longswords shrouded in smoke slashed towards Lewis.

Lewis was caught off guard, but an energy shield rose out of thin air and protected him inside.

Boom boom boom!

A loud collision rang out. After realizing that the Xenos's attack had failed to break through the Protective Orb's defenses, Lewis once again thanked Lord Nimrod in his heart and then extended his left middle finger.

Dozens of ice spikes shot out, smashing the Mitu Xenos into a pulp.

After Lewis dealt with a Mitu Warrior, he saw the chief Warrior kill Mitu Xenos with a single slash.

While the Rogue Trader were rescuing their fellow humans, Flamini found himself in crisis within the main city of Mitu.

Upon first setting foot on the ground, the Mitu were thrown into chaos by an aerial attack, but the procession still progressed relatively smoothly.

But after traveling five kilometers, they were inevitably discovered by the Mitu Warrior.
