Diagnosed as a Full-Blown Battle Maniac
You could say that the nobles of the Imperium are all useless.
But one must never slander a noble knight who sits on Mechanical throne and pilots Knight Mech!
Indeed, a large portion of the Imperium nobility were greedy; they were vicious and cruel, exploiting the blood and tears of the lower classes.
The exploitation within some knightly families far surpassed that of the Middle Ages; the extent of their oppression was simply indescribable, a story so full of blood and tears that it defies description.
Similarly, what if your world is invaded by Chaos?
As the Chaos army streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing onto the earth, forests, and grasslands, roaring with the might of the Chaos Gods, they wantonly sowed the seeds of fear and chaos, allowing the curse of the Warp to spread.
Without a doubt, the first to stand up and fight for the common people and for their homes were those noble knights!
They were brutal, fierce, and warlike, and never feared death!
The knight sitting on the Mechanical throne can charge for the Emperor, even if it means fighting against millions of stars!
Many true knights, in the end, or rather, in the end they aspire to, find their ultimate destiny in a worthwhile battle, to give their all, including their life and soul, for the great Emperor!
Every knight, upon entering the battlefield, sets an example and becomes a banner leading the charge!
Of course, from Alvin's perspective, he thought the most likely reason was that these people were going crazy from being cooped up in their families and were just waiting to come out and have some fun.
And so he watched helplessly as the "Viper-class Knight" broke free from the protection of its attendants.
Judging from his running posture, he resembled a husky let loose, and plunged into the crowd in one go.
Good heavens, just how long has it been since they were released?
But it seems not entirely incomprehensible.
The Viper-class Knight are melee-oriented and are known for their speed, strength, and unpredictable, difficult-to-control Machine Spirit.
These types of riders are often driven by the most impulsive and glory-seeking member of the family.
Their high mobility makes these knights the most eye-catching "stars" on the battlefield.
Wherever a "Viper-class Knight" appears, it is usually the most dangerous area. For example, that pure white "Horned Kui Class Knight" actually rode alone and broke into the encirclement of the Genestealer Guard!
His target was the "Archbishop" of the Genestealer Cult, who was protected by a guard!
The archbishop is the highest leader of the sect, the most trusted person of the "patriarch," and is often the chief Psyker. He is also the "mastermind" who controls the Tyran Psychic Power network and directs and manipulates the entire war!
Once he is beheaded, victory in the entire war can be declared.
However, the royal guard surrounding the archbishop was no pushover either; they all inherited the agility of the Tyranid Swarm.
Although knights pose little threat on the front lines, that doesn't mean they can act with impunity.
At least, in front of those royal guards with Psychic Power, if the person piloting that Viper-class Knight is too reckless and brainless, it is very possible that they will be torn to pieces by those royal guards!
While Alvin was worrying about him, he soon realized that he was worrying for nothing.
In the distance, several knights began providing coordinated fire support. The Melta Cannon that filled the sky, along with rapid-fire cannons and plasma annihilation weapons, swept away the "obstacles" in front of the "Viper Class" in an instant.
What kind of Genestealer?
To put it bluntly, it's just a moving lump of "protein"—it lacks firepower and relies solely on numbers and chance.
On the main battlefield, the only way to stop the "Knight" is for the Tyranid Swarm to come.
Otherwise, let alone a group of Genestealer, if the Haarken Worldclaimer had run a little slower, all two thousand-plus Chaos Raptors would have died here!
"Die!!!"
A youthful roar erupted from that "Viper Class Knight.
Immediately afterwards, Alvin witnessed the knight, who seemed like a "husky" that had broken free of its reins, forcefully wielding his shock lance and turning the archbishop who was casting Warp Sorcery into a bloody mist with a single spear thrust, leaving not even a trace behind!
What kind of trash is this, daring to act arrogantly in front of the knights?
Your Psychic Power are powerful, but the problem is that you can't even break through the knight's Ion Shield.
There's no way around it; they're just too familiar with dealing with these kinds of cults and Genestealer.
The Kalon Knight Homeland "refreshes" a new batch of knights almost every few years, and the High King seems quite happy to let the young knights in the family be selected to experience the world.
Over time, the knights of the Kalon Family have accumulated experience in dealing with these types of enemies.
With the help of the "Kalon" Knight Family, the Genestealer Cult surrounding Celerus finally tasted the bitter fruit of defeat, especially after the Archbishop was killed by a spear. The infected, who had lost communication, began to flee.
It seems that Celerus's crisis has been resolved.
However, Alvin was still worried and personally led the Honor Guard and the Punisher Legion into the depths of the Hive City.
At that moment, the knight piloting the "Viper Class" suddenly spotted Alvin's whereabouts.
After pondering for half a second, the driver followed without hesitation.
Alvin was somewhat surprised to find a Knight Mech following him, but then he heard the pilot's voice coming from the communication array.
"Good brother, I'll clear the way for you!"
As they spoke, the Horned Viper Knight, wielding his shock lance, began firing in short bursts.
Yes, that thing that looks like a fire poker, although it appears to be a melee weapon, can also fire ion beams.
This thing not only has decent firepower, but also, due to its extremely high rate of fire, it can even be used for anti-aircraft defense!
Wait, bro?
Alvin was a little puzzled. When did he get a "good brother"?
"You haven't forgotten me, have you?!" Clearly, the knight keenly noticed the blank look on Alvin's face.
Suddenly, Alvin felt as if the air around him was enveloped in an atmosphere of "awkwardness"!
He had truly forgotten when he had first seen this "crazy husky".
"And yet I've been thinking about you all this time," a voice, filled with the resentment of a wronged woman, echoed from the Viper Class: "And you've actually forgotten about me! I'm so heartbroken, my friend!"
"Uh, have we met somewhere before?"
Alvin sat in the car, trying hard to recall, but to no avail.
"I am Herbert Kalon." Whether it was a misperception or not, Alvin saw a hint of resentment in the knight's "eyes": "Have you forgotten? I even attended your succession ceremony!"
Oh, I remember now!
Alvin immediately remembered that he seemed to have met such a "friend" during his succession ceremony.
However, when Kalon rushed over, he didn't encounter any significant battles, and after being assassinated, he quickly turned and left.
Unexpectedly, they ran into each other again on Alert Star!
"I'm sorry, I've been so busy lately, I didn't realize it was you for a moment." Alvin apologized sincerely, after all, the other person had helped him, and besides, making an acquaintance with a knight was a great thing.
"Fine, I forgive you."
Herbert strode forward, keeping pace with their vehicles.
"Excuse me for asking, but are you sure it's alright for you to break away from your attendants and rush out like this?" Alvin asked cautiously.
You should know that the High King of the Kalon Family might be inside the Drop Fortress.
This guy rashly broke away from his attendants and rushed in with him; logically speaking, this violates family rules. Is it really okay?
But, to everyone's surprise Herbert suddenly gave a strange laugh, "Of course there's a problem. I'll most likely be scolded for doing this. If anything happens to this Knight Mech, I'm afraid I'll bear an inescapable responsibility!"
"Then why?"
Before Alvin could ask, Herbert's voice, seemingly full of meaning, rang out. "Bullying those Genestealer is pointless. I haven't had enough fun yet. My intuition tells me that following you will lead to some very exciting battles!"
Great, the diagnosis is now confirmed.
This kid is an absolute lunatic. I suggest throwing him next door so he can experience what it's like to be a madman!
