Warhammer: In the Name of Nirvana

The Knights of Le Fay are a special terminator unit belonging to the Dawnbreaker Legion.

This is their name, their meaning, and their pride.

The Primarch personally created the framework, the Primarch personally selected the personnel, the Primarch personally formed the queue, the Primarch personally gave names and equipment, and finally, the Primarch personally approved the order and entered the battlefield.

Unless there is a direct verbal order from the Lord of Avalon, no one has the power to mobilize their power. They can defy the authority of the Legion Council, and they can also contradict any respected main company commander: they are the other members of the Gene Mother. A pro-army force is the heavy hammer that breaks the desperate situation for the legion. They will only appear on the most important battlefields and march without hesitation to the front lines that require the most courage and consciousness.

It is said that this duty originally belonged to the high-minded Old Guards, but they regard protecting the safety of the original body as the entire meaning of life, and have to regretfully reduce the number of times they take honors from war. The emergence of Le Fay Knight is to fill the vacancy caused by those elite terminators, and they have also proved that they are fully worthy of this expectation.

As a result, the Second Guards who could not protect the original body gained more honors and victories. Instead, they killed more people on the battlefield in the name of the Mother of Genes. This bloody result, But it is much more glorious and firm than blindly guarding the original body: at least, this is what every proud knight of Le Fay thinks.

Of course he is no exception.

Xia Ya raised the corners of her mouth.

The majestic and huge figure of the Terran veteran was like a death giant walking on the battlefield, attracting countless enemies to aim at him. Firepower and fury were launched like a violent storm, eager to take his blood, but these weak killing methods, It couldn't even break through the energy shield that was constantly flashing in front of him. It could only create ripples like raindrops hitting the dead water.

Only the destruction and shock waves fired from large-caliber artillery can temporarily penetrate the protection of the energy shield, leaving some white marks on the specially modified Terminator armor, but they cannot even scratch it. Those vermilion belt armors used to protect thighs and elbow joints, not to mention those large and multi-layered silver-white shoulder armors.

As for those more powerful potential threats, they will not even be allowed to happen: the [Double Collapse Destroyer] held in Char's left hand is a sacred object given to him personally by the Lord of Humanity. This kind of Weapons were originally only owned by the Imperial Guards of Terra, but during the Third Siege of Antioch in the Unification War, Char gained this unique honor as the first warrior to scale the city wall.

The finely crafted power sword he held tightly in his other hand was also an ancient relic left over from Terra: As the Second Legion established immediately following the First Legion, Morgan's descendants have never lacked history. , and there is no shortage of [Relic Weapons], which are the most symbolic of the legion’s ancient history.

"Pay attention, Char, you are walking too far forward. Pay attention to maintaining the formation: our mission at this stage is over. What we need to do next is to wait for the follow-up troops to catch up: they are almost here. "

"I know, Connery, I know our mission: have you seen those inner ring knights of the First Legion? Aren't they supposed to maintain the same front as us?"

"Who knows where they are: those Dark Angels? They are independent and independent. They are like this two hundred years ago and they will never change their ways."

"I saw them."

A third voice interjected.

"When we annihilated the enemy armored groups to shorten the front line, those inner ring knights handed over their front line to us. They were responsible for continuing to assault forward. By now, they should have put us and the subsequent large forces away for a while. Distanced: typical six-wing style, doing everything alone.”

"Really, they are all cavalry type, why are they so fast?"

"The First Legion always gets the best stuff and fights the toughest fights. Otherwise, why would we call it Big Brother? We're not like those hairless brats like the Luna Wolves."

Beside Char, Connery's voice came along with the sound of him adjusting the aiming system and the cyclone missile launcher: This idea originated from the [Glowing Spine Terminator Force] of the Ultramarines Legion, it was Ah One of the countless gifts brought back by the Lord of Valon when he visited Ultramar.

It is said that the Radiant Spine Terminator is the product of Guilliman imitating the Tyrant Siege of the Iron Warriors Legion: This view of back-and-forth learning was confirmed by the Sons of Perturabo who temporarily lived in the Dawnbreaker Legion. The words were filled with contempt for the poor imitation skills of a certain Lord of Ultramar.

However, the cyclone missile launcher belonging to the Le Fay Knights has undergone another major transformation: the Flame-Blooded Sect from Reza fully unleashed its creativity on this siege weapon, successfully Adding a plethora of deadly plasma warheads to the Le Fay Knights' arsenal of weaponry makes them, in effect, extremely efficient fortress scourges.

Of course, in addition to the fortress, other behemoths walking on the battlefield will also become the glorious trophies of the Knights of Le Fay: on the land walked by the vanguard of the Dawnbreakers, hundreds of war engines and self-propelled artillery Losing the vitality that allowed them to continue their madness, their broken corpses were randomly discarded on both sides of the battlefield. More numerous than them were countless heads and rotten flesh. Tens of thousands of mutated deformed bodies were killed by the empire. Crushed ruthlessly by sharp blades, the blood and acidic bile that filled the mountains and seas were enough to flood the sky, but they could not take away the precious life of any Le Fay knight.

And further away, at the end of the field of vision, the soaring black-red torches filled every inch of the sky, like the sons of Shirter who had fallen on the battlefield, each of them symbolizing the power and glory of the past. It symbolizes the great families that formed alliances with the human empire and followed the legion to fight in the galaxy. But now, these knights who have been deceived and betrayed have long lost their lives and even their souls, and the war beasts they are proud of are nothing more than It's just a walking zombie driven by calculation, inertia and dark memory.

Ending their suffering was a big project that the Knights of Le Fay found difficult, but after patiently waiting for reinforcements, they did not shed unnecessary blood for this purpose.

"Have you ever felt that the opponents we are facing are changing quietly: compared to a day ago, an hour ago, and now, whether it is quantity, quality, timing or even the degree of nausea, they are all increasing in a ladder. rising steadily."

"What, does this scare you?"

Char responded to his battle brother with a harmless ridicule, but there was not much joking relief on his face: with another pool of corrosive blood dripping on the sand at his feet, Knight Le Fay He only felt that the deadly weapon in his left hand had become hot, and the Terra sword had drank too much blood and became sticky and slightly sluggish.

It had been a long time since he had experienced such a long and disgusting battle. As his battle brothers said: with their footsteps approaching, there was an increasingly crazy wave of war. A few hours ago , they might be able to take a break and complete a rotation with the troops in the rear. But now, they don't even dare to adjust their front easily, because any negligence will cause these demonic waves in front of them to tear apart Asta in an instant. A strangulation trap carefully laid out by the special agents.

Even from the well-informed perspective of Terra veterans, these new enemies are absolutely indescribable products: although the earlier enemies were mutated ferocious beasts and aliens, they at least had stable forms and could be attacked. Classified as some kind of pathetic surgical creation, but now, what they face is neither an alien nor a man-made beast, nor a human being, but a monster made up of grotesque parts at will, a Frankenstein in Satan's heart. .

And the most frightening thing is: as the tip of the fortress gradually begins to emerge on the horizon, more and more individuals among the monsters who come to intercept them take on the appearance of Astartes, and even It's the body: those familiar features hang from the boneless neck, the iron-gray or dark blue eyes symbolizing the Eleventh Legion peek out from the holes covered with spikes and tentacles, and a picture Zhang's mouth, which was originally shouting empire and war cries, was now also screaming wildly.

They seem to be some kind of future, they seem to be what the Astartes are destined to be: no body, no individual, no soul and will that can be called self, just tools that are utilized to the maximum extent, only those that can be transformed and driven at will. free.

When these monsters appeared in front of them, they all seemed to hear an irresistible voice, whispering all this in their minds: and the whispers were often torn into pieces by more shrill roars.

The number of enemies is endless, and they can emerge from under your feet at any time. This war is different from every one Char has experienced, because it does not have the concept of [occupation]: The empire's army seems to have been surrounded by enemies. There is no rear and no safe area. Only the shouts of comrades are the only source of peace of mind.

And most of the time, this cry is just a roar caused by the enemy's arrival.

The most terrifying and insidious monsters can always take advantage of the continuous artillery fire to approach the Le Fay Knights. At this time, the Terra Sword will play its due role, and every time At this time, Char will regret that he did not choose the chain saw hammer in his preparations before the battle.

Knight Le Fay took a moment to decide whether to activate his plasma projection gauntlet, but the hostility emerging from his feet interrupted his thinking: Char turned sideways slightly, took a step back, The big sword in the palm fell almost at the same time, cutting off the head that was eager to stick out from the ground to the ground, and then another sword was used for insurance to ensure the death of this monster.

While completing this, he heard a harsh hissing sound like a kettle being boiled, coming from about fifty meters in front of him, like a reclusive monster breaking through the cave that bound it: Therefore, Knight Le Fay raised the [Double Collapse Destroyer] in his hand without any hesitation, without even glancing in that direction. Just by his footsteps and breathing distance, his instinct had already deduced The rough outline and vital points of the monster, and then he pulled the trigger.

The terrifying weapon originating from the Age of Strife emitted a deadly energy beam, penetrating the noisy battlefield: and then, there was no roar, no whisper, and no so-called desperate roar before death. It was all over.

After all, this cherished disintegrating weapon will only cause literal disintegration to any of its prey, and the only evidence that the guy who was hit once existed is that it has not completely disintegrated. It's just a bit of light and shadow before dissipating.

Char did not watch the death of this prey. He had killed thousands of enemies in this world. If each one of them required him to watch, he would not be able to complete what the Mother of Genes wanted until the end of the world. Task assigned: As the sharp blades of the legion, the Knights of Le Fay are all veterans who have served for more than two hundred years. They rely on physical instinctive reactions and mental tempering to fight. These invisible elements are even more powerful than... Their pupils themselves are more trustworthy.

In the further direction, frantic roars called for Morgan's heirs. Char clenched his weapon and cast his last glance at his colleagues behind him who were adjusting the cyclone missile launchers: there was neither conversation nor There are no gestures, everyone knows what they need to do now.

Continuous shooting from various palm firearms consumed the first wave, and then came the battlefield of various swords, power weapons and giant hammers: Char took less than a second to kill his first opponent, It was a mountain of meat that was three times taller than him. Its top looked like a ferocious orc head, but its body parts looked more like some kind of arthropod.

The next second.

When one of the heads of the two-headed wolf spider was chopped off, the other head was still spitting out unknown toxins, burning a small hole through the arm armor of the Iron Cavalry Terminator without damaging his skin.

Another second.

The monster that had an eerie resemblance to a jackal used its sharp teeth to jam the firearm in Char's hand triumphantly. Knight Le Fay did not bother with it, but overloaded his energy shield and pulled the trigger. , witnessed a grand decomposition performance up close.

One more second.

In a brief heartbeat, the wave of sinful flesh was like a scene from a horror movie, drowning all the knights standing in the first line until these sons of Morgan drew their swords and flashed with silver light. Flickering, harvesting the lives of batch after batch of miserable people.

This second was spent in exquisite massacre and perfect redemption. Some people bled, some retreated, and some silently swallowed the sweat dripping from their foreheads, but still no one died.

There won't be another second.

The heartbeats experienced a brief reincarnation, and they also completed a successful mission: without cheering or rejoicing, the Le Fay knights at the front cautiously retreated and returned to their military formation. Between them, the endless beasts The tide followed their footsteps closely, biting their shadows, but what greeted them turned into another form of massacre: dozens of cyclone missile launchers originally used to breach city walls and destroy fortresses were ready. , with the common war cry in the soul, the plasma wave swept across the battlefield like a raging storm.

At the last second, the battle ends.

Char wanted to say this, but the scene in front of him was somewhat tortuous: the fanatical plasma wave did not kill all the opponents. Although the deformed flesh waves turned into a puddle of flesh and blood, they were still squirming. Reorganizing, trying hard to transform into a more deadly existence, an opponent more worthy of challenge.

However, Chevalier Le Fay is here to kill, not to challenge.

As a result, the queue dispersed slightly, and the battle brothers who were originally in the third row stepped forward. The three people walking in the front held their hellfire spears high, while the remaining ones also held the same super spears. High-temperature long-range flamethrowing weapons, the red tongue of the Anvil God was released in their silent roar, and the flames that could melt everything brought a brief rest to the battle.

"These flames will not go out until the end of this war: remind the follow-up troops to bypass here. In addition, I think we need to find a new route of advance."

"I'm doing."

"You seem to be in poor condition. Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay for the time being. My Le Fay Crown hasn't issued a warning yet, and my mind is still clear. But I have a very bad feeling: it's not about the enemies in front of me, but about what's behind us. I always feel like there's something wrong with us." A dangerous atmosphere is coming from behind us."

"Me too: but let's trust the battle brothers behind us."

"..."

Xia Ya did not respond to this sentence. He just remained silent and touched the undecorated crown on top of his head: This [Le Fay Crown] is the same as the specially modified cavalry type Terminator Armor. It is the standard equipment of the Knight of Lefay, and its value is more precious than all the relic-level weapons worn by these battlefield massacres.

There is no other reason for this: because every Le Fay crown is hand-made by the Primarch of the Dawnbreaker. Even the title of Le Fay Knight comes from this crown, and its function is very simple and direct. , it is precisely because of the protection of Le Fay's Crown that the Le Fay Knights can ignore the powerful mind control stance lingering in every corner of the Dead Star and walk on the edge of war.

Char didn't know what kind of methods the inner ring knights who rushed forward than them used to avoid being invaded by the mind control stance, but presumably they were not as good as the crown on their heads.

Thinking of this, a trace of pride flashed through Knight Le Fay's supposedly calm heart, but before this trace of pride could dissipate, the dull message from the battle brothers shattered the remaining gap after the battle. .

"All of them."

So it comes from Gross: the generally recognized chief among the knights of Le Fay. His whispers come to the ears of every son of Morgan along with the communication system and the wind.

"I think our rest time is coming to an end, everyone: the brother troops in the rear just received a communication. They were attacked by an unknown force, or it was an indiscriminate attack. According to the think tanks, then Planting something seems to be called...a devil?"

"demon?"

Dozens of confused voices sounded simultaneously in the communication.

"Demon? The last time I heard this name was during the Moranson War. The priest king we defeated in the Nordic region said that he would summon demons from the subspace to kill us all."

"I also remember the Battle of Red Blood. The entire Thunder Warrior Legion was deployed for the first time. Who can forget their strength, but shouldn't this be a rumor?"

"I don't know if it's a rumor, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the priest king who has been dead for more than two hundred years."

Gross interrupted his subordinates forcefully. He stood on a high place and looked behind them worriedly: there were billowing smoke and dust and the roar of war. Then, he looked in front of them: The scenes there are surprisingly similar.

"The current situation is that there is an army of demons behind our battle lines, attacking us and the enemy indiscriminately. Although their main target of attack is our enemy, we will not receive assistance for a while. ”

"So? We don't necessarily need their assistance, right?"

"I thought so a few minutes ago."

The seriousness in Gross's words made every knight instinctively frown.

"But just now, the inner ring knights walking in front of us sent us a warning: they are evacuating in our direction. You know how terrifying the thing that can make those Dark Angels evacuate will be."

"What is it?"

"Titans: In other words, they are driven by flesh and blood, something similar to Titans. Behind them are the largest flesh and blood army we have ever predicted."

"Very good, a flesh and blood army, and a Titan, warlord level?"

"It is indeed a warlord level..."

Gross took a deep breath.

"But not one."

"It's a group of..."

"..."

"..."

"You won't forget that before that damn bastard betrayed the empire, he signed cooperation agreements with many Titan legions, right?"

"Do we need to retreat?"

"Are you kidding? The original body has not given the order to retreat. If we evacuate here without authorization, what is the difference between us and the old guards? So, listen, everyone, we have to stick to this place temporarily and wait for the inner peace. The confluence of the ring knights, and then..."

"Contact the second batch of battle queues behind us and tell them that now we need to use the big guys they have been guarding: tell them to use the transmission beacon given to us by the Mother of Genes, based on our position here. Target, fifty people activate the teleportation beacon at the same time, enough to lift those big guys."

"Come here."

"The sooner the better."
