As for the Ironfist Ambassador, while advancing steadily, he also acquired a sharp War Axe to use. When faced with particularly tough rocks or iron walls that are hard to crush, the Beheading Axe can slash down fiercely.
Inspired by the Brother Battle Group, Bach’er personally led his troops into battle.
His Terminator Squad, maneuvering through gaps in the advancing Iron Wall Formation, charged deep into the enemy lines and pierced the Green Skins’ defenses. The warriors of the Steel Bone Butcher, wielding Chainsaw Axes, ford a deadly vortex, tearing through the enemy.
In their rapid advance, they didn’t bother with any lingering enemies, as the Ironfist Ambassador trailing behind would easily crush them.
Bach’er felt he hadn’t killed with such thrill and ease for a long ti.
He wielded two War Axes, slashing with abandon like a bloody butcher, decapitating one Beastman after another beneath his axes.
The distinctive stench of Beastn suddenly intensified.
With a backward slash, Bach’er split open a Jumping attacker, splattering the Steel Skull Badge on the shoulder of his Power Armor with foul green blood.
He paused to observe and looked toward the source of the sll.
Seemingly aware of the Battle Group Leader’s gaze, the hidden enemy revealed themselves.
"Waaagh!!"
A deafening roar reverberated, making the ground roll like waves. An Orc Warlord, crouched in Super Heavy Armor and at least five ters tall, mounted a charging Skugg Beast, riding it into a charge. His rust-covered, exceedingly long War Blade, used like a lance, quickly tore through two charging Lion Tanks with just two slashes. Three Steel Bone Butchers attempting to attack him were swiftly eliminated by his well-aid Heavy Hand Cannon.
Even with support from the Ironfist Ambassador’s Heavy Bombs nearby, it only slightly slowed the death of those three Butchers, not altering the outco.
The strength of the Orc Warlord must be acknowledged.
But now that he has shown himself, it ans the biggest target of this battle has appeared.
Bach’er glanced over the battlefield, the Steel Bone Butchers continued their advance, and the Ironfist Ambassadors maintained their iconic Iron Wall Formation at a slight distance.
His old friend, Ironfist Battle Captain Ouyi, was in the nearest formation.
Ouyi also sensed his gaze, and his voice ca through the helt’s communicator with a hint of laughter:
"Old rules?"
Bach’er suddenly recalled the scene of them jointly slaying an Insect Nest Tyrant when they were young, and the doubt in his heart faded like morning mist in the sunlight. He heavily pounded his chest plate, and the Steel Bone Butchers imdiately ford into three sharp wedge formations, with him leading the fastest squad.
The Ironfist Ambassador’s heavy artillery arrived promptly, sequentially striking the Skugg Beast, causing it to roar wildly. A nearby Iron Wall Formation suppressed with Heavy Bombs, damaged it with Thermite Cannons, and lted through the beast’s right forelimb knee, forcing it to kneel.
Under the cover of artillery, the Steel Bone Butchers fiercely approached. War Axes flew, striking the beast while bullets were fired at the Warlord on it.
Bach’er, along with two trusted aides, climbed onto the Skugg Beast’s back, moving toward the Warlord.
With a few moves, he completely adopted a reckless style, repeatedly hitting with the Chainsaw Axe, and even getting it stuck at the armor seams of the opponent, the flying sparks staining the eyepiece blood red.
It was dangerous, but Bach’er trusted his old friend.
Sure enough, a familiar battle cry suddenly ca from below—the slightly later advancing Iron Wall Formation actually used a human ladder to send Ouyi into the air. The Battle Group Leader’s Phase Sword shone with a faint, dangerous green glow.
When the Warlord attempted to seriously injure Bach’er, Ouyi’s Phase Sword cleaved off its arm.
"For the Emperor!!"
The two Battle Group Leaders roared in unison and exerted their strength!
Their weapons simultaneously pierced into the massive body of the Orc Warlord!
Amongst the dull sound of the skull shattering, Bach’er heard the clash of steel and iron, reminiscent of when they charged together beneath the glacier.
As the Warlord collapsed with a loud crash, he saw Ouyi’s foot stomping on the Orc Warlord’s chest, and that smiling face looking at him was just like during the reinforcent of the Steel Bone Butcher Warband’s Howorld thirty years ago.
...
Victory was undoubtedly achieved.
The Steel Bone Butchers who survived the smoke and fire used their War Axes to pound their chests, and along with the shots fired skyward by the Ironfist Ambassadors, they ford an ancient cadence.
Bach’er bent down to pick up a bloodstained orange-red shoulder armor, the Ring of Punishnt badge on it was actively bleeding—looking very much like the piece that fractured when Ouyi blocked a fatal artillery strike for him forty years ago.
This shoulder armor belonged to a fallen Ironfist Ambassador. He didn’t recognize the face, likely a new recruit.
As he wiped the bloodstains off the tal shard, he asked: "Would the new blood provided by the Alliance inherit this too?"
Ouyi walked over, gently unfastened the deceased’s broken neck armor, revealing the grim scar tattoo underneath—sothing every Ironfist Warrior receives when they are promoted to veteran status at the sa spot.
"Blood can be replicated, but not the soul. Look at what those youngsters carve on the Holy Armor."
Bach’er approached the deceased recruit’s armor and found densely packed words on the inside of the Battle Armor, which were the nas of all the fallen Ironfist Ambassadors over the years.
Bach’er knew this was one of the traditions of the Ironfist Ambassadors. Every position within the Battle Group is docunted. Every warrior who inherits that position engraves the nas of all their predecessors who have sacrificed onto their own Battle Armor.
Looking at the battlefield where the smoke had not yet cleared, Bach’er suddenly felt that the new mighty Power Armor worn by those Alliance recruits, reflecting under the sunset, was no different from the old Sky Eagle Type ones of the past. ————
