Warhammer III

Chapter 57: Queen Vorgani and the Talos Engine of Pain

When Akshia found an Astartes approaching her, she immediately stopped hunting the chief of the chicken thieves. The chief of the chicken thieves had been poisoned by the neurotoxin released by the poison blade and would not escape her sight.

When Taiyue read out Akshia's name, Akshia frowned and stared at Taiyue, who was fully armed. She didn't remember having any contact with the Astartes of the Empire.

When Akshia was capturing the half-blood chicken thieves on the Imperial world, she had been deliberately avoiding the troops of the Human Empire, including not only the Astartes, but also the Astra Militarum and the Planetary Defense Force. After all, the latter basically would not go to the nests where the Genestealers gathered.

What surprised Akshia even more was why the person in front of her knew her name. Did she know it through psychic prophecy?

Since leaving her hometown, the Ark World Malantai, which was destroyed by the Tyranids, Akshia went to the Dark City alone.

She witnessed the birth of the Malantay Disaster and knew that it was impossible to defeat this super brain worm through the psychic power of the Eldar, so she began to learn the flesh and blood technology of the Haemonchi to study the weaknesses of the Tyranids.

Her experiences in the Dark City made her one of the founders of the Volganni Conclave by chance. Unlike other colleagues in the Volganni Conclave, she had only one goal, to avenge the Tyranids who destroyed her hometown.

When Axia mastered enough technology and officially became a Haemonchi, she never revealed her real name to outsiders.

Because she was once a war witch in the Malantay Craft World, in order to avenge the Tyranids, she had to give up the path of the Ark Eldar and join the hostile Dark Eldar society, which made her feel that she was no longer worthy of using the name given to her by the Craft World.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Facing the Haemonchi who appeared in Marsdan and indirectly saved his life, Tai Yue did not show mercy but prepared to kill the enemy. He immediately raised his arm and shot with a grenade launcher.

Axia was agile and her slender body moved quickly to avoid the bomb. The abomination slaves beside her pounced on Taiyue after receiving the order.

The birth process of abomination is extremely long and painful. The victims will be injected with various growth drugs, such as steroids, muscle growth agents and bone expansion viruses.

After the victims grow into qualified deformed bodies, they will generally be installed with metal claws or venom syringes by the Haemonculi. Finally, the Haemonculi will remove the brain lobe and wear a black iron mask, completely becoming a loyal slave.

The abomination in front of Taiyue is nearly four meters tall. The spine on its back has expanded into a hunchback due to excessive growth, and sharp bone blades and bone spurs extend from the spine.

It has four arms. The left upper arm has been transformed into a hard metal claw, the left lower arm holds a poisoned blade, and the right upper arm and right lower arm are connected to syringes to strengthen the attack of the implanted hybrid chicken thief deformed claws.

"Boom!"

A bomb hit the chest of the Abomination, and its flesh and blood, which had been strengthened by drugs, exploded directly, and the green blood splashed on the ground like paint.

This Abomination did not die easily. The containers filled with adrenaline on its shoulders began to shrink and injected the drugs into the body of the Abomination, making the injured Abomination violent.

The syringe on the right upper arm of the Abomination sprayed a blood mist, and while Taiyue's vision was limited, it swung its metal claws to grab Taiyue's helmet.

Tayue showed a disgusted expression when he saw this, and with the battlefield intuition, he clamped the metal claws with his servo arm, and then threw the huge Abomination into the air with force.

He then drew out the power sword and rushed forward, slashing at the body of the Abomination, with such force that the blade and a deformed claw in the hand of the Abomination were directly slashed.

Taiyue turned the sword and shattered the metal mask of the Abomination again. He wanted to see if this victim was human.

To his surprise, under the mask was the skull of a second-generation hybrid chicken thief, not the distorted face of an Imperial citizen or other humanoid creature after being abused.

"Although you have indirectly helped me, if the creature being transformed is human, you will all die here today."

Taiyue warned Akshia while using a plasma to vaporize the monster body that fell to the ground. He then slowly walked towards Akshia. He was not completely sure that he could capture the Haemonculus alive.

Akshia's face was angry at this time. The Astartes in front of her first called her name, then suddenly attacked her, and said some inexplicable words, all of which angered her.

"No matter who you are, you must pay for your stupidity, Talos!"

As soon as Akshia finished speaking, a living mobile torture device and turret appeared above her head. This was the crazy creation of the Haemonculus, the Talos Pain Engine.

The Talos Pain Engine was originally a torture device of the Haemonculus, and later appeared on the battlefield where the Dark Eldar were, used as a powerful war machine.

The Talos Pain Engine is decorated with a variety of surgical instruments and grotesque war weapons. Some are organic flesh, and some are automatic machines. It uses anti-gravity engines to sweep enemies on the battlefield. When its sharp claws grab the victim, it will burn the victim from the inside out or convert the victim's flesh and soul into potions.

Before Tai Yue could react, the crystal cannon at the tail of the Talos Pain Engine began to shoot, and dense toxic crystals enveloped Tai Yue.

The iron halo on Tai Yue's power armor was quickly overloaded under the attack of the crystal cannon. The metal child hole on the back of his hand automatically generated a psychic barrier again, resisting the saturation attack from the sky.

A dark Eldar woman jumped down from the Talos Pain Engine. She was wearing a revealing tights that revealed a large area of ​​fair skin.

She held a retracting whip blade in her left hand and a poison crystal pistol on her waist. She wore black armor on her right arm and legs. A small arm blade was hidden in the armor on her right arm. She was obviously a martial artist.

The dark Eldar woman walked towards Axia with impeccable and elegant steps. She stared at Taiyue who was attacked with charming eyes, licked her lips and said teasingly:

"Queen Vorgani, there haven't been any Space Marines from the Human Empire in the Colosseum of Gomor for a long time. Why don't we capture the abstinent straight man in front of us alive."

After the establishment of the Vorgani Conclave, Axia was gradually called "Queen Vorgani" by the Dark Eldar. She was also happy to act with this new identity and was ready to completely forget her name in the Maranthai Ark World.

"Elina, the enemy is very dangerous!"

Axia said in a cold tone. The technical sergeant in front of him not only easily killed the powerful chicken-thief abomination, but also defended against the sneak attack of the Talos Pain Engine.

When the enemy's bombing ended, Taiyue discovered that the Talos Pain Engine above his head was made based on the Genestealer Patriarch of Marsdan. The arm he cut off was the best evidence.

Author's words:

At first I was also confused: What does the word "Vani" mean? Why do the blood-orcs who study the Tyranids in the official novel call themselves Vani? It was not until I went back to read the translation of the Imperial World Wogan Van that I understood that the ending of Vani Vani uses a Latin-like -i form. This word formation is often used to construct fictional race nouns to indicate plural meaning.

So it can be understood like this: Vani secret meeting is fine. It is a research association composed of blood-orcs who like (i) the mixed-blood chicken-thief of the Wogan world (Van).

In short, there is no special meaning. Everyone should focus on Queen Axia of Vani!
