Chapter 486 Black Swan Hong Suo (4K6)
-
As Hong Suo said, this is a showdown that will definitely be unforgettable for all the viewers present.
Even many years later, Honso's name was still used in some whispers as a traditional slang of the Maelstrom Sector.
The phrase "Victory of Honsou'" is used by local residents to refer to a very unpredictable and unusual event, which usually causes a large number of chain reactions and even exaggerates the situation that subverts common sense.

The skull harvest feast that kicked off four days ago on New Badab started with the heart of a captured Red Scorpion Chapter Astartes being ripped out of the chest by Huron himself. Come out and throw it on the sand of the Arena of Thorns to start.
The bright red oxygen-rich arterial blood of the loyalists splashed out like spring water, dyeing the large areas of sand red, like a roll of bright rolls rolled out for the Chaos Warriors who entered the arena. red carpet.
The battles before this were quite exciting and fast. The leaders of each warlord either sent a champion or went to the battle in person. As long as they could kill the opponent's leader or force them to kill enough champions, If you surrender, you will be able to obtain all the property and leadership rights of the team. In addition, no questions about origin, past, or any taxes will be charged.
Kadalas Grendel carried the power ax he had modified and blessed in Medrengard, led the Iron Warriors off the field, and in the subsequent battle rounds, he personally chopped down eight people from different countries. The heads of the respective champions of tribes, warbands, and clans, earning him the title "Crownbreaker."
And his blood-drinking ax also won about 2,500 warriors for Honso's warband, including Kroot, mortal pirates, several warbands of varying sizes, a dozen armored units and several A void ship.
According to reliable sources, Pushtok Uruvent, the darling of the Blood God, is very fond of the Iron Warriors champion’s wonderful performance on the field, and has sent envoys several times to try to contact and win over The champion executioner who seems to be quite like-minded with him, but Grendel always tells him that he already has his allegiance and has no intention of changing his family.
And Adalic Vanus gave full play to his killing skills as Captain of the 4th Company of the Raven Guard and Shadow Master of the Raven Tower - maybe there are a few other blessings? In short, after he was thrown into the Arena of Thorns, every killing he made with his claws was as precise and efficient as a sniper rifle. Their eyes and equipment could not accurately capture him, and the corpses of the dead were like art. The body was cut apart smoothly and lightly. It took a second or even a few seconds after the black figure passed by to take two steps forward. Blood splashed from the thin lines on the body, leaving pieces of torn flesh on the ground. . His eye-catching pair of lightning claws have achieved great results this time, including a Dreadnought-modified Daemon Engine captured by the Chaos Cult.
When it comes to the killing scene where Vanus appears, the side of the arena will always attract the largest number of Dark Eldar pirates and blade dancers to watch and cheer, and his precise throat-cutting and cutting skills will also attract the most attention and cheers. In the final settlement, six teams and their equipment and vehicles were signed with Honso's name.
In the end, only the Blood Skeleton Warband of the Blood God's darling Uluvente, the Blade Dancers of the Dark Prince's darling Aitasia, and Honso's simple Iron Warriors were left. Representative team.
These three teams will compete to the death in the final arena. The winner will take all. The loser's head will be presented to the Black Heart King and become the latest layer of skull decoration at the bottom of the throne - which is now filled with many. Fresh heads, some seriously injured warriors will even dedicate their heads to the tyrant's throne as their last honorary death memorial.
Although Honso did not personally end the battle during the entire previous battle, everyone has noticed why he was able to win with only two champions almost as many as the other two warriors. Trophies, and some who are too young even look forward to becoming his subordinates: the abnormal treatment speed and recovery level of the wounded.
For example, Grendel was actually plotted by this cunning mercenary leader when he fought against a huge Kroot chieftain, although he finally hacked him to death and brought his two hundred men into the flood. In Suo's army, everyone saw that one of Grendel's legs had been hit by the opponent's spear and completely shattered. Even if the stump was sawed off overnight and a mechanical biochemical prosthetic body was installed, it was of no avail—— As everyone expected, their match that afternoon was played by Vanners - until they were stunned to see Grendel re-enter the next morning, full of energy and limbs, and seemingly completely uninjured. Later, he successfully chopped off two heads of an ogre wizard with his axe, and won all the monsters in his tribe.
Another example is when Vanus backstabbed a cunning leader of the Dark Eldar cabal because the opponent was wearing unexpected protective jewelry and was unable to succeed, resulting in the poisoned The sharp blade passed through his abdomen. Although the former Raven Guard endured the intense pain of his muscles and bones being dissolved alive, he threw the lightning claw and struck the final blow towards his opponent. The disintegrating position of the claw tip passed over the neck guard and cut off. The Dark Eldar's neck was half pulled as he smiled triumphantly. Honso's team won, but everyone expected Adalik Vannes' name to be crossed off the list, after all, when he was carried before his employer, people saw him The pale skin on the edges rolled up with scarlet lines, and the abdomen had melted to the point where you could see the thick spine unique to the Space Marines. Someone was already ready to challenge Honso.
But this time, even after only half a day, the purple-eyed shadow master of the Iron Warriors warband appeared on the arena again and began to wander in the shadows, harvesting heads for his warband.
Of the two guys who issued the challenge, a pirate captain used his head, ship and a large number of crew members to add to the void combat power of the warband, while the other reptilian alien who was extremely good at sneak hunting reluctantly carried out the tribal witchcraft. After the divination, he had a stealth duel with the Shadow Master - well, obviously, the only thing that finally appeared in the light was the smiling face of Adalik Vanus, a heart and a severed head.
Since then, everyone has been unable to help but notice the abilities of the leader of the Iron Warriors warband. After all, let alone crazy doctors, perverted pharmacists or black Mechanicus genes in the Maelstrom or the Eye of Terror. Where sorcerers are everywhere, it is so rare to find a doctor with normal techniques and normal surgical results; even in the decadent territory ruled by the false emperor, one can be found who can heal seriously injured patients so quickly and seemingly without any sequelae or malignant mutations. Pharmacists are rare.
No matter which side of the curtain you are on, both sides are obviously more inclined to use machinery or prosthetic implants to repair the injuries of their respective soldiers, rather than carefully repairing the original bodies of the wounded. You can say that this is A kind of Omnissian sect that has had a subtle influence for thousands of years, or maybe it's just because mechanical replacement and implantation are cheaper, require less surgery, and can quickly return the injured to the tragic battlefield to continue fighting. Brutal efficiency requirements.
In short, although some people only see the superficial phenomenon and think that a person like Hong Suo who has both superb medical ability and blacksmithing skills will be an extremely excellent technical warlord, some people have seen something more. Deeper meaning: He may have incredible bioengineering skills, and he may be able to achieve pollution-free high-speed limb cloning and surgical recovery under such simple conditions - in other words, he may have the ability to be a real Asta. Special Apothecary's ability, and found the possibility of fighting Chaos pollution everywhere in this subspace.
Although the Badab tyrant sat high on his throne of thorns, with his feet on fresh skulls pierced by black iron, he never expressed any opinion on this matter, but after the recovery of Vanas on the fourth day, In addition to his psychic and witchcraft advisors, there are two more figures beside King Blackheart who rarely appear on such occasions: Valserx, the master of the Red Pirate Forge and Master of Alchemy, and Galen. The Lord of the Red Pirate Corpse and the Lord of the Apothecary. These two officers, who were crucial to the continuation of the chapter and Huron's own life, also made no statements after their appearance. However, as long as Honso appears, they will definitely be there every time and will carefully observe this war man. The blacksmith's treatment of his subordinates' injuries.
But now, they dismissed the surrounding attendants, leaving only space for the three of them to talk on the viewing platform.
“Very...pure.” Galen narrowed his eyes as he spoke. The pharmacist who helped Valserx save Huron’s life and continues to save Huron’s life today He has a pair of extremely dark eyes with almost invisible black pupils, an extremely thin face, and an extremely tall frame. If the genetic surgery had not caused his frame to stretch in a wide direction, then he would have been It will definitely look like a huge straight antenna. His face was full of the kind of expression that a true genius would have, but the look of madness in it always showed all kinds of terrible cruelty caused by the incomparable desire for forbidden knowledge.
"Clean? What do you mean?" Varsex asked this question on behalf of his master, "Maybe he is not from our side? A lackey of the false emperor? The Iron Warrior is just His disguise? So, catch him or kill him?" "No, no." The leader of the corpse group shook his head, with his long straw-like hair hanging messily around his neck. The gray-white silver thread shows the owner's care and advanced age. "It would be unwise to kill him before figuring out the source of his skills and knowledge... After all, if wizards have not been able to peek into his mind well until now, then there is still a chance of reading his brain after killing him. It may cause us to suffer an unbearable loss of knowledge——"
"Then you plan to dissect him yourself?"
"No, no." The pharmacist grinned, and his teeth smelled of a smell unique to the dissecting room. "I mean, clean, in all aspects, not only was his operation not affected by subspace energy. , and his surgical posture and movements are also very good, very good, yes."
"In my opinion, his technique is still quite immature. He may not have even cut open a hundred people under the scalpel. Don't talk about you, even the skinning skills of your incompetent apprentice can't compare."
"Ah, little Valier, we will catch him sooner or later. I will use his steady hands and his skills. The brain was removed and made into my operating room assistance servitor. But don't mention him now, Valserx, I mean, a kind of talent." Gareon's dark eyes sparkled with a crazy excitement. , "Talent, Valserx, skills can be honed, but talent can be encountered but not sought. This man is a waste of his skillful hands and his intuition as a war blacksmith... He definitely has the qualities of a pharmacist." Talent. I was not very happy when His Majesty called me! Praise the Black Heart King! Otherwise, I would miss such an excellent disciple." "What?" I don’t plan to accept apprentices anymore.”
“How can I save our group’s genetic seed mutation with my own efforts? Here, even the plundered seeds cannot be preserved for too long. Unless it is used immediately and the probability of mutation can be slightly reduced, even if we only stay here for decades or hundreds of years, the degree of mutation of our gene seeds will be the same as those of the Black Legion for thousands of years - me. Lord, we don’t have much of our own Star Claw gene-seed left, and now half of our replacements must rely on the prisoners we captured.”
"Then use their seeds to replenish it first." Huron finally spoke. His voice was somewhere between mechanical and fleshy, because most of the breath under the pale, pulled and sewn skin of his throat was actually , swallowing and other actions are all completed by bionic devices. Now he has just been repaired by Galen and is in pretty good condition. "If you plan to accept him as your disciple, Galen, I'm afraid it won't be exactly what you want." Because I promised him that as long as he wins the final game, I will let him work for me as an apothecary in my court."
The look on the Lord Apothecary's face was unpredictable. , "That means a new colleague, Your Majesty."
"Yes." The Black Heart King's throat vocal piston made a sigh like a gurgling sound, and he raised his huge metal power claw and patted it comfortingly. Patting the loyal pharmacist's hand, "First of all, let's wait and see this duel. Etasiya's swordsmanship is gorgeous and sharp, and he is also the champion of the Prince of Darkness, but his blessings and determination are far inferior to Uruvent. , and the rules of this game are that the captains of the three teams fight alone. If Honso can defeat Uruwente, then he can be said to be half sure of winning——"
There was an overwhelming cry of surprise on the field. .
The people on the viewing platform went out in sequence.
I saw the War Blacksmith lifting his leg from the Blade Dancer who fell gracefully and poignantly while holding his heart. From this distance, it seemed that the sternum of the Champion of Slaanesh might have collapsed a large amount, and a large amount of it passed through his mouth and nose. The blood-pink foam that spurted out also indicated that his lungs were probably pierced by a large number of bone fragments.
"How could it be-? Is Aitasia so vulnerable? Didn't they just reach fighting distance a few seconds ago..." Valserx said in surprise.
The champion of the Blood God roared and charged towards Honso, his blessed brass vampire sword screaming with joy (?) to drink the blood of his opponent, and then——
Honso's right hand grasped the blessed magic sword.
The supernatural power of the blade neutralized the protective stance on his power armor. Uruvent's face twisted and grinned, and the strengthened muscle bundles and servo roared with overload. The thickness of the ceramic steel gauntlet was only so much. When the stance was neutralized, the champion of the Blood God was ready to shake off the palm that had been cut off by the sword blade, and launch a final blow to the enemy in front of him.
But when he lifted the sword, he found that his blade was broken silently, and the demon in the sword also lost its voice. Although as an experienced warrior, his shock only lasted a short moment. That, but his hasty muscles and combat reflexes allowed him to swing the sword before Honso's other hand grabbed his neck - but his sword was broken, losing both length and sharpness.
Then an unexpected voice came to his ears as a fallen son of the Twelfth Legion. When he was still fighting for the empire and honor ten thousand years ago, he heard the voice that often passed by on the battlefield. rang.
"Then...accept the 'Emperor's Mercy'*." He heard a slightly sarcastic voice say.
The Apothecary's special drill drilled precisely and almost painlessly into a specific spot in the Astartes' skull.
