The Emperor’s Angel of Death

#2627 - Beast blood boiling

However, the current psionic-filled defense cannot last long and will quickly dissipate after multiple strikes. We are working hard to solve this problem and already have some ideas, such as completely transforming its bones into spirit bones. Additionally, the Behemoth shares the characteristic of extreme rage when wounded, even more so than the Clawed Fiend. Once it smells its own blood, it will immediately fall into an uncontrollable rage and go berserk. Furthermore, due to its additional psionic organs, even destroying its head will not stop it. Currently, there are no means to control this berserk state, and we can only wait for it to eliminate all surrounding targets before it calms down on its own.→

When the psionic transmission of the cage was turned off, and it was attacked more than a dozen times with lasers and blade missiles, Solzhenitsyn saw that the white color on the Behemoth's body did indeed begin to fade rapidly.

Despite such unstable and obvious shortcomings, Solzhenitsyn was still amazed by the terrifying power of this giant beast. Imagine a beast that can easily tear apart a Knight-class mech rampaging wildly on the battlefield – the scene would be absolutely horrifying and terrifying. And this is just a hasty "compromise" creation, so what would be the power of the Eldar Empire's psionic war beasts during its heyday?

Solzhenitsyn felt a mixture of anticipation and relief. Fortunately, these forces are controlled by him.

Although it seems that without him, these lost things would not reappear?

But now he has become much more open-minded. The Eldar are not that bad. As long as it's not the Commorrites who capture people every day, or the Craftworld Eldar using humans to "avoid disaster," there are not many conflicts and ties between the two races. They don't need to compete for living space. The Imperium looks big, but the space it occupies in the universe is probably less than one-thousandth of the galaxy. The galaxy is essentially very empty, not to mention that the Eldar also have the Webway to go to.

Of course, compared to these powerful war beasts, the creativity of these Drukhari is even more commendable. So, he turned to face Quipa.

"These are already quite excellent results, especially considering how little time has passed. Although you were all experts in this field, to create such a complete work in such a short time, I must commend you all."

Then he looked back at the now pitch-black Behemoth.

"This thing has a big appetite, doesn't it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's twenty times that of a normal Clawed Fiend."

"Hmm, truly an astonishing appetite. Can we try to raise them in feral worlds?"

"We can try."

"Are they capable of reproduction?"

"Currently, they do not have the ability to reproduce independently and can only be modified from adult Clawed Fiends, but we will strive to overcome this."

"There's only this one, right?"

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, what about its mobility and agility?"

"It still possesses the powerful running, jumping, and fighting abilities of the Clawed Fiend (the Clawed Fiend knows grappling and fighting, Astartes, amazing isn't it?). So, even against prey larger than themselves, we believe that a hunting pack composed of multiple Behemoths can still form an effective offensive."

Solzhenitsyn blinked, turned his head, and looked at the Behemoth, which was gobbling up tons of giant-toothed dragon fresh meat from the huge food plate hanging from above. He knew the Clawed Fiend's mobility. If they weren't bragging, it meant that this thing could jump thirty to forty meters high. Considering the ferocious power of their claws, they could indeed pose a threat to Titan-class opponents.

"If it were to fight a large Tyranid creature, such as a Tyrant, one-on-one, what would the result be?"

When it comes to beast fights, it is naturally a topic that all human males love. Although Solzhenitsyn doesn't have this hobby, such a question immediately popped into his head and he said it.

Hearing this, Quipa and the other Drukhari were stunned for a moment. Then Quipa pondered for a moment and replied:

"Your Highness, regarding the large Tyranid creatures, because the Commorrites captured very few in the past and there are too few samples to analyze, we cannot make a good judgment. However, the Caeneum arena once captured a Tyranid creature labeled as 'Tyrant'. Many of us went to watch it at the time. In my personal judgment, I think the Behemoth would be better, because the Behemoth in a rage is uncontrollable, but its reactions and speed will be faster than in its normal state. And the most important thing is that at least the large Tyranid creature we saw was not as big as the Behemoth. In primitive beast fights, size and weight advantages are often decisive."

Solzhenitsyn recalled the information about Tyranid creatures collected by the Adeptus Mechanicus. It seemed to be true, but currently, both humans and Eldar have too limited understanding of the Tyranids. There are also many Titan-class Tyranid creatures that have been sighted, but their information only exists in fragmentary eyewitness reports.

"The kingdom's two client states are both on the eastern frontier of the galaxy, and the probability of encountering Tyranid hive fleets in the future is not low. The creatures you manufacture in the future will mainly target the Tyranids as the primary enemy."

Saying that, he paused for a moment, knowing that he was a little anxious, and then shook his head.

"Well, the transformation cycle must not be short. In the future, report directly to me if you need anything, you..."

Speaking of this, Solzhenitsyn remembered that the Drukhari currently do not have their Golden Hounds, that is, representatives and leaders.

But he couldn't interfere in this matter, because it did not belong to political affairs, but to the internal affairs of the Wild Hunt Circle Shrine. It belonged to the Order. There were regulations when formulating the law that the Royal Court would not directly interfere in the internal affairs of the Order or Shrine unless it involved national security issues.

The Wild Hunt Circle did not have a leader before. After all, everyone defaulted that the Path of Khaine had ended. They were together more like a brotherhood model. Everyone was equal, just occasionally gathering together out of remembrance of their ancestors.

But it has been so long and no leader has been selected. Solzhenitsyn guessed that there might be some differences within the Shrine, or it might be because they absorbed some people who were not from the Beastmasters. Most of them came from the dragon tamers of the feral worlds, and their concepts and ideas were definitely different from those of the former Commorrite Beastmasters. However, as far as he has seen along the way, it seems that more people support Van Pannog, including some dragon tamers.

Fortunately, they are now very focused on learning lost skills and various transformation and taming work, and they don't have much time to engage in fierce competition. At least no conflicts and contradictions have appeared on the surface. Solzhenitsyn thought about gathering them together one day to have a good chat, or helping them hold an election ceremony. In any case, a leader must be determined, which will also facilitate the future management of the Spirit Beast Sanctuary – Madail has made it very clear that he will not manage this place much in the future, and his main energy will be focused on training the Phoenix Guard.

After that, he toured other parts of the sanctuary. This sanctuary is not a small place, including huge animal pens, training grounds, transformation areas, and incubation areas, etc. Normally, even hundreds of Bonesingers would have to build for a long time. Fortunately, the Maelanthra Craftworld disassembled many blocks during the transformation, and Madail directly used one of the storage areas originally belonging to Maelanthra, which could be used directly after a little modification.

In addition to these things, Solzhenitsyn had one more important thing to deal with before leaving the Royal Court.
