Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 848

Chapter 843, Death of Ulu

claims to be the Chapter’s “Holy Relic.” In reality, Taishichen knows better than anyone that this necklace originally held no special purpose.

It was simply a personal accessory worn by the first Chapter Master when the Dragon King’s Spears were founded. Later, it was passed down from generation to generation as a legacy of the Chapter Masters.

It holds a special place in the Chapter’s history, carrying a profound symbolic significance. But in itself, it’s merely a trinket, hardly a sacred relic.

The Dragon King’s Spears were also an ordinary Chapter, and they had never possessed anything of the caliber of “holy relic.”

But this Dragon Tooth Necklace, after passing through the hands of Governor Gu, has become something different.

Many Chapters, even non-Space Marine mortal units, have received commendations for their achievements. These commendations often involve a commemorative item from within their own unit, submitted, blessed in the “Holy Relic Chapel” on the Wrath of the Owl, and transformed into a sacred artifact before being returned to its original unit.

The Dragon King’s Holy Relic is this Dragon Tooth Necklace. The bearer not only gains constant micro-stamina replenishment and a strong resistance to the Warp, but also can unleash a powerful dragonfire spear.

Taishichen, the Chief Chaplain, and the Librarian have tested it, and they all agree that this dragonfire spear is powerful enough to pierce even a Titan’s void shield and annihilate it!

However, even a relic of such immense power has its limitations. Each use requires a full year to recharge, a laborious process requiring constant prayers from devout believers day and night. This requirement also makes the actual recharge time far longer than a year.

The Dragon Tooth Necklace is constantly nurtured in the Chapter Monastery’s chapel, only to be removed and worn by the Chapter Master once it is fully charged. He is extremely cautious in his use of this item,

but at this moment, Taishichen is relentless, showing no reluctance.

If not now, when?

This single strike would likely eliminate Uru immediately, reducing the risk of defeat in a subsequent battle against a powerful orc warlord. Furthermore, there was also the concern that if he realized he was outmatched and simply fled, leading his men to break free, the war would drag on for who knows how long, sparing the lives of many Dragon King Spear warriors, Alliance soldiers, and other chapters.

Right now, the most important thing was to slay him quickly and end the war with minimal effort and speed.

The dragon tooth necklace illuminated, emitting a brilliant green light. The moment it detached from the necklace, it transformed into a thick, raging flame, condensing into the shape of a spear and fiercely stabbing Uru nearby.

At that moment, Uru had just broken free from Modler’s psychic chains.

This orc warlord was truly exceptional. Even a think tank leader like Modler, possessing A+-level psychic strength, could only restrain Uru for a brief moment, even if he bled profusely.

But that little time was enough.

Facing the terrifying dragon-flame spear, Uru had no way of dodging. He only managed to raise his battle axe to block it.

However, facing a force powerful enough to annihilate a Titan, Uru, without any dodging or defensive preparations, could not withstand such a blow, even with his formidable physique.

By the time the flames dissipated, Uru’s body was practically roasted. His body had changed color, and he lay on the ground, twitching slightly.

But in reality, he was not dead. Although his body could no longer move, his face, completely distorted by the burning, trembled slightly, his mouth and eyes moving, as if a last vestige of life remained.

Given more time, he might even have slowly recovered from this overcooked state.

The vitality of a powerful orc warlord could reach such a ridiculous level.

But at this moment, Taishichen’s iron boot slammed down hard on the orc warlord’s chest.

The Phase Sword was raised high, then swung down fiercely, severing Uru’s head.

…

Two and a half weeks later, on the planet Mingmu,

Taishichen personally crushed the head of the last greenskin Orc within his sight.

The war was won.

At least temporarily.

In fact, after Uru was slain by Taishichen and the Battle of the Steel Furnace concluded with victory, the entire war was no longer suspenseful.

The Orc army that had invaded the Moon-Watching Star Region was experiencing some internal unrest. This was a long-standing tradition among them, and the humans exploited it, wiping out a significant number of greenskin Orcs.

Even compared to ordinary Orc settlements, these Orcs resolved this issue quickly—they quickly re-elected and elected a leader, who took control of all Orc forces in the Moon-Watching Star Region.

However, it was too late to reverse the situation.

Uru’s death dealt a heavy blow to the Orc army’s morale. The Orcs, disheartened, clearly suffered a significant decline in their combat effectiveness.

Furthermore, the heavy losses suffered at the Steel Furnace and the large number of manpower annihilated in the chaos had left the remaining Orc forces weak.

Under Taishichen’s personal command, the human army, advancing with great vigor and confidence, engaged the Orks in another decisive battle on the planet Bright Eye.

This battle was a crushing defeat.

Taishichen also slew the Greenskins’ newly elected commander—his strength was far inferior to that of Uru.

After the recapture of Bright Eye, Greenskin troops continued to emerge from Omgiria. However, these were small groups, posing little threat to the larger garrison on Bright Eye.

Especially after the arrival of a new interstellar blockade device and its replacement on Bright Eye, every Greenskin Ork emerging from Omgiria became a trap.

Over time, the number of Orks gradually dwindled.

On the one hand, once they entered, they were like a weakling, unable to return, with no results to show for it.

On the other hand, it was likely that the intensity of the war between the Orks and the Zerg within the Omgiria star system had intensified.

Even a warlike race as numerous as the Greenskins now lacked the resources to deploy troops elsewhere.

The same was true for the Zerg.

The frequency of attacks from the enemy spillover from Omgeria at other exits of the unbroken defenses had also been significantly reduced. A similar conclusion could be drawn from this point.

If the aliens didn’t come, then Taishichen would have to go in.
