War on the Frozen Shores Part 7: Darkoath Savagers
(General POV)
Location the Norscan Shores, the Lands of the Graelings-Outside the Ruined Port/Battlefield-Dark Legion Vs World Walkers
The Darkoath tribe has finally arrived and rushed through the World Walkers' remaining forces, as the ran pass the marauders, knights, skin-wolves, and beasts of the Norscan forces joined in the charge against the enemy.
All the while the Hedonite Sorceress, Arrel-zhan placed the shi'lanorai crystal wraiths archers in position to let loose their ice-needle arrows on the charging enemies.
All the while the Catsaber along with the Shadow Hunters and their alpha were waiting alongside with their norscan snow wolves and warhounds for the order from Tai Tai to start rushing towards the enemy.
At the front several daemons (knightmares, succubi, and bloodletters) that will charge under the command of the Daemon Prince, Kholek Suneater, of course his kin of shartaks, were in the force of daemons that the daemon shaggoth was placed in command of.
All the while Arrel-zhan and Tai Tai remain in the center back line of their forces with the rest of the Dark Legion, all waiting for the command to strike back.
Once the Darkoath and World Walkers were in perfect range for the frost eldar archers, Arrel-zhan gave the order to fire.
Countless marauders, darkoath savagers, gloryseekers men and women were shot down by ice arrows, with the Crystal Wraiths eye mutations made their shots unable to miss, as they attacked, Kholek roared screaming out, "Slaughter them all, in the name of the Dark Gods!!! (Warp Gods)" upon claiming that the giant daemon shaggoth, charged forward with shartaks and some lesser daemons, following their Prince closely behind.
Kholek has yet to sastified his desire for blood, rushing through the snow as his kin along with bloodletters, knightmares, and succubi were charging with him, as ice-needle arrows still soared over them, lowering the number of enemies, but still a large force of norscans and darkoaths awaited for them.
A female gloryseeker armed with a broadsword and a couple of wrathtouched with their claws, charged straight at Kholek roaring as wild animals.
As the Herald of the Tempest, rised his giant warhammer, Starcrusher, he swung it low striking and crushing a wrathtouched easily killing the mortal in one blow, while the others they were able to avoid Kholek's strike.
As their clash was about to start the rest of the Dark Legion under Arrel-zhan and Tai Tai Shien began to charge in as well with Crystal Wraiths-Archers and Mortifinis sawdisks wielders remaining in the back line, ready to provide more range support.
Tai Tai, her clutter alongside the Shadow Hunters flanked to the east with the Catsaber Chieftain, smiling and very excited all throughout this battle all she was experiencing is thrill, and proving that she is the greatest chieftain to have risen in the Shien Clutter, spotting her first prey a long haired barbarian with a warhammer (Darkoath Proven), he rushed at her with his hammer ready to strike down...but...
With her beastman superior physical capabilities, feline reflexes she swiftly evaded the downward hammerstrike, and using her right leg, she swiped her foot-claw, cutting deeply into the human's side forcing him down onto his knee, as he bleed Tai Tai, with her clear flexibility rised her right beautiful leg high and straight, as she said, "I heard the Darkoath were strong warriors of the Gods...guess not." Tai Tai's voice filled with mockery and bloodlust.
She brought down her leg and using her foot-claw beheaded the Proven, and has gained another kill in this fight, as her cat ears twitched from the sound of wrestling snow, turning her red gaze to the side, she saw more Darkoath Savagers coming for her, as once again a wild smile adorned her face, as she counter-charged them.
At the sametime Shien Clutter was fighting against savagers near their Chieftain that was already at the middle of another battle.
The sametime the shadow hunters of the Shi'lanorai were fighting against savagers and proven, while around them many of their wolves and warhounds were slain by a single dark-skinned slaughterborn with a greatsword.
Originally the slaughterborn wanted to challenge the feral and wolf like light brown skinned elves, but the Pack Leader the highly werebeast like shi'lanorai rushed the slaughterborn and their battle began.
As the rest of the savagers and proven armed with swords, axes, and hammers fought the shadow wolves armed with dual ice-axes and claws.
The sound of clashing weapons, as the darkoaths proved their physical might during this war, but the frost eldars skill, and unique ice warp-sorcery made up for that weak spot against the barbarians.
One of shadow hunter, actually bit the nose of a darkoath woman and tore it off her face, making her scream in pain and drop her sword leaving her wide open for axe-slash at the side of her neck.
This fight between the shi'lanorai Bloodstained Snow Beasts and Catsaber, against the Darkoath Savagers, continued as the battles intensified all around the area.
Especially the duel between the Chosen of the Gods, and the World Walker...
Location the Duel Sight between Ixion Daemonhart and Wulfrik the Wanderer
Slashing and swinging, blocking and redirecting one another's attack, Laharl could see that the Warhammer lore of Wulfrik being one of the greatest fighters/duelists of the Old World weren't exaggerating.
As another shield block from Wulfrik, against Ixion/Laharl's morningstar swing, holding against Ixion's strength Wulfrik tried for a sword thrust to his enemy's chest.
Only for Laharl to move Ixion to the left allowing Wulfrik's greatsword to miss barely, scrapping against the left rib-area of the chestplate.
Slightly shocked by this Wulfrik allowed himself to be viciously headbutted by Ixion, followed by a morningstar thrust into his chest by Ixion, sending away a bit and falling onto the snow on his back.
Coughing and wheezing from the pain he just suffered, but it all surged from his chest even the headbutt he suffered pale to the other blow that Ixion gave him.
Wulfrik struggled to catch his breathe, as to his surprise his opponent wasn't taking advantage of his current state to kill him, he just stood there on guard...waiting for him...
Mercy...pity...these were the thoughts running through Wulfrik's head.
Thinking of those things enraged the Eternal Wanderer, as his rage overtook the pain standing up against with a clear face of anger, as he spoke to Ixion/Laharl, "You fare, show me pity!!? I'll tear out your heart, and offer it the Gods!!! You hear me!!?".
Laharl made Ixion tilt his head to the side and responded, "Are you gonna, just keep barking? Or are you going to fight!?" Wulfrik, roared rushing straight at his enemy again.
Location the Norscan Shores, the Lands of the Graelings-Outside the Ruined Port/Battlefield-Dark Legion Vs World Walkers
Tired of the unskilled and graceful, brutality she was seeing and believing that the Dark Princess must be feeling the same, the Shardspeaker, Arrel-zhan ordered the Living Daemon Fortress, Enzium that was just outside the limits of the battlefield to attack.
Enzium roared as it got closer to it's targets before it started arming all its artillery.
Letting rain death-heads, vile, flaming skulls, and massive meteorites of hellfire.
The bombarded of hellfire and plague, utterly devastated the back lines of the World Walkers, that even some of the remaining mammoths were caught in the onslaught, leaving only a pair of Chaos Mammoths.
Speaking of those great beasts they were soo consumed by fear of Enzium, that they retreated back into the ship, Seafang, to escape and no matter what the Norscans on the huts on the mammoths backs did they couldn't regain control of the giant beasts.
Enzium roared and smashed it three clawed pincers onto the snowy ground, several times but it got a psychic command by it masters, to stop the onslaught which it complied immediately.
This surprised Arrel-zhan, that Enzium stopped attacking before she could yell and try to order it to resume the bombardment on the enemy, she felt the dark, divine presences of more than one of the Gods, focused solely on her, it was obvious they weren't pleased.
A Carnagehost, in her command laughed as he told her that while her beloved Dark Princess doesn't care about her followers unless they prove themselves an...amusement, and benefit...she has forgotten that she is in a mixed army of various Gods, which have their own thoughts and opinions on how to treat those under them...leaving the Shardspeaker, in dread she had to get into the grace of Lord Daemonhart, less she suffered the wrath of three of the Gods, and not even Slaanesh would save her.
The Pack Leader, the Dark Wendigo was drenched in blood as it has mutilated his prey the Slaughterborn, the body of the late darkoath laid torn and mangled apart on the snow.
Highly mutated/blessed shi'lanorai that is the dark wendigo crushed the torn torso under his lycan foot, as it chewed on the head of his victim, a Darkoath Chieftain with a battle axe came to challenge him next.
Crunching the bloody head in his powerful jaws, the dark wendigo growled and snarl at his next prey, launching himself straight at the darkoath elite, seeing the horned werebeast jump at him the braid-haired chieftain roll out of the way, with his battle axe low as the wolven monster circled slightly and spoke to the Chieftain in a deep, low, beastial voice, "Another prey. For the glory of the Circle of Shadow Wolves. Make this entertaining for me."
Roaring at the darkoath elite, as he rushed towards his prey on all four and as he got close the Chieftain swung a upward slash with his axe...
Location the Duel Sight between Ixion Daemonhart and Wulfrik the Wanderer
Again Wulfrik was on the offensive only this time he went for a more overwhelming assault, instead of aiming for weakpoints.
He swung his Torgald without mercy, and also started using his tower shield offensively by performing shield strikes, charges, and bashes on his enemy, but all that the Eternal Wanderer was actually achieving was...pissing off, a Warp God.
So Laharl allowed the next shield attack to hit Ixion as he tanked the heavy blow, and using the Hellbane to lock the shield in place, as the daemonic greatsword was stabbed into the ground granting it support, and impeding Wulfrik from pulling back his shield or attacking properly.
With this Laharl/Ixion struck Wulfrik with a brutal, hard left cross to the Wanderer's face.
Stunning him long enough to fully disarm him of his shield, once Wulfrik realized that he lost his tower shield Laharl made Ixion rush in and deliver a swift rising cross cut, that not only cut through the chestplate of Wulfrik but knock him back.
This time Laharl wasn't going to be as lenient, as Wulfrik caught himself before slipping into the snow Laharl/Ixion grabbed him by the throat, with a strong grip which was choking the Norscan Warlord.
Ixion/Laharl lifted him up above the height of the avatar's head, and said, "Clench your teeth." with a powerful, downward swing of his outstretched arm he slammed Wulfrik against the snow covered ground, performing his second Chokeslam ever.
Watching this Khorne cheered and applauded Laharl for using such a grapple, while Nurgle unconsciously messaged his throat saying out loud, "I still...remember...that...move...vividly. Almost feel...pity...for the...mortal...almost."
But the Dark One was still not done yet, as he looked down at the choking, gasping and clearly in pain Wulfrik.
He reached down lifting the Wanderer again, as a former mortal and proud to say man of culture, Laharl decided to use another move that is quite powerful and famous.
Still dazed, Laharl lifted Wulfrik above his shoulder grabbing his sides tightly when Wulfrik was coming to he said to the Norscan, "For the Animal!!!" and he delivered a special power bomb, a Bastita Bomb!!!
Smashing Wulfrik once again onto the desolated, snowy ground of Norsca.
The impact really affected Wulfrik, but he could tell his opponent was far from done so standing up and going back to where the tower shield and his weapons were he waited for Wulfrik to get back on his feet, while resting over the Eternal Wanderer's, shield and weapon close by...
After a while Wulfrik got in his feet to see Ixion resting on his shield, once he saw him stand the Chosen of the Gods grabbed onto the edge of the shield and in a flash the shield vanished before his eyes, as Wulfrik, he heard Ixion say to him, "There's no need for defense, only combat. Come fight dog!!!"
Once again insulted and enraged, Wulfrik fighting and ignoring the pain he was in charged at Ixion, with both hands on his blade and clear berserker fury in the eyes of Wulfrik.
