Chapter 665 - Frozen Coven No More

The negative emotions that were created by the merciless slaughter of the entire Frozen Coven would forever capture the attention of the Daemons of the Immaterium. I was sure that if now for the actual Dawn Pillars, there would be a ton of them attempting to descend down to the real space and create havoc.

The environment that was created by such a wide massacre was perhaps enough to attract the attention of some of the greatest Daemons within the Immaterium, as hundreds of thousands of people were dying every second.

Not only that, but all people that were dying here were Psyker, darlings of the Immaterium and favorite prey of the Daemons of the Warp, who preyed on them like a wolf on deer.

"They are indeed efficient when it comes to committing a genocide... what an interesting twist..."

I had to admit that the Partas Tribe was very efficient in the cold and ruthless approach of genociding the members of the Frozen Coven. Practically anyone who was older than a certain age, mostly older than three years or so, was put to the sword and killed. 

It was a terrible massacre and rather bloody because they were executed in an old-fashioned way using cold weapons. Such mass executions always created a lot of mess, something that was rather rare within the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.

Due to the presence of the Dawn Pillars and their effects, none of the Frozen Coven were able to give any kind of organized resistance. Their armed forces were broken apart upon the first confrontation with the soldiers of the Partas Tribe. 

In the end, it took only a few hours for the armies of the Partas Tribe to completely take over the Frozen Cover and its headquarters. Right now, the soldiers of the Partas Tribe were rounding people up; those who were deemed as suitable, especially young children who barely remember anything, would be assimilated into the Partas Tribe.

The rest were sent to the camps, where they were systematically killed, and their corpses were used to feed Danger Beasts that the Partas Tribe was breeding. Only some of the more powerful Psykers were taken as prisoners of war and transported into the Icecrown Citadel of the Partas Tribe.

This was done mostly at my request as I wanted some live subjects, and for better research results, I wanted to obtain live samples. It was rather a grim sight, but not the worst thing that I saw in my very, very long life... or what I did. 

In the end, mercy was for the weak, and the Partas Tribe was doing everything they could to ensure their survival and dominance, even at the price of having a reputation as slaughterers or monsters scribed down in the history books.

That was the conviction that I could certainly respect...

"This entire ordeal is boring..."

Esdeath whined from the side; she was bored as hell. When she saw how easily the troops of the Partas Tribe were taking over the headquarters of the Frozen Coven. The defenders of the Frozen Coven were no match against that of the Partas Tribe, and due to the effects of the Dawn Pillars, there were no powerhouses against which to fight.

"I told you the same thing... under the might of the Dawn Pillars, even the most powerful Psykers would become powerless children, ready to be killed by the simple swing of a sharp blade."

I knew that Esdeath was eager for this war, but in turn, she was immensely disappointed when she was faced with the harsh reality of how weak their enemies had become. All mighty Psykers and Sorcerers of the Frozen Coven were powerless to put even rudimentary resistance in front of the troops of the Partas Tribe.

"And of course, you didn't listen to me even a bit, and now, here you are... You should really start presenting yourself with more dignity. Hopefully, nobody is around, and even if they were, I bet that they would already be frozen to icicles."

She was already whining to me for half an hour or so, about how disappointing this entire ordeal was, which was something that I could understand at least partially. I knew that, for a battle maniac, she was awaiting something more than just sitting on a nearby cliff together with me and observing the battle.

"Tsk... still, it is nice to have this moment just for two of us... such a perfect memorable moment..."

Some part of me almost shuddered because Hela said similar words to me af few times, as the woman got horny when there was a lot of carnage and slaughter around her. Not like I complained about that; it was always a welcome thing to be ready for pleasurable activities, even in the most unusual places for her.

"I must admit that it has some charm... the view is good..."

I tried not to comment on the mass executions that were being carried out not far from the city, which was also in our view, though I noticed that Esdeath became even more clingy than usual when she unbuttoned one of the upper buttons on her uniform, so I could clearly see her cleavage.

"Hopefully, the confrontation against the Northern Tribes would be more thrilling than this..."

She almost muttered as she sat down next to me, but I was ready to smash her hopes apart, very, very fast and hard.

"Not really... if the Partas Tribe completely digests the Inheritance of the Frozen Coven and starts mass-producing the technology it has together with my own intentions, then the Northern Tribes would be squashed in a few days at max. If you want to have powerful foes to fight against, then you need to leave this planet behind and head towards the stars."

Each of my words shattered her hopes of a good fight against the Northern Tribe more and more until nothing remained from it, and she thought about it more. If the Partas Tribe obtained all the things that I mentioned, then some of the Northern Tribes wouldn't be a challenge.

It's not like the Northern Tribes were really competitors for the Partas Tribe, even right now.
