To Laharl's surprise it wasn't as a long as he originally suspected it to while these are great rewards for him, he was actually relieved that it was this short, as he adjusted himself in his Ebony Throne he spoke to Aillia "Aillia how are things going with my dear Chi and luscious Kiira?" with a quick respond from her
This news greatly pleased Laharl as he bended the Warp around his right claw to make his chalice appear in his grasp filled with rich Ambrossia taking a quick sniff allowing the sweet aroma to enter his nose, as he take a deep drink he starts to thinks of the little things his Castle still needed such as a grand bath for him and his Wives both current and future, and also while he didn't really need it he craves to enjoy great food with his beloved so he had to create not only a dinning hall, but a kitchen and cooking staff, as he sighed while he thought to himself "A God's...a ruler's work is never done. l'll just use one of my FACs to make these new additions to my castle later...but first I must see how are things going for my beloveds Cassandra, Scalpel, and Jade." focusing his great ruinous power to see into the Materium, to watch all three of his Daemon Queens-to-be progress and also rewards them with new Chaos gifts as rewards.
Location Hiveworld Kolbaline, battlefield the Crimsontear vs the Kolbaline Guard
Cassandra has gained much more soldiers, followers, and weapons of war which she's using to their greatest extent against one of her former father's loyal officers, General Lutherheiz which was currently riding a Baneblade called the "Sacred Inferno of Kolbaline" raining hell upon her forces with the special arsenal equipped on the mega-tank from vulcan mini-guns, laps-semi auto rifles, special wide spread flamers and main cannon burning, gunning, and crushing all her more "fanatical" forces while her more trained soldiers, and psykers were countering much of the Baneblade's assault.
She has entered this battle days ago after targeting a far southern hivecity/mega factorum called Irringast, to further sow discord, chaos, and anarchy on the Kolbaline Guard and she even prepared for the obvious ambush that was planned by an incompetent imbecile like Lutherheiz who should have never been promoted Cassandra confessed she'll make him a great rack for a Chaos Banner once she defeats and mutilates him, so she attacked Irringast leaving her war machines in position while she personal lead the troops from Chaos Corrupted, Enlighten, Cultists, and Guardsmen all eager to appease their Dark God, Laharl a name that has been revealed to her when she punished those responsible for attacking Karim Ireneie Von Grimm (Scalpel Bleedinhart) and she passed it on to her forces once her slaughter of workers of the factorum along with low ranking guards spotted within Irringast her "opponent" sprung his trap attacking her Battalion with over 50k of troops and Sentinels which only brought a smirk on Cassandra face as she sent a psychic signal as both forces were taking shelter and positions in the depth of the active factorum, explosions echoed and amplify all around the two armies standing proudly with her scarlet longsword rising the sword high in her golden clawed gauntlet hand, with a forward half swing came the rest of her forces Chaos Sentinels, Carnage Tanks, Corrupted Baneblades, and more Cassandra countered her inferior adversary's ambush with a greater one and with her signal the Crimsontear Battalion charged right behind Cassandra as this shall be a glorious battle, an grandiose slaughter, an utter carnage in her Dark God's name and honor.
With that the battle between Cassandra's Crimsontear Battalion and Lutherheiz Guard has been raging for three days none stop as countless men and women slaughter one another in this war.
As red hot lasers from laps-fire soared across the metal factorum turned gruesome battlefield as many were burned by the lasers blasting off limbs, heads, and burn/destroyed parts of metal and iron, the sound of gunfire and bullets flying everywhere riddling bodies to shreds and bloody messes across the metal floor, laying next to walls, destroyed or burning war machines.
Blades cut through flesh and bodies, with the reving of chainsword, bite into bodies and armor alike splashing and spreading gore and blood all over the place as the Chaos touched Guardsmen of Cassandra's Crimsontear Battalion were enjoying the carnage and gore rushing into battle and the next victim their blade can cut into regardless if it's one of their own that has fallen to the weak Kolbaline Guards the carnage, the dark power of their Dark God was incredible and they'll gain much favor when the slaughter is done.
All the while various war machines were wrecking havoc and destruction across the bloodstained battlefield as Sentinels stomped the corpses making macabre mush on the metal floor, shooting bullets and lasers at their victims tearing through poor guardsmens from both sides.
Tanks pulverized and eradicated their targets with heavy artillery, while Chaos-touched Baneblades used their various weapons and bound woman Psyker to wreck untold havoc and agony on the lesser minds of the but as one of these said Chaos Baneblades was in the middle of killing hundreds of Guardsmen, along with a few Tanks and Sentinels when a rocket soared across the battlefield hitting said Baneblade in the side causing massive damage and destroying the treads leaving it immobile and easy target for the forces of Lutherheiz to take down permanently speaking of said general he was the one responsible for shooting the defiled baneblade with his own Sacred Inferno, as he refused to back down or submit to Cassandra the traitorous disowned daughter of his High Lord and friend he rallied his forces and continued his attack on the Crimsontear traitors.
But unknown to all Kolbaline loyalists a dark entity was watching pleased with his followers work so he started aiding them by bending the dark powers making them stronger, some mutated even further creating some Forsaken from both the Chaos-touched and Chaos Guardsmen as they charge ahead like mindless beasts using their claws to tear into their victims and ignore most of the damage making Laharl laugh as he turned his sight on another part of the battlefield focusing on his Fifth Wife/Daemon Queen-to-be Cassandra Larmes De'sanguine...
(Cassandra POV)
My Battalion was butchering these weaklings they'll serve as fitting morsels for my Lord, I can feel his dark gaze upon me even now as I charge into the enemy line with hundreds of thousands Infidels and victims trying to gun me down...fools the whole lot of them as I gracefully evaded and block all laps-fire and bullets soaring towards me with the glorious power of Chaos flowing through me and empowering me I rushed in ever closer with my claws firmly holding onto my Rozen Écarlate de Sanguine Joueur the weapon gifted to me by...him...my soulmate...my God which I was about to make several sacrifices to.
Once I reached my victim I swung my daemonic scarlet longsword in a wide horizontal arch slashing several of these fools in half as their upper bodies fell from the rest staining the floor with guts, and blood bringing me joy as more fell to my glorious swordarts, surrounded all sides just as I plan at this range so close to friendly fire these guardsmens would be forced to fight me in melee less they kill their allies making me smile wickedly as I started the real performance getting into my stance by seperating my legs and slightly bending my knees, twisting myself to the right grasping my sword's long handle holding it horizontally to the right preparing to swing.
(General POV)
Cassandra was in her special stance once the guardsmen drew their swords, knives, and chainswords to attack her but once they started moving closer she struck by performing her wide archs, spins, twirls, and cross swings almost like a macabre bloody ball dance, every move and swing from her longsword dismembered, bisected, beheaded, and splitted the bodies of her victims in one last move with her Rozen Écarlate de Sanguine Joueur held pass her neck by one of her gold clawed gauntlet hand, she swung her blade in a double wide spin forward slashes, cleaving several men and women in half at the end with her longsword held in the air straight on the right, as her crimson colored eyes were looking at her victims those eyes filled with malice, predatory, and pride on what she's done, as her bloodstained beautiful face and dress caused disturbing feelings on these people before they could react and do anything Cassandra struck again.
Once again spinning forward grasping the handle of her longsword to deliver a wide cross slash killing several guardsmens in a bloody half, again in the middle of numerous enemies Cassandra started her performance of her graceful and deadly dance swordplay, only this time aside from her sword swings she added claw swipes as well as her gold claws gutted and cut deeply into her victims and blood gushed, burst, and splashed all around and over her, if Laharl hadn't claimed her as his own he knew that like Valkia, Khorne would have if he was born earlier making Laharl smile admiring the beautiful, graceful slaughter she's causing as he kept watching her as she killed more mortal in his name.
In a final twirl bathing her Rozen Écarlate de Sanguine Joueur and left golden claw in fresh, warm blood she decided to mock her prey and also please her soulmate/Dark God for her performance by bowing to him and her victims as they responded as she predicted with anger charging at her thinking that she was distracted but it was all a lure while bended in her bowing position she was channeling and gathering her chaotic powers causing a scarlet aura that coated her form once close she released a great scream followed by her body floating slightly from the ground, as this gathered energy was unleashed causing a massive dome burst of scarlet and crimson colored energy that erased them with the surge burning away everything including the bones, the lucky ones were at the edge of her burst those poor souls were killed by the intense blunt force trauma as the energy was deeming and she landed lightly on the floor causing a light clack as her heels came in contact with the ground that same energy clean her skin and clothes Cassandra dusted herself as she was ready to fight and kill more for the Dark One, Laharl.
But at that very moment Laharl decided that it was time to reward his Scarlet Empress, with more than just immortality but daemonhood it was time for her to become a Daemon Queen as the powers of Chaos and Carnage bended to his command and covered Cassandra in a violet colored pillar as she screamed as the ruinous power of the Immaterium was reshaping her, floating in the middle as a shadowed silhouette as everyone stopped fighting and watched her glorious moment...
