Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 292 Divination of Kassadin

830.M30, the third month in Vostochnya.

In the Primarch Palace, the silver-haired Arsena Dunne stood before the throne, reporting to Nimrod.

"My lord, Lucius the World Forger, in accordance with the covenant, provides the Legion with military supplies."

"Lucius's powerful production capacity means the Legion need not worry about this, and is sufficient to ensure the Legion can carry out large-scale campaigns."

"The Emperor was overjoyed to learn that you had found the lost world of Lucius, and he has once again gifted you an ancient relic warship."

Ning Lu couldn't help but think, "[Old Huang has so many good things, he even has a relic-class warship.]"
After a moment's thought, he said, "Give it to the Seventh Battle Group."

Each chapter has Relic-class warships, granting them a range advantage in Void combat. Now is the time to focus on enhancing this advantage for a single chapter.

As a hunter, Sanchez is best able to leverage this advantage.

"Inform the Arbitration Lord to prepare for the receipt of the Glory Queen-class warship."

To date, among all the legion's battle regiments, the 7th Battle Regiment has achieved the highest merit, followed by the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Battle Regiments, whose achievements belong to the first tier.

Nimrod found suitable recruitment worlds for the Third and Seventh Armies, and also rewarded the Seventh Armies with a Relic-class warship.

He also considered that the First Battle Group usually held special significance in each legion, so he decided to award Mars, the first of his three newly built Queen Glory-class battleships, to the First Battle Group.

After the Primarch's attendant took notes, he continued, "It is worth noting that the Third Legion made great sacrifices in the Proxima Centauri Rebellion and was rewarded by the Emperor by being allowed to wear the Imperial Aquila emblem on their chests."

"But because of the enormous sacrifices, and the fact that Terra's gene bank was attacked by a virus and the gene seeds on the moon were stolen, after suffering three major blows, they were left with only two hundred people."

Nimrod knew this was the work of the "Selena Gene Order," who were forced to submit to the Empire, especially by being forced to cede the Moon's Sleeping Fortress as the residence of the Silent Sisters, and thus harbored resentment towards the Empire.

They released the wilt virus into the genetically modified seeds of the Third Army.

The disappearance of the gene seed is a good thing for the figurine king.

Ninglu knew that although the Empire would not confirm its first contact with the Necromancers until 897.M41, several Necromancer dynasties would awaken before then.

The Necromancer overlord of the Nihilak dynasty, Tarasin the Endless, was among the first Necromancers to awaken from the Great Hibernation.

From the beginning of the "Unification Wars," he mingled in various imperial institutions, adding to the collections of his museum.

Thinking of this, Ninglu thought to himself: [The Solemnas Museum has many rare collections, among which there must be a lot of potion materials.]

When I have some free time, I'll divine the world of Solemnus in the crypts and wipe him out in one fell swoop.
Nimrod was in no hurry to wipe them all out at once. The longer he waited, the more treasures Tarasin would collect for him. The right time to act would be when he was confident enough and when the legion was not engaged in any major battles.

[With the Great Expedition and the Horus Rebellion both looming, it's not a good time for the legions to make enemies. We'll wait until after the Grand Birthday Celebration to schedule a divination.]
Nimrod then thought of the Third Legion, which was currently at its lowest point, but a turning point was coming soon, as Forgrim would return.

The pharmacist extracted genes from him, and the pure gene seeds he cultivated would allow the Third Legion's forces to steadily increase.

Nimrod's thoughts returned from the Third Legion to his own legion, contemplating its future development.

[With the supply problem solved, it's time to divine the world of Kasayi; the Kasers are suitable candidates for the Eighth Chapter's recruitment.]
In 830.M30, according to official Imperial records, the Lord of Mankind in Chemoth retrieved Primarch Vograim of the Third Legion, and the sixth Primarch returned to the Empire.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Nimrod discovered that the prophecy dice in the "Land of Chaos" were fully charged, and then proceeded to the fourth level of space.

His spirituality spread toward the crimson sphere, and the "briber" felt his spirituality rapidly depleting.

Nimrod saw Thierry Vieira, clad in black armor, weaving among the aliens, wielding his charged blade and slashing at enemies in gray armor.

He stared for two seconds, and after realizing that the gray-armored enemy posed little threat to Thierry, a thought struck him.

The message Ninglu wanted to convey appeared in his mind and was transmitted to the sphere of light through a subtle connection.

Suddenly, black mist rose in Thierry's mind, and a towering figure sat high on the throne.

[Black Emperor!]
Unaffected by this, he flicked his wrist and, using the second technique of "Osberh-Vaya," wielded the charged blade to deliver a backhand thrust.

The power sword spun like a serpent, piercing into the gray-armored alien's body.

As the disintegrating force field tore apart the alien's body, the Black Emperor's majestic voice echoed in Thierry's mind.

"After the battle, we will offer prayers."

After the battle, Thierry immediately returned to his flagship, the Relic-class battleship HMS Blade.

He cleaned himself in the captain's quarters and changed into a black robe.

After creating a spiritual atmosphere with a ritual knife, Thierry knelt on a black onyx cushion and began reciting the formal incantation in Dunn:
"The Black Emperor of the Shadow of Order"
……

I pray for Your watchful gaze.

"...The Iron Laws of the King, the foundation of a disordered kingdom, please transfer your power to my incantation."

Black mist rose and engulfed Thierry's body.

"My lord!" Thierry bowed to the Black Emperor. Ever since being defeated by Nimrod and then avenging himself with his help, Thierry had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the king.

After that, Thierry received the King's power, which opened the door to a new world.

After the Primarch returned to the Empire, he became the first shadow of the Order among the Vostonians.

When the Black Emperor summoned him in the mysterious space, Thierry immediately took Him as his faith.

"I want to hear the report from the Eighth Battle Group."

Nimrod did not use the Prophecy Dice to divine the star map from Vostoria to Kassayi, instead sending the Eighth Legion back to Vostoria before proceeding, thus wasting time.

Information from the Star Language Communication was not real-time, but fortunately he was able to keep track of the Eighth Warband's location through the "Disordered Country".

"My lord, the Eighth Warband has been fighting in the Tyne system, west of the Vostonia sub-sector, on the Milky Way star map for nearly five months."

"It is expected that the aliens in the Tyne Galaxy will be purified in three weeks."

"Currently, the Eighth Battle Group has a total of 8,150 Order Shadows."

Since Nimrod has already selected the recruitment world for the Eighth Battle Group, the number of replacements for the Eighth Battle Group has been reduced accordingly.

Apart from the 7th Regiment, whose new recruits were growing slowly, the 8th Regiment, along with the 6th, 10th, and 12th Regiments, were the four regiments in the legion with fewer than 10,000 men. The reason for the other three regiments was that they had not yet found any truly capable people whom he recognized.

"Wait at the altar." After Ning Lu severed his connection with the crimson orb, he felt the blood-red chain wrapped around his little finger rapidly restoring his spirituality.

He took a step and entered the third level of space.

Nimrod picked up the prophecy die, his mind racing through all the information he knew about Kassadin.

The Kassadians of Kasayi are excellent warriors.

……

The Qasse people have passed down the Elvira sword technique through generations, which, according to the local language, means "the talent of the blade."

The "Elvira sword technique" includes the "Ganfaso style," the "Tarnvira style," and so on...

The "Ganfaso style" involves drawing an 8 shape in the air with a sword.

...]

Nimrod knew little about Kassa, only about Elvira.

He quickly went through it in his mind and then silently recited it to himself.

[Star map of the Tyne system leading to Kasayi.]

[…]
After reciting it silently eleven times, he stretched out his hand and threw the prophecy dice in his hand.

After the triangular cone tumbled several times in the air, it landed in Ning Lu's outstretched hand, and a scene that looked like a holographic projection appeared before his eyes.

After noting down the star chart, Ninglu input it into the prepared data crystal, while silently thinking to himself.

He flashed back to the fourth level of space, his spirituality fully restored, enveloping the data crystal.

With a thought, Ning Lu sent the data crystal and information into the deep red light sphere.

The Blade, the altar.

Thierry, who was devoutly repeating his prayers, was enveloped in black mist. He saw the Black Emperor sitting high on his throne and heard a majestic voice in his ears.

"Follow the star map to Kassadin, which will be the recruiting world for your chapter."

"The Kasers are excellent warriors; recruit them into your warband."

“Learn the ‘Elvira Sword Technique’.”

Thierry picked up the data crystal that had appeared out of thin air on the altar, "Follow Your will."

　P.S.: Nimrod will not go with Old Man Huang to welcome back every Primarch. He will only write about things that are beneficial and have plot points to write about. For example, when Forgrim saw Old Man Huang, he immediately knelt down and submitted. I couldn't think of any plot points to write about that. He can't just be a spectator.

　　The names I've confirmed to write are, in order: Vaucan, Magnus, Motalian, and Omega.
