Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 300 Providing Assistance to Vokhan

Ninglu accepted Wokan's request for a meeting and gladly went.

After the two Primarchs chatted for a while, Vorkan spoke up:
“Ninlu, my brother, Cassian Vaughn told me that you possess fortress-level energy shield technology, capable of constructing shields far more powerful than ordinary void shields, protecting cities the size of hive cities.”

Volkan had already consulted with the Legion's technical sergeants and learned that the Empire's standard Void Shield could only protect an area the size of the seven cities currently on Nocturne.

The fortress-level energy shield offers protection with a range and strength many times greater than a regular void shield, providing shelter for a much larger population of Nocturne.

Ninglu hadn't expected that before he could even recommend him to Wokan, Wokan would be so eager to find him. He nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"The Nocturnal planet experiences frequent volcanic eruptions, each one causing countless deaths," Vokan said sadly.

"Please provide assistance to Nocturne Star."

“Of course,” Ninglu agreed immediately. “I will send a technical team to build a fortress-level energy shield for Nocturne and provide maintenance.”

The fortress-level energy shield requires technical maintenance. In Ninglu's memory, the rulers of the Vigilant Star, the Agammonus family, cooperated with the world-forging firm Huangquan No. 8, ceding a continent—the Hongbei District—to them.

A technical sergeant of the "Shadow of Order," commanding the Legion's minions, capable of maintaining the seven cities of Nocturne.

The technology of fortress-level energy shields is the core technology for protecting numerous cities.

Ninglu will not trade with any faction. The only thing he can offer to Volkan and Nocturne is a technical team, which will also bring him long-term returns.

"Correspondingly, I hope that the human resources I invest will be compensated accordingly."

"You are an excellent blacksmith. The weapons you casually forge could allow the technical team to serve Nocturne for twenty years." If you could exchange them for weapons forged by Vokhan, that would be the best option and the top priority.

Vokhan forged thousands of unique and dangerous weapons, but before heading to the Istvan V, he ordered the first father of the forge, 'T'Kel, to destroy most of them, leaving only seven.

Ninglu considered this to be a huge waste.

“I accept.” Vokan immediately agreed, and to protect the people of Nocturne, he did not hesitate to do the blacksmithing work he was most familiar with.

“This warhammer was forged during our hunting competitions,” Vokhan said, taking the silver warhammer from his waist.

"I am giving it to you both to thank you for your spirit in the previous competition and for your willingness to provide a fortress-level energy shield to benefit the people of Nocturne."

“I will forge five weapons to compensate your technical team for the first hundred years of service.”

Ninglu accepted the silver warhammer: "This is a weapon with commemorative significance."

"The fire lizards of the Dead Volcano are interesting creatures, and I'd like to trade them for the produce of Sepra Mandy and Triken."

[Nocturne Star has long traded its mineral resources with oil merchants in exchange for items that cannot be manufactured.]
Ninglu planned to snatch the oilman's business ahead of time, but what he wanted wasn't minerals, but fire lizards.

[The world under my rule is not lacking in minerals; the Triken system alone has abundant mineral deposits.]
“Okay.” Vokan accepted the deal.

"I will send my sons to discuss the relevant details."

After parting ways with Vokhan, he gave orders to Arsena Dunn to select technical sergeants to be in charge of the fortress-level energy shield, and to select "lawyers" from the Honor Guard to be in charge of trade with Nocturne.

Ninglu himself boarded the Stormbird and headed for the Imperial flagship, the Busepharos.

He met Old Man Huang in the luxurious reception room.

After listening to Ning Lu's report, Old Man Huang said, "You performed exceptionally well in this competition and deserve a reward."

"I will gift you two Relic-class warships."

[Is there no chance to enter the treasure vault to choose?] Ninglu was somewhat disappointed.

[However, two Relic-class warships are not bad either.]
Nimrod immediately returned to the Shadow of Kings, summoned the Primarch's servants, and began to inquire.

"What's the situation with the rebellion in the Osiris Sector?"

“My lord,” the silver-haired Arsena reported after reviewing the documents, “Glen Wosoto, commander of the Thirteenth Legion, has led 14,000 Sons of War to the Osiris Sector to quell the rebellion.”

The Thirteenth Army Corps was formed in the early stages of the "Great Expedition" and later in the "Unification War".

The soldiers came from the Pampokro tribe near the equator, the war families of the Saragon enclave, the oligarchic nests of Midafric, and cannibalistic tribes in the Caucasus wilderness.

They had one thing in common: these forces did not surrender, but resolutely resisted the Emperor's army's attack and were almost completely wiped out.

Ultimately, these tribes were left with only detained refugees and orphans left behind by violent conflict. Because they came from different tribes, the Thirteenth Legion was called the "Sons of War," meaning they were formed through war.

Ning Lu shook his head, thinking to himself.

Just as I remembered, Wosoto was misled by intelligence and underestimated Osiris's rebellion, failing to mobilize his full strength.

The Thirteenth Army currently has 33,000 men, and Wosotho has not deployed all of his war foes.

Under normal circumstances, 14,000 sons of war could indeed carry out decapitation strikes and quickly quell the rebellion, but he did not know that the rebels were controlled by the Mind Control Seed.

But the rebels were leaderless; the Son of War beheaded one, and the Mind Controlling Seed immediately chose a new one to deceive the enemy.
Ninglu decided to set off immediately for the Osiris sector.

Besides rushing to rescue the annihilated counterinsurgency fleet, he also knew that the failure of the counterinsurgency in Wosotho was a major strategic failure.

In 834, the remaining 20,000-plus Sons of War of the 12th Fleet arrived in the Osiris Sector once again, but the Osiris Mind Controlling Seed, the mastermind behind it all, had vanished without a trace, leaving only ruins behind.

The Thirteenth Army suffered heavy losses and its morale was low. It was not until Robert Guilliman returned and investigated the whereabouts of the mind-controlling seed of Osiris that the army was able to recover.

Ninglu needs to act quickly to solve the Mind Control Seed problem and obtain the materials for the magic potion.

"Order the fleet to set sail for the OSIRIS Sector." "After the Relic-class warships arrive, sail to Katachon, where they will be taken over by the remaining forces."

Ninglu then went to the armory, placed the silver warhammer on the weapon rack, and casually tossed the Dionysian Spear to the ground.

Upon returning to the palace, he immediately traveled to the "Land of Chaos".

Ninglu's rays spread towards the fiery red sphere, rapidly depleting the "briber's" spirituality.

He saw Sanchez, dressed in black armor and wearing a Ruth Wolf helmet, moving among the Dark Eldar.

The arsonist raised his hand, and blazing flames engulfed several Elven race members. The majestic voice of the Black Emperor echoed in his mind.

"After the battle, we will offer prayers."

After the battle, Sanchez immediately returned to his flagship, the Relic-class battleship Void Hunter.

After bathing and purifying his body, he went to the altar, used a ritual knife to create a spiritual environment, and then prayed.

After Sanchez recited the name of the Black Emperor, a moment later, the black mist engulfed his body.

Upon arriving in the mysterious space, he heard the majestic voice of the Black Emperor.

"Seventh Legion, what's the current situation?"

“My lord,” Sanchez bowed.

"The Seventh Battle Group has just received a new batch of 1,574 recruits, bringing the total number of Order Shadows to 7,293."

"The Catachan Regiment follows the previous structure of the Vostonia Regiment, with a standard size of 2,500 people per regiment."

"There are currently ten Catachan regiments, as well as two Catachan Banshee regiments trained by Malena Scala."

After reporting on the military situation, Sanchez gave a brief report on the rest of the situation.

"Marlena built five experimental farms in Katachon, where she planted raspberry and pomelo trees, oats, rapeseed, cabbage and soybeans respectively."

"The Forge Master is in the Katachon system, and the portal he has built is complete."

"Katachan does not have a permanent metropolis, so it is impossible to deploy a fortress-level energy shield."

After careful consideration, Ninglu issued the order.

"I have just acquired two Relic-class warships, which will belong to the Seventh Squadron. You leave the necessary personnel to take over them."

"Katachan will leave behind the necessary troops; the rest will proceed to the OSIRIS Sector."

“Yes, my lord,” Sanchez replied.

The Thunder of Thesaran, flagship of the 12th Expeditionary Fleet in the Osiris Sector.

Legion Commander Wosoto looked at the holographic image in front of him, which was filled with countless red dots, like an ocean, surrounding the scattered green dots.

The green dot represents the destruction of at least one enemy ship with each round of shelling.

But those mortal ships, like mad, bloodthirsty sharks, tore at his fleet.

Wosoto clenched his gauntlets, unable to understand how a counterinsurgency operation had escalated into the current situation.

The commando team sent to the ground carried out the decapitation strike, but the rebel command system remained unaffected and launched an even more frenzied attack.

From the very beginning, the Void War was surrounded by countless enemy ships that came from various star systems.

I failed!

Osiris's rebellion is a crisis far more serious than I had anticipated.
"Lord Wosoto, we have lost all our escort ships, and our flagship has been subjected to all-around firepower."

"Port side Void Shield No. 25 is overloaded."

“Starboard Void Shield No. 13 is overloaded.”

"..."

Wosoto examined the screen; countless red dots filled the area around his ship.

"Star Language Master, send a message: the Osiris rebellion is a major threat."

"Command of the Legion will be taken over by Marius Gage."

"..."

"Artillery commander, unleash a barrage of fire on the rebel fleet. Sink the traitor fleet as much as possible before we are sunk."

"For the Empire and the Emperor of Man!"

Just then, the sound array master's excited voice rang out.

"My lord... the bird divination array has detected a large number of ship signals."

"Reading 13 returned, keel tag identification result confirmed, 33rd Fleet, quantity 215 ships..."
