Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 393 The Unwavering Space Dwarf

The "Corrupted Baron" rapidly increased his understanding of the Skot Alliance after interacting with the Ancestral Shrine through "sleight of hand".

The Primarch's superhuman brain, combined with images, allows him to quickly master the Space Dwarfs' language, gaining a deeper understanding of the alliance every day.

As a young league, Scouts lack the time and experience to mature compared to other leagues.

Powerful weapons such as shock weapons are rarely used; they are kept as secret weapons by the elite forces of each clan and are not deployed on a large scale.

Most Hearthborn are equipped with bedrock-type bomb guns and Void Armor. Compared to Imperial weapons, their biggest advantage is that they are more stable, more reliable, and better able to adapt to extreme environments such as the high radiation levels in the Galactic Core.

In terms of important parameters such as firepower and protection, it has no advantage over the human empire's bomb guns and power armor.

The advantage of the space dwarves' weaponry will only become apparent when it comes to competing for mineral resources in the center of the galaxy, especially in the desolate lands.

Aside from the origins of the Skot Alliance, the first thing the "Corrupted Baron" gained from the interaction was the technology of cloning brocade.

Cloning Brocade is the technology by which Wotan uses stored genetic templates to create various space dwarves such as the Hearthblood, Ironblood, and Grimnir Sages.

The original genome, with its superhuman memory, imprinted relevant knowledge into its memory.

Although he possessed the relevant knowledge, Ning Lu did not fully understand the gene-based human creation technology.

He decided to leave this to a professional, Malena Scarla.

After inspecting the items collected by the Honor Guard and finding no potion ingredients, Ninglu left the Spear of Dionysus on the cabin floor and then went to the "Land of Chaos".

His spirituality spread and touched the green orb of light.

When the "Corrupted Baron" saw Malena inspecting the plants alone in the fields, with no one around, he had a sudden thought and pulled her into the "Land of Chaos".

Marlena was enveloped in black mist. When she came to her senses, she found herself in a mysterious space.

After looking around, she respectfully bowed to the Black Emperor.

"My lord."

"Did you gain anything from the fragments of Sam-Han's Ark?" Ninglu asked.

Malena's brown eyes flickered, and she spoke:
"I used the abilities you granted me to dismantle the Eldar Ark fragments and gained a certain understanding of how they created an ecosystem in the void."

"I will dismantle the Ark fragments, rebuild the lower deck, and transform it into an ecological garden."

"Because only the Bone Singers can master the method of building the Ark, there will be no more gains until the secrets are obtained from them."

Ning Lu nodded slightly, "The research will be temporarily suspended. The war with the Spirit Race will continue, and you will obtain the complete Spirit Race Ark in the future."

"How is the farmland construction in Katachon progressing? Will it be able to be maintained after you leave?"

Malena replied, "My lord, I used Eldar modification technology to transform the environment of Katachon, transforming a total of twenty-three square kilometers of farmland."

"This is also the limit that a 'farmer' can sustain."

"You shall set off immediately for the center of the galaxy and take over the genetic research of the space dwarves," Ninglu instructed. In addition to the space dwarves, Gadinar also possessed unique expertise in biological genetics.

After returning to the real world, Nimrod met with Thomas, who had just returned from the Attila system.

“My lord, after you left, we studied the memory crystals in the stone chamber and gained a basic understanding of the runes of the space necromancers.”

"After we stopped maintaining the factory, and with no Netherworld structures left, we continued our exploration of the Jemenga megaliths and studied the second chamber."

"Upon stepping into the stone chamber, I discovered that my connection with the subspace had been severed." Thomas recalled the feeling at the time, feeling both physically and mentally uncomfortable.

Despite his powerful abilities as a "wizard," the feeling of losing his psychic powers and his soul having lost its anchor is still extremely unsettling.

"After studying the memory crystal and the black stone structure, the Armory Master and Miguel Cuesta concluded that the stone chamber controls the generation and maintenance of the anti-spiritual energy field."

"The array is currently dormant. Once activated, the anti-psychic field will expand from the stone chamber to the entire obelisk and even the entire galaxy."

"I left behind a recorder and several editors to assist them in their work and to study the anti-spiritual field."

Ning Lu pushed a data crystal in front of the think tank director.

"The sage Grimnir of the space dwarves possesses some special runes; you should study them."

"They also possess subspace circuits that can enhance psionic abilities, as well as methods to sever psionic circuits."

"However, this technology only has a significant effect on ordinary psionicists and is not very effective on the Shadow of Order. Further research is needed before it can be used by think tanks."

“Yes, my lord,” Thomas replied.

Five days later, Thomas boarded a warship of the Third Fleet and traveled with the fleet to the D-1510 system.

As the Nimrod Project proceeded, Wotan faced threats, with clans from other star systems continuously sending fleets to the Skot system to provide support.

Once the reconnaissance fleet dispatched by "Shadow of Order" determines that other star systems are vulnerable, it will send out its own fleet to launch a surprise attack on underground cities while these systems are undefended.

Upon confirming that the D-1510 system was undefended, the Third Fleet was ordered to proceed.

The fleet in the D-1510 system was defeated by the Third Chapter within twelve stellar days, and Thomas led his forces to storm Hearthburg.

After Thomas plunged underground, his consciousness spread outwards, and he discovered that the entire underground passage had been transformed into a complex network of tunnels.

The space dwarves can emerge from all sides and launch attacks from all directions.

His consciousness swept over the space dwarves, feeling as if he were hitting stones.

"Ready to fight!"

Thomas discovered that the nearest space dwarfs were less than a kilometer away from them.

[This is the shield-weaving technique mentioned in the documents issued by our Lord.]
"The enemy uses shield-weaving technology to create energy cloaks, which they use to lurk and approach us."

"This technology can weave together the energy used by the refractor and the conversion field, and interweave special energies such as magnetic pulses to create a multi-band shield that can be folded up into an energy cloak to provide protection for individual soldiers."

"Energy capable of covering an entire squad, large vehicles, or even the entire dome."

Thomas said, quickly marking the space dwarf he had discovered on the divination box and displaying it on the team channel.

At the same time, he ascended to the third level of the Thelma realm, mobilizing the power of the Staff of Osiris, and his consciousness seeped into the minds of the two space dwarves.

Thomas's consciousness seemed to have crashed into a hard rock door, the impact sending ripples through his mind.

He calmed the discomfort caused by the emotional shock and thought to himself.

Just as my lord said, the space dwarves are determined and mind magic has little effect on them.

This group of space dwarves, while elite, isn't exactly top-tier, but I think even breaking through their defenses won't be easy.
Thomas touched the pockets and bottles hanging on his power armor. Although his psychic powers were useless, he was still a "wizard".
