Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 395 If not Guilliman, then his son is a good alternative.
The fifth sun month of 849, the Shadow of Reign.

Nimrod met with Thomas, who had returned, in his private office and received a briefing from him.

“My lord, as far as I can see, the equipment of the space dwarves is similar to the weapons used by the Empire. It has a design sense that the technology used by the Empire has never been lost and has continued to develop to the point where it is today.”

"But their equipment levels are not uniform, seemingly because the development of each clan is different, and the clan that has mastered shield weaving technology poses a greater threat."

“The ordinary clans, using what they call bedrock-type bomb guns and void suits, can also threaten the Shadow of Order, especially with their extensive underground tunnel network that allows them to launch attacks from different directions.”

Arsène Dunn, standing to the side, added:

"The space dwarves are more resilient than any enemy the Legion has ever faced. Even when isolated and without support, they will stubbornly resist by relying on their underground fortresses."

"To date, no star system has given up the fight. Even in Rosario, five fortresses still stand stubbornly deep underground."

"The Space Dwarves pose a significant threat to the Legion's warriors. All six participating Legions have suffered over five hundred casualties so far, with the Eleventh Legion bearing the most severe losses, having lost over fifteen hundred Shadow Order warriors."

The Primarch's servant's tone was full of worry; the long-running underground war of attrition had made him concerned about the casualties suffered by the Shadow of Order.

The think tank director sensed the worry in the silver-haired Arsena, and recalling the battlefield situation, he spoke.

"Some of the Ironclad Terminators equipped by the Third Warband offer superior defense compared to the Void Armor. Those equipped with these Shadow Order units will gain a significant advantage in battle."

"But the supplies provided by the Mechanicus are also provided to the 'Shadow of Order,' 'Iron Warriors,' and 'Thousand Sons,' and the Legion only receives fifty sets per year of the Sun."

"The Legion's forged territories have a total production capacity of two hundred sets, but even with the ones provided by the Mechanicus, after being distributed among the six warbands, the quantity is not much and can only be used as a spearhead for assaults."

Ning Lu nodded slightly. "I understand."

After the meeting ended, he had a sudden thought and went to the "Land of Chaos".

[The production capacity of my Extreme Starfield territories, Kos and Gan meteorites, is being invested in shipbuilding and Ramirez-class star fortresses.]

The production capacity of other worlds is still somewhat insufficient to supply the war with the Skot Alliance, so this divination will solve this problem.
Ning Lu conjured up a star map of the Limitless Starfield in his mind and filtered it based on the information he already knew.

His criteria were that the facilities possessed a large number of mature industrial sites that could be put into use immediately after being occupied, providing supplies to the legion.

Within the brain of the progenitor, worlds flashed by rapidly, and after a dozen seconds, only one remained.

Firestorm Star.

Firestorm is the homeworld of the future Aurora Chapter, which was formerly the Ultramarines Fourth Chapter.

During the second military reform, the "Aurora Goddess" was officially established, specializing in lightning-fast armored assault operations, and its arsenal contained far more Raider and Predator tanks than most other combat groups.

This is thanks to their homeworld, Firestorm Star, which is comparable in size to many Forged Worlds, providing the Dawn Goddess with a constant stream of war machines.

Although I have already taken all the gems I wanted in the five hundred worlds of Alterama and do not intend to steal them from him again, there are still a few good worlds outside of Alterama, thanks to Robert Guilliman's son.

Firestorm Star is one of the most industrially developed.

Instead of hijacking Guilliman, hijacking his son wouldn't be bad either. Well, it's still unclaimed territory; first come, first served.
Ninglu picked up the prophecy die, his mind quickly processing the information he knew about Firestorm Star.

Firestorm Planet is an industrially advanced planet, covered with large-scale industrial facilities.

Firestorm Star is located in the eastern region of the Milky Way, between the forging worlds of Incaladion and Attila.

Nimrod chose Firestorm Star for another important reason: to build a bridge between Incaladion and Attila, which he controlled.

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

[Star map of Tarasa leading to the Firestorm Star.]

[…]
The Seventh and Ninth Legions have established themselves in the Extreme Starfield. Within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Legion, Ganyun and Kos are both developed industrial worlds.

Ninglu decided to hand over Firestorm Star to the Ninth Battle Group.

After silently reciting it eleven times, he reached out and tossed the prophecy die in his hand. The triangular pyramid tumbled several times in the air before landing in Ninglu's outstretched hand, and a scene that seemed like a holographic projection appeared before his eyes.

Just as Ninglu was about to return to the real world, he suddenly heard a whisper in his ear.

After a moment's thought, he realized the voice was coming from San Diego Bergkamp.

The spirituality of the "Corrupted Baron" spread, touching the star-like sphere of light. He knelt before the altar, praying to himself.

"The Black Emperor of the Shadow of Order"
……

I pray for Your watchful gaze.

I offer you a sacrifice.

……

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

The Fifth Chapter participated in the war against the Space Dwarves, but San Diego was left behind at Caligum Gate to repair the space station and command his company to continue exploring the remaining Void Whales.

[Has San Diego made a discovery inside the Void Whale?]
With a thought, Ninglu caused the black mist at the altar of the Caligum system to churn, and an invisible gate appeared out of thin air.

The wind howled, and objects flew into the air one by one.

The "Corrupted Baron" noticed a peculiar leaf among the offerings of Saint Diego, with silver and gray veins on its two sides.

Ninglu noticed that it would automatically flip according to the light, with the part closer to the light sphere being silver and the part placed in the black mist being gray.

The main material for Sequence 7 "Lucky One" is Silver Grey Salsa Leaf.

Ning Lu had a thought, and a message was generated in his mind: "Collect the silver-gray double-sided leaves."

He transmitted the message into the sphere of light.

A moment later, San Diego's voice rang out: "Yes, my lord."

Ninglu then went to the first level of space and ordered the space apes to begin preparing the "Lucky One" potion.

Upon returning to the real world, Nimrod handed the silver-gray potion to John.

The powerful cat put the medicine into its mouth and skillfully began meditating, gathering its dissipated power.

Nimrod shared the information with John through a telepathic connection.

The cat with the strong brain quickly ran back to its home, grabbed a pen and paper with its paws, and started writing rapidly on it.

【Firestorm Star...】

John silently read what he had written down, noting down the information on the paper, over and over again.

After eleven repetitions, the "machine" picked up the paper and leaned back on his wooden bed.

The machine conjured a ball of light in its mind, its eyes turned deep black, and it quickly entered a meditative state.

The surroundings suddenly became ethereal, and there seemed to be invisible things and colorful light extending endlessly above.

Images flashed through John's mind, and Nimrod examined them through the mental link.

He saw a monster as tall as Astartes, its body covered in fleshy mud.

With each step the monster took, bits of flesh of varying sizes splattered onto the ground.
