Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 397 The Path of the Ferocious Avenger

In 850, the knight world of Krisis was discovered, and the Kriss Knights family on this planet joined the Empire.

Chrysis is the third Knight world discovered by Nimrod in the Daxos Gemini system and Dametus.

In the fifth solar month of the same year, a fleet of the Ninth Legion arrived at the Skot system in the center of the Milky Way.

Nimrod met with Szesny and think tank member Nicholas in his private office.

"My lord, in accordance with your command, Firestorm Star has begun forging the Iron Cavalry Terminator Armor, a total of fifty-two sets."

"To you, we present the first batch of Iron Cavalry-type Terminators, a total of fifty-two sets."

Ninglu leaned back in his chair, staring at Szesny.

"My Stormlord, the Ironclad Terminator, is a priority equip for warbands against the Skot Alliance."

"You and the royal monks of your warband will soon receive more suitable equipment."

Not long ago, Rosicky Cech prayed to the Black Emperor, reporting the successful research on the prototypes of the Saturn Terminator and the Saturn Dauntless.

Vokhan allowed him to take a portion of the prototype to the center of the galaxy for testing in battle against the Skots.

Once Rosicky arrives, Nimrod will have him begin researching various suits suitable for extraordinary individuals.

"My Lord, as you wish."

“I will obey any command I receive.”

Nimrod looked at Szesny, who remained as loyal as he had been in Vostonia.

His world provides equipment to other chapters without a single complaint.

The "Corrupted Baron" observed Szesny's spirit and saw a pure azure blue, like the ocean.

"You have already mastered the power I bestowed upon you?"

“My lord, I think so,” Szesny said with certainty.

"After conquering the main planet of Tarasa, I organized a fleet to venture deep into the ocean and hunt down the Sahadunes who had fled after invading the world."

“After I rounded up a hundred Sahadui people during a hunt, I had that broken feeling I had experienced the first two times when I had completely mastered power.”

After confirming that Nicholas had digested the potion of the "Wrathful People," Nimrod spoke.

"Alsena, take Stormlord and Nicholas outside and wait a while to check on the progress of the Iron Cavalry reinforcements."

He then went to the "Land of Chaos" and ordered the space apes to first concoct the "Navigator" potion, and then use materials such as the blue-eyed sea eagle found inside the Void Whale to concoct the Sequence 6 "Windbringer" potion.

A moment later, Ninglu looked at the newly promoted "Wind Favorite" and "Navigator" in front of him and pushed a data crystal in front of them.

"It contains the Eldar's 'Path of the Ferocious Avenger,' which is very suitable for your warband. You and Nicholas should study it together."

The Way of the Ferocious Avenger is Nimrod's third branch of the Way, following the Way of the Fire Dragon and the Way of the Howling Banshee, which he unearthed from the mind of Slau Da.

It took him a considerable amount of time to adapt the "Path of the Violent Avenger" to a version suitable for the Shadow of Order.

Szesny picked up the data crystal, a hint of doubt in his mind.

I spoke with members of the Eldar Hunters Order of the Warband, and they learned that the Ferocious Avengers wield their Star Darts with precision, unleashing their fury upon their enemies.

It seems to have little connection with "sailor", "angry people", "navigator" and "wind-loving one".

However, since my lord has said so, he must be right.
Ninglu keenly noticed the doubt in Szesny and Nicholas's eyes, and he said with a smile.

"The suitability I'm referring to isn't reflected in the external appearance of the star dart weapon, but rather in its essence."

"The Ferocious Avengers are patient and methodical warriors; they are fierce on offense and unwavering on defense."

"The 'Path of the Ferocious Avenger' grants them unique abilities, allowing them to perceive the ebb and flow of battle, much like a sailor reading the tides and using their power to overwhelm the enemy."

“They might unleash a barrage of fire in an instant, then charge into the enemy lines at dawn, or retreat the next moment, luring the enemy into a carefully planned ambush.” Szesny suddenly realized, “My lord, I understand now, the ‘Way of the Ferocious Avenger’ is also the power of a storm, stirring up tides in an instant to swiftly crush the enemy.”

“My lord, I will certainly work with Nicholas to uncover the secrets of the ‘Path of the Vicious Avengers’ and then let the Chapter take control of it.”

Nicholas immediately declared, "Father, I will cooperate with the Storm Lord to master the 'Path of the Ferocious Avenger'."

After Szesny and Nicholas left, Nimrod gave instructions to the Primarch's servants;

"The first battle group equipped with Iron Cavalry Terminators is launching an attack on Skot's Hearthburg."

The "Shadow of Order" has gained the upper hand in the void war and is able to launch an offensive against the Skot Prime.

"Each battle group takes turns to fight, and the Iron Cavalry Terminator is equipped to the battle group that launches the offensive."

"As you command, my lord."

Ninglu then got up and went into Malena Scala's biological laboratory.

The biologist's long hair was loose, each strand of golden hair swaying like a venomous snake.

Ninglu knew that the "biologist's" hair didn't just look like a venomous snake, but was actually highly poisonous.

After Malena arrived on the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod confirmed that she had digested the "Harvest Priest" potion and then used the Snakebite Clan venom obtained in the "Wheel of Flames" campaign to concoct the "Biologist" potion.

After Marlena was promoted to Sequence 6 "Biologist", she took over the research work on the bio-brocade technology of the space dwarves.

With her brown eyes, Malena saw the Black Emperor enter and put the strange creature she was holding back into its cage.

Ninglu glanced at it; the creature had a gray-black, snake-like body, exhibiting clear characteristics of the Katachon venomous snake.

It has a white mouse head and is a new species resulting from the hybridization of two organisms.

The "biologist" turned on the tap, washing the blood and grime from his hands, and began to speak.

"I used the cloning weaving technology of the space dwarves to improve my hybrid organisms."

"I've found that physical transformation is much easier than mental transformation."

"Improving the resilience of muscle tissue is easier than improving resistance to psionic attacks."

As Marlena spoke, her fair fingers tapped on the touch panel.

The metal cage flashed with blinding electric light, striking the hybrid organism.

The white fur on the rat's head stood on end, and its snake-like body twisted.

Ninglu saw the hybrid rat-headed, snake-bodied creature writhing and struggling in the cage, emitting painful hissing cries.

The progenitor astutely observed that, despite the pitiful appearance of the rat-headed, snake-bodied hybrid, it had not suffered any substantial harm.

Subsequently, the hybrid organism underwent another thirteen tests, including exposure to strong radiation and intense light, and it passed all of them.

Marlena tapped on the touch panel again, and two thin, colored probes were inserted into the cage.

A flash of light, and psionic lightning struck the hybrid creature.

The rat-headed, snake-bodied monster let out a sharp, painful howl, collapsed in its cage, and lay motionless.

"Higher white blood cell and red blood cell concentrations make them more adaptable to extreme environments such as strong radiation, and more resilient to attacks."

"I can only perform genetic modifications to improve physical toughness right now."

Marlena began, “The psionic resistance modification of the space dwarves involves the warp and the soul, and it will take me longer to understand it.”

"Continue the research," Ning Lu ordered, and then left.
