Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 400: The Collaborative "Dance" of the Five Schools of Thought of the "Thousand Sons"

After Rosicky left, Nimrod immediately went to the "Land of Chaos".

He commanded the space apes to concoct the Sequence 6 "Mechanical Expert" potion using materials such as the eight-sided, eight-toothed gears discovered in Necromonda.

After obtaining the golden "Mechanical Expert" potion, he immediately returned to the real world and summoned Rosicky.

Rosicky took the golden potion from Ninglu's outstretched hand, tilted his head back, and drank it.

He heard the sound of countless gears meshing, followed by the roar of machinery.

A moment later, Rosicky withdrew the overflowing potion power and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, my Lord, for this gift. I will certainly make good use of the power you have given me."

"After becoming a 'mechanical expert,' I can complete the manufacturing of the space particle excavator much faster."

"While the space particle excavator can extract entirely new elemental minerals, the accompanying destructive nuclear fusion reaction will also cause irreversible damage to the planet's ecological environment," Ning Lu instructed.

"Once successfully manufactured, it will be deployed in uninhabitable star systems."

"Yes, my lord." The master of the forge accepted the order and left.

Ninglu stepped toward the machine beneath the statue and continued his conversation with the ancestral shrine.

Given Wotan's importance to the Space Dwarves, his actions against the ancestral core of the Skot Alliance will provoke retaliation from many alliances.

More importantly, once the Skot Alliance surrenders to the Empire, the Oilman will persuade the War Council to accept it.

Nimrod has no reason, nor can he, continue to wage war against the Space Dwarves at the expense of the Shadow of Order.

He must hurry and seize the spoils.

The dangerous environment at the center of the Milky Way is unsuitable for human habitation. Only a special species like the Space Dwarfs, who have adopted cloning and weaving techniques, are suited to survive here.

Nimrod did not intend to expend a lot of resources to establish a territory in the center of the galaxy, as there were still many worlds in the galaxy that were easy to develop.

His plan was to trade with the Skot Alliance and acquire resources unique to the central region of the galaxy.

Nimrod is targeting the various technologies hidden within Wotan, as the ancestral shrines may become unable to interact with Wotan due to the distance once they leave the galactic center.

Therefore, he did not immediately join the operation after the "Shadow of Order" launched its landing operation on the main planet of Skot.

Ninglu aims to achieve the strategic goals of the War Council while simultaneously extracting as much knowledge as possible from the STC and other resources stored in Wotan.

During this period, he repeatedly used the "corrupted baron" concept of "sleight of hand," and after his spirituality was exhausted and he recovered, he repeated the cycle of interaction.

Ning Lu strode to the base of the statue, placed his palm on the screen, and activated "Shifting the Concept".

“I am human, and so is the Sage Grimnir.”

“If the Sage Grimnir can interact with Volkan, so can I.”

Nimrod, in his capacity as "Sage Grimnir," pleaded: "Great Ancestor, I need plasma beam weapons to fight against the invading enemy."

Through repeated interactions, he not only mastered the language of the space dwarves, but also learned how to interact proactively.

The genomicon quickly memorized the design template of the Aita-Kahn plasma gun that flashed across the screen.

The "Corrupted Baron" also used every opportunity of interaction to send Wotan the future he foresaw as "the Sage of Grimnir".

As his spirituality was about to be exhausted, he spoke:
"The great ancestor, Primarch Nimrod, will bring hope to the Skot Alliance."

The Skot Alliance should form the Iron Oath Corps to fight alongside the "Shadow of Order".

......"

Ninglu knew that since the "Great Expedition" when humanity rediscovered the space dwarves, some of them had fought alongside the Empire.

Many Iron Oath Legions also leave their homes to become mercenaries, joining various factions in the galaxy to broaden their understanding of it.

Besides acquiring resources through technology and trade, his third target was the armed forces of the space dwarves.

According to the Ninglu Plan, only when the core forces of the Skot Alliance enter the battlefield will he personally enter the battlefield to completely defeat the enemy.

While the "Corrupted Baron" was uncovering the secrets of Wotan, two other Primarchs personally led their warriors in an offensive. The first Sun Moon of 851.

Galaxy D-1519, located on the outer edge of the Milky Way's center.

Magnus's "Thousand Sons" launched a series of surprise attacks, seizing numerous shipyards in the D-1519 system before initiating a landing operation on the planet's surface.

Magnus led the offensive, commanding five thousand Thousands to attack the clan's Hearthburg.

The “Sky Owl School” is his ideology. Apophis and others use Sky Owl techniques to link the minds of all the Thousand Sons together.

Members of the "Sky Owl School" also tried to probe the minds of the enemy, but the Skorts were determined and it was difficult for them to obtain information from them.

Magnus joined the process, and together with several lecturers including Apophis, they peered into the enemy's surface-level thinking.

As the leader of all schools of thought, his skill in every aspect surpassed that of any other.

When the progress of the "Sky Owl School" was hampered, he immediately filled the gap in this area.

The Primarch's powerful psychic abilities and superb skills allowed them to glimpse the Skots's roundabout methods and interception routes from the surface of their resilient thinking.

"The Black Crow School" was Magnus's eyes and ears, a flickering image flashed through Azek Ahriman's mind.

He saw a large number of Ironborn appear at the nine o'clock position, raising plasma cannons and attacking the Thousand Sons.

Ahriman immediately sent a short warning pulse, which touched Magnus's mind in an instant.

The Primitive Gene's incredibly complex thought structure is like a dazzling star in the void, its brilliance illuminating the surrounding stars.

After Ahriman's warning about the future was sent out, the Senko immediately took emergency action.

The thousand members of the "Falcon School" are Magnus's shield; the psychic shields they unleash block the plasma flames.

The "Fire Phoenix School" and the "Bright Feather School" were Magnus's powerful counterattacks, launching attacks against the enemy.

Psionic arcs leaped across the Ironborn's steel shell, turning the solid steel into piles of charred, scattered parts.

One burst after another of psionic flames melted the steel bodies, reducing them, along with the Ironborn, to ashes.

The "Black Crow School" uses precognition to continuously send thought impulses to the Thousand Sons.

Every intervention alters the course of the future, and every outcome stirs up ripples of cause and effect. Through their interaction, these ripples weave together intricate patterns imperceptible to ordinary people. Only Chiko, who has mastered the Black Crow Technique, possesses a sufficiently powerful mind to process this information.

Ahriman experiences dancing with the potential future, witnessing the intertwining of possibilities and inevitabilities into a storm.

It is fickle and unpredictable, its reality and illusion are uncertain.

Ahriman had never experienced a more perfect scene. He smiled as the magnificent dance led by his genetic father, Magnus, dispelled the gloom of the flesh-mutation.

The red cyclops Magnus leads the descendants of the "Sky Owl School," gathering intelligence on the Skots while overseeing the entire war effort.

He discovered that the Skots were more resilient than he had anticipated.

Even though the five major factions united as a whole and used their psionic skills to inflict heavy casualties on them, they not only did not collapse, but also maintained their line of defense and launched a counterattack with all their might.

The "Black Crow School" foresaw those major changes and issued early warnings for surprise attacks, but they could not avoid continuous firepower.

The Skots' intense and relentless firepower was too much for the Falcon School to withstand, with each attack proving too much for them.

The thousand sons of the "Fire Phoenix School" were hit by more than a dozen explosive shells, their power armor was torn apart, and their offspring died.

Seconds later, the "Bright Feather School" was wiped out.

A dozen seconds later, the Falcon School's Thousand Sons' mental energy was exhausted, and their psychic shield shattered.

Magnus raised his arm, and a meteor-like burst of flame rained down from the sky, crashing into the Skoth crowd.

The "Thousand Sons" currently number no more than five thousand, and even with the new recruits undergoing reformation, the total number is less than ten thousand. They cannot afford to be wasted in the brutal underground street fighting.

Magnus strode forward, slashing out with his right-hand scimitar. The rapidly spinning blade felled several Ironborn in succession.

He raised his staff high in his left hand, and his telekinesis swept over dozens of Skots, hurling them into the air and tearing them to shreds.
