Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 514 Ran Dan's Full-Scale Invasion
Ninglu walked to Peturabo's side and gazed at the Milky Way star map.

He saw countless crimson dots of light spreading across the northwestern part of the Milky Way, and thought to himself.

The operation to deploy the Ramirez-class fortress, quickly liberate Shana, and subsequently retake the Bad Habits Sector together with Peturabo was effective.

The epicenter of the war is not my core territory.
Ninglu also noticed that the Colonid New District in the northeastern part of the Milky Way had inevitably been invaded.

The Primarch picked up the data panel and examined the information; a torrent of data flashed through his mind.

The Pulheim Sector has fallen, and 1.4 billion immigrants have been enslaved by aliens.

The Rosa Subsector was invaded by an alien fleet, and Expeditionary Fleet 365 encountered an artificial war satellite, resulting in the annihilation of the entire fleet.

The Ryan system was invaded, the 804 Expeditionary Fleet was destroyed, and four regiments of the Solar Auxiliary Army were reinforced by the 36th Company of the Fifth Legion to carry out guerrilla resistance.

The Fortress World is under siege and has been out of communication for over forty-one standard days.

...]

A moment later, the Primarch found the information he needed in the deluge of data.

Thirty-two worlds, including Abyss Harbor, Lethe, Weeping, and Corlando, have been invaded by aliens with metallic skins.

Ning Lu's eyes narrowed. Abyss Port was the transportation hub of the new district of Colonid, and it could not be lost.

Although there are Ramirez-class Starfortress guards, it is not foolproof, and we must break the siege as soon as possible.

In the northeastern part of the Milky Way, an alien with a metallic skin...

Basmemanic.
The trident of Balsa Couturi, Alastor Rorschach, and Peturabo connects the data panel to the Thinker and examines reports.

They all looked grim. The previous battle with the aliens had already caused them considerable losses. They thought they had severely damaged the aliens, but they did not expect the alien army to launch an even more ferocious attack.

They couldn't help but think that the alien they were encountering was more powerful than any other alien they had met before.

They are even more powerful than the Orc Empire of the Flame Wheel Galaxy, and the Metu who rule the new district of Kronid.

Arsène Dunn had anticipated this; he knew the Black Emperor had been making preparations all along.

The pre-built Ramirez-class star fortresses were not deployed, and He also ordered all Legion warriors to gather at the Caligum Gate, except for the necessary guard forces.

As everyone pondered, Peturabo's icy blue eyes turned to Ninglu.

"We must develop a battle plan."

Nimrod nodded. "We should report to the War Council and the Emperor and seek their support."

We must get Old Man Huang to mobilize the Ominous Signs Cult, and we must also get other legions to send reinforcements.

"Space Shark" and "Ash Claw", along with Balsa and others, are not enough.

I want to corrupt even more people!
“I agree.” Peturabo realized that what Nimrod had said in the War Council was prescient, and they needed more support.

After the two Primarchs reached a consensus, they immediately submitted a request for support to the War Council in their joint name.

Peturabo stared intently at the star map. "Reinforcements will take time to arrive; we must act immediately."

Ninglu nodded slightly. He had already devised a plan, and now he just needed to get Peturabo's approval.

"Xana can provide strong support for our counter-offensive; it is our base."

"The 'Iron Warriors' have established numerous fortresses in the Bad Habits Sector."

“I want your legion to guard this line. I believe no alien can break through the steel line you have built.”

Ninglu raised his hand and drew a region on the star map, including the Shana and the Bad Habits star sector.

"This area is our secure rear."

“With the ‘Iron Warriors’ at the center, we can steadily advance and gradually reclaim the lost world.” “Of course,” Perturabo said confidently, “I will crush all the aliens.”

Seeing that Peturabo had accepted his arrangements, Ninglu continued.

He then drew a straight line on the star map, like a sharp knife.

"My legion will advance all the way, reclaim the Imperial world, leave guards behind, and return to the Caligum Gate."

"Then I will send them directly to the strategic core area through the Caligum Gate to open up new fronts."

“To strike the aliens with a hammer blow,” Perturabo exclaimed. “I agree with your plan.”

After five more standard hours, Nimrod discussed the details of the plan with Peturabo, then boarded his shuttle and flew back to the Shadow of the Throne.

Upon returning to the Primarch's office, he gave instructions to Arsena.

"Immediately order the second, third, fourth, fifth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth battle groups to launch an attack on the Ran Dan aliens."

"..."

"The Ninth Warband's target is Behentem."

Primarch's servants wrote down the orders one by one, "As you command, my lord."

After leaving the Spear of Dionysus on the weapon rack, Nimrod went to the "Land of Chaos".

With a thought, his spirituality spread, he touched the sphere of light, and after confirming that Howard Find, Sanchez, and Thierry Vieira were alone, he pulled them into the "Land of Chaos".

Impasqual's abilities had not yet reached the standard set by Nimrod, and he did not inform the Lord of the Sixth Warband, the Black Emperor, or the prayer ritual.

Upon arriving in the mysterious kingdom shrouded in black mist, the three immediately bowed to the Black Emperor on the throne.

"My lord."

"The new district of Colony has been invaded. You will immediately lead your battle groups to Abyss Harbor." After saying this, Ninglu sent the image and information of Sloth to the three of them via telepathy.

“You need to be extra careful. The invasion of Basmemanic by Randan may be related to Shlos.”

"Be careful if you encounter the Shloths. Among them are those who can fight against the Primarchs, or even stronger ones."

Seeing the gleam in Thierry's eyes, Ninglu knew that Thierry loved to challenge the strong, so he emphasized his words and gave a serious warning.

"Never engage him alone!"

He emphasized, saying to the "Weapon Master," "Your weapon cannot cause any real damage to the worm-men's regeneration."

"Find an opportunity to throw a grenade inside them; that's your only chance."

“Sanchez,” Nimrod said to “The Arsonist,” “your flames are the same, but more flexible and have a greater chance of success than a grenade.”

“Howard,” he said to the “judge,” “your ‘prohibition’ can interfere with Shrews’ regenerative abilities, while ‘imprisonment’ might be able to restrain the injured.”

“If possible, ‘imprison’ Shloth.”

Ninglu paused for a moment before continuing.

"Don't force yourself!"

He absolutely did not want Howard to lose his life for potion ingredients.

Based on Keown's report and his memories, Nimrod judged that Howard could handle the Infiltrators alone, but the outcome against the Overseers was uncertain, and he would surely die if he encountered the Destroyers.

After instructing the three, Ninglu said to Howard, "Tell Pasquale to return to the new district of Colony immediately."

As the black mist churned, Ning Lu sent the three of them back to the real world.
