Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 610 The Shadow of "Terra"
The flagship of the Eleventh Chapter, the Son of Vostonia.

"My lord, as you predicted, they did not launch an attack, but only sent a fleet of sixteen warships." The silver-haired Arsena Dunn glanced at the data panel.

"We received a message from the 'Emperor,' which, after translation, roughly means:"

"In the long, lonely night of antiquity, he protected the flame of human civilization, ensuring its continued existence. He preserved these extremely precious and vital fragments of civilization intact to this day, hoping to reconnect with his fellow human beings scattered throughout the galaxy in the future."

"He was overjoyed that the great moment had finally arrived, as long as the warships of the lost orphans swore an oath to him."

"He is the emperor, the ruler of mankind."

Ninglu's lips curled up. Old Man Huang at least possessed great power. This empire of the Pocket Kingdom really thought too highly of himself.

He knew that neither the Emperor nor the people of Terra would accept reality; the Horus of his memory had exhausted all diplomatic means.

Ninglu turned his gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window to Maria Kournikova, the "Pleasure Witch".

Wearing a perfectly tailored, masterfully crafted beige, fitted long dress, she, as a former "assassin," is still not quite used to being publicly exposed to the public eye.

“Maria, from this moment on, you are the owner of this relic-class warship and the patriarch of the ancient Kournikova family.”

Yelena, as the first prime minister of Vostonia, formed a cabinet for Nimrod.

As the Kournikova family rose to prominence, it had long become the largest family in Vostonia, with influence extending beyond star sectors and even star domains. They possessed assets and influence in many worlds of the extreme star domain.

Kournikova's family is now a truly large and influential one.

However, Maria was not a direct descendant of the ruling family and had always been trained as an assassin. After following Nimrod, she became a blade in the shadows and did not possess the noble qualities that had been cultivated and accumulated over the years.

However, the allure of the "Pleasure Witch" and her relic-class warship will inevitably make her the object of pursuit for the powerful and wealthy.

"You will become the most honored guest of 'Terra'."

"As you wish, my lord."

Marlena Skala, a bio-psychic, scrutinized Maria, who was bowing respectfully.

The cinched silk belt accentuated her over two-meter height, revealing a contrasting fragility that evoked pity.

Malena was startled and entered the first level of Thelma's state of mind, staring at Maria in astonishment.

Maria, who possesses both a beautiful appearance and a perfect figure, is so captivating that even she, with her bio-engineered physique, is affected by her charm.

[The effect of the power granted by our Lord.]
Malena thought firmly, [Yes, still not as good as my lord, even in normal times.]
The images of Craven and the ancient Gandhi surface, exuding the ultimate masculine beauty, flashed through her mind.

Marlena immediately mobilized her bio-energy to suppress the restlessness of her cells and dispel the burgeoning blasphemous thoughts.

As Malena pondered, Maria walked up to the sonic array device. Her tone was solemn yet captivating, and the officers around her couldn't help but stare at her.

“This is truly delightful news, I am Maria, Countess of the Kournikova family.”

"Request permission to travel to 'Terra' and meet the 'Emperor'."

"Terra" means palace spires.

On the "Golden Throne," the "Emperor," dressed in a purple robe with yellow plum blossoms, listened to the report.

"I will grant her request, and the human empire will once again encompass the starry sea; this is destiny."

"Everything is ready, and everything begins here."

"I will welcome her with open arms."

The Emperor was not worried about the warship entering orbit, even though the scans showed that its weapon systems were powerful and ancient.

His throne world has six hundred warships, one warship being insignificant.

……

The “Terra” starport resounded with beautiful melodies as the “Emperor’s” envoys welcomed the Kournikova family to their visit.

Nimrod, accompanied by four lords including Bukayo Arshavin and extraordinary beings such as Arsena, descended from the deck.

The Primarch held the Staff of Osiris, his eyes flashing with light.

"Hypnotist" Diana Pauline looked around, but no one was looking at them; it was as if they were invisible.

My "psychological invisibility" can only conceal myself, but my Lord can make a group of us undetectable.

Hmm... This is easy for my lord.

Craven's power is the true manifestation of our Lord's might.
As Diana pondered, four lords, including Per Koscielny, dressed in black robes, disappeared one after another into the shadow of the aircraft.

They will travel to the other four of the nine worlds in their own way.

They were the alternative plan that failed to create chaos in Terra.

On the outer edge of the galaxy, the fleets of the four warbands are also constantly jumping from Mandeville Point into the real world, forming a blockade line around the Pocket Empire within the galaxy.

As the grand welcoming banquet unfolded, figures emerged from the shadows of the Son of Vostonia. The "assassins," aided by their Macarton suits, unleashed trails of silk, rapidly dispersing amidst the shadows of containers, loading and unloading machines, and aircraft.

The "thieves" were even bolder and more direct. Relying on their improved Yard-type mimicry and color-changing abilities, they openly spread their wings and glided to their landing.

The biting wind lashed against his black suit as Tierney gazed down at the buildings that were becoming clearer.

The "deciphering scholar," with his "exceptional observations," overlooked numerous buildings and discovered a castle among the towering structures.

It has the most towers piled on top, and its buildings have cold, hard lines.

His extensive experience as a "thief" in another Terra enabled him to confirm that the utilitarian military-style house must be the residence of a high-ranking military officer.

He twisted his body, and his wings landed towards the castle.

Tierney landed outside the castle. The Black Emperor's intelligence report on Terra mentioned the existence of invisible warriors.

Aside from the palace spire where the "Golden Throne" is located, the residences of military commanders are most likely to be guarded by elite warriors.

The "deciphering scholar" activated his spiritual vision and cautiously approached the castle.

Tierney nimbly climbed the outer wall of the castle, and the familiar feeling awakened the memories of the "thief".

He found an empty room 270 meters above the ground and pulled out a dagger.

Under the control of "Agile Hands," the dagger moved slightly, gently prying open a crack in the edge of the window.

He subtly perceives the details and adjusts the balance accordingly.

A few seconds later, the window opened silently, and Tierney slipped inside.

As he landed on the blanket, the window closed silently.

The "deciphering scholar" scanned the room with his eyes, and his spiritual intuition was immediately triggered.

He went to a cabinet, silently pried it open with a dagger, and left no trace on it.

Disappointment flashed in Tierney's eyes when he saw the coins and jewelry.

He casually opened the cabinet below and was pleasantly surprised to find a thick paper document in the bottom drawer, which had not triggered his spiritual intuition. It was a structural drawing of a building.

The "decryption scholar" flipped through the pages quickly, his mind racing, searching through the many buildings for the room most likely to contain important documents.

He put the documents back where they were, then climbed out the window.

The "deciphering scholar" carefully moved along the outer wall toward the target.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly.

The "deciphering scholar" deactivated his spiritual vision and looked in that direction; the hazy figure from before suddenly vanished.

The "deciphering scholar" activated his spiritual vision again, and immediately a figure that was almost imperceptible came into view. He was more blurry than the others he had encountered along the way.

The "deciphering scholar" looked around and his eyes lit up. He found a beautifully decorated piece of glass about fifteen meters to his right.

The "deciphering scholar" slowly moved to the window and pulled out a thread that was invisible to the naked eye, made of the same material as the Eldar cloak.

The "deciphering scholar" gently twisted his wrist, pried open the gap, and twisted the thread, reaching through the gap to attach it to the fire alarm on the wall.

Experienced "fraudsters" not only use "eloquence" to "mislead people's thinking," but also through the arrangement of the surrounding environment.

As he lit the fabric, he moved toward the archives.

A piercing alarm sounded, and the "deciphering scholar," seeing the figure moving quickly, immediately climbed overboard.

In the bustling capital, amidst the dazzling light, thousands of figures darted through the shadows.

The "thieves" carefully infiltrate, while the "assassins" establish their base of operations.

The following day, "The Country of Disorder".

Ning Lu Nian's power spread, delivering the hundreds of data panels that Tierney had sacrificed to Dementieva.

"Incite the discontented nobles to unite and start a rebellion."

"Assassinate the commander and take possession of the other families' belongings."

This time, due to the requirements of the promotion ceremony, he did not let the senior "Guardian of Knowledge" Alcena analyze and select candidates, but took charge of it himself.

"My Lord, follow Your will."

Dementieva returned to the real world, reviewed the documents, and discovered that the Black Emperor had been categorized and the required abilities were specified.

She immediately summoned the "witches" hidden among the maids and assigned them the targets.

The "witches" left the spire in batches, quietly in the shadows.
