Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 138 Tailawa Immigration

Ningluo sat on the black alloy chair in the reception room and looked at Thor, the chief of the Tailawa tribe in front of him.

He has black hair and soft facial features, slightly high cheekbones and a slightly wide nose. His skin is reddish-brown and his eyes are light gray.

Thor wore a gray robe with lightning and mineral-like runes on it.

He bowed and saluted. "Greetings, Primarch of the XI Legion, Lord Nimrod."

"Nice to meet you, Chief Thor."

"Please have some tea. This is black tea grown in the Cradle of the Sea. The Emperor himself, after tasting it, praised its excellent quality."

Before Thor came here, he had specially collected intelligence.

In several versions of Nimrod's meeting with the Emperor, it is mentioned that the Primarch treated the Emperor to black tea, and the Emperor greatly appreciated the taste of the tea.

"My pleasure."

Ningluo talked to Thor about the close cooperation between Tailawa and Old Man Huang, and talked about the customs and habits of the territory under his rule for a while, then he asked.

"Why did you come to see me today?"

When Thor saw the Primarch asking, he explained his purpose.

"Sir, I hope to gain your support in securing Tailawa's colonization in the Taiping Star Region."

The Primarch's eyes were deep, and his consciousness spread to Thor. After penetrating the door that was like a furnace, he understood the difficulties that Tailawa was facing and the purpose of the patriarch's visit.

During the era of Terra's unification, the Terrava tribe cooperated closely with the Huang Laohan, but with the signing of the Olympia Treaty, their position was gradually replaced by the Mechanicus.

Thor realized that he had to find a new way out, so he decided to lead the Terrawans out of Terra and colonize other worlds.

The Tailawa people prepared for this for more than ten years, but unfortunately, they suffered a major failure in their first colonization.

The Terrava colonial fleet encountered a powerful alien, a squid-like alien.

In the end, the Terravans lost more than half of their fleet, and the remaining ships fled back to Terra in a panic.

The Tailawa people suffered a devastating defeat, which not only consumed a large amount of resources but also resulted in the deaths of countless members of the tribe. This was a heavy blow.

[The Terravans may have disappeared in the smoke of history because of the failure of interstellar colonization.

Of course, it is also possible that they established their own colony outside of Terra, but later lost contact with Terra.

Well, the planet they discovered was Tanis.]
When Nimrod saw the name of the world of Tanis in Thor's mind, he immediately thought of Tanis's First and Only Regiment, and Gaunt, one of the three legendary commissars of the Empire.

He also thought that the only main material needed for the "Gate" Pathway Sequence 9 "Apprentice" was the Nar Maggot.

Nimrod remembered that the Nar tree was a tree native to Tanis. Its most distinctive feature was that its roots would break through the soil and move itself to receive as much sunlight and rain as possible.

The locals of Tanis have an unerring sense of direction, which is the result of their years of traveling through the forests of the Nar tree.

The nar grub lives in the soft bark of the nar tree.

[Well, the Nar tree is full of treasures. Its wood is the best quality wood in the entire empire.

It can be used to make the stocks of laser guns, or as a solid material for building coffins and non-enhanced prosthetic limbs. After the destruction of Tanis, the wood of the Nar tree even became a luxury item.

The Nar fruit produced by the Nar tree is also edible.]
Nimrod also learned from Thor's mind the reason why he wanted to see him.

Just as the Terrava colony fleet was returning to Terra in disarray, Thor happened to hear that the Primarch had arrived on Terra.

Ning Lu's series of brilliant achievements gave him an idea to ask the Primarch for help.

"My Lord Primarch, Tailavar left Terra not long ago."

"We discovered a new human colony, but we also encountered powerful aliens. They are squid-like in appearance. We call them the Thales."

"I hope you can provide us with assistance. In return, the Terrava people will repay us with technology. We have technology inherited from the 'Dark Age of Technology'."

The Primarch was silent for a few seconds, his mind spinning at high speed, using the intelligence gained from telepathy to iterate the plan he had previously conceived.

A moment later, Nimrod, smiling, offered Thor a proposal. "Chief of the Terava clan, I think you should know that I just captured a star system—Triken—from the barbaric Eldar aliens."

"That galaxy has five virgin worlds of the Eldar. Not only are they beautiful, but they're also rich in minerals. The main star, in particular, is even capable of building a forge world."

Arsene on the side understood and immediately operated the data board to show Thor Triken's information.

Thor's pale grey eyes were fixed on the data slate.

Triken Prime is more suitable for Terrava than Tanis, which they discovered.

Moreover, the Primarch showed all this to him, obviously not to show off, but to recruit him, Thor asked in surprise.

"Lord Nimrod, do you mean that Tailawa can go to Triken Prime to develop?"

"That's right," Nimrod smiled and nodded, "If you are willing."

Thor, knowing there was no such thing as a free dinner, asked the Primarch.

"Sir, of course I am willing, but at what price?"

"It's simple," Nimrod said with a smile, "obey my orders. Every activity of Tailahua in Triken and my territory must be carried out according to my will."

Thor frowned slightly, "Please tell me more."

"My development plans for Tricon Prime will not come at the expense of the environment and future sustainable development. Your development projects must first be approved."

"I also need the technology of Tailawa. I will also provide you with the technology discovered by my legion, such as the ether cannon technology of the Furao people."

Thor fell silent. In the past, he would not have agreed to Nimrod's request.

It is better to develop your own world independently than to be controlled by others.

But the failure of the colonial fleet made him realize the cruelty of the galaxy and that the aliens were more dangerous than he had expected.

After more than ten seconds, Thor made a decision to send some people to the Trikon system to develop under the protection of the powerful 11th Legion.

At the same time, preparations are being made for another attempt at exploration and interstellar colonization.

The western part of the galaxy is dangerous, so change direction and head to the eastern part of the galaxy.

Even if they suffer losses again, a tribe of Triken will develop and grow stronger.

"Lord Nimrod, I am willing to accept your terms."

The Primarch read Thor's mind and understood his thoughts.

He didn't take it seriously. It was normal not to put all the chips on one field and to prepare for the back-up plan, unless he was left with no other options.

It would be enough if the Terravas could develop Triken Prime according to his requirements and provide him with the technology he needs. The crises they encounter in space would make them realize that surrendering to him is the best option.

"Send me the star map leading to the world you discovered, and I will deal with the aliens."

Besides the Nar Grubs, the Eye of Thales is the only potion needed for the Visionary Pathway, Sequence 9, Audience, and Tanis is a world of value.

Nimrod decided to conquer Tanis and use it as a strategic point for the 11th Legion in the Pacific Sector.

A few days after recruiting the Terrava immigrants, Nimrod traveled around Terra during the day, searching for potion materials.

In the evening he received the visiting nobles, and he selected two of their families and accepted their allegiance.

In his free time, he would study the contents of the Book of Thelema.

On the eleventh day after arriving on Terra, the Primarch received a report from Mars that the Glorious Queen-class battleships built for the XI Legion had been completed and were entering the final testing phase.

Therefore, the captain of Nimrod's future flagship was naturally put on the agenda.

The Primarch could choose from among the Vostroyans, and Malcador offered Nimrod five excellent candidates.
