Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 17: Killing King Boleslaw
King Boleslaw hurriedly put on the exquisite power armor given to the first generation of kings by the sage Kivio. He found courage in the multi-barrel laser mounted on his arm.

He still remembered that when he was eighteen years old, he put on the armor and tested its power on the training ground. With a single salvo, he destroyed the Miguel steel training dummy.

King Bolesław shouted to his personal guards, "Follow me and kill the traitor!"

Then he strode towards the palace gate.

Just after taking three steps, the door was broken down with a loud bang.

The king's guards rushed towards Nimrod.

King Bolesław raised his arms. He finally found an opportunity and pulled the trigger without mercy. Dozens of beams of light shot towards the gate in succession.

The beam that could penetrate armored vehicles pierced the back of the heads of several loyal guards, but he felt no sadness at all. As long as he could kill the demonic and terrifying enemy, everything was worth it.

King Bolesław saw two beams of light hit the giant and penetrate his armor.

He widened his eyes. The giant did not fall down, and was not even penetrated by the laser. After the dazzling light dissipated, through the two holes, he could only see that his fair skin was a little dull.

[monster!]
The next moment, Ningluo appeared in front of King Boleslaw and punched him, knocking him dozens of meters away.

When Howard and others climbed to the top floor of the palace, they saw King Boleslaw smashed into the wall and turned into a living sculpture.

The blond noble was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses. A new era had arrived. As the earliest surrenderer, he should let the new king see his value.

"My Lord, if you want to control the Tezvok Hive, you must win the support of the Mechanicus."

Seeing that he was not nervous, Ningluo had some guesses in his mind, so he opened his spiritual vision.

Through practice, after his genes awakened, he tried to integrate clairvoyance into his superhuman senses.

Without tapping his brows as usual, he successfully opened his clairvoyance through psychological suggestion a second later.

"You seem to have a plan. Tell me about it."

"My Lord, what the Adeptus Mechanicus truly cares about is the industrial capacity of the Tezvok Hive, the resources and product share they can turn over."

"The Finder family has always had close ties with the Adeptus Mechanicus. I would like to speak with Kaminsky on your behalf."

Nimrod saw that Howard's aura was red, passionate and excited, and white, bright and positive, which was consistent with the emotional characteristics of someone who had just pledged allegiance to him and was eager to perform and prove himself.

"Yes, you will negotiate with the Mechanicus on my behalf."

Nimrod and Howard quickly agreed on the basic principles, and he was responsible for negotiating the terms, which he would finally finalize.

He turned off his clairvoyance, took the communicator handed to him by Howard, confirmed the communication channel, and spoke.

"Order your men to enter the defensive positions outside the Nest Tower and establish a defense line."

Due to Howard's surrender and the collapse of morale, several turrets were still usable.

The confidants currently do not have the ability to operate these sophisticated weapons, and the loyalty of the Finder family still needs to be examined, so Nimrod decided to let them be responsible for the outer defense.

"Yes, my lord."

After Howard accepted the order, he immediately withdrew from the nest tower with his family guards, and then used the defensive position to establish defense.

Bukayo and Rawlslev came up to him. The dagger in the boy's hand was soaked in blood. Having completed his revenge, he spoke.

"My Lord, I have slain all the remnants of the Bolesław family."

"Only Prince Robert of the Bolesław family, and he's not in Vostronia."

"I was interrogating his wife. The Sea Symphony, which supplied food to Vostronia, was invaded by aliens. Kaminski came to visit in person, and eventually Robert led the family's armed forces there."

By the time the prince returned, Nimrod had already taken control of the situation, and he was more concerned about the alien threat.

"Alien pirates?"

"My Lord, she doesn't know the details. She only knows that it was Sage Kaminsky's request that Robert personally lead the team."

Nimrod nodded. He wanted to know about the aliens, but he could only ask later. Rawlslev then said, "Sir, the Nest Tower has been sealed off and the cleansing is underway."

Nimrod ordered Rollslev to build defenses and clear out the remnants in the nest tower, and then said to Bukayo.

"You will act alone and scout the situation on the upper nest."

"As you command, my lord."

The two also found a communicator on the corpse. After exchanging communication channels, he asked the two to leave and returned to the "Land of Disorder" in the deserted palace.

Ningluo suddenly felt that his body also had that light and floating feeling.

[Could it be? After I advance to Sequence 8, my body can also enter the "Land of Disorder."]
The next moment, his body disappeared from the palace.

After Nimrod arrived in the "Kingdom of Disorder", he immediately discovered that the entire Black Mist Kingdom had changed again.

On the other side of the black bricks under his feet, there seemed to be thirty-three layers of space hidden deep in the swirling smoke.

There are many buildings looming on each floor, and on the highest floor, there is a majestic palace.

He tried to go to the space on the other side, and soon his body came to the lowest space on the other side.

He tried to go to a higher level, but his body did not move. It was obvious that he did not have permission to access another area.

Nimrod came to a stone house and compared the other side he was in before with the current space.

[This place is more realistic, time passes, there is a concept of space, and even the buildings are real.

The other side is like a shadow of this place, more ethereal, unaffected by the laws of physics, more ethereal, vast and infinite.]
He thought about it and then returned to the real world.

The changes in the "Land of Disorder" can be used as a refuge.

Hmm? My body enters the realm of reality.]
Ningluo's black eyes sparkled, and countless wonderful ideas emerged in his mind. He decided to give them a try later to see if his ideas were feasible.

With a thought, he came to the blasphemous stone tablet on the shadow side and found that there was another change.

All 22 Sequence 9 potion recipes have been unlocked, except for two: "The Abyss" and "The Bound."

The Sequence 8 potion formulas, except for "Barbarian", were not introduced. He turned his attention to the Sequence 7 potion formulas of his own path.

Sequence 7 "Briber" Potion Recipe:
Main materials: 1 Night Fragment, 1 Umbra Monster.

Supplementary materials: 1100 ml of Hellas Volt, 1 light sculpture of a space monkey.

Extraordinary ability: ...

Ningluo frowned upon seeing this, realizing that it would be impossible to advance to Sequence 7 in such a short period of time.

It's not just because the three materials on the slate are dull except for Lasvolt, but also because of his understanding of these three materials.

Umbrals are in some ways the easiest to find, living in the void and drawn to areas that resonate with the Warp.

A ship undertaking a Warp voyage is certain to attract Umbrals, but the Tech-Priests and Mechanics responsible for the Warp Drives and Engine Vents rarely notice their mere 80mm diameter brutes.

The Space Apes are creations of the Old Ones. They live in large families of a dozen individuals, roaming randomly throughout the galaxy, their only goal being survival.

Dark Night Fragments are psychic substances possessed by the Furao people, and the Empire's fortune tellers will use them as divination focuses in the future.

The Flao have established a nomadic empire in the Hazy Star Region. Like the space monkeys, finding them requires a bit of luck.

Ningluo was slightly disappointed, he thought to himself.

[After conquering Vostroya, cooperate with the Mechanicus to leave the planet and expand to the surrounding areas, collecting potion materials along the way.]
After he left the "Land of Disorder" and returned to the real world, he walked to the wall.

When Nimrod took the ring from King Boleslaw, he was unable to fully control the surging power, and he pulled his hand off like pulling a carrot with soil.
