Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 180 "Active" Request to Join the Battle of Fire Wheel

Horus Lupercal, standing in the circular viewing gallery of the Emperor's flagship, the Bucephalus, frowned as he looked through the curved glass at the group of savages in the restaurant below.

They were out of tune with the magnificent ships, and their crudely crafted armor looked primitive and ugly.

Their tattooed skin was dirty, their hair even dirtier.

Even at a distance of more than sixty meters, the Primarch could smell the stench.

They acted like children, playing with the glassware and light bulbs that decorated the dining table.

When primitive people broke objects while playing, they laughed out loud.

They sniffed suspiciously at the fine wines and expensive food, then laughed at the waiters who brought the dishes.

They are disrespectful, unworthy, and mock the Emperor's generosity.

Horus frowned. Even though he followed the Emperor's teachings and accepted his responsibilities as a good brother, he could not find any trace of civilization in the Fenrisians.

[Compared to the Kosonians and Voskonians, they were barbarians.]
He turned around while thinking and looked at Ningluo who was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"My brother, it's good to see you again."

"I am amazed by your achievements and I am so proud of you."

"Not as good as the Luna Wolves, Horus. Your Legion's exploits are unmatched."

Horus did not continue to explore this issue. The rapid expansion of the "Shadow of Order", which conquered fourteen star systems in five years, made him feel tremendous pressure.

After the Luna Wolves launched an all-out attack and captured nineteen star systems, the Wolf God learned that Nimrod had forced the Knight World to surrender.

After hearing about the Emperor's joy and the grand ceremony Terra had in welcoming Nimrod, Horus was eager to conquer the same world and dedicate it to his father.

Although the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet quickly conquered eleven star systems, it did not find the Knight World.

It wasn't until he heard that the Shadow of Order had slowed down and started building in the galaxies they occupied that he felt the pressure eased a little.

"The Shadow of Order has done more. I have heard that your legion brought a new order to the worlds that joined the Empire."

"Your Fourth Chapter, after occupying six star systems of the Orb Alliance, has been constructing on the world renamed Necromunda."

Nimrod walked to the curved corridor and looked down at the Fenrisians below.

"The Emperor agrees with me."

Horus said this with excitement and appreciation.

"Every lost colony we reunite with should be transformed. It should be enlightened by the Imperial Truth and transformed into a shining pearl and a prosperous nation in this vast territory. This is our duty."

"On this point, the Order of Shadows has done a better job than the Moon Wolves. I have asked the Council of Four Kings to study your approach and ask the captains and captains to follow suit."

"I'm not sure if those Fenrisians can be like the Vostroyans."

Horus looked at Nimrod. "I heard he challenged you and your offspring to a hunt, but all were defeated."

"Yes, we won."

Nimrod nodded slightly, but instead of satisfying Horus's curiosity and describing the hunting process in detail, he returned to the previous topic.

"They see the Emperor as the All-Father, the Spirit King descended from the celestial realms, and they carry out whatever the All-Father commands."

"This is a violation of the Imperial Truth. Father has already said that he is not a god."

Horus frowned and said angrily.

"He was a great man, but he was still human."

"He has to understand that."

"Ruth and they will understand."

As the voice rang out, the Emperor appeared behind the two Primarchs.

He walked to the curved corridor, looked down, his eyes flashing, and spoke with interest.

"Enoch Rashivan met his genetic father."

Nimrod also looked over. The Fenrisians did not show any fear of the Astartes. They were much shorter than the Space Marines, but Jorin and others still tracked every move of the Sixth Legion soldiers with their eyes.

Yolin and the others did not understand the badge and combat honors of the Raptor Leader; they were simply evaluating the strength of the person in front of them compared to Sanchez.

The Wolf King and Enoch looked at each other and recognized each other.

Leman Russ grasped Ranok's shoulders. "My cub."

The Lord of the Sixth Legion then knelt on his knees, bowed his head and knelt at the feet of the Father of Genes, offering his loyalty and legion.

The Emperor watched as Ranok, relieved of his duties as Lord of the Sixth Legion, left and gestured towards the hall.

"Horus, will you go to see your brother?"

Horus looked towards the restaurant. The Wolf King was looking up at him with a savage grin on his face.

"Yes."

"Nimrod, come with me."

Nimrod and Horus nodded to each other and followed the Emperor to the bridge.

As soon as he stepped into the strategic room, Ningluo looked at the golden-armored warrior holding a spear.

The Primarch keenly sensed an aura from the spear, a powerful yet repulsive aura similar to the Spear of Dionysus. Spear of Apollo!

At the same time, Nimrod also confirmed the identity of the person who held this artifact.

Feeling the Primarch's gaze, the Emperor began his introductions.

"Constantine Valdor, my Lord Commander of the Custodians."

"Nimrod, Primarch of the 11th Legion."

After Nimrod and Valdor had exchanged greetings, the Emperor addressed the Grand Marshal of the Custodians.

"Waldo, show the condition of the fire wheel."

"We currently have limited knowledge of the Flame Wheel Galaxy. What we can confirm now is that this galaxy has eight planets."

"A powerful Orc warlord rises and establishes an Orc Empire, with billions of greenskins gathered under his command."

When Ning Lu heard this, he understood the purpose of Old Man Huang looking for him, he thought to himself.

[In the "Battle of the Wheel of Fire", the Space Wolves fought for five years and lost one-third of their forces.

Because of the Wolf King's achievements and the great sacrifice of the "Space Wolves", Leman Russ was rewarded by the Old Man Huang.

The artifact forged by Old Man Huang himself, the Spear of Dionysus, is a pair with the Spear of the Sun God.

One of the most powerful fortresses in the galaxy - the Wolf Fang.]
"The orcs of the Firewheel Galaxy pose a huge threat to the expansion of the empire."

"..."

After listening to Waldo's briefing, the "briber" "took the initiative" to ask for the order.

"My Lord, I am willing to lead my legion to the Fire Wheel Galaxy, purify the evil greenskins, and present the head of the orc warlord to you."

The Lord of Mankind smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"My son, I believe you can defeat all powerful enemies."

Upon hearing this, Nimrod felt something melting inside his body, and he was just a little bit away from digesting the Briber potion.

[After beating the Fire Wheel, offer the Orc Warlord's head to Old Man Huang to completely digest the "Briber" potion.

Although it was a fierce battle, the orcs also had a lot of potion materials, especially the auxiliary materials needed for the "Corrupted Baron". The 11 teeth of the Evil Moon Clan orcs would definitely be enough.

Besides, I should also get the Wolf Fang Castle and the Spear of Dionysus. I don't want that artifact, but I'd like to exchange it for something else. Would Old Man Huang agree?]
While Nimrod pondered, the Emperor continued.

"Your brother Rus will also go to the Wheel of Fire after receiving his instruction and completing the Terran Celebration."

Upon hearing this, Nimrod couldn't help but feel worried.

[Isn't it possible that the Wolf King and I each get one? I want the Wolf Fang Fort, not the Spear of Dionysus!]
"You will come with us to Terra, to the Wheel of Fire."

[Is this to start a competition between me and the Wolf King, or to promote cooperation between us?
It would be a good idea to go to Terra. Tierney should have digested the "Thief" potion by now, so I could promote him to Sequence 8 "Trickster" and send him the Strong Brain Cat.

If he finds the trail of the eight-legged black wolf, he can also obtain it at the same time.]
While he was thinking, the Lord of Mankind spoke again.

"Come with me, I have something important to discuss and I need your opinion."

Ninglu followed Old Man Huang into a private room.

After the two sat down, Old Man Huang activated the rune and the shielding force field was turned on.

"I'd like to know your opinion of psykers?"

"Your legion has more psykers than most legions, and the Fifteenth Legion, which you command, has an even larger number of psykers."

"I have faced the Warp and know the disasters that lurk within it. Russ's opposition to psionics is well-founded."

Ningluo was silent for a moment, his brain spinning rapidly. After a moment, he spoke cautiously.

"Psionics is a weapon, like a bolter, and only a fool would abandon it in battle."

"Like any weapon, lack of training makes it dangerous."

"A warrior who has trained and understands its power can direct it toward the right target when released."

For the sake of the Legion's psykers and to conceal the existence of the Beyonders, he must support the use of psykers.

But he cannot show that he is obsessed with the subspace, and like Chagatai Khan, he calls it a tool that can be advanced or retreated.

The Lord of mankind remained silent as he weighed Nimrod's words.

"The dangers of psychic powers outweigh all others, but their use will aid the Great Crusade."

"I allow the Legions to experimentally establish think tank departments until my judgment."

"My Lord, as you wish."

Nimrod returned to the Shadow of the King and issued orders for each chapter to set up a think tank department.

He also sent a message to Arsène Dunn, Sanchez and others on the surface of Fenris, summoning them to return to the flagship.

By asking and observing the aura of the "provocateur", Nimrod was shocked to find that Sanchez had digested the potion in a short period of time.

Nimrod then promoted Sanchez to Sequence 7 "Arsonist". Three days later, the fleet set sail for Terra.
