Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 25 Yelena's Political Ambition (Please Read)

Ningluo looked up outside the palace. In addition to Yelena walking in front, there were six other auras.

These six people have received professional training and are good at hiding themselves. They are difficult for ordinary people to detect, but they are extremely clear to the perception of the Primarch.

The seven of them soon arrived outside the palace, and Yelena began to speak.

"I will go to see my king. You will wait outside for my summons to come and see me again."

The countess, wearing a red long dress, walked into the palace and bowed deeply.

"My king."

"Yelena, what do you want?"

"My king, I have come to see you to express my sincere gratitude for handing over the Shimansky family's pharmaceutical business to the Kournikova family. I will not let you down."

Nimrod leaned back and looked at Yelena appraisingly.

"Then I'll wait and see. I hope you can surprise me."

"anything else?"

"My king, please forgive me for being frank. Although your men are powerful, they are limited by their background and environment. At least in the short term, they will not be able to play a significant role in governing Tezwok."

Yelena's eyes burned with fire and she smiled confidently.

"I think you should form a cabinet, and I think I can play a very important role in it."

"Oh?"

Nimrod did not comment. He tapped the table with his fingers, making a dong-dong sound, like the Ohm Messiah bell, ringing in the countess's ears.

After three long seconds, he pushed the dataslate forward.

"Come up with your ideas."

Yelena suppressed her smile, walked to the table, and faced the test seriously.

Her expression gradually changed from stern to relaxed.

"My king, I have a way to quickly rebuild the security forces."

"I believe you must want to rebuild the security forces as soon as possible. This requires a capable person to share your burdens. I happen to have such a person by my side."

"The Kournikova family is a clan of sisters. My husband, Baron Buxar, served the Om Messiah before joining them and served as an independent arbitrator in the dome, which was jointly controlled by Skorupski and the Adeptus Mechanicus."

Yelena took out the data tablet. Her criteria for choosing a spouse were capable people from small noble families. She had conducted careful background checks on each candidate, and now was the time to use them.

"Allow me to show you his file."

The Countess combined the information, gave a detailed introduction, and finally summarized.

“During Buxar’s tenure, he recruited, formed and developed his own arbitration chamber.”

"After joining the Kournikova family, he also adjusted the family's guard system and other systems. In the fifty-two years since the system was implemented, no losses have been suffered, including at the Xiachao Factory."

"Send him a message immediately. I want to see his report before the night shift."

Yelena did not dare to delay and immediately contacted her husband. After turning off the communicator, she continued to wait for Ningluo's instructions.

"Since you think you are capable of forming a cabinet, tell me what you think."

"My king, for thousands of years, due to Bolesław's greed for family property and the Muska people's indifference and conservative cultural traditions, each family has been developing independently."

"Each family's strategy is to protect its own industries and not to expand them. As long as we can deepen our cooperation and integrate Tezvok's resources, we can significantly improve efficiency. The cooperation between the Kournikova family and the Skorupski family proves this."

The Countess recounted the preparations made in advance one by one, and it was obvious that she had thought deeply about them.

"First, we should break down communication barriers and hold activities such as exchange banquets."

"The next step is to set an example. The Kournikova and Fender families can take the lead in establishing a cooperative relationship." "After we gain benefits, we can prove it to the other families with tangible results. Their mindsets will change, and they won't miss out on such a great opportunity."

Nimrod asked Yelena questions from time to time, and the countess answered them one by one.

After two Terra hours, Nimrod nodded with satisfaction.

"You will take the lead in forming a cabinet."

"Thank you for your trust. I will definitely not let you down."

Yelena said excitedly that she had made the same suggestion to the false king Boleslaw, but the greedy fool had no interest at all.

Now, she finally has the opportunity to realize her political ambitions, and the Kournikova family can also use this reform to truly become an important family in Tezvok, rather than just a young and wealthy family.

Just as her heart was agitated, she heard Nimrod ask.

"Are the six people outside the door your people?"

Yelena was stunned for a moment. The six people she brought were elite assassins that she had trained since childhood using genetic technology and drugs.

Even if they attacked together, they might not be a match for the giant before them, but after their transformation, each of them had a light body and footsteps no louder than that of a precious Curl-eared cat, and their breathing was so faint that it was almost inaudible.

This place was away from the entrance, separated by a side hall for audience waiting, an attached lounge, and a servants' tea room. The new king should not have heard what she said just now.

[If they were to face the new king, their only chance would be a sneak attack using their stealth abilities.

Now that they've been discovered by the new king, they have no chance. Fortunately, I don't have any unrealistic ideas.]
The Countess was shocked. She took a deep breath and once again raised her assessment of the new king's combat effectiveness.

"My king, they are all assassins that I carefully trained."

"They will become sharp swords in your hands to kill those who disobey you."

"Let them in."

Yelena immediately switched the communication channel and gave orders.

"Maria, bring them in."

A moment later, six women in black tights and carrying different weapons walked in.

They either carried laser spears or shields and swords...

The six people habitually looked at the giant who was taller than them and sitting on the chair with the eyes of a hunting target.

Then, they met Ning Lu's dark and deep eyes, and the six assassins felt a chill down their spines.

Five of them immediately lowered their heads.

Only the blonde woman with a high nose bridge in the middle bit her lips tightly and persisted stubbornly.

Nimrod glanced at everyone and immediately spoke.

"You will set off immediately to hunt in Mazov and Szczecin."

"The targets are the commanders and nobles of the two hive cities. You can choose the specific targets yourself."

"After twenty-three work cycles, you will come back and report."

After Nimrod decided to capture Lukopol, he then took Mazov and Stettin, connecting the four hives into one.

Sending them there was both to test their strength and to weaken the enemy.

Yelena was stunned. "My king, you..."

"Tezwalk is just the beginning."

Mazov and Stettin aren't as powerful as Lukopo, but their strength is similar to Tezvok. With the new king's combat prowess, they can certainly be conquered.
At Yekaiban, Buxa came in a hurry.
