Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 26: Crazy Puhachi (Please read it later)

Buxar, dressed in a red robe, reported to Nimrod meticulously.

"My king, the plan I have formulated to rebuild the garrison will recruit twelve thousand men."

"Among them, approximately 3,000 were originally from the informal Upper Nest Arbitrators. Because they weren't nobles, they couldn't enter the Arbitration Court, and they were unwilling to go to the Lower Nest. Therefore, they were attached to the security forces and handled cases such as workers' disputes."

"But these arbitrators all have varying levels of experience. I can complete their training in five work cycles. The specific training items and working hours are..."

After listening to the report, Ningluo nodded with satisfaction.

"Buxa, you will be the captain of the Tezwok Guard, effective immediately."

"My king, I will do my utmost to rebuild the security forces within a month."

Buxar said excitedly that he finally got the opportunity to display his talents. In the past, this position was held by King Boleslaw's illegitimate son.

When Yelena led six assassins and Buxa out of the palace, Bukayo got off the speeder in the shantytown next to the Lukopo Hive.

The shantytown residents turned their heads and looked over, and Bukayo noticed their greedy looks.

He immediately drew a laser pistol from his waist and gave orders to the men Howard had assigned to him.

"attack!"

Eighteen minutes later, Bukayo plunged a dagger into the back of a mutant's hand.

"Tell me! Where is the passage that can lead us into the Lukopo Hive?"

A moment later, after getting the information he wanted from the three prisoners, he spoke to the captain next to him, who was wearing a gold-colored uniform with white trim.

Then, Bukayo walked towards Lukpo alone, carrying a backpack that was taller than him.

"You guys wait in the shantytown, I'll go in alone."

"I wish you a safe journey."

The captain looked at Bukayo's back with fear in his eyes. He had never seen such a terrible and ruthless boy before, and he suddenly remembered.

[The new king seemed to be a little shorter than him before, which was really scary. If it weren’t for their different hair and eye colors, I would even suspect that they were brothers.

However, now the new king looks like a god.]
After eight working cycles, Bai Niban.

Tezwok Hive, Water Guild A-167 Reservoir, Water Tower No. 5.

Nimrod stood in the Nest Tower, steady in the howling cold wind.

Next to him, Rollslev was also standing in the cold wind, but he needed to wear a breathing mask.

"The one who keeps jumping into the water, passing out, and then being pulled out again is the best performing recruit."

"His name is Szesny, he's 33 years old, and his parents are both skilled factory workers."

"Except for swimming, he ranked first in every training event, even surpassing many veterans. He is also the only captain I appointed among the new recruits."

Ningluo nodded slightly, looked at the persistent Szesni, shook off his men, and jumped into the pool again. His white body, which was a little swollen from soaking in the water for a long time, quickly sank into the water.

The soldiers wandering around dared to dive into the water and drag him out.

"Yes, strong body and strong will."

"In the subsequent battles, his company followed me."

"Yes, my king."

Nimrod's communicator rang, and he said to Rawlslev after realizing it was from Bukayo.

“You come with me and receive a briefing from Bukayo.”

After returning to the palace, Nimrod saw the young man waiting in the side hall. He looked normal, without any sign of fatigue.

"My Lord," Bukayo said after connecting the data tablet to the meditation machine, "the ruling family of Lukopo is the Piontkovsky family, and the current king is Puhachi."

"The Sosvolods are devout believers in the Messiah of Om. They believe that the flesh is fragile and machines are eternal. Puhachi is even more extreme, forcing everyone around him to undergo cybernetic transformation." "Puhachi controls a direct armed force of 15,000 men, all of whom have undergone cybernetic transformation. This consumes a huge amount of wealth and is the reason why he cannot expand."

Ning Lu looked at the projection. His body was made of streamlined metal and painted red. His left arm was transformed into a folding mechanical knife, and his right arm was a mechanical claw.

There was no trace of human features on his face, and his eyes flashed a dangerous red light.

The scene changed, and a tall, broad-shouldered man with neat short golden hair was holding a long sword. He swiftly chopped off the head of the enemy who was attacking him with his mechanical right arm.

"My king, it's worth noting that this Thierry's father, Count Vieira, refused to undergo mechanical transformation, which affected the family's reproduction, and was therefore decapitated by the mad Puhachi with a mechanical claw."

"After that, Thierry led the remaining guards of his Vieira family to conduct guerrilla warfare in the Lower Nest, attacking Piontkovsky's transportation lines and even launching several attacks on the Upper Nest."

"Puhaqi launched several large-scale clearing operations, but Thierry avoided them in time. I believe someone from the Shangchao family who was dissatisfied with the cruel rule sent him a message."

Bukayo slid his hand and called up one image after another.

"Though only twenty-four, Thierry is already Vostroya's most famous bounty hunter. It's said that he has mastered the Way of Osberch-Vaya to perfection, making him the greatest swordsman."

Upon hearing this, Rawlslev stared at the blond noble on the holographic projection.

"He takes missions from Hive One and several other Hives, and he always completes them. This is also the main source of income for the Freedom Liberator Force he leads."

"Most of these missions were issued by the kings of the hive cities surrounding Lukopo. They have irreconcilable ideologies and conflicts of interest with the extremist Puhachi. It's certain that the Piontkovsky family has no allies."

After listening to the briefing, Nimrod immediately understood Bukayo's emphasis on Thierry.

"You think I should team up with Thierry Vieira and launch an attack on Puhaqi."

"My Lord, it is so."

"If you can subdue Thierry, you will not only gain an armed force familiar with Lukopo, but also a capable general. After the conquest, you will quickly gain the support of the Sosvolod people."

Ningluo tapped his fingers on the table. "Can you find him within four work cycles?"

Bukayo smiled confidently, "My Lord, please leave it to me. I will not let you down."

"You leave immediately. I will contact you after I arrive in Lukopo."

"As you wish, my lord."

Bukayo immediately put away the data tablet, left the palace, and called the captain of the Finder family who had just had a big meal and was resting in the comfortable big bed.

Nimrod looked at Rawlslev and asked, "Is your regiment ready?"

"My king, none of the seriously injured soldiers will retire. They are all willing to continue following you and fighting until death."

"Although the new recruits are young, they are all full of fighting spirit and eager to make achievements."

He said firmly, "I believe you don't want to hear anything you're not prepared for. You've decided to attack immediately."

"Assemble your regiment immediately, and set off for the Night Kai squad, targeting Lukepo."

"Yes, my king."

Nimrod then sent a communication message to Howard and Yelena.

"Curiban, hold court."

In Curiebank, in the remodeled court hall two floors above the top floor, Nimrod sat on a custom-made throne.

The throne is made of Miguel steel and is completely black.

Behind the throne, thirty-three black spears stretched out, and on the middle one was a golden crown. It was the crown of the Bolesław family.

Under the throne, on the left stood the patriarchs of the major families, and on the right was the cabinet that Ye Lina had just built.

"Howard, you go ahead and do the briefing."
