Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 51 Nimrod's Request

Kivio-2 was silent for a few seconds, and then an electronic synthesized sound began to play.

"The riot here has been planned for a long time."

As he spoke, he inserted the mechanical tentacle behind him into the interface of the meditation machine, and the video screen above his head lit up.

Lines of densely packed 0s and 1s, representing technological terms, quickly flashed by, and images appeared on the screen.

[Kemerovo Hive, Altar No. 2.]

A strange man in a blue robe, with a split neck at the back, showing a long vulture-like neck, and a sharp beak poking his bald head from time to time.

He bent over and opened his mouth, his beak opened, and at the same time spewed out blue flames, swallowing dozens of mechas.

"Altar Two has fallen, and the Machine Spirit burns in the foul flames of heresy."

Nimrod sensed a hint of sadness in the sage's tone. After a moment's thought, he realized that this was the emotion captured by "Warp Insight".

Although it is difficult to find traces of flesh and blood in Kivio-2's body, he still has a soul. His cold logic is not everything, and he will still project his emotions into the sea of ​​​​soul.

The sage changed the subject, his tone full of appreciation.

"The Lukopo and Tezwok hives under your control were the most swift and effective in responding to this riot. They not only suppressed the mutant riots but also killed the heretics."

Ningluo had not yet received the report, but a smile appeared on his face when he heard it.

The scene changed, and the screen showed Thierry piercing the enemy with a sword.

[My vision is pretty good. Those who led the mutant riot were obviously followers of Tzeentch, and they were blessed by the "Lord of Change". Howard and Thierry actually took care of them.

This sword strike of his showed that his understanding of "Osberkh-Vaya" had reached a whole new level, and he had also found the true meaning of playing the role of a "warrior".

Their performance makes what I say next more convincing.]
Nimrod then spoke: "The riots started by the heretics have caused great damage to Vostronia."

"I can end this quickly, and with the support of the servants of Om Messiah?"

The logic engine module of Kivio-2 began to run rapidly.

Nimrod boarded the alien warship and secured victory. He wiped out the aliens at Cradle of the Sea. His combat power was like that of a divine machine.

"I am willing to provide you with all the support you can give me. The Skitarii are at your disposal."

"No," Nimrod shook his head. "I need the support of the Skitarii, but even more so, I need the servants of Om Messiah to acknowledge my legitimate rule over Vostronia."

"what?"

Kivio-2 asked in surprise, his anger gleaming in his soul sea.

"The order of Vostronia has lasted for thousands of years. The God of All Machines will never allow you to overthrow Vostronia."

"Does the original order truly realize Vostronia's full potential?"

Nimrod's "extraordinary eloquence" triggered the thinking of the wise men and others.

"The measures I adopted previously significantly improved the efficiency and production capacity of the Hantmann West Dome in a short period of time, and Howard Fender also proved that this system can be replicated."

"If I become king and rule Vostronia, this world will enter an era of prosperity."

He did not reveal all that was in his heart, and what he wanted from Vostronia was not just this.

Although no census had been taken, he knew that Vostronia's total population had always been around one billion.

This is too small, and the small population is also an important reason why Vostroya is classified as an industrial world rather than a hive world.

A census was once taken in the Hive Trazior of Necromunda, and the Upper Hive of that hive alone had a population of one billion, equivalent to the entire population of Vostronia.

The nests are all pyramid-shaped structures, and the populations in the middle nest, lower nest and bottom nest will only be larger.

There are many hives like Traziol in Necromunda.

Although the population of the hive cities in the Solar Sector is generally higher than that of other sectors, the one billion people in Vostronia are still too few to bear the responsibility of being the core world of Nimrod's future kingdom.

Nimrod intended to implement a series of reforms in Vostronia, establishing a capital world with enormous development potential for a future kingdom. Rosicky and Wojciech exchanged a glance, realizing that the title Nimrod had used during the signing of the agreement was a way of expressing his ambitions through these changes.

They looked at the sage at the same time. Would Kivio-2 accept it?

They think not.

The mechanical tentacle on the right side of Kivio-2's back was inserted into the interface of the meditation machine. Relying on the highest authority of the Om Messiah servant in Vostroya, it mobilized the four altars controlled by Nimrod, especially the information of Tezwok.

His logic engine module runs at high speed, performing calculations and deductions.

[Logic verification passed // He has the ability to significantly improve work efficiency.]

The Sage conducted game analysis in the logic engine, and after dozens of seconds, the synthesized sound of the sound array sounded again.

"Om Messiah has made an agreement with the kings, and your proposal is rejected."

Ning Lu's eyes turned cold. He tried to cooperate with the oil men in order to develop Vostronia as quickly as possible, but he didn't expect that these oil men cared so much about traditions and agreements.

[Since this is the case, we can only create a fait accompli and force them to accept it.

If they ultimately refuse to compromise, they can only slightly relax the selection criteria for "perfect candidates."]
While Nimrod was lost in thought, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded from the Nest Tower, and the altar lights lit up red.

Kivio-2 gave orders to the Tech-Priest standing before a massive screen composed of sixty-four split screens.

"Trace the source of the alarm signal."

After dozens of seconds, the technical priest operated the screen to display a series of images.

Nimrod glanced around and found that there were not only pictures of the Mikhailovsk Hive, but also pictures of the Songchisandchiga Hive where the No. 9 altar was located.

The Tech-Priest stared at the screen and reported to the Sage.

"Tech-Priest Zelinsky fell into heresy and killed Sage Kivio-25, who oversaw Altar Nine."

"Pyantek Shvedelski also fell into heresy, and they performed blasphemous rituals in the hive city of Sonchysandchiga."

Nimrod saw a picture in which tens of thousands of Nest People were driven towards a factory by mutants.

In another picture, countless beast-men with bird-like features walked out.

[Tzaanhorn!]
Nimrod knew that some people had been corrupted by Tzeentch for a long time and turned into Tzaanhorns, but most of them were captured as captives and then forcibly transformed in order to please the God of Change.

Kivio-2 looked at Piatek Shvydelski's beak and the sharp claws on his limbs with disgust and anger.

"Piyantek has renounced the faith of the Om Messiah; he is a blasphemous heretic!"

"Send the Skitarii and request King Kapustka to take action. This is what the God of All Things has asked of him. He must kill the heretics."

Ningluo hugged the heavy halberd with his arms and stared at the video screen.

King Kapustka quickly responded to the request of the Sage of Kivio-2 and led his men to eliminate the heretics who invaded his territory, the Mikhailovsk Hive.

Wearing fine power armor, he pointed his power sword at Piyantek.

"Death to heretics!"

"idiot!"

Piyantek raised his curved blue shield to block his power sword.

King Kapustka's gaze met the eye atop the shield, and he let out a scream.

Piyantek swung the curved blade and cut off King Kapustka's head.

"heresy!"

Seeing that the warlike King Kapustka was killed instantly by the heretic, Kivio-2 took the combat power of heretics such as Zelinsky and Piatek into consideration and searched the database at the same time, and then realized that there was only one choice.
