Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 61 King Nimrod's First Order

At Altar No. 2, twenty-nine sages gathered around Kiviole-, and the language of technology surged through the room.

The mechanical language of 0s and 1s contained all the data about Nimrod in the Vostroyan system: the images from the cameras in each hive, the incomplete scanned data...

The amount of data contained in the Data Ocean is too much for even a fully mechanized Tech-Priest to process, let alone keep up with the further calculations and deductions of the Sages’ logical engines.

Eleven minutes later, the ocean of data receded and the sages reached a consensus.

[Continue to support Nimrod // Report to Mars.]

Kivio-2 sent a message to the Sage Kivio-15 in the language of technology.

[You will immediately board the spacecraft and return to Mars to report.]

On Yekaiban, when the banquet to celebrate Nimrod becoming the king of Vostronia began, Kivio-15 boarded the spacecraft and headed towards the Solar Segmentum.

At the end of the banquet at Rinneban, Nimrod issued his first order as king.

"Every noble must have eleven children. Those who fail to do so within thirty years will lose their title."

"From this work cycle on, the requirement to become a noble is to give birth to eleven children."

Vostronia's population of approximately one billion is too small and must be greatly increased.

The nobles were able to raise children, and Nimrod set higher standards for them.

Normal reproductive behavior does not increase the risk of Slaanesh's corruption. What attracts the "Dark Prince" is the extreme pleasure and perverted enjoyment.

All the nobles were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that the first order issued by the king would be to stimulate fertility.

No one raised any objections. Although having children increased their financial burden and inheritance risk, the trouble could be dealt with by adjusting family rules.

"The same standards apply to the Water Guild, the Promethium Guild, and other guild families. Those who fail to meet the requirements are not allowed to hold positions in the guild."

Guild families only have a lower social status than nobles, but there is not much difference in wealth, at least it does not affect raising children.

"Each Nester family has at least three children. The eldest son serves as a reserve and can be replaced by other children if both parties agree."

"Lawyers must have at least five children..."

Ningluo formulated standards according to the circumstances of each profession, which were detailed to most professions in Shangchao.

Nimrod added flexibility based on the system of the Vostroyan Firstborn in his memory.

Although forced "voluntary participation" within the family is still unavoidable, there will not be a situation like Staven he knows, who truly volunteers to replace his brother but has to forge his identity.

"For families with five or more children, the living expenses of the children until they reach adulthood will be borne by my personal finances; for families with eleven children, all except those who are serving in the military can work in my factory."

In order to encourage the people of the nest to have children, Nimrod naturally had to set up incentives. Fortunately, he controlled the Cradle of the Sea and was able to afford it.

"For residents of Xiachao who have three children, their parents can work in my factory, and I will support the children financially. For families with five or more children, except for those who serve in the reserve forces, all others can work in my factory."

The requirements he set for the nest were lower and more in line with the nesting situation.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. This king did not want to increase his own wealth, but actually paid for it out of his own pocket to subsidize childbirth. It was really puzzling.

Then, everyone returned to carry out Nimrod’s order to have children.

Nimrod had already made arrangements for his men, and Maria was left alone to receive orders.

"You will follow the Kournikova family's method and secretly train assassins loyal to me."

"As you wish."

Maria bowed in reply, then turned and left. Nimrod returned to the long table, picked up the datapad, and looked at the blueprints for the new hive city designed by the best architect Yelena had found in Vostronia. He wanted to personally oversee the construction of a "model."

Wojciech Bielik traveled to the Adeptus Mechanicus shipyard in Sopot to jointly research the Vlao battlecruisers as agreed.

Rosicky continued to build maglev trains in various hive cities and directed STC's promotion at Nimrod's factory.

Yelena Kournikova was in charge of administrative affairs, while her husband Buxar was responsible for establishing the hive security forces.

Jorginho's Sixth Regiment returned to the Cradle of the Sea and, together with the captain of the Fourth Regiment, Szczesny, expanded the organization. Nimrod set the upper limit at ten regiments.

Other regiment commanders also followed Ningluo's expansion order, with the recruitment limit set at thirty-four regiments.

Howard was given the added responsibility of "The Sheriff" to find the heretics hiding in the hive city of Songchi Sandchiga.

He had previously shown an open-minded attitude at the aristocratic banquet, saying frankly that he did not hate the existence of any belief. During this period, he did not use any means to search for heretics related to the riots.

Howard, who was used to catching up on sleep on the aircraft, opened his eyes, one of which was icy blue.

[My performance during this period should have paralyzed those heretics.

Moreover, I left the hive, and even the most cautious heretics would take advantage of this opportunity to act.

Act immediately, without giving them a chance to react.]
He changed out of his finely crafted power armor and donned black robes, a hood covering his blond hair, and a black mask branded with the Gray Scales.

Howard then took the secret escape elevator of the royal family of the Songchi Sandchiga hive alone.

After five standard minutes, the elevator landed at the base of the Nest Tower. He walked out of the elevator and got directly into the black car.

The drivers and co-pilot were both soldiers from his Fifth Regiment. Under the orders of the regimental commander, they drove to familiarize themselves with every street and corner of Songchisandchiga.

"Follow Route Three."

The "Sheriff" specified a route based on the detailed map driving plan of the nest city provided by the two people. This route comprehensively considered factors such as reducing repeated driving and concealment.

"Yes, my lord."

The soldiers immediately started the vehicle and drove through the streets of the hive city.

The "Sheriff" glanced across the streets outside. When he wasn't fighting, he would often inspect the factories in Songchisandchiga, further solidifying this hive city as his "jurisdiction."

The vehicle traveled thirty-six standard branches, and the spirit of the "Sheriff" was touched. In his sight, the warehouse of the I-3 factory, which was meters ahead, was filled with a gray aura, and he also inexplicably felt a sense of boredom.

The Sheriff knew that this was his extraordinary ability, "Detect Evil," which allowed him to detect and sense unshielded things related to evil, chaos, and madness when he was close enough.

Through using the various extraordinary abilities of the "Sheriff" during this period, he has concluded that the distance of each extraordinary ability will increase as his ability improves, and is positively correlated with his familiarity with the "jurisdiction".

The so-called shielding does not mean hiding in a building or in the open air, but refers to shielding methods such as witchcraft.

Howard tapped his fingers on the holographic map, circled the warehouse, and then turned on the communicator.

"Second Platoon, proceed to the marked point and wait for orders. Don't let anyone escape."

Howard had been preparing for a long time, and it was certainly not for one or two groups. He wanted to wipe out most of the heretics at once.

Four hours later, nineteen locations were marked on his data pad, including factories, noble mansions, and guild territories.

　Added an introduction to the 11th Legion's members and organizational structure. If you forget what you're reading, you can refer to it. Will be updated later.

　　In addition, the requirements for recruiting characters are also written at the end. Interested legion members can refer to the requirements for designing, and if suitable, they will appear in the book later.
