Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 83 Good Brother Horus
The Spirit of Vengeance is an astonishing vessel. Even the largest battleships pale in comparison to it. The giant acceleration cannons on the battleship alone are much longer than most other battleships.

After Nimrod's transport ship docked, he and First Captain Sesak walked towards the welcoming Luna Wolves.

He sensed his offspring behind him, and his body tensed instantly, as if a hunter had encountered another powerful hunter.

Nimrod looked ahead and saw the Moon Wolf with a helmet slung over his arm. The most striking thing about him was his black hair, which was tied in a silver sheath and braided into upright braids, like a towering palm tree growing on top of his head.

He also has wider pupils and a straight nose, similar to Horus, and wears gold and white power armor.

The Astartes with a soaring braid stepped forward and bowed slightly to show his respect to the Primarch.

"My lord, I am Ezekyle Abaddon, Captain of the Luna Wolves, and I have been ordered to greet you."

"Abaddon..." Nimrod thought, "You have achieved many victories."

Abaddon thought it was the Reapers reporting to Nimrod, and he smiled at being praised by a Primarch for his achievements.

"Thank you for your recognition, sir."

Abaddon then turned his gaze towards Astarte who was standing behind Nimrod on the right side, and he immediately noticed the change in Sesak.

His armor turned from bright red to pitch black, and only the bright red sickle on his right shoulder armor could still reveal his identity as a former reaper.

"Why, Lord of the Harvest, are you planning to collect the bodies behind us?"

Faced with Abaddon's ridicule, Sesak, who already felt constrained, had bloodshot eyes.

"Abaddon, do you want a fight?"

Upon hearing this, the girl with the pigtails curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile, her eyes flashed with a sharpness, and she bumped into Saesak.

"Okay, but I have to complete the task my father gave me first."

Nimrod frowned. As fighting machines, Astartes would always instinctively test each other when they met.

He interrupted the confrontation between the two, as he did not approve of this meaningless fight.

"If we want to compete, let's see who kills more enemies in the next battle."

After saying this, he looked at Abaddon.

"I suppose you don't want to keep Horus waiting too long."

Abaddon retracted his gaze, "Please follow me."

Saisak suppressed his fighting spirit and followed Ningluo forward.

Moments later, Nimrod met Horus on the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit.

"My brother," Horus immediately walked out from the strategic table with a smile on his face, "I hope you and your offspring get along well."

The Primarch was keenly aware that compared to the polite words last time, sincerity dominated his words this time, and Nimrod couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

[After being hammered and adjusted by Old Man Huang, Horus decided to play the role of big brother.]
"Horus, I certainly get along well with them."

As he spoke, he patted Sesak's left shoulder with his big hand.

"Look, Sesak looks pretty good now."

Sesak's instinctive resistance immediately dissipated when he felt the touch of the Father of Genes.

Horus glanced at Sesak, the unruly Captain of the Reaper Company, who was as obedient as a pet petted by the Terran nobles.

"You are ready, it's time to start our journey."

"Before that, I would like to introduce you to my team of consultants."

Three Luna Wolves walked out from behind Horus.

Horus smiled and said, "My Council of Four Kings is shaped like the moon. You have seen Ezekiel. He is the full moon."

Nimrod knew that the Council of Four Kings was composed of the four most outstanding Astartes from the Luna Wolves and the future Sons of Horus. In addition to their duties as company commanders, they spent their days aboard the Vengeful Spirit, serving as Horus' most trusted advisors.

Nimrod is also planning a unique organization called "Shadow of Order", but he will not start to set it up until Howard Finder and others have completed the transformation.

"Tarik Torgaddon, Gibbous Moon."

Nimrod's eyes swept over Keshen and Menos, and paused for a moment on Torgathon, the tallest member of the Council of Four Kings.

After meeting many Shadows of Order and Luna Wolves, he noticed that his own offspring were slightly taller, but not as much as the difference between him and Horus.

[In other words, my height of 411 is partly derived from "barbarian", and this sequence will increase my size.]
While Nimrod was thinking, he and Sesak walked to the strategy table.

Horus also turned his gaze towards the holographic star map and spoke.

"I think you would rather lead your descendants to conquer the worlds surrounding your home."

"So, I'll leave them to you."

Nimrod nodded slightly, he felt the kindness released by Horus.

He not only hopes to be a good big brother, but also uses his skills to influence himself.

"The target is here. We call it the Ape Galaxy."

"This ape galaxy is very special. The environments of the four planets are different, but they are all high-gravity worlds, and the Ogryns are everywhere."

"I had just begun conquering one of these worlds before my father summoned me, and now the Tenth Company is there."

Nimrod looked at the four worlds with bright green light on the star map.

As for Ogrin, he narrowed his eyes.

[Yes, their arms are the main ingredient of the "Barbarian" potion.]
The expeditionary fleet immediately set sail, and Nimrod stayed on the Spirit of Vengeance. After returning to the Empire, the addition of the Navigator freed him from having to worry about warp navigation like his predecessor.

The arrival of the Astropath also allowed him to maintain some contact with Vostronia.

Aboard the Vengeful Spirit, he learned from Horus all about the Imperium of Man.

Horus discovered that Nimrod learned, understood, and digested all kinds of knowledge at an astonishing speed.

After arriving at the Apes Galaxy, the expeditionary fleet calibrated the time with the Tenth Company and estimated that this warp voyage would only take 16 Terran days.

When Nimrod heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the benefit of returning to the empire.

Warp travel is safer and faster.

The Tenth Company has completed the mission left by Horus and conquered one of the planets, leaving three planets waiting to be conquered.

Horus tapped his fingers, zooming in on the largest of the four planets.

"This world is dominated by grasslands. The Ogryns herd mammoths and other creatures for their food."

He looked at Nimrod. Although this brother had learned all kinds of knowledge at an astonishing speed, how would he perform in actual combat? Could he lead the 11th Legion?
Horus still had doubts, and he decided to observe during the joint battle.

"How about we go to this world together and let those brave Ogryns know what strength is?"

"Okay," Nimrod nodded slightly. He decided to reorganize the army's style during this battle. "I will return to the army and give a pre-battle speech. We will meet on the ground."

The Void Hunter's Astartes transformation surgery is still in progress, and no one has yet completed the promotion.

Nimrod was on his way to the Sawtooth on a transport ship, thinking about which company he would personally lead in the subsequent conquest.

He glanced at Sesak across from him and shook his head slightly.

To set up models for reform, we must start with the easy ones.

When Nimrod thought of this, he had a candidate in mind.
