Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 307 Seizing the opportunity, the idea of ​​controlling the world of creation takes root.
When the Shadow of Reigns arrived in the solar system, before Nimrod had even gone to Mars, he received a request for a meeting from Macardo.

After landing at the Eternal Gate starport, he headed to Terra Palace.

Ninglu entered the administration hall and noticed that, in addition to Macardo, who was wearing a gray robe and holding a staff decorated with an eagle at the top, there was also an oil enthusiast wearing a red robe.

“Ninlu, welcome. You astutely discovered the crisis of Osiris’s rebellion and provided assistance before the Thirteenth Legion’s suppression fleet was completely annihilated.”

"I'd like to know, what's the current situation in Osiris?"

"Signature, my legion has ended the atrocities committed by the aliens in Osiris," Nimrod replied.
"Eleven star systems have returned to the Empire's embrace, and I accept the request of the newly formed human government, freed from Xenomorph enslavement, to provide them with refuge."

“I have faith in your legion; it can restore order to the region,” Macado said confidently.

"Let me introduce you to Reuben, the sage envoy from Mars, who brings the request of the Director of Foundry."

Ninglu looked at Ruben.

What would Mars' demands be?

"Reuben greets you," according to the sage's standards, Reuben has undergone minimal mechanical modifications, and to facilitate diplomatic activities with various forces, he still uses his fragile flesh and blood vocal cords.

"Chosen one of the gods of all machines, you have brought back the divine template." Ruben placed what he considered the most important title above all others.

"The Primarch of 'Shadow of Order,' the King of Vostonia, the Purifier of the Orcs..." Ruben recited Nimrod's title in standard High Gothic with intonation.

"Lord Nimrod."

“Wise envoy, it is a pleasure to meet you.” Nimrod looked at Reuben inquiringly, waiting for him to make a request.

"The world of Incaladion, ravaged by civil war, desperately needs your salvation."

Ninglu seemed to be deep in thought, because of Carradine.

I remember the Fourth Army nearly exhausted its front-line troops at Incaladion.

Later, Peturabo, who had returned to the team, felt that his performance was not good enough and therefore decided to eliminate him with an eleven-draw.
He thought of Lucius, whom he had visited before. [Every forge world is a steel fortress; has Old Man Huang chosen his Pegasus again—am I here to tackle this tough nut?]
Seeing that Ninglu did not speak, Ruben immediately said, "The Mech God Guard will follow you to Incarardion."

“No need,” Ninglu refused, recalling that the Fourth Legion, the Martian Mech Guard, and the “Dead Skull Titan” Legion had participated in the battle to recapture Incaladion.

However, Incaradeon overlooked the Fourth Legion, which suffered the greatest losses, and regarded Mars as their liberator.

After Horus launched his rebellion, the Tiger Eye Titan Legion and the Mordred Knights immediately followed the Mars Forging Director and the Dead Skull Titan Legion, firmly standing with the rebels.

The Fourth Army fought a bitter two-year war in 842 and 843, making great sacrifices, but was ultimately completely forgotten, just as their father, Peturab, was always overlooked.

I cannot refuse Huang Laohan and Macado's demands to attack Incaradeon, but I will seek a proper return for the price I have paid.

I rescued Incaladion alone, so the xenophobic Incaladion, "Tiger Eye," and Mordred will only have one object of gratitude and loyalty: me.
With this in mind, Ninglu decided to turn the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by Old Man Huang and the inevitable loss into an opportunity; he wanted to take control of Incaradian.

[Yes, I own several star systems centered on Katachon in the Extreme Starfield, and I also effectively control eleven star systems in Osiris. In the future, I will have territories such as Posur, which require a forging world to provide supplies.]

With the director of casting in Carradine long dead and the civil war having lasted for nearly fifty years, it was at its weakest point.

This is an opportunity for me to completely control this forging world.
Ning Lu's eyes gleamed. Controlling a world of forging was no easy task, and besides its own military strength, Mars would not stand idly by.

In the past, even if Ninglu had this idea, it would have been difficult for it to come to fruition.

Because Carradion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it is weak and powerless, and he is in charge of suppressing the rebellion, which allows him to legitimately take control of the entire Foundry World before any intervention.

Because Carradion was xenophobic, even after the reconquest, he resisted other forces and remained loyal only to the one who had saved it.

Thinking of this, Ninglu spoke up amidst the astonished gazes of the seal-holder and the sage envoy.

"My legion can quell the civil unrest in Incaladion." Ruben's face lit up with joy; there was no need for the Martian Imperial Guard to be deployed.

"Lord Ninglu, I have long admired your reputation, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved."

The person holding the seal also smiled, "Ninglu, your father will be happy to hear this news."

"Lord Ninglu, please allow me to remind you that the new Glory Queen-class battleship built for you has been completed and is awaiting your delivery," Ruben said kindly.

"Thank you for reminding me. I came to the solar system precisely to receive it."

Nimrod then returned to the Shadow of the Throne.

On the way to Mars, he gave instructions to Arcena Dunn.

"The Emperor has entrusted me with the task of quelling the war in Incaladion."

"In addition to the First and Seventh Battle Chapters of the Extreme Starfield, as well as the Eleventh Battle Chapter that follows me and the Fourth Battle Chapter that came to take over the Glory Queen-class battleships, the Fifth Battle Chapter is being dispatched to Incaladion to participate in the battle."

"Summon the 'War Griffin'." To ensure that Incaladion's gratitude and loyalty are directed towards himself, he can only summon loyal allies.

The "Dark Flame" is closely related to the "Lord of Destruction" who follows Horus, and since it will take time to fully subdue it, it is excluded first.

He chose the "Voidwalker" to fight alongside the Legion in the "First War of Randan".

Nimrod hoped that the Miracle Crown of Glea and the Titan Legion of Dawn would play a role in the Second Randan War.

Based on the upcoming Legion wars, he decided to recruit the "War Griffin" to participate in the war.

“Yes, my lord.” The Primarch’s servant immediately relayed the Primarch’s command after leaving the palace.

After the Shadow of Reigns docked at the Mars starport, Nimrod stepped off the deck and met Adams, who was waiting for him.

“My Lord.” Adams’s voice was unusually tinged with excitement. He was the second chapter commander in the legion to acquire the Glory Queen-class battleship.

"Adams, this is the honor you deserve."

“Lord Ninglu,” a sage from the Cult of Mechanism approached, a synthesized voice emanating from his mask.

"Assets // Queen Glory-class battleship / Length 24.17 km / Mass 134.52 megatons"

"According to contractual obligations / at the present time, Mars may provide the Primarch with the means to fulfill the treaty // Lord Nimrod / please confirm whether you accept the transfer."

“Accept the handover,” Nimrod said to Adams. “Go and receive your warship, my Death Lord.”

“Yes, my lord.” Adams led his battle group to begin receiving the Glory Queen-class battleships.

Fourteen days later, HMS Shadow of the Throne and the Queen Glory-class battleship, which Adams named HMS Death and Wither, set sail for Incaladion.

Limitless Starfield, Incaladion.

The grid of stars burst into light, and a gap was torn in the vacuum.

A dazzling mist and magnificent lights burst forth as ships surged from nothingness into reality.

First came dozens of ships, then hundreds.
