Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 728 Fernus, I suggest you challenge Angron.
At the summit of the black basalt mountain, Ninglu reached an agreement after three hours of discussion with fourteen tribal chiefs who wielded falcon short swords.

He used a quill pen to write lines of clauses on both sides of the parchment in both Dunn and Futu languages.

The employee, during the period of employment, will obey the orders of the employer, Nimrod, and his offspring.

The employee must keep all secrets from the employer and must not disclose to anyone everything they see or hear, including but not limited to the following: ...

The employer pays the Vostonia laser gun in advance as the first year's payment.

...]

Nimrod decided to assign the Vessaians to various units of the legion to serve as untouchables.

Atsack's Sobo tribe will remain on the Shadow of the Throne, while the other thirteen negative Omega-class members will lead the largest tribes and be assigned to twelve chapters and the Think Tank.

Besides suppressing psychic energy, another major function of the Untouchables is to prevent spying.

The fact that the host of the Star Language Court always carries two untouchable persons reflects this consideration.

The Star Speaker controls the Empire's remote communications. Positioned at the core, he is like a spider at the center of a web, a hub for vital information.

Important information from each galaxy will be analyzed and presented to him.

Although the lords and high-ranking officers of each chapter, such as the chief priests, possess the "Euclid's Mark," they can only activate it in time within their flagships; in other locations, preparations must be made in advance.

Untouchables can shield a certain area simply by standing in locations such as meeting venues, which is crucial before the rise of Chaos and allows them to conceal the Legion's intelligence.

The Untouchables' Advisory Library is also valuable; in addition to collecting information such as data crystals and Legion Operations Archives, it can also suppress out-of-control psionicists.

Despite the fact that all think tanks have mastered the third level of Thelma's mind and that all think tanks above the Star Language Officer level are equipped with mind servants, there is still a possibility of them going out of control in large-scale wars.

Mind Machines may be destroyed by the enemy, and the line of will may weaken due to the death of combat brothers and the fatigue of continuous fighting.

Other tribes will be assigned to officer positions such as technical sergeant and priest, and will be transferred as needed.

Etsack was the first to write his name in stupa script on the bottom right side of the parchment, in the section for the employee.

Ninglu then took the parchment. With a thought, his spiritual energy burst forth and flowed into the greatsword he carried, which shone with a dazzling orange-red light.

A shadow fell silently onto the parchment.

A barely perceptible line of text appeared out of thin air between two lines of text on the paper:

If the employee is traveling to a place where there is no concept of time, the timer will stop until the service provider leaves, at which point the timer will resume normal operation and start counting again.

This clause is similar to the one that Nimrod previously signed with Damian the Hrud in the second space on the shadow side.

Although he has not yet mastered extraordinary abilities related to shadows, Ninglu can act on behalf of the "Shadow Contract" after possessing the uniqueness of the "Twilight Giant" pathway.

Ning Lu raised his hand and signed his name at the very bottom, on the left side: Ning Lu.

The moment he put pen to paper, his body trembled slightly, just like Eitsack's.

The "Chaos Mentor" saw the shadows behind them suddenly leap up, as if looking down from above.

In an indescribable feeling, the two established a subtle connection.

Etsack trembled, sensing that if he broke the agreement, he would suffer a severe punishment, even death.

He looked around but didn't see anything.

Etzack stroked the falcon dagger sheathed back at his waist, suppressing the unease in his heart.

He will abide by the mercenary contract, and regardless of whether his feelings just now were real, he will not break the agreement.

After signing contracts with the fourteen tribal chiefs, Ninglu returned to the Shadow of Royal Power.

The following day, his psionic projection traversed countless light-years and descended upon Terra's golden palace.

Makado was absent, Angron did not attend, and Nimrod, clad in a black robe, stood out conspicuously among the eighteen Primarchs in armor.

Peturabo's rock-like words were tinged with concern: "Ninru, your armor?"

"When I submitted to the barbaric world, a disaster struck during the battle, and my armor shattered," Ninglu said calmly, attributing the armor's breakage to the environment caused by the Twilight Authority of the "Sword of Twilight."

Considering the Vessars would be fighting alongside the various chapters and could not be hidden, he would report the surrender operation to the War Council and take the opportunity to report "2,584 Shadow Order casualties." Peturabo nodded, recalling the magnetic field anomaly reversal he experienced with Magnus during the rescue of Dawn Star.

It was eventually discovered that the decay of the Earth's core was caused by the subspace entity Sita, who manipulated the Red Dragon organization.

His icy blue eyes rippled like lake water as he recalled how Ninglu and Magnus had submitted to the Skotians in the treacherous center of the galaxy.

A glint appeared in Ruth's eyes; Nimrod's armor shattered, proving that he was not invincible.

He became increasingly certain that he could find a way to defeat Nimrod in Fenris's Nether, but the cost to many rune priests was too high.

Unless Nimrod rebels, but that won't happen.

He was loyal to his father.

A blush crept onto Wokan's face. The Shadow of Order had built fortress-level energy shields for many treacherous worlds, but the armor he had forged for Ninglu was damaged.

He clenched his fists, ["I will forge even stronger armor for Ninglu."]
Fernus Manus's silvery eyes stared at Nimrod's flowing robes.

"Ninglu, the armor I forged for you is now complete."

“I suffered my first defeat in my life, but I learned a lot from the duel, which made me a better person.”

Horus Lupecal and Sanguielles exchanged glances, reading the same thought in their friend's eyes: only they could defeat Nimrod.

Ryan El-Jonson and Chagatai Khan gaze at Nimrod from the perspective of transcendent swordsmen.

Phenusbirus was even more powerful, yet Nimrod was able to defeat him, once again demonstrating his extraordinary combat prowess.

Robert Guilliman recalled the statue he erected in Macurag for the five fearless brothers.

Nimrod defeated two of his four brothers, the hot-tempered and belligerent Rus and the unwavering Manus.

Ninglu was indeed the key figure in the fearless crowd.

Conrad Coates' bat-like wings folded around his arms, his black fingernails tapping rapidly and restlessly against his armor, casting a shadow over the dark river.

“This is evident in the process of forging the armor.” Fernus raised his silver arm, liquefied metal flowing around him.

After being defeated by Nimrod, Phenus buried himself in the forge, digging into the power of the silver hands.

He forged an even more perfect suit of armor.

With his snow-white hair, Fugrim gazed at Manus, his leaden words carrying the intense heat of a furnace.

Manus enjoys defeat; he enjoys losing in competition.

He found a way to make himself more perfect from it.

[Perhaps I should accept Manus's challenge.]
Fugrim hesitated, thinking, "[But if I fail, my perfection will be incomplete.]"
“Fenus, I suggest you challenge Angron,” Ninglu advised with a smile.

He was promoted to "Fallen Earl," and the ritual required him to kill two major targets: Angron and Forgrim.

Forgrim fears defeat and the destruction of his perfection, so he refuses to accept any challenge.

Angron will not refuse to fight.

Regardless of who wins or loses, Fernus will forge a weapon for Angron.

If he chooses to kill Angron, he will gain an extra piece of loot.

It's okay if you choose Fugrim. You'll inevitably encounter Angron who has ascended to magic power in the future. Just defeat him and get the loot.

Siren's Bite, Winter's Axe, and Vaal's Sword.

Among my offspring, quite a few have the potential to advance to Sequence 4, but there's still a long way to go...
Ninglu's gaze was deep, while Fernus's silver coin eyes darted around.

“Good suggestion!”

Boom!

The golden palace gates opened.
