The Primarch's Superhuman Speed

"Good."

Nimrod immediately accepted Campbell's challenge, knowing that demonstrating personal strength was essential to completely conquer this Knight World.

"Shall we begin now?"

The Knight King spoke urgently, wanting to overcome the Nightmare left in his mind by winning a victory.

On the training ground, the Knight Mech and Nimrod stood one kilometer apart. On one side stood the knights, their servants, and the Sacred Maintainer, while on the other side stood Bukayo, Gabriel, and other legionary Warrior, as well as Arsena.

Campbell, aboard the Daxos Glory, asked somewhat uncertainly.

"I crave a fight where I give it my all, but I'm not sure if I can do it."

As he spoke, he raised his right arm, and the multi-barreled machine gun roared and spun.

The Knight King did not want to bring about the destruction of Daxos for a moment's pleasure.

If he were to accidentally kill Nimrod, he had no doubt that the Black Armor Legion Warrior who regarded him as a father would turn the world into ruins.

It's alright.

"Give it your all."

[That's more interesting.]

Campbell heard a clamor in his ears; the Ancestral Spirits were equally frustrated and bewildered by their earlier defeat.

"Campbell, since he said that, don't hold back, beat him to a pulp!"

"Yes, a knight of Vixatrix may die in battle, but will not lose his honor because of cowardice."

The Knight King cast aside his worries and shouted with high spirits.

"Then our duel shall begin."

The knights watched the training ground with bated breath, each silently praying to the God of All Machines for their Knight King.

[Great God of All Machines, I beseech you to turn your gaze upon Daxos, I beseech you to grant the Knight King victory.]

Seeing Nimrod nod, Campbell immediately activated the multi-barreled machine gun that had already locked onto the target, and the four barrels began to spin rapidly.

The multi-barreled machine guns emitted a piercing, deafening roar, as shells burst forth like a torrent, a dense rain of bullets hurtling towards the spot where the Primarch stood.

Nimrod moved.

The Primarch charged into the hail of bullets. Giants as tall as him would usually be slow and clumsy, but his genes had no such flaws. He was perfectly designed to run like a hurricane.

He moved like a black lightning bolt, weaving through the hail of bullets, even faster than the furious roar of machine gun fire.

Campbell discovered that the Daxos Glory's auto-targeting system was completely unable to lock onto Nimrod.

Beep beep beep...

A piercing screech echoed through the cockpit.

The Knight King did not give up. He activated the manual aiming system, his right arm moving rapidly at a high frequency, aiming at the place where the Black Lightning was expected to appear.

Ta-da-ta-da...

The shell struck the Black Lightning and then passed right through it.

What was hit was merely a remnant of the Primarch gene.

Boom boom boom...

Shells crashed to the ground, filling the air with smoke.

Campbell knew he had missed his opponent; that superhuman speed and agility were incomprehensible.

Is this the Primogen Primarch?

The Knight King thought in horror as he realized he could no longer track Nimrod's movements.

He nervously scanned the panel and found that even with the Auspex and other automatic scanning systems running at maximum power, they couldn't detect a single trace.

[Cheer up, he's coming! Get your gloves on!]

[You must rely on your fighting instincts to defeat him, to beat him, with your fists.]

Campbell accepted the advice of Ancestral Spirits predecessors: since the machine guns couldn't strike the enemy, he could only rely on his Iron Fist and his honed combat instincts.

The power system activated the Thunder Gauntlet on his left arm, its blue energy field flashing with dazzling light.

The Knight King calmed his mind, sensing the changes around him and searching for a powerful aura.

Suddenly, he felt Great Beast -like aura rushing towards his chest.

Campbell will let his fighting instincts drive his body, guide his power system, and propel his gauntlets.

A blue energy field ripped through the sky and crashed down in front of him.

Nimrod, who was soaring into the air, was surprised to sense the gauntlets coming towards him.

This Knight King is indeed quite skilled; he was able to catch a glimpse of him even when he was running at full speed.

But that's all.

The Primarch defied the laws of physics, twisting its body in mid-air and leaping toward the cockpit of the Knight Mech.

In the next instant, he was already in front of the Knight Mech.

A golden light flashed, and a punch slammed into the cockpit.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the cockpit wall was torn apart.

With its momentum still intact, the Daxos Glory swayed, lost its balance, and crashed heavily to the ground.

The deafening roar also struck the hearts of all the knights; their Knight King, the most powerful knight, Campbell Vixatrix, had been struck down.

The Sacred Maintainer was the first to recover from the Shock and ran to the Daxos Glory to rescue Campbell from the Mechanical Throne.

The Knight King's green knight's uniform was tattered and charred, and his face was ashen.

Campbell stubbornly broke free from Saul's support, straightened his clothes, and stepped towards the Primarch.

The Knight King knelt on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head as he spoke.

"Lord Nimrod, I, Campbell Vixatrix, swear allegiance to you."

His chivalrous code and noble honor prevented him from breaking his promise, while Campbell was also awestruck by Nimrod's terrifying fighting prowess.

His speed was so great that the Knight King could barely react, and he knocked down the Daxos Glory with a single blow.

Perhaps only the God-Machine can contend with the Primarch.

The other knights also recovered from their Shock. They opened the cockpits, descended to the ground, and knelt behind the Knight King.

"We swear allegiance to Lord Nimrod, and will carry out any orders he commands."

The official record of this event by the Imperium scribes accompanying the army is as follows:

"9334814. M30, Nimrod, the Primarch of the Eleventh Legion, discovered the first Knight World in the Daxos system, located in the Daxos Binary System."

"The Warrior of the Eleventh Legion defeated the horde of beasts plaguing the area and rescued the people from their suffering."

"The Primarch and his offspring emerged victorious in three duels of honor presented by the ruler of the world, Knight King Campbell Vitt, earning the Imperium its first allegiance to Knight World."

After Nimrod conquered the Daxos Binary System, he ordered Gabriel to assist the Sacred Maintainer in repairing the Knight Mech.

He then ordered the Astropathic Message Master to send this good news to the Old Man in Yellow's flagship Bucephalus.

On the other hand, he ordered his men to record the subsequent series of events for propaganda purposes, including the formal swearing-in ceremony at Daxos and the Primarch's conversations with the patriarchs of various families.

Of course, this includes both scenes of knights standing in neat formation and the wheat fields and natural scenery of Daxos.

These are all promotional materials showcasing the achievements of the "Great Crusade." When the people of Terra see them, they will feel genuinely proud and support the continuation of the "Great Crusade."

This is also what the Emperor and Malcador need; they will use similar political propaganda tactics in every Primarch's return to Terra celebration.

Nimrod received no reply from the Old Man in Yellow, but instead received a report from Howard Fender.

He sat on the command the Throne, listening to briefings from the Primarch's Attendants.

"The lord of the First Chapter reports that he has successfully conquered the Terrano System and Brener System, which you ordered him to conquer."

"He also reported the discovery of Aeldari activity in both star systems."

"The lord has also successfully captured a group of Aeldari and is currently interrogating them, but so far, there has been no result."

After a moment's thought, Nimrod decided to go and find out what was going on.

At the same time, replenish the First Chapter and appoint Howard as the "Interrogator" of Sequence 7.

Nimrod then issued the order, "Depart for the Brener System."
