Terra's Primarch Celebration Preparations
The message relayed by the Astropath was the same as Nimrod had anticipated.
He was the first to rediscover the lost Knight World and bring it into the Imperium, much to the delight of the Old Man in Yellow, who immediately realized its potential for political propaganda.
His order to Nimrod was to return to Terra, where the Imperium Chancellor Malcador, had prepared a grand celebration for him.
Of course, the Old Man in Yellow also considered the Primarch gene's unique interests and promised Nimrod another chance to enter his private vault as a reward.
After reading the message relayed by the Astropath, Nimrod felt as if something within him had melted.
The digestion progress of the "Briber" potion has reached a new milestone.
Nimrod in satisfaction. His efforts in personally conquering the Daxos Binary System had not been in vain. Not only had the potion been significantly digested, but he had also been given another chance to choose treasures, as expected.
The Primarch immediately issued an order: the fleet would head towards the nearest Mandeville Point, with the Sol System as its target.
Chief Apothecary Mitchell and "Harvest Priest" Malena did not accompany them; instead, they traveled by ship to the Triken system.
Among the Legion Warrior who have not yet been sent to their respective Chapter, the Shadow of Order who were not selected to accompany the Legion to the Sol System also left the Void Hunter. They will join their respective Chapter and continue to expand the Legion's sphere of influence.
During the voyage, Nimrod, sitting on the command the Throne, asked Arsena Dunn about the progress of the mission assigned to him.
How is the research on occult languages progressing?
After a few seconds of silence, the Reader organizes their thoughts.
"Sir, Thomas and I have discussed this and made some discoveries."
"In the course of the development of civilization, all races will inevitably discover certain words that possess mysterious power, both by chance and by necessity."
"The element of chance lies in the process of discovery, while the element of inevitability stems from the fact that each race's understanding of the universe largely extends beyond the scientific realm; the unknown drives them to explore hidden Mystery from a supernatural perspective."
Nimrod his fingers lightly, listening to the Primarch's Attendants continue speaking.
"I made requests to the lords of each Chapter, and they all cooperated with my actions."
"He and I each collected, compiled, and analyzed information from numerous Xenos races and civilizations, searching for those unique words."
"There has been good progress so far. I have found 51,940 words from the languages of 29 different races, and the Analysis is now complete."
After reporting on the progress, the "Reader" outlined the next steps.
"I think this trip to Terra will be quite fruitful. As far as I know, besides High Gothic, there are many other languages from different civilizations, and I will learn something from them."
"I think by the time I return, I should be able to create some fragmented words, and then try to combine them into sentences."
"Well done, continue according to your plan."
Nimrod began to offer words of encouragement.
Meanwhile, under the orders of Imperium Chancellor Malcador, various departments of the Imperium began intensive preparations for the arrival of the Primarch.
The people who received the news that the Primarch was about to arrive in Terra were overjoyed.
The Emperor ended Terra's warlordism and launched the epic "Great Crusade."
One after another, human worlds lost for thousands of years are rediscovered, giving them a sense of humanity's resurgence and its becoming the dominant race in the Galaxy.
Many people in the Imperium still remember the grand ceremony Emperor's Children Horus Carl's return fifteen years ago, a celebration that lasted for a whole month.
Now, Imperium Chancellor Malcador has announced that Terra's celebrations welcoming the return of the second Primarch will also last for a month.
The people of Terra, who have been working tirelessly for the "Great Crusade," have also been given good news: they will be granted a three-day holiday from the day the Primarch arrives in Terra.
For four whole months, the biggest topic of conversation among the people of Terra was the impending arrival of the Eleventh Primarch.
As they inquired about every piece of information about the Primarch from those around them, the Imperium's propaganda machine began to spin rapidly, and Nimrod's achievements were widely publicized.
"Primarch Nimrod, before being retrieved by the Emperor, had already unified the entire Vostonia System. He defeated the Xenos pirates, built Exemplary Hive City, and led the people of the system to prosperity and development."
"..."
"In 813, Primarch Nimrod discovered the Triken system, drove out the evil Xenos that had taken over the area, and added five new habitable worlds with beautiful environments and abundant minerals to the Imperium."
"In 814, Primarch Nimrod discovered the lost human colony of the Daxos Binary System. He personally met with House Vicstrix, and the first Knight World pledged allegiance to the Imperium."
"..."
Terra's Sonic Array channels continuously play the achievements of the Primarch, with the number of achievements increasing over time.
In the parks and taverns of the Hive City, either affiliated with the government or by folk artists who had seized the opportunity, he vividly recounted his legendary deeds to the people.
Each storyteller's account differs to some extent.
According to incomplete statistics from the Imperium Propaganda Department, there are 33,911 different accounts of the Primarch's duel with the Knight King in the Daxos Binary System alone.
The public discussed with great interest which claim was true, and the debate raged on.
"Listen to me, the Primarch swung his sword and cleaved the ten-meter-tall Knight Mech in two."
"The truth is, the Primarch leaped into the air and kicked the Daxos Glory in the chest, sending the Knight Mech crashing heavily to the ground, reportedly collapsing a mountain."
"No, no, no, what everyone else said is false. The Primarch didn't even lift a finger. He just glanced at the Knight King, and he couldn't withstand the pressure, kneeling down to pledge allegiance to the Emperor's offspring."
"..."
At the Ministry of the Interior meeting, after listening to the report, a smile appeared on Malcador's aged face as he calmly issued orders.
"Starport must be prepared to provide a dedicated berth for the Primarch, and the music and etiquette of the honor guard must be flawless."
"The security forces must ensure that the crowds eager to catch a glimpse of the Primarch do not descend into chaos along the avenues leading to the Imperial Palace, and prevent any stampedes or overcrowding before they occur."
"The catering department must ensure that the food and beverages are primarily Vostonia in style, and also prepare other flavors from various ethnic groups."
"..."
As always, Malcador paid meticulous attention to every detail of the return of the Primarch, issuing orders to the relevant personnel one by one.
Time passed day by day, and in November of 816, Malcador received news that the Primarch's Void Hunter had jumped out from the Gate of Hades, a stargate established during the "Dark Age of Technology" near Pluto.
On the 11th day of November, the Void Hunter arrived at the Terra starport.
The celebration to welcome the Primarch's return has officially begun!
