The Eleventh Legion, Whose Scale Rivals the Thousand Sons at Their Peak
Fenris, Asaheim, the Wolf King's Court.
Without any spoils, Jorin, riding Thunderwolf, returned before Sanchez.
By the warm fireplace, the Fenrisian listened in silence as Jorin recounted the events in the Hearth-speak — Juvik.
The Wolf King slammed his large hand on the table, splashing mead onto the table and dripping it onto the floor.
Freki and Geri, who were lying on the ground, straightened their bodies with their hair standing on end.
Leman Russ's azure eyes swept over the crowd, and the Fenrisian who were looked at by him felt as if they had fallen into an icy lake.
"You are the men of Fenris! The warriors of Fenris will never be defeated!"
The Wolf King rose, with Freki and Geri beside him. He walked up to Jorin and patted him on the shoulder.
"Old buddy, you've decided to undergo transformation. I believe that after your ascension, you'll definitely be able to defeat that brat Nimrod."
Jorin heard how much Leman Russ trusted him, the frost on his face melted a little.
After encouraging Jorin, the Wolf King looked around at everyone and continued.
"We won't wait; Fenris's hunters always have a way."
Leman Russ instilled faith into the Fenrisian through his words; his deep blue eyes gazed down as he gently patted his wolf brother.
"We are a pack of wolves. Fenrisian Wolf are not lone wolves, and we are not brutes."
"Whoever underestimates the wolf pack will become a withered skeleton in the snow."
The Fenrisian, with his tangled and bushy mane, rose to his feet with a howl.
"Knock knock knock!"
The knocking sounded at an inopportune moment. The Wolf King narrowed his eyes, already knowing that it was Nimrod's cub knocking.
"Let him in."
Leman Russ returned to the Throne and sat on the fur.
The Reaper Lord entered the council chamber, where hundreds of Fenrisian, clad in filthy fur, stared at him fiercely like a pack of wolves.
The hunter keenly sensed that even though they wore outdated leather armor and iron chainmail, and carried only steel swords and axes, their strong physiques and imposing aura proved that they were powerful Warrior.
They are dangerous enough on their own, but deadly in groups, even to creatures much larger than Astartes.
Sanchez showed no fear; he didn't even touch the weapon at his waist. He simply walked towards the Wolf King.
The "Provoker's " proud head and defiant aura made the "Wolves" breathe heavily, and they struggled to restrain themselves from charging towards the Reaper Lord.
With each step the "Provoker" took, he could feel a slight melting sensation within his body.
As Leman Russ watched the approaching Reaper Lord, unlike Fenris's "Pack of Wolves," whose anger grew increasingly intense, his fury gradually subsided.
Before the "Provoker" could speak, the Wolf King spoke first.
"Sanchez, you've won the second hunt."
"The third hunt is a wolf hunt, limited to thirteen people, with the target being the Ice Troll King."
Sensing the Wolf King's dismissive attitude, the Shadow of Order did not ask any questions, but simply replied.
As you wish.
The Reaper Lord will open a communication channel to send messages to his minions operating in Asaheim.
"I need information on the Ice Troll King."
Sanchez then called the Shadow of the Throne to dispatch Transport Ship to deliver the Witherwing to the Primarch.
Nimrod, after a time in Fenris, saw the corpse of the Witherwing on a deck specially designated to satisfy the Primarch's desires.
He activated his Spirit Sight and looked at the enormous creature, discovering that only its pituitary gland and eyes were the main ingredients for the potion "Telepathist," the Sequence 8 successor to "The Spectator."
Nimrod then cut off the Ice Dragon's head, sent it back to the "Nation of Disorder," and then used his Communicator to contact Sanchez.
It's time to check on the progress of the hunting competition.
Upon hearing the briefing from the "Provoker," Nimrod immediately recalled the scene of his conflict with the Fenrisian.
"Provoker" can negatively impact interpersonal relationships, whether through passive ability or active role-playing.
Considering that Sanchez provoked the Wolf King and many other Fenrisian, his digestion speed will definitely increase, but without seeing him, it's impossible to determine when digestion will occur.
After a moment's thought, the Primarch said approvingly.
"Sanchez, you did well, you upheld the honor of the Legion."
"No need to worry, although Leman Russ may look like a Barbarian, it's just a disguise. He won't lay a hand on you."
"Based on what you've said, I think he'll use you as a whetstone, so it doesn't matter if you act even more provocatively."
Receiving the praise of the Primarch, the Reaper Lord felt as if he were being bathed in warm sunshine, and the wind and snow that were pattering against his body turned into a warm current.
At the same time, it felt as if a star within his body had shattered, the Reaper Lord exclaimed excitedly.
I will definitely win and I won't let you down.
"I know something about your third hunting target."
"Ice Troll, also known as ice ogres by the Fenrisian, are giant creatures that inhabit the continent of Asaheim. They are close relatives of the Ice Demon, but even larger, taller than the Dreadnought."
Nimrod recalled what he knew about the Ice Troll, who posed a constant threat to anyone in Asaheim, including the future Space Wolves.
"Ice Troll often use entire trees as clubs; their jaws have a very strong bite force, capable of crushing Power Armor."
Unlike other creatures, Ice Troll possess a degree of intelligence.
"..."
After hanging up the communication, Nimrod recalled that in the future 892. M41, the Wolf Lord Harald Dead Wolf heard that his Tide Hound tribe had been invaded by a group of Ice Troll.
He returned to his people and led them to defeat the Ice Troll.
During the battle, Harald himself beheaded the Ice Troll leader and then made his hide into a cloak.
[Although Sanchez is not wearing Power Armor, which greatly reduces his combat effectiveness, he is the "Provoker" and has twelve "Hunters" assisting him, capable of crushing the Ice Troll Horde.]
After making his judgment, Nimrod issued the order.
"Deliver the corpse of the Witherwing to the Void Hunter; it is Sanchez's spoils."
Afterward, the Primarch returned to his desk and considered how to allocate the five Relic-class warships that had just arrived in the Fenris System.
Lion El'Jonson's approach was to use these warships as secret weapons. All the Relic-class warships were not used in normal times. The Battle of Saramas severely damaged the "Night Lords's " fleet.
But I know the future, and I have the Dice of Prophecy, which gives me the chance to acquire Blackstone Fortress, the Gloriana-class Battleship, and even to seize the Abyss-class battleship from the "Word Bearers".
There's no need to treat the Relic-class as secret weapons; distributing them across different Chapter to create complementary fleet compositions is a better approach.
Having considered this, Nimrod made a decision and issued the order.
"The five Relic-class warships gifted by the Emperor were sent to the First, Third, Fourth, Eighth, and Ninth Chapter respectively."
These five Chapter and the 7th Legion achieved better results than the other Chapter.
The abilities of the six lords have also been recognized by the Primarch, and the core Pathway and future development direction of their Chapter have been determined.
Nimrod then looked at the Primarch's Attendants Squire's highest level of attention reports, three reports from the Triken system.
The first report came from the Chief Apothecary, Mikel reported that all 33,511 candidates from the fifteen regiments that returned from the Crystal Illusion Realm had undergone the modification surgery.
Because their average age was 4.2 years older than the 29 candidates who had previously undergone modification surgery, the failure rate of modification increased from 43.36% to 45.18%.
The Primarch casts its gaze upon the newly born Shadow of Order: 18,371.
He nodded in satisfaction; the number was slightly higher than he had expected.
As a "Apothecary," Mikel played a certain role.
The medicine he concocted reduced the rejection reaction in ordinary people undergoing modification surgery.
The Primarch then looked at another part of the report.
Of the 11,400 people who failed to be reformed, only 104 died.
All survivors have joined the Auxilia.
The Genetic Primarch wrote the following comment on the document, "[The Chief Apothecary has lived up to expectations and his work has been highly effective.]"
He was ordered to return to the legion's flagship to receive his reward.
The Primarch placed the Data Slate down, and his Superhuman Brain instantly updated the number of Legion Warrior he had mastered.
With the addition of the new Shadow of Order to the various Chapter, their total strength is approximately 85,000.
There are two reasons why the exact number cannot be determined.
On one hand, although the first batch of recruits from the star systems controlled by the Legion have not yet joined the various Chapter, the Terran-born were terraformed on the Luna have been continuously joining the Legion.
On the other hand, each Chapter is fighting on various fronts, and every day the Shadow of Order them.
With one increase and one decrease, and the reports received by the Primarch not being real-time reports, only estimates of the approximate number of Legions could be made.
[I have been back in the Legion for less than ten years, Eleventh Legion has developed rapidly, with its size approaching that of the "Thousand Sons" at its peak.]
Of course, without considering the Second and Eleventh Legion, the "Thousand Sons" were the fewest in number among the eighteen legions at their peak.
Even so, this is a commendable pace of development; there are still 185 years until Horus's fall in 004. M31.
The Primarch leaned back comfortably on the Throne, thinking with delight.
All the veterans who followed me in the Vostonia System have undergone modification surgery; the period of explosive growth in their numbers is over.
If no major battles occur, the number of legions will steadily increase.
Even if the Emperor sends the Eleventh Legion as the main force to fight Rangdan, the legion's strength should still be close to 300,000 by the end of the "Great Crusade."
Nimrod sat up straight, picked up the Data Slate, and looked at the second report, which came from Malena Scarla.
The first phase of construction on Triken Prime Planet has been completed, and the world has reached the standards of Garden of Nurgle world.
Agricultural output can meet the food needs of 13.5 billion people and satisfy the needs of the next stage of development.
Construction of the Triken II has officially begun.
The final report came from Wojciech Belik.
[The main planet Triken has completed its industrialization, building industrial bases and shipyards without damaging the ecological environment.]
After a moment's thought, Nimrod gave Wojciech the following order: [Proceed to Cepra Mandy and expedite the construction of the shipyard and industrial base.]
Three days later, the five warships, laden with Kraken and Sea Dragon prey, set sail for their respective Chapter.
Meanwhile, in Asaheim, the hunt for the Ice Troll King begins.
