Governor Hemar Followed by Caryatids

During the voyage of the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod summoned the Primarch's Attendants to the Primarch's office in the palace.

"What did you find at the Tomb of the Ancient Kings in Fenris?"

"My lord, Fenris's runes employ Aether energy in a primitive way, but they do have their merits."

"In addition, I also found a prayer inscription on the stone mound. I know you've been very interested in this lately, so I made a rubbing of it."

The Dunnish dictionary, researched and compiled by Arsena, contains 33,411 words, which can meet most needs.

Nimrod could not reveal the existence of the "Nation of Disorder" to them; he could only pray alone, ensuring that the ritual was directed at himself.

In order to make ritual language conform to the requirements of this world's rules, he referenced a great deal of prayers from various races.

Nimrod picked up the Data Slate and looked at the prayer sent by the Primarch's Attendants.

"The great Allfather,

The ruler of Fenris

Asaheim and the Creator of the Sea of Storms

..."

[Similar to what I've seen before, it uses a three-part directional description to ensure it refers to itself.]

The Primarch instantly memorized the prayer and then spoke.

"I brought back some sacrificial items from the temple of Morkai; you are to study them."

"Yes, sir."

After the "Deduction Cadets" responded to the order, the Primarch began issuing Legion deployment orders.

"Assemble the Second, Fifth, and Eleventh Chapter and head to Terra, after which they will join me on the expedition to the Fire Wheel System."

Nimrod decided to use the Battle of the Fire Wheel to hone the skills of the six Chapter that had not yet determined their development direction, and to discover talent.

Considering the current situation of the six Chapter, he decided to first summon three of Chapter to the Fire Wheel.

"The other Chapter, working closely with Lewis von Valentius and others conscripted to explore the route, should quickly connect the Legion's territories, centered on Vostonia."

"Send a message to Mikel, ordering the Chief Apothecary to go to Terra."

Arsena noted down the Primarch's commands, then manipulated the Data Slate to display several holographic images.

"Sir, the Tech Sergeant has made initial progress in the technical research on the captured Aeldari Ranger rifles."

"Although we cannot yet crack the Aeldari's Psionic Energy crystal cultivation technology, after modification, it can be used by the Astartes and Auxilia."

"Compared to the Lasgun manufactured by the Imperium, the improved Aeldari longswords have a longer range and greater accuracy."

Nimrod's dark eyes gazed at the holographic image.

The modified Lasgun is no longer as streamlined and elegant as before, and it has lost some of the characteristics of Aeldari weapons.

The gun's length has also been shortened by one-fifth, making it more suitable for ordinary people to use.

"The modified Lasgun is named the Ranger-pattern."

How many Ranger-pattern weapons are currently available?

Sixty-five.

Nimrod his fingers lightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Fifty units were allocated to the elite snipers of the Auxilia, and fifteen were sent to me."

He intends to distribute fifteen units among the Treasure Hunting Squad to bolster their strength.

"Order the Tech Sergeant to continue their research on the Aeldari spoils."

As the Primarch issued the command, Adams Necromunda looked at Leandro Hemar before him.

Leandro was physically robust, with a sharply defined facial structure, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes.

A winged humanoid creature flew over his shoulder, its blue skin covered with various intricate patterns.

Adams knew they were Caryatid, which the Necromunda considered symbols of good fortune.

They live in the ventilation shafts and pipes throughout the Necromunda Hive City, possess a relatively mild Psionic Energy talent, can passively foresee their fate, and are attracted to powerful individuals.

They will follow those who are about to rise to power. The Seventh Iron Lord of the Orb Weaver League, who had the Caryatid a commoner, was followed by her.

Subsequently, he began to rise to power, excavating several ruins in succession and quickly becoming the most powerful person in Necromunda.

Once the Caryatid leaves its owner, that person is essentially sentenced to death, and misfortune is about to befall them.

Before the Eleventh Legion arrived, the Caryatid of the Seventh Iron Lord left him, and he died shortly afterward.

Leandro's original surname Hemari, but after encountering the Caryatid, he claimed to have received a divine Revelation and changed his family name to Hemar.

He was then chosen by Adams to help him build his power.

Adams followed the Primarch the Primarch, supporting the Hemar Family, establishing order, and ruling over the populous Necromunda.

"My lord, with your support, I have established Hive Primus, which will become the future administrative center of Necromunda."

Leandro Hemar respectfully reported to the Death Lord before him in the High Gothic he had just mastered.

He knew that Lord Adams had chosen him, but could also abandon him at any time, just as the Caryatid might abandon him.

Fortunately, he had the Caryatid following him, and the Death Lord trusted him and gave him strong support.

Only when countless Necromunda bowed down to him could he rise to become the most powerful Necromunda in a short period of time.

Adams nodded slightly and asked.

How is the integration of these Techno-aristocrats' factories progressing?

"My lord, to date, I have controlled 14,800 factories of various types, accounting for more than 10% of the factories controlled by the Techno-aristocrats."

"Nine thousand four hundred of them have resumed operation, with production capacity reaching or even exceeding the original factory capacity."

The Death Lord nodded in satisfaction; Hemar's performance convinced him that he hadn't made a mistake in choosing him.

Adams didn't offer Hemar much practical help, merely granting him the title of Planetary Governor, which allowed him to quickly establish himself and enabled the Fourth Legion to focus its efforts on the other five star systems.

The Death Lord's brain worked quickly, and he drew a conclusion.

[At the current pace, it will take a maximum of five years to completely control the six star systems of the Orb Weaver League and incorporate them into the Legion's system.]

"If you encounter any obstacles that you cannot overcome, please report them to me."

"Sir, I will do my best to resolve this myself."

"I understand that you chose me so that you could entrust worldly affairs to someone else, rather than be bothered by trivial matters."

Adams glanced at the Caryatid; Hemar's achievements in such a short time were not due to luck alone.

"Maintain your proactive attitude, and you will get what you want. The Hemar Family will be the ruling family of Necromunda."

"My lord, I will certainly not let you down."

"There's one more thing. When you're developing your various Hive City, pay special attention to searching for Giant Spirit Spider; The Monarch Majesty is very interested in them."

Hemar's eyes showed reverence and longing; he had heard tales of the Monarch's deeds.

Adams's Primarch, the great Primarch Nimrod, was the one who ended the era of the Techno-aristocrats.

"My lord, I will certainly keep a close eye out and report to you immediately if I discover Giant Spirit Spider."

"Besides the Giant Spirit Spider, report to me immediately if any ruins or large tombs are discovered."

Adams explored four tombs but found little.

To master the power of the "Gravedigger," one must explore larger cemeteries.

Necromunda is so vast, with its Hive City as dense as a spider's web, that finding large tombs still requires relying on the locals.

"My lord, I have discovered that the Fourth Iron Lord's family has a tradition of elaborate burials. I speculate that each of those Hive City should have at least one large burial complex."

"I have dispatched my capable subordinates, and I believe their location will be determined soon."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."

While six star systems, including Necromunda, were developing rapidly, Nimrod's fleet also arrived on Terra.

Upon receiving the message, Tierney used an encrypted Communicator to send a message to Nimrod.

The Primarch dispatched the Shadow of Order of the Honor Guard to bring him before him.

After Tierney and other members of the Honor Guard withdrew, they reported to Nimrod.

"My lord, I have pinpointed the approximate area of Eight-Legged Black Wolf you instructed me to find."
