Cypra Mundi

As soon as the fleet arrived at Cepra Mundi, Nimrod looked out the viewing window at the Warp Gate.

The Warp Gate is circular in shape, which is consistent with the physical structure of the Orb Weaver League's Warp Gate.

However, it lacks the eight outward-protruding folded mechanical branches, which are inlaid with black patterns as decoration.

The Warp Gate requires a massive energy supply for intergalactic Teleport. Cepra Mundi's portal is also built around a star, using a special energy device to gather the Sun's energy to power the Warp Gate.

Arsena Dunn stood to his side and slightly behind, believing it was time to report on the progress of the Warp Gate's deployment.

"My Lord, the Lord of the Forge has obeyed your command and completed the deployment of Warp Gate and Bastion-class Energy Shield in Vostonia, Cepra Mondi, and the Vigilant Star."

"Currently, he is making arrangements in the Triken system."

Nimrod nodded slightly and asked, "Are there any noteworthy battles currently being fought by each Chapter?"

The Old Man in Yellow entrusted him with the command of the 14th and 18th Legion, and he should take responsibility and lead the two army corps into battle.

This also presents an opportunity to learn about the two legions.

The "Deduction Cadets" racked his brains, considering various war-related situations, and after a dozen seconds, spoke:

"My lord, the Second Legion is fighting in the Stevenage System against the Xenos pirates, Andres, who are based in that system."

"Andres is a galactic civilization that has established bases on three planets, temporarily holding off the Second Legion's offensive."

Nimrod thought to himself upon hearing this.

Wilshire is exceptionally talented and should have already absorbed the "Bard's " potion.

This is a good opportunity to promote him to Sequence 8, "Light Worshipper".

Having considered this, Nimrod made a decision.

He looked at Cepra Mundy, who was getting closer, and then asked Diana Pauline, who was standing on the other side.

"You're the captain. From your perspective, what do you think of the fleet base of Cepra Mundy's 'Shadow of Order'?"

Diana, who had just been promoted to Sequence 8 "Telepathist," glanced at the Primarch, but couldn't read anything from his face, before she spoke:

"My lord, Cepra Mondi is the crossroads of numerous Warp Route, making it an ideal location for the Legion's fleet base."

"The shipyard and starport built under the leadership of Wojciech, with Cepra Mundi at its core, make full use of the surrounding satellites and asteroid belt to construct a multi-dimensional, three-dimensional starport system."

"This maximizes the use of space, while clearly separating military and civilian functions for mooring, maintenance, and construction, ensuring that they do not interfere with each other."

Diana then changed the subject, pointing out the loophole she had found.

"My lord, I believe that Cepra Mundy's Orbital Defense System still has vulnerabilities. In the event of a large-scale enemy attack, even if the enemy is eventually driven out, significant losses will be incurred."

"If the Warp Gate is attacked, it could trigger Catastrophe consequences, causing devastating damage to the entire galaxy."

"Vostonia, the Legion's homeworld, also has defensive vulnerabilities. When the Legion's fleet goes on expeditions, it may be attacked by enemies of the Imperium, resulting in significant losses."

She recalled the recent war, citing examples to strengthen the persuasiveness of her argument.

"If it weren't for the timely discovery of the Flao's gathering in the Cydonia System by the Rogue Trader Lewis von Valancieus, it might have caused damage to the Vostonia System."

In Nimrod's memory, Cepra Mondi was originally a major strategic target for any hostile force, serving as the Forge World, the Imperium's military base and naval headquarters in the Segmentum Obscurus.

To ensure a flawless defense, at any given time, Cepra Mundi has six to eight Ramillies-class Star Fortress as part of its Orbital Defense System.

The Fenris System, known as the "Space Wolves," is defended by only two Ramillies-class Star Fortress, the Gomenzar and the Mjana.

Of course, Wolf-Fang Fortress is a unique Fortress-Monastery, and its defensive capabilities are far superior to those of other fortresses.

I hoped to acquire Wolf-Fang Fortress after the Fire Wheel War to defend Vostonia, but I never expected the Old Man in Yellow to give me the Spear of Dionysus.

Without Wolf-Fang Fortress, quantity can compensate for lack of quality; the Great Sage Rian Ramirez has not yet discovered STC.

Next time, I will use the Dice of Prophecy to divine the location of the Ramillies-class Star Fortress (STC) and master Star Fortress construction technology.

Nimrod secretly compared Wolf-Fang Fortress and Ramillies-class Star Fortress in his mind.

[Wolf-Fang Fortress is deployed on the surface, and its orbital defense capabilities are actually inferior to those of the Ramillies-class Star Fortress.]

Moreover, the Ramillies-class Star Fortress has a unique advantage over the Wolf-Fang Fortress: it is deployed in space, which can prevent enemies from approaching the planet's orbit and avoid damage to various worlds.

This is how we keep enemies at our borders!

Furthermore, although Ramillies-class Star Fortress take a long time to build, they can be continuously manufactured and deployed to various strategically valuable star systems to construct a defense system.

The "Telepathist" had been observing Nimrod. Suddenly, she noticed the Primarch's lips curl up, and a smile appeared on his face. She thought to herself.

[Something seems to have put Lord Nimrod in a good mood.]

At this moment, what Nimrod was thinking about was: [The Leman Russ Battle Tank has been renamed Belik.]

The Ramillies-class Star Fortress will also be renamed.

This is the change I brought about: discovering two major STCs ahead of time will benefit the Legion in every way.

Cepra Mundy, the Bergkamp House residence.

Chief Schlumberger, as the foremost jeweler of Vostonia, keenly recognized this as an opportunity when news of Cepra Mandy's discovery reached Vostonia.

Cepra Mundi is the crossroads of numerous Warp Route, a place brimming with immense business opportunities.

Schlumberger decisively shifted the Bergkamp House's business focus to Cepra Mundy, while the business in Vostonia remained at its current size.

He rubbed his thumb against the red gem on the head of the exquisite Psyker Crystal cane in his hand, which he, as Psionic Energy craftsman, had crafted himself.

Schlumberger looked at his twelve-year-old grandson, Santiago, and said:

"Since you have decided to serve the Monarch Majesty and have passed the test, you are now a candidate for the 5th Legion."

"Then we must pass all the tests, become the Shadow of Order, and win glory for the Bergkamp House."

Schlumberger looked at his grandson, Santiago, who was the most gifted in Psionic Energy among his descendants and could become a top Psionic Energy craftsman.

Santiago awakened his Psionic Energy talent at the age of five, and completed the creation of his first Psionic Energy item, a divination crystal ball, at the age of nine.

Schlumberger placed his vision for the future expansion of his family into the Psionic Energy business on him, but two years ago, Santiago suddenly decided to participate in the Shadow of Order recruits selection.

Santiago passed the initial selection a month ago and became a candidate for recruits. He will leave home tomorrow to undergo final training and selection.

"Later, we will set off together to Starport to welcome the Monarch Majesty."

The Bergkamp House, as new members of Cepra Mundy's elite, received five spots.

Two of the spots were an extra reward given to the Bergkamp House by the Planetary Governor upon learning that Santiago had been among the first to pass the initial selection, thus giving them the same number of spots as noble families.

"Grandfather, I will definitely win glory for the Bergkamp House."

Santiago's eyes gleamed. He hadn't expected that he would be able to see the Primarch, Nimrod, before he even became Shadow of Order of Glory.

Like many other families, the Bergkamp House arrived at the reception area outside the tarmac two hours in advance to wait.

Nimrod stepped off the tarmac on time, accompanied by numerous Servo-skull equipped with megaphones and silk ribbons, which simultaneously chanted loudly.

"Lord Nimrod, the Primarch of the Eleventh Legion, the Monarch of Vostonia, the Ork Purifiers..."

"Lord Nimrod, the supreme ruler and protector of Cepra Mandy..."

"Welcome, Lord Nimrod, you have arrived!"

Santiago cheered with the crowd, gazing up at the giant clad in black armor with golden wings on his back, and silently thought to himself.

Is this Lord Nimrod?

I must become Shadow of Order, serving the Monarch faithfully.

Five days after Nimrod arrived at Cepra Mundi, the fleet of the 18th Legion arrived.

The Primarch meets with Legion Commander Cassian Vaughn in the temporary palace.
