After the roar of the battlefield subsided, Nimrod walked up to the Shira Gal.

"My name Nimrod, the Primarch of the 'Shadow of Order'."

Rosicky translated his words into Lingua-technis, adding relevant information, and transmitted them to the Titan before him.

Information flowed into Anger's brain via wires and cables.

He understood the significance of the "Shadow of Order" and the Primarch, and he also understood that Nimrod had come to rescue the Legion leader of Incaladion.

Although this was different from the rescue from the sacred Mars that Anger had hoped for, he knew that Incaladion had no other choice.

Refusing the rescue of the "Shadow of Order" will only lead to the destruction of Incaladion in an endless civil war.

After assessing the situation, Anger turned on the speaker.

"Lord Nimrod, this is Anger, commander of the 'Tiger Eye' Legion and captain of the Sheila Gal. Thank you for your rescue."

"I will bring New Life to the shattered Incaladion," Nimrod said, gazing at the Titan before him.

"But before that, I must enter the Forge Temple and speak with the Sage."

"As you wish." Anger received the message and sent it to the Sage through the Incaladion communication network, while simultaneously using his authority to unlock the gates of the Forge Temple.

Nimrod entered the gate of the Forge Temple and immediately saw twelve Tech-priest dressed in red robes walking up to him, surrounded by a crowd.

Their faces, composed of metal and flesh, were expressionless; flashing lights replaced blinking eyes.

On the glass displays on their chests, lines of text were scrolling rapidly.

"My Lord," Rosicky said, translating after recognizing the Lingua-technis.

"Standing before you are the twelve Sage of Incaladion, the highest representatives of the Omnissiah within the Temple One."

"They express their gratitude for your rescue and hope that you can quell the rebellion in Incaladion and Purification the Xenos and heretics."

"Tell them this is why I'm here," Nimrod said. He then asked, "Demand that they provide a map of Incaladion and a complete overview of all the information they have."

Rosicky translated Nimrod's words to the Sage of Incaladion, and after receiving feedback, he began to report.

"My lord, they invite you in."

Nimrod followed the group of Sage into the hall.

One of the Sage walked to the metal table surrounded by screens, his Mechadendrite twitching.

A holographic image is generated above the metal table.

Nimrod observed that on the spherical surface of Incaladion, large swaths of green light covered almost the entire planet, while only eight areas radiated red light, resembling isolated islands.

"My lord, twelve Forge Temple were built in Incaladion, but now only Temple remain under their control: the first, third, fourth..."

"The 'Tiger Eye' Titan Legions has only fifty-seven Titan left."

After describing the small area controlled by Incaladion, Rosicky continued to report on the overwhelming enemy forces.

"The largest rebel force is the Sage Barnes, who controls the Second Forge Temple..."

"The Tarellians war beasts, after conquering the Seventh Forge Temple and the surrounding armories, roamed freely."

"The Carnivorous Sludge-men, emerging from the Abyssal Reef Meteor, have invaded the Eighth Forge Temple, devouring all the flesh and blood they can find."

Nimrod slightly. "Upload the information to the legion's Tactical Network."

He glanced at the many Sages, then at the Tech-Priest, and then spoke.

"I need assistance; you must send someone as my attendant."

Nimrod wanted to control Incaladion, so he directly asked for assistance.

They can both influence them and select suitable individuals from among them to serve as the future Fabricator-General of Incaladion.

"The Sage agree to your request, but they believe they cannot leave the Forge Temple because the Fabricator-General's death has activated Article 1, Section 12 of the Incaladion Emergency Protocol:"

"In the event of the death of the Fabricator-General, all Sage must remain stationed at their respective Forge Temple until the crisis is resolved."

"The Sage's logical processes prevented them from defying the deification of the Omnissiah."

[Just what I wanted.] Nimrod thought to himself, the logic and behavior patterns of the Sage had long been solidified along with the mechanization of their bodies.

In comparison, younger Tech-Priest are more easily influenced.

"Therefore, the Tech-Priest will accompany us."

As the Sage selected the Tech-Priest, Nimrod also deployed his legions.

"I am leading the Honor Guard in an attack on the Second Forge Temple."

"First Chapter, reclaim the Fifth Forge Temple."

"..."

"7th Legion, wipe out the Tarellians war beast hordes."

"11th Chapter, Cleanse the Carnivorous Sludge-men."

"Shadow of Order" then launched a full-scale offensive in Incaladion.

Howard Fender, following Nimrod's orders, restored order in the Osiris Sector. He dispatched Second Company Captain Yaxin as commander, leading the First Chapter to Incaladion.

"Father, order us to punish the rebels of the Fifth Temple." Yaxin looked at the enemy army ahead and gave the order.

As he spoke, he clenched his fist, the Power Fist gleaming brightly.

A dazzling light shone beneath the grey sky of Incaladion; the First Chapter possessed a large number of "Arbiter".

To utilize the exceptional fighting abilities bestowed upon them by their Primarch, they prefer to use Power Fist.

Yaxin charged straight at the enemy, squeezing every last bit of muscle power from his Mark II Crusade-pattern Power Armor to maintain his rapid pace.

The dense barrage of projectiles that shot towards them was deflected upon impact.

Yaxin withstood the impact and continued his charge.

The "Arbiter" swung their arms and slammed them against the metal hull of the tank.

The biggest advantage of the Power Fist compared to other weapons is that it increases the user's strength.

The energy field surrounding the metal arm armor tore the metal vehicle apart in an instant.

The "Arbiter" raised their arms, moving far more swiftly than the other Shadow of Order.

They swung their arms and swept across, sending the charging Combat Servitor flying and tearing them to shreds as they hit the ground.

Not long ago, Yaxin, who had been promoted to "Sheriff," suddenly stepped past a large number of enemy soldiers and locked his eyes on an enemy wearing a red robe.

His ability to "Detect Evil" allowed him to perceive that the enemy, whose mask was flashing with a crazy light and whose lower body had been transformed into spider legs, was both chaotic and insane.

Yaxin immediately strode forward and charged toward the enemy, whose body had been modified and was now taller than his own.

The "Sheriff's " arm swings and punches are fluid and graceful; he wields heavy Power Fist with the swiftness of a sword wielded by other Shadow of Order.

The "Sheriff" was unstoppable, destroying tank after tank.

The Sage, clad in a red robe, swung his Mechadendrite, swinging the Axe of the Omnissiah in his hand, the energy field of the Power Axe crackling loudly.

The two destructive energies collided, creating a deafening explosion.

The Sage swayed, and Yaxin seized the opportunity to leap up and punch the Sage in the face.

With a loud bang, the Sage's body was torn to shreds.

After the Sage's death, the rebel forces at the Fifth Forging Altar immediately descended into chaos.

Yaxin, acting as "Sheriff," immediately began to purge his new territory.

At the same time, the 7th Legion also began its hunt against the beast horde.

Based on physical appearance, the Tarellians war beasts are difficult to categorize into a single race.

A colossal Great Beast with an elephant-like body and a human-shaped head, whose movements caused the ground to tremble.

A pack of half-human, half-wolf beasts with fangs leaped and ran all around.

Sanchez transformed his Chapter into Warrior moved as swiftly as the wind.

Even the 4th Company of a tank platoon emphasized mobility.

The Gabriel-pattern Predator is equipped with relatively thin armor, but is faster and has greater attack power.

The Gabriel-pattern Predator sped through the herd at high speed.

The Gabriel, equipped with Flamestorm Cannon in its main turret, unleashed Destructive Melt-stream, engulfing the herd of mythical beasts.

The rising flames instantly separated the herd of beasts.

The Gabriel Predator, equipped with Twin-linked Assault Cannon in its main turret, swiftly followed.

They cut into the torn rift, firing a barrage of bullets to both sides, efficiently Reaping rows of wild beasts.

The Shadow of Order of the Catachan order led the Catachan Wolf into the battlefield, where they began their hunt.
