Attila

"The Attilan's most proficient weapon is the Hunting Spear," Sanchez said helplessly. "Teaching them to use Lasgun and change energy cartridges is far too difficult."

"The Tech-Priest of Incaladion made initial modifications to the Hunting Spear, attaching a Promethium canister below the spearhead."

Nimrod nodded slightly, thinking to himself: [The Hell-Tip.]

He knew that the Hunting Spear used by the future Imperium barbarian cavalry had many types of spear tips, including common ones like the Hell-Tip and the Armor-Piercing Tip- Piercing Spear Tip, as well as powerful ones Plasma Tip and the Melta Tip that could detonate armor.

"Once the spear tip strikes the enemy, it will detach, simultaneously spewing out scorching flames that incinerate the enemy, leaving behind a raging inferno in the enemy ranks."

"After that, they will switch to other weapons and continue their attack."

Nimrod nodded. "The Attilan need time to master essential skills like Lasgun, and they won't be able to set foot on the battlefield anytime soon."

Weapon research takes time, and for a considerable period of time, they will not possess the fighting strength of Attila Rough Riders.

Nimrod's mind conjured up images of countless cavalry charging towards the Necrons —the pinnacle of the barbarian cavalry battles in his memory.

On Loxar IV, the buried tombs were activated, and the Necrons awoke from their slumber.

After three years of fierce fighting, Attila Rough Riders finally assembled the largest cavalry force in the Imperium's history at the Lumon Valley.

The final scene shows 800,000 cavalry, including Attila Rough Riders, launching a massive charge that crushes the Necrons.

Nimrod gathered his thoughts and asked:

Are they suited to be hunters?

Sanchez looked back at the two tribes still fighting, left behind.

"The Attilan were well-suited to this; their guerrilla tactics, honed through thousands of years of tribal warfare, were effective for hunting."

"They are adept at using terrain features and cover to conceal their movements, suddenly appearing on high ground or ridges and quickly charging towards the enemy."

"Their weakness in learning ability will become Shadow of Order rather than a problem."

Nimrod knew that the Attilan rarely spent time learning to read and write; their lives had been consumed by war.

Written language was largely the domain of scribes, and even many of Attila's elite nobles were unwilling to concern themselves with such trivial matters.

This is also the biggest difference between them and the world where Jaghatai Khan fell; the Chogoris have a rich cultural atmosphere.

For the future, poetry will likely be a required course for those with White Scars.

Nimrod nodded slightly and said, "In that case, your Chapter will recruit soldiers in Attila."

"Yes, my lord."

As they spoke, countless enormous, hairy yak-like creatures appeared below, running under the influence of a dozen or so Attila herders.

Nimrod knew those were creatures called Oveja, who were the second most important creatures to the Attilan, after their horses.

Oveja's abundant flesh and black blood satisfied the basic survival diet of the grassland tribes.

He told Sanchez, "The Attilan are excellent shepherds, Oveja is delicious food."

"The Attilan and Oveja should be promoted to the Agri World of animal husbandry."

As the two spoke, the Stormbird over the herds, and the city came into view.

Groups of Latilan marched into the city from all directions.

Kanasang, Attila's only city.

Nimrod around, even by Vostonia's standards, Kanasang was a prosperous city.

The Stormbird landed slowly, and the two entered the city.

The short and wiry Attilan immediately noticed the group and burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Sanchez smiled and said, "My lord, just as you told me in the Data Crystal, the Attilan revere the strong, and they immediately pledge their loyalty after the best warriors of each tribe are defeated."

"They are enthusiastic and unrestrained; when they encounter us outside the city, they will chase after us just like before, and inside the city, they will cheer like they are now."

Nimrod slightly, and Sanchez led the way along the wide road toward Attilan's palace.

Nimrod noted that the Attilan's buildings were lower than those in other worlds.

Many residents of Kanasang use their own buildings to open shops, mostly selling Hunting Spear and various tools.

The visiting herders, leading their horses, searched the stalls, stopping when they saw something that interested them.

There are also many migrant herders who set up stalls to sell their wares.

Their trading methods were quite primitive; they did not have a unified currency and engaged in primitive barter trade.

Among the many low-rise buildings, a magnificent golden building rises from the ground.

Sanchez followed Nimrod's gaze and then said:

The chieftains of Attila's tribes were called Khan.

"The victor who prevailed in their struggles was called the Great Khan."

"He will reside in the Khan Palace in Kanasang, govern the entire city, and levy a tax on trade, typically one-eighteenth of the traded goods."

He turned to look at the Black Emperor and continued speaking.

"Of course, if the Great Khan is defeated in the struggle, he will be immediately replaced."

"The war that is breaking out between the Great Khan is much larger in scale than we just saw; tens of thousands of people will die in the struggle."

"My lord, should we intervene in their conflict?"

"Keep it within a limited range; no more than a hundred deaths are allowed," Nimrod instructed.

He knew that the Attilan's tradition of fighting had lasted for thousands of years, and that the tradition of never ending the battle was the basis for what made the Attilan known as valiant Warrior.

He did not want to force the Attilan to change completely, but rather to keep them within a limited range of competition.

Although I initially rejected Ferrus Manus's suggestion, Vostonia does not have a tradition like Attila's, and I will not impose harsh policies on them.

This does not contradict preserving Attila's traditions and reducing the intensity of combat.

"I understand," the Reaper Lord replied.

Sanchez heard a buzzing sound from the Communication Bead in his ear. He pressed the Communication Bead and then spoke to Nimrod.

"The Great Khan and the Khan of other major tribes have prepared a feast in the Khan Palace."

Nimrod followed Sanchez toward the magnificent palace gates, where he saw a dozen or so people dressed in luxurious robes.

They were startled to see that the black-armored giant was even larger and more imposing than Sanchez.

They knelt on one knee, placing their right hand on their chest in a gesture of respect.

Nimrod noticed that the smell emanating from them was no different from that of ordinary people, indicating that they had clearly never bathed.

"Get up," he said in Attila, a language that now took him only a few seconds to extract from the hearts of the locals.

"By Primarch, we have prepared the grandest feast to welcome you."

After the Great Khan finished speaking, he led the way, Nimrod walked into the palace under the awe-inspiring gazes of the Attilan.

A moment later, Nimrod looked at the Great Khan's cook, who was nervously putting the food to the last drop.

To ensure the best taste, it can only be done after they are seated.

The enormous Oveja, spinning with a crackling sound, carried the aroma of charred fat from the firewood, mingling with the intense scent of meat and pungent spices, carried by a gentle breeze, overpowering the heavy smell of the Attilan.

Nimrod picked up his fork and put a small piece of the pasta into his mouth.

The fat in Oveja melts in your mouth, the meat is sweet and savory, the spices are salty and spicy, and the caramelized aftertaste lingers in your mouth.

"Excellent," Nimrod praised sincerely.

On his the Fourth Sun in Attila's palace, Nimrod stood atop the Khan Palace and looked down.

Thibault, the First Company Captain of the 7th Legion, shouted provocatively at the two Khan.

"I heard that you two always fight whenever you meet. This time, you should gather your Warrior for another great battle."

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it, unless you can defeat me."

"Come on, I'm empty-handed, you two charge at me now."

The intelligence the "Provoker" possessed caused him to provoke both Khan into simultaneously roaring in anger.

They pushed off with both legs at the same time, and their mounts charged rapidly toward Thibault.

Thibault, who had just been promoted to "Pyromaniac," did not use his newly acquired abilities, knowing that power was what impressed the Attilan the most.

Without dodging or evading, he swung his arms upwards, knocking the two Spear away.

Thibault then stretched out his arms and knocked down both warhorses.

Nimrod withdrew his gaze and looked at Sanchez, who was walking towards him.

"My lord, news has come from Calth: the workers encountered a terrible monster after venturing deep into the cave."
