Frix: The Sky Eagle Shuttle Gifted by Lord Nimrod
The machine made my father very happy!
"My lord, in accordance with your will, I have reached an agreement with the League of Votann." Arsena Dunn presented the Data Slate to the Black Emperor.
Nimrod took the Data Slate and quickly examined its contents.
"The League of Votann agrees that, after fulfilling their responsibilities as defined by the Imperium, any surplus production will be supplied to us preferentially, covering weaponry, civilian products, and various minerals."
"The artisans of Squat are willing to design suitable Sagitaur and Hekaton Land Fortress for the Legion."
"I've seen their Warrior's vehicles. Although the Hearthkyn are shorter, their vehicles have a relatively large interior space, which is usable by ordinary Auxilia Warrior. However, they appear quite cramped in the Shadow of Order."
Upon hearing this, Nimrod's eyes flashed. In his memory, after the Squats nominally joined the Imperium, they did not build the Sagitaur or the Hekaton Land Fortress for the Imperium.
This is also the best proof of their considerable independence. Although the Tech-priest also had considerable freedom in supplying weapons, they still had to meet the Imperium's requirements to a considerable extent, especially during the time of the Old Man in Yellow and the Primarch.
The Sagitaur ATV is a high-performance, rapid-response all-terrain vehicle capable of operating in various extreme environments.
This the Chariot is best suited for use in exploration activities, and its performance is among the best in its class of reconnaissance the Chariot.
The Hekaton Land Fortress is a signature combat vehicle and Armored Transport for the Squats, a versatile and practical asset for any clan and Mining Guild.
Its modular standard manufacturing templates allow for the replacement of different weapons and warheads as needed, meeting a full range of requirements from personnel transportation to destroying enemy heavy weapons.
The Sagitaur ATV, as a light vehicle, is often used in conjunction with the Hekaton Heavy Fortress, which is positioned as a heavy vehicle.
The Sagitaur ATV was one thing, but the STC at Hekaton Land Fortress was the envy of the Imperium.
However, Nimrod has not yet obtained either of these two STCs from Votann during their exchanges.
While Nimrod was pondering, the Primarch's Attendants continued to report.
"The League of Votann will send a 10,000-strong Iron Oath to accompany the Legion in battle."
"The Iron Oath will gradually increase in number, eventually reaching 50,000."
Nimrod knew that the League of Votann had suffered heavy losses in a major battle and needed time to recover. In the short term, he would not start any other major battles besides Gardinal. As for Gardinal, he planned to focus on ordinary Beyonder as the core, which could be done later.
He nodded in satisfaction and said to the silver-haired Arsena, "Well done, thank you for your hard work."
A moment later, Nimrod walked toward the main hall of the League of Votann to the melodious strains of a dwarven flute.
The Primarch its surroundings, and in the "Warp Vision," the Short-kin members of the League of Votann looked at themselves and the guard members with complex emotions in their eyes.
It has a dark red tinged with hatred, and a pale gray tinged with confusion.
[Compared to the recent great battle, the vengeful Squats' hatred for the Legion is relatively weak; the Votann's influence on them is indeed considerable.]
Lorenzo greeted them at the gate; as the only surviving Lord Grimnyr, he naturally became the chief.
As the sole Lord Grimnyr, before the High Lord was chosen, he could only stand on the front lines and directly represent the League of Votann in signing the treaty with Nimrod.
Lorenzo walked up to Nimrod and said:
"I have dispatched prospecting teams to search the center of the Galaxy and select mineral-rich stars for you."
"I hope to establish our friendship through this gift and this pledge."
Nimrod smiled and extended his right hand, "It definitely will."
His large hand covered the Squats's hand, and the surrounding Shadow of Order and the Squats all witnessed this harmonious scene.
Two days after Nimrod signed the agreement with the League of Votann, the flagships of the Fourth Legion and Fifteenth Legion arrived simultaneously in the Squat System.
Heading to the surrendered Squat Prime, the two Primarch coincidentally chose to board the Aquila Shuttle, a gift they had recently received.
Inside the hangar, Magnus looked at the red aircraft in front of him and smiled as he spoke to Amon, the Primarch's Attendants beside him.
"The Aquila Shuttle is indeed an elegant vehicle; compared to the Stormbird, its outstretched wings are reminiscent of the Imperium."
Meanwhile, Perturabo circled the silver Aquila Shuttle, his icy blue eyes scrutinizing every part of the steel aircraft, his mind instinctively breaking down the entire machine into a series of data.
[Length 23.6 meters, wingspan 42.9 meters, height 16.2 meters, weight 84 tons...]
"Yes, it's twice the size of those ordinary flying vehicles. Nimrod wasn't lying; it really is a flying vehicle specially designed for the Primarch."
Warsmith Frix, First Company Captain, with the Trident Blade of the Spear, was surprised to see the usually stern Primarch, unusually, smile.
This was the first time he had seen his father smile; he had always thought his Primarch would always be so serious.
With the return of their Primarch, the "Iron Warriors" unleashed a fighting spirit far stronger than ever before, displaying combat power far exceeding their former strength in the assault on the D-1504 star system.
However, not long ago, after the "Iron Warriors" conquered Hearth-Fortress, the Primarch's evaluation was merely "barely acceptable; they need to perform better next time."
Seeing his father now showing such a clear smile, Frix couldn't help but think to himself.
Father is very pleased with the Aquila Shuttle gifted by Lord Nimrod!
How to gain the respect of one's brothers?
As Frix pondered the reason, he heard Perturabo's rock-like voice.
"Boarding."
Frix noticed that the smile on the Primarch had completely disappeared, and if he weren't Superman's Astartes, he would have even suspected that the fleeting smile on his father's face might have been a hallucination.
Perturabo took two steps toward the deck and said casually.
"Take these two Plasma Gun I crafted. Although I made them casually, I did so with my own hands. I'm going to give them to my two brothers."
Perturabo was not worried that his offspring would discover that the Plasma Gun he crafted between battles were meticulously crafted Master-crafted Weapon.
In those moments when he wasn't forging weapons, he would use the Emperor, the talent bestowed upon him by his father, to conceive and perfect the weapon in his mind using numbers and craftsmanship standards.
Perturabo drew upon the plasma technology of both the Imperium and the Squats, and he was absolutely confident that these two weapons surpassed any Plasma Gun in the Imperium's arsenal.
"Yes, Father." Frix personally picked up the two Plasma Gun; he had seen Perturabo dismantle the Squats' Eta - Kharn Plasma Gun.
The Data Slate he handed over allowed the "Iron Warriors '" Plasma Gun forging technology to leap forward, achieving unparalleled stability among many legions, and there were no explosions in subsequent battles.
The father, however, devoted even more effort to those two Plasma Gun, masterpieces coveted by every Warsmith.
Four guards equipped with new Plasma Gun boarded the Aquila Shuttle with Perturabo and the First Company Captain.
