Hongbei Sector Rich in Blackstone

In the Fourth Layer Space of the "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod nodded in satisfaction after listening to Wilshire's report.

"This is good news. The new standards Keri established will help us build Agri World that differs from most of the Imperium's planets."

For the foreseeable future, the best course of action is to make targeted improvements to each world before he acquires the Mystery the Aeldari's construction of the Crone World, or before "Mother" Pathway Beyonder like Malena Skala gain the ability to transform the entire world.

"As you should already know, at the last War Council, Lorgar Aurelian proposed the idea of establishing Chaplain, but the Emperor ultimately decided that the decision should be left to the individual legions."

"I have decided to establish the position of Chaplain to examine the spirit of those under the Shadow of Order and to boost morale during wartime."

"Do you wish to continue as Chapter Master, or switch to leading the Chaplain?"

Wilshire fell into deep thought, and after a dozen seconds, she spoke.

"My lord, I would rather command the Shadow of Order in battle."

"Of course, I will make the Second Legion Your most loyal followers."

"Alright," Nimrod didn't insist. He preferred that the position be filled by Beyonder from the "Visionary" Pathway, but there wasn't a suitable candidate at the moment.

"Do you have anyone suitable to serve as Chaplain under your command?"

Wilshire did not hesitate this time and replied immediately.

"Martin, with his unwavering will and loyalty to You, is the most suitable candidate."

"I have granted him the ability to become a member of the Royal Court." Martin, whom Wilshire mentioned, had long been in Nimrod's sights.

Besides him, Nimrod also trained thirty-six "Bard" in the Second Legion within this batch of Honor Guard, and selected fifty-two "Spectator" from other Chapter.

They were all equipped with the Scepter of Truth and became the first Chaplain.

However, Martin was less capable than Wilshire and did not meet his standards, so he could only serve as the second-in-command of the future Chaplain system, overseeing the Royal Court members of the "Sun" Pathway.

[Then let it remain vacant for now, and select Chief Chaplain when a suitable candidate becomes available.]

Nimrod was pondering this, just as he was about to send Wilshire back, he heard him speak.

"My lord, I have discovered that the Mediator in Gardinal use a special kind of amber in their prisons, which they call 'Prisoner Amber'."

"Amber is not natural; it is synthesized using various biochemical energy methods."

"I think you might be interested in them."

Upon hearing about the Prisoner Amber, Nimrod immediately realized that Wilshire was probably referring to the main ingredient of the potion "Justiciar," Sequence 6 of the "Judge" Pathway.

"After you return, hold a ceremony to offer some of the amber to me."

He then sent Wilshire back to the Radiance, and after waiting a moment, he heard a murmur in his ear.

The Baron of Corruption's Spirituality spread, touching the shimmering golden orb.

Nimrod now held a crystal box. After a moment's thought, the Primarch confirmed that the golden amber inside the box was the same shape as the Prisoner Amber on the Blasphemy Slate.

The Baron of Corruption's Spirituality spread once more, touching Wilshire's sphere of light, and he spoke, "I am very interested in them."

After severing his connection with Wilshire, he then touched Howard Fender's orb of light.

Nimrod then saw Horde swing his arm, and the Power Fist smashed into the head of an Aeldari.

[Is Howard hunting Alicia's Aeldari Corsair?]

He whispered, "Pray to me after the battle," and then transmitted it to the sphere of light through a subtle connection.

Unable to prepare a potion for Howard in the short term, Nimrod had an idea and left the "Nation of Disorder".

He had just returned to the real world when the Communication Bead started buzzing.

Nimrod raised his hand and pressed the Communication Bead. After the call connected, the voice of Arsena Dunn came through.

"My lord, the fleet has sailed out of the Warp Gate and arrived at the Vigilant Star."

"I understand," Nimrod replied, then walked out of his room. Black Wolf Freddy and Brainy Cat John immediately got up and followed him.

A moment later, Nimrod arrived at the bridge.

Upon seeing him, the silver-haired Primarch's Attendants immediately reported.

"My lord, the ship is heading towards the Vigilant Star and is expected to arrive within one day in ship time."

Nimrod nodded and ordered, "Activate the protective shield."

He had come and gone in haste while fighting the Khaine -Han world, and had not yet had a chance to see this star system that was important to both humans and Aeldari.

The motor hummed, the blinds on both sides of the window rose, and Arsena walked over and stopped behind the Black Emperor.

"My lord, besides the Vigilant Star and its satellite Xinhao Star, there is another important planet in the entire system."

"The planet Graves Soul-Grabber Planet the edge of the galaxy, and the asteroid belt surrounding it, are rich in mineral resources."

"The Arbites Lord developed it into Industrial World, entirely controlled by the Legion, with a production capacity that even surpasses some of the Forge World that the Imperium is developing."

"Besides conventional military and civilian weapons and equipment, it has made the fastest progress in converting Squats Shield-Weave technology."

Primarch Arsena's explanation, the Primarch's gaze traversed the void, looking towards the edge of the galaxy.

Countless stars of different sizes and irregular shapes orbit around the Soul-Grabber Planet like grains of sand.

The Primarch's pupils contracted, its gaze focused, and it could see a high-powered Lumen Lamp illuminating the space around the asteroid.

Like ants, transport vehicles streamed back and forth, delivering the steelworks' creations to the transport ships.

Nimrod withdrew his gaze and looked at the star system's main star.

The Primarch's Attendants, who had been observing the Black Emperor's movements, spoke up.

"Because of the discovery of Bastion-class Energy Shield, the local families have developed a strong preference for shield technology."

"Of course, none of their families possessed the technology to build and maintain the entire Hive City."

"Even the ruling Agamenus family possesses the technology to build and maintain a single dome, but with the guidance of their Librarian and Tech Sergeant, they were able to manufacture the personal energy shield components for Rangdan, accelerating the deployment of the legion."

Nimrod slightly. In the "Warp Vision," an invisible Psionic Energy shield shone with colorful light, protecting each and Hive City.

"My lord, there is a strange thing that I think should be of concern to you," the "Knowledge Keeper" reminded him.

"What?" Nimrod asked in a deep voice.

"The Legion's base here is located in the northern Hongbei Sector, protected by Bastion-class Energy Shield."

"Strangely, the shield's energy consumption is 12.5 percent higher than in other areas of the planet."

Although the energy consumption itself is not noteworthy, and it is not even as significant as the need for support from other worlds due to local water shortages, the "Knowledge Keeper" still consider it noteworthy.

Nimrod did not turn back; he followed the direction of his voyage and looked toward the continent to the north of the Vigilant Star.

After a moment's thought, he knew the reason.

"Deep beneath the mainland of the Hongbei Sector lies a rich deposit of Blackstone minerals. Although these deposits have not been mined or utilized, their natural energy fields are interfering with the energy shield."

"Let the Tech Sergeant do the digging."

Nimrod recalled that after Agamenus unearthed the Bastion-class Energy Shield, it was unable to maintain it.

Therefore, an agreement was reached with the Forge World's Huangquan VIII, in exchange for the transfer of control of the Hongbei Sector and the maintenance by the Tech-priest.

Later, Huangquan VIII Heretics, who believed in Xenos technology, discovered Blackstone -related technology while exploring the Necrons, and thus began excavation.

After the "Great Rift" unfolded, while numerous forces were battling the Vigilant Star, the faction on the Huangquan VIII showed no concern for the lives of the Imperium's people, focusing solely on protecting their mining operations and even refusing to share the drinking water they extracted from the Polar Glacier.

Because Nimrod acted in advance, Vigilant Star Hongbei Sector, the underground Blackstone, and the Doomsday Weapon Void Claws were all within his territory.
