The Eight Great Forging Worlds, Seven Have Formed an Alliance with Me
863 AD.
Segmentum Pacificus, Vicious Sector, Shadow of the Throne, Primarch Office.
"Lord Nimrod, as per your orders, I have taken control of the Gildas System."
"After a comprehensive scan, it was confirmed that the mineral deposits on the Gildas Prime are even richer than those on Shana II and Xana V combined."
"After reporting to the Council of Magos, I received a reward and was promoted to Sage."
Upon hearing this, Nimrod nodded slightly. As he had expected, with his resources and support, Anakaris Scoria had grown rapidly.
I remember that the original Anakaris became Sage thirty years before the Great Birthday Celebration.
With my help, he has been promoted to Sage more than a hundred years ahead of schedule.
Therefore, the future Tyrant of Xana, the power ceiling of the Tech-priest will definitely become even higher.
Nimrod said with satisfaction, "Well done."
"Not only that, sir, I have directly obtained the title of Magos Macro-Fabricator."
Anakaris was unsure whether Lord Nimrod was familiar with the Church's organizational structure, he explained.
"Magos Macro-Fabricator" is a high-ranking Sage title, overseeing a large number of Enginseer.
"I even have the authority to organize the Enginseer into an army and send them to the battlefield."
"That's great news, congratulations, Anakaris." Nimrod had some understanding of the Magos Macro-Fabricator, which was one of the highest titles in the Mechanicum Custodians system, and the power they possessed was unmatched in the entire Forge World.
The Enginseer were originally responsible for manufacturing weapons and equipment, and only a few Sage had the authority to deploy them as an armed force on the battlefield.
The armor they made for themselves far surpassed the standards of the Astartes; it was all custom-made.
The weapons they use are not mass-produced standard weapons. Master-level Power Axe are the basic equipment, and each person also has Grav-gun and Volkite Gun. They also bring their own Auxiliary Combat Automata.
You gave me all of this.
"I, Anakaris Scoria, will follow in your footsteps forever."
The "Baron of Corruption's" eyes were suddenly filled with Rule Line.
Anakaris's entire mechanical system, including his Cybernetic Eye, armor, weapons, and everything else, transformed into Rule Line.
His body was boiling, and something inside him was rapidly disintegrating, shattering, and dissipating.
His Spirituality became more active, the potion was stimulated, and digestion accelerated.
Anakaris has been "Corrosion" by me; he's just one step away from completely digesting the "Baron of Corruption."
As I expected, the process is progressing as planned. Once I corrupt Balthasar Kuturi or someone similar, I can complete the digestion.
"I accept your allegiance. I will grant you power. Wait in the reception area for five minutes."
If Anakaris is "Corrosion" and becomes completely loyal to him, Nimrod will provide him with more resources.
A moment later, Anakaris drank the golden potion.
His brain exploded like a tidal wave; every Data Crystal he had ever studied, every Data Slate he had ever examined, and all the information contained within it flashed through his mind.
A string of junk code flashed through Anakaris's data engine, and he sensed it was about to crash.
He also felt that the Logic Engine was running at full speed, and he gained some completely new understandings of knowledge.
Anakaris schedules the Archives to store new information.
He realized that some of the understanding, some of the information automatically derived and deduced by the Logic Engine, was the answer to the question that had been troubling him recently: how to further increase the number of Mechadendrite and make them work together.
Moments later, under Nimrod's tutelage, Anakaris restrained the overflowing potion power and became a "Savant".
"My Lord, thank you for your blessings."
"I will certainly make good use of the power you have bestowed upon me to seize Xana."
I will dedicate Xana to you.
Nimrod nodded slightly. "I believe you can do it. Don't rush things. I'll tell you when the time is right."
"Go find the Lord of the Forge now and ask him for the Reliquary Armor for research."
"It is the culmination of 3,600 years of mechanical modification. It is integrated with the entire body and can use dozens of weapon systems simultaneously. I believe you will gain Revelation from it."
Anakaris's quadruple optical Cybernetic Eye shone brightly. "My lord, I will not let you down."
After Anakaris left, Nimrod's Communication Bead buzzed, and Arsena Dunn's voice came through.
"My lord, I have received a report that the negotiation team sent to Mars has reached an agreement with the Forge World, and I wish to report this to you now."
"Alright." Nimrod agreed to the Primarch's Attendants's request.
Six minutes later, the silver-haired Arsena entered the Primarch's office. He bowed respectfully and began to report.
"My lord, we have reached an agreement with the Forge World, Ryza, authorizing them to provide the construction template for the Land Raider main battle tank."
"In return, Ryza agreed to an alliance with us, to provide supplies, and to supply us with their renowned Plasma Weapon and Plasma Weapon equipped with them."
"Because of the Ork threat, they cannot send their Titan Legions to assist in the operation, but they are willing to provide their newly developed Stormblade super-heavy tanks."
Arsena manipulated his Control Staff, projecting a holographic image of the Stormblade in front of Nimrod.
"As far as I know, not all Forge World have a standard template for building the Shadowsword; some have found ways to create alternatives," Arsena remarked.
"Ryza is different from those conservative and stagnant Forge World; it is one of the few Forge World that loves invention and innovation," Nimrod agreed.
"For Mars, Ryza meant heresy in a sense, but they had no choice; they were constantly facing the threat of the Ork."
"Yes, it was precisely in the face of the continuous Ork onslaught that they developed the Stormblade to counter the Stompa," Arsena continued.
"It can also be used against Bone-Eater."
[Of course, there are also Titan.] Nimrod thought to himself.
He knew that Shadowsword and Stormblade were characters from "Titan Slayer".
Of course, due to their relatively slow rate of fire, one or even several of these "Titan killer" weapons pose little threat to a single Warlord-class Titan.
At least one squadron of "Titan Slayers" is needed to pose a real threat to Titan.
"I agree to their terms," Nimrod said.
" To Forge World's Steel Ball, we hope to obtain authorization for the Standard Template Construct of the Land Speeder."
"They are willing to form an alliance with the Legion, providing supplies and supplying the Legion with Kastelan Robot."
"They are also willing to send forty-one Titan from the 'Iron Skull' Titan Legions to fight alongside the Legion."
"I agree to their terms," Nimrod thought to himself, his eyes deep.
I have previously reached agreements of varying degrees with Mars, Huangquan VIII, Lucius, Graia, and Gryphonne IV.
Including Ryza and Steel Ball, who are about to reach an agreement, all eight of the largest future Forge World, except for Agripinaa which has not yet been established, have reached agreements with me to varying degrees.
Well, Xana's production capacity is no less than that of the eight great Forge World; it's just that it was originally destined to betray them and become Hell-Forge.
