Alkahas Phall's Recommended Target for "Corrosion"

"Those are the Chu-Oorians. Although they possess advanced spaceships, they lack the ability to travel in Warp, which is why they attacked the Navigator."

"They can use Mind-Control Maggot to control people's minds, and their purpose in capturing human Navigator is to use them for Warp travel and to build their own Imperium."

The Primarch compiled all the information he knew about Chu Orr and sent it to the two of them Telepathy.

"I'm very interested in their queen; let's capture her."

"The ceremony will be held tomorrow, and I will bestow upon you the Arc Projector."

"Offer them to me, along with their Mind-Control Maggot, the Planetary Marker Stone they used for their voyages, and the Deep Space Monolith."

The Queen of the Chu-Oor people is the primary material for the "Psychologist" Sequence 6 "Hypnotist," while the Mind-Control Maggot is a secondary material.

The Planetary Marker Stone of the Chu-Oor people are the primary material for the "Scribe," Sequence 6 follower of the "Astrologer," while the Deep Space Monolith is a secondary material.

Alkahas and Neratt exchanged a glance. Although the Black Emperor's orders differed from the killing missions given by Lord Horus, the Black Emperor's will was paramount.

"I will obey your orders."

"My lord," Alkahas said again, "In my 89th Company, there is a Warrior of exceptional talent."

Nimrod asked with great interest when he heard Alkahas recommend talent.

What's his name?

"His name is Alastor Rorschach, and his comrades in his company call him Raven," Alkahas Phall continued.

"Despite his young age, he has already proven himself in a series of battles and is highly praised."

Upon hearing the name Alastor Rorschach, Nimrod already knew who Alkahas had recommended.

Alastor was Raven Guard, but after the Dropsite Massacre, he joined the "Night Lords" and became a member of the Night Bat Council.

The Night Bat Council is the future leadership organization of the "Night Lords," composed of high-ranking members within the Legion.

Following the "Saramas Crusade," in order to gain an advantage in the fierce power struggle within the Legion, Sevatar brought Alastor into the Night Bat Council.

Despite being a member of the Night Bat Council, Alastor was in an awkward position, lacking his own military force.

But Alastor's abilities are quite good, and the key point is that since he betrayed Corvus Corax, his will is not unshakable.

This means that he can be "Corrosion".

"Prepare a frigate, load it with the sacrificial offerings, and order Alastor to escort it," Nimrod instructed.

Tell Horus this is to express my gratitude for your rescue in Xana.

Alkahas was taken aback. He looked up into the depths of the mist and saw only a blurry figure.

As the Lord of Shadows of the XIX Legion, he immediately understood the Black Emperor's implied meaning.

"My Lord, you don't want them to know that I am loyal to you."

"That's right." To ensure that the Old Man in Yellow would entrust the artifact Silent Glaze, to the Exiled Terran-born he trusted, Nimrod wanted to keep Alkahas as normal.

"Also, you and Neratt should avoid frequent contact in the future, and don't let anyone discover your close relationship."

Corvus Corax will not immediately Exile all Terran-born upon his return; in order to bring them all under his command, Neratt Gillin must remain with the Raven Guard.

This way, they can take the remaining Terran-born with them before the Great Birthday Celebration, and also learn something from Corax.

Despite being of Terran-born and disliked by Neratt Corax, and not even having seen his Primarch before being used as cannon fodder at "Gate No. 42," the "Ashen Claws" were Chapter had reformed its tactics according to the new strategies of the Raven Guard.

"We understand."

The black mist engulfed the two, Nimrod sent them out of the "Nation of Disorder".

Segmentum Pacificus, Sveik System.

The flagship of the XIX Legion was renamed the Kraken by the Lord of Shadows.

Alkahas sat on his the Throne. "Has the Arc Projector been issued?"

"The Lord of Shadows has been issued; each squad has one." The Honor Guard captain immediately reported to the Chapter Master.

"Very good," Alkahas, a slight smile appearing on his grim face. "Remember what the Xenos Queen looks like, capture them."

"I want to present them to Lord Nimrod, who lent us a helping hand on Shana II."

"Sir, Neratt's company, as you commanded, has locked onto a Chain-ship and is preparing to board it while it disperses."

"Very good," Alkahas said calmly. "Surround the other warships and don't let the Xenos warship escape."

Before parting ways yesterday, he and Neratt reached an agreement: the Ocean World would be left to him, the "Sailor," Mystery of the Xenos ships would be left to the "Secrets Suppliant" to explore.

As Alkahas commanded the ships to surround the Chu-Oor people's ships, Neratt had already stepped off the deck of the Gauntlet Assault Boat.

Hearing the buzzing sound of wings, the "Secrets Suppliant" raised his Bolt Pistol and fired a bullet directly at one of the dozen or so entrances in the maze-like space in front of him.

With a loud bang, the Xenos crashed into the bomb, and the "paper" shattered.

The explosive projectile that Neratt then fired pierced through the mist and struck the Xenos's slime-covered body, blasting it into a pool of blood mist.

His guards all looked toward the entrance to the passage. The Xenos, shrouded in mist, had six eyes, its compound eyes arranged in pairs vertically.

The Xenos has a bird's beak and its entire body is covered in something that looks like hard, brittle paper. Its outer surface and flexible, sticky inner surface form a garment that resembles a sleeveless short jacket.

The Adamantine Warhead tore through the Xenos's paper-like clothing and detonated inside his body.

Accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound, one Xenos after another flew out.

Their bodies trembled, and the surrounding air seemed to be sucked into their bodies as if by a fan.

Accompanied by bursts of explosions, invisible gas bullets were fired from the tail.

Amid a series of crisp explosions, the Power Armor of a guard member was struck repeatedly, collapsing at a visible speed.

Neratt saw the hazy compound in the air, and his "Secrets Suppliant" Spirituality intuition reminded him that something was moving in the air.

He knew it was a mist of chemical mixture expelled from the complex chemical glands of the Qiu-Oor people, Xenos without hearing organs who communicated through colored hormones and fluid pheromones.

Neratt issued the order over the company's communications channel, "Attack their upper bodies, their scrotums are there, the Xenos communicate using secreted hormones."

The Astartes immediately aimed their Bolter at the Xenos's upper body, and with a deafening roar, the sacs of the Chu-Oor people ruptured one by one.

Slime splattered everywhere, and the entrance to the maze was covered in a disgusting grayish-black liquid.

The Xenos's attack immediately became scattered, the knocking sounds echoing on different Power Armor, unable to cause any damage.

After the dense hail of bullets slaughtered the frenzied Xenos, the captain of the guard stepped forward, stopping just before stepping into the disgusting slime.

He shrugged and said jokingly.

"These Xenos are disgusting, but this is the only passage we can take."

A red-black light shone in the eyes of the "Secrets Suppliant," and after a few seconds, he spoke.

"No, that's a trap. We need to take this route."

He pointed to the third passage on the left side of the passage from which the Qiu-Oor people had just emerged.
