Rangdan's Full-Scale Invasion

Nimrod walked to Perturabo's side and gazed at the Galaxy star map.

He saw countless Red Light spreading across the Northwest of the Galaxy, and couldn't help but think to himself.

The deployment of the Ramillies-class Star Fortress, the rapid liberation of Xana, and the subsequent recapture of the Vicious Sector together with Perturabo were all effective.

The epicenter of the war is not my core territory.

Nimrod also noticed that the Colonid Sector in the northeastern part of the Galaxy had inevitably been invaded.

The Primarch picked up the Data Slate and examined the information; a torrent of data flashed through his mind.

[When the Pulheim Sector fell, 1.4 billion immigrants were enslaved by Xenos.]

The Rosa Sub-sector was invaded by Xenos fleet, and Expeditionary Fleet 365 encountered Artificial War Satellite, resulting in the annihilation of the entire fleet.

The Ryan System was invaded, the 804th Expeditionary Fleet was destroyed, and four regiments of the Solar Auxilia were reinforced by the 36th Company of the 5th Legion to carry out guerrilla resistance.

The fortress in Bastion Fortress is under siege and has been out of communication for over forty-one standard days.

...]

A moment later, the Primarch found the information he needed in the deluge of data.

Thirty-two worlds, including Abyss Port, Lethe, Lament, and Corlando, have been invaded by Xenos with metallic skins.

Nimrod's eyes narrowed. Abyss Port was the transportation hub of the Colonid Sector, and it could not be lost.

Although there are Ramillies-class Star Fortress guarding it, it is not foolproof, and we must break the siege as soon as possible.

In the northeastern part of the Galaxy, Xenos with a metallic skin...

Basmemanik.

The Trident of Balthasar Kuturi, Alastor Rorschach, and Perturabo connects the Data Slate to the Logis-Engine and examines reports.

They all looked grim. The previous battle with the Xenos had already caused them considerable losses. They thought they had severely damaged the Xenos, but they didn't expect the Xenos army to launch an even more ferocious attack.

They couldn't help but think that the Xenos they were encountering was more powerful than any other Xenos they had faced before.

They are even more powerful than the Ork Empire of the Wheel of Fire System, and the Mitu who rule the Colonid Sector.

Arsena Dunn had anticipated this; he knew the Black Emperor had been making preparations all along.

The pre-built Ramillies-class Star Fortress were not deployed, and He also ordered all Legion Warrior, except for the necessary guards, to gather at Carium Gate.

As everyone pondered, Perturabo's icy blue eyes turned to Nimrod.

"We must develop a battle plan."

Nimrod nodded. "We should report to the War Council and the Emperor, and seek their support."

We must get the Old Man in Yellow to mobilize the Order of the Omen, and we must also get other legions to send reinforcements.

"Space Sharks" and "Ashen Claws", along with Balthasar and others, are not enough.

I want to Corrosion even more people!

"I agree." Perturabo realized that what Nimrod had said in the War Council was prescient, and they needed more support.

After the two Primarch reached a consensus, they immediately submitted a request for support to the War Council in their joint name.

Perturabo's eyes were fixed on the star map. "Reinforcements will take time to arrive; we must act immediately."

Nimrod slightly. He had already devised a plan, and now he just needed to get Perturabo's approval.

"Xana can provide strong support for our counterattack; it is our base."

"The 'Iron Warriors' have established numerous fortresses in the Vicious Sector."

"I want your legion to guard this line. I believe no Xenos can break through the ironclad defenses you've built."

Nimrod raised his hand and drew a region on the star map, including the Xana and the Vicious Sector.

"This area is our secure rear."

"With the 'Iron Warriors' at the center, and advancing steadily, we can gradually reclaim the lost world."

"Of course," Perturabo said confidently, "I will crush all the Xenos."

Seeing that Perturabo had accepted his arrangements, Nimrod continued.

He then drew a straight line on the star map, like a sharp knife.

"My legions will advance reclaim the Imperial World, leaving guards behind, until they return to Carium Gate."

"Then, I will use the Carium Gate to directly deploy them to the strategic core area and open up new fronts."

"To strike directly at the Xenos," Perturabo exclaimed admiringly, "I agree with your plan."

After five more standard hours, Nimrod discussed the details of the plan with Perturabo, then boarded his shuttle and flew back to the Shadow of the Throne.

Upon returning to the Primarch's office, he gave instructions to Arsena.

"Immediately order the second, third, fourth, fifth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth Chapter to launch an attack on the Rangdan Xenos."

"..."

"The Ninth Chapter's target is Behentheim."

The Primarch's Attendants memorized the orders one by one, saying, "As you command, my lord."

After leaving the Spear of Dionysus on the weapon rack, Nimrod went to the "Nation of Disorder".

With a thought, his Spirituality spread, he touched the sphere of light, and after confirming that Howard Fender, Sanchez, and Thierry Viera were alone, he pulled them into the "Nation of Disorder."

Pascual's abilities had not yet reached the standard set by Nimrod, and he did not inform the lord of the Sixth Legion, the Black Emperor, or the prayer ritual.

Upon arriving in the Mysterious Kingdom shrouded in black mist, the three immediately bowed to the Black Emperor on the Throne.

"My lord."

"The Colonid Sector has been invaded. You must immediately lead your Chapter to Abyss Port." After saying this, Nimrod sent the image and information of Slaugth to the three of them via telepathy.

"You need to be extra careful. The invasion of Basmemanik by Rangdan may be orchestrated by Slaugth."

"Be careful if you encounter the Slaugth; among them are those capable of fighting the Primarch, or even stronger."

Seeing the gleam in Thierry's eyes, Nimrod knew that Thierry loved challenging the strong, so he emphasized his words and gave a serious warning.

Never engage him alone!

He emphasized, saying to the "Weapon Master," "Your weapon cannot inflict any real damage on the Slaugth-kin's regeneration."

"Find an opportunity to throw a grenade inside them; that's your only chance."

"Sanchez," Nimrod said to "The Pyromaniac," "your flames are the same, but more agile and have a greater chance of success than a grenade."

"Howard," he said to the "Judge," "your 'prohibition' can interfere with Slaugth's regenerative abilities, while 'Imprisonment' might be able to restrain their injuries."

"If possible," Imprisonment Slaugth.

Nimrod paused for a moment before continuing.

"Don't force yourself!"

He absolutely did not want Howard to lose his life for potion ingredients.

Based on Kion's report and his memories, Nimrod judged that Howard could handle the infiltrators alone, but his chances against the Overseer were uncertain, and he would surely die if he encountered the Destroyers.

After instructing the three, Nimrod said to Howard, "Tell Pascual to return to the Colonid Sector immediately."

Amidst the churning black mist, Nimrod transported the three back to the real world.
