After the Second Rangdan War, the Shadow of Order Remained

The largest legion

The Shadow of the Throne, Primarch Office.

"He didn't even see me; he just had Bendregg tell me to return to Caliban immediately and fulfill my duties."

Luther's tone was complex, Affliction and disappointment.

They didn't talk, didn't hold anyone accountable, and didn't even question the obvious changes in his body.

As a seasoned "Lawyer," he didn't need to use his prepared arguments, but he felt no relief whatsoever.

Nimrod looked scrutinizingly at Luther and Zahariel behind him, who looked sad and lost.

[Hmm, Lion's handling of the situation was exactly as I expected, but I didn't anticipate his decisiveness. I had intended for Luther and the others to enjoy the victory celebration.]

As Nimrod pondered, Ulian Bendregg spoke with a gloomy expression.

"Father has ordered me to go to Caliban."

Ulian recalled his father's sharp gaze and knew that he had already noticed that he was keeping Luther and Nimrod's secret.

He was Exile.

"My lord, I pledge my allegiance to you." Ulian performed the knightly salute of Caliban.

Nimrod stood up and walked toward Ulian, whom he had "Corrosion".

From the moment he chose to keep the secret, today's outcome was already predetermined.

Nimrod drew the Sword of Vaul, "Concept Substitution" it as a knight's sword, and draped it over Ulian's shoulder.

"I accept your loyalty."

"You may wait outside for a while." Nimrod then went to the "Nation of Disorder" and ordered the Space Ape to concoct the Briber," " Nightmare, " and " Arbiter."

Nimrod hoped that Ulian and Luther would complement each other's abilities, but he was not suited for the "Visionary" Pathway.

Urian is better suited than Luther to win over the hearts of the Terran Dark Angels. He possesses a convincing charisma and sufficient authority as an "arbitrator," making Caliban a suitable "sheriff" for his jurisdiction.

A moment later, Nimrod pushed the three bottles of medicine in front of the three people.

With a thought, he sent Ulian the common knowledge he needed to know, and sent mind pulses to Luther and Zahariel, informing them how to activate the "Euclidean Sigil" and the ritual procedure for praying to the Black Emperor.

"Thanks be to my Lord for this."

"Thank you for your gift, my lord," Ulian paused for a moment after hearing their address, then corrected himself, "Thank you for your gift, my lord."

Nimrod slightly, signaling the three of them to stand up, and then sent a Thought Impulse to Luther.

"Offer me the secret tomes of the Order of Sirius that you have kept hidden away."

Nimrod knew that Luther's betrayal was related to his reading of the Order of Sirius' scriptures.

Luther trembled slightly, looking at the Black Emperor with awe.

When he wiped out the Order of Sirius, " no one, including Lion, knew about the books he had secretly kept, yet the Black Emperor did.

Luther recalled the distinctive patterns on those covers: a graphic consisting of an octagonal symbol, a circle, and an arrow.

He had the idea of reading those books to gain strength.

But now that he has received the Black Emperor's gift, he has lost interest in those books.

[Since my lord is interested, why not use them to Bribery him?]

The Briber " thought silently, bowing his head to the Black Emperor.

After the three left, Arsena Dunn, carrying the Data Slate, walked into the Primarch's office.

"My lord, I have compiled a briefing on the Battle of Thramas."

"The Shadow of Order has suffered 34,950 casualties, and since the start of the war, nearly 58,100 have died."

Nimrod felt a chill in the Throne was leaning against, he thought to himself in silence.

Including the ongoing battles on various fronts, the Second Rangdan War resulted in losses of nearly 60,000 men.

Compared to the original 90,000 casualties of the "Dark Angels," who were the main force, this is 30,000 fewer.

This was mainly due to finding effective methods to deal with the Brain-Eaters, Bone-Eater, and Slaugth before the final battle, and also because I mobilized more Primarch and Astartes to participate in the war.

Nimrod then thought that, until the very end, the Old Man in Yellow had not released the Shard of the Void Dragon of the Labyrinth of Eternal Night.

[The Old Man in Yellow was indeed unreliable. If the Void Dragon had been there to help, the battle would have ended sooner, and at least 10,000 more people in the Shadow of Order would have survived.]

After all, I can only borrow the power of the Tear of Silence through a spell, which is not as effective as directly summoning the Void Dragon.

While Nimrod was pondering, the Primarch's Attendants continued to report.

"The legion received reinforcements of 15,600 men during this period, bringing its total strength to 242,600."

"The Chief Librarian reports that over 1,800 Librarian are expected to join the legion."

After reporting on the situation of "Shadow of Order," Arsena continued.

"Despite Master Ulian's intelligence, the casualties of the Dark Angels in Thramas are still difficult to estimate, but are estimated at around 29,000."

"The number of casualties in Bastion Fortress is 19,040."

"The figures provided by Glenn Worsotto are accurate; the Thramas is 13,850, up from the previous 4,760."

The Superhuman Brain of the Primarch instantly produced the numbers he needed.

The Dark Angels currently number between 150,000 and 200,000, of whom at least 50,000, and at least half of the new recruits in the future, will be controlled by Luther and Ulian.

The Ultramarines currently number around 100,000, but Glenn can only influence the 12,000 Terran-born.

Yes, as the main force, after the "Second Rangdan War," the "Shadow of Order" was still the largest legion, unlike the "Dark Angels" which suffered heavy losses.

He gathered his thoughts and instructed, "Star map."

The silver-haired Arsena immediately picked up his Control Staff and brought up the holographic star map.

"Besides the 7th Legion, the mission of the remaining eleven Chapter is to eliminate the Xenos."

As Nimrod spoke, he outlined twelve paths centered on the Thramas and numbered them.

"The remaining task forces under my command will form the Seventh Combined Fleet."

"We must Purification all the Xenos that have invaded the Imperium within three years."

After quickly recording the data, the Primarch's Attendants put away the Data Slate.

"My lord, the Emperor has summoned the War Council, which will be held in five days."

After the decisive battle at Thramas, the terracotta-colored warships were the first to depart.

Luther and his companions were aboard Ulian's warship and were sent back to Caliban.

Lion El'Jonson didn't even wait for the War Council before ordering the fleet to leave.

After a brief exchange with Nimrod, Omega left.

Guilliman arrived at the Shadow of the Throne with ten newly selected members of the Honor Guard.

At the same moment Nimrod met Guilliman, in the Ultima Segmentum, in Mankora.

A magnificent black building was constructed atop the highest peak.

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the cries of griffins echoed.

Ethan, who had been promoted to Logis, reported to Thomas, the Chief Librarian.

"Sir, the first batch of candidates who passed the test totaled 1,960 and can become formal Apprentice."

"They have all mastered the unique Psionic Energy technique you created—'The Gryphon's Roar '."

As Ethan spoke, he gently stroked his griffin.

As Thomas's confidant and a knight of the Royal Court, he had his own griffin.

Although the "Beast Tamer" among the Apothecary entered Mankora to provide modification surgery support for Librarian candidates and began taming griffins, most Librarian could only use the griffins on a rotating basis.

Apprentice can only come into contact with it during instruction and in group practice, seizing limited time to comprehend the "Gryphon's Roar."

"I've compiled the Lexicanum's records and made some discoveries."

"Nine hundred and thirty of the candidates are from Mankora, and they are also more likely than other candidates to master 'Gryphon's Roar'."

"I also discovered that all Librarian based in Mankora have mastered 'The Gryphon's Roar,' while only 11.6% of Librarian based elsewhere have it."

Thomas nodded slightly and gave the order.

"Apprentice will be dispatched to various Chapter according to the established allocation plan, taking over the Librarian and rotating to study in Mankora."

He gazed at Ethan. "Your next duty is to travel to Prospero to study and hunt Soul-Eater Bee for our lord."

Thomas patted Ethan's griffin's fur. "Make the most of your flight time."

"It would be an honor to serve my father." Ethan excitedly accepted the order, thinking of serving his father who had been rescued from Mortarion in Barbarus.

Ethan flipped and leaped onto the griffin, stroking its thick, golden fur.

With its head held high, it strides forward like a proud lion.

Its wings flapped, and its long, hooked beak emitted a sharp cry.

A strong wind whipped against the Psychic Hood, and Ethan took a deep breath, gathering his psionic Psionic Energy before letting out a roar.

Those with Aether vision can clearly distinguish that the roars are layered and converge towards the center.

They would be even more astonished to discover that this roar not only echoed in the real world, but also swept across the Warp.

One kilometer ahead, three of the six Space Wolves collapsed, while the other three ran off in panic in different directions.

Ethan felt the "Gryphon's Roar" and thought to himself.

Mankora is truly a magical world, home to such wondrous creatures as the Golden Gryphon.

"Gryphon's Roar" is an even more wondrous Psionic Energy technique, causing greater damage to creatures more closely connected to the Warp.

The damage inflicted on Psyker exceeds that of ordinary humans, Warp creatures, it exceeds that of Psyker.

Ethan recalled what the Chief Librarian had said: Mankora was the recruitment world his father had chosen for the Librarian.

"Father, you are wise."
