Now standing at 2.03 meters, he wielded a bolt pistol, a modified Legion-forged variant, which was far larger than those issued to mortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He avoided the most valuable white horn, aiming instead at the beast's left foreleg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hardened diamond-tipped round pierced through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast was blasted off its feet, crashing to the ground in a tumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tierney leaped onto its head and severed the glowing horn with a single swing of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hunt complete, ' he then immediately called for an extraction team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting, he was surprised to spot another Rhinoceros with a white horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tierney recorded his insights mentally:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The lightning-stunning weapon is effective on white-horned types… but not on those that discharge electricity. Likely because they're already attuned to it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he boarded the transport craft and ascended, Tierney stood by the window, scanning the forest below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his pupils shrank. In the distance, the green forest looked torn open in multiple paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing his enhanced vision, he spotted a line of Blue-Horned Rhinoceros, all headed straight toward the human settlements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly remembered: in five days, the local harvest season on Daxos Alpha would begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his high-definition pict-recorder to document everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning to the Void Hunter, Tierney presented his trophies to the Primarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth examined the spoils and noted that the white horn was a primary ingredient for the Sequence 7 potion \"Interrogator\" of the Justiciar pathway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded approvingly at the stern-faced Tierney.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord,\" Tierney added, \"I have another important discovery. From the mouths of serfs, I've learned that the harvest season begins in five days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in the forest, I witnessed a herd of Blue-Horned Rhinoceros converging toward human settlements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is valuable intel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth's gaze deepened. He approved of Tierney's performance, while already formulating a strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is an exploitable opportunity. It could accelerate my conquest of Daxos.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning the upcoming duel was essential; only through strength and knowledge would House Vextrix yield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn't everything, especially given their devotion to Mars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of thought, he turned to Bukayo beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for battle. Your Chapter will intervene during the harvest and defend against the Blue-Horned Rhinoceros.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command, Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll destroy them and return with their horns, as an offering to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Nareth's preferences, Bukayo resolved to please him as he had in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then questioned Tierney in detail, absorbing the intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bukayo learned that aside from the beasts, during every harvest season, strange rat-like humanoids would also emerge from the shadows, raiding and looting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all the intelligence gathered, Bukayo ordered full battle preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Third Chapter was mobilizing, deep within the mountains of Daxos Alpha's surface...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apprentices of the Relic Maintenance Corps were stunned as they watched the low-sanctity foreign giant suddenly accelerate his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His servo-arm sparked brilliantly as it moved swiftly across the body of a Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the junior apprentices whispered in shock to his senior:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ginora, why is he suddenly so fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he gambling on luck after realizing he can't win… or did he really find a way to fix it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginora didn't answer right away. His augmented eye tracked the outsider's motions, running calculations via logic engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, he muttered in disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He… really found a way to repair it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gabriel, with his enhanced senses, overheard them and silently praised the Gene-Father:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's only by the Gene-Father's gift that I can understand the secrets of the Knight mech.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, the Techmarine had struggled. During his studies on Mars, Titans, and related tech were not his areas of focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His knowledge of them came only from fragments and side references, scattered and unstructured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Gabriel couldn't even find a proper starting point for repairs. A wrong move could lead to catastrophic system failure in the ancient machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just when he hit a wall, those fragments resurfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pieces that once baffled him in lectures began to click together. His superhuman memory pulled up forgotten slivers of knowledge that now made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he understood the principles, those loose ends wove themselves into a coherent web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veil shrouding the Knight lifted. He quickly devised a repair strategy and got to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five star days later, Nareth received the news: Gabriel had completed the Knight mech repairs first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Bukayo and Arsena in tow, he descended to the surface once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the treasury gates, Campbell Vextrix greeted him with noble poise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nareth, congratulations. Your tech-smith has triumphed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his brown eyes revealed worry, his tone remained confident:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that doesn't mean you've won. My Relic Tech-Priest told me his work will be done in 12 standard hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we'll perform a fair field test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe victory still belongs to the Shield of Daxos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth noticed that only two Knights remained lined up for inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense no machine spirits nearby, not in the mountains or in the surrounding fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They must have been deployed in preparation for the harvest attacks.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his awareness and immediately sensed the faint tremors beneath the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive beast horde was charging their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Campbell and said meaningfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe a more fitting test for the Knights has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are not art pieces to be admired… but warriors meant to ride into war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Campbell glanced at him, his brown eyes now showing a hint of recognition. Then his thick brows furrowed in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know about the beast tide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. And I've sensed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you require assistance, my warriors stand ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth smiled. This was a chance to win favor with the local families and gather potion ingredients\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I appreciate your offer,\" Campbell replied stiffly, \"but we can handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he finished speaking, the comms unit in the Daxos Gloria started to beep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He answered, and a panicked voice came through:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, the beast tide has begun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this time, it's larger than any in recorded history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy the story, my p@treon is 30 chapters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FDaoistJinzu\u003C\u002Fp>",1063,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.769Z",1,"novelbin.me","38f8ba80ea6fcf7d8d2b5f674bdf1a3ee650665e498837a235892ed115ba558c","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-120","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-118",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
