Arsena Dunn, clad in immaculate white armor, entered the Fane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Arsena stepped into the Fane, Nareth was aware of his arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head and saw Arsena's armor covered in runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black runes on his chest and abdomen matched those on the Grimnyr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes on his arms were Aeldari Fire Dragon runes. The runes on his legs came from other xenos, like the Fra'al.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth watched Arsena approach. He asked: \"Are you satisfied with the armor the Forge Lord crafted for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, I am most satisfied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This armor combines the Rangdan personal energy shield, the Squats' shield-weave technology, and bonded alloy. Without hindering movement, it provides protection comparable to power armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is because I don't have special requirements like Marlena.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hovered his left hand above the black energy stone on his waist. \"Through experiments, activating the Warp circuits increases my psychic spell power by twelve percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Activating the Aeldari Fire Dragon runes on my arms further enhances fire-based spells by fifteen percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth nodded. The \"White Tower\" Pathway didn't have special requirements before advancing to Sequence 6 \"Polymath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After becoming a \"Polymath,\" based on the abilities learned and analyzed, special needs would arise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Arsena's special requirements stemmed from psychic aspects, especially the Fire Dragon runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth could see the Fire Dragon runes inscribed on Arsena's arms were vivid, crimson hues concealing potent power. Clearly, the psychic materials and craftsmanship were top-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Legion had many psychic artisans, only two possessed this level of skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Santiago came from the Borgkamp family, generations of psychic artisans. But he had just succeeded as Lord of the Fifth Chapter, busy repairing the Kalium Gate. He wouldn't be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left the technology-oriented psyker, Miguel , the family that forged psychic blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miguel inscribed them for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your discernment is correct, my Lord. Indeed, him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Research on the Ymga Monolith has made some new progress. Miguel was ordered to come report.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, I will see him personally.\" Nareth looked at the Arsena holding a data slate. \"Has the Imperium reached an agreement with the Squat League?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After prolonged negotiations, Imperium representatives and the Squat League have reached an agreement.\" Arsena's eyes shone. He said with a full smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Squat League is willing to join the Imperium and provide the Imperium with a portion of its manufactured weaponry and equipment output. Notably, the Imperial Administration representative set the minimum output quota at a mere one and a half percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the Squat League's one and a half percent output rivals that of most Imperial industrial worlds, in our subsequent agreement, the minimum share is four percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth nodded slightly. The Squat League's strength had indeed secured them quite favorable terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arsena continued his report: \"The Squat League has assembled an Iron-Sworn contingent. The number of Kin reaches twenty thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having just experienced a major war, the Squats' recovery speed is remarkably fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides ships requiring time to build, their numbers have likely recovered by at least half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth was not surprised at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deceased Squats return to the Votann. Their memories become data, forging future Kin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their bodies become materials fed into the forges, shaped into new Kin by clone-woven technology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All Squats know they are born from the forges. They fully accept this process, viewing return to the Votann as an honor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth remarked with feeling: \"For any Kin of the Forge, the greatest punishment is exile, losing the qualification to return to the Votann.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's why. No wonder the Squat League is so confident, displaying a tough stance towards Imperium representatives.\" Arsena exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mars, during negotiations, although not obtaining Standard Template Constructs, gained the qualification for observation and learning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Squat League permits them to visit certain factories. How much they gain depends on the Tech-Priests' abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terms reached by the Imperium and Mars aligned roughly with what he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In the normal course of the war, the Imperium gained nominal submission and a small output share. Mars would acquire some technology.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Iron Warriors obtained stable plasma gun manufacturing technology. The Thousand Sons received several Warp-energy gathering runes from me and gained knowledge of Squat history.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The true victor is me. Most of the Squats' conventional technology, I obtained from the Votann. Owning over twenty systems, the Squat League's four percent output rivals most forge worlds. Trading priority and preferential terms. A star. An Iron-Sworn contingent of at least fifty thousand.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nareth reflected, the Arsena reminded him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, the Legion is about to depart. You previously designated the Ramilies-class starfort as the future trading location with the Squat League. Should we arrange for Shadows of Order to garrison it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment's thought, Nareth instructed: \"Order the First Chapter to select a Lieutenant and a squad to remain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, Miguel entered the Fane. He approached the Primarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, research on the second chamber has achieved preliminary results. We deciphered part of its contents regarding methods to create anti-psychic fields.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beneath the chamber's control area, we discovered a large matrix. Activating it would generate a field covering a vast area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We couldn't determine if activation would trigger uncontrollable consequences, so we didn't act recklessly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not activate the control runes.\" Nareth knew activating the anti-psychic field within the Ymga Monolith wouldn't cause consequences like the Pariah Nexus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Great Rift opened, the Scybalax Warp Storm's interstellar travel wasn't affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anti-psychic field was prepared for the replication ships. Once activated, it might trigger a chain reaction, prematurely activating the Necron artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nareth pondered, Miguel continued his report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Creating an anti-psychic field requires a substance called blackstone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Within the Ymga Monolith, a portion of stored blackstone exists. Our first replication product has been transported to the Shadow's Sovereignty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the technology is still immature, the device is as large as a tank. Activation requires at least one Terran hour. Its effective radius is only one kilometer centered on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the anti-psychic field generated by the Ymga Monolith couldn't dispel Warp storms, the energy field created by its technology could isolate the Warp within a certain range, proving highly effective against psykers and daemons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\" The \"Baron of Corruption\" gazed at Miguel. \"You have mastered the power I bestowed upon you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, I believe so. After committing numerous Necron runes to memory, I always feel a dissolving sensation within.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I am now a true 'Savant.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miguel, promoted to Sequence 8 \"Archaeologist,\" departed three days later, returning to the Ymga Monolith to continue archaeology on the tens of millions of years old Necron artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadows of Order fleet set sail, departing from the Squat League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the black warships, fourteen deep grey, thick-hulled ships stood out conspicuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smallest among them matched Imperial cruisers in length, with even thicker hulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty thousand elite Kin, fifty thousand Ironkin, one hundred and thirty thousand miners, and artisans departed the Galactic Core for the first time.\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>",1185,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","f9d120ab53523c9e59e22b0d4edf1e4f7faeee9ff6bd0fb8fef1e57a886ba899","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-416","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-414",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
