She had received orders from the Primarch to return to Vostroya, but before leaving, she wished to personally verify the results of her efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black aircraft lifted off, soaring out of the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capital quickly receded behind them. Diana looked through the viewport at rows of iron-gray buildings, hearing the roar of machinery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw hab-towers erected around factories, realizing the Second Chapter had adopted her submitted report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Stormbird landed and Diana disembarked, she saw a fenced-off area to her right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, she walked forward several dozen meters. An attendant beside her began to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The individuals you previously spoke with have become representatives of the Gardinaal people. Consequently, several surrounding industrial zones have been merged into one large integrated industrial complex. The constructed hab-towers accommodate over twelve million people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Legion has built a temporary training ground here for preliminary screening of children of suitable age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gardinaal's Crown lacks for nothing in population. Initial screening needs to be conducted at multiple locations simultaneously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana nodded. She stopped outside the red restricted area sign of the training ground. The XII insignia on the right shoulder of the black-armored warriors confirmed the Shadows of Order conducting the recruitment were from the Twelfth Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Twelfth Chapter was permitted to recruit new neophyte on Gardinaal's Crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Images from past war councils flashed through Diana's mind. Among the various lords, Wilshire and Howard Fednder displayed the greatest strategic vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howard's came from his noble upbringing; Wilshire's stemmed from an admiration for the Primarch that surpassed others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Lord Nareth ordered the Twelfth Chapter to assist the Second in conquering neighboring star systems. Naturally, Wilshire would allow them to recruit here.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Diana pondered, her blue-green eyes remained fixed on the training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The candidates wore simple, unadorned attire, clearly from the working class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having only recently left the worker-caste, they now lived in new dwellings, but their clothing hadn't fundamentally changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Psychiatrist's\" superhuman vision could see trimmed edges on sleeves and trouser legs, and she could smell the engine oil that refused to wash out. Evidently, these were hand-me-downs from their parents, altered to fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were climbing a gray granite cliff face. A large black bell suspended above clanged, urging the youths to exert their utmost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their arms were bruised black and blue; some even had their hands scraped raw by sharp edges, blood dripping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them was one youth who had left the other candidates far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the others, he moved with greater composure. Shifting within a small range, each chosen foothold was precisely right, allowing him to climb with minimal effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Psychiatrist's\" gaze focused intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William Wood, who had recently cut his long hair short, keenly sensed that besides the Shadows of Order watching from above, over a dozen additional eyes were now fixed on him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An image flashed through his mind: a figure in military uniform, golden hair loose, eyes sharp as if they could pierce through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William's body trembled slightly, almost losing his grip on the protruding rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, his wilderness-honed reflexes allowed him to reach out desperately as he tilted, grabbing another rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pebbles fell. William took a deep breath, pouring all his awareness back into perceiving the optimal route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer sensing the situation behind him, William focused solely on climbing, swiftly scaling the cliff face to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping sweat from his brow, William heard a dignified, resonant voice sound beside his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"William Wood, congratulations. You have passed the initial screening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William's back, chilled by sweat and battered by cold wind, was suddenly enveloped in warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at the giant. Since the gloomy sky had been illuminated, he had foreseen the High Lords' downfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though William didn't fully understand what becoming part of the Shadows of Order entailed, he knew that was his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing behind the black-armored giant, William looked down. He saw the graceful figure in the black military uniform, her stride brisk and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Was it her watching me earlier?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Her gaze is sharper than the instructor's.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the youth falter under her gaze, Diana withdrew her eyes and walked towards the industrial complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gray gates of the complex, she saw a group of familiar yet changed figures. Rafa Kadona and others had been notified long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to two months prior, they now wore neat black uniforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the \"Psychiatrist's\" eyes, their greatest change was the absence of negative emotions like resentment or confusion. Their auras shimmered with the light of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana smiled. \"We meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Diana, welcome. Thank you for choosing the Predator Tank Manufacturing Complex under our management as the final stop before your departure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rafa stepped forward with a smile, gesturing behind him towards the gray structure that rose from the ground, reaching into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The orbital elevator will deliver raw materials gathered by collectors to the factory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Subsequently, the entire process of smelting and forging will be completed within this area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The final manufactured products will be received by the great Shadows of Order, taking their place in the armories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana nodded slightly. The \"Psychiatrist\" listened while scrutinizing the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next five hours of the tour, she witnessed the entire process from raw materials to finished battle tanks. She saw long-haired Gardinaal working tirelessly on production lines, sweating profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At their parting, Rafa said to her, \"Lady Diana, thank you for your guidance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have received everything we desired, even more than we imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana instantly felt something within her dissolve completely, like a sugar cube melting in coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have become the true \"Psychiatrist.\"'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, the Shadow's Sovereignity and part of the Eleventh Chapter's fleet set sail for Vostroya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, in the galactic core, Arkhan Land boarded a Squat Fortress Ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Squat League generally excluded members of the Mechanicum, Arkhan had gained much on this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the rejection he faced on Mars for disliking mechanical implants, seen as not drawing closer to the Omnissiah, he was far more welcome among the Squats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having mastered over fifty languages by age five, he integrated smoothly into Squat society. He worked alongside miners, extracting precious minerals from the galactic core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arkhan assisted the Squats in capturing a star ahead of schedule, becoming the only outsider invited on the journey to Vostroya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Squat League was gifting Lord Nareth a star. The Primarch had selected the Vostroya star system as the delivery location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with curiosity about the Squats' grand journey of towing a star from the galactic core to the northern galaxy, Arkhan naturally did not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordering his attendants to bring his data slates to his quarters, he immediately headed for the bridge.\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>",1201,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.771Z",1,"novelbin.me","3d2050bb5f909b1ac05fec78a16faafad82462667cc52c42ec7cb07cbfc8e39d","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-463","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-461",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
