The captain followed his master with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pell's eyes were deep as he scanned his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" realized that completing the Black Emperor's task was also a way to master the power bestowed upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been a \"Baron of Corruption\" for some time, but he found the Shadows of Orders of his Chapter and the Vostroyan Auxilia difficult to \"corrode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all loyal to the Black Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pell came from Tetzvok Hive, where the Black Emperor had first appeared. He had blurry memories from before becoming a Shadow of Order and occasionally returned to Vostroya. He knew how much the people of his homeworld loved their Monarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wholeheartedly agreed with their loyalty and had not tried to interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Baron of Corruption\" had only \"corroded\" a few high-ranking nobles of the Aventine Auxilia. The results were insufficient for him to master his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patiently waited for an opportunity. Now, it had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Corrupting\" the targets on this fifth planet was a good opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through questioning the captain, he had already formed a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three standard hours later, he entered a bar called the Sour Lemon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drunk slumped by the entrance, pouring liquor into a burly man's mouth, suddenly felt enveloped by shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squinted and saw a giant in a black robe, the tallest, most robust man he had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liquor spilled from his mouth, soaking his neck in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough, cough, cough...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgetting to swallow, the burly man came to his senses. He frantically swallowed, licked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As liquid splattered, Pell found a spot to stand amidst the fearful gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tables and chairs meant for ordinary people couldn't accommodate his body, enlarged by the \"Barbarian\" advancement, even larger and sturdier than a normal Shadows of Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain ordered drinks and food, looking ingratiatingly at his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pell shook his head. \"You eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Shadows of Order's Lyman's Ear took in all the sounds in the bar: the sounds of pleasure behind the door, gamblers' excited shouts, and low-pitched transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at a waiter, who had been reaching under the bar, and stopped. A sheepish smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pell said to the captain, who had quickly finished his food, uneasy, \"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two standard hours later, night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Split Lip, with four of his men, staggered out of the Sour Lemon and into a dark alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall figure appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Split Lip, I have a deal for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who're you...\" Split Lip's voice cut off. The giant before him cast a cold glance. His hand, reaching for his waist, froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What...\" He felt as if he'd plunged into an ice cave. His muddled mind instantly cleared. He swallowed and asked, fearfully, \"Deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack an officer of the Defense Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\" Split Lip felt the man before him was more terrifying than anyone he'd ever seen, even more than the legendary invisible warriors. He alone could kill the five of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\" He'd never do something that stupid. He'd agree, then skip town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will give you a starship.\" The seasoned \"Briber\" spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Split Lip's eyes widened. His breathing grew heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A starship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the underworld bosses had a starship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing steadied. He thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's lying.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pell said quietly. The captain stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Transfer the control codes to him. Take him to receive the ship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command, my Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's you, Hantsko.\" Split Lip's eyes widened. He couldn't believe the captain, who wouldn't even tip the waitress for drinks and always tried to shortchange her, was giving him his only ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight standard hours later, Split Lip, having acquired property for the first time not by theft, but legitimately, stood on his starship, the control codes clutched in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord.\" There was no reluctance on Split Lip's face. He spoke respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your command. Tell me who to hit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this ship, he could hire thousands of thugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this place became too hot, he'd become a pirate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, Barrios, with a squad of guards, hurried home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conflicts among the nobles of the throne world had intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, it had only been private skirmishes between their affiliated factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it had escalated into open conflict. Officials and officers aligned with various families were constantly being assassinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even several nobles had been killed by rival factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other worlds were also affected. Pent-up contradiction were erupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, there had been fifteen attacks. Though no major families were involved, a law enforcement officer and four administrators had been attacked, two of them killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barrios had to be careful. His patron, House Simeone, had a feud with House Gonzalez spanning over a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw his four-story building, he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm hearth and his wife's embrace dispelled the weariness of the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps made him change expression. He dropped and rolled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RAT-TAT-TAT...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense fire swept down five guards. Barrios swiftly drew his laspistol and rolled behind a vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his arm, firing a blinding beam. He peeked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face went pale. Only two of his guards remained. A hundred thugs were pouring from the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn...\" Barrios cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperate, he knew he had no chance today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't understand why these gangsters would risk death. Attacking a Defense Force officer would surely bring retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the Emperor!\" Barrios roared, firing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a black figure flashed through his vision. Limbs scattered in a mist of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barrios's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared blankly at the approaching giant. He had never seen anyone so tall, so robust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a mercenary. Pell.\" Pell replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barrios's eyes lit up. He looked at the giant eagerly. \"A man of your skill is wasted as a mercenary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Pell on his side, he needn't worry about his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his help and House Simeone's patronage, he could rise high. Becoming a General of the Defense Force was not impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, my Lord. I would be honored to serve you,\" Pell said, 'excitedly.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three standard months later, in the meeting room of House Simeone's estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barrios respectfully reported to Pell, seated at the head. \"My Lord, I have secured control of over half the Defense Force.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viscount Simeone then said, admiringly: \"My Lord, I have invited thirty-six allied, associated, and friendly families, including Cardozo and Almada, to a banquet tomorrow evening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Acknowledged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the \"corroded\" had left, the \"Baron of Corruption\" went to the door and tapped the rune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the door, the rune turned from green to red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one in House Simeone dared disturb him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, black mist rose, swallowing his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the fourth layer of the Kingdom of Disorder, after bowing, Pell looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw two blurry figures nearby, barely recognizable as Bukayo Arshavin and Flamini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord,\" the \"Soul Assurer\" Bukayo spoke first. \"I have mastered the situation in the 4th Planet's Defense Command and am hidden beneath its headquarters. I can send the high-ranking officers to sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord,\" the \"Calamity Priest\" Flamini said next. \"I have planted bombs under the 1st Planet's Defense Force headquarters. Detonating them will bury them in fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord,\" the \"Baron of Corruption\" Pell finally said. \"I have taken control of most of the Defense Force...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth scrutinized Pell. Within the Kingdom of Disorder, he could clearly see that Pell's spirit was still mottled, not seamless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'His digestion has accelerated significantly, but it's not complete.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He can't advance with me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No need to wait. Countless worlds in the vast galaxy meet the requirements.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Mentor of Disorder\" advancement ritual required a world that had existed for over eleven hundred years with intact order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth could name many such worlds with a moment's thought. Several were already in his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Great Crusade, for instance, there was that Sector, conquered by the Thousand Sons, Space Wolves, and Word Bearers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It comprised six systems, enough for nearly twenty to advance to \"Mentor of Disorder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was in his plans, of course, not just for advancing beyonders. Just as he had chosen 'Terra,' the Shrike's beak could pierce Astartes power armor; it might be a potion ingredient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Avenians, isolated for millennia, had developed their own unique civilization. Their vast repository of knowledge amazed Magnus and his Thousand Sons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of Ramsey, the \"Rose Bishop,\" whom he had not brought into the Kingdom of Disorder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, when he had extended his psychic energy to touch Ramsey's orb, he had seen him hidden inside a corpulent noble lounging in a rocking chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Plus the 2nd Planet, besides the throne world, the 3rd Planet four of the eight nearby worlds cannot quickly support 'Terra.''\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's time to create the final chaos and advance to \"Mentor of Disorder.\"'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reining in his thoughts, Nareth issued the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Execute the plan at 23:11 tomorrow evening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vostroya Tizca Hive -> Tetzvok Hive, to avoid conflicting name with Prospero Tizca\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>",1540,"2026-06-06T05:05:28.115Z",1,"novelbin.me","3036196069ba40f7cb06f58b2cc379aa37bdc10962b9e6b06f9c53867dbf2ece","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-557","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-609",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
