No anti-air fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe they have exhausted their resources in their civil war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Company Captain nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the company's officers, his gaze lingering on Sasebo Tezuka for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Meron were the only two special individuals among the company's officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not the Father's Primarchs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Father had taken in the sons of that unnamed Primarch. They had been assigned to the Tenth Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the 1st Company, every company in the Chapter had been dismantled and reorganized. Twenty-three new companies had been formed. His was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, a former adjutant of the 18th Company, had been promoted for being a Court Baron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Captain recalled Lord Ramsey's speech at the Chapter's legion fortress on Ar Rija, the Rose Keep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Ramsey, whose appearance was identical to the Father's, but without the golden wings, had told them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From this day forward, they are members of the Tenth Chapter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are Shadows of Orders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captains understood. They were to accept outsiders. This was the Father's trust in their Chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the time being, your primary task is to make them deeply understand the Legion's culture, to help them fully integrate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Captain's mind echoed with Lord Ramsey's words. He thought of his face, so like the Father's, and straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would not fail the Father or Lord Ramsey's trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To accomplish the task, he had done his utmost to secure fifteen men from his former captain to bring to his new company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His three adjutants were the squad leaders he had commanded as an adjutant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His newly formed Command Squad Captain and Standard Bearer, and the ten squad leaders, were elite veterans under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the backbone of the 36th Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After establishing the company, he had constantly observed everyone, searching for potential squad leaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasebo Tezuka immediately drew his attention. Most in the company respected him and obeyed his requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasebo also showed obvious reverence for the Father. This somewhat surprised him, but also dispelled his last reservations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning more, he discovered that Sasebo and Meron were the leaders of the neophytes. He promoted Sasebo to be the company's first officer of former-Faceless origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 36th Company's first mission was to accompany the Lucifer Blacks to Zos, to bring the planet into compliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Company Captain, the Zosians have been forged into tough, ruthless warriors by their desperate war.\" Meron continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I believe standard integration procedures will not make them willingly accept. They have not yet agreed to our demands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to demonstrate overwhelming force, to make them realize their automatic weapons are useless against us. Only then will they accept our rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Captain looked approvingly at Meron. \"I adopt your suggestion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that the 2nd Legion had been condemned for raising xenos and attacking humans. He opened the company's vox channel and gave a pre-battle speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadows of Orders, we are ordered to bring this planet into compliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"During this process, we must strictly adhere to the Father's principles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are Shadows of Orders. We are not the Wolves, who leave only ruins in their wake. We are not the World Eaters, who slaughter indiscriminately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasebo Tezuka's fists clenched at the mention of the Space Wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated that name and the iron-grey Wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Captain emphasized gravely. \"The data provided by the Father, and the intelligence we have gathered, confirms Zos's brutal civil war has lasted eighty-five years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The war has destroyed their economy. Industrial facilities have been leveled by bombardment. The population has sharply declined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every Zosian yearns for the end of this desperate war. This is what we should exploit. Therefore, we will use the show-of-force standard procedure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy transport landed. The Confessor Captain led his line of black-armored warriors down the ramp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RAT-TAT-TAT...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense barrages erupted from behind collapsed houses and wrecked machinery, striking power armor, then ricocheting, clattering to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Captain shouted. \"Sasebo Tezuka, four o'clock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasebo's squad raised their Bedrock-pattern bolters. With a roar, tongues of flame erupted from the muzzles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mass-reactive rounds slammed into the walls behind which the Zosians were hiding. Bricks and stone flew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwaves threw a dozen child soldiers, in youth corps uniforms, into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women and children, hiding behind cover, stared in terror at the black-armored giants, at the black, terrifying weapons larger than their own thin bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Captain and the \"Listeners\" in each squad, their ears twitching, heard the suddenly held breath and the pounding hearts in the silent battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dared not move. They did not want to launch meaningless attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meron.\" The Confessor Captain called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meron stepped forward. The vox channel of his helmet's amplifier was already set to the same frequency as his translator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compatriots of Zos...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey forests appeared in the Telepath's eyes. Sound waves, passing through the leaves, rippled, amplified. His booming voice, like thunder, echoed through the factory ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman in rags dropped her autogun. She said something to the five child soldiers beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five children dropped their weapons. She crouched, arms spread, pulling two of them close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women and children dropped their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Captain left one squad behind and advanced towards the urban area where cannons still roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later, the towering city wall came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confessor Captain's eyes focused. Through the smoke, he saw a squad of black-armored warriors charging through the fire raining from the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were clad in black armor. Their speed rivaled that of Shadows of Orders halfway through augmentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they ran, they raised their Necromunda-pattern lasrifles, unleashing dense barrages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blazing beams rained on the wall. Every shot hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lucifer Blacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRASH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Lucifer Black, hit by a cannon, his chest plate shattered, his body blown apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others did not slow. They charged the wall through the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That black-armored warrior is very skilled,\" Sasebo said admiringly. He ran with his Captain, his eyes fixed on the Lucifer Black who had first scaled the wall.\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>",1079,"2026-06-06T05:05:28.648Z",1,"novelbin.me","930f4f9728268e27dad329e74527f8e22249122959602b6a615551563d174002","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-601","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-697","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
