At the same time, the Master of Vox transmitted the speech to every ship in the 33rd Expedition Fleet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadows of Order! Soldiers of the Auxilia! The brutish skulls of these Ogryn cannot comprehend the brilliance of the Imperium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, we will bring them the light of enlightenment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth surveyed the Company Captains. He paused, and his tone shifted from fervent to commanding as he made his expectations clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadows of Order, you are no longer Reapers. Slaughter is not your purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In battle, I command you: Do not let bloodlust or rage govern your actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay focused. Exploit your gifts. Find the enemy's weakness, and strike with lethal precision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Nareth carefully observed the reactions of the eleven Captains. The most resistant were Cezak, Samir, and Robin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanchez, who had previously been equally resistant, seemed deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each Captain looked at Nareth with anticipation. All of them hoped to be chosen to fight alongside their gene-father, a rare and immense honor for any Astartes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cezak held his head high. As First Captain, he believed this honor was rightfully his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of expectation, Nareth slowly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adams, your Fourth Company will fight by my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cezak's anger surged. He turned sharply to look at Adams, whose expression remained calm, but the desire in his eyes betrayed his hunger for the same glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Adams was the one chosen. Instinctively, Cezak's hand gripped the chainsword at his waist, eyes blazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been passed over. Denied the glory he felt matched his rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams, feeling the searing anger directed at him like explosive rounds, remained expressionless, cold as ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and slammed his right fist against the Shadows of Order insignia on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is how the warriors of the 11th Legion identified themselves, plainly and with purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, I will prove your choice is wise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth nodded. Among his sons, Adams was the bore the strongest resemblance to him in features and temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already spoken with him before, Adams, a man of logic, unswayed by emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth suspected that if Adams hadn't been as ruthlessly cold on the battlefield as he was in demeanor, he likely would have been rejected by the bloodthirsty Reapers\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he'd also discerned one unshakable pillar in his son's icy rationale: absolute obedience to his commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and his company were the perfect choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining Captains, quietly disheartened, returned to their ships to begin their respective assault missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth boarded a transport ship and landed first on the unnamed grassland world inhabited by Ogryns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped out of the ship, his left hand wore the silver gauntlet, now modified, its forearm housing a built-in bolter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This design was inspired by Guilliman, who also used a power gauntlet, the Hand of Dominion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his waist was a power sword, chosen for agility and precision to complement the raw power of his left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon landing, Nareth immediately received Horus's transmission with target coordinates, and soon, Adams arrived with 974 warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ogryns had no anti-air capability, so the Fourth Company deployed rapidly via transport, rather than orbital drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most eye-catching part of the Fourth Company was their five black-painted Malcador Heavy Tanks, vehicles that had been active on battlefields even before the Unification of Terra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the later-standard Predator and Sicaran tanks used during the Great Crusade, these tanks, named after Malcador, the Emperor's most trusted confidant, were common in the early Legiones and Auxilia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Save for three officer, this was the first time any of the Shadows of Order had laid eyes upon their gene-father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at him with awe and fervor, and then froze, as if in a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth smiled faintly at their reaction and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sons, you will grow used to fighting by my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, let us begin our conquest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the first step toward the objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Malcador tanks, engines roaring like beasts, rolled forward, flattening the tall grasses in their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams followed immediately, and the warriors of the Shadows of Order marched after, feeling as if their armor and bodies had become lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Nareth stood before a crude stone fortress, assembled from massive rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Augur Matrix, this was the third-largest Ogryn settlement, with a population exceeding 10,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the Ogryns' massive appetites, establishing a settlement of this size was a feat of its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth found himself idly wondering: 'What do they even eat to survive?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horus, leading the Luna Wolves, was assigned to attack the second-largest settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to their plan, once each force completed their assault, they would unite to conquer the largest Ogryn city together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth opened the company comms and addressed the Fourth Company:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before battle begins, I remind you: remain calm, discern the weakness, and strike with lethal precision!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not disappoint me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth didn't seize Adams's command; he merely gave a final directive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadows of Order warriors felt a surge of tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Adams spoke, already prepared to implement his gene-father's orders:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All squads, maintain strict formation. Advance in disciplined order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Malcador tanks will spearhead the assault. All other squads will support their advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words gave the warriors direction. Under their Captain and lieutenants, the Fourth Company rapidly formed a proper battle line around the tanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth nodded with satisfaction. Adams had not let him down; he had set the standard for what it meant to be a Shadow of Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating his energy field generator, Nareth's power gauntlet lit up with a blinding golden light, drawing the eyes of every soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw that, unlike the typical blue shimmer of a standard power field, the gene-father's gauntlet blazed with gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes followed him as he surged forward, appearing instantly before the stone wall, and punched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden lightning bolt split the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening thunderclap shook the open plains, and the entire Ogryn settlement heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adams watched in awe as his gene-father's single punch cracked the massive wall, then charged through the breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his face remained stoic, his voice carried a rare, fervent edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with one voice, the Shadows of Order echoed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For Father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drivers of the Malcador tanks roared with adrenaline, their machine spirits howling as they smashed through the stone defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main guns boomed, firing massive shells that streaked with blinding white light into the Ogryn camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Astartes surged through the breach, battle formation tight and execution flawless.\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>",1116,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.768Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c8c6d47bbeb7e607570a3215c6708b44bfbfc6e98ef4e819b9e15a959c856a1","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-84","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-82",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
